[Comprehensive Manga] Live with a smile

Thursday, April [-]th, was as fine a day as yesterday.

When Mu Mu entered the dream, there was continuous light rain in the dream.The raindrops fell on the ground, mixed with the blood and mud of the corpses, making it extremely muddy when stepped on.He had been with Xi Ji for half a year, and it was the first time he saw rain in her dream, and even the place where the corpse was placed on the edge of the dream turned into mud.

Xi Ji, who was digging the soil with a shovel, froze, looked up at Mukui who was standing in the light range, and said indifferently: "I have something to do today, come back tomorrow."

The rain flowed down her hair, fitting her clothes all the way down, and from the angle of Mukui, she could only see the indelible darkness in her eyes, as well as the death-like silence.

Looking at the countless potholes dug around, Mu asked aloud: "You can remove those corpses, why dig a grave yourself?"

After burying another corpse in the pit and carefully burying himself, Xi Ji conjured up another cross tombstone and inserted it in front of the tomb.From the beginning to the end, she didn't turn back to answer Muku's question, as if Mukuro didn't exist at all.

Mui, who didn't know what happened, looked at the black snake on the bed again, but the black snake looked at Mui, and kicked Mui out of Xi Ji's dream with a flick of its tail.

He is not needed today.

Looking at the countless 'own' corpses, as well as the corpses that lost too much blood that were produced yesterday, Xi Ji looked at the messy dream, still not saying a word and expressionless.

The black snake didn't know exactly what happened, it only knew that Xi Ji's mood fluctuated for a while during the day yesterday, and he was almost swallowed up by the overflowing despair.Even with such a big change in the dream now, it doesn't know what to do, it can only respect Xi Ji's choice, and let her bury all the 'self' in the dream for peace.

Her corpse appeared in the dream after she died that year, that is, from the age of eight to the age of 14 now, and there are more than 2000 corpses.

Originally, there was no room for so many corpses in the dream. Normally, these corpses are stacked on top of each other, piled together, and crowded to the brim.But now for some reason, Xi Ji seemed to have been stimulated by something, and his mental power developed rapidly. Every time he buried a 'self', the area of ​​the dream expanded by an inch.If it is to be buried, it may really have the size of a small town.

"...Silly snake, what are you persuading me?" Xi Ji shoveled away a handful of soil with a shovel, and said, "I'm just doing what I think I should do."

"I should have died eight years ago..."

So eye-catching didn't talk anymore, and watched her digging the grave silently.

Although it was very depressing in the dream, when she actually woke up and faced the Fujiwara couple and Natsume, Yuki still had that bright smiling face.

"Wow, this miso soup is delicious, it seems to taste like home..." Holding a bowl of miso soup for breakfast, Xi Ji was shocked.

Toko Fujiwara smiled kindly, waved his hand and said, "It's just ordinary tofu kelp, remember to tell me if you want a second bowl."

"No, I'm telling the truth, it really feels like my mother is still there." Xi Ji recalled the woman whose memory was already blurred, showing a slightly nostalgic smile.She hoped that her mother might still be living in that strange world, and she also hoped that her mother would have died long ago so that she would not have to suffer any more.People are indeed contradictory.

This is an extremely sensitive topic. All the people present were silent and did not speak any more, and passed the breakfast time quietly.

After helping Fujiwara Toko clean up the dishes, Yuki stood in the middle of the yard and stretched while watching the rising sun. The air was filled with the smell of grass, trees and soil, which made people feel comfortable.

"Akashi, are you leaving soon?" Natsume asked behind him.

"Why, drive me away? Auntie agreed with me to stay." Xi Ji frowned and said, "It's a holiday anyway, and my younger brother won't say anything about me if I play a little longer, so I'll go back in the afternoon. By the way, you are here today Is there any itinerary, can I go with you?"

Even without yesterday's strong and chaotic mood, Yuki still unconsciously wants to get close to Natsume, and it seems that her behavior is still a bit aggressive.

"Uh, I'll go to the next town to buy something later," Natsume said with a deliberate tone, carefully measuring the distance between himself and Xi Ji, "That might not be very fun, huh?"

Xi Ji shook his head indifferently, and said with a smile that it was okay.

She needs to cheer up, and also needs to re-examine how she feels about Natsume.

The heartbeat when her head was touched last night made her a little confused about how she should treat Natsume, and even realized that her feelings for Shizuo might not be love.So many love scenes that I have seen in books before seem to be useless now. In the face of real combat, all theories seem to be useless.

So she felt that she might have fallen in love with Natsume.

I fell in love with a boy who had only been together for a few days and spent less than a day together.

Hearing that Yuki and Natsume were going to go out together, Toko Fujiwara smiled very happily and prepared lunch for the two of them and Mr. Kitty. A cat does not know why.

"Speaking of which, Akashi, didn't you say that you are not human? Then why is there..."

"I used to be a human, and then I became a non-human. You see Teacher Cat, he said that he used to be a great monster, but now he is still a fat cat."

"Damn girl, how dare you speak ill of me!"

"Hahahaha, you have the ability to catch me, you big fat cat!"

In short, after a series of gags, the two finally reached the next town.

This town is more desolate than Natsume's town, surrounded by mountains that seem to have abandoned factory sites, as well as a huge dam and farmland.The newly opened shopping mall on the street blared huge horns, and the cries of merchants surrounded the ears, but it was hard to conceal the depression of the town and the ugly faces of passers-by.

And soon Xi Ji discovered something surprising. She saw posters with the words 'Please cherish life' and 'Don't go out casually at night' on several notice boards.

Is there really nothing wrong with this town?

Then, what scares Xi Ji the most is that Natsume is walking on the road, sometimes suddenly pulling Xi Ji to another road, or deliberately bypassing something that has no place.Even the cat teacher has been vigilant, often swearing and pawing at empty places.

So, so this town is...?

The cowardly Xi Ji tugged at the corner of Natsume's clothes the whole time, and now she was no different from a waste who couldn't see ghosts and ghosts.There are magical creatures invisible to the naked eye everywhere, staring at her. This sense of horror reminds her of Heizi, but Heizi is at least a human being.

"Natsume, are you sure this town is safe?" After dodging invisible things again, Xi Ji asked very worriedly.

Natsume nodded hesitantly, with a hint of uncertainty in his tone: "The aura of this town is becoming more and more biased towards ghosts, even during the day, there will be some unconscious wandering outside. Although the mountain god here has also fallen, it should be fine during the day. .”

"What should it be!" Xi Ji felt that her goosebumps were about to come out, and she regretted why she came here, "You didn't really come here to buy something, did you?!"

What can't be bought in the original town, but why come to a more remote town here?That shopping mall that looks unpopular?

The cat teacher next to him snorted, with a disgusted tone: "It's not all because Natsume is stupid. In the morning, a little monster asked him to come over to deal with a fallen god. This stupid boy actually came here without bringing anyone with him."

"I just came here to investigate, and I will contact someone to help later." Natsume explained with a wry smile.

After listening to the explanation, Xi Ji was still not at ease.Fallen gods generally refer to gods who used to be gods, but because the incense was cut off, in order to maintain the incense and belief, they hurt human beings to maintain their own existence like evil gods.The scary thing is that from Natsume's tone, the god he was entrusted with seems to be different from the mountain god he mentioned earlier, which means that there are several gods who believe in this town, and they may even be degenerate.

Hell, what a horrible place this is, no wonder the residents look so bad.

Seeing that Xi Ji looked bad, Natsume also felt a little sorry, and kept persuading her to take the bus back early, so that he could do the rest by himself.But Xiji thought about the danger level of this town, and felt that Natsume couldn't be left alone, even if there was a cat teacher, she couldn't rest assured.

In fact, Natsume himself didn't have much confidence. When he was asked by the little monster, he contacted Natori immediately, but was told that he was very busy recently and couldn't make time.The only onmyoji he knew and could trust was Natori, and that little monster begged so hard that he had no choice but to rush over and add Xi Ji.Before leaving, I begged Mr. Cat alone, if anything happened, take Xi Ji away first, Natsume always has an advantage in dealing with monsters and ghosts with all his spiritual power.

However, he didn't expect that the god who was asked for help would be so dangerous.

The body was a mass of red, with unidentified limbs similar to human hands, countless eyes blinking on the body, and a hand dangling in the huge mouth.In the place where the chest should be, there is a pair of hands holding a pair of huge blood-red scissors. The whole body is covered with a bloody breath, and one can tell that the crime is extremely serious.

Natsume also only learned from the little monster who came in the morning that this god was once a good god who resolved the emotional conflicts between humans and helped people cut off troubles. He didn't know anything else, so he came to inquire about the situation.

"Natsume, are you going to deal with that god? With all due respect, I may not even have a chance of winning against Shangyuan Tianzun." Xi Ji said with concern while observing the monster in front of him.

I didn't intend to surprise Natsume in Yuki, "Hey, Akashi, can you see it? No, how do you know the name of the god?"

"Didn't you hear him introduce himself?" Xi Ji pointed at the creature that couldn't tell whether it was a monster or a god, "He also said that he wanted to cut off a person, cut off the limbs and then the head, That sounds like a lot of fun.”

Natsume looked back at the monster again, only to see the big bloodshot eyeballs and the indistinct bursting laughter from the stuffed mouth, with a strong and mixed killing intent, which made him a little breathless.

Teacher Cat looked serious, and said, "Be careful, Natsume, that pair of scissors may also be made of the power of wronged souls, and they are the God of Slaughter."

Hearing this, Xi Ji, who could hear what Yuan Tianzun said, scratched his cheek, and helped to defend, "It's not about killing... Ah, Natsume said that he must cut off a person's limbs and head to appear, as long as He won't leave until he's done."

And listening to Yuan Tianzun vaguely talking about how fun it is to cut people, and how happy the people who prayed to him are when their wishes come true, Xi Ji felt that he might be very compatible with him.The big pair of scissors were very sharp, and it seemed that a single scissor could break through Xi Ji's fragile defense and send her to heaven.Except that Yuan Tianzun's own god was a little distorted because of the way he fulfilled his wish and he was almost losing his mind, Xi Ji even wanted to make friends with him.

And almost after Xi Ji finished telling the story, Yuan Tianzun opened and closed his scissors, with a strange and shrill laugh from his mouth, and rushed towards this side with a click.

Pulling Natsume to hide aside, Xi Ji looked up at the sky.

This town is really a bit evil. Mingming Fujiwara's town is covered with clear skies, but it is covered with dark clouds tens of kilometers away.In addition, there are many trees on the side of Yuantianzun Shrine. These ghosts and ghosts seem to be unscrupulous as long as they are not exposed to the sun during the day. Xi Ji even wondered if the residents could see these ghosts to some extent, so they put up so many strange signs.

Looking back, Yuan Tianzun was no longer in the position just now, and flashed behind Natsume again. It seemed that he was a boss with teleportation and self-sniping. Xi Ji nodded, thinking about how to break the situation.

Judging from the fact that he was chasing Natsume instead of Xiji, Yuan Tianzun might like Xiji quite a lot, and of course it might be because of Natsume's spiritual power.But according to what he just said, in fact, as long as it is humanoid with hands, feet and head cut for him, he will be so happy that he can leave.

I have to cut it every time it appears, and I can't help but understand why the little monster would find Natsume unbearable.

Just cut it...

"Natsume, don't be afraid for the next half hour! Don't be afraid of anything that happens..." Halfway through the speech, Xi Ji looked at Natsume's expression again. He stared at Xi Ji very seriously, and his gentle eyes revealed Puzzled, Xi Ji couldn't bear to let him see what happened next.Even if his memory would be blurred half an hour later, she still couldn't bear it.

So Yuki directly knocked Natsume unconscious.

"Girl, what are you doing?!" The cat teacher who was seducing Yuan Tianzun away with a fat cat body was shocked, turned around and wanted to run over, but was afraid that Yuan Tianzun's scissors would cut Natsume.

Xi Ji smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm going to use the big move next, which is a little bloody. Teacher Cat, remember that Natsume must not wake up in the next half hour, my big move lasts longer."

"Aha?!"

After talking about Xi Ji, he ran to the other side of the open space and saw the painted horses that fell on the ground, each of which recorded the wishes of the residents for Yuan Tianzun.There are those who hope to make the hated person unhappy, and those who hope for revenge, and those who curse others to die.In short, except for a few benevolent wishes, everything else is a pile of negative emotions, and Yuan Tianzun, who was prayed to, gradually lost control and eventually fell into this pile of negative emotions.

Well, I feel like he is a god who has a lot in common with me. It might be a kind of fate to be able to see him with the naked eye.

"Yuan Tianzun! Come here, come and cut me!"

Xi Ji stood on the spot, turned around and stretched out her hands and feet, hearing the sound of scissors clicking, she still smiled so happily that she was sunny.

"Crack!"

On the way back, Natsume was still rubbing the back of his head where he was knocked out.

Xi Ji next to her was full of apology. She was in a hurry and didn't hold back her strength. She forgot how terrible her own strength was, and said, "Is it still hurting so much? I'm really sorry, I will definitely not do this next time... ...No, there will be no next time."

The cat teacher at his feet was far away from Xi Ji, wrinkling his nose, "Listen up Natsume, never agree to that kind of little monster casually again. This time luck solved it, next time if you mess with the big boss, I will I can't protect you either!"

"Then Mr. Cat, you are really meaningless as a bodyguard."

"Shut up you bitch!"

Xi Ji spread his hands helplessly, "It's obviously me who solved it this time, Mr. Cat, you didn't contribute much, did you?"

Immediately afterwards, she was bitten by the cat teacher, and then she spat on the ground in disgust, saying that Xi Ji's body smelled of death again, and pulled Natsume's trousers to ask Natsume to buy him steamed buns.

Natsume laughed, skipped the part of buying steamed buns for Mr. Cat, and looked at Xi Ji.

He was knocked out and woke up an hour later.It was still in the open space behind the shrine, but Yuan Tianzun, who was the protagonist, was nowhere to be seen. Only Xi Ji was arguing with the cat teacher with the huge pair of scissors.Seeing that he woke up, he told him that Xi Ji had successfully solved Yuan Tianzun's problem, and the scissors in his hand were the spoils of war this time, and he won the whole process.

"Do you want to ask Yuan Tianzun where he went?" Xi Ji asked suddenly.

Natsume was taken aback, and nodded hesitantly.

"I haven't gone anywhere. Anyway, the people in the town are almost forgetting about him, and the forgotten god will only have one end." Bringing up this topic made Xi Ji feel a little uncomfortable, she lowered her head and kicked a stone away. , "He was about to dissipate, and he ascended to heaven after chatting with me for a while, and left the scissors to me."

This pair of scissors was very sharp and extremely huge, which made Xi Ji have a problem with how to use it.They also changed their weapons, and she was not even as good as Kulan Yuki, who was able to easily replace a stick with a sickle.

"..."

This time Natsume didn't speak any more, and the two walked back quietly, with Mr. Cat's meowing next to him.

The bento was simply settled on the way, and it was already evening when the two returned to the town.Yuki didn't plan to follow Natsume back to Fujiwara's house, it would take too much time to go back and forth, and Seijuro would be angry if he went back too late.

Handing the bento box and some miscellaneous items to Natsume, Yuki carefully checked the wound on the back of Natsume's head, and felt relieved after confirming that there was nothing serious.

The only injured person on the scene was injured because of 'Lie Win', and his mood was complicated.

"Thank you for taking me out to play today. I really don't know what your world looks like." Although so far, the only monsters that Xi Ji can see are Teacher Cat and Tianzun Yuan, and I have to say the latter's The appearance is heartbreaking. Are all monsters so ugly?

Thinking about it this way, Natsume Mirai, who often helps monsters and humans, might have a problem with his aesthetic ability.Thinking of this crucial matter, Xi Ji was full of sorrow. She didn't want to be rejected by Natsume because of the gap in aesthetics.

Determined that he might really like someone, and also felt that 100% of himself would be dumped, which meant he was broken in love, Xi Ji looked at Natsume's side face, greedy for this kind of time to be by his side, and held his hand tightly.

"Natsume, if I say..."

"Ok?"

"No nothing. We're still friends, right?"

Feeling as if he missed something, Natsume nodded, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "You have always been my friend."

That's right, let's just say, it really can only be friends.Guessing that he has really reached puberty, his head is full of unrealistic thoughts, Xi Ji tried hard to blink his eyes to endure the desire to cry, and put on a smile as usual, saying: "May our friendship last forever Forever, I will come to see you once in a while."

"Okay. Ah, about yesterday's one or not..."

"Hahaha, I know, I lost my temper yesterday, so just treat me as sick." Xi Ji smiled and said haha, and gave the snacks she bought on the way back to Teacher Mao, seeing Teacher Mao's naive appearance, quietly I breathed a sigh of relief.

So tired, so tired in my heart.

The action that was originally impossible to succeed and yet to be carried out failed, the love that he would not agree to at the beginning was stillborn, and even the newly made interracial friendship was completely shattered within half an hour of meeting.

Why on earth did she come to Yahara?Apart from what Lily said she got the weapon, she really did a bunch of bad things when she came here.

"Then goodbye, Akashi."

"Well, goodbye, Natsume."

It was already late when Seijuro returned home. After playing wildly with a group of junior high school students after the basketball club's activities, he was already exhausted.

There is still a person sitting in the living room, not the father, but the silly sister who went out yesterday.She was staring blankly at the advertisement page on TV, completely different from the spirit she had when she went out yesterday.

"What's the matter, sister Xi Ji?" Asking the servant to bring a cup of hot water, Seijuro also sat next to Xi Ji, watching the unnutritious advertisement with her.

For some reason, perhaps there is a certain connection between blood and blood, Seijuro felt that Yuki seemed to be in a bad mood, as if he had been waiting for someone to comfort him.Based on his experience, it's best to wait for her to speak slowly at this time, and it's better not to talk nonsense.

He took a sip of hot water, and the same unnutritious variety show began to play on the TV. The large living room echoed with the artificial laughter of the show guests, and even the surrounding servants held their breath carefully, for fear of disturbing the young lady and the young master.

There was an extra person beside him, and Xi Ji didn't feel that something was wrong, he leaned directly on Seijuro's body, tilting his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Ah Zheng, do you think I'm really unpopular?"

There were several figures that he knew about quickly flashed before his eyes, Seijuro took another sip of hot water and asked her what happened.

Xi Ji sighed and said, "I'm broken in love."

Seijuro didn't talk to him immediately, he hesitated for a while, and said, "Then let Heihe Island be sent in for the crime of 'destroying public facilities'."

"Eh? What's the matter with Mr. Shizuo?!"

"Eh? Isn't he the one you confessed to?!"

The author has something to say: Xiao Jing who is lying on the gun: Ah Choo!

The town and Yuan Tianzun in this chapter come from the game "Late Night". This game has a live broadcast of Lan Shao on station B, and it is also the source of the meme of "press ○ to hang yourself".

Now Yuki has a pair of red scissors, and Akashi's symbol will also have a pair of red scissors in the future, as expected of the Akashi family.

The other lines are all approaching Xi Ji proactively, only Natsume line is a self-strategy route that Xi Ji gets up to and then rolls out by himself, and Natsume himself still has a confused face.And the Natsume line is not over yet, the craziest part of this line is that he will pull other lines into the water as a backing...

It doesn't matter if you don't understand the last two chapters, as long as you know that Xi Ji is a victim of love logic, she doesn't even understand her love logic, the next chapter will be normal.

This chapter is two in one, plus -1.Thanks to "Ya Ya" for the cute mine, so there are still seven chapters (I may have to return to the next article, desperate)
