When the car stopped, it was still night.
Suzumiya Yuki parked her car in a nearby parking lot.
Reina Ishihara picked up the backpack she had prepared in advance.
The backpack contained quite a few things, including food, art supplies for Reina Ishihara, and a power bank.
Liang Gongxue held Yeyu in her arms, while Fengzejian took nothing but his phone and charger.
"Sister Lina, how about I carry it for you?"
Reina Ishihara resolutely refused.
"No need, I can manage on my own. I've been watching short videos lately, and they say that people who stay at home should take the opportunity to go out more."
Looking at Reina Ishihara's long, slender legs and firm curves, Kazema couldn't help but tease her:
“You get quite a bit of exercise even at home.”
Reina Ishihara rolled her eyes at Kazema.
"Little brother, how dare you say that? I always have to do it myself. You don't even know how. It's exhausting for me."
Feng Zejian shrugged.
"It's you who's thirsty, not me. You need to understand the supply and demand relationship."
Reina Ishihara retorted, "While that is true, happiness is mutual, and it's heartless of you to say that."
“I have a conscience, but what about you? You still took advantage of someone in distress.”
"When did I take advantage of someone in distress?"
Chapter 350 Humans Stop Ahead
Feng Zejian smiled and said, "Yesterday, when I was in a daze, I vaguely saw a familiar outline in front of me. Who do you think that outline was?"
Reina Ishihara started acting spoiled.
"I don't know, it might be a dream. Don't slander people so easily, or you'll get a lawyer's letter."
"Haha, so you know this trick too."
"Of course, I surf the internet too, okay?"
Feng Zejian sneered.
"You've shown your chicken feet, haven't you, Little Blackie?"
"Remember to bring your chicken feet to court."
"I am a pure deer person, I don't have chicken feet."
"Hahaha."
Feng Zejian looked at the already dark sky.
"Do we really have to go under these circumstances, or should we find a place to rest for the night?"
Suzumiya Yuki replied, "It's about an hour's walk from here, and there are places to rest over there."
Upon hearing this, Feng Zejian said nothing more and continued walking.
After walking for almost an hour, the three arrived at a bamboo forest, where Ryoko Yuki stopped.
The night rain trembled as Ryougu Yuki gazed into the depths of the bamboo forest.
"That's it, everyone stick close to me."
Kazema took Ishihara Reina's hand and followed Suzumiya Yuki into the bamboo forest.
Reina Ishihara blushed slightly.
"I never thought you'd blush."
Reina Ishihara said coquettishly, "You little brat, I'm only in my twenties and I get shy too."
The three walked in the bamboo forest for a while. There were no signs of anyone walking through the bamboo forest. The ground was covered with fallen leaves, and there was the sound of the wind blowing through the bamboo.
The wind was rather biting at this time.
The three continued on their way, and the bamboo forest that had previously been without a path suddenly became a stone-paved path, with the sound of wind chimes swaying all around them.
Some strips of cloth and teru teru bozu (Japanese teru bozu dolls) drifted in the wind, adding a touch of eeriness to the atmosphere under the moonlight.
And then comes the main event.
The surrounding scenery suddenly changed; the bamboo forest was no longer filled with strips of cloth and teru teru bozu dolls, but with skeletons and corpses.
The sound of the wind and the wind chimes turned into a mournful wail.
Kazema wasn't afraid, but he was more worried about Ishihara Reina's condition.
Turning around, I found that Reina Ishihara was unharmed.
"Sister Reina, isn't this scene scary?"
"It's terrible."
"Then why don't you seem to have any change in mood?"
Reina Ishihara was stunned for a moment, then threw herself into Kazesawa's arms.
"Little brother, I'm scared. Hug me, I'm scared."
Kazema didn't say much about Reina Ishihara's overly theatrical behavior.
Feng Zejian could sense the endless resentment around him, but these resentments had no effect other than frightening people.
Like a vicious dog chained up.
Putting aside the fact that it was restrained, a vicious dog is just a vicious dog.
The three walked for a while longer. The bamboo forest had disappeared, and most of the area on both sides was open space with a few scattered trees. The path was still there, but around the path were broken knives, some with their hilts stuck in the ground, some with their tips stuck in the ground, some lying horizontally, and some stuck at an angle.
Knives hung from the tree, clashing together in the wind and making a series of sounds, just like the wind chimes from earlier.
The previous experience was probably an illusion, and the creator of the illusion was these broken swords. Hearing the sound of the broken swords caused everyone to hallucinate.
Once you cross this road, you'll see houses lit up in the distance.
Just as everyone continued on their way, a strong gust of wind blew by.
Everyone instinctively closed their eyes, and when they opened them again, a girl with fluffy hair, wearing a dark yellow kimono and a black and red hair ornament, appeared before them.
The girl's eyes were covered with cloth, and she spoke to the group in an icy tone:
"Humans, halt ahead."
Feng Zejian looked at the blindfolded girl in front of him and asked, "Aren't you human?"
"No, humans are not welcome here."
Suzumiya Yuki stepped forward.
"Sister Wind and Sand, you're still the same as before."
The girl trembled slightly, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Is that Xue Meimei's voice?"
"Yes, I'm back. How is everyone?"
"Qingmei and Hai Ran have already left."
Suzumiya Yuki paused.
"Have they found their place again?"
"Sister Xue, why did you bring other people with you?"
"These are all my good friends, don't worry, nothing will happen."
The girl remained silent, finally letting out a helpless sigh.
"Alright, bring your friends and come with me."
Reina Ishihara's gaze remained fixed on the girl named Fuusa, her expression somewhat subtle.
"What's wrong, Reina-nee?"
Reina Ishihara shook her head.
"We'll talk about it later."
The sandstorm carried the group to their guest room.
"Big sister is entertaining guests. These two rooms are for the two people you brought, Xue-meimei. Your room is still available."
Suzumiya Yuki's expression remained calm, but she was deeply moved inside.
"I never thought I would have a place here."
"What are you saying? We're family."
"That night rain is something else, it comes back but doesn't come out."
Night Rain trembled and broke free from Ryoko Yuki's body.
She transformed into a 1.7-meter-tall mature woman in a black uniform, making the girl's 1.5-meter height seem rather insignificant in comparison.
“I said, you still have this lecturing look on your face, even though you’re just like a little kid.”
The girl smiled and retorted, "You don't look that much more mature."
The wind and sand and the night rain stared at each other.
The wind and sand opened their arms wide.
"Welcome home, Night Rain."
The night rain also opened its arms, bending down to embrace the wind and sand.
Kazema and Reina Ishihara exchanged a glance and entered the room.
Reina Ishihara, unusually, didn't joke with Kazesawa, but instead put down her backpack, picked up her easel, and began to paint.
This place is rather rustic, but surprisingly, it has power.
Sure enough, neither monsters nor humans wanted to be eliminated by the new era.
The room was brightly lit, and Reina Ishihara began to paint.
Reina Ishihara first drew Yoru's true form, and then drew Yoru's human form.
Next is the human form of the sandstorm.
After that, Reina Ishihara drew a somewhat broken tachi, including the patterns on the tachi, the carvings on the handle, and the fluffy tassels on the handle.
It was as if this was the girl's true form.
"Reina-nee, is this the prototype of the girl you imagined?"
Reina Ishihara shook her head.
"This is not what I saw."
As he spoke, he looked at Feng Zejian.
When Feng Zejian saw those eyes, he was completely dumbfounded.
Reina Ishihara's sclera turned red, while her pupils were black surrounded by white.
Isn't this the Eye of Truth?
"Sister Reina, what's wrong with you...?"
"I was born with these eyes. Because of these eyes, I can see a lot of things. But because of these eyes, I don't have many friends. It's not that these eyes are ugly, it's just that these eyes can always see things that I shouldn't see."
"However, as your older sister gets older, I've started to be able to control this ability. Because I've gotten used to it, I've become accustomed to some of the more terrifying scenes and images."
Chapter 351 The Tomb of the Vengeful Blades, the Thousand Blade Pavilion
Feng Zejian pondered.
