Chapter 30: The Hand of the Small Sleeve

In the early morning in Luoying City, in a gloomy shroud shop, Chen Beibei was using his spiritual eyes to look at the owner of the shroud shop.

"You're a youkai, aren't you?"

Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the shroud shop and asked her.

Because they have seen through the true identity of the boss, Chen Beibei and they have no need to continue to hide their identity.

After all.

In front of youkai, there will still be a lot of convenience in using the identity of an onmyoji.

"You're an Onmyoji?"

Although the owner of the shroud shop did not directly answer Chen Beibei's question, this question can be regarded as a default that he is a monster.

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei nodded and replied.

The atmosphere in the shroud shop has become a little more subtle, but overall, it is not too depressing.

Chen Beibei could feel that the owner of the shroud shop was a little afraid of himself.

Although there have been many onmyoji in history, there are not many onmyoji who can be recognized by the monsters.

After all.

Most onmyoji still serve humans, such as the Onmyoji of the He Mao family.

This one is relatively good.

Because most of them still have some fairness and justice, and they will try their best to maintain their identity as an onmyoji. Don't let this identity be too biased towards one side or the other, even if they serve humanity.

For youkai, there is a kind of onmyoji that is still very scary.

That is the kind of onmyoji who wants to realize his ambitions and does whatever he wants.

For example, the source of Laiguang......

Even some big monsters can be enslaved and controlled by Minamoto Yorimitsu.

They are monsters, not to mention.

Maybe if one is unhappy, just wipe it out.

Chen Beibei can understand the monsters' fear of him, because he is a human ......

It's normal for youkai to be afraid of themselves.

"You don't have to worry about the master hurting you, the master won't hurt the monster casually. You see...... We're all youkai too! ”

Shi Mengmeng slowly appeared and said to the owner of the shroud shop.

These days, Dream Tapir sucks the energy of her dreams at the bedside of the shroud shop owner every night.

There is also a lot to know about the owner of the shroud shop.

At the beginning, there was always some anxiety in the dreams of the shroud shop owner.

And sometimes there is even panic and despair......

It wasn't until the Dream Tapir created some peaceful dreams for the owner of the shroud shop that the anxiety, panic, and despair in the dream of the owner of the shroud shop slowly disappeared.

But.

All the dream-eating tapir can do is make these emotions disappear from the dream.

As for waking up...... I still can't get rid of it.

Dream Tapir knew that the owner of the shroud shop was waiting for his brother to come back, and Dream Tapir also knew that the brother of the owner of the shroud shop would not come back.

Because.

His younger brother is not from this era at all. Even if he hadn't died at the time, it would have been impossible to travel through time and space to come to the owner of the shroud shop.

So.

Dream Tapir still has some sympathy and pity for the owner of the shroud shop.

"There's no place to sit here, so let's stand. You guys are here...... What's the matter? ”

The words of the owner of the shroud shop suddenly became more and more.

I probably think that the tube fox, the dream-eating tapir and the three-tailed fox are all monsters, so I feel a little more relaxed.

After all.

These are her kind, and in front of her kind, she doesn't have to work so hard to disguise.

"What's your name?"

Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the shroud shop and asked her.

At this time, there is still plenty of time for Chen Beibei to come to the north.

It is still necessary to ask for the name, so that it will be easier to find her later.

"Sleeve Hand ......"

The owner of the shroud shop hesitated for a while, but finally came up with his own name.

Hearing the answer of the owner of the shroud shop, Chen Beibei's mind immediately appeared with the appearance of the hand of the onmyoji sleeve.

Although it seems to be a little different from reality.

But.

There are still a lot of things in common between the two, whether it is in appearance or clothing.

The Hand of the Sleeve is an R-class god in the Onmyoji.

It's a semi-output.,Half-control Shige.,Compared with some of the more popular Shikami.,The role of the sleeve hand is not very big.。 There should be fewer people to cultivate.

But.

Chen Beibei still remembers this name, which has something to do with the vertical painting of the sleeve hand. After all, the standing painting of the sleeve hand does look very beautiful.

At least.

In the R-class god, it is already very amazing.

When he didn't know much about these gods before, Chen Beibei smashed a hundred ghosts, and often regarded his sleeve hand as an SR-style god. When I saw the hand of the sleeve, I also sprinkled the beans violently.

Although here I saw the hand of the sleeve.

But.

Chen Beibei's mood was still not happy, because of the sleeve hand...... It seems to have something to do with the recent murder of young women in Sakura City......

"Do you have an old piece of armor?"

Chen Beibei looked at the hand of his sleeve and asked her.

"Armor ......"

The sleeve hand looked hesitant and lowered his head, as if he didn't want to answer the question.

Probably because that armor was so important to her.

"The owner...... If there is anything, you can come out as it is. This will also help us figure out the truth of the matter as soon as possible. The boss shouldn't want to, and someone will continue to die innocently, right? ”

The three-tailed fox looked at the sleeve hand and said to her.

Apparently.

At this time, the three-tailed fox is still very worried about the sleeve hand, after all, these days, the three-tailed fox is still very happy in the store of the sleeve hand.

What's more, the sleeve hand, like himself, is also a youkai.

"I have a piece of armor, but I sewed it for my brother. Onmyoji-sama, why do you ask this ......? ”

The sleeve hand looked at Chen Beibei and asked him.

Although the Dream Eater Tapir had seen the armor fly out while he was asleep in his sleeve hand last night.

Moreover, someone was found dead on the side of the road this morning.

If this matter is a coincidence, it would seem too far-fetched.

"Tell me about that armor of yours, it must not be an ordinary piece of armor, right?"

North Chenbei Road.

The hand of the sleeve sews the armor every night, and the feelings contained in it should be very dignified and sincere.

And.

Since that armor can turn into a youkai, it must have experienced something.

Chen Beibei wanted to know these stories.

……

Inside the shroud shop.

The sleeve hand didn't say anything for a long time, as if he had fallen into those long-ago memories of Zheng

"That year, my younger brother was going to conquer foreign races and win glory for the country.

I advised my brother not to go.

In the end, I couldn't change my brother's determination, and after understanding this, I had to sew a piece of armor for him. I hope that after my brother wears this armor, he will be able to resist some damage on the battlefield.

After the younger brother left.

I was looking forward to my brother's return in the morning......

Two days a day.

One year and two years......

Time just waited, and the war lasted for years, as if it would never end. My brother is probably busy fighting all the time, so he hasn't been able to go home. ”

"The owner's brother never came back, so ...... Why is the armor in your hands? ”

The three-tailed fox asked heartily.

The armor was worn by the younger brother to talk about the battlefield, and if the younger brother did not come back, the armor ...... How did you get home on your own......

"The war finally ended in a snowy winter, and I waited at home for my brother to return triumphantly.

But.

The first to wait was indeed a great general.

His armor was tattered, and he made the sound of metal colliding when he walked.

'General, do you need to mend your clothes?' ’

I asked.

He didn't say anything, just looked around my shop, and his eyes finally fell on a piece of armor that wasn't sold. His expression looked heavy, and finally he took off his armor and left.

After the general left.

I picked up his tattered armor and looked at it closely, and finally burst into tears.

This armor ...... I sewed it for my brother back then! ”

Hearing the hand of the sleeve say this, the air in the room seemed to be drained.

It's uncomfortable.

Armor was brought in...... So the younger brother of the sleeve hand...... I'm afraid I'm dead.

If this is the case, then it is reasonable that the sleeve hand will become like this.

After all.

From the time when the sleeve hand just talked about these memories, it can be seen that the relationship between the sleeve hand and his brother must be very close. It's probably the kind that depends on each other.

After the younger brother left, the sleeve hand should also live alone and not married.

Spend the days in anticipation......

"Onmyoji-sama, the armor must be broken, so my brother asked someone to send the armor back for the sewing to be repaired, right?"

The sleeve hand looked at Chen Beibei with a pitiful gaze and asked him.

Chen Beibei didn't know how to answer.

In the heart of the sleeve hand, it must be so.

As long as you sew and mend the armor yourself, your brother will come home and get it!

But.

It can be seen at a glance that this is certainly not the case. The younger brother is dead, and the armor was only returned as a relic! The younger brother will come back is just an excuse to escape from reality in his own heart.

Chen Beibei didn't know how to answer, so he didn't answer this question.

After all.

If the facts are revealed, it seems a little cruel.

If he doesn't come out, the hand of the sleeve may be imprisoned in the cage he has woven for himself

"That armor...... Can you show us? ”

Chen Beibei looked at the hand of his sleeve and asked her.

The mood of the sleeve hand seemed to be a little unstable, but after waiting for a while, it slowly calmed down.

"Hmm."

The Sleeve Hand replied.

The Hand of Sleeves would agree so easily, which is basically clear, and the Hand of the Sleeves should not know that the armor has actually become a monster.

After all.

Last night, the armor had snuck out after the sleeve hand had fallen asleep.

Presumably the previous few times were the same.

This made Chen Beibei a little relieved, if the sleeve hand didn't know about the killing.

Then nature is the best outcome.

"Come with me."

The hand of the sleeve took Chen Beibei and they came to the room where they were sleeping.

In the empty room, there was only a bed and a piece of armor hanging by the window.

Even though it was white, the curtains still didn't open. The room also looked very dark, almost indistinguishable from the night.

The Sleeve Hand seemed to realize this, and lit the candles in the room. In the dim yellow candlelight, I can finally see what the armor looks like.

The armor is indeed very old, and it must have been something from a long time ago.

The pieces of iron on the armor were rusty.

The threads that connected the pieces of iron had long since rotted, but they had been re-sewn by the hands of the sleeves.

Old and new silk threads alternate, appearing in an orderly manner on the armor.

Although the armor still looks old, it should be fully usable.

It is not difficult to see that the hand of sleeves has poured a lot of effort and affection into this armor

Chen Beibei opened the spiritual eye.

A smoky halo of light surrounded the armor, and although it hadn't turned into a human form yet, it could already be seen that the demonic power gathered by that armor was still very powerful.

……

"You're a youkai too, aren't you?"

Chen Beibei looked at the armor and said to it.

Since it is a monster, then things are much simpler for Chen Beibei.

At least in front of youkai.

There are not too many constraints, and when it comes to solving problems, there are not so many concerns.

The gas that surrounded the armor fluttered for a moment......

The armor fell from the wall, did not fall to the ground, just floated in mid-air juice ...

"Has it been discovered?"

Armor Road.

"If you want to live in silence, you don't have to do those things, right?"

North Chenbei Road.

The armor killed so many people, and this matter would definitely be exposed.

In this way, it is impossible to continue to live a quiet life.

"If you don't do that, you won't be able to live. Now that we've been found, I'm at your disposal. ”

Armor Road.

The armor would be like this, this was something Chen Beibei didn't expect at all, after all, the demonic power gathered by the armor was still very powerful. If you want to escape, there is more or less hope.

Since you don't have to struggle for a while...... Could it be that when you were doing those things, you already thought that there would be such a thing?

"What does it mean that if you don't do those things, you can't live?"

Chen Beibei looked at the armor and asked him.

The hand of the sleeve has been silently watching Chen Beibei and the armor talk.

At this time, she is.

I guess I've already understood something.

"Onmyoji-sama, let me come...... Maybe I know why it did that......"

The sleeve looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

The Sleeve Hand sat down on the edge of the bed, his expression sad.

Maybe it's the next thing to talk about, and it's a bit heavy......
