Looking at the fruit that Lingye handed over, Ai hesitated for a moment, which was unusual.
I've never seen it before. It's like a piece of soap.
And it stinks.
"The durian grown by Tian Xiegui in the Sky Farm may smell bad at first, but it is very sweet if you taste it."
The reason why it is durian is because it is one of Lingye’s favorite fruits.
"Thank you."
I took it, took a bite, and it was indeed very sweet.
And although it smells stinky, it tastes really different. The stinky smell turns into a richer taste.
It feels a little strange.
"If you also like durian, we can be friends."
?
Ling didn't take a hot spring bath either. She didn't want to change clothes because it was too troublesome. Of course, she wouldn't follow Xiao Ai's example and go into the water with her clothes on.
That's evil!
So she just took off her shoes, sat on the shore, and soaked her feet and calves in the hot spring.
The water temperature is really comfortable.
Then Lingye suddenly remembered something!
"Love, you took a bath without changing your clothes. Could it be that you don't have any clean clothes?"
Her outer kimono was the embodiment of order, unstained by dust, but the white dress underneath was not.
Because there is no spare clothes, so he took the clothes with him when he took a shower? If you think about it carefully, it is possible that this is the case.
So pathetic!
"Come with me, I'll let Chiyo take your measurements and make you some clothes!"
With Zhishi's help, you can change into various styles of clothes. You no longer have to wash clothes while taking a shower.
Love takes a step forward, not to order clothes, but because the time has come.
"what happened?"
"I have a commission."
At the same time, a computer in the hut next to me started to make a ding-dong sound, with several messages coming in. Or maybe dozens of messages.
It's twelve o'clock midnight, time to work.
But the essence of love has not left.
Even if multiple people click on Hell Communication at the same time, she can appear in front of everyone at the same time after the rules are triggered.
The art of clones is not quite accurate. Each one is her. This is the embodiment of rules.
But Ling suddenly had an idea, because she realized that the person who triggered the rules today was someone she knew.
"Can you give that person to me?"
Ai nodded without saying anything. Lingye is also a Jigoku Shoujo, which is allowed by the rules.
At midnight, ZAT team base
"Captain, is this really possible?"
Kotaro's phone was logged into Hell Communication, and Captain Asahina's name was written on it.
Yutaro Asahina
"Don't dilly-dally. If you don't have any hatred, you'll be back soon. Or do you hate me very much, Kotaro?"
"No, of course there is no such thing, it's just..."
After all, it is something that nothing is known about, a legend, a myth, or a ghost story.
Although according to the results of previous surveys, most people, even if they have encountered it, would only talk about it among friends and on the Internet, and some even actively want to go to the so-called "Yellow Springs to check in."
But there were deaths during these months. Twelve people were officially recorded as dead, all of whom committed self-harm after going crazy.
As for others who have mental problems requiring medical intervention, according to incomplete statistics, the number has exceeded 300.
So even the ZAT team had to take it seriously.
After finding out that this so-called "Hell Communication" was not a joke but a real strange incident, ZAT also had to start an investigation.
Asahina asked Kotaro to write her name, because besides herself, Kotaro was the one he trusted the most. He believed that no matter what happened, Kotaro should be able to handle it well, at least to protect himself.
According to the rules, hatred is a double-edged sword. Both the person being written about and the person writing about others will be sent to that underworld.
The others were on guard nearby. Ueno was a little nervous and even pulled out his ZAT gun.
"Captain, why don't you let Kotaro write my name?" Araki interrupted.
"No, it's just Kotaro and I. That's an order."
The minute hand is about to jump to 01 minute, time is about to run out!
Kotaro gritted his teeth and pressed the confirm button.
Just like being given an injection by an anesthesiologist, Kotaro and Captain Asahina couldn't hold on for even a second and fell asleep together.
But this is not the case from Kotaro and Asahina's perspective.
After pressing the confirm button, Kotaro found himself lying on a small boat.
Just as the rumor said, we were sailing on the blue water. The river was not wide, but we couldn't see the scenery on both sides of the river clearly because of the thick fog. A girl was rowing.
"Hell Girl...ah? Reiya! No, you are Hell Girl, right? Why did you become Reiya?!"
Kotaro was surprised to find that the person who appeared in front of him was not Hell Girl, but the legendary Enma Ai!
The hell girl in the urban legend does not look like this. She is a girl with waist-length black hair, red eyes, and looks like a junior high school student.
These ZAT teams have already investigated them.
No matter what, they are not elementary school students! Elementary school students are little girls from hell!
Besides, Lingye is Gaia, how can Gaia be Hell Girl!
"Kotaro, I think you are thinking about something rude!" Ling said while paddling.
The black boat was sailing on the green waves of the Wangchuan River. Except for the sound of oars and waves, the surroundings were completely quiet.
From time to time, you can see some white lanterns drifting down the river. Names are written on the white lanterns with ink, but the specific names are unclear because the handwriting is moving.
"Are you really Reiya? That doesn't make sense. What are you doing here?"
“It’s a part-time job.”
This is really new. It's okay for ordinary sightseeing tours like being a navigator on the Venice River to work part-time, but can the ferryman of the underworld also work part-time?
"Kotaro, what are you doing here? And you cursed your own captain. Captain Asahina is obviously a good person. You are guilty of insubordination and will be sentenced to ten years in prison!"
"Oh, please don't!"
Kotaro has discovered that this is not his real body, soul, or consciousness. In short, he cannot become Taro.
"We are here to investigate 'Hell Girl'. In recent months, there have been quite a few cases of people going crazy or even committing suicide because of Hell Girl, which has attracted the attention of ZAT."
This is natural. These weird things are part of ZAT's job.
“Those who commit suicide are not good people, right?”
Generally speaking, good people would not be hated to this extent. Even if there is a real grudge between them, they would generally only be locked up for a day or two. If they are really crazy, they might be locked up for ten days or half a month. How much hatred and resentment must there be for this?
"That's true. We understand that they are not good people."
Those who lend money at high interest rates and force families to be broken up, those who maliciously kill people and escape punishment, generally speaking, those who have not killed anyone will not be hated to this extent.
"But even so, we shouldn't let weirdness override the law."
The law protects fairness, but this is an ideal state and the ultimate goal. At present, it first maintains order and makes people live within certain rules as much as possible. Regardless of whether this rule is unreasonable in a specific situation, at least it is written in black and white in the form of articles and publicized in advance.
On the premise of abiding by the rules, the next thing to do is to pursue fairness and justice.
The existence of Jigoku Shoujo undoubtedly broke the rules, using power other than science to create another set of rules that override the law. This kind of thing is not allowed.
“But this is already the best solution.”
"The best solution?"
Ling did not answer immediately, but looked at the never-setting sunset on the distant horizon.
"What do you think that is?"
What is it? Kotaro is confused. Isn't that the sun? To be more precise, it is the setting sun.
Or it may be called setting sun or sunset, no matter what it is called, isn’t it the star that we can see every day?
"That's not the star at the center of the solar system. It's the Rule of Death, which was once part of Zoda."
"Zuda?!"
I thought it was just an ordinary urban legend, how did it get involved with that person?
If it was someone else who said it, Kotaro would definitely not believe it, but it was Reiya, Gaia, who was saying it. So after making sure she wasn't joking, Kotaro had to believe it.
Chapter 415: Make the World More Lively
As an immortal law of death, it can only be sealed and cannot be completely eliminated.
The so-called Hell Girls are the heroic spirits who once fought against the King of Hell. They are not souls, but the great aspirations of the light of humanity.
Kindness, courage, strength, compassion, all those beautiful emotions.
The King of Hell has been sealed for more than a thousand years, and today, more than a thousand years later, it has still modified the rules of death to the greatest extent for mankind.
It is because of them that the rules that once brought inevitable death have now become so warm, as if it were just a game.
This is indeed the optimal solution.
Even if Ling Ye takes action personally, she may not be able to do better.
Xiao Ai, she calls herself Yan Mo Ai, because she also contains the rules of the King of Hell. But she is not a curse.
