Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

As expected, Xie Huamei had achieved some success in mimicry when she was a ghost. In a few days, she was able to completely hide the ghostly aura that she had because she lived with the prostitute Taro, and she walked quietly. A few times even approached me quietly without being noticed by me.I asked her where the secret was, and she proudly told me that it was because she had always been an oiran when she was lurking in Yoshiwara, and she had specially practiced the light and silent gait like a cat for this reason.

It seems that this girl is just young and straightforward, not really stupid.I feel a little sorry, if she hadn't encountered such a tragedy when she was alive, maybe she could really become a beautiful and charming oiran when she grows up, and live a good life with food, clothes and clothes with her brother.It seems that those who become ghosts are not all out of some inexplicable reasons like Tong Mo, and there are also tragedies like Xie Hua brothers and sisters who are forced by life and death and have no choice.

But she still hasn't figured out how to hide among the trees, so I always catch her.

"It's not fair!" Xiaomei protested after being caught by me for the fifth time that day, "I didn't see how you got here at all! I can't learn like this!"

"The key to the technique is that you need to imagine that you are part of this forest." I explained, "Calm your mind and don't be so impatient. Even if this is an endless hell, in the final analysis, it is an illusion formed by the minds of sinners. The rule here is that the more you are obsessed with something, the easier it is to encounter what kind of test, just like you will meet the Balrog before. The obsession of the fallen is gathered here, and the endless struggle continues. In the end, it will return to nothingness, this is the real punishment in Wujianli."

"A ghost is a ghost if you have obsession. You can't become a powerful ghost without obsession. This is what Mr. Wu Mi said." Xiaomei recalled the teachings of her former boss, "Even you have obsession, don't you want to Go find a kid? I don't understand, why are you hanging out with us bastards?"

"Xiaomei," I said seriously, "I have my reasons for walking with you. Don't worry, I will definitely not hurt you and your brother. But I will tell you about myself because I regard Xiaomei as a friend. , I hope no one but the two of us knows, including Tong Mo. Can you do it?"

The prostitute Taro probably said something to her in private, and Xiaomei said impatiently: "That's all right, all right, I don't bother to take care of your business, anyway, I've already said what I need to say. I can't learn your invisibility skills." Yes, I won't play anymore."

"Why don't we change the method." I thought for a while and said, "I'll teach you a unique secret. You close your eyes."

She was full of disdain, but she did it patiently.

"Try to feel it. Is there anything special in my direction? Any feeling is fine."

"Nothing." She frowned, "Wait, is this... a scent?"

"It's great." I praised her, "Xiaomei is really good at winding."

"What's that?" The girl opened her eyes and asked curiously, "It smells like water and some flowers? But you should have hidden your breath."

"For all creatures that have stayed in hell for a long time, the spirit body will slowly ooze out a certain 'essential' smell, which will generally stay where they pass by. Even if the breath is hidden, you can feel it with your heart. If The other party is originally a god, and often has a certain fragrance, but if it is some high-level monster, the smell will be strange, such as the Balrog, sometimes even if you are far away, you can still smell the smell of ashes. You want Learn to capture these subtle changes in the air, because places with smells represent a high level of danger, so you have to bypass them in advance. On the contrary, some spirits who have just arrived in hell have no special smell on their bodies, but that kind of thing instead It's not too dangerous, and you don't know how to restrain your breath and use your spiritual power, you can just hide."

"I understand!" Xiaomei finally became happy, "Because I used to be a ghost, and the ghost's sense of smell is very sensitive, so I can smell the fragrance of God! But I should be a human now, why do I still have this ability? ?”

"I think it's probably because your brother was transformed into a ghost again, and you are in a symbiotic relationship, so you can share his ability to some extent. You can also tell the prostitute Taro about this, so that if you meet different opponents in the future, It can be prepared in advance.”

Unknowingly, we have wandered into a relatively remote area in the forest. There are more and more strange plants here. Some vines shining with blue-purple aura grow on the ground and on the dead tree trunks. A group of purple shimmering vines Creatures like butterfly-tailed butterflies rose and fell among the plants.I have lived in the Karmic Fire Realm for 200 years, and I have never seen such a spectacle, so I was a little stunned for a while.

Xiaomei tugged on my sleeve lightly and said in a low voice, "There is someone."

I raised my head when I heard the sound, first pulled her behind me calmly, and pressed my left hand on the handle of the knife at my waist.

On a path leading deep into the forest, a lavender mist rose on the ground, and a woman stood there.

Perhaps because of the mist, her figure was indistinct, but she could be vaguely seen as a dignified woman in a kimono with her hair in a bun and patterns of plants and flowers on her sleeves.

I frowned, the mist seemed to have a protective effect, making it impossible for me to tell what kind of existence this woman was.But she just stood still, as if she was just a shadow, and she seemed to be looking in our direction.

"Who is your Excellency?" I asked, "We have no malicious intentions, we just entered here by mistake. Seeing you standing there, do you need help? Why don't we all be honest?"

The other party didn't reply, but the fog got thicker, and the next moment, it was as if something was being gently erased, and the figure disappeared.

I felt something was wrong, so I immediately took Xiaomei back the same way. Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any intention of attacking.I didn't feel relieved until I ran to the edge of the forest.

"Tomorrow we will train in another place, farther away from that direction." I said to Xiaomei.

"Master Shenming is so timid?" Xiaomei said nonchalantly, "It's just a woman, it might be a human being? Anyway, I can't feel the breath of ghosts at all."

"Not necessarily. If it's just a human spirit, it doesn't have the ability to use fog to hide itself. And the other party is quite cautious. In this place, those who know how to hide themselves will not be simple existences. In short, it is better to be careful."

Just after walking out of the forest, I saw Tong Mo standing not far away with a happy face, waving the fan in his hand towards us exaggeratedly.

"Xiao Ran~Xiao Luo Ji~Come and see what interesting things we found~"

We walked along the road in the forest on the other side for a long time until we entered a valley.Gradually, I noticed that the environment here had changed, more shrubs appeared, and the trees became taller. There were many white vines coiled on the leafless branches, and feathery pale flowers and leaves hung down.There is no sun in hell, and creatures basically only rely on the spiritual veins of the Santu River to grow. It may be because of the abundance of water here that specific plants have gradually grown. There was actually a complete formation house in the middle.

My first reaction was that this should be some kind of extremely simulated illusion, just like the previous Temple of Kek Lok.But after some investigation, it was found that there were no abnormal spiritual fluctuations around the house. The house itself seemed to have been vacant for a long time. The ground in the courtyard and the walls of the building were covered with withered vines, as if people had left the house and vacated it for many years. .

But the interior was tidy, even the broken sliding doors were repaired, and even the tatami mats were wiped clean.When I saw the prostitute Taro working hard, I felt the corners of my mouth start to twitch again.

Tong Mo walked in slowly shaking his fan, I went over and grabbed him and left.

I didn't let him go until I got to the yard, and the ghost looked at me innocently.

"Don't Xiaoran like it? We've been cleaning it up for a long time, and even others have tried their best to help."

"Master Tong Mo, what are you doing? Are you planning to settle down in hell?" I really don't know what this ghost is thinking, "This is hell, what is the origin of this house? Is there any activity nearby? The magical beasts or other things? Such a weird place, if it’s just the two of us, it’s fine, do you still plan to let the brother and sister live here? What if there is danger? You haven’t learned the lesson from Kek Lok Si? "

"You don't have to worry about that kind of thing! I've checked everything, and it's just an empty house." Tong Mo sat on the porch with ease, "I still don't know when the 'door' will open , Anyway, waiting is waiting, why do we have to live and sleep all the time? Besides, even if there is a problem, our original purpose is to lure the other party to take the bait, how can we not lay the bait first?"

Alas, what a ghost with strange ideas.

"So do you want to look slack on purpose? You really have it." I walked over and sat next to him. In front of me was a barren courtyard with a pond that seemed to have dried up in the middle. "This is what you used to deal with. The experience gained by the Ghost Killing Squad?”

"Being a ghost is not only about dealing with the ghost killing team, humans are the best to deal with it." Tong Mo said lazily, "Ghosts are existences that are always fighting and devouring each other. I didn't wind up at the beginning, and I'm not like Black Death. Mr. Mou or Your Excellency Yiwozuo are proficient in martial arts since human beings. No matter foraging for food or grabbing territory, they all need to use their brains~ Fortunately, there is a church under my name. There are always believers who are willing to go to Bliss Hungry, hehe."

"Sounds like a pack of wolves, or some other group of animals." I said, "Your Lord Wuyou is really weird. Doesn't he care about anything else except bestowing ghost blood?"

"Hey, how can you say that about Mr. Wu Mi?" Tong Mo covered his face with a fan and laughed, "He is a very strict person, and he basically clears out useless subordinates every time he holds a meeting. There were times when he was in a bad mood, and almost eliminated all the lower strings. Ah, that time was so miserable that I can’t look back, and the workload increased so much~ I often went to work when I couldn’t finish my meal~”

"Your Majesty Tong Mo is also a very powerful person." I couldn't help smiling when I looked at the boneless ghost, "It seems that no matter how tragic or terrifying things are, if you say them, they will all come out of your mouth." It's been really funny, it's really fun to be with you."

"Of course, he is a gentle and kind person, so he is quite popular in Shangxian." Oni said triumphantly, "So Xiaoran must feel very happy to meet me~"

"That's right, I'm quite happy." I jumped off the verandah, "As a reward, I'll also contribute a little to Lord Tong Mo's new house."

I walked into the courtyard, clasped my hands together, and the swirling blue-blue aura floated in midair.

This spell has been useless for hundreds of years, and I don't know if it still works?

"Mosasaur, everything revives."

It was as if a layer of aura of water curtain slowly descended from the sky onto the dry ground, causing multiple ripples in an instant.The roots of the dead plants began to emit water vapor, the pond overflowed with clear water, the ground turned green, and the new shoots began to grow rapidly, crackling and pulling out slender branches, and flower buds burst out in an instant, and they grew in a short time. It became all kinds of exotic flowers and plants that have never been seen before, like a gleaming brocade painted with spring in the gray space.Although it looks a little messy, it is already a decent garden.

"Huh. Looks okay, I haven't forgotten my old job." I clapped my hands, "It's just that there are no seeds, so you can't grow the lotus you like, so you can just put some ice lotus in the pond."

There was silence behind him.When I turned around, I saw that ghost's face was dazed, and even those glass-colored eyes were wide open.

"Are you okay?" I held out my hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

Tong Mo took a breath, his cheeks turned slightly red.

Uh, seeing him like this for the first time, did this cause any strange reaction?

"Wow, what is this...Xiao Ran?" His tone was a little strange, as if he didn't know which emotion to choose.

"Eh? I haven't shown you before? No wonder, because there is no water in Karma Realm, so I haven't used it for many years." I went back to the verandah and sat down, "I am the water god of Arakawa, but I am also the forest and vegetation. God, this is my additional skill. It is not very useful in the human world, because the four seasons in Edo are very distinct, and the nearby plants do not need me to worry about. It is also because the power of the water in this place is sufficient for my life. call, so it is still possible to send you a garden."

"Is this for me? Xiaoran gave it to me?" Ghost pointed at himself in surprise.

"That's right, it's for Master Tong Mo. We've known each other for so long, I haven't given you a gift yet, I really don't have anything I can give you." I laughed, "Besides, Master Tong Mo hasn't seen any good things. Ever? What I made with this little trick, how can your lotus pond of Kek Le Temple..."

"I like it very much."

All of a sudden, in Tong Mo's silent eyes, like ice crystals, there was a kind of gleam that I had never seen before.At that moment, he didn't smile, nor did he show any expression, but that kind of light seemed to penetrate something thick and unchanged for a hundred years.

"Xiaoran's gift, I like it very much." He repeated it again, as if trying to understand something, "It should be the feeling of 'like', right? My heart seems to be beating faster!"

A big smile slowly appeared on his face.

"To receive a gift in hell, going to hell is really great!" The ghost's tone was full of excitement, "hey, Xiaoran, do you want to just live in hell with me? This seems not bad ah!"

...As expected of you, you have a brain circuit like a god!

"You can't stop here, Mr. Tong Mo." I said seriously, "I said that there are still many beautiful scenery in the world, so don't be lazy. You have to keep walking to see more beautiful scenery than this. .”

"If you don't be lazy, does Xiaoran have any rewards for others?" Tong Mo smiled like a thousand-year-old fox, his eyes narrowed into two crescent moons, "Tell me, if you can make others interested, then I will satisfy you." wish~"

"Eh?" I reacted, "No, I'm helping you as a friend, why should I give you a reward? Can you be reasonable, Mr. Tong Mo?"

He looked pure and innocent: "When did you hear that ghosts can reason? Think about it quickly, they won't go with you if there is no reward~"

"..."

I thought about it silently, the only property I have left is probably a dilapidated shrine.

For the first time in my life, I felt like a poor god.

Rewards or something is really a problem.
