Chapter 195 Monster (Two in One)
Su Wu didn't care what other people were thinking. He was eagerly looking for the traces of demons.
The dusk was heavy, and the world was covered with a warm orange filter.
Logically, at this time, some demons like to jump in front of humans.
However, Su Wu waited until the sun completely sank into the horizon, and did not see even a demon in front of him.
There was no demon in the ten-mile radius.
The six eyes were only sensing some small demons, and the big demons that were rumored to be making trouble were not found at all.
Could it be that the big demons only looked down on Heian-kyō? Only appeared there?
"I only remember a place called Oeyama..." Su Wu touched his chin and thought.
Shuten-doji lived there, but he didn't know which way to go to Oeyama.
It seems that encountering demons and ghosts can only be left to fate.
It was dark very early. The villages encountered on the road were only a few dozen people. The wooden doors were closed and the lights in the houses were turned off very early.
Su Wu had no intention of traveling at night. He found a corner and waited for Maro to set up a tent and camp.
After coming to this world, Maro had not even discovered that the language used here was different from that used in the Hunter World.
He quickly set up the tent and even built a fire on the side.
"How can I disguise myself as an ordinary person to go fishing..." Su Wu lay in the tent and muttered to himself.
The dangerous aura on him seemed a little too obvious...
He had killed too many things in the Hunter World for more than two years. Counting the Chimera Ants behind, it is conservatively estimated that tens of thousands of lives died in his hands.
Because the system prompt clearly wrote there-[The number of enemies you killed exceeded five digits, and you were awarded the title-Ten Thousand Killers. ]
[When you wear this title, everyone will be terrified when facing you. ]
The evil spirit and bloody smell in the depths of the soul are so strong that they can't be concealed at all.
This makes most sensitive creatures see him The first reaction is-fear.
Even unintelligent creatures would flee as soon as they sensed his aura.
"Hmm..." Su Wu looked at the top of the tent in deep thought.
When he was angry, he never felt that he exuded murderous aura. Even when he smiled, he didn't seem like a good person.
"Strange... my face... why is it getting more and more fierce?" He touched his face and was puzzled.
To be honest, he looked more and more like his mother.
At first, when he was young and his face was rounder, it was not obvious. Now that he has grown up, his face has less flesh, his facial features are more prominent and three-dimensional, and his jawline is clearer. Although he is still handsome, he doesn't look very decent.
His mother is a mixed-race with a face of a femme fatale. She can only play the role of a vicious bad woman in acting.
And Su Wu looks very much like the other... but she is not beautiful enough, but gloomy.
Like a perverted handsome guy who lives in a castle that never sees the sun and locks himself up in a dark psychological state.
"He looks gloomy and has a murderous aura..." Su Wu couldn't help sighing as he said this.
If he were an ordinary person, he would have avoided such a person.
Maybe he has some psychological or mental illness, and it is not illegal to stab someone.
But now such a person is himself.
"Forget it." Su Wu closed his eyes and began to sleep.
He can't decide his appearance.
...
In the Heian period, few people slept on the streets at night, because... there were really demons rampant at night.
A figure stood outside the tent, and the shadow fell on the tent, and the burning fire seemed to be extinguished by something.
The visitor stood outside the tent, as if to distinguish whether this was a house, and raised his hand to knock on the door after a while.
He didn't hear the familiar knocking sound, and he made a strange sound.
The sound of the cloth breaking made by the sharp claws tearing the tent cloth was particularly clear at night.
"Bring me all the delicious food and wine..." The voice of the visitor was fierce and rampant.
But a sharp knife light came towards him, with a biting chill.
It was a knife made of frost!
"Where did this blind thing come from, daring to disturb the adults' sleep." Maro gritted his teeth and whispered, his palm wrapped in white waterproof bandages, holding the frost blade and stabbing at the strange thing outside the tent.
This strange thing was red all over as if it had been skinned, with fangs and messy long hair, and its eyes were wide open.
It was really blind to come to them to beg for food in the middle of the night.
Maro thought of this and held the ice knife with more force.
The bandage wrapped around the palm was anti-slip and anti-freezing.
Even if it was his own ability, it didn't mean that he could touch those ice cubes for a long time without getting frostbitten.
The uninvited guest who appeared in the middle of the night - the raw skin ghost was beaten and retreated repeatedly.
There were many more wounds on the skinned body, but no blood flowed out, but a layer of frost condensed.
"You are not an ordinary person." The raw skin ghost stared at the blond guy who was good at ice magic with hatred.
It was not an onmyoji either. Those onmyoji usually needed various gestures and talismans, as well as chanting spells.
But this guy has never done it.
I don't know where he came from, and I don't know his background, so I'll retreat first.
He thought so, and disappeared in a puff of white smoke.
Ma Luo's sword missed, and he stared gloomily at the empty space in front of him without saying a word.
"Namaboko, according to legend, will knock on doors in the middle of the night to ask for drinks and food, and will also scare disobedient children."
A lazy voice came from behind him, and he turned around and looked behind him.
The white-haired boy leaned against the outside of the tent, his arms folded, his expression contemptuous.
"A creature born from the words of others, because there are enough people who believe in this statement, so he is really born."
"It's similar to the example of becoming a god through faith..." When he said this, his tone was very playful.
In this case, creating a god becomes extremely simple.
Of course, Su Wu didn't want to become a god, he just thought it was very simple.
The position of a god born from human faith is of no use to him.
Needing faith means helping those people solve their problems, otherwise they will lose faith, and in the long run they will be completely bound and dependent on human faith.
What's the difference between this and a human dog.
If faith is replaced with dog food, there is no difference.
"That guy is not strong." Maro whispered.
He just didn't want to make too much noise, so he was restrained and never dared to use his full strength.
But... how could the adults not find it? I'm afraid that the adults had already found it when that thing appeared, but they just thought that the other party was too weak and didn't need to care.
"He's not really strong. He doesn't seem to be a particularly famous character..." Su Wu stroked his chin in thought.
"Then... are there any characters that you think are strong?" Maro asked hesitantly.
"As for strength... it's hard to say. After all, we haven't encountered any big monsters so far." Su Wu shook his head.
Although he was very confident, he would try it after encountering them.
"But what interests me are Shuten Douji, Ibaraki Douji, Daitengu, Tamamonomae, Phoenix Fire, Vampire Princess, Aoandon..." He pointed at a few names with his fingers.
It's not that they are so strong, it's just that he only remembers these.
Even... they may not all exist in reality, some may just be fabricated in a certain game.
"... So that's it." Maro smiled.
Being able to blurt out so many names... the adults must know something about this place.
At least, they are not like him, who knows nothing.
This... is good.
Since the adults have a certain understanding of this place, I feel relieved.
"I believe they must be outstanding in some aspects..." Maro said softly.
That's why they are remembered by adults.
"That's right." Su Wu nodded and confirmed his statement.
At least the name is interesting and he remembered it.
Thinking of this, suddenly a head appeared next to Maro.
A single head connected to the neck, without the body.
It was like hanging in the air.
"..." Maro stared at the smiling head in front of him for a second. When the head thought that this guy had been successfully scared by him and showed a smile of success on his face, he drew his sword without hesitation and stabbed the other's neck.
It was easy to pierce the other's head, and the head was strung up by the frost sword.
"Flying head barbarians, like to stick their heads out at night to scare people for fun. It seems that there are also sayings that they feed on humans and have a cruel temperament." Su Wu introduced while looking at the head on the ground.
Because there are records about this kind of thing in flower planting, he has some understanding.
"I heard that their heads will fly out at night and fly back to the body during the day. If the head cannot return during the day, the body will die." Su Wu continued.
"I see, you are worthy of being an adult, you know a lot." Maro said in an admiring tone, and then froze the head on the ground in a huge block of ice without hesitation.
It was not the kind of body that could not be melted in more than ten hours.
Obviously, he did not intend to let the head go back, and he was full of murderous intent.
"There should be no more problems tonight, sleep." Su Wu yawned and returned to the tent. The furry big white tiger lay there with a dead heart and used it as a blanket.
He lay down consciously, feeling that the title was still useful.
He cancelled the blood-red titles such as [Dragon Slayer] and [Ten Thousand Slayers], and then wore titles such as [Miraculous Hands] that reflected his kindness and willingness to help others.
Look, the effect is obvious, the raw skin ghost and the flying head barbarian are here.
I guess there will be no more little monsters hiding from him tomorrow.
…
Because Maro’s tent was torn by the Namahage, he did not sleep in the tent that night. Instead, he sat quietly outside Su Wu’s tent and added firewood to the fire all night.
The next day, he prepared hot water and breakfast for Su Wu to wash up early in the morning.
Even in this era of backward living conditions, Su Wu still lived a comfortable and leisurely life, like a vacation.
For this reason, he decided not to worry about the system swallowing all his money.
He originally had tens of billions of Jieni in the Hunter World, and the system said that it could be exchanged for the currency of this world.
When Su Wu said he wanted to exchange, the system said that the money was gone.
Because it consumed a lot of energy to bring Maro and Kong here, the money became the system’s hard work fee.
Damn profiteer.
Su Wu cursed in his heart while brushing his teeth.
The system was still silent as if it was dead.
“Let’s go.” After everything was ready, they set out on an outing again… No, it was on the way to Kyoto.
The neon lights were not big. According to their speed, if they really used all their strength, they would arrive in no time.
But they just leisurely walked along the way.
The farmers we met all had the same purpose: fishing, hunting, and farming.
The fish were small and looked like they didn't weigh more than two taels. The most we caught from hunting were pheasants, voles, or rabbits, which didn't look fat.
As the sun set, the villagers who had finished a day's work walked home in twos and threes.
A woman with a bun, dark clothes, and a cloth bag holding what seemed to be a child, stumbled and walked.
She even accidentally touched Maro's shoulder.
Maro glanced at the shoes on the other's feet, frowned, and slapped his shoulder fiercely as if he was infected with some bacteria, saying, "Get away."
He seemed to be getting more and more indifferent, or... inhuman?
"Sorry, sir..."
"I'm so sorry..." The woman's body was shaky like a willow in the wind.
She had a beautiful face, but strangely, the villagers around her turned a blind eye to it.
"Can you hold the child for me for a while?" She asked in a low voice, but she was looking in the direction of... Su Wu.
I didn't look for the blond figure beside me because he was obviously a follower, and how could a follower do anything else in front of his master.
Plus... I don't know why, I feel that the white-haired boy seems to be a kind-hearted person.
Su Wu looked at the title he wore, which others could not see, and almost laughed out loud.
Very good, the title is really useful here.
The monster is going to treat him as a good person and harm him!
"Ah, of course." The white-haired boy smiled and took the cloth bag wrapped in the baby handed over by the woman.
As soon as the corner of the woman's mouth curled up, she saw a spark in front of her.
"Ah, it seems that my hand temperature is too high and I accidentally caught fire." The white-haired boy smiled and said, holding the so-called swaddling clothes in one hand.
It was the swaddling clothes in his hand that was emitting fire.
Strangely, there was no cry of a baby.
Instead, one after another small black spiders escaped from the burning cloth bag, and were pulled back to their original position by invisible gravity.
The flames crackled and burned the pile of black spiders, but the woman in front of him showed a resentful expression.
"My child..."
"You killed my child..." She screamed, and her clothes were torn and restored to her original shape.
A monster... with a human upper body and a spider lower body.
The spider girl, also known as the spider.
The first reaction of the civilians not far away when they saw this scene was to run away.
While screaming, they ran away.
The series of actions were done very skillfully.
For people like them who live in a world full of demons and cursed spirits, and who will run into a demon killing scene from time to time, they have learned how to escape quickly.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I will reunite your family, soon." The white-haired boy said very kindly.
In the blink of an eye, the spider girl's legs were cut off, and her body fell to the ground without support, and then... her body was cut off again.
"It is rumored that the netherwolf will disguise itself as a beautiful woman to lure men back to its nest, wait for three days and then kill the man and eat him."
"It is also rumored that it will pretend to be a woman holding a child and ask others to help hold the child temporarily, but in fact there are only little spiders in the cradle."
"Well, it's okay for these spiders to say that they are your children." Su Wu nodded.
They encountered the second legendary netherwolf.
"I wish you a happy family reunion." He snapped his fingers lightly, and a fire instantly devoured the netherwolf's body on the ground.
