Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

When I got near my residence, I first went to the woods where the "Kalachakra" fragments were stored. After noting the order, I put away all the fragments. They must not be taken away, and I can only consider how to deal with them when I come back.

My sword's slashing power is too weak, and its destructiveness is not strong enough. Even with the Snake Tooth Blade, although the speed is acceptable, it still lacks lethality when encountering strong opponents. This is because I am good at using defensive spells. When encountering enemies, fleeing is often the primary strategy.But after seeing the sword skills of Master Heishi Mou, I think maybe some changes need to be made.

The powerful sword energy honed over hundreds of years really fascinated me, and I couldn't turn a blind eye to it.

What happened to the gods?Who said gods can't learn art from teachers?

I threw the fragments of the Kalachakra and the notebook into the tree hole before, and as soon as I turned around, I crashed into a cold embrace.

"I caught you~"

That charming voice rang softly next to my ear.

I froze.

The ghost was sniffing around my neck as if intoxicated, and the white oak hair swept past my eyes.

"Where did Xiaoran go? Why didn't you come back for several days?" He complained a little bit aggrieved, "I miss you so much~"

It was obvious that his fangs were exposed, rubbing against my neck lightly, I turned my head hard and pushed him.

Of course it can't push you, this ghost is already tall, and when it grabs you, it has extra strength.

"Master Tong Mo, I'm going out for a while." I told him as calmly as possible.

"Eh? Why?" He opened his beautiful colorful eyes, "Where is Xiaoran going?"

Ah, please, don't show that innocent and childlike expression.

We all know the kid is dead, don't we?

"I went to Master Hei Si Mou to learn sword skills. He agreed to teach me. It's a rare opportunity." I said lightly, "Anyway, I haven't had anything to do recently, so I..."

"But Xiaoran is my family member. I can teach you what you want to learn~" the ghost continued innocently, "What's the point of swordsmanship? If Xiaoran, just follow me. People will protect you~"

"No, I didn't expect you to protect me, Master Tong Mo," I said bluntly, "We are helping each other along the way, because we are in a cooperative relationship, have you forgotten?"

"A cooperative relationship? Aren't we friends?"

Tong Mo put away that innocent expression and revealed a thoughtful gaze.

"Did Master Wuyou say something to you?" His tone became flat and calm.

"No, why do you think so?" I avoided his icy, inorganic eyes, as if I wanted to avoid a monster rising from the abyss.

"Compared to trusting me, Xiao Ran trusts Mr. Wu Mi more, right?"

The monster opened its eyes.

Inexplicably, I thought of Qin Ye, and when she threw the young son in her arms off the cliff in despair on that moonlit night, was the monster walking behind her step by step?

I'm not Qin Ye, I've always known what kind of ghost Tong Mo is, but why, until this moment, did I realize Qin Ye's heartbreak?

——I secretly kept some of the candy my mother gave me, and I want to leave it to the child, after all, he has never eaten candy much.

——When the cherry blossoms bloom, he will come, that's what I promised him.

——Please, instead of me, guard by his side.

——Don't give up, don't let him disappear.

——Those memories were discarded by him on his own initiative, without the slightest hesitation.

"enough!"

I raised my head and stared straight into those gorgeous but temperatureless eyes.

"I walked this journey with you, not to play games with you! Tong Mo, I know you have no feelings, and I have never blamed you, but can we... can we not take the fake as the real?"

God, what kind of nonsense is this, shouldn't I say this to myself?

But why...why have I been the only one who has endured all this?

"Eh?"

The ghost tilted his head, showing a confused expression.

"What is Xiaoran talking about? I can't feel feelings. Didn't you already know?"

He reached out and brushed a strand of my hair with his long, dark blue nails.

"But so what? Am I not gentle with Xiaoran? When Xiaoran is with me, he is obviously smiling too."

"Why is Xiaoran so angry? As long as you stay by my side obediently~ If you do this, people will be sad."

He blinked and two tears fell.

And then more tears.

... This guy started crying quite seriously.

"Wuuuuu... Even if it's fake, even if I don't feel anything, I've already worked very hard... How can Xiaoran treat her like this... It's too much..."

He was crying so realistically that I was a little overwhelmed. Just as I was about to comfort him a few words, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

why so cold

A layer of icicles formed on all the branches of the trees within sight, white freezing fog filled the air, and clusters of sharp icicles burst out of the ground like strange plants.

This... is this some new vampire technique?

It wasn't until I realized that the cold feeling was coming from within my body that I noticed a layer of frost quickly spread across my arm along the bloody lotus on my wrist, and then accompanied by the sudden burst of blood, Tiny ice crystal lotus pierced through the skin and grew out of my body.

...I knew it, how could there be no side effects at all after being infused with so much ghost blood?

The family of ghosts who are engraved, the life is in the hands of the engraver, and I always forget that he is the same existence as Wu Miben.

While desperately using my spiritual power to resist the icy cold spreading in my body, I slapped the ghost in front of me hard.

"Tong Mo... are you trying to kill me?"

I said through gritted teeth.

He seemed to be taken aback, just staring at me expressionlessly.

How to do?Who will tell me what to do?

Do you want to draw your knife?Although I can't compete with it in terms of strength, but at such a short distance, maybe I can...

Ding.

The silver bell on the wrist is ringing.

Like a girl crying.

——Your face is full of dirt, stand up and clean it up.Is there any other injury?Be careful.

——It's not your fault, but someone deliberately insulted you.So don't blame yourself.You were so brave yesterday, I saw it all.

——You are the first person I have ever seen who will stand up and speak for me. Although I don’t understand why you are so angry, I still thank you very much. You are such a brave girl.

That child's crystal-clear voice was once the light that illuminated my world.

I really miss him.

Before I lost that memory, no matter in this world or in hell, as long as I was conscious, I would never stop thinking about him.

I wonder if he has grown taller, and what he has become.

Think about where other people are and how they live.

I wonder if he will be happier than me.

As for whether he fulfilled the agreement or whether he came to see me, it didn't seem to be that important.

Because, as long as two people live in this world, there will always be a day when they will meet again.

But what exactly took him?What was it that made me lose him forever?

Tears finally couldn't be controlled anymore and poured down.

I'm sorry, I used to work so hard not to let myself cry in front of you.

Because you have seen so many tearful faces, I don't want to let you see even a little bit of sadness.

But I am still too weak.

If I were stronger, if I could get to you sooner...

...if only I hadn't died that summer...

"Why are you putting things down so slowly? Hey, why is it so fucking cold in here?"

A boy's voice broke the dead silence abruptly, and it also made my mind work again.

"Yue Yue! Run!" I yelled.

The pair of clear and colorful eyes in front of him narrowed, and in the snow mist that exploded, countless ice crystal lotus flowers shining with cold light flew out.

For the first time in my life, I have experienced what it feels like to be the prey of a ghost.

Fleeing desperately in the dark forest, the sound of the wind, the sound of broken plants, the sound of panting, and the sound of heartbeat are all in my ears. All the sounds have turned into the kind of great fear that covers the head.

I hid my breath as much as possible. After all, I am good at running away, but the young man next to me can't do it. It can be seen that he is frightened, his panting and heartbeat, and the crackling of dry plants under his footsteps. Does not attract the attention of hunters.

His arm was scratched by ice crystals, and half of my body was covered in blood in order to stop the rampaging blood ghost technique. Although I stopped the bleeding with spiritual power, the lingering smell must still be there, especially for the very familiar one. The ghost of the smell of my blood.

There is no escape.

This is normal, if the second of the strings really wants to hunt you, you can't escape at all, he was originally a ghost second only to Master Hei Si Mou, and the current strength is not known to what extent, once he gets serious, it will be extremely terrifying .

If I was the only one, I might choose to find a place to hide and find a way to completely conceal my aura. In that case, there is still a chance of getting away with it.But now with a yue, I can almost hear his teeth chattering in fear and cold, let alone telling him to hide.

I stopped abruptly, and Huang Yue staggered, almost hitting a tree.

"What are you doing? Run!" He lowered his voice and said angrily.

I dragged him into a darker forest next to me, and whispered, "You go in this direction first, and I'll go find you later."

The boy froze for a moment, bared his teeth angrily, and said, "Are you stupid? That's the second one! I just became a ghost and knew it was a woman-eating maniac. Are you fucking going to wait to be eaten?"

"The two of us run together, and neither of us can escape." I said, "You go first, and I should be able to stop him for a while."

Yan Yue rolled his eyes, and suddenly his eyes turned cold: "Are you trying to use me as bait?"

I am speechless, what has this child experienced, and why is his heart so dark?

"You all know that Shangxian Er likes to eat women. Do you think he will chase you, or eat me first?" I said helplessly, "If you don't run away, there will be no time. I heard him coming."

"Where can I go? I'm not familiar with this place!"

"Go to Master Heishimu, he gave you blood, the connection of ghost blood is the strongest, you just go to find him with your breath, you will be able to find him. I also gave you the knife, if you encounter strange things, just cut them .” I pushed him, “Go!”

Seeing the young man staggering into the forest, I pressed my body against the back of a big tree, trying to calm down my mood and spiritual power.

Although I don't know why, there is a voice in my heart telling me that I cannot escape.

If I escape, it will be over.

It's hard to come here, and I can't give up.

Even if confusion and sadness filled my heart for a while.

Even if it is death, you can't give up.

My mind quickly calmed down, probably because the air was getting colder rapidly. I began to hear the crackling sound of the surrounding plants freezing, but I still couldn't hear the footsteps, and couldn't even perceive his specific location.

I remember making a bet with him, betting that he couldn't learn my ability to hide my breath, and now it seems that I lost.

What's the stake?

——If Xiaoran loses, tell me all your secrets.

Am I really ready?

Face him, and face yourself.

Even if what greeted me might be the same ending as Qin Ye.

I took a deep breath, walked out of the forest slowly, and stood still in the clearing covered by severe frost.

The figure of the red-clothed evil spirit appeared in front of me almost instantly. He was holding a fan, and his eyes like ice crystals looked at me with a half-smile.

"Hey, Xiaoran is very smart, since you can't escape, don't run away~" His voice was relaxed and cheerful, "Ah, you have lost a lot of blood, it must be very painful, right?"

"It's very painful, but it's not to the point of asking Master Tong Mo to send me to bliss." I said calmly.

"Eh? I didn't say I was going to send Xiaoran to Bliss." Tong Mo blinked in confusion, and then showed a weeping expression, "Why did Xiaoran run away? Is it because I'm afraid I'll kill you? Would do that kind of thing, people just...just..."

He seemed to be trying to find a suitable word, and finally said a little hesitantly:

"...just don't like it."

"I don't like the way Xiaoran looks at me, as if I don't know him. Really, we have been together for so long, how can we say we are not friends?"

"What are you talking about that is fake or real? I really don't understand it at all! Hey, Xiaoran, don't do this, we are still friends, right? We have always been friends, right?"

... This guy, does he care about this so much?

I can't help but sigh.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive just now, I shouldn't lose my temper with you casually." I said to him seriously, "Of course we are still friends, but we have to talk, Master Tong Mo."

"If it's a friend, it's fine~" Gui said happily, "Everyone is willing to listen to what Xiaoran wants to say~"

I smiled slightly: "Didn't you say you wanted to know my secret before? I will tell you now. This story is a bit long, but I remember that you are very good at listening to believers, so please listen to me patiently." .”

"The me you see now is not what I used to be..."

I found a fallen tree and sat down, and told him Shiro's story, my story, and the brief encounter 200 years ago between the little witch at the Arakawa Shrine and the little Miko from the Bliss Cult.

It did take a long time, but this noisy ghost is really good at listening patiently.

As I expected, he didn't react after listening to it, he just looked a little confused.

"Ah... I said why I always feel that I have met Xiaoran somewhere, so we have met before?"

"Yes, you were seven years old then."

Recalling the child's face, I couldn't help smiling and said, "It's so cute, like a snow dumpling."

"What's this called, isn't he cute now?"

I glanced at him and said honestly: "Now...it's called good-looking, handsome, not cute...wait, did I explain clearly? As the god of Arakawa, I ate Bai Ji, and now I have this I, so, the girl you once knew was eaten by me, and I don't know if I count as her, or if I just..."

"Eh? What's the problem? Xiaoran ate Xiaobaiji, and accepted Xiaobaiji's flesh and mind. Xiaobaiji and Xiaoran obtained eternal life together." Tong Mo said naturally, " What's so hard to understand?"

This……

I forgot, but this ghost has a rather unique way of thinking about cannibalism.

"In other words, although I don't remember what happened at that time, I don't know why," the ghost put his hand on his chin, and suddenly narrowed his eyes, showing a rather gentle smile.

"Hearing that Little Baiji didn't die, I feel very good."

He reached out and rubbed the top of my head, and repeated again, "So you didn't die? It's great."

I raised my head and looked at him blankly, and saw that there seemed to be something more in those radiant eyes that I had never seen before. I didn't know what it was, but my heart was inexplicably touched, and I felt sour And warm feeling.

It was too warm, causing the eyes to blur instantly.

I cried unpreparedly, as if I could no longer hold back the tears I had endured for hundreds of years.

"Hey, why is Xiaoran crying again? Wasn't she still laughing just now?"

"Why didn't you come...?"

I broke down in tears and said: "I...I've been waiting for you for a long time...I made an appointment to meet when the cherry blossoms bloom next year...I've been waiting for you...but you actually forgot about me, you are really...really too It's too much..."

I know he doesn't understand, but I can't control myself at all, because at that moment just now, it seemed...

It was as if the child with a gentle smile had returned.

Master Tong Mo showed his professionalism as the leader of the Bliss Sect, and watched me cry the whole way with an extremely touched expression.

"I'm so touched," he wiped away his tears, "Has Xiaoran been waiting for someone? Even if there is no hope, have you persevered? Ah, you are so strong! Although it is a sad story, but I still think it’s a great thing to be friends with Xiaoran~”

Seeing his exaggerated appearance, I couldn't cry anyway.

"Forget it, Master Tong Mo, you don't have to cry with me, I know you don't feel it. You are willing to listen to me, as a friend, I am already very satisfied."

"No~" the ghost said seriously, "I really think it's a great thing to be friends with Xiaoran, and I even knew each other a long time ago, eh, it feels like our relationship has become closer , this is a rare fate~"

"As for why you said you didn't look for you," he thought for a moment, then patted his hand with a fan as if he had suddenly realized, "I remember, if it was that year, it was probably because..."

"My desperately stupid parents died at the beginning of the year."

Tong Mo looked at me with a smile: "It's really troublesome. There are a lot of things left in the church, and we have to deal with funeral affairs. I don't even have free time for the next few years. I probably won't be able to go to Edo again. It’s over there. So I’m sorry, I kept Xiaoran waiting for so long~”

I see, did you encounter such a big thing... If I remember correctly, you were only eight years old at the time...

None of us can predict where the river of fate will go. In the end, all tragedies are just accidents.

"It's okay, I forgive you."

I looked at his eyes that also reflected rainbows in the dark, and smiled with relief.

Go ahead and don't look back.

It's ridiculous when you think about it, both of us are not human long ago, and we are still spending time explaining to each other in hell about what happened when we were human, which is a bit silly no matter how you look at it.

Hmm... Generally speaking, I am still stupid, so easily caught by Mr. Wu Mi's weakness.

"That man is really good at motivating people's hearts," I sighed. "As expected of a ghost king who has lived for 1000 years, he has mastered all of your thoughts. You really can't underestimate him at all."

"Xiao Ran is wrong, Mr. Wu Mi is not omniscient, even when he can use ghost blood to control us, as long as there is a distance from his line of sight, he can only perceive your position. He can’t monitor your mind all the time. It’s just that if he wants, he can summon you to the Infinite City for interrogation at any time.” Tong Mo fiddled with the tassels on the fan, and said thoughtfully, “But he has lost his right now. With Shangxian's ability to control, Xiaoran is not his subordinate, why can he always find you?"

"Eh? You're right!" I suddenly realized where the strange feeling came from, "From the beginning, the ghost who controlled the dream found me, and then Master Wu Mi followed, and he I knew from the beginning that I was a god, and this time too, I fell into the space he created without any preparation at all."

"This is so interesting!" Tong Mo said cheerfully, "Let's find out about this next time! I can't wait to know the next move of Mr. Wu Mi~"

"After he provoked this time, he must want to see the effect." I said, "So it is the most appropriate way for me to go to Mr. Hei Si Mou at present."

"Eh? Do you still want to go?" The ghost immediately put on a look of anticipation, "Then he also wants to go together~"

I was annoyed by him: "Are you kidding me? I'm going to learn sword skills! If you're here, it's no wonder Master Hei Si Mou would still teach me!"

"Why do you have to learn his sword skills? I heard that no one can learn the breath of the moon. Besides, I saw that Xiaoran fought well in battle!" The ghost pouted and said sadly, "ah Ah, do you want to leave me alone again? It will be boring~"

"I only learn the shape of the sword. My sword skills are not aggressive enough, and there are loopholes in the defense of Mr. Tong Mo in melee combat. I must become stronger to ensure that you are safe when using vampirism."

Tong Mo was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Xiaoran is so cute~ Do you want to protect me so seriously? Don't worry, the regeneration ability of ghosts is very strong, even if you are injured, you will recover immediately. Let me tell you, you are too nervous, relax. It’s one o’clock, it’s hard to go to hell, the most important thing is to have fun~”

What the hell kind of talk is this...

I got serious: "No, I watched you fight with His Excellency Komaji carefully before, you were easily hit by others! In addition, when we fought against the wind pillar of the Demon Slayer Team, you were hit by him. Don't rely on regenerative ability for everything, if the opponent has any follow-up tricks, you will suffer, so you must not underestimate the enemy. I will be back soon, please take care of His Excellency Komaji and Lianxue secretly for me, don't let Master Wu Mi caught them...you can't eat them!"

"Don't worry, after all, Your Excellency Yiwozuo used to be my best friend~" Tong Mo showed a harmless smile, "I will take care of them very, very gently~"

Tsk, it doesn't look very reliable anyway.

"But if you want others to help, Xiaoran needs to pay a price~"

"What's the price? That engraving of your family member almost caused me to lose a lot of blood. How dare you ask for the price?" I rolled my eyes. Compensation!"

"Hey, what Xiaoran said seems to make sense~" The ghost rarely nodded seriously, "Then consider it as compensation~"

"What, I don't need... um!"

The lips were grabbed without warning, and the cold and soft touch made me completely frozen in place. Fortunately, this time he actually retracted his fangs, and let me go with just a light touch.

Why this again?This guy... why is he so proficient in this kind of thing? ?How many times have you been to Yoshiwara...?

Obviously using the advantage of the blood giver to detect my messy heart, the ghost pressed my lips with its fingertips pretending to be mysterious.

"By the time of Taisho, this has become very popular, not only in Yuguo, ordinary girls also like it~ Although Xiaoran is a god, if she doesn't understand these things at all, she might be caught by someone when she goes back there in the future. laugh~"

Eh?Is that so? ?

The author has something to say:

Happy Dragon Boat Festival ~ so I updated three chapters in a row haha ​​~
