"What this means, Xiaoyou, you should know better than me. It means that he has no chance of surviving. That's why he didn't talk about what happened next. Otherwise, with his personality, he would definitely tell us his plans after dealing with the weirdness. "

"We're so well protected."

Shigure Kirara put the strange pistol on her waist and glanced at her phone. The time displayed on it was 5:[-] pm, and [-] minutes had passed.

"Everyone can die, but not him." Shigure Kirara said extremely seriously.

Saori Heyu did not deny that they had always been in a very safe state. Within Li Mo's ability, they would not have direct contact with the resurrected ghosts and would only do logistical work.

All risks are left to Li Mo to face alone. They only need to follow the command and don't need to take risks at all.

"I understand, Captain, you heard the story more completely than I did. There should be information in it that I don't know."

"Brother asked us to record the rules and habits of flesh and blood ghosts. I'm afraid he also wants to use these details to find out a better way to avoid contact between ghosts and flesh and blood ghosts during the Ghost Festival. Then we might as well go to the lake, and maybe we can find information about the strange source. , solving the problem at its root.”

"I won't stop you, but before leaving, use the notebook to predict the future. It can predict the future, although it may not be accurate."

Shigure Kirara asked in confusion: "But didn't the gloomy man say that it's best not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary?"

Saori Heu nodded and changed the topic: "Captain has already made up his mind, hasn't he? You will go no matter what the notebook says, so using the notebook is just to get more information, not to mention... the notebook can't always do it. Answer, let alone be willing to answer all questions.”

"Since I can't stop you, I can only do my best to help so that you can come back alive."

Saori Heyu always had a feeling that the notebook was more likely to be used by her brother than herself.

She is willing to be used by her just so that she can dig a hole for her brother.

"Without further ado, open it now and take a look. No matter what it says, I'm going to take a look at the lake."

"Ah."

Saori Tsuruyu placed the notebook on the table and turned to the middle page.

However, the notebook seemed to be alive and refused to be turned to the middle page. The first page arrogantly suppressed the back, exposing itself to the two people's vision.

Saori Tsuruyu asked: "What dangers are there in the lake in this town?"

【…】

Notebook didn't answer.

Kirara Shigure: "Is it the wrong way to ask the question? Or is the question too difficult?"

Saori Heyu: "I don't know. Let me try another question."

"What should Captain pay attention to when he goes to the lake? What can he do to come back alive?"

【…】

The notebook still didn't answer.

It was as if Saori Heyu's question was not heard at all, and there was no movement at all.

Saori Heyu: "Strange, has it become so honest now?"

Kirara Shigure took a deep breath, stared at the notebook intently, and said to Saori Kakuyu: "Let me ask."

Immediately, he rotated the notebook around to face him.

"I am Kirara Shigure. I am going to visit the lake mentioned by Mr. Storyteller. Notebook, tell me what I can do to help the gloomy man so that he can handle this supernatural incident and survive."

Kirara Shigure asked from another angle.

She didn't ask how she would make it back alive, or how to avoid the dangers around the lake.

But to find out how to help Li Mo survive.

Saori Heyu: "Captain, you have too many questions that I can't answer in my notebook..."

Before Saori Heyu could finish speaking, crooked blood-red handwriting began to appear on the notebook——

[My name is Shigure Kirara. When you read this sentence, I am already dead. I am already dead. I may still be alive. 】

The notebook repeated the death of Shigure Kirara twice, and also narrated the fact that he might be alive with doubt.

"This is……?"

Shigure Kirara looked at Saori Kakuyu and asked curiously.

She didn't know much about weird things, but Saori Heyu knew much more about this notebook than she did.

"It's nothing, this is its usual style. The first sentence is probably to bluff people, just watch the rest." Saori Heyu comforted.

Notebooks don't lie, Saori Tsuruyu has proven this, at least for now.

But the contradictory first sentence left her confused.

How can a person who is confirmed dead be in a "possibly alive" state?

Is it related to my brother going back in time for them?There is no evidence and it is unclear, so we can only put it aside for the time being.

[My name is Shigure Kirara, and I am going to go to the lake mentioned by the storyteller to find some truth about the strange source of this world. 】

[At [-]:[-] pm, I arrived at my destination. It was a dead lake with no one around.There was only the biting cold wind blowing, and my reflection in the lake was very strange. "She" stared at me, obviously a mirror image, but seemed to have her own independent thoughts. Maybe... I should stay away from the lake. 】

[At [-]:[-] in the evening, I drove quickly around the lake and found nothing after circling around.There is no one, no ghost, I seem to be the only one here. 】

[At [-]:[-] in the evening, I circled the lake again, but still found nothing. Could it be that I just returned empty-handed? 】

[At 10:10 p.m., I remembered what the storyteller said. He only found the books related to the story after the Xu hour. It was less than [-] minutes before the Xu hour. After the Xu hour, all the silent ghosts in this town would wake up. , but this time period also exposes what the town is hiding.I decided to stay here for [-] minutes. 】

[At 59:[-] pm, I took out the strange pistol and watched the surroundings.The flesh ghost wakes up from the dead in the town. The lake is a certain distance from the residential area, so I won't be attacked by the flesh ghost in a short period of time. 】

[At nine o'clock in the evening, I felt very cold, especially as I approached the lake, the chill became more obvious. 】

[There are still no flesh-and-blood ghosts around, but there is no unexpected surprise as mentioned by the storyteller. 】

[At [-]:[-] p.m., the lake began to roll, like boiling water.I squatted down and stretched out my hand to touch the lake water, but it was still cold. 】

[At [-]:[-] pm, I jumped into the lake and found a diary from a previous civilization. 】

[At [-]:[-] pm, I finished reading all the contents of the diary, and I have to tell him the above contents! 】

[At [-]:[-] pm, I wanted to swim back to the shore, but something grabbed my arm. I immediately pulled out a weird pistol, pointed it, and fired.I was saved, but I was still three days away from death. Three days later, "she" would come to me, but it didn't matter. I told Saori Heyu about my experience and the contents of the diary, and asked Saori Heyu to help. convey.As long as he knows the contents of the diary, he can deal with the source of the strangeness, and the world will return to its normal trajectory and will not be contaminated by the strangeness. 】

[My name is Shigure Kirara. Three days later, at [-]:[-] pm, "she" found me. 】

[Three days later at [-]:[-] pm, I died. 】

Shigure Kirara: "..."

Saori Heyu: "..."

After reading the notebook's narration, both of them fell into deep silence.

But silence cannot solve the problem.

The first one to speak was Shigure Kirara. She looked at Saori Kakuyu seriously and asked: "Xiaoyu, is the prediction in the notebook absolute?"

Saori Heyu was stunned for a moment, then spoke reluctantly: "If you still don't make changes after knowing the future, then the prophecy will be absolute."

"Captain, the notebook says very clearly that if you go, you will definitely die in three days, and there must be a ghost in the lake."

"You didn't do anything abnormal in the prophecy, so it's very likely that the prerequisite for knowing the truth is to trigger the murderous pattern of the ghost hiding in the lake."

"Even my brother wouldn't dare to trigger this fatal law easily. You..."

Shigure Kirara interrupted: "But we have indeed found a solution, haven't we? A solution that can truly solve the problem once and for all."

“It’s one thing not to have the ability to do something, but it’s another thing to have the ability but not do it.”

"Xiao You, you also said that the prophecy of the notebook is absolute, so as long as I jump into the lake after Xu Shi, see the diary from the previous civilization, and tell you the content above, you can tell the gloomy man after he wakes up. , he can completely deal with the strange source of this world and return the world to its normal trajectory."

"This future is also absolute."

Saori Heyu: "But..."

Shigure Kirara: "This is the first lesson I teach you, and it may be the last lesson."

"Life can be measured by value, but what determines the direction of life is only the destiny and responsibility of each person."

"If a bright and bright tomorrow can come, naturally someone will die in exchange for it."

"When I was a Valkyrie in Destiny, I always listened to the story of Destiny's Saint Kallen from 500 years ago."

"At that time, I thought she was so stupid. She was so powerful and powerful, why would she voluntarily die for a group of ignorant people? She clearly knew that her death would not wake up the ignorant people, nor would it make the ugly world an ugly place. Beautiful, meaningless death.”

"But gradually, after I survived missions that nearly escaped death again and again, I began to understand Saint Karen's approach."

"Death makes one's will clear, and let our most beautiful moment stay at the moment of death."

"Our lives are not entirely our own. When fate pushes us to die, we have a choice, but no choice."

"Whatever your heart desires, no regrets."

Shigure Kirara stood up and pushed open the door of the inn, with a strange pistol on his waist.

Saori Heyu wanted to say something to save her, but the words rolled up her throat and she took them back.

Valkyrie is such an existence, no matter which world she is in, a real Valkyrie will not evade her responsibilities because of fear of death.

This is something that has been decided since I embarked on this path.

"Oh!"

The door of the inn was closed, and Kirara Shigure left the Tooyuki Inn. Saori Kuruyu sat alone on a chair, looking at the closed door and fell into a long silent silence.

All Saori Heyu could do was guard the inn and not let anyone or a ghost enter.

"I hope I made the right decision to compromise."

"No, now is not the time to give up thinking."

Saori Heyu picked up the notebook again and thought about the hidden meaning of every sentence and word in it word by word.

"The reflection in the lake seems to have independent thoughts. Maybe it is the ghost who killed the captain three days later."

"It's just that the activity time was after Xu Shi, so I just looked at the captain and didn't attack directly."

"Of course, it's more likely that the captain has just arrived at the lake and hasn't had time to trigger the pattern yet."

"After Xu Shi, the hidden things in the town will be exposed. However, the ghost bride and the sedan-carrying team appeared in the daytime and are not hidden things."

"The captain jumped into the lake after a while and found a diary from a previous civilization, which shows that the hidden items are probably the belongings of someone from the previous civilization, and there are more than one."

"And the most important thing is that when the captain was swimming back to the shore, something grabbed his arm. He was able to temporarily save his life through a strange pistol."

"But three days later, the ghost will still come to the door. The time is exactly the same as when it grabbed the captain's arm - [-]:[-] pm."

"At this time, the captain and I must be hiding in Yuanyue Inn, and my brother has not woken up yet. Yuanyue Inn can hide the breath of living people, but it is useless to the ghost, so the killing law triggered by the captain is absolute. Once triggered, you will die. undoubtedly……"

"Tsk! I don't understand. If the captain could escape with a weird pistol the first time, why did he die in the hands of that ghost three days later? The weird pistol was ineffective? Or... the ghost's method of killing the captain was Conceptual killing laws that cannot be intervened by external forces?"

Saori Heyu covered her head with both hands and tried her best to analyze the contents on the first page of the notebook.

Whether Shigure Kirara can survive depends on whether she can find out the flaw in it, the law of delayed death. She must do something in these three days, and cannot just watch Shigure Kirara die in front of her.

Not only Li Mo couldn't accept it, but Saori Heyou himself couldn't accept it either.

Thinking...thinking...thinking...

----

At the same time, as the notebook said, at [-]:[-] in the evening, Kirara Shigure jumped into the lake and found a very special box at the bottom of the water. It was obviously at the bottom of the water, but it was wrapped with colorful flowers. The flowers bloomed miraculously, as if they were not affected by the lake water at all.

After opening it, a diary from a previous civilization was placed inside.

The handwriting on the diary is very neat, like a girl's handwriting.

"I had a dream last night. I dreamed about the imperial-level Honkaiju Ganesha that I encountered during the day when Mo and dozens of other team members went to recapture the Australian mining area."

"It killed a lot of people and then ate most of my body."

"I'm dying, but my body is not cold at all. On the contrary, my eyes can't see anything, and my neck is sore... Do I only have one head left? No wonder I can't feel the cold in my body."

"I heard Mo crying. He was crying hard, like a child who had been wronged. When did he appear?"

"I don't know, I only heard these two sentences——"

""Hua, it's okay, I'm by your side, I'm by your side...""

""Don't die, I won't let you die...""

"My father is dead, Captain Himiko is also dead, and everyone close to me in the fifth team has been killed by me. Now, I have killed a new teammate. The next one may be..."

"Obviously I am the one who deserves to die the most, why is Mo so nice to me? Always following me? Arguing with people who slander me, protecting me during missions..."
