Chapter 222 The Mysterious Female Red Ghost

Aratake Ichito nodded nonchalantly and said, "Very good, with this one added in, our chances of winning have increased again, we will definitely win this time!"

After hearing what Aratake Ichito said, Ying said with a suspicious look on her face, "This time? You haven't won before, have you?"

After hearing what Ying said, Aratake Ichito's expression froze, and he argued with a vague look in his eyes, "Ahem... In this world, some people may be full of talent and passion, but they may not necessarily get good results."

"After all, the results of the competition will be affected by many factors. There is a word that perfectly summarizes these situations, it is called coincidence."

Paimon thought for a while and said with a smile, "Is it so amazing? Then it doesn't matter if I have this one or not, just..."

Aratake Ichito noticed what Paimon wanted to do, and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Wait, wait, wait a minute!"

"Isn't it said that the agile type can win by surprise?" Ying said expressionlessly.

"I think both bugs have a chance of winning, so let's keep them and try them later, otherwise it would be a pity, hahaha."

Arataki Ichito's words made Ying Paimon and the mysterious man hold their foreheads with one hand.

Arataki Ichito suggested as if he didn't see everyone's actions: "It's time to go back and fight the bugs. It's really exciting! Let's go!"

Following Arataki Ichito to the place where the bugs were fought, Daisuke had been waiting here for a long time.

"Are you finally back? I can't wait any longer. Can we start?" Daisuke urged Arataki Ichito.

Aratake Ichito nodded and said, "Of course, the ghost beetle I brought back this time is a very powerful guy."

After listening to Aratake Ichito's words, Daisuke released the ghost beetle he had prepared and shouted, "I'm not afraid, go ahead, white-striped evil ghost!"

Aratake Ichito also posed in a cool pose, released the ghost beetle he was looking for that was half the size of the other party, and shouted excitedly, "I will definitely win this time, go ahead, clever ninja!"

Paimon said in shock, "When did you name it!"

Aratake Ichito did not answer, and continued to cheer for his ghost beetle with a passionate face, "Come on, come on!"

"This fighting beetle looks really interesting." Seeing that Aratake Ichito didn't pay any attention to him at all, Paimon said to Ying next to him with excitement.

Ying folded her arms and looked at the two fighting ghost beetles and replied: "How should I know? This is not as good as the fighting saint gold beetle."

Paimon: "."

Finally, Aratake Ito's ghost beetle was knocked to the ground by Daisuke's ghost beetle.

Aratake Ito held his head and shouted loudly with an unacceptable look: "Ah-my clever ninja!"

"Great, I won again!"

Unlike Aratake Ito, Daisuke on the other side jumped up excitedly.

"Damn it, this is the seventh consecutive defeat." Aratake Ito squatted on the ground and looked at his ghost beetle and said something that made Ying and others drop their jaws.

"I actually lost so many times"

At this time, Ying's eyes widened, as if she had discovered a new world.

"Hehe, the white-striped evil ghost is invincible, even Ito brother can't beat it." Daisuke said excitedly.

Aratake Ichito slowly stood up and quickly accepted his defeat. He pointed at Daisuke with an unconvinced look and said, "I will remember this account and I must beat you next time."

"Hey, little guy, take out your Crimson Cyclone and help me vent my anger."

After hearing Ichito's words, Paimon released the ghost beetle he found and said excitedly, "Okay, go ahead, Crimson Cyclone!"

Ying couldn't help but complain when he heard this, "Have you actually accepted this name?"

"Wow, this ghost beetle is so powerful." Daisuke looked at the two ghost beetles fighting each other nervously. The opponent's body size was obviously much larger than his own ghost beetle.

"Can't lose, White Striped Demon!"

After hearing Daisuke's words, Paimon also shouted to his ghost beetle, "Hey, hurry up, hurry up and use Super Paimon Cyclone!"

"Paimon, what's wrong with you? How can there be such a move!"

Ying looked at the three people who were completely immersed in the insect fighting competition, and couldn't help rubbing his aching forehead with his hand.

While Ying was having a headache, the insect fighting competition also won after Paimon's Crimson Cyclone knocked down Daisuke's White-striped Ghost Face.

"I actually lost." Seeing his Ghost-striped Bug being knocked down, Daisuke lowered his head and said with a look of disappointment.

Paimon on the opposite side said excitedly with excitement: "Hehe, I won! Crimson Cyclone is quite powerful."

"I didn't expect this bug to be so powerful, it easily defeated the White-striped Demon..."

Having said this, Aratake Ichito praised Paimon with a proud face: "You are worthy of being the insect fighting master I have chosen, um, it's really gratifying, good buddy!"

Paimon smiled and said: "Hehe, I am really talented! Of course, Crimson Cyclone also contributed a lot!"

"Why don't you give it to Daisuke." Ying suddenly said.

Paimon thought of something, and his originally happy smile was put away and nodded: "Yes, after all, after the insect fight, we have to..."

"Huh?" Daisuke, who was originally disappointed, heard what the two said and raised his head with a puzzled look.

Paimon pointed at his own beetle and said to Daisuke: "I'll give this to you."

"Hey, this, why? Is it really okay?" Daisuke asked in surprise.

Arataki Ito nodded and said, "Take it. Now that you have such a strong bug, you can show off to your friends when we go back."

"Can we go back?" Daisuke suddenly asked.

"Of course, believe me, I never break my promise." Arataki Ito said seriously, "That's it for now. My two friends and I have something to discuss. You can play with the ghost lady for a while. Be obedient."

Paimon breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that there is no problem."

"Actually, you are sent by Tenryo Bugyo, right? You are here to capture Brother Ito, right!"

"Huh?"

Arataki Ito explained to Daisuke, "Didn't I say that they are all my brother's friends... They are all brothers from the Arataki faction, and they have a very good relationship."

"You are lying. There are only a few people in the Arataki faction. I know everyone, but I have never seen them!" Daisuke shook his head.

"Brother Yidou didn't do anything bad, don't arrest him!" Daifu was a little excited when he said this, and couldn't help but continue: "Not only did he not do anything bad, he also saved my life! He is not a bad person!"

"Oh? What's going on?" Ying asked in surprise.

Aratake Ito hurriedly said to Daisuke: "Don't tell this to outsiders, oh, how should I explain it?"

Speaking of this, Aratake Ito also scratched his head and said: "I'm really not good at lying."

The ghost grandmother came over and said to Aratake Ito: "Ito, be frank when you should be frank, don't worry about us."

". Thank you, ghost grandmother." After hearing the ghost grandmother's words, Ito breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained to Ying and Paimon: "If you can't hide it, there's nothing you can do. Come with me, I'll explain it to you."

"I admit it frankly. The robbery and looting that the Tenryo Bugyo is investigating were not done by me."

"I have my reasons for lying. Before solving important things, I don't want to involve irrelevant people."

"Huh? Why didn't you say it earlier? I've already beaten you, and I won't apologize." Ying said with her hands on her waist and her head raised high after hearing what Aratake Ito said.

"It's okay, it's me who kept it a secret from you, but you're really good at fighting, much better than the Nine Tengu." Aratake Ichito waved his hand.

"What on earth is it that you're willing to do even if it means you're guilty?" Paimon asked in confusion.

Aratake Ichito sighed and explained, "Alas... you're from the outside, right? Then I have to start from the story of the Red Demon and the Blue Demon a long, long time ago..."

"Wait, if it's a fairy tale, we've already heard it." Paimon hurriedly dissuaded him.

Aratake Ichito didn't mind, but smiled and said, "What? You already know it. That's much simpler, saving me a lot of trouble."

"Are all the things in fairy tales true?" Paimon asked.

Aratake Ichito nodded and explained: "Regarding the fate of the demons, what is said in fairy tales is true - the blue demons chose to exile themselves, and only the red demons survived."

"But the rest has nothing to do with real history. Fairy tales tell beautiful stories and cannot mention the cruel truth."

"A long time ago, Inazuma was still very dangerous. At that time, if you wanted to seek the protection of General Raiden, you had to have a good relationship with humans."

"The demons are born proud, and it is not easy to ask for acceptance from others. In this process, the demons slowly split into two factions."

"The red demons are more friendly to humans, and the blue demons are more stubborn and stubborn."

Paimon suddenly realized: "I thought they were two different races, but they are actually one family."

Aratake Ichito nodded and said: "Well, there is almost no difference between us. We all rely on painting different colors on our horns to distinguish our positions."

"Why must the blue demons in the fairy tales sacrifice?" Ying asked.

Aratake Ichito explained: "Because at that time, humans were still very wary of the ghost tribe. The red ghost tried hard to find a way to live in peace with humans, but the blue ghost would have conflicts with humans from time to time."

"Humans don't care about red ghosts and blue ghosts, they just think that the ghost tribe is difficult to get along with."

"If this continues, the ghost tribe will never be accepted by humans. At this time, the most respected leader of the red ghost and the blue ghost stood up."

"They drank and swore that the blue ghost would play the role of the evil ghost and help the red ghost integrate into human society, but the leader of the blue ghost also put forward two conditions."

Paimon asked in confusion: "Conditions?"

Aratake Ito continued: "First, the ghost tribe must not have prejudices against humans. They must accept humans in their hearts before being accepted by humans. They must not bully the weak, nor give up on themselves."

"Second, the red ghosts must integrate into humans, but they must not please humans. The ghost tribe should win the respect of humans with their upright character, surging blood, and powerful strength."

"In other words, while continuing the bloodline of the ghost tribe, we must keep our pride."

Ying: "."

Ying looked at Aratake Ito so seriously, and always felt that something was strange.

"After that, because they decided to sacrifice themselves, the blue ghost tribe became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared." Speaking of this, Aratake Ito touched his chin and thought: "I have heard the story of the red ghost and the blue ghost since I was a child. I never thought that the blue ghost tribe actually survived..."

After listening to what Ara Taki Ichito said, Paimon analyzed: "So what you mean is that these evil events were all done by the descendants of the Blue Oni clan?"

Ara Taki Ichito nodded and said: "Yes, many people don't care about the color of the demon horns, and don't even know that there are Blue Oni. But the brothers of the Ara Taki faction will not make mistakes. They saw with their own eyes that the demons with horns of different colors from mine were there."

"But if they are descendants of Blue Oni, it's a bit too strange. I really can't accept it."

Ying hesitated for a moment and said: "Because Blue Oni attach great importance to pride?"

"Yes! They always regard pride as more important than their own lives!" Ara Taki Ichito replied "I have always admired the blue ghosts who chose to sacrifice themselves, and I also understand what my ancestors expected of the future of the ghosts."

"Robbery, plundering, how can the pride of the ghosts allow it!"

"I think that blue ghost must have been deceived or threatened to do such a thing. But I have no evidence..."

Ying said: "So, you are buying time?"

Aratake Ito nodded and said: "Yes, if I hadn't confused the audience, that guy would have been caught by the people of Tianling Bugyo."

"Is Daisuke also related to this matter? He said you saved him, he should know what you did." Paimon asked.

Aratake Ito explained: "Because I fought off the wandering samurai and snatched it with my life. When the gang robbed his house, he was playing outside. When he came back, his parents had been captured."

"I want to investigate this matter to find his parents."

"So you lied from the beginning, and you also made up the story about Kujo Sara, right?" Ying said to Aratake Ito.

"Hehe, this is forced by the situation. Although Kujo Tengu is hateful, she will still follow the orders of General Raiden. As long as I don't provoke her, she will certainly not embarrass me. Besides, I can make so much money by doing something. I'm not stupid."

"I didn't plan to say this at the beginning. My original plan was to knock you out cleanly and then take my family to another place."

"You want to knock me out?" Ying said to Aratake Ito, rubbing his hands.

"No, no, it's because you're too strong. You disrupted my plan. Not to mention knocking you out, it's still a question whether I can get out by myself."

Arataki Ichito hurriedly said: "This matter not only involves the blue ghost, but also involves dangerous groups involved in robbery and looting. I can't involve irrelevant people."

Ying nodded and said: "I see."

"This is the end of my explanation. If you are not convinced and want to take me back, then I will do my best to fight you to the end." Arataki Ichito said to Ying with his head raised and eyes closed.

"So, you are very brave?" Ying said with a surprised look at Arataki Ichito who was tough again.

Aratake Ito raised his head, opened one eye and looked at Ying and said, "Just kidding, I'm super brave. This is the dignity of a ghost clan. I will definitely fight to the end."

Ying said to the unruly Aratake Ito with an excited look on her face, "Then let's fight."

"No, no, no, I've said so much, but you still don't want to believe me." Aratake Ito hurriedly dissuaded him.

Ying shook her head and said, "I didn't say I didn't believe you. It was you who said you wanted to fight me to the end."

Aratake Ito grasped the key words and hurriedly replied, "Since you are willing to believe me, give me some time, wait for me to find the blue ghost, and I will take him to surrender."

"I still like your unruly look before." Looking at Aratake Ito who suddenly admitted his fear, Ying said with some disappointment.

"Well, isn't there an old saying in Liyue, that a man who knows the current situation is a hero." Ara Taki Ito said seriously, "Since you are willing to believe me, I am not an ungrateful person. No, ghost, I will prove it to you."

Ying spread his hands and said, "Okay, since you said so, I would be embarrassed if I don't help you."

Paimon echoed from the side, "Well, we will help you, because we can't wrongly accuse good people, nor can we let bad people go. Just think of it as us supervising you."

After listening to the two people's words, Ara Taki Ito simply forgot The previous unpleasantness, smiled and said: "You... Humph, as expected, you are also reasonable people, willing to pursue the truth and justice. This uncle felt that I could get along with you from the beginning!"

"Let me make it clear first, the things that follow are very dangerous, you all have to be prepared, don't say I didn't remind you at that time."

Paimon nodded and said: "Don't worry, we are very strong."

"Then follow me to investigate the whereabouts of the blue ghost. There is a victim who is temporarily staying in the Coral Palace military camp. He has seen the blue ghost with his own eyes. Let's go find him now." Ara Taki Ito suggested.

"No, I can find where he is." The mysterious man spoke again at this time.

"Wow! Who are you? You didn't say anything all the way, but you scared me when you spoke!" Ara Taki Ito was frightened by the strange voice suddenly emitted by the mysterious man and jumped up.

"Who am I? I don't know either." The mysterious man shook his head and said.

"Wait, this breath is, you are also a ghost!" Ara Taki Ito suddenly noticed something and looked at the mysterious man with surprise.

Paimon asked in confusion: "Hey? Is he really a ghost?"

"No doubt. Although it was only a moment ago, I noticed his aura when he spoke." Aratake Ichito said.

Paimeng thought of something and said, "Could it be that he is the rebellious Green Ghost?"

"It is very likely. He must be a Green Ghost if he is wearing a cloak and doesn't want to see anyone." Aratake Ichito nodded after hearing what Paimeng said.

"I am not from the Green Ghost clan." The mysterious man said.

After the mysterious man finished speaking, he lifted the black cloak on his head. The other person's long brown hair, the exposed skin on his neck, and the pair of horns on his head all showed that this mysterious person who spoke gloomily was a female ghost.

"Wow." Paimeng exclaimed.

Aratake Ichito touched his chin and nodded, "Well, it looks like he is indeed a demon, and a red demon, but I can't see his face clearly. I don't remember him existing."

Although the cloak was removed, Ying, Paimon and others still didn't see the true face of the mysterious person, because she was still wearing a hideous red mask, but she had red demon horns on her head similar to Aratake Ichito's.
