kvmb Chapter 82 Ihei
Chapter 82 Ihei
In the same year, Rui received an order from Lord Kokushibo, "You have been trained under me for so long, it is time for you to stand on your own."
After saying that, Kokushibo handed a scroll to Rui.
Then he said, "Go to the address above. According to the records of the sect, there may be robbers there."
Lei Mu nodded, "Yes, sir."
After Kokushibo left, Lei took a good look at what was recorded on the scroll.
It was recorded that no one who passed by there, whether nobles, merchants or commoners, returned alive.
A playful dude from a noble family went in there and never came back. He hoped that the Mercy God Church could help them.
In the eyes of ordinary people, there are only two sects that are developing relatively well now. One is the Ciyou Shen Sect that serves the people and speaks out for justice, and the other is the Wanshi Jile Sect that sends people to paradise without pain or worries.
In the end, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the Mercy God Church is more likely to help them find their missing relatives.
After seeing his relatives pass away decades ago, Lingmu Lei lost the direction of his life.
Having already experienced the love of his family, he never thought about looking for new relatives.
So, after explaining the situation to other friends, Rui came to the Ciyu Shinto sect where Kokushibo had previously trained his character, based on their recommendations.
It is worth mentioning that Kokushibo seldom goes on missions now. He spends most of his time practicing his martial arts and drinking tea and experiencing life.
Most of the affairs of the Ciyou Sect are handed over to some little ghosts, and those that cannot be completed will be reported to the current person in charge, Kokushibo.
After a tiring private training, Kokushibo went to the task library and carefully searched for a task that suited him.
With Lei's strength, he could easily complete the task, but this task seemed to involve some reasoning and decryption, so he was given to Lei, asking him to gain some experience.
According to the location on the quest scroll, you can call a carriage and set off in broad daylight without worrying about the roof of the carriage suddenly falling off.
After a long journey, stopping and starting, the driver and Lei arrived at a place dozens of miles away from the address.
"Master, please stop here! I really can't go to the front. I heard that someone was killed there!"
I looked at the sky and saw that it was cloudy. So I didn't make things difficult for the driver, gave him the balance, and told him to leave.
As for how to go back? Why not find another driver in a nearby village? There are several villages where we just passed by. As long as the money is paid, why worry about not finding a driver? !
"Is this here?"
After trekking through mountains and rivers for dozens of miles, and after asking people in the surrounding villages for directions, Lei finally arrived at his destination - Hachijo Island.
He looked indifferently at the large courtyard not far ahead and sighed.
"It's better to finish the task quickly and go back."
At this moment, he still looked like the child he was when he turned into a ghost. Having already disguised his ghostly features, he did not intend to change his form again.
Today he disguised himself as a passerby, asked some questions on the island, and found out most of the situation on Hachijo Island.
There are several families and civilians on Hachijo Island, and most people lead relatively orderly lives. Some go out of the island to do business, while others run their own small businesses.
There is only one exception. It is said that the name of that family is "Ihei". The locals have not seen a boy in the Ihei family for more than 370 years.
Everyone in that family is a girl!
What’s even more strange is that no one has ever seen anyone from this family doing business, and no one knows where their money comes from.
Gradually, from who knows when, it became a rumor that anyone who visited this family or married a woman from this family would never step out of the family's courtyard.
At first, the locals didn’t know that this family was so strange, because in the past, the women of the Ihei family would marry men with no ties, and no one would notice if they disappeared.
His friends thought he was out having fun and cursed him inwardly for leaving without saying goodbye, and the matter was left unresolved.
Until a man from a powerful family came to visit relatives on Hachijo Island, married a woman from the Iguro family, and disappeared.
Only then did the people around them discover the abnormality of the Ihei family.
Those who thought they had some abilities sneaked in and didn't come out the next day. In short, once you go in, there is no coming back.
The image of the Ihei family has been spurned by the locals, and the women in the family can only go out and deceive uninformed outsiders.
As a ghost, what was there to be afraid of? So he was not panicked at all and appeared directly at the gate of the Ihei family.
Under the gaze of the two female guards, he directly expressed his desire to go in and take a look.
The guard thought to himself, what a good thing! He got another child for free, and it’s a boy!
They were so happy that they simply ignored all the unreasonable behaviors.
So, under the astonished gazes of passers-by, Lei was invited into the Ihei family by two guards.
He had just sat down in the lobby for a short while when he was tired and they tied him up without even giving him a chance to act.
After pretending to be angry and shouting a few words in fear, Lei reluctantly cooperated with their performance.
He wanted to see where they were going to take him. Only by solving the problem at the root would everything be fine.
Lei was escorted by several female guards all the way to the depths of the courtyard. After walking for an unknown amount of time, they arrived at a place that was luxuriously decorated and resembled a cult lobby.
One of the female guards went in first, but came back after a moment and whispered something to the other female guard.
"I have already told the Goddess, and she asked us to bring the boy in."
"..."
Of course, as a ghost with keen five senses, Rui could hear the conversation between the two parties clearly.
Lei: Goddess? Is she the culprit?
Then, several female guards continued to escort them into the luxurious lobby.
Lei moved his nose and sniffed.
It's the smell of a ghost!
Is there a ghost living here who has escaped from the control of adults? Since he has joined forces with ordinary people to harm others.
No mercy!
Lei originally wanted to kill the ghost directly, but seeing that there were still ordinary people around, he gritted his teeth and held back.
These people cannot be killed yet. He has to wait for them to take him to the cell where outsiders are held.
I'm unfamiliar with the place and the yard is so big, it'll take me a long time to find my way.
Lei looked at the ghost leaning against the high platform. It was a female ghost with a human head and a snake body. He wondered if she recognized him.
"Huh? This is the boy you were talking about, not bad! But I have already had my meal today. Take him away first and bring him back to me tomorrow morning." The female ghost twisted her snake tail, came closer to take a look, and said with satisfaction.
It was obvious that she didn't recognize Rui as one of the Twelve Demon Moons.
Just like that, Lei was taken away by a group of people and escorted to the prison.
Passing by one prison cell after another, Lei saw many children, elderly people and young men imprisoned.
After the guards had left, Lei climbed to the cell pole and observed his surroundings.
The cell is made of wood and can be broken into pieces.
Suddenly, a sound from the cell next door reached Lei's ears.
"You are a boy, you can't go out. It's the same for me. I have lived here since I was a child and have never been out."
