Chapter 453 I Hate You But I Can't Kill You
Orochi's people are running around in the streets of Huadu...the ones over there are probably Kaido's men.The six sons of Ling Xiao... What the hell happened, why is everyone so nervous?
Chris came out of the house and searched for the Wuguitang family for a long time, but he couldn't find anyone, but he watched a lot of excitement.For example, the people of Orochi seem to be looking for someone, rummaging through boxes and cabinets everywhere.Kaido's men are also looking for it, and they have turned up many people's stalls.It's really bad, who are they arresting?
"Master Exorcist? Is it Master Exorcist of Miko Shiba's family?"
Chris was still looking at the back of the six sons of Ling Xiao who had just run past, when he heard someone calling himself from the teahouse next to him.He turned his head and found that some residents of Huadu gathered together to greet him.Chris walked over: "Well, what's the matter, everyone?"
"That's great, you're really an exorcist!" One of the leading middle-aged men seemed to be the owner of a teahouse, and he said happily, "Actually, we've heard some bad rumors recently, and we want to tell you Lord Exorcist, ask for proof."
Bad news...?Probably because there have been too many activities recently.The originally 'calm' Huadu has also become chaotic, which makes people who live here who think they can escape reality start to panic.
"We heard that the recent Mika or something was transformed from a monster, so it was popular. Is that the case? Master Exorcist?"
It really is an outrageous rumor... Chris shook his head, and he said: "As far as I know, Miss Summer is an ordinary human being. She doesn't know any magic arts, and people like her simply because of her singing and music. It's a good show."
"Is that so? But there are always people who are crazy..."
"Miss Summer is from overseas and is not familiar with the situation here. Therefore, many people sell some things under her banner, everyone should be careful not to be deceived." Chris said very tactfully, "Of course, everyone Don’t worry either. If something like a monster really makes trouble, neither our Okoshiba family nor the Wuguitang family will sit idly by.”
"Ah... Lord Exorcist said so, we can rest assured." The owner of the teahouse smiled, and the people listening behind him were also discussing with each other, and many of them nodded in reassurance.
"Also, if you find a shrine nearby, please tell us or help clean and worship... This will also effectively prevent demons from making trouble." The shrines that are worshiped by people will be inhabited by gods, so that the barrier will be stable.Even if there is only Huadu, a little action can slowly take effect.Chris said, "Is there anything else you're worried about?"
"Well... there is indeed one more thing I want to say." The owner of the teahouse looked a little embarrassed. He looked back at the people who joined in the fun behind him. They all nodded at him, and then he continued to say to Chris, "Actually, we I heard... a plague is raging in the wilderness..."
"Plague?" This is the first time I've heard of it.Chris said, "What exactly is the situation?"
"Although, we have never been outside Huadu, but I heard from people who work here during the day that many people have died in the nearby Jianlou Village..." The owner of the teahouse lowered his voice, and said, "Of course, It is not uncommon for people to die in Jianlou Village, but some people say that everyone's death is very painful, and it does not seem to be a normal way of death."
Never heard of such a thing, but it seems necessary to investigate.Demons can also cause plagues, not to mention that in places like the wilderness, it is not surprising that demons come out.If they caused a large-scale plague... Chris thought for a while, and he said: "I see. My family will be responsible for investigating and handling this matter. Please stay safe, but don't panic too much."
"Master Exorcist is really reliable!" The owner of the teahouse laughed again. He said, "You are so young and easy to talk to! It's not like the other family, who always carry a knife and we dare not approach him!"
No, I... I'm not a good person... I wanted to say that, but Chris immediately saw the trusting and expectant eyes from the people around him, so he didn't say it.
When I was overseas, people were not so... not so 'superstitious' as people in Wano country.Many people don't take exorcists and the like seriously at all, but when they work for nobles, people will respect themselves as nobles, but they rarely feel such trust and expectations.
This is the mother's hometown, and maybe the origin of the exorcist, so is it like this?
Chris was born overseas, and his appearance, personality, and education and culture are far from those of Wano Country.But now, he also wants to save this place, whether it is founding the country or defeating Kaido, if he can help a little... At least, many people here just want to live in peace.
"Please leave it to me." Chris finally assured people, and then turned to leave.In short, first complete the task my mother gave me... It would be great if I could feel the fluctuation of magic power like my mother or uncle.Chris only feels a little when the distance is very close, and of course he has no clue now...
"Ah!" Found it!That's Mr. 99 over there... right?As soon as Chris looked up, he saw 99 standing next to a small shrine as if offering something, and he walked over immediately, "That... 99?"
"Mr. Chris?" 99 said, a little surprised to see Chris, "Are you going out? Or... ah! Sorry. Are you here to clean the shrine? I happened to see this, so I used some Things were offered as tribute."
Chris looked at an orange that had been carefully placed on the wooden shrine and had been cleaned.He said, "No... Actually, I'm here to find you."
"Looking for me?" 99 became even more surprised, he didn't think Chris would have anything to do with him.And he remembered what Sabo had said to him, that Chris was Youxiang's ex-boyfriend... always felt a little awkward when facing Chris.
"Mother said you might need help, so I came here with a charm. But it seems all right?" Chris didn't notice 99's embarrassment, he said.
"Mrs. Yulian may be talking about the elder sister's side." 99 understood, it must be Mrs. Yulian who also felt something strange.He said, "It's okay, I can feel the smell weakening...I mean, the barrier has stabilized a little bit now. My sis should have succeeded."
That's why... I was still late.It's fine.Chris felt relieved and said, "Mr. 99's magic power is also very strong."
"Huh? Me? Actually, it's okay..." It's mainly inherited from my mother... 99 said, "It's just that I can smell the devil's smell and feel the condition of the barrier. I can't help it with Mrs. Yulian Than."
"...I don't have any magic power at all." Chris smiled bitterly, and he said, "It's like an ordinary person. I came here to help, but I couldn't find anything after searching for a long time."
"It's something that can't be helped, so don't worry too much about it." 99 also laughed, and he said, "The lineage of exorcists is declining, and it's the same everywhere... Besides, I don't think this is a bad thing. After all … Dealing with demons is not easy."
"But someone has to do it, right?"
"Well... Is it really necessary to have an exorcist... I'm not sure." 99 lowered his eyes slightly, and he said, "It will take a huge price to take on this responsibility. If there is no such thing, human beings should also It won't be extinct because of it. I don't think it's worth everyone's whole life."
"..." 99's thoughts...somewhat unexpected.He should be the heir in line of the Five Ghost Hall family, I thought he would have similar ideas to my own...
Chris wants to take on this responsibility.He felt that... if he didn't do it, no one else would.
"Sorry, did I say something worthless?" Seeing that Chris was silent, 99 continued, "Don't worry about me... this is just my personal opinion. By the way, does Chris want to see my sister? ? I'll take you there."
"No, no, it doesn't matter if I don't go now. However, there is one thing that I think Miss Shengzi would like to know." Chris immediately repeated what he had just heard about the plague in the teahouse, "Although it is What happened in the wilderness, but since it has already spread to Huadu, it means that the distance is quite close."
"Plague..." may indeed have something to do with demons.In the wilderness again, it might be tricky. 99 became serious, he said, "I see, I will tell my lord sister."
"Ah. Mikoshiba's family should also start an investigation. I don't think Mother will refuse to cooperate." Chris smiled again when he said this, "Should I tell Youxiang as well?"
Ah I brought it up! !I thought he wouldn't mention it... Youxiang... 99 was startled, and he said in a panic: "Well, although...Miss Youxiang's magic power is very strong, but it doesn't have much to do with her. I don't want it. It's better to trouble her."
"That's right," Chris said, lowering his eyes. "I might just want to have a word with her...she's always avoiding me."
Isn't this a matter of course? Do you need any special reason to avoid your ex-boyfriend? ? 99 didn't know why she panicked even more, maybe it was because she felt extremely embarrassed: "Either, or Chris should go and talk to her... talk about it? After all, many of her companions are also operating in the wilderness, if it is affected Not good."
"But, I think she doesn't want to see me..."
"This... If you don't go here, no one will know! Well, I think... Chris-kun should be a little confident!"
"... Even if she doesn't know what to say, Ace and Sabo look at me every time as if they want to kill me."
"The two of them look the same to anyone approaching Miss Youxiang?" Sometimes they would look at me with particularly sharp eyes... 99 said, "Don't worry about it, Mr. Chris, I think they are not unreasonable." Oh?"
"They never reasoned with me..." was full of malice towards me.Chris lowered his head, and he said, "Forget it, forget it... Please tell her about this, 99. Thank you for comforting me, but I... I still forget it!"
"If Chris said that..." 99 had no objection, he said, "I see. Let's go together, Chris!"
"Ah?? No, no, no... I really don't plan to go!! There's that Trafalgar or something, by the way, there's an extra Eustace recently...every one of them treats me The hostility is too great!!"
"Think of it this way, Mr. Chris. Those are big pirates with a bounty of over [-] million, and some of them are big men who have been in Shichibukai. They all hate you so much and can't kill you. Shouldn't you be proud? ?”
"It's clear that you got into trouble, why are you so proud!!"
"It's okay, I will protect you! Come on! Let's go! Don't lose to your heart!!"
"I think you just want to watch the excitement, but I have no evidence..."
