Chapter 5 Nightmare or Loneliness?

"That Chirulian has red eyes," Black said. "If I stand so close, I can feel that she is the source of resentment in this house.www.biquge.info ”

"Wouldn't it? You just said it was the grudge of the dead. ”

"Don't worry," Black said to Theresia. "With my ability as a demon king, I can directly read her resentment at this distance."

"Twenty years ago, this haunted bungalow was a hotel where a harmonious couple and their daughter lived. A family of three is very good at using super-powered elves. One day, however, her daughter's Kathy disappeared. ”

"In search of Casey, her daughter left the house without permission, but unfortunately, she met Darkrai, who would give nightmares to those around her just by standing there. If Darkrai's nightmare wasn't enough to put her under such a strong curse, she must have inadvertently stepped into Darkrai's realm, and Darkrai, who cursed it, probably with considerable anger. ”

The little girl fell after being cursed, and soon after, her parents found her, but she fell asleep in a nightmare. Her parents began to search for information about nightmares, and concluded that only the crescent moon feather of Cresicia, the god of dreams, could free the little girl from her dreams. ”

"In order to find Cressia and obtain the Feather of the Crescent Moon, their parents embarked on a long journey. And when they finally find Crescent Feather and return to the inn after a long time, the little girl is dead, and her resentment has turned the inn into a haunted bungalow. ”

"Crescent Feathers can only relieve nightmares, but not resurrect the dead. The ghost of the little girl suddenly appears and says 'it's too late' to her parents who have returned. It is unknown whether her parents left or died here after that. But after many years, the little girl's spirit hovered the house, and this Chirulian—"

Hei paused, and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this Chirulian is what that little girl's resentful spirit looks like now." Maybe it's possession of an elf, or its egg, or something else. But I can be sure that this Chirulian undoubtedly represents the will of the little girl. ”

Hearing Kuro's explanation, both Teresia and Toruko were taken aback.

At the same time, with a loud bang, the Dream Demon and Huang Quan were beaten back together by Chirulian's telekinesis.

"Damn, why can't you win."

"Of course you can't win, the other party is not an ordinary elf, but an elf who has a human will and has continued to exude resentment for many years." Hei looked at Huang Quan, who had a miserable face, and said. "Different elves have their own way of acknowledging their masters, and this guy is probably the same. Simply defeating and then using Poké Balls to subdue it is useless for this kind of elf with advanced intelligence. ”

"What do you mean—"

"Ah, take 10,000 steps back, even if you use violence to defeat and subdue her, you will only subdue an elf full of resentment. Don't say it's a wife, I'm afraid she won't admit that you are her master. ”

"Then you can't just leave her alone, right?" Theresia asked.

In fact, none of these grievances arise out of thin air, but have specific reasons for their formation. As long as this reason is found and these resentments are dispelled, she will be just a rare and powerful elf. ”

"So that grudge is because of a nightmare, but Crescent Moon Feathers don't work now." Huang Quan smacked his lips irritably.

"And is it the lost Casey?" Toko asked.

"Even if it were, could you get that Casey back? It was 10 years ago. ”

"I always feel that the Demon King, you look like you're at ease, don't you already know the reason?" Theresia Fox asked Black suspiciously.

"Of course, I'm the apex of villains, the demon king at the top of the dark forces. If this kind of resentment cannot be resolved, it will be an insult to my name. ”

"So—"

"But what good will it do me to dispel Chirulian's grudge? Although I don't mind doing things based on the principle of mutual benefit and win-win, I will not do anything that unilaterally allows others to benefit and that I pay for my own labor. ”

"Why do you say such a thing?"

Hearing the statement that the black matter was not her business, Theresia became angry.

"Wouldn't it be nice to have less resentment in the world?"

"It's really a good thing for humans, but it's the same for the demon king with or without grudges." With that, Black turned his back and prepared to walk out of the room.

"I'll give you this elf!" Suddenly, Huang Quan knelt behind Hei with a thud.

"Oh?"

"I have a big eye on this Chirulian, but I can't reconcile her grievances. Although I would love to take her as my wife, since I like her, I should let her choose the person who can save her. Black, if you can do it, it's up to you to subdue her. ”

"Black, even I think you're bullying people a little too much this time." Toko also blames Black rarely.

"No, no, no, a gentleman doesn't take a please, I have no interest in that Chirulian one, and I don't want to suffer if it hurts to take her in. To be correct, the benefit I want to gain is not ownership of the Chirulian or something you can give. ”

Looking around the room, Hei smiled faintly.

"The cup of soup I want is in this room, and if that guy is going to keep playing peek-a-boo, I'm really going to go."

As he spoke, Kuro really took a step out the door.

“！！”

And at this moment, suddenly a force grabbed Hei's clothes, and when he was pulled by this sudden force, Hei staggered back two steps in a row.

"Black, what's wrong?"

"Nothing," Kuro smiled, turning around. "The preface is retracted, I got what I wanted, and now I'm going to talk about the way to get rid of my grudges, you can listen well."

……

"Nightmares can torment the living, but for the dead who are unable to dream, the power of nightmares alone does not form resentment. Therefore, Darkrai's power is not a source of resentment. ”

"The lost Casey can't be a grudge either, if the owner really has a grudge because he can't find Casey's self-blame, he won't appear in the form of an elf, and even if he does, he will become Casey instead of Chirulian."

Back at Yellow Spring's side, Black looked at the Chirulian and showed no signs of using her skills as long as she didn't approach her.

"Casey and Darkrai in the story are eliminated, and then the sender of the resentment, the little girl herself, is removed, and the rest should be the source of the resentment."

"Do you mean that the root is the little girl's parents?" Theresia asked.

"That's right, it's them."

"But the little girl's parents did their best to find the Crescent Feather for the little girl."

"When the parents went to look for the Crescent Feather, they left the little girl alone at home, and when they returned, the little girl died and exuded resentment. This is a truth that even the demons can understand, for the patient, the most important thing is not to hear the news that others are going to find special drugs for her, but that there are people around her to accompany her through the difficulties. ”

"Loneliness, this despair that arises from loneliness, is the source of this resentment. The dead little girl had a grudge against her parents, and she hated herself for leaving her alone in this house when she was most miserable. And when the little girl dies and becomes a ghost, this resentment makes her reject those who try to approach her. ”

"The phrase 'too late' is not so much that the Crescent Moon Feather came too late to relieve the nightmare, but that the parents came back too late. The more lonely you are, the more you hate, and the more you hate, the more you reject the approach of others, and that's why you resent. Because of this, Chirulian now only attacks those who approach her. ”
