Washing Away Your Conceit Chapter 9

After listening to Xiao Zhi's words, Nolan Abe frowned and touched her chin for a while and thought: "The little girl in red... If Xiao Zhi can see it, but the adults can't..."

"I know! That girl should be a Zashiki doll!" Nolan Abe said with certainty.

Zashiki dolls generally look like children between 2 and 6 years old, mostly girls. However, adults cannot usually see her, only children can see her.

Chloe Chi frowned: "You said that the unknown monster belongs to Zashiki Warashi? But isn't Zashiki Warashi a monster that brings luck and wealth to people?"

Yayoi Abe raised his eyes and explained to her: "I heard my grandfather say before that when he was young, he encountered some humans who locked up Zashiki dolls."

"Because Zashiki dolls bring good luck, those who are familiar with its habits have evil thoughts and keep Zashiki dolls in their homes for their own benefit."

Chloe Chi understood and frowned slightly: "Do you mean that the Zashiki boy who was locked up started to take revenge on humans because he was treated like this?"

Nolan Abe nodded: "Zashiki dolls must have resentment towards humans, so they bring bad luck to the people around them."

No wonder when they woke up this morning, unlucky things happened one after another.

"However, although the Zashiki doll is a common little monster, the resentment it has caused for a long time has been equally unimaginable. Now it is just ordinary bad luck. Over time, the lives of those who are close to her may be in danger." Nolan Abe A trace of worry flashed across his face.

Hearing this, the human couple next to them immediately became worried: "Then what should we do? Please help us, two adults!"

If the Zashiki Warashi problem cannot be resolved, then they will have no choice but to move away from the village where they have lived for generations.

Nolan Abe came to her senses and said with relief: "Don't worry, let me and Qingshui go check this matter."

After bidding farewell to the couple, Chloe Chi and Nolan Abe went to another room to discuss the matter alone.

Seeing Yayoi Abe's seemingly relaxed brows mixed with a hint of worry, Chloe Chi couldn't help but ask: "Is the problem serious?"

Nolan Abe's eyes darkened and he nodded hesitantly.

"It stands to reason that after Zashiki doll developed resentment, the most unlucky person must be the family next door who imprisoned her. Now, it is impossible for that family to be vigilant, but they still have not let Zashiki doll go."

"So...I'm very worried, maybe it's not that the family doesn't want to let her go, but that she doesn't want to leave."

"Furthermore, Qingmizu, you and I are both people with spiritual powers. Under normal circumstances, evil spirits cannot get close to us. And we were still affected this morning, which shows that the power of the Zashiki doll is not weak."

Hearing this, Chloe Chi pursed her lips, which would be difficult to handle.

After her thoughts turned to the legend and habits of the Guhuo Bird, Chloe Chi roughly understood the reason why she was lingering around here.

"Then, it seems that the real purpose of that bird is to rescue Zashiki Warashi."

Nolan Abe nodded to agree with her point of view.

"Guhuotiao is a monster that has affection for babies and young children. It is normal to want to do this."

"Forget it, no matter what these two monsters want, we have to go to Hayami's house to find out first." Chloe Chi said.

So, the two got up and prepared to visit Hayami's house. However, when they arrived outside the fence, they found that there was no one at home, probably working in the fields.

The two had no choice but to return and wait for the family to return before taking action.

At dusk, the Hayami couple next door did come back, but the man among them was carried back by the villagers.

As soon as Chloe Chi heard the noise, they looked at each other and ran out immediately.

"Oh! What a misfortune! I broke my leg while walking on the road fine." The villagers who were watching sighed and couldn't bear to look at Taro Hayami's bloody leg.

The woman was lying on her husband's body crying out of breath: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.

Ichiro had a look of pain on his face and kept moaning. When he heard this, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

"It must be her...it must be that monster..." he murmured, but no one around him could hear him clearly.

"Hey, please carry people back to the house quickly, and everyone should go home quickly, otherwise monsters will appear at night!" reminded the old man who was watching.

Someone trembled: "Yes, I heard that there are guhu birds around Zao Jian's house. Let's go back quickly! Otherwise, what will happen if our souls are sucked!"

Hearing this, everyone carried Hayami Taro to the yard and dispersed quickly.

They knew that anyone approaching Hayajian's house would bring bad luck, so no one was willing to carry him into the house.

The woman could not move her husband alone and squatted there anxiously and helplessly, not knowing what to do.

Nolan Abe sighed, and Chloe Chi walked to the yard of Hayami's house.

"Let me help you carry him in." After Nolan Abe said, Chloe Chi also quickly stepped forward to help.

The woman suddenly looked grateful, then she noticed what the two were wearing and froze.

Nolan Abe carried the injured man back to the house and quickly bandaged his wounds.

After that, the woman thanked them and suddenly knelt down to them in tears.

"My lords, please help me!"

Nolan Abe and Chloe Chi looked at each other, and the latter was the first to speak: "Did you and your wife imprison Zashiki Warashi in the house without permission?"

The woman was stunned, but she didn't expect them to guess the truth at once, and she immediately burst into tears and confessed.

It turned out that Zao Jian and his wife were poor and lived a rough life.

One day, Hayami Taro accidentally rescued an injured mage in the mountains.

Seeing that their family was living in difficulty, the Master told them that the Zashiki doll could bring good luck. If they kept the Zashiki doll at home, they would have good fortune in the future.

When the couple heard this, they were immediately moved and asked the mage to help them catch the Zashiki doll, because ordinary adults could not see this kind of monster.

So the mage used other children in the village to attract the Zashiki doll, and set up a barrier to imprison it here.

"After the Zashiki dolls came to our home, our life began to gradually improve over the past year, and we became richer." The woman looked worried, "Later, she was trapped in the room, started crying all the time, and even asked us Angry."

"From more than two months ago, we began to find that our usual good luck seemed to have disappeared, and we began to have bad luck, and nothing went smoothly."

"At that time, we vaguely guessed that the Zashiki doll was taking revenge on us. Taro and I wanted to let her go, but we were unable to break the imprisonment set by the mage."

"After a month like this, not only us, but also our neighbors will have bad luck again and again when they come near us..."

From then on, the couple began to be vaguely shunned and ignored by the people in the village.

"It's not like we haven't asked the Milton for help, but none of them are as powerful as that mage and can't break the confinement."

Chloe Chi and the other two people understood that it was not the Zashiki doll who deliberately stayed to retaliate against the two of them, but that they simply did not have the ability to lift the restriction.

"To this day, Taro broke his leg. This must be the revenge of the Zashiki doll!" the woman said in horror, "Ah! Also, she also called the bird bird, which must want to eat our souls..."

"Two adults, please save us! We really know we were wrong..." The woman sobbed softly.

Nolan Abe and Chloe Chi looked at each other, with a trace of helplessness flashing in their eyes.

Although they are Milton and witches who are responsible for exterminating demons, Chloe Chi wonders why they don't want to help them so much because of this kind of fatal disaster caused by human greed...

But considering that the neighbors around him were innocent, Chloe Chi could only sigh and said with a cold expression: "Get up and let me and the Milton master go take a look."

Hearing this, the woman immediately looked overjoyed and quickly led them to the room where Zashiki was being held.

The room seemed empty at the moment, and the couple had never set foot in that room since Zashiki Warashi was imprisoned.

There were no lights on in the dark room, but Chloe Chi could clearly see some will-o'-the-wisps floating around. She whispered and quickly poked Nolan Abe: "She's in the corner!"

After Yayoi Abe used her spiritual power to activate her spiritual vision, she found Zashiki Warashi squatting in the corner, a little girl who looked about two years old.

As if he felt someone approaching, Zashiki raised his head warily. After keenly smelling the spiritual power on the two of them, he suddenly panicked.

Nolan Abe looked around and groped for the door: "Let me find where the restriction is."

Seeing his actions, Zashiki doll mistakenly thought that this family had invited a powerful Milton to get rid of her, and she burst into tears.

Even though she was a monster, Chloe Chi couldn't help but feel heartbroken by the heart-rending cry.

This early meeting of the couple is too much!

Being imprisoned lonely in an empty room, no matter whether you are a human or a demon, you will not be able to bear it.

"It's strange...it shouldn't be. How come you can't find the restriction?" Yayoi Abe was still frowning and looking for the restriction, when he heard a strong wind blowing outside, causing the leaves to rustle and fall. land.

Under the dark night sky, two dark and wide wings flew across the sky powerfully. A bird demon flew quickly from a distance, landed in the yard and turned into a human form.

When the monster wearing a bamboo hat saw this scene, he immediately pulled out the umbrella sword from his waist with his wings and pointed at the two of them, his eyes were cold.

A voice as cold as ice sounded, warning with a dangerous tone: "Humans... stay away from my children!"

"As long as I'm here, I will never let you hurt the child!"

Nolan Abe was startled and immediately turned around to be on guard. He lowered his voice and said, "Qing Shui, Gu Huotiao was attracted by the cry of the Zashiki doll."
