I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"Ok?"

"I……"

"What's wrong?"

Throwing himself into Zhiyao's arms, Zehuo hugged her tightly, "I...suddenly don't want to leave. I want to stay by your side. Is that okay?"

Zhiyao was obviously not expecting this and was a little confused.

"Uh, what are you..."

"You're not afraid of the dead, and your life span won't be affected by the dead, so I was thinking, if possible, then..."

"Ah, this..." Zhiyao was a little embarrassed, "How should I tell you, I actually..."

"No one has ever been so kind to me. You know, Shiragiku volunteered to become a miko just to meet you again. She's been waiting since then, and finally got you. To be honest, I envy her, and I envy Kirie too."

Not knowing how to respond, Zhiyao slowly turned her eyes away, but her thoughts were transmitted into Pinghuo's mind bit by bit through touch and sight.

Then, Pinghuo smiled.

"It really still doesn't work? Okay, just treat it as something I said casually. Brother Sikong, don't take it to heart, because I'm different from Wu Hui and Bai Ju. I have neither a position nor a suitable identity."

"Ahaha." Zhiyao smiled embarrassedly.

"Brother Sikong, you know, I'm really happy that you can come and see me off. Even though we haven't met many times, I still want to say that it's great to know you."

Zhiyao hugged Zhehuo tightly back, "Actually, I'm also very happy and honored, really, I'm not lying to you, and I hope you can be completely free from the pain, instead of continuing to suffer the pain in your eyes and stay here."

"Well, then... let's say goodbye here forever. Goodbye..."

Zhiyao's heart trembled when he felt a cool and soft feeling on his face. He looked at Zhehuo in surprise and saw that Zhehuo's figure was becoming blurred.

He just stared blankly like that until the fire completely disappeared.

His arms suddenly felt empty. Zhiyao took a deep breath and sighed meaningfully. Although he didn't want Zhehuo to stay, he still felt a little uncomfortable and reluctant to see Zhehuo disappear before his eyes.

"Are you reluctant?" Suzuka couldn't help laughing, and her hand gently fell on Zhiyao's shoulder, "Who told you not to agree, hmm."

"What are you talking about?" Zhiyao was speechless and rolled her eyes. "Separation is already very painful, and you don't even allow me to feel sad."

"I don't really feel anything anymore, eh—" Suzuka sighed, "All the people I knew have long since left, and I'm only a remnant of my soul left here."

"What about Ah Xiu? Do you think it doesn't matter to you?" Zhiyao reminded.

"She's living a happy life, and with the equally immortal Wuming always by her side, she'll never feel lonely. I can rest assured."

"If it comes to immortality, then so am I. Hehe, I will accompany her too."

Hearing this, Suzuka's lips curled up beautifully, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Zhiyao became ambiguous: "Yeah, maybe you two can become a couple and have a child that is one-quarter monster."

Zhiyao couldn't help but blush and pushed Suzuka away.

"roll roll roll."

Turning to Bai Ju, Zhi Yao held Bai Ju's face and said, "Do you want to go to the other side of the door? You can find eternal peace there."

"I don't want to." Bai Ju said calmly, her eyes firm, "I'm happiest when I'm with my husband. Even if I have to go, I have to go with him."

The answer was satisfactory. Zhiyao kissed Baiju hard on the face, then turned to Wuhui who was hanging on the gate of the underworld.

"Kirie, what about you?"

Her eyes shifted to the ceiling, and Wuhui didn't reply.

"Answer quickly." Zhiyao urged.

"Then put your ear close to me and I'll tell you quietly."

Zhiyao immediately did as she was told, stood on the big rock, put her ear close to it, and then was kissed on the cheek by Wuhui.

Wuhui: “That’s the answer.”

(PS: Let me post this first)

Chapter 173: [A Sense of Deja Vu]

Time flies, and May is here in the blink of an eye. Due to its geographical location, this city gets hotter earlier than other places, so Zhiyao changed into short sleeves at the beginning of the month.

Of course, that was outside. Inside the house he would change back into long sleeves and even add a coat.

The reason is that there are three people in the house: Baiju, Bobingdie, and Yaoboji.

White chrysanthemums and thin ice butterflies release cold air to lower the room temperature, while Yaoboji increases the humidity of the air. When the above two are combined together, the effect is simply too refreshing.

Plus, Sadako often comes over to play every now and then...

Sometimes, Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh that it was a good thing that she had the fire guardian spirit Jiuwei to neutralize the temperature and humidity, otherwise the cold and damp house would have been uninhabitable.

……

During Thursday's lunch break, Zhiyao was holding a photo album and flipping through it with great interest.

"This was the time when we went to see the cherry blossoms." Kirie stretched out her finger and pointed at a certain photo.

"Yeah." Zhiyao smiled, her eyes full of aftertaste, "You went too."

"Even if I went, it's the same as not going at all." Wu Hui said with a lack of interest, "I wasn't even captured by the camera. I didn't get to be included in the photo."

Zhiyao was helpless: "How can an ordinary camera possibly capture you? Besides..." He said with a humorous expression, turning his head away, "If I really captured you in the picture, wouldn't it become a supernatural photo?"

Being ridiculed, Wuhui hummed indifferently and sighed, "What's wrong with the ghost photos? I'm not like Sadako who attacks people everywhere."

"It's definitely not because of this." Bai Ju's voice rang out, "Brother Sikong doesn't want more people to know about your existence, because that would attract nosy exorcists."

After saying this, Bai Ju turned to Zhi Yao.

"Am I right?"

"Yes, that's absolutely right." Zhiyao rubbed Baiju's head, "Baiju has always been very cautious."

“Because I’m afraid of separation.”

"Don't worry, that day will never come." With a firm gaze, Zhiyao made the promise solemnly.

Baiju has heard such words countless times, but even so, her heart is as sweet as ever, as if it were filled with honey.

"Hey, hey, let's be together forever."

With a sweet smile, Bai Ju threw herself into Zhiyao's arms and hugged her tightly. Then, as Zhiyao's arms were wrapped around her back, she closed her eyes, her expression filled with happiness.

"Sikong, I want a hug too." Wuhui was unwilling to be left behind.

"No problem, we'll go to Yazhiyuan in the afternoon." Zhiyao replied immediately.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hui changed the subject: "Ah, I was just talking casually, there's no need to go all the way."

"That's not the reason." Zhiyao said, "It's because I want to hug you."

Wuhui's face suddenly turned red and her eyes became misty.

The album was turned to the next page, and this time a graceful girl appeared. She was wearing a school uniform and standing at the school gate with a quiet smile on her face.

"It's the crimson graduation photo." It was Wuhui who spoke first again.

"She looks very happy," Baiju commented.

"Because the person standing next to him is important." Kirie moved her fingertips towards the man in white next to her. "Come to think of it, this guy was also a man who made my heart flutter in his previous life. When he showed up at Himuro's residence, I was so happy."

After hearing the last few sentences, Zhiyao glanced at Wuhui's face and snorted in disapproval.

Noticing this, Wuhui couldn't help laughing.

Just as he was about to continue, he was interrupted by Bai Ju.

"You can't, that's totally unlike me." Bai Ju raised the corner of her mouth with a proud smile, "I have never been moved by anyone except Brother Sikong."

"So you're weird."

"Strange?" Bai Ju was puzzled. "What's strange about it?"

"Because it doesn't fit the original plot." Kirie explained and reminded, "According to the original plot, my official pairings are Asanuma and Hinasaki Manfuyu, and your official pairing is Aso. The reason you went to Higami Mountain to become a shrine maiden was so that you could be with Aso forever."

"Impossible." Bai Ju retorted resolutely, his eyes widening slightly, "I don't have any feelings for Aso."

"That's under normal circumstances."

"I don't care what's normal or not." Bai Ju's voice rose a little, "Anyway, I won't be attracted to anyone other than Brother Sikong!"

Baiju seemed a little unhappy, and Wuhui was speechless and a little helpless.

Because she could probably guess why Bai Ju was unhappy - the words just now made Zhiyao feel resentful.

But she felt that she was actually quite wronged.

Because she didn't finish her words.

Turning her gaze towards the ceiling, Wu Hui sighed and narrated the following content: "Those were before I met Si Kong. After they met, he gradually replaced Qian Nan. If I were to choose between the two now, I would choose Si Kong without hesitation."

"There's no need to be like this." Zhiyao sighed, "I'm not that stingy."

"I don't know whether you have it or not, I only know that Baiju is very unhappy." Wuhui curled her lips, her face full of innocence, "The reason she is unhappy is because of you."

Instantly, Zhiyao was extremely embarrassed: "Uh, Baiju, you don't have to be like this, really."

"I don't want you to be unhappy at all." Bai Ju said bluntly.

"Thank you, darling."

Hearing this, Bai Ju raised her head slightly and pointed at her lips. This was already a clear indication, and Zhi Yao held her face without saying a word and slowly kissed her.

Just at this moment, Gu Du's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Sikong, are you there?"

Because all his attention was on Baiju, Zhiyao was startled when the voice appeared. He used his eyes to signal Wuhui and Baiju to hide quickly, then slowly stood up and went to open the door.

"What's wrong?"

"Someone called." Gudu said.

"Who?"

"I asked, but she didn't tell me. She also told you to hurry up and answer the phone."

At this point, Zhiyao had basically guessed who it was. He first deliberately yawned, then replied in a nonchalant tone: "Go tell that guy, just say that Mr. Sikong is busy. If you have anything to say, come over in person tonight. And don't forget to bring a gift."

"Ah, she's already guessed what you said. She even asked me to tell you that if you don't answer, she'll definitely bring you a big gift in the evening."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyao shuddered reflexively and followed Gudu obediently to answer the phone.

——"What's up, Miss Fujisaki?"

——"What? There's a new dim sum shop that just opened. I'll go and queue up for you."

——"Do you think I have lots of free time?"

"Oh, you have to be on duty and on patrol, so you're using my time. I happen to be off today... Wait, how did you know that?"

——"I say, you are already hundreds of years old, aren't you afraid of your teeth getting sticky when you eat sweets?"

In short, under the unreasonable half-request and half-command of the beautiful Fujisaki, also known as Wuming, the honest man Sikong Zhiyao obediently followed the instructions and went to the designated location to line up.

After finishing the queue, he personally delivered the things to Wuming. When he returned home after shopping in the mall and having dinner, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. When he returned to the room, he found a paper box on the table. When he opened it, he saw a piece of chocolate cake inside.

Where did it come from? Zhiyao couldn't help but wonder, thinking that maybe Xili bought it.

When he found that Xili was not in the next room, he guessed that it was bought by Gudu, so he decided to wait for Xili to come back and share it together.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon the next day, and Zhiyao was once again called by Gudu to answer the phone.

This time it was Crimson calling.

Just like in the game, after graduation, Shenhong went to work as an assistant to Kurosawa Rei, helping with work matters; unlike in the game, Shenhong did not live with Kurosawa Rei and had to go home every night unless required by work.

In addition, every time they met, Shenhong was energetic and refreshed, which made Zhiyao extremely pleased.

This is what he expected Crimson to look like.

He likes this kind of deep red.

"Shenhong, what's the matter?" Zhiyao picked up the microphone and spoke first.

"Sikong, long time no see."

"Come to think of it, it's been a while since we last met. What's the matter? Do you miss my voice and call me just to reminisce?" Zhiyao teased.
