living in a broken world

Walking out of the forest, there is a bamboo forest next to it.According to Yae Sakura, it seems to be called Sorenani Bamboo Forest.

"Master Miko, who are these two people?"

At the end of the bamboo forest in the empty garden, you can indeed see the torii road leading to the Yae Shrine on the mountain, and you can see a bird's nest every other distance.At the entrance of the shrine, two villagers from Yae Village stopped Liuyun who was carrying Teresa on his back.

"This is my guest, don't be rude."

"Yes." The two villagers immediately withdrew their weapons and bowed to Liu Yun.

"Please."

"Oh."

Following Yae Sakura through the long stairs, Teresa couldn't help complaining. "The road is too long, isn't Yae Sakura tired from climbing up and down every day?"

"This is also the practice of a priestess." Yae Sakura replied Theresa with a smile.

"The two of you should be hungry too, I'll go prepare food." After putting Teresa and Liuyun in the room of Yae Shrine, Yae Sakura got up and left slowly.

"Well, what should we do?" Teresa tilted her head again to act cute.

"You are unconscious because the stigmata behind you are in disorder. As long as the root cause is solved, we should be able to go back."

"What would be the root cause?"

"Don't ask me, how do I know."

Yae Sakura, Yae Village, Yae Shrine.

Liu Yun knew that it was actually very simple to leave here, just knock down the fox demon Fei Yuwan.However, first of all, I don't know where Higokumaru is, and secondly, if I directly defeat Higokumaru, Yae Sakura will still be stuck in this memory.

"I've been waiting for a long time, please use it." Looking into the eyes, Yae Sakura came in with several huge rice balls.Seeing this, Liu Yun recalled bad memories, the memories of being tied up and fed by her back then, that was the horror of being dominated by Yae Sakura.

"Wow, thank you." Teresa took Yae Sakura's big rice ball and began to eat it.The eating image is extremely ugly, it is a foodie, the identification is complete.

"Karen..." Looking at the ugly Teresa, Yae Sakura covered her head and murmured subconsciously. "What's going on, why does Karen appear in my mind."

'No——, stop dreaming, that woman Karen died long ago, you have no hope now, you only have me. '

squeak--

The sound of clogs stepping on the floor came little by little, from far to near.

Wow—the closed wooden door was pulled open by a woman in a kimono.

"Master Miko, it's time for the meeting." The woman bent down respectfully and reminded Yae Sakura.

"Okay, I understand." Yae Sakura nodded to the woman, then turned to Liu Yun and Teresa and instructed. "If you don't have enough food, you can tell the aunt at the door. If you want to visit, you can also."

Watching Yae Sakura leave, Liu Yun's eyes finally moved away from the woman just now.Because the naked hostility of the woman just now was full, and she didn't know how to hide her murderous aura.

In fact, this kind of malice can also be felt from the passers-by who just met, but Teresa and Yae Sakura didn't feel anything, so Liu Yun didn't say anything.But when Liuyun and Teresa communicated with Yae Sakura, this malice overflowed from the woman in an instant.

It seems that my appearance interrupted the fox's plan.So, next is preparing to exclude yourself?

What will you do next?smelly fox.For Fei Yuwan's next move, Liu Yun was looking forward to it.

Higokumaru can also be called the black fox, the devil in the box, or the No.12 God's Key Jizo Yuhun.

Now she reckons that she wants Yae Sakura to fall into darkness, and then seizes Teresa's body through the stigmata space.

Liu Yun casually stretched out his hand and pinched the cheek of Teresa who was eating too much.

"What are you doing, it hurts!" Teresa stared at Liu Yun with her big watery eyes.

"I'm just going to see if conventional methods can wake you up."

"Didn't you just wake up when you were pinched by the Honkai Beast!"

"Sorry, I forgot."

"Show me sincerity!" Teresa shouted dissatisfied.

Liu Yun let out a laugh and patted Theresa's head. "Let's go out after eating."

"Yeah."

21. Sacrifice

After Teresa finished eating the large rice ball, she drank the soup happily, and then slowly picked up the towel next to her to wipe her mouth.Liu Yun already wanted to hit someone.

"Have you eaten well?"

"What, huh, call me sister."

"Hey, hey, it's not bad for Jizi to call her sister. You...at most...you don't want to say it."

"Hmph, carry it on your back."

After being teased by Liu Yun, Teresa said she was angry and wanted to keep it behind her back, otherwise she wouldn't play with you.Throw your head sideways, you figure it out.

To be honest, Teresa is the same as Hestia, she has a child's heart, but Liu Yun doesn't hate it.Shaking his head, he smiled and squatted down to carry Theresa on his back.

The Yae Shrine is very large and luxurious.Compared with Yae Village at the foot of the mountain, it is much more luxurious.Several cherry blossom trees are now in the blooming season, and the cherry blossoms are falling like snow, covering the surrounding paths.

Although everyone he met on the road had smiles on their faces, Liu Yun could always feel the malice surrounding him.He didn't pay attention, and slowly walked down the mountain with Teresa on his back, as if he was really just going to look around.

Walking on the mountain road on the other side of Yae Shrine, you can clearly see Yae Village surrounded by mountains at the foot of the mountain, and the almost dry river running straight through Yae Village.

So, at this time, a young girl will be chosen as a sacrifice to beg the so-called evil god, in order to ask the evil god to bless and bring down heavy rain?

"Liuyun, let's go ahead and see if it's okay." De Lisa pulled Liuyun's clothes and pointed forward.

"Don't drag me, I understand." After passing through the bamboo forests, Liuyun and Teresa came to the other side of the Yae Shrine.

Although Yae Village is located in a remote place, the scenery is definitely commendable. There are probably tens of millions of bamboos in the bamboo mountain behind.

However, the view of the bamboo forest is interrupted here.Instead, there is an extremely huge cherry blossom tree and a lonely tombstone under the tree.The other tombstones are piled together in twos and threes, but this tombstone under the cherry blossom tree stands alone here.

"I beg you, save my sister."

The ethereal voice came directly into my mind.Taking a closer look, the light gathers under the cherry blossom trees.Then a girl with long pink hair emerged from the tombstone, almost similar to Yae Sakura.The blue eyes subconsciously looked at the two people in front of them, and there was a trace of begging on the pink face.

The most important thing is that there is no hostility on this girl, and she is incompatible with this murderous stigmata space.

"Ghost!" Looking at the long pink-haired figure in front of her, Teresa subconsciously shrank behind Liu Yun in fright.

"It's okay, she's not a bad person." It's not that Theresa is timid, but that Theresa is afraid of ghosts.But the girl opposite is Yae Rin.

"Your sister?" Teresa, who was lying behind Liu Yun, poked her head out cautiously.

"Well, my sister Yae Sakura."

"Please help my sister to liberate from this cursed memory." After speaking, the girl with long pink hair bowed deeply to Liu Yun. "Only you, only you who do not belong to this world can save my sister."

"Isn't Yae Sakura the big sister just now?"

"Well, it's a coincidence that I just want to solve this matter." Looking at Yae Rin in front of him, Liu Yun replied seriously.

"Thank you..." Before she finished speaking, the girl had turned into pink light and dissipated little by little, like a withered cherry blossom.

Stop under the cherry blossom tree, make a promise with the girl.Is this also an agreement under the cherry tree?You have a good sister, Sakura.

"Liuyun, what should we do?" Teresa asked softly.The voice was very calm, still in the shock given by Rin Yae just now.

"Just follow what you did before. Anyway, solving the mystery of your stigmata must be related to lifting the curse of Yae Sakura."

"En." Continuing to glance at the cherry tree and the tombstone below, Liu Yun walked back to the shrine with Teresa on his back.

In front of the shrine, a large group of people crowded together.The bloody books written in blood are held up high in the hands.

When I got closer, I could hear the yelling that wanted to drive away the outsiders.

"Before that little girl and him appeared, there had never been any monsters in this village."

"They must have brought the disaster, drive them out quickly."

"My...my husband was killed by monsters, and I must make them pay the price!"

This group of people kept yelling these words around the shrine, as if they blamed Liuyun and Teresa for all their faults.

"Liuyun, have we offended them?" Teresa was puzzled by this.

"Hush." ​​Without answering Theresa, Liu Yun gestured to Theresa.He set his sights on Yae Sakura who was surrounded by this group of people, and beside Yae Sakura who was surrounded by the crowd, there were a few people who seemed to be of high status.

Sakura, what will you do?

………………

"There is no evidence to prove that they are related to the monster that appeared. Everyone, please give me some time and I will definitely find out the truth." Yae Sakura slightly lowered her head and said to the group of people in front of her.

"What are you still investigating? Isn't it the duty of the miko to protect everyone?"

"We enshrine you witches, and you help us, but now you want to back down." The villagers in front of them said dissatisfied.

"Not to mention the monster, the village has not had rain for almost three months. And the day of the sacrifice is just around the corner, you know what I mean." The middle-aged man in a black kimono waved his hand and looked at the Yae Sakura asked word by word.

"Father...no...God Master, what do you mean...to make her a sacrifice? It's not allowed." Yae Sakura looked at the man in front of her and shook her head in denial.She can't involve innocent people.

"The river is about to dry up. We must hurry up to make sacrifices and beg for the gods' blessings. The white-haired little girl who appeared at this time is God's will! If she is not used for sacrifices, we have to choose a virgin in the village to sacrifice To the gods. Do you want your sister Yae Rin's efforts to be in vain!" At this point, Yae Sakura's father, the god master, almost shouted.

"Rin..." Hearing the name Rin, Yae Sakura's eyes narrowed, and a sense of powerlessness gradually came to her heart.Slowly fell to the ground, whispering Rin's name.

Recalling the memories with Rin back then, the promise to go to enjoy the cherry blossoms together, and Rin's last sentence, "My sister must become an outstanding maiden." Yae Sakura's eyes lost their luster, and the sudden mental pressure was almost like a mountain. crush her.

"Don't you feel ashamed when so many of you bully a weak woman?"

Hearing this crisp and tender reprimand, Yae Sakura's absent-minded eyes once again showed a look of light.

22. People on my bridge

Putting her eyes on the two people in front of her, Yae Sakura felt her restless and fast-beating heart slowly slow down.

"Are you okay?" Teresa said after lifting Yae Sakura up and looking at a group of villagers. "Protect you, are you a group of big men useless? You need the protection of a little girl. Also, are you primitive people? You keep saying that you are gods, have you ever seen gods?"

Before Liu Yun could make a move, he watched Teresa turn on the sprayer mode, spraying everyone around her aside.Damn, I've never seen such an aggressive and full-on firepower Aunt Liuyun.However, Liu Yun can only say one thing at the moment, that he did a good job.

"You witch, that ominous white hair. It's all your fault. You must be responsible for my husband's death." A woman behind the altar pointed at Theresa and slandered loudly, if the hatred in her eyes could kill , Estimate how many times Teresa has died.

"Also, why didn't you save my younger brother? Oh god, you can obviously save him, you devil." The middle-aged man reached out and picked up a rock on the ground and threw it at Theresa.

"Heh..." Liu Yun smiled as he walked in front of Theresa and reached out to catch the flying stone.She smiled happily, and everyone could see the bright smile on Liu Yun's face.However, the coldness under his eyes flashed past.The aura rising from her body floated the clothes on her body and Theresa's pure white hair.

During the month of extreme training in the dungeon, Liu Yun really killed a lot of monsters, so many that the dropped items could not be picked up.The best manifestation is the palpitating aura rising from Liu Yun's body, which makes people feel like being naked in winter and being blown by the cold wind.

"Don't be like this, I will definitely give you an explanation." Yae Sakura tugged on Liuyun's clothes and shook her head, pleading softly.

The azure eyes stared at Liuyun, looking at the stubborn Yae Sakura in front of him, Liuyun threw the stone back in the same direction with the same strength.

"Ah!" An exclamation sounded as the stone hit.

"Have a good memory." If Yae Sakura didn't stop him, Liu Yun would have made him feel more painful than being shot for 10 minutes.The people on the bridge of Lao Tzu are the ones you can bully?

[This kid has changed a lot from the first time we met. ] God Lord looked at Liu Yun in front of him and thought silently, when he and Yae Sakura saw this kid, this guy was a younger brother, but he didn't expect to grow to this point in just a few months.

Teresa looked at Liuyun standing in front of her, and felt a little warmth in her heart. [From the very first time we met, I didn't see him through. 】

"Thank you." Yae Sakura knew that the boy in front of her had shown mercy.Otherwise, it's not just throwing stones at all.Before the boy did not hesitate to slaughter that violent monster, Yae Sakura still had a fresh memory.

"You kid, you actually hurt people maliciously, let's take him down together." The guy who was hit by the stone got up from the ground, covered his red eyes, and looked at Liu Yun viciously with the other eye.While staring at Liuyun, he did not forget to appeal to his companions.

"That's enough, give me all back." Looking at the restless people in front of her, Yae Sakura shouted loudly.

"Yes, Miko." As if feeling that he had offended Miko, the villagers slowly put down the stone in their hands and retreated.

【Are they your last hope?Yae Sakura, I will definitely destroy them, just like back then. 】

"Yae Sakura, you still need to preside over tomorrow's festival." The man known as the god master set his sights on Yae Sakura, cast a deep glance at Liu Yun, and led a group of villagers back out from the entrance of the shrine .

"Sorry for hurting you." Yae Sakura suddenly bowed deeply to Liuyun and Teresa, the self-blame in her tone was obvious.

"It's okay." Liuyun and Teresa naturally couldn't blame Yae Sakura.

"Then go in and have a rest first, I will prepare dinner, and I will give you a reasonable explanation tomorrow." Arranging the room for Liuyun and Teresa, Yae Sakura gently closed the door and exited the room.Looks like it's time to prepare dinner.

"Liuyun, you were familiar with Yae Sakura before, what should I do to help her liberate her from the cursed memory that Yae Rin said?" Lying on the table, Rao took Teresa as the S-rank Valkyrie He couldn't think of a way out of experience, so he could only tilt his head with one hand and look at Liu Yun, who was more familiar with Yae Sakura.

"To be honest, I don't know either. But the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will be a way." After stroking Theresa's head, Liu Yun also began to think.

This space is Yae Sakura's stigmata space, which records Yae Sakura's life, and if she wants to rescue her from the cursed memory, she needs to solve her life regrets.
