8. The misery of the youkai

What happened last night, even in Nangong's opinion, the spirit mirror must have been hit in various senses. Not only did he refuse help after that, but he also didn't show up in front of Nangong's house on time the next day.

Considering that not only was she not the opponent's opponent in battle, but her teacher Senmian actually didn't help just by looking at it, it wasn't difficult to explain that the Spirit Mirror would be hit.

However, when Nangong tried his best to find the "monster street" again, and wanted to ask Qianmian about the reason for not helping last night and asking for help again, he was rejected by Qianmian very decisively.

"No, I don't want to run out casually."

Qian Mian tapped the table with the handle of his fan while fooling him with a lie that Nangong could hear, "You kid, don't waste time here, hurry up and get to work!" Do you know about the work? If you are lazy, you will not be paid. ”

"I don't care about the salary! If you don't help now, Lingjing can't have any chance of winning alone, right? ”

Nangong probably understood the reason why the spirit mirror did not appear as promised in the morning, indeed, if no one could cope with it, bringing another oil bottle would only be more troublesome.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you just watch and didn't help at the time?"

"Don't want to help...... Well, no, it can't help. ”

Qianmian thought for a while, and suddenly changed the wording, although he knew that there must be some special meaning, but Nangong still couldn't figure out why Qianmian would do this. One is a monster, the other is his own apprentice, who to choose between the two, there should be no need to hesitate at all.

"Still, it's okay to talk about it. It's time for you to pass some news about her to the spirit mirror, and by the way, I hope she's safe. ”

"Don't, say it yourself!"

Nangong rarely has a little temper, but maybe it's because he still has such expectations subconsciously? His pace of turning away slowed gradually. Of course, at the same time, I also learned a lot about the youkai that broke in with the malicious intent of attacking humans.

"The demon knife Xixun is not a demon but a spirit condensed by the knife, that is, the instrument spirit, the knife she is holding in her arms, that is, the knife that broke the spell of the spirit mirror before is her body, and the spirit mirror She misjudged from the beginning, and it is naturally impossible to have any chance of winning if she uses the method to deal with a demon to deal with a machine spirit."

The net made of rune paper does look like it was specially prepared to catch youkai. According to Qianmian, if the other party itself is a sharp weapon, the natural outcome is doomed. Even if that Xijing is still wearing a suit that is inconvenient for movement.

"Xijing, she eats a little differently from other machine spirits. As long as the general machine spirit eats the corresponding materials, it can be regarded as replenishing physical strength, but Xijing ...... A demon knife that is only kept sharp by absorbing energy, how do you think she can survive? ”

[The most basic rights]

It seems that Xi Xun said something like this last night, just like humans need to eat chicken, duck and fish, which is a basic right in the eyes of human beings themselves, and it will be considered a slaughter when it is put on animals. But even then, there is nothing that can be done......

"No one wants to keep a guy who will constantly disturb the peace in their jurisdiction, and even I don't want to be scolded. Therefore, Xijing is a monster that can never get a number, and can only survive by constantly fleeing from various places. There are a few other reasons, but I don't want to ...... because of this Shot, do you understand? ”

“…… Probably. ”

Nangong pondered as he slowly left the shop with a thousand faces.

Everyone has the right to live, so even if there is no way to directly help Xixin in terms of position, Qianmian has to find ways to "help" her in other forms. And last night's action of a thousand faces may be such a manifestation.

But at least Xixin also made relative concessions, she was not hostile last night, maybe her purpose was simply to let the spirit mirror know the difficulties and retreat.

So, is it really the best way for such a monster to arrest and punish her violently, as Lingjing did? Sure enough, you should find the Spirit Mirror now, and then ......

"Good morning?"

“……”

Unlucky, so unlucky, even if I've been thinking about Xijing, I won't really meet her immediately after only a few steps out of "Monster Street", right? However, the smell of flowers in the nose can be guessed without the eyes to identify the monster who is happily greeting him.

"Good morning, good morning......"

Running away when you are alone like this is definitely the most unwise thing to do, Nangong replied while looking at today's Xixun, who is also the one he really "knows".

Even though there was a battle only last night, Xixin didn't have the slightest scruples at this time. The rich fragrance of flowers and the elegant and gorgeous kimono that made her face flutter on her face were probably the only difference was that she had an extra knife in her arms.

According to Thousand Faces, this knife should be the body of Xixing.

"It's just a normal knife, what's the problem?"

“……”

"Hey...... How much did that little fox instill in you that you shouldn't know? ”

Most of them had already noticed Nangong's questioning look, and Xi Xun said as if giving up, "So what are you going to do now?" An ordinary person like you, when you hand the knife to your hand, you also keep falling, right? ”

"No, that, I just wanted to ask." Although it was only a hasty encounter, Nangong also roughly thought about the next approach, "Is it other than that way of eating...... Is there no other way? Well, I think I can help. ”

"Well, it seems that the little fox told you a lot of things, but unfortunately it didn't." Xixun shook his head and removed the cloth bag containing the knife.

The wooden hilt, but it looks a little old.

No, it's more like it hasn't been maintained for a long time than it is old.

"It's the same as you eat, no matter what kind of food you change, the meal itself cannot be shaken. There are some things I don't want to do, but I don't want it to break and rust one day, so I ......."

"So?"

"Actually, you can help me."

Xi Xun said and wrapped the knife again, and then looked at Nangong with a smile. Unlike the previous ones, it seems that this time there is something more...... Something else.

Moreover, what is the extra is very easy for Nangong to see.

"This ......" However, when it really came to this kind of need to fulfill the promise, Nangong found that action is often much more difficult than boasting. He could indeed help Xixun, but the price of that help was ......

Hesitation, confusion, on the one hand, the same kindness as the Virgin Mary that suddenly appeared, and on the other hand, the survival instinct of the living being.

Just when Xixi's last little smile was about to dissipate, Nangong finally opened his mouth: "That, if you eat, you can only eat half of it, right, so...... At half of that, I probably wouldn't have ...... What's the problem, right? ”

"Poof...... Hahaha, do you want to spend the rest of your life in a wheelchair? ”

Xi Xun, who had lost much of her smile, suddenly laughed after a moment of silence, although this somewhat unbridled laughter really didn't match her appearance.

"Good people are not so easy to be, you can't be a good inspector with this kind of character. Learn more from that girl.,Deal with a monster like me.,Unnumbered and causing trouble everywhere.,You should be punished directly.。 ”

"But ......"

But this is not right, which may be why I disagree with the way of doing things in the spirit mirror. Not all monsters do things with malice, and not all monsters have to rely on violence to subdue them, and the spirit mirror may know more about other things, but these are the only ones who don't want to be limited by the spirit mirror's thinking.

At least Xixin is such an example, if she really just wants to attack innocent people for malice, then naturally she won't let go of the defenseless self who is now in front of her, right?

"Ahem, if you're really that kind......"

Just when Nangong hesitated, Xixin knocked his head with the handle of the knife, it seemed that since the beginning, her mood had improved a lot, at least even the smile would always be on the corner of her mouth.

"Then how about you please accompany me around?"
