I'm just an ordinary person passing by

The voice is not loud, but it is very clear, the tone is not real, but very sincere.

Even if you don't understand human beings, even if you are completely different from human beings, as long as you understand me, that's enough.

Not happy that you still have a human being who understands, but glad that I am the only human being you understand.

Maybe Bai Mu himself didn't notice this, but there is no doubt that Bai Mu really thought so in his heart.

People are selfish, maybe Bai Mu has a world in his heart, but to Bai Mu, his relatives are always more important than others.And the existence that I care about, of course I hope that I can also care about myself...

Compared with the system being able to understand all human beings in the world, what Baimu hopes more is that the system can understand itself as the only one.

Such sincere words made the system stunned. It didn't reply for a long time, and then it took a long time to react before it came to its senses.

[You you you you, what are you talking about?What do you mean understand you?I don't understand you, I don't understand you at all... I, I don't want to understand you... Ah, what are you talking about, no, what am I talking about... Stupid, perverted... .Mmmmmmmmm...you are a bad person, I ignore you! 】

After the system finished speaking in a panic, it disappeared all of a sudden. Although it didn't see anyone, a girl with a blushing face and ran away appeared on the white screen.

You are really cute, Tong...I mean it positively this time, really cute...

But next time, if possible, can I use Kugimiya's voice?

Haha... Just kidding, just kidding... The system's own voice is fine... Compared to Kugimiya's voice, the system's own voice is better...

Ah, speaking of which, does the system have its own voice?

While thinking like this, Shiroku looked at Nakano Nino.

The system is done coaxing, then the next step is Nakano Nino...

He brewed his emotions a little bit, looked at Nakano Nino who gradually calmed down, and slowly opened his mouth...

"It is not unprecedented for human beings to become monsters, nor has it never existed. However, changing from humans to monsters will indeed scare humans."

"Humans and youkai are enemies... at least in general terms."

"Monsters attack humans. Onmyojis fight against monsters, and humans and monsters have been fighting each other for a long, long time."

"In my era, in my era, there were many battles between humans and demons. My uncle would turn into a ghost. It was because I heard too many such things and got bored, so I became a ghost."

"It's only natural that you refuse to become a monster, but don't be so desperate. If you don't want to become a monster, I can help you."

The ghost king's words attracted the attention of others, both Nakano Nino and Yu Yihu looked at the ghost king involuntarily.

"But, can you...keep me from becoming a monster? Really...can you?"

"When a person becomes a monster, I really know it, but people who are about to become a monster... can turn back into a human again... I really haven't heard of this."

Humans have always changed into demons. When did demons change into humans... No, although it is not as common as that of humans into demons, it is not uncommon.

She remembered that in the huge thousand-year-old ancient country Huaxia to the west, there were some monsters who turned into humans...even those fairy gods turned into humans.

But... After a person becomes a monster, he becomes a human again... This is really unheard of.

Ghost King... Can you even do this kind of thing?

"It's just a small trick. It's no big deal."

Seeing the thoughts in the hearts of one person and one demon, the ghost king explained very calmly.

"There are several reasons why people turn into demons."

"One is because of resentment. If enough resentment is generated in the midst of pain and suffering, the resentment will turn into demonic energy and turn people into demons. The bride is one of them."

"One is to attract the evil spirit unconsciously, and complete the transformation from human to demon without knowing it. Qing Xingdeng slowly turned into a monster in the story of Baimonugatari, and finally helped himself completely Complete the final step of transforming the demon."

"There is another kind that is naturally born when the world is dark and the killing is excessive... The world is disrupted, killing and war will breed darkness, and when this darkness is carried on a person, it will directly make him a monster. My uncle is That's how it came."

"Except for these, the others are considered special cases, not the general public. Nakano Nino also belongs to one of them."

"But it's not the second type, but the third type..."

"The third kind?"

Both Yuyihu and Nakano Nino were a little surprised, because they both felt that if they had to choose, Nakano Nino would be most suitable for the second type.

The first type does not fit, because Nakano Nino has a happy life and has no other injuries except childhood.

The third type does not fit, because in this world... there is no war, no killing, isn't this very peaceful?

Therefore, it seems that the most suitable one should be the second one.

But... why is it the third type?

"Are you surprised? Heh...Indeed, when I first came to this era, I really thought that this era was a peaceful era, with no wars and no darkness. However, when I thoroughly understood this era, I realized that You know, this era is another Heian era."

"Old fox, don't you think that the Heian era is very similar to this era?"

The Heian era and this era are... very similar?

Yu Yihu was stunned for a moment, she didn't quite understand why the ghost king would say that. In her opinion, this era is as prosperous and prosperous as the Heian era, and at the same time, it lacks the hypocrisy and filth of the Heian era. It was a better era than the Heian era, but why... the king of ghosts said that?

The lord of demons and monsters in Xijingdu didn't quite understand it, but after she thought deeply and compared the two eras, her black and white pupils suddenly widened.

So that's how it is...that's how it is... no wonder the King of Ghosts would say that, no wonder...

Indeed, the Heian era and this era are very similar...really similar...as if carved out of the same mold!

This era is as prosperous as the Heian era. This era is as prosperous as the Heian era. In this era... everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and the country is prosperous and prosperous. It seems like a country that only exists in the story.

But... This era is the same as the Heian era... Behind this prosperity, there is still an unknown darkness.

Maybe these darkness can't break into people's field of vision, even in this era, in this city, you can only see the prosperity and darkness of nakedness, dew and sea.

But...youkai are different from humans. Youkai don't rely on the so-called naked eyes, but the so-called...darkness.

The frighteningly huge darkness hidden under the city...is the true face of this era...

Chapter 270 VII It's Your Heart That Determines Your Identity

The Heian era, in people's minds, should be a very beautiful and prosperous era.

In the minds of the Japanese, the Heian era is the most famous and most yearned-for era among many eras.

This era was located after the Nara period. At the end of the Nara period, the conflict between the imperial court and the aristocratic forces intensified. In order to weaken the power of the powerful nobles and monks, Emperor Kanmu decided to move the capital from Nagaoka to Heiankyo in the Yamashiro country at the end of the eighth century. Prepare to build a new capital and name it Ping An, hoping to obtain peace, auspiciousness, tranquility and peace.

And because Heian-kyo was completed in 790 AD, historians often regard 790 as the beginning of the Heian Dynasty, although many authoritative historians in the world and in Japan regard the time when the capital was moved in 780 as the official start time of the Heian Dynasty .

But which of these two times is the main one is not what we should consider.

After the capital was moved to Heian-kyo, at the beginning of the Heian era, through a series of reforms by Emperor Huanmu, the power of the royal family was revived briefly, showing a prosperous side.

At the same time, in addition to the economy, culture, communication, songs, clothing, and many other things began to develop in the Heian period.

All Japanese know that the Heian period was the most prosperous era of Japanese culture.

Therefore, many people highly respect the Heian period.

Especially youkai and characters that appeared in the Heian period.

The Genji Clan who wiped out monsters, Yinyangliao and Abe Seimei who exterminated monsters, and the Dajiangshan evil spirits who ruled one side and commanded all ghosts.

These brilliant characters and prosperous culture are even more fascinating.

However, is the Heian era really beautiful?

No...not good, at least in the eyes of Shuten-douji, the Heian era was an extremely terrible era.

In other eras, although the economic and cultural center would definitely be the capital, there are other capitals that can compete with it and become famous all over the world.

But in the Heian period, there was only one city that was famous all over the world, and only one city was extremely prosperous.

In that era, Heian-kyo was the only city that people could rely on and yearn for.

Countless people who lost their homes due to the war came to Heian-kyo in shabby clothes, hoping to enter Heian-kyo and get shelter and food. However, Heian-kyo is not their Heian-kyo. exist.

Heian-kyo does not accept refugees who come from afar. It simply builds fences around Heian-kyo to let refugees in. It is neither responsible for food nor shelter.

Those refugees came to Ping'an capital through untold hardships, spent the last bit of money and the last grain of food in the family, but in the end they got such a result. They wanted to leave, but where could they go without money and food?

In the end, it was just starving to death or freezing to death on the periphery.

Everyone has only seen the prosperity in Ping'an capital, but they don't know that there are many bones outside Ping'an capital...

In fact, many people associate economy and culture together, thinking that culture will develop only when people live and work in peace and contentment, but they don’t know that culture will not only develop when the economy is prosperous, but also develop when experiencing recession and social turmoil... ..

And after all, Japanese monster legends appeared long before the Heian period, but why?Will it develop to its peak in the Heian era?

Because the appearance of youkai is the condensation of Japan's darkness, the more prosperous and popular youkai are, it proves that the darkness of that era is deeper.

The Heian era is an era that belongs to Heian-kyo, and it is also an era that belongs only to Heian-kyo.

In that era, the only thing people could know was Heian-kyo, and apart from Heian-kyo, those terrible darkness were all forgotten...

And this era... this era at this moment is just like the Heian era.

Although it seems to be full of prosperity and prosperity, in fact, there are countless darkness hidden in the dark.

The extreme darkness hidden under this city, untouched, untouched...

Fragile cities built on false prosperity, greed to reach heaven with human power, and this dreamy future... Abe Seimei's words are correct. Human beings are a group of people who don't understand A creature that has learned its lesson.

The lesson they have learned from history is to forget history...

Humans repeat their mistakes every time.

They recuperate, they provoke wars, they indulge their greed, and they wreak havoc on nature.

They define themselves as the primates of all things, and believe that they are the masters of the world, but they don't know that in front of nature, their power is so weak that it is indescribable...

Even now, even at this moment, such mistakes are still going on...

Hagoromo looked deeply at Shuten-douji.

She saw the darkness and felt the darkness...the darkness...not what they felt before.

The darkness in the past was despair and fear, as if there was no end in sight, but the darkness now is depression and silence. There is an end in front of you, but you can't reach it no matter what.

Two eras, two distinct darknesses.

But the darkness at this moment is even more... frightening...

In the Heian era, even in despair, some people still stood up and roared in the form of monsters and culture, but in this era, darkness binds people. Those human beings who once had self-awareness, independent thinking, and unconstrained style, became its slave.

They walked and walked in the dark like walking dead, until they reached the end of their lives, but they couldn't reach the end that seemed within reach...

This is... the darkness of this age... this is... the darkness of this world...

Even for the feather fox, this is the first time he has seen such darkness...

It is simply more terrifying than the darkness of the Heian era...

So... was Nino the one chosen by such darkness?

"So that's why the Ghost King was able to help Er Nai..."

Because they are all darkness, and they are all people chosen by darkness. If it is another type, the ghost king may not be able to do anything, but since it is the same type of existence as the ghost king, then the ghost king can make a move.

——As long as the ghost king replaces Nakano Nino and becomes the existence chosen by the darkness, then the ghost king can reverse this change!

only......

Yuyihu's heart trembled a little... If such darkness gathered on one person, what kind of monster would it produce?

Although Shuten-douji is an active existence in the Heian era, in the story, Shuten-douji should have lived through the Nara era and the Heian era, so Shuten-douji theoretically carries the darkness of the two eras.

The darkness of the battlefield, the darkness of killing, and the darkness of society.

It's not without reason that Shuten-douji would be so strong.

And now...the girl in front of her.

If she also bears this kind of darkness, then her strength... I am afraid she will be the next Lord of Demons and Monsters...

Pity......

Feather Fox was a little pity.

Nakano Nino, who inherited such a powerful darkness, is fully capable of becoming the next master of ghosts and monsters, and may even become a side-by-side existence with Shuten-douji.

But such a bright future...

No...Maybe giving up is her light.

The dark-haired woman closed her eyes and smiled slightly.

She is not a human being, so she cannot understand the thoughts of human beings, but if Nino Nakano, who is a human being, said so, then, even if she feels a little helpless in her heart, she will still choose to accept...
