I, enter the zero world, change the ending

After that, the scene fell into silence, and the two looked at each other. However, Zhiyao soon noticed that the shiny substance in Xiao Wuhui's pupils, which were as dark as a pool of stagnant water, was slowly overflowing over the wellhead.

She cried, why?

Is it because the wound is so painful that it is unbearable, or is it because I refuse to listen to advice and insist on doing what I want?

But why did her eyes look so sad, and then she herself began to feel sad, which made Zhiyao tremble involuntarily.

"Baby, you..."

Xiao Wuhui gently took his hand away, sniffled, and then more tears began to flow on her bloodless face.

It was extremely heartbreaking to watch. Zhiyao bit her lower lip with a frown on her face, and all the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat.

After trying for a long time, I finally made a sound.

"Don't cry, what's going on..."

His answer was Kirie's sobbing.

Seeing this, Zhiyao quickly pressed the little girl's head into her shoulder and said, "If you are angry because of my stubbornness... I... I am really sorry."

The answer he got was still sobbing. He looked at Xiao Wuhui's face and saw that the little girl was biting her lips tightly, as if she was trying hard to hold back something.

The two continued to stare at each other for a while. After a long time, Wuhui, who could no longer control herself, finally opened her lips and whimpered, "Sikong... Wuhui... she has never had a happy day..."

Zhiyao had been locked up in the prison for ten years, so how could he not know about this? He looked away and curled his lips obscurely.

"I can understand how she feels, because... I feel the same way..."

"baby."

Xiao Wuhui pressed his lips, indicating that she should continue speaking first.

"Originally... I had always considered completing the ritual as my sole goal in life, and I had no attachment to this world. However, ever since that chance encounter... with Mr. Asanuma... I've developed a yearning for the outside world..."

"This kind of thing is normal, right?"

"Sikong, what do you think the ritual is for?"

"For the greater good." Zhiyao thought for a moment and answered.

"Since it's for the greater good, then the ceremony must exist, right?"

"This..." Zhiyao was about to answer that objectively speaking, but she felt that it was easy to say, so she had to avoid it, "I'm sorry, I can't answer this question."

"I believe it must exist. Not only did the priests tell me so, but the rope priestesses before me also believed so. There's really no other way to seal the Yellow Springs Gate. To prevent the Yellow Springs miasma from leaking out and harming more lives, the elders willingly sacrificed their lives and used their souls to personally guard it. I should have been one of them, but things turned out like this."

"No, I can't blame you. It was those priests who killed Asanuma..."

"But Mr. Asanuma died because of me... Did you know that once, the armored warrior also fell in love with a rope maiden?"

There was actually such a thing. Zhiyao suddenly became excited and urged impatiently: "I really don't know, hurry up and tell me."

"The armored warrior Kuki Tokisada, once a guard of the Himuro family, secretly planned to escape with the miko because he couldn't bear to see her die. I'm not sure what the senior was thinking, but she withstood the test and the ritual was successfully completed. Kuki Tokisada, however, was apprehended when he tried to stop the ritual during its execution. Afterwards, he was ordered by the lord to commit suicide. Since then, he has become the vengeful spirit of the armored warriors and has been wandering in the Abyss of Demons."

"Then why did he instigate you to destroy the Divine Mirror?" Zhiyao continued to ask.

"Because sealing the Yellow Springs Gate requires not only the rope that holds the Miko's soul, but also the Divine Mirror to dispel the evil spirit behind the gate that intends to possess the Miko's soul, otherwise it may not succeed. Kuki Tokisada believes that as long as the gate is not closed, the Miko's soul will be free."

"I didn't expect this person to be..." Suddenly, an indescribable feeling lingered in Zhiyao's heart, "I thought he was just a violent warrior evil spirit."

After that, Xiao Wuhui returned to the previous topic.

"That senior and I both faced trials. She successfully fulfilled her duty, but I wavered in my faith, especially as the ritual was about to be performed. During that time, all I could think about was being with him, and I began to harbor the desire to live. Until one day, Mr. Asanuma suddenly stopped coming to see me. The priests all told me he had returned, but I dreamed of him, and his eyes made me understand the truth... When I woke up, I cried for a long time, not only because of the loss, but also because of the overwhelming guilt... Tell me, if he hadn't met me, if I had distanced myself from him at the very beginning of our feelings, would he not have died? All of this is my fault, including everything that has happened since then."

Saying so much at once may have touched the sensitive part of her heart, and the tears accumulated in Xiao Wuhui's eyes began to well up again, while Zhiyao only felt a huge shock on the emotional level, so that she felt mixed and uncomfortable.

"Sikong, you know, ever since I've been living in your body, I know everything you've been thinking about."

It was still little Wuhui who was saying, "No one has hugged me since I was seven years old. You are the first person to hug me in all these years. Since Mr. Asanuma was killed, I have never felt happy while I was alive. After death, I was infected by an evil spirit and my soul was split into two. Over the years, every time Wuhui killed someone, I felt that my sin increased by one point. I was often in a low mood. All I thought about was how to stop the evil deeds of my clones, until one day I picked up my responsibilities again. Later... you appeared. You talked to me a lot and teased me. You felt sad because of my past experiences and wanted to take me away from this place, even though we spent very little time together. "It's short, but being with you is the happiest time for me, so when I saw Wuhui was going to kill you, I couldn't care about anything else... Although I am very grateful for what you have done, but... please don't continue like that. I don't deserve it and I don't deserve to be treated like that. You must not turn this place into the second Sunrise Mountain for me, disregarding the lives of other people in the world and carrying sins that you shouldn't have. Sikong, I was worried that something might happen to you and wanted you to leave. Now... let's continue to help each other and complete our respective missions. When this is over, you take Hinasaki Manfuyu away, and I stay to atone for my sins. Is that okay?"

"If that happens...what will you do?!" Zhiyao said in great pain, "I will really be alone from now on."

"When you decided to change Hinasaki Shinku's fate, wasn't it destined to become like that?"

"That's because we didn't have any intersection at the beginning, and I didn't seriously consider you!"

"It's actually quite good for me to be alone, because I've always been alone. When I was alive, I stayed alone in the Zashiki prison. After death, I wandered alone in the Himuro residence. I occasionally developed feelings for someone, but ended up causing that person to lose their life. Being alone is my natural final destination."

In the chaos, an idea suddenly popped up in Zhiyao's mind, "How about this, after I get that old guy Hinasaki Manfuyu out, I'll come down to accompany you?"

"No————!" Xiao Wuhui immediately fell into panic and refused sternly, "You can't be so impulsive, you can't come back, you must live well outside!"

"At least it can make up for it..."

Before she could finish her words, Xiao Wuhui ruthlessly interrupted her again, "You don't need to make amends! This is the only thing I absolutely won't give in to. If you insist on doing this, I will destroy myself right now!"

While giving the warning, Xiao Wuhui pressed her nails against her throat. It was the first time that Xiao Wuhui used such a tone and showed such an expression to Zhiyao. Zhiyao did not dare to take any chances and nodded repeatedly. He even kept repeating in his mind that he would leave immediately after finishing the job, because Xiao Wuhui could see him at any time, at least at this time when she was in high spirits, it would be better to accommodate her.

Chapter 52: [No Problems as Long as There is Love]

While calming Xiao Wuhui, Zhiyao continued to persuade her carefully:

"Don't be like this. I'll listen to you and leave after we're done, okay?"

"You have to swear!" Xiao Wuhui's eyes were filled with tears, and her fingers refused to move stubbornly.

"I send... does it matter whether I send it or not? You can see everything I'm thinking anyway. Or do you not plan to merge with me anymore?"

Xiao Wuhui hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say.

She wanted the other party to use whether he could successfully change Shenhong's fate as the condition of his oath, but she felt that it was too unreasonable, so she kept silent.

Seeing Xiao Wuhui fell silent, Zhiyao took the opportunity to hold her wrist.

"Baby, can you please take your hand away?" As he spoke, he tried to move Xiao Wuhui's hand away, but as soon as he moved it away a little, Xiao Wuhui put her hand back to its original position.

Helpless, he simply pretended to be unhappy.

"Hey, no matter how willful you are, there has to be a limit. If you keep getting angry like this, I'll do it!"

The effect was as he expected. After a while, Xiao Wuhui's momentum weakened and she weakly put down her arms.

Zhiyao was secretly delighted.

"Okay, little guy, you dare to threaten me?" He laughed and gently pinched Wuhui's nose, shaking it from side to side. "Baby, why are you so cute? Are you trying to kill me with your cuteness?"

"I... I'm not a child..." Xiao Wuhui responded sullenly, "Evil Wuhui is my true self. I just don't have enough strength now and can only maintain this state. Don't forget that I was born over a hundred years ago and am much older than you."

"Oh, then I have something to say to you."

Just by looking at that smiling face, Xiao Wuhui knew that it was definitely not something good.

"Go ahead."

"Why is the old woman acting so hypocritical?" Zhiyao said, and sneered.

Xiao Wuhui's mouth immediately pouted.

"Humph."

"What are you humming for? You're like a pig."

"You only know how to bully me. I'm your grandmother's grandmother, yet you still talk to me so disrespectfully."

"Isn't it because you are so cute?" Zhiyao quickly hugged him in his arms.

There's no one else here now, so I can take a good rest for a while.

Just as he was about to start, his head was unexpectedly pushed away by Xiao Wuhui.

"How cute is it?" Xiao Wuhui asked unexpectedly.

Zhiyao thought for a moment and said, "As cute as Baiju."

"How can you compare me to her?"

"Because you both maintain the appearance of seven years old, I can hold you both in my arms at the same time."

Xiao Wuhui immediately expressed her disdain, "You're dreaming too much. I won't let you hug anyone. You might as well hug Baiju instead."

But for some reason, as soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Wuhui's eyes began to reflect a crystal-clear substance, accumulating at the edge of her eye sockets, ready to move.

Zhiyao saw it clearly and her heart tightened instantly.

"What's wrong? Why is it like this again?"

"Sikong..." Xiao Wuhui rubbed her eyes and forced herself not to sniffle, "Promise me you won't go to Rishang Mountain, okay?"

"Ah ha?" Zhiyao was immediately confused. "Why would I go there if I had nothing to do? To commit suicide?"

"That place is very dangerous. If you go there, you will die."

"I already said I won't go." Zhiyao sighed lightly, speechless.

"I saw that you actually wanted to go. You wanted to see Baiju... But it's really not safe there. I have to stay and complete my mission. I can't protect you like I do now... by your side."

"Okay, okay, now that you've seen it... well, even if I really have to go, I'll be well prepared. I'll... I'll find a way to get Wuming to accompany me. You should feel more at ease with her around, right?"

At this point, Xiao Wuhui lowered her head and stopped talking. No one knew what she was thinking.

……

Time is like running water, which never comes back. Zhiyao and the others waited in this space for a long time, but Shenhong and the others still did not come.

At this time.

"Sikong."

The little girl's gentle voice called out to me.

"What?"

"I'm a little tired, can you please..."

Zhiyao understood immediately, "If you want to sleep, then go to sleep. Why are you asking for my opinion?"

In fact, what Xiao Wuhui really wanted to express was whether he could hold her, so that she would sleep more comfortably, warmer, and more at ease.

From the age of seven until her death, she had never been hugged by anyone, and her soul had been lonely for so many years. At first, when Zhiyao suddenly hugged her, Xiao Wuhui was a little at a loss. However, after getting used to it, she became obsessed with this feeling and was very grateful for her current body shape, because this way she could just snuggle in the other person's arms and enjoy the feeling of being covered whole body and mind.

Even if the person opposite is only old enough to be her grandson's grandson.

It will be a farewell soon, she thought, so she must make the most of every remaining minute.

On the other hand, Zhiyao was certainly not a stupid fool, and he thought of this immediately.

What a clingy little cutie—Zhiyao sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"I know, I know, Wuhui baby." Zhiyao said as she took the baby into her arms, "You can sleep as late as you want, I will never leave secretly."

One was lying down and the other was looking down, their eyes looking up and down at each other quietly.

Soon, Xiao Wuhui looked away, covering her mouth with her hand out of shyness, and said in a soft voice, "Well...do you have to call me baby? I feel a little..."

"Because you are so cute, I couldn't help but scream out." Zhiyao gently poked her temple.

"I...please ask...can I..." Xiao Wuhui said timidly.

"No!" Zhiyao interrupted him with a firm tone.

How could he, as smart as he is, not guess what Xiao Wuhui wants to say? He wants him to change his name, but that's impossible.

"Sikong, don't you think it's a bit too ambiguous... Even Mr. Asanuma has never called him that." Not intending to compromise immediately, Xiao Wuhui tried to maneuver.

"If he can do it, I can't, right?" Zhiyao snorted coldly to express his indignation.

"Mr. Asanuma and I are... you clearly know..."

"Then I can do that too. Don't forget who is holding you now."

This was said confidently and with a tone that sounded a bit nonchalant, so Xiao Wuhui immediately decided not to respond.

Today's Himuro Kirie is no longer the naive girl who was just beginning to fall in love. Having had feelings for others, she certainly understands the implied meaning. But this time, she will not respond. She will remain firm in her belief and will not waver until she successfully completes her mission.

As for the restlessness in my heart and the happy time spent with this person, they will become the most beautiful memories, so that I can comfort myself when I feel lonely and painful guarding the gate of the underworld alone.
