Chapter 26: Reflection
Now, to Mo Yuan and the others, the Himura Flower Flame in front of them, was she really still a living person? At this time, to continue to follow her to the Kitayama Family Shrine, was this not looking for death? But the question was, if one stayed away from her in front, and looked for a way out on their own in this crisis-ridden sea of trees, was it possible to trigger a dead end trap and die? This was simply an incomparably fatal choice question. And as long as this question was chosen wrongly, the consequences would be unimaginable. Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan and Nie Han glanced at each other, while in this short period of time, the brains of the three of them raced, judging which course of action would be better through the information they had obtained so far, as well as their past experiences with the Blood Character. However, no matter how smart one was, it was difficult to make a correct judgment under the premise of a severe lack of intelligence. No one could be omniscient, and at times like these, experience would sometimes become a shackle instead. Intelligence only deduced that people could research and judge more possibilities, but it could never allow anyone to have a God's perspective. Not to mention them, even the apple-chewing, glasses-wearing, Tinkerbell-named Chu triple-naked man from a certain famous internet article couldn't do it. "Continue following her first." Mo Yuan pondered for a long time before coming to this conclusion. Qin Ziyuan also thought that way. The reason was also very simple, even if Himura Hanabi was really a non-human, she was still subject to the restrictions that the apartment had in the Blood Word mission, and couldn't kill anyone before they obtained all the clues to their path to life. However, if they left her alone to find their own way out of this kind of forest, then it was highly likely that they would trigger a dead end and all five of them would be killed here. On balance, it could only be the lesser of two evils. However, Mo Yuan, Qin Ziyuan and Nie Han all knew that the current situation was only their speculation. In the worst case scenario, one could not rule out the possibility that the Himura Flame in front of them would lead them into a death trap. Even if it was a more ideal scenario, there was still the possibility that she would suddenly turn right back around and strike. Therefore, they also began to pay attention to pulling away from the Hanabi in front of them. Even though they were all very clear that even if they pulled away, if the other party really wanted to kill, they wouldn't survive. The most fundamental reason why the Triumvirate could survive until today was because they were adept at utilizing the apartment's restrictions on the evil spirits, thus being able to buy more buffer time before deriving clues from the birth path. "Everyone." Just at this time, Flower Fire suddenly said, "Next, when I speak, please make sure to lower your heads …… especially the one with the transparent umbrella." The one with the transparent umbrella was none other than Mo Yuan. He had watched a horror movie in the past, and it was through the transparent umbrella that he saw the true form of the evil spirits. Ming Chenyan heard the words and immediately translated them to the others. And earlier, Dong Xie had also sent the same content to them on WeChat. So, a few people weren't surprised. And Dong Xie carefully mentioned in the weibo group what he experienced at that time, when he kept his head down, and at that time, he only heard, some very strange sounds. Mo Yuan remembers clearly, Dong Xie's description at that time was "he heard a sound like a screw rotating from the top of his head". What kind of sound is this? Then, should he do the same? From the information Dong Xie had sent, at least one thing could be ascertained, and that was that at least those who had followed Himura Flower Flame had survived in the end. Therefore, from a prudent point of view, it is better to listen to her now. Only …… to Mo Yuan, he was really extremely disgusted with this feeling of life and death being manipulated in the hands of others. He now, still clearly remembered what Fang Han had said to himself back then. "I will never beg for others to beg for mercy, and I will never let anyone manipulate my life and death!" Mo Yuan would never forget the Fang Han who had uttered those words at that time. Though to put it in a simpler way, these words were just a bad example of "My life is up to me, not to Heaven". However, unlike novels and movies, Fang Han was able to change his fate and create a miracle in reality. Until now, Mo Yuan would never forget Fang Han who had completed the tenth bloodletter mission and was able to return. At that time, Fang Han had been able to obtain the opportunity to make a wish before executing the tenth Blood Word, and as a result, he had also learned about the limitations of the scope of the wish. Mo Yuan had fallen into despair when he learned that he was unable to revive Shadow Moon, but when he saw Fang Han return alive, he was so excited that he burst into tears. Those who hadn't personally experienced it had no idea how much effort Fang Han had put in and what kind of miracle he had created in order to be able to leave the apartment alive. All the way to the present, Mo Yuan still thought of Fang Han at that time from time to time when he was in despair. At this moment, Mo Yuan was still completely unaware that Fang Han was now monitoring the apartment's occupants, not to mention that he had already made contact with both Qin Ziyuan and Nie Han before and after respectively. "Alright, please lower your head immediately." Akatsuhiko quickly translated Himura Hanabi's words. As a result, the occupants immediately lowered their heads. Regardless, with Dong Qi's previous physical behavior, the occupants decided to do as they were told. At times like this, it was better not to do the curiosity killed the cat act, they weren't horror movie protagonists who always did what they weren't allowed to do. Only, such a stretch of road was destined to be very difficult. Every resident, at this moment, even their breath was almost held, their expressions became extremely stiff, every time they took a step, they were careful, to say that they were walking on thin ice would be an understatement. Because of the rain, a large number of puddles were formed around the area, and they didn't dare to step directly on them to make water noises, for fear of disturbing those unclean things. In contrast, Himura Hanabi's footsteps were much lighter and quicker, and there was absolutely no sign of any abnormality. At this moment, almost every resident felt inwardly that there was a great possibility that this woman was not a living person at all. And as soon as they thought of this, they were even more afraid to get close to her, at the same time their sights stared at her feet, as long as her feet stopped or walked back, they immediately prepared to escape. And just at this time …… suddenly they all heard that a voice came from the top of the umbrella! Across an umbrella, that sound was clearly transmitted down, making every occupant shudder. And just as Dong Xie described it, it seemed to be like the sound made by something spinning. What on earth was that contraption above their heads right now? Mo Yuan clenched his teeth as he repeatedly pondered whether continuing to keep his head down like this would …… Just then, he passed another puddle and was about to cross over …… In the sky, a thunderbolt crossed fiercely, instantly illuminating his feet as if it were daytime! On the reflection of the puddle, Mo Yuan clearly saw, on the surface of his transparent umbrella, a body whose neck was suspended from the trees, was rotating with the rope sheath, and at this time, it was lowering its head, staring down at Mo Yuan and the others in death!
