The mysterious man said with a hint of reminiscence, "This has to start with a famous fairy tale of Inazuma."

"A long, long time ago somewhere, there was a red ghost and a green ghost, they were very good friends, the red ghost looks like a ghost but is as gentle as a human, and the green ghost looks like a human but is as withdrawn as a ghost."

"The red ghost wants everyone to be friends, but people are afraid of the ghost, and they throw beans on him, and they don't want to be close to the red ghost."

"So the green ghost made an idea to the red ghost and said, as long as I go to the village and make trouble, then you will come and defeat me, so that the people will accept you."

The mysterious man "according to the method that the green ghost said, the red ghost beat the green ghost, the red ghost is known for his kindness and bravery, and the people finally accept the red ghost, but when the red ghost wants to tell the green ghost the good news, the green ghost has disappeared, leaving only a letter. ”

It reads, "I'm going on a trip, and if you come to me again, you'll be treated as a bad boy." Don't worry about me, no matter where I go up there, we're good friends. 】”

"Later, then, how happened to the green ghost?" Paimon hurriedly asked.

"Later, the green ghost disappeared, and now only the red ghost remains." The mysterious man said with some emotion.

Paimon said a little unbearably, "Woo woo, why is such a green ghost such a good boy—"

"Does this fairy tale have anything to do with reality?" Ying asked.

The mysterious man replied, "Of course, because there is a saying that . . . Fairy tales are adapted from stories, and based on what I've heard about Arataki Kazuto during this time, he should be the descendant of the red ghost in the story. ”

Suddenly, a voice interrupted the conversation between Ying and Paimon, saying, "yes, yes, I didn't expect you to know so much, although the ghost clan sacrificed a lot back then to finally integrate into the human race, but the character of the ghost clan still has an element of instability." ”

"This kind of instability is inherited from the bloodline, and Arataki Itto hasn't done anything bad before, but maybe one day his temperament will change drastically?"

"Huh? Coral, how are you here. Paimon scratched his head.

Sango is a detective, an intelligence dealer that Ying and Paimon met when they were commissioning Inazuma before, and the price is still very high, but luckily someone mentioned to help them pay for it, otherwise the two would definitely turn around and leave.

Coral replied, "You are not far from our store, I heard the sound and came over, and I prepared information waiting for you to come, but I didn't expect to be the first to be taken, but I will not return the reward of the Heavenly Leader." ”

Paimon said to Sango, "But in that case, wouldn't the red ghost betray the green ghost's wishes?"

"That was a long time ago. The green ghost has not appeared for an unknown amount of time, and it is estimated that it has long since died out, and there is naturally no way to talk about betrayal. Coral said indifferently, "And... Now that the parties have already admitted it, what is there to doubt? ”

The mysterious man listened to Sango's words and said with some emotion: "No, no. ”

Coral looked at the mysterious man in the black cloak with some fear, and whispered to Ying: "This friend of yours seems to be in an unstable mood, according to my speculation, he may also be a member of the ghost clan, and his costume is likely to be from the green ghost clan." ”

"And you're going to say that?" Paimon said to Coral in surprise.

"This, it's not that I didn't have the confidence to observe before, according to my investigation, Arataki Itto is heading in the southwest direction, and it is very likely that he has already arrived at Yayu Island, and the Heavenly Leader has no way to arrest people within the control of the Coral Palace Army now, so there are enough reasons for Arataki Itto to flee there."

"Huh? Why is that? Paimon wondered.

"Huh? Don't you know yet? Coral wondered.

Paimon replied, "I don't know, we just came here today." ”

"So that's the case, it's not a secret, I won't charge you for it, it's that before Raiden General personally captured all the people of the Sango Palace army, along with the Sangoku Palace Kokomi, to help build Inazuma, and now the construction of Inazuma is almost complete, although there are still some small shortcomings, but it can be officially opened to the outside world."

Sango explained, "So, after Raiden Shogun has done this, he will divide the island under the command of the Sangonomiya Army, and the Shogunate Army will not intervene in their territory if the Sangonomiya Army does not resist. ”

Paimon suddenly said, "I see, it turns out that what Ryuko said about Kokomi Sangonomiya being captured by Raiden Shogun is true. ”

"Yes, many of us saw it at the time, when Raiden Shogun was expressionless and flew down with one hand in the heart of the Sango Palace, and fell directly to the castle tower, we thought something big had happened, but we got the gossip that it was because the Sangonomiya Kokomi was lazy and was exposed by her subordinates, so the Raiden Shogun personally went to arrest the people."

Paimon: "."

Ying: "."

Hearing Sango's words, Paimon asked with a tangled little face, "Later, what about later?" ”

"Later, ah, then there was nothing, it was that Sangonomiya Kokomi was arranged by Raiden General to build some things about Inazuma." Coral said as she spread her hands over Paimon.

"Okay, okay, thank you for the information." Ying also said with a tangled little face, she didn't expect Luzi to be so ruthless.

Coral smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, it's as it should be, besides, I didn't say much." ”

"Wait, I still have a question, if this person named Arataki Itto has a big change in temperament, will he be very vicious and irritable?" Paimon suddenly thought of something and asked at Sango.

"It should be, judging from his previous fights with others, he is very good at fighting, and has a brute force, you don't know if you can subdue him."

"Is it also useful to tell the story about sprinkling beans on the ghost clan?" Paimon continued to ask.

"Oh, I remembered when you said that, Arataki Itto seems to be allergic to beans." Hearing Paimon's words, Sango suddenly said, "The Oni are a little afraid of beans, and he is especially scared, and it is said that he can't touch them." ”

"If you can make him allergic and weak, you can bring him back without a hitch."

"It doesn't seem like there's anything particularly necessary, does it? He shouldn't be able to beat me. Ying thought for a moment and said.

Paimon spoke, "No, he's a ghost, you must know that in Liyue, demons and demons can all be grouped together, and he must be very strong, and besides, you don't have to think too much about evildoers, besides, it will save you some effort, right?" ”

Ying listened to Paimon's words and bowed her head, "What you said makes sense. ”

"I happen to have a bag of beans here, which was originally used for cooking porridge, so I'll leave it to you." After Sango, he took out a small bag of beans and handed it to Ying.

"-The money for the beans, I'll find the association to calculate it separately."

Listening to Sango's words, Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Sure enough, it's not good for you to come over, but thank you"

Coral smiled and said: "Hehe, isn't this a win-win cooperation, you got the information without any loss, and I can also make a lot of money." ”

Paimon said with a tangled face, "Okay, then we'll go to Yayu Island to find someone." ”

"Thank you for your patronage, and continue to look for me next time you have such a good thing." Looking at the departing few people, Coral greeted from behind.

Paimon: "."

"Well, are you alright?" Ying looked at the mysterious man who was a little wrong and asked in a low voice.

The mysterious man shook his head and said, "No, it's fine. ”

At this time, Yingya walked outside Inazuma Castle, she looked around and said, "Okay, then let's leave for Yatsuma Island now." ”

Ying shouted again, "Respond to me, Elysia!" ”

After saying that, Ying's farewell queen gave birth to a pair of golden wings again, and flew towards the direction of Bayu Island with a whoosh.

The mysterious man asked, "Is Elysia a new demon god?" ”

"No, it's just a useless slogan, Ying likes to say that, let's hurry up and keep up." Paimon explained, chasing after Ying.

Mystery Man: "."

After Ying and Paimon arrived on Yayu Island, they followed the guidance of the mysterious man and found a tall and strong man with red oni horns on his head.

Paimon and Ying huddled behind a patch of grass and talked quietly.

Paimon whispered, "That should be Arataki Itto, right?" ”

"It should be." Ying looked at the man and spoke.

"He's the only ghost clan here, and looking at the color of the horns, there is no doubt that he is indeed a red ghost clan." The mystery man explained.

Paimon suggested to Ying, "Alright, Ying secretly sprinkle beans on him and see if it works like in the story." ”

"No problem, I'm a professional in sneak attacks." Ying said with a smug face.

Hearing Ying's words, Paimon couldn't help but complain, "Hey! Why are you so proud when you say this? This is obviously not a glorious thing, right? ”

Ying tilted her head at Paimon and said, "Hey! ”

Paimon: "."

Mystery Man: "? ”

Looking at Paimon with a tangled face and the mysterious man who was silent, Ying didn't pay any attention to them, quietly took out the bag of beans given by Coral and poured them into her hand, and when she got close enough to throw them, she threw all the beans in her hand onto Arataki Itto with precision.

Arataki Itto was suddenly attacked by the beans thrown by Ying, and suddenly turned his head, this action made Yingying hurriedly put on a fighting posture, but Arataki Itto did not attack immediately, but stayed in place and made a somewhat uncomfortable sound with his throat between his throats.

"Hmm, hmm."

Paimon hurriedly flew over to him and said, "You, are you okay?" ”

Arataki Itto: "!! ”

"What to do, it seems to be much more serious than expected!" Looking at Arataki Itto, whose face was as painful as if he was about to last his last breath, Paimon said with some anxiety.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's just allergies," Arataki said, but his voice didn't sound like it was okay.

"To this extent. Uncle Ben only needs to grit his teeth, it's very easy." Speaking of this, Arataki Ichito gritted his teeth with a hideous face, as if he was suppressing something.

Under Ying and Paimon's curious gazes, the expressions on each other's faces suddenly relaxed, and then fell towards the ground as he spoke, "Forget it, I can't pretend anymore!" I'm suffocating! I'll talk about it later, let Uncle Ben rest for a while! ”

Ying: "."

Paimon: "."

Looking at Arataki Itto, who was lying on the ground as if he had died, Paimon said to Ying with some concern, "Is he okay?" ”

"Yes, it should be fine, right?" Ying said uncertainly, she didn't expect the power of beans to be so great.

"It's fine, it's just that I've been stimulated too much, I just need to take a break." The mysterious man walked over and said.

"Whew, that's fine." Paimon listened to the mysterious man's words, breathed a sigh of relief, and proposed, "Then let's wait for him to get up now." ”

After waiting for a long time, the Arataki Ichito who was lying on the ground slowly got up, he rubbed his head painfully and said, "Haah-finally relieved, but my body still doesn't need strength."

Speaking of this, Arataki Ichito looked at Ying and Paimon with an indignant face and complained loudly, "You guys are so despicable that you actually attacked Uncle Ben!" ”

"If you're not convinced, we'll fight again." Ying glanced at Arataki and said.

After speaking, he also took out the rock green that he had changed, and stuck it on the stone under his feet, only to hear a bang, and the flat stone became torn apart because of Ying's huge force.

Seeing this, Arataki Ichito's eyes straightened, and he hurriedly said, "Well, you're here to arrest me, right?" I've run so far, and you've found me. ”

"Forget it, I won't go back with you anyway, if you know each other, let's leave quickly."

Speaking of this, Arataki Itto glanced at Ying's weapon, and said with some confidence: "Uncle Ben is quite powerful, I don't want to do it to ordinary people like you." ”

Ying took the sword and played a sword flower and said to Arataki Itto, "Are you sure? I'll give you a chance to think again. ”

"Ahem, cough, Uncle Ben still doesn't believe it, you are an ordinary person without the Vision of God, but you have a little more strength, although my body can't use the strength now, but it's not something you can defeat."

Then, Arataki Ichito hugged the head that was smashed by Ying with a rock knot green, squatted on the ground with a painful face, and after a while, he complained to Ying: "You, you are too despicable, you have the ability to duel with Uncle Ben in a dignified manner!" Suddenly appeared behind Uncle Ben and attacked Uncle Ben, what kind of ability. ”

"Come on, you get up, let's do it again, I like your unruly appearance." Ying said to Arataki Itto.

Ying didn't expect that Arataki Itto would add a lot of combat experience to her, especially when the other party was still unconvinced, which made her even happier.

"Bah, Uncle Ben is not stupid, so he won't fight you." Arataki Ichito listened to Ying's words, his face stiffened, and he hurriedly said.

This person who looks like an ordinary little girl in front of him, his strength is really big, and the speed is also very fast, just now he smashed his eyes with gold stars, and it took a long time to recover, if he did it again, Arataki Ichito didn't dare to imagine his result, he still had something to do.

Ying was a little disappointed when she heard that Arataki Ichito didn't fight with her, but she thought for a moment and said, "You did the robbery and the kidnapping." ”

Arataki Ichito stood up, clasped his arms and nodded at Ying, "Yes, that's right, Uncle Ben did it alone." ”

"Our Arataki faction didn't eat or drink, Uncle Ben is the boss, isn't it normal to grab some food and wine?"

"That's not going to arrest anyone." Paimon listened to Arataki Itto's words and said with a serious face.

Arataki replied as a matter of course: "That... Isn't it faster to catch people and get money! Mora, naturally, the more stuff the better! ”

"The extra money" Speaking of this, Arataki Itto thought for a moment and continued: "Hmm... Give it to the brethren and spend it! ”

After listening to Arataki Itto's words, Ying looked at him suspiciously and said, "The reason is very suspicious. ”

"What's wrong? What are you doing asking around? I said I wouldn't go with you, and there was no point in asking. ”

"That's not going to work, we took the commission to get you back." Paimon spoke.

Hearing Paimon's words, Arataki Itto gritted his teeth with a fierce expression at Paimon and said, "Huh? You look into Uncle Ben's eyes and say it again? ”

"I took the commission! I'm going to get you back! Paimon hurriedly pointed to Ying next to him.

Ying: "."

"Forget it, I don't want to hear too much from you, I'd better do it directly." Ying finished speaking, picked up the sword, and walked towards Arataki Ichito step by step.

Arataki Ichito watched Ying walk towards him step by step, his body couldn't help but retreat back, and said with a frightened face: "Hey, hey, hey, what do you want to do, tell you, Uncle Ben is not afraid of you." ”

Ying explained lightly: "Of course it's to arrest you back?" As long as I knock you out, don't ask for your consent, just drag it away. ”

"You, you're breaking the law by doing this, you know?" Arataki Ichito listened to Ying's words and said with a shocked expression.

Ying replied: "This is called treating others in the way of others, you arrest people, I arrest you, this is very reasonable, right?" ”

"Hey, wait, wait, I've got something to say!" Arataki Ichito hurriedly said to Ying.

"I don't want to hear it, bring me down." After Ying finished speaking, she raised the rock and prepared to smash it towards Arataki Itto's head.

Seeing Ying's movements, Arataki Itto hurriedly raised his weapon to resist Ying's attack, when a child's voice suddenly came from the side.

"Brother Ichito!"

Seeing this, Ying put away his weapon casually, and when Arataki Itto saw Ying's action of putting away his weapon, he cast a grateful look at her, and then put away his weapon as well, and then put his head up with his arms folded and waited for the owner of the voice to arrive.

After that, an old voice came: "Don't be in such a hurry, be careful of wrestling." ”

Ying turned her head to see a little boy followed by a gray-haired old woman walking towards her.

The little boy walked up to Ichito and greeted him, "Brother Ichito, why haven't you come back for so long?" Didn't you say that you want to fight insects together? ”

Listening to the little boy's words, Yito scratched his head a little embarrassed and said, "Yes, yes, oops, look at me, I haven't found a satisfactory one after looking for a long time, you can give me some more time." ”

"It seems that something unexpected has happened." Paimon looked at Arataki Itto, who was talking to the little boy, and whispered to Ying.

Ying replied, "I don't know, let's observe first." ”

Paimon thought for a moment and asked, "What if Arataki Itto is really not a bad person as Mio Ogura said?" If that's the case, wouldn't it be a little bad if we just beat him up? ”

Ying said with a serious face: "Hit it, fight it, and you heard it just now, and he admitted those things himself." ”

Paimon: "."

Mystery Man: "."
