Tomo-sama's Rescue Plan - Hell Chapter

A few days later, I took two pieces of monster crystal nuclei that I had saved for Tong Mo as snacks, and picked up a few unusually long flowers and plants in the garden, and sneaked out the door.

This time I didn't bring Xiaomei with me.This child's concentration is not strong enough, and she is easily irritable when things happen. Besides, I don't want to involve her in unknown dangers.

When Zhu Shi opened the purple mist as a barrier for me, he asked politely: "Where is your sister? Why didn't you come to play with me this time?"

I smiled, and handed her a bouquet of flowers and plants in my hand: "I came here specially to thank you, so I didn't bring her with me. The child can't sit still, and I still want to have a good chat with Miss Zhushi. I don't have anything else I don’t know any medicine, so I just brought some flowers, I don’t know if there are any of them that you can use?”

She took the bouquet of flowers and said with a gentle smile: "Miss Ran is so considerate and brought a gift. Please come in quickly, did you encounter any danger on the way?"

There seemed to be some kind of spice in her house this time, and it smelled like some kind of plant.I sat down at the low table as if nothing had happened, watched her put those flowers on the table, and looked at them carefully.

"Miss Zhu Shi is amazing, I don't know any of the plants here." I said.

"It's just a doctor's instinct. When I was still alive, I was fortunate enough to have more time than others to study medical skills and pharmacology. Even if I came to hell, I couldn't change it. But these flowers brought by Miss Ran are indeed Something special."

She picked up a few of the plants and said, "These should be flowers that grow near the spiritual veins. They need a lot of spiritual energy to grow. Such places are not common in hell. Where did Miss Ran find them? "

She actually knows the spiritual power system here?It's really not easy.

"I found it after chasing a monster into a valley. There are all kinds of flowers that I don't know. I picked some of them when they looked good. But let me ask, "I stared at her." Miss Zhu Shi is a human doctor, why did she know that there is a spiritual vein here?"

Her beautiful lavender eyes met mine, and she was very calm: "I don't want to hide Miss Ran, I have a few people I know well, and they have been degraded here for hundreds of years. When I first came here, I relied on their protection. He also taught me a lot of knowledge about this place, but I only want to make amends and pray for the tragic death of my husband and young son, so I don't plan to join them."

"Although this sounds a bit strange, your husband and children should have gone to the other shore, so you don't have to worry too much. Why don't you go to reunite with them, instead trap yourself here?"

While consoling me with sympathy, I silently felt that I had really received the true biography of a certain leader during this period of time, why even my words became hypocritical.

Zhu Shi did not answer, but poured me a glass of water from a teapot next to him, and said with a smile: "I didn't even prepare tea when you came last time, I can't be so rude this time, Miss Ran, please drink Tea."

Tea?I'm a little confused.

I remember Tong Mo said not to eat what she gave, tea...does it count?

There is no way, under her earnest eyes, I can only pick up the teacup and drink it down.

"It's so fragrant." I admired, "What kind of tea is this? Is there such a fragrant flower in hell?"

She smiled slightly, "It's a plant I call "Snow Fern". It's medicinally similar to the wisteria in the world. I happen to have these plants near my residence. I picked them to make tea and found that they taste good. Do you like it, Miss Ran? "

"It's okay," I savored, "it's just too fragrant, I prefer matcha."

"Miss Ran is really interesting." Zhu Shi's smile was much gentler, "He is as straightforward as a boy."

I speculate that the breath of ghost blood on my body should be very weak under the cover of spiritual power, and it is unknown how much Zhu Shi can detect; secondly, she saw that I drank the strange medicinal tea without any abnormalities, so her suspicion should be somewhat relieved.

Take a gamble.

"My parents passed away early, and I depend on me to take care of the shrine at home. I can't do without being strong." I smiled very naturally, "After all, my sister is still young, and I will find her a good family when I go back."

"I also touch spells on a daily basis, but I have never heard of any human beings who can open the passage to the endless hell." Zhu Shi said slowly while pouring tea, "This place only belongs to the heinous ghosts, Miss Ran will appear here , it's too unreasonable, so I had doubts before, you won't be angry, will you?"

"I don't blame you, it's because you don't know something. This kind of spell was passed down by the onmyoji in the Heian period. At that time, the separation between the world and hell was not so clear. There was a method that allowed the caster to travel between the two worlds." In between, and my family’s shrine just inherited this method, which was originally a secret method, and if I can’t go back, it will probably be lost.” I laughed, “But you are also a human being, which means that humans have entered here It's not uncommon."

Zhu Shi showed a bitter smile.

"If I say that I am not human, will Miss Ran be afraid?"

I burst out laughing: "Not human? Are you a ghost?"

"I am indeed a ghost," she said.

"I haven't seen a ghost, Miss Zhushi." I took a sip of the tea in my cup, "But I grew up in a shrine, because my eyes are special, and I can see things that ordinary people can't see. In my opinion, Even if there are ghosts, they are just one type among all living beings, and they are not scary."

"Miss Ran said this because she has never encountered ghosts, and those who have been robbed of everything by ghosts." Zhu Shi lowered his eyes, "You probably can't understand the tragedy of losing all your relatives overnight."

"Ah... that's really conceivable." I nodded, "If I lose the one I love, it will probably be heartbreaking."

"But I have traveled a lot, and I have seen many other things. For example, because of the fight between the daimyos, the farmers who had all their harvests burned and had to starve to death; because they accidentally offended the powerful, the husband and wife were forced to commit suicide together. merchants; the boy who was poisoned by his neighbors and killed his whole family in the well water; and the girl who resisted because she didn’t want to be insulted by the samurai and was burned alive.” I smiled and took another sip of tea. It seems that ghosts are not the source of many evils in the world, but human hearts are."

Zhu Shi lightly covered his mouth with a smile, "As expected of being from a family of priests, Miss Ran has such an extraordinary idea."

"It's like in yin and yang art, evil things may be cured, but the evil in people's hearts can't be cured." I looked directly at the woman in front of me, "So I don't care if Miss Zhu Shi is a ghost, I only care about your heart something."

"Miss Ran is well-informed, but she doesn't understand the existence of ghosts."

There seemed to be two clouds of mist in her eyes, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

"Ghosts are very difficult to control their desire to kill and eat. Even if they have good thoughts in their hearts, they are still monsters that bear countless lives. This cannot be changed no matter what." She sighed softly.

"Then, if ghosts can control their desire to kill, can they coexist with humans?" I asked curiously.

Zhu Shi raised his head and looked at me, and said with a smile, "Your words remind me of an old friend of mine. Her sister also said similar things and had similar hopes. Miss Ran is a gentle girl."

She seemed to be less wary of me: "As a doctor, when I was alive, I also spent many years researching medicines that can turn ghosts back into humans."

"Oh?" I was surprised, "Is there still this drug? How effective is it?"

"Judging from the final result, it is useful." Zhu Shi showed a slightly cold smile, "It successfully eliminated the existence I wanted to obliterate. For this result, even if we fall into hell with him, I don't regret it either."

"Don't talk about these old things." There was a trace of apology in her tone, "Since Miss Ran doesn't know these things, it's better not to know them forever. I shouldn't take the liberty to mention them."

"It's okay, it sounds fun. By the way, this is for you."

I put the two crystals on the table, "This is the crystal nucleus from the monster I hunted, and I will give it to you for medicinal use."

Zhu Shi picked up a spar with great interest, "Miss Ran's combat power is so extraordinary, it's amazing, it's the first time I've seen a human girl can hunt monsters in the endless hell. I have several friends , maybe you can chat."

"Is it the friends you mentioned earlier who have stayed here for hundreds of years?"

I secretly felt strange in my heart.The hunters in hell have always fought alone, and there are very few groups. The fundamental reason is that there is no friendship in this place. After all, no matter how strong the bond is, it cannot withstand the test of survival in a dark place for hundreds of years. You never know whether the person behind it will Will give you a knife at the critical moment.

"Yes, because Miss Ran brought her younger sister, the two girls are not safe after all. Maybe they can seek their protection before finding a way to leave here."

"Thank you, Ms. Zhu Shi, for your concern, but it's about my sister's safety. I can't trust strangers for the time being." I said, "It would be great if I could meet your friend first before making a decision."

"No problem, I can introduce Miss Ran." She said softly.

So they agreed to meet at Zhu Shi's home three days later, and go to the place where her friends are together.I am very curious about her mysterious "friends", but the downside is that it seems impossible to exclude Xiaomei, after all, I can see that in my story that may have a loophole at any time, it is the part of "bringing a sister" What impresses her the most.
