Yokohama singer is also working hard to remove the curse today

Time goes back to yesterday.

...

When Xuetuan chose to appear in front of Zhongye Zhongyuan, he was ready to disappear.

He didn't know much about the existence of the magician.The only cognition is obtained from the few words of others, saying that it is very similar to the "Onmyoji" or "Demon Exorcist" in the past. For them, the curse spirit is an absolutely evil existence, and once they find it, they will not hesitate of elimination.

Just when he closed his eyes and expressed his thoughts like last words, the curse in the air suddenly became much heavier, and different breaths came from all directions.

Xue Tuan opened his eyes suddenly, panic appeared on his calm face.

"Do not--"

It's a pity that he was still a step late in stopping him. Under Zhongyuan Zhongye's surprised eyes, dense numbers of curse spirits appeared in his field of vision one after another, and they blocked Xue Tuan one after another, carefully watching Zhongyuan Zhong in front of him. also.

"This is…"

He could feel that the strength of these spell spirits was uneven, some were as strong as Xue Tuan, some were weaker, and some had reached the strength of a first-level spell spirit.

Zhongyuan Zhongye even felt the aura of super-level curse spirits in it. However, this place is just a frontier town.There is no intrigue, no grievances between the magician and the magic spirit, just a clean and extremely peaceful town.

There are very few conjurers who can compete with super-level conjurers, and there are not even traces of conjurers here.Judging from the disgust value of the curse spirits towards human beings, it is considered very lucky that the town does not turn into a sea of ​​blood, but the curse spirits in front of them have lived in harmony with those humans for a long time.

Every day, dozens of hundreds of people shuttled back and forth in the forest, but such a huge number of cursed spirits and curses never harmed them at all.

Can such an existence really be called purely by the name of "curse spirit" with a hateful color?

No, there is another kind of existence - the concept called "demon" that Osamu Dazai mentioned to him before.

"Are you... demons?" Zhong Yuan asked.

"...I haven't heard this name for a long time." A deep and deep male voice sounded from the forest, and the gathered curse spirits spontaneously spread to both sides. In the exposed passage, an old man leaned on a cane and walked slowly towards the middle of the Central Plains. also came over.

He has white hair, a hunchback, and wrinkles on his face, but his eyes are piercing.

The appearance of a human being, but the breath actually belongs to the curse spirit.

"The current onmyoji... oh, they should be called conjurers. They only call us curse spirits, and they almost forget the past titles." The presence."

……

A long time ago, when the gods still existed and the aura had not yet dissipated, there was still a special kind of life in the world: demons.

Just like the composition of curse spirits, demons are often born out of strong emotions, but compared to curse spirits that are purely transformed from curses, demons appear in much richer ways and forms.

Whether you can have personal thinking is the standard for whether Liang Liang becomes a real "monster".A powerful monster can switch between the original body and the monster body at will, and can even simulate the appearance of a human being to survive in the appearance of a human being.

Of course, as described in countless legends and stories, the contradiction between demons and humans is inherent, and because of the rampantness of demons, the profession of onmyoji and demon exorcising once led to the rapid expansion of the profession, especially in the Heianjing period. reached the top.

The top monsters can even rival the gods in combat power.

Everything can be turned into a demon, even human beings.Among them, the most famous one was the two-faced Su Nuo who single-handedly made the entire magic world turbulent.He is also a human being and a demon, with one foot already stepping into the ranks of gods.

At that time, Onmyoji was no longer called Onmyoji, but was renamed Conjurer.That was also the last glory of the magician and the demon. After that, the way of heaven fell, the gods disappeared one after another, and the demon, who was once the overlord, quickly disappeared in the torrent of history.Only the curse spirits that depend on curses and emotions survive, and have been handed down to this day.

Because the interval has been too long, the records of demons are almost only left in myths and legends, even if it is a family of conjurers that has been passed down for a long time, it is rare to find records about demons.After all, demons are the same as gods, and it is impossible to be born again according to common sense. Even if there are remaining materials, they are not of much use.

In the Central Plains, which has lost the memory of the gods, it is also through Osamu Dazai's narration that he knows the existence of this species.

But he didn't expect to see the legendary "demon" that should have disappeared completely in this remote town again.

"Who are you?" Nakahara Chuya asked.

"A long time ago, humans named me 'Asana', and this has been my name ever since."

Asami is the name of this forest and the name of the town a long time ago.

"You are this forest?"

"I used to be just a tree. I have sheltered here for thousands of years, and my body has already merged with the forest." Jianjian said.

"Are you... all demons?"

Qianjian didn't answer directly, but turned around leaning on the crutches, his eyes slowly swept across the faces of each monster, and his tone was full of melancholy and nostalgia: "Although the way of heaven has fallen, the imagination of the people here and the forest The legend has never stopped. Their inadvertent belief has allowed us to survive to this day. I know that we are not qualified to live with human beings as demons... curse spirits, but this forest is our home. Since birth, We have never left here. Even though our identities have been changed again and again, the outside world has been turned upside down, but we have never changed our way of life. The forest has already set up an enchantment, humans will not see us, and we will not appear in the sight of humans We just want to live in this forest well.”

He looked at Chuya Zhongyuan again, his eyes were extremely sincere: "I know, as long as you are willing, even if all our monsters are added together, there is no possibility of resisting it."

"...Then you still want to appear in front of me?"

"Who made Xuetuan our family?" Qian Jian sighed softly, with a smile on his face despite his resignation: "How can there be such a thing as abandoning the family?"

He firmly protected Xue Tuan behind his back: "That child was born not long ago, he just hasn't learned to let go of the fetters and emotions with humans. He has never hurt anyone, and he has never thought of harming anyone .”

Zhongyuan Zhongye: "..."

He didn't speak any more, but fixedly looked at the demon in front of him, taking their fear, worry and determination into his eyes.

The curse spirit in front of him, the demon in front of him, looks like a living human being.

Zhong Yuanzhong also sighed suddenly: "Forget it."

……

After that, he used his power to catalyze the "evolution" of Xuetuan under the horrified eyes of all the monsters. Although the current Xuetuan's strength is still not strong, it can freely switch between human and demon appearances.After transforming into a human form, he chose to transfer into Wudou Tuoren's class as a student without hesitation.

Although I don't know how long this kind of companionship and warmth can last, at least during this time, this small town can still become a Taoyuan town where humans and demons coexist harmoniously.

But he can maintain peace for a while, what about after that?

If another magician came here and found the demon queen hiding in the small town, how would he deal with the relationship between the demon and people?

After all, what is it that defines a life?In this world, only as a human being can we have freedom?

He is not a person who likes to think about philosophical issues, but now he is also suffering from the same problems: about his identity, about his future.

Should he maintain the form of a "human", or accept the identity of a god?

After returning to Huang Ba, is he still "Central Plains Central City"?

Central Plains Zhong also suddenly wanted to know the fate of the town and these monsters.The problems of this small town are exactly the same as his entanglement, as if he can get answers from them as long as he sees the choices of this small town.

Speaking of which, the incident here has been resolved, right?I have already reported to the college, why no one notified me to go back?

On the way back to Yoshino's house, Chuya Nakahara was bored thinking about it.

The gate of Yoshino's house was wide open, and the courtyard was quiet and quiet. It was not like when he came back a few days ago, the couple would stand in the courtyard and say "Welcome back" to him with a smile.

It wasn't until the entrance that one could faintly hear the voice of conversation. Apart from the Yoshino couple, there was also a male voice, whose voice was a little immature, but whose tone of voice was as mature as a 30-year-old man.

Zhong Yuanzhong also couldn't help showing a smile.

Osamu Dazai is here.

As if sensing his presence, Osamu Dazai, who was sitting on the sofa, came back to his senses, waved at Chuya Nakahara and smiled, "Chuya, welcome back."

A simple sentence, I heard the Yoshino couple and the Atobe family say it countless times, but when I heard Osamu Dazai say it, my heart quietly became calm, and the problem that troubled him all day seemed to be no longer a problem. As long as there is Osamu Dazai, all difficulties will be easily solved.

The Yoshino couple have lived for more than 50 years, and they have long been familiar with the world.Seeing the attitudes of the two, they knew that they had something to say. The couple pulled each other and happily went to the kitchen together, leaving the living room for the two to spend alone.

Osamu Dazai opened his arms and gave Chuya Nakahara a big hug without hesitation.

The familiar breath lingered on the tip of the nose again, and the two involuntarily let out an ironic sigh.

"Ah, it's finally fully charged." Osamu Dazai hugged Nakahara and refused to let go: "The Chuya factor in my body is almost empty, Chuya, do you think I have?"

"Dazai."

"Ok?"

"Tell me honestly, is it because of the 'demon' that you left this time?"

Osamu Dazai smiled unchanged: "Yes."

"...What about the school? Did you already know about the existence of the demon and my identity?" Zhongya Zhongyuan asked again.

"...Yes." Osamu Dazai didn't hide anything, and admitted it openly: "Before I left, I told them about it."

"There are demons in this small town, and they know about it?"

"of course."

"I knew it." Zhong Yuan was not surprised, but heaved a sigh of relief: "It was for this purpose that I was allowed to carry out the task alone."

He left Dazai Osamu's arms, looked at the boy in front of him seriously: "Tell me, what is the reason?"
