So he told her about his good luck that the place where he swiped happened to be the inner room of the guest room, and how he had established a bond with Kallen. Penglai Temple Jiuxiao was amazed and said things like he was worthy of Aibo and was able to establish a new partnership so quickly.

Only Theresa looked away and laughed. Friend? Partner? I don't even want to expose you! When the synchronization link was made before, there were one or two "intimate" scenes with Kallen, which almost made Theresa's Tao heart collapse. I don't know if it was because of Kallen or because of Wang Chen.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting, Chen. I seemed to hear you calling my name~" At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, and then Kallen pushed the door open, and Yae Sakura, with the gauze on her wound changed, walked in again.

"Everyone, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you with my ugly behavior today." Yaezakura knelt on the ground and said solemnly.

"Ms. Sakura, what is going on?" Karin asked, pointing at Lin who was still unconscious.

"This is my own injustice... It all started a few years ago." Then, Yaezakura began to tell a sad story. There was once a pair of happy sisters who could have grown up in the village without any restrictions. The elder sister wanted to become the most powerful shrine maiden, while the sickly younger sister wanted to go out and see the world.

So the elder sister promised that when she became the most powerful witch, she would take her younger sister and follow the traveling merchants to see the outside world. The younger sister waited for this day with full expectation. However, everything was ruined by a drought and the poisoning of a cult, and finally... it came to an unfinished end.

Yae Sakura killed her beloved sister with her own hands. Under the instigation of the villagers and the coercion of her father... she killed Yae Rin. At the moment Rin died, heavy rain fell from the sky. The villagers were cheering. But Yae Sakura's mood was like the heavy rain, venting and crying. But in the end, she could only stare blankly at the rain washing away the blood and the tears on her face, as if all the sins were washed away by the heavy rain.

Everything in the village returned to normal.

……

"This is the whole story... I know that I have committed a serious sin. And I often wonder, if I had made up my mind earlier, not fearing my father's majesty, and took Rin away in advance, would everything be different?" Yaezakura said, stroking Lin's forehead.

"How can this be Miss Sakura's fault? It's clearly the fault of your father and those villagers who were poisoned by the evil god. It has nothing to do with you." Kallen rubbed her red eyes and said emotionally.

Obviously, Kallen was somewhat empathetic to Yaezakura's tragic story. Theresa, who was standing by, had received the information from Wang Chen in advance, so she was fine, but her eyes were also slightly sore. Although Jiuxiao of Penglai Temple didn't look much different, she had cried and tasted it once before, so she looked relatively calm. Of course, it could also be that she was now a doll and couldn't cry at all.

As for Wang Chen...I've tasted it too many times, so I'd better take it away (sad).

But Yaezakura shook her head and said with a wry smile: "But in the end, I killed Rin with my own hands. I still can't forget the feeling of the knife piercing my body. This is the sin I bear."

"Then what's the matter with this child?" Karen asked.

"I don't know... Actually, I know in my heart that she is not Rin... Even if she was reincarnated immediately on the day of her death, it would take her 12 years to grow up this big." Yaezakura said slowly, "But, it's too coincidental... Especially those words she said, which makes me wonder if Rin has become a vengeful spirit and has taken over the body of someone else... and is here to seek revenge on me."

"If that's the case, I would rather exchange my life for Rin's rest in peace." Yaezakura said with her eyes closed.

"Miss Ying..." Karen didn't know how to dissuade the other party, so she turned her head to look at her backbone Wang Chen, hoping that he could give some advice. After all, in Karen's impression, Wang Chen was very good at coaxing girls.

"Miss Miko, so... will you hold that kind of ceremony again tomorrow? After all, that child just said that kind of words." At this time, Wang Chen felt that the time was almost right. He did not want to continue to pity and sympathize with Yaezakura, but to put this question in front of Yaezakura directly.

Right when Lin was beside her, right when Yaesakura felt the most guilty.

"I..." Yaezakura didn't expect Wang Chen to ask this question out of the blue. The others were silent and didn't speak. Theresa and Houraiji Jiuxiao knew what Wang Chen was going to do next, so they naturally wouldn't stop him. As for Kallen, although she didn't understand why Wang Chen not only didn't comfort her this time, but was also a little aggressive. However, out of trust in Wang Chen, she endured it and kept her mouth shut.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Chapter 131: Untying the Heart Knot (Part 2)

"……I have no idea."

After being silent for an unknown amount of time, Yae Sakura finally shook her head in pain. She opened her eyes, her eyes full of helplessness and confusion, and said, "From the moment I was born, my father and the people around me told me to be a miko. The person I care about most in this world is my sister Rin. But Rin is gone. What can I do now? I only have..."

"So...are you going to keep doing this? Just like that kid said? Are you going to keep sacrificing human lives for the living? Are the shackles and responsibilities imposed on you by the villagers really that important to you? Are they so important that you can just turn a blind eye and respond to their demands again! To kill more children like Rin!"

The continuous questioning directly bombarded Yae Sakura's heart. For a moment, Yae Sakura couldn't help but want to cover her ears. She felt that the man in front of her seemed to see through her heart, which made her a little scared. Yae Sakura couldn't help but tremble and said: "No... Don't say it anymore. I don't know. I don't know..."

"Then answer me well, and explain it clearly in front of this child who is like your sister. If those villagers force you to sacrifice her again, what will you do? Tell me, Yaesakura!" Wang Chen asked.

"Oooh..." Yae Sakura's whole body trembled. She held her head tightly with both hands and answered with difficulty: "No... I don't want it... but the sacrifice... can't be stopped... I can't stop it no matter what. Just like that day... I can't resist."

"Why can't you resist? Now we have me, Kallen, and even Xiaosha will encourage you. What's more, don't you value this child so much? Then what are you afraid of now?" Wang Chen grabbed Yaesakura's hands and made her look straight into his eyes.

"I... just can't resist." Yae Sakura said, avoiding Wang Chen's direct gaze.

"Yakura... you didn't stop the ritual because of the trauma of the past... nor because you had to rely on your duty as a miko to force yourself to live. You wanted... revenge, right?"

When Wang Chen uttered the word "revenge", Yaezakura's pupils instantly lost color, but this time her eyes did not evade. Instead, she stared at Wang Chen blankly and said softly, "Revenge... why?"

Wang Chen put the other person's hand down, and then slowly said: "Because other than that, I can't think of a reasonable explanation. Rather, it would be strange not to resent those people, right?"

"Even... the most crucial point. Yaesakura, your father whom you always mention... where is he now? I haven't heard any news about him in the village, nor have I seen any trace of him in the grave?" Wang Chen said.

After saying this, Yae Sakura lowered her head, her hair spread out, covering her face, making it impossible to guess her thoughts through her expression. But Wang Chen no longer needed to guess. In fact, Wang Chen had always felt that a key piece of the puzzle was missing from Yae Sakura's thoughts and some of her unreasonable behaviors. Wang Chen also thought at first that Yae Sakura was really living because of the shadow of her childhood sister's murder and the only motivation left to support her as a shrine maiden. He even considered that Yae Sakura had given up on herself and was living like a zombie.

However, now, even though everyone values ​​Lin so much and she has friends around her who can support her, Yae Sakura still can't make up her mind to overthrow the sacrifice and fight against it. Why is that? The previous reasons obviously don't make sense... unless Yae Sakura has a deeper obsession in her heart than these two.

A deeper obsession... When Wang Chen thought of this, he quickly remembered something. Before, Lin wanted to kill Yaezakura and all the villagers because of Jiuxiao's death. He almost went berserk and strangled Lin to death because Jiuxiao turned into a puppet. What about Yaezakura? When she faced Lin's death, was she only thinking about her sins and guilt, regret and self-blame?

No! There are two more emotions, which are hotter and deeper than the previous ones! Enough to swallow and suppress all emotions - anger and resentment.

At this moment, Wang Chen finally found Yae Sakura's deepest obsession - revenge on the person who committed all the sins together! This is the obsession that supports Yae Sakura to keep going, and the best proof is that the father mentioned by Yae Sakura has no trace of his existence in the entire Yae Village.

At this moment, Wang Chen recalled the old comic story about Yae Sakura's Sakura Samsara that he had read. Yae Sakura took the initiative to open the box containing the Herrscher and took the initiative to accept the other party. Yae Sakura has always longed for such revenge. Even though she killed the father of the chief culprit, the anger still did not subside, but she gradually suppressed it because of her kindness. But the more she suppressed it, the deeper this obsession would become, and it would take root deeply in the deepest part of Yae Sakura's heart.

Until she met Kallen, until she touched the box, and heard the temptation of the Herrscher, Yae Sakura chose to accept the other party without hesitation.

"You have always longed for revenge in your heart, right? After all, you can't even forgive yourself for being forced to kill your sister, so how can you forgive those who actually killed your sister?" Wang Chen said slowly, "The sacrifice... was actually always promoted by you in secret, right? You opened the box, didn't you?"

"Wait? Box? What box?" The moment Karin heard the word 'box', she had a bad feeling and began to reach towards her waist while asking hurriedly.

"Don't touch it...it's empty." Wang Chen said.

At this moment, Kallen's face completely changed. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Wang Chen signaling her not to worry and pointing at Yae Sakura, which was equivalent to telling Kallen to deal with Yae Sakura's problem first. So Kallen could only sit there and watch Wang Chen and Yae Sakura continue to confront each other.

"Hehe..." Yae Sakura raised her head, smiled miserably, and said, "Mr. Wang Chen... you have a pair of eyes that can see through people's hearts. Then can you tell Sakura what she should do? That monster told me that I should kill them."

"Then Yaezakura, do you want to kill them?" Wang Chen asked.

"Think!" A sharp shout was heard, surprising everyone who heard it. They had not expected that Yaezakura, who always seemed very humble and spoke softly, would make such a sharp sound.

"I want them all to die! Why! Why must there be a damn sacrifice! Why must Rin be sacrificed! Why can they let me kill one child after another so righteously!!" Yaesakura's voice became louder and louder, with a faint hint of crying in it. All the resentment and sadness burst out at this moment.

"They are the ones who deserve to die! I will let all of them taste what it feels like to be killed as a sacrifice in a sacrifice!" Yaezakura clenched her fists, venting her emotions that had been suppressed for too long, and black energy similar to that which had just appeared on Lin began to appear on her body.

But Wang Chen immediately stepped forward, grabbed Yaezakura's hands, and immediately injected the power of the Origin into her, forcibly expelling the corrosive effect of the Herrscher. Even if he couldn't expel it, he had to suppress the other party from making trouble. Then, Wang Chen also said: "Since you want to kill them so much, and want them to taste what Rin felt before she died... then do it."

"Eh?" Yaezakura was stunned after hearing what the other party said, not knowing what was going on.

Chapter 132: Untying the Heart Knot (Part 2)

After venting her emotions and having the erosion in her body removed by Wang Chen, Yae Sakura regained some clarity of mind, but after hearing the other party's words, she was stunned. She thought the other party would stop her, but she didn't expect that he would be like the guy deep in her heart, "encouraging" her to take revenge?

"Is it strange? Do you think I would hope you don't seek revenge?" Wang Chen shook his head and said, "I never thought that a few words could dispel a person's long-term desire for revenge. Moreover, if I were in your shoes, I don't think I would be better than you."

"It's just that I hope that you, Yaesakura, decide to take revenge on those people out of your own will, rather than being influenced by those gods, ghosts, and monsters. You should have the correct judgment method to decide how to take revenge on those people. To take targeted revenge on those who really deserve revenge, such as: your father, those who participated in the incident, rather than those children who were just born not long ago." Wang Chen said slowly, "Don't forget Yaesakura, you are no longer the weak girl you were before. You already have enough power for revenge, don't you?"

"So, Yaezakura, what's your answer? Do you want to draw your sword now and write off all the grudges without waiting until tomorrow to hold the festival... or do you want to do something else?"

After saying that, Wang Chen released his hand. He had noticed that the corrosive force in Yaezakura's body had begun to dissipate. Now Yaezakura truly had her own will and was no longer controlled by the power of the Corrosive Ruler.

Yae Sakura fell silent, her hand on the spirit sword at her waist, but she didn't pull it out. She finally put her hand down, as if her spirit was suddenly depressed. Finally, Yae Sakura said, "The day my father died, I naively thought that I had escaped his shadow, and I should be happy about his death. I should be happy for venting my revenge. But in the end... I felt nothing."

"Nothingness, emptiness. In the end, I realized that this was just... I lost another familiar person." Yaezakura looked back at the window and said, "Even the stubborn old priests who held the main ceremony died for their own strange reasons. Maybe evil will be punished... But, my emptiness is getting bigger and bigger."

"As for the remaining people in the village, I hate them for fanning the flames and for their stupidity and ignorance. I cannot forgive them. I have thought about killing them all, just like I said just now that I wanted to kill them all. But now, heh, I can't do it." Yaezakura smiled bitterly and then said;

"As expected, I can't kill by my own will. Unlike my father, although I hate and cannot forgive the people in the village, I can't take their lives. I am just a guy who accepted the bewitching of the demon and finally fell into depravity. It turns out that stupid and cowardly people are not just those villagers I hate... but also myself." Yaezakura smiled self-deprecatingly, and then said, "Rinruo is watching from heaven, and she must be completely disappointed in me, a stupid sister who made mistakes. Just like this child."

"That's not true!" At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out. Yae Sakura was struck by lightning when she heard the voice. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Lin, but found that it was not Lin who spoke. At this time, Wang Chen took off the feathers on his ears and said softly, "Remove it."

The next moment, the feathers began to change, and a petite figure walked out from the light emitted by the feathers. It was a pink-haired girl wearing a yukata.

"You...you..." Yaezakura looked at Lin, then at the girl floating in the air, feeling as if in a dream.

"Sister..." The other party's light address directly revealed her identity.

"I... am I..."

"This is not an illusion, Yaezakura." Wang Chen interrupted Yaezakura's doubts, and then said: "This is a wisp of undispersed soul that I found on Lin's tombstone. I brought her here on purpose. In fact, you have seen her many times, but you have always regarded her as an illusion."

"Don't run away this time, Yae Sakura. Face the person who loves you most in this world - your sister Yae Rin." Wang Chen said in a deep voice.

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Yaezakura trembled again. She looked up at Yaezakura Rin floating in the air, her voice a little excited and a little nervous, and said: "You...are you really Rin?"

"Sister...you...you big fool!" Yae Rin also had a trace of transparent tears in the corner of her eyes. She threw herself directly on Yae Sakura. Although she almost passed through her, Yae Rin still hugged Yae Sakura tightly and cried, "Sister finally, finally is willing to listen to Rin's voice."

Yae Sakura remembered what Wang Chen said before, that she had seen Rin many times. Yes, it turned out that Rin had always been by her side. But because of her stupidity and guilt, she had never dared to face her and regarded her as an illusion. Yae Sakura also hugged Yae Rin. Although she didn't feel anything, at this moment, Yae Sakura really felt the presence of her sister. It was just like many years ago, when she carried her sister on her back to find the wandering merchants passing by the village and listened to the stories of the outside world.

"You're right, Rin... Sister is really a big fool." Yae Sakura shed tears at this moment, and the people present were also a little emotional about the reunion of the two sisters. Kallen next to her had already started to touch her nose. Wang Chen also noticed that a guy lying in the quilt pretended to adjust his sleeping position while he was asleep, turned his back, and then kept shaking in the quilt.

"This is really..." Wang Chen naturally would not ruin the atmosphere and expose this guy who had already woken up. He was quite moved when he saw Ying Lin's reunion. But his mental state was not relaxed at all. He was waiting to see if the Herrscher of Corrosion would make another move. But surprisingly, the power of the Herrscher of Corrosion never appeared.

"Could it be that it was scared by all the people here?" Wang Chen himself thought this speculation was impossible. However, Wang Chen would not let down his guard and always pay attention to the movements around him.

……

The sisters reunited and reminisced about the past, and Yae Sakura finally faced the deepest obsession in her heart. After getting the persuasion from her younger sister Rin, Yae Sakura finally untied a knot that had been buried in her heart for many years.

"Sister... Rin has never blamed her for that incident. Rin only hopes that she can cheer up and find her own happiness. Then she can become a Buddha safely." Yae Rin said, "So... seeing her sister being tortured by the fox demon, Rin really didn't know what to do. Rin hated herself for being a ghost and not being able to help her sister. Fortunately, her elder brother found Rin and brought everything back on track."

After hearing her sister Rin's words, Yae Sakura was silent for a moment. Then, she faced Wang Chen and Karin, bowed deeply, and performed the standard kamikaze posture in front of them.

"Ms. Sakura, what are you doing?" Karin said in surprise.

Chapter 133 Telling the truth about reincarnation and the world

Wang Chen had guessed what Yaezakura would say next. After all, Yaezakura had completely resolved her worries, so there was only one thing left. It was about the monster she had released, the Herrscher Feiyuwan.

Sure enough, after Yaezakura got into the posture of sitting down, she said, "I'm sorry! Because of my stupidity and cowardice, I released the monster sealed in the box. Be it a sacrifice or a monster. Everything is because I released that monster! If it weren't for Mr. Wang Chen... I'm afraid I would also... completely become a monster."

"Everyone in the village will die... These innocent children will suffer the same fate as Rin... This is the last thing I want to see. But I have gradually lost myself... Hatred has consumed me, and I have become a lackey of the evil without knowing it. I have made a big mistake." Yaezakura said while kneeling.

"I can't resist it... nor can I stop it... Now it has just left my body. Once it comes back, I will be completely out of control. I'm scared... I'm scared to the end, even if Rin comes back to life and appears in front of me, I will kill her without hesitation... I beg you two, if the monster leans over me again and I can no longer resist, please kill me!" Yaesakura pleaded.

"Sister." Yae Rin said anxiously after hearing this. But Yae Sakura was not moved by it. She sincerely regretted the mistake she had made.

"Ms. Yaesakura." Wang Chen finally took the initiative to step forward this time, helped Yaesakura up, and said: "Ms. Yaesakura, you have already untied your knot, so don't blame yourself anymore. I will not take your life. On the contrary, I hope that Miss Yaesakura can join us to fight this monster together."

"No... It's impossible. I can't fight it..." Yae Sakura wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Chen: "I know you are worried, Miss Yae Sakura. But didn't you just feel my power? Didn't I free you and Lin from the control of that monster?"

"What's more, I believe that as a sister, you will be able to resist the invasion of the other party this time. You will not become their pawn again. You must also show some confidence in front of your sister, Yae Sakura. It's not easy to meet again, isn't it?" Wang Chen looked at Yae Rin, and then said, "Besides, didn't Rin say it? She hopes her sister can have a happy future. Then don't say such self-destructive words anymore."

Yae Sakura looked at Yae Rin who had been expecting and somewhat anxious, and then looked at Wang Chen and Kallen, two powerful warriors. She finally nodded affirmatively and said, "As long as you two don't mind Sakura's guilty body."

"Okay, this way, our chances of defeating that guy will increase." Wang Chen said after letting out a breath.

"In that case, Captain, we can start telling the truth," Theresa asked.

"The truth? What truth? Wait? Xiaosha, what did you call Chen just now?" Karen was stunned. She felt something was wrong with Theresa's sudden words.

"Lady Karen, please allow me to introduce myself again. My name is Theresa, and my full name is Theresa Apokalis." Theresa said slowly.

"Apokalis! No wonder... I always feel that this little girl is obviously not from the East. Is she from the Apokalis family? Wait a minute, Chen, what is going on?" After hearing this, Karen was obviously surprised. She turned to look at Wang Chen and asked.

"Karen, first of all, please forgive me for hiding this from you. In fact, I have never known how to explain this to you." Wang Chen then looked at Yae Sakura and said, "This matter is the same for you, Miss Yae Sakura. What I am going to say next may completely subvert your imagination. But I also ask you to listen to me patiently and believe this matter..."

Afterwards, Wang Chen explained the truth of this world, including the matters of the Herrscher of Corrosion and the Herrscher of a Thousand, as well as his own and Theresa's identities, and his own guesses about Kallen and Yae Sakura's identities.

“Wait... you’re saying that this world is fake... it’s all created by that demon fox named Herrscher of Corrosion and the puppet named Herrscher of the Thousand?” Kallen’s face looked a little ugly.

"We have always been in a cycle? I only have the memory of these three days? Only Rin is not affected?" After listening to this, Yaezakura looked at Rin, wanting to ask if this was true. As a result, Rin nodded slightly, confirming Wang Chen's statement.

"That means... we were all created by that monster to bring disaster to those who came in from outside? Don't we have any way to resist?" Yaezakura held her head. The confidence she had finally regained was destroyed again after learning the truth. She muttered to herself: "Could it be... everything is fake? The previous memories, everything... hatred, guilt, are these all fake?"

"That's not the case. At least in this world, you, Kallen, and Yae Rin. The three of you are the most special existences, and you are not forged by the other party." Wang Chen said, "In reality, we have seen Yae Rin and Yae Sakura, which means that the experiences and memories of the two of you exist, but I am not clear about your relationship with the two in reality. At least one thing is that Miss Yae Sakura in reality hopes that we can come to this world to do something."

"I am the one you are looking for now? What do you want Mr. Wang Chen to do?" After hearing Wang Chen's explanation, Yaezakura sighed and said, "I'm sorry, I feel my mind is very confused and I really can't understand what this means."

"...So what does the outside world look like now? According to what you said, not too much time should have passed in the outside world." Kallen asked.

"Um... Lady Kallen. Actually, you are a person from 500 years ago. In history, you have already died." Theresa hesitated for a moment, but finally told Kallen the fact.

"It's actually... so long has passed? What about Chen? Although I had a feeling that Chen would live a very long time..." Karen looked at Wang Chen and said.

"I'm sorry, Karen, I have to apologize to you for something important here." Wang Chen said, "I... don't know you, Karen."

"What? You don't know him? How is that possible?" Karen asked in surprise.

"There are only two explanations. The first is that your memory, Kallen, was tampered with by the Herrscher. All your memories of me were fabricated by him. The second is that I have lost my memory of you." Wang Chen said, "I think... it is very likely the first one... um!"

Wang Chen wanted to say something, but suddenly found that his lips were blocked. He saw Karin looking angry and blocking his mouth with hers.

"Fuck!" Theresa was dumbfounded when she saw this. She knew that the relationship between the two was not ordinary, but this was the first time she saw Karen and Wang Chen interacting so intimately. Especially since she respected Karen so much, seeing this scene, Theresa felt numb all over.

Chapter 134 Kallen: Otto, you have made it.

Before Wang Chen could enjoy the taste of his lips, he felt a pain in his lower lip. It turned out that Karen was biting his lower lip hard with her teeth.

But Karen didn't really have the heart to continue biting her, so she let go of her mouth, stared at Wang Chen, and said, "I know what you want to say, and I know what you mean by apology... Do you think you are deceiving me and taking advantage of me?"

"Don't be ridiculous! I don't believe my memory is fake. So many little details... Could it be that the Herrscher is the creator who can see through everything? Even if the memory is really fake, my love, the feelings and emotions in my heart at this moment are definitely not false!"
