[Ghost Lamp] The dark humor of hell

Monsters can be roughly classified into two types based on the form in which they appear.

One is the monsters that appear out of thin air because of people's word of mouth, or fear or respect, such as human-faced dogs, squirrels, or zashiki warji.There are generally many types of monsters of this kind, each with their own characteristics, and the length of time they live is also different.

The other is to impose fantasies on human beings, so that they cannot enter hell after death, and are locked in the existence of monsters by deep-seated resentment or longing.This type is basically like cursed monsters such as Aju, Erkounu, and Bone Girl.

As for Shizanhime and Mizuno, who are obviously gods but pretend to be urban monsters, Chupacabra who is a UMA, and ghouls who are not Japanese monsters are special cases.

It can be seen from this that there must be some reason for the bone girl to accumulate deep resentment towards men, thus becoming a monster like the bone girl.

"Isn't it because the bone girl was cuckolded by a man..."

"I feel like your head is all green. About this... It just happens that there are men among the people I resent. In fact, the judgment point about rebirth is not clear. At first, I thought I would become a tengu Well, Tengu is amazing."

Faced with the gossip of her colleague Qiao Ji, who is also a monster, the bone girl also expressed her true wish.

Monsters are really strange creatures. They can exist beyond common sense, but they don't belong to any place in hell, heaven or this world.Therefore, the bone girl is still very grateful that Master Guishen Zhixi is willing to take her in.

"Master Ghost Lantern, are you done talking?"

In a happy mood, she specially allowed Bai Ze to wander around her home, humming a little song, and returned to the Youkai Special Zone guarded by Tamamomae's eyes.I don't know what Lord Ghost Lantern said to the monsters, but such a picture of laboring and mobilizing people must have either given great benefits or exerted tremendous pressure.

Considering the character of the person in front of him, it is more likely that the two will be used together to poach a few corners by the way.

"Well, I just need to hand it over to the monsters... But there still seems to be no whereabouts of the girl Shui Wang on the side of Ji Shanji."

Ghost Lantern frowned and looked at Ji Shanji who was drooping his head in the distance. He had been blocking people on the street just now. From this state, it seems that he probably didn't get any news.

"...It's the monster with big eyes... I feel like I can't think of anyone else except Bai Ze in this world."

"That guy has no interest in small breasts."

The ghost light stated the facts lightly, and denied the bone girl's point of view from a different angle.

She patted her head, and threw out the appearance of the Bai Ze beast that popped out inexplicably, "The big-eyed monster has too wide a target. Maybe it's more convenient to ask the residents here."

"But the monsters here are not very friendly to gods, so I don't feel at ease staying here alone."

Master Ghost Lantern, are you a grandfather who is always worried about his children? !

You still look like an industry elite in a suit and leather shoes!Don't give people a feeling of "I'm a daughter fan", which sounds great but is actually shameful!

"Does Bone Girl-sang know anything about it? About why the gods are so repelled here... It feels like you don't like them too much."

The bone girl who was complaining in her heart was suddenly asked such a profound question by Lord Ghost Lantern, and she couldn't help being dazed for a while, and she hesitated for a while before organizing her words.

"Because... because the Aokigahara Sea of ​​Trees is now so lifeless, most of the reason is that there is no god willing to manage this place, and the living conditions are deteriorating. It is an exaggeration to say that... the desolation here is also a direct result of the gods."

In other words, the fact that Shui Wangnv was taken away by the big-eyed monster might not be to strengthen her own Hyakki Yako, but to take revenge on Shui Wangnv, who has a godlike smell?

What a mess.

"...Forget it, the Yulan Festival will be here soon, just wait until I go back to hell and send Ibaraki-douji to this world. After all, I have been the master of the ghosts for so long,...what's the matter, Bone Girl-san?"

"..."

"Ah, it's okay, I'm thinking about something, Lord Ghost Lantern, is Tujini Tian also in hell?"

Hell, Yan Modian——

What is a wave of ups and downs?

Probably the fingerbone girl's current mood.

Even if it is slightly different from the original meaning of this sentence, but the bone girl's emotions did rise when she heard the news of Daji, and then fell helplessly.The root cause is that Qiao Ji, whom he led into hell and brought up with one hand...something went wrong again.

It is clear that Daoshan Hell is on the right track, and she only needs to wait for the former manager to retire to hold the power to call out hell. She could have lived a good life of abusing jailers from then on,...

"You told me you were entangled with the dead?"

Back in Hell, she was about to pack up her things and go to Flower Street to look for Daji, but the bone girl saw Qiao Ji wandering around Yan Mo Temple in a sneaky manner, and she was a little curious about what happened.

After all, Qiao Ji's mood recently is not very good.

"Are you an unpopular crowd star? Do you think you're going to hell like Maki Miki? I won't let you go home and look in the mirror. Maybe you're still pretty, but don't you dare to stop messing around at this time These things come out?!"

However, after listening to Qiao Ji's narration and taking a "family letter" in her hand and reading it, the bone girl's mood suddenly dropped, and she was slightly sullen.

The bone girl was angry, it was obvious.Even if those things happened in Daoshan Hell back then, she still threatened a few words in a calm manner,... After carefully chewing on what happened just now, Qiao Ji felt that she hadn't done anything, right?

It's just that when he wanted to sneak into the present world, he was caught by a bull's head and a horse's head.

"Which of your focus is on the rice worm who lives leisurely in the rice jar in the isolated old man's home? The problem is in this affectionate family letter! You can tell at a glance that it cannot adapt to the development of the times and is stubborn. Written by the old man, Qiao Ji, how are you doing?"

The bone girl felt that she had suddenly discovered an ulterior hobby of the other party.

"How is that possible!! This is... written by my husband..."

"Don't bring up such an early setting. Anyway, few people still remember it. Tell me honestly what happened between you and that dead man?"

The bone girl slammed the tabletop, and with a bang, Qiao Ji straightened her back, and when she was about to answer loudly like a well-trained soldier,...unknowingly, her momentum collapsed again.

"Isn't it my husband..."

"It's fine if you are a hundred-year-old monster married to a human being who looks like a few hundred years ago. Do you really think I don't know how bad human memory is?"

Shaking the thick family letter fluttering in her hand, the bone girl was very angry.

Hurry up to solve this matter and go to Hell. ——This is the first time she has said this question silently in her heart.

Niutou Matou only poked his head out not far away, winking and gossiping about something.I am very grateful for lending her the interrogation room of the gate of hell to her, but I didn't expect you to have a hobby of spying on the interrogation process?

I seem to have discovered a lot of things I shouldn't have known today.

"He...he is not human, he is obviously a monster..."

Qiao Ji pulled the bright kimono on her body uneasily, and narrated intermittently with grievances in her voice.

"Because it's a youkai...he died to protect me...when I was attacked by a youkai..."

"I remember that monsters are not allowed to leave hell during the Yulan Festival."

"That's because...Master Ghost Lantern gave special permission,...that's why I will..."

Master Ghost Lantern gave special permission?What monster would get that treatment now?Even the weakest Sadako monster could cause a great disturbance in this world.The bone girl was taken aback, and asked subconsciously.

"What's your husband's name?"

"Ibaraki Doji..."

"..."

She was wrong, she shouldn't have sent Qiao Ji to the Great Sword Forest, if she didn't go to call hell, she wouldn't have met her husband, and what happened today wouldn't have happened.By the way, she is really fast, bull head horse head, can you put a...

From Ibaraki-douji's association with the unfinished incident that was just solved the night before, the bone girl can see the whole outline of the matter clearly, and she is going to ask the bull and horse to explain and ask for punishment by the way—

The two of them walked out of the stone pillar with snot and tears, hugged each other and cried loudly.

"Oh~ Matou, listen, what a touching love story this is!"

Did Qiaohime tell a story just now?Why doesn't the bone girl understand that this dialogue is bit by bit touching?

The strange tone of the bull's head rose into the ears of the bone girl, and she almost fell off the seat with a trembling hand.

"Oh~—good sister, when will we meet a good man who treats us like this!"

Although both cows and horses are four-legged herbivores... no, these two are just four-legged carnivores, but there is still a big difference. The distance between you will always be separated by four animals and cannot be shortened.

"That... about Qiao Ji..."

"Ah, Miss Bone Girl, thank you very much for telling us such a beautiful story during the Yulan Festival holiday, Matou Matou~ Let's go to socialize today—"

"You're welcome, I'm the one who interrupted... about Qiao Ji..."

"No, no, bull head, wait for me—I must catch a golden turtle today..."

The figure of the bull's head and the horse's head wandered along with the sound, and then disappeared in front of the gate of hell.

——Because she is too short, even if she lowers her head, she still has to look up... This is a very serious problem.

"..."

"The Gate of Hell cannot be passed without the approval of the high-level. Today is the Yulan Festival, and the staff members are on holiday. Qiao Ji, you should prepare your speech before reporting to Mr. Ghost Lantern. It happens that I am short of manpower, so come and help me. It’s a bit of a problem to go to Hell with height.”

The bone girl folded the "family letter" casually, walked down from the stool, approached Qiao Ji and handed it to the other party, and finally clapped her hands and looked into the distance without desire, and suggested to Qiao Ji.

"Eh? Is there something for the bone girl to go to Zhonghe Hell?"

Qiao Ji hurriedly put away the family letter.The bone girl said that if she can't go, she basically can't get to the present world. The gate of hell doesn't have the opening of a bull's head and a horse's head, so she can't pass through it alone. ...But why does the petite bone girl want to go to Hell?

Ah, it's definitely not that she discriminates against short people, absolutely, absolutely not.There are more dreadful dwarfs now than there are rice worms living leisurely in the rice vats of isolated old people's homes.

"What's the matter,... the fire is burning everyone."

The bone girl feels that it must be very pleasant to do this kind of thing on the Yulan Festival.
