My wife's name is Platycodon

It is said to be simple because the goal is so pure, and it is said to be difficult because it is difficult to achieve. Even if it is applied to ordinary people, it will only lead to ridicule.

But it is very suitable for Shura of the Underworld.

The Hades Asura continued, "There are many things that are not satisfactory in this world, but I cannot change the world. So after a long period of thinking, I realized one thing: I just need to kill all the things that I don't like. If I kill enough of them, there will be no more things that I don't like in front of me."

The rules of conduct are simple and rough, so anyone who is targeted by the Hades Shura will definitely die. On the contrary, civilians who do not offend him can live well.

"I understand, Hades Shura, how old are you this year?" Kikyo continued to ask.

Hades Shura did not answer, just looked at Kikyo, and the latter looked at him without fear.

After a long while, the voice of Hades Shura came, he looked away and said vaguely: "I'm almost eighteen years old."

This answer undermined his dignity, but Hades Shura did not lie, otherwise it would be a violation of his promise.

Kikyo chuckled.

The laughter was a bit harsh. Hades Shura frowned and said, "You can't judge a wise person by his age. Kikyo, you have to think clearly."

Hearing the word "Suhui", Kikyo was very surprised. Even she had only heard of such people. They were very rare. It could not be said that they were unique, but they could be said to be very few.

In Buddhist scriptures and Shinto texts, such people are regarded as possessing innate wisdom and are considered reincarnations.

Kikyo heard the warning from Hades Shura but didn't take it to heart. She said, "I am also a resurrected dead person, and I was already eighteen years old when I was alive."

The Asura of the Underworld suddenly stood up, casting a shadow over the thin witch. His body had been bathed in the blood of monsters. He was 1.87 meters tall and looked very imposing.

Kikyo could see at a glance that Hades Shura was a coward, but she had no intention of taking advantage of him, nor did she try to use her age to suppress him.

However, she was still very surprised in her heart, as the age of Hades Shura was indeed beyond her expectations.

"It's just that I thought you were older." Kikyo sat quietly with her eyes slightly closed.

He is indeed a wise man, possessing innate wisdom.

So she is the older sister?

But it's not bad. Kikyo suddenly felt a sense of responsibility.

"Please sit down and talk." Kikyo pointed with her slender hand and said.

Hades Shura sat there expressionlessly. Kikyo's attitude towards him changed subtly. Hades Shura was a little annoyed. He would have said nothing if he had known this earlier.

Kikyo found Hades Shura's reaction very interesting and smiled slightly: "Okay, no need to stare at me like that, now let's get to the point."

"Can you tell me about your current state of mind?"

The Hades Shura said bluntly: "Kill people! I really want to kill people!"

Kikyo shook her head: "Don't tell me, ask yourself."

The Hades Shura snorted: "It's still killing people."

Kikyo couldn't help but sigh: "Is it already so serious?"

Hades Shura turned his head slightly, and he also realized that he was suffering from a serious mental illness.

Life gradually lost its meaning in his eyes, just like a butcher in a slaughterhouse. A novice butcher would be very nervous when killing his first pig and would be saddened by the pig's wailing before death.

But after killing hundreds of pigs, the butcher will become accustomed to it all and regard it as normal, as easy and ordinary as eating and drinking.

“Can you control this behavior?”

"Will you control yourself from eating?"

When killing became a habit, when someone stood in front of him, his subconscious action would be to tear the other person apart.

The Asura of Hades glanced at Kikyo from time to time, then quickly looked away.

Only when facing this woman, I don't need to suppress my impulses, but can communicate with her easily and happily, and feel comfortable in my heart.

However, Hades Shura was a little hesitant, not knowing whether he should tell Kikyo about this.

If it's Platycodon grandiflorum...

Before he finished thinking, Kikyo stood up and said to Hades Shura in a gentle voice: "I treat soldiers after the war. Your situation is somewhat similar to theirs, but your power is too strong, so it may be more difficult to heal. But before that, I will always be by your side, don't worry."

Her voice seems to have a magical power. Her shrine maiden costume, white on top and red on the bottom, is calm and elegant, and her smile is warm and soothing.

"Is this the answer to all the questions you asked me?"

Kikyo was a little stunned at first, but soon smiled and said, "No, I'm just a little curious about you."

Chapter 15: Hypnosis

Kikyo was a fairly frank shrine maiden who neither evaded nor denied.

"But I already know how to heal you." Kikyo thought, lowered her head and stared at her white fingertips, "Underworld Shura, do you know hypnosis?"

Hearing this, Hades Shura was slightly surprised. He first stared at Kikyo and realized that she was serious, then he said, "Are you going to use this method on me?"

Kikyo nodded slightly. This was a special method that had a mysterious color but had a bad reputation because it could easily make people think of evil things.

Many terms such as distorted personality and sealed memory were born from this.

But she is a witch, and even if she mastered this method, she would only use it for the right purpose.

Kikyo said calmly: "If you use this method, I can give you a hint to dissolve your murderous instinct and habit."

Hades Shura had some concerns. He had never come across this kind of method. When he heard Kikyo mention it, although he felt a little scared, Kikyo did not give him the sense of threat.

The witch really didn't want to hurt him, but the Asura of the Underworld was unsure.

He asked another question: "How good are you at using hypnosis?"

Kikyo smiled softly and said, "Why, even you can't get rid of the fear of being controlled by others?"

The Hades Shura said indignantly: "I am just worried that you will cause my personality to split, change my subconscious, or turn me into a saint with the world in mind."

"No, this will not affect your spiritual body, but will leave a few warnings in your spiritual world to alert you every time you kill."

Kikyo explained it very completely. This is not a process of getting deeply into people's hearts, but a superficial trick. Hades Shura has a strong will and a strong spirit. Without his cooperation, there is no force that can invade his heart under normal circumstances.

Hades Shura was in a state of hesitation. If it were normal times, he would definitely stay away from such a method. He didn't know much about hypnosis, but he knew it was a way to change the mind. Moreover, the spiritual world was full of twists and turns, and the realm of consciousness was even more mysterious. If he was not careful, big problems would occur.

But can we just keep dragging it on like this?

He knew his own business well. Unless he stayed away from the world from now on, he would really become a demon who killed people without blinking an eye. This was his clear understanding of himself. He was a murderer by nature. Not long ago, he almost killed innocent people due to an impulse, which made him sweat profusely.

Kikyo's origins are mysterious, but she is definitely the strongest among all the priests, shrine maidens, and wizards he has ever met. If he misses this opportunity, who would know how to use this method? Even if they do, can he trust others? Who knows, there might really be no other way.

Finally, Hades Shura made up his mind and looked determined.

"Start now?"

Kikyo was surprised to see that Hades Shura made a decision so quickly.

She felt that the Asura of the Underworld must be aware of the dangers of hypnosis, a sorcery that people feared as much as lions and tigers because it could control people's minds. But even so, he agreed.

The Shura of Hades is indeed a strong man with a strong heart.

"Wait for a full moon to come, that's when I'll be at my best."

Kikyo said this and bowed to take her leave.

But it is a pity that if Platycodon observes the stars at night, there will be no full moon in the next few days.

It was another late night, with a waxing moon.

Kikyo came to the river again and needed to replace the dead soul in her body.

The dead soul worms paddled their six legs and flew over whimpering. Each white little worm brought with it a group of dead girl's souls, which were part of the soul of the deceased girl.

In this world, there is such a thing as a dead soul, which has nothing to do with reincarnation. It is the manifestation of the soul, not its structure. It is a strange power that is naturally born after the human body dies.

A dead soul cannot make a person stronger, because its power cannot be absorbed, and its final destination is neither hell nor the kingdom of God, but will gradually dissipate between heaven and earth.

For Kikyo, the dead soul is more like a lubricant between her and this cold body in the grave. Filling her body with false souls allows her to move freely. However, the disadvantage is that it needs to be replaced every three to five days.

Just because her soul no longer belongs to her.

At this moment, a group of people came following the trail of the dead soul worm.

These people are the girl Kagome Higurashi who traveled from modern society, the half-demon Inuyasha, the wizard Miroku, and the little fox Shippo.

He accepted a commission from a wealthy family to investigate the whereabouts of the girl's dead soul.

People have always been in awe of the soul. Although dead souls are not involved in reincarnation and cannot be exploited by monsters, people still hope that the dead souls of their loved ones can be purified naturally and dissipated between heaven and earth.

It is said that this will allow the dead to rest in peace.

When they came to the village where Hades Shura and Kikyo lived, Inuyasha clearly felt an inexplicable pressure coming from the forest ahead.

It was an inexplicable aura similar to demonic energy, with an extremely strong sense of oppression, spreading all around, as if it was everywhere.

Miroku and Inuyasha, who were on their way, suddenly stopped.

Kagome Higurashi was only a fifteen-year-old junior high school student. She was weak and could not keep up with the flying speed of the Soul-Dead Bug, so she was carried on Inuyasha's back and landed lightly on the ground.

As a small monster, Shippo was very familiar with this situation. He jumped off Kagome Higurashi's shoulder and shouted to Inuyasha: "Inuyasha! Inuyasha! There is a big monster's territory ahead."

After Inuyasha put Kagome down, he carried Tessaiga with a confident look on his face, his dog ears erected: "Tsk, what big monster is blocking the way? Look, I'm going to chop him up."

Kagome and Miroku looked at Inuyasha speechlessly, as stupid as ever.

Miroku pointed at the dead soul bugs that landed in the forest ahead and said, "We have reached our destination!"

Kagome looked ahead in embarrassment. She had spent some time in the Warring States Period and had experienced many monsters, but this was the first time she had seen such an aura. It almost enveloped the entire forest.

She was born with powerful spiritual power and keen senses. She could sense that this aura was somewhat different from that of other monsters, but she couldn't tell where the difference was. She instinctively sensed uneasiness.

Qibao also said solemnly: "Yes, I don't know what kind of monster wants to collect these dead souls."

Strictly speaking, this kind of momentum had the strongest suppressive power on him. Just being close to it made him feel a little difficult to breathe.

Qibao is a fox, about seven or eight years old like a human, but very young. Due to his lack of cultivation, his human form is incomplete. He has a half-human, half-fox appearance and a fluffy tail.

Inuyasha, on the other hand, showed no signs of abnormality. He strode into the forest carrying Tessaiga and said in a careless manner, "Wait until I knock him down, and then you'll know the reason!"

"But I think I should observe the situation first..." Before Kagome could finish her words, Inuyasha had disappeared. She immediately hit her head in pain and hurried to catch up.

Miroku sighed. As the only sober wizard in the team, how could he not sense the strong smell of blood in the forest? Inuyasha must have noticed it a long time ago, but he still rushed forward stubbornly.

Fortunately, I’m used to it!

Then Maitreya followed in.

The little fox Qibao swallowed his saliva and looked guiltily at the dark jungle. He had clearly walked into the jungle but could not hear any sound from his three teammates, as if they had all disappeared.

Everything is quiet here, with only the cold wind whistling, the leaves rustling, the shadows flickering, and the claws and fangs baring, which make people feel inexplicably chilled, as if a predatory beast is lurking at the end of the dense forest.

Shippo's tail wagging and legs trembling, he followed reluctantly, praying that Inuyasha could perform a miracle this time.

Chapter 16: I shouldn't be in the car, I should be under the car

Since they have formed a team, they are companions to each other. Neither Qibao nor Maitreya can abandon their companions.

Although Inuyasha is a half-demon, stupid, stubborn, always snatching food from him, no manners, bullying children, but he is generous and has never cared about such trivial matters. But if Inuyasha unfortunately died in the battle, he would at least bring Kagome back.

He quickly caught up, but the further he went, the more guilty he felt. His limbs felt inexplicably weak, and he felt like he had entered a place he shouldn't have been to. The smell of blood was too strong, and there wasn't even any trace of evil spirits here.

In front of Qibao is Maitreya, a monk with an ordinary appearance, holding a Zen staff. Although he has the same name as a great god in Buddhism, it is really just a name.

He joined the team halfway through, and not only did he and Inuyasha share similar interests, they also had a common enemy.

"Mi... Maitreya, do you feel this place is weird?" Qibao moved his limbs, rushed over desperately, jumped on Maitreya's shoulder, and was really unwilling to take a few more steps!

It wasn't that he was lazy, but this place really gave him a bad feeling. He couldn't muster any strength. The environment here made it difficult for a little monster like him to maintain his strength.

Maitreya also noticed this. As the only brain of the team, he only had magic power, not demon power. But Qibao's appearance was very conspicuous. The big tail trembled unconsciously. That was not a normal behavior, but more like encountering some kind of natural enemy.

"Qibao, are you scared?"

Shippo grabbed Miroku's collar tightly and said, "I...I'm not scared. Anyway, Miroku, let's get Inuyasha here and get out of here."

Miroku wanted to complain, but when he saw Shippo's look, he suddenly got a headache: "You don't even realize that your body is afraid."

It looks like the water is very deep. Is the environment here for monsters? So the monster power here is almost non-existent, so Kagome and I, as humans, didn't notice it, and Inuyasha is also a half-monster...

Miroku quickly sorted out the situation and murmured, "It seems that the one staying here may not be a monster, but may be something else."
