Chapter 127 Eating?
The pain in her neck caused the spider sister to scream in agony.
"My lord, please stop biting me! My neck hurts so much! My lord, I won't lie anymore... Please don't eat me... I'm scared."
Hearing the spider sister's screams made Li Lei stop eating.
Sensing that Li Lei had relented, Spider Sister immediately collapsed to the ground, curling up and clutching her head tightly, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. She was terrified. Terrified that Li Lei would approach. Terrified that Li Lei would continue to devour her, terrified of any danger that came near her.
Li Lei's sudden act of talking to her terrified her. She never expected that a Lower Moon One would talk to her like that; wasn't it only the ghost that won the bloody battle by switching places that could eat the ghost?
Looking at the spider sister curled up and trembling on the ground, Li Lei suddenly couldn't bring himself to eat her; he felt like he had gone a bit too far.
In the future, she will betray her trusting sister, eat countless people, and become a despicable demon. But those are all things that will happen in the future. Right now, she has at most eaten a few people, and is far less hateful than her future self.
He was punishing her as if she were his future self; how could he be any better? Now, knowing the evil things she would do in the future, he was imposing these crimes on her, wanting her to experience the pain of those she had devoured.
Doing what he considered "good deeds" while trampling on her life, he felt incredibly arrogant. Li Lei kept blaming himself for his actions.
Only now, curled up on the ground, did the spider sister understand how much pain and fear those she had eaten had endured. When she devoured them, she had never considered their feelings; they must have been just as helpless as she was now.
Those people I ate must have been in great pain. I was a bad child. Is this God's punishment for me?
"Does your neck still hurt? Did I scare you just now?"
"I'm sorry, I gave you a bad memory."
Li Lei looked at the spider sister on the ground, carefully picked her up and gently apologized in her ear.
Li Lei still couldn't bring himself to eat her up piece by piece, after all, it wasn't her fault that she became a ghost.
Li Lei, who had intended to end Spider Sister's life in this painful way, couldn't bear it after seeing her suffering expression and abandoned the method.
"My lord, I don't want to die yet. Death is terrifying, I..."
"It's okay, I'll be gentler, at least it won't hurt."
Spider Sister cried and begged Li Lei to let her go, but Li Lei refused. He knew she had eaten people, though not many, but at least a few innocent people had died at her hands. The families of those she ate must be in great pain.
Thinking of all this, Li Lei made up his mind to give her a painless death here.
Seeing Li Lei's serious expression, the female ghost (Spider Sister) knew she was doomed to die today, but she still wanted to struggle.
"Sir, I..."
Just as the female ghost (Spider Sister) was about to say something, Li Lei reached out and blocked her mouth, preventing her from speaking.
"No need to say anything more, I won't agree."
Li Lei was determined. No matter what the female ghost (Spider Sister) said, he would not agree. To avoid softening his heart, he personally covered her mouth before she could beg for mercy.
At the same time, her chest began to feel like a swamp, relentlessly engulfing her body. The process wasn't painful, just somewhat frightening. To prevent her from being scared, Li Lei hugged her neck tightly, not letting her see her body being devoured by him.
The process of being devoured was quick; in less than ten seconds, most of her body had already sunk into Li Lei's chest.
She could no longer feel her own body, vanished silently, her vision plunged into darkness, and her soul fell into hell.
After devouring the spider sister, Li Lei stood up and watched her fall into hell. It happened again; he saw the scene from Demon Slayer where demons die and enter hell.
Why can he sometimes see images of others entering hell, and sometimes not? What is the pattern behind this?
When he first transmigrated, he saw the scene of Lower Moon Five's soul and his parents going to hell.
At that time, he thought he was only able to see it because he had just transmigrated and was a soul, but seeing it frequently over the next ten years made Li Lei suspicious.
Is it because my soul is different from the people in this world, or is there some other reason?
Unable to come up with a solution, Li Lei stopped thinking about it and prepared to go to Mount Sagiri to see how well Urokodaki Sakonji's apprentice was doing and to observe the future state of the Water Column.
"Tired. Are you all alone? I heard from Chihiro that there's a female ghost and five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen here."
Upon arriving, Ama-i Moeka asked Li Lei about the whereabouts of the female ghost and the five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen. However, Li Lei sensed from her eyes that she was more interested in knowing the female ghost's whereabouts.
Got it. Let me first tell you about the Demon Slayer Corps members.
"A Demon Slayer Corps swordsman? Hey—over there."
Li Lei pointed in the direction of Xiao Hei, where five swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps were lying on top of Xiao Hei, using him as a mattress.
Tianyi Mengxiang: Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
"Xiao Hei, get up quickly! If you keep pressing them down like this, they won't be able to breathe!" Tianyi Mengxiang hurriedly urged Xiao Hei to get up.
Hearing Ten'i Moka's nervous words, Kuro reluctantly got up. They were used to training; being pushed around by him wouldn't hurt them, so why were they so nervous? Kuro sullenly got up, and before leaving, he accidentally farted.
The fart was incredibly loud. Li Lei and Tianyi Mengxiang, who were not far away, both heard it.
The group of people who were in low spirits were attacked by poison gas, and their mental strength instantly increased by several percentage points. They all looked much more active than before, which was a cause for celebration.
Li Lei: (?w?)
Tianyi Mengxiang: "〣( oΔo )〣"
Xiao Hei: \(? ???w??? ?)/
The scene became awkward, and no one knew what to say. In any case, the world where five Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen were injured was over.
After an awkward five minutes, Ten'i Moka couldn't take it anymore and asked Li Lei, "Where's the other female ghost?"
"Tired. I heard from Chihiro that you just encountered a female ghost being chased by the Demon Slayer Corps. You saved her and wanted to take her in with us. Where is she (the ghost)?"
Upon hearing Tianyi Mengxiang's question, Li Lei smiled and pointed to his chest, then to his stomach.
"She's hungry and went to find something to eat?"
Li Lei shook his head, then pointed to his mouth and patted his stomach.
"Are you hungry? Did she go find you something to eat?"
Li Lei shook his head, indicating that it was incorrect, but very close.
Tianyi Mengxiang "..."
"Stop playing riddles, I can't guess, just tell me."
Ten'i Moka didn't want to guess anymore and asked Li Lei to give her the answer.
“She…was…eaten by…me,” Li Lei replied with a smile.
"You're lying. How could you eat her without the Ghost King's permission? You must have hidden her away." Ten'i Moka shook her head, indicating her disbelief.
"I'm telling the truth!"
"I don't believe you, you're definitely lying to me."
Seeing that Tenyi Moka didn't believe him, what could Li Lei do but lie?
"I felt sorry for her, so I sent her away," Li Lei said casually.
"Really? No way, you wouldn't let go of such a tempting opportunity, you must have hidden it in another dimension."
Ten'i Moka still didn't believe Li Lei's words and wanted to check his alternate dimension.
Li Lei responded, "Look! Look all you want. I'm upright and have nothing to hide. If I'm not in there, then I'm not in there."
In the end, Ten'i Moka couldn't find a female ghost, let alone a female mosquito, in Li Lei's alternate dimension.
