Chapter 11: Hell Changes

Ke Yinye and Ke Yinyu began to gradually feel uneasy as they looked at the dark night outside the cab and the accumulating clouds. Silver Night could be said to have a vivid memory of the experience of executing the Blood Word inside that apartment back then. He remembered that the first time he executed the Blood Word, it was just like this, the sky was inexplicably covered with dark clouds, and then even in broad daylight it was just like night. While beside him, his wife, Silver Feather, was talking to Li Yin who was far away in China. "We found some note paper at Midori's house, and then found the address of Kitayama Shrine. It's certain that Midori made contact with this shrine before she disappeared. I think that Midori shouldn't be dead yet; she is, after all, a Legend-class resident who once lived in an apartment for so long and was never found by the Demon King for nearly three hundred years. She shouldn't have died that simply." "Hmm, I think so too." Li Yin on the other end of the phone replied, "Combined with some of the changes in Maitian, it always feels like something big will happen next. I'm afraid that the dead Yaitian is somehow warning us that even after leaving that apartment, our nightmare still hasn't ended." Although Li Yin said such creepy words, to Silver Feather's ears, his voice was powerful and did not show any fear. This was something that made Silver Feather feel admiration from the bottom of his heart. Worthy of being the building manager of the original Hell Apartments, the spiritual leader within the hearts of countless residents. "Silver Feather. Give the cell phone to Silver Night." "Good." Silver Night then took the cell phone. "Silver Night, don't give up hope. We once defeated despair itself, and this time, we can definitely surpass despair once again. The tragedy that once happened, I will never let it repeat itself." These words, coming from Li Yin's mouth, were indeed very convincing. Because Silver Night knew very well what kind of terrible despair Li Yin had faced, and how he had created a miracle, defeating and sealing the Demon King in the apartment with the flesh and blood body of a mere mortal. The silver night also know what Li Yin said "tragedy", that is afraid that his life will never forget the brand of pain. "Speaking of which, …… can't contact Deep Rain." Li Yin said with a little regret, "After leaving the apartment, she was always in pain, so she chose to cut off contact with us." Speaking of Deep Rain, Silver Night still remembered the expression on her face when she parted ways with her. Although she managed to escape from death, her mental anguish had not diminished at all. The people she loved had died in the apartment's bloody instructions, and on top of that, she believed that she had committed an unforgivable sin and didn't deserve happiness with them. And I wonder where she is now and what she's doing? …… Dong Evil and Dong Ning followed behind Himura Hanabi as a sliding door was opened in front of them, and through a screen of ukiyo-e painted with horrifying images of evil spirits in front of them, they saw a figure behind the screen. "Mother." Himura Hanabi bowed her head respectfully, "I've brought the two clients I made an appointment with earlier." Dong Qi looked at the figure behind the screen, which said softly, "The two of you, please have a seat." The woman behind the screen actually spoke a rather fluent Chinese. This was something that made Dong Xie quite surprised. "I'll go and cook tea for the two of you." Dong Xie and Dong Ning were very unaccustomed to sitting down on their knees in this tatami room, feeling really a bit uncomfortable. Risking his life to come here, there was only one purpose, and that was to find a way to expel that back spirit that had most likely been following him all along. "Flame, you stay." The woman said in Japanese again, "Stay here and watch a bit, you can also study and learn so that you can assist Miss Jing Huang in the future." "Yes, mother." Himura Hanabi slowly sat down. Dong Xie began to get nervous at this point. "Seeing that you guys are anxious, I won't make some unnecessary pleasantries. Let's just …… get straight to the point. The purpose of you guys coming here is because you want me to remove the spirit for you, right?" Dong Xie quickly nodded his head. "Yes!" "Then, you guys are overly concerned. You have not been entangled by any spirits." This sentence, however, caused both Dong Xie and Dong Ning to freeze. No …… there? Dong Xie immediately took out his cell phone from his body, clicked on the photo of the circle of friends that he had screenshot in the beginning, and said, "Well, can you take a look at this photo?" Himura Hanabi took the phone from Dong Xie, then walked behind the screen and handed it to her mother. A moment of silence followed. After a long time, a voice came from behind the screen. "You really …… are unfortunate." As soon as these words came out, Dong Xie's heart sank! "That ……" "But don't worry about it. 'It' did not continue to haunt you. I swear on my honor and life as the temporary witch of Kitayama Shrine." A big difference between the Japanese and the Chinese was that honor and disgrace were very important to them, even higher than life, which was why historically the Japanese often committed harakiri because their honor was swept away. What's more, spreading such a lie, the other party is completely unprofitable, on the contrary if there is no evil spirit behind Dong Xie she intentionally lied that there is, that's still more reasonable. "Both of us, we don't have such a problem, do we? Or is that evil spirit just not following me right now ……" "You can rest assured for now that it won't be what you say it is." "Then …… you just said I was unfortunate ……" "That's literally what it means." Dong Xie suddenly vaguely realized, could it be that this witch could tell that she was an apartment dweller? "Can you please tell me what the so-called misfortune is?" Dong Xie was anxious, he wanted to know the truth. The woman behind the screen, however, replied, "That I don't know. I specialize in spirit removal, not divination." "That'll do, the two of you." Himura Hanabi, on the other hand, said from the sidelines, "If Mother-sama says so, you can all rest easy for now." Dong Ning hurriedly said, "But if the so-called misfortune is not explained ……" "It can be." However, Himura Hanabi said, "Mother won't say more." Although Dong Xie and Dong Ning were very reluctant, it was clear that the conversation could not continue. This was in someone else's territory, and offending the other party would not benefit them. At least it was certain that the evil spirit did not continue to pester them, and that was enough. The duo was thus sent out by Himura Hanabi, and then, behind the screen, a middle-aged woman with her hair in a bun and wearing a blue and purple kimono came out. Although the woman's age seemed to be already in her forties, but her charm was still intact, and it could be seen that she was definitely a beauty when she was young . After a long time, Himura Hanabi returned. "Mother." "Did you learn anything?" "I still, don't quite understand. Why don't you explain it to them a little more clearly?" "Hanabi, do you know why it is often not the disease that humans hate when it worsens, but the doctor who treats them?" Hearing this, Himura Hanabi gave a thoughtful look. "The reasoning is the same. People always think that we are just like doctors, and are supposed to be omnipotent. If we don't treat it, we're incompetent. Why should I tell them about something that is destined to remain unchanged? In that case, do you think that in the future they will be grateful to me, or will they hate me and think that I cursed them?" Himura Hanabi seemed to have some clarity. "I never remove spirits from situations I can't handle. That invites nothing more than resentment. There's no need to say too much, or nothing at all, it's enough to get the measure of it." Himura Hanabi looked back and said, "What will happen to them …… in the future?" "That man, without the slightest realization …… of what kind of curse he has suffered." "What exactly is …… in that picture?" In the face of this question from Himura Hanabi, her mother, Himura Kara, slightly raised her hand, stroked her bangs, and said, "It's better for you, not to know." At that moment, she looked towards the screen. The floating world painting on this screen was none other than the Hell Change. "Flower Flame, this world, it's even more cruel than you can imagine." When she said the word "cruel", she increased her tone. It was the first time Flower Flame saw her mother show such an expression. She couldn't help but wonder what kind of terrifying existence the evil spirit in that picture was. And at this time, Dong Xie and Dong Ning had just walked out of this house when they saw Beishan Jinglong walking not far away. Because they had video chatted before, Dong Xie instantly recognized him. Just as he was about to greet him, Dong Xie suddenly saw another woman walk out behind him. The woman was quite pretty, and at this moment, she slowly arrived in front of Dong Xie and Dong Ning. "You're the Black Ghost Flame, aren't you?" The woman raised her hand and said to Dong Qi, "My name is Pu Shenyu, and I have …… always wanted to meet you."
