I have no regrets about my 2D world!

The kaishakunin still held the knife in his hand, blood kept flowing out, but there was a relieved smile on his face.

The singing master's daughter's legs began to tremble, but she still insisted on running to her family, pushing and shouting.

It seemed that an unknown spirit had appeared and her family members managed to wake up after shouting, but after observing the surrounding situation, they showed the same fear as her.

Later, the people around woke up one by one and looked at the corpse on the ground in silence.

After the servants cleaned up, everyone felt like they had just had a nightmare and quickly forgot about the incident, including the daughter of the singing master.

But it doesn't mean that the matter is over.

That day, the nightmarish scene in memory reappeared, and this huge family began to fall apart.

It was still the quiet of the morning, still the gathering under the cherry tree, still the dreamlike sleep, but this time the people lying on the ground were her family.

The Saigyouji family realized the seriousness of the matter and began to hire someone to solve the problem, but it seemed like they had touched some taboo.

Onmyojis, monks, shrine maidens, priests and other people with special abilities fell into a deep sleep under the cherry trees one by one.

When the people around heard the news, they kept their distance from the cherry tree and gave it the name "Westward Journey Monster".

The people of the Saigyouji family could no longer bear the feeling of having no control over their life and death, so they left one after another, leaving only one person behind, the daughter of the poet.

Strangely enough, ever since people from the Saigyouji family started falling under the cherry tree, the daughter of the poet has developed some special abilities. She can see white things floating out of those people's bodies after they fall.

At first she could only see, but the more people fell, the stronger her ability became, until one day, she accidentally made the fallen people move again.

She fell silent as she watched her 'body' dancing to her will.

She didn't tell anyone about this, and she never used her special abilities again.

The people from the Saigyouji family wanted to take her with them, but she was unwilling. Perhaps she was afraid, or perhaps she was reluctant to leave, but she stayed anyway.

Fortunately, those people left behind a lot of food when they left, and she could cook some simple meals, so she survived like this.

In my free time, I can read a book, appreciate the flowers, and stroll around the courtyard. When I’m busy...there is no busy time.

She just stayed here, flipping through classical books, hoping that one day she could find out what happened here.

If that were all, it wouldn't be a big deal for her, but things didn't go as she wished.

When she saw people around her starting to appear under the cherry trees, she felt that things were going to be bad.

As expected, the demon from the West gathered people again, and they died one by one, and there was an inexplicable aura on her body.

When a butterfly flew to her and died instantly, she suddenly realized that she had become the same as the Journey to the West monster.

She locked the gate of the courtyard from the inside, and even dozens of people could not push it open from the outside. The wall of the courtyard was also high enough that two or three people stacked together could not climb in.

From then on, she stayed alone in this courtyard, witnessing the petals of the Journey to the West flower become more and more colorful, the surrounding flowers and trees gradually withered, and finally only the Journey to the West flower was left.

And she could no longer get close to any living thing. If she touched a plant, it would wither. If she touched an animal, it would die. If she touched a human... She didn't try, but she already knew the result.

If nothing unexpected happened, she would soon die from lack of food or another accident with the Westward Journey Demon, but her planned trajectory was disrupted by a blond figure.

Chapter 95: Yakumo Yukari's Tragic Experience

That day, Yakumo Yukari was so high-spirited and confident. Having already become a great monster, she was sure that she could go anywhere in the world as she pleased. So, without any precautions, she broke into the Saigyouji family, which she thought was just a place where small monsters lived, and even came directly to the side of Youyuko and Saigyou.

And then... there was no more.

All the high spirits disappeared at that moment, past experiences began to emerge before my eyes, and then I was immersed in a beautiful dream.

If her body hadn't been constantly sending out warnings, even if she had put on a layer of protection, she would probably have been skinned alive if not dead.

She suspected that if she wasn't a great monster with a strong spirit, she might not have woken up.

After recovering, he instantly showed a look of vigilance when facing Youyouzi who was standing beside him with a worried look on her face.

Youyouko was very surprised when she found out that Yakumo Yukari did not fall into a deep sleep and die like the usual people, so she tentatively asked Yakumo Yukari for advice.

How can we get rid of the Journey to the West monster, and how can we control the death-tempting aura that she involuntarily emits.

After some testing, Yakumo Yukari finally confirmed that no one was trying to harm her, and Youyouko was just a human who could not control her abilities.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yakumo Yukari lied that she was actually an Onmyoji. She was curious about the existence of such a monster here and came to investigate.

Thanks to the Taoist robe that came from nowhere on Yakumo Yukari, Youyouzi easily believed what Yakumo Yukari said.

The two of them temporarily became 'friends' and worked together to find out about Yuyuko's affairs.

After several months of searching for information, Yakumo Yukari finally understood the origin of the Westward Journey Demon.

Since the poet of Saigyouji Temple was buried under this cherry tree after his death, a large number of people began to admire this place in a short period of time.

Part of the power of faith was absorbed by the corpse of the poet of Saigyouji, while the other part was absorbed by the cherry tree, giving birth to a part of its spirit and a faint consciousness.

Originally, the cherry blossom tree would not lure people to death, but when a person committed suicide while immersed in a beautiful dream, the faint consciousness tasted the taste of human blood and began to crave it.

So instinct makes other humans become like the first person to die, enter a beautiful dream, and then die willingly.

Later, more and more people died, and that weak consciousness was lost in the smell of blood, and it completely turned into a monster that only knew how to lure people to death.

Later, the Journey to the West monster was no longer satisfied with human blood, and the surrounding flowers, trees, and other creatures would die as a result.

But there is an exception, that is the daughter of the poet, Yuyuko Saigyouji.

The Singing Saint is not just an ordinary person. Before he was called the Singing Saint, he had another name, and was called the Master of Saigyouji.

As his daughter, Youyouzi, although she did not receive much education, she also has extraordinary talent.

In this place surrounded by the breath of death but filled with extremely strong power of faith, Youyouzi's body also underwent some changes.

The breath of death entered her body protected by the power of faith and did not cause any harm. Instead, it was integrated into the energy in her body, which gave Youyouzi special abilities.

From being able to see the ghosts of the dead at the beginning, to being able to control the bodies of the dead, to the current uncontrollable ability to induce death, all of this comes from the Journey to the West monster.

After finding out the truth of the matter, Yakumo Yukari began to try to get rid of the Journey to the West monster.

However, after such a long time, and having absorbed the blood of hundreds and thousands of humans, including some with extraordinary abilities, coupled with its special abilities, even if the Westward Journey Demon did not have much intelligence, it would not be easy to get rid of it.

At least...at the beginning, Yakumo Yukari still thought she could solve it herself.

But after taking great pains to erase the consciousness of the Journey to the West Demon and uproot it, they even started celebrating.

The next day, the Journey to the West demon was discovered there again.

They both fell silent at the same time.

Unwilling to give up, Yakumo Yukari wiped out the Journey to the West Demon once again, and then she saw with her own eyes that the Journey to the West Demon slowly emerged from the original place, but she had no idea why.

Not understanding the reason, Yakumo Yukari stopped trying to deal with the Saigyou monster and instead began to study Youyouko's abilities.

Although the ability to induce death was strange, she had seen other even stranger abilities before, so she easily sealed this ability away.

However, although Youyouzi's ability was sealed, the Westward Journey Demon still existed, and the ability to induce death in Youyouzi's body was constantly increasing.

Until one day, he broke through the seal set by Yakumo Yukari and even hit Yakumo Yukari in the face, allowing her to experience the impressive feeling again.

After this incident, Yakumo Yukari no longer tried to seal that ability, but instead tried to let Youyouko control it, and was willing to use herself as an experiment.

After spending a few months together, Yakumo Yukari felt ashamed of Youyouko's innocence and kindness, but also deeply loved her. Moreover, Youyouko treated her, a stranger who was willing to help, without reservation, so she also regarded Youyouko as a friend.

Although the idea is good, it ignores the fact that Youyouko is just a human being.

The idea failed as expected. All the captured monsters died, and Yakumo Yukari herself was eroded by the power of death, which forced them to stop the experiment.

After thinking hard for a long time, Yakumo Yukari could not find any other solution. In desperation, she could only run to ask for help from Luo Bai, whom she thought was very powerful, so what happened before happened.

After a quick look at what had happened here in the past, Luo Bai already understood the reason.

No wonder Yakumo Yukari couldn't solve it, it was indeed beyond her ability.

After so long of development, the power of death in the Westward Journey Demon's body has already had a special effect, and it is almost becoming a part of death itself.

And the place with the most death in this world is naturally hell.

There is an area in hell called the Underworld, which is the home of all the dead souls and the place where the power of death is the strongest.

The souls of the dead are taken to hell for trial. After the trial, the souls that have nowhere to go temporarily will be arranged to the underworld to wait for reincarnation.

Therefore, the Saigyou monsters with strong power of death have already appeared in the underworld, and most of their consciousness has also been transferred to the underworld. The cherry tree in the Saigyouji family now exists only like a projection.

Come to think of it, is there no one in hell to solve this problem?

Luo Bai was a little curious. This level of death power wouldn't be a good thing for the undead, right?

The body of the undead is already weak, and if it is hit by the breath of this Westward Journey Monster, it is likely that its soul will be shattered.

So, if he solves this problem, would it be considered as helping Hell? Would King Yama be willing to owe him a favor?

Luo Bai became interested.

Chapter 96 Problems and Solutions

"Zi, is he... really okay?" Youyouzi looked at Luo Bai, who was standing in a daze under the cherry tree, with some concern. Was he really in that state?

"This..." Yakumo Yukari suddenly hesitated.

Luo Bai had been standing there, not knowing what he was doing. She was indeed a little worried that the same situation would happen to her from time to time, but after noticing Luo Bai's smile, which did not seem like a dream, she became more determined.

"No problem. If he can't solve it, then there are few people in the world who can."

"Is that so? That's great."

Seeing Yakumo Yukari's confident attitude, Youyouko felt relieved, but still a little worried.

You should know that Yakumo Yukari was in this state at the beginning.

Putting aside the fantasies in his mind, Luo Bai, who had already found a solution, no longer stayed under the Westward Journey Monster and came in front of the two of them in the blink of an eye.

Greeted through the window.

"You are the Youyouzi that Xiao Zi mentioned, right? You are really beautiful, worthy of attracting Xiao Zi. I wonder..."

"Hey, wait, what do you mean by that? Speak to me nicely!"

Before Luo Bai could finish his praise, he was interrupted by Yakumo Yukari.

A folding fan appeared in her hand, and she poked it towards Luo Bai's mouth without hesitation. If Luo Bai continued talking, her innocence would be ruined.

"Don't do it, I didn't say anything wrong." He waved his hand to throw Yakumo Yukari's folding fan aside, then stretched out his hand towards Youyouko.

"Hello, Youyouzi, I'm Xiao Zi and her... um, friend. Just call me Bai."

"I would rather not have a treacherous friend like you." Yakumo Yukari put away her folding fan and looked at Luo Bai with resentment.

"Hello, I'm Saigyouji Youyouko, and this is..." Youyouko responded, looking at Luo Bai's outstretched hand in confusion.

"Oh, this is a kind of etiquette in my hometown. When making friends, we usually shake hands first." Luo Bai explained.

"I'm sorry, I'm ignorant." Youyouzi said apologetically, then put her soft little hand in Luo Bai's hand and held it gently.

However, just as she held it, she suddenly remembered her ability and looked at Luo Bai with a stiff expression.

Luo Bai smiled at her gently, Youyouzi breathed a sigh of relief, and felt more expectant in her heart.

I was actually able to interact with her without being affected. Perhaps there really is a way to solve her problem.

Thinking of this, Youyouzi couldn't help but smile.

"Um, Bai, do you need me to explain my situation again?"

Luo Bai shook his head slightly.

"There's no rush for this. I've already heard about it from Xiao Zi, and now I have some ideas.

But before we talk, could you please ask this irrelevant person to leave first? It would be bad if he overheard some top-secret events. "Luo Bai looked at Yakumo Yukari and said meaningfully.

"You actually want to drive us away?!" Yakumo Yukari opened her eyes wide and looked at Luo Bai in disbelief.

Please, this is her good friend, and she was the one who invited Luo Bai. Now she wants to drive away the most important person?

"Of course, what I'm going to talk about next is about hell. If you hear anything... be careful, the god of death will come to find you in the middle of the night." Luo Bai raised his eyebrows, looking like he was thinking about Yakumo Yukari.

Even Youyouzi looked at her worriedly.

"purple......"

Yakumo Yukari looked at the two of them and sighed helplessly.

"Alright then, we'll leave as you requested, but..." Yakumo Yukari suddenly looked at Youyouko seriously, "Youyouko, you have to think carefully and don't let him lead you astray. This guy really likes to play tricks on people."

"And you..." Yakumo Yukari turned to look at Luo Bai, "We asked you to come and help Youyouzi. Youyouzi is still young. If you have any problems, come to us. But don't let me know that you attacked Youyouzi, otherwise..."
