Chapter 61: Making Space

"Alas...... I originally wanted to make up for ten, but it doesn't matter, the important thing is ......" Ji Ao winked at Jin Hotaru with a confident look.

"Based on the above points, I conclude that there are no humans here!"

"What?" said Hotatsu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"There are no humans here! It's full of monsters!" Ji Ao walked to the window, he opened the window, pointed to the pedestrians coming and going on the street outside, "This, that...... They're all youkai, just like us!"

Jin Ying walked to the window in a few steps, looking at the passers-by hurrying to and fro on the street, the small vendors shouting along the street, the women bargaining with the vendors, the naughty boy who pestered his grandfather who bought candy, and the grandfather who couldn't stand the entanglement of the child, and finally took out his purse......

These are the daily scenes of human society, and Jin Hotaru can't believe that they are all monsters: "No, all the monsters here have become human beings? Why do they do that? What is the point of this? It doesn't make sense at all! There is absolutely no way for such a thing to happen!"

"Makes sense...... I think they're just like us. Ji Ao pressed his hand against the window, and suddenly leaned out of the window, "When they came here, their memories were quietly replaced, making them feel like a human being. ”

"Then, they live as human beings for the rest of their lives, and finally die when they think they are human......" Ji Ao said, carefully observing the passers-by who came and went.

He turned around, jumped up, sat on the windowsill, his legs sticking out of the window, and his sitting posture attracted many passers-by, who looked at him in amazement, and Ji Ao didn't care at all about the eyes of others.

"No......" Jin Hotaru still couldn't imagine such a thing.

“…… But I think that even if they think they are human when they are alive, they will still change back to their original form when they die," Ji Ao continued, "so when 'people' die, they will naturally become youkai again, and people will not be surprised when they see it, because all the dead 'people' will become youkai." ”

At this time, the sound of funeral music and the wailing of loved ones were heard from a distance. They walked from the other side of the street, wearing linen belts and carrying white flags, throwing paper money all the way, and hugging a mahogany coffin. The funeral procession immediately attracted a large number of people to watch the excitement.

"Hahaha, it seems that we are lucky, we just happened to meet the funeral man," Ji Ao laughed with interest, "I bet with you, the 'dead man' lying in the coffin must be a monster!"

"You don't believe it, if you don't believe me, just look at me!" Ji Ao said and looked back at Jin Ying, he immediately jumped down from the window after he finished speaking, and landed right in the middle of the funeral procession, and he reached out and lifted the lid of the coffin.

The family of the deceased immediately made a noise, and angry shouts and shouts were heard, and they came over and surrounded Ji Ao in the middle to confront him.

Ji Ao didn't hear their angry scolding, he waved his hand, pushed all the people who surrounded him a few steps, reached into the coffin, dragged out a monster with six legs, and held it up for Jin Hotaru to see.

His behavior frightened everyone, and soon, it angered them even more, crying, scolding, shouting officers and soldiers, accusations, and the scene was chaotic. Ji Ao threw the monster back into the coffin and closed the coffin lid with his hand.

"Sorry to interrupt, excuse me. He said to them with a pretense of arching his hand.

Before anyone could say anything to him, he disappeared.

Ji Ao, who was back upstairs at the inn, didn't bother to pay attention to the chaos below, he climbed on Jin Ying's shoulder and winked at him: "You believe me now, right?"

"That's exactly ......," Jin Ying had been standing by the window and watching what had just happened.

Jin Ying looked at the coffin in the funeral procession, still puzzled and asked, "The lifespan of our monsters is not the same as the short lifespan of humans, could it be that it will be ...... then?"

"That's not going to be. Ji Ao said and sat opposite Jin Ying, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, he knew what Jin Ying wanted to ask.

He shrugged his shoulders and said, "It is estimated that you can only change your memory, not your physical body, otherwise you won't change back to your original form after death, and you won't be forced into a coffin just to live to the human lifespan...... I didn't find a graveyard along the way, so you shouldn't find either, right?"

"I really don't see that. Jin Hotaru nodded, recalling.

"So I think it must be that these monsters must have been a 'human' for a while, and then their memories were changed and they became another 'human', and the cycle repeatedly. Ji Ao grabbed his chin, he looked at Jin Hotaru and said with a smile, "Otherwise, where will you get so many monsters to supplement the population here?

"I can guarantee that if I go and look at the address I said when I became a human now, there must be so-called my parents and family there!" Ji Ao snapped his fingers for sure.

Jin Ying was very angry when she heard this: "This is really ridiculous...... It's like a puppet show, using youkai as dolls......"

"That's right......" Ji Ao nodded in agreement, "In addition, these dolls also have the advantages of being active, talking, and not easy to break and die, they should be much more interesting than toys and humans......"

"Who is so boring, why would you do this?" shouted Jin Ying, angrily.

Ji Ao said thoughtfully: "Who is it? Why did you do this? I don't know, I just know how difficult it is to make thousands of monsters change their memories and completely make all monsters obey their wishes?"

Ji Ao then analyzed: "Also, where is this? I found out not long ago that the sky here is covered by a "lid", maybe this is a special space, a special place to place us as dolls. ”

"Making space, only gods, spirits, and demons can do that!"

"yes...... Ji Ao squinted at him, "Didn't the old man say that the deer is a horse, the big spirit beast ......?"

"Great Spirit Beast ......"

"Maybe it's not a complete space yet, but since it can make the space like this, it can catch and control so many monsters, I'm afraid it's what Lu Weima saw that day, I'm afraid it's it......"

Jin Ying was silent, wondering where the big monster might be observing him, but he didn't know anything about this "opponent", and the difference in strength between the two sides was really unimaginable.

"What about Yan'er? Where is Yan'er? It shouldn't turn into a human, will it be made into a bird or a chicken at this point?" it ......" Jin Ying suddenly remembered Yan'er, he hurriedly jumped up and grabbed Ji Ao, and shouted loudly.

"Don't panic, don't panic!" Ji Ao hurriedly reassured him, "You think, Yan'er's mana is higher than ours, even we are fine, how can it be easily controlled!"

Jin Hotaru let go of her hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and muttered, "That's what I said......"

But as soon as he saw Lu Qing, who had been standing quietly next to him, although he couldn't understand what they were saying, he was listening very carefully.

"Lu Qing's mana is also higher than ours, but she is also ......" His heart that had just been put down, when he thought of this, he couldn't help but tremble again.

"yes, why are zombies still like this?" Ji Ao grabbed his chin and looked Lu Qing up and down.

He stared at her without blinking, "It's impossible, you and I have returned to normal memory, but she is trapped and can't recall." Hey, zombie, your thousand-year-old Taoism isn't meant to scare people, it doesn't work at all!"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Qing was frightened by him and jumped behind Jin Ying.

"Until she regains her normal memory, she's just a human who is afraid of youkai, so don't scare her. As he spoke, he held Lu Qing's cold hand, Jin Ying felt Lu Qing tremble when he grabbed his hand, and he complained a little about Ji Ao.
