Just then, another figure appeared out of thin air, and his clear, cold voice was exceptionally distinct amidst the enormous noise.
Su Deng shuddered, staring at the person who had suddenly appeared before her. Her teeth ground together, she couldn't help but take a deep breath and roared angrily, "Can't you guys make a sound? Are you some kind of ghost or a human, always disappearing and reappearing out of thin air to scare people?!"
Yan Sizhan seemed to be stunned by her roar, standing there for a moment before regaining his senses and saying, "I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time."
Su Deng: "..."
Her sincere apology made her so angry that she didn't even know how to vent her anger.
Su Deng pinched the bridge of her nose: "Then where do you think he is?"
Yan Sizhan: "I don't know."
Su Deng: "..."
I really want to slit my own throat and kill myself!
Another moment passed.
Yan Sizhan spoke up: "The shrine maiden chosen by the shrine has run away."
Su Deng was taken aback and looked up: "You mean Tsunomiya Riki?"
Yan Sizhan said, "I don't know his name. Tomorrow is the God Festival. Half an hour ago, she escaped from the Wushan Shrine and was taken away by a monster."
Su Deng looked astonished.
She had so many chances to escape before, but Riki never did. Yukito tried to take her away many times, but she never did. She was even taken away by Yukito in the chaos, but in the end she still came back.
But tonight, at this hour, they ran away?
Don't you want all those things she keeps talking about—the lack of choice and responsibility?
Yan Sizhan spoke again: "She was a sacrifice that humans offered to the gods. She escaped, and the gods were angered and punished the world."
Su Deng's expression changed slightly: "You mean tonight's disaster is caused by the gods..."
“Yes,” Yan Sizhan replied.
Su Deng felt a mix of emotions, unable to quite describe what she was feeling.
But what about the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons?
“Your son is a monster, he will be fine, you don’t need to worry too much.” Yan Sizhan looked down at her through the mask: “You’d better leave here as soon as possible.”
"I want to know why..."
Swelling—
Before Su Deng could ask his next question, he vanished into smoke again, just like a ninja practicing ninjutsu.
Su Deng: "..."
ill!
They're all sick!
“Ahhh——”
Just then, a piercing cry came from the horizon, and something with huge wings flapped as it flew by, followed by a dark shadow.
Su Deng didn't delve into what this was, because the last two remaining items in the Monster Chronicles lit up automatically at that moment.
Of the two monsters that just flew by, one is the leader of the hundred ghosts that roam the night.
The entire book of monster books was lit up without much effort at all.
[Congratulations to the player who has fully unlocked the Monster Chronicles, completing the quest ahead of schedule. Rewards include 100,000 points and ten divine-level materials. All rewards will be calculated together after this dungeon ends.]
Su Deng: "???"
How many?
The in-game tasks were completed effortlessly, and the rewards were so generous. When did this crazy game become so generous?
Could this be a scam?
After a long pause, Su Deng finally came to her senses, glanced at the burning town and the erupting volcano behind her, and turned to leave.
If the root of all this lies with the Wushan Shrine, and Riki Jinomiya has escaped again, the shrine must be in complete chaos right now.
Su Deng went back to Wushui Courtyard first, but there was no one there.
It's almost dawn.
Without hesitation, Su Deng headed straight for the Firefly Forest, walking up the steps marked with red torii gates.
