After responding subconsciously, Zhiyao looked away with a dull expression, "If you're not going to disappear, go home quickly. I'll be leaving now."

"Where are you going?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Zhiyao sighed.

As he sighed, Crimson came over and held his hand.

"It does matter. You have to go home with me. I'm here just to wait for you."

"Go back by yourself." Zhiyao pulled her hand away. "Besides, that's not my home."

Crimson held his hand again, this time with much greater force than before, "You must go back with me, otherwise I won't go back either, and I will follow you all the way."

Suddenly, Zhiyao felt irritated.

"Can you please stop being unreasonable?"

"I have no choice but to follow." Crimson's eyes were blazing, unmoved, "Because I have a feeling you're about to die."

"Even if you die...it has nothing to do with you. Your story is over already. We are even now."

"Not yet, you still owe me."

"What do I owe you?" Zhiyao was confused. "Brother Hinasaki got you home safely. You don't have to disappear. You haven't lost anything now."

"Who said there wasn't one?" Shenhong pointed to the side.

Zhiyao looked over and noticed that there was a person standing on the right side.

She was a petite, long-haired girl with arms as thin as bamboo poles, who looked frail. She was wearing a white sleeveless top and a black short skirt and over-the-knee stockings.

Perhaps because he didn't expect to see this person in person, Zhiyao subconsciously frowned, clenched his fists, and was ready for battle. However, as his gaze moved to the girl's eyes, he noticed that there was no luster in the girl's eyes, like a life-size wax figure that was so lifelike that it could be mistaken for a real person.

"What's wrong with her?" Zhiyao asked, confusion evident in her words.

"Shen Yu, dead." Shen Hong had a sad expression on her face. "The soul was erased. You did it."

"Is he really dead?" Zhiyao swallowed his saliva solemnly.

Crimson nodded sadly.

Calming himself down, Zhiyao stretched out his finger towards Shenyu's forehead. The moment it touched Shenyu's body, it collapsed like a castle made of sand, and the remains melted into the water and slowly disappeared.

Zhiyao doesn't like Shenyu, never liked her, and always felt that she shouldn't exist. However, when he saw Shenyu disappear before his own eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

But he still won't change his mind.

Because it is necessary.

You lose a life to gain one.

If Crimson is to live, Shenyu must be erased.

"I don't like her." Zhiyao turned away calmly.

"I know, but no matter what, no matter how much I hate her, she's innocent." Shen Hong held her chest, even breathing was labored. "She couldn't decide whether to be born or not. It was me who decided to give birth. Just like you said, I did something stupid, and it was my own fault that I disappeared in the end. You should obviously hate me, but why is it Shen Yu who bears the malice?"

"I think it's worth it for her to not be able to come to this world in exchange for you and Hinasaki-san being alive."

"I understand your tendency to favor me, so I won't blame you, but Fukaba is still my most important child."

"She's so important, why would you abandon her?" Zhiyao snorted coldly, and inexplicably felt like laughing.

"I had no choice, you know. My time was almost up, and if I stayed any longer I'd be gone in two or three days at most. So I decided to save my brother's soul before I died, and fulfill my own selfish wish. Yes, I was selfish and a bastard. I abandoned Fuyu and snatched away the only person who was with Kirie. It was all my fault. Even if I went to hell, I wouldn't complain. But... you also know that Fuyu's life was not happy, and now she's been erased because of me..."

Shenhong's tone was sad and gentle, and tears were welling up in her eyes. Zhiyao felt heartbroken and her chest felt more and more uncomfortable.

"Feel sorry……"

"I don't blame you." Shenhong forced a smile.

"If it really doesn't work... I'd rather die." Zhiyao closed his eyes and rubbed his temples vigorously. "On the one hand, I can go to Wuhui with a legitimate reason, and on the other hand, I can give you an explanation."

"I don't want it!" Crimson stepped forward and grabbed his wrist. "You wanted me to live. In this case, I beg you to live with me. Is that okay?"

"This...I..."

"I don't want anything else. I just want you to continue to appear in my future life... Sikong, just think of this as compensation for me, and live for Shenyu at the same time, is that okay?" As soon as the words fell, Shenhong threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly.

No one spoke after that, and the two sides remained in a stalemate. Shenhong bit her lip to try not to let the tears flow, and Zhiyao fell into deep thought.

After a long time, as Zhiyao nodded gently, Shenhong finally felt relieved and smiled, "Then it's settled." After saying that, Shenhong once again buried herself in the arms of the other party, as happy as a child who got a favorite toy.

"I'll try my best, okay?" Zhiyao stared at the palm of her hand.

"No, you must promise. Hurry up and swear now." Shenhong refused to give in.

"Okay, okay, I swear, I'm willing to live with you. If I can't do this, I'll never be liked by any woman in my life."

Crimson was instantly satisfied.

"Yeah, I believe you."

The tone of the next sentence suddenly changed.

"Are you willing to die with me?"

Chapter 77: [Nightmare]

The voice did not sound like Crimson, and Zhiyao's gaze reflexively returned to the person in his arms. The first thing that caught his eye was two black-dyed tulips. Then, when he saw the face of the person in his arms clearly, the hairs on his body stood up.

Hinasaki Shinku turned into Kurosawa Ouse.

"Fall with me." Feng Shi had a blank expression, and his dark red pupils stared at Zhiyao.

At the same time, Zhiyao realized that the stepping sensation under his feet disappeared, and Feng Shizheng was holding him and sinking together.

Zhiyao wanted to shout "Let go", but he couldn't make any sound in the water. He tried to struggle free, but Fengshi's arms were like the bars of a solid cage, holding him tightly. No matter how he resisted, it was useless.

The visibility around was getting lower and lower. At this moment, Zhiyao broke out in a cold sweat and his brain cells were turning rapidly.

He didn't want to die without even saying a word to Feng Shi.

The next moment, with a flash of inspiration in his mind, a solution was finally formed.

Grabbing Fengshi's shoulders with both hands, Zhiyao pressed her arms down with all her strength to move her body upwards. The friction in the water was small, and with the help of buoyancy, after a moment's effort, she successfully slid out of the restraints like a loach. Then, taking advantage of the height difference, she stepped on Fengshi's shoulders with her feet and kicked hard.

In this way, success and success become more distant.

Seeing his target escape, Fengshi took off his hood, and his long hair fluttered in the water like seaweed. Knowing that Fengshi was very flexible in the water in this form, Zhiyao used his hands and feet and exerted all his strength to swim upstream.

One reason is to escape from pursuit, and the other is to regain oxygen.

Gradually, the visibility around became higher and higher, and they were about to reach the water surface. Who would have thought that the next moment, Feng Shi, who was originally following slowly below, suddenly accelerated and circled right above.

It's over now.

In an instant, Zhiyao's heart was filled with despair.

At the moment when Fengshi stretched out his hands, Zhiyao's buoyancy suddenly disappeared, and she began to fall down. Although she successfully escaped from Fengshi's claws, the result was that she fell to the ground without any protection, and her bones were almost broken.

He had just fallen for at least five seconds, but he was still conscious. Without time to think about why, Zhiyao endured the severe pain and struggled to get up. Halfway up, he noticed a square pit in front of him.

Fengshi should have fallen down as well. Maybe we can use this pit to trap her?

Just as Zhiyao was looking around, wondering where Fengshi had fallen, a clear, loud, and devilish laugh suddenly sounded behind him.

He looked towards the source of the sound and saw a short-haired girl with a red ribbon tied around her waist and blood-stained clothes. The girl maintained a smile on her face, but it made people feel creepy.

"Saju?!"

Zhiyao accidentally read out the girl's name. As soon as he finished speaking, Shazhong opened his arms and rushed towards him. He hurriedly moved to the left and dodged at the critical moment. Shazhong, who missed the attack, quickly readjusted her posture and continued to rush towards him.

Next, the two chased each other in this space, sometimes circling around the pit and sometimes running in a straight line.

The body was already in pain and the mind was highly tense. Under such circumstances, physical strength would be lost faster than usual. Gradually, Zhiyao's breathing became more and more intense and she could hardly run anymore, but Shazhong was still lively and energetic.

Thinking that it would be better to jump into the pit and have a chance of survival than to be caught and killed, Zhiyao dragged heavy steps to the edge of the pit and jumped in at the moment when Shazhong was about to catch him.

This time the pain was not as severe as when he fell to the ground before. Zhiyao looked around and noticed that it was caused by the piled up corpses forming a buffer.

When I looked up again, Sha Chong was nowhere to be seen.

Finally left.

With a look of joy at surviving a disaster on his face, Zhiyao was not in a hurry to get up, but continued to lie flat on the pile of corpses to rest, because being surrounded by corpses was better than being caught by Sha Chong.

He slowly adjusted his breathing rhythm, but when he glanced to the left inadvertently, he found that the corpse next to him on the left was different from the other corpses around him.

It was a long-haired woman, topless, with dense carvings all over her body...

Kuze Reika? !

As soon as she thought of this name, Linghua suddenly opened her eyes, scaring Zhiyao so much that she jumped like a frightened rabbit.

At the same time, Linghua also turned over on the ground and slowly got up.

In an instant, Zhiyao's heart rose to his throat. He suppressed the trembling of his legs and slowly backed away. Soon his back hit the wall. He thought he was caught in a trap and was dead this time, but his hand subconsciously touched something.

When I looked closely, I found that it was a door handle. When I looked again, I found that there was a door in this position.

Zhiyao, overjoyed, hurriedly opened the door and found a corridor with countless ropes hanging in front of her.

This is the Rope Corridor of the Himuro Residence. As for why he came here, Zhiyao didn't have time to think about it.

Because Linghua had already caught up, and a chilling intermittent howl came from his throat.

Running to the end of the corridor, Zhiyao opened the door on the left and came to the entrance of the Himuro residence. He then opened the door of the entrance and escaped into the forest outside. He thought Linghua would be unable to leave the mansion like Wuhui, but he never expected that she would rush out of the gate and chase into the woods.

Linghua's howling was still heard behind him, and before they knew it, the distance between them was slowly closing.

Just when Zhiyao felt that her legs were too heavy to lift up, a pale little hand reached out from the side. Zhiyao, whose hand was held, reflexively looked in the corresponding direction and saw a little girl with short gray hair.

"This way."

Bai Ju spoke briefly and took Zhiyao's hand, changing the direction and continuing to run. Zhiyao, who had been exhausted, was surprised to find that his strength had miraculously recovered a little, so he let Bai Ju drag him forward, always keeping an eye on Linghua behind him.

In the forest, Baiju changed direction from time to time, gradually distanced himself from Linghua. When the two ran out of the forest, the Xingshiro Shrine appeared before their eyes.

Linghua was still following behind, so Baiju took Zhiyao by the hand and entered through the door on the right, then turned around and locked the door.

As Linghua's howling outside gradually faded away, Baiju took a few steps forward and opened the door on the left.

Zhiyao remembered the map of Higami Mountain, especially the map of Kashiro Shrine, very clearly, so he thought that Baiju was going to take him to the doll room. However, after opening the first door, the second door in front was clearly the destination, but Baiju stood still and turned towards him, pointing at the door.

It meant that he wanted her to do it for him, so Zhiyao went forward and opened the door without saying a word. After opening it, he was completely dumbfounded.

It wasn't a doll stable at all, but a place I'd only visited once but would never forget—the Gai-no-Abyss of the Himuro residence.

Looking to the side, Bai Ju had disappeared without a trace. Looking at the rocks at the end of the Abyss, a girl in white clothes and long hair had her wrists tied and her arms spread out hanging there.

Longing burst out at this moment, Zhiyao's nose felt sore, and mist rose on the surface of her pupils.

Then he ran towards that direction regardless of everything.

"Kirigui!"

……

When I woke up, my forehead was covered in sweat.

There was a bright starry sky in front of him. Zhiyao wiped the sweat off his face and slowly propped himself up to sit up.

It turned out that I had just had a dream. Except for the scary part in the middle, the beginning and the end could be considered a beautiful dream.

It’s a pity that I didn’t talk to Kirie at the end, which is regrettable.

Taking out a cigarette box, Zhiyao lit a cigarette for himself and savored the plot in the dream carefully. However, there was one thing he didn't notice. From the moment he woke up, there was someone standing behind him.

It was a girl with long hair that fell over her back and wearing a white wedding dress. The girl looked at him lovingly, her eyes full of love and tenderness.

"Sikong."

Chapter 78: [From now on, I will never leave you again]

In the middle of the night, a sound suddenly came from behind her. Zhiyao was so scared that she shuddered and the cigarette in her mouth fell to the ground.

When he turned back reflexively, he was stunned.

Standing there was the girl he had been thinking about for a long time——Himuro Kirie.
