"You...you're the boss?" Feiyuwan, her eyes brimming with tears from Mo Mo's grip, still found it hard to believe. The eldest sister?! Mo Mo involuntarily tightened her grip.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch! Big sister... Ah, no, boss, I was wrong! I really know I was wrong!" After giving Fei Yuwan a good workout, Huang Mo said, "I'll go rescue someone and come right back. You just stand here and don't move." "Or do you want to come with me to rescue someone?" Wei Wang Yuwan glanced timidly at Ba Chongman on Liu Xingtai, and then at Mo Mo in front of her.

"If you don't want to, then forget it. I'm not forcing you." "I'm going!" Himeko made up her mind immediately. "Otherwise, Boss might be in danger!"

Although he was genuinely touched, Mo Mo felt subtly looked down upon. "Fine, I won't argue with this naive little girl," he thought. "Let's go then." Mo Mo grabbed the floating jade ball, put the purple mask on, and said, "I'm going to see just how capable this Lady Lü really is. Besides, this isn't the first time I've done something like storming the execution ground."

On the execution platform, having ignited the flames of passion in the villagers' hearts, Yae Sakura made no further moves, her mask obscuring any glimpse of her expression.

Amidst the roaring waves, Yae Sakura remained unmoved, only her grip on the hilt of her sword tightened. Finally, after the sun reached its zenith on the horizon, Yae Sakura stirred.

The fake-colored dagger was drawn from its sheath. This sacred sword, worshipped by the clan for generations, gleamed in the sunlight, but within its pure cherry blossom color, a hint of blood red seemed to flicker, causing unease among those who noticed it. "The time has come." These four simple words silenced the villagers below, the commotion instantly cooling, but their gazes remained fixed on the figure about to be "judged." They anticipated the moment the head would fall, when countless drops of rain would rain down from the sky. However, compared to the unseen rain, someone's speed was faster, transforming into a purple shadow that leaped onto the execution platform, standing between Karen and Yae. "Who is it!" the villagers below cried out in alarm. "Hmph. Since you've already testified to your conscience..." Mo Zhong, who had just been reciting his lines, quickly jumped back, overwhelmed by the sudden attack.

"What's wrong with you? I haven't even finished my lines and you're already making moves? (Holding the Slow Snow)" Chongying remained unmoved by Mo Mo's questioning, speaking with a chilling aura, "Kill those who perform the resistance ritual."

No one could question what the Sakura Empire said. They truly dared not utter a word.

"Boss! Boss, are you alright!" Zeng Xi arrived late, and Fei Yuwan floated to Mo Mo's side, asking anxiously, "You've been chosen? You want to kill me for this? You're far from it." Mo Mo stared intently at his sister-in-law, afraid that this unpredictable guy would launch an attack at any moment.

The villagers, having witnessed the scene on the stage, erupted into chaos. "Another outsider!" "He's trying to stop the ritual. If it fails, we're all doomed!" "And that weirdo next to her! - He must have come here to destroy our Eightfold Village!" Some villagers pointed at Himeko, saying, "Look at her sharp claws, her ferocious appearance, and that tail like flames behind her... a demon! - She must be a powerful demon!" "I'm not, I didn't," Vigota quickly turned to the villagers, trying to explain. "I'm very clear, I won't hurt anyone." Besides, how bad must those villagers' eyesight be to mistake this seemingly harmless little creature for a powerful being? But Himeko's explanations were futile, completely ignored by the villagers. "Miko-sama, quickly kill these outsiders and demons!"

"Slay the outsiders and demons!" With one person taking the lead, the rest began shouting loudly. "I...I'm not a demon!" Amidst the overwhelming roar, Himeko was forced to retreat, tears welling in her eyes. Sakura Empire, wielding the Slow Snow Blade, remained watchful, but unlike before, it didn't suddenly attack. However, the killing intent that tightly surrounded Mo Mo was undeniable.

The waves of sound surged higher and higher, and Feiyu Maru retreated until she pressed herself against someone's back. "Bang bang bang—" Mo Mo silently raised the aria in his hand and pulled the trigger.

7. The Collapse of the "World"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Three consecutive gunshots instantly drowned out the deafening shouts, as if some magic had magically extinguished the surging, furious waves. All the villagers were terrified by this sudden turn of events. Those standing at the front stood frozen, staring blankly at the bullet holes, just feet away from their feet, still wisps of smoke rising, speechless. After a few seconds of stunned silence, everyone instinctively and quickly retreated a few steps, their gazes towards Mo Mo shifting from hostility to utter fear. "Bang! Bang!" Mo Mo fired the alarm again, but it only kicked up a cloud of dust at their feet.

Watching the villagers retreat in growing fear, Mo Mo's lips curled into a faint smile beneath his mask. "Once the performance begins, please refrain from loud noise. As audience members, all you need to do is keep your mouths shut and watch carefully. Otherwise..."

Bringing the gun to his lips and blowing lightly, Mo Mo continued the slightly paused sentence, "I'm about to invite a few spectators to join this performance, you know~" Clearly, this was a blatant threat. However, Mo Mo felt no guilt towards these villagers, whom he felt absolutely no liking. In fact, his continued "kind words of advice" were enough to prove his good heart. The villagers wisely stopped their ear-splitting shouts, but a continuous murmur arose. "Is that a fire bowl that outsider is holding? I've heard of things like that outside, things that can take lives without lifting a finger."

"What kind of firearm is this? Have you ever seen a firearm like this? This is clearly sorcery! Just like that demon, these outsiders must have come here to destroy our village."

"We can only rely on the priestess." "The priestess will surely be able to deal with these outsiders, and then she can put an end to the god's wrath!" Go, priestess! All the villagers cast hopeful glances at Chongying, who stood facing Mo Mo on the execution platform. However, to avoid their own heads bursting open on the ground, they abandoned their traditional act of cheering for Chongying. "Hmph, truly disappointing..." Mo Mo, quite satisfied with the effect of his intimidation tactics, glanced at the fearful villagers, but noticed that the young woman he had grabbed seemed to have a strange expression.

Himeko's eyes seemed to have two bright light bulbs, and her gaze towards Mo Mo was clearly gleaming. "Big...big...big...big...big...so handsome!"

It seems that the mental breakdown caused by Wu Hui earlier has now completely healed. Clearing his mind of unnecessary thoughts, Mo Mo finally remembered that he came to this execution platform not just to show off his presence, but to have important business to attend to. While keeping a watchful eye on Chong Ying, Mo Mo approached Karen in the center of the execution platform. However, despite all the dramatic changes that had just occurred, Karen, dressed in a nun's habit, remained motionless with her head bowed.

"Hey, are you alright?" Convinced she wasn't the Karen he knew, Mo Mo tried a different approach. However, he received no response.

After a gentle push, her previously motionless body suddenly tilted slightly and collapsed onto the execution platform. She seemed to have already lost consciousness, and the situation appeared dire. "Hey!" Mo Mo pointed at Chongying with the Dark Aria in his hand, demanding, "What exactly did you do to her?" "My purpose has always been singular," Yae Sakura coldly replied, glancing at Sakura Fubuki, "to punish those outsiders who have angered the gods and brought defilement to this land. This applies to her as well, including you all!"

As the tone of the sentence rose, Mo Mo's attention also increased, and he clearly saw the movement of Chongying's feet.

1. Chongying's swaying figure dodged the bullets, instantly closing the distance between herself and Mo Mo to half. Grabbing Sakura Fubuki's wrist, she swiftly unleashed a deadly sword strike. "Boss, be careful!" The sudden, chilling aura sent shivers down Himeko's spine, even her large, bushy tails stood on end. Just as the cherry-colored blade was about to strike Mo Mo's face, another familiar gunshot rang out. The incoming blade jerked violently, deflecting the attack and missing its mark. However, Chongying's hand, gripping the sword, didn't falter for even a moment, immediately shifting the angle...

"Close combat?" Despite the imminent threat, Mo Mo showed no sign of nervousness. "I won't give up either!" In this near-face-to-face situation, Mo Mo used his dual pistols to exchange blows with Sakura's longsword.

Flashes of fire and glint of blades, the clanging of gun barrels and the clashing of weapons. "The priestess has entered! The priestess has made contact with the outsider!" And then there were the gasps of the villagers, who had somehow reappeared below the execution platform. But Mo Mo had no time to spare for a few shots to their heads. Despite her seemingly imposing presence, Chong Ying hadn't gained any advantage. Yet, she showed no tension or haste, simply continuing to wield her blade. Each attack was aimed at decisively taking Mo Mo's head, but she couldn't break through his defenses. Instead, she was constantly outmaneuvered by Mo Mo's counterattacks and occasional...

"The priestess is still attacking! The priestess hasn't given up yet!"

The increasingly agitated noise from below the stage had no effect on the two people on it. Just as Mo Mo had said before, this high ground, originally prepared for execution, had become a stage specially prepared for the two of them.

In the brief moment when a bullet, aimed at an angled blade, caused Sakura to lose her balance, Mo Mo bent his knee and kicked out, accurately striking Sakura's wrist. Sakura's longsword instantly flew from her hand, spun several times in the air, and fell straight down, embedding itself in the execution platform. Another kick struck Sakura's abdomen. Her not-so-strong body displayed its fragility to the fullest at this moment, and she was easily kicked away, landing on the execution platform.

The villagers stared in disbelief at what they were witnessing. Their invincible priestess, who had vanquished every demon she had ever defeated, had been defeated by this unknown outsider. It was like a bolt from the blue, exploding in everyone's hearts. How could this be? The priestess had been defeated! "What are we going to do?" "Are we going to be slaughtered by this despicable outsider?" "Is Yae Village going to be destroyed today?" "Heaven is going to destroy Yae Village!"

Having no time to consider the utter chaos of the crowd below the execution platform, Mo Mo looked at the man who, like him, wore a mask but lay prone on the ground, appearing rather wolfish.

Her figure awaited her next move. "Is this the power of Lady Shigemura? It's truly laughable."

Mo Mo, hoping to get Chong Ying to speak this way, was somewhat disappointed. She simply got up silently, without uttering a word, her expression completely hidden behind a mask. "Today I'll see if you really have the ability to take our lives!" Mo Mo declared definitively. "Or you could go and ask that..." The system urged, "[Don't say so much, deal with her now!]" Mo Mo frowned slightly.

Why is the system so irritable today, always trying to take people's lives?

But the system's words still drew Mo Mo's gaze to Sakura Fubuki, who lay alone on the execution platform. Even if he didn't "deal with" her, without a suitable weapon, Sakura Fubuki would be even less of a threat. So, Mo Mo, who had the upper hand, walked straight to Sakura Fubuki's side, completely extinguishing her thoughts of taking back the sword. "However, as the victor, I'll keep this sword as a trophy~" Mo Mo grasped the hilt of Sakura Fubuki's sword, pulled it from the execution platform, and gently stroked the blade with his palm. "Hmm, looks like a pretty good sword."

The blade, which should have felt strangely familiar to him, instead gave off a strong sense of unease, and then began to swell even more.

By the time Mo Mo realized what was happening, the Cherry Blossom Blizzard in his hand began to creak and start shaking inexplicably.

The Cherry Blossom Blizzard grew increasingly larger, almost as if it possessed its own soul and consciousness, nearly detaching itself from Mo Mo's grasp. Finally, it moved. Mo Mo, who was holding the hilt, moved along with it. "Wait!" It wasn't Mo Mo gripping the sword; rather, the sword was pulling Mo Mo, charging straight towards Yaezakura. *Swoosh*

In an instant, the world fell silent.

All whispers vanished instantly. Himeko, Momo, Yae Sakura—everyone was silent, frozen in place. Momo's hand remained gripping the cherry blossom snow, while the cherry-colored blade pierced Yae Sakura's body. The protruding blade from her back was stained with warm, scarlet blood, and the blood gushing from the wound also stained her shrine maiden robes crimson.

Sakura coughed weakly, spitting out 0 units of blood. The strong smell of blood splattered on her body made the bewildered Mo Mo temporarily stop thinking about the suddenness of everything and instead notice the abnormality in Yae's waist.

The mask that had been on Chongying's face the entire time gradually slipped off, falling to the ground with a crisp sound, revealing her face that had been hidden in the shadows. It was indeed Chongying, but the expression on her familiar face left Mo Mo deeply puzzled.

There was no coldness, only a profound disbelief and grief, and a deep despair. Yae Sakura trembled as she raised her hand and placed it on Mo Mo's hand holding the knife. It was delicate, but she could feel no warmth in it. "Why is blood flowing from the corner of your mouth?" Yae Sakura slightly parted her lips, which were gradually losing their color, and her voice was weak, uttering a few thin words intermittently.

Yae Sakura's mouth was still slightly opening and closing, but she could no longer make a sound.

Mo Mo was about to say something when a drastic change occurred. The warmth of life gradually drained from Chong Ying in front of him, and everything around them, the houses...

The distant trees, the clouds in the sky, even the sky and the earth seemed to be gradually melting away. What was this?! The unprecedented and terrifying sight left Mo Mo wide-eyed, completely unable to comprehend what was happening. Soon, everything in this world vanished, leaving only Mo Mo in the void. Finally, all light disappeared from Mo Mo's vision, and he lost consciousness.

Mo Mo suddenly opened his eyes and sat up abruptly.

"Ouch!" A red, unidentified object was also pushed out of his stomach, falling to the ground and getting a mouthful of mud. Mo Mo, clutching his still slightly throbbing head, finally saw what was happening. "Isn't this...?" The extinguished yellow flames in front of him seemed to be telling Mo Mo what had happened. "Was this the place we left this morning?" A familiar chill seeped into his exposed skin, reaching his brain. The familiar sensations combined with the familiar surroundings plunged Mo Mo into utter confusion.

"Back?" Mo Mo muttered to himself, rubbing his head. Or... was everything that just happened just a dream? But if it was a dream, it felt far too real. Mo Mo pinched his cheek. Impossible! Every scene of his fight with Yae Sakura was crystal clear, including the feeling of piercing Yae Sakura's body with Sakura Blizzard at the end—it all felt incredibly real.

This didn't feel like a dream at all; it felt like it was really happening. "Wait a minute?!" Himeko, who had crawled out of the ground, also looked around in shock. 'Boss, why are we back again?'

These words immediately crushed Mo Mo's conjecture about his dream. "Dreaming? Could Mo Mo really be having the same dream as Himeko? 'You're so naive!' Himeko exclaimed in surprise. 'Isn't this the place where we spent the night last night and set off this morning?'" Mo Mo looked up at the sun high in the sky and muttered to himself, "Even time seems to have changed. If we exclude the possibility of a dream, it seems there's only one possibility left, although it doesn't sound entirely unrealistic. This world, after I ended Sakura Empire's life with Sakura Blizzard, was reset!" A chill suddenly rose from Mo Mo's tailbone, reaching the top of his head.

Although there was no clear evidence, Mo Mo still considered it the most convincing possibility.

"It's unbelievable! Was it because I accidentally killed Yae Sakura? No, Yae Sakura didn't kill it by accident; it was the Sakura Blizzard that killed her. It was its own will that ended its master's life. And the face and expression under Yae Sakura's mask just now are still vivid in my mind. That heartfelt despair and grief is completely beyond Mo Mo's expectations. It's completely different from the cold and inhuman Yae Sakura before. She doesn't seem like a..."

And those last things she said to herself.

She seemed completely bewildered, as if waking from a deep dream, the first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was a familiar figure holding a sharp blade, piercing her own body. Everything that followed was utterly incomprehensible, so incomprehensible that Mo Mo's first thought was that it was a nightmare she had experienced in her sleep.

"What exactly is going on in this world?" Yae Sakura, Kallen, and Himeko—these three seemingly independent individuals are all subtly connected, leading me step by step to deduce the truth, yet also...

2- Repeatedly overturning her own deductions. "Boss, what exactly happened?" Himeko climbed back onto Mo Mo's lap, blinking timidly, "I'm a little scared,"

It seemed that Fei Zhi was quite frightened. Indeed, the scene that felt like the world was collapsing was enough to easily break anyone's spirit. It was only thanks to Mo Mo's experience of countless storms that he didn't completely lose his composure, but even so, it deeply shocked him, leaving him unable to calm down. "It's alright," Mo Mo replied, "I'm here. Right now, I can only appear confident so that Fei Yu Wan continues to be completely disoriented." "Although I don't know exactly what happened, I have a feeling..." Mo Mo continued, "This is just the beginning. The true nature of this world is only now beginning to unfold before us."

Suddenly, Mo Mo realized something was amiss. A trace of doubt took root in his heart and gradually took over a corner of it.

A multitude of perplexing questions coalesced into a new problem, prompting Mo Mo to ask himself: Is this "world" truly a world?

7. Reincarnation

He grabbed a handful of soil from the ground; it was dry and slightly cool, then let it slip through his fingers. Everything seemed so real, without a trace of falsehood. But after experiencing what had just happened, Mo Mo had a feeling that it would all vanish in an instant. Even the solid ground beneath his feet gave him a sense of instability and unease. It shouldn't be like this. Wiping the remaining dirt from his hands, Mo Mo thought to himself, for the earth-shattering spectacle to happen again, certain conditions must be met.

That's right. It's about the death of Shigeaki in *The Shrine Maiden 1*... right?

"[System, such a terrible thing has happened, aren't you going to come out and make a fuss?]" Mo Mo asked inwardly. "[Don't you even have the slightest idea?]"

[What thoughts can one have when the sky has fallen?] The system only responds after Mo Mo speaks. [However, I think the key to the problem lies in...]

This is utter nonsense.

Even Himeko could see that the collapse of the world occurred after the end of the Sakura Empire's life.

That final exchange clearly shows that she knew, or rather, did have special feelings for "Karen," but there was clearly a Karen on the execution platform, yet she ignored her and even insisted on offering her as a sacrifice to appease the gods' anger.

On the contrary, upon his own arrival, he not only showed no doubt, but also intended to take his life as well.

The contradiction and incongruity in this situation caused Mo Mo's head to throb with pain whenever she thought about it even slightly. [Ugh, so annoying.]

Even though he felt he had grasped some important clue, Mo Mo failed to seize it in time, letting it slip by regrettably. "Boss, boss, what should we do now?" Himeko asked, leaving all the action plans to Mo Mo. After a moment of silence, Mo Mo turned to Shigemura and replied, "Let's go back one more time. I want to see if it's really as I think—that after the world collapsed, time rewound, resetting everything to the day I awoke." "Ah? Go back again?" Himeko seemed hesitant. Clearly, the scene of the world splitting apart had left a deep psychological scar on her. "I..."

"Don't be afraid." Mo Mo said decisively, patting Himeko. "I'm here. I'll protect you." After hovering hesitantly in mid-air for a while, Himeko finally made her decision, intending to go to Chongcun again with Mo Mo. "I believe in Boss!" Himeko said confidently, clenching her two small fists. "Boss can easily defeat even that priestess, there won't be any problem!" "Hmph, that kind of small matter is nothing to mention." "But..." Himeko changed the subject, awkwardly scratching her head, and said, "Can we try a different way to get in this time?" "Of course... no!" "Why not!"

Once again, Mo Mo easily infiltrated Yae Village with Himeko. Instead of rushing to the execution platform, he cautiously moved forward in the same direction he had taken before, constantly looking around. [It's exactly the same...] Comparing everything before him with the scene in his memory, Mo Mo discovered an obvious fact. The sparse villagers around him were exactly the same, even their walking patterns, their conversations... everything was identical to his previous experience.

But they seemed to have no recollection of what had just happened, how terrible it was, and continued to spend their time in the village.

It seemed that only he, the system, and... Himeko-maru remained who remembered all of this. He and the system both came from another world, true outsiders. So why was Himeko-maru, who should have been a "native," also able to retain two memories from before the time travel? Mo Mo couldn't help but look down at his chest. He didn't doubt Himeko-maru; this harmless little guy had easily entrusted his complete trust to Mo Mo, a complete stranger, without any suspicion whatsoever.

He just felt that all of this must be inextricably linked to her. Continuing forward in the direction of 21i's memory, Mo Mo soon saw the old man who had given him important clues twice before, as well as the young man whispering to him in front of him.

This time, however, Mo Mo didn't approach the old man. Knowing what was going on, he walked straight past him and strode towards the execution platform. Before long, Mo Mo arrived at his destination, neither too early nor too late. The crowd below the execution platform was the same.

Yae Sakura on the execution platform was the same. The shrine maiden Mo Mo was most concerned about, Yae Sakura, seemed to have completely lost her composure. Her figure, standing straight on the high platform, remained expressionless, coldly looking down at the noisy crowd below, motionless. "Hoo." Hearing the surrounding commotion, Himeko's little head peeked out from Mo Mo's collar, curiously looking around, and exclaimed in horror, "G- ...

[If it's the same as before, then the Sakura Empire will probably start the executions next.] Mo Mo looked up at the sun; it seemed the time was almost up. "Hiyomaru, I'm going." Mo Mo turned and walked to a corner where no one was watching, grabbed Hiyomaru, and said, "You don't need to come with me this time."

Because you weren't useful at all. Of course, Mo Mo didn't say such hurtful things out loud. "Remember to observe the reactions of the surrounding villagers for me. Be very careful and don't get distracted!" Mo Mo planned to try again. "Kamen Ride" "Kallen" "Then boss, you must be careful." "Hiyomaru called out anxiously to Mo Mo's receding figure. Mo Mo simply waved back to Hiyomaru without a care, his steps not faltering at all. (Thousands of words omitted below) - Everything was unfolding as if according to the script, without the slightest deviation. Mo Mo also dutifully recited the same lines as before, using the same unchanging methods to clash with Sakura, and then knocking her to the ground again. Looking at the fallen Sakura, Mo Mo realized that he had reached the final moment. Mo Mo cautiously surveyed his surroundings, trying to find the slightest clue, but at this moment, the world showed no signs of collapse. In other words, merely doing this much was far from enough. So, there was only one thing he had to do. [Good opportunity, finish her off now!] The system spoke again at this moment. This time, Mo Mo did not pick up 1 Instead of slipping away from the execution platform and disappearing into the blizzard, Cherry Blossom raised one of her dark-colored arias, aiming its black muzzle at the swaying Cherry Blossom. [Sorry, Yae Sakura.] Mo Mo took a deep breath and aimed. Caught off guard, Cherry Blossom pulled the trigger. "Bang—" The bullet struck Yae Sakura as expected, instantly blooming into a huge flower of blood before her. Warm, scarlet liquid gushed from the wound, and Yae Sakura collapsed. With a "thud," her mask fell to the ground. Her fallen cherry-colored figure left a widening, horrifying mark on the ground. Slowly raising her head, Yae Sakura looked at Mo Mo, who hadn't yet lowered the "murder weapon." The profound incomprehension, grief, and despair in her eyes were exactly the same as when they had faced each other before. She slightly opened her mouth, but didn't utter a single word. Mo Mo knew, however, that she was questioning herself. Just then, the unexpected happened. A strong pang of fear made Mo Mo clutch her chest, and she quickly looked around. The terrifying spectacle of the sky and earth splitting apart occurred once more. Having prepared herself mentally, Mo Mo wasn't shocked again, but instead carefully observed her surroundings.

The collapse of the "world" came from afar, and before Mo Mo could even make out much, everything before his eyes vanished into nothingness once more, even the light was swallowed up. For the second time, he was plunged into this inescapable darkness.

Mo Mo lay on the familiar haystack, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the familiar Ah Meng. She was back after all.

Time returned to the early morning when she had just woken up, before anything had happened. "Mmm...mmm...mmm..." She smacked her lips a few times, and Himeko also woke up leisurely from her dream. She opened her eyes, met Mo Mo's gaze, and exclaimed, "Stop chattering!" Mo Mo lifted her off his stomach. "We're back again." "This world is like a joke played on me, like a puzzle game with no end. Making a mistake on a crucial choice led to a bad ending, forcing Mo Mo to start over. So, as soon as Yae Sakura dies, this world resets, right?" Mo Mo pondered, rubbing his chin and frowning. No matter how unbelievable it seemed, he had to admit this "world" was truly extraordinary. So, what caused all this? Was it the peculiarity of this world itself? Or was it the work of that so-called "god"? "Hiyomaru, didn't I tell you to observe the villagers' reactions carefully?" Mo Mo turned to Hiyomaru and asked, "Any discoveries?" "Let me think..." Hiyomaru sat cross-legged, then looked up at Mo Mo and replied, "I realized they didn't seem to notice what happened at all. They all vanished completely in an instant, and then I passed out and didn't know anything. I didn't even notice the collapse of the world. Doesn't that prove something?"

Those villagers, seemingly following a pre-written path, appeared more like insignificant INPCs, deliberately arranged to fill the void, than living, breathing human beings. Mo Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

The line between truth and falsehood is beginning to blur.

No, this isn't enough! "Ah, boss, where are you going again?" Himeko asked, looking at Mo Mo who had suddenly stood up. "Do you even need to ask?" Mo Mo bent down, grabbed Himeko, and strode away without hesitation, answering confidently, "Yae Village!"

The same experience is no longer worth recounting, but after learning part of the truth from Himeko, the villagers in Mo Mo's eyes seemed to have undergone a change.

Whether it was psychological or a problem with their behavior, Mo Mo increasingly felt that they were more like a string of cold code than humans. Ignoring everyone around them, Mo Mo didn't hesitate any longer and went straight to the execution platform. There wasn't even the slightest change compared to the previous two times. "Boss, boss," Hishimaru whispered, "Are you going to go up again this time?"... Mo Mo stood motionless, silently watching, finally gritting her teeth and squeezing into the crowded throng, ruthlessly pushing herself to the very front row, getting a clearer view of everything on the platform. Although Hishimaru wanted to continue asking questions, the dense crowd around her forced her to shut her mouth, shrinking back and not daring to move. Standing at the very front, watching the execution platform continue, the process continued until the sun reached its proper position. Then, Yae Sakura drew Sakura Blizzard and walked towards the kneeling figure in the center of the execution platform—the motionless card...

Mo Mo clenched his fists, desperately suppressing the urge to rush forward. The surrounding commotion did nothing to distract him; his world consisted only of that small execution platform. Yae Sakura walked straight to Kallen and then raised the sharp blade in her hand.

9.Shrine

Mo Mo casually sat cross-legged on the ground. Undoubtedly, he and Wei Yuwan had returned to the morning they awoke that day. Last time, the yellow egg hadn't performed any of the required tasks. To verify the test in his heart, Mo Mo gritted his teeth, pointed at the head, and stood there, seemingly ready for execution.

Under his influence, he watched the entire execution without flinching. However, Mo Zhi wasn't entirely unprepared. His plan was that if his guess was wrong, and the world didn't repeat the events of the previous two times after executing Karen, he would simply go back to the ancient world and start the cycle anew.

Mo Mo has now begun to use these two words to describe everything she is currently experiencing. Although it may be somewhat strangely different from its original meaning, it's best not to worry too much about the details. However, Mo Mo's assessment was not wrong, and there was no need to end the life of the heavy waist again, because this ritual was not yet fully completed. After Yae firmly held the slow blizzard in her hand and easily took away the incapable card camp's master, she herself had once again experienced something different.

After Nan transformed into Karen twice to stop and kill her, the emotions she revealed at the last moment were clear to Mo Mo. Mo Mo distinctly remembered her reaction: confusion, grief, and despair. Ming Peng remained as cold as ice before unleashing his lightning strike, but afterwards he was so distraught. The hidden meaning behind this might have already been revealed.

After some initial signs appeared, the world, with the passing of Karen's life, once again came together.

Mo Mo and Fei Yu Wan naturally faced their fourth identical morning. This time, Morey didn't invite Xu Jiao to Yae Village again, but stayed put, choosing to first try to piece together a complete story based on the clues they had gathered.
