Isn't Shang Yang a sheep? The human in front of him looks like a white wing... Is it really a youkai?

"The merchant sheep knows the things of the rain, and the sky is raining, and he dances with one foot. Lu Ke explained my doubts in a timely manner, "The merchant sheep is not a sheep, but a white bird, it likes rainy days, and can sense the bad luck of rain, and whenever the rain that brings a harvest comes, it will dance on one leg where the rain can reach, and people can dig ditches and ditches to prepare for irrigation of the fields." ”

"Meaning, Shang Yang is not a monster, but a kind of monster?"

"Well, there are a lot of merchant sheep, most of them are near farmland, friendly and close to humans," Luke said, "they are very territorial, and each merchant sheep has its own fixed activity area, so it is difficult to see two or more merchant sheep dancing together." ”

"I thought Shang Yang was a monster that controlled the rain, but it turned out to be a messenger of the rain. I said.

"The size of the Shang Yang's wings represents the strength of its demon power, this is only the largest Shang sheep I have ever seen, but it is difficult for most Shang sheep to grow to such a point," Lu Ke pinched his chin and said, "To have such a beautiful human appearance, it is not an ordinary Shang Yang, and it is estimated that it took a lot of effort to arrest the court." ”

Monsters that can take on human form are not ordinary monsters.

"Why was it caught?" I asked.

"False alarm," said Lu Ke, "in the spring of this year, many people saw the dance of this merchant sheep, thought it was a good omen of spring rain, and sowed seeds one after another, but they did not expect that the spring rain did not come, but came a flash flood." She covered her mouth with her hand, and in a low voice, I struggled to hear clearly, "A lot of people died. ”

"Silence!" Judge Rabbit waved his hammer again, "Shang Yang, today is the last time you have the opportunity to tell the reason for the incident, if you still keep silent, we can only take the final way." "The judge spoke with a majestic voice, which did not match the image of the cute rabbit in the slightest.

The courtroom was quiet all of a sudden, and everyone's eyes were focused on Shang Yang in the center of the courtroom.

The ultimate way... Eighty percent is a cruel way, otherwise everyone would be serious.

The white wings of the merchant sheep were slightly retracted, its eyes were flushed with water blue, its skin was white and glowing, it tilted its head slightly, and its gaze was fixed on me.

Odd... What is it looking at me? No, no, maybe it's me doing it again, it's looking at other people, just like the rabbit I met before I came to give Zong'an umbrella, yes, it must be so.

I breathe a sigh of relief when I think of this, this kind of thing like a court trial will definitely not involve a little person like me.

"Why is it staring at you?" my heart, which I had finally relaxed, was raised to my throat by Lu Ke's words.

"You think so too?" I asked.

"yes, it's clearly looking at you. ”

"Maybe it's up to you?" I said, luckily.

"Hmm... No, it's just looking at you," Lu Ke nodded defiantly, "Know?"

"I don't know. I answered truthfully.

"It's good if you don't know. Lu Ke said, "It's better not to get involved in this matter, it's not a good thing to be targeted by the monster court." ”

"Isn't the Yokai Court just about Yokai?"

"That's true, but in essence, the Yokai Court is an institution that exists to control the relationship between humans and demons," said Shikake, "mainly to control the Yokai with human functions, and the people with Yokai functions." For example, Shang Yang has the function of a human rain messenger, and the monsters with functions can receive wages, and there will also be assessments and punishments. ”

Can youkai still get paid?

"What about the person, what do you mean by someone who has the functions of a monster?" I said.

"For example, we except for the demons, and you, the ghostwriter, we are all within the scope of the court's surveillance," Lu Ke said, "Generally speaking, the monster court is mainly to try monsters that have caused serious consequences due to dereliction of duty, but there have also been cases of judging humans." ”

... I was unknowingly included in the person with the function of a monster...

"There should be a lawyer or something in the courtroom?" I said, "but you don't seem to see it?"

"This is the horror of the Yokai Court, where the judgment depends entirely on the votes of the humans and the Yokai present. In other words, as long as you can convince the guys here, you must be innocent, not to mention that most of the monsters at the scene are just here to see the fun, and they are obviously impatient with Shang Yang. ”

... Isn't the silent merchant sheep killing himself?

"I think Shang Yang is more than lucky," said Lu Ke, "otherwise you wouldn't have been invited—" she suddenly covered her mouth.

"Me?"

"Shhhh ”

Lu Ke's abnormality made me even more uneasy, and Shang Yang retracted his gaze at this time and lowered his head again.

Judge Rabbit pushed his glasses, "Shang Yang, the assessment of the last quarter showed that due to your false alarm, more than 100 people were affected by the flood, and even some people are still missing, as the rain messenger of the human race, your mistake can be said to be quite serious for both the monster and the human, and your salary for the next three years has been deducted as a punishment, now you only need to tell who the monster caused the flood is, and you can continue to return to your beloved hometown as a messenger," the rabbit said, " If you still harbor this monster, you will have to bear the consequences. ”

Shang Yang lowered his head and said nothing.

"The data shows that the flash flood was caused by heavy rain," Judge Rabbit frowned, flipping through the file in his hand, "Your area will not have heavy rain in that season, the only possibility is that a certain monster that can cause heavy rain appears in a place where it should not appear, and you, as a messenger who can sense the bad luck of rain, not only misreported it, but also protected the monster that caused the rainstorm until now, so you are not afraid of going to jail?"

Shang Yang looked up at me again and finally spoke.

"It's me, it's me who caused the rain," it said, "and my demonic power is enough to cause the rainstorm, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." ”

After a brief silence, the audience was in an uproar.

"Can you cause a rainstorm?

"Name the culprit!

"Are we all stupid! Do you even take the court seriously?"

There were cursing and cursing, and the stones and eggs that were constantly thrown at the merchant sheep.

It seems that many youkai were victims of the flood...

"Silence!" Judge Rabbit knocked on the table again, "Shang Yang, you go on. ”

Shang Yang didn't care about his soiled wings in the slightest, and he even laughed.

"In your eyes, is Shang Yang just a weak and incompetent bird?" It spread its wings, its white wings set off a strong wind in the field, and its blue eyes were full of waves, "What do you think is going on with the rainstorm in City A these days?

A strong sense of oppression swept in, and the stadium was extremely riotous for a while, the little demons fled one after another, and the only elevator that could leave was suddenly crowded, and the stands were half empty in an instant.

I saw Lu Ke's hand put in the bag, and watched vigilantly at the merchant sheep with wings spread.

Almost at the same time, a demonic force more threatening than Shang Yang appeared in another part of the venue, and I looked over to see that it was Zong An, who was sitting comfortably in the first row, playing with the charm in his hand.

Shang Yang must have also felt the oppression from Zong'an's demonic power, it sighed, retracted its wings, and turned its gaze to me again.

This gaze actually looks like... Implore?

Yes, it was pleading with me, and the waves in its eyes had disappeared, and its eyes were saying, "Let me go."

What did you do?

Suddenly, someone tapped me on the shoulder, and when I turned my head, I saw that Zong An didn't know when he came from his seat.

"Ye Ke, what's going on?" he asked, apparently sensing the contents of Shang Yang's gaze as well.

I shook my head.

"Why are you here?" Lu Ke exclaimed, "Go and see Shang Yang!"

Zong An motioned to Lu Ke not to speak, but his eyes kept on me, "Before you came, Shang Yang never spoke, but after you came, Shang Yang did not hesitate to make up such a lie, why?"

"I don't know. I also stared at Zong An, "You brought me here, shouldn't you tell me what happened?"

He was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Yes, after coming back from the time gap, I have the confidence to speak. ”

"Before, Lu Ke said that Shang Yang is more auspicious, otherwise even I wouldn't be invited," I asked, "plus Shang Yang and your reaction just now, you should know something, right?"

Zong An looked at Lu Ke who pretended that nothing had happened, and sighed, "Actually, we are too..."

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency!" interrupted Zong An in an urgent voice, "Oh, no, no!"

It's the unicorn fairy I saw in the elevator just now.

"What a fuss. Judge Rabbit replied, and I realized that the venue was in a mess, but Judge Rabbit was still standing in place, "Tell me well, what's wrong." ”

"Outside, outside! It's raining!" The unicorn panicked.

"The pronunciation is not accurate, it rains, what are you anxious about. Judge Rabbit said.

"No, it's really fishing!" said the unicorn, "and so many fish, pouring down like a rainstorm!"
