I didn't expect you to be such an onmyoji.

In the Xintai forest on a summer night, there was a coolness penetrating into the skin, and there were several howls of unknown beasts in the depths of the forest. The young Seimei sat between the roots of the trees, in a state of embarrassment.

He picked up a leaf that was stuck on the long sleeve with his hand, and slowly squeezed it into his palm, his eyes were a little gloomy.

Yuan Dongshi was standing beside the tree, stepping on the soft leaves, the lantern in Qingxing Deng's hand illuminated the square inch of her body, enveloping her whole body in the light beam, she wanted to take a step towards Qingming. One step later, Qing Xingdeng's cold hand wrapped around her wrist again, her steps froze, and she turned her head, only to see Qing Xingdeng standing behind her, leaning into her ear, and said with a soft smile, "Miss Persimmon, Even Seimei-sama, who is now elegant and seems to be wandering outside of Heian-kyo, was once so bewildered and resentful."

She let go of Yuan Dongshi's wrist, a pair of blue eyes with a little smile: "You are a listener who stays out of the matter, don't be addicted to weird talk and can't extricate yourself."

On the other side, the girl Ah Deng watched Qingming crush the fallen leaf with a strange look in her eyes.

The boy who appeared in Shinta Forest late at night had gloomy eyes. Although he was still a child, he already had a surprising aura.

She swallowed, and asked tentatively: "You said you hate monsters, but you are actually monsters?"

Qingming slowly turned her head to look at her, without any expression in her eyes, while A Deng has completely confirmed her guess. She has loved collecting ghost stories since she was a child, but she has never really encountered a ghost. Ignorance is fearlessness. She entered the Shinta Forest late at night , I just wanted to experience it for myself. Now that I really saw the demon boy, I was both excited and a little scared.

Her eyes lit up, Chao Qingming moved closer, and asked, "Do you have fangs?"

"It is said that there are foxes that have lived for thousands of years in the forest of Xintai." She asked again, "Are you a fox?"

Qingming looked at her, and after a while, those black pupils with gloomy colors shone with golden light, Yuan Dongshi frowned when he saw it, and said, "He's not Qingming."

Qing Xingdeng asked with a smile: "How did Miss Dongshi know?"

Yuan Dongshi shook his head, frowned and said, "I don't know, but he's not Qingming."

Qingming, no matter how gloomy she is, she is not what she is now.

The light of the lantern in Qing Xingdeng's hand dimmed a little. At this time, the young girl, Ah Deng, had already sensed the dangerous aura of the boy in front of her. She took a step back and said with a forced smile, "Just now... I was joking."

But Qingming, who was originally sitting between the tree roots, had slowly stood up. He brushed off the fallen leaves and dirt on his clothes, lowered his head, and asked, "Didn't you want to ask me if I have fangs?"

He raised his chin slightly and smiled, the fangs between his lips showed a cold light.

Yuan Dongshi suddenly opened his eyes wide, but A Deng was already stunned, his hands trembling slightly, the warm-colored lantern slipped from her hands, and fell on the ground covered with fallen leaves, the tongue of fire licked the lantern paper , the fierce flames danced in her eyes, her scream was hoarse in her throat, and she took a few steps back hastily.

Seimei with long fangs slowly approached him, obviously he was just a child, but already had an adult's cruel smile on his face, Yuan Dongshi clenched his sleeves tightly and took a step forward, while Qing But Xing Deng took her wrist one step ahead of her, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Dongshi, this is just a strange story."

Yuan Dongshi turned his head away, Qing Xingdeng was still dressed in a cool look, with a smile in his eyes, calm and leisurely.

"This is not just a strange story." Yuan Dongshi said with a sinking heart, "This actually happened."

Qing Xingdeng smiled and said nothing.

"Who is he?" Yuan Dongshi asked, "He's not Seimei."

Qing Xingdeng smiled and said, "He is Abe Seimei, the 'other' Abe Seimei."

And the child with Qingming's appearance was already grinning grinningly, pinched Ah Deng's neck with his immature hands, raised his voice, and said, "Yes, I hate monsters, but I am a monster." He looked delicate and cute There was a distorted and cruel smile on his face, "Don't you like ghost stories very much, hey, isn't this just a ghost story?"

Ah Deng was strangled by him, her eyes were wide open, and she coughed involuntarily. She grabbed the monster's sleeves scratched by the branches with both hands in mid-air.

If this continues, she will undoubtedly die.

At this time, the expression on the monster's face froze, and he let go of the hand that was pinching Ah Deng, and Ah Deng slipped from his hand, knelt on his knees, and then fell to the ground with absent-minded eyes.

And her lantern that fell on the ground has been eaten away by the flames, and the tongue of the flame rolled around the broken leaves and dead branches on the ground. With the dead branches, they rolled up the corners of her clothes.

The surrounding area was brightly illuminated by the fire, and a few sparks flew lightly into the air. The originally quiet and gloomy Xintai Forest seemed to be slowly awakened by the fire.

Yuan Dongshi was relatively close, and she could almost feel the fiery air waves blowing against the hem of her clothes and the corners of her sleeves. She shielded her face with her wide sleeves, and then heard a childish voice: "Get out."

She shook her hand, put down the hand covering her face, and looked at the monster. The monster stood still in the fire, but it seemed unaffected by the fire. It only lowered its eyes and said slowly: "Get out."

Yuanfuyu opened his eyes wide. Although his appearance and voice were the same as before, this feeling was indeed Seimei.

Who is he telling to get out?

Wisps of black air gradually floated up from the young Qingming's body. The black air wrapped around his side and gradually gathered into the shape of a person. laughing.

At the same time, Yuan Dongshi felt a sinister aura with strong malice.

Qingming continued: "Get out of my body."

Yuandongshi was a little surprised, this thing actually existed in Seimei's body?

The smoky figure smiled and said, "I am you, and you are me."

The tone is exactly the same as Seimei, but with a mocking smile, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

"I am not you, and you are not me." Qingming said, "I am a human, and you are a monster."

The smoky figure looked up and laughed a few times, and said, "If you are a human, then I am a human, and if you are a monster, then I am a monster. You are Abe Seimei, and I am Abe Seimei."

The flames intensified, and almost surrounded Seimei's A Deng who was already lying on the ground. Yuan Dongshi stood at the other end of the fire. Although he knew that these were just Qing Xingdeng's memories, Sei Ming did not die here, but he still felt Cold sweat broke out in her palms. She searched for Qingming from the cracks in the firelight. When her left foot stepped out of the blue light of the lantern, she felt a pain in her toes that seemed to be burning. She retracted her feet reflexively, and heard Qing Xingdeng smiled and said, "Do you know why I pulled you back?"

Yuan Dongshi wanted to go forward before, but was pulled back by Qing Xingdeng. She didn't take it seriously before, but now she felt the pain on her toes as if being licked by a ferocious tongue of fire. She was stunned, and turned to look at Qing Xing Deng and Qing Xing Deng were also looking at her with a smile, on a pale and beautiful face, little scorching marks slowly appeared from under the earlobes, spreading to the cheeks.

"You..." Yuan Dongshi opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, and the light of the lantern in Qing Xingdeng's hand suddenly became blazing, just like when she was brought into the Xintai Forest many years ago, she couldn't help closing her eyes, Out of the corner of my eye, I could only glimpse the fiery forest becoming distorted, as if being sucked into the depths of time and space by a vortex.

When he no longer felt the burning of the heat wave on his cheeks, but a gust of cold wind, Yuan Dongshi let out a breath and slowly opened his eyes.

In front of her was still the brightly lit corridor of the Erjo Courtyard, behind her came the charming laughter of the ladies, Qing Xingdeng was standing in front of her holding a blue lantern, with the same pale and beautiful face, the warm yellow light in the corridor seemed to be Unable to warm her body from the cold, a blue-black butterfly circled around her fingers, but there was no life.

She stretched out her finger, and the butterfly landed on her fingertips, its wings slowly opening and closing.

"This is a strange story about Onmyoji and another Onmyoji." Qing Xingdeng blew on the butterfly, and the butterfly flapped its wings again, and flew towards her slowly, finally stopped at her temple, and The bluish-blue hair accessories on her sideburns blended into one.

She smiled at Yuan Dongshi: "Do you like it?"

"You..." Yuan Dongshi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

Outside the scope of the green lamp of Qing Xing Deng is the pain experienced by the young girl Ah Deng at that time.

She was burned alive by the fire.

"After becoming a monster, the human part has already died." Qing Xingdeng said slowly, "I am the monster Qing Xingdeng. The one who died in the fire was a human who loved to collect ghost stories."

Qing Xingdeng said this sentence before, but Yuan Dongshi shook his head and said: "However, the pain I experienced is the same. Qiaoji Chacha and Bone Girl Yudi, even if they become monsters, the identity of a human The obsession of the time has never dissipated.”

Qing Xingdeng looked at her for a while, but smiled, and said, "Miss Dongshi, are you feeling sorry for me?"

Yuan Dongshi was taken aback.

Qing Xingdeng smiled and continued: "Sure enough, as Abe Seimei said, Miss Dongshi is really a soft-hearted person."

She stretched out her hand to gently stroke the hair on the side of Yuan Dongshi, and said: "Actually, without that fire, I would no longer be a human being. Abe Seimei and another Abe Seimei, this is the girl who was still a human at that time. , I like the hundredth ghost story the most."

Collect a hundred ghost stories, and bad things will happen.

Qing Xingdeng said softly: "I will give my one hundredth favorite ghost story to Miss Dongshi." She smiled, "This is the first one for Miss Dongshi."

The beautiful girl carrying a blue lantern slowly disappeared from the warm and brightly lit corridor. Yuan Dongshi stood in the same place in the corridor until a gust of cold wind hit his cheeks, and then he slowly came back to his senses.

The wind brought a few snowflakes, which fell on her shoulders and melted into the fabric of the clothes in an instant. She raised her head, and by the light of the lantern, she saw the fluttering snowflakes.

It's snowing again.

The women who were still playing games in the house opened the curtains and prepared to go back to their rooms to rest. After seeing light snow falling outside the eaves, they all cried out in surprise. When Zi Ji was reaching out to catch the snow, she saw Seeing the figure under the lamp in front, he smiled and said, "Sister Dongshi, you said you were sleepy before, so you ran out to play in the snow?"

As he spoke, he lifted his clothes and trotted to Yuan Dongshi. Yuan Dongshi lowered his head to look at her, smiled and was about to speak, but she opened her eyes wide, looked at Yuan Dongshi's hair, and said: " Wow, sister Dongshi, your hair accessories are so beautiful."

Yuan Dongshi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that Qing Xingdeng stroked her temple hair before leaving.

She reached out to touch her temples, but she touched something like a cold hairpin. She took that thing off from her temples, only to find that it was an extremely exquisitely crafted butterfly hair ornament, which was so glamorous and seductive. Its turquoise blue wings open and close slightly as if alive.
