Volume 2 Rashomon of Yomi Hirasaka Chapter 22 The Truth
It was as if he was a different person. No, it should be said that he was a different person.
Although the appearance was still the same, the being in front of him was not walking on the ground, but was lifted up in the air by an unknown force. Countless wheels and Mansa Zhuhua patterns quietly emerged behind him, floating behind him under the influence of an unknown force, contrasting with the red mark spreading on his face.
If it is the current existence, Li Lin can say with certainty that the person in front of him is very beautiful. The dark red half-open eyes swallowed and spit out some dangerous light. Although wearing a plain dress, the blood on the ground rolled up under some abnormal will and turned into a natural dye, fluttering around like a butterfly, dyeing the white clothes lining with a stunning red.
It is so breathtakingly beautiful.
His long hair sparkled under the halo behind him. He looked as sacred as a holy king even though he was in purgatory.
The contradictory yet beautiful woman floated in front of Li Lin, and out of respect she also landed on the ground, staring at him with a pair of red eyes, as if she was looking for some secret from him.
'System prompt: Lord of the Underworld' and 'Has arrived!'
"Sure enough, my judgment will not be wrong."
'You haven't answered my question yet.'
He seemed to think that describing with his lips was a very vulgar thing, and frowned slightly, and asked in a neutral voice with a slight dissatisfaction that echoed in Li Lin's mind.
'Why were you able to discover my existence? My plan was obviously perfect. The soul and the body are all real. I just added a factor to them. Why was it exposed? And why would a person like you get involved in a small country town like mine?'
"Perfect? Sorry, I'm just doing my job."
Looking at the Lord of the Underworld in front of him, Li Lin shrugged and pointed to the lights faintly visible in the mist on the other side of the river.
"It's going to be a long story anyway, why don't we go over there and talk while we walk. I'm also wondering why you think your plan is perfect."
"That's fine. But the other side is where living beings enter... "
I was worrying too much.
After taking a look at Li Lin's human body that seemed normal, the Lord of the Underworld shook his head imperceptibly, floated up gently, and flew slowly over the river.
The faint sounds of crying and laughing on the river bank gradually disappeared, and turned into the sound of gentle flowing water and swaying branches. It seemed that the Lord of the Underworld was the absolute home court on the other side. Whether it was the sacredness still floating behind her or the holy sound that changed at will, everything was demonstrating the power of the Lord of the Underworld.
Even though he was sealed and his plan was destroyed, he was still the master of the underworld and the king of the dead world.
"But what is not worth caring about to the Lord of Huangquan is very worthy of ."
'Why do you say that?'
"The gap in materials and quantity. There is a most serious flaw in your plan."
Following behind the Lord of Huangquan, Li Lin stared at the seemingly frail figure, licked his lips and said with a smile:
"Actually, I have always wanted to ask you a question. Why do you think that a girl inexplicably heard the call of the voice in her head and was so obsessed with believing that it was a call from the underworld, and that her sister had a big problem?"
'Indeed, I didn't think it through.'
"And there's also the issue of Wu He You Jing. Judging from her performance, she doesn't look like she can see through illusions at all, but she appeared in Ling Fang Bookstore unimpeded. Don't you think there's a big problem here? A powerless little girl relying on a weird idea and asking for help from a stranger without knowing anything?"
'It is my fault that I think the accident should be erased, and it is indeed my fault. It should not be so in this case.'
"And that so-called voice, can it penetrate countless barriers and the gap between reality and directly reach my mind? When my partner and I were teleported here, we were even identified by the barrier as being in a state of separation of soul and body and got stuck on the barrier. What level of soul conversation can directly penetrate so many barriers and reach the dream? Moreover, the dream itself is where the soul is. If you reach the dream unless there is an order or you are completely defenseless, there will definitely be deviations and modifications. So there is only one possibility I can think of, and that is that it is in her mind."
'That makes sense. Could you please tell me in detail what else I did wrong?'
"It's not right to talk about the state of the dead. First of all, this has to do with trauma psychology and the human body's instinctive reaction..."
As if they were conducting some kind of social discussion, the two of them walked slowly forward along the bank of the Sanzu River, one after the other, talking about the loopholes in the plan .
Not too long after, or after crossing a certain barrier, a dark red wooden bridge was seen not far ahead. The red bottom plate and the wooden stakes inserted into the water looked so dazzling. The Lord of the Underworld, wearing a red and white butterfly robe, flew up and stood in front of the bridge, looking quietly into Li Lin's eyes.
"As expected of a notorious villain, even though I have been imprisoned here for many years, I can still feel your rarity and wisdom."
Floating on the scarlet bridge, the Lord of the Underworld clasped his hands together. The totems and patterns behind him became brighter and brighter, and countless blood-red cherry blossoms were dancing around him.
'But now, the auspicious time is coming, and I will return to Hirasaka and return to my divine position. After my soul and body return to their place, this woman's body and soul will merge with mine. After I am reborn into flesh and blood, we can drink and talk in the real world and exchange some experiences with each other, okay?'
"No, I can't leave now."
'What are you for? Just a piece of flesh and blood?'
“No.”
Looking at the beautiful appearance of the Lord of the Underworld with a slightly frown on his brows, Li Lin smiled even warmer and brighter.
"You don't want to give up your flesh and blood, and you want to unite your spirit with me to break the seal. The living sacrifice is this girl's body and soul. In other words, you want me to give up my own mission, right? That won't do."
"So, I'm here to kill you."
