Chapter 45: Destroying the Shadow
Katsu, who was burned to death, became a youkai and was called "Shadow" because he could control the shadows of all living things.
Shadow, who became a youkai, resents all humans and will kill and eat every human it sees.
It loves nothing more than to watch humans kill each other, souls dying in despair, horror, and resentment.
— just like it's doing now.
Although the experience of Shadow becoming a monster is very sad, but the negative karma it has been contaminated with after becoming a monster is very huge, so Qiao Xi has no intention of pity, and after knowing its characteristics, he simply and rudely caught it.
Shadow's form is a humanoid, surrounded by a terrifying black resentment, and countless resentful spirits twist and scream behind Shen, not knowing whether they want to escape or what they want to do.
Because Watanabe Yuki had already come to his senses at this time, Qiao Xi thought about it, and used the yin-yang technique taught to him by Harimi to put an enchantment to trap the shadow.
- But speaking of which, there is actually a kind of yin-yang technique used for bondage, but Qiao Xi didn't learn it, and he could only choose to use the enchantment under the eyes of humans.
Well, no matter what, just keep the youkai in check.
Qiao Xi walked up to the barrier and looked at the shadow.
The shadow locked in the barrier struggled and screamed like a trapped beast, and the sharp sound became faint after penetrating the barrier, but the temples of those who still listened jumped.
"Now, what about the children at the shrine?"
"Click, shit! You all deserve to die! Damn humans......"
“……”
Shadow is so obsessed with resentment that he doesn't listen to anyone at all.
Firefly's eyes lit up, and she eagerly raised the dandelion in her hand: "My lord, I'll come!" ”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows and glanced at her, and found that Firefly's eyes looked bright and shiny in the night, and she was undoubtedly very excited.
He thought about it for a while, and glanced back at Watanabe Yuki, who stared at the firefly a little confused, and then pretended to be casual and glanced at Qiao Xi several times.
"Damn! Damn it! I hate it so much! Humans!! ”
Shadow was still howling loudly, and Qiao Xi glanced at the crazy youkai who was completely unconscious, and then nodded.
Firefly's big eyes bent and took the initiative to step into the enchantment that closed the shadow.
After a burst of dust, Firefly walked out satisfied, and smiled shyly at Qiao Xi: "My lord, it's willing to say." ”
Watanabe watched in amazement as the shapeless shadow that had lost its shape after the dust subsided, and he was dying, telling what he knew.
Ignoring its habitual cursing of humans during its narrative, it was a matter of minutes before and after a few minutes, everyone knew how it had been at the shrine.
Speaking of which, when Kage came here, he found a few children in the shrine, and his resentment towards humans was very deep, and he was very excited when he saw these children, and when he was about to eat them, he was stopped by a lantern ghost.
The lantern ghost is actually a youkai turned into a discarded lantern.,This lantern ghost is known to the heavenly evil ghost.,Usually like pranks like the heavenly evil ghost.。
However, after taking in the human children, it discovers that these children are not as visible at night as the yokai, so it consciously finds the meaning of the demon life, and every day it guards the door of the shrine to light the way for the children at night.
- just blocked the shadow.
However, the Lantern Ghost is really rubbish as a youkai, and it will only blow or stick out its tongue with its leaky body.
But fortunately, it's a lantern ghost, it's not a demon.
There are not many youkai in this mountain who like children, and when they heard the screams of the lantern ghosts, the little monsters came running together.
- Even if you can't beat it, just bring the children out first.
So in the few minutes that Shadow was haunted by the lantern ghost, a group of youkai quickly and quietly took away the children in the shrine.
After Shadow eats the lantern ghost, he finds that the shrine is empty.
It was very angry with all kinds of jumping feet, but it was useless.
Just as it was contemplating whether to leave or stay, it felt a large wave of human breath approaching this way.
It was instantly excited, lit the candle on the table to make light, and then hid in the shadows and waited quietly.
The development after this was just like what Joe had experienced.
After the shadow ghost finished crying wolf, there was a moment of silence around them.
- Qiao regrets that they are thinking, and Shadow is a little nervous waiting for the consequences he will face.
Qiao Xi thought for a few seconds, and after confirming that its words were true, he turned his fingers, and then made a somewhat strange gesture, and said a few words in his mouth.
The scorching light emanated from the barrier, and Watanabe Yuki raised his hand in horror to block his eyes and listened to the extremely tragic cry of the shadow, opened his mouth, and swallowed back the words that had reached his throat.
When the light in the enchantment gradually disappeared, Watanabe Yuki put his hand down and looked at the enchantment.
- Nothing.
He opened his mouth again, wanting to ask where Ying was, but somehow he didn't dare to speak.
- I guess it's been wiped out.
Watanabe Yuki thought about the experience of turning into a monster as Hotaru said, and some compassion was inexplicably born in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he looked at the enchantment that had been emptied.
INTERVIEWER Are people more terrible or youkai are more terrifying?
Then he shook his head vigorously, not wanting to think about this question anymore, but after all, he couldn't help but wonder when he looked at Qiao Xi's gaze.
Qiao Xi put down his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then dispersed the enchantment.
The ground in the enchantment was affected by the resentment of the shadow, and several small grasses had already withered and blackened, and Qiao Xi, as a Fengyue god, frowned a little unhappily when he saw this scene.
Firefly tilted her head, and moved her foot to the side at the right time, just blocking Watanabe Yuki's sight to look at Qiao Xi, Qiao Xi blinked, and a faint light green light emanated from the palm of his hand, and the grass that he protected under his hand gradually became green again.
Qiao Xi hooked his lips slightly, smiled slightly, and picked up a black drop-shaped gem in the grass and held it in his hand.
Firefly blinked. She didn't notice that Qiao Xi picked up anything from the ground, but when she saw that Qiao Xi looked in a pretty good mood with her eyes bent, she smiled slightly with her eyes bent.
Watanabe Yuki's expression looked a little stunned, staring at the obviously relaxed look on Qiao Xi's face, his pupils couldn't help but shrink suddenly.
Qiao Xi tilted his head, glanced at him, and said, "Well, next, just ask the monsters around here who have seen those children." ”
