A guide to self-rescue for animals in hell

It takes a considerable amount of time to go from Zhonghe Hell to Santu River.

Neither Qingzi nor Xia Youjie was the kind of impatient person, but Qingzi seemed to have something on her mind, so she hardly said anything along the way.

Seeing that he has entered the place that can be regarded as the boundary of Santu River, the ground under his feet has changed from a dark red-black color to a bright orange-red color.

The sparse trees that pass along the road have only bare branches.But the overall color is still much brighter, and there are still the voices of children talking and laughing not far away.

During this time, Xia Youjie came down to read a lot of books about hell. He knew that this place is Saiheyuan, located along the Santu River. The children here are also sinners. Their sin is the sin of premature death that makes their parents sad. .

After a while, they were already close to Saiheyuan's position. Haruko stood behind a bush that could cover her by half, and looked at the laughing children there with rather complicated eyes.

"What's the matter?" Xia Youjie asked, tilting her head. At this time, Qingzi looked as if she had encountered some difficult problem, her brows were tightly frowned, her eyes were lowered, and she looked at the ground almost out of focus.

She grabbed the end of her hair and twirled it unconsciously for a while, before saying slowly, "I was staying here before I met Mr. Ghost Lantern."

If Haruko's identity was really the same as those rebellious children who were laughing and playing, and she was born of a child who died in this world, then she wouldn't need to be so distressed now.

Xia Youjie leaned against the tree trunk on the other side, spread out with one hand, motioning for her to continue.

Originally, Haruko was thinking about how much she would need to be exposed to if she brought Gojo Satoru to Hell on the 25th. After ticking off each of the plans in her heart, she was confused about her own life experience. Difficulty.

She has a rough idea of ​​her own background.But if you want to understand thoroughly, it's not to that extent.

"The aura on her body makes me a little concerned." The counterfeit's words that day unconsciously climbed into her heart. Haruko hadn't realized it before. Why did the counterfeit say that she should be on the side of the curse spirit, and is more suitable for the curse spirit? While talking like this.

But now, thinking about her life experience again, she thought that what the fake "Xia Youjie" said that day might not be just a random word.

Having come to her own conclusion, Haruko organized her words roughly: "Well, maybe it's because I discovered that I can actually be regarded as a curse spirit?"

"Huh?" Xia Youjie frowned, almost writing the word question on his face, "If you are, it's impossible that so many people can't see it. What's more, the six eyes of enlightenment It’s not that you can’t see the identity of your curse spirit.”

He raised his doubts, but Haruko nodded affirmatively: "Well, so I said, it can be regarded as a more rigorous wording for the current situation."

This is a bit interesting, Xia Youjie blinked, keeping this in mind.

Although he has been with Qingzi for a long time, he has a certain understanding of hell.But he still didn't know anything about Haruko's background.

After thinking about this matter, Haruko's mood suddenly became much easier.However, seriously speaking, her life experience is indeed quite unique, and I don't know what Gojo Satoru will think about it.

She reached out to push the bushes away, and the rustling movement attracted the children's attention. One of the little girls turned her head and saw Qingzi's figure, and shouted in surprise: "It's Miss Qingzi!"

Immediately, the entire Saiheyuan, which was originally small, became silent in an instant, and even the bushes did not move. Everyone's movements seemed to be frozen there by some wonderful immobilization magic.

Three seconds later, the wooden toys scattered on the ground were rearranged, those who fumbled their sleeves pushed up their sleeves, those who curled up their collars tidied up their collars, and even the sleepy children on the ground were driven away in an instant Worm, everyone looked radiant.

A little boy with a rope tied around his head in a dignified manner, with two feathers tied crookedly on the rope, stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Haruko: "Boss, you are back. Don't worry, During the time you left here, I managed this place well."

Qingzi just leaned over slightly, rubbed the little boy's head in a decent manner, and praised a few words in a warm voice, and saw Xia Youjie's delicate gaze focused on her as if with warmth, that gaze was too penetrating Haruko almost had the illusion of being burned.

Naturally, she would not be ignorant of what he meant, so she couldn't help but touch her forehead: "It's not what you think."

"Although the label of kindergarten bully sounds strange, it wouldn't be so offensive to Haruko."

Xia Youjie knew that there must be some inside story that he didn't know, but it was too rare to catch the opportunity to tease Qingzi, so he took advantage of the opportunity to say that.

Haruko earnestly asked her to be obedient, end her punishment as soon as possible, and go to reincarnation as soon as possible, but she was blocked by the seemingly perfunctory answer of "I know, I know." He didn't care, just smiled and said goodbye to the children.

"I won't play with you today. I still have things to do. See you next time." Qingzi waved her hand and continued to walk away while pulling Xia Youjie.

This time, the expression on her face became much clearer, and even the bright colors of Santuchuan could only be reduced to a foil.

When she opened the door and arrived home, Qingzi rushed into her room without doing anything and slept for two or three hours. When she got up, she found Xia Youjie again in the study.

"Good afternoon..." Xia Youjie took a sip from his cup of tea. He was currently reading a book about the history of hell, flipping it quickly in his hand.

"Good afternoon..." Haruko rubbed her messy hair with a headache. Every time she thought about such exhausting things for a long time, she would easily fall into a state of sleepiness and lack of sleep.

But the quality of the rest this time is still high, and Haruko has almost returned to her usual state.

After she said hello, she leaned on the door frame and was about to turn out again. The voice was still in the study, but the person had already walked out: "I went to Mr. Ghost Lantern to help with some work. Jie, you have to take care of your home."

Sure enough, this person hasn't woken up yet, Xia Youjie looked at the closed wall speechlessly, as if he could see the figure of a girl walking down the stairs holding on to the handrail.

"Master Ghost Lantern, this is a written report on changing the punishments of those two people." Haruko sat down and scribbled for a long time, and finally came out with such a paper report.

She has been writing since she arrived at her home by the Santu River, and until now, her mind is filled with drowsy words, and she has almost no time for other things.

"Well, yes." Gui Deng took it and browsed it carefully, and stamped the official seal of approval.

Just as Qingzi stretched out her hand, wanting to help organize the written documents on the desktop as before, she suddenly paused with her fingertips - she remembered what she had said to Xia Youjie before going out.

"Jie, you have to take good care of your home."

She was obviously not awake at that time, and she knew vaguely that it was Xia Youjie, but she didn't know what his "true identity" was to her.

It may also be because of staying in Saiheyuan for a while during the day that he regarded Xia Youjie as a child living together.

Sure enough, it was because of overthinking during the day?Haruko raised her hand and gently rubbed her forehead. She subconsciously looked at the calendar on Ghost Lamp's desk. It was already August 8th, and there were only ten days left before the agreed date.

For now, there is plenty of time, enough time for her to carefully select the parts to be revealed.

This feeling is really strange, like a little hedgehog turned sideways, hesitating whether to open his belly to bask in the sun, but also worried that if the belly is completely exposed, there is no way to approach someone with malicious intent. Protect yourself for a while.

Haruko put the last official document into the storage box at the side, and the thank you that the ghost lamp never came down rang in her ears again.

It was already late at night, and for the busy hell social animals, most of the time it was when to finish the work of the day and when to go to bed after get off work.

Therefore, Haruko and Guideng have long been used to this kind of routine.Even, generally speaking, such work routines often continue until later.

"Master Ghost Lamp." Haruko brought over the official documents she helped to review, and Ghost Lamp quickly picked up a copy and flipped through it to see if there were any mistakes in it.

"I think, not only part of the origin from hell, I also want to tell him about my origin." Haruko didn't name the person, but she knew that Ghost Lantern understood who she was talking about.

"Have you made up your mind?" Gui Deng threw the last official document into the big box that had been read, and stared at Haruko with calm eyes.

Intimidated by such eyes, Haruko's originally shaky mind calmed down inexplicably.

She nodded.

"Even if you are a very good friend, you don't necessarily have to confess everything to each other. If Haruko wants my advice, then my suggestion is to wait a little longer, and the answer will naturally come on the 25th." Ghost Lantern He looked at the girl in front of him whose face was [-] to [-]% similar to his own.

He thought of some things in the past, and his voice slowed down a lot following this thought: "No matter what Haruko's decision is at that time, as an enlightened guardian, I will support Haruko as much as possible within a reasonable range decision."

"Thank you Ghost Lantern." Haruko bowed slightly and thanked earnestly.

Another three days passed after this kind of ordinary work routine, and the time pointed to August 8th. On the other side of Zhonghe Hell, Axiang sent the news that the torture of the two high-level officials had been completed.

However, Haruko looked at the calendar hanging on the wall of the study at home.

The exchange meeting between sister schools in Tokyo and Kyoto seems to be these few days.
