I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"Sikong, you're really going too far." Yumo leaned forward, her face slowly moving closer to where she was about to kiss Zhiyao. "You moved here without telling me, and you even made me come to find you in person."

"Uh uh uh." Zhiyao leaned back subconsciously, then cleared her throat again, "I was planning to visit you tomorrow night and tell you about this."

At this time, Kirie and Shiragiku, who sensed the movement, also opened their eyes one after another.

"Hey, Sister Shuiyun?" Bai Ju stood up while rubbing her eyes.

"Why are you here?" Wuhui yawned, shaking her head occasionally, "Is it already dawn?"

"No, it's the middle of the night and it's dark outside." Shui Yun replied, and apologized embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to bother you at this time."

"Mainly because I was afraid of being discovered, I chose to come in the second half of the night," Tamamo explained.

"But how did you guys..." Zhiyao wanted to ask how they knew that she moved here, but when she saw Jiuwei, she immediately knew what was going on.

Apparently, he learned it from Kyuubi.

Closer to home.

"What are you two doing here?" Zhiyao asked, "Are you coming here just to see me?"

"I just came to see you." Shui Yun answered honestly, "Long time no see, Mr. Sikong."

"Not long, huh?" Zhiyao scratched his head. "It seems like it hasn't even been half a month since we last met."

"But I hope to see you anytime and anywhere."

Zhiyao felt a little embarrassed when someone suddenly said sweet words to her, and smiled slightly in embarrassment.

"Si————Kong——" Yumozuo hugged Zhiyao's arm and leaned close to him affectionately, "Can I live here too in the future?"

"No." Zhiyao pulled her hand away and replied indifferently, "I'm afraid you'll steal the spirit stone."

Instantly, Tamamo's face fell, and she pursed her pink lips in anger: "How could you think of me like this? Do you think I am so terrible in your eyes?"

"Then why do you want to stay? Could it be that you like me?"

"That's right, I like you, isn't it okay?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhiyao didn't know how to respond and simply looked away.

After a while.

"Do you want to move in and live with us?" Zhiyao asked Shuiyun solemnly.

Shui Yun immediately dismissed the idea: "Well, although I really want to... forget it. The correction is still ongoing. Tamamo also said that it's best to avoid seeing humans during this period. So, let's just meet once a month for now."

"Is that so..." Zhiyao sighed with great regret and lack of interest.

"For the sake of future happiness, I must be patient now."

Her tone was so resolute that Zhiyao suddenly felt she was very charming.

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"Well, that's it for today." Shui Yun smiled awkwardly and slowly stood up. "We'll go back first. Mr. Sikong, you can continue to rest."

"Are you leaving so soon?" Zhiyao tried to stop him.

"You must get a good rest in order not to delay work tomorrow." Tamamo reminded slowly, "Didn't you find a job as a cashier at a convenience store in town?"

Zhiyao then glanced at him, her voice filled with helplessness: "Could you please stop looking at me all the time?"

"Do you mind? In that case..." Tamamo pursed her lips, revealing a charming yet cute smile, "I might as well compensate you, hmm."

Before Zhiyao could ask how to compensate her, Yumao suddenly left a lip mark on his cheek.

Zhiyao looked at her in surprise, not expecting anything. Then she stood up calmly and said, "I'm going back too, Sikong. I look forward to seeing you next time. By the way, you have to hide the spirit stone well. If you're not careful, it might be stolen one day."

At the same time, he waved over here, and the two monsters left from between the dolls. Zhiyao originally planned to go out and send them off for a while, but it was still troublesome to put on pants, so he didn't get up and huddled back into the quilt.

"Aren't you going over?" Zhiyao asked casually when she saw Jiuwei didn't go with the other two.

【No】

Kyuubi yawned and curled up on the ground.

[Just put half of your body over there]

So Zhiyao stopped asking questions and closed her eyes. Over time, her consciousness became distracted.

……

The next evening, when Zhiyao returned to the side door of Xingshiro Shrine, he saw a huge black pillar waiting there.

"Yo."

He was the first to say hello.

As the voice fell, Fengshi walked towards him.

"Are you here so early?" Zhiyao asked casually.

"Waiting for your return."

"Hey, are you waiting for me?" Zhiyao pretended to be surprised and showed an exaggerated expression.

"Yeah, I want to stay with you guys."

After hearing this, Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh that Fengshi was indeed the easiest boss to get along with among the series.

Because compared to the controlled Kirie, Saeki who slaughtered all the villagers, and Kuze Reika who was dominated by anger, Ouse is the only one with a clear self-awareness.

To the extent that Zhiyao firmly believed that even if she accidentally encountered one, as long as she didn't take the initiative to provoke him, basically nothing would happen.

Of course, this does not include lucky people like Xili who have the qualifications to be a pillar.

"How long have you been waiting?" Zhiyao asked.

"Not long, just a short while."

"In that case, let's go sit inside first." During the conversation, Zhiyao took out a box of playing cards from his pocket, "I bought the things, I'll teach you later."

When people are immersed in something, time always passes very quickly. When Zhiyao accidentally picked up her watch to check the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

The bedtime was set at eleven o'clock, so Zhiyao put down the cards in his hand.

Without waiting for him to speak, Fengshi understood what he meant.

"I'll go back first. Thank you all for your company." Feng Shi said, stood up and walked towards the door. Under his usually unchanging expression, the corners of his lips were slightly raised.

She had a very happy day today, and even if it was only for a few hours, she was very satisfied.

Zhiyao followed him and the two of them went outside.

"Remember to come over tomorrow night, Fengshi."

"Will do."

Looking at Fengshi's profile, Zhiyao didn't know whether it was because she was used to it or for some other reason, but at that moment, she vaguely felt that he didn't seem so creepy anymore.

"What's wrong?" Feng Shi glanced at him.

"Ah, no..." Zhiyao smiled sheepishly, and after pondering for a few seconds, she answered truthfully, "Let me tell you, although I said I didn't mind last night, I actually thought you looked a little creepy earlier, but now it's really nothing."

"Really?" Feng Shi stopped and said, "You adapt really quickly."

"Because your foundation is not bad to begin with. Come to think of it, I still have your photos."

"Well."

"But I can't give it back to you. I have to keep it."

"Why?" Fengshi was puzzled.

"Because I found it outside, and I was wondering why I found it outside."

"I don't know."

Zhiyao pondered for a moment, then offered her analysis: "If I'm not mistaken, it was most likely left there on purpose by those two old ladies, Kuangnu and Jienu."

Fengshi was even more confused.

"Why would they do this?"

"Lure the man to form a soul bond with you, so you can last longer."

"Is that right?"

"High probability."

The voice fell, and the two fell silent.

a long time.

"You are so kind, Sikong." Feng Shi was the first to speak. "You know I will deny the groom no matter who he is. I am doing this to prevent others from dying."

"Thank you for the compliment." Zhiyao scratched his scalp and smiled embarrassedly.

"Last night, Kirie said you were from another world and that you knew most of the things about me and this mountain. So... do you know anything else?"

"What do you want to ask?"

So Fengshi blinked and looked at Zhiyao with extremely focused eyes.

"Tell me, did that man ever come back?"

Having anticipated this question, Zhiyao answered calmly, "Yes, I came back at the beginning of this year."

Just like a drowning person seeing a lifebuoy, a spark of hope ignited in Fengshi's eyes when he heard these words.

Little did I know the next sentence.

"But I'm not here to see you. I'm here to fulfill a childhood promise."

Next, Zhiyao narrated the whole story in full, like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube. During the whole process, Fengshi was extremely focused until the story was finished.

"So this kind of thing actually happened." Feng Shi sighed meaningfully, "It's good that we fulfilled our childhood promise."

For some reason, Fengshi's tone gave Zhiyao an inexplicable sense of sadness, which made her feel uncomfortable.

"Uh, Fengshi."

He tried to respond, but Feng Shi turned a deaf ear to him.

"I've fulfilled my childhood promise, died of old age, and most likely won't die alone. That's great. This way, I won't have any regrets in my life. It's great."

"Fengshi, listen to me."

But Fengshi acted as if he didn't hear anything and continued talking to himself.

"When I accidentally touched him, I knew his feelings, and I was moved too. I wanted to live with him, but this was an almost impossible wish, so I wanted to at least hear him say it." Feng Shi raised his palms and stared at his palms. "But I knew very well that even this was doomed to fail. That man would not come back, so I could only force myself to control my emotions and devote myself to the upcoming Great Pillar Crowning Ceremony. Later, as the coffin lid closed and it was so dark that I could no longer see anything, I finally couldn't hold back my emotions anymore. I cried non-stop inside, crying until I almost melted. During this time, I was also thinking about some things."

After a pause, Feng Shi continued:

"This profession exists to make those who choose to end their lives feel less lonely when they die, so that they know someone is sharing their pain. The small pillars carry the emotions of ordinary people, and after they disintegrate, their emotions will eventually be passed on to me, the big pillar. But in the end, who will carry my emotions? Who can accept me?"

After sighing softly, Fengshi said no more and continued walking towards the Palace of You.

Behind him, Zhiyao stared at the dark figure that was gradually moving away, feeling more and more depressed.

Chapter 188: [Solving the problem from the root]

"Brother Sikong, Brother Sikong."

A sweet voice came to her ears. When Zhiyao opened her eyes, she saw Baiju sitting next to her.

He sat up slowly, yawning as he did so.

"what time is it?"

"It's almost dark." Bai Ju replied, moving forward and throwing herself into Zhiyao's arms, "Brother Sikong, I've been waiting for you to wake up."

In an instant, Zhiyao felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on her, and her head shuddered.

"It's dark?!" He widened his eyes in disbelief. "I actually just woke up now?!"

"Yes." Bai Ju nodded.

Pushing Bai Ju away from her arms, Zhi Yao hurriedly stood up and said, "It's over, it's over. I didn't go to work today and didn't ask for leave. It will be considered as absenteeism."

At this moment, the door of the puppet room was pushed open, and a long-haired woman came in.
