Chapter 60: Eternal Happiness and Momentary Illusion
Dong Ning had read the bloodstained records of the past and knew very well what Pu Shenyu had once done. She had deliberately sent her precognitive paintings to the residents and then guided them to do evil in exchange for new precognitive paintings. The most extreme was that she had once guided a certain resident named Bian Xingchen to kill her sister because of this. Frankly speaking, she had nothing to do with the term "good people". Killing such a person really didn't require too much psychological burden. Dong Xie immediately walked up and pulled Dong Ning into a hug! "Ning." He gave Dong Ning a look, the meaning of which couldn't have been more obvious. "Miss Pu, we'll take you out." Dong Xie spoke firmly, "Please don't worry." The Pu Shenyu in front of her eyes was slack-eyed and stumbling. There was no doubt that Dong Xie and Dong Ning really wouldn't take much effort if they were to kill her. It s almost as if the apartment had taken the initiative to send a …… life path for them! Just as these words were finished, the door behind them, unexpectedly, opened! Dong Xie only felt his heart turn cold. The toughest part of this Bloodletter mission to complete, was actually to cross the hurdle of humanity? Dong Xie trembled as he raised his hand, and he associated countless things in a split second at this moment. He wanted to live, he didn't want to die at all. But he also didn't want to kill. Ironically …… Pu Shenyu had once completely despaired of humanity because of her miserable life, had once used her precognitive paintings to deliberately guide the occupants to kill each other, and now she herself had been turned into an experiment in humanity by the blood word mission. However, even knowing that Pu Shenyu's hands were stained with blood, she was not an innocent person. But that didn't mean one could go ahead and kill the other person. Just when he was still in a fierce mental struggle, suddenly, an odd sound came from upstairs. That sound was as horrifying as a snake crawling on the ground! Dong Ning immediately walked up and pulled on Pu Shenyu's hand. "Go!" With that, the three of them rushed out of the Gushu Bird Hall! In the pouring rain, Dong Ning glanced at Pu Shenyu and said to Dong Xie, "If we follow her, we might be able to leave the Sea of Lost Trees!" Dong Xie realized that it was most likely because she had eaten the meat. However, he was puzzled by one thing: before, Himura Hanabi had been able to walk outside the Sea of Trees to pick up Mo Yuan and the others, so why had she not taken the people who had eaten the meat outside to kill them? Or was it that at that time, it wasn't yet at a level to allow the flesh-eaters to leave the Sea of Trees? "Why did you say follow me …… Wait, we're leaving the shrine?" Pu Shenyu suddenly realized that something was wrong and said, "You guys wait! Jinglong he ……" "The rest of the Kitayama family is dead!" Dong Ning lied without blinking, "Now there's only a few of us, we've already found a way to survive the Blood Character Quest, follow you and we'll be able to leave!" Dong Ning had clearly made up his mind. If he had to be killed, then out of all the people who matched the conditions, Pu Shenyu was the most suitable. They were the only ones who knew the way of life, and even if they killed her, no one would know that it was them who had done it, and they wouldn't fall out with the old residents. Although Pu Shenyu didn't directly kill anyone back then, she did personally direct the deaths of others. Since this was the case, heaven's justice and retribution should be meted out, and she herself should pay the price! Using her death in exchange for the survival of a new generation of residents, in Dong Ning's opinion, this was considered her atonement. She had even thought about it as well, if her brother couldn't lay his hands on her, then let her do it! At this time, Dong Xie could be said to be quite complex inside. He knew Dong Ning too well, she had already made up her mind at this point. Was it really necessary to use such a means to achieve a way of life? Or was this really the final way to life? Taking a step back, even if this was the way to life, was this the only way to life? Nowadays, inside movies, TV dramas and novels, but whenever someone is called a saintly mother's disease for having compassion for the lives of others in their heart. But where the protagonist is concerned, it seems that the more decisive they are, the more they are liked. But in Dong Xie's opinion, this was nothing more than a kind of refined egoism. Killing an enemy who was a threat to one's life was of course correct, but arbitrarily depriving others of their lives for the sake of survival was another matter. Those who oppose the Virgin Mary, in later years, all begin to become opposed to morality itself. It was because morality itself would often be a shackle to maximizing profit. Dong Xie once again looked back, but this moment …… His entire being felt a chill surging up from behind him! Behind him, roughly ten meters away, there was an area where the rain would be automatically bounced off once it fell, forming a vacuum zone that was completely free of rain! And this vacuum zone formed the outline of a humanoid! And that vacuum zone formed a humanoid silhouette that was continuously approaching towards them! The speed …… was fast! "Run! Ning, spread your legs and run!" Another thunderbolt swept through the dark sky, and after Dong Ning also looked back, she lost her face in fear and immediately pulled Deep Rain to rush towards the sea of trees in front of her! There was no choice left! Once the evil spirits chased them up, there was only one word for the end of the brother and sister duo, death! Dong Xie only felt tormented inside, he was still thinking about whether there was any other way to survive, but right now, he didn't have much time to think. Reality was in front of him, and he only had one way out! He glanced at Pu Shenyu. Was this really the only way? To be honest, he could no longer tell how many people within the Kitayama Shrine were living and how many were dead. The senior Kitayama Shinshin was most likely already a dead man who had become an undead soul still residing within this shrine because he had eaten meat. Running wildly along the way, soon, the shrine's torii came into view. Escape from this sea of trees and kill Pu Shenyu, and this bloodletter quest will end …… But just at the moment when he was about to escape the birdhouse, Dong Xie suddenly thought of something. "Ah Ning!" "What's wrong, brother?" "According to what Mo Yuan said, Himura Hanabi was outside to pick them up at that time ……" Bringing a person who ate meat out of the shrine to kill …… so that the problems within the shrine could be calmed. But Himura Hanabi could have walked outside the tree, so why didn't she bring a flesh-eater there to kill him? Why? "Himura Hanabi didn't kill that person!" This was Dong Xie's first thought, "She didn't have the heart to do it! Let that person go!" In other words, there was still a person from the Kitayama Clan within the Sea of Trees who had eaten the meat now! That person could also be the way to life! With that thought, Dong Xie and Dong Ning had rushed into the depths of the Sea of Trees in front of them with Pu Shenyu. But, even so, the question remains, the difference is just whether to kill Kamen Ru or that person. Assuming that Himura Hanabi didn't have the heart to kill that person, and instead let him go …… A person who could be killed by Himura Hanabi, I'm afraid, is not a male …… No, it might not be …… Judging from the current situation, there were definitely people inside the shrine who were carrying firearms. If they brought firearms, a woman could also kill the other party. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid that the oil from Himura Hanabi's lantern also came from the corpse oil on the corpse of the dead Kitayama Shingo …… so that it was possible to rely on that lantern to cross that sea of trees! And …… choosing a junior who doesn't know about it would be more convenient. However, it can't be Kitayama Makuho who is the successor of the witch …… Kitayama Jinglong appeared inside the shrine, so it can't be him …… "Kitayama Yuanyi!" Dong Qi immediately thought of this person! According to Mo Yuan, they hadn't seen Kitayama Yuanyi once …… after entering the shrine! Kitayama Yuanyi as a male could not become a witch heir, in this family must emphasize women over men, and I'm afraid that Kitayama Yuanyi's father, Kitayama Jinji's status would also be relatively low. Then, the possibility that Kitayama Yuichi doesn't even know this secret behind the family is much higher. If the apartment wanted to arrange it as another way of life, then it was very likely that even if Kitayama Yuichi was let go, he might not be able to leave too far under this ability of having a spatially cursed evil spirit. After running through the sea of trees for a long time, they didn't encounter the evil spirit once, but when they looked back, they couldn't see if there was still that rainwater vacuum outline because it was too dark here. What to do? Kill Pu Shenyu now, or? However, inside this sea of trees, they did not encounter any obstacles, and in the blink of an eye, they rushed out to the sea of trees! Obviously, besides the effect of the deep rain that had eaten the meat, I'm afraid that this was also the apartment's suppression of the evil spirits! It was to give them a chance! But just moments after running out of the sea of trees, Dong Xie heard a voice. "Save me! Quickly save me! How can I not get out of this forest surrounding!" Dong Xie fixed his eyes and immediately saw Kitayama Yuichi! He was seen running towards Dong Xie, while Dong Ning was suddenly shouting, "Run towards the back, your father is right behind you!" For Dong Ning, who had watched Japanese dramas for years, she could still speak that simple Japanese conversation. As soon as Kitayama Yuichi froze, he immediately said, "Really?" Then without waiting for an answer, he ran towards the back! Seeing this scene, Dong Xie was shocked, he wanted to open his mouth to obstruct, but …… was opening his mouth without uttering a single syllable. Afterward, he could only look ahead and continue to run. Until a …… sharp scream resounded behind him …… At this time, he thought of the words he heard earlier from the father and son of the North Mountain family. "Thinking that you can live happily ever after …… is nothing more than a momentary illusion ……"
