Sitting on the small boat, the mist pierced the sea and moved forward slowly.The crow hovered above his head, making a long, shrill cry.

May sat in the middle of the boat.She didn't dare to move around, and she didn't dare to look around, for fear that her reckless actions would capsize the whole boat.She didn't want to fall into the water—she was afraid of water.

What's more, what's turbulent under the boat is still salty sea water, and it's impossible to see the bottom at a glance.If she really fell, she would definitely die in the sea.

Thinking about it, she couldn't help shivering.

This worry is a bit unnecessary.The boatman wouldn't let that happen.

The atmosphere on board was eerily quiet.The boatman was only concentrating on supporting the small boat, and didn't deliberately talk to them.The other two team members in the same boat may have been forced by the majesty of the water column on the same boat, so they hung their heads low and hardly spoke from the beginning to the end.And Yiyong just looked ahead, without any anxiety or other emotions.

Sitting next to him in May, she was full of thoughts on what to do to keep the boat from capsizing, without any intention of talking at all.Besides, she is the lowest class in this group, so she has no courage to speak up.

Hmm... Why does the current atmosphere and feeling feel a bit like the captain of the boss, two ordinary players and a low-end newcomer like her?

She was thinking wildly.

The boat seemed to change direction slightly.Wuyue panicked and grabbed Yiyong's arm in a hurry, for fear of being thrown out.

"Here we are, Liren Pavilion. It's right in front."

said the boatman.

The oar in his hand accidentally knocked against the edge of the boat, making a heavy "clang" sound, which almost scared Wuyue's nerves out of his brain.

Through the light white mist, a tall black figure gradually revealed its shape.As the boat approached, the high-rise wooden structure gradually became clearer, and its flying eaves and interlaced corridors could be seen, as well as the thick logs that submerged in the sea and supported the entire building.

Moving forward slowly, they were enveloped by the shadow cast by the Liren Pavilion.

Just as the lord told them, the Liren Pavilion is really a tall building built on the sea.Except for ships, there is no other way to get close.

Long golden bells hang from the four corners of the eaves, reflecting bright light.When the wind blows, it will make a crisp sound.The sound echoed in the sea, and it made her feel a little dazed for a moment.

She was still immersed in the surprise of the tall buildings on the sea.She never expected such a building to exist in this era.

"The Liren Pavilion won't open until evening." The boatman confirmed with them, "You really want to go now?"

Yiyong nodded, but didn't explain much, so the boatman didn't ask any more questions—it's not his job to get to the bottom of it.

May is a little tense.Next, she will go deep into the Liren Pavilion alone.

I still remember what the lord told them before leaving for Xingyuan.He said that after the completion of Liren Pavilion, the number of accidental disappearances in Xingyuan increased sharply during this period, and the results of the police investigation pointed to the singer of Liren Pavilion, a beautiful "ordinary" girl.

She is a human being.Human beings like everyone else.

She admitted that she killed those people and threw them into the sea, so even the bones could not be found.She was sentenced to death immediately, and now there is no way to ask anything from her.And the people of Xingyuan are still missing.

The lord said that she is not the real mastermind behind the scenes.

Before sending them out, two members of the ghost killing team had actually gone to Xingyuan to investigate, and one of them had successfully sneaked into the Liren Pavilion.After lurking in the Liren Pavilion for a while, she came to the conclusion that there was more than one ghost in this giant tower on the sea.

She called for reinforcements.The lord did send water column support for her, but the course of action was not to directly break into the Liren Pavilion and kill the evil spirits.

——That was not an ordinary "ghost eating man" incident.I believe there are more complications involved.

That's what my lord said.

So the current course of action has become to continue to ambush and try to understand the whole picture of the incident.

This May understands—she understands quite clearly.

but……

...But, there are obviously four people here, why is it that she went to Liren Pavilion to work as an undercover agent, while the remaining three people are lying in ambush around the Liren Pavilion!

"Because you don't look very dangerous." Yi Yong replied solemnly.

"……All right."

A group of crows circled the sea not far away.The fog had cleared, and they were attracted by the sparkling waves on the sea.Liren Pavilion is getting closer and closer, Wuyue can see Ishikawa Mutsu standing on the wooden ladder waiting to meet her—that is, the swordsman who was undercover in Liren Pavilion earlier.

May's heart was beating fast.Thinking of the secrets hidden in Liren Pavilion, she became very nervous.

"Oh, it's almost here." The boatman muttered, covering his eyebrows with his fingers to block the annoying sunlight. After looking at the tall buildings on the sea for a while, he sighed, "Hey, the current Liren Pavilion still looks the same. It’s amazing. It’s the first time I’ve seen this Liren Pavilion from so close.”

"The current Liren Pavilion? So, was there a Liren Pavilion before?"

Hearing Yiyong's question, the boatman didn't hide it, and said directly: "Yes, there was Liren Pavilion a long time ago, but it really was. A long time ago. It seems to be... from the Heian era? But, the original The Liren Pavilion was built on an outlying island, not here. However, it's not far away."

The boatman pulled out the oar from the water and pointed towards the southeast.

"Hey, it's over there. I probably can't even find a piece of coke now, because the sea level has risen in recent years."

Really can't see anything.The sea was so gentle that even the traces of the island could not be seen.The outlying island and the former Liren Pavilion sank into the water together.

A team member asked: "What happened to the previous Liren Pavilion?"

The boatman smiled boldly and dipped the oars into the sea again.

"Are you foreigners?" Seeing the confusion in their eyes about the outlying island and Liren Pavilion, the boatman said in a reasonable tone, "then no wonder you don't know, after all, the legend is still very famous in Xingyuan Yes!"

He didn't intend to show off, so he didn't dawdle too much.

"The Liren Pavilion was built on an outlying island. There is a singer named Shiranui. When she dances, she is integrated with the surrounding lights, just like the legendary monster Shiranui. At that time, the Lord Xingyuan City loved her very much. But probably out of love, he deliberately released the rumor that Shiranui was a monster. The horrified people burned the Liren Pavilion to ashes, the song girl Shiranui disappeared, and the city owner died in the fire. Some people said that the song Ji Shiranuo turned into a monster and disappeared."

"What do you think, did Shiranui become a monster?"

Wuyue asked with her head in one hand.

"Who knows." The boatman shrugged, "There are no monsters in this world."

Regarding the boatman's words, May was noncommittal.

She would rather believe in the existence of monsters, after all, she has seen all kinds of strange things.Not to mention the kings, the drag racing mafia, and the good-for-nothing gods who only charge five yuan for everything. During the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school, she even went to Fuyuki to work for the magician of the Tohsaka family.

She felt that her three views had been forged to be indestructible, so even if Shiranui jumped out of the sea at this moment, she would not be surprised.

"However, the Liren Pavilion is also very powerful now." The boatman seemed to have opened up a chatterbox, and said, "It only took three days to rise from the sea out of thin air. Can you imagine it?"

It seems... I really can't imagine it.

Such a terrifying construction speed should not be possible in this era... right?

"Did it really only take three days to build?"

Asked in May.

The boatman nodded vigorously, and stretched out three fingers decently: "Yes, it's only three days. Even kelp won't grow so fast."

"However, if it is bamboo, it should be able to grow so fast. In spring, bamboo can grow from a bamboo shoot that has just emerged to a height of more than one meter in a day."

May muttered casually.Accidentally, her focus was wrong again.

Now is not the time to discuss crop growth rates!

Acting bravely, he turned away from the beginning as if inadvertently.When the boat stopped beside the Liren Pavilion, he said, "Here we are."

"Huh...I see."

Although she knew that Yiyong's words were not intended to drive her away, her mood was still quite complicated.She stood up tremblingly and walked slowly to the bow.

Thinking of the bottomless sea on both sides, she became nervous and frightened.The rare sense of stability was completely shattered by this tension, and her whole body began to shake.Yiyong hurriedly reached out his hand to her, hoping to help her stabilize her balance, but Wuyue didn't notice his movement at all.She had already grabbed Ishikawa Mutsu's arm, and quickly stepped up the wooden ladder driven by panic.

Giyuu's hand was empty, and even his heart became empty.He slowly withdrew his hand, turned and sat down, without saying anything.

"Then I'll go first, Mr. Yiyong."

Her voice came from behind.

After suppressing it for a long time, she shouted loudly.

"You have to pick me up quickly, okay?"

Yiyong knew that she didn't really want to stay in Liren Pavilion, and she didn't want to take on such a heavy task as an "undercover agent", but because she never complained about it, Yiyong didn't say anything, just kept silent.

This might be her first complaint about the task of Liren Pavilion.Although it was just a very common sentence, maybe it was not a complaint at all, but for some reason, it suddenly made Yiyong feel at ease.He stood up and stood on the side of the boat.

The tide pushed the boat away, and the distance between them was suddenly opened.I couldn't see her expression clearly, but she still stood there.

Probably waiting for his reply.he thinks.

Then, you must give an answer.

But what was crowded between them was the sound of raging waves, making Yiyong unsure if his voice could still reach Wuyue's ears.And just as he hesitated for a short moment, the distance seemed to be opened up even more.

He didn't dare to hesitate any longer, and roared out his answer.His face was red and his ears were red from roaring, and his heart was also surging. He was expecting the sea breeze to deliver the words to her ears.

"it is good!"

I will definitely take her home safely.
