I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"Come on, honey, time for a drink."

Bai Ju took advantage of the situation and stuck to him, acting like a spoiled child: "I need Brother Sikong to feed me."

This was the original plan. Zhiyao smiled, scooped up a spoonful, blew away the heat, and then handed the spoon to Baiju's mouth.

"Be careful, it's hot, drink slowly." He reminded me warmly.

Bai Ju: "Ah————"

Zhiyao was speechless: "You don't need to open your mouth so wide when drinking water, it will spill."

Bai Ju stuck out her tongue: "Hey, hey, I know."

The warm sugar and salt water went down the esophagus into the stomach, and Bai Ju immediately felt warm all over, due to both the calorie replenishment and Zhiyao's thoughtfulness.

Before they knew it, the water in the bowl was empty. Bai Ju adjusted her posture and poured the water into Zhiyao's arms.

"Brother Sikong, can we stay here tonight?"

"Okay, right here." Zhiyao pinched her little nose and agreed readily, and at the same time scared her, "Your mother is going to boil some medicine. You will need to take it later. I'm crying a lot. I just want to ask if you are afraid."

"Don't be afraid." Bai Ju's face remained calm.

"Oh, that's Chinese medicine. I had the opportunity to drink it a few times when I was a kid. It was so bitter that I could hardly swallow it."

"Still not afraid."

"You're amazing. Baiju is the bravest."

Baiju smiled.

Before they knew it, several hours had passed and it was soon midnight. As sleepiness came back, Bai Ju said good night and closed her eyes, holding Zhiyao's fingers with her little hands.

This time, she looked peaceful and slept soundly.

Looking quietly at the little girl's sleeping face, Zhiyao lifted her bangs and left a kiss on her forehead.

"Hmm--"

The little girl was talking in her sleep.

"Brother Sikong...don't go..."

He was even worried about this in his sleep. Zhiyao was speechless and felt a little worried about leaving next year.

Although the time was set by Baiju himself, what if the bond becomes stronger during this period?

Maybe I should really consider taking her away?

only……

Time travel is completely uncontrollable. Unless we can find a way to actively trigger it, there is a possibility of bringing Baiju back.

Forget it, there will always be a way when you reach the mountain. There is no point in thinking about these things now.

I've agreed to everything, so I'll put aside the idea of ​​going back for now and spend this year well here.

He glanced at Bai Ju's sleeping face again. Perhaps because he saw how peacefully she slept, Zhi Yao unconsciously caught her sleepiness. His eyelids began to feel heavy. He lay down next to Bai Ju, slowly pulled his fingers out and held Bai Ju's hand, then closed his eyes.

【Baby, I will be with you】

He said silently in his mind.

Later, he gradually lost consciousness and had a dream.

In his dream, he was standing at the place where he first met Bai Ju. Suddenly, a dazzling white light appeared in front of his eyes, causing his eyes to sting with pain.

He just realized something, and the next moment, his mind shuddered.

……

When he woke up, Zhiyao found that he was not in Baiju's bedroom.

The surrounding scenery seemed familiar. Zhiyao got up and looked around, and found that this was Higashin Mountain and he was at the side door of Kageshiro Shrine.

Aren’t you sleeping at Baiju’s house? Why are you here? Are you sleepwalking?

Confused, he subconsciously glanced at the door handle and saw that it was rusty, as if telling the outside world about the wind and rain it had experienced over the years. Sensing that something was wrong, he inadvertently glanced at the floor and saw his backpack and the long wooden box scattered next to it.

The lid of the box was already open, revealing a lock of white hair tied with a red ribbon.

It looks like Baiju's hair.

Wait, Baiju's hair, the rusty door handle, could it be...

Just as he realized something, a female voice like the gurgling of a stream came from behind him.

"Sikong?"

Zhiyao subconsciously turned around and was completely stunned.

Standing there was his wife, Himuro Kirie, whom he had not seen for a whole week. In addition, the ghost doll Hanako was also beside her.

Thinking it was an illusion, Wu Hui rubbed her eyes several times. Zhiyao was still there, so Wu Hui quickly ran up to him and threw herself into his arms, extremely excited: "Where...where did you go? You suddenly disappeared, I..."

Zhiyao looked at her blankly, speechless for a long time. After recovering from his daze, he put his two palms against Wuhui's face, his palms were icy cold.

It was Kirie, that’s for sure, his wife, the real ghost girl from Himuro Residence.

This means it's 1987.

Am I back?!

Surprised and happy, Zhiyao suddenly hugged Wuhui, his arms tighter than ever before, as if she would leave him again if he didn't.

"Wife, wife..." he kept murmuring.

"Honey, I'm here." Wuhui also increased the strength of her embrace, her expression filled with happiness.

"Brother Sikong." Huazi grabbed the corner of Zhiyao's clothes and pulled it.

"Hey, Hanako, long time no see." Zhiyao freed one hand and placed it on her head.

"It's been a long time indeed. You suddenly disappeared. We looked for you everywhere, except for places that were forbidden to enter, but we couldn't find you. Luckily, you came back here."

"You guys came to find me."

"Yes, it's almost dawn." Wuhui continued.

Zhiyao looked up and found that the sky had begun to turn a deep blue, so she asked nonchalantly, "How long have I been gone?"

Hanako thought for a moment and replied, "About the whole night."

Just a whole night? Zhiyao was very puzzled. She had clearly stayed in the past time and space for a whole week.

Whatever happens, he can think about it slowly when he gets back. What he needs to do now is to leave this mountain and find a place to rest. Just as he picked up his backpack, the white hair in the box came into view again, and Bai Ju's voice and smile appeared in his mind.

I couldn't come back when I wanted to, and I came back suddenly after agreeing to stay. It's really fate.

I broke my promise. Bai Ju will definitely be disappointed and sad when she wakes up and can't find me. She might even hate me for not keeping my word.

Somehow, the image of Bai Ju crying appeared in his mind, and a strong sense of guilt quietly arose in Zhiyao's heart. He picked up the white hair in the wooden box and held it tightly in his hand, his eyes unconsciously moving to the side door of the shrine.

White chrysanthemum is inside.

But it’s not the one I know.

Because before he traveled through time, Bai Ju already existed in this time and space.

It is impossible for a person to have an extra memory out of thin air, so the Shiragiku in the story is the one who made an agreement with Aso.

Zhiyao inadvertently thought of the old man carrying Baiju's relics. He calmed down and decided to finish the task, which was also the original purpose of coming to the mountain in the first place - to hand the things over to Baiju.

"Hanako, Kirie, both of you, come inside me."

This time he didn't dare let the two stay outside because he was worried that they might encounter something and travel through time again.

Just as my hand was about to touch the door handle, three children came running towards me from the backyard. When I looked closely, I saw that they were the three children in the game.

Tianmu Jingzhen, the ancient capital of Okudera, and the sound of Tuye Lily.

The three children ran past one after another, and Shizuka Amaki was the first to open the side door and enter the house.

Okudera Koto glanced at Zhiyao and followed closely behind.

They were running very fast. When Zhiyao was looking in the direction they came from, her hand was held by Tuno Yurine.

"The evil master is coming, hide quickly."

A vicious adult?

Just as he was curious, Uzumaki Yuri pulled him into the house, closed the door, locked it and made a gesture to be quiet.

Holding his breath, Zhiyao put his ear to the door to listen to the movement outside. He noticed slight footsteps. When he turned around, Uzumaki Yurone was gone.

Maybe he went to the secret country, Zhiyao thought, and then walked to the door of the puppet room.

White chrysanthemum is inside.

He looked at the white hair in his hand again, then took a deep breath and opened the door.

There was no one inside the door. The only difference from the past was that there were many dolls placed inside, and the exhibition stand was still the same as before. He looked around, wondering whether he should shout a few times to lure Bai Ju out.

Just then, a very familiar voice came from behind.

"You're finally here."

Zhiyao turned around.

Before long, a little girl with white hair appeared at the booth and sat there.

The two looked at each other, and the little white-haired girl immediately jumped down and slowly walked towards Zhiyao, revealing her unconcealable joy under her indifferent expression.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time."

……

……

……

"Brother Sikong."

Chapter 132: The Truth of Everything

In front of him was the white-haired female ghost that Zhiyao remembered.

Although he has the appearance and body of a child, he exudes a mature and steady aura, and his deep red eyes can easily see through anyone's heart.

Just like Jinggong Lei's real gender was revealed when they first met, no one has any secrets in front of her.

In Zhiyao's cognition, the person in front of him was another Baiju who had made an agreement with Aso. However, a friendly call of "Brother Sikong" pulled his thoughts back to several hours ago, so that he saw the six-year-old child who was clinging to him.

"You... know me?" He asked subconsciously in a trance.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ju was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"How could I not recognize you?" Bai Ju asked back, "You are Sikong Zhiyao, Brother Sikong."

"We met many years ago, during the cherry blossom season. That morning, you suddenly appeared behind me. It was a first for me, the first time someone had spoken to me. Since then, I've gained so many unprecedented experiences from you. You played with me, fed me delicious food I'd never seen before, hugged me out of pity for my plight, called me a noble princess, raged at the man who pushed me down, and told me I couldn't sunbathe... So many years have passed, and my memories of many things have become blurry, but the ones about you remain in my heart and have never been forgotten."

In an instant, a pale little hand reached out and held Zhiyao's hands.

A cool feeling burned on her skin. Zhiyao stared at the bright red pupils, slowly squatted down, and moved her face forward.

"Bai Ju?" He couldn't help but murmur.

The next moment, Bai Ju's eyes returned to their child's clarity.

"Brother Sikong."

"Bai Ju..." He pulled out his hands and slowly placed his palms on Bai Ju's left and right cheeks.

"Well, I'm here."

The two looked at each other, and Bai Ju carefully felt the touch that she had not felt for decades. Then, she threw herself into Zhiyao's arms and hugged him tightly, her voice full of relief.

"You are finally back, Brother Sikong. I have been waiting for you for so long."

"You...you are waiting for me, then..." Still not forgetting the reason for coming here, Zhiyao quickly presented the tuft of white hair to Baiju.

He urgently needs to figure out something now.

"Baiju, look at this."

Bai Ju glanced at him and smiled serenely: "My Jixiang, you have it with you."
