[Comprehensive] The world is being reset

Chapter 174 Visitor at night

It's past dawn, and under the eaves of Tang's broken wind-style house, the vermilion lanterns are swaying by the night wind.The ghosts that are only active at night hide and whisper in the darkness, and the night air mixed with the miscellaneous ghostly air looks like a thick and dense fog.Walking along the way, only the atmosphere around this house is much cleaner, and the hazy light cast in front of the ink-painted gate dispels the darkness.

Before tonight, she didn't have this feeling when she was an ordinary human being.But now that he has changed the angle and looked at the Heian capital at night with the eyes of a monster, he has a real understanding of the owner of the house in front of him.The demonic aura pervading the streets and alleys of Heianjing involuntarily subdues when it gets close, like a beast in the dark, crawling down its head in this direction.The only lit courtyard in this nearby street is the eye of Heian-kyo, suppressing like Mount Tarzan all the darkness and turmoil that hides within.

Sure enough, he is not a simple person, the Mr. Seimei Abe I met today.

Such thoughts flashed through her mind, the woman stood at the gate of the house, hiding behind the eyes of unknown things in the darkness, reached out and knocked on the gate of the house.

Regular and rhythmic footsteps came through the door, and after a while, the door was opened, revealing a beautiful woman's face behind the door.

The beauty was wearing a gorgeous twelfth single, with her white and slender wrist protruding from the wide and complicated cuff, and she was carrying an ancient lantern. She lowered her eyes slightly and asked gently.

"Are you here to visit Ji Jun?"

"Yes."

"Then, please wait a moment."

Saying this, she turned around and left, as if she was going back to inform the owner of the house that a visitor was coming.The gate of the yard was opened like this, and through the door frame, one could see the lush daylilies growing in the yard and the night dew dotted under the moonlight.

There was a moment of restlessness in the darkness behind the woman, and her eyes were staring at that direction.However, after a few seconds, the restlessness with vigilance and fear subsided unwillingly.

The woman quietly waited at the door with her eyes lowered, as if she didn't notice the movement behind her.

In the tea room near the courtyard, the owner of the house and the little girl with long silver hair were sitting opposite each other and playing chess.

Sawada Ya pinched a white chess piece with her petite fingers, looked at the chessboard in thought for a few seconds, then put down the chess piece and raised her head.

"Qingming, is it time for me to practice the pipa?"

Abe Seimei, who was in the dark opposite, smiled softly, "Didn't Ji Jun agree to accompany me to finish this game of chess before going?"

"But I've already lost."

"No."

"No?"

"Ji Jun, look here." Abe Qingming stretched his sleeves with one hand, and tapped the chessboard with his clean and slender fingers, "If you make a move here, Ji Jun can turn the game over."

"Huh?" Sawada Ya looked in the direction of Seimei's finger, blinked her eyes, and fell into deep thought.

In the room, the shikigami who was sitting quietly cooking tea looked up at the little loli who was surrounded by the onmyoji again, and couldn't help but let out a "puchi" smile that couldn't stop flowing from her lips.

Loli Zetian, who was seriously thinking about the chess game, didn't notice it, but the big onmyoji sitting opposite her noticed the movement, her thin lips hooked slightly, she turned her face sideways, and gestured "shh" with her slender fingers standing on her lips " gesture.

Honey Bug hurriedly covered her mouth and nodded earnestly, her smile was hidden behind the complicated sleeves of Twelve Singles, but her exposed eyes were bent into crescent moons.

No matter how you look at it, it's so cute, Ji-jun.

At this time, Shikigami who had gone to answer the door before came to the door of the tea room and knocked lightly on the door.

"Master Qingming, Ji Jun."

Sawada Ya's train of thought was interrupted, and she cast her gaze suspiciously.

"Today, the woman Hime-kun met on the Kamogawa Bridge came to visit."

Sawada Ya blinked, "Huh?"

The woman in front of Abe's house stood in the night wind for a few minutes, her gaze lowered down on the mossy stone steps at the door, the blood on her fair and small cheeks had been wiped off, she was dressed in light-colored The Tang clothes almost fell to the ground, and the hem of the clothes was blown up by the wind coming through the street.She still looked so delicate and frail, and the long black hair falling along the side of her fair face was like a thin silk ribbon.

The sound of "da da da" footsteps came from the bluestone walkway inside the gate, like a lively wind blowing towards the face, the woman's slender eyelashes moved and lifted slightly.As soon as I saw it, I saw a little girl with long silver hair and a red dress running out of the yard, jumping towards me like a ball of warm sunshine.

"It's you." Little Loli blinked her eyes, raised her head and gave her a lovely smile.

"Ji Jun." The woman's lips curled up slightly, and there was a little warmth in her eyes, "I'm here to say goodbye to Ji Jun."

"Hey, are you going home?"

"Family..." The woman paused slightly, her light-colored lips hooked upwards, "That's right."

She looked at the little girl in front of her who was a little dazed because of her words, pursed her lips delicately, and explained with a smile, "My hometown is Yuanjiang Country. Originally, I came to Beijing to find Mr. Come on, I should go too."

"... Fujiwara Yasunori?"

"Yes. Mr. Fujiwara Yasufan is the governor of Yuanjiang Country. Before he was transferred back to the capital four years ago, I have been her lover."

The little girl with long silver hair raised her head, showing an expression of listening carefully, and the woman lowered her eyes slightly and began to tell her story, "Master Kang Fan and I have sworn each other forever, and we agreed to send someone to arrest me as soon as he is transferred back to the capital. Pick it up. I have been waiting for him in my hometown. The maple leaves in Yuanjiang country are red for four seasons, and the cherry blossoms are blooming and withering four times. I still haven’t waited for someone to pick me up. Even Mr. Kang Fan’s letters are getting more and more Less and less, until two years ago there was none."

"I heard that she has a new lover in Beijing, so she probably forgot about me." The woman said this with a calm expression, and even a gentle smile in her eyes, "After I heard the news So I decided to go to Beijing to look for him, at least to confirm Mr. Kang Fan's mind face to face, that's what I think."

"So in the spring of the fourth year, I left the village and came to the capital alone. However, I fell ill on the way, and my meager travel expenses were exhausted. I tried to send a letter to Lord Kang Fan while I was lingering in the sick bed, and then, I received a response. Lord Kang Fan invited me to meet on the Kamogawa Bridge."

"I was so happy at that time. I thought Mr. Kang Fan had changed his mind. So I dragged my sick body to Kamogawa Bridge to wait for him."

"Actually, I also thought about it. What if Mr. Kang Fan asked me out just to make a break? What if he just wanted to drive me back?" The woman was still smiling, soft and gentle, like spring water in April On the softly drooping willow branches.However, in her crescent-like pupils, the black pupils were like a black hole that could not penetrate any light. Her voice was light and ethereal, covered with thick night air, floating in the air without moving up or down.She said softly in such a calm and unwavering tone that had suppressed many outbursts, "However, I never thought that my Lord Kang Fan, he invited me out alone, and wanted to kill me Yes."

Having said this, she paused for a moment, and her eyes fell on the little girl who was still quietly listening to her words.The woman's dark and dreamlike pupils finally revealed a bit of real sadness, "I'm sorry, Ji Jun, for disappointing you."

"You wanted to save me back then, but unfortunately I still couldn't suppress the anger in my heart."

She paused slightly, and said softly in a calm tone, "I killed Lord Kang Fan."

"I don't regret it. The only regret is that I have failed Ji Jun's kindness."

At this time, the little girl who had been listening to her quietly all this time finally spoke.

"Is that so." She frowned slightly between her small brows, showing a somewhat tangled expression, "Well, it's okay."

This reaction was obviously not what the woman expected, she was slightly stunned, "Ji Jun, you..."

"It's okay, in fact, I just want to give you a choice." Ze Tianya raised his head to look at her, his light purple eyes reflected the bright firelight under the eaves, and the end of his eyes slightly curved, "You chose a different choice?" It’s a good road to regret.”

In the tea room of Abe House, Abe Seimei looked at the chessboard in front of him for a while, "Honey bugs, put it away."

The beautiful shikigami in gorgeous twelve singles brought the brewed tea to Abe Seimei, and then looked back at the chessboard on the desk with the tray in both hands.

"No more?"

"It's getting late." Abe Seimei said seriously, "It's time for Ji Jun to go to bed."

Mi Chong rubbed her lips and laughed, "Ji Jun's pipa is actually very good, and the three Boya even praised it a while ago."

The Great Onmyoji held the teacup and was silent for two seconds, "Honey bug, even if Ji Jun just plucks the strings twice, Boya will say that he played it very well."

Shikigami brushed his lips with one hand and blinked, looking at him innocently.

"Speaking of which, the experience of the woman who came to the door tonight is truly deplorable." Honey Bug began to tidy up the chessboard, and changed the subject as if nothing had happened.

Abe Seimei closed his eyes and took a sip of tea, looking at the black and white pieces on the chessboard that had not been completely put away, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Ji Jun wanted to help her, but now it seems that the woman has become a monster."

Speaking of this, she paused with the hand holding the chess box, and looked at the great onmyoji who was sitting quietly with her bright eyes, "Master Qingming, is this the reason why you have been avoiding Ji Jun's questions?"

There was a smile on Abe Seimei's lips, and he turned his head slightly to look at the night sky covered by clouds and mist outside the door, "No."

"Eh?" Honey Bug stopped picking up the chess pieces.

"You want to ask if Ji Jun knows in advance that the woman will still become a monster with her reminder, will she stay and protect her until she gets through this catastrophe?"

Honey Bug nodded.

Looking at the night sky outside the door, the Great Onmyoji's voice was so low that it was almost a shallow sigh, "But Ji Jun doesn't think this is a catastrophe."

Honey Bug opened her eyes slightly, showing obvious surprise, "...how come?"

"Focus on life itself and the standpoint of being a human being. This is what Boya cares about. But Ji Jun never cared about these issues."

Shikigami was a little dazed, she thought back to the little loli she knew, she was obviously sunny and kind and loved life very much.She hesitated and asked, "Then what does Jun Ji care about?"

This time, Abe Seimei just looked at her and smiled, without giving any further answers.
