"The ghosts associated with the funeral did not disappear, they just became silent." Li Mo clarified.
"As for the fact that you didn't starve to death..." Li Mo turned his head to look at the baby not far from Shi Yu Qiluo, and he could almost conclude that it was caused by it.
Although Li Mo didn't know why it helped Shi Yu Qiluo survive, it didn't prevent him from dealing with the ghost.
Shigure Kirara nodded and changed the subject: "But during this time, I heard a female voice coming from the coffin, and some disgusting noises... Eh? You said you came out of the coffin...?"
"Your cognition is disturbed. I never said that."
“But there are no headless ghosts here.”
"Who said that? Isn't that it?"
Li Mo stretched out his hand and grabbed the cognitive ghost's head and pulled it up. The hair left by Guiqi held its body tightly, and eventually the body was torn into pieces.
Chapter 56 You are already dead
Li Mo is ready to "kill the ghost and silence him".
However, the cognitive ghost is weird and will not die, but Li Mo directly locked the time it was divided in, causing it to remain in a state of death.
Guiqi's space-time ability means that even if he has left this space-time, the people stranded there will not be released from the locked state unless they become more distorted and deformed over a long period of time and are contaminated by other weird things.
"This baby looks very much like the child who ate the grave incense that day." Shi Yu Qiluo felt that the other person looked familiar, and the identity of this ghost was indeed the ghost that swallowed the grave incense that day.
"I didn't even notice..." Shi Yu Qiluo was terrified. How long had this ghost been around her? A month? Two months?
If it weren't for these white hairs binding the ghost, Shigure Qiluo was sure that her end would be miserable.
"So I said your cognition was disturbed. I was right, right? I didn't enter the coffin from the beginning to the end. Really, do you believe me or your own memory?"
Li Mo looked at Shi Yu Qiluo with a wicked smile. Under normal circumstances, what he said would be extremely outrageous.
Do you want to believe my words or your own memory?
As long as you have a little bit of knowledge, you will choose to believe in yourself.
"I believe you." Shigure Kirara answered directly.
After so many days, Li Mo proved with her actions that his words were much more reliable than her own perception. After all, she had just been deceived.
This answer made Li Mo very satisfied and saved him a lot of time in explaining.
"By the way, you seem to have changed a lot?" Shi Yu Qiluo moved her feet and stepped on a puddle of water.
"Hair?" Li Mo didn't notice and asked in confusion.
"Not just your hair, but also...your emotions? Your expressions are much richer than before."
Shigure Kirara looked him up and down curiously and gave a fair evaluation.
"These changes of mine are not worth mentioning, because I have gained a strange power. This academy has a big problem. Tens of thousands of strange things have escaped from the infirmary, but don't worry, I will completely eliminate them, just like I eliminated this ghost baby."
Li Mo threw the ghost baby aside and no longer cared about it.
It is not clear what type of monster the other party is, but it is definitely not a human-headed ghost.
Only the head of the human-headed ghost is weird, the body is human, and this baby exudes a weird aura from top to bottom.
What's more, Saint Freya doesn't have any babies of a few months old, and there are not even many men, let alone babies, so it came from somewhere else.
Li Mo can now use the power of Guiqi to "detain" the weirdness in an alternative way. He can choose to bring back stable weirdness with controllable and known complete information, but for this kind of weirdness full of unknowns, the best choice is to lock it down completely.
When faced with something strange, it's never too cautious.
"Tens of thousands!? Then the world outside must be...!"
Hearing what Li Mo said, Shi Yu Qiluo couldn't help but tense up her nerves and clenched her fists. She wanted to leave here right now to deal with these hopeless things.
Even though her mental state was not good at the moment, she was alone in the woods, unable to move, and her body was even exhausted from not eating for a long time.
If it weren't for Li Mo and Kiana's "concert", she might have suffered a mental breakdown during these three months.
"You want to deal with them alone? Take me with you. I won't be a burden. I will obey you."
Shi Yu Qiluo looked determined and wanted Li Mo to take her with him.
Li Mo noticed Shi Yu Qiluo's current mood, and felt a little complicated...
She is no longer Shigure Kirara, but she has everything of Shigure Kirara: consciousness, memory, habits, sense of responsibility...
So in this case, can we assume that she is Shigure Kirara?
From an absolutely objective point of view, no.
But based solely on Li Mo's own feelings, the current Shiyu Qiluo is herself. She has inherited everything including Shiyu Qiluo's power and memory. From a certain perspective, she is herself.
However, the weird power that sustains life is unstable. Using weirdness to maintain life will eventually be contaminated.
Although Shigure Kirara looks completely normal right now, exactly the same as before, in the near future, her behavior and habits will become increasingly distorted, more abstract, and she may even lose her identity, becoming a completely new kind of weird.
"I'll take care of it, but before that, I have something to tell you... Qiluo, I don't want to lie, and I can't make up a lie that will lead to disaster, even if it's well-intentioned."
"You...are already dead, did you know that?"
"..."
Shi Yu Qiluo stood there in a daze. She didn't even question it, because these words came from Li Mo's mouth and were most likely true.
After hesitating for a while, Shi Yu Qi Luo came back to her senses and asked, "How did I die?"
Li Mo shook his head. "That's not important. Maybe he died of excessive blood loss after being attacked by the human-headed ghost on the day of the night watch, but that's meaningless. You are still alive now only because I am still here. I inherited a terrifying and strange power, and the continuation of your life comes from this power."
"In a sense, you are a derivative of my strange power, not the real Shigure Kirara."
"Your consciousness dissipated long before the real Shigure Kirara died. This strange power simply combined Shigure Kirara's life experiences and memories with your own habits and personality to create the you you are today."
Even Li Mo, who was usually nonchalant, stopped joking and explained the facts seriously.
After he obtained Guiqi's power, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity with many of the weird things, as if all these weird things were peeled off from his body.
There seemed to be countless invisible threads connecting him and those strange things, making them entangled.
No... those weirdnesses are not peeled off from him, but from Guiqi. Doesn't this mean that Kiana is the source of the weirdness in this world?
Shigure Qiluo fell silent. She slowly stretched out her hands, looked at them over and over again, and finally smiled with relief.
Maybe it's not letting go, but a helpless giving up.
No matter whether she is the real Shigure Kirara or the Shigure Kirara derived from the weirdness, since she inherited everything from Shigure Kirara, there is only one thing she has to do: stop the weirdness from spreading.
She is weird, so she needs to kill herself, which does not require much consideration.
"That's really bad news, but...thank you."
"I know this truth is cruel to you, but I can give you two choices."
Li Mo raised his right hand and extended his index finger. "For the first option, I will restart your time and return you to the day before you entered St. Freya's College."
"Don't doubt my words. If I say I can do it, I can do it. I will directly turn your time back to that day. You will no longer be a weird derivative, but the real Shigure Kirara. As for the rest of the aftermath, I can do it alone. I will deal with all the weirdness in this world and return it to its original state, including myself."
"And your price is... no, it can't even be called a price. It's the blessing and ideal that many people dream of. You will lose all your memories of the past few months, return to your normal life, become an S-rank Valkyrie, and during your vacation, cultivate your hobbies and continue on the path you were meant to take."
"You will no longer feel sickened by the memory of dealing with the weird, nor will you blame yourself or feel guilty for the sacrifice of your teammates."
"Because after I deal with all the weirdness in the academy, I will also restart them, but they have no choice. I will only let their memories go back to the day before they entered Saint Freya."
Li Mo spoke calmly, explaining every action and every consequence clearly.
He has always been a person who repays kindness and avenges hatred.
On the first night of the burial, Shigure Kirara made a promise with him to protect him before she collapsed.
When the group of human-headed ghosts attacked, she actually did it. She didn't let any human-headed ghosts come near her before she died.
So Li Mo would give her a choice, even though Shi Yu Qiluo herself didn't know what she had done.
"I want to hear the second one." Shi Yu Qiluo didn't hesitate for too long, raised her head and looked at Li Mo seriously.
Li Mo extended his middle finger again and made a "yeah" gesture.
"For the second option, I will still restart your time, but the time point of your return will be different."
"Your memory will remain until the morning of your burial."
Shigure Kirara bit her lip and asked, "Why don't you wait until the next night before I die?"
Li Mo said apologetically, "Because I forced my own ideas on you that day, I don't know if it had any effect on you, so the best way is to prevent you from ever experiencing it. The Valkyrie is a symbol of protection, and I am the executioner."
"You should be more pure, because you have always been this kind of person."
"..."
"..."
"Is there a third option?" Shigure Kirara asked in a low voice.
"There's no need to ask such questions knowing the answer. I prefer the first option, but I won't impose my opinion on you this time. You are free to choose either."
Shi Yu Qiluo did not answer. She lowered her eyes, nodded, and lowered her brows. It was unknown what she was thinking.
But his expression was very serious, and he didn't seem to be struggling anymore.
Li Mo believed that Shi Yu Qiluo was considering the authenticity of the matter. After all, his previous cognition had been interfered with, and perhaps his current interactions with her felt fake.
"Don't doubt my authenticity. Your cognition is not polluted by anything weird now. If you don't believe me, you can dig up my grave now and see if my body is still inside." After Li Mo finished speaking, he walked to his own grave and used the power of reason to construct a plain iron shovel.
Of course, Li Mo was just expressing his determination, he didn't really want to dig his own grave.
Chapter 57 Goodbye, Qiluo Star
Of course, Li Mo was just expressing his determination, he didn't really want to dig his own grave.
Otherwise, he would not have just constructed a Luoyang shovel, but would have used the power of the Herrscher to forcibly pull out the black coffin.
Li Mo looked back at Shi Yu Qiluo. She had a warm smile on her face and said to him politely:
"Please take me back to the morning after the burial. I want to remember this experience, even if it's only for a fragmented day."
"But before that, I have a small request..."
Shi Yu Qiluo clenched her right fist and stretched it towards Li Mo's chest, indicating a fist bump.
"Can you tell me your name? We've been through life and death together for so long, and I still don't know your name."
"You won't be able to remember it after the restart. Even if I tell you my name, you will forget it soon." Li Mo said.
"Just because you're going to forget, should you give up on remembering?" Shi Yu Qiluo smiled, and poked Li Mo's cheek with the index finger of her right fist.
Li Mo was slightly stunned, then stretched out his right fist and bumped fists with Shi Yu Qiluo.
"My name is Li Mo, Mo means strange."
"Li Mo..." Shi Yu Qiluo kept murmuring the name, "Your name seems to be the ending of the two of us. What a coincidence, strangers who met by chance... However, when I wake up again, I'm afraid I won't be able to remember it."
"My name is Shigure Kirara, but... I have a little selfish wish. I hope you can call me Kirara Star."
Li Mo sighed, and a dazzling golden divine pattern appeared on the back of his hand, as brilliant as a fleeting meteor in the night sky.
This power does meet these characteristics, but it is fleeting and disappears in a flash. It has never belonged to anyone, so naturally it cannot be kept in his hands.
Time began to flow backwards, and the hands of fate turned in the opposite direction, round and round.
Shigure Kirara's body, wrapped in a dazzling golden glow, was disappearing bit by bit.
Deep inside an auditorium at St. Freya's College, a young girl who had just woken up from meditation, grasped the elbow of one hand with the other and stretched out like a kitten.
The graceful body lines were displayed to the fullest, even though there was no one in the audience...
The ice-blue hair seemed like soft clouds, dancing gracefully in the air.
At this moment, Shigure Kirara's memory was still stuck on the first day of burial when she stayed up all night. When she came to her senses, she found that the auditorium was empty, and even the black coffin was nowhere to be seen.
"Hey!? What happened! Where's everyone? I just closed my eyes for a moment, how come everyone is gone? And that coffin, where's the coffin!? Why are all the grave incense gone!? Ahhhh, I'm dying!!"
"Hello! Is anyone there? Everyone! Gloomy man!"
"Stop screaming, I'm here."
Li Mo used Kong Lu's power to travel into the auditorium, leaning against the wall with a complicated look in his eyes.
This was also the first time he encountered such a situation, so he was not sure whether his choice was correct.
Perhaps... it would be better to restart Shigure Kirara to the day she arrived at Saint Freya.
