Sakura Castle North District.

Chen Beibei and the Dream Eater Tapir were wandering around the streets, and occasionally someone passed by, but they couldn't see the Dream Eater Tapir.

There was always a faint foul smell in the air.

Generally speaking, if everyone's economic conditions are better, basically no one will want to live in such a place for a long time.

"Dream Eater, let's go."

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

It was already a little late, and Chen Beibei planned to let the Dream Eater Tapir sneak into the second floor of the shroud shop now.

"Hmm."

The Dream Eater replied softly.

The pink body of the dream-eating tapir looks very cute.

The Dream Eater Tapir had been following closely behind Chen Beibei, and the two of them soon came to the door of the shroud shop again.

The lights in the shroud shop had been turned off, and when I stood at the door, I couldn't hear anything inside.

"I guess I'm asleep."

Chen Beibei thought to himself.

In fact.

The boss also looked like a beautiful woman in her twenties and thirties, and this one lived in such a place. Even at night, I slept alone in the shroud shop. To Rao, there is still a trace of pity.

After all.

If it were an ordinary Rao, who would come to such a place alone?

I don't leave my shop all day long.

Life doesn't seem to be anything new.

"Dream Eater Tapir, after you go in, go directly to the second floor. There should be a woman sleeping inside. Be careful, don't make a sound, and don't be seen by her. ”

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

"Hmm......" Dream Eater Tapir nodded, and then asked, "Master, do I just need to write down what I saw on the second floor and tell you?" ”

"Hmm."

Chen Beibei replied.

……

The dream-eating tapir passed through the door, and the room was very dark because the lights were not on.

But fortunately, the dream-eating tapir acts at night all year round. Even in complete darkness, you can see your surroundings clearly. Therefore, whether there is light or not has no effect on the dream tapir.

"Hmm...... The clothes are so beautiful! ”

When the Dream Eater Tapir walked by the first floor of the shroud shop, he saw the shrouds hanging on the wall.

But.

The Dream Tapir didn't know that those clothes were shrouds.

It's just that those clothes are usually worn, and even so, those clothes are still very beautiful for the Dream Tapir!

"Where are the stairs ......?"

When the dream-eating tapir came in, it went straight to the stairs where it was going upstairs. Although he didn't ask Chen where the staircase was, the Dream Eater Tapir quickly saw the staircase against the left wall.

The Dream Tapir walked up the stairs to the second floor of the shroud shop.

"Brother...... When will you be back? ”

A woman's voice rang out.

The sound was very clear, and it was not very clear, as if it was a dream of someone who was asleep.

The Dream Eater Tapir was stunned for a moment, intending to hide.

However, it soon occurred to the dream-eating tapir that humans could not see themselves at all.

The dream-eating tapir walked towards the place where the sound came.

"Brother......

In the flickering candlelight, I saw a woman in a red gauze skirt, immersed in sewing an old piece of armor.

The candlelight was printed on the woman's face, which looked very soft.

Women are beautiful.

It's the kind of beauty that makes people feel pity, and it's also the kind of beauty that is lonely......

The dream-eating tapir came to the woman's side, and the woman was still mending the armor in her hand.

The armor looks very old.

Even if you are sewing it, it seems that it is impossible to continue using it.

Not to mention.

This era...... Armor is also useless......

But women don't seem to know this, or women don't care about it at all.

The woman just patiently mended the clothes.

Between the needles and threads, the shadows printed on the walls also become like an elegant painting.

The Dream Eater Tapir circled around the second floor.

The second floor looked like an unused floor, with no furniture except for the house where the woman slept, with a bed.

Even dressers, wardrobes...... None of these must-haves are ......

The dream-eating tapir is leaving.

Looking back at the woman, the woman said dreamily again: "Wait until I mend this armor...... You're going to be back......"

……

The entrance of the shroud shop.

On a cold night, the moonlight shines through the bleak trees, casting dappled light.

Chen Beibei stood at the door, quietly waiting for the Dream Eater Tapir.

The whole shroud shop looked dark, without a trace of light, and Chen Beibei couldn't help but feel sympathy for the owner of the shroud shop.

A woman like a flower, since she will sleep alone at night in the shroud shop Zheng

I won't even turn on the lights......

How many sad past events have you experienced to abandon the hypocrisy on your body so cleanly?

"The host ,......"

The voice of the Dream Eater Tapir sounded at Chen Beibei's feet, and then the Dream Eater Tapir came out of the door of the shroud shop.

"Let's go as we go."

Chen Beibei lowered his voice. After all, it was for people to sneak into the house of a strange woman Rao in the middle of the night, and Chen Beibei was still very worried about being discovered by passers-by.

Even ordinary people can't see the dream-eating tapir.

But.

I was found, late at night, standing alone at the door of a beautiful woman living alone.

It's going to make people suspicious, too.

Chen Beibei left the shroud shop directly with the Dream Tapir, and after walking out of the North District, Chen Beibei began to talk to the Dream Tapir.

"Dream Tapir, did you find anything strange on the second floor of the shroud shop?"

Chen Beibei looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and asked her.

The Dream Eater Tapir followed behind Chen Beibei, and as he walked, he said, "I don't know if what I saw is a strange ......." In short, there was a very beautiful woman, who was upstairs sewing armor, and from time to time a few words came out of her mouth......"

"Who is the woman talking to?"

Chen Beibei hurriedly asked.

The owner of the shroud shop is a person who doesn't like to talk, which is what Chen Beibei knows.

Even the three-tailed fox, who has been working in the shroud shop for several months, has never seen the owner of the shroud shop say a few words. Such a woman, since she will say a few words from time to time......

This made Chen Beibei feel a little strange.

"Master, there's only the woman upstairs, I'...... I don't know who she's talking to......"

The Dream Eater Tapir looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.

"No one?"

"Hmm."

Dream Eater Tapir affirmed.

"Aren't the lights upstairs turned off? Was the woman sewing armor in the dark? ”

Chen Beibei asked.

When Chen Beibei was at the door of the shroud shop, he didn't see the interesting light in the shroud shop.

So.

Chen Beibei will ask that.

"Candles were lit upstairs, but the woman closed the curtains. I guess I don't want others to see me sewing armor in the middle of the night. ”

The Dream Eater Tapir looked at Chen Beibei and replied to him.

Apparently.

Women also know that their behavior is weird, so they do it.

The curtains must be very thick, otherwise it would be impossible to see no light from the outside.

"What's wrong with her?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Brother, when will you come back?"

The dream-eating tapir mimicked the tone of the female rao, and it sounded with a hint of sadness in her voice

"Wait until I mend this armor...... You'll be back. ”

Dream Eater Tapir continued.

The voice doesn't sound like the voice of a dream-eating tapir, it's very similar.

Just listening to the voice, you can feel the anticipation and the loneliness in your heart.

"Is that just those two sentences?"

Chen Beibei asked.

"Hmm."

The Dream Tapir replied.

There is not much information to be gained from these two sentences alone.

Probably.

It's just that the woman is waiting for her brother to come back.

But when you think of a woman like this, it's not hard to guess that her brother may be difficult to come back.

Because if her brother could easily come back. Then there is no need for women to look forward to it.

"Master, that woman is waiting for her brother, right?"

Dream Eater Tapir asked.

"Perhaps."

Chen Beibei looked at the Dream Eater Tapir and replied slowly.

……

Time passed quietly, and it had been a week since Dream Tapir visited the shroud shop at night.

During this week.

Chen Beibei asked Dream Eater to go to the shroud shop every night, but there was still nothing to gain.

And in the past week, there has been no news of the death of young women in Sakura City.

The owner of the shroud shop would take out that old piece of armor every night and mend it. There will be something in the mouth from time to time.,But it's basically related to my brother.。

"Does it really have nothing to do with the owner of the shroud shop?"

Chen Beibei lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, after all, according to the frequency of those young women who died before. Every dozen or so, a young woman dies.

The last woman to die was a sick woman living in the eastern district of Sakura Castle.

His husband loved her very much.

But.

In the end, she still couldn't find the youkai who killed her...... Or...... Find out why she really died!

It's been eight years since the last woman died.

If it was really a monster, and Chen Beibei couldn't find that monster.

Then there is no doubt that soon young women will be killed again.

"Master, what are you worried about?"

Guan Hu asked.

Guan Hu has always lived in Chen Beibei's room, and if Chen Beibei has anything, he will usually tell Guan Hu truthfully.

"In the past few months, there have been frequent deaths of young women in Sakura City, and I have told you about this before, right?"

Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and asked her.

The white slender fox nodded lightly and listened carefully to Chen Beibei's account.

"I have a feeling that new young women will die soon. This thing, if not a coincidence, is basically what the youkai are for......"

Chen Beibei looked at Guan Hu and said to her.

Although Chen Beibei had not seen the seven women who had died before, Chen Beibei had met Gao Jin's wife.

Looking back now, his wife was lying in bed, as if she had fallen asleep.

If it weren't for Gao Jin's previous conversation with his wife's death, Chen Beibei would definitely not think so.

Nurao did not have any scars on her body, and her face was serene......

Perhaps the only thing that can take human lives like this is ghosts.

"Will anyone die again......"

Guan Hu frowned and said slowly.

Because this matter has not been fully announced, the clues that Chen Beibei and they can grasp are too limited.

Even if you guess that someone will continue to die, there is nothing you can do.

"Now we can only hope for ...... The owner of the shroud shop is the murderer of those young women! ”

Chen Beibei replied.

When Chen Beibei said this, it was as if a light flashed in his head.

Suddenly realized...... I seem to have overlooked a very important thing before!

Right!

That's the identity of the owner of the shroud shop!!

Chen Beibei They have always speculated that it was a monster who killed people, but in the previous time, because the three-tailed fox had been working in the shroud shop. Chen Beibei: They never suspected the identity of the owner of the shroud shop.

And the reason why the Dream Eater Tapir has been staring at the owner of the shroud shop is just because Chen Beibei feels that the owner of the shroud shop should have something to do with the death of those young women.

But.

It's just suspicion!

"Master, haven't you been to that shroud shop? Since you have been, it is a monster to kill Rao, so directly use the spiritual eye to see the owner of the shroud shop, whether it is a human or a monster, can't you know if this matter has anything to do with the owner of the shroud shop? ”

Guan Fox Road.

Guan Hu's is exactly what Chen Beibei just thought!

Judging from the current situation, the suspicion of the owner of the shroud shop is still the greatest.

And there is no way to be sure.

It's just that Chen Beibei ignored the identity of the owner of the shroud shop!

Chen Beibei's first yin-yang technique to use Magatama was the Spirit Eye, which was a yin-yang technique that could see the true appearance of ghosts.

"Guan Hu, let's go now!"

Chen Beibei said with some excitement.

The owner of the shroud shop has always been very strange, and the possibility that she is a monster is also very large.

So.

At this time, if Chen Beibei can be sure that she is a monster.

Then you can ask her directly about some of her doubts, after all, if you face a monster, you don't need to be as full of worries as you are when you face humans.

"But it's night."

Guan Hu turned into a human and stood beside the bed: "We're just guessing now." ”

Guan Hu probably thinks that if the middle of the night passes, it may cause some trouble.

After all.

At this time, when they go to a strange woman's house, how can someone else open the door for them?

"Alright then, let's go tomorrow morning."

North Chenbei Road.

Chen Beibei was indeed a little excited just now, so he didn't take into account the problem of time.

"Well, master...... You should be able to fall asleep now, right? ”

Guan Hu looked at Chen Beibei and said with a smile.

"Sleep."

North Chenbei Road.

If this matter is not resolved, Chen Beibei will always be at ease.

After all.

Now that Chen Beibei has become an onmyoji, then if what happens is within the scope of his own ghosts, then he must try his best to solve it.
