There are very few Hell Girl episodes.

Because of this, this is also the first TV animation to be completed during this summer vacation, earlier than "Super Cool Cat" and "The Wilderness".

The first season of the anime only has 26 episodes.

The first 23 episodes can be said to be unit dramas, that is, one incident occurs in one episode, there is no continuous plot, and there is no explanation of the origin and identity of the hell girl Enma Ai.

But starting from episode 24, the plot changed. There was no longer a new client, but a flashback perspective was used to explain to the audience the mystery of the identity and origin of "Hell Girl".

Yama loves!

This hell girl did not appear in modern times, and the urban legends about her did not appear in recent years.

In fact, she appeared a long time ago. Although she looks like a young girl, Xiao Ai's true age is definitely beyond the audience's imagination.

More than four hundred years ago, at the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty.

In a small village called Liudaoguai, the young Yama Ai was considered an unlucky person because of his special abilities. He was often bullied by his peers in the village, but he was protected by his cousin.

In the blink of an eye, spring turns to winter, and it’s the day of “giving away the seventh day” in the village.

The so-called sending seven refers to the fact that in this remote village, the villagers in this remote village worship a seven-year-old girl every seven years in order to pray for good health and good weather.

The elders in the village have decided that Xiao Ai is the candidate for this year's gift of seven.

They persuaded Xiao Ai's parents, saying that this was a very honorable thing. Although Xiao Ai's cousin tried his best to dissuade her, they could not change the elders' decision.

Seeing that their cousin cares and protects Xiao Ai so much, Xiao Ai's parents hope that their cousin can regularly send her food and clothes and protect her after Xiao Ai is sent to the temple in the mountains.

My cousin didn't want to agree, but looking at Xiao Ai's innocent eyes, he nodded and agreed.

In the blink of an eye, six years have passed.

The harvest of crops this year was very poor, and everyone in the village was worried about the coming winter. At this time, the news that Xiao Ai was still alive was discovered by the villagers.

Oh my god!

No one was excited about this, everyone had angry eyes, because everyone felt that it was Xiao Ai's family that violated the sacrificial customs, which made the mountain god angry, resulting in a food shortage this year.

The villagers knocked out Xiao Ai's family and tied them up. They dug a hole in front of the temple and planned to bury them alive. However, Xiao Ai's cousin helped Xiao Ai survive, so he had to fill in the soil himself.

At this time, Xiao Ai was actually awake.

Looking at those ignorant, crazy, cruel and unaware villagers, as well as her cousin filling in the soil, tears of blood and resentment flowed from Xiao Ai's eyes.

"I hate you all!"

Xiao Ai's last blood and tears seemed to be a curse, and also hinted at the final fate of the villagers.

By the spring of the second year.

On a full moon night, Xiao Ai's cousin couldn't stand it anymore and decided to leave the village quietly.

But not long after he left, he turned around and suddenly found a firelight in the direction of the village. When he took a closer look, there was a dead figure in front of the firelight.

My cousin kept laughing and ran through the mountains and forests without looking back, completely ignoring the wounds on his face and hands that were cut by thorns.

Later, my cousin returned to Liudaoguai, settled down here, and gave birth to children and produced offspring.

Many years later.

Independent reporter Cai Tian, ​​a descendant of Xiaoai's cousin, learned that his daughter could occasionally see the sights in Hell Girl's eyes, and decided to use this ability to do a report on the truth about Hell Girl.

But during the investigation, Cai Tian changed his mind when he learned that the Hell Girl was not a so-called urban rumor, but a real existence that would send a person to hell, and that the client would not escape misfortune.

Rather than news reports, he wants to prevent people from using hell communications to seek revenge, and to find the hell girl herself and tell her that doing so is wrong...

As the investigation deepens, events from four hundred years ago gradually surface, and Xiao Ai's dusty memories are slowly awakening.

Cai Tian's daughter advised her father not to stop Hell Girl, because Hell Girl sends away all bad people.

By sharing the Hell Girl's vision, Cai Tian's daughter Xiaodong learned that the next victim was a nurse. Based on past experience, she judged that the nurse was only pretending to be kind and enthusiastic on the surface, but secretly he must be a bad guy.

But she was wrong this time.

Through observation of Xiaodong, I found that this nurse was really a good person who looked the same on the outside, but she was eventually sent to hell, and the client was an out-and-out pervert.

In the end, the pervert committed suicide by taking poison, and his purpose seemed to be just to go to hell with the nurse...

"Sent to hell by such an inexplicable person, do you still think Hell Girl is the embodiment of justice?"

His father's words made Xiaodong suddenly realize that the Hell Girl is not necessarily the messenger of justice. She only accepted the entrustment of resentment, but is the object of the entrustment's resentment really a bad person?

The truth of four hundred years ago came to light, and Yama Ai, who remembered everything, also learned that Cai Tian's father and daughter were actually his cousin's descendants, and decided to kill him, but this also violated a taboo.

The three-eyed spider saved Cai Tian and his daughter, but also took away Yama Ai.

Back in front of the dilapidated mountain temple, Cai Tian's father and daughter, who were lucky enough to be saved, expressed their views respectively.

Xiaodong said that he could understand Yan Moai, but Cai Tian said that he could understand Xiaoai's cousin. The positions of father and daughter seemed to have differences again.

At this moment, Xiao Ai, who was about to be taken back to hell by the three-eyed spider, broke free from his restraints and returned to the world because his desire for revenge was too strong.

This time she came to Xiaodong and showed her the scenes of Xiaodong's mother's death, in an attempt to arouse Xiaodong's resentment towards his father and carry out revenge.

"Isn't it difficult to live without a mother?"

Xiao Ai handed the scarecrow tied with a red rope to Xiaodong, trying to control Xiaodong's consciousness, untie the red rope, and send both herself and her father to hell.

Just when Xiaodong put on the harness and was about to untie the red rope, Cai Tian rushed back in time and woke up Xiaodong. The father and daughter untied their knots and got back together.

The red rope scarecrow given by Xiao Ai returned to her intact for the first time.

Looking at the father and daughter hugging each other and crying, Xiao Ai seemed to understand something. Under the cherry blossom tree, he recalled every moment of his relationship with his cousin four hundred years ago.

"Your cousin must have always liked you, so he felt regretful and returned to Liudaoguai to build the Qitong Temple."

Qitong Temple!

Seven children...

Holding the red rope scarecrow handed back by Xiaodong, listening to her words and facing the cherry blossoms flying in the sky, Xiao Ai burst into tears.

When the illusion disappeared, the three of them came to the Qitong Temple built by Xiao Ai's cousin himself, but Xiao Ai destroyed the temple.
Chapter completed!
