Chapter 61: Rebirth in the Fire

Kazukage Yayoi eliminated the deception of Morobushi Keiko and held the necklace tightly in his hand. He jumped lightly, climbed over the railing and jumped down from the tall building. In a few breaths, he had arrived at the scene of the accident.

The broken toy museum had been blown into ruins starting from the third floor. The steel bars twisted and stretched into the sky, and the cement blocks turned into gray hailstones, which kept falling from the sky. The billboards on the street fell in half, and the exposed wires flashed with crackling flames. The bricks and stones on the ground were smashed, forming sharp corners, cutting through this devastated place.

Looking around, the streets were littered with overturned items, clothes, backpacks, food, drinks, all in a mess. In the door shops on the street, there was still cheerful music playing, probably because someone's doorbell was broken, and it kept playing "Welcome".

The nearby shops were blown to pieces, and the whole street was engulfed in flames, along with traces of flammable materials. Explosions continued in the sky, and the sirens of police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances seemed to be accompanying the drumbeats. Several streams of water flowed down from a distance, but they were just moths to a flame, and disappeared halfway.

Kazuki Yayoi lowered her eyes and reached out to pick up a squashed doll on the ground. The little bear was dirty, and the sweet syrup had stained its brown body. The buttons on its eyes had also come loose. Kazuki Yayoi gently helped it put its fallen eyes back in place.

This belongs to a child holding a doll and drinking Coke.

Kazukage Yayoi dusted the little bear off and placed it neatly on the seat, just as its owner usually did.

Two bodies were lying not far away, one of them had his head and back smashed into a bloody mess. The man was holding the child tightly in his arms, but the child had already stopped breathing.

Seven badly mutilated bodies lay under the rubble with their backs to the Toy Museum. The two policemen with the most serious injuries could still be vaguely seen with their arms clasped in a protective posture, but the ruthless explosion not only took their lives, but also the people they were trying to protect.

The child in the young policeman's arms died of broken ribs that went straight into his heart. The legs of the young man in the old policeman's arms were completely separated from his body. There was also a couple in the alley across the street. They hugged each other so tightly before they died that the fire after their death burned them into an inseparable whole.

Along with the cheerful "Welcome", Zhu Fu Jingguang felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet.

He looked grimly at the scene of hell on earth. He looked around and saw seven souls standing there in confusion. The two policemen looked at their own bodies in shock, and were sad to find that the child they were protecting was also dead. They were standing by and crying. The young policeman came forward and pulled the girl away, trying to prevent her from seeing her body. The dead couple, they were crying and laughing, still hugging each other and talking.

Zhu Fu Jingguang's expression relaxed, and he then remembered that he was also a person in the afterlife. Although they were dead, there was still room for them to communicate.

He was about to step forward to talk, but he saw Yayoi Kazukage next to him stretched out his hand. An invisible attraction came from his fingertips, which made Morobushi Kagemitsu understand the other party's intention.

Seeing this, Zhu Fu Jingguang had no choice but to shout: "Wait a minute!"

He Jing Yayoi stopped his actions obediently, turned his head to Zhu Fu Jing Guang and asked confusedly: "What's wrong?"

"I want to know, what will happen if they are absorbed?" Zhu Fu Jingguang suddenly realized that death does not necessarily mean the end. He can still see them and they can still communicate normally, but if they are absorbed by Kazukage Yayoi, he will never see those three souls in the hospital again!

"They will become raw energy and become a part of my energy." He Jing Yayoi paused, understood the subtext that Zhu Fu Jingguang did not say, and explained: "If you want to say what will happen if I don't absorb them, it's the same, but they will gradually dissipate in the world. You see that they are still the same as when they were alive because they just died. In less than half an hour, they will lose their self-consciousness and be actively absorbed by me." He couldn't understand what the world line was thinking now. Of course, it would be better to be absorbed by him than to be absorbed by the world line.

Zhu Fu Jingguang did not hesitate at all and immediately suggested, "But they are still conscious and can talk normally. They are no different from being alive. At least, let me ask them if they have any last words. After all, they died too suddenly."

"I will absorb them and take over their memories. If it is their last words or unfinished business, there is no need to do this..." Looking at Zhu Fu Jing Guang's pleading and disapproving eyes, Kazukage Yayoi could only sigh, "Okay, go ahead. The police are coming soon. I can't stay here for too long."

Zhu Fujing is just a weapon spirit. Now that he has removed the sleight of hand, others cannot see him. But he is a living person. When the police come later, they will surely catch them all.

Hearing this, Morobushi Kagemitsu finally smiled. As expected, Yayoi Kazukage was very tolerant of humans and him. Even when he was interrupted and refuted, he did not have any negative emotional fluctuations. Although on the one hand it was indeed out of sympathy for the deceased, it was actually also out of testing Yayoi Kazukage. Now that he was very satisfied with the result of the test, Morobushi Kagemitsu thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, Yayoi, I will do it as soon as possible."

He Jing Yayoi watched Zhu Fu Jing Guang run away, and quickly called the seven souls over. Zhu Fu Jing Guang seemed to say something, and the seven people looked at him. He Jing Yayoi sighed helplessly and walked over under the burning gazes of the crowd.

The old policeman frowned, looked at Kazukage Yayoi seriously, stretched out his hand behind him, showing a slight intention of protecting everyone.

"Are you the god of death?"

He Jing Yayoi nodded. He was not in the habit of explaining these things to humans. Although he sympathized with these seven people, after all, their deaths were inevitably related to him, but he really didn't know what to say, so he could only summon the sickle silently.

Seeing the black hooded cape appear out of nowhere, the young man next to him murmured in a daze: "I didn't expect that the fairy tales I read when I was a child were all true."

He Jing Yayoi paused with his sickle in his hand. It was not entirely true. At least in this world, there was no underworld where they could be judged for what they did in their lifetime. However, he said nothing.

The little girl cried non-stop when she saw her parents weren't around, but now she stopped crying. She opened her big watery eyes and timidly asked, "Where will Yinyin go after you take her away?"

When asked about the key point, Yayoi Kazukage thought for a moment and said, "It will become a part of me. Although I can't do it now, I will recreate the lifeline and give birth to a new life later."

This is not a lie, I just picked a certain combination to answer.

"Wow, that's a new Yin Yin! Then can I still be mom and dad's child?" The girl cheered softly, hugging her teddy bear, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

He Jing Yasheng shook his head, "It's hard to say, but it's possible." If the mother-child relationship between them is not broken, He Jing Yasheng can find a way to connect a new lifeline to her mother. But can this so-called new life be called the current Yin Yin?

As a child, Yinyin couldn't think of such a complicated thing. She held up the teddy bear doll and kissed Jing Yasheng with it. "Although Yinyin is still a little scared, I will try my best to see my parents again!"

The little girl's innocent face showed a smile, her eyes full of longing for her parents. She was just a child less than five years old, and she didn't realize what death meant. She suddenly turned into a ray of light and flew straight into Kazukage Yayoi's chest.

A completely white soul, so pure that it is unbelievable. Is it because the other person is a child, or because the other person has no fear of death?

He Jing Yayoi was stunned. He could even feel that he would soon give birth to a new human soul. Before, he needed to use the blood of God to construct a loom to spin the lifeline, and the lifeline could only be continued on living people. In other words, he could only extend the life of humans in a troublesome way before, but now he felt that he could give birth to a real human being.

Others thought it was a normal part of the little girl's wish being fulfilled, and they did not have too many questions. Instead, they were relieved. They told their last words in twos and threes. The two lovers had eloped from home and broke up with their original families. Now they had no regrets in going to the underworld together. They just said that they had not had time to watch the movie they were looking forward to, and they did not know if they could catch up in the next life. If they had a next life, they hoped not to be a feudal and old-fashioned family.

The two policemen were worried about their elderly parents and their wives and children, hoping that they would not be too sad. They sacrificed their lives for the people, so their lives as the families of martyrs would not be too difficult, but the mental trauma would be difficult to eliminate. The four of them turned into white light and entered the body of Kazukage Yayoi.

The remaining two ordinary people cried for a long time. From small things like stealing a neighbor's chicken in elementary school to big things like bullying colleagues in the workplace, they simply regarded Kazukage Yayoi as a priest instead of the god of death. They kept nagging and crying endlessly. Finally, when they saw the firefighters about to break through the fire and enter the scene, Kazukage Yayoi could no longer bear it and directly absorbed the two of them. Unlike the five souls that flew in automatically, these two souls did not give birth to new souls.

He Jing Yayoi looked up and found that the firefighters were already crossing the fire scene with water guns, so he quickly jumped away from the fire scene.

There were still many people staying not far from the fire scene. Transportation was limited, and 20 minutes was not enough to evacuate everyone from the area. He Jing Yayoi joined the crowd and planned to evacuate with them. At this time, he could vaguely hear a pair of parents crying hysterically in the distance.

"Yin Yin! Yin Yin! Where are you!"

"Yin Yin!!!!"

The streets were crowded with people evacuating. People around them who heard the parents' cries were helping them find their children, while others were comforting them. The helpless parents held up their stuffed bears, trying to call for their children to appear like every other day. Maybe if they turned around, they would see Yinyin, with a bright smile, jumping into their arms.

The mother was unable to hold the child's hand because of the push of the crowd. She still desperately reached for the child and called for help from others, but the crowd was busy with their own affairs, so who could care about this heartbroken mother? In just a moment, the happy family collapsed, and the dreamlike reflection suddenly shattered.

"Those are Yinyin's parents." Zhu Fujingguang suddenly spoke up. He was saddened by the separation of parents and children. Just like him, when he was alive, he was separated from his parents by Yin and Yang. When he died, he did not see his parents. If it was according to what Yayoi said, he would have disappeared from this world long ago. He missed them after all.

Looking at the parents who were almost fainting from the pain, He Jing Yayoi recalled Yin Yin's memories. Whether it was the smiling faces of her parents when she was just born from the cradle, the cake and surprise on her birthday, or even the kisses and smiles of her parents every day, they all showed that this was an extremely happy family.

But all of this was cut off on June 15th, cut off by the hands of the ruthless criminals, cut off by the ruthless manipulation of the world line, and cut off by his unintentional cause. Since her wish was to be her parents' child in the next life, he would send her back to her parents. He Jing Yayoi summoned the newly born soul and sent her and her memories as Yin Yin to her mother's belly, reconnecting the shaky parent-child relationship on the lifeline.

He cast a dream, so that after the two parents fell asleep, they would know from the dream that their child Yin Yin had returned to them. They must not be too sad and accidentally abort the child. This was also the greatest help he could do under the warning and surveillance of the world line.

Zhu Fu Jingguang saw a beam of white light fly out from He Jing Yayoi's fingertips and go straight into Yin Yin's mother's belly. He was a little happy, but also worried that he was overthinking. After hesitating for a moment, he chose to speak, "Yayoi, was that Yin Yin just now?"

He Jing Yayoi nodded, "Doesn't she want to be her parents' child in the next life? Her situation is very special, and her soul is complete. I don't need to do anything to reincarnate. I just happened to meet her parents, so I just let her reincarnate. I hope this time, it's not a life for another."

He Jing Yayoi sighed, but since there was only one person reincarnated, he couldn't tell whether other people had lost their lives. He didn't know how many people died every day in this world. He could only know the stories that happened around the world line from the world line. If the world line randomly found a few people to exchange their lives, he wouldn't know anything at all. So this is why He Jing Yayoi felt that the world line was provoking and warning him. It could have taken away a few people at will, but it had to carve them on the world line for him to see.

"Logically, it shouldn't happen, but..." He Jing Yasheng held his forehead. He had never thought of being an enemy of the world line, nor did he expect that the other party would sing a different tune from him, which made him lose confidence in the established facts. "Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Let's go back to the hospital first."
