After exposing myself, I was approached by my best friend

Not far from the corner, away from the other party's sight, Abe Seimei's footsteps gradually slowed down, the roots of his ears were hot, he touched his chest, and felt his beating heart slowly come down after breathing heavily.

Five clear...

Abe Seimei rolled the name on the tip of his tongue a few times, and the shy face between the brows, which was illuminated by the warm light of the setting sun, appeared in front of his eyes.

The heartbeat returned to normal, but Abe Seimei's eyes darkened a little bit.

There is something wrong with this person.

Abe Seimei said that he needs to go out in the near future, Gojo Kiyoshi thought it would be a few days, but he didn't expect to receive the news of departure in just two days.

He said that the destination of this trip was Tanba City, which is located in the southwest of Kyoto. On the bullock cart, Gojo Kiyoshi asked him why he was going to that place. Abe Seimei said: "Tanba City has not been peaceful recently. It caused panic among the people, and the city lord sent people to search for it, but there was no result, and he heard someone said that he saw a monster, so he asked for help from Yinyang Liao."

"The Yinyang Liao has a generous salary, but in contrast, in addition to the daily guarding of Ping An Jing, the number of tasks arranged by the Liao is also required every year. The source of these tasks is the help and crusade missions from various places."

"That's it." Wujo Qing nodded. "It seems to be quite hard work."

"The mission is okay, but the long journey is really difficult." Abe Seimei sighed, Gojo Kiyoshi looked at him with his face propped up, Abe Seimei was a little uncomfortable, and asked him: "What's wrong?"

Wutiaoqing smiled at the corner of his mouth and shook his head. It was hard for the other party to find a bullock cart to take care of him and the little guy. There are some things that need not be clarified.

Speaking of the little guy, Wu Tiaoqing shifted his gaze to the Ma Ye boy who was sitting beside him. This child has been extremely silent since waking up with a high fever a few days ago. His face is expressionless and lifeless. , I don’t know what’s wrong, Wujoqing was not at ease leaving him in the mansion, so he asked Abe Seimei to bring him along.

"Little boy." Wutiaoqing called him, and Ma Yetong raised his eyes, but he couldn't see any light in his eyes, which was dark and scary. Wutiaoqing stretched out his hand to pinch him for the past two days. Because the food was okay, he had a little fleshy face, and smiled. asked him. "What are you thinking?"

Ma Ye Boy pursed his lips, shook his head for a while, and remained silent, looking preoccupied.

In the next second, someone popped his forehead, and his eyes were red with pain, and he glared at the culprit.

Wu Tiaoqing looked at him with a smile on his face, his hand was still in mid-air maintaining the posture just now, and he tapped his fingertips lightly, "Children, don't think too much, be careful not to grow tall if you are frowning."

what do you know!

Ma Ye Boy almost roared, but looked at those eyes with a soft smile, and forcibly stopped the desire to roar.

The young child doesn't have enough experience to understand the people around him, as if he still doesn't understand why the villagers who used to be kind and peaceful with each other would turn gentle The amiable mother who never had disputes with others was burned alive as a monster.

When Ma Ye boy fled to the deep mountains, he swore that he would kill all those ignorant human beings to avenge his mother. Since they regarded his mother as a monster, then he was the son of monsters. limit.

It's just that he didn't expect that he would suddenly lose this memory and be brought back to the human world by this person.

Maya Boy's heart is complicated and unspeakable. His hatred for human beings has not weakened, and even became stronger because of recollection, but this person is different after all.

Blocking himself behind in the dark night, facing the man-eating monster alone, facing the majestic and unattainable mountain, isolating all dangers outside, the sense of security that Ma Yedouzi has never experienced,

My mother once said that when a person is kind to himself, he must repay the kindness, so... just wait, wait until he returns the kindness of saving his life, and then go to avenge his mother.

For this, he needs the strength to support his revenge.

For example, the so-called yin and yang technique in the mouth of the guy who confirmed his mother.

A few days later, when we arrived at Tamba Castle, the lord of the city waited for a long time, but when he saw Abe Seimei's silver-white hair, he seemed a little suspicious. Abe Seimei took it for granted and took out the document from Yinyangliao from his sleeve. The lord of the city was relieved after confirming the authenticity again and again. , some eagerly explained the situation to him.

"...About three months ago, the first person who disappeared was a small merchant from a foreign country. He stayed with a family in the city for one night, but he didn't see him leave the room until the next afternoon. I was so relieved, I went to look and found that the room was empty, I thought the other party had already left, so I didn't care much."

"But since that time, people have disappeared every once in a while, and without exception they are foreigners staying overnight. The luggage is still there, but no one can be seen. Gradually, everyone realizes that something is wrong, but after that This kind of strange thing didn’t continue to happen, so everyone gradually forgot about it.”

"However, a month ago, someone disappeared again."

The city lord sighed, with a sad face on his face: "This time, it was a local nobleman who immediately arranged for people to search for him after he was missing, but he still couldn't find it until someone found a blood-stained man in the forest not far outside the city. Rags."

"Then I saw a strange black figure nearby. When this news came back, everyone began to speculate whether there was a monster at work, and they became panicked for a while."

"And this news was spread, and the rumor that 'there is a man-eating monster in Danba City' began to spread, so that no one dared to pass by during this time, and would rather take a long way than step into the city. "

"Although Danba City is a small city, because of its close relationship with the official road, some traders, wandering warriors, and even nobles will choose to rest in the city."

"Because of rumors during this period, no one wants to enter the city, and the lives of residents are not easy."

The city lord looked at Abe Seimei and his party, bowed his body, and said sincerely: "Master Onmyoji, please find out the reason for everyone's disappearance. If it is really a monster, please destroy it and restore peace to the city."

Although this onmyoji looks different from ordinary people, since he was arranged by Yinyangliao, the city lord can only ask him.

"I will do my best, please rest assured." Abe Seimei replied gently and gently.

With the promise, the expression on the city lord's face relaxed, and he warmly invited them to rest in the mansion first. Coming from the capital can be regarded as a long journey. If the rumors hadn't intensified during this period, he wouldn't be so rude to the other party when they just arrived here Just pull people to pour bitter water.

Abe Seimei declined the invitation of the city lord, saying that he needed to go to the city to understand the situation first. The vigorous and decisive action made the city lord very happy, but he didn't show it on his face, and said with a bit of regret that he would arrange someone to assist them.

The person arranged by the city lord was a young man in his twenties, tall and thin, with a stooped back.

"This is Xiaojin Zuomen Sanlang, just call him Men Sanlang, he knows everything about the city, you can talk to him about anything you need." The city lord introduced.

Abe Seimei thanked him, and after saying goodbye to the city lord, he left the mansion with Gojo Kiyoshi and Maya Doji who had been serving as background panels.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, the humble and respectful expression on Gojo Kiyoshi's face relaxed, and his thin sense of presence became more abundant. This was specifically reflected in the fact that Mon Saburo, who was in charge of assisting them, took several steps back in fright. Moved, asked him: "Qing, what was that just now?"

"Huh?" Gojo Kiyoshi was thinking about how to answer, when he was suddenly attracted by a scent of fragrance, sniffed lightly with the tip of his nose, focused on discerning the smell in the air, and replied perfunctorily: "It's a little trick that doesn't attract attention. "

Before he could continue to ask, Gojo Kiyoshi hurriedly spoke to the two of them, and then disappeared on the street, leaving Abe Seimei and Ma Yedouji looking at each other in dismay.

"My lord, this..." Men Sanlang scratched his head, not knowing whether to take them to continue to understand the situation or wait for that one to come back.

"...Sorry, wait a minute." Abe Seimei sighed, and took out a small paper figurine from his sleeve.Ma Ye Boy's eyes were fixed, watching his movements closely.
