If the unspeakable faction is still divided by nationality, then just as there is a chance that a highly intelligent serial killer will be chosen by Earth, it would not be surprising if a few exceptionally intelligent monsters were drawn by the Spirit Orb, where everything has a spirit, and became the chosen ones of a certain country.
When humans make requests of their own countries, they usually ask for food, drink, and entertainment. But what about ghosts and monsters?
If the chosen ones of the demons demand that their respective countries offer up young boys and girls before they will actively participate in the trials, what choices will humanity make? In this part, the cat simply mentions that "a huge conflict arose between the Onmyoji and the demons."
Next, because the chosen ghost was smart enough, he explored the realm of pseudo-rules through supernatural tales of rules and his own magic.
When it comes to power, once you understand one thing, you understand everything else.
The conflict between humans and demons erupted completely, and this time, the Unspeakable made the opposite choice from "Cyber Myth"—standing on the side of humans. Thus, a powerful Onmyoji, as if divinely inspired, created the demon realm, summoned everyone to seal away the hundred demons, resulting in the current situation.
Back then, the Great Onmyoji created the Demon Realm.
Now, Yin Zhu has established new rules through the power of rules, so Hua Ji has mistaken him for an undercover agent sent by humans.
Isn't that so?
Hana-hime's long hair sometimes transforms into flower petals, and sometimes gathers into strands of hair, her conflicted and troubled emotions are clearly visible.
Yin Zhu sighed helplessly, rubbing her forehead. "Of course... no, I already said that if you broke the rules, the rules would have punished you long ago. Since you're fine now, it's because you didn't break the rules."
Do not communicate with humans in any way.
So, I am...
Yin Zhu quickly stopped thinking about the problem, after all, she still had some things to finish, and she couldn't afford to ignite this time bomb at this moment.
After scrutinizing Yin Zhu several times, Hua Ji's attitude calmed down considerably. Only the handle of the floral umbrella she unconsciously twirled revealed the unsettled state of her heart: "You also escaped through reincarnation? The identity of the Bamboo Cutter Boy must be a lie, right? And what is your real name?"
Yin Zhu raised her index finger to her lips and gently shushed, "Have you forgotten? [Remember your real name, and don't tell anyone, otherwise, you'll bear the consequences.]"
Yin Zhu deliberately spoke the last four words one by one.
With each word she spoke, Hua Ji's expression worsened. Clearly, she realized how inappropriate her words had been, and her gaze towards Yin Zhu became increasingly mysterious and unpredictable, leaving one wondering what she was thinking.
At times like this, Yin Zhu can hardly help but envy Hirano San's talent; if only she could hear what the other person was thinking.
By this time, Hua Ji had composed herself, a sweet smile on her face. She raised her hand and clapped her hands crisply. With a loud boom, the tree roots on the ground suddenly began to writhe, rapidly weaving behind the two of them.
Soon, a chair appeared behind the two of them.
"Please, honored guest, set down your esteemed position. I am truly sorry for your rudeness just now." Hanahime's eyes had returned to their normal color, and her manner of speaking immediately became polite. One wonders how many twists and turns Hanahime's mind had been going through in those few seconds.
Yin Zhu sat down with relief and took the initiative to start the conversation: "So you're not willing to be subordinate to Shuten-dōji for the rest of your life, are you?"
"uh-huh?"
Hua Ji didn't answer directly. She simply stretched out her hand and looked at her fingernails, which were decorated with colorful floral patterns. It seemed that these patterns attracted her attention more than any other topic, even when she asked Yin Zhu to sit down.
Having taken in Hua Ji's reaction, Yin Zhu quickly realized what was happening and looked around.
A shrine sits in the corner.
Because the fourth floor of the Flower Tower is completely illuminated by white cherry blossom lanterns, there are inevitably some blind spots where the candlelight cannot reach. There is a shrine covered with a cloth there. Even without lifting the cloth, Yin Zhu knows that it is the shrine of Shuten-dōji.
To reinforce the awe and reverence all demons held for her, Shuten-dōji required all demons with fixed abodes to place their own shrines in their homes.
It's not protection, it's surveillance.
Even Hana-hime was under Shuten-dōji's control. Therefore, there were some things that Yoon-tsu could say without restraint, but Hana-hime dared not speak.
This is also why Yin Zhu specifically included two rules to target her when formulating the "New Rules for the Ghost Realm".
After a moment of silence, Yin Zhu suddenly brought up a topic unrelated to the present: "Speaking of which, I originally thought that Fan Hua Lou was a clock tower, but it turns out there is only a tree. I'm so disappointed. I could accept it even if it were an electronic clock."
Hana smiled modestly: "I feel deeply saddened and remorseful for making you feel uncomfortable."
Next, the two stared at each other blankly.
This won't last long, Yin Zhu added silently to herself.
Ring ring ring.
A series of muffled telephone rings broke the awkward silence.
Hua Ji suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with fear mixed with a hint of understanding as she looked at Yin Zhu: "There shouldn't be telephones in the Ghost Realm!"
"What, are you going to pick it up?"
Yin Zhu tilted her head, watching Hua Ji's ever-changing expression, and finally mustered up the courage to find the source of the phone ringing.
Ring ring ring— Ring ring ring—
I don't know who called, the voice kept ringing, it sounded very close to me, but there was no trace of the phone on the ground around me.
Of course, there were no traces.
After all, Yin Zhu hadn't done anything, so Hua Ji naturally couldn't find those imagined things.
