I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 571
He had to speed up the exploration of this "realm of the dead" with Thor. He really couldn't predict how long Yinglili would be able to sustain it in this space...
Ghosts don't know fear, and their bodies are hard to touch. Li Yan and Thor quickly ran towards the mountain peak. Soon, after going through some twists and turns, they arrived at the divine palace on the top of the mountain.
boom!
Li Yan turned around and suddenly closed the door behind him tightly.
"These damn bastards..."
Li Yan panted, listening to the various ghostly screams outside that made his scalp numb. After fighting and running all the way, he couldn't help but curse while gasping for air.
But he soon regretted it, and his scolding was a bit poor, because the group of evil spirits who blocked them were no longer in the world.
This one looked like a temple for sacrifices. Some corridors were very dark, and some corridors were filled with candles. He gradually had an inexplicable premonition that the time in this place might have been fixed at a certain time. A moment.
"Li, there seems to be a strange iron box there."
Thor looked curiously at this strange room. In the darkness, only a dull luster fell on an iron box. Then he pointed at the box and said to Li Yan.
"Um?"
Li Yan was slightly startled and looked over.
Indeed, there was nothing in the entire huge palace room, except for this box with a totem engraved on it.
He and Thor walked over and began to investigate this unique box.
However, after a while, Li Yan saw the corner of a black kimono pressed against the lid in the corner of the box. It should be said that this kimono was too familiar. The petal totem of the kimono seemed to be Hell Girl's standard kimono outfit.
"Miss Lianhua, Miss Yama?!"
Li Yan was stunned, quickly grabbed the cover with both hands, and lifted the entire heavy cover.
In the box, in a puddle of dark water, a black-haired girl was sleeping quietly, it was Yama Ai who had been confirmed missing by Hell.
Li Yan and Thor felt a little chill in their hearts when they saw this.
"Miss Yan Mo, wake up quickly..."
Li Yan stretched out his hand, intending to lift her out of the imprisoned iron box.
For a moment, it felt like an electric shock. The moment Li Yan touched Yama Ai, his consciousness... no, it was as if his whole body was dragged into a confused world of memory. His whole body shook suddenly. Let him show the complicated expression of shock at that moment...
swish swish...
In the dim world of memory, it kept shaking. Finally, like an ancient movie screen, a few key figures appeared in the pale world.
In a Japanese mountain village during the Warring States Period, a girl with extraordinary powers was born in this village.
One day by chance, a girl sitting under a tree picked up a dead butterfly. This butterfly came to life in the girl's hand, flapping its wings and dancing, flying in the eyes of this petite girl. The further away...
In Li Yan's eyes, the flying movements of this butterfly were so similar to the rebellious butterfly he had seen before...
In my pale memory, only butterflies are colorful.
--【see it? This kid is a monster. 】
——[Everyone will suffer disaster because of the reincarnation of this monster...]
Not far from my memory, the whispers and discriminatory looks of the surrounding villagers began to focus on this ordinary and poor little girl.
However, the memory in front of Li Yan gradually turned into a colorful world full of vitality.
After encountering rejection from the village, surrounded by indifferent villagers, only one person was willing to stand on her side. It seemed to be a young man, older than her.
——[I will always protect you, love. 】
In the colorful world of memory, the young man with a vague face who seemed to be quite handsome smiled and promised Yama Ai.
The love at that time seemed to be unquestionable.
swish swish...
Li Yan had no choice but to keep spying on the memory of the hell girl. In the blink of an eye, the flashing memory in front of him began to shake again and became unstable...
Soon, in the blink of an eye, this memory became paler and darker before Li Yan's eyes.
Yama Ai, who seemed to have grown up, was blindfolded, put on white clothes, stood under the torches held high by the villagers, and walked step by step into the pit.
"..." Li Yan stood beside the crowd like a member of the villagers' audience, watching the already slim girl pass by him with her head lowered, completely confused as to what happened.
However, a tragic scene happened.
With three crisp sounds and blood splattering, the girl's parents and herself were tied up, taken to a deep pit, and executed by being hit on the back of the head with a shovel by the villagers.
Li Yan stared blankly, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
However, this is memory, and there is nothing he can do about it. To him, all of this is as untouchable as air and objects outside him.
...He suddenly understood what was going on. This was a human sacrifice.
——[Sentaro, it’s up to you to atone for your sins this time. 】
——[In order to atone for the sin of hiding the mountain god for the past six years, you have to bury this unknown guy yourself. 】
As a result, the man who claimed to protect her for the rest of his life actually did what these villagers did out of fear...
She fell into the pit and saw with her own eyes the man who buried her alive, her eyes filled with blood and tears.
——[I have always believed in you... You said you would protect me, and I have always believed in you, deeply! 】
——[I hate you, all of you, and I will not let you go even if you die! ! 】
It was as if he could hear the almost crazy resentment in his heart, resounding in Li Yan's ears, deeply hurting the heart of this "snooper".
However, it is unclear whether it was a memory error. For a moment, the memory was confused. The figure who buried Yama Ai alive with a shovel suddenly became Li Yan himself without realizing it.
After being unable to remember that person's face, certain people with similar features will be subconsciously substituted for the vacant position.
At this scene, Li Yan realized something.
Is there anything I can do, even a sweet dream...
Li Yan dropped the shovel and stretched out his hand to grab Yan Mo Ai.
"sorry!"
Li Yan stretched out his hand hard, opened his eyes wide, and shouted towards Yan Moai in the pit.
