I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 574
【Ding--! 】
Suddenly, Li Yan heard a strange ringing sound in his ears. Just like when he came into contact with Yama Ai, Li Yan was shocked by electricity. Immediately, a memory was once again transmitted to him through the body of the hell girl. within the soul.
…
In ancient Japan, the land was barren and wars were constant.
This is an era older than the Azuchi Momoyama era, and a society more turbulent than the Warring States Period...
It seems that the era she lived in was called the "Peace Era".
Although the world has never been peaceful.
In a bloody era where samurai were rampant and full of lust for power and force, Rouge Fangs were clustered in the middle of Heian Capital, brightly lit and extremely prosperous.
Countless girls who have lost their parents or whose families are poor are sent to this street to make a living by selling themselves.
Lianhua, who was sold to this place at the age of six, belongs to the latter. Because there are too many children in the family, the family is tired, and her father is involved in gambling, so she was sent to a rouge shop by her father.
She has a beautiful appearance, too delicate and beautiful. When she entered this place of right and wrong, she was considered by Mama-san to be the oiran of this street in the future, and she was specially trained.
She has a withdrawn personality, is quite quiet, and looks like a Japanese doll. Good-looking people are always more popular. In the bustling building, she can always hear all kinds of strange voices from men and women outside. Some guessed the nature of this place, but she didn't know how to deal with her fate.
The girl responsible for teaching her etiquette and temperament is a woman named Wu Zhi who once won the title of Oiran and is now aging.
Her teaching attitude is harsh and unkind. To children, she is almost as mysterious and majestic as a devil, and as conceited as a young lady.
The girls who grew up with her were Yali, Xiao Wei and other girls who were sold here together... In this place, apart from not being able to move freely, there was no need to worry about hunger. In the beginning, among the little girls The atmosphere here is not much different from that in the village.
Lianhua, who was trained as an oiran, naturally has more resources and is subject to more restrictions and surveillance. As she grows older, her beauty becomes more and more apparent, and she is destined to experience all over the world in the future.
Her companions envied her, and whether they were seniors or juniors, they all hoped that she could stick to her position as an oiran. A woman who is a candidate for an oiran is lucky because she will not be sent out at a young age. Pick up guests.
It is very likely that she will meet a powerful person who is willing to redeem her life and make her happy.
This is a fateful bet.
When she was twelve years old, Lianhua secretly told her secret to her teacher Wu Zhi that she had the ability to control dreams.
No matter what kind of dream it is, she can create it, and she can also spy on the other person's dream, and even control many people to be unable to escape from the dream. She can even kill people in the dream...
This was a manifestation of Lianhua's spiritual talent. However, such a secret was only half-believed by Wu Zhi.
That is, at the age of twelve, Yali and Xiao Wei, whose names were officially called by the guests, never came back after receiving the job...
Lianhua, who was protected, didn't know what happened, and Wuzhi never mentioned the names of her two friends afterwards.
After accidentally hearing the story of "Kaguya Princess" from Wu Zhi, Lianhua began to become confused and longing for freedom and love, as if she had been enlightened.
From that time on, Wu Zhi always felt regretful and would tell Renhua the story of "Princess Kaguya".
When she was fourteen years old, Lianhua, who had not yet reached the age to run for oiran, suddenly received a notice that she had to officially pick up guests.
The night before picking up the guests, Wu Zhi ran away with Lian Hua.
She did not hope that Lianhua would become the third victim to be tortured to death after Yali and Xiaowei.
That night, there was no starlight and the streets were empty. The two women who ran all the way to the woods were surrounded by the gatekeeper of Rouge Square and a certain daimyo's soldier, just like two sika deer being hunted by a group of people.
——[Lianhua, go find your own happiness. 】
This was the only reason why Wuzhi took her to escape.
However, just when they were about to escape from the gate of hell in a small boat, the daimyo's soldiers fired a dense rain of arrows at the small boat.
Until the moment she was shot to death, her teacher lay on Lianhua's body like a mountain. Although the arrow completely penetrated the bodies of the two people, Lianhua still died in the arms of the person who loved her...
The corpses of the two dead people were washed away in the river, floating in the moonless river...
However, she finally understood why she could no longer find her friends' dreams, why they were pierced by thousands of arrows, and resentment continued to settle in the girl's soul. In the end, the dead Lianhua opened her eyes, full of revenge. Resentment is resurrected.
——[Want to take a look at this? Want to see a world you can't see? 】
Lianhua asked in a low voice, asking about the lustful and greedy men in the world.
That night, a horrific supernatural event occurred in Heianjing. Overnight, almost all the gangsters hired by Rouge Factory, Mama-san, and the daimyo and soldiers who participated in that operation died in their sleep. The appearance of death was extremely terrifying, even if they opened their eyes. Even after I opened my eyes, I still couldn't wake up. I was tortured to death in various ways in my dream.
The first Hell Girl, who was guilty of so many crimes, committed a crime that would take hundreds of years of hard work to pay off...
"It's so rude, do you really want to see me..."
Suddenly, Li Yan's person was grabbed by a cold and gentle hand.
For a moment, Li Yan was interrupted from continuing to peek into Lian Hua's memory. He returned to reality and stared blankly at Lian Hua who opened her eyes.
Lian Hua's pair of emerald green eyes looked a little weak, and her situation was only slightly better than that of Yama Ai.
"Cause and effect are like spinning wheels, many-sided mirrors of light and shadow, and the world is vast... But fleeting dreams, good and evil, love and deceit, all have their destiny... Lotus, such a pure and holy name in the Buddhist language, was born in a piece of mud. It’s a very nice name. It was given to me by my mother, but... now I feel more and more that, stained with blood, am I qualified to continue to be called this name..."
Lian Hua, who looked a little tired, smiled brightly and whispered with Li Yan's support.
"Only you can have your own name. Miss Lianhua, your name is unique." After hearing this, Li Yan was silent for a moment and finally answered Lianhua's question.
"...These are just my jokes. You still can't tell when I am joking...Li Sang."
Lotus fell on Li Yan's body.
Quietly, she didn't know why, but she felt as if she was back in Miss Wuzhi's arms.
If she could experience this feeling a little more, maybe... she might actually be able to pass away.
Li Yan fell silent, and a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Faced with a mixed situation, he finally entrusted the lotus flower to Thor beside him.
"Miss Thor, Miss Lianhua asks you to escort her to a safe area. In her condition, she cannot take risks with us..."
Li Yan said to Thor.
Thor was stunned for a moment and asked doubtfully: "Then...Li, aren't you alone?"
Li Yan took off the shotgun and tied a series of specially picked salt bombs to his belt. He looked at the tunnel that still stretched deep into the depths and said: "It doesn't matter. I will be cautious on the next journey. With this Bring your weapons and I will bring Yinglili back.”
Chapter 288 The bonfire is not extinguished
Cold, biting.
Li Yan's body continued to sink into the undercurrent of the valley...
When his consciousness faded heavily in the sky and landed on the water, he was already shaken to the point of becoming unconscious, his eyes were dim, and his whole body seemed to be falling apart.
