Chapter 17 Dog Food Is Poisonous

When I opened my eyes again, the sun wheel on the horizon was already rising, the road in front of me was still so familiar, and the wildflowers on the wasteland were still swaying.

As far as the eye can see, there is a bare cherry blossom forest, and if Wu remembers correctly, this place is called the place of the dead without a mound.

Looking left and right in a daze, there were a number of people standing scattered around, they were dressed in different clothes, including suits and leather shoes, straw sandals and coats, and even armor and military uniforms.

The only thing they have in common is that in the rising sunlight, they all take on a translucent unreality, like the undead, or rather......

They are the undead.

"Hey, old man, how did you die?"

"Me? I accidentally fell into the lake while fishing and drowned, what about you, young man? ”

"Uncle, are you so miserable? I'm fine, I owe some money and can't change it, so I lie on the track at the tram stop in front of my house. ”

"Well, it sounds painful."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's gone in an instant, it's not a big deal, there's a little brother over there who is said to have been stabbed to death by his girlfriend, tsk, that's much worse than me."

"You have a big heart, young man...... Hey, there's a little guy over there. ”

The old man in a lily robe came to Takeya, who was standing in place in a daze, with a bamboo cane.

"Hey, boy, come back to your senses, boy."

"Uh, huh?"

"Oh, I don't think I know where I am, boy."

The old man sighed softly, as if he had seen such a situation countless times, and he said slowly:

"Do you remember how you died? Lad. ”

"Dead?"

Takeya frowned, saying that he only remembered that he had just tasted the curry made by Rokuka, why did he return to Gensokyo for some reason...... Wait a minute!

Looking at the surroundings, Wu Ye, who understood the situation for a moment, suddenly became quite exciting:

“...... Depend on! What is the operation of being poisoned by the dog food sent by yourself! ”

"Poison...... Alas, it seems that your experience seems a bit tragic compared to ours, young man. ”

Seeing Wu Ye's ugly face, the old man sighed slightly and shook his head:

"Mourn and change, since you are dead, don't be nostalgic about the things of this world."

“......”

wanted to cry and point at himself without tears, but Wu Ye couldn't say anything, and he didn't know whether he was angry or depressed.

"You're lucky, young man, it's said that Lord Death is coming to overtake us today, you just in time for no need to stay here, seeing that you are so young, you won't commit any major crimes, and it is estimated that you will be reincarnated soon."

patting Wu Ye's shoulder comfortingly, the old man slowly turned to leave, while muttering incomprehensibly:

"It's strange, it's not supposed to be all suicide people who came here, why did the poisoned soul also come? Could it be that he died by himself? Strange things strange things ......"

Damn, he died like that?

Until now, Wu has no way to accept this fact, saying that he is a good young man, helping others every day, working hard and tiring is the first to go, and the peerless good boy who does good deeds is so lost? Ahh It's a young death!

Let's be reasonable, when he was seventeen years old, he didn't even touch a girl's hand and died?!

Uh, Reimu's can't be counted, Marisa's doesn't count, and Sister Red doesn't count...... Well, Gensokyo can't be counted!

He didn't even touch the hand of a girl from the outside world, and he died! Except for my sister and cousin! That's tragic, isn't it? It's too much!

Squatting on the ground and drawing circles in grief and indignation, Wu Ye didn't even have the desire to live for a while...... Well, he almost forgot that he was dead!

"Damn!"

couldn't help but scold, the annoyance in Wu Ye's heart lingered, he picked up the stone on the ground and threw it forward as if venting, and then-

"Ouch! Hurt! ”

“......”

Luck is such a thing as a thing that really can't be measured with common sense, how can people be unlucky after death, Wu is afraid that he will be the first.

"Which guy threw me with a stone!"

There was a girl's coquettishness in front of me, and when I looked up, I saw a red-haired girl holding a small bump on her head and staring at her unkindly.

"Is that you? How dare you throw a stone at me! Don't want to cross the river! ”

The girl wore a long dress with a white hem on a blue background, a wide belt around her waist, and a pair of thick-soled clogs on her feet, but the most striking thing about her was the majestic bulge on her chest compared to these strange outfits.

Looking at Wu Ye, he was scared into a cold sweat for a while, this, this guy is actually bigger than Wenwen, cough cough! What was I thinking?

"Hug, sorry!"

Hurriedly got up and apologized, in the end it was the stone he threw that hit the other party, he was not so bored that he didn't even dare to admit this little mistake, although he was dead.

"Hey, I thought it was a little broad, but it turned out to be a poor boy, it wasn't smashed for nothing, and I thought about knocking on it......"

“.......”

The girl's scolding and scolding to herself made Takeshi speechless, Miss, why are you more wealthy than Reimu, and can't you say such words in a place where I can't hear them? It's embarrassing to be in front of the person concerned!

“...... Never mind. ”

After staring at herself for a long time, the red-haired girl suddenly put one hand on her waist and said:

"Even if I scold you, it's useless, just throw it into the river later."

“...... That, what the hell are you? ”

looked at the girl who "held a grudge" with a smile, although she had a faint guess, but for that glimmer of hope, Wu Ye still asked.

"Me?"

The red-haired girl shook her hair, showed a hearty smile and said:

"Of course it's death, can't you see it?"

“...... Hehe. ”

I knew it was going to be like this! Wu Ye's heart roared wildly, human luck is really something that cannot be predicted, he offended the god of death as soon as he died, could it really be the same as what the guy in Dansheng Valley said, he was cursed, right?

Wu Ye, who had already given up treatment, pulled his head deafly and asked gloomily:

"Hey, I say, isn't the Grim Reaper supposed to stay on the Santu River? There's no grave here. ”

"Huh? How do you know that the Grim Reaper works on the Samtu River? ”

glanced at Wu Ye in surprise, the red-haired girl didn't hide anything, and directly told him the reason:

"The Grim Reaper's job is indeed on the Santu River, but yesterday I went to Gensokyo to find someone to have a drinking party, oops, I didn't wake up until I drank until morning, and I forgot everything about my work, so in order to make up for it a little, I stopped by and didn't have a chance to extradite some undead, hahaha."

Are the Grim Reapers' all such laid-back guys? Can skipping work be so freewheeling? Thinking of the tragic souls who had nowhere to go, and then thinking of himself who had now become one of them, Wu Ye inexplicably felt a little sad.

The future is dark.

"Okay, the nonsense is also said to be so, if you don't work again, you will be preached by Lord Shiji."

Clapping her hands together, the red-haired girl shouted:

"Yo, everyone, pay attention to ——!"

Her voice seemed to have a special charm, and for a moment all the undead turned their eyes to her.

"It's time to go, guys."

The words of death fell, and a wonderful thing happened, only to see that the many undead who were originally translucent all seemed to have evaporated into a burst of firefly-like light particles, and finally the whole body shrank into a dark blue sphere, dragging a long trail to the red-haired girl's side, hovering around her.

The red-haired girl watched this scene with satisfaction, and Wu Ye watched all this with a little freshness, and then, the two glanced at each other, only to see the girl of death tilting her head cutely:

"Huh? How are you still humanoid? ”
