She didn't care where she was, nor did she care about her situation. However, in this state of sinking, she felt that she was being pulled slowly forward by an invisible force. The silk threads originally wrapped around her body were torn apart, and she fell into the depths of the city.

Carcosa, she suddenly knew the name of this city for some reason, and when she came to her senses, she found herself in an old church. In front of her was a figure in a yellow robe. He slowly stretched out his hand to her, staring at her with a pale mask, and an indescribable voice sounded in her mind.

"You have no one to rely on, do you?"

"Dolls have never been able to rely on anything."

"You seek death, don't you?"

"I am not afraid of death. I have lost the meaning of living."

Ruoye Mu answered calmly and softly, not at all frightened by this strange experience. She turned around and wanted to leave, but found that the yellow-robed figure was still in front of her. There was no increase in the number of figures, but Ruoye Mu inexplicably felt that He was standing in the position of master of ceremonies, husband and god.

"Then come, come to me. You no longer care about your world, so come and be reborn."

"I don't care about the new life you give me. I just want a good sleep."

"Promise me, and all your desires will come true. Refuse me, and you will never get a good night's sleep."

The voice continued to narrate slowly and steadily, the tone was calm as if stating an established fact. Ruo Yemu sighed, turned around again and tried to leave, but after taking a step, he found that the figure in yellow robe was already right in front of him.

He opened his arms, and beneath his yellow robe seemed to be wriggling darkness and countless weirdness, but it also seemed as if there was nothing. Ruo Yemu felt himself being gently hugged, and a burning pain came from his collarbone, and the church in his vision became distorted and chaotic.

"..."

She opened her eyes and realized after a while that she was awake. She did not care about this strange dream, but when she stood up, she suddenly saw a yellow mark appear in the center of her collarbone, exactly the same as the one on the cover of "The King in Yellow".

Ruo Ye Mu frowned slightly. She tried to wipe it off with a wet towel, but after some effort, the skin became red and swollen. She sighed and took a fruit knife to cut off the skin, but as soon as the flesh left the body, the yellow mark on it disappeared instantly, and the next moment it reappeared in the original position where it had healed.

Ruoye Mu pursed her lips and after thinking about it, she decided to give up this attempt. She picked up the knife and prepared to stab it into her eye socket, but as soon as she raised her hand, she found that she could not move at all. The yellow mark in the center of her collarbone emitted a faint light, enveloping her body.

After a stalemate, she found that unless she gave up this plan, she would not be able to control her arms at all. After sighing deeply again, Ruo Ye Mu had to put the fruit knife back to its original place.

"..."

After realizing that her attempts might be stopped, she couldn't help but start thinking about how to

He tried to regain control of his body, but at this moment, a cautious voice with a hint of expectation suddenly sounded outside the door.

"Ms. Ruoye, are you awake? Can I come in now?"

"come in."

"Okay, then I'll bother you..."

Nobuo Toyokawa opened the door while answering, but he froze in mid-sentence, staring at the yellow mark on Wakaba Mu's collarbone with a look of great surprise.

"Do you recognize this mark?"

"I know you, of course I know you. This is the mark of my Lord! You, you are really the chosen one?! I knew we would succeed after all!"

Toyokawa Nobuo subconsciously made a prayer gesture in ecstasy, while Mu stared at him expressionlessly.

"You lied to me. You said I only had to wait one more night. But now I have no way to end my life. Why would this mark stop me?"

"End your life? My God, my dear lady, you really don't need to think like that."

Toyokawa Nobuo was stunned for a moment, then bowed deeply to her with great respect.

"Because from now on, you are the bride of my Lord! You will soon pass through the time-space gate and go to the Lord. Then you will have everything. Why would you want to kill yourself?"

"I'm just a puppet. How can I own everything like you said?"

"Dolls… Wakaba Ryohei and Mori Minami are damned, look what they did to you, but from now on, you don't have to worry about them at all."

Toyokawa Nobuo was startled by her words, but he quickly reacted and smiled with the utmost humility.

"Because you have received the Lord's love and belong to Him, they will absolutely not dare to do anything to you again. If you wish, they will immediately be subjected to the most cruel punishment and torture. You can do whatever you want to them!"

"..."

Ruo Yemu was stunned by the answer she had never imagined. She looked at the person in front of her blankly, trying to find any contempt or sarcasm in his expression, but she only saw the most sincere awe, and even a little panic.

She was just a doll, so how could she command such respect from those in power among humans? As for the changes that had taken place in her... well, that was the only sign.

She looked down at the yellow mark on her collarbone and suddenly felt a little complicated. She was still a puppet, but her master had now become a being far superior to humans, so these people began to respect her... The same thing was that she still had no choice.

After a moment of silence, Ruo Yemu shook his head.

"I have no interest in taking revenge on them. You can arrange it however you want."

After all, Xiang no longer wants her, so it doesn't matter whether she dies or goes somewhere, she doesn't care.

"I'll accept it, I always do."

Chapter 112 Looking for a Relative

"Brother He, we're almost in Tokyo."

On the ship, a woman spoke softly in Chinese to another seemingly kind uncle, and the latter nodded slightly, and the ring on his hand made a crisp sound when tapping on the railing.

"Yes, we're almost there. I've traveled a long way this time. I even came all the way to Japan because I was so excited. I really can't blame the Toyokawa family for being so blind that they found something on me."

He shook his head helplessly, his tone was light, but his words were extremely vicious.

"If this force doesn't have any backing and is just a bunch of idiots, we'll just kill them all. We've brought quite a few people with us this time, so it won't be a problem to deal with ordinary people."

"Of course... But there's a committee in Tokyo, and Mrs. Tsuzuki is quite powerful. If we make any big moves, she might just take action, and that would be troublesome."

The woman reminded softly, and He Fang nodded casually.

"Hmm, so if we do take action, we need to get back quickly. Old Lady Tsuzuki is indeed a troublesome person. I don't know what kind of magic she practices or which star god she worships. Her methods are really powerful... Anyway, try not to conflict with the committee."

"That's right, the sisters will all keep an eye out for her, but I remember Xiuyun seems to be in Tokyo. Brother He, you've finally made it this far, so you should make time to look for her, right?"

"That's right. Sigh, I don't know what she was thinking. She insisted that this craft was harmful to people, and ended up running off with a Jap devil. Ha."

He Fang sighed in annoyance, picked up the pipe, took a puff, and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"It's been decades, and I'm no longer angry, but she just won't contact me. Calculating the time, she's almost 70 or 80 years old. If I don't look for her properly, I'm afraid I won't be able to see her again."

"Brother He, don't worry. We will definitely find Xiuyun this time."

"I hope so... Oh, the boat has docked. Have you all eaten your brains?"

He Fang nodded silently, then suddenly remembered something and looked at the woman, and she smiled and answered in fluent Japanese,

"They've all eaten. Those people have no background and won't cause any trouble at all."

"Well, let's go then."

He Fang picked up the luggage and led the others off the boat. Then, at first sight, she saw the woman with the fan waiting at the dock, attracting many people's astonished gazes. She could not help but greet her unexpectedly.

"Auntie, have you been waiting here for a long time? Tell me earlier so we can send someone to pick you up."

"No rush, I want to play in Tokyo for a while longer."

The fan woman smiled and patted his shoulder.

"I've roughly investigated the situation of the Toyokawa family. They are followers of Hastur. This time they want to help their master find a bride, but they are too blind to find me."

"Oh, that one, it seems they are not without foundation. So, what do you want, Auntie?"

"Whatever. I'm not interested in dealing with them. Hastur is the only one of his kind in Tokyo. He's always been very protective of his people. If I kill them, I'll never be safe again."

The fan woman shrugged, and He Fang nodded slightly.

"Okay, then it's up to you. If you want to stay here a little longer, that's fine. Mrs. Tsuzuki won't find us that quickly. By the way, are you hungry? I'll get you some Japanese brain flower."

"Sure, just find someone who won't cause any trouble even if they die... By the way, Fangzi, isn't your daughter here? I can help you look for her."

"Okay, I'll trouble you, auntie."

He Fang nodded slightly, then took out an ancient hairpin from her pocket. The woman touched it lightly, and then He Fang felt a strong connection not far away.

"Eh, so close? Can't be that lucky?"

He smiled in surprise, thanked the woman, and quickly followed the guidance in his mind. He soon saw a girl with twin ponytails who had a suppressed expression and was silently gazing at the sea.

"This look..."

He Fang was stunned for a moment after seeing her eyes clearly. A corner of his memory began to revive. He pursed his lips with a complicated expression, walked forward and asked with a tentative smile,

"Hello, little girl. I'm a foreigner and I'm a little unfamiliar with Tokyo. Could you please give me directions?"

"Huh? Uh, of course."

Ichigaya Yusaki was brought back to reality by his voice. After a moment of hesitation, he quickly nodded.

"Where are you going?"

"Well... Actually, to be specific, it's like looking for someone. Do you know Dong

Which area in Beijing has more people with the surname Ichigaya?

He Fang asked softly, causing Ichigaya Yusaki to blink in surprise and answer hesitantly in a low voice.

"Um, I do know that. Actually, my last name is Ichigaya... Do you have a friend with the same last name?"

"Strictly speaking, he's my son-in-law. It was only a few years after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, and he abducted my daughter for no apparent reason. It caused a lot of gossip, and I spent a lot of time dealing with them... I've strayed off topic. Can you take us there, little girl? I'll pay you."

"No, I'm just showing you the way. Please follow me."

Glancing at He Fang, who looked to be no more than fifty or sixty years old, Yousaki couldn't help but wonder if he was talking nonsense. However, she wasn't interested in that. She shook her head and turned around to lead the way.

After parting with Kasumi and the others, she was still filled with suppressed pain and unknowingly came to the dock to try to clear her mind, but she didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

She silently thought about leading He Fang and the others all the way to her home, raised her hand and pointed at the sign of the Shigu area.

"This is it. My grandma happens to know the area very well. If you're looking for someone, she should be able to help."

"That's great, please ask your grandma to come out."

He Fang smiled and nodded vigorously. After watching Yousaki walk in, her smile slowly faded, and her expression gradually became complicated and full of emotion. A woman also realized something at this time and spoke softly,

"Brother He, her grandmother couldn't be..."

"It's very likely that her eyes are exactly the same as those of young Xiuyun... It seems that we have really found it this time."

He Fang nodded thoughtfully, staring intently at the door. After a moment, an old but still familiar voice rang out.

"Excuse me, who's looking for someone? Everyone in this area is surnamed Ichigaya. Can't you just give me a surname..."

When the old woman went out and saw He Fang, her voice suddenly stopped, and her smile froze on her face, while He Fang sighed.

"Long time no see, Xiuyun."

Chapter 113 Arisaki is unwilling and powerless

"Grandma, do you know each other?"

Arisaki looked at Ichigaya Manmi in surprise, and the latter shook his head slowly with a stiff expression, his voice a hoarseness she had never heard before.

"No, I don't know him at all... Yusaki, go back inside first. I have something to talk to him about."

"Can't I listen?"

"It's something rather boring. You go back first."

Ichigaya Manmi sighed, and Arisaki nodded after thinking about it. However, after entering, she did not go back to her room, but hid behind the door and continued to listen to their conversation.

"That child calls you grandma, which means she is my great-granddaughter."

He Fang watched Yousaki enter the room, then turned to look at Ichigaya Manmi with a smile and spoke softly in a Shanghainese accent,

"She's a really cute kid. Even when she's feeling down, she's willing to help guide strangers. She's kind, a lot like you."

"You didn't come here to reminisce about the past, did you?"

The old woman sneered and stared at him warily, still answering only in Japanese.

"I'm telling you in advance, I can't go back with you. I've lived here for decades. I've already been a local. My name now is Ichigaya Manshi, not He Xiuyun."

"Don't worry, I guess I can guess what you're thinking. Forcing you will never have any good results. I understand that."

He Fang shrugged and casually switched back to Japanese. Looking at her old appearance, a look of emotion and sigh appeared on her face.

"But I still feel sorry for what happened back then, Xiuyun. I know you don't like me, but this skill is indeed useful. Even if you don't accept it, you are still a member of the He family, and that child also has He family blood flowing in his body."

"How about letting her know about this? She may still be a child, but I think she has the right to choose."

"impossible,"

Ichigaya Manshi gritted his teeth and refused coldly.

"I'm telling you, you and your evildoers should get as far away from me as possible. If you want to kill me, you can do it now. Otherwise, leave Tokyo immediately. I don't want to see you again."

"I'm afraid that's not going to work. I came here not just to find you, but also to spend some time with my aunt."
