COSER, I became the leader of despair

Regardless of whether this conclusion is correct or not... In short, this is Xi Jianzi's first thought.She thought that Mori Ogai had taken a fancy to her Xuehua Qijing, and then took the opportunity to take the Xuehua Qijing away when Shi Jianzi put it in the doll shop for repairs.

And that day she just met Mori Ogai.

Thinking of this reason, Xi Jianzi felt that the conclusion he made in less than three seconds became extremely reliable.

After all, Mori Ogai likes little girls very, very much.

Who would have thought that he would not let go of a doll girl?

Then the blond doll in front of me... is it an apology?

Xijianzi took out the puppet girl who was about the size of Xuehua Qijing from the suitcase, the golden curly hair was very soft, no!Braided, long hair slowly falling behind her like seaweed.The style of the skirt on her body is quite beautiful, and the person who designed it must be a person who understands modern trends very well.

After thinking about such things, Xi Jianzi began to doubt the possibility of her own aesthetics... Her aesthetics are really bad.

Xi Jianzi held the puppet, and pressed his hands on the somewhat empty chest and abdomen of the doll.Just as she was looking carefully at the real face of the puppet, her tightly closed eyes suddenly opened.The blue eyeballs rolled around and instantly released a lot of light.

"Good day." A familiar voice came from the mouth of this strange puppet.

Xuehua Qijing's voice.

Xi Jianzi almost threw the puppet in his hand.

The puppet with Xuehua Qijing's voice came out of Xi Jianzi's hand naturally, she stood firmly on the ground, and made an elegant salute gesture towards Xi Jianzi.

To be honest, this appearance looks a little ridiculous.After all, a doll with a height of only seventy or eighty centimeters acted like a princess.

It's both cute and creepy.

Xi Jianzi tentatively said, "Xue Hua Qi Jing?"

Long blond curly hair, blue eyes, and a beautiful doll that almost resembles Alice in Mori Ogai has a happy smile on its lips.

"Exactly, me."

Xijianzi can feel a kind of real happiness from the other person, and the happiness of the doll has surpassed her (Xijianzi) as the master.

Xuehua Qijing seemed to have become lighter, or maybe it was the joy in her that made her lighter than before.The little girl said, "Let's talk while walking."

If you indulge a little, then Xi Jianzi will agree.But Xi Jianzi didn't want to indulge this overly fragile and overly arrogant puppet who always did things beyond her ideas.

(I am the master.)

Xuehua Qijing watched in amazement that the footsteps of the human who bought her stopped in place, and he even sat there without moving.

"I want to tell you something." She said in an extremely soft voice.

"You can also say it here." Xi Jianzi was determined not to move his footsteps.

Xuehua Qijing looked at Xi Jianzi pitifully, Xi Jianzi felt weird.In the end, she gave up her claim and stepped on the bench with those small feet that even a girl could grasp.

After smiling for a long time, Xuehua Qijing said: "I want to change my name."

She didn't want to be called Xuehua Qijing.

"Then what do you want to be called?" Xi Jianzi asked.She propped her chin up, but she actually thought about it.The name Xuehua Qijing is looking forward to is...

Alice.

"I want to change my name to Alice." She has a pair of gentle blue eyes, but the yearning for "Alice" in them is so obvious that others can see it.

Want the name "Alice".

Want to be the real Alice.

Xijianzi didn't understand why.

Because she doesn't know the story about "Alice", she doesn't know the importance of Alice to these puppets.

That's it.

but……

"No."

The man's jaw was raised a little, and his purple eyes were as cold as ice.Ice cubes, the word comes up again.The last time it appeared was when it was describing the eyes of Ayatsuji pedestrians.

When this person is angry, it turns into ice cubes.

Xuehua Qijing asked again: "Why?"

"Because Xuehua Qijing is my name."

When Luo Zhen created this puppet, he only created such a concept.A concept has no name, only a mass of soul.Even the name "Xuehua Qijing" was taken out by Xi Jianzi and given to her in a flash of inspiration.

"Name is the shortest mantra in the world" - Onmyojis regard this sentence as the supreme speech, and this sentence is also the same for the sons of gods.

Once a name is mastered, it cannot be allowed to change.Otherwise, the "contract" signed at that time will be partially invalid.

Xijianzi refuses to change Xuehua Qijing's name.

The puppet who was rejected twice in a row suddenly changed her face, her gentle face changed instantly, and suddenly turned into the face of a ferocious tiger.The doll's soulless, smooth face had the wrinkles that humans would get when angry, and the girl doll was ignited by an extreme, negative anger.

"Why!" she began to scream.

Xi Jianzi didn't care about her.She pulled Xuehua Qijing away, and stuffed the rebellious girl doll into the box.Her behavior is a little rough, but it must be based on the premise that she is trying to restrain her emotions.

Xuehua Qijing always does things that go too far.

The puppet first screamed and struggled, and then it was tightly locked in the suitcase inlaid with golden roses.See you soon.She could feel the fighting sounds of the dolls in the suitcase, but she would never open it and let the other party out.Unless that guy can sort out his bad temper.

Xuehua Qijing is an extremely bad girl.

Xi Jianzi likes good children.

From a certain point of view, those two in her family just grew up on his happy spot.

Dunhe, power times.

But the two of them...

They are all dead.

They don't have the temperature of a living person, they don't exist in this world at all.

Xi Jianzi carried his suitcase and decided to take a taxi back.

Dun is not at home.

After Dun left a note at home, he came to a place that Xi Jianzi was very familiar with.once.

The place he came to was the home of the landlady who had smashed the house when he suddenly appeared that day.And Dun.The reason why he appeared here was to redeem his own necklace from the other party.

On that day, Dun, who smashed the other party's rented house and was unable to pay back, had to put the most valuable thing on his body-the necklace as collateral in the landlady's wife.After earning enough salary, after hesitating for a long time, Duncai finally had the courage to take this step to redeem his things.

that necklace.

It is unknown who handed him the necklace.

For Don, it must be something very important.

Even now he has completely forgotten.

The landlady probably didn't think that it had been so long, that the kid who smashed her house before would come back obediently and pay the money.In fact, she thought that the other party would put the necklace here and run away?

Anyway, that's a lot of money, and if you're a student, you'll have to do odd jobs for a long time.

When receiving the envelope from the other party, the landlady was shocked by the thickness of the envelope.

During this time... Could it be that he was doing something illegal?

In fact, I guessed right from a certain angle.

After getting a large sum of money, the landlady naturally wanted to return the necklace that had been impounded to the other party.

"wait for me."

So Dun stood by the side door and waited for her.

After about ten minutes, the landlady came out with a small box in her hand.

"This is what I used as a dowry... I gave it to you." She seemed a bit concerned, but in the end she didn't take back the old box.

"Thank you."

The landlady was a little dumbfounded.

She felt that the boy who came to lose money was a little too stupid, as if he came from the country.Children from the countryside are a little sad in the city. After all, the adults here are intriguing, while the children have all kinds of scheming.

It's really hard to live easily.

But she has no right to intervene in other people's lives.

Dun opened the old jewelry box in a sparsely populated place, and the necklace was neatly placed in the box.

It was an unattractive, extremely simple necklace.Apart from the fact that it is made of silver, there is nothing to boast about.

In the center of the thin silver chain, there is a crooked little moon.

The shape of a crescent moon.

The moon is also made of silver.

Dun couldn't remember who gave the necklace.Even now that his memory has recovered a little, he still can't remember that person's face.

So [Quan Jinghua] will know the original owner of this necklace?

Because Quan Jinghua appeared in Dun's memory, he thought that maybe the other party knew the owner of the necklace.

He returned to the port mafia as if lost, and met his former boss.I don't know why, but I probably wanted to say something, and Dun asked, "What are you going to do next?"

"Here comes one, newcomer." Unexpectedly, Akutagawa replied.

"What kind of person is it?" Don asked again.

It would be fine if Akutagawa didn't answer him.

"A child named Quan Jinghua."

Don's eyes widened.

****

Osamu Dazai and Kunikida searched for "Xiaoxing" to no avail.The information Tong Mo gave them was too vague, how could they find it?They knew that Xiao Xing was young, with green eyes and black hair, she might already be someone else's wife, probably a child from the country.Probably in Yokohama.This is all they know.

And the client is still a missing person.

It is simply too difficult for them.

Simultaneously with this entrustment, there is another "elimination of disaster-level beasts" promulgated by the government.

A tiger destroyed a large number of houses and dealers, and was complained by many people.

The government handed over the commission to the Armed Detective Agency.

"Do it well." The official said with a smile.

The great people always put a smile on them.

Just as Kunikida complained about this, his colleague Osamu Dazai disappeared.

He thought, probably in which river he could find the other party.

The river flows slowly.

Dusk, the time to break the demons—

A teenager who was kicked out of the orphanage passed out from hunger on the grass by the river.

He decides to rob the wallet of the next person who passes by.

……

"Newcomer?" Xi Jianzi heard Dun's words.At that time, she was inquiring about "what should I do if my puppet becomes bad-hearted" on the Internet.And the reason why she browsed these contents was because Xuehua Qijing did bad things while she was sleeping.

The doll, whose master refused her request to change her name, lost her temper.After being forcibly stuffed into the suitcase by her master (Xijianzi didn't understand the power of this suitcase, and forced this lawless doll girl to death), Xuehua Qijing's temper changed. It was like a volcano that could explode at any moment.

But disobedient children will never learn to obey without teaching them certain lessons.And Xi Jianzi felt that Xuehua Qijing had exhausted all her patience with this puppet.Whether it was the tea party in the dream before, the attack on Alice, or the request to change the name now...

Xi Jianzi felt very distressed.

The reason why she bought this doll was because after Luo Zhen introduced the six "perfect" doll girls, she had some sympathy for the one-eyed doll that Luo Zhen thought was a waste product.This sympathy is the main reason why Xijianzi bought Xuehua Qijing.

Xuehua Qijing is a very pure name.In Xijianzi's opinion.

But one night, Xijianzi met the puppet girl again who made her feel annoyed.Xi Jianzi woke up in a sea full of lotus flowers and lotus leaves. The scenery here almost reproduced the scene when she opened the gate of Tongmo's temple that day.Xi Jianzi pushed aside those lotus leaves and lotus flowers, but the pink and green colors seemed endless, no matter how many pieces she moved, she couldn't see the next burner.Xi Jianzi stood up, but the lotus flowers here were all too tall and too big, like lotus flowers raised by giants.With her nearly 1.7 meters tall, she couldn't breathe the air above.

But this is her dream, her world.

Xi Jianzi probably guessed that Xuehua Qijing's ability was related to invading other people's spiritual dreams, so she stomped her feet.

"Go away." A voice that didn't look like a man and didn't look like a woman came out of her throat. The stone fell into the water and vibrated in circles. Like a stone with a huge splash.The lotus retreated step by step as if it had grown legs, and the world full of pink and green disappeared.

The puppet girl who thought she could beat her master to the point of annoyance and scrambled her feet instantly changed the face of the world.Xuehua Qijing's ability is to devour people's hearts, which is an inherent skill of the consciousness puppet she created as Luo Zhen.She can peek into some memories belonging to humans, and then defeat them with these memories.

So the environment around Xijianzi began to change from the Zenith.The lotus flowers have turned into white bricks, and the lotus leaves have turned into lacquered red pillars.

Xi Jianzi heard a call, so she turned her head and looked behind.

The black-haired girl in a white hoodie, or shrine maiden costume, held a broom in her hand, her face puffed up, and she looked angry.

"Xijianzi, why are you still here in a daze? There has been no movement in the backyard cleaning up to now."

Xi Jianzi lowered his head and found that his white coat had been changed.She saw a bunch of long black and straight hair hanging down her chest, she was wearing a white blouse on the upper body, and a red kimono skirt underneath.

Xi Jianzi raised her head again, and the witch's face was slightly confused.

"See you. See you. What are you thinking?"

The black-haired, green-eyed Haruyuki Miko took the broom from the asking Miko, "I lost my broom."

"Qingzi, go find another one."

The shrine maiden named Kiyoko snorted, but immediately sensed something was wrong.

"Why don't you go get it yourself? No, you go get it with me."

That's how the next itinerary was decided.

After getting a new broom, Haruyuki Miko hastily cleaned the backyard twice.She sneaked out of the shrine along the path she remembered.She kept going down and came to the steps halfway up the mountain.Standing on the steps, Haruyuki Miko saw the dark torii gates hanging on the mountain, passing through the access road, Temizuya, worship hall, Kagura hall, granting place...

She went outside again, almost to the road.At the intersection of this approach road stands a thin and long stone tablet with the words "Shrine Toshogu Shrine" written on it.

A junior high school student wearing a knitted hat hurried past, waving his arms at Haruyuki Miko when he saw her.

"Morning, Miko Haruyuki!" He was a very energetic male student, so he shouted loudly.

Haruyuki Miko nodded slightly at the other party.

The other party's name, unmistakable, was Kyoyoshi Miyama.

Is a student of a nearby school.

Haruyuki Miko crossed the approach again.She walked into the dense jungle and returned to the ancient shrine.Her friend Qingzi Tianshangyuan is complaining about why there are so many fallen leaves this autumn, and they can never be swept away.

"It won't work if you don't clean it."

"It could easily cause a fire."

Miko Kiyoko of Tenshangin nodded her head in a serious manner.

"By the way, Kannazuki is coming, what does your family say?"

"My family has nothing to say," Haruyuki Miko replied.

Kiyoko said: "I may not be in the shrine this time. As for the reason - keep it secret."

Haruyuki Miko had an indifferent expression.

Kannazuki's day is coming soon.Kannazuki is the name of the old October, and Shinto personnel believe that on this day, the gods basically leave their habitats and go to the Izumo of Kamizumo to discuss with Amaterasu for a year.

Haruyuki Miko was reading a book in the backyard.Books are used to adjust time.Parents said that they would send her to study when she was old.While that would be humiliating (an adult in the middle of a group of kids), it's better than not being able to read.

There are especially many leaves in autumn, and there are also many golden yellow leaves scattered by the autumn wind.Miko Haruyuki said that Kiyoko would be mad with anger when she came back.She especially hated the leaves that made the ground dirty.However, before she came back, Haruyuki Miko decided to help him clean it up.

Who made her a kind person?

The autumn wind is gradually approaching winter.Soon they will change into warm clothes... I hope mom and dad don't forget to add clothes for themselves.

Or call back... Haruyuki Miko felt that this was not very solemn, so she should write a letter.

Although it will take several days to arrive, but this way the family will not feel that it is not dignified.

Their minds are full of redemption.

Everyone in the family is like this.

Because the ancestors possessed by the cursed king killed many people, this sin has been passed down for many years.

There was a heavy sound like a tire bursting outside the shrine.

Has anyone's car come in?

This is not allowed.

Miko Haruyuki decided to go out and educate them.

But as soon as she opened the door of the side room, a chilly feeling appeared on her face.Haruyuki Miko felt a sudden heat on her cheek, she reached out to touch it, and felt blood.

The hall outside was pitch black.Why not light a candle?This way, you can't see anything.

Haruyuki Miko fumbled to light a candle, and the electric lights were about to be installed here.But in her parents' opinion, it was not very dignified.

solemn.One has to be in awe of the old.

But what exactly do you see when you turn on the light?

Haruyuki Miko felt that she would not be able to answer for a while.

The red liquid that has not even solidified is flowing on the ground.The faces of familiar people are so horrifying and terrified, their limbs and torso are lying on the ground in pieces.

A mysterious and mysterious breath surrounded her, as if a ghost was blowing on the back of her neck.

Creepy breath.

Haruyuki Miko raised her head tremblingly, and a pale face of an ancient princely beauty made only by countless coats of white powder was facing her.The other party has a tumbler-like figure and is wearing a gorgeous Shi Twelve single-clothes.That beauty, that thing, was smiling over her black teeth with her wide sleeves.

In the darkness, Haruyuki Miko heard a man's voice.

"Kill her, before turning into Yuzao."

In the next second, Haruyuki Miko felt that her leg was broken.

She was going to die at that time, but someone appeared here.It was a young man in an old-fashioned suit (the clothes were full of large patterns), a black top hat, and a medical kit.The other party's hair was short black curly hair, and his eyes were dark red like plum blossoms.

Amidst the blood and flesh all over the ground, he said to the man who gave the command before: "Go to death."

Then all sound disappeared.

Miko Xiharuyuki's legs were still bleeding.

The man who appeared to be a doctor stepped over many corpses and came to the side of the priestess.

"Live."

These were the last words the Miko heard before fainting.

The name of the doctor, the kind doctor, the name of the powerful doctor, is Shikiya Masae.

……

Xi Jianzi pulled out from the memory of the past.

"What else do you have?" She said to the empty sky, and she was also talking to Xuehua Qijing.The face of the doll girl turned into the sky, and the distorted sky covered the sky.

"Why won't you be devoured by me?" These words echoed infinitely, as if there were walls all around.

Xi Jianzi looked at the face that was originally cute, but now enlarged to look extremely terrifying.

"Because you are weaker than me."

It was like she said to Tong Mo, "Go to hell with the scum".

Xuehua Qijing's face was distorted and angry, the anger of this puppet girl who claimed to be the closest to perfection ignited this piece of spiritual world belonging to Shi Jianzi.

The master's eyes are cold and heavy, like a knife made of iron and stone.
