The Demon’s Menu

Vol 4 Chapter 12: Domoriji Temple

　　 The light in the dark comes from a lantern.

　　The white and yellow rice paper is the skin, supported by four layers of inner bones, and the candlelight fixes the middle, bringing a touch of light to the darkness.

　　 also illuminates the big "no" on the rice paper.

　　 The character ‘No’ written with a brush is very conspicuous and attracts people’s attention under the light of candlelight.

　　 Hui Lijing is attracted by this word.

　　 But Hui Lijing’s scream is not because of this word.

　　 It was the hand and the person she saw along the thin bamboo pole that raised the lantern.

　　The thin bamboo pole has already become yellow-green, yellow occupies most of it, only the root node has a touch of green, which is revealed from the gap of a gray-white palm.

　　 Apart from the color of the palm, it is no doubt with ordinary people.

　　 is neither slender nor stout.

　　 is ordinary people.

　　 is like the other half of the face exposed by the candlelight.

　　 just follows the opponent's footsteps, when the opponent's face is exposed, it makes people feel a chill in the back.

　　 On the side of that half of the normal face is...skeleton.

　　 Not only the face is a skeleton.

　　 This half of the opponent's body is also a skeleton.

　　 Half-human, half-skeleton walking in the dark, bright and dark under the light of candlelight.

　　 Suddenly, the shocking scene became more and more weird.

　　 Especially when the other person is holding a lantern, looking into the car and smiling.

　　 Hui Lijing’s scream stopped abruptly.

　　 There is only one left--

　　 "This, this, this..."

　　 Hui Lijing wanted to say a complete sentence to express her thoughts at this time.

　　 But the words reached the lips, but they couldn't say it at all.

　　 And at this moment, Jason's voice came from her ear.

　　 "Turn on the high beam."

　　 The voice is not hurried or slow, with Jason's unique indifference.

　　 Such a lightness convinced Hui Lijing's instinctive choice.

　　 Click!

　　 The high beams of the car were turned on, bright enough to dazzle, shrouded the half-human and half-skeleton inside.

　　 Immediately, the half-human half-skeleton smile froze.

　　 It has anticipated many situations, but such a situation, it really did not expect it.

　　 Enduring the harsh pain, the half-human half-skeleton stepped away from the range of the high beam.

　　 Although the half-human half-skeleton was already very careful, Hui Lijing saw this obvious move.

　　 "Does it shoot high beams?"

　　 Hui Lijing asked in a daze.

　　 "You are afraid of taking pictures."

　　 Jason answered.

　　 "But, but... shouldn't it be a monster?"

　　 "How can a monster be afraid of high beams?"

　　 Hui Lijing is still a bit unacceptable.

　　 "A monster is also a kind of creature. After being illuminated by the high beam, it naturally follows the instinct of the creature-just as I am not afraid of a certain degree of attack, but when I eat chili, I can still feel spicy."

　　 Jason continued to answer.

　　 "Jason, are you saying that everything follows biological instincts?"

　　 Hui Lijing has a real understanding.

　　 "You can also understand that the northerners were shivering from the cold while they were wintering in the south."

　　 Jason said, pushed the car door and got out of the car.

　　 And Hui Lijing, who was still enlightened, was stunned again.

What does 　　 mean?

　　 She was completely lost.

　　 However, after seeing Jason push the door and get out of the car, Hui Lijing immediately followed.

　　 Of course, she did not forget to bring a weapon.

　　 The half-human, half-skeleton existence has been waiting by the car. After seeing Jason and Hui Lijing getting out of the car, they immediately saluted very politely.

　　 "The little monk has met Your Excellency Jason, Detective Hui Lijing."

　　 The other party's voice is sweet and elegant, if it is not shocking, it is definitely personable.

　　 And Hui Lijing's gaze was on the top of the other person's head.

　　 is on the side of the person, and has short, thin hair.

　　 Hui Lijing’s focus is on these hairs.

　　 Shouldn't the monk be bald?

　　 Perhaps seeing Hui Lijing’s question, the half-human half-skeleton who claimed to be a little monk showed a smile, and replied very gently: "The little monk is practicing with hair and has not reached the level of shavedness."

　　 "So, are you afraid of high beams?"

　　 Hui Lijing asked straightforwardly.

　　 The half-human, half-skeleton with a smile, his smile stiffened.

　　 "Even if you are a monk, you are afraid of high beams."

　　 The half-human and half-skeleton monk held back his temper and explained.

　　 "In other words, you are not as good as the high beam?"

　　 Hui Lijing continued to ask.

　　 This time, the half-human half-skeleton who claimed to be a little monk couldn't help it.

　　 It's completely human side, obviously showing anger.

　　 "Detective Hui Lijing, are you provoking me?"

　　 half-human half-skeleton asked gloomily.

"what?"

　　 "Is it discovered?"

　　 Hui Lijing looked at the half-human and half-skeleton in surprise. The expression of ‘how can I find out that you have an IQ” completely angered the half-human and half-skeleton who claimed to be a monk.

Roar!

　　 The opponent let out a roar like a beast, and rushed towards Hui Lijing.

　　 Then--

　　 bang, bang!

　　 Hui Lijing's pistol pulled the trigger again and again.

　　 Under the gun fire, the half-human half-skeleton backed back, but it was obvious and not fatal.

　　 "Do you think such shooting is useful for me?"

　　 "You too underestimated my practice as a monk."

　　 "I...fuck!"

　　 The half-human, half-skeleton existence faced Hui Lijing's shooting and couldn't help but sneer, but before it was finished, Hui Lijing smiled and pointed to the ground.

　　 The half-human, half-skeleton existence looked down and was completely stunned.

　　Because, a grenade that pulled the ring, I don't know when it appeared at its feet.

　　 Boom!

　　 The grenade exploded, shock waves and shrapnel raged around.

　　 Hui Lijing put away the gun, turned to look at Jason, and came to praise me.

　　 She remembered what Jason said just now.

　　‘How should I purify if I encounter a monster? ’

　　‘Guns and explosives! ’

　　‘If it doesn’t work, try a larger caliber. ’

　　 Because of Jason's guidance, when she just got out of the car, she deliberately took four grenades and hid them under her leather jacket.

　　 "Not bad."

　　 Jason praised.

　　 This is telling the truth.

　　Hui Lijing's strain is quite good, especially the technique of throwing grenade, obviously has considerable skill, a bit like the throwing technique in [Gryphon Shooting], but at the entry level.

　　 may be able to teach the opponent 【Gryphon Shooting】.

　　 Jason thought like this.

　　 And in the gunpowder smoke from the previous grenade explosion, there was the sound of bones clicking, a strong smell of blood spread, and also the cold and murderous voice spread out together—

　　 "The little monk treats people with courtesy, but you are aggressive. In that case..."

　　 Jason raised his hand and pointed.

　　 The force field of [Protection from Evil] shrouded, and suddenly, the cold and murderous voice disappeared completely.

　　 There is only the sound of decayed bones.

　　 Hui Lijing stared at this scene with her eyes wide open.

　　 Although Jason has always claimed to be an exorcist, but Go also showed extraordinary performance.

　　 But compared to the previous extraordinary and the finger in front of me, it is really nothing.

　　 "Jason, what was it just now?"

　　 "A death finger?"

　　 "Can I learn?"

　　 Hui Lijing asked.

　　 "No."

　　 "Secret."

　　 Jason said, he strode towards the market. He had already seen the temple named ‘Tong Shou Temple’.

　　 As for the half-human half-skeleton who just called himself a monk?

　　 Jason didn't pay attention to the other party's words.

　　 What to treat people with courtesy.

　　What kind of practice.

　　 If you really believed the other party, Jason would have died in the city that never sleeps.

　　 The cold killing intent that the other party showed last, Jason can be sure that the other party's presence here is unkind.

　　 In other words, will the monsters who appear here have kindness?

　　 just kidding.

　　 But, Jason felt a pity for one thing.

　　 The other party didn't even have the slightest breath of ‘food’.

　　 There is no other party’s lantern either.

"Wait for me!"

　　 Hui Lijing ran away while talking and picked up the lantern.

In the explosion just now, the lantern was blown off and fell on the ground in the distance. However, this lantern was obviously specially made. Not only was the workmanship exquisite, but it was obviously the outer skin of rice paper. Under the burning, it is completely fine.

　　 When Hui Lijing picked it up, the candlelight ignited naturally.

　　 Holding the lantern, Hui Lijing quickly caught up with Jason.

　　 "This lantern is very good."

　　 Hui Lijing said.

　　 "Then keep it."

　　 "Maybe it's for you."

　　 Jason said so.

　　 Hui Lijing, who was still happy, was taken aback immediately, and the pace of her advancement was also a pause.

　　 She turned to look at the car behind her, and the two low pillars blocking the car-these two pillars were specially designed by the market to prevent vehicles.

　　 These are of course nothing.

　　 But following Jason's words, Hui Lijing discovered something unusual.

　　 That half-human, half-skeleton existence seems to be here waiting for them?

　　 Otherwise, how could it be a coincidence that the other party appeared just after they arrived here?

　　 Thinking of this, Hui Lijing chased up and asked.

　　 "Is it waiting for us here?"

　　 "Who knows?"

　　 "Maybe it is waiting for us."

　　 "Maybe it's... taking advantage of the fire."

　　 Jason's words made Hui Lijing more uneasy. She instinctively looked around, except for the area illuminated by the lantern, it was pitch black.

　　 Even in the middle of the night, the darkness is too much.

　　 There is still sky!

　　 There are no stars and no moon!

　　 It's just dusk before Ming Ming!

　　 When did this change?

　　 It seems, seems to be... while playing nursery rhymes [Sunset]?

　　 Everything seems to be different since then!

　　 Hui Lijing thought, but there was a ‘squeak’ in her ear.

　　 That is the sound of a wooden door opening.

　　In the distance, the door of Tongshou Temple opened. A kind-eyed old monk stood in the temple and watched the approaching Jason and Hui Lijing saluting their hands together.

　　 "You two are finally here."

　　 "I and everyone have been waiting for a long time."

"quickly come."

　　 With such words, the old monk turned and walked into the temple.

　　 Hui Lijing did not act, turned her head to look at Jason.

　　 Jason looked at Tongshou Temple.

　　Although he did not cross the threshold, Jason had already seen the whole picture of Tongshou Temple. The main hall door directly opposite was open, and a golden Buddha statue looked gentle and kind under the light.

　　 The door of the side hall on the left is open, with lights on.

　　 The door of the side hall on the right is closed, completely dark.

　　The old monk is walking towards the hall at the moment.

　　 Then, under Jason's gaze, the other party bypassed the Golden Buddha and disappeared from Jason's field of vision.

"what should we do?"

　　 Hui Lijing asked.

　　 Jason didn't answer, he moved his nose to confirm.

　　 About two or three seconds later, Jason stepped into Tongshou Temple.

　　 Hui Lijing followed closely.

　　 Jason did not go to the side halls on both sides, but walked straight to the main hall. After bypassing the golden Buddha, Hui Lijing who followed Jason involuntarily said.

"what!"

　　 The original old monk did not see it.

　　 What I saw was...Ryosuke!

　　 The middle-aged criminal policeman who met in the afternoon was in a coma while leaning against the Buddhist altar.

　　 There were obvious gunshot wounds on the arm and shoulder.

　　 Besides, there is only one small door.

　　 There is a lock on the small door.

　　 Jason checked the lock. It is completely metal and has most of the characteristics of a lock, but it does not have a keyhole.

　　In other words, the lock is solid.

　　 Or rather unintentionally.

　　 Such a result made Jason frowned.

　　 When Jason frowned, Hui Lijing helped Ryosuke deal with the wound.

　　 At the same time, Hui Lijing made a discovery.

　　 "Jason, here is a letter!"

　　 "It's behind Officer Ryosuke!"

　　 Hui Lijing picked up an envelope.

　　 After confirming that there were no traps, Jason accepted the letter. After opening it, a piece of letter paper appeared, with a very beautiful little letter written on it——

　　Mr. Jason and Ms. Hui Lijing welcome you.

　　 Some changes have taken place in the Tongshou Temple, and the strength of two people is needed to overcome the difficulties together.

Please do not worry.

　　 is not too life-threatening.

　　 Also, Police Officer Ryosuke will also be the help of the two.

　　 Please three people work together.

　　The poor unknown monk

　　……

　　 "To overcome the difficulties together?"

　　 Hui Lijing rolled her head and glanced at the letter paper, frowning.

　　 She always feels that this ‘unknown monk’ is playing mystery.

　　 Although the situation in front of us is very strange~www.wuxiaspot.com~, it is not a problem, right?
