After hearing this, Uesugi Tetsu put her on the ground and nodded happily: "I'm glad to see you are so honest, Ye Chun."

He could clearly see Ye Chun's face stiffen. She didn't expect her real name to be revealed.

Uesugi Che looked at Ye Chun again and confirmed that her soul was intact, without a single piece missing. There was only one reason why Ye Chun wanted to leave the hotel.

Come back home.

So...it was the Snow Girl who didn't let them leave the hotel.

He glanced at the words "Basement Floor" written on the note again - no matter what Ye Chun thought, the fact that she assisted him was real.

So Shangshan Che put away the note and said to Ye Chun, who was standing there anxiously, "If you believe me, don't try it alone during this period. I will take you back."

After saying that, Uesugi Che, who had played the role of riddle teller, turned around and left, leaving the dazed Ye Chun there.

Staring at the back of the four-tailed fox that was leaving with its tail swaying, Ye Chun fell into deep confusion for a moment.

"Should I... believe him?"

Although her rationality told her that she shouldn't trust the words of a monster she had only met once, her intuition kept repeating these words in her heart -

He can be trusted.

……

In the following time, Uesugi Tetsu and Nishaku-sama strolled around the hotel casually, and tried the hotel's traditional dishes when it was time, looking like tourists.

When the other tenants saw them, they kept their distance, with uncontrollable anxiety and fear in their eyes.

Uesugi Tetsu knew that was the result of the words that had been engraved several times.

And that statement is actually not wrong - the monster stories outside the hotel, the Baka-dori, the taiko bells, and Grandpa Highway, which one of them is not a murderer who kills without blinking an eye?

Having collected enough information, Uesugi Tetsu didn't intend to communicate with them. After raising the inn's exploration level to 60%, he took Nishaku-sama back to the room and waited for the arrival of early morning.

Although it is impossible to know the exact time in the ordinary world, there is a clock in the hotel room, and the time can be judged based on it.

Tick, tick.

As the three hands of hour, minute and second ticked to twelve, Uesugi Che, who had gained more than ten points in breathing technique proficiency, opened his eyes in the darkness.

It was curfew time at the hotel, so it was naturally quiet outside.

When wandering around the hotel before, Uesugi Tetsu had already engraved the route of the entire hotel into his mind like a map.

Of course, he also discovered the so-called entrance to the underground floor - an ordinary floor covered with Yin-Yang magic.

Ordinary people naturally couldn't detect it, but although the fluctuation of spiritual power was subtle, it couldn't hide from his eyes.

After throwing the two-foot-tall man who used his tail as a soft bed back into the Ksitigarbha statue, Uesugi Tetsu quietly opened the door.

Because tiny vines had been stuck on the hinges, the door didn't creak when it opened.

Uesugi Tetsu was also very attentive and did not wear noisy wooden shoes. Instead, he transformed himself into a smaller-sized boy, put on tabi and walked out of the room on tiptoe.

Practice the Jade Heart Technique to absorb the overflowing essence, energy and spirit into the body, stop practicing the breathing method, and then restrain the fluctuations of spiritual energy.

Next, it’s time to reveal the little secret that the Snow Girl doesn’t want others to discover.

After silently going down to the deserted first floor, Uesugi Che breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his temples.

That short period of time just now was the peak moment of his power-generating skills.

Because even a little more force might cause the wooden stairs to creak and alert the Snow Girl.

"It's just like playing a horror game..."

Uesugi Che held his breath and concentrated, and soon he found the piece of floor covered by Yin-Yang magic.

If his guess was correct, the floor was just a simple decoy and he could walk directly into it - Uesugi Che had seen similar Yin-Yang magic in the "Common Yin-Yang Magic Collection".

Uesugi Tetsu probed with his feet, then immersed himself in it.

Gurgling, gurgling, gurgling...

A sound like something boiling and bubbling echoed in the small space.

As soon as Uesugi Tetsu walked in, he frowned deeply - the resentment in this space was so serious that it was almost causing a phenomenon to corrode his mind.

After walking up a few steps, Uesugi Che landed on the ground and silently looked out from the corner.

——The dark blue flame burned slowly, and the unknown purple liquid in the huge casserole was churning, continuously emitting a deep and rich resentment and unwillingness.

Under the miserable purple light, the Snow Girl, still wearing her snow-white kimono, stirred the huge soup spoon expressionlessly, and then continuously threw the extremely mutilated souls of the living around her into it to make soup.

So, resentment burst out.

Uesugi Tetsu never expected that the Snow Woman would actually do something like a witch in a novel, so he forgot to take his eyes off her.

The Snow Girl paused slightly in stirring the soul soup.

But after a moment, she continued her actions and said coldly, "Sir Che, peeping is not a polite act, and it is certainly not something a shrine priest should do."

Boiling others into soul soup isn't the right thing to do...

Uesugi Tetsu knew that he had been exposed because of his mistake.

But the progress of "finding out the real purpose of the Snow Girl" has reached 40%, so this trip is obviously worth it.

He walked out, removing his Thousand Faces disguise. Before he could speak, he heard the Snow Girl continue, "I think you're curious, right?"

The Snow Girl's indifferent voice came: "Occasionally when someone stumbles into this place, they will be curious about what is happening here and what I am doing.

"This is normal. Curiosity is the common nature of intelligent creatures."

Uesugi Tetsu looked up vigilantly - the Snow Girl had said too much, she was using words to buy time.

But Uesugi Tetsu was also happy about it.

His purpose was not to fight and kill, but to find out what the Snow Girl wanted to do. This situation was actually beneficial to him.

The Snow Girl skillfully controlled the fire and injected spiritual power into the soul soup, saying,

"I built this inn to shelter these humans... These living souls have no noble intentions, nor do they have any evil purposes."

An indifferent voice came,

"To be precise, it's like raising small animals."

Uesugi Tetsu waved the folding fan in his hand, staring at the painful and tormented resentment in the casserole: "So, what are you doing now?"

Chapter 116 Kaga Kiyomitsu's Farewell Blade, Five Thunder Method, learned!

"I've heard people say that when their pet animals die, they feel sad and bury them with their own hands."

Snow Girl's expression was indifferent as she continued to brew the soul soup that carried so much resentment. Her movements did not slow down at all because of Uesugi Tetsu's arrival.

“That’s what I’m doing now.”

The Snow Girl said, "Here, only when obsession or resentment is completely eliminated can true death come."

"Otherwise, you will only become a soul without wisdom or knowledge, wandering aimlessly, forever savoring the resentment and pain of life. Your Excellency Che should have seen this too."

魑。

The "empty soul" mentioned by the Snow Girl is undoubtedly Chi.

So... what she is doing now is equivalent to saving the souls of these resentful souls?

Uesugi Che could see the Snow Girl sighing slowly, and her icy spiritual power fluctuated.

"If we don't gather them together and let them die, it will be very noisy... It's better to place them together. It will be easier to deal with them after death, and before they die, it will also relieve the boredom of my ordinary life."

[Uncover the Snow Girl's true purpose. Current progress: 70%.]

A prompt popped up in front of Uesugi Tetsu, proving that what the Snow Girl said was true.

But the progress has only reached 70%, which means there are more crucial points that the Snow Girl has not revealed...

call.

A biting cold wind suddenly blew.

The blue flame went out.

The surging sound of the soul soup stopped, and the basement immediately fell into deep darkness.

A deep chill and scattered resentment enveloped Uesugi Tetsu's body.

In the darkness, only the pair of ice-blue pupils are bright, indifferent as always.

"Sir Che, you know exactly why I'm telling you this."

The cold spread, and thick frost and snow covered the basement.

Uesugi Tetsu put away his folding fan and the arm armor within his robe. He stood with his hands behind his back. "I originally thought you were refining living souls and concocting resentment to achieve your goals. Then, no matter what I do, I won't feel any psychological burden."

Uesugi Tetsu shook his head: "But now it seems that I was wrong."

The Snow Girl was slightly startled.

The monster who could see through people's hearts knew clearly that every word said by the four-tailed fox in front of him was true, and he really had no intention of fighting with him.

"You're actually more interested in knowing the unknown truth than your own life... It doesn't matter whether you know it or not, right?"

The Snow Girl lowered her eyes and curled the corners of her lips, a rare gesture.

What an interesting guy.

Unfortunately--

The bone-chilling cold and the sudden appearance of snow and wind enveloped Uesugi Che in an instant. He only had time to hear the Snow Girl's last whisper before he lost consciousness.

"—I don't want my peaceful life to be disrupted by outsiders."

Waving her sleeves, which were as white as ever, the Snow Girl stared at the crystal ice cubes shattered on the ground.

After a long time, she sighed helplessly, bent down, picked up the most transparent piece from the ground, and stuffed it into the gap of her furisode.

It's a bit of a pity.

A slight sense of guilt rose from the bottom of the Snow Girl's heart, but was calmly cut off by herself in the next moment.

She had clearly warned him in the first sentence, but the four-tailed fox still stayed.

It's his own choice.

……

“Hiss—it’s so cold!”

In the warm spring sunshine, Uesugi Che, who was lying under the cherry tree, opened his eyes and shuddered suddenly.

He had just been frozen into an ice sculpture by the Snow Girl, and then shattered into countless pieces.

This cold is literally "chilled to the bone".

Goose bumps spread across Uesugi Tetsu's skin. He rubbed his hands with the Corona Energy for a long time before he could barely regain warmth in his body.

"This is much more serious than the aftereffects of an ordinary death."

Uesugi Che muttered to himself, took out his phone, and discovered that only three or four hours had passed in the real world.

There's a subtle sense of time dislocation...

Uesugi Tetsu was about to get up and move around when he suddenly noticed that his storage backpack lit up.

When I clicked inside, I found that Kaga Kiyomitsu was placed inside and was emitting brilliant light.

"Finally you are here!"

Regardless of the fact that they were still in school, Uesugi Tetsu directly took out Kaga Kiyomitsu and held it in his hand.

In fact, the Special Affairs Office does not prohibit students from bringing cold weapons into the campus - as long as you have the corresponding documents.

The distinguished "seed" players naturally enjoy this tiny privilege.

The moment Uesugi Tetsu held Kaga Kiyomitsu's hand, a colorful prompt popped up.
