The ones on the ground weren't completely dead yet, and new ones rushed out from the door. It was unclear how many more were behind the other door. After successfully blocking a few more with the blue film, Crimson made up his mind and quickly switched to the red film.

This time it was on a nuclear bomb scale, and the entire ceremony was filled with dense psychic shock waves.

After a while, as the shock wave dissipated, there was no more movement during the ceremony. At the same time, Crimson also reached his limit. He felt dizzy, his legs became weak, his body swayed, and finally he fell down in despair.

Zhiyao hurried to check on her and found that she looked extremely weak and her head was sweating profusely.

"Already, everything is solved...Ahaha." Crimson smiled with relief, as if he had completed a difficult task.

"You... are simply terrifying. Yes, yes, Little Crimson—the most powerful." Helpless and speechless, Zhiyao gently stroked her head with a bit of pity in his heart. "You know, you just achieved the achievement of killing a hundred people."

"Hehehe." Shenhong hummed softly with satisfaction, "Sikong, help me up quickly..."

"Get up, damn it! Just lie down and rest!" Zhiyao refused flatly, and moved her hands to cover her eyes.

"I mean the hair, the hair." Shenhong pushed his hand away and pointed to the portable bag, so Zhiyao helped her up, and Gudu took out the hairpin from the bag and helped her restore her original hairstyle.

"Is there anything particular about hairstyle?" Zhiyao asked, vaguely sensing something.

But the next moment, a tall evil spirit appeared in the void behind everyone, and pounced towards them with its fangs and claws bared.

In an instant, Gu Du froze it, Suzuka slashed a knife across the waist of the evil spirit, and Zhiyao then took the handle of the knife and thrust it into the eyes of the evil spirit, using brute force to knock it to the ground.

It seems that we still cannot let our guard down, so Suzuka and Zhiyao began to stand guard one after the other.

"See? Hehehe...if it's not upright, it will become...like this..."

A weak voice came from the ground. Zhiyao was puzzled and looked at her.

"A powerful psychic will emit a powerful force field, attracting evil spirits in the surrounding area. The stronger the power, the wider the range." Xiao Wuhui explained for Shenhong.

So that's how it is. It seems Xiao Wuhui had said that before. Zhiyao nodded as if he understood something.

"So it must be sealed... otherwise it will never end... when I was a child... there was one time when I... woke up in the middle of the night and saw a lot... that time... I was scared... and had a psychological trauma..." Shenhong continued to narrate intermittently.

After reading the above, Zhiyao finally understood why the seal was not lifted before. This time, he made up his mind probably because of Zhendong.

There was silence for a moment, and Shenhong struggled to sit up.

Just as she was about to say she was going to leave and stand up, Gudu pressed her shoulders down and pushed her back to the ground. "Don't worry, Hinasaki, take a rest first."

"But..." Shenhong hesitated.

"We're already here, so it won't hurt to wait a little longer. Just rest. As I said, leave the vigilance to me and Suzuka." Zhiyao said as he walked to the entrance of the ceremony room, shining the flashlight inside to check if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.

"Hinasaki is not in good condition. Will Kirie take advantage of the situation?" Koto expressed his concern and looked around nervously.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuhui walked straight to another door inside the ceremony room, staring at the end of the passage. After a moment, she turned back and told Zhiyao: "Wuhui is in the Abyss of the End. I can sense it."

Zhiyao turned around and told the people outside, and Suzuka went to the door inside, holding a knife, concentrating on guarding the front. After a while, thinking that Shenhong was being taken care of by Gudu, Zhiyao went to Suzuka and Xiao Wuhui.

There was something important he needed to consult Suzuka about.

"Suzuka." A low, redundant voice sounded.

"Well, what's up?" Suzuka turned her head to the side, then immediately turned back to the front.

"You are a monster from hundreds of years ago. Would you be proficient in some Yin-Yang magic?"

"Yes, a little bit." Suzuka smiled.

"Really? That's great!" Zhiyao couldn't help but be overjoyed, feeling very happy. "Then do you have a way to close the entrance to the underworld?"

Xiao Wuhui's thoughts didn't catch up for a while, so she stood there in a daze. When she came to her senses, she tried to hold Zhiyao's hand, "Sikong, we agreed that I would..." However, before she could finish her words, Zhiyao pulled her hand out and held her head, and she was glared at with dissatisfaction.

"Shut up!"

After saying that, he turned back to Suzuka and said, "Then can you please help me later? Sealing the Yellow Springs Gate must be in the realm of Yin-Yang magic, so there will be no need for Wuhui to sacrifice herself."

"Sikong—!" Xiao Wuhui interrupted, her voice even louder this time, "I still have to atone for my sins!"

"There are many other ways to atone for your sins. There's no need to stick to just one!" Zhiyao angrily retorted.

"I am the Rope Maiden and must fulfill my unfinished duties!" Xiao Wuhui insisted.

"You are my wife too, and you must fulfill your responsibility to stay by your husband's side!" Zhiyao refused to give in.

"Can you please stop being so unreasonable?!"

"I was born like this, so what?"

Neither of them gave in and the two got into an argument. Suzuka looked at the young couple who had transcended life and death with a smile on her face, but there was a look of sadness in her eyes.

After all, what she knew were just the basics, and she was far from proficient in them. Sealing the Gate of Hell was far beyond her ability. Moreover, even if there was a way, it would require corresponding powerful props.

Chapter 68: The Final Battle

The sounds of quarreling gradually died down.

Still mad at each other, the two young lovers turned their faces away from each other. Suzuka looked melancholy at first, but then she couldn't help laughing and acted as peacemaker.

"The final battle is about to begin. Is it really okay to get upset at this time?"

Xiao Wuhui and Zhiyao glanced at her face, but no one spoke, so Suzuka continued, "The battle is over and we're saying goodbye forever. Do you want to think about the bad things about each other when you part?"

Hearing this, they were both stunned and their gazes shifted in different directions.

After a while, Zhiyao sighed lightly and sat down on the ground by the door. After sitting down, he took Xiao Wuhui's hand. Xiao Wuhui rolled her eyes in anger, but sat down next to him honestly, and finally snuggled into the arms of the man opposite.

The two hugged each other tightly.

Over there, Shenhong was taking a nap with her eyes closed. Gudu gently covered her eyelids and stretched her neck to look in this direction. She had just heard someone arguing, but now that things had quieted down, she thought there was no need for her to mediate.

About ten minutes later, Shenhong suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight.

"Let's go." Shenhong urged lightly.

Gudu hurried to follow.

Seeing Shenhong and the other person coming, Zhiyao and Xiao Wuhui quickly separated and stood up one after another.

"So soon? Have you rested enough?" Zhiyao asked worriedly.

"Wuhui didn't move from the Abyss of the End." Little Wuhui reminded.

"Thank you both for your kindness. I'm fine now. Let's get going." Shen Hong declined. "I just took a nap and heard my brother calling me in my dream."

As Shenhong spoke, she pulled away the hand that was supported by Gudu and walked to the front of the crowd. She turned back with a happy smile on her face and said meaningfully, "Sikong, Kurosawa, Miss Suzuka, Xiaowuhui, entering the Himuro residence to find my brother was originally a matter for me alone. Along the way, I unknowingly made so many companions and friends. I want to say... thank you, it's great to meet you."

The people behind laughed and walked forward one after another. Zhiyao calmly divided the crowd into two groups and let Shenhong stand in the middle to highlight her C position.

Zero, Hinasaki Crimson is the real protagonist.

In countless parallel worlds, she either died halfway or arrived at the Abyss alone, but in this world, she was with her companions.

The corridor in front of him was different from the one leading to the ghost's mouth. There was a Mingshen Gate every three or two meters. The function of the Mingshen Gate was to suppress evil. Therefore, just by looking at these dozens of Mingshen Gates connecting the passage, he knew that the place ahead was a place where no one was allowed to disturb.

After passing through one Mingshen Gate after another, everyone gradually reached the end.

Crimson looked at his companions, and after seeing their encouraging eyes, he pushed the door open himself.

Finally arrived at the abyss of the end.

Looking around, at the end was a tall stone door covered with all kinds of talismans. The door was slightly open, and next to the door, the evil Wuhui stood with her back to everyone.

Everyone immediately quickened their pace and walked forward.

As they moved forward, Wuhui, noticing someone entering, slowly turned around, and finally everyone stopped about five meters away from Wuhui.

"I didn't expect you to succeed. Congratulations." Wuhui clapped her hands and was the first to speak. "Not only did you defeat Kuki Tokisada, but you also successfully passed the corridor between the ceremonies and the back. Are you satisfied with my welcome ceremony?"

"Stop talking nonsense, where is my brother?" Shenhong said indifferently and went straight to the point.

"Asanuma? Asanuma is very good, in a very safe and private place." Kirie smiled, with a playful expression on her face.

"That's not Asanuma, that's my brother. You'd better return immediately." Crimson snorted in disdain. "Also, let me guess. The place you're talking about is the Secret Kingdom, right?"

"Quite smart." Wuhui praised indifferently, and then shifted her gaze to Zhiyao.

"Sikong."

Unlike the playful and teasing expression she showed when facing Shenhong, Wuhui's expression at this moment looked very calm. It seemed as if she had not finished speaking yet. Zhiyao nodded slightly, motioning her to continue.

"Do you really like me and really want to stay?"

Zhiyao was confused when this was brought up suddenly.

"No need to answer. I know you're serious, so I decided not to hurt you."

Zhiyao was increasingly baffled by Wuhui's plan, and was about to ask for more details when she heard Wuhui continue, "My clone is obsessed with completing that damned ritual, which will cause his soul to dissipate bit by bit. I know you don't want either of us to die, and I don't want to die either. So, you see, we're on the same page and should be companions."

There was some truth in this, and Zhiyao nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Wu Hui continued to persuade: "So as you said, there is really no need for us to fight each other. What you really need to do is to convince my clone, so that you two can be together forever."

"No!" Xiao Wuhui quickly persuaded Zhiyao loudly when she noticed that Zhiyao's heart was wavering. At the same time, she also warned Wuhui, "Wuhui, you can't continue to evade your responsibilities, and you shouldn't arrest irrelevant people and force them to stay by your side."

Wu Hui just ignored the above.

"Sikong, I know you are feeling moved, please step back first."

"Sikong, don't be tempted by her. Do you remember our agreement?"

Two voices echoed in his ears. Zhiyao looked at Wuhui and Xiao Wuhui in turn, and his eyes slowly drooped.

"I know it's hard for you to accept." Xiao Wuhui held his hand tenderly, "But, for the greater good, the miko must sacrifice herself. There's nothing we can do about it."

"It doesn't matter if the door is not closed. The miasma is only spreading within the Himuro residence anyway." Kirie interrupted.

"It was because it was not closed at the beginning that the tragedy happened later." Xiao Wuhui retorted.

"The tragedy has already happened. Even if we close it now, what good will it do? Don't forget that the ritual's effects aren't permanent. The Rope Maiden's soul will eventually be exhausted, and then the door will open again."

"At least we have fulfilled our responsibilities, and it can be regarded as compensation for our initial negligence."

The two argued, and after they finished, they looked at Zhiyao in unison, waiting for him to express his opinion.

Zhiyao was extremely conflicted. Finally, she looked at Wuhui and asked solemnly and seriously, "Can you promise not to kill anyone again? No, that alone is not enough. We must also hide the Himuro Residence forever and ensure that no one can enter it from now on."

Now that her lover has been found, it is not difficult to do the above two points. Wuhui agreed without hesitation.

"can."

"Sikong————!" Xiao Wuhui was anxious.

"Sorry." Zhiyao didn't dare to meet her gaze and avoided looking directly at her. "I really don't want you to die. Let's leave the Yellow Springs Gate open. Just like Wuhui said, the miasma won't spread outside anyway, and no one will come in again."

"You...how could you do this." Looking at Zhiyao in disbelief, Xiao Wuhui slowly stepped back, her eyes full of disappointment.

Zhiyao looked depressed and had nothing to say about this.

"Yeah, that's right, Sikong, come, come to my side." Wu Hui gently waved to him, "Your clone will understand your good intentions later, just give her some time."

However, Zhiyao did not move. After a few seconds, he sincerely requested Wuhui: "There is one more thing. Can I let Hinasaki Mafuyu go?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Wuhui's face disappeared without a trace.

"Do you know what you are talking about?"

"I told you to let Hinasaki Mafuyu go. If he leaves, the others won't stay here any longer. I'll stay with you later."

"I'll say it again. I'm not interested in you." Wu Hui rejected him indifferently. "Although I'm curious about how you made your clone change his mind, at least I know for sure that I have no feelings for you."

"There's no way to slowly build up feelings. Besides, as long as he leaves, the other person doesn't have to disappear. How great is that."

"Stop trying to change my mind. If you do that again, you'll lose all my good feelings towards you. You should know the consequences."

Wuhui's tone was cold and full of warning. It seemed that the conversation could not continue. For this, Zhiyao sighed.

"Well, I was thinking we could finally get along... I really don't want you to continue to perform your duties, because you will die, but I have never forgotten the original reason for coming to Himuro's residence, so... Anyway, let's get rid of the evil spirit in you first."

"Just you?"

After she finished speaking, Wuhui put on a smile like an evil witch, and as she opened her arms slightly, a breeze invisible to the naked eye spread out. Then, six evil spirits living in her body appeared behind Wuhui, and their fierce roars echoed on the wall of the Abyss.

"You can all come together."

As soon as Wuhui finished speaking, a spiritual power shell came flying towards her and hit her head-on. The shell exploded and the shock wave caused Wuhui's body to shake.

Although Crimson was mentally prepared, he was not blown away by the direct hit of the red film. However, one of the six evil spirits behind him suffered considerable damage because it was too close to the front. It twisted its body and let out painful howls.
