I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"Maybe, maybe?" Zhiyao said indifferently, "But I can guarantee that nothing will happen to Xiao Wuhui."

Because the opponent is also Wuhui, Wuhui will only kill herself if she is desperate.

Chapter 20: [Kurosawa Ancient Capital]

There was no sign of Xiao Wuhui returning. While waiting, Shenhong shared the information with Zhiyao. After discussion, the two decided to go to the room with the talisman on the door and first try to destroy the talisman, and then try to find out the cause of the secret door malfunction.

If it can be repaired, it will definitely bring convenience to future actions.

On the way to the courtyard.

"Sikong, who is Wuhui?" Shenhong asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.

"Kirie is the evil spirit that lingers in the Himuro residence."

"Little Wuhui is also called Wuhui. Are they related?"

"One is good, the other is evil, a relationship of polar opposites." Zhiyao thought for a moment, then gave another earnest warning, "Wuhui is not on the same level as the evil spirits we dealt with before. If you accidentally encounter them, remember to run away first, and then fight if you can't escape."

Crimson nodded.

"Ah."

Hearing the undeniable tone in Zhiyao's voice, Shenhong remembered it firmly in his heart.

Why do you know this?

In fact, Shenhong really wanted to continue asking, but the reason she didn't ask was because ever since she knew Zhiyao's true feelings for her, she thought he was a pretty good guy, and her favorability towards him had a qualitative leap, reaching a whole new level. She thought, since Zhiyao wanted to deliberately hide things, he must have his reasons.

In this case, I will continue to wait patiently as he said, and let him tell me when the time is right.

They climbed the stairs to the fireplace room, opened the door to the second floor, and arrived at the lounge.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhiyao noticed the brazier placed in the middle.

"Why is there charcoal burning?" Zhiyao looked at Shenhong, her confusion obvious.

"I already had a fever when I came in." Shenhong replied slowly, "I heard someone talking inside earlier. Maybe my brother felt cold and ordered it to keep warm?"

"That's all nonsense, it's absolutely impossible!" Zhiyao changed his tone to a firm one.

"why?"

Because according to the game's plot, Mafuyu has been trapped in Kirie's body since she was captured, and should be in a state without self-awareness. How could such a Mafuyu possibly light a fire? It seems that some spirit must have felt cold...

It doesn’t seem right?

"Hinasaki, do you think Rei can make a fire to keep warm?"

"This..." Shen Hong couldn't come to a conclusion and could only give an ambiguous answer, "Maybe... or maybe not?"

"What's the difference between this and not saying anything?" Zhiyao complained helplessly and rolled her eyes.

The next moment, as an idea suddenly came to his mind, Zhiyao quickly walked towards the screen not far away, went around behind it, and started checking while shining a flashlight on the ground.

"What's wrong, Sikong?" Shenhong followed and asked.

Zhiyao didn't answer her, but gradually squatted down. Seeing this, Shenhong also began to follow suit and observed attentively.

until……

"Look." Crimson pointed to a certain place.

Zhiyao looked over and found the outline of a suspected footprint in the middle of a thick cloud of dust. He immediately went over and took a closer look with a flashlight. He immediately found that the footprint was not big, about the same size as the dark red shoes.

"Did you step on it?" He turned to face Crimson.

"I've never been there." Crimson said in a firm tone.

"But the footprints look fresh?"

Wait, could it be...

"Hinasaki, do you think spirits leave footprints?"

"I'm not sure, the possibility... shouldn't be high, right?" Shenhong was not very sure.

"Is it possible that..."

Although he felt the possibility was slim, Zhiyao still asked Shenhong, "Do you think there is a fourth living person here besides the two of us and your brother?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Shenhong was shocked.

"This..." Then Shen Hong asked back, "Sikong, what do you think?"

"Can't tell."

At least in his memory, there were no living people in the Himuro residence except the Hinasaki siblings, unless the plot had deviated from its original trajectory because of his arrival.

"How about we try shouting louder? My voice happens to be loud enough." Zhiyao thought about it and suggested.

"What if Wuhui is attracted here?" Shenhong expressed his worry.

Well, it looks like that's not going to work.

Finally, Crimson brings this topic to a close.

"Never mind all that for now, let's go take care of that door first, and we can deal with other things later."

……

Coming to the courtyard with cherry trees, Zhiyao finally felt relieved. Most of the scariest scenes in horror movies happen indoors, and people would feel much more relaxed when they go outdoors.

After wandering around the courtyard, Zhiyao's attention soon focused on the building on the left. Compared to many places whose memories were not so clear, this was the only place he still remembered clearly - the Moon Shrine.

Below the ancestral hall is the location where the rope-splitting ceremony is held, and further ahead is the Gate to the Underworld.

After brushing off the dust on the steps in front of the ancestral hall, Zhiyao slowly sat down, took out a cigarette box and lit a cigarette for himself.

The swirling gray haze dissipated, and Zhiyao tapped the back of his head lightly.

After being suppressed for so long, I finally feel much better.

"Do you still smoke?" Shenhong walked over slowly and asked with his head tilted.

Guessing vaguely what the girl would say next, Zhiyao simply blocked her mouth in advance, "Smoking is bad, your brother doesn't smoke, right?"

"Eh?"

Deep red was slightly startled.

"Let me tell you one more thing. I'm twenty years old this year, so I'm not prohibited by the law."

Crimson had nothing more to say.

In fact, she was just asking casually, and the other party was just being sentimental.

As the cigarette butt burned out, Zhiyao extinguished it, threw it on the ground, pressed it with her shoe and rubbed it repeatedly until the sparks were completely gone. Then, she and Shenhong came to the door with the talisman on it.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be this room." After saying that, Shen Hong added, "I also saw the woman in red clothes walk through the door."

"It's this talisman that's in the way, right?" Zhiyao pointed at the talisman without caring and was about to reach out his hand.

Then he shrank back suddenly because of the heat.

Seeing Shenhong couldn't help laughing, his face suddenly fell and he looked resentful.

"Why didn't you remind me?"

"Oh, I didn't think of it just now." Shenhong looked up at the sky.

"I think you did it on purpose." Zhiyao said without hesitation and knocked on Shenhong's head.

"Ouch." Shen Hong subconsciously covered her head, her cheeks slowly puffing up like an angry pufferfish. "If you hit me on the head again, I'll definitely hit you back."

"Just you? Can you beat me?" Zhiyao didn't care and was happy.

"If you have the guts, wait until I find my brother first. Then the two of us together will always be able to defeat you."

The fun ended and the conversation returned to the main topic.

"How do I solve it?" Zhiyao pointed at the talisman.

"I've encountered a similar situation once before." Shenhong roughly described the whole process.

"So now we have to find a place with a waterwheel, right?"

"OK."

"Then let's go." Just as he finished speaking and turned around, Zhiyao accidentally glanced at the knife on his waist, "Wait a minute, let me try another way."

After he finished speaking, he pulled out the knife and gently placed the tip of the knife against the talisman. The next second, as his hand pushed forward, the amber blade began to emit a brilliant golden light. The light then surged towards the surface of the talisman, spreading out in a circular shape like visible radio waves.

The deep red color was clearly visible, and one couldn't help but marvel at it.

After a moment, the talisman broke into pieces and fell to the ground. Zhiyao twisted the door handle with a little force and the door opened.

"I'm awesome, right? Hehe." Zhiyao raised his head slightly, with pride in his tone.

"It's the weapon that's powerful, not you." Shenhong poured a basin of cold water on him, and then looked at him with a smile.

"That's also my weapon!" Zhiyao emphasized.

"Didn't I steal it? How did it become yours?" Shenhong asked calmly.

Zhiyao was speechless.

In front of her was a room filled with many small dolls. As soon as she stepped through the door, Zhiyao was attracted by the large doll right in front of her.

"Do you think it looks like Kirie?" he said as he walked to the doll, bent down and put his face close to it.

But for some reason, the moment his eyes met the doll, he felt a panic from the inside out, so he took a big step back.

I can't remember where I saw the saying that dolls contain children's souls. In the original world, this is nonsense, but in this world where spirits really exist, it may be true.

What people can't stand the most is being frightened. Zhiyao thought to himself, why scare himself? He quickly shifted his gaze elsewhere. Who would have thought that when he moved to the right side where there were many small dolls on the display stand, a black spherical object caught his attention. He poked the object with the tip of the knife and took a closer look.

“Oh my god—!”

He was so scared that he almost fell to the ground. Shenhong heard the sound and looked over, and was also scared and screamed.

It was a human head.

Evil spirits can be adapted as one sees them more and more times, but this is not necessarily the case with something like a severed human head, which one may not see in real life in their lifetime. Coupled with the special environment of the Himuro residence, evil spirits are simply child's play for these two people.

"Let's go outside. It's so creepy here." Zhiyao decisively grabbed Shenhong's hand and dragged her out without saying anything.

Shenhong had the same intention, but when she realized the camera lens was emitting a blue light, she pulled her hand away and stayed to find the source of the anomaly. Since Shenhong was not leaving, Zhiyao naturally couldn't leave her here alone, so she also stayed.

Come to think of it, that head won't suddenly fly up and bite me, right?

Unconsciously, Zhiyao began to daydream again, and then pointed the knife at the head on the exhibition stand. At the same time, a clicking sound was heard in the direction of Shenhong.

"Found it. Look." Crimson pointed to a certain spot on the wall. "The photo shows a painting here. Maybe it's a key or something?"

"Where is the painting? Any further clues?"

Crimson racked his brains for a while, and finally said with great regret: "No, I have never seen it."

"I've seen that painting."

Suddenly, a sound like a wind chime came from the side. Zhiyao was almost scared to jump three feet, and subconsciously pulled out the knife.

As he pulled it out, although only for about a second, he still saw the white kimono with a cherry blossom pattern, and then the owner of the kimono stepped back and disappeared from his sight.

"Xiao, Xiao Wuhui...it's you. You scared me." Zhiyao held his chest, panting.

"Well, I just got rid of Wu Hui and was about to go back to find you two. I saw the door here was open and wondered if you two had broken the seal."

"I say, next time don't make any noise next to me, or you'll scare me to death." Zhiyao said earnestly with a stern face.

"I'm sorry." Xiao Wuhui lowered her head, her voice soft.

"Do you know where the painting that was originally hung here is now?" Shenhong interrupted the two and pointed at the wall.

"I'm not sure." Xiao Wuhui looked around. "Maybe someone took it away?"

At that moment, a thud-thud-thud sound came from behind the wall, coming closer and closer. Then came the sound of a door opening and closing. The interval between the two sounds was extremely short, and after analyzing them, they both came to the same conclusion: someone was running on the wooden floor, then running into the room to hide.
