【Light Cut】Playing hard to get

The moon seemed to be avoiding the tengu, hiding its light in the clouds of late autumn. The boy was weak due to hunger and cold all year round, and soon he was out of breath, tinnitus and stomach acid came together, making him clenched the front of his chest uncomfortably.

"Woo..." He stumbled, ran and stopped, and tripped over tree roots one after another due to poor night vision, but he gritted his teeth and still chose to move forward.

"Huh...huh..." The reflection of the tree was gradually ferocious, the darkness in front of him became deeper and deeper, and Laiguang's heavy breathing was faintly accompanied by crying. I have been involved in such strange things, but the man who suddenly appeared did not deny the accusation of "you are a monster". It turns out that "night monsters who steal and eat children in human skin" really exist!

"Lai, Lai Guanggong..." The boy finally couldn't run anymore. He knelt on the ground panting with stars in his eyes, and called desperately in the oppressive darkness. He hoped that the ghost-slaying hero with the same name as himself would come here and take him away. The fate of being swallowed by monsters, "Help me..."

As soon as his words fell, what followed was the voice he least wanted to hear at the moment: "Yuan Laiguang, why are you running?"

A monster dressed as a samurai descended like fire from the sky, and his appearance changed drastically in the strong wind. Raikou widened his eyes and watched in horror as the monster's black hair was dyed with snow, and a red horn grew from the top of its head. It suddenly appeared from the side A giant black hand held a knife glistening with blood. "You actually asked me who I was... You actually said to me—'Don't touch me'." The monster paused every word, gnashed its teeth, and the storm rolled in its red pupils, and every word it said was filled with endless resentment and resentment , "How dare you forget me... Why did you forget me! You forgot the name 'Onikiri' you gave me! Damn Minamoto Raimitsu, I'm going to kill you!"

Onikiri leaned forward and pushed Laiguang to the ground with just one step. He grabbed the boy's slender neck with both hands, his fingers tightened instantly in rage, "You provoked me first, it was you! Why didn't I Die without your permission? I am the only one who can kill you, but you have been deceiving me until the end—”

When the century-old sorrow and resentment left behind turned into anger, it was enough to burn all reason.Onikiri looked down at the painful expression on the boy before he was suffocated, felt the helpless convulsions of the small body below him, and a twisted pleasure twisted up, and he suddenly showed a dimpled smile, "I'm Onikiri, I'm It's a monster, I want to eat you, Minamoto Raimitsu... so that the damn Minamoto family won't hide your spiritual place where I can't find it."

The boy's twitches became weaker and weaker, his long eyelashes drooped weakly, but Onikiri's smile became brighter and brighter, even bringing a bit of contented serenity.He wanted to open his fangs at the moment of Raikou's death, so he lowered his upper body, put his head close to Raikou's chest, and listened to the last beating of that little heart—suddenly, he was moved by the dying heartbeat of this little boy , recalling the heartbeat of a certain century ago.

It was the last few days when Yuan Lai's light was exhausted, and the old man became drowsy and lazy. Even ordinary people could see that the general who slayed ghosts was about to die soon.As the general's former sword, he didn't take it seriously on the surface, but his inner panic was still like a stormy sea, so he sneaked into Yuan's house every now and then, disappeared, slipped into Minamoto's room, knelt beside the old master, and listened. his heartbeat.

That kneeling posture is absolutely uncomfortable, like a living person being put on a knife rack, but he listened to Minamoto's heartbeat, like a gentle ocean tide, or like a clean drop of water, as if it could gather all the scattered thoughts, Wash away all the filth of deceit, let his anxious mood gradually calm down, and return to calmness and tranquility.He curled up beside Minamoto Laiguang, as if he had returned to the days when he was a sword, in the name of the Lord, in the order of the Lord, he was invincible and invincible.

A few times, he was able to leave in time before Minamoto woke up, but more often, he fell asleep listening to Minamoto's heartbeat.It's not his fault, he couldn't hear Minamoto Raimiko's heartbeat when he was in Dajiangshan, and he was always worried and couldn't sleep all night. Finally, he crossed many barriers and came to the person who could let him rest. Of course, he had to catch up on sleep. It is inevitable that I will not wake up.

Relying on his invisibility skills, he fell asleep in the dark, but his proud moves are like child's play to great onmyojis like Minamoto Larimitsu.Whenever he wakes up, there is always a dry and old hand stroking his silver hair and red horns. Minamoto Laiguang is weak when he gets up, so he maintains a supine posture, turns his head to look at the side of the couch, and reaches out to touch the air in the eyes of ordinary people. His knife in his eyes.

"Men Raimitsu, don't touch me." Although he said this when he was half awake, he moved on the floor and got closer to Minamoto Raimitsu.If Minamoto Raimitsu reprimanded him for being "uneducated" in an old voice as before, he would retort: ​​"I don't want to be taught by an old, ugly, smelly old man who just lies around all day!" If Minamoto Raimitsu raised his hand and pinched him Twist the tip of his nose, twist his earlobe, he will squeeze out a fierce look, and make a gesture to bite Minamoto's fingertips, and then hand his left eye to Minamoto's fingers, just like the moment when he was drawn out of the contract .

"I heard them discussing your funeral objects." At other times, he would close his eyes, pretend to be talking in his sleep, and mutter to the old people around him, "They said, you will bring Genji's best knife In the afterlife... Ibaraki will be very happy that his most hated sword finally goes to the grave with the person he hates the most."

He is very shy about mentioning "Kie Anzuna" in front of Raimiko Minamoto, maybe it's out of some kind of veiled jealousy.But Minamoto's reply to this was: "Heh, isn't Genji's best sword my own? As for my best sword..."

The withered hand touched his left eye again, the strength and warmth of the fingertips remained the same as before.He was very thankful that he closed his eyes, so he tried his best to stop the bursting tears.

"I have something to give you, but it will take a few more days." He changed the subject clumsily, unaware that a certain teardrop had escaped from the corner of his eye, leaving colorless water marks on his cheek, and was caught by Minamoto Raimitsu again. Wipe off everything with his fingertips, "Until then, you are not allowed to die! Did you hear that, Minamoto Raimitsu, I won't let you die, you can't—"

"—you can't die."

Onikiri suddenly let go of the hand that was pinching the boy's neck, trembling because he had just woken up from a big dream, "Minato Raimitsu! No, don't die—" The overwhelming regret buried him, and he bent down to save Raimitsu, and The poor boy whose life was hanging by a thread was dragged back to the present world, and then he was carefully hugged into his arms, stroking his back constantly, and stammeringly apologized to him: "I'm sorry, Minamoto Raimitsu, I'm sorry... I, I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm sorry, it's my fault, I shouldn't treat you like that..."

The devastated boy's eyes are half-closed, his lips are purple, and his neck has deep fingerprints and is still in excruciating pain.He was forced to lean on Onikiri's shoulder, forced to accept Onikiri's embrace and touch, the pain and humiliation forced him to grit his teeth, and finally he said hoarsely: "My...not... last name... Yuan."

But the big demon just pretended not to hear it, and still murmured to himself: "I'm sorry, Lord Raikou, I will make up for my mistakes, and I will take care of you. Please don't die, please don't...don't leave me."

The boy who was completely ignored sighed inwardly, thinking silently: What a strange monster, probably his brain is broken.It's ridiculous to even say that you want to "take care of me"... Anyway, it will be eaten in the end.

However, the "Minami Raimitsu" that the monster repeatedly mentioned is Mr. Raimitsu of the Minamoto family?

The little boy with the same name as the old hero silently chewed his doubts, let the silver-haired and red-horned monster gently hug him, stepped across the moonlight, and went through the unknown past and the way he came.
