After Qiuren left the living room, Lin Ye continued to sit for a while—anyway, there were enough exercises for Lu.

But after thinking about it, he still took out his mobile phone and called Yan Yongqinzi, telling her about the incident.

"... Seeing someone as principled as Lian Qiuren, I feel sorry that I didn't do it myself... It's not that I can't understand the proposition of that detective boy.

While lynchings can easily get out of control, there is no greater comfort to the families of those who died. "

"I don't deny that, I object because I'm worried about the other side.

Whether it's resentment or the pleasure of revenge, human beings will produce a lot of distorted emotions. If they cooperate with public opinion, it is easy to create some abnormal spirit bodies... It will be troublesome to solve them when the time comes. "

"In the final analysis, is it still the human heart that has been distorted and weird..."

After Lin Ye finished speaking, he fell silent, and it took a long time before he whispered pointedly: "Actually, there is one thing I don't understand."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

"Last night in the building, and this morning at the hospital... When we were talking about the case, you once said that we couldn't catch a 'ghost' who is neither human nor evil spirit in real life, so let's take him for now no way."

Lin Ye changed the topic: "But there is actually a way, isn't it?"

Qinzi on the other side of the phone laughed a few times, apparently guessing what Lin Ye was talking about.

——Kill Asuka Well, this is the most thorough solution!

No matter what the origin of that detective boy is, as long as he kills the source of the dream, "Asuka Ikiji", then the other party will naturally have no way to make trouble.

Qinzi obviously understood this, but she never proposed it.

Is this because of her pure nature (laughs), or is there another reason?

"I really don't want to hurt innocent people if I can... Although she caused a distortion, she is not at fault.

But to be honest, I seriously considered doing this. The reason why I didn't choose to kill Asuka once and for all is not because of this reason. "

Qinzi's tone was calm, but it contained considerable strength, which made people believe that what she said was true.

True, she would generally prefer not to do that, but she would still opt for the once-and-for-all approach if necessary.

...Iwanaga Kotoko is not a gentle heroine in the traditional sense, but an "arbiter" who can maintain rationality in most situations.

Lin Ye frowned: "Then why do you..."

"Because you wouldn't choose that."

Qinzi said very easily: "So I won't choose that."

"..."

"My personality isn't that likable, but it's possible to fake it."

The girl said on the other end of the phone——

"The only thing I don't want to be hated by you, Lin Ye-kun."

Hearing this serious tone which was completely different from usual, Lin Ye's face became inexplicably hot.

"What, is your heart beating faster?"

"no!"

Chapter 101 Chapter 88: The Lolita Who Has No Humanity

It took a lot of effort to bring Asuka Ikiji out of the hospital, but fortunately, she didn't have any relatives alive, so she had a lot of room to maneuver...Qinzi used more or less disgraceful methods to speed up the procedure , transferred her to her own home in just two days and hired professionals to take care of her.

And when Hayano arrived at Iwanaga's house, she and Hattori were busy transferring Asuka's people and life support devices to the van.

Just by looking at their behavior, it can only feel that they are engaged in some kind of illegal activities... although it may be really shameful.

Lin Ye, who had passed Qinzi beforehand, was not surprised. He said hello and sat on it. The three of them drove away from the manor with Asuka, but instead of going to the urban area, they headed for a remote road with few people. Into the mountains.

Hattori drove the car intently and carefully on the winding mountain road, while Kotoko observed the status of Asuka Well through the life support device, and at the same time told Lin Ye carefully.

"...Listen well, what we are going to meet this time is not an ordinary little monster, please don't be rude."

"Aren't you their princess?"

"That's what I said, but it also depends on the situation."

Qinzi said calmly: "Little monsters generally have no intelligence, and their strength is relatively weak. If they confront them head-on, they may not be able to defeat adults... But there are two situations that will cause a qualitative change in the power of monsters."

After she finished speaking, she stopped, and looked at Lin Ye playfully with her eyes, obviously trying to test him.

Lin Ye recalled what Qinzi had said to him before, added some of his own understanding, and tentatively said, "Age and popularity?"

"Bingo, that's right!"

Qinzi immediately pursed her lips and kissed Lin Ye: "Reward you——"

Snapped!

Lin Ye, who had been prepared for a long time, pressed her small head with one hand, and sighed helplessly.

"Can you be serious?"

"Well...tsk, I've always been serious."

Qinzi, who was not as strong as Lin Ye, had to give up, showing a dissatisfied expression.

"It's you who are too unkind."

"Okay, I'm not in the mood now, even if you want sexual harassment () harassment, please talk about it later."

"Really? So, can it be done after the matter is resolved?" Qinzi suddenly looked expectant.

"Whatever you want, but..."

Hayano glanced at the front driver's seat indiscriminately. Mr. Hattori, who seemed to be driving seriously, had veins popping out of his hand holding the steering wheel for some reason.

"Anyway, absolutely not now!"

Can you stop distracting the driver?On this mountain road, it is a matter of life and death!

"Ahem, let's get back to the point."

Qinzi returned to her dignified lady appearance, and said calmly: "It is age and popularity, or 'time' and 'faith' that can affect the strength of a monster.

Needless to say about age, the older monsters have accumulated more experience and wisdom. Many of them are not even inferior to humans in intelligence, and are fundamentally different from ordinary monsters.And in a sense, being able to live for such a long time is itself a powerful proof. "

Lin Ye nodded. This is easy to understand. Whether in Eastern or Western myths and legends, it is a general trend that the older you are, the stronger you are. Even in the 21st century, the monster bosses that appear in movies and TV shows always have to Add the suffix of "millennium" or "ten thousand years".

Oh, and of course there are zombie movies... It's just that Lin Ye doesn't understand why the "Millennium Zombie" has to wear Qing Dynasty official uniforms?

"The second is 'faith', which can also be said to be popularity or popularity.

There is not much difference between people's fear of monsters and worship of gods, especially in Japan, where the boundaries between monsters and gods are extremely blurred, and there have been more than one times when monsters "turned right" to become gods And to be enshrined. "

In fact, it is not only Japan, there are similar things in the mainland, but compared to Japan, since Qin Shihuang in China, the monarchy is absolutely above the divine power, and can even determine the change of belief.

In other words, in this part of China, immortals need to obtain a "certificate" issued by the central court if they want to work...

There are many gods worshiped by the people, but not many are recognized. Many times they will be regarded as "prostitution temples" and banned by the court. There are very few local beliefs that can be promoted to righteous gods.

For example, the Erlang God became a full-fledged official and was recognized by both the imperial court and Taoism very early on, while the Monkey King only exists in the word of mouth of the people, no matter how well-known he is, there is no official endorsement...

Of course, judging by the current public perception, it may force the official to admit it, just like changing a dictionary.

If it weren't for the imperial court's frequent cleanup of the obscene temples, then the various gods that have been handed down to this day are definitely more exaggerated than the "800 million gods".

"If you're lucky, if you connect your own legends with mountains and rivers, big monsters can even become mountain gods and river gods. In a sense, they are more carefree than righteous gods.

Of course, if it is too reckless, it will attract backlash, such as the famous Yamata no Orochi, and Shuten Doji from Oeyama.

The big monsters who have been able to live safely until now are basically friendly to others, so you don't have to be too nervous.After all, I am also a miko no matter what, they still respect me very much. "

Qinzi boasted a little to herself, and then said seriously: "What we are going to meet this time is the great monster who has lived for two or three hundred years and even experienced the Tokugawa shogunate, and is also the mountain god here.

It has a relatively lazy personality, and often sleeps for months or even years, so it hides in the remote mountains. Even now, few people know its legend. It can be said that it is a god who has been forgotten by modern society. "

"Really, that is to say... house god?"

Lin Ye looked at the scenery passing by outside the window, and said leisurely: "Unfortunately, the range of human activities is getting wider and wider. It may not be easy for it to find a place where it can sleep peacefully. There is no place in this area. will be developed."

It's quite emotional to think about it. In order not to be disturbed by humans, especially because they are afraid of being distorted by human rumors, most of these monsters hope to find a place to live in peace. However, in a country with a large population like Japan, Where is there any truly clean place?

The girl's voice interrupted Lin Ye's feeling of compassion——

"Oh no."

Qinzi suddenly said: "It won't be developed, here."

"...Huh?" The young man was taken aback.

"Because this is my home mountain."

Qinzi said as a matter of course: "My family is the largest landlord in the nearby area, don't you know?"

Lin Ye: "..."

Chapter 102 Chapter 89: But I just want to lie flat

The nightmare-eating tapir, its prototype comes from the "violent leopard" recorded in "Shan Hai Jing".

It is recorded in the annotations of the "Shan Hai Jing" by later generations: "The fierce leopard is also the tapir leopard, and the sound of the tapir leopard and the fierce leopard turns around." At this time, the tapir was just an ordinary rare animal and was regarded as The auspicious sign of "avoiding bad luck".

But in the Tang Dynasty, after the image of this kind of auspicious beast was introduced to Japan, the locals interpreted "avoiding bad luck" as "eating bad luck", which further turned into "eating nightmares".

Thus, the "dream-eating tapir", a mythical beast that guards people's dreams, was born.

Yes, compared to many wild gods who have turned from monsters, beasts, and evil ghosts, the nightmare-eating tapir can be said to be a red seedling, and it has existed as a symbol of auspicious beasts and auspiciousness from the very beginning.

Including today in the 21st century, for the secondary creation of the nightmare-eating tapir image, the ratio of positive is greater than negative.

Perhaps it is for this reason that the mountain god that Qinzi came to visit—the nightmare-eating tapir has a gentle atmosphere, and there is no fierce aura on his body, but it makes people who approach him feel a kind of inexplicable peace, and can't help but slack off .

It's like it comes with lyrical music and incense, people can't help but want to use its huge and soft body as a pillow...

"hiss!"

Lin Ye quickly shook his head, regrouping his lazy spirit.

"I almost got hit..."

This is a shrine somewhere in the mountains. Although it seems that no one has been here for a long time, it does not look dilapidated. The quality of the house is surprisingly good, which is very different from those crumbling abandoned shrines, and those piled up fallen leaves , On the contrary, it brings a three-point quiet atmosphere here.

At this time, Lin Ye and Kotoko entered the interior of the shrine, walked around the main hall and came to the back. Through the barrier that blocked the sight of ordinary people, they saw the giant beast that was only about the size of a minibus.

Although its size is exaggerated, its furry appearance doesn't make people feel intimidated, and it hasn't woken up yet, just lying there on its belly, enjoying the warm sunlight.

The heavy wind sounds from the slowly undulating body, giving people a relatively dull impression - just like a panda.

However, Lin Ye didn't despise each other because of this, just like a panda is a beast rather than a cute thing. Although the big guy in front of him looks slow, who knows what it looks like when he is serious?

Moreover, Lin Ye is clearly prepared, but he still can't help but feel sleepy when he gets close. If he is an ordinary person, he will definitely not be able to resist, but this is just the passive aura of the other party...

Should it be said that it is a great youkai from the Tokugawa shogunate era?Although it is a dead house, its ability is really not in vain.

"Be careful."

Qinzi also shook her head, and reminded: "This barrier is not so much to protect the dream-eating tapir from being discovered, but to prevent ordinary people who accidentally break in... No one wants to see a tragedy like Urashima Taro's. See."

After all, Qin Zi took two steps forward, raised his crutches and poked at the belly of the nightmare.

Pu Ao, Pu Ao... As the ripples spread out, it seemed that such an effect sound sounded.

"Is this really okay?" Lin Ye looked at Qinzi's bold action, and really didn't know what to do.

"It won't get angry, right? In case of a fight, with such a big guy, I'm not sure I'll take you to fight it."

"Don't worry, this god has a very good temper, at least I have never seen it angry."

"Oh?"

"Because...you...are...food..."

A murmur of words slowly came out from the giant beast's chest, and Lin Ye immediately stepped forward to protect the Qinzi behind his back, and touched the long knife at his waist with the other hand.

"Put it away...such a dangerous thing."

The voice gradually became fluent, and the furry body slowly sat up from the ground under the support of the arms, and a pair of sleepy eyes opened, looking at Qinzi and Lin Ye.

"Hmmm... miko and... samurai?

Ah, sorry, I was wrong... For me, the best food is all kinds of nightmares of human beings, so I will not harm human beings. "
