However, this is currently the only solution.
After sighing, Kagome's grandfather also looked at Manager Inoue and Yukino Yukinoshita, and whispered:
"I'm very sorry, I can't hold the ceremony for you. If you don't mind, you can do it yourselves."
Yukino Yukinoshita, of course, couldn't possibly force someone at this time, and quickly said:
"Of course, you have more important things to do, we can handle it ourselves."
The Higurashi family clearly wasn't in the mood for formalities. After pointing out the location of the tools needed for the girl's burial, they left the shrine one after another to search for clues in places where Kagome Higurashi might usually appear.
"What a kind family they are. After burying the sapphire, I will help them search for it."
Yukino Yukinoshita knew very well that even with her help, it would probably be of little use in such a strange situation.
But given her personality, she obviously wouldn't stand idly by.
If she were the one who went missing, would her family be just as anxious?
As Yukino Yukinoshita dug a hole for the poor "Sapphire" with a shovel, she couldn't help but start having such random thoughts in her mind.
Occasionally, she would look up and frown slightly at Yin Kong's back as he stood under the sacred tree, seemingly studying something.
Perhaps she was overthinking it, but the girl inexplicably felt that this unassuming detective must have discovered some clues that they were unaware of.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so calm at this moment.
However, this suspicion is clearly without any evidence.
However, her attention quickly returned to the poor [Sapphire].
After burying the cat, the girl silently gazed at the small mound, her mind inevitably filled with memories of the moments she had shared with it.
We have punished the bad guys who killed you, little one. I hope you will be happy in the next world.
She actually shed tears?
Upon discovering that Yukinoshita, who had initially been in silent mourning at the kitten's grave, had begun to quietly shed tears as if lost in thought, Yoon-kong was understandably quite surprised.
After all, the girl gave him the impression of being very aloof.
Although I love cats, the fact that I could shed tears for their passing shows that the depth of my feelings for them was beyond my expectations.
"It's now."
As Yin Kong was feeling sentimental, Zhong Li's reminder immediately rang in his ears.
Yukino Yukinoshita, completely immersed in her memories, suddenly felt a warm touch on her cheek.
Chapter 54 The Innately Evil Demon Child
"sapphire?"
Yukinoshita's eyes widened in shock, for she saw a translucent, white-glowing "sapphire" floating in front of her, gently patting her cheek with the pads of its paws.
It seemed as if he was gently comforting her.
However, after the girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief, the incredible magical sight had already disappeared.
But this illusion is a little too realistic.
The girl touched her cheek in disbelief, as if she could still feel the familiar touch of the fleshy pad.
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Manager Inoue with a puzzled expression and asked:
"Manager Inoue, did you see anything just now?"
"Just now?" Manager Inoue was also taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Did something just happen?"
Is it really an illusion?
Yukino Yukinoshita was taken aback. If that incredible scene had really happened, then it was impossible for Inoue, the shopkeeper, not far away, not to have missed it.
So, is it just because I'm too heartbroken?
Yukino Yukinoshita had mixed feelings, but when she recalled the scene of Sapphire gently comforting her, she found it incredible that her original sadness seemed to have been gently soothed by the other person.
Just as the girl was carefully savoring these strange and complex emotions, Yin Kong seemed to have finished observing the Sacred Tree and walked over, saying:
"This is my business card. If you two encounter any difficulties in the future, please feel free to contact me."
"Definitely, definitely." Manager Inoue carefully put away Yin Kong's business card and said warmly, "Mr. Yin Kong, you are welcome to visit our shop more often when you have time. I can certainly afford to treat you to a cup of coffee."
He had already witnessed Yin Kong's abilities firsthand.
Having more friends like that is definitely not a bad thing.
And for some reason, he suddenly felt an instant connection and affinity with Yin Kong.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Manager Inoue and nodding to the silent girl, Yin Kong quickly left the Higurashi Shrine.
【原石×20、摩拉×8550、好感度经验×70、精锻用良矿×7、精锻用魔矿×3】
"As expected, Ms. Yoko is a treasure."
Receiving double the daily mission rewards again was not unexpected for Yin Kong.
After all, this time, in addition to catching the criminal, he also did some extra minor work.
In comparison, I just casually made a "Fairy Jumps Over the Wall" dish this morning, and the process was so much easier.
Fortunately, he didn't come away empty-handed.
The world quests at Higurashi Shrine, the Spiral Abyss, and the Sacred Tree should bring you a considerable amount of Primogems in the near future.
Yin Kong opened his palm, and a semi-transparent, petite and adorable figure slowly emerged.
This figure was none other than the [Sapphire] that Yukino Yukinoshita had just seen.
"It actually purified."
Yin Kong stretched out his finger and gently scratched its chin, which immediately made the soft and cute little guy purr contentedly.
It's hard to imagine that just half an hour ago, it was completely black and looked hysterically insane.
"It seems that Miss Yukinoshita's tears truly contained incredibly sincere emotions."
“That’s true, otherwise it wouldn’t be enough to soothe the hatred in this little guy’s heart.” Zhongli first confirmed Yin Kong’s guess, but quickly added, “But I think the Traveler is the real reason why the purification was successful.”
Yin Kong was somewhat puzzled.
However, Zhongli did not explain immediately, but changed the subject:
“Traveler, through observing these times, I have confirmed one thing.”
Yin Kong pressed on, asking:
"I wonder what happened."
Zhongli explained:
"Nature refers to those creatures that only you can see; they are monsters born from shadows or extremely negative emotions."
This is precisely why they are inherently different from normal creatures; they are incapable of perceiving any positive emotions or feelings. In their hearts, besides the instinctive craving for human flesh and blood, only negative emotions such as killing, hatred, and madness exist.
Are we born unable to perceive positive emotions?
Yin Kong was stunned. Did this mean that in the future, when he fought against those demons, he could shout:
"You inherently evil demon brat, I will personally punish you—"
However, he immediately looked at the bewildered [sapphire] in his hand and asked in confusion:
"Then what is this—"
“That’s why I say this is all thanks to you, Traveler.” Zhongli’s tone was filled with undisguised amazement. “I once said that your recognition has an incredible effect. Now it seems that it not only brought these demons into the real world and gave them a basis for existence, but also made up for their original racial defects and gave them the right to have complete emotions.”
In other words, any demon that Yin Kong acknowledges can understand and feel what love is.
Otherwise, even if Yukinoshita cried down the sacred tree, there would be no way to purify the hatred in Sapphire's heart.
After hearing Zhongli's explanation, Yin Kong finally understood.
No wonder the Rock King suddenly spoke up when the police took Matsubara Takashi away, asking him to secretly control the [Sapphire's Vengeful Spirit] and specifically acknowledging its existence.
Although the purification process made the little guy's already low level even worse, leaving him only at level four.
However, if I could find the skills to raise this little guy or purify those powerful demons, wouldn't I have many more helpers?
Speaking of powerful demons, Yin Kong suddenly remembered something.
If he remembered correctly, the "Changing Witch" who escaped by self-destruction seemed to have received his own admission.
"Doesn't this mean that it already possesses complete emotions?"
Zhongli affirmed:
"I think that's true."
Unfortunately, since they escaped, they have been hiding on the other side of the earth.
Otherwise, using it for testing would obviously be the most suitable option.
"Traveler, you're back."
When Yin Kong returned to the Rabbit House, he saw Hisaki Shinobu, Aoyama Nanami, and Ms. Yoko chatting happily.
"Well, I'm back."
After nodding slightly to Hisaki Shinobu, he finally looked at Aoyama Nanami with excitement.
Noticing Yin Kong's undisguised, burning gaze, Aoyama Nanami stood frozen in place for several seconds.
It wasn't until Hisagi Shinobu coughed lightly and pointed to her clothes that the girl realized what was happening. She quickly ran back behind the counter, cleared her throat, and said:
"Toward the stars and the abyss, welcome to the Adventurers Association."
Yin Kong said excitedly:
"Catherine, I've completed all my requests for today."
"Thank you for completing today's task. This is your reward."
Looking at the daily task reward that he had finally received, Yin Kong was moved to tears.
Chapter 55 The seal is lifted
"Thank u--"
[Solid Topaz Fragment x1, Raw Stone x20, Mora x18175, Affection Experience x100]
Upon seeing the [Solid Topaz Fragment], Yin Kong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Character breakthroughs require not only regional specialties like [Stone Amber] and [Singing Grass], but also elemental crystals of various levels depending on the elemental attributes of one's Eye of God.
However, while Zhongli could find substitutes for regional specialties, pure elemental crystals—
In Teyvat, in addition to daily quests, powerful elemental monsters and dungeons will also drop a certain number of elemental crystals.
But in this world where even elemental power doesn't exist, even if Yin Kong successfully eliminates those powerful demons, it would be difficult to obtain Teyvat's elemental crystals, right?
Even Zhongli, the Rock King Emperor, would find it difficult to conjure up these breakthrough materials out of thin air for Yin Kong under these circumstances.
"You did a good job, you did a good job! Ms. Aoyama, you can go home now."
Seeing the barely suppressed joy on Yin Kong's face, Aoyama Nanami couldn't help but feel surprised.
Can my three sentences really have such great magic?
Of course, among the people present, Ms. Yoko was probably the most surprised.
Because in this idol's memory, Yin Kong had never been so emotional since the last time she faced the "Ever-Changing Witch".
Everyone was taken aback and looked at Aoyama Nanami.
More accurately, it was the girl's belly.
Aoyama Nanami blushed slightly, but feeling the emptiness in her stomach, she suppressed her embarrassment and said:
"Boss, can I... get an advance on one day's salary?"
Based on my experience, I thought that even if I only drank water, I could at least last until tomorrow.
But cleaning the office in the afternoon had used up a lot of my energy, and if I didn't eat soon—
