I, enter the zero world, change the ending

Only Yaoboji remained calm and composed, saying slowly, "You finally discovered it."

"Ah, I just realized that I am sometimes quite careless." Zhiyao smiled embarrassedly and scratched his scalp, "But...how did Shuiyun turn into a monster out of nowhere? Babai, do you know what happened?"

"Ask yourself about this." Yaoboji slowly turned her face to the side and said angrily, "Don't you have any idea what you have done?"

"Did I... do anything?" Zhiyao was confused.

"You really don't remember?"

"I don't remember, really."

"Huh..." Yaoboji sighed helplessly, then reminded, "Think about it again, what have you given to others?"

As soon as the words fell, all eyes were cast on Zhiyao. Zhiyao crossed his arms and thought hard, trying to recall every detail of his time with Shuiyun.

Until one day at noon, the scene in the Ghost Palace flashed through his mind.

"Ah, I remember now, the Spirit Stone!"

Yaoboji: "I just remembered it now."

"Yes...yes, ahahaha."

"Don't laugh! What did I say to you before? Do you still remember it?"

This time, Zhiyao immediately recalled it and replied at the speed of light: "Yes, you told me not to abuse the spirit stones carelessly."

"And what did you do? You didn't listen to anything I said and just casually gave the spirit stones to other people. Now, because of you, Shui Yun has turned from a human into a monster."

The accusations from the other side were well-founded. Zhiyao felt embarrassed and shrank her neck awkwardly.

Next to her, Shui Yun gradually sorted out the clues by listening to the conversation and slowly regained her composure from her shock.

Perhaps she couldn't bear to see Zhiyao being scolded, so she quickly tried to smooth things over: "Master Babai, since it has already happened, don't blame Sikong anymore. Although I have become a monster, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. If I must say something, I actually want to thank Sikong. If he hadn't given me the spirit stone, I would never have been able to come out alive and talk to you here."

The tone of the description was light and Zhiyao immediately cast a grateful look at her, and Shuiyun responded with a quiet smile.

"Shuiyun, have you accepted it?" Wuhui asked.

"It's done. What can I do if I don't accept it?" Shui Yun replied with a smile, "I'm clear-headed now, and my whole body is filled with incredible strength. I feel like I can do the work of a Yequan person."

"Night Springs people?"

"It's a general term for the male employees who are responsible for transporting the bandits containing the miko. They're all the hard workers."

"Sister Shuiyun, what does it feel like to become a monster?" Baiju moved in front of Shuiyun and asked while looking at her curiously.

Shui Yun looked at the two palms over and over again.

"Just what I just said, everything else is the same as usual."

Zhiyao, on the other hand, was more concerned about something and asked Yaoboji: "Can a small piece of spirit stone like that turn a person into a monster?"

"It shouldn't be that easy." Yaoboji poked her chin with her finger and slowly raised her head. "It's just that Shuiyun's situation is rather special."

The spirit stone must have been on Shui Yun at the time, and was taken into the coffin during the ceremony. The priestess who entered the coffin would not die immediately, but would continue to be eroded by the night spring until her body collapsed after she could no longer bear it. The priestess's spiritual power would block the night spring to delay the collapse. The stronger the spiritual power of the priestess, the longer she could last.

Logically speaking, after so many years, with the spiritual power she originally felt from Shui Yun, her body should have collapsed long ago. However, her body is now almost intact, thanks to the spiritual power that the spirit stone continuously provides her.

However, while providing the most solid protection, side effects are also unavoidable.

In the narrow sealed space inside the coffin, Shui Yun's body gradually changed from a human to a monster due to being bathed in the light of the spirit stone continuously for many years.

After she turned into a monster, the night spring had little effect on her, and she remained in deep sleep until Zhiyao opened the coffin and released her.

The above is Yaoboji’s analysis. Zhiyao thought about it and felt that it was pretty close.

"No wonder that damn old woman Yume said the soul connection couldn't be achieved."

"Because she's still alive." Kirie continued, "Yume can only summon the dead. Since Shuiyun isn't dead, her soul naturally can't connect to her."

"Honestly, I'm a little envious of Sister Shuiyun." Bai Ju couldn't help but sigh, and then pouted her lips and looked at Zhiyao sullenly, "Brother Sikong, why didn't you give me a spirit stone? I would definitely put it in the coffin, and then I would be able to come out alive."

Zhiyao smiled helplessly and gently stroked her head, "Baby, it's better for you to maintain the original setting."

"But I want to be a snow girl." Baiju squeaked in a muffled voice.

"Pfft...it's not up to you to decide what you're supposed to be. You should just be the ghost girl who went up the mountain that day."

As soon as these words came out, Wu Hui and Shui Yun both laughed, and the entire puppet room was immediately immersed in a relaxed atmosphere. Then, Shui Yun cast her eyes on Zhi Yao, and gratitude came from the bottom of her heart: "Mr. Sikong, I never thought that even after becoming a pillar, I would still be benefiting from your kindness. I was originally destined to die, but one day I could come out of it, and in a living form. I... I really don't know how to thank you."

"It's just a coincidence, it's just a coincidence, haha." With a hearty smile, Zhiyao patted her shoulder gently.

Noticing that this person had gotten carried away, Yaoboji asked in dissatisfaction, "Are you still feeling proud?"

Startled, Zhiyao quickly put away her smile and sat up straight.

"No, I'm reflecting on it."

"Not like it." Yaoboji obviously didn't believe it.

"It's true, it's true. I swear I will never do this kind of thing again." Putting his two palms together, Zhiyao made a promise with certainty.

There was silence for a moment, and finally, Yaoboji turned her face slightly away.

"Hmph, I'll trust you again."

"Ah ha ha."

It was almost seven o'clock when they came out, and now it was almost ten o'clock. The work had been done, and Zhiyao, who felt there was no need to stay here any longer, stood up first and notified everyone to go back.

Then as he walked out of the side door, he suddenly had an idea and decided to change the route.

"Shuiyun, Baiju, you two have never taken a cable car, right?" he asked excitedly.

"What is a cable car?" Shuiyun was very curious.

"Just follow Brother Sikong." Bai Ju said, and was about to return to Zhiyao's body, but at this moment, Wuhui's voice sounded beside her.

"Bai Ju, could you please stop calling Si Kong brother all the time?"

"Why?" Bai Ju was puzzled.

"You're 85 this year. Although Sikong looks older than you, he's actually only 20. Hearing you call him brother always feels weird to me."

"You are 166 cm tall this year, but doesn't Brother Sikong still call you baby?" Bai Ju asked back calmly.

Wuhui was suddenly speechless.

Walking straight forward along the backyard of the Katashiro Shrine, after climbing a slope of stairs, Zhiyao turned to another path on the right and continued walking forward. Soon he saw the cable car terminal.

Just as he was about to tell Shuiyun where the cable car station was, Shuiyun's voice sounded first.

"Hey, I didn't have this when I was alive."

"What do you mean when you were alive? Aren't you alive now? And this was built after you became a pillar." Zhiyao laughed, "Not only is the sun rising on the mountain, but the world outside is also completely different from what it was then."

Upon hearing this, Shui Yun sensed something and began to look around. "Mr. Sikong, this mountain gives me a feeling... it's a bit strange. Those women we saw in Youzhi Palace earlier shouldn't be alive, right?"

"No, they are all dead." Wuhui appeared next to her and answered for Zhiyao.

"Sister Shuiyun, a disaster later occurred on Rishang Mountain." Bai Ju was the second to speak. "After the disaster, the entire mountain was shrouded in the aura of the underworld, and the souls of the deceased could no longer reach the other side."

Shui Yun was shocked at that moment and hurriedly asked Bai Ju: "What's going on?!"

"It happened ten years after we became pillars. One day, a man came to the mountains seeking his own death..."

As Bai Ju was narrating, Zhi Yao beside him suddenly remembered something.

"its not right!"

"What's wrong?" Wuhui, Baiju and Shuiyun looked at him at the same time.

"The disaster shouldn't have happened. I clearly asked Matsumoto Sosuke for help, and he clearly agreed."

Kirie: "Matsumoto Sosuke?"

Bai Ju: "He's the patriarch of the Matsumoto family in Yangyan Village. Brother Sikong, I don't even know what you're asking him to do."

"He was asked to send more guards to protect the witches in order to prevent the disaster. He clearly promised, so why did the disaster still happen?"

"I'm not sure." Bai Ju thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't we ask the High Priest, or ask the soul of the culprit who caused the disaster? He should also be in Rishang Mountain."

Instantly, the image of an adult man holding a torch and a sharp knife appeared in my mind, and then gradually, anger burned in my heart.

"Yes, we should go find him." As his face gradually darkened, Zhiyao's eyes began to sharpen. "But I'm not asking questions. I want him to pay for everything he did. Let him pay the price he deserves."

"That guy is already dead..." Shui Yun said.

"The soul is still there, haha." Zhiyao said, occasionally looking around, and then remembered that he had not met that guy until now.

I really wish I knew where that guy is now. I really wish I could...

Forget it, I'd better go back first and think about how to make that guy suffer a fate worse than death.

As his mind settled, Zhiyao's expression slowly returned to normal. He entered the station's control room, followed his memory, and flipped the power switch. The next moment, the power switch next to him started up. Overjoyed, he was about to notify Shuiyun to depart when Yaoboji suddenly appeared behind him and Shuiyun, pressing their necks with both hands and forcing them under the control console.

Just as Zhiyao was about to ask the reason, he heard Yaoboji whispering.

"There's something out there."

Hearing this, Zhiyao shut up tactfully and waited quietly until Yaoboji's hand moved away from her neck, then she carefully poked out half of her head.

You won’t know until you see it. It’s shocking. There is a guy outside the window with his back to this side, slowly walking away. The weird thing is that the guy is as tall as two floors.

"Oh my God...what the hell is that?" Shui Yun was so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.

Wuhui's face was filled with disbelief as well. "It should be the soul of the dead, but... can humans really grow that tall?"

Bai Ju guessed, "Maybe it's the mountain god, or a monster like Sister Shui Yun?"

Amidst the various discussions, everyone entered the cable car cabin. When Zhiyao pushed down the operating lever, the cable car began to move slowly down the mountain along the track.

It was half past ten when we got back to town. When we passed the front desk, Zhiyao had changed to a guest room with two beds. Shuiyun couldn't stay with him like Wuhui Shiragiku, so each of them had to have a bed.

Sleep together?

That kind of thing is not within my consideration for now, although Shuiyun does like me.

Since Zhiyao slept until the afternoon, she was not sleepy at all. So she turned on the TV and chatted with everyone while watching the program. At the same time, hundreds of kilometers away, in a room in Kurosawa Shrine, Xili was lying in bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

Chapter 144: [Xili is restless]

Recently, Xili felt that everything around her was calm, but she also had a vague feeling that something was different.

If she counted carefully, it had been a while since she came to this world. Just like when she was rescued by Mihua, she stayed at home every day, except for a few times when she was forcibly dragged out by someone.

The man who dragged her out was called Sikong Zhiyao.

Xili has a hard time describing her feelings towards Zhiyao.

Just as Zhiyao said, Xili was given life four times in her life, the last time being by herself. Xili agreed with this statement in her heart, and later she often compared Zhiyao and Mihua subconsciously.

The reason is that these two people had close interactions with her after rescuing her.

Then in terms of scoring, Zhiyao is lower than Mihua.

That's how it was at the beginning.

As for the reason.

Zhiyao likes to act on his own, going against her wishes, and often acts overbearingly.

For example, forcing her to be together, forcing her to do tasks, and forcibly dragging her out of the house late at night.

All in all, the initial impression was really bad.

However, despite her resistance, as time went on, after being forced to accept the arrangement and her mood gradually calmed down, Xili gradually realized something and began to feel strange.

She found that she now had something to do and a goal, and no longer had to live in a daze every day like she did at the beginning because she couldn't find the motivation to live. And in the following interactions, she found that although Zhiyao seemed unreasonable, he actually really cared about her.

For example, getting her a legal ID, giving her pocket money, taking her out to eat delicious food, and carefully guiding and comforting her many times.

Maybe forcing her to be together is to make her feel less lonely, maybe forcing her to do tasks is to help her find the goal and direction in life, maybe forcing her to go out is to change her mood.

After gradually understanding all of the above, she began to change her opinion of Zhiyao.

In addition, Zhiyao has her own unique advantages, which Mihua cannot give her.

sense of security.

To this day, Yuri still vaguely remembers how at a loss Mihua looked when she encountered the evil spirit in the abandoned hot spring hotel.
