He never received their answer.

Because that was the scene he saw when he entered Heian-kyo that night, and it was also the last time he logged into Onmyoji.

As he was about to leave the Yin-Yang Bureau, the shikigami watched him go, their eyes filled with fear and unease. The outside world had not yet returned to peace, and danger could come at any moment.

"Father, will you come back to see us?" Da Han asked, his voice trembling.

They were very uneasy.

"Of course I will. You all need to protect yourselves and wait for me to come back."

He said with a smile.

He lied.

He had already obtained inside information from the black witch he knew, and learned some unimaginable secrets.

He already knew that what happened today would lead to nothing.

This would be the last time he logged into Heian-kyo. He didn't even get to see the sorcerer who had gone out to find food before he left, a regret he could never forget.

And just like that, without any preparation, he severed ties with the world and these people overnight.

Later, he learned about his shikigami from Qiushui.

"When I arrived at the mountaintop yesterday, the shikigami in your Onmyoji guild had already scattered. I heard that some shikigami were taken away by NPCs and never returned, while others remained in the Onmyoji guild and disappeared because they hadn't eaten for a long time."

When she said this, Qiu Shui had a complicated expression on her face, and her gaze towards him was filled with disappointment.

She must be very confused.

Da Han and the others hadn't actually disappeared; he had abandoned them on his own initiative, and she couldn't understand his reason for doing so.

He never imagined, nor did he know he would be so heartless.

He thought they would leave on their own, that they would give up in despair, but he never expected that they would actually stay in the Yin-Yang Bureau and wait foolishly, thinking that he would come back there.

Feel sorry.

They are people who should not exist in this world; their very existence is a tragedy. Therefore, he gave up.

In Heian-kyo, many players believe that the mainstream of the Heian world consists of these mysterious and powerful shikigami. There is a saying in Heian-kyo: "If the shikigami are strong, the Onmyoji are strong."

But in the end, the one who truly determines the power of a shikigami is the Onmyoji. The existence of an Onmyoji is the reason why his shikigami exist.

...

A few days later

Qiu Shui used the instrument to find the brainwaves left by the Snow Woman, and she prepared to find the source of the brainwaves.

She hasn't given up yet.

"Can you find them?"

He asked, puzzled.

By then, he already regretted it. He regretted it so much that he wanted to do something desperate to heal the wounds in his heart.

"It definitely can."

Her face held hope, and her resolute gaze stung him.

It turns out she was braver than him.

"Be careful, I'll be waiting for you to come back."

He watched her leave.

Sitting on the living room sofa, Qiu Shui's electronic butler, Rou Ya, came down from her room upstairs and went into the kitchen to cook for him.

She is a virtual housekeeper, whose thoughts and emotions are connected to the network. After staying here for a few days, he noticed that this virtual personality is very intelligent.

"Young Master Shen, what are you worried about? It's lunchtime now."

As he was thinking, a gentle voice came from the kitchen.

He looked up and saw Rouya gently placing a sumptuous lunch in front of him.

"Thank you for your hard work," he said.

These are all dishes he usually likes to eat; Rouya is truly thoughtful.

"It's alright, Young Master Shen."

Rouya smiled and turned to go upstairs.

As she ascended the stairs and was about to enter a room, she turned back to look down at the living room, her gaze landing on the center of Shen Shiyang's eyes.

At the same time, countless tiny characters and numbers appeared before her eyes, eventually transforming into countless strange reactions.

"well……"

With a long sigh, she went into the room.

By the afternoon, Qiu Shui had not returned. He was anxious and couldn't help but go upstairs to ask Rou Ya. When Rou Ya saw his worried look, a warm feeling flashed in her eyes.

"Young Master Shen, don't worry. The butler is with Miss and will take good care of her."

"But……"

He thought of those rumors.

The island of Eternal Silence that Qiu Shui was going to was not safe; it was a desolate little island.

“Young Master Shen, from the first day the butler entered this house, he had only one mission—to protect Miss. In this world, if even the butler cannot protect Miss, then no one can guarantee her safety.”

She said calmly and gently.

Does she trust the housekeeper a lot?

He hesitated a little.

He recalled Fan Chen's previous actions in Xiu Si; it seemed he was about to do something big, something that might involve that place, Eternal Silence Island.

So……

A constant struggle of thoughts raged in my mind, but one idea was ultimately retained.

"Rouya, I have something to tell you..."

...

Several hours later, Qiu Shui still hadn't returned, and Rou Ya tried to find their location, but to no avail.

"Rouya, how is it? Have you found them?" he asked.

Rouya shook her head.

The guards outside kept asking Qiu Shui where she was; they had discovered that she had left without saying goodbye.

Ring ring ring...

A phone call suddenly came in.

He glanced at the bracelet on his wrist, stood up, and said, "Rouya, I need to go out for a bit now, is that alright?"

Rouya turned around, her gaze scrutinizing him. Unlike Qiushui, she knew he was a black witch from the very first day he entered this place.

Can you tell me why?

Her gentle voice remained tender.

"I'm going to see a friend."
