Chapter 905: The Past of Four Hundred Years Ago (Subscription Requested)
There are very few episodes of Hell Girl.
Because of this, this is also the first TV animation to end this summer, earlier than "Super Cool Cat" and "Wild Story".
The first season of the anime only had 26 episodes.
The first 23 episodes can be said to be unit dramas, that is, one episode of one incident, without a continuous plot, and there is no explanation of the origin and identity of the hell girl Enma Love.
But since episode 24, the plot has changed, no longer a new client, but a flashback perspective to explain to the audience the mystery of the identity and origin of the "Hell Girl".
Enma Love!
This hell girl is not new to modern times, and the urban legends about her are not new in recent years.
In fact, she appeared a long time ago, although she looks like a young little girl, but Xiao Ai's real age is definitely beyond the imagination of the audience.
More than 400 years ago, at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty.
In a small village called Rokudogue, young Enma Ai is considered an ominous person because of her special abilities, and is often bullied by her peers in the village, thanks to the protection of her cousin.
In the blink of an eye, spring went to winter, and it was the day of "sending seven" in the village.
The so-called "Seven Days" refers to the fact that in this remote village, the villagers worship a seven-year-old girl at the mountain temple every seven years in order to pray for good weather and good weather.
The elders of the village have decided that this year's selection of seven people will be Xiao Ai.
They persuaded Xiao Ai's parents, saying that it was a very honorable thing, and although Xiao Ai's cousin tried his best to dissuade them, they were never able to change the decision of the elders.
Seeing that her cousin cared so much about Xiao Ai, Xiao Ai's parents hoped that her cousin would regularly send her food and clothes to protect Xiao Ai after she was sent to the temple in the mountains.
My cousin didn't want to agree, but looking at Xiao Ai's innocent eyes, he nodded and agreed.
In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.
This year's crop harvest was very poor, and the villagers were worried about the coming winter, just at this time, the news that Xiao Ai was still alive was discovered by the villagers.
Oh, my God!
No one was excited about this, and everyone showed angry eyes, because everyone thought that it was Xiao Ai's family who violated the sacrificial customs, which provoked the anger of the mountain god and led to the lack of grain harvest this year.
The villagers knocked Xiao Ai's family unconscious and tied them up, dug a pit in front of the temple and planned to bury them alive, and Xiao Ai's cousin needed to fill in the soil by himself because he helped Xiao Ai survive.
At this time, Xiao Ai has actually woken up.
Looking at those ignorant, crazy, cruel and unaware villagers, as well as the cousin who started to fill in the soil, Xiao Ai's eyes flowed with tears of resentment.
"I hate you all!"
Xiao Ai's last blood and tears seem to be a curse, and it also hints at the final fate of the villagers.
By the spring of the following year.
On a full moon night, Xiao Ai's cousin couldn't stand all this and decided to leave the village quietly.
But not long after he left, he turned around and suddenly found that the direction of the village was lit up with fire, and when he took a closer look, there was still the figure of the dead Xiao Ai in front of the fire.
My cousin laughed and ran through the mountains and forests without looking back, ignoring the thorn-cut wounds on his face and hands.
Later, my cousin returned to Liudaogui and settled here, where he had children and produced offspring.
Many years later.
Cai Tian, an independent journalist who is a descendant of Xiao Ai's cousin, learns that his daughter can occasionally see the sights in the eyes of the Hell Maiden, so he decides to use this ability to make a report about the truth about the Hell Maiden.
But in the course of the investigation, Cai Tian changed his mind when he learned that the Hell Girl was not a so-called urban rumor, but a real existence that would send an individual to hell, and the client would not escape the doom.
He wanted to stop people from using Hell Communications to seek revenge more than news reports, and to find Hell Maiden herself and tell her that it was wrong......
As the investigation deepens, the events of 400 years ago gradually surface, and Xiao Ai's dusty memories are slowly awakening.
Cai Tian's daughter advises her father not to stop the Hell Maiden, because the Hell Maiden sends away all the bad people.
By sharing the vision of the Hell Maiden, Cai Tian's daughter Xiaodong learns that the next victim is a nurse. Based on her previous experience, she judged that this nurse was only pretending to be kind and enthusiastic on the surface, but secretly she must be a bad guy.
But she was wrong this time.
Through the observation of Xiao Dong, it was found that this nurse was really the kind of good person who appeared on the outside, but she was sent to hell in the end, and the client was an out-and-out pervert.
In the end, the pervert also committed suicide by poisoning, and his purpose seems to be just to go to hell with the nurse......
"Being sent to hell by such an inexplicable person, do you still think that the hell girl is the embodiment of justice?"
His father's words made Xiao Dongwan realize that the hell girl was not necessarily a messenger of justice. All she accepts is a resentful commission, but is the object of the client's resentment really a bad person?
The truth of four hundred years ago surfaced, and Enma Ai, who remembered everything, also learned that Cai Tian's father and daughter were actually cousins' descendants, and decided to kill the killer, but this also violated the taboo.
The Three-Eyed Spider saved Cai Tian's father and daughter, and at the same time took away Enma Love.
Back in front of the dilapidated mountain temple, Cai Tian's father and daughter, who were lucky to be saved, expressed their opinions respectively.
Xiao Dong said that he could understand Yan Moai, but Cai Tian said that he could understand Xiao Ai's cousin, and the positions of the father and daughter seemed to be divergent again.
At this moment, little Ai, who was about to be brought back to hell by the Three-Eyed Spider, was too strong in revenge, and broke free from the shackles and returned to the world.
This time, she came to Xiao Dong and showed her the scenes of Xiao Dong's mother's death, in a vain attempt to arouse Xiao Dong's resentment towards his father and take revenge.
"It's hard to live without a mother, isn't it?"
Ai handed the scarecrow with the red rope tied to Xiao Dong, trying to control Xiao Dong's consciousness, untie the red rope, and send herself and her father to hell.
Just when Xiao Dong was about to untie the red rope, Cai Tian rushed back in time and woke up Xiao Dong, and the father and daughter untied their hearts and got back together.
The red rope scarecrow sent by Xiao Ai returned to her hands intact for the first time.
Looking at the father and daughter hugging each other and crying, Xiao Ai seemed to understand something, and remembered the bits and pieces of how she got along with her cousin four hundred years ago under the cherry blossom tree.
"Your cousin must have always liked you, so he regretted it and returned to Liudaogui to build the Seven Boys Temple."
Seven Children's Temple!
Seven Boys......
Holding the red rope scarecrow handed back by Xiao Dong, listening to her words, facing the cherry blossoms flying in the sky, Xiao Ai was already in tears.
When the illusion disappears, the three of them come to the Seven Boys Temple built by Xiao Ai's cousin himself, but Xiao Ai reaches out and destroys the temple.
This move not only represents that Hell Girl has completely let go of the resentment of the year, but also represents the end of the first season of the animation "Hell Girl".
