Chapter 33: This Is Not Detective Fiction
In the evening, Baishan Castle, the Imperial Palace, the banquet hall.
"Thank you very much." The voice of the lady of the city lord was too soft, as if she was holding a feather in some indescribable place, and the heart of the person who was itching was itching.
The front of the silk clothes is wide open, and the exposed snow white is intoxicating, such as Maitreya next to him, his eyes are about to get in.
Link is really too lazy to be polite, he is basically immune to beauty, can playing some games that adults love to play make him stronger? If you can get 100 points, you can't get zero points, how can you compare to a strong and powerful big muscle bully!
You just take off some clothes and sell sarpa worms, how much effort, hard work, and sweat do people put in to become stronger, who is more beautiful?
Di Nian'er's mother didn't dare to say a word, Di Nian'er was even more immersed in binge eating, he was hungry and hungry on weekdays, since he could remember, he rarely ate enough, Maitreya's eyes and mind were snow-white, and he didn't listen to it at all, plus the witch was not there, and he was cold all of a sudden.
However, the city lord's wife didn't seem to mind, poured herself a drink, and said to herself: "If you were still alive, you wouldn't be so lonely, those sluts ......"
! The criminals are talking, hey!
Link felt that there were countless grooves in his heart that he wanted to vomit, and the city lord's wife not only looked like a criminal, but also confided in public.
But it really doesn't seem like anyone cares.
The courtiers were busy fighting for power and profit, and the subordinates did not care about the life or death of the above...... Also, this is not some kind of detective fiction.
Link wiped out the food on the small table like a cloud, and then got up and walked towards the garden with a wine glass and a wine jug on his own.
"It's no different from a drink." He tasted the sake of the Warring States Period, it was not good, but if he smacked it carefully, he could still drink some sweetness, which was the feeling of sparkling water that ran away from some gas.
Today, the moon is exceptionally bright, there are not many clouds, the houses seem to be covered with a layer of silver-gray coolness, and the sound of water in the garden is very quiet.
"Would you like a drink?" Link raised the flask to the shrine maiden in the pavilion.
The witch girl turned her head, blinked her eyes, and suddenly asked, "Is it possible for me to be as strong as you?" After she asked, she thought of a lot of the other party's answers, probably direct negative or curious inquiries.
"Do you want to be stronger?" Link asked.
"Yes."
"Why get stronger?"
“……”
The witch was silent for a long time, and a lot of images flashed in her head, and after she became stronger, she took revenge on the bellflower? But she had already laughed at Kikyo, a man who gave everything for the so-called righteousness and mission, and finally died at a young age, wandering around the world with a false body without being born or dying, and that kind of ending made her laugh out loud just thinking about it.
After becoming stronger, you will be happy to take revenge? It seems that she can do whatever she wants now, whether she is strong or not, it's just that.
Youth......
Link said indifferently, "Then you should want to get youth." ”
"It should be for youth." The witch told the truth, "I just covet youth, covet the beauty of my youth, and don't want to see myself age." ”
"No, I don't really want to be stronger, I just feel very insecure." She bit her lip, yes, she didn't have a strong mind, otherwise more than fifty years would have passed, and she still stayed where she was.
It takes too much to become stronger, and maybe she will ruin her beauty, she is greedy for enjoyment, and she doesn't have that perseverance.
"Then why are you obsessed with looks?" Link asked again.
"Because ......" the witch recalls the source of her pursuit of beauty, and suddenly realizes that it all seems to start with Kikyo.
She was jealous that Kikyo could be recognized, and she was disfigured by a rebound spell when she came to provoke, and then sold her soul to the monster for revenge, whether it was youth or something else, she didn't care, just to get revenge on Kikyo......
"I see." She realizes that she doesn't care about anything at all, and she doesn't chase anything, and that she has lost her purpose in life after Kikyo died fifty years ago.
Figured it out?
Link threw the flask over, he, who had read the manga, naturally understood the other party's mentality, the witch and Naraku were somewhat alike, or, according to the manga author, the bellflower was the person who connected the whole story, and the knot in the heart of the witch was the bellflower.
In the manga, the witch was first invited by Naraku to curse and kill Sunset Kagome, and then saw the immortal Kikyo, and after being taunted for a few words, she transferred her hatred to Sunset Kagome, and as a result, Sunset Kagome, like Kikyo fifty years ago, easily rebounded her spell, and suddenly became unbalanced, and would rather give up everything than kill Sunset Kagome......
However, the reality is that she saw Kikyo first, and her hatred was in vain, but she lost her life purpose.
Just like Naraku in the finale, he tried his best to collect the jade of the four souls, but he said something like 'do nothing', and killed the bellflower as he wished, but frantically released water and gave it away, and it wasn't until the last moment that he said that his true wish was to get the heart of the bellflower.
The same goes for the witch, her goal is revenge, that is, revenge on the bellflower, for such an obsession, she persists for decades, but after all, it is just a void.
Naraku herself knows that there is no way to get Kikyo's heart, so she thinks that she will never be able to be redeemed, so she gives up her life, and the witch realizes that she will never be able to get revenge, so she also begins to give up her life.
To be honest, the English version of this manga is not as good as translating it into "Kikyo and Her Bichi".
"They're all honest guys." Link drank the wine from the glass in one gulp and placed it on the rock, he could understand why these people were like this, but he couldn't understand it.
"If it weren't for the fact that you're pretty and licking me all the time, I'd just tell you to die."
He sat by the water, rinsing the soles of his feet, constantly combing his own strength in his body, there will be such a problem if his strength grows too fast, no matter how much experience he has in the inheritance, it is someone else's, and it is still not good if he has not actually applied it himself.
"Madam, please be careful......" Maitreya's voice came from afar.
In the light, Link vaguely saw Maitreya walking in the direction of the bedroom with the disheveled city lord's wife, "Is this guy so open in his comics?" ”
"But it seems that there is really a plot of him visiting the Qinglou."
"Huh?"
Link's gaze suddenly locked on the city lord's wife, this bewitching woman, just when Maitreya touched her just now, there was a very faint demonic aura coming out of her body, if it weren't for his ridiculously strong perception, he wouldn't have been able to capture such a faint demonic aura at all.
"Is the murderer the real murderer?"
"Maybe there's a story, but it doesn't matter to me."
