Chapter 137 Yamamoto Goro Zaemon and the creation of monsters
Well, the man behind the scenes is actually an acquaintance of the Nura-gumi.
An unknown creature named Yamamoto Gorozaemon.
——The reason why he is unknown is because the true form of Yamamoto Goro is neither a human nor a monster.
As for what he is, no one can tell clearly so far. Anyway, the result of Nuliang Liban's investigation is that this guy is now artificially spreading legends and using people's "fear" to create monsters.
In fact, he started this activity many years ago.
However, at that time, the general of the Nura Group, Nura Huadiao, did not pay much attention to this.
——Although some monsters are indeed born due to human beings' "fear" or "wish", it is not easy to create monsters artificially.
No one or monster could have imagined that Gorozaemon Yamamoto actually succeeded.
Qiao Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows as she listened to Kurohanmaru's narration, and asked, "How is the situation now?"
Kurohanamaru was originally just a child, and although his natural personality allowed him to narrate in a fairly clear order, he was somewhat unable to grasp the key points.
When he heard Qiao Xi's question, he was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and then said eagerly: "The second generation will come back to you."
——As for what he wanted to do with Qiao Xi, Kurohanmaru didn't listen to the second generation's detailed explanation, and he didn't take the initiative to ask.
Hearing this, Qiao Xi twirled her fingers and asked, "Where is he now?"
Kurohanmaru: "The second generation and others are paying attention to each other's movements at this time."
Qiao Xi: "That's it..."
Qiao Xi thought for a while, raised her hand to write a note, handed it to the shikigami next to her, then raised her chin towards Kurohanmaru and said: "Lead the way."
Kurohanamaru glanced at the shikigami and respectfully took the note in his hand, then blinked his eyes, and suddenly he happily flashed his wings and led the way in Millennium.
The destination was not too close, so Qiao Xi took the opportunity to ask Kurohanmaru some detailed information during the journey.
——Speaking of which, Qiao Xi is quite curious about creating monsters. After all, if you really want to talk about it, he, the Fengyue God, can be regarded as being "created" by humans.
But it's not "fear", but "willing".
Qiao Xi thought about it casually, and then mentally integrated the information she had learned so far.
The origin of Yamamoto Gorozaemon is very mysterious. Anyway, he had dealt with this guy many years ago when Nura Kahyo first arrived in Edo, but at that time, Yamamoto Goro's presence was not very strong.
However, nearly a hundred years have passed, and people who should have died at the end of their lifespan under normal circumstances are still there in this world - and they have also caused some big things.
…
When she saw Nuliang Liban, Qiao Xi subconsciously squinted her eyes. Well, after all, it was rare to see this little guy who cares so much about his image looking so embarrassed.
The adult Nuliang Liban is at least ten centimeters taller than Qiao Xi. Her tall figure has always been as tall as a bamboo in the eyes of others. Her facial features are more handsome than when she was young, and her golden eyes are habitually closed.
One pupil is open, and the other is always smiling, and the slightly curly black hair is often tied up casually behind his back.
——With such an appearance, anyone would look like a suave and noble young man.
Qiao Xi met Nuliang Liban's eyes, and without holding back, she curved her eyes in a rather pleasant arc.
"..."
A group of monsters with different postures were silent for a moment at Qiao Xi's overly obvious expression. The monster named Headless Ghost shook his head and took the initiative to break the silence: "Lord Fengyue."
Immediately behind, a group of monsters greeted Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi responded while looking around, and then her eyes fell on Nuliang Liban. She looked at him with a half-smile, and said lightly: "Ara, it's really embarrassing."
Nuliang Liban, who was lying on the ground, blinked his eyes, turned over and sat up from the ground, slowly closed his somewhat tattered cuffs, and showed a mischievous smile that seemed to be a bit coquettish: "Teacher~o_o
"
He called out a simple name in a cadence.
In fact, the first time Qiao Xi saw him, she examined him with her eyes (...) and noticed that he only looked embarrassed on the outside, but in fact it was more because he was out of strength and did not suffer any fatal injuries.
, that’s why he was not in a hurry and even had the intention to laugh at this little guy.
Nuliang Liban blinked his eyes, appearing to be exceptionally innocent and well-behaved in front of his teacher, who looked very harmless despite his appearance. Just as he was about to speak, Kurohamaru, who was one step slower than Qiao Xi, suddenly appeared.
, "Wow" and rushed in front of him with tears in her eyes.
"Nidaime! Nidaime! Are you okay?!"
The little guy was small, but his voice was loud enough. The powerful voice echoed directly in Nuliang Liban's ears. Nuliang Liban was so shocked that he almost couldn't breathe. Instead of being injured and having problems, he was choked to death.
Seeing Nuliang Liban's sudden coughing fit, the little guy became more and more panicked. He even wanted to grab his second generation eye and shake it, but he was afraid that something would go wrong and he was afraid of shaking it.
Qiao Xi: "..."
——To be honest, it’s not that he takes pleasure in others’ misfortune. The main thing is that this guy Nuliang Liban has always maintained a persona of being elegant and graceful since he became an adult.
He has the aura of a noble young master, and it is rare for him to be so embarrassed and rude.
Of course, if you look at it from a purely appreciative perspective, the injured noble young master actually has a different feeling.
cough.
Seeing that Nuliang Liban was dying from being fucked by Kuroha Maru, Qiao Xi watched the excitement for a while before mercifully rescuing the person and asking about the current situation.
…
A few minutes later, Nura Liban had already described to Qiao Xi clearly and concisely what happened after Kurohanmaru left.
In fact, this development is not a surprise.
Nura Koiban has always been a restless monster, and the Hyakki Nightwalk he leads is generally consistent with his character. Previously, the monsters discovered Yamamoto Goro's little tricks behind his back, and they couldn't believe it.
He was eager to try, intending to deal with this unknown creature that dared to provoke his second generation, which made him realize that the reputation of their Nulang Group was not groundless.
However, there are still some who have relatively stable personalities, indicating that their origins are unpredictable, their abilities are unclear, and what they have done seems very strange at the moment, so for the sake of safety, why not inform the general or Fengyue-sama before discussing it?
