Through the diary entries, Yin Zhu had sensed many subtle points of suspicion.
This also explains why she stopped collecting.
Rather than believing in an unknown diary owner, Yin Zhu was more inclined to believe in the cat that doted on her... or perhaps it was she who doted on the cat, but none of that mattered. After all, who could refuse the request of a big cat that was many times larger than themselves but would not eat them and would let them stroke their fur to their heart's content?
In short, the information that Yin Zhu obtained from Mao You was far safer and more reliable than any collection of diaries.
These past few days, after getting tired of chatting with the cat, Yin Zhu would carry a small stool to sit at the doorway, looking out at the street, counting the number of spider lilies, and occasionally encountering other friendly ghosts.
For example, there's a man with an exceptionally large head named Nurarihyon. In the past, he used his eloquence to balance the conflict between monsters and humans to some extent. However, humans were never satisfied, and an Onmyoji emerged from among them, completely sealing the monsters into the demon realm.
From then on, Nurarihyon's status plummeted.
Many monsters are born from negative emotions, so they already resent humans. Now, instead of humans and monsters living in harmony, they live in a dark and sunless place, so they vent all their resentment on Nurarihyon.
Even if Nurarihyon could fight one person, he couldn't possibly fight a group. In addition, he was known for his cunning nature, so he simply went into hiding.
The ghost realm was in considerable chaos during this period.
Until one day, Shuten-dōji appeared out of nowhere, advocating that the winner takes all, and with his powerful demonic energy, he defeated a group of demons and became the king of all demons in the demon world, finally ending that chaotic period.
Under the powerful intimidation of Shuten-dōji, Nurarihyon's original idea of starting anew after the return of all the demons to the human world has gradually faded, and he is now only thinking about giving up.
However, all of this happened hundreds of years ago.
Before leaving, the sly devil looked at Yin Zhu with some regret, then looked up at the still, artificial starry sky:
"Little girl, you've come at the worst possible time. This world is probably going to be in chaos again."
