This time, the strange source did not seem to have the purpose of killing people. It killed people just to harvest vitality.

"Ghosts act according to patterns, and humans act for a purpose, so the source of the strangeness is likely to have a high degree of living consciousness."

"Outsiders will gradually lose their vitality. When their vitality disappears to a certain extent, they will turn into monsters and be sacrificed to some kind of existence."

“Perhaps the source I’m looking for lies in the sacrifice.”

"The sky..."

Grandma Chiyo described how Grandpa Chiyo stared at the sky in astonishment for a long time. What did he see at that time? What could have caused such a weathered old man who had seen so many bloody scenes to show such shock and fear?

Li Mo couldn't help but look up at the sky. It was clear and azure, like a veil without a speck of dust.

The amulet is in white state.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Li Mo washed the blood off his body and returned to Grandma Chiyo's house.

There is indeed a big gap between Chiyo's parents and Chiyo's grandmother. Even after such a big thing happened, they did not come to his mother to complain or give her any kind reminders.

For example: There is a madman in the village.

"Big brother! You're back! Look, I made a bamboo dragonfly this morning."

As soon as Li Mo sat down, Xiao Qiandai ran up to him excitedly and took out a simple bamboo dragonfly.

Spinning in front of him, the bamboo dragonfly danced in the air and fell to the ground after a few seconds.

"There is a kind of bamboo dragonfly in my hometown. If you put it on your head, it can take you to the sky."

"Really? Where is Big Brother's hometown? I want to go see it! Such a small thing can actually carry people away... Big Brother, you are not lying to me, are you?"

"I rarely lie."

"Emm... then big brother, tell me what that bamboo dragonfly is called. If you can't tell me, you're lying to me."

Li Mo paused, "Doraemon's Bamboo Dragonfly."

Xiao Chiyo tilted her head, her small eyes showing great confusion, and repeated the answer given by Li Mo.

"Doraemon?"

"What a strange name."

"By the way, big brother, this bamboo dragonfly is for you. Grandma said that you saved me when I was unconscious yesterday."

"Thank you, I'm going to eat!"

Xiao Qianyo handed the bamboo dragonfly in her hand to Li Mo and rushed out of the door full of energy.

Li Mo looked at the bamboo dragonfly silently. It looked crude because it was compared to the modern technological products in his memory, but in terms of craftsmanship, it was also well made.

I couldn't even find a few flaws, and the bamboo wood was polished very smooth.

But there are more important things to do right now.

Li Mo put away the bamboo helicopter and came to the gate of the courtyard. The threshold had been repaired, although the quality was not very good.

The peach forest was destroyed. If we were attacked again at night...

That thing seems to be in great need of vitality replenishment recently, so there is a high probability that it will plunder life again.

Li Mo glanced sideways and saw Xiao Chiyo sitting on a chair happily eating the food made by her grandmother.

There are people with the most vitality.

Chapter 25: The Notebook and the "Seeds of Sorrow" (5k)

While Xiao Qiandai was eating, Li Mo walked alone to the peach forest that was damaged by rats.

He didn't know how many peach trees he had to revive to withstand the next weirdness, but it was obvious that if he repaired this peach forest, he would most likely fall directly into the triple death state.

His vitality had been being drained ever since arriving in Yae Village, even though he hadn't used too many strange powers.

This is true for everyone in this village. Even if they appear normal on the outside, their organs and souls have long been decaying and decadent.

The child is fine, but the middle-aged outsider's organs are probably close to the age of sixty or seventy years old.

Grandma Chiyo, who rarely interacted with the villagers, was only one step away from death.

Fortunately, she came to the village with her husband when she was middle-aged, not when she was young.

"Even if I do nothing, the amount of pollution in my body will grow within three days, putting me in a triple-death state."

"But restoring this peach forest can give me more chances of survival at night. After avoiding the strange invasion, I was forced to suffer from the pollution."

"not to mention……"

Li Mo glanced at his flawless white left hand, which was as delicate as a snowflake and slightly pink. The sunlight reflected on his rosy skin, adding a golden filter.

In triple death state, unlock "Usurpation".

Realize what exists in memory and pay the same price in weird cognition.

It can greatly increase convenience.

"There's nothing to hesitate about."

Li Mo cut his right wrist and let the dark red blood fall onto the dilapidated and broken peach tree.

Something went against the laws of nature, and the blood was absorbed by the lifeless peach tree at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The rotten wood is reborn in the new spring, tender green buds poke out their heads, followed by the rapid growth of the trunk.

After a few seconds, the wound on his wrist healed. Li Mo walked to the next peach tree and cut it again, using his own blood to nourish these long-dead peach trees.

Over and over again.

Ten minutes passed quickly.

The peach forest began to recover. Before the forest could completely restore its own laws, Li Mo walked out of the area and came to the door of the house.

Although this peach forest could not stop him in the triple-death state, leaving would require a certain price.

He no longer has much room for error, and he must retain his remaining sanity, otherwise he won't even be able to use "usurpation".

As soon as he returned to the door, Li Mo noticed that Grandma Chiyo was looking at him with a bowl of cold noodles in her hand.

"Exorcist, are you... okay?" Grandma Chiyo asked hesitantly.

Li Mo's pupils had dilated, and to the naked eye he looked like someone who had been dead for a long time.

Grandma Chiyo survived a war-torn era, and most people of that era witnessed the appearance of death with their own eyes.

Bluish-gray skin, unfocused eyes, widespread corpse spots, and a cold, motionless body.

Li Mo meets all the above conditions.

The only difference was that he seemed to be still alive and able to move.

Like a resurrected zombie.

The rules of the fantasy ghost were suppressed. Li Mo glanced at it with dead eyes and did not answer.

"Thank you."

Grandma Chiyo bowed and thanked her.

Li Mo knew what she was thanking him for, because he had never focused all his attention on the peach forest.

The other party saw him repairing the peach forest with her own eyes, and coupled with the experience of feeding people with her own body that night, Grandma Chiyo should have had a guess.

Speculations about his current identity.

Ghost Exorcist?

Ghost exorcists are human, and humans cannot possess these strange abilities like ghosts.

In her eyes, Li Mo is a ghost with human consciousness.

In other words, Li Mo was originally a ghost, and he temporarily suppressed the ghost instincts with his willpower.

Li Mo didn't care about this.

"The festival will be held soon, so don't expect me to intervene during it. Also, keep an eye on Chiyoko. Even though she's not the sacrifice this time, she's still the shrine's top choice for the sacrifice."

After saying that, Li Mo turned around and went upstairs to his room.

It's time to consult an old friend.

Watching Li Mo leave, Grandma Chiyo felt relieved. She raised her head and looked at the lush peach forest, which was even more luxuriant than the one the old man had first built.

Compared to the past, its ability to block dirt has only increased, not decreased.

In comparison, the threshold she repaired herself was very simple. Limited by materials and time, this was the limit of what she could do.

Peach wood is relatively rare in the entire outsider circle.

Due to the climate and soil conditions, it is difficult for Taoshu to grow up in Yae Village.

Grandma Chiyo returned to the hall and sat next to little Chiyo.

"Chiyo, what are your plans for the future?"

"Hmm... I don't know, maybe she'll be like Mom. Even though Mom and Dad have become strange, they said the world outside is a hundred times scarier than here. Chiyo has never seen the outside world, so she's not sure if Mom and Dad are right..."

This village has always been strange, and everyone knows it.

But no one dared to leave, and no one could leave.

Grandma Chiyo also thought about it. If someone really took little Chiyo out of here, how would she face the bloody and cruel world?

A flower from a greenhouse came to a desolate land full of starving people. The people there were no different from the animals, some were even more primitive, not even sparing a piece of bark or a blade of grass.

The answer is obvious, Xiao Chiyo will be torn to pieces and treated inhumanely.

Therefore, if Xiao Chiyo really has a chance to leave here, she must find a strong person who can take care of her.

But this world is full of lies and deception, and it is useless to believe in anything.

Where can I find someone who is responsible, strong, and willing to take on a burden?

No, maybe right now.

Although he is strange, at least he has a clear bottom line.

Although they look inhuman, in many cases, humans are scarier than ghosts.

"The world outside is scary." Grandma Chiyo said to little Chiyo seriously.

"Hmm... then Chiyo should just stay in the village and live with grandma. When she grows up, she can take care of grandma."

Xiao Chiyo swallowed the food in her mouth and answered with a smile.

There was some oil stain at the corner of his mouth, and he wiped it with his sleeve after realizing it.

I had no idea that I would never see that day.

Happiness and peace come at a price.

There is no free gift in the world.

Grandma Chiyo gave a wry smile, walked back to the room and took out a bronze from the cupboard.

Unlike an ordinary mirror, the colors of the picture are not bright.

Grandma Chiyo looked at herself in the mirror, which was infinitely close to black and white, like a posthumous photo.

Grandma Chiyo walked out of the room with the bronze mirror and put it on the table.

"This mirror is so beautiful! Is it left by grandpa?" Xiao Chiyo came to the mirror excitedly.

The carved patterns on it caught Xiao Chiyo's attention.

Grandpa left behind many interesting and strange things that always made Chiyo's eyes light up.

Because these things are brought in from the outside world, they are particularly fresh.

The workmanship and style cannot be replicated in Yaemura.

"Hey? Grandma, is this mirror broken? Why can't I see myself?"

"Huh?" Grandma Chiyo was startled and came behind Chiyo.

There is only one picture in the mirror——
