I, enter the zero world, change the ending

Zhiyao smiled embarrassedly.

"To tell you the truth, I'm not actually from here."

"What about your home phone number? If it's inconvenient for you to tell me your address, can you at least give me your phone number?"

"Well, how should I put it... My situation is more complicated than you think. Anyway..."

The man refused in every possible way, so that in an instant, the girl's eyes were filled with disappointment.

"Can't you really tell me?" Not wanting to give up just like that, Mizukage Shizuku asked again.

"That's not the reason. The main reason is that even if I were there, I don't have a fixed residence. I did have one before, but then..."

After a while, the girl, who still couldn't get what she wanted, had regrets in her eyes. "Okay, anyway, I've given you my contact information. If you come here in the future, remember to call me if possible."

Zhiyao nodded.

"know."

Then he stepped forward and gently grabbed Mizukage Shizuku's shoulders with both hands.

"Shizuku."

"Eh."

"Don't go to Rishang Mountain anymore."

"But……"

"Listen to me, okay? This is for your own good." Zhiyao advised earnestly, "I know why you went to that place. Although your starting point was good, I'm sure you saw what you encountered today. The reason you are fine is just because you were lucky enough to meet me today."

And it was a coincidence that I met you at the last moment when I was about to meet with an accident and become a ghost of Rishang Mountain that only appears on rainy days. The reason why I met you was purely because I suddenly wanted to find you on a whim.

In short, it was really a coincidence and a mistake.

————The above sentences were what Zhiyao kept repeating in his heart.

"Well..." Slowly, a faint pink color appeared on Mizukage Shizuku's cheeks. "Are you worried about me?"

"Isn't it?" Zhiyao asked back.

After she finished speaking, Mizukyou's gaze began to become hazy.

"Since you said so, then... okay, I'll listen to you."

Zhiyao felt immediately relieved.

"If you promise, you must do it. And your thoughts have been successfully delivered to the souls in the mountains. They are very pleased, really."

"How do you know?" Mizukage Shizuku expressed curiosity.

"Because I know it, and I've done the same thing before, and the results are definitely better than yours."

"How did you do it?" Mizukage Shizuku asked hurriedly.

Zhiyao gently raised her index finger and moved it in front of her lips.

"Confidential."

……

When Zhiyao returned to the scene of the incident on Rishang Mountain, he saw the dark witch waiting there.

"You're back, Sikong." Seeing Zhiyao, Fengshi slowly came forward.

Zhiyao glanced at the young man's body and went straight to the point, "Is this guy awake?"

Fengshi shook his head.

"Usually it's not this fast," Wuhui, who had just separated from Zhiyao's body, interjected. "The worst-case scenario is that she'll be like Lingyin, waking up after a hundred years."

"Get lost." Zhiyao rolled her eyes at her. "Can you please stop being such a pessimist?"

Then he turned his gaze to Reizei Kirika who was standing in a daze not far away.

"Come to think of it, I really have to thank her." Zhiyao occasionally glanced at the three people beside him and slowly walked towards Lengquan Wuxiang.

His lips were slightly open, his eyes were empty, and there was a large, shocking scarlet bloodstain from his neck to his shoulders. In the game, Lengquan Wuxiang gave Zhiyao a terrifying feeling, but perhaps because it helped him, at this moment, Zhiyao unexpectedly felt that the look was a bit cute.

In order to eliminate the hidden danger, Feng Shi stepped forward and took the knife from Reizen Wuxiang's hand.

Reizumi Kirika stared blankly at the dark witch, and then Zhiyao's hand gently pressed on her head.

"Thank you, my little cutie, you've done a great thing for me." Zhiyao said as she rubbed.

Lengquan Wuxiang blinked in confusion, and the next second she suddenly raised her hand and pointed behind Zhiyao. Zhiyao looked over and found a thin and faint human figure right above the young man's body.

"He's awake!" Bai Ju's voice was extremely excited.

Zhiyao was also overjoyed.

"Very good, it's really great!"

With a proud smile, he stretched out his hands forward.

"Eight hundred."

Yaoboji revealed herself and wiped out the spiritual power-suppressing rune on his wrist without any explanation.

"White chrysanthemum, fog paint."

Shiragiku and Kirie immediately entered his body, so that in an instant, huge fluctuations of spiritual power appeared and disappeared on the surface of his skin.

Next, he began to prepare himself and slowly walked towards the young man's soul.

Go to another world after death?

Of course, such a good thing is impossible.

Wandering around Rishang Mountain like other ghosts?

That was even more impossible. It would be a blasphemy for that guy to stay in such a sacred place for every second, so he made one decision from the beginning.

————I must destroy that guy’s soul.

His weapons are spiritual power and his hands, and his method is a fighting style that is unique to him.

fist.

————He wanted to beat that guy’s soul to death with his hands surrounded by spiritual power.

……

Recently, for some unknown reason, the number of people going up the mountain before night has increased, so Zhiyao took the initiative to serve as a mountain patroller.

Every night he would patrol the mountains, just like the priestesses of the Crows of the past, but what he did was completely different—the priestesses watched, and he saved people.

Whenever he met those who were seeking death, he would try his best to persuade them. If he met those who were attracted to the mountain for various reasons, he would transform himself into a bodyguard and send them out of the mountain safely.

Although those guys who were sent out were very likely to be attracted to the mountain again like Himino Toyo and Bai Baise Haruka in the game, and this time they were not so lucky to be encountered by Zhiyao and killed by evil spirits, making Zhiyao's previous efforts come to nothing.

In Zhiyao's opinion, that is better than doing nothing.

In addition to the two groups mentioned above, we sometimes encounter a third type - extremely vicious criminals who come to the mountains to hide.

Every time this happened, Zhiyao would lead them to Ji Valley on the top of the mountain and hand them over to Kuangnu, or take them to Jieyuan's House and hand them over to Jienu, and let the two old ladies make those guys into pillars to share the pain, so as to relieve the pressure on Baiju and Fengshi.

Bai Ju felt deeply gratified by this, and Feng Shi was also deeply moved.

Zhiyao walked slowly in the forest, occasionally glancing at the three BOSS groups on both sides.

"There's something I don't understand." He spoke to them by chance.

"What?" Feng Shi spoke first.

"There were clearly guards patrolling the mountains, so how did Shugi Miyazaki still succeed? I can't figure it out. Could it be that, just like in my dream, that guy Shugi Miyazaki is lurking somewhere in the mountains, waiting for an opportunity to strike?"

"Nine out of ten," Wu Hui continued, "It's such a big place after all."

Feng Shi was puzzled. "What guards? I don't understand what you are talking about."

"They are the guards sent by the Matsumoto family to protect the shrine maidens from harm from bad people." Shiragiku answered her.

Feng Shi was even more confused: "Matsumoto family?"

"Yes, the Matsumoto family in the neighboring Yangyan Village. The patriarch is Matsumoto Sosuke, and the guards were sent by him."

As soon as these words were spoken, Fengshi fell into deep thought, and it took him a long time before he vaguely remembered something.

"It seems...some senior once...did mention guards or something..."

"When you came to this place, was there nothing in the mountains?" Zhiyao asked.

"No." Feng Shi shook his head, his voice firm.

Zhiyao was shocked instantly.

"Oh, that's strange. At that time, I clearly... Could it be that old man Matsumoto Sosuke didn't keep his word? That shouldn't be the case."

Baiju immediately took Zhiyao's hand, very excited.

"Let's go find the High Priest and ask him what's going on!"

Zhiyao looked at the time on her watch. It was exactly half past ten. Eleven o'clock was the scheduled break time, so she happily agreed.

"Walk."

Chapter 195: [Reminiscence of the Past]

When arriving at Ji Valley, Zhiyao did not see the old woman in black.

Just as he was looking around, suddenly, a sound came from behind.

"Oh, Mr. Sikong."

The voice was as slow and measured as usual.

Zhiyao turned around and saw an old woman in black standing at the entrance of Ji Valley with a hunched back.

"Good evening, Your Excellency the Priest." Feng Shi was the first to greet him.

"Good evening." Bai Ju followed closely behind.

Ms. Kuang nodded calmly in response to the two of them, then looked around and asked, "Mr. Sikong, is there anything you want to talk to me about?"

"Of course I'm not here to deliver materials to you," Zhiyao said.

Both sides knew what the material referred to, so they smiled knowingly at the same time.

Then, Zhiyao got to the point.

"I came to ask you something."

"Please speak." Kuang nodded. "As long as I know something, I will tell you everything I know."

"I once mentioned to Matsumoto Sosuke about adding guards to the mountains. You should know about this, right?"

Ms. Kuang nodded.

"And yet the priestesses were still massacred. Feng Shi also said that he never saw any guards patrolling. So, could you please tell me what happened after I left?"

As soon as the voice fell, Ms. Kuang raised her head and gazed at the sky, occasionally sighing softly, and then slowly immersed herself in the memories of the past.

"At that time, someone from the Matsumoto family did come to discuss with me the issue of sending more guards to protect the shrine maidens from harm. This matter was successfully implemented. At the beginning, everything was fine, but then something happened..."

When she said this, Ms. Kuang suddenly paused.

Knowing that the key part was about to come, Zhiyao swallowed his saliva and became extremely alert.

"Mikos are all children with tragic backgrounds. Their lives have long been marked by a fateful ending. Furthermore, they are affected by negative emotions every day, so most of them are naturally sensitive."

Hearing this, Zhiyao inadvertently thought of Shuiyun.

"They rarely have the opportunity to interact with people outside the mountains. Even if they do encounter them, they are mostly people who have no attachment to the world, so there are rarely any opportunities to chat."

"But the guards are different. They are all normal people. Although there is a rule that prohibits talking to the miko during work, not many people actually abide by it because it is impossible for anyone to monitor their every move at all times."

"As the conversations grew, the guards learned about the miko's backgrounds, and some of them developed sympathy for them. Since they were all young men and women, they eventually developed feelings for each other."

"Then some of the shrine maidens wanted to change their fate and live with their loved ones."

"Later, some shrine maidens began to quietly leave and elope with the men they loved.

"I'll go negotiate with them after I find out."

"Later, the deployment of additional guards was called off, and the mountain returned to being unguarded."
