I, enter the zero world, change the ending

The person opposite him also looked him up and down, then shifted his gaze to Xiao Wuhui, "This person... is human, right?"

"You were a human before." Zhiyao continued.

"Lingyin, where have you been all these years?" Xiao Wuhui interrupted their conversation, "I've been wandering around the Himuro residence for so long and haven't seen you."

"Oh, I don't know exactly what happened. I just remember being killed by the Lord. I just regained consciousness and then groped my way here from the Ghost Mouth. When I saw someone being chased by Qianye Lord, I helped to divert her."

Zhiyao couldn't believe it and asked impatiently, "Your murder must have been traced back to a hundred years ago, so how come you just woke up?"

"How would I know why?" Lingyin rolled her eyes upwards.

"Hey, if she had woken up decades earlier, Wuhui wouldn't have been alone for so long." Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh and lament.

"Sikong, let's not talk about that for now." Xiao Wuhui changed the subject, "Why did you run away just now? You could have fought with Master Qianye."

"Why do you think that is?" Zhiyao asked back, not caring at all.

Xiao Wuhui kept silent, so Zhiyao continued, "I saw the execution of the Megumi ritual before, and I felt a little sorry for it..."

"But you might get hurt because of your soft-heartedness," said Xiao Wuhui.

"I can see now and protect myself. You know, this place is different from the world I used to know. There, except for you, Kirei-chan, everyone else is crazy and must be killed. Here, I hope to try gentle methods first, especially not against the shrine maidens. Because both the Mekakure and the Rope-no-shrine maidens have sacrificed too much and are extremely great."

After carefully chewing on the above words, Xiao Wuhui fell silent. Beside her, Lingyin's eyes were more inquiring.

After some time.

"It's time to go and meet up with them." Xiao Wuhui jumped onto Zhiyao's back and put her arms around his neck.

"Well, where are you going?" Lingyin couldn't help but be curious.

"There are two other human women somewhere else." Xiao Wuhui answered, and then extended an invitation, "Lingyin, you can join us if you want."

Lingyin had just woken up and had nothing to do, so she was naturally happy to accompany him.

When they returned to the previous corridor, the wall still had not changed. Zhiyao knocked on it based on her rough memory, but did not hear any response from the other side of the wall, so she thought they might have returned to the entrance.

I have to meet up with them quickly, so Zhiyao immediately prepares to head towards the entrance.

As a result, just as I reached the end of the corridor and was about to open the door leading to the hearth room, I noticed a woman's painful voice and the sound of a camera shutter being pressed behind the door.

Open the door and take a look.

Shenhong was holding a camera and circling around the hearth in the middle of the house with the Mekakuro shrine maiden, and he had the upper hand.

Chapter 43: [Comfort]

The strongest heroine in the series is holding the strongest camera in the series that is the only one equipped with the fragment of the Divine Mirror. She is fighting against a blind undead who is unable to see and has restricted movements in a relatively open area with obstacles. The situation can be imagined.

If the deep red color had the upper hand before Zhiyao arrived, after Zhiyao opened the door, it completely turned into a raging wave rushing towards the castle built of sand.

The Mekakuro shrine maiden, Chiba, had completely lost the ability to fight back. She howled in pain under the frequently flashing lights and kept retreating with her shaky body.

Noticing that the Mekakuro Miko was retreating towards the door of the Rope Corridor, and worried that she would escape again, Crimson pressed the shutter again and unexpectedly accelerated, running over there and blocking her retreat with her body.

Finally, the Mekakuro priestess lost her balance and fell to the ground. As the execution process of the Mekakuro ritual replayed in her mind, Zhiyao felt a heartache in her heart.

"Stop fighting!" He stepped forward to stop Shenhong.

Worried that Mekakuro Miko would suddenly attack after she recovered, he drew out his knife and used light to stop her in her tracks.

Unfortunately, the light from the blade was also lethal, which made matters worse for the already wounded Mekakuro Miko, causing her to raise her hands helplessly to block the scorching light.

Lingyin couldn't bear it any longer, so she rushed into the range of light without hesitation and used her body to block the golden light for the Muyin Miko.

Seeing this, Zhiyao quickly put the knife back into the sheath.

"Liar———!" Lingyin's eyes widened in anger, and she gritted her teeth. If you looked closely, you could see tears welling up in her eyes. "You clearly said that the Mukakuro Miko was great, and that you would use gentle methods. Why did you still want to hurt Chiba-sama!"

"Huh?" Zhiyao was baffled, gradually becoming confused and unable to laugh or cry. "I didn't do that. I was just preventing her from getting up suddenly." Then she shifted the blame to Shenhong, "Most of the damage was caused by this girl. You should yell at her."

Shenhong choked and glared at him resentfully.

"Lingyin, don't get excited." Xiao Wuhui immediately stepped forward to comfort her former companion. "Sikong knows his limits. He once even risked his own life to awaken an unconscious, violent evil spirit."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yae, who was sitting on the beam watching the show, floated down and walked up to Lingyin.

"I can testify that the awakened evil spirit is me, hehe." His palm gently brushed across Lingyin's face, and Yae showed a gentle smile, as if the person in front of him was his own child. "Sikong is really patient, you can rest assured about him."

After being praised by both of them, Zhiyao felt a little embarrassed and shyly looked away.

After scanning several people one after another, Lingyin finally calmed down and thought that she had overreacted.

"I'm sorry..." Lingyin said hesitantly, feeling extremely guilty.

"It's okay, it's okay, you don't have to look like that." Zhiyao looked indifferent.

"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, let's think about how to save Chiba?" Yae stood between the two of them to smooth things over. Gudu also came over and squatted down, observing his old acquaintance from a close distance.

The atmosphere was peaceful, except for Crimson who seemed a little unhappy. The evil spirit she was fighting was cared for and comforted by everyone, and she seemed like a bad person instead.

Noticing Crimson's reaction, Zhiyao moved over to her side, "What's wrong, Hinasaki?"

"Nothing." Shen Hong turned away slowly, a hint of displeasure in her tone, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."

Zhiyao always felt that Shenhong was in a bad mood. After looking around, she immediately agreed with him.

"Come on, you didn't do anything wrong."

"It's because of you that I am set off." Shenhong pouted and responded secretly.

"Uh, then I really am..." Zhiyao held his forehead with a wry smile, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to the top of Shenhong's head. He was about to press it down, but he pulled it back in the end. "I'm sorry, all the mistakes are my fault, okay, Shenhong, my little cutie."

"Who allowed you to call my name directly?" Her eyes moved upwards at a forty-five-degree angle, and Shenhong curled the corners of her mouth.

"Yes, yes, Hinasaki, little sister Hinasaki."

After coaxing Hinasaki, the two returned to that side.

"How is Qianye?" Zhiyao asked first.

"I'm slightly injured, but it's not a serious problem. I'll be fine after a rest." Lingyin answered after a rough check.

It’s not a big problem, that’s good, Zhiyao breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he got very close to her, looked her up and down, and started talking, "Hey, Chiba, can you hear me?"

He was answered with sounds like "mmmm" and "ohhhh". The sounds did not sound like the roar of a person who had lost his mind, but more like the response of an aphasic person.

"She didn't lose her self-awareness?!" Zhiyao couldn't help but be overjoyed in an instant.

Xiao Wuhui followed closely and came forward.

"Lord Chiba, can you hear my voice? I'm Kirie. Do you remember me?" Little Kirie tried to say hello.

"I'm Suzune, the next generation Mekakuro Miko, chosen by you personally." Suzune followed closely behind.

Two soft and pleasant voices were like a long-lost light appearing in the dark night. The originally confused Mekakuro Miko nodded. Seeing this, Kirie and Suzune held her hands.

"Can't she speak fluently?" Zhiyao asked.

"I don't know. After the ghost game ended, I was imprisoned in Zashiki Prison. I don't know anything about what's happening outside." Xiao Wuhui said, "As for you, Suzune, you should be able to move around freely."

"I'm not really sure. I just heard that they were arranged to live in a special place with someone to take care of their daily life."

Just looking at this appearance, it was obvious that he did not have been well cared for when he was alive. The more he looked at it, the more depressed he felt. Lingyin suddenly felt a lump in her throat.

"Master Qianye, you've worked so hard." Rubbing her eyelids to dissipate the mist on the surface of her pupils, Lingyin hugged Qianye, "We have never forgotten your efforts. You have sacrificed so much for this world."

Seeing Chiba hug Suzune back, Kirie also joined in.

For a moment, the ghosts of the three witches hugged each other, and the scene looked very warm.

After a while, as the priestesses separated, Zhiyao found that Qianye gave people a different feeling than before, especially the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was laughing.

"What should we do next?" Gudu asked, looking at Zhiyao, "Should we take Qianye with us?"

"I think it's okay." After expressing his opinion, Yae also looked at Zhiyao.

Of course, such matters should be decided by the captain.

"No." Lingyin replied before Zhiyao could say anything, "Ms. Qianye is injured and needs to rest. I plan to take her back to Guikou and will be responsible for taking care of her and accompanying her there."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Shenhong interrupted with a neutral tone.

"Lingyin, we'll get busy now. Take care." Xiao Wuhui waved and said goodbye to her former friend.

Zhiyao then added, "By the way, in a few days, the road to Huangquan will be repaired. Don't forget to go there then."

"Okay, I will be responsible for sending Lord Chiba over." Lingyin responded with a bright smile.

As for herself, she would stay a while longer.

Everyone waved their arms and said goodbye around the fire. Zhiyao had planned to go see Qianye, but as soon as the idea came to her mind, Xiao Wuhui stared at her sternly, so she shrank her neck weakly and dismissed the sudden idea.

Before leaving, Qianye took out a mask from his arms and handed it to Zhiyao. Shenhong and others gathered around and saw that it was the missing mask of sadness.

……

"Baby, tell me more about Qianye."

On the way to the lord's shrine, Zhiyao spoke to Xiao Wuhui.

"I can't explain it clearly." Xiao Wuhui sighed, "After the ghost tour ended, I was sent to Zafuku prison and stayed there for ten years."

"What is Zashiki-ro?" Zhiyao was confused.

"You didn't know?" Xiao Wuhui's eyes suddenly widened. "I thought you knew everything."

In response, Zhiyao smiled awkwardly and said, "Let me put it this way, I know the general plot, but I can't remember the details clearly, especially the details. You have to tell me."

Shenhong, who was standing next to them, listened to their conversation and glanced over here from time to time.

She could roughly hear that they were sharing information, all of which were things she didn't know, which made her itchy and she wanted to join in immediately.

But she wouldn't bring it up.

Because both Sikong and Xiao Wuhui seemed to be deliberately lowering their voices when they spoke, almost whispering to each other, and thanks to the environment of the Himuro residence, they could barely hear each other.

Being as meticulous as she was, how could she not see that this was an attempt to avoid suspicion, so she decided not to go and cause trouble for herself.

"Oh my God, doesn't that mean he was sentenced to death at the age of seven, and he had to spend ten years in prison isolated from the world?"

"This is to sever the witch's attachment to the secular world."

"How did you get by during this period..."

"There are priests who constantly instill in the miko the importance of duty. Before I met that person, I didn't have any special feelings towards the secular world."

"Baby, I... do you know what heartache is?"

"Don't be like this, Sikong. This is my fate."

"So...are you sure you want to continue fulfilling that responsibility?"

"of course."

At this point, Zhiyao stopped talking. In a corner of his mind, he suddenly had a very irresponsible thought.

Since you want to take Hinasaki Mafuyu away, why not take Himuro Kirie with you? Forget about the mission of the Rope Maiden and the sealing of the gate to the underworld.

There is already a Sunrise Mountain somewhere, so what if there is another one here?

Chapter 44: [A short break]

Of course, the idea could not escape Xiao Wuhui's investigation, even if it was fleeting.

"Sikong, put away that selfish plan." Xiao Wuhui warned earnestly, like a monk who had seen through the world.

She had intended to remain silent, but she couldn't help but speak out.

Zhiyao was caught off guard. His eyes subconsciously met Xiao Wuhui's, then he looked away at the speed of light. However, he heard Xiao Wuhui continue to teach him, "I have already caused great harm due to my dereliction of duty. I hope you can help me fulfill my responsibilities instead of doing further evil."

"But..." Zhiyao half-closed her eyes, looking unhappy.

"Just do your respective duties well, and don't forget why you came to this place."

Zhiyao secretly glanced at Shenhong beside her.

"I see."
