Volume 2 Rashomon of Yomi Hirasaka Chapter 26 The Curtain Rises
It was all a scam, it was a scam from the very beginning, and Li Lin actually realized this very early on.
He knew all this since the very beginning when the genie teleported him.
The Djinn's transmission is absolute.
The team was supposed to be near Yomi Hirasaka, but they went straight to Hirasaka. Isn't that a little strange? Would Kuwait University allow such a bug to happen? Even from the perspective of plot logic, it is impossible.
Therefore, the Hirasaka that was reached must not be the real Yomi Hirasaka, but her vicinity. However, this vicinity could be in terms of distance or space. And Sally's experience also proved this point. It is possible to reach Hirasaka, but a physical body is needed. However, the physical body will be blocked by the barrier, which is a false proposition.
Then the real answer is obvious. The real Hirasaka is on the other side of the world, and it is impossible to reach the Hirasaka world without a physical body. Then the final ending of this world is obvious. The reason why there are so many shikigami and barriers is also clear.
Because this is not a real land at all, this is the overturned underworld, a world not far from Hirasaka.
"Your sister is fine. I just pushed her into the water with my spirit hand."
After sitting on the ground and cutting off the blood threads, Li Lin turned his head and explained to the girl with a smile:
"Doesn't your sister have a set of clothes that she agreed to wear with you? And Sallys just needs a good reason to merge with this alien space. Since we are all sacrificed, it's okay to swallow them all, right? There is no better material than the sealed monsters."
"So I decided that your request is exactly the same as my plan. I will kill the Lord of the Underworld, and his power will be fed to Sallys. And your sister and you will be safe. How about it? A perfect plan, right? Oh, now that I think about it, my brain is too smart. I figured out the operable areas and options in the game so quickly. Well, maybe I should say that this is how the game is set up?"
"But in short, there is nothing wrong with your sister. She should be anxiously waiting for news in the outside world, right? But it doesn't matter, just wait for two more days. It will take time for Sallys to devour the surrounding space."
"...Wait a minute, Sally, are you referring to that cute little girl?"
Looking at Li Lin with a happy smile on his face, the girl who had regained consciousness suddenly felt an unnatural chill and looked at him in disbelief.
"That little girl who had a warm smile, who always followed you around, who would get angry even when I went out with you to do something, and who looked so cute that it was unbelievable? You just killed her?"
"Yes, that's right. Because the undead will definitely not believe it, and I can't find a suitable candidate at the moment. It just so happens that Sally needs to leave her body so that she can consume the power of the Lord of the Underworld as a great demon. What do you think I have been doing for so long? On the one hand, I am awakening the Lord of the Underworld, and on the other hand, I am waiting for Sally to consume everything here."
"…Who is she?"
"Great demon, have mercy on the great demon. The flesh is but a shell, the spirit is the essence of the soul."
Li Lin shrugged and stretched lazily with a relaxed look on his face.
"Ah~ It's so refreshing to finally reveal all the plans and arrangements for something like this. The mission is completed, and Sallys will probably have to eat for a while. I'll give you the power in your soul fragment. I'll take the rest, do you mind?"
"No……"
"That's all, just wait a moment--"
Li Lin was talking excitedly , but suddenly he frowned. A short ringing sound came from his mind.
This was not a notification sound in the game, but a message alarm that appeared when someone came in real life. Only someone who came to see him specifically would send out such a short and sharp alarm.
If it was a courier, you could just ignore it, but the feeling of being stubborn and refusing to give up was not something a courier could do. After thinking about it, Li Lin said to He, "Take care of my body," and then went offline in the stunned expression of the girl.
There was no other way. If I went offline directly, I would faint physically. If I didn't tell this girl well, she would be killed by Sally. Then I wouldn't know who to ask for the task reward. Although I didn't expect this little girl to give me any good rewards, after all, I had killed the Lord of the Underworld, but even a mosquito leg is meat.
“…”
As if emerging from underwater, Li Lin slowly opened his eyes.
The pale ceiling was still lit with a soft light. The coldness of the real world quickly cooled his skin, which had been heated up by his victory in the game. The figure with long hair in the mirror gradually calmed down, and the dark red color on his face gradually faded, turning into a pale face without any emotion.
It's just a game.
Li Lin rubbed his face and sighed as he listened to the shrill doorbell outside.
"Here I come, here I come, who is it?"
Who is this? They are having a great time.
Li Lin rubbed his overly long hair, sat up from the chair, put on his slippers, and opened the door.
Standing outside the door were two dignified men in black. The codes and components on the prosthesis were exposed to the air without a care. Looking at the eye-catching barcode and X model on his forehead, Li Lin raised his eyebrows slightly and sighed imperceptibly.
"Ah...it's you..."
"Numbering officer Li Lin, we are from the review team, please cooperate with us."
The cold mechanical voice seemed to have even undergone prosthetic transformation of the vocal cords. Could such a thing really be called a human?
Looking at the two strong men who seemed to have walked off the production line, with the same body shape and standards, who could tell whether their cores were male or female, or something else? Especially in today's era of great development of AI, it is unclear whether the two people are genetic tissues and brains, or electric currents and data flows.
Ten years later, after two generations of technological progress, everything has become so strange. Perhaps the only thing that has not changed is the human pursuit of fantasy and art. Over the past hundred years, thousand years, ten thousand years, the form has changed but the core has not changed.
"Please do not engage in meaningless thinking activities. The next period of time is a period of mental review. Please be responsible for your mental health."
"Feel sorry……"
Please come in.
After all, it's that time again.
Li Lin tucked the hair on his temples behind his ears, bit his lip, sighed softly, and slowly moved away.
