Chapter 36 "Doma, you have no manners at all..."
If Upper Moon Two, seated atop the high platform, possessed a hint of divinity due to his seven-colored eyes and unique white oak hair, then the one standing before Aori at this moment was far more sinister.
The ends of his upper hair were very sharp, and there was a large blood-like mark on his head, which looked shocking. The aura he exuded had nothing to do with compassion.
His arrival was too sudden.
Azhi was still confused. She was only focused on avoiding the demons on her way forward. She didn't expect that Upper Moon Two would break through 000's concealment and chase after her from behind.
Upper Moon kept talking to himself, as if punishing her for not paying attention, and he applied a little more pressure with his fingers.
Azhi frowned in discomfort; the sweat that had beaded on her forehead from running had long since turned cold, just like her current mood.
Of course, she couldn't tell Doma the truth, nor could she reveal any information about the system or the mission to the people in the mission world. This was something 000 had repeatedly emphasized since they were bound to her.
"…………"
Her face was so pale it was almost transparent. The girl seemed to have lost her language ability due to panic and was completely unable to communicate.
Doma waited patiently for a few more seconds, but still didn't hear the explanation he wanted, which left him with a slight sense of disappointment.
That's the downside of humans; when faced with unexpected events, they seem to freeze up and can't even speak properly.
When Doma first learned from Muzan that Upper Moon One Kokushibo, who had been elusive for so many years, had taken a liking to a human woman and kidnapped her, he wondered if this woman must have something special about her.
After getting to know her, she realized she was wrong. At first glance, Doma labeled Ori as "fragile and delicate." She was also weak-willed and didn't even have the courage to escape Doma's control.
Only her exceptionally beautiful face was still quite good; even covered in dust, it didn't diminish her beauty.
But he had slept with countless girls of this type, and suddenly felt a little bored. He withdrew his hand and began to talk to the girl while looking her over.
"Upon closer inspection, you are indeed very beautiful, with a well-proportioned skull. You would be a very pleasing sight in a vase."
"Find the girl who's with Kokushibo, and kill her!" That's what the gloomy-faced demon king ordered him.
Having been assigned a task for the first time, Doma naturally wanted to meet Muzan Kibutsuji's expectations, and it was definitely not because he was bored.
—This upper arm can be said to be true and true.
These words were clearly written in Azhi's mind. Her body involuntarily took a step back, and at the same time, a sharp pain came from her wrist where she had used force.
When I fell, my wrist scraped against the ground, and the skin was slightly torn off. It wasn't a serious injury, and I didn't even notice it until it started to bleed.
The bright red blood droplets, like round red pearls, were adorning the skin. The moment Azhi looked over, the blood droplets rolled down her fingertips due to gravity, leaving a red line on the back of her hand.
The sweet scent of blood gradually spread through the air, almost imperceptible to ordinary people, but all too obvious to the demons who feed on human flesh and blood.
This little girl has a very rare blood type.
At this moment, she was like a newly lit lamp, attracting evil spirits hidden in the darkness who wanted to pounce on her and devour her whole.
Doma had already noticed that some low-ranking demons were approaching, but perhaps due to his imposing presence, they dared not expose themselves directly to them.
Upper Moon's gaze seemed glued to her, his pupils slowly transforming into the vertical eyes of a wild beast, making that small patch of skin burn with his stare. It was difficult for A-Zhi not to notice.
She immediately covered it with her other hand, trying to distract the ghost in this abrupt way.
The coral beads clinked together, making a crisp sound that further attracted the ghost's attention.
Upper Moon twitched its nose, its throat bobbing as if it were thirsty, revealing a hint of its sharp, white teeth: "You smell so good!"
An incredibly cruel scene is about to unfold.
An innocent and pitiful human girl was first captured by Upper Moon One and suffered countless hardships. Now she is being hunted down by countless demons.
She may not have seen much beauty yet, but her short life is about to end in endless fear.
Tong Mo's eyes crinkled into a smile as he crouched down, his gentle tone filled with seduction: "It's painful, isn't it? I can help you end this painful life."
He didn't press her too hard, nor was he afraid that the girl would suddenly stand up and run away. Within his sight, no matter where Azhi hid, the final outcome would not change.
Moreover, he felt that Ah Zhi should be weak and powerless to escape now. Although she seemed to be hiding a secret, she was indeed a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.
To be honest, Upper Moon Two's personality is really awful.
If there wasn't absolutely no other way, Azhi would have turned around and covered her ears to shut out all of the ghost's words.
Of course she was very afraid, but this fear was slightly different from the fear she felt when she first encountered Kokushibo. Aori couldn't tell the difference yet, and of course, she didn't have time to think about it.
【Ah Zhi, buy a little time.】 000 is always the calmest in times of crisis. Its backend is rapidly calculating a lot of data, all to help Ah Zhi escape danger. 【Just say something.】
[Just something to say?]
At times like these, 000's mechanical tone always gave Azhi the strength to keep going. The upper hand in her vision was getting closer and closer. She gritted her teeth and her mind raced.
Then he muttered something under his breath.
"What?"
Doma only saw the girl's mouth open and close but didn't hear what she said. He could mercifully wait for her to give her last words.
So he stopped the upward motion, blinked at A-Zhi with a puzzled look, and gestured for her to repeat it.
"—I said." Azhi suddenly spoke loudly, her extreme tension making it difficult for her to control her emotions, her tone somewhat unnatural, "Thank you for your compliment earlier!"
Azhi was referring to what Upper Moon Two had just said about her skull being well-proportioned. As expected of a demon, the angle of his praise was so unique that no ordinary person could ever think of it.
Of course, Aori knew that Doma's words were not a compliment, but clearly an intimidation and a threat.
Douma never expected that the girl's last words would be this. He thought she would cry and beg for mercy, trying to buy time.
He paused for a few seconds, which was extremely rare for him, and then a hint of sincerity appeared in his eyes. "Suddenly, I don't want you to die here like this."
Although he said that, his killing intent did not diminish in the slightest. So, Azhi was very puzzled as to what this ghost had gone through to become like this.
She said dejectedly, "I tried my best."
"Well done!" 000 Tiger patted A-Zhi's head and said fiercely, "It's alright, he'll get a good beating soon!"
[—It's here!]
No sooner had 000 finished speaking than a loud bang suddenly erupted in the night sky not far away. A ghostly figure suddenly appeared between Aori and Doma, forcing Doma to retreat.
Amidst the rising dust, Doma's outstretched arm, which had been reaching for Aori, fell to the ground, and a cold, murderous voice sent shivers down one's spine.
"Doma, you have no manners at all!"
