[Ghost Lamp] The dark humor of hell

Hell, Qin Palace——

After crossing the Santu River, you can go to the Palace of Qin from the inside of Hell.After explaining Sai Heyuan's work procedures, Ghost Lantern came to the Santu Bridge and watched Xuanyi Weng from a distance for a long time, until he confirmed that the other party was not slack in his work, he nodded in satisfaction and passed the Santu Bridge to the front of the Qin Palace.

Ono Huang, with gray and yellow curly hair, was scratching his head and standing at the gate of the Qin Palace, holding a scroll in his hand, as if he was working.

It's just that it's rare to see an assistant officer working at the door of the workplace. Ghost Lantern stopped and looked at him suspiciously before continuing to walk in front of him.

"...Ah, Mr. Ghost Lantern, just right, about the timetable for serving the sentence of a group of dead people who yelled at Hell before, because I couldn't find the general manager there..."

Although Ono Huang is originally a human being, he is efficient in handling affairs, which is even comparable to the staff in the recording class.What's even more frightening is that no matter how many tasks he can complete seemingly casually, this has established his position in Qin Gongdian.

Ghost Lamp took out a stack of thick forms from behind him and handed them to the other party, and turned his gaze to the bento box on the small stone next to him: "Scream hell because I can't find a suitable management agent, and I will supervise it for the time being. Discussed with become king."

"Hmm..." Ono Huang took the stack of documents, bent down to pick up the bento box on the stone, and pointed to the interior of the Qin Palace to invite the other party to go with him, "Management agent? What happened to the original one? Called back to my hometown to force a blind date?"

"From the appearance of her age, she is only about 14 years old, and she is not yet married. Something happened, so she temporarily resigned." Gui Deng stepped forward and asked by the way, "Is that a wife's bento?"

The bento box in Ono Huang's hands looks simple, if you didn't think about it, you would never have guessed that it would be a handmade bento by his wife. Gui Deng had seen the scene of his wife giving a bento box, so he was deeply impressed by it.

"Well... they're all old couples, it's a bit embarrassing to talk about a wife's bento..."

Embarrassed, Xiaoye Huang put the lunch box on top of the document, and walked into the Qin Palace Hall together with the ghost lamp.

"No, Ono-san's wife is indeed a beauty, very enviable."

"Should Madam be happy when she is praised, or should I say no... Every time I talk to others, I will be a little tangled up here." As if he was really worried about his wife, Ono Huang drooped his shoulders in distress, and stood side by side with the ghost lamp. Okay, "However, Master Ghost Lantern should be able to find a more beautiful woman. It's just that I think Madam is the most beautiful."

"..." Gui Deng rubbed his chin and thought about it carefully, "I don't have any special requirements for looks, and of course I'm not a person who admires the beauty of the soul. For marriage, you can only find someone who can cater to your own interests, just like Ah Xiang There are uncompromising demands, at least those who oppose my snapdragon planting will definitely not do it."

"...That's right, maybe Lord Ghost Lantern will marry a very delicate person in the end..."

Catering to Shaking S's interest, Ono Huang felt that the other party might also be a very strange person.

Ghost Lantern thought for a while, and nodded seriously to the description "subtle".

"In other words, Lord Ghost Lantern bought a batch of canopic jars from Egypt last time. King Qin Guang asked me to buy a set. Lord Ghost Lantern also knows that King Qin Guang likes things like porcelain... that is in Where can I sell it?"

After entering the gate of the Palace of Qin, there is a corridor like a museum, with porcelains on both sides, which is in the same nature as the ghost lamp warehouse full of weird items, but King Qin has implemented the "dead house" even more. "Spirit", even if others don't like it, show it to others.

Although the ghost lamp looked at it for a long time, I didn't think it would be particularly annoying.

"Canopic jars were sent to Abi Hell for use. If you want, you can go to Hu Feng to get a set. The ex-factory price is much lower than the price on the Internet. In addition, the eight hells are wholesale...but that thing is not suitable for it. Ornaments."

"How to say?"

"The canopic jar was originally used to hold the internal organs of the mummy, and it kept the mummy's body resurrection accessories fresh, regardless of its own meaning. It is no problem for us to imitate a set, the key is that the one made in Egypt will cause damage to the jailer's body. Damage." Taking a disc from the wall, the ghost lamp, who is not very interested in archaeology, looked back and forth a few times, and answered Ono Huang's question in his mouth, "If the ghosts get too close, they will become ordinary dead. Then forcefully lock it into the jar and can’t get out. Dead people like Xiaoye Sang omit the previous step, so I don’t recommend placing one in the Qin Palace.”

"Eh—Is Egypt making something so dangerous?"

Ono Huang stared at the movement of the ghost lamp, hoping that the other party would break the porcelain in his hand, so that he could go to Qin Yuwang and admit that he broke the Muromachi porcelain that disappeared beside his bed yesterday.However, Ghost Lamp's movements were steady and unwavering, and it remained calm under Ono Huang's gaze. With a sigh, he began to seriously consider where to bury the broken porcelain fragments.

I feel that it is safe to bury it in Yan Modian, at least King Qin Xun will not go to the goldfish grass field in Yan Modian to dig soil.

"This is a tradition in their region. However, the suspension of mummy production in recent years has led to the stagnation of the tradition. That's why Anubis ordered a large number of canopic jars to continue the tradition."

"Um--"

Ono Huang looked at the ghost lantern and put the porcelain back in pity. He shook his head when he received the latter's questioning gaze, and started to walk forward again. film.

a small child.

"Ok?"

With doubts, he stopped turning around, Ono Huang uttered a question word, and Ghost Lantern looked back and saw the stone lantern at the door.

The inspection in the Palace of Qin is not as strict as that in the Palace of Yan Mo, and ordinary jailers are allowed to enter.Gui Deng put his arms around his chest and looked at the stone lantern coming in from the door. It stands to reason that Sai Heyuan is under the control of King Chu Jiang according to his position, so what can happen if he comes to the Qin Palace?

"...Wait, that, Lord Ghost Lantern, who is this kid?"

When Ghost Lantern was thinking, Ono Huang's trembling voice came from his ears, and he turned his head to answer, he found that Ono Huang was surrounded by a circle of blue will-o'-the-wisps.

According to his hair that was as dry as weeds, Ghost Lamp had no doubt that his hair would start to burn when it hit the fire. Ono Huang was covering his head and his beloved wife's bento as if seeing a ghost, and gave up the stack of documents.

It is true that ghost fire is a kind of ghost.The name of the ghost lamp also comes from this, because Yan Mo Dawang's irresponsible way of naming, adding a "wild fire" before his real name, it becomes a ghost lamp.

"He is Stone Lantern, an employee of Saiheyuan."

Ghost Lantern waved the mace and extinguished the two ghost fires that sprang out beside him. He was originally possessed by ghost fires and became the dead of ghosts and gods. This trick didn't work for him.

"Sai Heyuan? Come to the Grand Palace of Qin... Oh, it's hot..."

"It should have come to look for me, but it's menacing, it's better for Ono-san to get out of the way first."

"Eh?"

Gui Dengkong waved the mace and tried its strength, but it has been useless for a long time, and the recent self is a little unqualified.Ignoring Ono Huang whose head was about to burn, the ghost lamp patted out the will-o'-the-wisps and walked forward.

The stone lantern in the distance lowered his head, and his head was blocked by his younger brother. The will-o'-the-wisp must have overflowed from that lantern.It seems that this technique can be used at the brazier... Touching his chin, the ghost lamp cast a probing look at the porcelain that was deliberately avoided, and he could probably guess the reason why the other party came to him.

——Didn't Bone Girl Sang tell Shi Lantern about that?

——No, he didn't seem to have mentioned it to Bone Girl Sang before, so she didn't have time to tell others.

The ghost lamp stopped in its tracks, and King Qin Guang's porcelain seemed to have turned on some switch in his mind. ...not bad anyway.

Ghost Lantern, who was shaking S but didn't know it, simply gave up exploring.

"...Master Ghost Lantern, I heard Mr. Bai Ze from Taoyuan Township say that you planned the death of the bone girl eldest sister?"

"That mythical beast... It's not a plan, it's just a very ordinary plan." Ghost Lantern nodded generously.

"..."

Shi Lantern raised his head and hugged his younger brother in front of his stomach, his gray eyes were facing the ghost lamp, his eyes were calm but not much anger could be seen.However, the anger has been reflected in the rings of will-o'-the-wisps burning around him.

It turns out that the stone lantern was originally a monster that manipulated will-o'-the-wisps.In a sense, it can be said that the person who saved the ghost lamp once, he touched his chin, he felt that he was usually a person with clear grievances, but repaying kindness sounds more troublesome than revenge.

Too much trouble to admit it.

"However, Bone Girl-san left so early is a bit unexpected. Now it seems that her temperament before running to Yuzao impulsively is quite similar to yours."

"No, she should have planned a little bit, but she forgot her plan during the planning process, which led to her actions being different and failing."

Stone Lantern took a step back and opened the distance between him and Ghost Lantern. He didn't deny his impulse. It was indeed his impulsiveness to come to Ghost Lantern and even make a move as soon as they met. For the opponent, the first target chosen by the stone lantern is the ghost lamp that cannot be chosen as the enemy.

"Personally, I don't quite agree with you setting fire to the gate of the Grand Palace of Qin. ——Is Ono-san okay? Santuchuan is just outside."

"What's wrong with Qin Guangdian—it's hot, stop it, kid——thank you, Lord Ghost Lantern."

Ghost Lamp turned around and asked with concern.Hearing that there was a faint tendency of fire on his head, Ono Huang, who was looking for a pool everywhere, rushed out of the stone lantern formation gratefully, and ran outside.

"Ah, that's no problem. The will-o'-the-wisps will only burn the dead, and are harmless to other things. Otherwise, how did the will-o'-the-wisps in the forest burn without causing a forest fire? As a result of being issued more than a dozen red cards by the Monster Administration No matter how dissatisfied you are, you can only silently turn your will-o'-the-wisp into a harmless flame to the forest."

A string of ice-blue flames suddenly sprang up in front of the stone lantern, blocking between the two of them. They clearly said that they were only useful for the dead, but they kept spouting out.Fortunately, it is still lunch time, and the surrounding employees have all gone to the cafeteria, but they feel sorry for Ono Huang's beloved wife's bento.

"You are quite a powerful figure in Miss Tujini's mouth."

"Tu Jini? Oh, Tu Jini Tian? At that time, I hadn't received a red card. You must know that a child who has not been warned and has not grown up is very scary." The dialogue between the stone lantern and the ghost lamp has long deviated from the topic. The will-o'-the-wisps kept coming out with the anger, although he knew that the assistant officer in front of him must have some plans of his own, but--this kind of thing cannot be stopped in a short while.

It's probably a bit like the mentality of "no matter what your plan is, you should beat me up first".

"Speaking of which, ghost fire can harm the dead...does it mean that it can turn the dead into ghosts?"

Reminiscent of what happened to him, Ghost Lantern asked meaningfully, touched the ice-blue ghost fire with his finger, as the stone lantern said, he couldn't feel any harm to himself.

"Monsters are basically made up of fear and hatred. Master Ghost Lantern, you just happen to meet the two in order to resonate with the ghost fire."

"That's just right, Shi Lantern and I will go to Yan Modian." Gui Deng nodded.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Ghost Lantern. Now I'm full of dissatisfaction and I can't calm down. Please let me burn for a while."

"..." Ghost Lantern waved off the will-o'-the-wisp between the two, thought carefully for a long time, held the mace in both hands, stood in front of the stone lantern, with a posture ready for battle, "That's it, finish the fight early Get over it early."
