There was no way to pry more information out of the system, and Jiuyuan himself didn't hold out much hope.

He turned on his phone, took a photo of the collection he had placed in Hanako's folding space, and sent it to Izanami, with a bit of a show-off mentality. Normally, the only person he could talk about these things with was the system, but now with Izanami, he could talk to her privately about some things.

Just after he sent the message, a new message popped up on his phone within a few minutes. He thought it was a reply from the other party, but he found that he was added to a group.

Besides the two of them, there was also Gui Deng and a person he didn't know.

In the private chat interface, Izanami typed: "That child, Kochu, the assistant officer of the Five Paths Chakravartin, is a zombie."

This is a hobby group for sharing collections, and everyone has a hobby of collecting strange and cursed items.

Jiuyuan felt that this was like a "flower cultivation exchange group"...

Speaking of which, a place full of cursed things...

There must be a lot of interesting things in the warehouses of those long-standing sorcerer families, right?

"Unfortunately, now is not the time to think about these things." He sighed, "I still have to deal with the next character plot..."

…

…

It would definitely not be possible to perform a solo, but fortunately he released the other actors in advance.

Inside the store, Morofushi Jingguang looked at Hachisha, who was standing on the inside of the door, unmoved by thunder, with a worried look on his face.

He asked Hanako next to him: "...Don't you have to get a ticket to enter? Does Hachishaku-sama have a ticket?"

Hanako squinted her eyes and started to talk nonsense: "He must have stolen the ticket."

Morobushi Kagemitsu and Yashaku Minoru had no friendship. They seldom spoke and did not know each other very well. Although the other's presence was strong, they did not do anything bad. They just stood there and attracted attention.

"...Is he going to keep this posture forever?" he asked Hanako in a low voice.

Hanako just shook his head, not caring about these little things. He was looking through the signs on today's trading board and said casually, "Just wait until Jiuyuan comes back."

"That being said--" But he didn't know when Jiuyuan and the others would come back!

At this moment, Hisaen was with Kagome Ken.

After taking care of the other party's afterlife, Geto Suguru is no longer truly a "human" - because he gave up the choice of reincarnation and decided to work hard to become a half-demon and a monster.

Jiuyuan asked him, "Don't you think it's a pity?"

After learning a little about Geto Suguru's life, he felt that his choice was not that surprising.

Xia Yujie shook his head: "This is more suitable for me now. Besides, I don't think I have the need or qualifications to continue being a 'human'."

This time, Jiu Yuan did not respond, but chose to change the subject.

"By the way, didn't you say you adopted two girls before? They seemed to be about my age?"

Kayuki nodded.

"Now that the noose issue has been completely resolved, do you want to go meet them again? No matter what, you are the one who changed their fate. What do you plan to do with the future of those two children?"

Geto: "I haven't made up my mind whether to interfere in their future lives."

He sighed, "On the one hand, I have become a completely different person from them now - on the other hand... although they are the children I watched grow up, there will always be a road that will separate them from me, right? Even if I am not around, they will continue to walk hand in hand."

Jiuyuan: "Is this the mentality of a parent? They can't let go, but they also hope that they can leave and be completely independent."

Summer Oil: "...I guess so."

He just thought that the two children seemed to have been working hard for his wishes. Although he successfully changed their lives in that small village, was it a distortion of the future of the two children to pin all their emotions and motives on him alone?

"Then at least we should put them on the right track, right?" Jiuyuan said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with them getting a good education and trying to live like ordinary people."

Geto: "Even if I survived like that before...? You know I was a curser for a long time, right? They followed me..."

At this point, Geto Suguru remembered what Izanami had said to him - if he wanted to enter reincarnation, he would naturally go through the trial process.

Now that I think about it, Izanami meant that he would most likely go to hell.

Jiuyuan also knew about what happened between him and the people around him, so of course he wouldn't say anything confusing or give false comfort at this time.

"If they continue on this path, they will undoubtedly go to hell," Jiuyuan explained. "However, the trial process in hell is very complicated... At least, if they start to atone their sins now, although the result of the trial will most likely be hell, they may be able to become a 'human' in their next life."

He changed the subject: "Of course, this is just my personal opinion. It does not represent the trial mechanism of Hell, and it is even more impossible to predict the result of the trial."

"If you think it's a good idea, you can ask Mr. Sakaguchi to help them and send them back to school. After graduation, they can join some official peripheral organizations to work for the government. If they don't want to, you can let them choose for themselves."

He said casually: "——No matter what, it's better to do good things now than to do nothing, right?"

Kagome: “…I understand.”

Being interrupted by Hisaen, Geto Xiayou almost forgot what he wanted to ask him.

So far, there are more and more mysteries surrounding Kuen. Moreover, after this journey to hell, new mysteries that were already unsolved have been added - if Izanami knows that Kuen is her child, then which soul in his body is the child she is referring to?

However, the goddess Izanami was still relatively friendly and even took the initiative to help him solve some minor problems... This made Kagome Kagome feel entangled.

He asked, "The other soul in your body, can Izanami-sama help you expel him... or merge him?"

What Hisan was waiting for was for Geto Suguru to ask questions. Among the people in this world, only Geto Suguru knew about his private meeting with Izanami, but he didn't know the specific content, so he could be allowed to speak freely here.

He has added so many settings to his alias, why can't he add a few settings to himself?

Kuen first took a melancholy breath and said, "...I have asked Lady Izanami about this. Her 'child' is a monster born from the fusion of the flesh and blood of vengeful spirits, her grudge, and other creatures in the underworld. However, this fusion is not stable."

"The child is split in two."

"Yes, there are two parts, 'me' and 'him'. I have the body, and he is the remaining half of the soul."

"Most of his soul comes from the resentment of Lady Izanami. After all, it is the resentment of the goddess, so it is naturally much stronger than mine - but he has no body. What I have is a body and a small amount of soul made up of resentful spirits, but most of the resentful spirits are ignorant, so we have been at peace until I completely developed my 'self'."

As he said this, he laughed at himself.

"After all, he doesn't necessarily need a body in hell."

Xia Yujie understood: ...In other words, before Kuen gained self-awareness, this body was completely idle and empty.

After Jiuyuan gained self-awareness, the "master" behind him began to get anxious. Considering his previous actions, he should have realized that he could manipulate Jiuyuan's new self-will to get back into his body.

Kuen blinked. "But you can rest assured that Lady Izanami is not going to interfere with us."

Xia Yujie: No, I just hope she interferes with you!

Kuen continued, "For her, this is not a rare thing. Before the current hell was established, it was not a big deal for the creatures and monsters in the underworld to devour each other. In her eyes, we are all her children."

"Besides—"

"We can't use the same expectations we humans have for our children to speculate on what God thinks, right?"

Thinking that the topic should be kept to a minimum and to give Geto some space to use his imagination, Kuen smiled at him soothingly.

"Don't worry, control of the body will not be handed over to him."
