Weird collapse, chasing husband crematorium

Perhaps he could also give it more rules, such as killing outsiders who polluted too much, saying specific words to prove his identity after seeing Xiao Chiyo, and killing derivatives or outsiders who tried to prevent him from taking Xiao Chiyo away from Yae Village...

But his body couldn't support him anymore. Li Mo could feel that the pollution had begun to invade his consciousness. Only the vague and wonderful fantasies in his mind could stop the spread of the pollution.

He was only one step away from becoming a complete weirdo.

Although the above three rules have many loopholes, they are the limit of what he can do.

As for whether Xiao Chiyo and Chiyo would walk out of the courtyard and go to the derivatives they created, that was not something Li Mo should consider.

Maybe they will mistake the derivative for a ghost and hide in the house.

You may also leave the house when you see the derivative and follow the derivative.

Li Mo no longer had the energy to interfere in this matter.

If they are lucky, other outsiders may also be able to leave with Xiao Chiyo.

Of course, that is a low-probability event. For most people, missing out is the norm.

Perhaps, only those protagonists who travel back from the future can seize these opportunities for those who are struggling in the present.

Whether it is Xiao Chiyo, outsiders, or himself.

No one can completely decide the final destination.

Because we are all the same.

It’s all determined by fate.

The derivative Li Mo was like a child who had just learned to walk, falling down as he walked.

After several attempts, he gradually learned to walk skillfully, or perhaps, he was just regaining some of the characteristics of "Li Mo". His walking pace, posture, and speed were all close to those of a normal person, Li Mo.

Derivative Li Mo went downstairs silently and walked towards the courtyard of Xiao Chiyo's house along the way he remembered.

Apart from the most basic incomplete soul, Li Mo did not give him the ability to speak or think.

Therefore, the derivative Li Mo can only act strictly according to the rules like a walking corpse.

"This... should be enough..."

Li Mo's voice was a little hoarse, his vocal cords seemed to be damaged, and his normal human organs began to decline.

"I don't owe you any more."

Li Mo held onto the wall and slowly walked towards the top floor of the castle tower.

In the bedroom, Xiao Chiyo suddenly woke up from her dream and stared at the mirror on the windowsill in a daze.

There was no sign of her in the mirror.

The moonlight poured in, as white as water. She got out of bed and stared blankly at the mirror, her peripheral vision suddenly catching sight of a pot of blood peach blossoms in the corner.

The pink is tinged with scarlet, full of vitality, and filled with bursts of rich floral fragrance.

When was it released?

Grandma doesn't have the habit of putting flowers and plants in the room...

Xiao Chiyo slowly moved closer, and the fragile flower bud rubbed her small fingers.

In a trance, a familiar figure appeared on the hill outside the window.

Chapter 31 A Mistake I Won't Make Again

"what is that?"

Through the slightly opened window, Xiao Chiyo saw a thin and frail dark figure on a small hill not far away.

"It's so late, why are there still people standing at my door?"

Out of curiosity, Xiao Chiyo opened the window completely and stuck her head out to take a closer look.

Xiao Chiyo closed her eyes and couldn't see clearly no matter how hard she tried.

The figure on the hill was motionless, like a statue in the dark, lifeless.

The moonlight did not illuminate it, and rich black was the only color.

"Hey! Who are you?"

Xiao Chiyo put her hands to her mouth and shouted loudly.

The dark shadow still stood on the hill, with no response.

"What are you doing standing at my door?!"

The shadow remained indifferent.

But the danger is growing quietly, and the cries in the dark are not just calling for humans.

The hill began to distort in space, but the change did not last long before it stopped, as if the progress bar was blocked by something.

Another strange black shadow appeared behind the original black shadow on the hill.

Approaching step by step, the strange black shadow had a green light in its eyes and a bloated body, like a huge rat.

Xiao Chiyo was shocked. Could it be that a monster appeared in the village again?

But didn’t the sacrifice just take place?

In the past, the village would have a brief period of peace after the sacrifice was over, right?

Without time to think more, Xiao Chiyo shouted at the thin black shadow on the hill: "Hurry up, there is something behind you!"

The black shadow of the giant rat swayed, and its two small hands leaned on the human figure, opened its mouth and bit down on the neck.

"boom!"

A flower of blood suddenly exploded in the dead silence and darkness, and the black shadow of the giant rat was torn into pieces. The body parts that fell to the ground quickly rotted.

Everything returned to silence, and there was still only a human-shaped black shadow on the hill.

"Well...I have to tell grandma."

Xiao Chiyo quickly put on her clothes and went to her grandmother's room next door, and called her grandmother to her room.

The moment Grandma Chiyo saw the window open, she was startled and felt uneasy.

Because Li Mo reminded me to close the windows last night.

I just don't know if tonight is different from last night, and if they need to close the windows tightly. If not, then I'm afraid they won't be able to sleep tonight.

Grandma Chiyo quickly stepped forward silently and prepared to close the window.

But Xiao Chiyo pulled her clothes and pointed her finger at the dark shadow on the hill: "Grandma, why did you close the window so quickly? There was someone outside looking at us, and no matter how I called him, he didn't respond."

"Then something that looked like a demon beast suddenly exploded with a bang when it got close to him!"

As Xiao Chiyo said this, she used exaggerated movements to show the monster exploding.

Grandma Chiyo was even more terrified after hearing this. This was no longer something they could solve. If that thing got into the yard, she and her granddaughter might be torn to pieces like fireworks.

I could only pull Xiao Chiyo back by force and close the window.

"..."

On the hill, the derivative created by Li Mo had empty eyes, and the pollution on his body far exceeded that of Li Mo on the other side of the castle tower.

The wound on the neck healed quickly, but before it healed, what flowed out of the wound was not Li Mo's severely contaminated black and red blood, but a brilliant golden liquid.

It is exactly the same as the brilliant golden stream when entering Yae Village.

The giant rats from Yae Village that tried to get close to it only licked it a little bit, and the laws and forms of existence underwent indescribable distortion.

The existence of ghosts is not based on real bodies, but comes from an untouchable and mysterious source.

It's like a river that never stops flowing.

Restart, recovery, and regularity are all part of the water in the river, and the water depends on what overflows from the source.

The giant rat's origin has obviously undergone unspeakable changes. Its real body has been distorted, and the laws have suddenly disappeared, flowing into another river.

It is absolutely impossible for the derivatives to have a pollution level exceeding that of the original body.

Just like the energy of the only universe, it is impossible to increase.

unless……

The derivative still stared at Xiao Chiyo's room, and it was still restricted by the three laws.

If only the first rule is followed, life or death, no matter the method, it can be accomplished easily.

The second article restricts the first article.

The third rule is to limit its existence, and after completing the first rule according to the second rule, execute the third rule - self-destruction.

But in other words, if the first law is not completed, it will last forever.

This won't affect anything, after all, it has no thoughts.

Nor will it become a real ghost.

Its essence is a river, not a source.

But who knows what will happen in the future?

What if the source is cut off?

Time passed by minute by minute, and under the night sky, the candlelight flickered, and the darkness it illuminated seemed to be swaying like a ghost.

It symbolizes that the life of a living person is being eaten away bit by bit.

After being scolded by her grandmother, little Chiyo curled up in the quilt, and her heart was restless for a long time.

Although they were far apart, she clearly felt that the other person looked familiar, not to mention that it was a human figure, so what was there to be afraid of?

After hearing her grandmother in the next room go back to bed, Chiyo couldn't wait to take out the mirror her grandmother gave her.

The bronze mirror unexpectedly became bright.

Grandma asked her to give the mirror to her older brother, saying that he would know how to use it.

Xiao Chiyo turned the mirror towards herself again, but still couldn't see her appearance in the mirror.

But before, when grandma looked in the mirror, she could see her appearance in black and white.

Xiao Chiyo suddenly had an idea, and carefully opened the window and pointed the mirror at the dark shadow on the hill.

Logically speaking, because the distance is too far, you can't see the person's face clearly in the mirror.

But this mirror strangely reflected the true appearance of the black shadow.

Xiao Chiyo tilted her head and looked at the mirror, wanting to know if this strange mirror could reflect the other person's appearance.

"Big brother?"

Xiao Chiyo was stunned and looked at the face in the mirror in disbelief.

In the mirror, Li Mo closed his eyes and lay in a dim black coffin. The coffin lid was lowering little by little, and he was about to be buried.

After receiving the news, Xiao Chiyo couldn't wait to get out of bed again and wanted to tell her grandmother that the dark shadow outside was Li Mo.

When Xiao Qianyo's attention shifted, the image in the strange mirror suddenly changed.

The haggard-looking Li Mo was facing the young Li Mo in school uniform, seemingly saying something. The two were standing on the river bank, and the stream beside them was particularly gorgeous under the afterglow.

The next second, Li Mo pushed the young Li Mo into the stream without hesitation.

……

……

After a while, Li Mo woke up on the river bank.

A notebook that records endless years lies lonely beside me.

The night wind rustled, and the flickering candlelight was the only visible object in the darkness, attracting waves of prying eyes.

People, ghosts, and derivatives.

"Grandma, why do I feel like... someone is always watching us."

Xiao Chiyo couldn't help but shudder and held her grandmother's arm tightly.

After she told her grandmother the whole story, her grandmother confirmed it and immediately took her out of the courtyard and walked towards the figure on the hill.
