Chapter 20
"This is the place."
Night Fight lifted his chin and glanced at the empty space in front of him. "After Wavy Leaf died, the Knife Spirits went crazy and disappeared along with this Pill. There's nothing left here. Other than me, that kid named Natsume next door, and my previous Divine Weapon, I don't think anyone remembers us."
"Natsume?" Ghost Lantern suddenly asked.
"Ah, a human child with strong spiritual power. You know her?"
"I do know a Natsume with strong spiritual power, but I'm not sure if she's the one you're talking about. Her name is Reiko Natame, and she's a very outstanding jailer."
Ghost Lantern had seen Reiko Natame from Unison Hell before. Other than himself, she was the second jailer who could wield a mace so beautifully, so she left a deep impression on him.
"Do you know my grandmother?"
Just as Night Fight and Ghost Lantern were exchanging information, a gentle and pleasant male voice suddenly sounded behind them. They turned around and saw a middle-aged man with a fat cat hanging on his shoulder pushing a bicycle towards them.
"You look strangely familiar."
Ghost Lantern pinched his chin and compared this man's appearance with Reiko Natame's in his mind. "You do look alike. Are you Lingzi's surviving grandson?"
"Yes, my name is Natsume Takizhi. I'm sorry, I heard my grandmother's name, so I was a little distracted and interrupted your conversation."
The man first apologized, then asked, "But I'd like to ask, you mentioned jailers just now … Are you guys from Hell?"
Ghost Lantern didn't immediately answer the man's question. Instead, he stared at him for a while. Seeing that he had strong spiritual power and the cat hanging on his shoulder seemed to be a powerful fellow … Ghost Lantern was too busy with work and didn't have time to accompany his daughter. Recently, whenever he saw a capable person, he wanted to bring him to Hell.
Reiko Natame was so capable, so his grandson should be good as well, right?
This person looked gentle and refined. He should be good as a clerk. There were many powerful prison guards in Hell, but not many of them had brains.
For a human to be able to tame a Great Demon, this Natsume Gui Zhi was probably not a simple person.
Thinking of this, Ghost Lantern's desire to subdue Natsume increased.
"I'm the assistant of the King Of Hell, Ghost Lantern. Lingzi is now working in the Union Mass Hell. She's a very outstanding jailer."
"Is that so? Grandma in Hell is still so outstanding?"
"May I ask how old you are this year?"
"As for me, I'm 45 years old this year."
"Forty-five?
Very good, he's about to die. "
The Ghost Lantern lowered its voice, but it was still heard by the master and servant.
As Natsume grew older, the Cat, who was more sensitive to such matters, immediately exploded, "Hey!
What nonsense are you talking about?
Natsume's body is very healthy!
She can live for many more forty-fives! "
The Ghost Lantern was very tolerant of small animals, and he was still thinking of making this small animal work for him, so his attitude became even gentler.
He walked a few steps forward, squatted down, and quickly rolled the Cat, who jumped between Natsume and him, into a pancake. "I know what you're worried about. Don't be afraid, little Cat."
Then he looked up at Natsume and said, "What I want to ask is, are you willing to become a glorious prison guard after death, just like your grandmother?"
"Of course, if you want to take your companions with you, that's also possible. Do you know Momotaro?
He's in this situation, and his three companions are now very outstanding prison guards in Hell. "
"You can think about it. If you can't make up your mind, you can experience Hell for a while first."
The Ghost Lantern thought that he had thrown out a very tempting offer. Seeing Natsume's expression change, he knew that he had almost won over this talent.
He seemed to have a very good relationship with this big demon, and this big demon was also very concerned about his short lifespan as a human. However, if he became a prison guard, a ghost's lifespan was very long, and they could stick together until they got tired of each other.
"I'm sorry, I can't make up my mind on this kind of thing at once. I need to think about it more. Can you give me your contact information?"
"This is my business card."
Natsume solemnly took the business card from the Ghost Lantern. The moment her hands touched the business card, she suddenly had an epiphany and turned her head to look at Night Fight, who was behind the Ghost Lantern, and the little girl, who was squatting beside the Ghost Lantern and stroking the cat with him.
"You guys …"
Very familiar, very familiar. He shouldn't have forgotten. These two people are …
"Lord, Night Fight?!
Then, this is … "
Natsume couldn't say the name, but the girl's blonde hair, blue eyes, and slightly familiar face made him dare not deny it.
This child really looked like his childhood friend, Wavy Leaf.
"You finally remember me, Natsume. I thought you were different."
Although ordinary people often forgot about gods, Natsume had a huge amount of spiritual power, and was different from ordinary people. For someone like him, if he received some faith, he might be able to turn into a god.
However, the moment Ye Dou saw the Great Demon beside him, he knew that it was impossible for this guy to become a human god.
Natsume looked at Night Fight with a complicated expression. He was standing there casually with his arms crossed, just like that afternoon many years ago, when he also stood in This Pill and comforted the group of crazy death gods. He seemed to be doing it casually, but his knuckles were white from pinching himself too hard.
Natsume looked at the little girl who seemed to be Wavy Leaf.
His friend was really a mysterious existence. No one could resist her smile, and it seemed that anyone who came into contact with her could become her friend. She was like a little sun. Even those who lived in the dark and couldn't touch her would want to take a look at her.
This was what Natsume had always thought. After seeing the Ghost Lantern's gaze on the little girl, he was even more certain of this idea.
However, Ghost Lantern had been holding her hand all this time. Was she one of the prison guards now?
Perhaps it was because she was just an undead now that she looked so young and immature?
"Wave Wind?"
Ye Zifeng raised her head. After being yelled at by Ye Dou's so-called 'fight poison with poison' for several days, she didn't feel anything when she heard this word again. She could even immediately realize that Ye Dou was calling her.
"The Natsume you mentioned just now, is it her?"
Ghost Lantern pressed his hand on Leaf's head and turned to look at Night Fight.
Night Fight blinked, then nodded, "Yes, Leaf's friend, Natsume."
"You mean Wavy Leaf?
This cub? "
Cat, who had been comfortably being stroked, suddenly jumped up. After glancing at Natsume, she circled around Leaf and sniffed, "This is obviously the cub of a monster. She has such a strong monster aura. When she grows up, she might even become a famous monster."
Ghost Lantern's eyes lit up at Cat's words. He was so happy that he decided to arrange a good job for Cat in the future.
"If you don't mind, why don't you come to my house and have a chat?"
However, when Cat said this, Natsume felt that her brain was in a mess. She invited everyone into the house and sat down to talk.
"My family's elders have gone on a trip recently. Currently, only Cat and I are at home."
Natsume prepared tea and snacks. When she saw that the girl was very interested in the plate of Nagasaki cake, she began to equate the girl with Wavy Leaf in her heart. She then got up and got a bottle of milk for the girl. The girl took a sip, and a very happy expression appeared on her face.
It was almost the same expression as Wave Wind's when she was young.
"Can you tell me about those Gods of Death?"
After taking a bite of the cake, Leaf wiped her mouth and spoke for the first time since she came here.
"Although there's a big possibility that I'm the Wavy Leaf you're talking about, I'm now a goldfish grass spirit." She shook the big Leaf in her hand, "I don't remember anything from the past."
"You don't remember?"
"Yes, but there's also that feeling. It's the feeling of forgetting something very important. Every time I try to remember, my head hurts.
When Night Fight called out Wavy Leaf's name for the first time, there was also a feeling in his head that wanted to break free, but in the end, he couldn't remember anything. "
"Is that so …"
Natsume unconsciously reached out to touch his head, but her brows were furrowed, "If that's the case, I might know something."
"After Wave Wind died, although her heartbeat and breathing stopped, the spiritual energy in her body never dissipated, and her body never rotted …"
"I saw them bury Leaf with my own eyes!
They dug her out again???! "
Ye Dou jumped up from his seat. His eyes, which were already big enough, widened even more.
Ghost Lantern crushed the teacup in his hand and stared coldly at Natsume, waiting for his explanation.
Natsume shook her head, sighed, and said, "After you left, they planned to bury themselves in Wave Wind's grave. But when they opened it, they found something wrong, so they didn't bury them."
"After that, I visited a few more times. Wave Wind's body really looked like it was just sleeping. That's why they didn't believe that she was dead. They believed that as long as they kept guarding her, she would wake up one day."
"Now I see you."
He looked at the girl gently, "I suspect that Wave Wind's body might not be dead, but there was a very special situation that caused her soul to separate from her body. Her soul was coincidentally attached to a goldfish plant, and her body is still waiting for her soul to return. Wave Wind's memories are also preserved in her body."
Natsume's explanation was a bit unbelievable, but combined with the current situation, it was very likely an answer that was very close to the truth.
"What happened after that? Where did This Pill go?"
Ghost Lantern felt that Natsume's hands were a bit of an eyesore, so he took the little goldfish plant into his arms.
In short, no matter what the result was, from the first time he saw this child, she was his.
After Leaf sat in Ghost Lantern's arms, she affectionately held two of his fingers and rubbed her face against his chest. She looked very dependent on him.
Ghost Lantern felt a little better.
"Then, This Pill suddenly disappeared, about half a year after the accident."
"Excuse me, is anyone home?"
During the conversation, a shout suddenly came from Natsume's door. Night Fight, who had been standing and hadn't sat down, heard the sound. His expression changed, and he ran out of the door.
"I'll open the door."
It was a man and a woman who came.
"This is my artifact, Xueyin, and this is Riwa, my … ahem, my partner."
"Sorry to disturb you." Riwa's face was a bit red, but he still accepted the title.
Xueyin pouted. After glancing at Night Fight a few times, she said, "Night Fight, why did you eat so much after going to Hell? You look so ugly. Do you want to go to the house next door to do an exorcism or something and lose weight?"
"The house next door?"
Leaf immediately grasped the main point in Xueyin's words.
"Yeah, it looks eerie …"
