I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 579
In the darkness, Yinglili continued to walk, but in the dark woods, the figure did not move.
He just looked at Yinglili's back quietly.
Telling her these things was to prevent...his worst-case scenario.
Continuing to walk in the woods one after another, Li Yan noticed that there seemed to be a shadow following him behind him.
"?!"
Li Yan was about to turn around and shoot, but turned his head slightly to look.
However, unexpectedly, that figure was not another resentful spirit, nor was it a mercenary hired with a large sum of money by the mafia company to find Katori, the daughter of the gang boss, but the elusive Miss Baiju, who made it difficult to distinguish good from evil.
"Don't let that sister know about me."
Bai Ju stared at him and said coldly.
"..." Li Yan quickly fell silent.
"Now, are you ready to go down the mountain and leave here?" Bai Ju asked, walking behind.
She had no body, even though she looked like a real living person, but the rain did not wet any part of her body and passed directly through it.
"yes."
Li Yan said.
Bai Ju's eyes were dark and she said, "I originally didn't plan to interfere with your business anymore, but, I praised you for being smart before, but now I feel like you are like a fool."
"So what's the matter?" Li Yan didn't mind, maybe it was just a habit of this ghost woman.
"Speaking of which, I also listened to what the Hell Girls told you. They don't seem to want you to come here... I have always been concerned about why Kurosawa seemed to become more unstable as soon as you came here. I always felt... You have many connections with Huang Quan."
Bai Ju looked at him quietly and said: "If my guess is correct, with you by her side, it will be harder for her to go down the mountain in the end. Although this mountain is full of resentful spirits and dangers, it will not completely swallow her up. Guests who broke into this place, you are obviously very well received by hell this time..."
The slightest drizzle fell on the ground and also fell on Li Yan's face.
"The irony is that you did save the blond sister after you went up the mountain, but it was also because of you that it was difficult for her to come down the mountain. I hope my judgment is wrong... What will you do next, little brother? "
Bai Ju showed a sinister smile and asked.
Li Yan fell silent and did not reply.
"Otaku Li, why are you walking so slowly behind? Now we have to walk faster..."
At this time, Eri Sawamura noticed that Li Yan was falling further and further behind, and then turned around to remind him.
Li Yan came back to his senses and looked at Ying Lili, but when he looked back, Bai Ju was no longer there.
...These words are almost identical to the judgments of Lianhua and Yama Ai.
He also had a feeling that once he stepped into this mountain and looked at the darkness of Rishang Mountain in the distance, the darkness of this mountain seemed to be spying on him...
Li Yan looked at Ying Lili, and finally, he quickly followed her and returned behind Ying Lili.
Even if the hell under his feet really longs for his flesh and blood and soul, he must do his best to escape from here together...

Entering a tunnel again.
After walking into this tunnel in the heavy rain, Li Yan and Ying Lili were relieved. At least they no longer had to suffer from the rain.
However, this tunnel does not have any lighting equipment, and the tunnel is quite long. Although Yinglili said that this tunnel can be passed by walking straight ahead, the pitch black darkness is still a bit dangerous after all.
"Um?"
Li Yan touched the wall, then touched the ground, and said: "This tunnel always feels like it was left after mining. There are still cinders and gravel on the ground. This place has been heavily developed..."
"Yes, this place was not deserted before."
Eirili twisted her clothes, shook her hair, and explained: "This place was once a famous hot spring and cultural tourism destination. The cable car equipment is still preserved, but I heard...I heard Katori mention it However, no matter when, it seems that there is no peace here, and this mountain has always been a famous suicide holy place."
"...Eiriri, that Katori-san...did you notice before that she had thoughts of committing suicide?"
Li Yan stood up and asked.
Eri Sawamura nodded slightly and explained: "Yeah, I noticed a little early that she was going to get into trouble... She is a girl I knew before I met Renya, and we always went home together in elementary school."
"...By the way, Lun is also my childhood sweetheart. I don't know if you know him, but let's not talk about him for now. I used to be worried about others knowing about my otaku interests, not to mention that I started it very early. I drew a fanfic, if it gets spread, I will definitely be like...ahem, I will be ostracized by everyone."
Ying Lili suddenly coughed a few times and passed the information that Li Yan thought was some dark history.
The two began to cautiously walk into the dark tunnel.
"But, Katori knew... After she found out, in order to prove that she would not tell anyone, she started watching anime and drawing books, just to preserve the friendship between us."
In the darkness, Yinglili's voice sounded a little disappointed as she said.
"..."
When Li Yan heard this, he roughly understood why Ying Lili was willing to take such a risk and come here...
Ying Lili continued: "The most obvious thing is that that time I asked Lun Ye to help sell it, and all the notebooks had obviously been sold. For a notebook painter who has been in the industry for seven or eight years, this is such a happy thing... …Just like Otaku Li Ni when the eighth volume was the best-selling, this is the pride of our creators. We should be able to overcome everything and work hard towards the goal again..."
"However, I saw Katori unable to smile. At that time, I became afraid that she would take this path..."
Sawamura Eiri touched the wall and whispered.
All of a sudden, after saying this, the tunnel became quiet.
Li Yan listened silently to the movement. He seemed to hear the sound of crying. Along with the patter of rain, it reminded him of the figure of the crying girl in the Tearing Bamboo in the south of the Yangtze River.
He didn't have such a good person since childhood, and he didn't have the confidence to say that he could understand Yinglili's mood, but he knew that this was an extremely regrettable incident.
"...!"
Li Yan remembered that he also had good news as a creator. Their joint work "Super Academy War" won the title of "That Light Novel is So Awesome", but he has not told his partner until now.
Thinking of this, he hoped to comfort and change Yinglili's topic, and said: "Yinglili, there is something I want to tell you..."
However, before he finished speaking, a sound interrupted Li Yan's words.
In the tunnel, gusts of cold wind blew.
There was a rumbling sound. Li Yan had heard such a strange sound not long ago, as well as this unnatural wind.
Li Yan opened his eyes wide, and looked carefully into the distance with his eyes that were slightly adapted to the darkness of the tunnel. The tunnel was densely packed with swaying bodies, and all kinds of dead souls poured into the tunnels on both sides.
