Chapter 62 After I finish writing this chapter, I might be eaten by Youyouzi

Even though they were good friends, and even though there was no sign of love between Youyouko and Rin, Shizukuri still refused to lend her husband her money at first.

However, Zi finally lost to Youyouzi's frank, earnest and longing eyes, and sighed: "Because he is not our man, you can use him casually... um, only for one day."

"Hey, hey, hey?"

It turned into a commodity again and was given to Youyouko for free trial for one day from Yakumo Yukari. Rin was confused and didn't understand what was going on, and she heard Yukari's fragmented voice in her ears.

"What happened on New Year's Eve has had a huge impact on her. I feel like Youyouzi has made up her mind to die. Take this opportunity to try to persuade her."

She used a special method, and only Rin could hear what she said. Although Rin wanted to say that she didn't know how to comfort others, she changed her mind and thought that she should give it a try after all. If it didn't work, making her happy was also a solution, so she nodded.

He turned to look at the delighted Youyouzi and smiled: "Then let's start from now on. To be honest, I'm still confused about love and I don't know how I got into love, but I still have a lot of theoretical knowledge, so just leave it to me today."

"I suddenly feel a little less at ease."

Thinking about the bad deeds of the idiot Lin, Zi had a headache and pressed the fan against her head. She waved her hand impatiently and said, "Stupid Lin, get out of here quickly. Also, this is just a simulation. If something really happens, you will never touch a toe of mine in your life."

"…you're talking like I'm a pervert."

Feeling that her noble sentiments and character had been greatly insulted, Rin curled her lips and stared at Zi who was slowly returning to the room for a few seconds before continuing to cheer Youyouzi up: "Then the plan for today is to go out and play. Youyouzi can go wherever she wants! Even if she wants to go to Song Dynasty, that's fine! At my speed, I can make sure the flight is on time."

Youyouzi clasped her hands together, smiling widely, her eyes curved into crescents: "That's great! I've never been to the outside world, it's great to have Rin here."

Just yesterday, they joined forces with Purple and Blue to suppress and temporarily seal Youyouko's death power. There will naturally be no problem today. With Rin accompanying her, Youyouko can go out without worry.

When her father was still alive, Youyouzi was taken out, but she didn't have many memories of her childhood. Her father died when she was a few years old, and she could only stay in this courtyard.

So when she heard that Rin was going to take her out, Youyouzi was very excited and kept nodding her head: "Then I have to go change my clothes, Rin, wait a minute."

Not long after, Youyouko changed into a simple kimono with cherry blossom patterns all over it that was the same color as her hair, making Rin feel as if she had seen the stunning undead lady in the future.

Holding Youyouzi, he jumped out of the yard, and the two walked side by side on the cobblestone street. Small snowflakes fell and turned into water stains on the ground. It was just after New Year's Eve, and it was very lively outside. Passers-by on the road also smiled and blessed each other when they met.

Even during the holidays, there were still early and diligent vendors selling snacks and New Year trinkets. Rin took Youyouko for a walk around the town where she lived and bought some cooked mochi for Youyouko to fill her stomach.

She took two bites, stared at the white dumpling in her hand for a long time, and asked curiously, "How is this rice cake made? I don't think I've ever eaten it before."

"Forehead……"

I think it's probably because Yaoji went out to buy ingredients and didn't pay much attention to it. After all, this kind of thing is a traditional food that is only eaten during festivals in ancient District 11. Rin explained it briefly, and then she ate it in small bites with a happy face.

"It's so delicious... I wish it existed in the afterlife as well."

Rin heard her mumbling quietly, and her whole body froze, her steps stopped where they were. Youyouzi smiled and waved her hand: "I'm just kidding, let's go and see if there's anything else to eat! I must eat my fill today!"

Since she knew that Youyouzi had already intended to die, Rin naturally wouldn't pretend that nothing had happened, and her frown relaxed: "Well, it doesn't matter if we can't finish it. We can take it home in the evening and put it on the table and eat our fill!"

"good idea!"

Youyouzi happily jumped forward a few steps, put her hands behind her back and turned her head to urge Rin. When he got closer, she suddenly reached out and held Rin's hand, pursing her lips: "I heard that love requires holding hands, right?"

"Well, there shouldn't be such a saying now, but in the future..."

"Tsk, Rin is really an idiot just like Zi said."

I don't want to be called an idiot by future foodies...

Looking at her shining eyes that seemed to be shining, they were clearly filled with positive and joyful colors, but they inexplicably made Rin feel that he was about to lose this friend. The strong uneasiness in his heart made him grab Yuyuko's hand. When she looked at him strangely, he said in a deep voice: "In the world after death, not only can't you eat delicious food (wrong), there is nothing interesting either."

“Is… is that so?”

Youyouzi lowered her head, looked at her feet, and smiled: "Okay, that was just a joke. By the way, are there any other interesting places, Rin, why don't you take me to see them?"

"Well... let's go now."

Picking up Youyouko, Rin leaped into the air, flying rapidly all the way, but deliberately lowered the altitude so that Youyouko could easily overlook the scene on the ground below. If he flew at full speed, it would only take him seven or eight hours to fly around the entire Area 11.

Yuyuko would occasionally ask him to stop and admire the beautiful scenery of different mountains and rivers, and Rin did so one by one. By evening, the two were flying over the sea, moving forward towards the sunset.

This is the East China Sea, the sea area between District 11 and the Song Dynasty. If you look down, you can see islands of all sizes quickly passing by. Rin wanted Youyouzi to appreciate the sea view, so he took a long detour.

After a day of playing, Youyouko looked a little tired, but she still forced herself to blink her eyes with great interest and look at the deep blue ocean and the islands coming and going.

Suddenly, Lin's body paused and stayed in mid-air. He looked at the small island not far away and frowned.

"Rin, what's wrong?"

"A little... a little strange."

The atmosphere on the island is somewhat similar to that of Huo Qing'e, but completely different. It feels like it has merged into one with nature, making people feel safe and comfortable. It's a very strange feeling. Lin couldn't help but be curious, so he took Youyouzi down and flew towards the center of the special atmosphere.

The island is quite large, with a freshwater lake in the center. Not far from the lake, someone even built a small wooden house.

The sudden appearance of a human settlement in the deserted area made Lin even more curious. He followed the scent of the follower and found an old man in a thick straw raincoat standing by the lake. This is the subtropical area, the temperature is suitable for islands, and the natural ecology has not been damaged by humans. There are many fish in the freshwater lake, so fishing is common.

The old man sitting on the shore looked very old. He leaned leisurely against the tree roots behind him, with his fishing rod on the side. He had a messy white beard and his eyes were slightly narrowed.

It was this scene blending into the natural landscape that made Lin feel that the other auras around him were even stronger.

The fishing rod moved slightly. The old man lifted it up, put the caught fish into a bamboo basket beside him, and fiddled with the fishhook.

The sharp-eyed Lin then discovered that the fishhook was actually a straight hook. He stood there for a while and suddenly realized something.

"It turned out to be Taigong Wang..."

Since Lin recognized the other party, he naturally felt embarrassed to disturb him and wanted to leave with Youyouzi, but he heard Taigong Wang raised his voice and said, "My friend, since you are here, it must be fate. If it is fate, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

He glanced at me and said, "I see that you have a hint of depression in your brows, and the little girl beside you is filled with deathly aura, with black foreheads and a death-minded heart. I'm sure you are troubled by this."

Lin smiled bitterly and looked at Youyouzi: "As expected...you..."

"Nothing!"

Youyouzi explained in a panic, then sighed and bowed to Taigongwang: "Indeed, I am worried about this matter."

Taigong Wang nodded slightly, stroked his beard and waved to Lin and Youyouzi. Lin took the reluctant and flustered Youyouzi to his side and sat down at his signal.

"Can we talk?"

Lin hesitated for a while, thinking that the person in front of him was the famous Jiang Ziya, who had extraordinary abilities and broad knowledge, and who might have a way to solve Youyouzi's problem, so he quickly told him all about Youyouzi's current problems.

The old man thought for a while, and the fishing rod on the side suddenly trembled. He suddenly laughed out loud: "The fish is hooked, can you help me with this, young friend?"

Lin was a little puzzled, but out of respect, he helped it collect the hook, took out a spotted fish, and threw it into a bamboo basket beside him.

Jiang Ziya narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and waved his sleeves, and a cloud of white mist enveloped the two of them. Youyouzi was horrified and hurriedly took a step forward, but was gently pushed back a few steps by the white mist.

"Little girl, please be patient. I have something to say to you alone."

The kind voice coming from the other side made Youyouzi relax a little. She took a few steps back and simply squatted down to count the fish in the basket.

"What advice do you have, senior?"

"Since you have helped me, I must return the favor. However, the cycle of life and death is destiny. How many people can resist destiny? You can't, the monster sage can't, and I can't either. Only a powerful person who is equal to heaven can do it... So death is destiny, so don't be too depressed. This gift is given to you."

When Rin learned that Youyouko's fate could not be changed, she was in a trance. She subconsciously took the green stone bead from Taigongwang's hand and smiled bitterly: "I have thought before that it might be better for Youyouko to become a ghost after death. It would also satisfy her wish of not wanting to hurt anyone, but the people around her are gone like this, and she will lose her memory. I always feel that I can never find the person I used to be, so..."

"It's human nature." Jiang Ziya responded calmly, "What I gave you is the Soul Bead. People have a soul that carries memories. After death, the soul will gradually dissipate and will not be taken to the underworld. Ordinary items cannot carry this soul, so..."

Lin understood instantly, and held the Soul Bead tightly, overjoyed: "Thank you, Senior, I have no way to repay you, if..."

"No need. This old man and I are destined to meet. We may meet again in the future. This little thing is nothing. It's just... If you want to break your fate, it all depends on this world."

He spoke in a mysterious way, and if you didn't know him, you might think he was a charlatan. But his words indirectly revealed that Lin was not from this world, which made him admire him very much. Taigong Wang waved his hand to disperse the mist, and looked at Youyouzi who was squatting beside the bamboo basket and curiously poking the fish with her fingers, and smiled slightly: "Since you like it, this basket of fish will be given to you, little girl, and it's time for me to leave."

Lin quickly pulled Youyouzi up and bowed to Taigongwang again: "Senior, take care. We may meet again someday..."

However, before he could finish his words, Jiang Ziya had disappeared, and even the fishing rod was taken away, leaving only a basket of fish on the ground. Lin scratched his head and looked at the puzzled Youyouzi: "Well... Maybe all gods prefer this tune, just like when you make a phone call, you have to hang up earlier than the other party to avoid losing face..."

However, Youyouzi didn't understand his analogy at all and picked up the bamboo basket with great interest: "What did the old man and Rin talk about before?"

"……nothing."

It was impossible to just tell Youyouko that he was waiting for her to die in the underworld, so Rin thought about it and decided to go back and discuss it with Zi. Youyouko was tired from shopping and they had to prepare a banquet in the evening, so Rin picked up Youyouko and flew towards Heijo-kyo.

They bought a lot of things at the market, almost all of which were meat, which Youyuko rarely ate. Rin carried the tall bag and returned to the backyard of Saigyouji Temple while holding Youyuko in one hand.

Yaoji had also returned by then, and was relieved to see Youyouzi return safely, and helped Lin unload the food.

Rin stretched her body and turned to see Lan digging a hole next to the demon cherry tree, and Yakumo Yukari sitting on a swing nearby lazily drinking tea. She looked puzzled: "Lan...what's wrong?"

Yakumo Yukari waved her hand: "Our shikigami has a short memory and is about to do something weird again. We just happened to find her and let her dig a hole to bury herself in."

"Okay, Blue, come on!"

Without any mercy, Rin leaned close to Yakumo Yukari's ear and told her about her previous encounter with Taigong Wang.

Zi quickly jumped down from the swing, her face full of surprise: "This is good news, I was just thinking about Youyouzi before..."

At this time, Youyouko was taking Youki and Yakumo Lan, who had set a trap, to cook. Zi pulled Rin into the room and told her her plan.

Her plan was to gather all her friends, negotiate a deal with the Onmyoji, find the most famous Abe Haruaki, and work together to seal Youyouko's power of death. This way, Youyouko could at least live a few years in peace, and then find someone to continue sealing it every once in a while until Youyouko finished her life and died peacefully.

The idea is good, but it is still quite difficult to implement. At least it is worth a try. It may not be a bad thing for a human body to leave peacefully and painlessly. In addition, with the soul bead, it is entirely possible for Youyouzi to be reborn as a ghost and still be the same as before.

"Anyway, you can try!"

Rin and Zi discussed it carefully, and when it was already 12 o'clock, they finally finalized this imperfect plan.

At this time all the ingredients have been prepared. A large table was set up next to the cherry tree. The five people and the monster sat around it. Zi held Youyouzi's shoulders, came up to her and told her that the two of them decided to find someone to seal her together.

"... In this way, we really don't have to hurt others?"

It sounds like a good idea, but the helpers found must be extremely powerful and have no ulterior motives. In addition, the difficulty of sealing is very high. Even Youyouzi, who doesn't know much about it, has some doubts about the probability. However, under Zi Duofang's authority, she seems to be in a much better mood, but she has not given up the idea of ​​​​suicidal behavior.

However...if they succeed the first time, perhaps they can help Youyouko get rid of her determination to die. This is the only hope of Rin and Zi.

The table was piled high with meat dishes. Youyouko ate to her heart's content. Even when her stomach was full, she did not forget to drink with Rin and the others. No one knew how much they drank that night. They even took out a large amount of wine that had been buried for many years in the Saigyouji family and drank it all.

Rin and Zi drank quite a bit and were a little tipsy, but in order to prevent Yuyuko's death power from erupting, they controlled their drinking and didn't let themselves get too drunk.

Instead, Youyouko guzzled cup after cup, which made the people watching very worried. Rin and the others quickly surrounded Youyouko to stop her from drinking, but they saw that she was already completely drunk. She threw the jar of wine on the ground, stood up with a silly smile, and staggered back uncontrollably: "Today... is my happiest day. No matter if it's Youki, Lan, Zi or Rin, it's great to have you by my side... "

Then with a "bang", she stepped on empty air and fell into the pit that Lan had dug before. No one paid attention at first and waited for Youyouzi to get up. After waiting for a few minutes, they realized something was wrong. Yaoji stood up hurriedly and ran to the pit in a hurry. He saw his own young lady lying in the pit with her eyes closed and a happy smile on her face.

Thinking that she was just drunk and asleep, Yaoji reached out his hand to fish Youyouzi out, only to find that... Youyouzi had no heartbeat and was not breathing.

"Miss?!"

The sorrowful cry suddenly woke Rin and Zi. They rushed over and looked at Youyouko lying in the pit, with no sign of life left in her body.

Yukari's face turned pale, and Rin fell to his knees, unable to accept the blow that Youyuko, who was drinking and chatting with him cheerfully before, had died suddenly in the blink of an eye. Then he and Yakumo Yukari hurriedly used their demonic power and "qi" to try to save Youyuko's life.

However, it was too late. Yao Ji sighed with sadness and strangeness: "It's useless. The young lady...died of alcohol poisoning. She was already exhausted today and ate so much meat. Her liver was already overloaded. She drank so much wine and finally fell into the pit and was hit. Then she died..."

The four of them looked at each other, and Rin coughed dryly: "Although it's sad and unexpected, but at least Youyouko died happily, right? Well, how long will it take for her to be resurrected?"

Yakumo Yukari scratched her face with her folding fan: "Probably a few months, a few years, a few decades, or maybe two or three hundred years."

"I...it shouldn't be my fault that I dug a hole, right?" Lan felt very guilty. His brain was dull and he picked up a shovel to fill the hole, but Lin quickly stopped him.

Yaoji also knew that it was useless to grieve at this time. After all, Youyouzi would come back after sleeping for a while. He could only sigh and say, "Then, let me wait here for the young lady to be reborn."

"Uh, so Sister Zi still has to go to the underworld once to turn Yao Ji into a half-spirit and wait for Youyouzi here, right?"

Yakumo Yukari nodded, looked at Youyouko's smile, reached out and took out the Soul Orb. The surroundings suddenly turned into a green airflow that floated and swirled around the Soul Orb, and was finally completely absorbed by the bead.

Yakumo Yukari used her demonic power to probe the bead, and a large amount of memories belonging to Youyouzi flooded into her mind, and finally stopped at the scene of sudden death from acute alcohol poisoning. Her eyes were a little straight: "I think... we should remove the memory of Youyouzi's death, so as to avoid embarrassment in the future. I hope we can keep a secret from each other and don't let Youyouzi know... strange or something."

The other four people nodded in unison, with strange expressions on their faces. Their moods were extremely complicated and they didn't even know how to mourn. They could only shed a few tears silently, mourning Youyouko's sudden death and commemorating her past when she was still a human.

They all mourned for an hour in front of Youyouzi in the pit. When they looked up again, everyone looked exhausted. Lin handed a shovel to Lan: "Whoever dug it will be responsible for burying it."

"Hey? Isn't there going to be a funeral?"

"We'll see each other again soon anyway, so there's nothing to prepare for. Just let Yaoji notify the Saigyouji family."

Even the always loyal Yaoji put away his grief and nodded: "I hope the young lady will rest in peace."

A gust of wind blew, and the cherry trees that had never bloomed began to bloom at a speed visible to the naked eye. The petals slowly fell, framing the four people who still had confused faces in the flower scene.

The sound of the rustling wind seemed to carry the voice of a ghost that kept shouting that it was hungry...

ps: I know that you four collectively killed Youyouko last winter.
