Manual of the Monster in City

40 The Legendary Expelling Items

    "Indeed... I am indeed a coward." Wu Yao lowered his head and said with a smile. "Miss Bai Ling knows what it's like to be imprisoned?"

    Bai Ling just smiled faintly, did not say anything, and let him continue.

    "I was locked in the iron cabinet that day, and I couldn't open it anyway. I desperately asked for help, knocking on the iron cabinet from inside, hoping someone would pass by, and hope someone would find me. But that was the top floor of the teaching building, the westernmost science experiment Room, there are so few science experiments. The guy...locked the door from the outside...

    "Night is coming soon. I have no strength, so I can only cry feebly. In the end, there are no tears or even crying. No one will find this. This is the loneliest corner of the whole school. Tie The cabinet is very cold, very cold. I can't even squat down in the narrow space. I can only stand up, my legs are sour, and the skin sticks to the iron surface of the cabinet. The body heat is quickly absorbed. Hungry, cold, The pain and the despair in my heart spread quickly.

    "There can be something to save me... It's fine... I called from the bottom of my heart, but nothing responded to me. Until the day I left the iron locker, I saw my body, pale and lost Angry, it has slowly started to decay. But no one found me.

    "I went back to my previous class, familiar place, but saw them just like usual. The only difference is that my seat is empty, but no one finds it strange. It seems that someone like me will suddenly disappear one day. That kind of person. In the end, no one realized what was in the room until the corpse was rotten to the point of stinking, so they finally found out that I, who had been missing for a long time...my body.

    "I hate that person. The guy who kept me in the closet and never returned. I was bullied by him and kept silent because I was afraid...I was afraid of greater revenge. But... ...He actually...killed me...in such a cruel way.

    "I was determined to avenge him. So I found the prison where he was being held. In my eyes, who became a ghost, there were no more impenetrable walls, nor anything that could trap me...anything...I was in him. The cabinet in the cell made some hands and feet, tried to make it make a strange noise, and stared at him with that kind of cold eyes. When he fell asleep, I was attached to him, and the memories of pain and despair, all... let He saw.

    "My revenge succeeded. Not long after, he was driven mad by me and committed suicide in jail. The people outside said that he committed suicide, but I knew he was killed by me. He was scared to death. People. But after he died, I heard something suddenly. It made me doubt my revenge and what I did...

    "The boy who killed me, on the same day, the day I was locked in the cabinet, he wanted to go online all night outside the school, and released me the next day, but was knocked down by a speeding motorcycle outside the school... Then, then he forgot what to do. So...that’s why nobody found out, so he didn’t let me out. But I knew he was still doing something wrong, and I kept telling myself that, but I still felt very comfortable Blame, that kind of self-blame comes from the bottom of my heart, and I feel that my revenge... is a bit too much. I should... I could... let it go... right..."

    "It's a pity that you can't do it." Bai Ling interrupted him gently, "The last of you was because of this self-blame, which has always survived to this day. Instead of hatred. You have been wandering in the world, wandering in what you don't belong to. Savor this self-blame and loneliness in your own world. You just refuse to let yourself go."

    "Yeah... it's myself... the prison I prepared for myself. Until that day... I saw him by accident. It was the boy who was possessed by me and brought to Miss Bai Ling... His name is Li Guisheng, I think, He is very similar to me. He is very timid and has a ridiculous habit of hiding in the cabinet. So sometimes, I will talk to him who is hiding in the cabinet." Wu Yao continued.

    "But he is not afraid of me at all. Instead, he tells me all the things he has been bullied. Of course, there is a strange sense of security in the cabinet, for him. It seems that no one can see you, and you But you can stand in this dark place and observe in secret. Miss Bai Ling is right. He is a coward like me and the most inferior. Only in this way, when others can’t see himself, he can secretly The place to observe everything outside...is the most at ease.

    "He is bullied by bad students in school all day long like me. But no one can say. Adults think these are children’s matters and don’t care at all. School violence seems to them to be children fighting as if they are human It’s a common experience that people have, and it’s also said that it’s normal masculine behavior. I have been observing this child in secret until that day, he hid in the toilet cubicle, holding his head weakly, as if he could not see, he could hide. Everything that will come...

    "I seem to have seen myself. I will never let the same tragic fate fall on him. This kind of thought... It's ridiculous, maybe it's just because we are similar people. I don't want to let our own The pain reappears as if it is being applied to him again." Wu Yao shook his head and laughed.

    "I entered his body, and the power of the ghost allowed me to easily pass through the plastic wall of the compartment, helping him avoid the sewage that came from his head and face. I vowed to help him only this time. But that night, he and the club His friends went back to school to play together. In several classrooms in the west corridor, he suddenly felt that he heard the voice of the bully...Zhang Liang.

    "Yes, that guy also came to school with his little brother. Li Guisheng was too scared, so I decided to help him...so I once again...attached to his body and shut the bully bastard off. Enter the cabinet in his class. Since my incident happened, the school has canceled the lock on the cabinet to prevent such incidents from happening, so I sealed the cabinet tightly with the power of ghosts.

    "Zhang Liang's strength is great, and the cabinet is constantly shaking. Although he can't open his fists and the cabinet is blessed by my strength, I can still feel the fear in Li Guisheng's heart... Yes, just like me... …Is the fear of the coward who is afraid of being retaliated, so they would rather be bullied all the time than resist...so I used the power of the yin spirit again to make him fall into a coma. But—"

    "But when you finish all this and feel that you have taught Zhang Liang enough, you find that you can't unlock the power sealed in the cabinet, and there is no way to wake him up. Among the power you use, there is something This kind of cold and dark element dragged him into the abyss, no matter how hard you tried...you can't call him back. What you are doing now is no different from the person who bullied you back then..."

    Wu Yao held his head in his hands, and tears kept rolling down from his eyes: "I'm sorry...I was wrong. I shouldn't...should not do such excessive things...nor should I take such dangerous things. Leave it to Qingming and let others...take the risk for me...I'm sorry..."

    His body suddenly emits a faint light. Wu Yao found that his ghost was slowly peeling away from the body of Li Guisheng he was possessing, and his whole body was bathed in a burst of light...

    "This...this is..." He looked at the scene in disbelief.

    Bai Ling smiled happily, no matter how bitter her expression was just now, but now, everything seems to have disappeared, and her smile is like the feeling of sunlight falling from the middle of the clouds after the rain. On the cheeks of the classical beauty of the times.

    "Thank you." She patted her palms in front of her, "Guest, you have done a lot to help Mr. Seimei now."

    ————

    Annoying things...

    Something to hate...

    Hostile things...

    It's fine if you can't see it.

    As long as they are not visible, they cease to exist.

    Things that are not seen, things that are not paid attention to, are like a wayward child who is messing around at home, but still unable to attract the attention of adults, and slowly becomes bored.

    Things that don't exist in the world are the same, except that they are not seen by everyone.

    That's right, Mr. Seimei.

    Need me... to fulfill your wish?

    ——These voices kept echoing in Jia Qingming's mind.

    "Who are you...no...I don't need...I don't need this kind of thing!" Jia Qingming shouted. Now everything in the club room has disappeared, leaving only an empty and blank world.

    He saw some broken silhouettes. They seemed to be people, but they had no faces, only silhouettes, like portraits in shadow puppets played by folk artists.

    ——Need me... to fulfill your wish? You don't want to... see that kind of thing, right? That is a curse.

    The burning incense rose slowly and hovered in the room. Qingming realized that the room had quite ancient furnishings. A figure sat in front of him and asked him again.

    The tall figure of the opponent and the height of the table in front of him made Jia Qingming aware of his height. He is now a short child.

    This is... his memory.

    Memories that were once, but lost for some reason.

    ——Need me... to fulfill your wish? I can make those things... disappear.

    And this voice... belongs to a woman.

    "You...who are you?" Jia Qingming asked, with a deeper smile on the black silhouette.

    He was close to the truth, he seemed to be the one who flew to the sun with his wax wings.

    The air was so dignified that it seemed to be filled with lead. He felt suffocated, but he still tried to persevere, wanting to hear the answer from that person.

    Everything in front of him quickly shrank to a point and quickly retreated from his eyes.

    "Hey. What are you guys doing?" It was Yuan Mumu's lack of cadence and frustration.

    Jia Qingming coughed, he felt as if he had choked a lot of water, and he was very embarrassed now.

    Now his cheeks and clothes are covered with water, and the pool in front of him has been filled with water, and water is constantly pouring from the tap, causing water to continuously overflow from the edge of the pool.

    "You just opened the water there by yourself. I didn't know what you were talking about. Then... you put your head in the water... I thought it was... what kind of spell..." Xiao Shanshan said.

    "When I came to see you later, I felt that something was wrong, maybe it was evil. So I asked Yuan Xuechang to help..." Edogawa said.

    Then Yuan Mu-mutu pulled him back from the dangerous edge in time.

    Jia Qingming coughed a few times, and there seemed to be residual water in his nasal cavity. Fortunately, the kit was still in his hands. He turned and looked at the cabinet in the corner, where the group of ghosts entangled in it was howling in pain, emitting a faint light.

    "What happened?" He asked, obviously no one would answer this question, neither the light nor the ghost itself could be seen by the few people present.

    He didn't know what happened, but it was an opportunity.

    He opened the kit in his hand... actually contained a bunch of...

    Little wooden sign?

    Jia Qingming's mood is complicated, and she wants to ask: Are you kidding me?

    These gadgets... these are the legendary... exorcism items? !
