Chapter 898 Why not change the color of the horns?

Jiang Yi recalled an idea he had before. To develop mechanical technology, he needed talents to create huge research institutes and factories to build a force for himself that could traverse the sky, land and sea.

Not for the fight for hegemony, but only to prepare for the prophecy of the end of the world, and to prepare to take people away from Teyvat if necessary.

He needs a force that is willing to work with him to deal with the future.

Keqing is a partner, but the Liyue Lingshan Sect and Inazuma Himeki Village belong to them and can be used as a place for selection.

The most precious resource in the world is actually people with wisdom and development potential.

Hearing Jiang Yi's invitation, Zhuo was also stunned.

"Hikimura?" His expression became complicated.

"Why? Is it because you don't have any skills? Can't find a job? Or are you still resistant to getting along with humans? Or have you never heard of the Feimu Village?" Jiang Yi said casually, "Or do you think... it's impossible to support a tribe with proper work."

"The 'Arotaki Faction' has only a few members, but the gang's expenses still make Arotaki Ichito and his gang live a miserable life. Has that made you lose confidence in working part-time?" He raised an eyebrow.

Arata Ichito started to grumble: "Hey, hey! All of you, give me some face! We...are not as miserable as you think we are! Being a gangster is a kind of...a kind of! Yes! An attitude towards life after seeing life clearly!"

"If you no longer have pride in your heart, then make a new choice!" Jiang Yi said to Zhuo Ye, "Your work alone is only a temporary solution, and it cannot support the survival of an entire tribe. You can only go to extremes and plunder."

"Since your Aoki clan is in such a difficult situation, then... everyone in your Aoki clan should come out. If you are afraid of humans and resist Narukami Island, I am willing to accept your clan on behalf of Himiki Village."

"The residents of Himeki Village have thrown off the constraints of their own knowledge. Compared to the residents of Narukami Island, they will have much less prejudice against you."

Of course, the most important thing is his current identity, which allows him to guarantee Qing Gui.

"Here, you can farm and fish, help people transport goods, set up stalls and open shops... or join the guard team. There are many options that are suitable for you. I can't promise you to be rich, but at least if you can fill your stomach first and get clothes to have enough food and clothing, I can do it." Jiang Yi finally asked a question.

"Are all the people in your tribe ready to accept humans?" he asked with a sharp look.

An invisible silence is spreading.

"Yandora has something to say..." Yandora crawled out of the transparent water bottle. Arawaki Ichido widened his eyes and looked at the strange little guy who appeared.

"The color of your horns is painted, right? So why... didn't the blue ghosts who later got close to humans paint their horns red? In that case, wouldn't you also become red ghosts?" Yandola was full of doubts.

"The difference between blue ghosts and red ghosts is their different attitudes towards humans. The blue ghosts initially resisted living with humans, but didn't they change later? As long as you accept humans, aren't you also red ghosts?"

"Those who don't want to get along with humans will continue to be blue demons, and those who are willing to get along with humans will become red demons. That way, won't everyone be happy?" She flapped her wings, her bright eyes rippling with wisdom, flashing through the minds of Aratake Ichito and Takuya like lightning.

"That's right!" Arata Ichito clapped his hands, "That's right! Now is not the same as before. If you are willing to accept humans and change the color of your horns, then you are a red demon, right?"

Zhuo Ye felt his mind was a little confused for a moment. These words seemed to make sense, but something was not quite right.

"I can't think of this..." Yandora snorted and put her hands on her hips, "I know, you ghosts are too stupid."

"Who are you calling stupid?" Zhuo Ye was furious. "How could it be as simple as you said?"

Jiang Yi held onto the piercing Yandora and said, "There is indeed a problem. The green ghosts who live in seclusion in the mountains have no trace of living in human society. If they want to integrate into the society, they need a reasonable identity and adapt to the rules set by humans..."

"The Red Ghost is already known to humans. The Blue Ghost that turned into the Red Ghost couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere! Could it be that they are all the Red Ghost's illegitimate children, and were brought into human society after growing up?"

Huang Long Yidou looked at Jiang Yi with a strange look in his eyes.

"Huh? Should he treat me as his illegitimate child? But I seem... I seem to be unmarried!" Arata Ichito was shocked.

"Arata Ichito, what are you talking about? Who wants to be your illegitimate son?" Zhuo Ye felt that his anger was developing in other wrong directions due to the instigation of a group of people opposite him.

"Boss, boss, he's so old already, it's not right for him to be your illegitimate child!" Aratake Ichito's younger brother said that this was a loophole.

"Besides, there is another tribe. Boss, you are not a sow in the mountains. You can't give birth to more than ten babies at a time?" The younger brother analyzed seriously.

There were a lot of reserved giggles from young girls coming from Jiang Yi's side.

"My uncle..." Aratake Ichito scratched his head, feeling a little toothache, "It seems that I really can't give birth to so many devil cubs!"

"That's enough! You guys..." Zhuo Ye interrupted everyone and took a deep breath, "Maybe you have a point, but I can't turn back anymore."

"Why, you still want to continue doing bad things?" Yandora didn't understand. "If you make a mistake, you should admit it, you shouldn't insist on doing it! The Green Ghost sacrificed himself to allow the ghosts to integrate into the human race. If you do bad things like this, don't you make all the sacrifices meaningless?"

Zhuo Ye argued feebly: "I am the Blue Ghost. The Blue Ghost was a bad guy in the past. It is natural for bad guys to do bad things. It will not affect the reputation of the Red Ghost."

"It's just that Aradaki Ichito is a complete idiot. He actually took all the responsibilities on himself and destroyed the trust between the red demons and humans... This makes our sacrifice meaningless!" He panted, his heart was confused and uneasy.

"People who make mistakes can never bring themselves to lose face." Yandora spoke of the essence of the world in her childish voice.

Arata Ichito stepped forward: "I'm here to stop you! I can't just sit there and watch you get arrested by the Tenryo Bugyo!"

"No! You have to figure out what you should do!" Zhuo Ye said to Arata Ichito, "The blue ghost no longer exists! It doesn't matter what happens, but the red ghost must survive! Why can't we just leave it alone!"

Yandora looked back: "They were just arguing to maintain their ideals. They were not looking for a perfect solution! They were all because of love, but in the end it turned into a sad thing. Humans, ghosts, and the whole world are all very complicated."

Jiang Yi touched Yandora: "Because love involves sacrifice..."

"Sacrifice..." Yandora flapped her wings.

Jiang Yi moved forward, and the blood-flower girl turned into a stream of light and returned to the talisman. The entire underworld ghost world and the Wangchuan flower sea began to disappear.

The sun shines again.

"Blue ghost, red ghost, people have long forgotten. So, we can no longer distinguish you by the color of your horns. What distinguishes you now is your behavior, whether you are law-abiding or criminal."

Jiang Yi walked up to Zhuo Ye and said, "If Green Ghosts want to integrate into human society, they don't have to worry about their alien identity. Just use your actions to make humans accept you. It may be a little difficult in the beginning, but if you persist a little, you will reap the rewards."

"There are Tengu and Yokai among humans. They are also aliens, but now they get along well with humans."

"Take us to the base of the wandering samurai! As the first step to atone for your sins, rescue the people who were captured by the wandering samurai, return all the looted items, and turn yourself in and admit your mistakes."

"If you are willing, try to get your people to come to Himiki Village!"

Zhuo also hesitated.

"Zhuo Ye, this is a good choice, right?" Ara Taki Ichito reached out and patted Zhuo Ye's shoulder, "Don't run away, and don't make mistakes again!"

"Those stolen items were never supposed to be ours. We should return them. We should also turn ourselves in." His eyes were full of power. "We have already made a mistake, so we should atone for it. The green ghosts are living a miserable life, so we should bring them a new life."

"Reality treats us cruelly, so let's smash reality to pieces!"

Zhuo Ye looked at Arata Ichito in a daze: "But, I am a sinner, can I really be forgiven? I have tarnished the pride of the ghost tribe and the promise of my ancestors. In order for my people to get enough supplies, I chose this path. From the beginning, I was not prepared... to survive!"

"All of this is just an internal matter of the Qinggui clan. If it weren't for you... if it weren't for you!" The best ending in his mind is to sacrifice himself alone to save the clan.

"Hey! You shouldn't be sentenced to death for this mistake!" Arata Ichito hugged Takuya tightly, "You did a good deed, saving the robbery victim who should have been killed by the wandering samurai! In human society, there are two words called 'leniency' and 'atoning for sins'."

"I also caused you to be arrested! All the faults should be borne by me." Zhuo Ye gritted his teeth.

Arata Ichito shook Zhuoye fiercely: "Hey, hey! We don't need to imitate fairy tales with deep hatred and ask you to sacrifice to protect the reputation of the red devil."

"Besides, do you really think that everything will end if you sacrifice yourself? Your sacrifice can't protect me, nor can it protect your beloved people, nor will it prolong their lives."

"Stolen goods like this will be taken back and returned to the owner! Your sacrifice is meaningless. Otherwise, anyone can commit a crime for their family."

"Sacrificing your life or death can only allow you to escape reality, and can only bring relief to yourself..."

The tall figure of Arata Ichito faced the vast sea: "Listen to me, a man of the ghost tribe will never take such a cowardly solution! Don't tarnish the pride of the ghost tribe with your sacrifice!"

"If you don't want to be exploited by humans, then we can go farming and be our own bosses! Join our Arawaki faction and make it bigger and stronger!"

"Never please humans, but earn their respect."

Zhuo Ye was full of distrust: "You Huanglong Sect only has a few people, and you can't even support them!"

"..." Arata Ichito, "Don't keep dwelling on this! Then...just continue to choose Himiki Village. The village over there is going to be expanded, there's a lot of work, and it also provides three meals a day and temporary accommodation. It's much better than a big city like Narukami Island."

"Let me introduce you to this..." He pointed at Jiang Yi, thought for a long time, and said a long list of gods' names. "Now he is probably the boss of Bayun Island. He is not a bad person. Moreover, Bayun Island has my relative, the ghost lady who raised me. The ghost lady will teach you how to live in human society."

"Relatives?" Zhuo Ye murmured.

"Yes! We are relatives too. The ghost lady is a human, not a ghost, but she is very kind to me. We are ghosts and have the same blood." Aratake Ito said loudly, "Our parents, grandparents, never taught us that we can watch our relatives die without helping them."

"Since you knew of my existence, you should have come to me for help from the beginning. I couldn't possibly refuse you. Otherwise, things wouldn't have turned out like this!" He looked at Zhuo Ye, "Don't say you don't want to cause trouble for the Red Ghost. Coming to me means you're negating all of the Blue Ghost's efforts."

Aratake Ichito said sincerely: "Since I was a child, I have always admired the blue oni who chose to sacrifice themselves, and their efforts were definitely not in vain. Because of them, the oni tribe can survive to this day, and they have created an era where humans can live together with the oni tribe."

Zhuo Ye gritted his teeth and avoided Ara Taki Ichito's gaze.

"It can be said that everything I have now is the blessing of the blue demon. The current Inazuma will not think that you are a bad person just because the color of your horns is different." Aratake Ichito stretched out his hand, "Come on! Go and atone your sins!"
