Chapter 7 So Arrogant?

"The lady?"

Seeing that Mrs. Nishikata had a tendency to cry non-stop, Jingu felt very considerate and handed her a tissue.

"Woo, you can eat if you want, and don't tease me like this anymore." He continued to cry while wiping away. Although he was already such an old man, his tears kept flowing.

What to eat?Eat you?Influenced by Soga's love, Jingu subconsciously thought wrongly, and his eyes wandered over the other person's bumpy figure.

Married women just have charm!

Pooh!what am i thinking

"I think you have misunderstood, madam. I am not a monster." Shengong handed over a few more tissues.

"I am the new owner of this shrine. I am a real god, not a monster."

Jingu conveniently handed her another card. Of course he didn't have any documents. Suga said he would help him apply for these things, but now he just used leaves to imitate the documents in front of Tamamo last night and transformed them casually.

But it's enough to fool these ordinary people.

Sure enough, although she still had doubts about the authenticity of this thing, Mrs. Nishikata was obviously much more settled.

But in the final analysis, it would definitely be outrageous for ordinary people to apply for certificates for monsters and gods.

The person who will believe these certificates at a glance is definitely crazy.

"Are you really a god?" Mrs. Nishikata was still very doubtful. The beautiful boy in front of her looked too much like a normal person. Except for his handsomeness, he really looked like a god.

"Stop talking nonsense. What problem do you have? I promise to solve it. Please solve it first and then charge."

Jingu doesn't want to spend time proving his identity. Showing it to an ordinary person is meaningless, just like performing a trick.

"Then...will you go, Lord God?"

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is done by the priest or witch of the shrine, and the god himself does it?It's really strange, but after all, there are many kinds of gods. Maybe the beautiful boy in front of me is just a weak earth-bound god or something?

No wonder there isn't even a shrine maiden in the shrine. There doesn't seem to be much difference between such gods and monsters.

With the mentality that nothing would happen if she tried, Mrs. Nishikata narrated the incident from beginning to end while leading Jingu home.

"Oh, so it's just a normal thing."

I thought there would be some bizarre and tortuous development, and Shengong felt a little regretful. The simpler things are, the less rewarding they are.

If he solves a big monster or some evil organization that has been entrenched in Tokyo for several years, he will surely become famous in one fell swoop.

But what happened to Mrs. Nishikata was so ordinary that there was no action or behind-the-scenes shadow at all.

"But this is already the second time. I obviously asked a priest to perform an exorcism ritual after being entangled before, and I have returned to normal, but..."

The shrine knew very well what was going on. It was just that the monster that haunted her family was not a vicious monster. After all, she only looked a little haggard after so many days.

Because of the so-called consensus, the last exorcism was probably just a formality and came back half a year later.

"Here, please come in."

Mrs. Nishikata's home is right next to the shrine. It is a pretty good apartment. When she opened the door, the house was dark and dead.

silence.

"Aiko? Aiko, are you up?" Mrs. Nishikata changed her shoes and wanted to find a pair for Jingu, but Jingu went straight into the house.

The furnishings in the house are relatively ordinary. The only special thing is the black and white photo on the table. Should it be Mrs. Nishikata's husband, an orphan and a widowed mother?No wonder the other party cried so sadly just now.

The whole room was filled with a faint stench and some stench. Shen Gong followed the stench and opened the bathroom door. A dark shadow was crawling on the floor of the bathroom.

"Chi Liu Chi Liu~"

The weird thing stretched out its disgusting long tongue and licked it back and forth on the bathroom floor, leaving green stains.

"Ah!" The moment she saw the black shadow, Mrs. Nishikata screamed and hid behind the shrine, hoping that this boy would really have someone to rely on.

Alarmed by the scream, the monster reacted quickly, neighed, and twisted quickly on the ground like a fish. Its bloated body was able to squeeze into the sewer mouth, and it tried to escape along the pipe.

But countless small transparent water ropes tightly strangled it, contracted and tightened, and dragged it out.

The shrine turned on the lights, and the monster's full appearance was revealed under the light. It looked like a human but could not stand on one leg, and its bloated body looked like a rotten fish.

"Don't panic, it's just a worm, it shouldn't hurt anyone." Jingu comforted Mrs. Nishikata. Is this thing the evil spirit in the house?

It shouldn't be, this thing is not only harmless, but also has no sense. Just like an animal, it only relies on instinct to lick the human bathroom.

So even if he killed it, it didn't matter. With a thought in Jingu's mind, a steady stream of water enveloped the dirt, and then completely strangled it in the water ball like a drum washing machine. Even the sewage was cleaned by Mrs. Nishikata.

"Is that settled?"

Seeing that Jingu easily eliminated the monsters in front of her without even moving a finger, Mrs. Nishikata's confidence increased greatly and she was not as scared as before.

"No, this thing shouldn't be the monster that haunts you, it's just an accident."

Jingu shook his head and pulled Mrs. Nishikata out of the bathroom and into the living room. Suddenly, a petite figure appeared on the sofa.

"Aiko? When did you get up?" Mrs. Nishikata looked at the little girl on the sofa in confusion. She was sitting on the sofa with a dull look on her face, her hair hanging down covering her face.

The lights in the room suddenly went out. In the dark moment, Mrs. Nishikata and Jingu clearly saw a figure appearing behind the little girl, seemingly about to attack her.

"Aiko!" Mrs. Nishikata, who loved her daughter so much, ignored the weird atmosphere and rushed towards the sofa. Jingu looked at everything indifferently.

The lights came on again, only a little dimly, and Nishikata and her daughter passed out while sitting on the sofa.

"Come out, since you have knocked them both out." Shengong sat down.

"You guys are really unprofessional this time. Don't you know how to avoid it?"

Dark shadows emerge from the black and white photo, forming the outline of a person who looks somewhat like the man in the photo.

"Hello, unknown Onmyoji, I am Sarata Nishikata, the male master of this family." The humanoid outline said.

"No, you're not." Jingu shook his head.

"Lying is a bit bad. You are covered in filth. Do you still want to pretend to be an earthbound spirit?"

"I've been discovered again. I didn't expect that although I look so small, I'm no worse than those old fritters."

Black shadows hide in the darkness, while Jingu stands under the light, with the fainted Nishikata mother and daughter in the middle.

"Now let us talk to you, my lord."

Chapter 8 Replacing Life

"Oh my, my God, I have carefully prepared the character of an infatuated man who is attached to his family and refuses to leave."

Black Shadow reluctantly handed over his ID to prove his position to the shrine.

"It's boring, so what, do you still want to pester these mother and daughter?"

The shrine took a look and found that this black shadow was a "shadow ghost", a kind of demon that likes to replace other people's lives. It is also the so-called "double". It can be said to be full of malice towards humans, but it can prove that it is not Harm people's lives.

Is it because the people replaced are all dead?

"Isn't this a good thing, my lord?" Shadow Ghost said eloquently:

"A wife loses her husband, and a daughter loses her father. It must be a good thing if the soul of the dead person turns into a ghost to accompany them, right?"

"The wife will no longer shed tears, and the children will no longer lack the company of their father."

"And you won't lack the sense of satisfaction. Pretending to be a dead person can make you happy at the same time, right?"

Jingu interrupted the shadow ghost's words. It avoided killing by pretending to be a dead person, parasitized in this family, and absorbed the mother and daughter to grow.

"Your Excellency, you think too bad of me. Although it is the nature of monsters like me to cheat and act, this is a mutually beneficial symbiosis. Monsters and people each get what they need, which is a good thing."

"The way you talk is disgusting." Shengong frowned in disgust. No matter how nice it was, the starting point must be to satisfy his instinct of deception.

"A gentleman's opinions are based on his deeds but not his heart, isn't he?"

This shadow ghost seemed to have read a lot of books, and frankly admitted that his starting point was not good.

"So, sir, what do you think?" The shadow ghost appeared from the darkness, like a standing shadow.

"As long as you are willing to cooperate with me in a performance later, they will be convinced of my identity, and I will no longer need to pretend to be a ghost."

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to. I can leave now."

That's right, according to what Sogaai and the others said about the human-male consensus, there is no reason for the Shrine to remove this one.

It has not harmed anyone's life, and its actions can even be regarded as a model among monsters. If the situation it envisions is true, humans will not be afraid, and it will be able to obtain food for its own survival.

This can be said to be the best solution that can be achieved under this weird human-monster balance.

As for whether it is true or not, what does it matter whether the dead Mr. Nishikata cared about being replaced?

The souls of the living will be relieved, and that is enough.

Jingu glanced at the unconscious mother and daughter. The child instinctively leaned into her mother's arms, while Mrs. Nishikata still frowned even though she was asleep.

She must have suffered a lot after her husband's death. If Shadow Ghost had deceived her, she might have been much more relaxed.

But what does this have to do with the shrine?

In the stunned expression of Shadow Ghost, Shengong took back his hand indifferently.

"Why? You..."

"You disgust me so much. I endured my nausea and talked to you for so long. I just wanted to see what you wanted to do, but I didn't expect it to be so disgusting."

Jingu doesn't care whether what it does is correct or not, and whether it conforms to the so-called consensus.

, the so-called rules.

If Jingu was just an onmyoji, he would think this was reasonable; if Jingu was still an ordinary person before time travel, he would think this is an acceptable situation.

But now the shrine is a god, a [Dragon Lord], and all he abides by is his own preferences and principles. As for consensus?

Nothing to do with him.

Perhaps this shadow ghost's humble and restrained nature in order to survive is pitiful. Perhaps Nishikata mother and daughter will have many difficulties in their future lives.

But that doesn't matter. For Jingu, there is only whether you like it or not, there is no right or wrong.

He didn't like this kind of deception, and he found this kind of drama very disgusting. When he imagined the girl calling a disguised monster as daddy, he felt so disgusted that he wanted to vomit.

So even if this is a so-called good choice for everyone, Jingu will not do it.
