Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 144 The head that left the body

The night is cold as water.

Chen Beibei and the others had already walked all day, and everyone was exhausted.

"Take a break."

said the patriarch.

Everyone sat down on the ground, and some even lay down.

Chen Beibei looked at the stars in the sky, the night was already getting darker.

"My guest, I don't know your name yet."

The patriarch walked up to Chen Beibei, sat down and talked to him.

"My name is Chen Beibei."

"Oh, what a nice name."

After the patriarch finished speaking, his face became serious: "It's already night, our heads will leave our bodies later, I hope you don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."

Summer insects are chirping in the weeds, and these noisy sounds are everywhere.

But not a single worm could be seen.

Only then did Chen Beibei realize that it was already night...

"Well, don't worry, I've seen a lot of incredible things."

Chen Beibei said lightly.

Now that he knew that the Luotou clan was not in danger, Chen Beibei himself would not be afraid.

Instead, he wanted to witness the scene of Luo Toushi's head leaving his body.

"That's good...then..."

As the patriarch spoke, his neck gradually grew longer, and his head flew towards the night sky.

Under the pull of the head, the neck is getting longer and longer: "That's good..."

Although the neck is already very long, the patriarch is still talking.

"Snapped!"

Touching the neck, it broke suddenly, and left the body along with the head.

Chen Beibei looked at the patriarch of the Luotou clan. At this moment, his body fell to the ground, and his chest heaved steadily.

It seems to be sleeping.

The place where the neck was broken was very smooth, and the trachea was also slightly floating.

"Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa……"

When Chen Beibei was observing the body of the head of the Luotou clan, these crisp voices came from his ears.

Chen Beibei looked up and saw that the heads of the other Luotou clansmen had also left their bodies.

Under the sky full of stars, a bunch of heads were flying in the sky.

Behind each head is a long neck.

The neck is getting thinner and thinner, and the end is already like a filament.

Such a scene is really spectacular.

"Master, it turns out that such people really exist in the world."

Three-tailed fox said.

"Yeah, the world is so big, there are so many wonders!"

The heads circled a few times in the night sky, and then left.

The chirping of summer insects became less and less.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Chen Beibei could vaguely see those human heads looming among the weeds.

Quiet.

Quiet in the true sense.

The chirping of summer insects has completely disappeared. It seems that in the entire space, there are only the sounds of breathing, heartbeat, and blood flow of the headless bodies of Luo Toushi who fell on the ground.

……

In the early morning, those heads flew back and connected with their bodies.

Then the Luotou clan woke up.

Everyone looked at Chen Beibei with a trace of fear.

It's a feeling of wanting to escape.

Probably because Chen Beibei saw their weirdness, so he was worried that Chen Beibei would reject them.

"Let's continue on our way. We need to find a new place to live."

Chen Beibei looked at them and said calmly.

"You...do you still want to be with us?"

"Well, didn't I say that yesterday? We're all the same."

Chen Beibei said sincerely.

The fear and anxiety on the faces of the Luotou clan disappeared, replaced by joy.

Just like this, is it something to be happy about for them?
Everyone continued on their way, but the Luotou clan had already started talking.

There was also a lot of fun along the way.

They also have many stories, of course, passed down from generation to generation.

They are all stories about Luotoushi.

"By the way, that Mu Liu, why did he insist on leaving you?"

Chen Beibei looked at the woman and asked her.

Along the way, they have talked about many topics.

So Chen Beibei's question was not abrupt.

"Maybe it's because of Xiaoyu."

"Xiao Yu?"

"Well, it's the Luotou family who was discovered by humans. Mu Liu likes her."

"Oh, I see."

"Yes."

"But, isn't that Xiaoyu already dead?"

"maybe."

The woman looked at Chen Beibei and said slowly.

perhaps.

That is, it is possible to live, and it is possible to die.

After all, Xiao Yu's death was given by Mu Liu.

Whether it is true or not, no one has confirmed it.

There is a possibility that people from the outside world came to look for Luotoushi, which is true.

They will follow Kohane.

So Xiaoyu must not return to the Luotou clan, because that would bring disaster to the Luotou clan.

And Mu Liu likes her.

So I panicked that Xiao Yu was dead.

Then go to find Xiaoyu and spend the last days with her.

In this way, the clansmen will not be affected, and they can die together with the person they like.

This was Chen Beibei's guess, and that woman probably thought so too.

Otherwise, Mu Liu would have no reason to stay.

At least that seems to be the case for now.

……

The people of the Luotou clan still don't know where to settle down.

Of course, it must be a place away from human habitation.

The farther away from humans the better.

Gu Huo Niao came back on the tenth night of Chen Beibei's journey.

Mu Liu did not come.

"Master, that man is dead."

Gu Huo Niao said.

"died?"

"Well, when I found him, he was holding a woman's body, as if he was in pain."

"Probably someone he likes."

Chen Beibei noticed that Gu Huoniao said, "It looks very painful."

Since it is painful, it means that when Gu Huo Niao met him, he was not dead yet.

So Chen Beibei continued to ask: "When you met him, was he still alive?"

"Well, still alive, I want to bring him here. But he doesn't want to."

"why?"

"He said he killed the woman he loved the most, so he must die with her."

"He killed it?"

"Ah."

"Xiao Yu insists on looking for the tribe, so Mu Liu must not do it."

"Oh……"

Chen Beibei looked at the more than 100 headless bodies lying on the ground, and couldn't help asking: "Why do you have to come to find your own people?"

"Probably... because I'm afraid of being alone."

"Lonely?"

"Well, if a person who can't live with human beings leaves his own people, then he will probably be alone. For some people, it may be unbearable."

Human beings live in groups. It would be a terrible thing to live alone in the dark all the time.

After all, that means that no one talks to or plays with me every day, eats alone, sleeps alone, and chats alone.

Always... always alone!
