I, Hikigu, are contained by the evil god

"You guys, do you have any crimes?" Hikigu asked hesitantly, "Who convicted you?"

"Yes, sin..." Fangcun Gongshan sighed, "The so-called heinous sin that has been borne by the ghouls for thousands of years, and will be carried forever, and the one who condemns us is God."

He continued: "...You must not know that ghouls were not ghouls in the first place, right?"

"It's not a ghoul?" Bi Qigu's heart tightened, realizing that he seemed to have heard something extraordinary, "If it's not a ghoul, what could it be?"

The origin of the ghouls has always been a mystery. They suddenly appeared and stood in Bali, and gradually spread their footprints all over the world.

They are the products of the mysterious world just like other non-human races. For these non-human races, the conclusion of the association is that they are all descendants of some ghosts, because they have been integrated into the human world for too long and have reproduced too many times. As a result, they lost their weird features and became a humanoid race.

... Hikigu thought so too.

But when the old man said that, there was no reason, Hikigu remembered the content of the mural...

Then I heard the old man say with a sad face: "The ghouls were originally human beings through and through."

boom! ! !

Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, there was a thunderbolt on the ground, and Hikigu's heart was rumbling, and his brain went blank for a short moment when he received the information.

Ghouls, are they humans?

These words are as absurd as if someone told Bi Qigu that jackals and humans are actually a family... This is not Darwin, nor is it the theory of evolution, and it is not even very secretive.

How can a non-human race, a race that feeds on human corpses, be the same as humans?

Fangcun Gongshan probably guessed how shocked Bi Qigu was, but he continued to talk, leaving no time for Bi Qigu to buffer,

He just nodded to Bi Qigu,

"Yes, human."

"The original ancestor of the ghoul was an aboriginal resident of Bali, a human wizard named Layak."

"Although he is very powerful, has great strength, and is a senior wizard in the mysterious world...but he is indeed a human, a pure-bred human."

"Leyak is a very powerful wizard. He enshrined three gods, Beelzebub the Fly Lord, Vaisaca the Essence Eater, and Famine the Knight of the Apocalypse. He used special rituals to gather the power of the three gods into a trinity. , bless yourself."

The old man told a story that was not quite the same as Hikigaya's deduction and imagination.

"However, worshiping gods is not a bad thing, but people who worship completely different or even conflicting gods at the same time will not be blessed by the gods... and Leyak's ungodly behavior of forcibly merging the power of the three gods into one, It directly offended the gods."

"This is Layak's first sin... In the era when the gods existed and the power of the gods occasionally appeared, this blasphemous sin caused him to be punished by the gods."

"Lyak has transformed from a human into a ghostly form. It appears as a normal person during the day, but at night it transforms into a terrifying demon with a head full of razor-sharp fangs and slit eyes. He No longer able to eat human food, they can only feed on corpses in cemeteries, and occasionally hunt pregnant women and children to suck their blood."

"This..." Bi Qigu didn't know what to say.

He seems to have prayed to all the gods... For example, before a very important exam, he would ask Wenchang Emperor, Confucius, God, Jade Emperor, Sanqing, Buddha, Amaterasu God, etc. to all imaginable gods All Buddhas, Immortals, Demons, Ghosts and Gods prayed once.

It turns out... can't it?

Bi Qigu scratched his head, feeling inexplicably afraid.

However, this is only the beginning of the story, and what really shocked Biqigu is yet to come.

"If that's all it is, it's nothing...he's just a monster, but not a ghoul; although he's guilty, he won't be able to carry on this crime to this day."

The old man's voice was deep and his face was heavy and serious, as if he was telling a heavy and unknown true epic - and in fact it was exactly like that.

"Laiak was not content with his appearance of being neither human nor ghost, so he traveled all over Bali in a crazy way and went overseas unwillingly. After going there for 30 years, no one knew where he went, and no one Know what he's been through over the years."

"Thirty years later, he returned to Bali with his four children aged three or four—God knows who would be willing to give birth to such a monster, maybe it was cheating by pretending to be a normal person during the day ignorant girl."

"Those four children were cute. They were completely different from Layak. They were completely human... Obviously, God's wrath and curse did not continue to his descendants. This is probably God's mercy."

"What Layak brought back to Bali was not only 4 children, but also a lot of terrible containment objects, and even a lot of strange and dangerous knowledge, which is definitely not information in a taboo area that humans can touch, just a few words That's enough to drive you crazy."

"Because of his cursed physique, Leak was able to get in touch with that knowledge and not go crazy or even die, but there is no doubt that his brain was affected. As the study progressed, his mental state became more and more wrong. Dangerous knowledge is tempting him to do crazy things."

"Five years later, Lejak arranged a ceremony, an incredible and whimsical one."

"No one knows whether the ritual was his invention or an improvement on those knowledge, or whether it was a terrible ritual he found out at sea... In short, he is in Bali, in his secret hidden in the mountains. At home, this shocking ceremony was arranged."

Speaking of it until now, the old man's face has a look of disbelief and shock.

"Ritual? What ceremony?"

Bi Qigu's spirit lifted, he knew the important point was coming.

Just like he once speculated that maybe the ghouls wanted to turn all human beings into ghouls, the ghouls were probably holding some kind of ceremony, and now, the old man mentioned the ceremony—he finally mentioned the idea of ​​Hikigu listening content,

The old man said heavily: "Leyak called that ceremony...Six Paths!"

Liudao... Hikigu didn't understand, and waited for the old man to continue talking with puzzled eyes.

"The containment items Leyak found included high-level containment items related to the Three Gods."

"The way of heaven and man, the way of humanity, the way of animals, the way of Asura, the way of hungry ghosts, and the way of hell, these are the six realms arranged in order from top to bottom."

The old man said, "The one corresponding to the famine knight of the apocalypse can be the way of Asura who holds the right position but kills with kindness, and the one corresponding to the spirit-eating ghost Visaga can be the way of hungry ghosts, and the way of the great demon king of hell." Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies, corresponds to the realm of hell, while Layak himself corresponds to the realm of animals, and all humans in Bali correspond to the realm of humanity."

"—Although the level of the containment is already very high, it is still not high enough, so that the scope of the ceremony can only cover the entire Bali Island, but this does not matter, because for Leyak, he does not need a large coverage area at all .”

"Before continuing, the first three can be used to correspond to the corresponding three ways with corresponding storage objects and special rune marks."

"In this way, you only need to draw the squares that symbolize the position of the six realms from top to bottom, and then place the stored objects in different six realms in a disordered order. To be precise, they are deliberately placed one position behind the six realms themselves ..."

"That is, put the asura containment corresponding to the famine knight of the apocalypse in the position of the hungry ghost, and the storage of the hungry ghost corresponding to the spirit-eating ghost Visaca in the position of the hell, and place it with the great demon king of hell. The holding objects corresponding to Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies, are placed in the place of heaven and man."

"When the ritual is activated, the correcting power of fate and the world will allow the misplaced containment to return to its own path."

"Because the lower three realms are at the bottom of the six realms, and the six realms can circulate by themselves, so when these three are deliberately placed one step behind their own six realms, the correction force will automatically make them advance one space."

"In this way, the push of the lower three paths will form the inertial force of the entire six-path system, allowing the front three paths to also move forward by one space."

Yoshimura Kozen's voice was inexplicably weird and rarely surprised:

"That is to say, the result of the last ceremony will show such results: Leyak in the animal realm is pushed to the human realm and becomes human again; the humans in Bali are pushed to the heavenly realm, and all human beings become gods; and The heavenly beings in Bali, that is, the gods, will be pushed into the realm of hell."

"...This ceremony is generally very complicated, interspersed with various sophisticated algorithms and complicated conditions. I can only briefly talk about the easy-to-understand principle, which is probably the same thing... Let me say this, can you Do you understand what I just said about the ceremony?"

Bi Qigu blinked, nodded mechanically and stiffly, then shook his head hastily, shaking his head like a rattle.

"..."

In fact, Bi Qigu understood...it was because he understood that he was speechless.

After shocking Hachiman for a whole year, he was stunned.

What the hell is this guy?

"Wait, wait, wait...let me stroke it."

Hikigu waved his hands, his confused eyes and dull expression showed how complicated his mood was at this time,

He took a deep breath, hesitant to speak but stopped, stopped and then wanted to speak, and then he wanted to stop, deliberating his words for a long time, sorting out his thoughts for a long time.

"So, if my reading comprehension is correct."

"That Leyak's ritual can turn himself back into a human, turn a human into a god, and knock the god into hell...Is that so?"

In Hikigu's expression as if he had seen a ghost, Yoshimura Kozen nodded seriously to Hikigu,

"Exactly."

After a pause, the old man added,

"But the scope is Bali, the people are the people of Bali, and the gods are also the gods of Bali."

Bi Qigu pursed his lips in disbelief.

This Layak is really a tm genius.

"But...then what? Why didn't it work?"

Of course it was not successful, and if it was successful, there would be no such things as now, and there would be no ghouls.

The old man sighed,

"Such behavior is outright blasphemy, and Leyak's power comes directly from the three gods, so when the ceremony was about to start, the power in his body was out of control under the control of the three gods, and he lost his sanity ever since , the ceremony was forced to be suspended."

"Since then, the curse began to spread to his blood. His four children, three males and one female, had different weird organs growing on the shoulder blades, waist, tailbone, and shoulders respectively, that is, the first generation. Jiahe, Linhe, Weihe, Yuhe."

"From now on, these four people and their descendants look no different from ordinary people, but their eyes will turn black and red when they are emotional, and they can no longer eat anything that humans eat, they can only eat corpse."

"They became monsters."

"From then on, ghouls, that is, ghouls, began to appear in people's sight with the reproduction of these four people... We ghouls bear the sins of Leyak, the original ancestor, and have been atonement until now. , and I don’t know how long it will take to atone.”

"Live day and night, go in and out of the tomb, eat rotting corpses, get neither human nor ghost, and see the sun."

There was sadness in the old man's eyes, "Have you ever been puzzled why the ghouls who are your enemies are so fanatical, they are all willing to die, and all of them are fighting for the first place on the battlefield... as if there is some kind of Same belief?"

"Actually, the ghouls have never changed their long-cherished wish since those four ancestors thousands of years ago. There is only one long-cherished wish and belief of the ghouls."

"—I want my descendants to stand upright in the sun and breathe the air, I want my descendants to eat a mouthful of hot and delicious meals, and I want to think like a normal person... These are so simple that it is outrageous When things come together it’s actually, wanting to be human.”

"Want to become a human? What do you use to become? Take that ceremony?" Bi Qigu's voice raised.

Ghoul, want to become a human?This is a question that Hikigu has never thought about, but after he heard the story told by the old man, he seemed to understand that kind of mood, that kind of mentality of "only wanting to be a human being, not a ghoul".

"Yes, after thousands of years, the ghouls finally waited until the bloodline was so thin that the connection with the three gods was minimized, and they would no longer be restrained by the gods, and finally waited for an opportunity to collect all three contained objects."

"So, ghouls, I want to arrange that crazy ceremony again."

——It is such a ritual, not a demonic ritual that turns all human beings into ghouls, as Hikigu guessed.

On the contrary, it is a good ritual to turn all ghouls back into humans, and it is the wanderer's desire to return home!

"...But, this is too confusing!"

Hikigu suddenly stood up from his seat, the chair rattled, and he seemed a little agitated.

"You want to be human again, no one is stopping you, but why do you want to kill so many agents of the association?"

"You seem to be doing bad things. You are also researching how to transform humans into ghouls and hiding them secretly. You are desperate and fighting with your back... In the end, you told me that you just want to change back to humans?"

"If it is really like what you said, then this ceremony is not harmful to humans at all, and the association will not reject you at all."

Not only is there no harm, if the ritual comes true, as many ghouls will become humans, as many humans will become gods instantly... This is simply a great thing, okay?

Although I don't know where the ritual came from that can have such a powerful and invincible effect... But if that thing is true, the association not only cannot refuse, but must greatly support it!The contents have to be offered with both hands, right? !

As a result, Bi Qigu became more confused and puzzled.

No wonder he was excited, according to this logic, the sacrifice of the association's agents would be meaningless - Bi Qigu couldn't accept this.

"...However, that's not the case."

Fangcun Gongshan shook his head, signaling Bi Qigu to be calm and calm,

"That's why I brought you here."

Yoshimura Kozen walked out of the counter,

"Detective, Mr. Hikigaya."

"Whatever the price is, I'm willing to do it. In short..."

He solemnly bowed to Qigu,

——This vicissitudes of life, the sixtieth old man, suddenly bowed 90 degrees seriously, which shocked Bi Qigu

"I want you to stop the ghoul's ritual."

"Stop them... from dragging all human beings and all ghouls into hell."

"This……"

Hikigu stood on the spot silently, frowning as he watched the old man bow.

Fangcun Gongshan's request brought a bigger mystery, which climbed into Hikigu's heart.

……

Chapter 84 Request and See You Clown! (two in one)

"Old man, get up quickly..."

Bi Qigu took a few steps forward, helped Fangcun Gongshan up, his face looked a little serious, "Drag all human beings and all ghouls into hell... What's going on?"

Fangcun Gongshan stood up straight, his squinted cloudy eyes were lifeless, and his face was full of sorrow, "Some things, as a ghoul, I have no position to say, but I have to say it..."

Hikigu nodded seriously, and looked straight into the old man's eyes full of sincerity, "Just say it, I'm listening."
