Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

My vision dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, the light in the room quickly disappeared, and I heard strange mutterings in my ears.

When Mei closed her eyes and opened them again to observe, the wound suddenly disappeared and there was no blood residue on the keyboard.

Everything seems to be just an illusion.

I wanted to straighten the frame of the glasses, but when my fingers touched the frame, it vibrated violently.

Mei looked at the light above her head, and it didn't shake.

She realized that it was her hands that were shaking.

"..."

"..."

She was scared.

It’s not that I’m afraid of the weirdness, but I’m afraid of my own end.

Chapter 10 Yae Village

"It was unexpectedly quiet, not a sound at all."

"No, there is still a sound."

Li Mo held Karen in his arms and walked in the dim cave. The walls near the cave were dark and gloomy, emitting a biting coldness everywhere.

For a moment, Li Mo couldn't tell whether this was a strange and unique coldness, because in some caves, the human body would indeed feel the coldness penetrating the skin.

"Empty—empty—"

Li Mo's footsteps echoed in the cave, like an endless stream of air, constantly knocking on the surrounding walls.

It was a very normal phenomenon, but it gave Li Mo a strange feeling.

In a large, enclosed environment, man-made sounds will indeed echo continuously.

But such a close echo made Li Mo think of a possibility——

He lay in the coffin, tapping it with his fingers, and the same sound echoed all around.

That's it...

Li Mo thought for a while, took off his coat and wrapped it around Karen.

His coat is one of those warmer ones. Although it looks thin, the material is actually very warm.

It is also to avoid certain extreme situations, such as suddenly losing the ability to sense temperature differences.

The temperature here didn't have much effect on him, but Kallen was already shivering from the cold, her nose almost running.

Even Kaslana is not completely immune to the physiological feedback caused by temperature differences. The simplest example is that Kiana will catch a cold like an ordinary girl, but she recovers faster and has to endure more cold.

Li Mo continued to walk forward, and suddenly, the light in front of him became much brighter. Originally, there was only light coming out from the cracks, but now it was suddenly clear and the sky was bright.

"The view is getting better. The end of the cave should be ahead."

Li Mo hesitated for a while, thinking about the rules inside.

The few pieces of information he had obtained so far seemed useless.

A strange, deserted tomb, a familiar yet never-before-seen golden stream, and a beautiful, gorgeous cherry blossom forest in full bloom.

Moreover, Li Mo did not trigger any rules. If it was a ghost or a strange object, then Li Mo would have to pay a huge price and energy to explore in order to avoid triggering the rules, but he did not.

In a sense, these three are most likely strange phenomena.

Oh, he also left his figure in the golden stream, stepped on the fallen cherry blossoms and dug the nameless grave...

Encountering three safe strange phenomena at once, and even in some extreme cases triggering all three but nothing happened.

"..."

"It's frighteningly safe outside, but nothing comes without a price. When there's too much, there's too little. When there's too much wisdom, there's too little. When there's too much yin, there's too much yang. The danger inside is probably far greater than I can imagine."

Li Mo analyzed.

Although it looks safe outside, if you stay there, you may not have any chance to struggle when danger approaches.

This is what strange phenomena are like.

The more reassuring it is, the more terrifying it will be when it strikes back...

After all, you have to keep your life firmly in your own hands.

Li Mo walked out of the cave and subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands. The overly bright sunlight might make him a little uncomfortable.

But such a conditioned reflex did not occur.

Li Mo raised his head and looked at the sky. The midday sun was bright and dazzling...

"..."

Before Li Mo could recover from the shock, the villagers who were on guard near the village entrance discovered Li Mo.

Li Mo was not surprised by this. He would be scared if there was nothing outside the cave.

While the villagers were tipping him off, Li Mo began to think about his future plans and arrangements.

Looking around, the village is quite prosperous.

Judging from the architectural style, people's clothing and daily necessities, it seems that this is not Europe, but East Asia.

The village boasted fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees, bamboo forests, and the like. Paths crisscrossed the fields, and the sounds of roosters and dogs barking could be heard everywhere. People came and went in the fields, working on their crops.

"Wait, isn't this it?"

"But my teacher never taught me how to deal with this phenomenon. The textbook only said that it reflects the author's pursuit of a better life and his dissatisfaction with reality, using beautiful fantasy to depict a world of living that "should not exist."

Li Mo fell into deep thought, quickly recalling the contents of Peach Blossom Spring in his mind.

The fisherman, the protagonist of the story, was warmly received by the whole village and left after staying for a few days.

When leaving, the villagers told the fisherman that what happened here and in this place was not worth telling outsiders.

Although the fisherman still broke his promise and told the prefect the existence of Peach Blossom Spring.

Afterwards, the fisherman and his soldiers searched for the Peach Blossom Spring according to the marks he left behind, but they never found it, as if it were all a dream.

"Warm hospitality... Based on my understanding of human nature, the villagers of a village that enjoys peace and tranquility due to seclusion from the world would definitely not welcome outsiders."

"Then there's only one possibility for them deliberately trying to please others—they need outsiders to do something, and it must be something they themselves can't do for some reason but must do, or perhaps that thing would require a heavy price they're unwilling to bear."

Li Mo analyzed calmly that all behaviors in supernatural events have a purpose. This purpose can be deep or shallow, hidden or obvious, but it always exists.

"As for the point of trying to please the villagers, we need to see their actual reactions. Please pay more attention to them later."

"Besides, why did the villagers tell the fisherman that this place was not worth telling outsiders about?"

"No, no, no, the point isn't what they said to the fisherman, because words are pale, and betrayal is common in human society..."

"so……"

Li Mo suddenly felt a chill down his spine, and he thought of another unimaginable possibility—

The villagers said this to the fisherman on purpose.

What's the reason?

"We have too little information to jump to conclusions so quickly. Let's observe the villagers' reactions first. They're almost here."

Li Mo adjusted his facial expression.

Because Li Mo has rich emotions in his complete state, even if he loses half of it in a dead state, he can still maintain normal emotional thinking.

A standard professional fake smile.

Li Mo didn't have to wait long before he saw a large group of villagers walking towards him. He estimated the number to be about twenty or thirty people.

Walking in front is an innocent and cute little girl.

He was dressed very simply and ran excitedly to Li Mo, with the adults behind him following closely with kind faces.

No hostility?

Li Mo observed and pondered over and over again, and indeed did not see any hostility in the eyes of these people.

Shouldn't an isolated village be very hostile to outsiders?

Fortunately, the villagers did not have a welcoming ceremony, otherwise Li Mo would have turned around and ran away.

"Big brother! Big brother! Are you from the outside world too?"

The little girl who had been running at the front of the team jumped for joy, her voice light and crisp, like the tinkling of wind chimes.

Li Mo was slightly stunned. Also?

Looking up at the sunny weather, Li Mo felt it necessary to find as many clues as possible during the day.

I have to ask a little bit, dealing with children is a very normal thing, in the eyes of humans and non-humans...

"Hello, my name is Mingyue. You just said 'also', so you also came here from the outside world? But..."

Li Mo glanced at the woman next to the little girl, who was obviously her mother.

So did the people in the village come from the outside world and settle down there?

"Yes, Chiyoko, her mother, and her grandmother all came to Yae Village from the outside world. It's very beautiful and peaceful here. My grandmother said that there are always wars outside and many people die."

Feature capture.

Yae Village...

Li Mo remembered that the Yae Village in the original novel was in the Far East. Although the people here dressed and spoke in the Far East style, at least Vienna in Europe was nearby. Was there a problem with the space?

That cave... has similar traversal capabilities to the strange cave? It seems so.

There seems to be a custom of sacrifice in Yae Village, but that is not important.

In the original novel, Yae Village is extremely xenophobic, treating outsiders as if they owed it millions. It often blames outsiders for drought and poor crop yields, and then puts pressure on Yaezakura at Yae Shrine.

Is this a combination of Peach Blossom Spring and Yae Village?

Li Mo opened his lips slightly and looked at the little girl in front of him, the woman beside her, and the elderly, hunchbacked old woman.

If the other party is not lying, then all three generations came in from outside, and there is no unnecessary change in the time phenomenon.

It's normal aging, and his mind seems to be healthy. He looks like a normal person no matter how you look at him.

Facial expression management and body movements are far from being fake, but of course we cannot rule out a fake person who is well disguised.

However, judging from the fact that the fake people are completely unable to sense this place, what I see now should not be fake people.

Is it really that safe here?

Li Mo felt a strong suspicion in his heart, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smiled politely and chatted with the girl named Xiao Qianyo.

At this time, a middle-aged man in a black bathrobe walked out of the crowd, and the surrounding people, including the elderly, made way for him.

Li Mo quickly concluded that the other party was a powerful person in the village.

"Hello, I'm Yae-jinja, the current shrine master of Yae-jinja Shrine. I'm a guest from afar... It's cold outside, so please chat with us as we enter the village."

The other party was also quite polite. Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded.

Yae Shinshu, Yae Sakura's father.

In the original novel, he is a standard vicious villain, but in reality... he seems to be very polite and respectful.

This person cannot be trusted.

Li Mo did not refuse, and walked into the Yae Village beside the Yae God Lord while holding Kallen.

Along the way, Yae Shrine Lord only introduced Yae Shrine and Yae Village, and did not question the origin of the stranger Li Mo, nor the identity of the white-haired girl sleeping in his arms.

The less he asked, the more suspicious Li Mo became.

Being polite is necessary, but when a stranger comes into the village, isn’t the first thing to do to find out the other person’s background?

Being too respectful made Li Mo feel very uncomfortable.

It's like... he can't bear to see me leave.

If it's really as I suspected, then Yae Village at night will be very dangerous, extremely dangerous...

"That's right. Yae Village is a secluded wonderland. Although calling it a wonderland is a bit exaggerated, in my opinion, everyone in the village can live a well-fed and well-clothed life. The children are well-educated, and the elderly are well-cared for. Isn't this still a wonderland?"
