Chapter 50: The Purpose of Pu Shenyu

Now, there were two paths for the occupants. Either they should go to the Wheel-in Dojo, or they should go to the Gushikan. Kitayama Kagehiko herself was probably in the Rinin Dojo, while the so-called "meat" was in the Gushu Tori Hall. The latter point, Kitayama Jinghuang himself was also sure. "Let's …… let's …… well, organize the information first." Several people were currently under the eaves of a house in front of the Wheel-in Dojo. For every occupant, it was chaotic. Mo Yuan, who was the building manager, barely organized his language and said, "Well, so, the so-called meat is actually ……" He didn't say any more because he had already noticed Kitayama Jinghuang's expression that was ready to gag at any moment. "Well ……," Qin Ziyuan also said unnaturally at this time, "The question now is, is eating the meat, the way to life?" As soon as this question came out, everyone's faces were hard to see. Even, all felt their stomachs begin to turn a bit. But to be honest, it wasn't impossible to say that this was truly the way to life. "Let me confirm once more ……" Mo Yuan looked at Ming Chenyan and Beishan Jinghuang in front of him, and asked with all solemnity, "At that time, you all did hear that eating meat… . will be able to not die?" "Well, that's true." Mo Yuan remembered a speculative fiction novel he read in college, The Dark Hall Murder Incident, written by Ayatsuji Pedro, a famous Japanese Bengali speculative fiction writer. One of Mo Yuan's biggest hobbies besides photography was reading speculative fiction. The Dark Hall Murders is the seventh and longest installment in Ayatsuji's Hall series. The plot is based on the story of a family that believes in demons and immortality, kills a magical girl who has made a pact with the King of Darkness, preserves her flesh for a long time, and acquires an ageless and immortal body by consuming her flesh. Of course, it's speculative fiction, not horror, which is clearly a superstitious fool's errand for the characters in the book. The plot of that novel was literally the same as this bloodletter quest. At that time when he read this book, he felt that the Japanese really had a big enough brain to come up with such perverted content. Now it seemed that reality was even crazier than fiction. "Grandfather did have a deep obsession with immortality. I now suddenly wonder if that's why Aunt Yukie wanted to die even more instead." Kitayama Jinghuang suddenly uttered these words. "You guys should have heard of something like Kamikaze or something like that. In the late Pacific War, the Americans didn't even dare to accept the surrender if they didn't let the surrendering Japanese soldiers strip naked, for fear that they might be hiding bombs. However, maternal grandfather did not want to go to war because he was afraid of death. The fact that there were deserters in the family also caused our family to be laughed at after the war. In everyone's eyes, going to die for the sake of the country seemed like the natural thing to do." "That was a sinful war." Mo Yuan said word for word, "To die for such a war is a deserved death!" This was something that involved the country, the bottom line of the nation, and Mo Yuan didn't half hesitate when he spoke these words. Moreover, he felt that he had even said it politely. "He's right." Silver Feather's expression was also solemn, "And, we have no interest in talking about this with you." Kitayama Jinghuang reached out a hand and pressed it to his chest, "I'm well aware of that. My father is Chinese." Jing Huang could actually instead understand why his maternal grandfather and his older brother had run away from the war. It was more than normal to be afraid of death and run away from it. What's more, it was a war like that. In contrast, instead, Aunt Yukie, who would always be thinking about dying, thinking about committing suicide, was instead something she couldn't understand. There was no way for her to understand the feelings of someone who wanted to go and commit suicide. "My point of view is that it's better to go to the Wheel-in Dojo." Mo Yuan no longer wasted any more time and directly stated his point of view, "With the information we currently have, we can't tell if this is the way to life. Moreover, even if this is the way of life, it is unlikely to be that straightforward. The fact that we were trapped in the previous house was simply for us to hear that passage." Mo Yuan's words were also echoed by the other occupants. Indeed, it was almost as if they were deliberately made to hear the words, and then the door simply opened. It was exactly the same as what Silver Feather had said, that after fulfilling the conditions of the clues to the living path, they were just let out the door. "It's possible that the clues are hidden inside the words we heard, or maybe this meat thing is just to attract our attention and cover up the real clues." Qin Ziyuan went the other way and offered another opinion, "I'm also in favor of going to the Wheel-in Dojo. In terms of the timing of the Bloodletter quest, it's still not too late." Speaking of this, Mo Yuan and Qin Ziyuan both looked at Silver Feather. This great senior's opinion was also something that the duo valued greatly. Silver Feather still couldn't find Silver Night so far and was naturally quite anxious in her heart. Although she was still forcibly maintaining her rationality right now, she was actually just holding on. If anything happened to Silver Night, she really didn't know how to live next. "Go to the Wheel-in Dojo." …… Pu Shenyu only felt her neck was cold. At this time, she felt as if she had returned to the inside of her apartment. Everything from the past was still fresh in her mind. Whether it was in the past, or now, Pu Shenyu thought that she was a person who had sinned deeply. Why was it that she had survived when so many residents had been buried in the bloodletter mission? This mentality had tormented herself for the nine years she had left the apartment. Until …… Until she met Beishan Jinglong. She was extremely shocked at the first sight of Jing Tianlong, also known as North Mountain Jinglong. Since they were both writers for Singularity.com, the two met at an annual conference organized by Singularity.com. In the past, Shamu could draw a kind of precognitive painting due to some kind of cursed ability inherited from her father. This kind of drawing must be a phenomenon that will happen in the future of the Bloodletter Quest. And now, this ability is no longer available to her. However, the precognitive drawings she used to draw in the past, she remembered them all clearly. And not every drawing, she had checked with all the Blood Characters afterward. Kitayama Jinglong's appearance had once appeared in her drawings. And most importantly, another key figure had appeared in the paintings related to him. That key figure was someone who was supposed to be already dead. So, she approached this man named Kitayama Jinglong. She did not expect the latter to fall in love with her. However, she also asked something about the Kitayama Shrine from Kitayama Jinglong. It must have something to do with the character that was supposed to be dead on the precognitive painting she drew in the past. Because, she could be certain that Kitayama Kageyu and that person had absolutely never met before, nor could they have crossed paths. After learning about the Kitayama family's ability to remove spirits, she realized that it would be possible that this would have something to do with the Blood Character Quest. In the future, it was possible that there would be an apartment dweller who would perform the Bloodletter Mission. The name of that key person was Chu Yizhen. He was the younger brother of Li Yin's wife, Chu Yizhen. In the past, he had also been one of the apartment residents. And for Sham Yu, she could finally survive in the apartment, he paid a great sacrifice. For Shamu, the only purpose of agreeing to marry Kitayama Jinglong was that she hoped to be able to enter the Kitayama Shrine and find out the truth about the Bloodletter Mission. She didn't know when the Blood Letter Mission would start, and could only be sure that it was highly likely that it had something to do with the Kitayama Shrine. If she hadn't gotten married to Kitayama Jinglong, there was no reason for her to keep going deeper into the truth about this family. That precognitive painting was extremely terrifying. No matter what, she wanted to stop that painting from becoming a reality. Of course, since she had agreed to get married, she would fulfill her wifely duties properly. However, even after receiving the marriage license, Kitayama Jinglong and her still kept opening the car towards the kindergarten. When she met Dong Evil, she realized that the Bloodletter mission was about to begin. However, she did not tell the truth to Dong Xie and Dong Ning, incomplete clues may instead have the potential to mislead the residents, she was planning to find a suitable time to say it. But now …… What is the situation? She stroked her cold neck and looked at the labyrinth-like corridor in front of her. Here, she had been wandering for a long time, but she simply couldn't walk out. Now, she had a premonition that perhaps the precognitive painting she had once drawn, corresponding to …… was not this Bloodletter quest!
