Chapter 58 You Yu; It’s okay, I won’t... won’t make the same mistake again.

Wonder's disappearance was stuck in Kisaragi's blind spot. The evil hot spring workers who rushed over from the Shinto all looked at Youyu and the others with terrifying eyes. Those eyes didn't look like human eyes, but more like...

It was more like the gaze of some wild beast on its prey, possessing only the most basic biological instincts like a demon.

"…I'm sorry, we just wanted to look for the friend who was with us last night, and we didn't know that the shrine was in a special location."

Facing dozens of soup workers who could turn into monsters at any time, Youyu quickly slid to his knees. Fortunately, Kisaragi was obviously in a hurry to do other things, so he didn't argue with Youyu on this issue. He just said in a disgusting tone: "You also have to recognize your own identities. The red-haired boy is a tourist, so he is qualified to be invited by the miko to enter the shrine to rest temporarily. And you? Haha, since you became soup workers, you can never restore your status as tourists! Be honest, maybe I can give you more food."

You Yu was a little shocked by the other party's shamelessness: "No, brother, I'm just saying, why do you really think that I'm a person who can't survive on the streets if I leave your bathhouse?"

Shuise was so angry that he wanted to rush over, but Youyu held him back and stopped him.

The clues were not enough, but You Yu was still able to bend and stretch, showing a bright smile: "You are so right!"

"Hurry up and go back to the Great Evil Hot Spring! Who else would take you in on a snowy day except the Great Evil Hot Spring? The owner of the hot spring is too kindhearted. He actually let me take in all the people who came to apply for the job of hot spring worker during this period." Kisaragi snorted, turned around and shouted to the numb-looking group of hot spring workers behind him, "Hurry up, hurry up! If you delay the priestess's sacrifice, you will suffer the consequences!"

Kisaragi Maru led the hot spring workers and left the Shinto shrine in a mighty procession. After the annoying middle-aged man disappeared from his sight, Youyu immediately returned to his thoughtful look: "Sacrifice... I don't know whether the Shinto family's sacrifice is to Susanoo or the mountain god of Tanghong Mountain, and what it has to do with the hot springs here..."

Shuise sighed, "Don't think about this for now. We don't know Bai Ye's condition yet, and we don't know what's going on with Linglan. Yangyan and Xuedie haven't contacted us. Youyu, do you feel like we've lost contact with everyone we know?"

"It's okay, look at the headphones."

You Yu was extremely calm at the critical moment, which formed a sharp contrast with the panicked Shuise. He pointed at the earphones hanging on his ear bones, and saw that the indicator light under the plum blossom pattern was flashing slightly. You Yu turned up the volume of the earphones to the maximum, and the screams of Linglan and Yangyan came over.

"Youyu! Where are you? We have now confirmed where Bai Ye is trapped, but that area is now guarded by a terrifying monster snake! There is no way to get close!"

Compared to Lily of the Valley, Yang Yan's voice was more penetrating. For a moment, the only sound in the noisy headphones was Yang Yan's yelling: "Bai Ye is over there. The 'soup' pool that provides soul particles to the blood-red hot spring and increases its effectiveness and concentration is also over there! Damn it, why is there that weird snake? I'm so sorry, brother Bai Ye, ah ah——"

Yangyan soon began to sob again, and Linglan snatched the headphones away, and her voice became clear again: "It's hard to tell through the headphones! Anyway, we have to gather together! Youyu, where are you and Shuise? We'll go find you now, and then we can just take down this shrine together and fight them—"

"Calm down, everyone."

A voice that absolutely could not possibly sound suddenly rang out in the noisy headphone channel. Be it the anxious Linglan, the crying Yangyan, or the Xuedie who was trying hard to use words to gain a sense of existence for herself, they were all stunned for a moment. The headphones were so quiet that Youyu seemed to think that there was something wrong with Meihua's invention, although he knew that this was impossible.

"Wait, Youyu, is this real? Pinch me, am I dreaming?"

Yang Yan's murmuring voice was the first to be heard, and Linglan on the opposite side pinched him without any hesitation. The red-haired boy let out an exaggerated cry and almost burst into tears.

"Really?! Is it really you, Bai Ye? Are you okay?! Where are you now? We're going to find you now!"

"Don't worry about me yet."

Bai Ye seemed to be in a very empty place. The sound was echoing and there was an obvious sound of spring water flowing around, obviously still underground.

"I'm fine."

"You think it's okay that your status bar avatar is flashing and you may be eliminated and kicked out of the devil's game at any time?! Do you know that your soul is on the verge of shattering?!"

Linglan couldn't stand this man's words at all and said sarcastically.

Bai Ye could only smile bitterly: "At least everything is fine for now. It's probably because we were too close to the remains of the Eden Serpent. The power of the Demon King was too strong, so the DM system's perception was blocked... Let's get back to the point. Are you being stopped by the shrine maiden in front of the Shinto torii?"

The reason Bai Ye gave was very convincing. The demon power of the Demon King was so strong that even the DM system could not spy on the king's territory. The dead king was still the king, and no one outside could get close to his body.

Youyu and Mizuise nodded. Although the other party couldn't see them at all, they still acted reflexively: "And just now Kisaragi brought a lot of people to the shrine. I don't know what they are going to do."

"I'd like to make it clear in advance that although Saotome Rin and I were both ingredients for the hot spring here, we don't know what principle the master of the hot spring uses to control the effect of the hot spring..."

Yangyan's voice sounded extremely guilty, Youyu could almost imagine him scratching his head in embarrassment. He did not show any surprise that Yangyan and his friends used to be the "soup ingredients" here. After all, these two people were too obvious, they didn't even pretend, and had "I'm abnormal" written all over their faces.

But Shuise obviously knew nothing and reacted extremely strongly: "What?! You were once the soup ingredients here?!"

Saotome Rin explained straightforwardly, "Yes, the DM system recreated the Yellow Springs Town from eight years ago in the Superimposed World, giving those demon apostles a new chance to succeed, but it also gave us, the soup ingredients who escaped the final fire eight years ago, the opportunity to stop the soup master in advance. I'm sorry that we concealed something at the beginning, we just... didn't know how to explain it."

"It's okay. I saw it."

Bai Ye sighed, his breathing was a little heavy. "I saw... the altar underground. The purpose of the demon apostles is definitely not as simple as creating special effects hot springs. The altar here is related to the devil serpent of Eden. It is an ancient altar where human believers worshiped the devil thousands of years ago. Combined with the flesh and blood puppets that appeared in Solomon College before, I suspect... these lunatics really want to attack the serpent of Eden."

"You mean, resurrect the Serpent of Eden?!"

Lily of the Valley cried out.

"I'm not sure. It shouldn't be that simple, but it's almost the same. Whether the culprit called Tangzhu wants to seize the power of the Serpent of Eden or revive the Serpent of Eden, we don't have much time now..."

Bai Ye sighed, his brain working frantically, thinking about how he should normally inform You Yu of the conversation between Master Tang and Fan Lan that they were going to take action in advance, so that they would be prepared now. You Yu, who had been in deep thought, suddenly spoke.

"If I were the devil's apostle, the mastermind behind all this, Master Tang, and I knew that the DM system had given me a new opportunity, and that the soup ingredients that had escaped from Huangquan Town in the past had returned here to stop my plan... I would prepare for the worst."

Mizuise and Shizaye stared at Youyu intently. The young man's golden eyes almost revealed an inorganic texture, making people feel as if he was the master of the soup.

"I will compress the preparations for what I want to do into the maximum number of days in advance to catch them off guard."

Youyu's voice was steady. The information that Baiye was thinking about was directly deduced by Youyu, but what he said was scary: "Baiye, you don't know, Wonder just came to us. Wonder's intelligence has always been ahead of us, but now it seems that compared to being surprised by his ability or even the miracle of traveling through the superimposed world, I think the more serious situation is that the situation has become so serious that even Wonder has to choose to cooperate with us."

"Wonder?! Is he the thief who stole the Heart of Night?"

Bai Ye's voice was very natural, with a hint of solemnity in his doubt. If he didn't know that he was Wonder, he would have been fooled by his extraordinary performance and perfect response.

"Yes, wonder."

You Yu's eyes were covered by her slightly long hair, but the corners of her mouth were still raised with optimism.

"I just saw Kisaragi and the others saying they were going to the soup stock springs to bring the soup stock to tonight's Great Evil Hot Spring. I stayed at the shrine with Yangyan to observe the movements of these people, but the final location of the Devil Apostles' activities will definitely not be the shrine... It's almost dusk now, you guys should go to the Great Evil Hot Spring. Tonight's Great Evil Hot Spring will definitely be different from the previous ones. After the Huangquan Town parade, when those so-called big shots enter the hot spring, that's when the mastermind will achieve his ultimate goal."

"Soup springs..." Linglan touched her chin and suddenly realized: "Oh! It's the place where the blood cocoons are everywhere."

"That's right." Bai Ye affirmed. He and You Yu reasoned with each other, and with the help of Yang Yan, Saotome Rin and Xue Die, the three of them provided information about the Huangquan Town incident that was destroyed eight years ago and was not available to ordinary people. They quickly perfected the speculation of this temporarily assembled team about the framework of the possible entire plan of Lord Tang.

The owner of the hot spring has been laying the groundwork for such a long time and has been working with so many big shots until now. In his plan, the Great Evil Hot Spring where the big shots carry out hot spring activities and the source of the hot spring are definitely the places he wants to show it all the most, but the location is most likely the Great Evil Hot Spring.

After all, an experimental madman like Mr. Tang who wants to get research results must want to proudly show his final results in front of those so-called "big shots in the upper society of Yedao".

"Okay... then we'll split into two groups."

Youyu didn't hesitate, and there was no time to hesitate. He looked at Mizuiro and Izayoi, but Mizuiro still looked worried: "Kagero still has a reason to stay at the shrine, but what about you? Is your condition really okay?"

"Yeah, don't worry, it's okay."

Bai Ye's voice was still gentle, but it was filled with unquestionable certainty.

"Don't worry, trust him."

You Yu looked at Shuise, and there was also an unquestionable determination in his eyes.

Linglan sighed: "Although I don't know where you got this information from, I believe in you guys. Well, let's go back to Huangquan Town and fight to the death with these bastards who don't take human life seriously!"

Linglan's voice quickly disappeared in the headphones. Shizaye did not choose to leave. Instead, he pressed his headphones and walked towards Huangquan Town as Youyu said. Youyu did not turn off the headphones. He stayed at the end of the team, looking at the sunset that had already turned yellow and red, and said meaningfully: "No matter what, I'm glad you're okay."

Bai Ye was a little surprised: "Why are you suddenly becoming sentimental?"

You Yu used the headset as a personal phone call with Bai Ye. He stuck out his tongue and said coquettishly, "You're almost scaring me to death! Because I always mess up recently, as if there is a hand in the dark, forcing me to push everyone away..."

You Yu was a little discouraged: "Obviously, I should have been the one to find those dangerous clues, so that you wouldn't have been in danger of being eliminated."

Although Bai Ye was not actually threatened, the pressure from the Serpent of Eden would still have a serious impact on humans. This could be seen from the fact that Bai Ye's status bar almost showed that he was eliminated. The concentration of demonic power on his side had made it impossible for the DM system to determine whether Bai Ye was a human or a demon.

He was really close to being eliminated by the DM system.

Bai Ye: “I don’t think so.”

"Ah?" You Yu let out a stunned sound.

“Nothing is ever completely screwed up.”

Bai Ye's voice was still gentle, and You Yu almost felt that he saw the bright sunshine under the clear sky.

“But failure is failure.”

You Yu was silent for a long time. In the end, when he could no longer hear any voice from Bai Ye, he looked at the palm of his hand and continued to respond in the same tit-for-tat manner.

I don’t know whether he was talking to himself or refuting Bai Ye.

"But it doesn't matter. I won't make the same mistake again... No matter who is behind all this, I won't make the same mistake again."

He turned off his headphones, and the sound was the danger and determination he had shown in front of others.
