Chapter 16 Baqi, the boundary between life and death
What do you mean?
I glanced at Ding Ding, who was licking the lollipop in a daze, and then at the gentle lady who was still smiling, and a strange feeling suddenly surged in my heart.
This lady doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems!
And I don't know what Lu Dao is for, since the lady appeared, Ding Ding suddenly became silent. She licked the lollipop sullenly, and seemed to have no interest in even playing with Chen Xinyi. Noticing my gaze, Ding Ding raised her head and shook it at me, the serious expression on her face that made me more and more worried.
At the same time, like Ding Ding, Chen Xinyi's little head hidden in her mother's arms also trembled slightly, as if she actually knew something......
After a while, the ugly old Xia Bo pursed his lips and walked back with something covered by red silk.
In my inquisitive gaze, Madame stood up and took the copper plate. He placed it on the table and uncovered the red silk to reveal its contents. I looked wide-eyed, only to see that it was a gray-white lump that looked like a bone. It's about the size of a finger, but it gives me a very uneasy feeling. And when I saw this thing, Ding Ding hid behind me with an exclamation.
"What is this?"
I was curious, because this little thing actually gave me a sense of oppression that I didn't know how to describe it. If you really want to say it, it feels like there's a huge monster standing in front of you. It exudes a faint coercion, like the fangs of a demon.
Something like this, I've never felt before.
"This is the culprit who killed her husband!" With tears in her eyes, Mrs. wiped it and said to me with a smile: "According to the outside world, it was the War of Resistance against Japan at that time, right?" At that time, there were Japanese invaders in the small town, and the deceased husband led the local people to fight them resolutely. But shortly after, a formidable enemy appeared! The deceased husband and the masters fought against it, and finally tried their best to kill it. However, the deceased husband and his party also accompanied their lives. This bone is the only thing left at the scene at that time, and it is said that a tailbone of the Yaki Orochi of the Wa Kingdom! ”
"What? The tailbone of the Yaki Orochi? I screamed and stood up, does the mythical monster of Yagi Orochi also exist?
"Yes. I saw with my own eyes that the black-clothed ninja was transformed into a terrifying serpent. The deceased man burned his life and died with it, leaving only this little thing in the end. The coercion exuded by this thing, I believe you can also feel it. In addition to the Yaqi Orochi, there is no way that such a powerful monster exists. With a sad expression, Madame put the red silk back on. Holding Chen Xinyi up again, she looked at my surprised look, shook her head and said, "Xinyi has been spied on recently, maybe it's the aura of this thing that attracts the attention of others, right?" It is useless and harmful to ordinary people, but it is a treasure that is a great supplement for youkai. ”
"In other words, someone hurt Chen Xinyi because they sensed the breath of this bone?" I understood what Madame meant, and at the same time expressed my doubts about Madame's lack of a solution to the cause of the matter. Why should Chen Xinyi be hurt?
As if guessing my thoughts, Madame shook her head and said, "No way, because neither I nor the old butler are good at fighting." Even if we know that there is an enemy, we have no power to stop it. And this coccyx is the only thing left by the deceased husband, and it must not be handed over to others! ”
"Madame! Even if Old Xia Bo fights not to die, he will definitely protect the safety of Mrs. and Miss! The tearful old Shabber roared loudly and clenched his fists, but it seemed to me that he was just bluffing. With his strength, at most, he can just bully an ordinary person like me.
I didn't continue to ask why I didn't ask for help, because I understood the truth of guilt. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to peep at that tailbone, which means that in order to stop 'it' or even 'them', you need to find something more powerful than them. Maybe Lily of the Paranormal Organization is the only one capable in the small town, but can she fight those monsters alone?
Now, I realize that what is happening in front of me seems to be beyond what I can help.
Hesitating and not knowing how to solve this problem, I can only sympathize with the helplessness of the mother and daughter in front of me. Seeing Chen Xinyi, who was curled up in her mother's arms, absentmindedly teasing Ding Ding with one finger, I wanted to say but I didn't know what to say. At this time, the beautiful lady in front of her suddenly took a deep breath, hugged Chen Xinyi to the side and sat down, then stood up and walked in front of me and stared at me with a serious expression.
Or rather, staring at the dings in my hands.
"Huh......" took a deep breath, Madame stroked the bun in her ear, and suddenly bowed deeply to me: "Little eucalyptus, Your Royal Highness the Princess, I want to ask you for a favor!" ”
"Ahh What are you doing here, hurry up! ”
I hurriedly stood up and helped my wife up, but she was stubborn and unwilling to straighten up. She just maintained a bowing posture, and in the soft cry of Chen Xinyi next to her and the anxious gaze of Old Xia Bo jumping to his feet, Mrs. said slowly: "My deceased husband has been dead for almost a hundred years, and I miss him very much." But as a ghost and in order to take care of Xinyi, I really can't go down there to accompany him. Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has appeared, I have seen hope, and I would like to implore Her Royal Highness the Princess to let me see my deceased husband! Just meet in person, and I'm willing to pay any price for that! Her Royal Highness Princess, Aya Duanmu is here to implore you, please fulfill my wish no matter what! ”
"Get up first! Let's get up first and then talk about it, okay? "I was sweating profusely, but the lady named Duanmu Ling was unwilling to get up no matter how much I persuaded me. I looked at Ding Ding and asked her opinion, but Ding Ding shook her head at me, hung her head listlessly and whimpered.
"I'm sorry, Ding Ding can't do it. Because the world realm has the order of the world realm, it is absolutely impossible for living beings and dead souls to appear in the same world realm. The human world is the main plane of living beings, and it is not a place where dead spirits can exist. Even if Ding Ding now has the power to summon the Necromancy, they will be punished by the Law of Order as soon as they return to the human realm. When the time comes, it will definitely be gone, and you can no longer be reincarnated! Can you bear the consequences? Ding Ding said very dejectedly, infected by the disappointment of Duanmu Ling, Xinyi and Lao Guan, her eyes were also red. Glancing back at me, she pouted and slipped through my neckline, leaning on my shoulder and refusing to come out.
Sighing in disappointment, Duanmu Ling stood up with tears in his eyes: "Is there really no way?" ”
"Old man......" Old Xia Bo's mood was even more exaggerated, he rubbed his eyes but kept shedding tears.
And holding her mother's waist, Chen Xinyi bit her lip and didn't say a word. Maybe of all, she was the hardest hit, right?
Not only because of my father, but also because of my mother's words.
If it weren't for her, would the mother actually plan to go underground to find her father? She actually became a drag on her mother?
This feeling made Chen Xinyi miserable.
Looking at the situation in front of me, I really didn't know how to comfort them. Ding Ding's words shattered their expectations, but the century-old longing was hit hard by reality at this moment. There are terrible enemies outside, but at home they want to see their relatives but have no way, this feeling is really desperate. Empathetic, I suddenly thought of my mom and dad. It's been years since they've died, how are they're doing in the realm now?
If I could, I'd love to see them again!
"It's not impossible."
Ding Ding suddenly came out of my hair, and I couldn't hear clearly, but I felt that my arm was twisting very painfully. I habitually pulled Ding Ding down and held it in my hand, and then found that both Duanmu Ling and Lao Xia Bo's eyes were firmly fixed on the small thing in my palm. Looking up in amazement, I remembered what Ding Ding had said before. Hurriedly lifted her up in front of me, and I was overjoyed: "Ding Ding, what did you say?" Do you think there is a way for the dead to come back to earth? What to do, tell me quickly! Hurry up, you little fool! ”
"Woo...... The little eucalyptus is the stupid one! Ding Ding is going to bite you! Ahh......h
