Onmyoji Shikigami Don't Cry

Chapter 250 The Mysterious Cargo

In the night, the lights are dim.

Guhutiao and Inugami walked side by side on the streets of the small town of Scarborough, and the slight cool breeze blew on their bodies, dispelling all the fatigue and heat of the day.

"When we left, the boy kept looking at us, never leaving his eyes, and seemed to be a little surprised."

Gu Huo Niao walked slowly, and when she spoke, her tone was very gentle.

On a summer night, one feels very comfortable, especially in such a lively town, with someone...accompanying her.

"Gu Huo Niao, you observe very carefully."

Inugami said.

"You too."

Gu Huo Niao said lightly, but there was a slightly sweet smile on his face, which was involuntary, from the heart, and natural, not an expression made by himself.

The moon is like jade, cold and clear, exuding a chill.

On the black sky, scattered stars are dotted in it, like a simple picture scroll.

Both Gusuo Niao and Inugami are not the kind of monsters who like to talk very much.

After finishing talking about Xia Mu, the two of them just walked in silence, keeping their eyes on the surrounding situation.

Soon, a stone sign appeared on the side of the road.

There are two words written on it.

— West Street.

This is a road sign, with words written on the stone, as a sign to enter a certain place. This is a method that many places like to use.

Except for a road sign, the scene in front of him didn't change much.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, only some old people who pick up waste, and drunks who walk crookedly and speak inaudible words.

West Street is a street mainly used for trading in the small town of Scarborough.

Hardly any entertainment.

At night, the merchants all went to have fun, so West Street became deserted, but as soon as the sun rose the next day, West Street would become a completely different scene.

"It's so deserted."

Gu Huo Niao glanced at the surrounding streets, and then said softly.

"Well, it's completely different from the daytime."

Inugami continued.

The two of them quickly finished walking West Street, and then went to another street, which was Chunyu Street.

……

Chunyu Street.

"What, that boy actually fell asleep inside..."

Jiaotu said with a look of disbelief.

The red ambiguous light shines on Jiaotu's face from the small hole that Jiaotu poked out, making Jiaotu's face look a little strange.

Earlier, through the paper window, I saw a woman with a graceful figure. Jiaotu's words made the clam spirit a little unbelievable. After all, the clam spirit knows what kind of creature a woman is.

Wonderful, tender.

"Jiaotu, let me see."

Clam Essence moved over. In the small room, there was only a bed and a shelf for clothes, which seemed very simple.

But the dim red light filled the whole room with a strange thing, as if there were many, many things in this simple room, and these things were exactly what the people who entered wanted.

A slender woman with light makeup was leaning against the wall, playing with her mobile phone boredly.On that bed, Xia Mu was lying upright, sleeping very comfortably, and... really fell asleep.

"What a strange human being."

The clam spirit muttered.

The clam essence can still clearly recall the touch of that young and immature girl's body before. Although it happened not long ago, it has a feeling of a long time ago.

"It seems that I am tired."

Jiaotu said.

These days, Xia Mu has been doing the work of registering goods for the merchants in Fusang. Sometimes, even at night, some ships will arrive in the small town of Scarborough, and those ships, put down The goods are also very secretive.

Those goods were carried down by the burly Fusang businessman himself.

Xia Mu, on the other hand, would be called up in the middle of the night to record the weight and size of the boxes containing the goods.

As for what those goods are, although Xia Mu is sometimes curious.

However, Xia Mu never asked them, nor did he try to peek at the goods, so those merchants were more at ease with Xia Mu.

He didn't sleep well at night, and he had to get up very early every day, which was why Xia Mu slept in such a place.

"Actually, I think this human being is quite reliable."

Clam Jing looked at Xia Mu, who was sleeping peacefully in the room, and said slowly.

"Clam, don't you always say that humans and monsters can't be friends? And onmyojis will kill monsters. Why...you say that now?"

Jiaotu looked at the clam essence and asked suspiciously.

Jiaotu actually doesn't know much about humans. In the past, Jiaotu was just a weird little fish that was not accepted by other fish.

Opportunities to come into contact with humans are very, very few.

Later, because he had been living in the shell of the clam spirit, Jiaotu slowly absorbed the aura of the clam spirit and became a monster.

But even so.

It is only the second time to come to the human world, so Jiaotu is really ignorant of what human beings are like.

"I don't know why I feel this way, maybe... it's because he saved me."

The clam spirit said.

Jiaotu didn't speak any more, the two just stood quietly by the window, looking at Xia Mu in the room.

"Time is up……"

The woman leaning against the wall and playing with her mobile phone shook Xia Mu and said to him.

Xia Mu woke up, although he was still a little drowsy, but he managed to wake up: "Thank you."

"You're welcome, after all... you paid for it. Also, is there really nothing to do?"

The woman looked at Xia Mu and asked him.

"no need."

After Xia Mu finished speaking, she left the room. There was only that graceful woman left in the room.

But Xia Mu went out not long ago.

A fat man walked in, and the shadows reflected on the window, one slender, one fat, gradually mixed together...

"Gu Huo Niao, look at that boy, is he the one you met during the day?"

Inugami pointed to the back of a person, and said to Gu Huo Niao.

Gu Huo Niao looked over, the figure from the back was indeed very familiar, and the clothes she was wearing were also very familiar: "Well, it's him."

A man is holding Xia Mu's shoulders at the moment, talking about his previous experience, feeling a little high.

But Xia Mu didn't seem to be listening at all.

"Hey, Xia Mu, are you listening?"

Seeing Xia Mu walking with his head down, the man said dissatisfiedly.

"Well, I'm listening."

Xia Mu replied.

Behind the two, a girl in blue kimono and a girl in shabby clothes followed, as if they were following Xia Mu.

"Those two...shouldn't be human?"

Gu Huo Bird looked at Inugami and asked him.

When monsters meet monsters, they will have a somewhat special feeling, but this is not the kind that can be directly confirmed.

"Well, there is a smell of sea water on them, a salty smell, maybe they are monsters cultivated by animals in the sea."

Inugami replied.

Dispersed in the air, there is no way to escape the subtle smell of the dog god's sensitive nose. There is a difference between the smell of monsters and humans.

As long as you don't deliberately use something like incense that covers the original smell, Inugami can smell it.

Encountering a monster made Guhuo Niao and Inugami uncontrollably serious.

"Let's follow."

Gu Huo Niao said softly.

"Ah."

Inugami just nodded, but no sound came out.

……

Xia Mu and the man went back to a warehouse together. This is where they slept. The bed was a dilapidated iron frame bed that they did not know where they got it.

It is the kind of bunk bunk, placed against the damp and peeling wall.

Xia Mu slept on the top of that bed, and the man slept on the lower bunk. Xia Mu pasted some animation pictures on the wall to prevent those walls from falling on the bed.

Fujiwara Chika, Hinata Hinata, and Ren, Gen, and Kaze from "Chaos Warrior".

"Xia Mu, today is the first time you go to that kind of place, right?"

the man asked.

"Go to sleep."

Xia Mu replied.

At this time, the two little monsters who followed Xia Mu had already arrived outside the window of the warehouse where Xia Mu and the others slept.

But Guhuo Niao and Inugami watched them from a distance.

Such observations continued for a long time.

Xia Mu is a person who pays attention to them, and now there are two monsters following Xia Mu, so it is worth spending some time on Xia Mu no matter what.

Maybe you will find something about monsters.

Chen Beibei was surrounded by Xuenv to protect him. There was almost no way for humans to threaten him. Only ghosts could threaten Chen Beibei.

Therefore, all Guhuo Niao and Inugami did was to find out the monsters nearby.

In this case, you can rest assured to stay in this place.

"That boy is probably not an ordinary human being."

Gu Huo Niao said.

"Well, however, the smell on his body is very ordinary, not stained with blood, nor stained with some other filthy smell. It seems to be just a very normal human being, but... this normality is already a bit too much. Therefore, people will always feel that he is not an ordinary human being."

Inugami replied.

There is a warm smell on Xia Mu's body, like a clean quilt after the sun. Just smelling this smell will make you feel very comfortable and pleasant.

night.

It's getting deeper.

The stars and the moon in the sky still silently illuminate the world. It seems that there will be a feeling of persistence, but it is also very beautiful.

"someone is coming……"

Inugami suddenly reminded with a small voice.

Guhuo Niao, who is in a state of vigilance, can detect the range not as far as Inugami, after all, Inugami's sense of smell is more sensitive.

After the dog god reminded.

Gu Huo Niao barely heard the footsteps coming from a distance through his own hearing, a very subtle sound.

But because I stepped on a small dead branch.

Therefore, Guhuo Niao can judge the position of the person coming and the distance from itself from the sound.

The sound is getting closer.

There is a special fragrance on the body of the Fuso people, which is hard to describe, and it is a fragrance that is closer to woody materials.

It was this faint woody fragrance that Inugami knew that someone was coming.

Soon, those people appeared in the sight of Guhuo Niao and Inugami. There were two men and a woman. One of the men was tall and looked very powerful. If there was a battle, he was probably the only one Someone with a little combat power.

But even so, Guhuo Niao and Inugami didn't care about them at all.

After all, in any case, ordinary human beings are not a threat at all in front of monsters of the level of Guhuo Bird and Inugami.

The sound of turning over quickly came from the warehouse, followed by dressing and getting out of bed.

"squeak……"

The door opened, and Xia Mu came out of the warehouse. At this time, Xia Mu's roommate was still asleep, and had no intention of waking up.

"Are you working again?"

Xia Mu rubbed his eyes and asked.

In that woman's room before, Xia Mu had already slept for a while, and now he is still in a good state of mind, and Xia Mu did not show the slightest displeasure at being woken up.

"Ah."

The shorter man replied.

Xia Mu didn't continue to ask them, but quietly followed behind them. After all, it wasn't the first time he went out to work in the middle of the night.

These Fusang merchants still paid a lot of money.

Therefore, such a request is completely within Xia Mu's acceptable range.

A few people came to the beach together, and the two little monsters who were following Xia Mu followed behind them all the time. It seemed that they didn't plan to sleep this night.

"Let's follow along too."

Inugami said.

"Ah."

Gu Huo Niao replied.

Go out to do things in the middle of the night, no matter what you do, it is worth visiting.

The wind by the sea is very strong, with a fishy and salty smell.

At this moment, in the sea, a ship was slowly moving forward, and the lights on the ship appeared very faint in the dark night.

"It's coming soon, just wait a moment."

The merchant from Fusang said.

Xia Mu took out his mobile phone and checked the time. It is already two o'clock in the morning: "Yes."

Take the money, then do what should be done.

As for some things that shouldn't be asked, Xia Mu won't ask. He just needs to get things done and return to the old fisherman with the money. That's enough.

The boat was getting closer and closer, and finally docked.

The burly Fusang man boarded the boat first, and moved out the boxes one by one. All the boxes were covered with thick black cloth as before.

It seems to prevent people from seeing the contents inside. Of course, it is also possible that the goods inside cannot be directly exposed to the sun. The black cloth is only to isolate the sun's rays.

There are a lot of boxes on the boat. When moving a bigger box, the Fusang man accidentally tripped over the plywood, and the box fell to the ground: "Ah..."

There was a whisper from the box...

　There is no holiday this week, emmmmm... I just found out that today is Sunday...
