"No rush." ​​Zhiyao checked the time on her watch. "It's still early for two hours. I need to go to the Abyss."

"The Abyss of the End?" Xili asked, "Where is that?"

"Where the Yellow Springs Gate is located is also where Wu Hui's true form is located."

Beside her, Wu Hui interrupted, "You can't go there."

"Why?" Zhiyao was dissatisfied.

"We can't let two of you living people get close to that place." Wuhui answered with a firm attitude.

"Oh, wife..." Zhiyao smiled foolishly with a shy face.

"Don't call me wife since we're not married yet." Wuhui turned her face away, unshakable.

"...Baby." Zhiyao changed to a more intimate name.

"It's no use calling you baby." Wuhui still had a cold face and was unmoved.

When it comes to her duties as a shrine maiden and her lover's health, Kirie has always been principled and never changes her mind easily.

"It's a rare opportunity, I want to hug you."

"Just bear with it, there's nothing we can do about it."

"It's uncomfortable to endure it."

"I feel even more uncomfortable if it endangers your health."

Xili quietly watched the young couple flirting, and suddenly she felt an indescribable subtle feeling.

Through the conversation just now, she learned about Kirie's life and the rope-breaking ceremony, and also learned that Kirie, like Onise, was suffering alone for the sake of the world. Even so, the two people gave her completely opposite feelings.

Although surrounded by resentment in the world, Wuhui is cheerful and outgoing.

She looks hateful to the world, but Wuhui is dignified and beautiful.

She thought that all this should be attributed to Sikong Zhiyao. At the same time, she was thinking how nice it would be if Fengshi could be purified like Wuhui, and then talk to her in a friendly manner, instead of dragging her to the bottom of the lake when they met, and then forcing her to go to war with her.

"Let him go. With my protection, he should be fine for a short time."

The voice of Yaobo Ji sounded beside her, interrupting her thoughts. At the same time, Zhiyao became happy as if she had found a treasure.

"Did you hear that? Babai has spoken. If she says it's okay, then it really is okay."

There was really nothing Wu Hui could do about Zhiyao, so she had to give in. "Okay, okay, okay, I'll allow you to stay for five minutes, not a second more."

"Five minutes is too short, how about... ten minutes?" Zhiyao begged timidly, trying to extend the time.

"Don't push your luck." Wu Hui looked away. "Just five minutes."

"ruthless."

"Four minutes is fine."

Zhiyao was shocked.

"Five minutes is enough, that's it!"

After climbing down the escalator to the Moon Well, not long after, everyone arrived at the door at the end of the Myojinmon corridor. Then, just like last time, as soon as the door opened, Zhiyao saw Suzuka standing opposite to greet him.

"You're here again, Sikong. Well, this time you've brought a new face with you."

"Ah, Suzuka, long time no see. You can chat with Yuri by yourself. I'll excuse myself for now." After responding to Suzuka perfunctorily, Zhiyao walked around her and hurried to the Gate of the Underworld. After arriving, he hugged Wuhui's real body without saying a word.

In the distance, Xili was staring at the Gate of the Underworld. She was so focused that she even forgot to respond to the call from the side.

Chapter 102: [Gathering Together]

The stone door in front of her led to another world. Xili stood in front of the door, her hand unconsciously raised and placed on the door.

Then, the moment it was pasted on, the scene in my field of vision changed.

Several men in clergy attire stood on both sides of the door. In the middle, a man who looked like a leader and wore a demon mask was holding a hemp rope stained red with blood.

Just as the leader-like man was fixing the hemp ropes on the left and right sides of the door, the next moment, the door began to vibrate violently, followed by a sound like glass breaking behind him, and the hemp rope broke into two pieces. The door opened, and a gust of air swept in his face.

Xili thought that this should be a replay of the scene when the ceremony failed, just like watching the story of the deceased and seeing the lid of the coffin suddenly open and the night spring gushing out from inside.

A hand reached out from the side and grabbed Xili's collar. As the owner of the hand dragged her backwards, the scene in front of Xili returned to normal.

"It's better not to touch it." Zhiyao said indifferently, his arm across Xili's chest. "Although the miasma has been recovered, the other side of the door is still corroded by the miasma. People with psychic physiques like us might see strange things if we come into contact with it."

That's absolutely right, Xili nodded.

When her eyes moved to the glowing mirror behind her, Xili asked Zhiyao with a hint of concern: "What is this?"

"The Imperial Mirror," Suzuka answered for Zhiyao, "is used to drive away the evil spirits behind the door that attempt to possess the soul of the miko."

"If you have any questions, just ask Suzuka." Zhiyao next to her instructed Xili, and after that she threw herself into Wuhui's arms again and hugged her tightly.

He thought that he had little time to stay, so he had to hurry up and make love. Wuhui looked up and down at the man who was hugging her tightly, and happiness filled her heart.

Five minutes passed quickly, and Wuhui raised her knees to push Zhiyao away.

"Time's up, let's go."

Zhiyao looked around, moved the big stone from last time and placed it in front of Wuhui, then stepped on it, held his wife's cheek and kissed her goodbye.

After their lips parted, Zhiyao came down from the stone and waved his hand reluctantly, "Wife...I'm leaving now."

"Let's go, hurry up, hurry up." Wuhui urged in an indifferent tone.

Sighing, Zhiyao showed a helpless smile, turned around and slowly walked away. When he reached the ground, he patted his chest several times to summon the spirit of Wuhui in his body.

"From now on, I'll come here once a month," he announced, and before Wu Hui could express her opinion, he finalized the matter. "I'll only stay for five minutes each time, and during that time, Yabai will protect me to ensure I'm not affected by the Yellow Springs Gate. That's it."

He actually meant once a week.

However, the distance is too far and it is inconvenient to communicate here, so we are forced to extend the period.

"Okay, okay, I promise you." Kirie smiled.

"This is temporary, and the cycle will continue to shorten in the future." Zhiyao went with the flow.

Wuhui did not make any statement on this matter, while Zhiyao was planning to get a driver's license and buy a car.

……

When we reached the bottom of the mountain, the car was still in the same position.

As the distance between the two sides got closer, Zhiyao saw Lian leave the passenger seat and came towards him with high spirits.

"You're back, Zhiyao."

"Yes." Zhiyao handed over the camera, "I took pictures of everything worthwhile. You can take your time choosing when you get home."

The three of them boarded the car, which then headed back toward the city. Zhiyao initially thought Youyu would drop her and Xili off at the shrine entrance, but she gradually realized they were on the wrong route. When the car stopped, they saw an apartment building in front of them.

"Where is this?" Zhiyao asked out of curiosity.

"My home." Lian smiled brightly, "You still have to accept my interview."

Doesn’t Kurosawa Rei live in a two-story villa? How could her home be an apartment? Zhiyao couldn’t help but feel confused. But then she thought again and thought that maybe they moved into the villa later.

As they were going upstairs, Zhiyao asked seriously, "How much are you planning to pay for the interview?"

"Is there a fee for this?" Lian couldn't help but wonder, then a resentful look appeared on her face, and her voice was muffled, "Why are you so obsessed with money? Can't this be a complimentary service...Okay, okay, another 20,000 will do."

Zhiyao never expected that this woman would be so honest.

But this money will not be collected.

Because I was just talking nonsense.

"I'm just kidding, Sister Lian. You're such a kind person, how could I possibly charge you so much?"

Who would have thought that Lian would become more excited, first looking at him with a squint, then retorting in a coquettish tone: "You are greedy to begin with."

"Because I'm not familiar with you." Zhiyao defended.

"We call each other by name, how can we not be familiar with each other?" Lian expressed her dissatisfaction.

"You don't even know anything about me, and I know very little about you either."

As soon as the words fell, the topic came to an end with Lian's words. Next, Lian used the key to open the door and led the two guests into the house.

Before entering the door, Zhiyao found that Youyu had not followed him. He looked back and asked casually, "Where is Brother Aso? Does he live here too?"

"No," Lian replied, "Youyu lives somewhere else, but we'll be moving in together soon."

Zhiyao thought it must be referring to the villa, and stopped asking questions.

The interview went smoothly and took only half an hour. During the interview, Lian asked various questions and Zhiyao answered selectively. He also revealed some information about the Eye Hidden Ceremony and the Rope Breaking Ceremony. Then when Lian asked impatiently whether he had brought out the manuscript recording these things, Zhiyao replied that he felt that the things were very evil so he did not bring them last time, but when he went in again this time, he found that the things were gone.

Finally, whether there are any evil spirits inside.

Zhiyao: "I don't know, anyway I haven't seen it."

……

It was almost five o'clock when they left Lian's apartment. Having accomplished so many things in one afternoon, Zhiyao felt extremely fulfilled and full of a sense of accomplishment.

There were suddenly two brand new ten-thousand-yuan banknotes in her wallet. Thinking of having dinner out tonight, Zhiyao took Xili to a bustling area, and then when they passed by a clothing store, she suddenly had an idea and pulled Xili in.

"No thanks." Xili immediately understood what this person was planning. She looked at herself and declined calmly.

"It won't be a problem to have one more set." Zhiyao insisted.

"I already have four sets, enough for changing." Xili insisted.

"But, only two of them are new, aren't they? The other two are old clothes from Crimson and Ancient Capital. Since they bought them both for you, I think I should show some appreciation. After all, I picked you up."

Xili found the last wording awkward, but she couldn't think of how to refute it.

Then I heard Zhiyao continue to say:

"If it doesn't work, you should buy me a set as a return gift next time."

"I have no money." Xili sighed.

"So you have to work. Once you get your ID card, you can work and earn money."

"Yes, then I'll come back after I make some money." Xili said and quickly walked out of the clothing store. Seeing this, Zhiyao hurriedly followed her out.

"Are you sure you don't want it?" Zhiyao tried to seduce him. "I bought this as a gift for you. You'd better think it over carefully, hehe."

"I have enough winter clothes, no need." Xili looked calm and not affected at all.

It felt like being rejected, and Zhiyao lost all interest in an instant.

He paused, went to a nearby convenience store to change some coins, and when he came back he stuffed five thousand-yuan bills into Xili's pocket.

"Ah, I don't..." Xili took it out immediately and prepared to return it.

Zhiyao, who had anticipated this, stepped back and ignored him, muttering to herself, "This is pocket money for you. I don't have much here, so be frugal."

After saying that, Zhiyao took another step back, then turned around gracefully and looked back to the side.

"I'll take you to a nice meal tonight, so hurry up and follow me."

As his head turned back, Zhiyao began to walk forward on his own. Behind him, Xili followed subconsciously. Unconsciously, she recalled what Zhiyao said last night in her mind again.

"You are not alone in this world, and you don't have to feel like you are an alien."

In Xili's current opinion, Zhiyao was absolutely right.

because……

Zhiyao, whose identity is also different from that of ordinary people, has integrated very well here.

as well as……

He never gave himself the chance to be alone.

……

January 1st is New Year's Day, which is also the internationally recognized New Year.

On this day every year, the shrine is particularly busy because there are many visitors coming to worship and ask for fortune, especially between 9 and 10 in the morning, which is the peak period of peak hours.

At this moment, every area within sight was filled with dense crowds of people, filling the courtyard like a swarm of locusts.

Under such circumstances, even Gu Du, who has never worked and cared about his family business, and Xili, who stays in her room every day and rarely shows up in public, began to come forward to help maintain order.
