Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Words are always pale and powerless.

To improve efficiency, there is no need to explain too much to others, just let them make the choice.

"...I'm sorry, Mo Jun. I find it hard to accept this viewpoint. I will pretend not to have seen anything that happened today. You only have half a day to observe these two monsters. I will report the situation truthfully to my father tonight. However, I will not mention your presence."

Yaezakura didn't dare look at Li Mo.

Li Mo had just helped her cure Lin not long ago, but now she had to go against Li Mo's will and felt inexplicably guilty.

"I understand."

This answer was also within Li Mo's expectations.

"Just watch carefully. Maybe it will only take half an hour for you to change your mind."

Li Mo took out the prepared knife, which still had a slight fishy smell on it.

Washing with clean water can only wash away the blood stains, but the smell of blood from the internal organs cannot be completely eliminated.

The thermometer was taken out and the temperature of various parts of Xiao Chiyo's mother's body was measured back and forth.

The average temperature is shockingly low, with the heart temperature being the lowest.

Similar to Rin's situation, but different.

Because they turned into monsters, but Lin didn't. Why?

Is it because Yae Rin lives in the shrine? Or is it because of something else...

I’m not sure, there will be a chance to figure it out later. The most urgent thing is to find a way to get Xiao Chiyo’s parents out of this situation.

The solution is simple.

Forcibly replenish vitality from the outside world.

Li Mo first used a knife to cut open Xiao Qianyo's mother's belly, then cut the aorta in his own arm, letting the dark blood drip into her body.

Soon, black blood began to flow in Xiao Chiyo's mother's body, and the color gradually became brighter, just like extremely pure red agate ground into powder and poured into clear water and stirred.

Her vitality quickly recovered, and under Yaesakura's astonished gaze, Chiyo's mother slowly stood up, her eyes hazy, as if she had not yet regained consciousness.

"Mo, Mo-jun...is she Chiyo's mother?" Yaezakura covered her mouth and looked at the scene in disbelief.

A huge monster gradually shrank and eventually turned into a ragged woman.

She was not surprised for too long. Yae Sakura wanted to care about Li Mo's injury. After all, she saw with her own eyes that Li Mo cut his arm without mercy.

But when Yaezakura looked over there, she discovered that the wound was healing rapidly.

Li Mo's skin became paler and paler.

"There is still one."

Li Mo used the same method again, and before the wound healed, he poured the blood into the stomach of Xiao Chiyo's father, the unfilial son in Chiyo's grandmother's mouth.

Two more knife strikes sent them to sleep.

Yaezakura, who witnessed all this, was very confused. She couldn't understand why the monster could turn into a living person after Li Mo infused his blood into it.

"You saw everything with your own eyes. Whether you believe it or not is up to you."

"I'm just offering my opinion."

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be something in the village that is constantly sucking the vitality of the villagers. The absorption of vitality is not immediately reflected in aging or physical decline, but in actual lifespan."

"Once vitality drops to a certain level, a living person will become distorted and transformed into a monster in your eyes. When the vitality that makes a living person disappears completely, that's when they become a monster."

"That's what I'm saying. It's not the appearance of the monster that makes the village strange, but the village itself is strange, which leads to the appearance of the monster."

"If I'm not mistaken, there will be fewer people in the village after each sacrifice. And no monsters will appear in the short term, right?"

Li Mo held the amulet around his neck, which had turned from white to black, meaning that he saw something that others could not see, or that he had resisted Yaemura's cognitive pollution.

This thing is more useful than he imagined. Cognitive pollution is far more dangerous than a ghost.

Yaesakura thought for a few seconds and nodded affirmatively.

Before and after every sacrifice, there would always be news in the village that someone had not returned home at night.

When Yae Rin was still able to move, the two told each other that it was very dangerous outside the village at night and that they must not stay outside.

They don't understand why there are always people who break the rules and die because of curiosity.

At this moment, when Yae Sakura saw Chiyo's parents lying on the ground, something she firmly believed in her heart was destroyed.

"So, the sacrifices were never made with monsters or animals, but with the people of the village..."

"Thank you, Mo-jun. I want to go back and tell Lin about this right away!"

Li Mo thought to himself that if Yae Sakura quickly understood the truth from him, she would trust him more in the future.

You can wield the magic sword for his own use.

After all, it seems that only Yae Sakura can use the demon sword without any cost, but if it were me, the situation might be different.

Thanks to Akazome Sakura's ability to kill demons, the danger of this mission will be greatly reduced.

Let’s hope so.

"Well, let's separate for now. I'll take Chiyoko's parents back. As for that life force-sucking thing... I'll find a way to find it. Until then, just proceed as normal."

"it is good!"

After saying goodbye, Yaezakura ran back to the shrine in a hurry.

Judging from his anxious expression, he must be trying to remind Rin about this.

Li Mo put the thermometer to his heart, and the display showed that it was close to zero degrees, which meant that he had consumed too much vitality and was about to enter a state of triple death.

Even though he didn't overuse his strange powers in the second death state.

"The pollution is spreading so fast. If I don't hurry up, I'm afraid I'll lose all my chances of making mistakes."

Four deaths is the limit, and now he is only one step away from three deaths, which means that Li Mo only has one chance to restart.

As time goes by, even this single reboot will be absorbed by that thing.

At the same time, on the other side, Yae Sakura hurried back to the shrine. When she was about to reach Rin's room, Yae Shinto suddenly appeared and blocked Yae Sakura's way.

When she saw her father, Yae Sakura suddenly felt a strange feeling for some reason.

But out of long-standing habit, Yaezakura still bowed her head politely and said respectfully, "Good morning, father."

Yae Shinto stared straight at Yae Sakura, narrowing his eyes slightly as he looked at the beads of sweat dripping from her temples.

"You seem very anxious. Ying, you are an honest child. Tell your father what you did just now."

Yae Shinshu walked in front of Yae Sakura, his tall body blocking the sunlight shining on Sakura, leaving only a deep haze.

Chapter 24: Respecting the fate of others and letting go of the desire to help others (5k)

Yaezakura pursed her pink lips slightly, raised her head and replied calmly: "Send Mo Jun away."

Yae Shenzhu was stunned for a moment, wondering who Mo Jun was that Yae Sakura was talking about.

But after thinking about it, I found that there was no such person in the village.

Whether it was the outsider from the past or the one who just arrived yesterday, none of them had the word "Mo" in their names.

"Who is Mo Jun?" asked the Eightfold Divine Lord.

"It's the outsider who came to the village yesterday."

"Dark hair?"

"Ah."

"What's his full name?"

Yae God Lord realized that the Mo Jun that Yae Sakura was talking about was the black-haired boy from last night.

Yaezakura shook her head: "I don't know, Mo Jun didn't tell his full name."

Yaejin-sama was a little disappointed. He glanced down the mountain and asked, "Why is he coming to the shrine so early in the morning?"

Yae Sakura answered truthfully, "Sakura happened to meet Mo-kun while cleaning the steps below the shrine. After talking to him, she learned that Mo-kun knew a little about medicine, so she brought Mo-kun to the shrine to treat Rin."

"Father, Lord Mo said that although Lin's illness cannot be cured, as long as he continues to receive treatment, he can maintain his life..."

The Eightfold Divine Lord waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "Let him come, I don't care. As long as he doesn't do anything that violates the village rules, that's fine."

"Thank you, father."

Yaezakura bent down and lowered her head, expressing her sincere gratitude to the Lord Yaezakura.

Allowing Li Mo to enter and leave the shrine freely means that whenever Lin has problems, he can receive timely treatment and no longer have to endure the pain of illness.

They can go to school and play like normal children.

Then we will go to the cherry blossom forest in the village to enjoy the cherry blossoms and have a picnic.

When she thought of this, Yaezakura couldn't help but smile gently.

But the next second, the question from Yae Shinto Lord made the smile on Yae Sakura's face stop abruptly——

"By the way, you haven't seen any monsters entering the village recently, have you?"

Yaejinushi looked down at Yae Sakura who remained bowing, as if thinking about something.

"..."

"..."

"No, no." Yaezakura held it in for a moment and lied with difficulty.

The Eightfold Divine Master walked towards the castle tower and before leaving, he warned, "I'm going to the castle tower to prepare for the sacrifice. During the sacrifice, there will be monsters that will interfere. You must carry your spirit sword with you these days and do not hesitate when you see a monster."

"……Yes."

hesitate……

Yaezakura was in a state of confusion.

From a little girl who was afraid of stepping on ants at the beginning, she has now become someone who can focus on killing any beast except humans coldly and ruthlessly.

Yae Sakura constantly told herself that the ones she killed were demon beasts, monsters, and enemies that would harm her friends and family.

But what if the so-called monsters are all human beings?

Yaezakura remembered Li Mo's hypothesis that the sacrifices were never made with monsters and animals, but with everyone in the village.

So what had he been doing all this time? Using a knife to extract tendons and veins, severing limbs, and watching them writhe and groan in agony?

"..."

Lost, confused, and...sick.

I hadn't thought about it too much before, but after thinking deeply about it, and replacing the faces of those beasts struggling before death with the faces of familiar people in the village, I realized how cruel I was.

The innocent little girl dismembered herself with a knife. Yesterday she was talking about her future friends and the elders who took care of her.

Yaezakura immediately covered her mouth with her hands, her stomach churning, and she forced herself to suppress the nausea.

If Lin knew about this, if Mo Jun verified it...

Yaezakura immediately fled the scene, went to the water tank, and slammed her head into the water.

A cold feeling swept over the head, and wet drops of water flowed down the tender cheeks.

Her mood finally calmed down, but when Yaezakura opened her eyes, she saw a row of hideous human faces at the bottom of the water tank.

"Why? Sakura, aren't we best friends?"

"It hurts!"

The face of the friend who disappeared in the past was full of despair, and as the ripples swayed, his cheek was cut in half from top to bottom.

Just like the day she disappeared, Ying raised the magic sword high and chopped off the monster's head from the top of its skull.

"what!"

Yaezakura immediately pulled her head back from the water tank, lost her balance and sat on the ground, looking at the tank tremblingly.

"I……"

"I……"
