The next moment, as the swirling smoke rose, Lian began to answer slowly.

"To collect materials, on an island."

Upon hearing this, Zhiyao's expression became extremely focused at that moment, and then as Lian said the rest of the story, he was completely stunned, thinking that this could be another arrangement of fate.

"It's a small island located south of Honshu. Once upon a time, a grand ceremony was held on the island every ten years. However, due to an accident, five girls mysteriously disappeared during the ceremony. Two years later, the island experienced a strange change."

"All residents died mysteriously"

"Then it became a deserted island."

And about the name of that island——

【Oborozuki Island】

Zhiyao muttered to herself.

……

Six o'clock, in a bachelor apartment.

"Then I'll go back first." As she spoke, Lian handed the key to Zhiyao, "Remember to pay the rent to me before the tenth of every month."

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely remember it." Zhiyao nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

The place where they are now is the single apartment where Kurosawa Rei used to live.

Since they moved to a two-story villa, this place has become idle, and coincidentally, it has not been rented out. The monthly rent is almost the same as not charging any money.

"Apartments in places like this all start at 50000. I didn't expect Miss Kurosawa to give it to you for just 20000."

After Lian left, Xili stared at the exit door and sighed sincerely.

"It means I have a good relationship with her, hehe." Zhiyao was very happy.

"Are you really not considering moving back to the shrine?" Looking at Zhiyao, Xili was still a little unwilling. "It's cheaper there than here. I only need to pay 10000 a month, and we can still be neighbors."

"I'm no longer an employee there." Zhiyao spread his hands.

"You can be a tenant like me." Xili continued to persuade.

"Forget it. I also want to change my environment. Besides, Sister Lian has done me such a big favor. I've already made an agreement with her. Changing my mind now...it won't be a good idea after all. What do you think?"

This made sense, so Xili stopped insisting and sighed in disappointment.

"Then you can stay here first. I'm going back now. Remember to give me your landline number later."

After saying this, Xili walked towards the door, put on her shoes, pushed the door open and left.

So, Zhiyao was the only one left in the room...

and crimson.

"Aren't you leaving yet?" Zhiyao asked, turning to Shenhong.

"I'm not leaving." With her hands behind her back, Shenhong smiled and shook her head gently.

So Zhiyao teased: "If you don't leave, are you planning to treat me to a meal?"

"I won't treat you, but we can go shopping for groceries, hehe."

Coming to Zhiyao's side, Shenhong patted his shoulder gently and said, "My brother is on a business trip. I'm the only one at home today, so let's have dinner together. This place happens to have all the pots and pans, so let's cook here."

"Then I'll just eat."

Crimson rolled her eyes at him and said, "Of course not. You have to help me and wash the dishes later."

The two came outside.

During this time, Zhiyao quietly observed Shenhong and found that the childishness on her face had faded a lot.

"Sikong." Suddenly, Shenhong looked over. "Come to think of it, it's been a long time since we've been together like this, right?"

"It's normal. After all, everyone has their own things to do." Zhiyao looked away with a nonchalant tone.

"I feel like this isn't good, because..." Crimson paused, "I'm the heroine, right? I feel like if I keep going like this, I'll soon fade out of your sight."

Zhiyao didn't forget the heroine's joke.

"Aha, it's still early. Besides, you don't have psychic abilities anymore."

"Yes, I haven't recovered yet, so I'm really looking forward to this trip to Longyue Island, because there is the Yellow Spring Gate there. Although Liuge's storyline has ended, I may be able to use this opportunity to recover my clairvoyance."

Zhiyao gently poked the deep red forehead.

"No way, no way, the pain I've suffered since childhood doesn't matter anymore?"

Crimson immediately poked back, and then changed to a meaningful tone:

"Things are different now than they were before. I used to think my brother was the only one who understood my pain, but later I discovered there are so many people like me, including you, Sister Lian, Mr. Aso, Koto, Yuri, the Amakura sisters, Officer Fujisaki, and Liuge. Most of them are my friends. Since you're all living optimistically and positively, why should I keep dwelling on my own pain and being hypocritical?"
