"The Seed of Sorrow possesses both the consciousness of a living being and strange laws, the two coexisting."

"Just like... me."

The scorching sunlight shone into the dark little house, barely illuminating half of Li Mo's gloomy face.

Integrate all memories and clues to ultimately come up with the most likely guess.

All that’s left is verification.

Li Mo summarized it and divided it into five parts: the villagers of Yae Village, the red-dyed cherry blossoms, the seeds of sorrow, the Yae cherry blossoms, and the sacrifice.

All the natives of Yae Village are ghosts, or in other words, dead people. Communicating with them will only deepen your own pollution. You can communicate normally during the day, but if you encounter them at night, you will be attacked and it will be difficult to survive.

The law is single and incomplete, but it is related to some complete law.

If you leave the village at night, you will be targeted and hunted by ghosts. Ghosts have the average level of human intelligence, but they cannot increase their own intelligence by killing people.

Akazome Sakura's method of killing demons is to devour them. After killing a demon, she swallows it into the blade.

The cost is unknown, and the integrity is extremely high, but it seems unable to use the rules of the Devoured Ghost. According to the notebook, the owner, Yaezakura, is suspected to have a reversed relationship with Akazome Sakura.

The Seed of Sorrow exists above the altar, and its suspected source in Yae Village is strange, possessing the consciousness of a living person and strange laws.

They seize vitality by polluting outsiders and seize pollution through sacrifices, but the route of seizing pollution is blocked by Akazome Sakura.

Next is Yaezakura, twelve years old, who uses the demon sword Akazenzakura at no cost and is specially cared for by the Seed of Sorrow. No matter the time or the place, all the ghosts in the village avoid contact with her for fear of taking away her vitality.

Knowing his real name, he would occasionally fall into a strange state and say incomprehensible words.

The last step is sacrifice, where fallen living people are sacrificed. Their vitality is absorbed by the Seed of Sorrow before they fall. The pollution does not enter the Seed of Sorrow, but is instead swallowed by the Red Sakura.

But the Seed of Sorrow had no desire to attack Akazome Sakura.

Chapter 27 "Because we are the same kind..." (7k)

Dusk has arrived, and a hazy glow falls on the lush peach forest. The light and shadow are mottled, and the gaps between the branches and flowers are reflected with layers of strange shadows.

From the perspective of universal rationality, a shadow has no thickness; it is merely an optical phenomenon, the outline of a projected object.

But at this moment, the peach forest is beautiful and strange.

The shadows on the ground were dim and seemed to come alive, wriggling and twisting, trying to break free from the cage that bound them - light and objects.

Li Mo's blood cultivated this blood peach forest.

The nights in Yae Village are extremely dangerous, and in order to avoid attacks from ghosts and their derivatives, exorcism items are necessary.

However, no one knows whether it can still maintain its purest exorcism properties after being stained with strange blood.

Stronger? Or weirder?

that's not important.

Li Mo learned this truth a long time ago: if you can't even do the present things well, you will never be able to move towards the future.

"Save her..."

"Save her..."

"I know... you're here..."

Li Mo had just walked to the front of the peach forest and wanted to verify the function of the blood peach forest, but a faint and hoarse voice came to his ears.

"Who's in there."

Li Mo glanced around and did not rush into the blood peach forest. He stood outside and asked questions.

But after a long time, there was no echo in the blood peach forest, as if the words just now were just an illusion.

The voice was fragile and childish, but from an intuitive auditory analysis, the vocal cords seemed to be broken.

In this situation, you still have to endure the pain and call for help.

But why not save yourself?

she?

Who is she?

Li Mo tried hard to think about these doubts. The strange phenomenon occurred after he watered the peach forest with blood, and it must be closely related to him.

"Go inside the outermost layer and take a look."

Li Mo stepped into the blood peach forest. The moment he stepped into the blood peach forest, his sense of direction was completely lost. Moving forward was moving forward, but also moving backward.

This is the law of deception against ghosts.

As long as a ghost enters this blood peach forest, it is impossible to get out by relying on probability or luck. It can only break through by eliminating the rules of getting lost.

"It works well. Even I can't escape immediately without paying a certain price."

Li Mo left tentatively. He was only one step away from leaving the blood peach forest, but hundreds of peach trees blocked his way.

His sense of direction was completely lost, and his cognition was distorted by the laws of the blood peach forest. He couldn't tell whether he was moving forward or standing still without moving at all.

After confirming the pattern, Li Mo picked up the strange pistol and moved forward, trying to figure out the inexplicable cry for help.

He would not regard the cries for help from the Blood Peach Forest as an illusion. Moreover, this strange phenomenon was created by him. Perhaps he could get a glimpse of what he was like in the triple-death state...

Of course, there is another consideration.

If you leave the strange phenomena in the courtyard unattended, it can easily lead to bad things.

Maybe he couldn't be killed, but Chiyoko and her grandmother couldn't escape. It was impossible for him to replenish their vitality with his blood again.

He doesn't have many chances left, as he has enough pollution on his body.

If I can't find a way to break the deadlock, I will die in this village in half a month at most.

Yae Village is like a tomb, a place where the living cannot enter. Any living person who enters the village will step towards death.

It's just a matter of time.

It will be better for middle-aged and elderly people, but for children and people like him who are already contaminated, the disappearance of every breath of life is like the god of death knocking on the door.

"..."

"..."

Li Mo walked for two minutes but still didn't notice anything unusual, nor did he sense any strange aura from his own kind.

So he stayed where he was and shouted to the surroundings: "I'm coming."

"..."

"..."

Soon, Li Mo keenly noticed the friction sound coming from behind him.

Turning around, he saw only half of a body desperately crawling towards him, with the intestines and tubes in its stomach being pulled out of the body.

The two hands have a very healthy skin color. They are raised, grabbing the ground, and pulling the body forward with force.

But the speed was too slow, and even if it was given an hour, it might not be able to crawl to him.

Li Mo pulled the safety catch of the strange pistol and walked straight to the half body.

For some reason, he always had the urge to touch the other person.

You can't see the other person's physical features or face clearly.

I took out my phone to take a picture, but the phone couldn't even scan the face, and the photo was blank.

Conceptual rules?

Li Mo thought to himself.

Since it is a conceptual law, it means that no matter what means are used, it is impossible to find out the identity of the other party.

You can't judge based on your five senses.

However, Li Mo didn't quite understand why there was such a strange rule that prevented him from seeing Him?

Or is it because of special reasons that I cannot see Him temporarily?

Half of his body felt Li Mo approaching, and he stopped crawling. Instead, he raised his right hand with difficulty and said those words for the last time: "Save her... I... I know... you... are here..."

Li Mo was silent for a while, then squatted down, stretched out his left hand and held the other person's right hand.

Have normal body temperature.

And the blood on the skin.

"Who?" Li Mo wanted to ask the target.

But the voice for help stopped abruptly, and half of the body disappeared. When Li Mo stood up and came to his senses, he suddenly felt that he could walk out of the blood peach forest.

Just like... a living person.

After Li Mo examined his physical condition, he couldn't find anything wrong.

His emotions remained indifferent, but his rationality was still intact.

"A strange and inexplicable phenomenon."

"she……"

"who is it?"

Li Mo walked out of the blood peach forest and stared at the blood on his left hand thoughtfully.

The life force behind him completely disappeared, and the only thing that could prove what had just happened was the blood on his left hand that had not yet cooled down.

It's the blood of a living person.

"Big brother! Why are you standing there in a daze? Come over and finish your meal~"

Xiao Chiyo stood at the door of the hall and waved to Li Mo.

Li Mo took a look and then looked back at the sky.

The sun is setting.

Back in the lobby on the first floor, Xiao Chiyo and her grandmother were having dinner, while Li Mo was leaning against the door, wondering who "she" was.

"Big brother, don't you want to eat? Grandma, you don't even prepare a bowl and chopsticks for him! I've never seen big brother eat before. Look how pale his face is. He must be extremely hungry."

Xiao Chiyo tugged at the corner of her grandmother's clothes.

Grandma Chiyo shook her head helplessly: "Grandma has already prepared dinner for Mingyue, he has already eaten."

As for his pale face, that's probably because he's been dead for a long time from a physiological point of view.

Grandma Chiyo didn't explain too much because she didn't understand either. She just had a general idea of what kind of person Li Mo was.

"Oh, okay." Xiao Chiyo didn't doubt it at all. After all, Li Mo's stomach didn't growl.

Li Mo walked silently to the stairs and reminded him as he went upstairs to his room.

"Tonight, go to bed early and don't be curious."

After saying that, he went upstairs to his room and closed the door.

Xiao Qianyo tilted her head, not quite understanding what Li Mo meant by that.

All I knew was that grandma kept urging me to finish eating quickly and said that I wanted to sleep with her tonight.

That night, the wind was howling.

As expected, the small hills appeared outside the courtyard again, along with the black shadow of a giant rat standing on the hills.

Li Mo sat at the window, staring at him.

Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to care about Li Mo's gaze and kept his eyes on Xiao Qianyo's room next door.

In comparison, Li Mo's life is simply not worth mentioning, like a candle in the wind, no different from these ghosts.

“Sacrifice is a regular, cyclical activity.”

"The phenomenon that occurred before the sacrifice was simply because the strange source needed to replenish its vitality, so the ghosts ignored the exorcism items and dangers and forcibly killed people."

"Chiyoko's death once doesn't cancel the ghost lock."
