Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

It was the first time I stepped into the mansion of the lord named "Sanyashiki". I was in the courtyard when I met with him earlier, so I didn't feel the mystery of the house itself.After following Zhu Shi along the long corridor, I realized that the mansion is basically surrounded by various spells. These spells are not so much for protection as for suppressing something. The closer it is to the center of the room, the more uncomfortable that substantive sense of oppression becomes.

But Zhu Shi and the few team members wearing white feather weaves met on the road were all calm and composed. I don’t know if I’m used to this weird, vacuum-like environment, or I’m the only one who is particularly sensitive to the spiritual force field.

"Here it is, Miss Ran, please come in." Zhu Shi bowed his head and opened a paper door painted with wisteria flowers.

Behind the paper door is a spacious and bright hall, but it makes me feel cold all over.

If my perception is correct, there are thousands of undead gathered underground in this hall, or in other words, they no longer exist as individuals, but have formed something like a "lake", like Like the Santu River, it spread its own veins in all directions.It may be because of the spell that this "lake" is not active, but this kind of behavior, which is equivalent to installing an explosives magazine under the living room of my own home, still makes me feel bad for this seemingly gentle and weak protagonist. a deep chill.

I used to think that only ghosts like Tong Mo who lacked humanity had no regard for life and death.But this protagonist should be a pure human being, and he doesn't look very old. What kind of heart does he have, so that he can be so indifferent to the life and death of himself and others?

"My lord, good luck and well-being." I knelt on the ground, aligned my fingertips, and performed a female-only prostration.

"Miss Ran, you're welcome." The young lord laughed, "You are a guest, so you don't have to salute me like those children. Besides, I invited you here today because you and your sister have been here for a long time. I am really ashamed that I have not fulfilled my friendship with the landlord. Although this is a bit abrupt, please treat this place as your own home, and you can do whatever you want."

He pointed to the low table beside him, on which tea and fruit were already arranged.I walked over to the low table and sat down.

"I heard from Miss Zhushi about you." My lord smiled and said, "Miss Ran is a descendant of the priest family? It just so happens that the Ubuyashiki clan has been married to the priest family in Beijing, maybe our ancestors are familiar with it."

"Ah, my family's shrine has long been in decline and has no reputation." I considered the words, "The ancestors of my family were offshoots of the Yagyu family in Edo Castle. They retired because they were tired of the war. They established the Arakawa Shrine with the favor of the shogun. To worship the water god of Arakawa."

"Miss Ran is actually a descendant of the famous swordsman Yanagyu Sanyan?" The lord's face showed surprise, "No wonder you use the etiquette of the samurai family! I heard from Miss Zhushi that your swordsmanship is also very good ? Is there an inheritance in the family?"

Maybe it's a legacy?If you eat Yagyu-sama's family, it counts.

"It's just a side branch, and I didn't get any real inheritance. But my father did teach me to practice swordsmanship when he was alive. The world is not peaceful, and there are only two girls in my generation, me and my sister, just for self-protection."

"Miss Ran is really too modest." The lord said gently, "I saw you and Zaoyun's exchange of ideas through the spell. To be able to use such a proficient swordsmanship to compete with Leizhu must have been strictly trained! It is really admirable!"

Are you spying on me?

"That's Zaoyun letting me in." I smiled, "He's a very good person."

"Zaoyun is indeed an excellent child. It seems that you get along very well, and I am very pleased." The lord said, "I wonder if he told you about the origin of the Ghost Slayer Squad?"

"I've talked about it a little bit." I nodded, "You are all people who have blood feuds with ghosts."

"Miss Ran may have misunderstood. The ghost killing team kills evil spirits not for personal enmity, but for righteousness." The protagonist explained, "It is precisely because everyone has been taken away by ghosts that they have sworn to protect the weak. Let others go through the pain that we go through."

"I can understand the pain of losing a family member." I said, "but I heard that the ghost king Wu Mi has been defeated and imprisoned somewhere in hell. In this way, the world has restored peace. Yun and the others let go of their obsessions and reincarnate."

"Miss Ran doesn't know that although Oni Wu Tsuji has been punished, the crimes he has committed are far from over. For more than 1000 years, the souls of the evil spirits he created will fall into hell after being killed, and I am waiting here The meaning of guarding is to completely exterminate those hopeless people who have sinned deeply and refuse to repent. There have been no troubles in the past few hundred years, but since the loss of 38 soldiers last time, we are worried , in the winding of falling into hell with Wu Mi, it is very likely that a ghost whose strength surpassed Wu Mi appeared, but we have not found any trace of it so far."

The lord sighed, "Shangxian ghosts are all monsters that kill countless people, and they have escaped Wu Mi's control. If they are left alone, there will probably be a ghost king who is more powerful and terrifying than Wu Mi. Once they break through the boundary of hell Returning to the human world, it is bound to set off a bloodbath again."

"My lord is too pessimistic." I said calmly, "Although I don't know much about the existence of ghosts, I think there must be a reason for all living beings to fall into the ghost realm. If you don't try to understand the reason, If you are eager to solve the effect caused by the cause, then the struggle between humans and ghosts can only be endless."

A slightly puzzled expression appeared on the master's face.

"It's the first time I've heard such a statement. Miss Ran thinks, why do ghosts become ghosts?"

"I don't know, but I think it should be similar to people going astray. Either because of obsession, or when there is a desperate moment, or just because of fate. In my opinion, ghosts are no different from people. "

"What a wonderful idea." My lord laughed, "Miss Ran's insight and magnanimity make us feel ashamed. She is worthy of being a woman from the Wu family."

"I don't dare to do it. Your lord has kindness for us sisters to rescue and take in. In return, I should also express my opinion to you."

"Actually, I invited Miss Ran to come here this time to ask you, if you can help us capture the escaped evil spirit before leaving here? We can trust your sword skills and character, but this also requires It depends on your own choice, we will never force it."

Ah...you are truly meritocratic, my lord.

"Thank you very much, my lord, for your trust." I fell deeply on the ground again, "But in my opinion, killing ghosts is no different from killing people. I really don't feel at ease leaving her here alone. So I still hope to find a way to return to the human world as soon as possible, so as not to disturb you here."

"I understand, I can fully understand your feelings." The lord said gently, "I will ask Qianyue to find a way to send you back as soon as possible."

I followed Zhu Shiyuan Road and walked out of the mansion, only to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"Miss Zhushi, may I ask, what is the origin of this Miyashiki Patriarch? Why are you all willing to obey him?"

On the way back, I couldn't help asking.

"The Ubayashiki clan was originally a relative of Oni Mai Tsuji Mumi, because Mumi became the king of ghosts who troubled the world, and this clan was cursed by the gods. All the males in the family died young, and later intermarried with the priest's family. Only left descendants, but it is difficult to live past the age of 30." Zhu Shi said softly, "Our lord is even more regrettable, he was young and promising, but caught up with Yue Zhu's betrayal of the ghost killing team at that time, and was killed by others. The head was beheaded and dedicated to Wu Mi, and Master Zongzheng who was the guard at that time also died in the line of duty..."

I couldn't help laughing: "What the hell kind of god is this? One person becomes a ghost, and the whole family is cursed? It seems that this god is either very afraid of ghosts, or it doesn't make sense at all."

Zhu Shi glanced at me, and said helplessly: "Miss Ran, don't say arrogant words. Since you are a witch who grew up in a shrine, you should understand that the way of heaven is not something ordinary people can guess."

"Heavenly, it's like Ding Fengxing. When you really wait for it, it will never come. You ignore it completely and live your own life. Instead, it clamors to punish you." I laughed. It's an incompetent thing, and if you meet it, you have to slap it in the face."

Zhu Shi was also amused by me, "No wonder Miss Ran and Zao Yun get along well, I can't see that you are so good at telling jokes."

"Excellent, my ability to tell jokes is actually learned from a guy with a sick mind."

As he spoke, he had already reached the door of the residence.Zhu Shi said: "Almost forgot, just now Zaoyun told me that you cut your hand with a knife, I specially brought medicine here. Is the injury serious? Show me."

I held out my left hand, which was intact.

He stretched out his right hand again, still intact.

"Eh? I forgot which hand was hurt." I smiled awkwardly, "It's not serious, it's already healed."

Zhu Shi showed a surprised smile, "Miss Ran's recovery ability is really amazing. As long as there is nothing wrong, then I will go back first."
