[Comprehensive] Why am I not dead yet?

Although I have said so many times and begged so many times, death is not such a simple matter for Lian Su.

"Let me think about it... When I first came to this land, I didn't intend to live for so long."

Lian Su put his palm on the handle of the knife, and actually sat down in this strange atmosphere, probably holding back for a long time, so this time it is rare that he is looking for a chance to be with him like an elderly man. Others muttered: "So, from the very beginning, I went to the place that most represents death in this land——the land of the underworld."

"In the end, even the Queen of Netherworld couldn't let me die, so after staying for a few years, I had no choice but to come out and think of another way to see if I could solve the problem."

Yuyihu opened his mouth tremblingly: "...Queen of the Underworld?"

"Hey, you should be very clear? The mother goddess of Japanese mythology is also the goddess of the filth of the underworld, Izanami, I have to say that I was a little confused at the time because of my own wishes, thinking about pleasing the queen of the underworld, maybe she A method that can give me relief—ah, I accidentally overdid it.”

Lian Su smiled slightly, her voice lowered a little, her expression was gloomy, making it hard to tell whether she was happy or angry: "Anyway, I don't know what's wrong with that lord, and then I took the initiative to say goodbye and left Huang Quan, intending to seek death alone, but was caught The goddess' so-called 'Blessing of the Underworld' has been locked in this land for hundreds of years and cannot leave, even if it is not life, it cannot be death... It is really troublesome."

"I don't know if you can forgive my old man's bad temper?" She smiled in a low voice and stroked the well-maintained smooth long hair of Yuyihu, and said slowly: "Even if I get the blessing of Huangquan, I can go here Anywhere on this piece of land, but so what? I'm not interested in being involved in the human world. I've had enough of karma. You see, even if I stay in Lingshan, someone will involve me in the history of this world ,Right."

Yuyihu gritted his teeth in a low voice and said: "Obviously you said it yourself...you killed Oda Nobunaga?"

"Huh? No, no."

After hearing her words, Lian Su shook her head again and again, correcting her.

"I'm just doing an experiment. Originally, I thought it's okay if there are gods, ghosts and ghosts in this world. In the future, human beings will take away their luck and return to silence. However, the swordsmith who saved him on a whim hundreds of years ago actually used his life The proud masterpiece handed down to me was given to me as a reward, so I became curious."

Yoshimitsu Awataguchi's only one sword in his life was owned by the Asakura family during the Warring States Period, and later belonged to Terumoto Mori, and was presented to Hideyoshi Toyotomi by Mori. The original sword was 2 feet, 8 inches and 3 minutes long. His height was shortened to 2 feet 2 inches 7 cents—this is the fate that Token Fusangshin, who followed Miko Renhime, should have experienced in the first phase.

But now the fate of this knife has been completely changed: without experiencing the vicissitudes of war in the world, hundreds of years have all turned into a peaceful life on the Lingshan Mountain. , In the end, it was all over because of the other party's stubborn refusal.

This is not the known history of Lian Su, and her so-called behavior of returning it to the "correct history" has always ended in failure, which makes her curious.

——Can the history of this world be changed?

Lian Su, who came to this conclusion from Yiqi Yizhen, did an experiment.

She let the monsters attack the team of Oda Nobunaga who was about to come near Lingshan. If she died, it would only mean that her guess was correct.

In the final analysis, it might be that he has some strange plans: this is the cause and effect that angered the original cause, right?Taking action against the crucial Oda Nobunaga, then some existence that guards the world should take measures against her, right?

But unfortunately, no.

After that, what gave her new hope was the demon fox Ge Ye who was kept in Lingshan for recuperation—that is, the mother of onmyoji Abe Seimei, who was reincarnated and resurrected after being hunted and killed by human nobles. Huilingshan is going to see what new tricks this little fox can play.

The fox demon is good at playing tricks on people's hearts by nature, she doesn't need to deliberately teach, as long as she mentions a few words occasionally, she can figure out what she should know by herself. Among them, the excellent baby makes clothes for its own skin, and gradually grows into a whole body by absorbing negative emotions such as greed, anger, hatred, etc. of human beings. This is why she is called a fox in feather clothes. origin.

It seems that Lian Su's shadow can be found everywhere in these matters, but if you want to say that she personally participated, this is not true-in many matters, she is not even a pusher.

The only evidence that she directly shot was the only time that she could actually feel it was the time of Oda Nobunaga, but Oda Nobunaga was already dead, and those monsters who were not well-versed were all killed at that time and did not stay. Without leaving any traces, all that remains are legends that are not known to be true or false.

"People's hearts are a very interesting thing, and so are monsters contaminated with human breath... In many cases, they don't even need to be asked to do anything, as long as they can guess how they will react when they encounter something, such as Oda Nobu Asking for a long time but not getting it will make him give birth to "If you can't use it for me, you will be killed by me", as for you, Ge Ye... Although you are not in my plan, the reaction is expected."

She talked about these past events lightly, with a relaxed and terrifying tone.

"So far, the only uncontrollable element is the slick ghost, but it is only counted, and it is not really uncontrollable."

Nuliang Huapiao, who was placed outside the horizontal line, raised his head when he heard the words. Apart from the sudden change that made him unable to react in shock at the beginning, this time he has regained some sanity, even if more It is the rationality that is forcibly suppressed by being deceived and concealed, and irritated after many times of playing: "Do you mean that you are going to kill me?"

Lian Su sighed, and took off the thick twelve sheets that she had used to cover up Yi Rong before, revealing the plain single clothes underneath. She seemed to ignore the fact that most of the people here were men, and sat down cross-legged carelessly.

She was lying on her knees, with her elbows on top of her, and her light golden long hair slid down her arched shoulders. Lian Su spread her five fingers and brushed back the fallen hair along her forehead. After raising his eyes again, he was full of indifference and impatience: "So I let you go from the beginning, if you don't listen, you will blame me instead."

Nuliang Huapiao was choked by her, and beside her were the meaningful eyes of the members of the Nuliang team, with sympathy, appreciation, disapproval, and gloating. As long as the audience who bought the tickets didn't dare to challenge the terrible woman with unfathomable strength and make her angry and drag the whole Nuliang team to be buried with the fox, she shouldn't do anything to them.

Of course, Nuliang Huapiao also knows this. If he was just that little monster who had nothing at that time, maybe he could go up and make fun of it without fear, but now he is carrying the entire Nuliang team on his shoulders. There is no time to do whatever you want without any scruples.

"You made a very smart choice, Hua Piao." Lian Su looked at Nuliang Hua Piao's uncertain expression for a while, and finally made a conclusion. She stood up with the knife on her lap as a temporary crutch, "At this time, not participating is the real smart kid."

"...Is it true?" Hua Piao asked suddenly, but Lian Su didn't realize it at first: "What?"

"Is it true that you came back from the underworld?"

Lian Su was a little puzzled: "What did I lie to you for?"

Hua Piao twitched the corners of her mouth: "If you are telling the truth, how could you be burned to death by Qing Ji... Don't say that a woman who can even walk out of the land of hell can't beat a little believer, her resentment No matter how deep it is, can it beat death's hell?"

"...Ah, you said this." Lian Su suddenly realized, she flicked her wrist, and a ball of flames apparently bound by external force appeared in the palm of her hand: "You mean this thing? I just looked at Ge Ye at first Wearing human skin to participate in ordinary affairs is very interesting. It happened that Qing Ji was going to burn me to death. I was too lazy to argue with her and finally let her go. Now that it is no longer necessary, I used the puppet I made before as a puppet. I got a new body, and I threw away the body of the terracotta figurine."

And Nuliang Huapiao didn't seem to have listened to her explanation behind, neither puppets nor pottery figurines were heard.

He only grasped one important point——

"... You are going to be burned to death, so casually speaking?"

Lian Su paused, perhaps only this time he realized what the other party was angry with, and casually comforted him not so sincerely: "It's okay, it's okay, there are many ways to die in this world that are worse than burning to death, not to mention Qingji using The demon fire is no better than Fanhuo, and the speed is still very fast."

Nuliang Huapiao's teeth clenched when he heard this, his handsome face was full of gloomy anger.

Lian Su noticed his reaction and didn't take it seriously at all: "Do you think it's a pity, do you think I'm sad? It's better to advise you to take back your sympathy? It's hard for me to react to other people's feelings nowadays, after all If I die, your feelings are just useless things that are a waste of space in my head."

Lian Su glanced at Nuliang Huapiao for the last time, then turned and walked towards the immobile Yuyihu not far away, the fireball in her palm was compressed into a small incandescent light ball.She squatted down, ignoring the screams of the fox demon, and opened the wound on her stomach with her fingers, and drew a strange magic circle on her stomach with the blood of the fox demon on her slender fingers.

"Actually, I've always been curious about one thing, and it's rare that I have the opportunity to try it now - most of the primates I know have separate and independent histories, but mundane dead things like swords are just historical artifacts." A prop is always priceless but not irreplaceable."

So compared to the struggle of human beings, the fate of most of these things is to be traded, bought and sold, given away, and destroyed.

But all things have spirits, even dead things will naturally develop their own consciousness after a hundred years,

History is not irreversible, but human beings will be forcibly reversed back to the correct path by a more terrifying force-this is the restraining force of the world.

But there are exceptions to everything.

"Since swords have spirits, they will naturally regret things... For example, the original owner was killed but they were unable to protect themselves, and they were given away but could not stop themselves. Because they were damaged and unable to protect themselves, they caused the master's death. Although these resentments are thin, But it’s not like there isn’t.”

Her tone was gentle, but she pressed the ball of light into the fox demon's belly with incomparable force. Lian Su listened to the miserable howl in her ears, and calmly rolled up the handkerchief on the side to wipe off the stains on her fingers. of blood.

"Thank you, Ge Ye." Through the veil, she stroked the distorted face of the fox demon due to pain, and said with a light smile: "The history of the fetus in your womb should have ended long ago, even if it is born, it will be destroyed by the world." The restraining force is forcibly cleared, in this case, why don't you just help me do another experiment."

She watched the black smoke from the fox demon's belly gradually form distorted and huge afterimages in mid-air, one, two, ten, twenty—these monsters of different sizes gradually filled the room, compared with What is more is the fox demon's gradually shrinking belly——

"Lian Ji...! My Lian Ji!" Ge Ye screamed and grabbed the wrist of the woman beside him, begging in the most humble tone: "Save him, save my child!"

Lian Su curled the corners of her mouth and leaned slightly.

"—That depends on your choice, Lord Yuyihu." She said with a smile, her voice was low and hoarse, with the power to easily seduce people: "Would you like to try to rewrite your child's original history? "

Ge Ye's eyes widened, watching Lian Su take out a bottle of wine and put it beside her.

"This is the wine brewed by Shuten-douji himself. Just one drop can make even the bones soft. You can get as much demon power as you want--you just need to hold this bottle of wine. As for history, you can also drink it." You don't need to do anything, you just need to amplify the obsession of these swords and souls trying to modify history to save the old master... You should be quite good at this, right?"

"...You, have already planned it, haven't you?"

"You're welcome." Lian Su bent his eyes and smiled beautifully: "I'm at most a knife hander. If someone goes to catch a murderer, can they still catch the knife seller? It depends on whether you accept it or not." Regarding this knife, I didn't force you to make a choice."

Ge Ye said bitterly: "You have done so many things to me...you still say you didn't force me?"

"Tsk, look at what you said, cutting this knife is not coercion, it is revenge." She still had a good temper, not at all annoyed: "I don't mention it, so why don't you just forget about it?" What did you do to me at that time? Just because I didn’t take revenge doesn’t mean I didn’t remember it. As for when to repay the debt and how to change it, that’s my business. "

The fox demon was so angry that she took a deep breath, and the knife wound on her heart hurt so much that she wanted to pass out.

"Even if I promise you, so what?" Yuyihu gnashed his teeth and asked back: "If I can't control these souls, how will you explain it!?"

"Then don't do my business, Ge Ye." Lian Su shrugged, "But if there is a knife that has completely got rid of the original history as a symbol, they will surely follow your idea like moths to the flame. Bar?"

"You even count on your own knife!?"

Lian Su's tone was light: "For me, if I don't bring what I don't take with me, what's the use of keeping it? It's better to stay with you, and I can be sure that you won't do anything to him."

Yu Yihu was so angry with her, but Lian Su still looked very casual.

"How, promise?"

"...Yes!"

——Of course it was her knife. In this land, I spent more time with her than anyone else, and naturally I spent more time listening to her than anyone else.

Whether she is present or not, it is perfectly natural to protect her own knife, but when she is present, it is okay to say that the most she can guarantee after she leaves is to try her best to protect the other party.

So... What kind of reaction will she make in the first period after she leaves, whether she will return to Lingshan for self-protection or do something in a fit of anger, that is not within her jurisdiction.
