[Onmyoji] Set a small goal first

After leaving Bianhua's sea of ​​flowers, Gui Xuliu gradually realized something was wrong.

There are generally two types of monsters living in the underworld, one is the ghost of the underworld like the flower of the other side, or the monster that originally belonged to the yang world but fell here. Punishment, losing the physical body and never returning to the Yang world.

These monsters are often restricted by many rules in the underworld, and even their strength has been weakened on a large scale, but now she finds that they behave violently and fight with other monsters. This is absolutely abnormal.

The weirdest thing is that the power of these monsters has skyrocketed as if they had received some help, causing the underworld to fall into a chaotic situation where fights cannot be avoided everywhere.

Her strength has not yet recovered. Of course, she should try to avoid this situation as much as possible, but sometimes she will be accidentally involved.

"It smells so good! There are human souls lingering here!"

A civet cat with a gourd on its back blocked Gui Xuliu's way. It walked towards Gui Xuliu shaking its head, with an excited and bloodthirsty smile on its dazed face.

Gui Xuliu frowned, being caught in this kind of place will only attract more evil spirits and monsters.

What happened in the underworld, why do I feel that these monsters are not normal...

Did this civet cat drink too much fake wine?

...Usually, little monsters like this are the best at protecting themselves. It is absolutely impossible for them to jump out and provoke others like this.

The earring on her left ear started to feel hot, but the doubts in her heart increased instead of diminishing. For example, the civet cat in front of her seemed to have no fear of the coercion of the Lord of the Underworld.

Seeing that he couldn't take advantage of the situation to force it back, Gui Xuliu had no choice but to quickly lure the civet cat into a deep sleep with the power of light, and then leave this place quickly to avoid being approached by other monsters.

"Hmm... the time to fulfill my long-cherished wish is finally coming..."

The civet cat didn't forget to smack its lips and rave in satisfaction in its sleep.

Guixu paused, but left in a hurry because she didn't have time to explore its dream, but the ominousness hidden in these words made her very disturbed.

There are monsters with strong yin energy making trouble everywhere, even if they go upstream to the Santu River, they still don't subside. She can now be 100% sure that something must have happened in the underworld——

So far, she has seen so many monsters who disturb the order, but there has never been a worker in the underworld who came out to maintain order.In this way, it also makes sense, why Yan Mo, who has the purpose of seeing through everything, has not sent anyone to find Gui Xuliu who strayed into the underworld until now. I'm afraid it's not because she doesn't know or deliberately ignores it, but because she really has no time to distract herself. .

She carefully concealed her aura, and was alert to whether there would be enemies around her, so it was not difficult for her to find the number of monsters that had gradually decreased since just now.

The originally chaotic and noisy environment became silent at some point. She slowed down and felt that the atmosphere was becoming more and more strange.

This kind of silence is too abnormal, it seems that there is no one in the land.

In the dead silence, she heard a strange "click click" sound, which appeared suddenly and stopped suddenly.

If she had hair on her body at this moment, the hair must be blown up.

Gui Xuliu stood in the same place, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. In fact, after so many years of training, she is no longer afraid of ghosts; but if possible, she still wants to pray to the sky for an Ibaraki tree, which can be used as a town house To ward off evil spirits, it can be released to bite at this time... Oh no, it is to give her the double buff of courage and strength.

At this time, the strange clicking sound sounded again and again.

This time, Gui Xuliu was not frightened anymore, she carefully identified the direction, and while walking in that direction, she guessed in her mind what the thing that would make such a sound would be.

mechanical……

gear……

Could it be that Yan Mo installed an excavator on the edge of the Santu River?

Gui Xuliu, who was ashamed of her associations, decided not to guess randomly, because she has no ability to solve crimes in her life.

In the next second, she saw a girl dancing with a huge doll in her arms.

In the dim light, the strong Yin Qi, and the ferocious plants in the underworld, she twirled and danced lightly with the puppet like no one else, and sometimes there was a mechanical sound of rattling from her body...

It turned out that this girl was also a doll.

So who is manipulating whom?Gui Xuliu seems to have seen a gorgeous and decadent absurd drama, which is full of gloomy tones and strong emotions, but it is too subversive to make people uncomfortable.

"Brother, stay with me forever..."

The voice of the puppet girl was whispering, as light and floating as a feather.

Gui Xuliu was startled by her voice and had goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't help but hugged his arms and rubbed them together, but the sound of friction between the fabrics caught the doll girl's attention.

The girl and her puppet didn't move, but their heads turned to look at her in unison in an instant. Two pairs of inorganic eyes stared at her together, without any human emotion in their eyes.

"Brother, there are people who are disturbing us again."

She only reveals sweet intimacy when she calls her brother, but this extra soft tone is more creepy and terrifying than the rest of the conversation.

Gui Xuliu quickly waved his hand and said, "Misunderstanding! I don't want to disturb you two, you go on, you go on."

The puppet girl paused, as if it took a while to understand what Gui Xu was talking about, then she seemed to be a little happy and turned her head back, pulling her "brother" and continuing to dance together.

Gui Xuliu tried his best to minimize his sense of existence, so he simply sat down and rested for a while and took a look at what was going on with this puppet monster.

The girl looked at her puppet tenderly, and her puppet returned her tender gaze in return. They all lived in a world only for each other, and no one else could touch them.In that world, they are probably standing and dancing together on the most beautiful stage.

It seems that this puppet girl is manipulating the big puppet, but she clearly has a human soul... Gui Xu stayed silent for a while, trying to probe into the strange depths of the soul.At this time, a sudden change occurred, and the big puppet suddenly fell to the ground as if it had lost its strength, and fell down unbearably.

A look of panic appeared on the indifferent face of the puppet girl. She knelt down and shook her puppet, saying, "Brother? What's going on? Is my brother not strong enough?"

She called to the puppet, although it was a doll's body, it seemed as if she could shed tears from her eyes.

"It's not that his strength is not enough, but yours is not enough."

A girl's voice appeared behind her, and the puppet girl stopped crying, with cold hostility in her eyes.

Gui Xuliu stood not far behind her, and she couldn't help lamenting the fate of the "brother and sister" dolls. Although her power was quite laborious in the underworld, she still did not hesitate to release the power of light.

Dots of starlight turned into fireflies and flew towards the puppet's body, wrapped around its body, soaking its heart.

The doll girl felt the warmth of this force, subconsciously did not resist its arrival.

"Don't worry, then he can speak again."

Gui Xuliu smiled soothingly at the doll girl with a pale face.

The puppet girl froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered...

In fact, brother, he hasn't spoken to her for a long time.

She was called a puppeteer by other monsters; however, after so long, she almost forgot that she was originally a human?

When she was human, only her brother accompanied her, but suddenly one day, she was brought to a strange old man.

The room was pitch-black, and fragments of dolls were hanging, placed, and falling everywhere, and there were also many mutilated dolls lying lifelessly on the workbench.

The old man giggled at her and told her it was all a failure.

She couldn't understand what the old man was talking about, but her thoughts gradually went blank with severe pain, her body was cut, polished, and watered... All pain, fear, and all human emotions disappeared in the process of being transformed .

She suddenly understood what the old man said was a failure.

She thought she was destined to die, but just then, a hot heart was sealed in her hollowed out chest cavity.

Her spiritual power was rekindled, and at that moment, only the deepest memory was pulled out of the sea of ​​consciousness——

"I'm not dead...? Big brother... Is it big brother?"

How she hoped that the person who saved her was her brother.

However, no one responded to her, only a huge puppet fell beside her, looking at her blankly with inhuman eyes.

His wooden chest was open, and there was nothing inside.

The Santu River in the underworld is constantly flowing, and the puppeteer by the river hugged her puppet, which was immersed in a warm golden luster, and murmured:

"Yeah, my brother hasn't talked to me for a long time...since that day, he hasn't talked to me again."

Gui Xuliu walked over, squatted down like a puppet master, and repaired some wounds on the puppet's body from the fight at close range.The wounds appeared to have existed for a long time and must have been severe at the time.

She knew what the puppeteer meant by that day.

Although she just wanted to try it at the time, she really got into the puppet's heart.Or rather, his memories.

This puppet is the pinnacle work created by an old puppet master who is obsessed with researching the combination of human beings and spiritual bodies. Because he was put into a puppet heart, he has human wisdom, thinking ability, and even emotion.

However, he gave this heart to a transformed human girl, the girl monster in front of him.

He can share his "life" with the girl through that "heart", although neither of them has real life at all.

Originally, they could live like this forever, anyway, monsters with average strength would not dare to provoke them.

Until that day, they met the girl's brother again.

The girl didn't recognize that it was her brother, because too many years have passed, and the boy who looked like a boy back then has now become a middle-aged uncle.

But the puppet who is familiar with the girl's memory can recognize him. This man has a good life, a happy family and a prosperous life.

The puppet doesn't understand feelings, he only knows that this person deserves to die, and everything he enjoys is obtained after selling his sister's life.

The puppet kills.

It was in a downtown area, and an onmyoji came forward to sanction him. He fled to the underworld with his sister, but was caught by Yan Mo's men.

Fortunately, Yan Mowang made an exception. He did not lose his "life", but he chose to sleep painfully due to the karmic fire of hell.

No emotion, no language, no power, if you can, what's wrong with just sleeping like this?

He couldn't forget the girl's defense when he gave the man the fatal blow.

In any case, he is a fake "brother".

He's just a heartless puppet.

……

Santu Riverside.

【Hmm... I shouldn't be in hell...】

The puppet raised its stiff arms in the golden light, and there was a creaking sound between the joints.

"Brother! Brother, you can finally move... that's great!"

If the puppet master hadn't lost his human body, he might have been crying with joy at this moment.

Seeing the girl so happy, the puppet's gaze became softer. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that an inhuman puppet could have such emotional eyes.

【Stop fighting with people. 】

The puppet touched the girl's slightly injured forearm with some distress.

"Okay! I listen to my brother and never fight again!"

The girl agreed immediately.

However, the puppet fell down after receiving her reply.

【Actually... I'm not your brother. 】

Gui Xuliu looked at the girl with some concern, and squeezed the Word Spirit Binding in his hands, for fear that the puppet master would do something that he would regret if he got excited.

Unexpectedly, after the silence, the puppet master girl buried her head on the puppet's shoulder and hugged him tightly.

"From the moment you gave me your heart, you are my only brother."

This puppet is willing to offer her heart, why can't she treat him as her brother.

To prevent him from killing people, I just don't want him to be attacked by the Onmyoji again, which will worsen his injuries.

In this world, the most important thing is always him, her only "brother".

The puppets embrace each other tightly. Although none of them can be counted as human beings, it does not prevent the strong affection between them.

Gui Xuliu looked at them quietly, although she was very tired, but her heart was full of soft emotions. If possible, she really wanted to wish them never to be separated.

The puppet master girl helped her puppet brother to stand up, she thanked Gui Xuliu in her surprised eyes, and opened the mechanism on her chest.

"Thank you for letting my brother recover. Since my brother doesn't want me to fight again, then this is not necessary for us...; I will give it to you, kind onmyoji."

The puppeteer said lightly.

A treasure with soft light floated out from the puppet master's chest and landed in Gui Xuliu's outstretched palm in a daze.The moment he touched this object, Gui Xuliu's heart beat violently, and the blood all over his body seemed to be stagnant for a moment and then rushing out of his veins.

"...We're going to sleep here and stay together forever."

After finishing speaking, the girl left with her most important person, maybe this is the best ending for them.

But Gui Xuliu was holding the treasure that gradually dissipated the halo and stood there at a loss——

What the hell is this?

How did she feel familiar with it...

While she was in a daze, a familiar voice called her:

"Liu-chan? Why did you come here!"

She turned around, only to see a girl riding on a soup bowl waving a small handkerchief at her playfully.

Gui Xuliu put away the things in his hands and smiled at the visitor.

"Meng Po, can you take me to Lord Yan Mo? I'm in a hurry to go home."
