Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

After walking with the mysterious woman for a while, I saw a purple fog barrier appearing in the forest.She waved her hand, and the mist dispersed to both sides, revealing a simple hut.

Seeing me looking at the purple mist, the woman smiled: "This is a barrier. I live here by myself, and I only go out when gathering herbs, and I don't have as strong a combat power as you, Miss, so there must be some means of protecting oneself."

I understand that.When I lived in the Karmic Fire Realm before, I would use barriers to cover up where I lived, but since I used something similar to barriers, it meant that this woman was by no means an ordinary human being.

After entering the hut, she put the medicine basket on her shoulders at the door and invited us to go in together.This is a hall of less than [-] pings, all made of wood, the interior is well organized, there is a low table by the wall, and there is a row of things like medicine cabinets against the wall.

It seems that the Forest of Necromancers is the most comfortable place among the four great hells. I think, there are actually people who actually settled down here?

I put Xiaomei on the straw mat beside the table, and politely knelt down myself.Xiaomei tugged on my sleeve and said pitifully, "Sister, when can we go back? I'm so scared."

...I can't see it, girl, you are actually an acting school?Did you learn this acting skill from Tong Mo?

"Don't be afraid, it's safe here." The woman rummaged in the medicine cabinet and comforted her gently, "Your leg injury needs to be treated, and you can walk normally after taking the medicine. Your elder sister has been carrying you, right? She is just a young girl."

She retrieved a few things from the medicine cabinet and put them on the table in a tray, and I noticed that there were those bluish-purple leaves of plants we had seen before.The woman crushed a few things in a delicate glass medicine bowl, and said with a smile while doing these things:

"Sorry, there is no tea or anything to entertain you. My name is Zhu Shi, what should I call you?"

"I am Ran. This is my sister Xiaobai." I replied.

"You two seem to be in a good relationship." She sighed softly, "It reminds me of the children who lived with me before."

Why does a woman live alone in the endless hell, and her life is still in the world, as if she is not affected by it at all?I have too many doubts, but I can't say them out, so I can only tentatively say: "My parents passed away early, and my sister and I are the only ones in the family. Please let me ask offensively, since your Excellency is a doctor, you should save countless lives. And why did you come here?"

Her slender fingers grinding the medicine paused slightly, and she slowly replied, "Although I am a doctor, I am also a person who has committed a lot of crimes. I must come here to atone for my sins. But you two look like ordinary girls, why did you come here?" An endless hell where the most heinous people are held?"

I noticed the rosary on her table, it seems that she does recite scriptures and repent every day.So he made up nonsense: "I am ashamed to say that my family is a family of priests. I learned some skills in order to deal with evil things, such as spells and magic circles. It’s just that I was dragged in, and my sister who was my assistant was also implicated, so I have to find a way out no matter what, at least to send my sister back to the world.”

Xiaomei, don't look at me so shocked, you are still far behind in terms of acting skills!Hehehe!

A beautiful woman named Zhu Shi ground the medicinal herbs into powder, mixed some unknown liquid from a glass tube, and mixed it into a dark brown medicinal paste. She carefully covered Xiaomei's wounded body with leaves of some kind of plant. on the legs.

"Okay. You can recover in a while."

Her smile is really gentle, but always with a touch of sadness.

Then she turned to me and said with a kind smile: "I don't think your skill is like a priest, but a swordsman. The posture of swinging a knife is very beautiful!"

"Well, that's true." I said, "My ancestors were warriors who followed the daimyo during the Warring States period, so they combined the killing moves used in the battle formation into the sacrificial dance, and created a unique set of magic-breaking methods. Because there are only girls in my family, my generation had to learn some superficial knowledge and inherit my father's legacy."

"I've heard of this kind of situation too." She nodded, "As a girl, but with the mission of killing ghosts, I also know such an amazing child."

I silently felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't say it. I just felt Xiaomei's hand pinch me hard behind my back.

Damn child, let's see how I deal with you when I go back.

But I want to take a chance.

"Slaying ghosts?" I looked puzzled, "Let me ask, does that kind of thing really exist in the world? Although my family also practices the method of exorcising evil spirits, I have never encountered it!"

Zhu Shi said lightly: "Yes. But now there should be no more. There is a group of the bravest people in the world who killed all the evil spirits, and no one will die under the hands of such filthy existences in the future."

Well, something is really wrong.

Although her tone was flat, it revealed deep hatred.

"That's really a blessing for ordinary people like me." I admired sincerely.

Xiaomei suddenly grabbed my sleeve and said with a smile: "Sister, my leg doesn't hurt at all, can we go back?"

"Eh? Is the medicine so effective?" I said in surprise, "You have to thank Miss Zhushi!"

Xiaomei bit her lip, "Thank you Miss Zhushi."

"You're welcome, Miss Xiaobai is really a beautiful and lovely girl, I like you very much." Zhu Shi smiled and said, "I don't have many friends here, if you two don't dislike the desertedness of my place , you can come as a guest often.”

After a polite farewell, I took Xiaomei on the way home. Zhu Shi's medicine was very effective, and her leg recovered quickly, without even leaving a trace of injury.

It wasn't until after walking a long distance that Xiaomei suddenly said, "I remembered, that woman is a ghost."

"Eh?" I said in amazement, "Wait, I didn't feel that she had the aura of a ghost at all. Besides, since she is a ghost, why did she mention killing ghosts?"

"You don't understand. She is a well-known traitor among ghosts. Master Wuyou has been looking for her for many years, but he has never caught her." Xiaomei said through gritted teeth, "What's the point of killing ghosts... I'm already dead What! I want to tell my brother to go!"

"Since the other party is hostile, let's just be careful." I said, "The killings are all about the past, let's let it go, don't forget that the most important thing for you and your brother is to get out of here, Let's try not to cause trouble. Next time you don't come with me, but there's no need to tell your brother."

"What? Are you still looking for her?" Xiaomei's eyes widened. "You, don't run away with the enemy! We are your friends!"

I was amused by her and couldn't help touching the top of her head.

"Of course I know who my friend is, the cutest Xiaomei. Don't worry, I won't run away."

"Hmph, I don't care about you." She turned her head away from me, "Let me tell you first, if you are caught, my brother and I will not rescue you."

This awkward child!

After returning, I sent Xiaomei back to the prostitute Taro, and slipped back into the house quietly.When entering the house, Tong Mo found a soft cushion out of nowhere, leaning crookedly on the porch and looking at the garden outside.

This ghost was so quiet when he was alone, even showing a bit of coldness.

I tiptoed behind him and wanted to startle him, because suddenly I really wanted to see the look of the all-powerful Master Tong Mo, who was the second in front of me, being startled.

"Xiaoran, you can't." Without turning his head, he said with a smile, "I will treat someone as an enemy and kill them all of a sudden without making a sound."

I was discouraged, and went to the veranda to sit down bored.

"Where did Xiaoran go?" He looked at me with interest, "There is a very strange smell on my body."

I hesitated and said, "I met a woman deep in the woods with Xiaomei today."

He blinked.

"Xiaomei's leg was injured. The woman was a doctor. She said she happened to pass by, so I went to her to get some medicine. Actually, I saw it once before, but she seemed to be able to use a strange mist. That time, she ran away without saying hello. gone."

I said carefully.

"She said...her name is Zhu Shi."

Tong Mo's glazed eyes narrowed like a cat's.

"Hey..."

He seemed to be laughing, and he seemed to be sighing inexplicably, his expression was a bit complicated for a while, but in the end he showed a familiar mean smile.

"That's funny, how lucky we are..." he said.

I wondered, "I don't understand this person, Tong Mo. Xiaomei says she is a ghost, but she looks like she hates ghosts very much. Why is there such a contradictory person?"

Tong Mo still looked at me with a smile, "What do you think of Xiaoran? I want to hear Xiaoran's opinion."

"I guess anyone who harbors hatred should have been robbed of something important by a ghost. But she is a ghost herself..."

"Xiao Ran must have forgotten what I said." The ghost in front of him said indifferently, with a frosty chill in his tone, "A large part of the ghosts who received the blood of Master Wu Mi can't maintain reason, because There are many people who are hungry and eat their relatives on the spot."

——Although the concubine is a doctor, she is also a person who has committed a lot of crimes and must come here to atone for her sins.

I have the creeps.Did such a tragic thing actually happen?

No wonder that woman always has a kind of hatred that seems to be irresolvable.It turns out that not only do you hate the existence of ghosts, but you also hate yourself?

I can only sigh, "It's really... tragic. But I always feel that meeting her twice is a bit of a coincidence, and I don't know what she wants to get? By the way, I told her that I am a human being, and I am a priest. I brought my younger sister here by mistake, and now I am in a hurry to send my younger sister out. She saw me fighting a monster, and said that I am not like a priest, but a swordsman. Only if you have the habit of dancing, you will appear to be proficient in wielding a knife..."

Holding the fan, Tong Mo laughed loudly: "Hehehe...you are indeed Xiaoran! This set of lies is so cute! But I guess, that woman is already suspicious of you."

"Eh?" I was dumbfounded on the spot, "Where is there a loophole in my compilation? Please advise Master Tong Mo!"

"The problem is not your lies." He explained patiently, "It's that ghosts are very sensitive to the smell of the same kind, even more sensitive than the smell of thin blood. After all, you have my blood in your body, As far as I know, the Zhushina woman has been collecting ghost blood to design a poison specifically for ghosts. So she is probably already doubting your identity, and even doubting your relationship with me, but she should not have seen the gods This kind of existence, so the vague breath on your body makes it impossible for her to confirm whether you are a human being or a ghost related to me. So," he spread his hands, "the next time I am asked, Xiaoran will put this Let the lie be more complete."

I looked at him with a complicated expression: "Do you really want me to contact her? But apart from the necessary means to leave here, I don't want to be an enemy to anyone. The enmity between the ghost and the ghost-slayer should be over."

"Xiaoran, you told me that sentence." Tong Mo's eyes were quite calm.

"Hatred is like a poison that can accumulate. Once it is passed down from generation to generation, it will never stop. Although I can't understand this kind of emotion in human beings, Miss Zhushi obviously understands this matter better than us."

"Besides, since someone has helped you, we should give you a gift in return." The ghost raised the corner of his mouth, showing the cold light on his fangs, "but Xiaoran must remember, no matter when, any gift she gives you Don't eat or touch anything."

For the first time I heard seriousness in his tone.

"Okay, Master Tong Mo." I smiled and said, "Then I will be your priest and also your choir, and I will meet Miss Zhu Shi for a while."
