Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

God, what the hell is this ghost talking about!

"Tong Mo! Stop it! You can't do this! You will lose yourself!"

I shouted desperately in my head, but he, who always responded to me immediately, lost his voice.

I couldn't care less about Ji Guoyuan, and I made my way through the densely packed dead spirits. With my perception of ghost blood, I finally found that ghost sitting on an ice lotus that grew to mid-air, as if looking down on it. God of all things.

But in those colorful glazed eyes, there are dots of green light shining.

I had no choice but to rush up to him and slap him hard.

"Tong Mo! Are you crazy? Stop it!"

Hitting it like an ice sculpture, he gave me a blank look.

"No." The ghost said mechanically in a calm voice, "I was born into this world to help those poor people."

"It is my duty as the leader to make believers happy."

"I'm a kind person, and I won't leave everyone alone."

I was horrified to find that countless black hands stretched out from under the ice lotus seat, and those hands stretched upward desperately as if they were trying to grab a life-saving straw, and firmly grasped the rosette.

With tears streaming down his face, Tong Mo held one of his hands sincerely.

"You look so pitiful, don't worry, I will save you."

Ah, please, don't be crazy at a time like this!

I cut off those hands with a swing of the knife, but more hands came out.The voices that were as thin as gnats gradually became louder.

Save us... save us... save us... save us... save us... save us...

Is it a hallucination, or cause and effect, I can't tell for a while.In desperation, I had no choice but to use the power of the gods to open a multi-layered barrier to temporarily isolate the out-of-control undead from the person named Ji Guoyuanyi. Then I dropped the knife and sat in front of the ghost, grasping tightly. Caught his cold hand.

It's not the first time this sick guy has gone wrong at a critical moment, I can handle it, I can!

To do evil to ghosts on the battlefield, I am really an omnipotent god!

Unlike Mr. Wuyan, Tong Mo's mind is pure white, like a snowy, empty wilderness.

In that field stood a little child with hair as spotless as white oak and eyes as clear as ice as iridescent.He was wearing a black cassock with a rosary on his chest, just as I had seen him when I was eight years old.

I didn't even know what to call him, because the kid didn't have a name.

Before I could speak, the child murmured by himself:

"I am a smart and kind child. I have done many good deeds and saved countless people."

"Both my father and my mother love me. They say that I am the son of the gods, and I must be able to hear the voice of the gods, so even if I can't hear them, I will follow their words. There is no way, no matter how stupid they are, they are still my father and my mother." Mom."

"The believers also love me. Although they hated them praying around me at first, they are really pitiful. Either their family members died, or their property was lost, or they were bullied and abused. They said they were so painful that they lived I can’t go on anymore, I want the gods to guide them to the paradise, but I really want to tell them that there are no gods in the world, and there is no paradise. Human life is painful, and everyone will die. Everything in the world is like this , such a simple truth, why don't they understand?"

"But I can only tell them that I will definitely take them to the Land of Ultimate Bliss. After all, the meaning of my existence is to help these poor people and make them happy."

"I have always, always been working hard, and I have never given up on saving everyone."

"But why...why is everybody crying? They're crying endlessly, saying I didn't save them, I killed them. They say they hate me, ask me why I'm alive, say I feel nothing No, like a fool."

He looked at me in a daze: "Actually... no one can save me, right? So why on earth did I... come into this world?"

"No, that's not the case!"

I rushed forward and grabbed his hand, as if I had become a little girl myself.

"You saved me! Do you remember? 200 years ago, on the streets of Edo, I was about to be beaten to death. It was you who got off the sedan chair and told them to stop, so they stopped. You go When you came to me and held out your hand, you said, 'Your face is covered with dirt, stand up and clean it up, if there is any injury, be careful'."

The child still looked at me blankly: "Who are you, I don't remember you."

"I'm Shirahime! The shrine maiden Shirahime of Arakawa Shrine! Little god of the Bliss Cult, have you forgotten me?" The girl named Baihime said loudly, "You lived in my shrine for six days, you said I still remember every sentence very clearly!"

"You said that it was not my fault that I was beaten on the street. Someone deliberately bullied me, so you don't have to blame yourself for it. You also said that I am very brave, and you have seen it."

"You also taught me how to dance Kagura dance. Even though I was so stupid, you didn't bother me. I practiced Kagura dance for a whole year, and it never stopped in the wind and snow. I just wanted to show you the dance again when we meet again. I did it!"

"My elder brother deliberately made trouble for you and caused you to cut your hand with a knife, so I drove them out, but you are an idiot who doesn't know pain or fear, so much blood has flowed! You What an idiot! Idiot! Why don’t you know how to cherish yourself? Why don’t you know how to protect yourself? Why do you let them bully you like that!?”

"Later, I took you to the back mountain of the shrine to see cherry blossom trees and fireflies, and I took you to the night market at the gate of the shrine. Don't you remember?! You said that your mother forbade you to eat snacks for fear of damaging your teeth." It doesn't look good when you smile, but I still forced you to eat soy sauce dumplings, you said it was so sweet, you still laughed, I remember very clearly, you really laughed at that time!"

"We clearly made an appointment. When you come to Edo next year, I will take you to see the cherry blossoms, eat sakura dumplings, yokan, and honey cake. When we grow up, I will... I will take you to drink rice wine... But you never came back, I wrote you a lot of letters, but I couldn't send any of them, but I really did, I did!"

The child stretched out his small hand and touched the girl's face in confusion: "Why are you crying? Stop crying, okay?"

"And this! This bell!" The girl raised the silver bell on her wrist and shook it for him desperately, "You gave it to me too! I gave you a small unsharpened knife, I thought you wouldn't need to Cutting your hands again, I'm so stupid! I don't know how those people hurt you, not with knives at all!"

"Little God of the Bliss Sect, I have not forgotten! I have firmly remembered everything about you! Even if they pushed me into the river, I have not forgotten! I know we will meet again one day , when we meet, I will definitely tell you all these words!"

The kid gave a small smile.

"You are really stupid. If you are pushed into the river, you will die."

"I'm not dead! I'm standing in front of you!" cried the girl named Bai Ji, "I want to see you again, so I dedicated my soul to the gods. But I told you clearly that life is Incomparably precious things must be cherished and not given up! Why do you give up?! How can you give up?!"

"That's right, life is... a very precious thing, so cherish it." The child said softly, "That's what I told those two children when I met them in Yoshiwara."

"That's right! You said you failed to save anyone, but you obviously saved that pair of brothers and sisters! You have taken in many people! You saved me too! I still have so many things I want to do with you! You If you dare to give up like this, I will never, never forgive you! Even if you are still in hell in the next life, I will still haunt you! I will never let you go!"

"You are really... so fierce, I have never seen a girl as powerful as you." The boy smiled softly, "Although I don't remember what you said, but I don't know why, I believe you, Bai Ji …Miss."

The girl froze for a moment, then hugged him tightly and burst into tears.

"Yes, that's my name! Please, don't forget this name! Be like me, desperately...survive!"

The scorching hot stream hit my barrier heavily, making a loud noise that shook the sky.The man named Ji Guoyuanyi almost burned the undead, and a series of lightning-fast slashes landed on the surface of the barrier.

I had to withdraw from the world of thoughts, grabbed the knife and went up, the giant water snake rose again and slammed into his sun wheel knife fiercely.

The pain in the body was unbearable, blood and spiritual power began to overflow from the spirit body, mixed into the transparent water, and scattered in the air into large patches of pink.

Alas, sure enough, if you forcibly use too much power of the gods without the god body, the spirit body will be broken.

But this color is like cherry blossoms... the kind of cherry blossoms that are scattered under the blue sky in spring in Edo Castle, like heavy snow.

"Are you injured? Why...you have to do this?" the man wielding the knife said with some astonishment.

"Because behind me is the person I love, Your Excellency Yuanyi." I smiled, "Do you need any reason to protect the person you love? Even if he becomes a ghost, in my eyes, he is still the same as before." How can I allow myself to lose him again when I failed to protect him once? This kind of feeling...a person who is favored by the gods like you...wouldn't understand at all?!"

Onward...forward...for as long as you live.

I absolutely, absolutely will not admit defeat!

For some reason, the tall purple-clothed swordsman appeared in his mind.

Just like when he was teaching me, silently and solemnly, staring at me with six ghost pupils.

——I don't have enough strength to swing the sword, so I can't cut open the monster's body with one blow like you.

——It’s not because of your strength, but because of your lack of killing intent.

Lord Hei Si Mou, I’m sorry, I’ve never been able to have a strong killing intent, because I was originally a shrine maiden, and a maiden is a person who prays for and helps people, and will never take up arms.

But I still... still try to fight like you, like a samurai.

I lowered my body and rushed forward fiercely.

What should this move be called?Such an ugly Iai Zhan, which doesn't look like Iai Zhan, is embarrassing every time it is used.

But you said that it is good to be flexible in tactics.

"Mosang Dragon·Desolate Moon Slash!"

I will never learn the breath of the moon, but please allow me to borrow you a month word, because you taught me, with a firm heart, to go the way I want to go, if there is any hesitation, just cut it off.

The bright silver knife tip pierced through the air, piercing through the layers of Yang Yan, and drawing an arc-shaped trajectory upwards, like a new moon rising in the darkness.

The white paper on the red-clothed god's face suddenly shattered, revealing a young and handsome face, except for the flame-like markings on the forehead and the quiet eyes, the eyebrows and contours resembled his elder brother's.

Ah, was Master Hei Si Mou such a handsome and bright person when he was still a human being?

He took a few steps back, touched the thin bloodstains on his face, and suddenly stopped attacking.

"I understand, please don't continue."

A man named Ji Guo Yuanyi stared at me, his eyes were also glowing like flames, but his eyes were surprisingly gentle.

"I'm not a person who likes to kill." He said softly, "I don't like to fight either. I came to this world just to kill without misery."

The other party's breath was calm and gentle, indeed not like a swordsman, but more like a priest.

I was about to speak when I heard a lazy voice behind me say:

"Hey, it's great that you think so. After all, if we continue to fight, we don't know what will happen?"

The ghost smiled and walked to me, shaking his fan. While he wasn't paying attention, I quickly wiped off the blood on my body, but I couldn't stop the choked up voice:

"Master Tong Mo, welcome back."

"I really can't help it, Xiaoran has to teach others like this every time, even if she wants to be lazy." The ghost sighed exaggeratedly, "Forget it, forget it, he is a kind person, and he hates girls crying the most. , I will grant your wish~”

Then he narrowed his rainbow pupils and looked at the swordsman opposite us with a playful expression.

"Your Excellency Yuanyi, we should have had enough fun, right? The ones you burned just now are undead, and they will be burned as soon as they are burned, but there are still many human souls in hell, I don't mind using them Oh. But if you burn it too, you won’t be able to reincarnate. It’s so pitiful, so pitiful~” The ghost pretended to shed a few tears, “You really have the heart to watch other people’s souls dissipate Is it? Your elder brother is just now... Woohoo, I am so sad, Master Hei Si Mou has been my good friend for hundreds of years..."

The ghost changed his face too quickly, I stared at him dumbfounded, speechless.

However, the man on the opposite side asked softly:

"My brother... what kind of person is he?"

I looked back at him in astonishment, only to see that God-like Swordsman of the Sun with a bewildered and lonely expression like a child.

"You said he was your good friend, so can you tell me what kind of person he is?"

Master Hei Si Mou, what kind of person is he?

I don't know, because I still haven't been able to walk into his heart.

He is like the bright moon in the sky, illuminating the night, but always in the cold darkness.

"Master Hei Si Mou loves Your Excellency Yuan Yi."

Tong Mo beside me said suddenly.

"Although Shangxian seldom communicates with each other, I know that he has been aiming at Your Excellency Yuanyi for more than 400 years, honing his sword skills desperately, even beheading all the people who will breathe the sun together with Mr. Wu Mi Swordsman, but he told us that those are inferior fakes, and they can't compare with Your Excellency Yuanyi's sword skills that tend to be transformed."

"Although I can't understand what kind of emotion this is, it should be considered love, right? By the way, I have seen it. The thing he has been keeping is also belonged to His Excellency Yuanyi. It seems to be a flute or something. What? Hehe, it's really unimaginable that the majestic and stable Master Heishi Mou has been carrying such things that children only play with."

The swordsman in front of him opened his eyes slightly, with an expression of disbelief.

"Impossible...brother... how could he..."

I took out the rough flute from my pocket and handed it to him.

"Is it this thing? I just picked it up when I saw Master Hei Si Mou throwing it on the ground. This kind of thing called fetters is often the most persistent thing when people are alive. It is entrusted with longing and unforgettable memories. So even after death, it will exist around us in the form of a spirit body. Ji Guoyuanyi, the person your elder brother misses the most in this world may be you."

The swordsman named Yuanyi took the flute, held it carefully with the hand holding the sword, looked at it quietly for a while, and then made a move that I couldn't understand.

He put the flute to his mouth and blew it with all his might.

Of course, the flute formed by the mind will not make any sound, but as if he could really hear the sound of the flute at the bottom of this hell, he tried so hard and earnestly to play it.

I was surprised to see tears rolling down the face of the son of the god named Ji Guoyuanyi.

No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't play the flute, so he could only stop, looking at the endless necromancer hell, and murmured:

"Why...for 400 years, I never knew...brother...why are you always so resolute...abandoning Yuanyi..."

"'Blow it when you want to ask your brother for help'...you obviously said that...you obviously promised Yuanyi...why do words count? Didn't you say...samurai...the most important thing is faith?"

The Son of God squatted on the ground, crying like a child.

I suddenly understood that the so-called sons of God are just people who have been deprived of everything by the gods.

Relatives, friendship, family... For that special "favor", they can't have anything.

On the gorgeous and majestic altar, the holy man who is looked forward to by everyone has only infinite coldness and emptiness in his hands.

This is the price that must be paid by those who bear the fate of others and bestow "salvation". However, they may not know the price they have paid for this dazzling glory throughout their lives.

I sighed lightly.

"Your Excellency Yuanyi, please forgive me. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that to you."

The swordsman stood up, but didn't look back at us.

"You don't need to apologize, I really...haven't understood brother's feelings." His voice was gentle and lonely.

"My elder brother became a ghost, my wife and children were killed by ghosts, and I couldn't protect any of them in the end...I'm just a worthless man."

"Can you... promise me one thing?"

I froze for a moment: "What's the matter, tell me."

"Please don't...let ghosts take someone else's loved one. Now that you know what it's like to lose a loved one, please don't let the same thing happen to someone else."

"I... want to promise you very much, Your Excellency Yuanyi."

I said softly.

"However, this should not be something that I can do as I say. It is indeed too difficult to prevent ghosts from eating people... But I have also given up human flesh and blood. I believe he can do this too. It just takes time."

"Eh? Eh? Are you talking about me?"

The ghost next to him suddenly pointed at himself and interjected.

I glanced at him speechlessly, "Yes, Mr. Tong Mo, there seems to be no second ghost here."

"Xiao Ran is so stupid, what's so difficult about this kind of thing? Just promise him." Tong Mo folded his arms and looked as if it was a matter of course, "Isn't it just that I don't eat human beings? Your Excellency Yuanyi, I am a very good person. I promise you."

ha?Did I hear you right?Dignified winding part [-], girl lovers in various senses, what kind of water has entered the brain to say such a thing?

Ji Guoyuan nodded.

"Let's go, the door I came from should lead to the outside, and you can go out if you keep walking."

I stared at his back, which was as tall as Master Hei Si Mou, with long hair combed into a high ponytail, but slightly curly, and the feathers on his body were also fiery red.

The figures of the two brothers overlapped in front of my eyes, I only felt tears in my eyes, and I bent down deeply towards the back.

"Thank you...for the trust you entrusted to me."

"Let's go, Xiaoran, hurry up~" The ghost had gone away happily.

I walked a few steps, looked back, and found that he was still standing there, looking into the distance and wondering what he was thinking.

Probably each of us has someone we miss and a reunion we look forward to.

"Your Excellency Yuanyi." I called him, "There is one more thing. There is a female ghost named Zhu Shi here, do you know her?"

The swordsman turned his head and looked at me suspiciously.

"Zhu Shi? I know her, did she also come to hell? But she escaped Wu Mi's control a long time ago."

"She insisted on atonement for her dead husband and child here. We met before, but Tong Mo didn't kill her, but just sealed her blood ghost technique." I said, "Please take her out of here, The ghosts see her as a traitor, and I worry that sooner or later the other ghosts will find her."

"I see." The swordsman nodded, "Please take care."

"The same goes for you. If there is a chance, we will see you in this world."

"Xiaoran, hurry up~"

Tong Mo stood in front of the golden door and called me with a smile.

I ran over and grabbed his hand and walked through the door with him.

On the other side of the door is an endless white wasteland.The immaculate white color and the biting cold made me stunned for a moment, but I quickly reacted.

"This is the ice hell, Master Tong Mo."

"Eh? Can't you go out?" The ghost complained, "I wanted to fool that stupid Mr. Yuanyi a little bit, so I promised him that I would stop eating people, but did I go to the wrong place? But people in this place I really like it~ Hey, this seems to be glowing, Xiaoran?"

He held up the piece of Yushen Body Fragment to show me, the bones and corners of the snake god exuded a faint golden light, which was particularly dazzling against the backdrop of ice and snow.

I smiled and said, "That's right, my Yushen Body should have been sealed somewhere here."

"Hey! That's really great! I want to see Xiaoran become a god!" Tong Mo happily clapped his hands, "Let's go~"

I took a step, and there was a soft "click" in my ear.

It wasn't the ice under my feet, but my left arm and a part of my shoulder, which suddenly crumbled into golden dust under Tong Mo's astonished gaze.
