Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

I let out a breath, and found that Tong Mo was also looking around at the decorations in the house, so I couldn't help but say:

"Do you... have anything to say?"

Tong Mo glanced at me, and held up the teacup with a half-smile: "What does Xiao Ran want to hear?"

I was at a loss for words.As for his past, I really have no right to inquire about it. After all, we are just a cooperative relationship formed under extreme conditions. It is not easy to get together and break up well.Knowing more about other people's private affairs is less conducive to maintaining sobriety and sanity in the relationship.

"As you can see, I grew up in the Bliss Sect as the Son of God and the leader of the sect."

He actually spoke, but his tone lost the warmth just now and became flat and indifferent.

"This is the position my stupid parents arranged for me because of my special hair color and eyes. The whole church is set up around me. You just saw them too. They are a group of very stupid humans."

"Every day they would cry to me about their family's bankruptcy, lack of money to buy medicine, beatings, and how desperate they were to live, and then ask me to guide them to get rid of their troubles and go to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss."

"Since I can remember, it's been like this everyday. So there's nothing to say."

I drank the tea in the cup, which was full of the bitter taste of lotus seeds.

"I thought you were born a ghost."

Hearing this, he smiled, and returned to his previous unscrupulous face: "Xiaoran is so cute and silly. There is no natural ghost, even Mr. Wu Mi became a ghost under the influence of drugs, other ghosts I accepted the transformation of his blood. I was about 20 years old when I met him, ah, I thought he was really a beautiful and interesting person at that time."

"Why did you choose to become a ghost?"

Seeing that he was about to fall into infinite admiration for his former boss again, I had to interrupt him loudly.

Tong Mo looked at me with some surprise.

"This is the first time someone asks me such a question." The fan in his hand was tapping on the low table one after another, "What's wrong with being a ghost? Now, Xiaoran, you also admit that I did it as a ghost." Great, right?"

Great, made it to hell, of course it was great.

It's childish.You'll never understand his way of thinking outside the box.

"It's not that it's bad to be a ghost." I thought for a while, and added: "It's because I see that you get along well with humans. Wouldn't it be weird if you wanted to eat them?"

"Ghosts are all cannibals." Tong Mo covered his face with a fan, looking out of breath with a smile, "Humans also want to eat meat. Speaking of which, Xiao Qinye used to say that my face was too pale. Pale, I need to eat more meat to supplement my nutrition, so I often cook broth for me." He seemed to recall some extremely funny past, "Hey, it tastes like muddy water, but it still pretends to be delicious, It's quite a headache..."

I couldn't help laughing, thinking of his crying expression when I forced him to eat safflower crystals for the first time.It is too cruel to abuse a foodie who needs to output high-power vampire skills from time to time.

"That girl is nice, she looks very good at taking care of people."

"That's right, isn't it cute?" Tong Mo said with a smile, "When I saw her for the first time, she couldn't see her face when she was beaten, and she was almost blind in one eye, but her arms But the child was wrapped tightly and unharmed, and it was winter, and she ran out barefoot." There seemed to be a trace of nostalgia in his tone, "I found out later that she is beautiful and kind. She is understanding, and she sings very well, so I left her to live in the church with her child. Her child is also very cute, and she looks very similar to her."

"Yeah," I smiled, "so sometimes I wonder, why can't we live in peace with humans?"

Tong Mo looked like he was about to spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Haha... Xiaoran, you..."

He pointed his fan at me, and the flowers trembled wildly when he laughed.

"Although I can't understand why you have such an innocent and cute idea, human children will not say such things after the age of five!"

"No, this has nothing to do with humans."

I looked at the night outside the corridor.The lights outside have dimmed, and the silence has returned, and the night seems to be deep.The stars hang down like a pair of eyes without happiness or sadness.

"Tong Mo, have you ever thought about why no matter whether it is ghosts or gods, they have not been able to completely wipe out human beings for thousands of years?"

"Huh? Interesting question." The ghost restrained his expression, thought for a while, and replied, "Because they are extremely weak, they are very united? To be honest, it is really troublesome when they entangle you."

"Yes, but not entirely for that reason. Another reason is that human beings are constantly evolving. One generation is very weak and stupid, and the next may be the same, but what about the next generation? What about the next generation? This generation may There is nothing they can do about ghosts, but after 50 years, their descendants may have learned to use knives, and in another 100 years, they will have learned to use guns, poison, and various breathing methods..."

I turned my head and looked at him: "Ghosts and gods are existences frozen in time. We are too satisfied with our long life, so we ignore the possibility of evolution."

Tong Mo stared at me intently, no emotion could be seen in his glazed eyes.

"Master Wu Mi also mentioned what you said." He propped his chin with a fan, and said thoughtfully, "He hopes that one day ghosts can walk in the sun, ah, what a great ideal... Although until now He died and failed to achieve it. He spent hundreds of years studying the small things of human beings, medicines, instruments, and even dissected their bodies for research. But it was useless, the blue Bana flower did not exist at all."

"The ghost king is only concerned about his own life, not the life and death of his fellow race. After all, in his view, you are all tools." I pointed this out bluntly, "There is nothing wrong with this, survival is the first priority of all life." Instinct, but as a king, it is too narrow. If my guess is correct, you will all lose in his short-sightedness in the end?"

Tong Mo smiled noncommittally: "Ah, it's true...he doesn't allow Shangxian to cooperate with each other and share important information, and he can only report everything to him, and even assign tasks separately. So..." He pretended to sigh, "It's expected to lose, what a pity."

"If the ghost king diverted his energy a little bit from finding that flower, he would have found that there should be many other ways in the world to keep the ghost clan alive. In contrast, human beings have sophisticated organizations and teams. cooperation, the will to pass down from generation to generation, and the constantly evolving skills. Stagnant in one's own obsession, only clinging to the idea that absolute power can suppress everything, sooner or later it will go to destruction."

"But there's no way around it. It's instinct for ghosts to eat people. We've already kept a low profile." Tong Mo's face was full of grievances, "I usually go to Yuguo and the banks of the Rashomon River where no one cares. I am already very cautious when looking for food, and I often don’t even have enough to eat.”

Ah, with your appetite, it's normal to not be full.

I silently gave birth to a trace of sympathy.

"Besides, human beings, even the pillars of the Demon Slayer Team, are too weak. Who hasn't eaten a dozen or twenty pillars? Although I only love nutritious and cute girls, the taste of the pillars is also good. Yo." The evil spirit licked its fangs innocently and cruelly, "So why should I think about the idea of ​​food?"

I shook my head: "This has nothing to do with strength, but with the deadliest of human emotions, and that is hatred."

"The vigilance and hatred for aliens, like their love for their families, is deeply engraved in their blood. Even if they are wiped out by beings much stronger than themselves, they will do whatever it takes, even if they burn their own lives. To be with you forever. Hatred is like a poison that can accumulate, and once passed down from generation to generation, it will keep you forever."

I looked at him and said seriously: "Even ants, as long as there are enough, can kill poisonous snakes. Ghosts cannot survive in this world where humans are the majority without cutting off the chain of hatred. Master Mi is dead, I hope all the hatred can disappear with him."

"..."

The ghost suddenly fell silent.I looked up at him and found two lines of tears flowing from those big colorful eyes.

???

"So it's like this... Is that feeling in Xiaoren's body originally hatred? Does Xiaoren hate me?" Tong rubbed away his tears, his face was full of happiness, "What a strong feeling, it can make you A little girl burst out with such great power! I'm really, really happy to be killed by a girl like that..."

...It's okay, I'm used to it, it's childish.

"Ah, I remembered, a girl seemed to have said something like 'I want to live in peace with ghosts' before."

The ghost raised the corner of his mouth playfully, "It's Xiaoren's sister, the girl who uses Breath of Flowers is also very cute, she played with me all night, even if her broken rib stuck into her lung, she couldn't breathe normally Yes, and insist on fighting."

"Ah... At that time, I just thought it was ridiculous. I didn't even use the vampire technique to crush her bones. A human being who was as fragile as a piece of paper, but said something about living in peace with ghosts, died in the end."

He tilted his head and looked at me, "But if you say the same thing, Xiaoran, maybe I will really think about it? After all, Xiaoran is not weak, and she is also very cute."

This time it was my turn to almost spit out the tea.

"Hey, you should stop using the word cute to describe me. It sounds like a word used to describe food."

"Ah?" Tong Mo blinked in bewilderment, "I thought you had the consciousness of being eaten by me long ago, after all, I don't care about gods or anything, and it smells even better than thin blood , why not try it?"

"I'm just a demigod." I walked around him with a teacup, walked to the porch and sat down against a pillar.There are patches of water lilies in the pond there, but because it is night, the petals are closed, and only a burst of sweet fragrance comes from the night wind.

The starlight all fell to the bottom of the water, floating and sinking under the ripples.

"And the soul is not complete, it should be something done by the onmyoji at that time." I sighed, "Probably because I ate too many children in my early years, so there should be no hope of becoming a real god, maybe closer to humans I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"Where did Xiaoran think, as the son of God, how could he be disappointed with his followers?"

Tong Mo said with a smile, and followed me to sit beside me.The two of them stared at the stars in the sky for a while, maybe this journey was really too hard to fight, and the scene in front of them was too relaxing, I actually felt drowsy.

The nursery rhyme in the dream echoed in my mind.

"Last night's fireflies,

Where are you flying to?

become stars in the sky,

Become a flower in the mountains. "

I hum along softly,

"The stars have no eyes,

flowers can't talk,

Firefly, firefly,

Fly away quickly. "

"It's a very strange song." The ghost next to me suddenly interrupted me, "Did Xiaoran learn it new? It seems that I haven't heard you sing it before."

"Ah, this is it."

I held out my left hand to him.On the wrist, there is a white ribbon tied with a silver bell.

"After Soul Hunter disappeared, it suddenly appeared in my hand. After we fell into the blood pool, I was unconscious for a while, and I heard this song."

Tong Mo squeezed it to look at it, and said firmly, "It's the exorcism bell."

"Huh?" I hurriedly lifted it up and took a closer look. There were some complicated lines engraved on the surface of the bell, which looked like petals of some kind of flower, but it seemed that because of the age and being rubbed by people from time to time, the lines of the seal carving had long been blurred. clear.

I shook my wrist, "How is it possible? It won't ring!" Then I deliberately shook it in front of his eyes, "It's a lie, it won't ring in front of you."

"Some are silent, and amulets and the like will be placed inside." Tong Mo explained patiently, "It's something that children only wear. I've seen children of believers wear it."

"Children..." I thought of the back of the girl in my dream, and suddenly felt drowsy again.

"If it's a child... Maybe it's Xiaobai's stuff..."

"Who is Xiaobai?" The ghost's voice echoed softly in my mind, and the hypnotic effect became even better.

"Xiaobai is... ah... a very important person to me..." I leaned against the pillar and closed my eyes, "I'm so sleepy, I need to sleep...you go back first..."
