Chapter X: List of Deaths
For an ordinary person, when he suddenly hears "there is indeed death in this world", only 99 out of 100 people are afraid that the other party will think that there is something wrong with the other party's brain. As for the actors, let alone what kind of "death" they are, even if they say that there are gods and Buddhas in this world, there will be no reaction.
So, what about the godless Yuko?
It can be determined that the godless family is not an ordinary family.
This is a family of onmyoji. In fact, the cast of this movie is not weak, they are all a few newly rising onmyoji in Dongying medium-sized cinemas, and they are qualified to star in a ghost gate movie, which is enough to prove their strength.
The heyday of Onmyoji was during the Heian period in Japan. In the so-called Heian period, Emperor Kanmu moved the capital from Heijokyo to Heianjing, and Heiankyo is now Kyoto. In the Heian period, legend has it that it was an era of a hundred ghosts walking at night, and the extremely famous onmyoji in history, A/Bei Harumi, was a person from that era. In that era, the status of the Onmyoji was extremely extraordinary, even if it was the emperor and the general of the Seiyi, he would give three points to the onmyoji. In the era of the night walk of the hundred ghosts, human beings can only rely on the onmyoji to fight against all kinds of ghosts.
However, even so, today's Japan is no longer the era of the night of the hundred ghosts, but the era of the peak of science, which is also called the "era of the end of the law". Nowadays, Onmyoji is far away from the political center and has become less and less openly active. Especially after Japan's defeat in World War II, the atomic bomb made ordinary Japanese people see the horror of nuclear weapons clearly, and the real nuclear horror is obviously more terrifying than the ghosts and evil spirits.
If you really want to talk about death...... What the Japanese really regarded as the god of death was the two atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that year. Japan succumbed to the deterrence of the atomic bomb and chose to surrender. The emperor is no longer a god. Nowadays it can only be seen as a spiritual symbol. Although the economy of Japan is now recovering. However, they no longer have the power to own the army, and their economy and politics are greatly constrained by the United States.
For the godless Yuko, the "Grim Reaper" is a concept that exists only in the symbolic sense of mythology. She had never seen a real youkai ghost since she was born, but she did know that her family was a family that rose in the Heian period and was valued by the emperor.
"Death...... Is there really such a thing as a Grim Reaper? Yuan Xuexun's current tone seemed "unbelievable": "Big brother, this kind of thing is too absurd, isn't it?" ”
"Yuko. It's true. From ancient times to the present day, the Grim Reaper has always existed. Famines, plagues, wars, everything is caused by the presence of death. Look at this map...... All the red dots inside are a series of unusual deaths that have occurred in Kyoto. ”
"Hmm...... I know that there have been quite a few deaths recently......"
"These deaths are all abnormal." Pointing to the map above, Ye Xiang said: "The common denominator of the cases lies in the ...... The time of death determined by the forensic doctor is the same as the time when the last witness saw the deceased. It doesn't match ......."
"You...... What do you mean? ”
"To put it simply...... There were people, after the death of these deceased. I've seen 'them'! ”
The atmosphere in the room seems to have dropped by dozens of degrees.
For Yuan Xuexun, this kind of supernatural phenomenon has long become commonplace, but for the godless Xizi who has not really been in contact with the supernatural, it is an extremely terrifying thing.
"Big ...... Eldest brother...... You, don't scare me......"
"So I don't want to tell you." Ye Xiang sighed, then pointed to the location of the godless shrine on the map, and said, "Each red dot represents an abnormal death event, and the center of these death events is where our shrine is located!" ”
"This ...... No, I've never seen anything like this in the newspapers! ”
"Do you think the government will easily publicize this anomaly? Naturally, people in the police department will not be open to the media. ”
"But......" Yuan Xuexun pointed to the map, and then pointed to Ye Xiang, "That's not right...... If the police department is not open to the public, how would you know about this? ”
"You seem to have forgotten...... I'm Onmyoji, Yuko. I never told you, in fact, I have been in contact with the police for so many years. I relied on the ability of the Onmyoji to assist them in solving the case, and all the credit for the aftermath was naturally given to them, and I would not mention me in the newspapers, but as a condition, I hope that they will do their best to help me investigate the disappearance of my parents. After my parents disappeared, I found some of the notes that my parents had hidden, and found some clues on them. ”
"The so-called 'clue' is...... Grim Reaper? ”
The resurrection of the dead, the ...... of death This concept is still difficult for people born into the Onmyoji family to understand.
"Big brother...... Does the Grim Reaper really exist? At this time, the godless group began to question: "If there really is a god of death, then is the life and death of human beings determined by the so-called god of death?" Is war because of death? Is it because of the Grim Reaper that our country will encounter the atomic bomb? Will we be defeated in war because of the Grim Reaper? No way? It's all decided by those politicians! ”
In fact, in World War II, the emperor was responsible for the war. However, in order to better control Japan after the war, the United States finally chose to retain the emperor system, and did not hold the emperor responsible for the war, and even included Prince Hatohiko of Asakanomiya, who was directly responsible for the Nanjing Massacre.
Frankly speaking, Yuan Xuexun is extremely disgusted by the lines of the Godless Group at the moment! Her words were as if the responsibility for the war was not initiated by Japan at all, and the Japanese only thought about how many lives of their citizens were taken by the atomic bomb, and how many innocent civilians they slaughtered in foreign land. The so-called "Japanese are also victims of war"? It was these people who set foot on the soil of China one by one with the idea of fighting for the emperor and slaughtered them without any conscience! Now, Tian shamelessly pays homage to war criminals and completely whitewashes his crimes of aggression!
"In China, too, we have committed all kinds of murderous acts." Ye Xiang said this sentence at this time, this is a line that the script does not have, after all, just like revising a Japanese textbook, Dongying Cinema Line will naturally not let such lines appear in the movie script. At their level, it is permissible to make minor changes to the script to a certain extent where only the details are involved. Of course, this also requires a redemption ticket.
And Ye wanted to say so. He was sure that the 90s was a period of good relations between China and Japan, and according to the time calculation, just last year (1995), Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama also visited China and visited the Lugou Bridge Memorial Hall. At this time, the ordinary people of Japan should also fully understand and have an apology mentality for the war of aggression against China.
And...... Say this line, even if it is NG, Ye Xiang thinks it's worth it! After all, with the redemption coupon given to him by Yao Shichen, he can afford to consume it!
Sure enough, as soon as this line came out, there was no NG. Ye Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the judgment of Hell Cinema on this major issue of right and wrong was quite fair, and it was not strictly inclined to the side of Dongying Cinema.
However, at this time, Yuan Xuexun said again: "No...... I think the second brother is right. If epidemics and famines are understandable, how can wars be related to death, when wars are provoked by humans themselves? ”
Ye Xiang took a deep breath.
"It may be difficult for you to understand, but it is true that death has always controlled the life and death of mankind. However, it doesn't make much sense to discuss the relationship between war and death now. The biggest problem now is that we Onmyoji have a lot to do with death. ”
"We ...... Onmyoji? ”
"Onmyoji, and the god of death are like natural enemies. We have changed the scales between the living and the dead, allowing the people who should have been on the Grim Reaper's death list to live. So...... For the Grim Reaper, we become the object of the missing death list that must be compensated. ”
"Missing ...... Death list? ”
It sounds like the plot of the famous horror movie "The Grim Reaper"!
"Mom and Dad have disappeared since they ...... They had to stop the Grim Reaper from attacking the people of the Onmyoji family, they ...... So that we can live! (To be continued.) )
