Chapter 6: Hellbox

If I'm not mistaken, the rusty bronze box that the ponytail ghost just picked up from the ground should be what they call the Hell Box.

I just wanted these two ghosts to take out the hell box first, so that I could study the use of that thing, and then try to snatch it from them, but I didn't expect this ponytail ghost to be so precious that he refused to hand over the hell box to the student ghost at all.

The student ghost could never have imagined that they had been hunting together for many years, and that ponytail ghost would use a hellbox against him.

This is fine, but it saves me a lot of things, I looked at the ponytail ghost and shook my head: "This kid is afraid that he is stupid to read, and he didn't even realize that you opened the hell box in the first place." ”

"You're smart, but it's not that he doesn't know, but he didn't expect it." The ponytail ghost said as he looked at me condescendingly and giggled: "Little brother, do you think that my method is much more reliable than yours?" ”

"Unexpected?"

I feel unspeakably awkward about being called my little brother by an old ghost who has been dead for I don't know how many years, and she calls me like this, I'm afraid of breaking her ghost life.

"yes, I didn't expect that." The ponytail ghost was very proud, but he didn't want to say anything more to me, so he said, "You're about to become a part of my body, what are you doing with so many questions?" When I eat you, won't you know everything? ”

The ponytail ghost said as she opened her weird mouth to me.

I guessed that she should have spit out too much dry goods just now, so she couldn't wait to eat me now, and hurriedly said: "He didn't expect it, because this box has a statute of limitations, and the fight you just now is in a state of high-speed movement, if you want the hell box to take effect, unless you both are in the hunting range of the box at the same time." ”

My reasoning succeeded in causing the ponytail's half-open mouth to froze, and her head began to open and close regularly: "Oh? You continue. ”

"But if both of you are in the hunting range of the box at the same time, then there is a good chance that you will both be trapped in the hell box and become the prey of the hell box." I smiled and affirmed, "That's why he didn't expect you to dare to do this." ”

"Giggle......" the ponytail ghost let out a shrill and strange laugh, still very proud, "It's very dangerous and too risky, but well, I just need to pretend that he was injured at the last moment and leave the hunting range of the box." ”

The ponytail ghost said, leaning her head close to me, "I've used this box a lot, and I'm quite familiar with its abilities and effects, I'm not like the waste who committed suicide because he lost his report card. ”

"Really? But I don't think you're any smarter than him. I said, pointing behind the ponytail, "This girl has been standing behind you for a while, haven't you noticed?" ”

"Your hands?" The ponytail ghost didn't even turn around, and said in surprise: "Impossible! How could you possibly untie the soul lock?! ”

I spread my hands: "I really want to tell you why, but unfortunately this girl is a violent temper, I don't think you have a chance to know why." ”

And at the moment when I finished saying this, the whole ghost of the ponytail ghost also turned into a wisp of black smoke in front of me, and his soul flew away.

As the black smoke cleared, a palm-sized spoon was only a finger's length from the tip of my nose.

"I said, why are you so anxious, girl? Can't you let people die as a ghost? I reached out and pushed the spoon away a bit, and smiled, "This broken spoon is what you call the treasure they took?" ”

"Broken spoon? Do you have eyes, bastard? Dare to say that the old lady's spoon is a broken spoon? The fierce girl put away the big spoon and said mockingly: "Heh, I knew that you liked to chat with this guy so much, and the old lady shouldn't have saved you, so that you can cultivate your relationship for a long time." ”

I stood up from the pile of stumps, symbolically patted the ash on my body that I couldn't get off at all, wiped the dark green slime on the pile of stumps on the warehouse pipe, and then looked down at this fierce girl who could beat her soul to the point of no juice left with a spoonful: "What kind of relationship do I cultivate with her?" Am I not all here to help you stall? ”

The fierce girl got cheap and sold hard: "Come on, I think you must be idle in your life, and it is also a skill to be able to be with these two ghosts for so long." ”

I didn't bother to argue with a woman, and when I saw that there was a rusty bronze box in the place where the ponytail ghost was scattered, I stepped forward and picked it up.

"This is what you call a hell box?"

The fierce girl looked down at the bronze box I was playing with in my hand, and said slowly: "Hillbilly, although this thing is called a hell box, in fact it is not a box at all, but a monster. ”

"Ah, it's a monster."

For me, who was already a ghost, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the small box in front of me that could be used to store souls was a so-called monster.

"Be careful, this monster's body is actually a worm, not everyone can use it, if you don't get it right, it will probably bite you."

"You mean, this thing is a worm? It also bites?? I took a closer look at the box in my hand, and I couldn't see that this thing had a half-dime relationship with the bug, and I really couldn't accept the thing I was holding in my hand, from a dead thing, suddenly to a worm that would writhe and bite people.

The fierce girl looked at me and said, "No, it never bites, it only bites ghosts." ”

I was stunned and smiled: "Ah, I'm not, didn't I just die?" It's still a little uncomfortable. ”

"Hell box, simply put, is a box that can trap souls, the cause is unknown, the souls locked by the box will be tied to the soul rope, as for whether the box itself needs any nutrients or something, I don't know." The silly girl paused, and then changed her words: "However, since its body is a worm, then the worm must need to eat." ”

After hearing this, I suddenly had an urge to throw away this ghost thing, and hurriedly handed the hell bug, phew, hell box to the fierce girl: "Come, this ghost thing is for you, let's get together and disperse, and go our own way." ”

The fierce girl looked down at the box, then looked at me, and didn't take it: "This box was stolen by this female ghost after the disorder of the underworld, I hate insects, this thing will be put here for the time being......" There was some hesitation in her eyes: "...... You've just died, so you probably don't know it, the ghost world...... That is, the netherworld that you knew when you were alive has now been reduced to the kingdom of evil spirits, and the path you want to take is a dead end. ”
