"Well, I wasn't sure whether you were human or from that side..."

"Have you ever thought of using a camera to verify your identity?" Suddenly, Zhiyao thought of something, "Don't tell me you went to get a camera?!"

"No, no," Yae said with an embarrassed look on her face. "I suddenly sensed something in the courtyard. I was worried it might get the guests sucked in, so I went to check with my camera. After finally eliminating the black shadow dancing in the air, I fainted from exhaustion."

"Mom has been fainting a lot lately," Mikoto added.

Hearing this, Zhiyao looked at Yae with a serious expression, "Mrs. Zongfang, do you often hear noises that you couldn't hear before?"

Eight nodded.

"You've been recuperating here. Has your condition improved?"

"It was okay at first, and it gradually got better." Yae thought for a moment, "But after I could see those things, my body started to go back to before I moved in, or even worse."

"That's right, because this is not a place suitable for self-cultivation and recuperation." Zhiyao clenched his fist and gently pounded the ground. "Because of your long-term use of the camera, you have gradually transformed from an ordinary person into a psychic."

"Psychic physique?" Yazhe was shocked. Seeing Zhiyao frowning, he swallowed his saliva carefully.

"It's a special physique that allows you to see the inhabitants of other worlds. Once this physique is developed, it is basically irreversible for life. You will continue to see them and occasionally hear noises that you couldn't hear before." Zhiyao licked her lips suddenly dry, then scratched them with her fingernails. "My situation is similar to yours, so I solemnly warn you not to stay any longer and move out as soon as possible."

"But..." Yae paused, looking very embarrassed.

"I'm not exaggerating!" Zhiyao suddenly became impatient at Yae's expression. "You also know that there are monsters in this mansion. Let me tell you the truth, do you know what's under the Himuro Mansion? It's the Gate to the Underworld, the entrance to another world. If you keep dawdling, your whole family will die!"

It was like a blockbuster bomb exploding at the bottom of the lake, stirring up thousands of waves on the surface of the lake.

The information came too suddenly, Yae's expression froze, his head was buzzing, and then he heard Zhiyao continue to speak.

"Your name is now Munakata Yae, but your original name was Kurosawa Yae. You escaped from Minamigami Village with a younger sister named Kurosawa Sae. She fell and failed to escape, so she was captured by the villagers. They captured you two sisters to hold the Red Blessing Festival, a ceremony used to suppress the Gate of the Underworld. However, the Himuro residence where you are now is also under the Gate of the Underworld, just like Minamigami Village. So you and your family should move out immediately without even a second of delay."

After saying that, seeing that Yazhong was still in a daze, Zhiyao stood up and

"You're not feeling well, so continue to rest for a while. Mikoto, come here and tell me what's important. Let's pack our luggage and try to leave before dark."

Suddenly coming to his senses, Yae was about to say wait for Liang Zang to come back first, but he saw Xiao Wuhui, who had been sitting still since he woke up, stood up and went straight to Zhiyao.

"Aren't you going back yet?" Xiao Wuhui said with her head raised, standing in front of Zhiyao.

Zhiyao was stunned, and then a large area of ​​dazzling white light appeared in his vision, which made him close his eyes in pain. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying on the ground instead of standing. The sky was dark. In addition, Shenhong, Gudu and Xiao Wuhui were beside him.

The scene change was unexpected. Zhiyao sat up and looked around.

"You're awake!" Gudu's tone was very excited.

Looking at Shen Hong again, Shen Hong also had a relieved expression, "He suddenly fainted just now, and we were worried that something had happened."

"I passed out?" Zhiyao was completely bewildered. "How long was I unconscious?"

"Probably less than two or three minutes." Crimson said, "We're just planning to carry you into the house."

Only two or three minutes?

No matter how Zhiyao thought about it, he felt that something was wrong. His eyes accidentally met Xiao Wuhui's, and he pressed Xiao Wuhui's shoulders, "What happened to me just now? Are you sure I'm unconscious?"

"It can't be considered a simple coma." Xiao Wuhui said, pressing her two small and delicate palms against Zhiyao's face. "I don't know exactly what happened, but I only know that your soul was not in your body for a short period of time."

When these words were spoken, the three of them were shocked at the same time, especially Zhiyao.

The absence of the soul means that he has died once. He never expected that in less than two hours after coming to the Himuro residence, he had died twice. The first time was when he was attacked by Ogata Koji, and both times he was unconscious.

"Are you sure?" Shenhong looked at Xiao Wuhui with a serious expression.

Xiao Wuhui nodded.

After coming to his senses, Zhiyao recounted his experience in as much detail as possible.

"You went back to the past?!" Gu Du couldn't believe it, but he also felt that it was not surprising for anything to happen in a place like Himuro Mansion.

"Did you meet my grandmother and great-grandmother?" Crimson asked, "and communicate with them?"

"Hmm, my past self." Xiao Wuhui murmured to herself, closing her eyes and searching for clues in her mind.

Zhiyao went back to the past and met her past self. She thought that there might be some new memories in her mind suddenly.

However, no one noticed that before long, a rope appeared on the branch of the cherry tree next to it. One end of the rope was hanging on the branch, and the other end was around the neck of a middle-aged woman in a black kimono.

"puff"

Until the branch broke because it could not bear the weight, and the middle-aged woman fell to the ground, and everyone noticed it.

Suddenly coming to their senses, everyone dispersed at the speed of light.

The next second, the middle-aged woman got up from the ground, but she staggered because she was not standing steadily. After a moment, she stabilized her body, staring with her eyeballs without pupils and making a threatening gesture.

"Uhhhhhhhhhhh."

A violent roar cut through the sky. Gudu subconsciously covered his ears. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that this was not a spirit with which he could communicate. Shenhong decisively raised the camera, even though she felt that the middle-aged woman looked strangely familiar.

"Wait————!" Zhiyao stopped loudly.

Because Zhiyao recognized him at a glance. This was Souma Yae, who had been talking to her not long ago.

He couldn't understand why Yae was here. Didn't he tell her to move out? Why was she still here with a rope around her neck?

Could it be that she committed suicide by hanging herself?

Did he not listen to the advice or was the so-called time travel just now actually a trip to another timeline...

"Yae!" Zhiyao shouted loudly to Souma Yae.

Shenhong and Gudu were both shocked, and it took them a moment to remember.

"She is... great-grandmother?" Shenhong muttered to herself as she lowered the camera halfway.

"This is Munakata Yae." Xiao Wuhui reminded Shenhong and the others, "She hanged herself from this cherry tree before her death."

Perhaps Zhiyao's voice was the loudest. As soon as he finished speaking, Yae turned to him, and his bloody mouth opened as if he wanted to bite him to pieces.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

He bent down, then stood up again with his head tilted back, opened his arms and roared angrily, then pounced on Zhiyao who was close at hand.

Chapter 38: [Awakening]

Zhiyao was prepared and dodged.

Having missed his target, Yae staggered to a stop, turned around, and attacked the target again.

"Yae!"

Zhiyao was still shouting loudly, and Yae still didn't hesitate at all, and could not hear anything at all.

After dodging Yae who pounced on him for the second time, the man and the spirit began to chase each other in the courtyard.

Seeing that Zhiyao didn't even pull out the knife, Xiao Wuhui was extremely anxious, "Sikong, fight back quickly!"

I didn't know what to do with the deep red and the ancient capital in the distance, especially the deep red. I kept the camera half-raised and didn't make the next move.

"Yae, wake up!"

Zhiyao couldn't remember how many times he had avoided the attack. Risking his life and being caught, he leaned close to Yae's ear.

"Uoo ...

The atrium was not very spacious. After playing hide-and-seek with Yae for several rounds, Zhiyao simply climbed over the fence in front of him, which was less than half a meter high, and jumped onto the corridor. When she saw Yae chasing her, she tripped over the railing. While she was still getting up, Zhiyao looked left and right, wondering whether she should escape to somewhere else first.

After a long time, one of the companions couldn't bear it anymore.

"Sikong, I'll take care of her!" Shen Hong walked around and stood in front of Zhiyao. "Although I don't know why you just ran away, at least I won't sit idly by and watch."

Compared to the ghost of her great-grandmother who had passed away for a long time and with whom she had no contact, Shenhong valued the friends she had finally made more.

"No!" Zhiyao pulled her behind him and continued to be vigilant of Yazhong's every move. "Please, don't hurt her. There must be a way to wake her up."

"Why are you so persistent?!" Shen Hong gritted her teeth, anxiously and anxiously, "Great-grandmother can't hear anything at all, can't you see?!"

"But……"

In front, Yae, who was approaching, suddenly stopped.

"I've got her under control, Sikong. Hurry up." In the distance, Gudu forced a smile and reminded, "I can only control her for thirty seconds. Be careful not to get too close."

Zhiyao nodded at her gratefully, then came to Yae.

"Yae, can you hear me?!"

"Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." He was answered by a mindless roar.

"Wake up, please! I don't want to pull a knife on you!"

The answer to Zhiyao was still a mindless roar like a wild beast. Yae's eyeballs were still only white, and the pupils were not visible.

Seeing this, Zhiyao couldn't help but think of the loss in science fiction movies, and thought she must be crazy.

But he just couldn't do it, at least he wouldn't do it until he was forced to.

Time passed by minute by minute, and soon, thirty seconds arrived.

“Get out of the way——————!” Gu Du’s anxious cry came to my ears.

As soon as the shout fell, Yae, who was no longer restrained, let out an angry roar and pounced towards Zhiyao, who was closest to him. Just as Zhiyao was about to take several steps back to avoid the attack, Shenhong quickly raised the camera from behind, pointed the lens at Yae's eyes and pressed the shutter.

The bright incandescent light hit his face, and Yae immediately covered his eyes, waving his other arm defensively while wailing in pain.

"Hinasaki, that's enough!" Seeing that Shenhong was still holding the camera, Zhiyao stopped in front of the lens and said, "The three of us should take the bag and run away first. She has no self-awareness and it's easy to get rid of her."

"I won't run away." Crimson stared directly at Yae, determination written on her face. "She is a potential risk, an obstacle that must be overcome."

"After all, they are your relatives..."

"What I value is not the family love that I have never felt, Sikong, you know what I value more."

"I support Hinasaki." Xiao Wuhui came out and echoed Shenhong, "Sikong, I know what you are thinking. You want her to be reunited with her sister."

At this moment, Yae's roar came again from the front. Seeing this, Zhiyao drew out his knife, pointed the side of the blade that would not cause any harm at Yae, and walked forward slowly.

He was gambling, betting whether Yae would be afraid and hide or become more violent.

The goddess of luck favored him. Yae raised his hands to block the light, and retreated again and again under the approaching light. Unknowingly, he retreated from the corridor to the open courtyard.

"call."

Having temporarily controlled the target, Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, both of you, don't just stand there, help me think of a solution."

As a result, as soon as his eyes moved to Shenhong, he heard Gu Du's high-decibel shout to remind him. Zhiyao moved his eyes back to the front and found that Yae had escaped the gravity and his body was floating in the air at a height of at least five meters.

"She can actually fly?" Zhiyao was surprised.

"Some evil spirits do." Xiao Wuhui said indifferently, and then reminded seriously, "Be careful, she may suddenly dive down from this height. Chu Yeya's light may not be able to stop her. She may also go to Kurosawa or Hinasaki."

Beside him, Shenhong frowned and snorted with disdain. He took out a set of spare blue films from his portable bag and switched them quickly and methodically.

She is a long-range attack type, so whether the evil spirit can fly or not has no effect on her, as long as it does not teleport.

The screen owner took a breath, Shenhong raised the camera to his neck, paying attention to Yae's every move, and also winked at Gudu. Gudu obeyed the order and quickly raised both palms, maintaining the moment before merging and clasping the fingers.

Three seconds later, the Yae in the sky locked onto the target and swooped down quickly like an eagle catching a rabbit.

Seeing this, Gu Du, who had been waiting eagerly for a long time, put his fingers together and made the target hover at a height of about two meters from the ground. On the other side, Shen Hong stepped forward tacitly, raised the camera high, and almost stuck the lens into Yae's eyes.

The extremely close distance means maximum damage output, and the attack is on a vulnerable part like the eyes. Yae let out a painful wail and fell heavily to the ground from mid-air.

While Yae was struggling to get up, Shenhong's face turned cold as she pressed the shutter several times in succession.

After that, Yae finally fell to the ground and didn't move.

"Hinasaki..." Zhiyao complained.

"I'm showing mercy." Shen Hong sighed nonchalantly, "She's not dead yet. We need to find a way now, quickly."

"She could get up again at any moment." Xiao Wuhui looked at Yae lying on the ground and warned cautiously, "Even after such a beating, she still hasn't regained her sanity. I still suggest destroying her."

Only Gu Du did not express his opinion, staring at Yae intently. Fortunately, he stopped the sudden attack in the first time.

"Xiao Wuhui, is there really nothing you can do?" Zhiyao asked.

"Before you came here, I had never seen an evil spirit lose its mind and then be awakened. At least this has never happened in the Himuro residence." Xiao Wuhui said.
