[Ghost Lamp] The dark humor of hell

News of death always comes too suddenly, as if a student is still worried about tomorrow's Chinese exam when he comes home from school, and after helping his mother answer the phone, the father on the other side of the microphone calmly narrates the news of the old man's death—that's it Sudden.

Compared with the students who will take the exam tomorrow, Shi Lantern felt that he had at least made some mental preparations when he received the news of the bone girl's death from Ghost Lantern.

"..."

He propped his head on a stuffed fox display case.

A pile of bones was left in the bone girl's room, wrapped in a red and black kimono.It must have been cold, so I tried to keep warm.

Master Gui Deng didn't say anything, wrapped up the bones and took them away, closing the door before leaving.

The room was empty, and the stone lanterns felt like returning to the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara a long time ago.

Heaven, Taoyuan Township——

Bai Ze was in Huajie in Zhonghe Hell, because he fell from the height of the stairs and was bedridden for several days.

When Fenghuang came to Bai Ze to pick up the ordered glucosamine tablets last time, Momotaro told him so.After apologizing for the late order, Fenghuang pushed open the door of Baize clinic again on crutches.

Along with him is Qilin, an old colleague who came to see a doctor because of a headache.

"It's a shame he's still an auspicious beast. How could he lie down for several days after falling down the stairs?"

The two auspicious beasts walking together is like a grandfather taking his grandson out for a walk. If they hadn't introduced themselves, Momotaro would never have imagined that they had worked with Shirasawa-sama.This is no longer the level of a butcher's knife. The years are more indifferent to them than the rice worms that were accidentally ground to death when sharpening the butcher's knife.

"Master Shirasawa also suffered some accidental injuries...it looks quite serious." After welcoming two old men with the same status as his superiors into the clinic, Momotaro walked aside to make tea.

A few days ago, Bai Ze, who was going to play in Huajie, suddenly hunched over and pushed the door home half dead. Momotaro and a group of trainee rabbits frantically rescued him. I have no way of knowing what happened in Huajie. what happened.In fact, Bai Ze's spells were pretty good, no matter how much he was injured, he wouldn't be in that shape, otherwise he wouldn't be able to recover so quickly in the confrontation with the ghost lamp.

So Momotaro was quite curious about the reason, but every time Naihe faced Bai Ze's gloomy expression, he didn't dare to ask.

It is rare for Baize Clinic to have any girls gathered here today. Maybe it was because they didn't want to come because they saw two old men entering the clinic. It was also because Bai Ze was sick in bed and didn't go to hook up with girls, which led to the sparse number of people.

In short, in the small room, except for the rabbits going back and forth, there is only Momotaro making tea and one guest.

The guest is a bit shorter than Phoenix.

Another guy who is unwilling to pay for the use of public facilities. Qilin can tell at a glance that he is not as young as he looks. Although he was not born in the Cretaceous period, he has lived for at least a thousand years.

Why do people nowadays like to pretend to be tender so much.Qilin, who thinks old-fashionedly, has been dissatisfied with Fenghuang who pretends to be a grandson at the age of a grandfather for a long time, and so is Bai Ze. An old man should act like an old man!Look how dedicated he is!

A sense of self-satisfaction of unknown origin floated around the Qilin. Fenghuang leaned on his staff and sat down on the small bench. He raised his head and rolled his eyes and stroked the bearded Qilin: "Old man, don't scare the guests away."

"Old man, it should be you who don't scare the guests away."

"You two old men, just break your spine and send the corpse to me for medicine. Make sure you sell it for a good price.... Hmm."

"Shut up, old man who can't get up after falling down the stairs." Fenghuang took the tea from Momotaro's hand and took a sip.

Bai Ze seemed to have heard the commotion outside, and walked out of the room with his head covered. What he saw was not a cheerful girl, but two old men who could dispel the girls, holding their foreheads against the wall with a headache When he came out, the turban was not wrapped, and several white bandages were wrapped around his neck.

"Momotaro went to the room and took out the glucosamine and added some poison into it. I'll see how long you old men can live."

"Master Bai Ze, you should take a good rest."

Putting the boiled medicinal soup on the table, Momotaro refused his request without any surprise.Turning his head and clicking his tongue, Bai Ze reluctantly opened the stool and sat down.

"Old man Bai Ze, you are too narrow-minded. You will lose your mind when you meet a woman. Which woman did you get cheated by in Huajie?" Qilin sat on the sofa and glanced at the man beside him who was holding a lantern with his head down. Guest, don't care much.

"What woman... Well, it's really bad. I don't know what happened. I just remember falling down the stairs and being stabbed in the back by someone... Tsk."

Stirring the medicine soup with a spoon, Bai Ze rubbed his waist. The pain at that time still lingered on his back, and he still couldn't use his spells to recover,... In other words, why couldn't he exert his strength?

Momotaro put the chili pepper next to the medicinal soup with a deadpan face. Lord Bai Ze is considered a VIP customer in Huajie, and the only one who is so unfriendly to him is Lord Ghost Lantern who occasionally goes there.It's better to keep this matter in your heart, otherwise heaven and hell will probably start fighting again...

"You don't even know how to use spells, old man Bai Ze really is old man Bai Ze." Fenghuang put the bottomed teacup aside and commented.

"No, no, I felt like I couldn't use my strength at the time... It seemed like I was restricted..."

"Could it be that there are Taoist priests with high magic power in our country who heard that the old man Bai Ze was addicted to women, so they went to Huajie to arrest you?" Reminiscent of the group of crazy Taoist priests who chased Bai Ze in his own country and asked for a rubbing of Bai Ze's statue, Qilin asked himself the opinion of.

"How is it possible? Taoist priests who become immortals can go to the eight hells through the gates of hell, but there is no need for Taoist priests who become immortals to chase after Bai Ze. The group of humans who arrested me just wanted to eat meat and become immortals."

Spooning the chili into the medicinal soup one by one, Bai Ze stopped his actions when he saw that the red color was almost deep enough.He would definitely not take him to the police station after being taken to the police station by a girl in the name of robbing the prison. During the period when he was in a daze, he fell several times while walking and fell into the passing pool of blood, and was hit twice by the prisoner who fell from the sky... He felt that his whole life Bad luck is concentrated at this point in time.

……and many more.

He seemed to have met someone before falling down the stairs.

"..." A blurry figure flashed past, and the outline of the subsequent encounter gradually became clear, Bai Ze gritted his teeth and clicked bitterly, "I just said how could it be so unlucky, when I was upstairs I met the woman that the boy often brought with me recently."

"Woman?...Miss Bone Girl?" Momotaro, who is more familiar with Ghost Lamp, also thought of it. After meeting Bai Ze, Miss Bone Girl really has this power.

"Bone girl? Who is it?"

"..."

Having never heard of or seen this monster, Qilin asked, and suddenly felt that the person sitting beside him seemed a little moved, and looked at the latter with a movement of holding a teacup.

——Is it his illusion?

The latter didn't do anything, so Qilin didn't take this matter to heart.

"It's a bit like the Chinese painted skin ghost. The man she targets will be very miserable. Lord Ghost Lantern asked me to meet her before. Old man Bai Ze, you should be cast aside by others every day when you hang out with girls."

Fenghuang stood up from the small bench, and slowly walked to the table with an empty teacup, Momotaro hurried up to take the cup.

"...Why did Lord Ghost Lantern ask Lord Phoenix to meet her?"

Poured another cup of tea, Momotaro asked while passing it to the other party.

"I don't know either. Master Ghost Lantern originally wanted to go by himself. He met Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva halfway and discussed the matter of Saiheyuan. If he couldn't get away, he asked me to give the feather to that... what, bone girl, right? Give it to her, that's right."

The steaming hot tea leaves had a delicate fragrance, Fenghuang sniffed them with satisfaction, and sat back on the original small bench.

"So it's the real thing... I thought the one on her waist was a counterfeit on some street. Didn't the TV station copy a lot of your feathers and sell them for extra money?"

In the modern art exhibition, I did see the feathers hanging on the side of the bone girl. Bai Ze took a sip of the soup. The memory of meeting the bone girl in Huajie is not clear enough, so I can only start digging from the earlier memory: "In other words, Giving your feather to the bone girl... is that kid doing it on purpose or is he too ignorant?"

"I don't know, but Mr. Ghost Lantern seems to understand clearly. If it weren't for you, an old man, I would have to worry about the relationship between hell and heaven every day? It's not a joke between the two sides."

"Wait, wait, that, Master Bai Ze, do the feathers of the phoenix have any effect?"

"Huh? Momotaro," Bai Ze swallowed a mouthful of medicinal soup filled with chili peppers when Momotaro took away the chili pot in front of him, and explained, "The feathers of the phoenix have the function of cleaning up the dirt, and the horns of the unicorn are for strengthening the body." .That... bone girl, right? First of all, her existence is not a clean thing, holding this is simply courting death. Why does it feel a little salty? Did you put too much salt?"

Stirring the red medicinal soup, Bai Ze frowned.

"It's not good, Momotaro-san. Giving old people something too salty can easily cause high blood pressure."

"Shut up old man, I'm still very young."

In order to show his youth, Bai Ze picked up the medicinal soup that he called too salty and gurgled down.

"Anyway, this guy is a doctor himself, Fenghuang, don't worry about it so much, he can only blame himself for the accident."

Qilin shook his head and moved to his side, and the person who had been sitting next to him just now was no longer there.

"...Huh? Where was the other guest just now?"

"What guest?" Momotaro looked in the direction Qilin pointed, "Is there no one?"

Master Ghost Lantern's doing this will do him no good.

Shi Lantern hugged his younger brother tightly, and kept telling himself that the other party must have his own plans.

He must have a purpose.

"Brother, you are too dependent on others."

"Nonsense, all public facilities in my body are free."

Not only are public facilities free, but some private facilities will not be discovered if they are used carefully. This is the benefit of old people getting into children's bodies.But in any case, children still need the protection of an adult.

Stone Lantern walked on the way back, and then ran into the adults easily.

"...Little brother, are you okay?"

Shi Lantern raised his head, and a big sister stood in front of him, with a gentle smile on his face, reaching out to rub his hair.

The behavior is so familiar.

"fine."

"Then don't look like you're crying, just smile at everything you meet," the blue-haired elder sister knelt down and looked at the stone lantern. You feel better."

Every word and sentence, the meaning of persuasion cannot be explained.Shi Lantern pinched his own face, obviously not feeling astringent at all.

"... Excuse me, how does Master Ghost Lantern treat his subordinates?"

The woman in front of me will walk around here, which means she is an employee of hell.

Sure enough, she paused because of an unexpected question: "Master Ghost Lantern?"

Then think about it carefully.

"It's good for subordinates, especially obedient subordinates. The reward and punishment system is a major system in hell. After you come out, Master Ghost Lantern will be very popular."

——Is that so?

Shi Lantern thanked the blue-haired woman in front of him, and left the spot under the suspicious but gentle gaze of the other party, and ran to the distance.

"Brother, I think that no matter what he wants to do, it is definitely necessary to beat him up first."

"..."

The younger brother in your arms doesn't speak, the premise of beating up first is that the other party must be capable of beating you.
