"I'm happy," Xili said nonchalantly. "Because she and I are the same kind of people, I feel close to her."
His eyes suddenly lit up, and Zhiyao leaned over, his expression beaming with joy. "What about me? I'm the same kind as you. Do you feel any affinity with me?"
Obviously not expecting to be asked this question, Xili didn't know how to answer, so she remained silent. However, Zhiyao kept asking, and his urging voice continued to echo in her ears. Finally, Xili sighed and sighed.
"Sikong, I only now understand that people can really be so shameless."
……
At the end of January, the city welcomed the last snow of winter. Snowflakes were flying in the courtyard, and soft orange light shone through the window of a room. If you looked through the window, you could see a young man and a girl.
"I'm done here, how are you doing?" Zhiyao was still sitting at the square low table with her back to the window.
"Right away, I'll check it again." Xili now moved to the right side to make it easier to watch and copy.
As for why I didn’t sit next to Zhiyao, it was because it would be too crowded.
After the final check and confirmation that the content was correct, Xili handed the paper to Zhiyao, who stacked it in order according to the marked numbers and then pressed the stapler hard.
In this way, the copying process was successfully completed.
At the moment when the big thing was settled, Zhiyao seemed to have unloaded a long-accumulated burden and lay down dejectedly on the tatami.
Next is to test the effectiveness of the props.
According to the tutorial, the paper only needs to be stored with the spirit stone for half a month, and the power will become abundant due to absorption. Now that almost a month has passed, Zhiyao feels that there must be no problem.
After the test is over, that matter will be finalized, but before that, Zhiyao feels that he should tell Xili in advance.
"Hey."
His gaze slowly moved from the ceiling to Xili's face.
"Hmm?" Xili looked at him.
"There's something I need to inform you about in advance." Zhiyao turned over and slowly got up. "After Valentine's Day, I'm going to Rishang Mountain again."
The news came so suddenly that Xili was stunned.
Not only did she avoid that place herself, she also really didn't want Zhiyao to go there again because she was worried that Zhiyao would get into trouble again.
Evil spirits can be ignored, but what about mysterious powers?
For example, if you travel to another time and space, you can never come back this time.
She had already lost too much without Fang Xili, and now she doesn't want to lose anything, especially her companions.
"Why are you going to that place again?" she asked nonchalantly.
Chapter 154: [Videotape]
"Of course there's something going on."
"What's the matter?" Xili expressed confusion.
Going to Himuro's residence every month was understandable, as Kirie's true form was there, giving Zhiyao reasons to go. Plus, the gate to the underworld at Himuro's residence had been sealed, and no evil spirits were running rampant there, so Yuri had no objection. But Hikariyama was different. It was still a dangerous sacred mountain. Furthermore, Shiragiku's true form had returned, and she didn't know anyone who had gone there who needed to be rescued. In Yuri's opinion, there was no reason to set foot there again.
"What's the matter, Sikong, tell me quickly." Looking directly into Zhiyao's eyes, Xili urged.
Rubbing his waist, Zhiyao sat up straight, "It's something that was decided a long time ago." Then he calmed down and said the rest, "Do you still remember Shumu Gongzang?"
When Xili heard the name, her eyelashes trembled and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Of course she had an impression.
The adult male evil spirit, armed with a sharp blade and a torch, attacked her repeatedly, causing her considerable trouble. He emitted an unpleasant bloody odor. Since he was far more powerful than ordinary evil spirits, she had to be extremely alert in every battle, and she had walked on the edge of life and death several times.
All in all, a very difficult character.
"What's wrong with that guy?" Xili asked seriously.
"I'm going to cause trouble for that guy. No, to be more precise..." Zhiyao's eyes gradually became sinister, and her voice began to become hollow. "I want him to pay for everything."
Xili had never seen Zhiyao like this before, and she couldn't help but frown. After thinking for a moment, she decided to ask further about her motives.
"Why do you want to do this?"
"Because of anger and dissatisfaction, you should know why Rishangshan has become like this, right?"
Of course she knows.
"The miko were slaughtered one after another, causing the pillar to be overwhelmed."
"Then do you think that guy should pay the price?" Zhiyao continued to ask.
"Well……"
Xili suddenly didn't know how to answer this question.
The answer deep down in her heart was of course yes, but Yuri didn't think it was necessary to set foot on Mount Rishang again for this purpose.
Because the culprit of the disaster had already committed suicide at that time, and Zhiyao was just venting his anger and risking his life again for the soul of a murderer who had already paid the price with his life. In fact, it was unnecessary.
Looking at the floor, Xili fell into deep thought. After weighing the pros and cons again and again, she decided to give some advice.
"Sikong, I personally think..."
"I have to go. You don't need to persuade me." Zhiyao interrupted her immediately. "During the time I spent with Shuiyun, I gradually understood what kind of person she was. I also understood what kind of group the Crow Priestesses were, and the degree of pain they carried. They dedicated their entire lives without complaint. They were obviously great and should have been respected, cared for, and protected. But someone died because of that shady secret in his heart... I... I want him to know that even if the body is dead, the soul cannot escape punishment."
As the blood rushed to her head, Zhiyao's arms began to tremble slightly. Noticing this, Xili hurriedly comforted her: "I can understand how you feel, but..."
"Xili." Zhiyao interrupted her again.
At times like this, one should let the other person finish speaking first. Xili then swallowed the rest of the words and waited for the follow-up.
"I think you should support me, because Fengshi is one of the beneficiaries. Wasn't it for Fengshi that you agreed to work with me to find a way to seal the Yellow Springs Gate?"
When Zhiyao brought up this matter, Xili was instantly upset.
Because compared to other shrine maidens, her experience of the same world is more special, and her status and influence in Yuri's heart are far greater than those of other shrine maidens.
"So you see, this is necessary, right? Although she may not have any intention of doing so, or perhaps she's turning a blind eye because that guy is too powerful and there's nothing she can do about him, that doesn't mean we have to stand by and watch. I firmly believe that after this incident, she will be able to find some comfort, so what do you think?"
In an instant, Xili was speechless.
a long time.
"Well."
This voice indicated that Xili was wavering, so Zhiyao decisively struck while the iron was hot: "Even if I don't go this time, I will definitely go in the future, when I seal the Yellow Springs Gate."
"Is... is that so..." Xili silently looked away, her voice soft.
"Don't worry, I will be back in two or three days." Zhiyao promised solemnly.
"Time travel isn't something you'd expect to encounter easily." Bai Ju appeared beside Zhi Yao and spoke up for her. "It didn't happen the night we went to see Sister Shui Yun."
"I will protect Sikong's safety." Wuhui came out second, and then the three guardian spirits also appeared.
Xili's gaze swept over each of them in turn, and then gradually lowered her eyes.
After a moment of silence, he asked unhappily, "Do I have to go?"
"Please don't worry, nothing will be fine." Zhiyao patted Xili's shoulder gently and comforted her warmly.
"You thought the same thing last time, what was the result?"
"I came back in the end."
"Just luck."
"Okay, I know you care about me." Zhiyao showed a quiet smile.
"Who cares about you? You're just being sentimental." Xili immediately turned her face away with a gloomy expression.
"How about this? I'll call you as soon as we get there. I'll call you before we go up the mountain, and I'll call you right after we get down. I'll make sure I keep you updated on my whereabouts and safety at all times. How's that?"
Looking into Zhiyao's eyes, Xili read a firm determination in his eyes. She realized that this man was determined to leave and that no matter what she said, it would be useless. She shifted her gaze elsewhere and declared giving up.
"Hmph, whatever you want."
She looked cute when she was being upset. With a knowing smile, Zhiyao decisively reached out his hand towards Xili's head. Xili noticed this out of the corner of her eye. She glared at him, and her eyes conveyed the message that you dare to touch her.
Zhiyao chose to ignore this and kept his hand on Xili's head.
Then it was taken away at the speed of light.
"Can you please stop patting my head all the time?" Xili protested. "I'm not a child."
What he meant was "don't touch my head", not "don't touch" as before. Zhiyao read the implication of relationship improvement from the words, so she was secretly happy.
Taking advantage of his good mood, he fearlessly teased: "You are only 17 years old, not even an adult, how can you not be a child? By the way, I am already 20 years old, an adult, and it is natural for an adult to touch a child's head."
Seeing this arrogant look, Xili curled her lips in disdain and stood up calmly.
"Then separate them. Adults and children have no common language."
After Xili finished speaking, she walked straight out the door. Zhiyao, who believed that she was playing hard to get, did not stop her and watched Xili leave the room.
Then, things happened just as Zhiyao had guessed. After Xili went out, she did not return to the room, but stood at the door, wondering why this man did not come up to stop her like he did the previous times.
I am hesitating about what to do next.
"Xili?"
A female voice came from the right.
Xili looked over subconsciously.
"Ms. Kurosawa?"
At the same time, perhaps hearing the noise outside, Zhiyao opened the door of the room and walked into the corridor.
Today, Kurosawa Rei was wearing a khaki slim windbreaker and black tight trousers, with a black scarf around her neck. Because it was snowing heavily outside and she didn't have an umbrella, her whole body was covered with obvious snowflakes.
"Sister Lian." Zhiyao greeted.
"Good evening, Miss Kurosawa." Yuri followed with a greeting.
"Excuse me, hehe." Lian smiled quietly and gently brushed off the snowflakes on her head. "Wow, it's snowing heavily outside."
Zhiyao quickly took the person back to the room.
After entering the house, Lian took off her coat and scarf, and took the towel handed to her by Zhiyao to wipe her hair. During this time, Zhiyao secretly compared her with Xili, and immediately concluded that Lian was more beautiful and Xili had a better figure.
"What are you thinking about?" Xili asked suddenly.
"No." Zhiyao was calm.
"Really?" Xili obviously didn't believe it. Her intuition told her that there must be something fishy going on, so she reached out to Zhiyao.
This was when he was about to take a look, and Zhiyao dodged quickly.
Seeing this reaction, Xili immediately looked suspicious, certain that this person was thinking about something shameful, and reached out her hand again.
Seeing this, Zhiyao simply left his seat and hid behind Lian.
"You two are getting along better and better, huhu." Lian smiled as if it was a flower and teased in a humorous way.
Choking instantly, Xili quickly sat back down and flatly retorted, "Who's dating him? You don't know how disgusting he is."
In response, Zhiyao made a face at her.
Closer to home.
"Why don't you stay at home in this weather? Why do you come to my place?" Zhiyao asked.
"Something must have happened." Xili guessed.
"Actually, I came here specifically to see you two."
"Impossible." Zhiyao certainly didn't believe it. "Tell me, what's going on?"
Lian stopped beating around the bush and took out a videotape from her handbag and put it on the table. "This is something Youyu brought back from a friend out of town a while ago."
After picking up the videotape and watching it over and over again, Zhiyao put it back on the table and gave him a look to indicate that he should continue.
"This videotape actually has a great background..." Glancing around occasionally, Lian lay on the table with a mysterious look on her face.
Realizing that the situation was serious, Zhiyao and Xili slowly moved over and immediately heard Lian's deliberately lowered voice.
Two weeks ago, four students from a certain university died mysteriously, which attracted the attention of reporter Asakawa. After some investigation, Asakawa learned that their common point was that they had watched a videotape before their death, and all died seven days later.
This must be related to that videotape.
