In fact, it is impossible to hit the target at this distance. I pulled out the gun just to see if the other party has human behavior patterns.

It seems that there is a little bit now, but not much.

I only knew that the black weapon in my hand could bring a death threat, but I didn't realize the shooting range of the pistol or my terrible shooting skills.

and also……

It was obvious that the pattern of these two people was to hunt moving living people.

Ultimately, they are just two living people who look like ghosts.

Li Mo shook off Yaezakura's hand and said, "Go get the knife, I'll keep them here."

"But……"

"Nothing bad, go quickly."

Yaezakura pursed her lips and ran alone to the place where Sakura Fubuki was stored.

The two people walking on all fours quickly came to Li Mo's side, circled around the motionless Li Mo, and after a moment, they chased after Yaezakura without looking back.

The law is indeed a living thing in motion.

"Did you forget something?"

Li Mo took out a strange pistol and shot the opponent's legs at close range.

To be on the safe side, one of them kicked him twice, breaking his leg bones.

Surprisingly, these two people did not have strange recovery abilities, and the bullets fired from the strange pistol did not ignite the underworld fire, but only left a small wound on the leg.

Even so, the two did not utter a single cry. Even though their legs were broken, they were still crawling on their hands, trying to catch up with Yaesakura.

"I feel like I've seen your faces somewhere before." Li Mo stared at the two people walking on all fours and fell into deep thought.

But what surprised him even more was that these two people were acting during the day. They were not fake people, nor were they ghosts.

It's a bit like a derivative of a ghost, but it doesn't have the ability to recover.

Most importantly, they were hunting Yaezakura instead of themselves.

Although Yaezakura is indeed much more energetic than her current self, it is not certain that ghosts would dare to trouble her at night.

“Hmph…”

The two of them still made indescribable growls. Li Mo was under the impression that only pigs could make such sounds.

It’s not a big problem, just wait for Yaezakura to get the sword.

Li Mo calmly watched the two people crawling with difficulty.

Soon, Yae Sakura, sweating profusely, pulled out Sakura Fubuki and rushed over quickly.

"Mo Jun, it's too late to come down!"

After saying that, Yaezakura raised Sakura Blizzard high, ready to chop at the two people, but Li Mo grabbed her wrist tightly, and Sakura Blizzard did not fall for a long time.

Seeing that Yaesakura was controlled, the two men used their only two hands to support themselves, opened their mouths to bite, but were kicked away by Li Mo one by one.

"These two people just have some mental problems. Let's not kill them and observe them for a while." Li Mo said.

But then, Yaezakura looked at Li Mo with a strange look in her eyes, her pupils shrinking. She pointed at the two people standing up behind Li Mo and said, "What are you talking about... Mr. Mo. Those are clearly two demonic beasts. They actually stood up. They are evil creatures that are not allowed to exist in Yaezakura Village!"

Monster?

Li Mo noticed the words Yaezakura used, and the bear was also one of the monsters Yaezakura mentioned.

But what I just saw were just some strange people?

and many more……

Li Mo immediately turned his attention to the blade in Yaezakura's hand. It was not the bright red Akazura, but the spiritual sword Sakura Blowing Snow.

what does this mean?

"I don't know what you are talking about, but I want to observe them for a while. You just stand by and watch." Li Mo said.

"..."

"..."

Yaezakura hesitated for a long time, looking around. After confirming that no one else was watching, she said seriously, "This evil creature is a sacrifice. Upon seeing it, we must immediately extract its tendons and veins, sever its limbs, and hold a sacrifice..."

Sacrifice?

Li Mo, having grasped the key information, immediately asked, "Why? What's the connection between the appearance of evil creatures and the sacrifice?"

"Mr. Mo... please don't embarrass me. I'll explain everything to you after I finish these things."

Yaezakura mentioned Sakura Fubuki again, her eyes sharp.

Li Mo suddenly remembered where he had seen the appearance of these two people.

If I'm not mistaken, they are Xiao Chiyo's parents...

Li Mo stood between the two men and Yaezakura.

"What if I don't let you?"

Chapter 23 The Transformation between Man and Beast

Yaezakura was stunned. She didn't expect Li Mo to answer like this.

He held Sakura Fubuki tightly in his right hand, nodded slightly, and his long bangs covered his eyes.

"If Lord Mo insists on doing so, then I will have no choice but to..."

Li Mo had already prepared for the battle. The next second, Yaezakura put Sakura Fubuki back into the scabbard, looked around, and confirmed again that no one was watching.

"Then I have no choice but to help Lord Mo conceal this matter. My father hasn't gotten up yet, and the villagers haven't come to worship the gods yet."

"I will help Mo Jun observe the nearby visitors, so now please leave here quickly and go to a safe place."

Yaezakura made a quick stop, jumped onto the cargo beside her and then climbed onto the roof, directing Li Mo in which direction to move forward.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Mo turned around and knocked the two men unconscious, then carried them forward under Yae Sakura's command.

Yaezakura definitely knows better than herself where in the shrine people can hide.

Sure enough, a lush bamboo forest appeared in the distance ahead.

What was a little strange was that there was a stream inside, but it was a normal clear stream, not the dazzling golden stream outside the cave.

But the style and appearance of the bamboo forest inside the shrine are 90% similar to the bamboo forest outside.

Same species, same height, same growth state...

Judging from the distance, the two are clearly dozens of kilometers apart.

Is there any connection between the bamboo forest at the shrine and the bamboo forest in the primeval forest outside Yae Village? If not, what is the reason for the two to be so similar?

There was no answer to this question for the time being, so Li Mo had to put it aside.

"I thought you would fight me with swords and spears." Li Mo threw Xiao Chiyo's parents aside and turned to Yaezakura and said.

Li Mo felt a vague murderous intent just now, and he was actually not sure about it.

It’s not that I’m afraid of Yaezakura, but I’m afraid that the Sakura Fubuki in her hand will turn into Akazume Sakura.

If you get hit, something bad might happen.

There are more than a hundred thousand demons on Akazume Sakura. If they were to engage in regular confrontation, it would not be as simple as a one-on-one fight.

Li Mo had no confidence. The Doom Ghost was just a ghost at best. Even if it was complete, it could not resist hundreds of laws.

Moreover, the ghosts in Yae Village are very strange, and the continuous failure of the strange pistol makes Li Mo wonder whether the patterns between them overlap.

Otherwise, the phenomenon of sudden recovery after successful suppression cannot be explained.

But even the superimposed rules cannot withstand the killing of Akazume Sakura, so you can imagine how complete Akazume Sakura is.

Yaezakura glanced at the Sakura Fubuki in her hand and said softly, "To be honest, I did have the thought of confronting Mo Jun Dao Ge just now."

"Why?" Li Mo asked.

Yaezakura walked over to Chiyoko's unconscious parents and held the scabbard over their heads.

"The appearance of demonic beasts will disrupt the balance and make the village strange. We must deal with it immediately, otherwise more people will become like them, bloodthirsty and primitive."

"As a shrine maiden, my responsibility is to protect everyone, and to protect Yae Village, on which everyone depends for survival."

"So whenever a demonic beast appears in the village, I must kill it without hesitation and use it as a sacrifice."

Yaesakura's candid explanation.

"So when Mo Jun was about to stop me, I did have the urge to fight him."

"But... I believe in Mo Jun. Since you saved Lin, you are my benefactor. No matter what the reason, I still owe you a favor."

From her words, Li Mo understood the logic behind Yaesakura's actions, there was no problem.

The question is where this claim came from.

"So that's how it is, but I have a question. Don't you think it's strange?"

"Why is it that the appearance of demonic beasts disrupts the balance, rather than demonic beasts appearing only after the balance is disrupted?"

“Cause and effect are reversed.”

Li Mo expressed his opinion.

Yaezakura was stunned for a moment and shook her head: "I don't quite understand what Mo Jun means."

Li Mo added, "Let me put it more simply. The appearance of the monster will make the village strange, right? But is it possible that the monster appeared because the village became strange?"

"Just like Rin's illness, she became weak because of the illness. There is a direct causal relationship between the two."

Yaezakura was silent for a long time, thinking carefully about the meaning of Li Mo's words.

After a while, Yaezakura asked, "Mr. Mo, are you saying that there's something wrong with the village, which is why the monsters have been attracted here? That doesn't make sense."

Attracting monsters...

Li Mo finally understood why Yaezakura didn't understand what he said, because she didn't know that the so-called monster in front of her was actually an outsider living in Yaezakura.

At this moment, Yae Sakura still thought that these monsters came from outside the village.

"You think it's unreasonable because the monsters appeared suddenly, while Yae Village has remained the same from the beginning. It can't be the root cause of the change."

"What if I tell you that these two so-called monsters are actually people from the village?"

Yaezakura: “…”

Yaesakura fell into a long silence, squatted down, and repeatedly observed the appearance of Chiyo's parents.

Bloody fangs, lush fur...

It was like a wild beast in the primeval forest that ate raw meat and drank blood, without any trace of human appearance.

"Mr. Mo, to me they are monsters. I can't feel any human characteristics."

Li Mo walked forward and imitated Yaezakura in touching the other person's physical features.

The two people clearly touched the same place, but had different sensory feedback.

"That's because you've become strange too. Of course, I can't rule out the possibility that there's something wrong with my perception. But I trust my own judgment more than the traditional ideas of the village."

"It's hard for me to explain the nature of this to you."

"Just like I can easily alleviate Rin's illness, but everyone in the village can only watch her suffer."

"The key is whether you are willing to trust me or your familiar family, friends, and yourself."

Li Mo stood up and said.

There aren’t many explanations because all the explanations are incomprehensible to the listener.

A senior scholar explains professional knowledge to passers-by, especially putting forward some unconventional views based on the other party's common sense.

Just like when we describe two people whose thoughts don't intersect, we might say they are like two parallel lines. Indeed, most people have known since childhood that two parallel lines won't intersect.

So when Lobachevsky said: When two parallel lines are extended infinitely, they will intersect at infinity, that is, two parallel lines can intersect and the sum of the interior angles of a triangle may not be equal to 180 degrees, it caused a lot of ridicule and sarcasm.

The doubts are just the most basic.

Because there is no prerequisite to prove that there is no absolute plane, even if it is possible, it is difficult to do, at least in the eyes of the parties involved.
