East Ying Weird Creation

Chapter 562 Silent Dawn

The neon tubes of the gas station in the service area twisted into a weird smiling face in the heavy rain.

Gu Xing was lying in the puddle, the wedding ring on his left eye still casting a kaleidoscope of light on his iris.

There were beads of water on Crow's eyelashes, and the force with which he clenched his fingertips caused blood to seep through the bandage.

“Those eyes.”

She suddenly spoke, her voice a little dry, "Do you hear those souls singing?"

Gu Xing turned his head and saw that the crow tattoo on her neck was oozing black blood.

Kita Eijiro's hoarse humming came from afar - it was a nursery rhyme from the Showa period, with "bird in a cage" and "kite with a broken string" appearing repeatedly in the lyrics.

The porcelain bowl that Kita Yosuke used to beg was upside down next to the charging station, with half a burnt photo stuck to the bottom of the bowl.

That was a news clipping from a few years ago:

A boy in school uniform stood on the rooftop of a department store, with blood-stained coins scattered under his feet.

Gu Xing’s pupils suddenly contracted—there was a line of small words on the edge of the photo covered in blood: “The Xth sacrifice.”

“He’s paying off his karma.”

Crow ripped open his collar, revealing a black vine tattoo spreading below his collarbone. "Each coin can delete a life node that has been tampered with by the witch."

Gu Xing looked around: "Where's Yang Jie? Where did he go?"

The crow remained silent, but this silence only confirmed Yosuke's tragedy.

She suddenly grabbed Gu Xing's hand and pressed it against her chest. She could hear an abnormal heartbeat through her wet shirt: "Listen! I feel like there are dozens of people's hearts beating in my body right now."

"That's awesome," Gu Xing grinned, "I can't handle this level of shock right now."

……

Kita Eijiro squatted in front of the convenience store refrigerator, stroking the expiration date label of the expired yogurt with his fingertips.

He turned on the TV on the shelf, which was playing a news report. The screen suddenly cut to Gu Xing breaking into the underground garage—the shadow of the witch was putting the wedding ring on his hand.

The refrigerator suddenly exploded, and dozens of flies flew out from the rotting feces, each with a red eyeball printed on its wings.

……

Gu Xing rummaged through the ruins of the underground garage and found the diary of Kita Yosuke, whom he had never known about.

The yellowed pages were filled with strange mechanical structures, and the latest page had the words scribbled on it: "Don't trust what you see."

He suddenly remembered the asphalt that seeped out of the cracks in the dashboard when the truck rushed into the garage - those were not ordinary pollutants, but the rules used by the witch to solidify time and space.

Crow held down his hand as he was about to turn the page: "Look out the window!"

Dozens of vending machines were dispensing coins in the rain, each with Yosuke's face engraved on it.

The coin turned into a black vortex the moment it hit the ground, sucking in the nearby asphalt and vines.

……

Kita Eijiro stood on the edge of the observation deck at the service area, with a highway shrouded in thick fog in the distance.

He held up the can of coffee that had been smashed out of the vending machine.

"Use your remaining soul as a bet," his voice was mixed with the noise of electricity, "help me go back to the year before the blood sacrifice, when Yosuke was still alive."

The tempered glass of the observation deck was covered with vines, and each leaf reflected the moment of Gu Xing's death in different world lines.

The familiar melody of "It Rains Again Tonight in Nagasaki" came from afar, and this time the harmony came from hell.

"I have another piece of bad news for you,"

Wu Yao said to Gu Xing, "Over in Lidu, the witch's eyes are completely out of control."
