After the same name as the Abyss Lord

The Adam's apple rolled, and when fear surfaced, thinking of that poor little girl, Ye Zun took a deep breath, suppressed the spreading tension, and poked his head out cautiously.

In the dark living room, I couldn't see anything, only the door of the master bedroom was slowly and silently pushed open, as if something had walked in, and the door was silently closed.

——That thing went into the master bedroom, is it looking for someone from room to room?take this opportunity...

——Taking this opportunity, should I go into Nogawa Kaoru's room and find the key hidden diary?Or find the exit gate and take the little girl out of here first?

He glanced at Nogawa Kaoru's door which was very close, turned his gaze, tiptoed, and walked out quickly without making a sound.

——Is the gate, the location of the gate, hidden?

——But it should still be there, think about it carefully, and find the approximate location first.

Ye Zun pressed his fingers on the wall, groped inch by inch, and finally saw the exit door that was painted white almost like the wall.

found it!

He immediately tried to push, but there was no push.

It was as if the door was locked by layers of chains, that kind of sound that could be pushed but could not be completely pushed away.

Ye Zun was taken aback, and turned his head to carefully look at the living room, especially guarding against the movement of the master bedroom.

A picture quickly flashed in his mind, the house felt like a tomb, and the gate was a tombstone, and he just tried to get out from the tombstone in the tomb.

Suddenly, there was a terrible sound in the whole room, indescribable pain, as if a person's soul was being eaten away.

—Is that damn thing eating people?

Before he had time to think about it, Ye Zun ran to the storage room where the little girl was hiding.

"Come out and come to me."

The little girl ran out of the garbage she was hiding without hesitation, rushed into Ye Zun's arms, and hugged his neck tightly.

The feeling of being trusted by weak beings will give people the illusion that they are very powerful.

—I can protect her, I must protect her.

He picked up the little girl, but felt that she was too light and small, and it took almost no effort.

"Hold on to me, if you are afraid, close your eyes and cover your ears, don't look or listen."

He protected the child in his arms with one hand, and held the boning knife in the other. He turned and ran towards the gate, and then, regardless of the horrible sounds in the room, he began to chop the door with the knife in his hand one after another.

One, two, three...

There was a feeling of cracking. I don't know if the chain behind the door was broken or the wooden tomb door was cracked.

Under the tireless violent destruction, finally, the door exposed the obvious skylight.

The horrible sound in the room was deafening, and the footsteps of something began to sound, coming in his direction.

But when Ye Zun turned back to look urgently, he saw nothing, only the old dark room trembling constantly, as if the whole room had been chopped down.

Ye Zun couldn't wait, so he directly kicked the cracked door to make the exit more obvious.

Then, he put down the little girl with tightly closed eyes in his arms, and pushed her towards the direction of the broken door: "Hurry up, you go out first, and after you go out, run to a place with a lot of light and people, and look for women first." help."

The footsteps behind him were getting closer and faster, as if there were more than one.

The hairs on Ye Zun's back stood up, but he didn't have time to look back.

After the little girl was pushed out by him, the size of the exit was not enough for him to go out too. Seeing that it was too late, Ye Zun didn't hesitate, and ran quickly in the other direction, hiding in the door next to the utility room before. at the wall.

He cautiously stood against the wall, holding the boning knife in his hand, and once the thing chased him, he would immediately fight back.

But there was nothing chasing after him. There was nothing in the dark living room, but it was obvious that there was something terrible. The door of the hole was grabbed and shook violently, as if the invisible thing wanted to go out, from the tomb. Going out of the same room, even the whole room seemed to be shaking.

Ye Zun breathed a sigh of relief that the other party didn't find him, or that he didn't care if he found out.

——But, what should I do next?Are there other outlets?

He turned his head and looked unconsciously at the utility room.

Suddenly froze.

In the supposedly empty utility room, a man stood motionless with his back to him, facing the wall.

That person is very familiar, as familiar as looking in a mirror, another self.

It was as if Ye Zun's soul had escaped, but his body remained here.

The walls are covered with paper, densely packed, like a diary that has been disassembled page by page.

——Is it the diary that hides the key?

Ye Zun didn't care about this person who was exactly like him, and immediately leaned close to the wall, trying to read the handwriting on the paper under the faint light poured in from the tomb door that was split open in the darkness.

Behind him, the ground cast a shadow, and an invisible and terrifying thing approached the door, and a huge and dangerous black shadow enveloped Ye Zun.

The other "Ye Zun" who was wearing the opposite of him, white trousers and black shirt, was supposed to be motionless and unresponsive like a walking dead, but suddenly looked sideways at him.

……

"Didn't you sleep last night?"

During breakfast, Rin looked at the absent-minded Ye Zun and asked inquiringly.

Ye Zun came back to his senses with a smile on his face: "No, I slept well. By the way, there is something I'm curious about, and I've always wanted to ask you."

"what's up?"

Ye Zun looked at Rin on the opposite side: "I remember you said that you came here after receiving a job from the church. I want to know what kind of job it is. Can you tell me?"

Rin looked at him gently, and paused with a faint smile on his lips: "Of course. It's just that I may not be able to explain it in detail, mainly to record the process of changes in this dungeon world and the results after the event is over. .”

Ye Zun: "So, the priest doesn't need to investigate the reason behind the supernatural incident, nor does he need to solve it?"

Rin looked at him, showing some restraint: "The church can't interfere with the Demon God's Amusement Park, it's more about observation and recording. So, yes. But, if you need it, I can help you."

Ye Zun blinked, and smiled very lightly: "You don't need to violate the boundaries of the church, I just want to know, are there any techniques for fighting ghosts that ordinary people can use?"

Rin's eyes moved slightly, and the person in front of him seemed to have changed slightly. He looked into Ye Zun's eyes: "In a sense, the church is indeed studying the power system of ghosts, and what I want to say can indeed tell you some ways to fight Technique. But if I were you, I wouldn't listen."

Ye Zun looked at him, there was no surprise in his eyes, but a little curiosity: "Why?"

Rin looked at him and said calmly: "We talked about the power system of ghosts before, and we talked about fear."

"Well, you said that the ghost got the power to kill me from my fear."

Rin clasped her fingers together: "That's right. The source of fear is first of all your knowledge and awareness of ghosts. The more you know, the more you understand, the more you will fall into the power system of ghosts and strengthen them."

Ye Zun blinked: "You said that if you want to fight against ghosts, you must first get rid of this influence and not enter the opponent's energy system. But, is there no way?"

Rin's black and bright eyes looked straight at him for a moment: "Of course. Think about how you entered the Demon God's Amusement Park, how you successfully fought against it at that time, remember the intuition in every winning experience, and do it. What's right?"

Ye Zun was thoughtful. That time, he didn't listen to the voice on the phone. He chose to face his fear and went back to the rental house, which violated the progression route of fear designed by the ghost.

"Did something happen last night?" The priest's eyes were slightly inquiring and curious, "Well, it feels like you are a little different today."

Ye Zun smiled and looked at him: "It's because the breakfast made by the priest is delicious, and I feel relaxed unconsciously."

Also because, although I had a nightmare, the final result of the dream was very good.

In the nightmare last night, he not only rescued the little girl from that horrible house, but also found a new clue.

There is a diary on the wall with a sentence recorded on it.

[Wednesday, [-]:[-]...the flower bed in the lower right corner...the senior with a cherry blossom hairpin, have you seen the diary?Should be able to see it. 】

Does this mean that there is indeed a very important diary, and Kaoru Nogawa put it in the hands of a senior girl wearing a cherry blossom card, and made an appointment to pick it up at [-]:[-] on Wednesday morning?

Today is the fourth day of the dungeon, Ye Zun entered the dungeon on Sunday evening, and today happens to be Wednesday.

Because it was a clue obtained from a dream, Ye Zun didn't want to say it casually before he got it for sure, otherwise it would be fine if he got it, but it would be a bit ridiculous if it was just a dream that didn't exist at all.

"That's it, then eat more." Rin accepted the reason.

On the way to school, Ye Zun was also thinking about the little girl in his dream. After waking up from the dream, the people inside would be a little blurry, vaguely like a child he didn't know or have seen before, and his age was similar to the younger sister in Kaoru Nogawa's family.

That child, Ye Zun, was only seen on Monday morning, when the middle-aged man scolded her with a gloomy face, letting her cook breakfast for himself in the kitchen as a child, and picking on her dissatisfaction here and there.

Speaking of which, the middle-aged man only appeared in the morning during the day, while the middle-aged woman only appeared at night. One said that the other party was dead, and the other said that the other party was missing.

——Is it true that we should find Nogawa Kaoru's younger sister, that little girl, and ask her about the situation at home?

——It should be much more reliable than Shen Yuan. At the very least, Nogawa Kaoru and the little girl are brothers and sisters born to the same mother, so they will know a little more.

They also came to school in Rin's car in the morning.

Lin first parked the car at the gate of the school, and said to Ye Zun: "You go in first, I will come when I park the car."

The parking lot is opposite the school. It will take some time to walk over after parking the car. The other party has even considered this.

Ye Zun felt warm in his heart, and his eyes were soft: "Then, see you at noon."

Rin in the car nodded slightly, with a reserved smile: "See you at noon."

Rin came out of the parking lot and crossed the road, with a seemingly warm smile on his lips all the way.

There is a row of cherry blossom trees in front of the school, and the elderly who get up early will take their pets for a walk on a rope.

"Young man, can you help me?"

Rin stopped and looked at the old lady who was speaking modestly and politely: "Hi, what's the matter?"

The old lady is very old, with a stooped and thin body, her eyes are cloudy and kind: "My good boy can't get down, can you help me?"

Rin smiled and looked at the little milk cat who couldn't get down from the height of the flower tree next to him: "Is it this one?"

He is tall, and he can easily enclose the curled up little milk cat in his palm.

The kitten stared at its round eyes, and the whole group remained motionless, as if it had been frightened by something, it was very obedient.

Rin smiled, wrapped her slender fingers around its neck, and scratched it gently with her thumb. The cat's eyes were extremely round and unblinking, just like the man in front of him with a gentle, kind and beautiful smile, not caressing It is like strangling it to death.

"So cute."

Rin handed the kitten to the old grandma, who smiled contentedly, hugged the little kitten and kept calling "Guaiguai": "The tree is too tall, the little pity is scared, grandma touches it, don't be afraid. Young man, Thank you so much."

"You're welcome, don't run around next time, it's really dangerous to be so small." Rin smiled lightly, looking away from the cat.

After the priest walked away, the stunned cat meowed like a fried hair, and buried its head in the grandmother's arms, leaving only a shivering and round cat's buttocks.

It's morning reading time, students in twos and threes are all over the campus, and some who know Rin occasionally say hello to him.

"Teacher is in a good mood today."

"Well, probably the weather is good." Rin also responded gently with a smile.

The student looked strangely at the gloomy weather like yesterday, and tried to make up for it: "It's windy today, so it's a little cooler than yesterday."

Rin kept a slightly raised smile on his lips all the way, when he walked to the edge of the flower bed, he suddenly stopped.

The smile that lasted all morning disappeared after a slight pause.

When you enter the school gate and turn right, there is a flower bed. Because it is far away from the teaching building, there are very few people in this area during morning reading.

There are two people standing on the edge of the flower bed at the moment, a boy in a black school uniform, and a girl in a uniform skirt of the same series.

The girl dyed her fashionable chestnut yellow hair, wore a cherry blossom hairpin, painted exquisite makeup, and smiled brightly and generously. She was tilting her head and smiling at the boy in front of her.

Even on a cloudy day without sunshine, the light in the morning is a bit fresh and bright.

The boy under the sky is thin and tall, and the black suit and uniform on him is indescribably natural, thin and ironed.

The lines of the side face are extremely smooth, and the bone structure of the brow bone, jaw, and nose bridge is particularly superior. It is not beautiful and soft without edges and corners, but has a sharp and jerky handsomeness that is between a teenager and a young man.

But that sharp handsome man had no edge, but was clear and fragile.

When not smiling and pursing his lips slightly, his eyebrows, eyes and chin will appear indifferent, as if he has been attacked not long ago, with a sense of insecurity branded in his bones, and he is vigilant and refuses to approach everything around him.

However, this fragile indifference does not make people look cold. The deliberately tough defense makes people more curious to explore the inside. They can't help but want to look at him a few more times, wondering what he is thinking and what troubles he has encountered.

People can't help but want to please him, let his defenses collapse on his own initiative, his brows and eyes are tense and soft, and he treats him with special trust.

But now, the expression of indifference and rejection has disappeared.

He is laughing.

There was a clear and clear smile on that face, without any shadow or weight, it was light and penetrating, it didn't need anyone else to do anything, and it automatically put away its defenses.

Standing there, he was taller and thinner than the girl in front of him, looking undoubtedly warm and reliable.

The pure and clear eyes with a smile seem to be looking at a lovely blooming flower that needs protection. If that flower needs it, he will definitely protect her.

But the girl in front of her was healthy and bright, real and fresh, but he was the only one who was neither pale nor weak, nor real.

The indifference of the young man's eyebrows and eyes turned into a clear soft light, his smile and eyes were flawless, but he still carried a sense of frivolity and fragility.

Like the early morning in late summer, the sky shines through the cool mountain spring, the short moment before the sun appears, beautiful and fragile, unstoppable, unrepeatable, uncapturable, unimaginable.

The girl opposite the boy obviously had the same feelings as Rin. She tilted her head and pretended to smile cutely. The smile was bright on her bright face, but her eyes kept a bit of careful observation and confirmation, which made her smile It seemed deliberate, in order to make the boy in front of him happy, let his indifference dissipate, and keep his smile longer.

But she didn't seem to need to do anything special, that person was already happy because of her.

However, the priest who saw this scene didn't feel happy, nor did he feel beautiful, but only felt it was extremely dazzling.

The smile on his face had long since disappeared, and there was no trace of the good mood he had in the morning. Not only that, he was handsome and noble, and his eyebrows were somewhat elegant and moist even when he never smiled.

Submerged in darkness, lost the only light source, the expensive black crystal immersed in the cool spring water lost its clarity, only the thick and dark dead air continuously rising from under the abyss, the black ink color, staring straight ahead An eyesore of beauty.

So far, no matter what kind of self he is facing, this person has never shown such an expression to him.

The rosy lips were tightly pursed, and the corners of the lips curled coldly, cutting off the manjusawa blooming in the flower bed, and discarding them casually.

……

"Don't be nervous, I understand, because, I am the same." The girl smiled brightly, her eyes comforting Ye Zun who was faintly nervous.

Ye Zun stared at the girl wearing a cherry blossom hairpin in front of him: "Thank you for the diary."

The girl tilted her head and looked at him with a smile: "If you find it, of course you have to return it to the original owner. Don't worry, I suppressed my curiosity and didn't read a single page."

Ye Zun smiled lightly. He wasn't worried that the girl would see the diary. According to the hint in the dream, Kaoru Nogawa seemed to leave the diary in the girl's hands on purpose for some reason. The reason for wanting to be seen by her.

"I don't know how to thank Senior Sister."

"Is it all right?"

"Huh?" Ye Zun was slightly taken aback, but kept smiling.

——Could it be that this girl knew Kaoru Nogawa in the first place?

The girl was not angry, but still smiled: "You are so polite, do you really not remember me? I met you yesterday in the art department of the school. I am the consultant for the dance project of this school celebration program."

Ye Zun remembered that he was forced to report for the school celebration program because he was selected by Class [-]. Yesterday, everyone went to the activity center for a short meeting to discuss their respective programs and whether they need to stay in school. Practice and rehearsal.

"Now we are friends, if you need help, you can always find me. On the show, or other things."

"Well, thank you."

Ye Zun was listening to the girl in front of him, when he suddenly felt an uneasy chill on his back, he immediately looked back.

However, there wasn't any abnormal person or thing, only the back figure leaving at the corner not far away.

——Looks like... Rin, did he just pass by?If it was him, why didn't he say hello to himself?

—Or, he actually said hello, but I didn't hear it?

The girl smiled brightly, waving her finger in front of Ye Zun's eyes, making him look away.

"What are you looking at? Is there any beautiful woman passing by?"

Ye Zun smiled: "He is a very important friend."

"I see." Noticing that Ye Zun didn't seem to want to talk about this topic, the girl blinked her eyes and smiled slightly, and nodded, "Oh, it's getting late, let's go back to the classroom too."

"it is good."

"Let's go together."

Ye Zun walked side by side with her along the roadside of the flower bed.

"Hey, what is this? Is the bush blooming?" The girl suddenly raised her voice.

Ye Zun walked over and saw a huge red flower blooming on the neatly built hedge at the edge of the flower bed.

Upon closer inspection, it was not the shrub that bloomed by itself, but a manjusawa flower that was broken off and discarded casually.

"Hey, who is so devoid of civic morality, just picking off the flowers that just bloomed casually." The girl said regretfully when she saw the flowers Ye Zun picked up.

Ye Zun looked down at the flower between his fingers, and also showed regret: "Yes, such a beautiful flower, it's fine to pick it off, but it's just thrown away."

"Probably because people will find out if you hold it all the time, so you are afraid of being scolded. You should also throw it away quickly, or others will think you picked it."

Ye Zun smiled and looked at the flower between his fingers, but he didn't throw it away.

The two were in different grades, and they were in different teaching buildings, so they separated soon.

Ye Zun walked into the classroom of Class [-], Grade [-], and when he looked up, he saw Shen Yuan standing lazily in the aisle.

The buttons on the collar of the white shirt were unexpectedly all buttoned up at the moment, but the black slender tie was messy, and the black uniform was not easy to wear. , a little more elegant than it should be.

The other party also saw Ye Zun, that face that could do whatever he wanted, no matter how bright his smile was, his eyes were dark and gloomy, but now he didn't even have a smile on his face.

Without the bad-looking villain's smile, that face looks even more handsome.

It's just that the shape and lines of the eyes are more obvious, the slightly sharp corners of the eyes, and the narrow and long tails of the eyes reveal the sickly laziness in the temperament, and the dull shadow in the eyes looks more neurotic.

There are hooks in the dark eyes, and when you tilt your head and stare at people without blinking, it's like casually thinking about how to kill you, making people uncertain and dangerous.

"very good mood?"

—Look.

Ye Zun looked directly at him, as if he was obviously finding fault with the other party, as if he was unhappy and didn't want him to be happy, he didn't back away, and the thin, clear and natural gentleness on his face didn't disappear because of this.

However, he was not as vigilant and alert as he was when he first faced Shen Yuan.

"Well. Because the weather is fine."

Shen Yuan was leaning against his table, and didn't intend to move away, playing with a book in his hand.

"What's so good about the cloudy and windy weather is because of someone."

He tilted his head slightly, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at Ye Zun intently. The corners of his lips curled up, but there was no smile, and his tone was low, but not aggressive. The school is talking about a girlfriend, how about it, are you not afraid now? Maybe the real identity of the other party is a ghost."

Ye Zun had already walked in front of him, slightly puzzled: "Girlfriend?"

Shen Yuan nodded, still tilted his head to look at him, his gloomy and cloudy expression didn't make sense, he blinked slowly, frowned slightly, and said with a sincere look: "Honestly, your gaze Not so good, that girl doesn't suit you, she looks average, her hair is dyed tacky, her powder is too fake, and she smiles with a fake face..."

——It’s really here to find fault.

Ye Zun lowered his head and smiled helplessly. He didn't listen to his nonsense, handed him the flower in his hand, and interrupted his impolite words: "This is for you."

Shen Yuan's voice stopped abruptly, his eyes fell on the red manjusawa flower, he paused for a moment, and looked up at him.

Ye Zun continued to hand the flowers, and the smile in his eyes was very light and thin: "Although I don't know who picked it up and threw it on the bushes, but it seems that it has only bloomed not long ago. It is a very beautiful flower. Originally If you plan to raise it or make a specimen, if you like it, I can give it to you."

Shen Yuan didn't answer, and didn't speak, those dark eyes looked at him intently, with an incomprehensible expression.

"Why, send me flowers?"

Ye Zun didn't care about his uneasy attitude, his face was clear and gentle, just like when he was talking to that girl by the flower bed before, like a popsicle with a slight milk flavor in summer.

If you bite into your mouth, it will be refreshing and cold, with a touch of sweetness.

Maintaining the posture of handing flowers, Ye Zun stared at him seriously: "Yesterday was my fault, so I shouldn't have said that to you. I should have apologized earlier, but yesterday I had something on my mind and I was absent-minded all the time. I'm sorry, maybe it's nothing Meaning, but I hope this flower can make you recover from my bad mood. I really feel sorry."

After finishing speaking, Ye Zun lowered his eyes to look at the flowers in his hand because the other party didn't pick them up for a long time, and lightly pursed his lips: "If you don't like flowers, forget it."

"I didn't say I didn't like it." Shen Yuan stretched out his hand to grab the manju sahua from his hand, sniffed it casually, and looked up at him, "There is no fragrance at all."

Ye Zunxin smiled slightly: "But, it's really pretty."

Although he was still lazy and lacked energy, and there was no smile on his face, the sick decadence in Shen Yuan's eyebrows and eyes dissipated a lot, and his eyes became clear, and he was as lazy as before.

"Well, it's beautiful."

Ye Zun walked past him, sat on the seat by the window, and took out the diary he took back from the girl from his bag.

Shen Yuan was right, he was indeed in a good mood, because Nogawa Kaoru's secret would be solved soon.

The author has something to say: The Journey of Manzhu Shahua——

In the morning when it was in full bloom, it was picked off by a priest in a bad mood and discarded, and then picked up by a good-looking little brother passing by. It was too late to be happy, and it was quickly sent to a familiar hand.

Manzhushahua: Blame me for being too beautiful┭┮﹏┭┮

I feel that Ye Zun has the talent of natural slag, and the devil is really easy to coax~

[As for why there are manjusawa in April, it's not a bug, I will know soon]
