Chapter 1: Imaginary Friends
Hell is bigger and bigger than the human world.
Even the abandoned hell, the old hell.
It's just that unlike the hell filled with the souls of the deceased and the Enma ferryers, the old hell that has long been abandoned is only filled with youkai, animals, and resentful spirits that wander out and do not want to be punished. Although there are popular hot springs in the old hell, the number of people who can come and enjoy the hot springs is quite rare, and it is so rare that it is rare. After all, hell – even the old and broken hell – is too dangerous for humanity.
And in the vast old hell, there is a carefree, thoughtless and ignorant girl who is humming a song that she does not understand, wandering freely.
"転生~升天copy,仮生き物に変わるまで~"
"転生~双転生,何度も治そう~"
The short gray-green hair, pale skin, and the young girl in the round top hat stared at the dead fish-like emerald eyes all the time, her gaze was glazed, but there was always a sweet smile on her face, which made her feel extremely eerie and eerie, like a broken doll sitting with her back against a wall and looking directly at herself, completely destroying the advantages that that cute face could bring.
No one could see her face, though.
Because she is the closed eye of love, the one who denounces herself.
Its name, ancient love.
"夜が明けたら,Newをほどいたら~"
"仆は明晩,终わってしまうから~"
The girl sang loudly in the empty old hell, she didn't know why she was singing it, she had never heard it before. All the behaviors of Ran Guming's love for her people have always been illogical, not so much that she is an individual, an independent monster, but that she is a piece of cloth fluttering in the wind, a fallen leaf drifting down the river. Her existence is merely existence, and her movements are only feedback from the world.
The girl straightened her hands and spun them, and the dark green skirt bloomed with beautiful flowers. Gu Ming loves singing and dancing on the stage with only himself, seemingly at ease, but in fact he is lonely and desolate.
It's just that she doesn't even have the ability to feel this loneliness and desolation.
"このまま,Twistめ続けたなら~"
"息が止まっても,楽しい~楽しい......?"
Gu Mingdi's shoes touched something soft and solid, which interrupted the girl's song and dance. She looked down and saw a bloodstained humanoid with its limbs twisted to the point of extreme exaggeration lying at her feet.
Gu Ming squatted down and poked his fingers at the thing's sunken chest.
"Hello, what are you?
The thing frowned in pain and shuddered a few times with all its might.
Gummy noticed that it was still breathing faintly, but that didn't matter. This thing unexpectedly made Gu Ming Dilian feel familiar and familiar, and the appearance of pain and trembling was also very cute. This was the only ray of light in the dark world for Gu Mingdilian, who was completely blank in emotion and reason, so her smile couldn't help but deepen a little, and poked it in the chest again.
The thing moved a few more times.
"Wow, that's fun. ”
So Gu Ming Di Lian squatted beside the thing, poking it with his fingers from time to time, taking pleasure in watching its stress reaction. She didn't know that the life of this thing was running out quickly, and of course she probably knew and didn't care. After all, this is the old hell, and living creatures can still survive when they die and become ghosts or something, maybe for a little longer.
Just when the monster girl was smiling without even noticing it, someone finally came to stop this unconscious atrocity.
"Love, love, where are you?"
The flaming red hair was tied into two short braids, and the girl with cat ears on her head pushed a cart of the same style as that used to move bricks at major construction sites, running and shouting anxiously.
And Gu Ming Dilian was like he hadn't heard or seen it, and he was still concentrating on poking that thing and playing.
"Love-Love-"
The red-haired, cat-eared girl seemed to have been looking for a long time, and she sighed and stopped for a moment, muttering a little distressed.
"Lord Jue asked me to protect Lianlian, but Lianlian, how can I protect it, and I can't even find Lianlian. However, Ah Kong is still adjusting the hot springs in the scorching hell, and her bird brain can't do such a delicate work, and the other pets don't even have their wits, so I can only come. ”
Flame Cat Rin patted his cheeks with both hands, cheered himself up, and said:
"Come on, Ah Lian, you are the only one who can be entrusted with the responsibility, you have to share her worries...... Wait, do I smell a dying human?"
She sniffled and sniffed the air, and following her instincts, she pushed the cart to the dying human not far away, crouched down like Gu Ming Dilian, stared at him with bright eyes and waited for him to die, her two tails gently swaying twice from time to time, her appearance calm and patient, revealing the predator nature of cats.
It's just that she didn't notice that the second lady of the Earth Spirit Hall family, who she had been searching for for a long time, was beside her, looking at her with that dead gaze.
"No, Ran. This thing is in love and can't be given to you. ”
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!!"
No matter who is around and suddenly there is more than one person, the sudden faint sound of cold breath in his ears, and the empty gaze that suddenly falls on his face, it is difficult to continue to keep calm under the terrifying triple blow, at least the flame cat is so frightened that the hair on the cat's ears and tail explodes, and the whole cat jumps backwards and makes a perfect 360-degree backflip.
"Love, love?"
Flame Cat Rin breathed a sigh of relief after seeing clearly who was beside him just now, put down the hands that were protecting him as a defensive gesture, and walked back to Gu Ming Dilian's side.
"So you're here, Lian Lian. Do you like this dying human?"
"Hmm. ”
Gu Ming nodded his head.
"It has a familiar feel to it. ”
The girl's unfocused pupils fell on the human's body.
"It's the same kind of taste. ”
"This is a human being, you can't hide your bloodline, right?"
The flame cat scratched its head, looking at the poor human who was about to turn into a corpse with some confusion and some disbelief.
"No, it's not my sister, it's the same kind of love. ”
"The same kind of love...... Isn't that still a feeling?"
The flame cat looked at the angry human with suspicion, obviously not understanding the meaning of Gu Ming's love.
It's just a cat, after all.
"Love wants to raise it!"
