Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Why is it?

Li Mo was puzzled.

I have a few ideas in my mind, but none of them can be verified.

There is no time to take care of Kallen's affairs. The most urgent task is to use Yaezakura's special characteristics to find out what is strange about Yae Village in the dark.

According to Grandma Chiyo's words, and the withering of the peach forest.

Ghosts do roam the streets at night and visit the houses of outsiders.

Li Mo glanced around and found that the windows on the west side were still closed, but when he approached Grandma Chiyo's courtyard, he saw that some of the surrounding houses had their windows closed.

But the ghost still didn't appear.

Just when Li Mo thought he could reach the courtyard safely, a stern shout came from behind.

She wasn't calling him, but Yaezakura.

"Sakura! What are you doing?"

Yaejinshu suddenly appeared behind the two of them, his hands empty, wearing a gray yukata and wooden clogs, his brows slightly furrowed.

"I……"

"Come back with me. Lin has a high fever and you are not by her side. You have failed in your duty as a sister." Yajō Shenzhu slowed down his tone.

Hearing this, Yaezakura was a little excited: "Rin again..."

He turned around and bowed to Li Mo: "Sorry, Mr. Mo, I have to rush back to the shrine."

Li Mo glanced at the Eightfold God Lord behind him, said nothing, nodded, and indicated that it was okay.

Then he immediately moved his legs and ran.

Yaezakura didn't understand why Li Mo suddenly ran away. Wasn't Grandma Chiyo's house not far ahead?

Let’s apologize properly next time we meet.

Yaezakura thought to herself as she followed Yaezakura towards the shrine.

On the other side, Li Mo used all his strength to cross a distance of several hundred meters and reach the door in three seconds.

The reason why he had to escape immediately was because the sudden appearance of the Eightfold Divine Lord was unreasonable.

Li Mo never relaxed his vigilance towards his surroundings. It was impossible for an ordinary person to appear without being aware of his perception.

Of course, it was also possible that the strange phenomenon in Yae Village had caused a flaw in his perception, but there was no shadow under the feet of the Yae God Lord...

Li Mo had observed carefully that his shadow was rather incomplete, while Yaezakura's shadow was complete.

Combining the various pieces of information mentioned above, Yaezakura can be temporarily identified as a living person protected by some kind of law. Then what is the reason for the Yaezakura Lord to have no shadow?

"The Night Lord Yae is a ghost. It sent Yae Sakura away and wanted to attack me. I have to go back to a safe place to spend the night." Li Mo concluded the situation.

As I stretched out my hand and prepared to push open the gate to the courtyard, a strong sense of disharmony arose in my heart.

Looking back, there was nothing.

Yaezakura had disappeared from sight, and behind her was an empty street. Only the shop flags fluttered in the wind, floating back and forth like ghosts.

Everyone should be resting, and the store is closed.

But outside was filled with tables and chairs, placed neatly.

"It wasn't like this when I came here during the day. The position hasn't changed, but it's not as neat as it is now."

"Let's enter the courtyard first. The layout inside will help me avoid the strange phenomena that occur in Yae Village at night. There's no rush to solve the problem this time. Before I understand the specific situation, I must prioritize ensuring that I still have room for error."

Li Mo gave himself an order, then raised his hand and touched the gate of the courtyard.

The sense of disobedience came over me again.

Reason told him that he had to enter the courtyard immediately. He had been targeted and every second he stayed outside increased the risk of death.

His intuition told him that he absolutely couldn't go in. It was too inappropriate...

The true nature of Yaemura hasn't been fully understood yet. If I waste this second chance...

"What's wrong?"

Li Mo took out a strange pistol and glanced around vigilantly, but there was dead silence.

In an instant, Li Mo saw a vague black shadow outline appear on the window of the house. He couldn't see its appearance clearly, but a pair of eyes with strange green light were staring at him.

"It's locked. There's a ghost in the Aboriginal room."

Li Mo calmly described his current situation. Fortunately, the ghost did not ignore the obstacles and the height of the floor and rush directly towards him, but turned around and went back to the room.

"Da da……"

The sound of uniform footsteps rang out.

The ghost is coming downstairs.

The speed is uniform.

"Grandma Chiyo didn't lie, but this amount isn't good."

"What are these ghosts, who have the habits of living people? Are they outsiders who died in Yae Village? Or are they the natives of Yae Village?"

"What caused you to become a ghost? Why did you hide in an aboriginal house?"

"..."

In a trance, Li Mo remembered the knife.

I took a look at the tables, chairs and stalls set up on the street. All the shops were open, as if they were opening for business to welcome customers.

"No, they should have appeared on the streets long ago. This place is about to become... a ghost market."

"No more hesitation."

Li Mo decisively took out the strange coin and held it in his palm, then quickly pushed open the gate of the courtyard and stepped in.

The moment he entered, Li Mo found that his field of vision had widened.

He could even see what was behind him.

"Horizontal pupil?"

Vertical pupils are the eyes of a hunter and are more delicate.

The horizontal pupils are the eyes of prey, which help them observe the surroundings and escape in time.

"My identity has changed. I've become the prey."

"But I'm clearly in the courtyard. The layout here should be able to help me offset the strange pattern..."

Before he finished speaking, a sheep bleated behind Li Mo.

Without any hesitation, he decisively threw the strange coin with his right hand.

Two seconds later, a sheep with a toothy smile appeared from nowhere, came to the coin and swallowed it.

After the strange coin was swallowed, the sheep stopped smiling and closed its lips without showing its teeth.

"boom--!"

Li Mo immediately rushed forward to close the distance, then took out a strange pistol to attack, five bullets, the highest degree of suppression.

The moment the bullet hit the sheep, a faint blue flame emerged, spread, and burned...

It wasn't long before it started to burn fiercely, and the hellish fire enveloped the entire body of the sheep.

If nothing unexpected happens, under the double suppression of the strange coin and the strange pistol.

The sheep should fall into a state of dormancy, even if only temporarily.

As the fire burned, Li Mo shifted his attention and tried to figure out what went wrong with the courtyard's protection mechanism.

"The peach forest is still there, but... it looks exactly the same as when I last came. If a ghost comes, shouldn't the peach forest consume itself to contain it? Or... is this peach forest fake?"

"and many more……"

Li Mo suddenly realized something, turned around abruptly, and his eyes fell on the threshold of the courtyard gate.

He felt no resistance as he entered...

impossible.

If you feel some resistance when entering the first death state, then entering the second death state should be even more difficult.

But I didn't feel any restrictions or constraints just now.

"This isn't Grandma Chiyo's house."

"here it is……"

"Meehee——"

A strange laugh made Li Mo's pupils shrink. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and quickly turned to look at the sheep.

Is it... imitating a laugh?

Li Mo wanted to leave here, but there was a problem with his visual perception. This was not Grandma Chiyo's home at all.

He entered a strange territory...

Just as Li Mo arrived at the gate, it suddenly changed into an endless fence, which was specially used to imprison livestock.

"The shepherd's fold..."

Li Mo thought back to the shepherd who had greeted him and enthusiastically invited him in. "Would you like to take a look inside the sheepfold? These sheep are so well behaved."

Now it seems that if I agree, I will probably immediately fall into the current dead end.

I guess cognitive pollution is also related to the communication with the shepherds during the day.

"Tsk, there really is a problem."

"jump over."

According to his current condition, Li Mo can jump to a height of dozens of meters with just a little effort.

"Oh!"

He failed. His feet seemed to be tied with heavy chains, connected to the ground beneath his feet, and he couldn't jump out at all.

"destroy."

Li Mo wanted to break the fence with one punch.

He could feel that his strength was not suppressed, but his fist stopped abruptly just as it was about to touch the fence.

"Meehee——"

"Meehee——"

"laugh--"

The bleating of the sheep behind me was getting closer and closer, and more and more strange. By the third time, it had completely lost the sound of sheep.

Li Mo turned around and saw a scene that he would never forget.

Sheep stand on their hind legs like humans, with their front legs hanging naturally and their heads bent ninety degrees and resting in front of their necks.

The netherworld fire that was burning just now disappeared, and the sheep showed no signs of being suppressed.

"Hello……"

"Hello……"

"Hello."

Yang took the initiative to greet Li Mo and spoke more and more skillfully.

We can’t let it continue to imitate!

Li Mo had a premonition that if he allowed the sheep to continue imitating, by the time it could speak completely, it would be his death.

He raised the strange pistol and wanted to shoot.

The next second, the pistol slipped and fell to the ground.

Li Mo looked down and found that his hands had turned into sheep's hooves.

Oops……
