Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

The sun shines on the palace road, and there are frequent exchanges of laughter.

Although there are many people in the palace, my heart is in one person.

——"Manyoshu"

Zheng——

There was a deep string sound, like a vibrating reverberation evoked by a pick on a pipa.

After that, there was a huge sound of friction, explosion, and the sound of many people running past, their footsteps scattered in all directions, causing thunderous vibrations in the air.Someone shouted something, there was a series of explosions, the flapping of bird wings, the cracking of wood, and the sharp sound of swords piercing the wind.

The lights flickered like will-o'-the-wisps, the doors were heavy, and the layers were upside down, spreading out an endless chaotic space.

I stood in front of a long corridor, looking around blankly.From somewhere came the sound of fierce fighting, someone shouting, someone screaming.

The smell of blood permeated the air, my heartbeat accelerated suddenly, and those flickering lights became distorted.

Be fast, have to be fast.

I rushed towards the end of the corridor.

Ding.

The silver bell is ringing, but I just want to run wildly.

Finally saw the door at the end of the corridor.

The air was as cold as a sharp knife cutting the throat, I could smell the aroma of lotus, the smell of water, mixed with thick blood.

Ding.Ding.Ding.

It's okay, it's okay, it's coming.

A child's voice whispers softly:

——Miss Bai Ji, we...

I pulled open the door with a bang, and the icy wind and snow rushed towards me. A man with white oak hair stood at the door with a surprised expression on his face and frost on his hair.

Feeling relieved, I smiled and reached out to wipe away those frost flowers.

—My lord, why don't you know how to put your hair...

Snapped.

Something fell into my hand.

I lowered my head and saw that it was a colorful glass-like eyeball, covered with thick blood, and two ink-colored characters were faintly written on the pupil:

winding.

"what!"

I opened my eyes and found myself in the dark.

"Ha ha…"

An ethereal laugh sounded from the side and rear.

"I see... Is it a nightmare... Is it painful? Is it regretful?"

"Want to do it all over again...?"

I didn't say a word, just drew my knife and chopped.

The other party was just a spirit body, vaguely recognizable as a slender young man wearing a strange foreign suit, shadowy in the dark, where the knife flashed, he was split into two halves like a piece of white paper, and dissipated into the air.

What is this?Why am I falling asleep in a tree?

I'm supposed to come... for what?

"Xiaoran, you are so slow~"

Not far from under the tree came the familiar long-drawn-out sound, and the next moment, the ghost's figure suddenly moved in front of me, which startled me.

"Has anyone been here?" He stared behind me.

"No." I said.

"But Xiaoran has drawn his sword."

I looked at the knife in my hand, and silently put it back, "It's been a bit strange recently, probably because you gave me too much blood as a side effect. By the way... are your eyes okay?"

"Eh?"

I leaned over and stared at his left eye.

"Obviously there are no words."

"Oh, did Xiao Ran say this?" Tong Mo smiled and pointed at his eyes, "It used to be there~ only Shangxian had engraved words on both eyes, but after going to hell, the words disappeared, maybe because of Wu Mi My lord's blood is useless~"

"...By the way, I'm here to stick a spell."

There have been too many strange things recently. I found a few defensive spells near the place where the ghost killing team was stationed, drew some of them, and they still worked, so I just used them and pasted them in the woods near the house.But I don't know why, I just fell asleep when I stuck to it.

"Wait for me a moment," I waved the few remaining charms in my hand, "It will be fine soon. Recently, I always feel that there are strange things appearing in this area. We'd better be careful."

"It's a ghost."

"Huh? What the hell?"

"It's the same kind of people." Tong Mo said casually, "Maybe they were locked up by ghost hunters before. But they are all weak. If you get too close, just kill them."

A meaningful smile appeared on his face, "But this one just now seems to have a familiar aura~ Forget it, let's ask about it next time we catch it."

"Would there be a ghost like that?" I asked. "It looks like a completely spirit body, very weak...but it seems to make me have a terrible dream."

"What kind of dream is it? Let me tell you~"

I hesitated: "I dreamed...your eyeball fell out, the one on the left."

The ghost stared at me quietly for a few seconds, then suddenly burst into a rather exaggerated laugh.

"Hahahaha, Xiaoran is so cute~ Can he have such a funny dream? Hahaha~"

"What! How funny! I'm scared to death, okay?!" I wanted to hit his head angrily, "Master Tong Mo is too much! Don't make fun of me!"

"Hey, as for the eyeballs, people can dig them out~ If Xiaoran wants it, there is no problem~"

"That's too disgusting! Ah, don't really dig! Stop!"

After being made such a fuss by him, all the scary feelings disappeared. I have to say that this ghost does have a unique ability to adjust the atmosphere.

After posting the charm, we walked back together.Dots of golden light shone through the thick clouds in the sky, and the water veins of the Santu River gradually emerged in the void.

"It's dawn." I said softly.

"Eh? Did Xiaoran call this Tianliang?"

"Yeah, I used to calculate the time by the number of times the blood moon rose in the Karmic Fire Realm, and it's much more convenient here," I said, "I found that this river is at the base of the Ghost Killing Squad. The time intervals that appear in the sky are almost the same, I think this may be related to the opening of the 'door', at least it was like this in the Karmic Fire Realm before."

The ghost looked at me with a little surprise: "Hasn't Xiaoran given up looking for a way out? But I've seen it before, ghosts can't pass through that door, and people can't become humans, so why not just stay there?" It’s fine here, it’s the same anywhere.”

"I said before, I will not give up on Master Tong Mo." I stopped and looked at him seriously, "This door is not working, so find another way. The key is that you can't be swayed by yourself, remember hell It is the world of ideas, the more determined the mind, the more likely it will be realized. So don’t be lazy, work harder!”

"But the outcome of all things is doomed." The ghost said with a smile, "Why do you have to work hard when there is obviously no hope? Isn't it good to just accept the result honestly. Just like human beings will die, ghosts Will go to hell, such a simple thing, what is unacceptable?"

"It's not like that." I retorted him, "It's like you thought there was no hell before, but now you are here. You said that there are no gods in the world, but I am also here. A long time ago, I didn't expect there to be One day I can meet Master Tong Mo here. The world is very big, even a god can’t understand everything and predict everything. So I will never give up hope. I said I would take you out, so I will definitely will take you out."

Tong Mo blinked those icy eyes in confusion.

"Why? Because Xiaoran and I are friends?"

"Yes, I told you, true friends will never give up on each other."

I held out my hand to him solemnly, "So let's pull the hook."

"Eh? That's what children do~"

"Master Tongmo is no different from a child. He can't even dry his hair." I laughed at him mercilessly, "Why are you pretending to be an adult? Hurry up!"

He hooked my finger somewhat tangled.

"Hang yourself on the hook, and you can't change it for 100 years." I said solemnly, "As long as I'm still moving forward, Mr. Tong Mo must keep up with me, and I'm not allowed to find any reason to give up halfway."

"I really can't help it~" Gui sighed helplessly, "Then I will satisfy Xiaoran's wish, after all, I am the son of God, and I am gentle..."

"And kind." I picked up his words, "Let's go back quickly. I didn't understand the double six game yesterday. How did you win?"

"Hehehe, it's not because Xiaoran is too stupid..."

After passing through the woods covered with white vines, I suddenly felt a strange sense of oppression in the air. Looking back at Tong Mo, he also stopped a step.

"Hey," the corner of the ghost's mouth curled into a playful smile, "here's a guest."

When I saw the tall figure in front of the house, I secretly grasped the handle of the knife.

The swordsman in purple snake-patterned feathers, with his long hair tied up high, looked like a black cloud sweeping across the sky, just standing there motionless, his whole body exuded a shuddering, heavy aura. breath.

Hearing movement, he turned around.I took a light breath.

This person actually has six red gold ghost pupils.The rusty knife on the waist is also very long, and it seems to be covered with eyes.

However, it can be vaguely seen that the face covered by the terrifying ghost pupils is delicate and clear, but it may be because there are too many eyes, so his expression cannot be seen at all.

I was thinking about how to deal with this uninvited guest, when the ghost's joyful voice came from beside me:

"Hey, isn't this Master Hei Si Mou? It's been a long, long time no see! Since I went to hell, I have been thinking about you! Ah, you still look so handsome and handsome. You really deserve to be the one who wound you up." Proud~"

Amaterasu Omi, can't he close his mouth first? !

I looked at the other party in fear, but I didn't expect that the majestic winding one didn't respond much, but stared at him with an unclear expression.

Being stared at by six eyes at the same time, this ghost can still smile with a sunny face!

"Did you... kill those three pillars?" Hei Si Mou's voice was very deep and deep.

It's over, is this to avenge your former colleagues?

I feel like I'm breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Look at what you said," Tong Mo said with grievances all over his face, "I'm still the second in the string, isn't it normal to kill a few pillars? I also dealt with the obstetrician by the way."

The other party was silent for a moment, and the six red gold ghost pupils looked scorching in the dim light.

After a long time, I heard that deep voice slowly say:

"You... have grown a lot."

"Thank you, Master Hei Si Mou, for your compliment." Tong Mo still smiled without a trace of seriousness, "Even if he goes to hell, he has been working hard to become stronger~"

He caught me off guard and grabbed my shoulders, "But I can't do without Xiaoran's help. Xiaoran, this is Master Heishi Mou, my colleague and senior~"

I pulled his hand off his shoulder and leaned slightly towards the tall ghost swordsman.

"Master Hei Si Mou, we meet again. Now that you have arrived at my door, would you like to come in for a cup of tea? Otherwise, it will appear that we are too rude."

Winding One's gaze turned to me, it was a silent but sharp stare like an ancient sword.

For a moment, he nodded slightly.

"Then invite Mr. Heishimu to come in. The room is too simple, so please forgive me." I smiled.

It never occurred to me that the first recipient of the precious tea set collected from the Demon Slayer Squad's resident would be One of the Winding Strings.

Seeing him sitting there on his knees, with a straight body, he looks like a person who follows strict samurai etiquette, and the gesture of holding the teacup is also very particular. He should have been educated by the daimyo's noble class since childhood.

Would such a noble and elegant person also choose to become a ghost?

I couldn't help but glanced at the ghost next to me who seemed to have tried very hard to sit upright but still looked boneless...

Alas, ghosts are deader than ghosts.

When he was distracted, he heard the ghost swordsman speak slowly:

"Are you...familiar with martial arts etiquette?"

I put my hands in front of my body, bowed lightly and said, "Yes, Mr. Heishi Mou, please allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is Ran, and I have lived in this world before. I have some connection with the Yagyu family in Edo Castle. I heard that there was a swordsman named Liusheng Sanyan in my ancestors. But I have no luck to practice swordsmanship, I am just a girl of the samurai family, and I have to follow the minimum etiquette and righteousness since childhood."

"The Yagyu family in Edo... is also a famous family, no wonder it is so." Master Hei Si Mou looked at me calmly, "But you...have ghost blood and are not human...Although I have been a ghost for many years, I haven't seen it yet. ever existed..."

"To be honest, I was originally a water god enshrined in the Arakawa Shrine outside Edo Castle. I was lucky enough to have this spiritual body because I got the soul of a human priestess. The priestess who gave me my soul was the youngest daughter of the Yagyu family. "I smiled, "This may be a bit difficult to understand, you just need to know that I am a god, and I am also a follower of Master Tong Mo, that's enough."

I think Mr. Hei Si Mou probably got a lot of training in his three views after falling into hell, so he didn't seem too surprised, but looked deeply at the smiling ghost beside me.

"Tong Mo...you...do you dare to blaspheme even the gods?"

"Hei Si Mou-sama, he is also the son of God~" Tong Mo smiled shamelessly, "Besides, Xiao Ran is really capable, and he doesn't reject ghost blood. Ah," he said with a fan With his chin propped up, he looked innocent, "We haven't said that gods can't be family members, have we?"

I think Hei Si Mou is used to the daily unreliability of the magic stick, so he still didn't say much, but said in a deep voice:

"After the destruction of the ghost hunters here... the ghosts have already started to stir up... What are you going to do?"

"What else do you need to plan?" Tong Mo spread his hands innocently, "They have already gone to hell, but I don't have time to deal with these things. Let them kill each other like before, and the territory will naturally be divided. Besides Lah, what's the difference between a ghost who can't use vampirism and a human?"

Hei Si Mou shook his head and said, "You and I should be the only ones here...you can't let it go. You...you'd better think about this matter carefully before giving me an answer."
