Among the woods.

The three weasel brothers dug hard at the dirt on the ground, while the owner of the sea stood by and read the scriptures.

"Dig, dig."

Ichitaro said.

"Well, let's take it out quickly."

Nitaro said.

The six hands of the scythe reached out together for the dug up object and pulled it back vigorously.

A fresh corpse, little by little, came out of the dirt.

"It looks like an ordinary human. Since it would do something like that. ”

Ichitaro said.

"Gray clothes, ordinary face, not tall or short body......"

Nitaro said.

"The human heart is so unpredictable."

Santaro said.

The three Scythe brothers looked at the freshly dug up corpse on the ground and chattered about it.

The owner of the sea shop didn't pay attention to them, just silently recited the scriptures.

It is always offensive to dig up the dead, such a thing. Even though the deceased was a bad guy during his lifetime.

"Let's go."

The owner of the sea carried the corpse on the ground on his shoulder, and then left with the three weasel brothers.

……

"Ruriko, why are you back again?"

As soon as Ruriko Chiba returned home, the aunt next door saw her.

"There was a holiday at school, so I came back for a few days. Organize your own stuff. ”

Ruriko Chiba replied.

Let Chiba Ruriko come back, this is Guan Hu's idea, after all, Chiba Ruriko is the only person in Chiba County that Guan Hu is familiar with. And one that is completely believable.

When Ruriko Chiba returned home, she closed the door.

"Are you Ruriko Chiba?"

The dream-eating tapir passed through the wall and slowly revealed itself.

"You are?"

When Chiba Ruriko first saw the Dream Eater Tapir, she looked a little scared.

But because she thought that Guan Hu had said before that she would let her friends come to her.

So, Ruriko Chiba still calmed down.

Guan Hu is a monster.

Then Guan Hu's friend is also a monster, which is not surprising.

"I'm a dream tapir."

The Dream Eater Tapir looked at Ruriko Chiba and replied to her.

Ruriko Chiba is a descendant of Yukina Chiba, and Yukina Chiba is actually a youkai girl.

So.

In a sense, Chiba Ruriko should not be considered a completely orthodox human being.

When Chiba Ruriko saw Chiba Matsuko and Guan Fox, she didn't show fear. For Chiba Ruriko, Guan Hu is still more trusting.

After all.

Ruriko Chiba had already told them her identity first. At this time, in front of Chiba Ruriko, there is no need to deliberately hide it.

"Chiba Ruriko, look...... This is what the bad guy looks like. ”

The dream-eating tapir said as it changed its appearance.

The Dream Tapir is a disembodied monster that can change her appearance at will.

Moreover.

These changes are not really there.

If you have to say what the appearance of the dream-eating tapir is, then it may be the most appropriate metaphor to use colored air.

You can see it, but you can't touch it.

The appearance of the dream-eating tapir changed rapidly, and soon it changed into the appearance of a man.

He is neither tall nor short, wearing a gray dress and very ordinary facial features.

It's actually just a normal ordinary person.

If he is placed in the middle of a sea of people, no one should pay more attention to him.

"It looks like just an ordinary person."

Chiba Ruriko looked at the man in front of her who had changed out of the Dream Eater Tapir, and couldn't help but sigh.

This gives the impression of being contemplative and terrifying.

After all.

This kind of person who looks completely indistinguishable from ordinary people lives by his side all day long.

We can't tell, but like predators, they wait patiently, waiting for an opportunity.

"It's almost night, it's time to go."

Dream Eater Tapir looked at Ruriko Chiba and said to her.

"Hmm. But just wait, wait a minute, my aunt should come and call me to her house for dinner. At that time, I was saying that I wanted to go to the mountains to worship my ancestors. There will be one more person to testify for me. ”

Ruriko Chiba looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and said to her.

"Then listen to you."

The dream-eating tapir has changed into a man's appearance, but the voice is still soft.

It still sounds a little weird.

……

The sun was moving westward, and soon it was going to set, and the clouds on the horizon were red, as if stained with blood.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Yingcao looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

Now.

Chen Beibei was in a barren clearing with his Shikshen, and in front of them was the corpse that the sea master and the sickle had dug up together.

Chiba Matsuko and Gu Hou Bird are still in the cave.

Chen Beibei plans to do this well, and then go back to take the two women as a god.

"Wait until the villagers start to mess up."

Chen Beibei replied.

Although Chen Beibei knew that Yingcao also wanted to join the action, after all, for such a long time, Yingcao had never used her violence freely.

But.

Chen Beibei didn't intend to really hurt those villagers, so he kept Yingcao by his side.

Instead, let the Dream Eater Tapir take Chiba Ruriko to implement the first step plan.

"Will the villagers really believe it?"

Yingcao asked.

"Definitely, after all, the bodies of the bad guys are gone. As long as Ruriko Chiba said that, they would definitely go to check it. ”

Chen Beibei looked at Yingcao and replied to her.

The sun went farther and wester, and it went down farther and lower, and soon it was completely obscured by the distant peaks.

The red clouds turned black.

A silver hook-like moon appeared on the horizon, and it was another gray night.

……

"Ruriko Chiba, let's go to my house for dinner tonight. I'm ready. ”

After the sun sets, the aunt next door comes to Chiba Ruriko's house and calls her to eat.

"Auntie, I've already eaten it just now. Now I plan to go to the mountains to worship my ancestors. I'll have to rush back to Osaka to go to school in a few days, so I won't be able to eat at your house today. ”

Ruriko Chiba replied.

"Do you want to sacrifice at this time? The road on the mountain is not easy to walk at night. ”

Auntie said.

"It's okay, I have a flashlight. And the way up the mountain, I've walked it many times. It's okay. ”

Ruriko Chiba took out her flashlight, shook it, and then said.

Although it is said to be up the mountain, the mountain is actually behind the village, and there is a path to walk all the way through. There will be no danger in any place.

"Well, be careful yourself. If you are afraid, you can ask your uncle to accompany you. ”

Auntie said.

"No, it's okay for me to go alone."

Ruriko Chiba replied.

In this way, the aunt next door returned to her home, but it can be seen that she is still a little worried.

Probably because there was a dead man buried on the mountain two days ago.

After seeing the aunt completely disappear from sight, the dream-eating tapir quietly appeared next to Chiba Ruriko: "Ruriko, let's go." ”

In this way, Ruriko Chiba walked towards the mountain with the dream-eating tapir.

……

Late at night.

It was pitch black in the sky, and there was a quick knock on the door, and the voice was very anxious, as if it had encountered a great emergency.

"Is there a knock on the door?"

The aunt next door shook her husband, who was sleeping next to her, and said to him.

The woman in the dark, looking a little scared.

After all.

If someone knocks on the door at night, it feels quite scary.

The man slowly woke up, and asked in a vague voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Apparently.

At this time, the man was not fully awake, and the woman repeated again: "It seems that someone is knocking on our door." ”

Knock knock knock......

Knock knock knock......

The knock on the door was still ringing, getting more and more urgent, making the otherwise quiet night a little frightening.

"I'll go take a look, you don't move in the room."

The man got dressed, got out of bed carefully, and then walked out into the courtyard and looked out through the crack in the door.

It was a girl with a pale face, and it seemed to be Ruriko Chiba who lived next door.

"Who?"

Although the man already felt that it should be Ruriko Chiba, he still asked for the sake of insurance.

"It's me, Ruriko, uncle."

Ruriko Chiba replied.

When the man heard the girl's answer, he dared to open the door. As soon as Ruriko Chiba entered, she quickly closed the door and locked it with a deadbolt.

The man at the moment when Ruriko Chiba closed the door.

In the distant street, there was a vague figure standing, neither tall nor short, wearing a gray dress......

……

"What the hell is going on? Ruriko Chiba. ”

Uncle asked.

The aunt, who was originally in the bedroom, also walked out, and she had been hiding in the room before, paying attention to the situation in the yard. After seeing that it was Chiba Ruriko, he walked out with peace of mind.

"There's a man in the woods, and he's been following me on my way back."

Chiba Ruriko looked at her uncle and aunt and said slowly.

Now.

Chiba Ruriko's face softened slightly, and her breathing was not so short.

The uncle thought of the moment when the door had just closed, and saw a figure standing on the street.

Originally, he thought it was just his own delusion.

Now it seems that it may be real, that there is really a person standing on the street, staring at their home.

"When you closed the door just now, I saw a figure not far away......

Uncle said with a pale face.

The atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly became solemn, and the air seemed to become thinner.

"Let's look through the crack in the door."

The aunt broke the silence and said to her man.

They are already very old, they have seen everything, and at this time, even if they are afraid, they still quickly calm down.

Everyone looked through the crack in the door.

The dim light made it impossible for them to see the scene in the distance clearly.

But.

But the man was standing at the door of their house. Even if you don't want to see it, you can't turn a blind eye.

Not tall or short, gray clothes, ordinary facial features.

This is...... The bad guy who got caught......

……

The uncle and aunt couldn't hold back their screams, while Ruriko Chiba hugged her knees and curled up in the corner.

Two days ago.

The bad guy who was broken has committed suicide.

This was a notice issued by the village head, Hirata himself, and everyone attended the funeral where the person was buried.

Although it is the bad guy.

However, because he died in his own village, everyone also gave him a decent funeral.

"Uncle, what should we do now? Who the hell is that person? ”

Ruriko Chiba asked.

The uncle and aunt didn't speak, but looked at each other, and then said, "Ruriko, don't be afraid, maybe it's just a strange person, it's okay." ”

Ruriko Chiba's family had already moved to Osaka, so they didn't attend the funeral of that bad guy.

I haven't even seen that bad guy.

Now.

Uncle and aunt didn't want Chiba Ruriko to be scared because of such a thing.

"Being followed already scares her. If you tell her the truth of the matter, then it will definitely be even worse. ”

Uncle and aunt thought so.

All night, the uncle was paying attention to the person outside the door, and the person was just standing quietly outside the door.

There was no knocking, no talking, just standing.

No one slept all night, but the people outside didn't know when they had disappeared.

By the time I noticed that the person outside the door was missing, it was already dawn.

"It seems that the people outside are gone......"

Uncle said.

Because I didn't sleep all night, and the aunt with a tired face also looked at it, and the person was indeed gone.

Chiba Ruriko was not in the courtyard because they arranged her to sleep in her own bed.

"It's the guy who committed suicide the other day, right?"

Uncle said.

"Well, that look, you can't go wrong."

The aunt replied.

"What now?"

"Let's go and report to Lord Hirata first, Lord Hirata is so powerful, there must be a way."

Auntie said.

Hirata has long been revered in Chiba Prefecture as a traditional samurai and a conscientious village chief.

"Hmm."

After the uncle finished speaking, he climbed up the courtyard wall and looked outside, and only after making sure that the person was really gone, did he dare to open the door.

When the aunt saw the uncle leave, she returned to her bedroom.

Ruriko Chiba is asleep at the moment.

At dawn, the Dream Eater Tapir returned to Chen Beibei's side and changed back to his appearance: "Master, I'm back......"

The voice of the dream-eating tapir is very soft, giving people a very sweet and soft feeling.

"How's it going?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"I've done what you said, but it seems to scare them......"

The Dream Tapir replied.

"Well, then you can rest now."

Chen Beibei looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and said to her.

The Dream Eater Tapir is a nocturnal monster that sleeps during the day, and now it's daytime, that is, the time for the Dream Eater Tapir to sleep.

"Good night, master."

After the dream-eating tapir finished speaking, it directly turned into a pink sphere and lay on the ground, motionless. Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "Onmyoji-style God Don't Cry Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
