"I'm... Li Mo."
Li Mo looked around and murmured softly, "Outside Yae Village, huh? So at this moment... I'm going to die soon."
"Li Mo" casually spoke of his impending destruction in the future.
If Li Mo were still alive, he would definitely be shocked as to why the derivatives had the ability to speak and think.
"The prophecy of the 'blood newspaper' was correct. My memory is starting to become disordered. I've forgotten the original appearance of many things: the time, place, people, events, the overall situation... All my memories are mixed together, becoming unrecognizable. Even their names are all mixed up. I can't tell who they are, and I don't know my own name."
"My emotions started to get out of control, sometimes I was cold, sometimes I was irritable. I was sent to a regular mental hospital. There were both normal people and mental patients there, but no one wanted to get close to me. As time went on, my instincts started to get confused, and I couldn't control myself anymore."
"I've lost all my humanity and subjective emotions. Unlike before, my brain is now dull and slow, like a rigid, single program, strictly running according to a distorted instinct code."
“Everyone and everything in the world gradually revealed their dullness and scarcity, and eventually disappeared from my sight. I could no longer see any color.”
"I lost, I lost my humanity, which was supposed to be my last trump card."
"The countless strange things in my body broke out."
"Li Mo" sorted out his memories while walking towards the end of the stream, where there was a grave.
The statements he made didn't seem to be memories related to Yaemura, but rather something even further away...
"The only solution I can think of is to cut off the future and connect it to the past."
"But the price... is particularly high."
"Li Mo" came to the grave and snapped his fingers. The soil outside the grave seemed to flow back in time and turned into the time point when the coffin was not buried.
The only difference is that the coffin turned into an ordinary black coffin.
"The law of 'self-destruction'... I was really cautious back then, even using 'self-destruction' on the derivatives."
Immediately, "Li Mo" said to the black coffin: "I said, you will have the strange ability of silence."
Li Mo said softly, without even raising his left hand.
This is not "usurpation" but "making a wish".
Only Weird Bud can fully utilize the ability to "make a wish"...
Make a wish and bear the same price.
As soon as he finished speaking, "Li Mo" knelt on the ground, his eyes dull, and his body began to disintegrate like broken glass.
However, only half a second later, "Li Mo" stood up again, but his body was still collapsing and the derivatives could not be restarted. It was only because of certain laws in his body that he was temporarily immortal.
"Li Mo" carved a few words on the tombstone.
Then he jumped in without hesitation. It was pitch black inside and the coffin lid closed automatically.
The law of self-destruction is still in effect, and the law is absolute.
When the coffin lid was completely closed, "Li Mo" saw the bright moonlight shining into his eyes.
A trace of nostalgia appeared on his face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said softly:
"Keep moving forward, even if the future is filled with despair..."
"No matter what happens, please trust Mei... Although, you will soon feel her betrayal, even if it is just a lie."
"I once had an unrealistic fantasy. I imagined that I could preserve my memory and go back to the past, see her, hug her tightly, and tell her from the bottom of my heart: thank you..."
"Maybe she will feel confused, but this is the only thing I can do. Apart from that, there is only—"
"To me who came here."
The coffin lid was completely sealed, and the "Li Mo" inside was completely silent. The life of the derivatives is a continuation of the rules. When the rules are silenced by the black coffin, the derivatives are like a brain-dead living person, losing their "life".
The final expression is one of regret, of remorse, of relief after exhaustion, of liberation from a heavy burden.
----
On the fourth floor of the castle tower, Li Mo dragged his tired body and finally stepped into the residence of the source of the strangeness in Yae Village.
It is very dangerous to face the source of the weirdness.
Guiqi and Guihua are examples.
Except for a small number of strange sources whose laws are extremely difficult to trigger, the laws and abilities of any strange source can easily kill people.
What's more, life is like a candle in the wind.
Even if you just stay here and do nothing, the pollution on your body will kill you within a few days.
There is no way out.
If he did not follow the instructions in the notebook, he would surely die from excessive pollution in a few days, suffer a mental breakdown, and eventually degenerate into a weird state.
"Uh-huh..."
Li Mo's throat trembled and made a strange sound.
As soon as he raised his head, he saw a huge cocoon hanging on the ceiling. Unlike the layers of insect nets wrapped around it during the day, this time Li Mo could clearly see the person inside.
But before Li Mo could communicate with it, the Seed of Sorrow suddenly stretched out several insect webs.
However, it did not attack, but just wrapped around Li Mo's waist and brought him to the Seed of Sorrow.
After seeing Li Mo's appearance clearly, the people inside showed expressions of astonishment.
"Brother... aren't you already... dead?"
"I'm not the person you know." Li Mo replied indifferently.
It seems that the other party can communicate and knows my peers.
Li Mo then pointed to his waist where the blood marks were left and said calmly: "But I am indeed dying."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling controlled the Seed of Sorrow and put Li Mo on the ground.
Only then did Li Mo witness the full picture inside the Seed of Sorrow.
A huge cocoon filled with dense insect webs, with Ling from the previous civilization in the center.
A single ponytail, a former civilized school uniform, and the faintly visible erosion wings behind.
but why?
Why is Ling still alive?
If she relied on a strange power, how could she maintain her sanity? Fifty thousand years is not a short time at all.
and……
Li Mo asked in a cold tone: "It was you who set up the sacrifice and the ghost appearance of Yae Village."
"The people here were all normal, living people. You tampered with their memories and turned them into your own derivatives, giving them some of the characteristics of real ghosts."
Li Mo has a sharp gaze. In the original novel, Ling was a naughty student. Later, in order not to leave her sister Ying, she joined the logistics department of the Fire Moth.
He was subsequently detected as the Twelfth Ruler.
Because of fear and "discipline".
Killed by the intruding soldiers, the prerequisite for the transformation of the Herrscher of Corrosion was triggered: death. Finally, he became the complete Herrscher of Corrosion, invaded the human database, and controlled nuclear bombs to destroy the last few cities.
The original plot is for reference only. Li Mo is well aware that the direction of the world has deviated a long time ago.
As for what I just said, most of it is just speculation.
Why is the strange pistol effective, but suddenly loses its effect after being successfully suppressed?
The answer became clear after seeing the Seed of Sorrow, especially when seeing Guiqi's arrival and tearing off the insect net that the Seed of Sorrow stretched out from the castle tower and connected to many ghosts.
The strange pistol can suppress the ghosts in Yae Village, but it will lose its effect against the seeds of sorrow that have been deposited for 50,000 years.
Faced with Li Mo's questioning, Ling lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
"Brother, have you seen my sister?"
Li Mo nodded: "Yes, she has. She once saved me at night. She is only in her teens now."
Ling shook her head, a look of sadness on her face: "That's not my sister, the knife in her hand is... my sister."
Li Mo stood there in a daze. Was that knife the Sakura from the previous civilization?
and many more……
So, the one who knows my real name is not Yaezakura, but Sakura.
On the night of killing Oni Kuma, Yae Sakura drew her sword before calling out her real name.
And the other expression that Yaesakura shows from time to time is not schizophrenia or a second personality, it is just that Sakura briefly occupies Yaesakura's body.
But why not just take over? How easy is it for a ghost to take over a human body?
"..."
"I see. That explains all of Yae Sakura's strange behavior. But I don't understand why she didn't just take over Yae Sakura's body. I don't believe that Sakura, who has become a demon, can't do it. If she can devour even demons, how can she devour a mere human?"
When Ling heard Li Mo calling out her sister's name, she smiled happily.
Although she didn't know why Li Mo denied that he was a familiar family member to them, it at least proved that the brother in front of her remembered them, but seemed to have forgotten something.
"Brother, have you forgotten? There is a price to pay for using Sakura Fubuki. Didn't Senior Beichen emphasize this when he gave it to you?"
"Sakura Fubuki can cut down anything, including demons, but the price is that you will become the same being. In other words... if you kill a demon with this sword, then your 'end' will be to become its kind, a demon without emotion, acting only according to rules, without exception."
"You told us later that the principle is to transfer all the pollution in the other person's body to yourself. It's a different kind of 'purification'."
Li Mo did not deny it. Since the other party believed that he was the brother in her memory, he might as well go along with her wishes.
Li Mo asked again: "But I see that Sakura and Yaezakura are both fine, and the price has not been paid."
Ling shook her head: "Brother, you have really changed... You never spoke to me in this tone before."
"My brother always pinched my face when he was talking to Ling..."
"Is Ling's current appearance... so ugly that it disgusts you?"
Ling looked down at the pathetic body whose limbs had dissolved into insect webs, it was extremely ugly.
Li Mo was silent for a moment, then quickly walked forward and put his hand on Ling's face. She had clearly absorbed so much vitality, but her face was cold and without any warmth.
Stroking back and forth.
Just when Li Mo thought that was enough and wanted to continue asking, Ling suddenly said: "Hehe~ Ling lied to you. In fact, you never touched my face and talked to me at the same time before."
Chapter 33 Yaemura's One-Sided Truth
Li Mo: “…”
Even Li Mo was caught off guard by this sudden situation.
But Ling's naughty character was indeed confirmed.
And... the rules of the pseudo-human were not triggered like before. This time Ling was just playing a joke on herself.
"That's great! It seems like my brother can't remember many things about Ling and my sister. This way, Ling doesn't have to worry too much about being disliked for the way she looks now."
"So you still haven't told me why you're doing this, draining the lives of those entering Yae Village, and that strange ritual."
Li Mo interrupted Ling's self-indulgent recollections.
Time is running out, and it is unclear how long the weirdness of this world can hold Guiqi back.
If you want to completely deal with the source of the weirdness, you must quickly carry out the next sacrifice, sacrifice yourself, and end the ceremony.
Li Mo had no idea whether he would still be alive after the sacrifice.
After all, dying is a gamble. Either you make a comeback or you lose everything.
Until then, try to get as much information as possible from Ling.
Ling hesitated for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Because my sister has been helping me to kill the demons that were born because of me, and to maintain my freedom of consciousness."
"But using Sakura Fubuki comes at a price, and I happen to be able to purify this price through my life force."
Li Mo: "Simply put, you will continue to pollute people to steal their vitality and purify the pollution. This is also the reason why Yaezakura can use the demon sword without limit. She is weird in herself, so she doesn't have to worry about the cost of the red-stained cherry blossoms. The pollution she endures will also pass through your hands and be offset by the life consumption of outsiders."
"And Yaezakura uses Akazume Sakura in rituals to kill sacrifices and outsiders who have turned into demons to prevent your consciousness from being polluted."
"Am I right?"
Li Mo dropped his hand from Ling's face and took two steps back to keep some distance from her.
