[Ghost Lamp] The dark humor of hell

"In this world?"

Ghost Lamp's desk is located in the hall of Yan Modian. Hearing the unexpected news at this time, he had to raise his head and look directly at the bone girl in front of him.

To be precise, it is a bone girl whose neck is no longer visible.

"Some of the issues raised by the Hell Assembly are being rectified, and now the management's request for leave is not allowed."

"This matter is related to the scale of hell. I feel as uncomfortable without wearing human skin as if I have no clothes on. Lord Ghost Lantern, you don't want to be photographed by the paparazzi as the 'Scale Girl Surprised by Yan Modian' needs to be marked. A mosaic of news headlines."

"No, no one except you will think how big a skeleton is. But moving skeletons are quite conspicuous in hell, and if they are seen by jailers who don't like it, they may pounce on them... well, here you are It will take three days, during which time the work will be hoarded and we will solve them one by one.”

Xiaobai, who gnawed at the bone when he saw it, came to Ghost Lamp's mind. After thinking about it, he passed the bone girl's leave. When he picked up another document from the side and bowed his head to review it, he saw a sparrow on it.

The sparrow has not yet opened its eyes, and its yellow-gray feathers have not yet fully grown. It can be seen that it should be a newly born little guy. Fortunately, hell is not cold enough to freeze it to death.Ghost Lantern stared at it blankly for a few seconds, then raised his head and asked, "This is?"

"The squirrel, it should be the egg laid in my body by the mother there when I went to the Unhappy Place with Lord Ghost Lantern last time. I don't have any internal organs for it to eat, so it can only rely on eating my human skin for food. born, and then...poisoned."

The bone girl nodded in confirmation, making sure that what she said was correct.

"Poisoned?"

"Yes, human skin generally cannot be preserved for hundreds of years. Bone girls will undergo special processing for the appearance they like so that it can be preserved for a long time."

The bone girl touched her already vacant neck, and sighed.

"I've heard of it, is this the power of a monster?"

"...No, it's just a very common chemical reaction, and there are many harmful substances in it. The mother who doesn't like it should be moved to hell because of the poison in the human body. little hell."

"By the way, how long is it mature?"

Ghost Lantern put the small sparrow on the file on the table, took out a few pieces of cloth from the drawer and placed them neatly in front of him, then put the sparrow on it.

"It's similar to ordinary sparrows, usually within a few months."

"It's too inefficient."

"..."

For Mr. Ghost Lamp, who has obvious symptoms of torture poisoning, the bone girl no longer wants to discuss the "characteristics of monsters" with him.

In this world, Mount Fuji—

There has been a legend of the entrance to the other world in Mt. Fuji since ancient times. After submitting a slip of approval from the ghost to the bull head horse face, the bone girl who stepped out of the gate of hell came to the present world after a long absence.

The air is still turbid than hell, and the scenery is not as passionate as hell.In short, for a bone girl who is very satisfied with the hell environment, the current mood is like "angrily tearing up the betting ticket that I didn't win, and finally being told that I guessed it right".The gates of hell are just behind us, do you want to end your vacation early?

Faced with the cold summer wind, the bone girl shrank her neck.

"Excuse me... Miss Bone Girl?"

Hearing this, the bone girl withdrew her feet as she was about to turn around and cross the gate of hell again, and turned to a child standing in front of her behind her.

Little eyebrows, short beige hair wrapped in a brown turban, short stature, almost completely covered by a brown suit, with cherry blossom patterns printed on the sleeves.There is also a loincloth tied around the waist that looks like a housewife. If you talk about the first impression, it is probably a child bride.

No matter how she sees everyone recently, she looks like a housewife.

"Yes you are?"

"Ah, um, I'm the wood spirit. Master Ghost Lantern said he still has something to do in hell, so he asked me to take care of you. It seems that you are inconvenient to move?..., what's wrong?"

Mu Ling patted his chest and introduced himself. Seeing the bone girl pulling her clothes and taking a few steps back, she blinked and didn't quite understand the other party's actions.

"Sorry, Mu Lingsang, do you have any clothes, I'm a little cold..."

"...Isn't it summer now? Summer cold?"

Mu Ling was speechless, Master Ghost Lantern seemed to give her a complete problem child, "Then I'll help you find some clothes, you wait here for me."

"Can I go back to hell?"

"Master Ghost Lantern has explained, it is not allowed."

"..."

The bone girl weighed the pros and cons of disobeying Lord Ghost Lantern and obeying her own thoughts, and the balance in her heart was obviously in favor of the former. With a sigh, the bone girl touched her mourning clothes and sat on the lawn enjoying the sunshine.

Hell is much warmer than this world. Although the possibility of staying in hell for too long and getting used to the temperature there is not ruled out, after taking off the human skin, this is the degree of coolness in hell. Once in this world, it becomes cold.

The last time she stayed in the present world was before she was discovered by Master Guishen Zhizhi. She had stayed in a cemetery for hundreds of years and dared not wander around, for fear that a weak monster like herself who was a big monster in name would be targeted by someone. It is the gods of the heavens.

Thinking about it this way, this mountain must also be inhabited by gods, otherwise why would there be such a nasty smell.

"Miss Bone Girl, I borrowed some warm clothes from Master Shi Ji, put them on first, and I will take you to the cemetery when you are warmer."

"..."

The bone girl frowned and took the grayish kimono brought back by the wood spirit, muttering softly, "It stinks..."

"Huh? What?"

"...Nothing, thank you."

Defeated by the wood spirit's probing but kind eyes, the bone girl pinched the clothes in her hand, although it smelled like a god, she should change into it.Anyway, she was just resisting psychologically, not physically resisting together.

"Actually, you were brought to the gate of hell by Master Xi for the first time. I have seen you from afar."

The wood spirit excitedly sat down in front of the bone girl, as if about to start chatting about homework.

"far away?"

"Yes, I can magnify the image thousands of times,...so I saw the restricted-level images of the pollen, and thus suffered from hay fever,...It doesn't matter, in fact, there are very few monsters now, everyone Some of them were wiped out by onmyojis, and a small part were moved to hell, the real remaining monsters in this world are really extremely rare, miss Bone Girl, you must be careful when you walk outside, don’t run into onmyojis.”

"I think it's easier to recruit with my attire, ... so what, the police?"

The bone girl simply put on the clothes that are said to be the mountain god Shi Ji. The baggy clothes did not match her current thin body, and some of the hem even touched the ground. Considering that she was not trying on the bride's wedding dress, the bone girl I had to wrap the clothes a few more times, at least to avoid dragging them on the ground.

The gray kimono was paired with a white mourning dress, and the neckline was quite normal, but from the neckline down, the bone girl looked like a child with no one to help her dress.

"...However, why are you still cold in the summer..."

After thinking about it, Mu Ling finally asked this question.

"Because clothes don't have human skin to keep warm, as long as I put on a layer of leather, I won't feel cold when I go to Mahapatmo Hell. In fact, I wouldn't be cold in the first place, but the warm environment in hell is too warm." long time,……"

"Hell isn't called warmth, it's hot."

"It's okay, I was originally a monster with relatively slow sensory organs, but now I just haven't adapted to the situation."

The bone girl resigned to her fate and wrapped a thick layer around her body with a belt, making herself look like two tops wrapped together.

"Then when will you be able to adapt?"

"...It will probably take a few years?"

The bone girl answered uncertainly.
