I, enter the zero world, change the ending

Even though it was an evil spirit that killed my companion, if I die prematurely from food poisoning after eating this...

She didn't want to be charged with murder.

But... it seems there is no other way, so I can only try my best to save the situation.

As she was about to return the same way, the door behind the fence on her left caught Crimson's attention. She turned her head and saw the figure of the woman in red. Just like last time, the woman in red walked through, and there was also a talisman on the door.

Xiao Wuhui said there was a shortcut. Wait, could it be this room?

It just so happened that the talisman she mentioned was also pasted on the door.

If I could destroy the talisman, go in to find out the cause of the secret door malfunction and repair it, wouldn't I be able to return to my companions immediately?

Thinking of this, Shenhong pressed the shutter button towards the talisman, and then a waterwheel appeared in the photo, with the woman in red who had been seen several times tied to it.

Waterwheel...

It should be something outside. Which direction should it be? Shenhong pondered while chewing. After a while, unable to think of a place and delayed, she had no choice but to run back along the same route as she had come. Five minutes later, she returned to the original room.

At this time, Xiao Wuhui was sitting next to Zhiyao with her hands on her face. When she saw Shenhong coming back with the bottle in her hand, Xiao Wuhui immediately stood up and gave up her seat.

Holding her breath to block out the suffocating stench, Shenhong pinched the BB-sized black pill with her fingernail and stuffed it into Zhiyao's mouth, then held it in his throat to help him swallow it. Another long wait followed, and Shenhong's heart grew more anxious with each passing minute.

It was not until nearly ten minutes later, with the sound of a slight cough, that Shenhong finally felt relieved and was so excited that she almost cried for joy.

"I... Hinasaki, how long have I been sleeping?" Having just come out of the near-death state, Zhiyao felt his limbs were weak and he couldn't stand up at all.

"You almost died just now." Shenhong helped him up and rubbed his slightly red eyes.

Zhiyao was suddenly stunned, so surprised that she felt like a light bulb could be stuffed into her mouth.

"No way, why don't I feel anything?!" Noticing the bitterness remaining in his mouth, Zhiyao blew on his palms, and when he smelled it again, he almost vomited.

"Did you put something in my mouth?"

"Of course, it's the Manyomaru you've been looking for." Crimson nodded in acknowledgement.

Zhiyao was shocked.

There actually is Manyomaru. Wait, could it be that the Divine Water and Mirror Stone are also...

He guessed correctly. The Imperial Divine Water did exist, but like the Manyomaru, only one was left, and it had been consumed by the white-haired middle-aged man some time ago. He later learned this from Xiao Wuhui. Upon hearing this news, he immediately went through Gao Feng Zhunsing's entire ancestry, especially his female relatives.

As for the mirror stone, Xiao Wuhui said she had never heard of it.

"Where did you find it?" Shocked, Zhiyao asked the question that concerned her most.

"Xiao Wuhui told me." Shenhong answered truthfully.

"Kirie-chan?!"

Hearing Xiao Wuhui, Zhiyao immediately looked around and asked anxiously: "Where is she? Where is she now?!"

"Right next to you." Crimson pointed to the side.

Zhiyao drew out his knife without saying a word, ready to use the light of the knife to make Xiao Wuhui appear. Unfortunately, as soon as he raised the knife, Xiao Wuhui retreated several meters away like a frightened bird.

Seeing this, Shenhong snatched the knife without saying a word and put it back into the sheath.

"Don't do this, she's scared."

"But I want to see her..." Zhiyao responded unwillingly.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

In front, Xiao Wuhui returned to Zhiyao again.

Noticing that Shenhong was staring at nothing in front of her, Zhiyao slowly stretched out her hand and said, "Xiao Wuhui, if possible, can you let me feel your presence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, his palms were immediately wrapped in a cold feeling.

Chapter 19: [Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't]

Xiao Wuhui actually responded to him. Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised and his brows relaxed softly.

"Can you say something? I want to confirm something." Next, Zhiyao made a second request.

As soon as the words fell, a feedback sound came from the empty space in front.

"Ah."

Zhiyao was pleasantly surprised that she could actually hear it, and was happier than if she had won the lottery jackpot.

"What are you doing?" Shenhong was puzzled and expressed his doubts.

"To confirm the situation. I can't see spirits, but they really exist, so I want to try to see if I can hear any voices."

"You can hear the sound, and then what?" Crimson continued to ask.

"Then I can communicate with them." Zhiyao rubbed his nose, his expression bright.

Shenhong couldn't understand why she wanted to communicate with spirits. In Shenhong's opinion, being able to see spirits was a very bad thing, and it was precisely because of this ability that she was isolated.

"Although I don't want to pour cold water on you, I still suggest you be cautious." Shenhong reminded silently.

Shenhong originally wanted to say directly that this was not a good thing, but considering Xiao Wuhui's feelings, she did not say it directly.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be cautious. At least there won't be any problem communicating with Xiao Wuhui, right?" Zhiyao asserted confidently.

As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Wuhui sat down next to him and stared into his eyes thoughtfully.

To be honest, this is the first time in history that I have encountered a human being who holds this kind of idea.

Noticing that the cool feeling enveloping her palms had disappeared, Zhiyao quickly asked Shenhong, "Hinasaki, is Kirie still here?"

"Yes, I'm sitting on your left, next to your body."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyao raised his left palm, kept adjusting the position of his palm while it was suspended in the air, his eyes fixed on the blank space next to him. Finally, when his palm fell, it landed right on top of Xiao Wuhui's head. It was such a coincidence that it was breathtaking.

"Well."

Xiao Wuhui looked upwards, then timidly shrank her neck.

Convinced that the cool touch on his palm was not an illusion, Zhiyao began to brag openly, "Hinasaki, I touched Kirie's head, even without seeing. How is it? Isn't it amazing?"

"Indeed, it's really amazing..." Shen Hong swallowed her saliva, admiring her from the bottom of her heart. Then she put on a serious expression, "Si Kong, how did you get to know Xiao Wu Hui?"

Xiao Wuhui happened to have the same question about this, and immediately cast a curious look.

No one spoke after that, and the room was as quiet as the dark seabed.

Suddenly, Xiao Wuhui turned her head in a certain direction and her brows were instantly furrowed. Seeing Xiao Wuhui's reaction, Shenhong felt that the situation was serious, so he quickly stood up and picked up the camera to be alert.

"Wuhui is coming this way!" said little Wuhui, her expression becoming more and more solemn.

"Kiribei?"

A confused expression appeared on Shenhong's face, and Zhiyao next to him trembled uncontrollably, his eyes becoming extremely frightened.

Kirie is the boss of Himuro's residence. Throughout the game, she repeatedly puts Crimson on the brink of death, with cameras having little effect on her. In the end, she even uses her immense power to overload the camera's energy, shattering it into pieces. Fortunately, Crimson has collected four fragments of the Imperial Mirror, and with the last fragment found in the broken camera, she finally defeats it with the help of Kirie's guidance, inserting all five fragments into the designated locations.

Zhiyao certainly believed that Chu Yeshi's knife was no less powerful than Yu Shenjing and could also kill Wuhui, but as the saying goes, it is the weapon that is powerful, not the person who uses the weapon. He had no confidence in facing Wuhui head-on and winning in the end, not to mention that he had died once not long ago.

"You two, find a place to hide!"

Wuhui was getting closer and closer to this side, and the situation was imminent. Little Wuhui hurriedly told the two to turn off the flashlights, and while keeping an eye on Wuhui's movements, she led the two to the next door room and instructed them to hide in the closet.

"I'm going to lead her away now. Remember to close the door tightly, don't turn on the lights, don't talk, and try not to make any noise. No matter how curious you are about what's happening outside, don't act rashly. Stay in the closet for at least ten minutes. Once it's completely quiet outside, wait another two or three minutes to make sure there's nothing unusual before coming out.

After giving the instructions, Xiao Wuhui helped to close the closet door. The already dim and dark environment became so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. With the creaking sound of the closet door being pushed and then closing, the two thought that Xiao Wuhui had left, so they tensed up and dared not breathe too hard.

Five minutes passed and there was no movement outside the closet.

Ten minutes passed and there was still no movement outside. Shenhong thought about opening the door a crack to see what was going on.

As a result, just as she was about to open the door, the adult man's last experience in his life emerged in her mind, causing Shenhong to give up the idea of ​​peeping.

She thought, to be on the safe side, she should wait another five or ten minutes.

And so another five minutes passed.

Maintaining the same posture for a long time was stressful, and the closet was small and dark, making Shenhong feel uncomfortable. She changed her posture and subconsciously moved her body inward. Then she felt something that looked like an arm touching her back. Zhiyao felt uncomfortable as well. When he found something touching his hand, he subconsciously raised it up. However, he never expected that when he put it down again, it would wrap around Shenhong's body. In other words, he accidentally hugged Shenhong.

Eh? !

Suddenly realizing what was happening, Shenhong was startled and almost made a sound, but the next second she had no time to worry about it, because the scene in front of her changed to something else, and switched to other scenes from time to time. The only thing that remained unchanged was Sikong Zhiyao, and Shenhong discovered that she could hear his voice.

Park lounge chair————"The gears of fate have begun to turn, and I must hurry."

At the school gate————"It's great that Hinasaki-chan is still here."

Near my home————"Great, it looks like I won't be going out today."

My brother's workplace————"Damn, why aren't Aso Yuu and Kurosawa Rei here?"

At the policewoman's house————"This is... With this, everything should be fine."

In front of the convenience store————"Stealing a knife and a bicycle, I'm afraid I'll really go to jail, but it doesn't matter. As long as I can change her fate, jail time is nothing."

On the bike ride————"Hinasaki-chan, I'll be with you soon, wait for me."

The gate of Himuro's residence————"I'm still a little scared, but I have to go in. I'm the only one who can change her fate."

At the end of the picture, there is a horizontal scene with an orange sunset hanging overhead. Zhiyao is stepping on the water, and there is a woman in a white top not far in front.

"This time, I will definitely stop that from happening, and then I won't have to watch you disappear again."

As Zhiyao got closer and closer to the woman in white, Shenhong, as an observer, felt more and more that the woman in white looked familiar. When Zhiyao came behind the woman in white and stretched out his hand towards her, the woman in white turned around.

She is……

The next moment, everything around disappeared, and Shenhong returned to the pitch-black darkness again. Her abdomen still felt the touch of arms around it. Shenhong suddenly woke up and thought to herself that she had returned to the real world.

Those were Sikong's memories... The last woman was...

Yourself?

Sikong said that he would not just watch himself disappear, but would also rewrite his own destiny?

What does this mean?

Could it be that he meant that he would encounter an accident during this trip to Bingshi Residence, and Sikong followed him to avoid that outcome? This would explain why he seemed to be well prepared. But why did Sikong know in advance that he was coming to Bingshi Residence? Moreover, the temperament of the woman in white revealed a motherly gentleness, at least different from his current self. In other words, could that be his future self?

Shenhong thought he had solved one problem, but he didn't expect that there would be more and more mysteries.

Her mind was in a mess. Shenhong turned her head and looked behind her. Her eyes met Zhiyao's unconsciously. Then, unconsciously, a satisfied arc appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Yes, there are many mysteries, but at least she figured out one thing: Sikong came to Bingshi Mansion specifically for her.

The observer can feel the various emotions of the person being observed, and through the observation just now, Shenhong felt the anxiety from the other side.

The determination to move forward even though he knew there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, and the persistence that was purely out of wishing her the best, without any ulterior motives.

Come to think of it, this is the first time I've felt this from someone other than my brother.

The feeling is really hard to describe.

There was silence for a while, and another ten minutes passed. It should be okay to go out quickly now. Shenhong gently broke free from the embrace and left the closet first. After landing, she stopped Zhiyao who was about to follow her out, looked around cautiously, and allowed the other party to leave the closet only after confirming again and again that it was safe.

Sikong once said that she was his eyes. Shenhong thought that in order to repay his kindness, she should perform her job well.

"Sikong."

"what?"

"You..." Shenhong hesitated to speak.

"Say something quickly."

As a result, Shenhong turned around on the spot, turned half of her face to the side, and said something with a smile.

"Confidential."

"Hey, hey, hey, you just want to tease me and run away, right? Do you know that this behavior is immoral?" Zhiyao protested.

"Don't you always treat me like that, huh?" Crimson winked cunningly and snorted indifferently.

"So you're taking revenge, huh?"

"I'm happy to take revenge. What can you do? If you have the guts, we can act separately."

The Himuro Residence is located at the junction of the real world and the underworld. The evil spirits wandering inside make every breath of the air in the mansion contain endless murderous intent. Living people feel terrified just by being in it. However, at this moment, what flows into Shenhong's heart is a refreshing warmth.

"It's been so long. I wonder where Wuhui is. Is she safe?" Shenhong looked at the door leading outside, her eyes full of worry. "I hope she's okay. Speaking of which, will spirits attack each other?"
