I, enter the zero world, change the ending

"When did you see the body?"

"I can't remember the exact time last night." Zhiyao said, glancing at the clock.

"You're sure it's a corpse. You're not mistaken, right?"

"Please, how could I be wrong? I was almost scared to death."

Just recalling the thrilling scene at that time, Zhiyao couldn't help but tremble. Noticing this detail, the female police officer handed her a cup of steaming hot coffee.

As the coffee in the cup finished, Zhiyao gradually calmed down. "If you insist on asking, I can't tell you the exact location. After all, it's in the wilderness. The only thing I can guarantee is that I really saw it. I can guarantee this with my life." After thinking for a while, Zhiyao continued, "I also saw a gloomy old house in that forest."

As soon as she finished speaking, a strange color flashed in the policewoman's eyes, and then returned to normal.

"Have you ever been inside that old house?"

"Of course not. It was such a gloomy place. I was so scared that I built a bonfire at the door and stayed there until dawn before leaving." Zhiyao said with lingering fear.

"That's good." The policewoman breathed a sigh of relief and gently placed her hand on Zhiyao's shoulder. "It's very dangerous out there. Anyway, it's better for people to come back safely."

Zhiyao didn’t know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely felt that the policewoman seemed to know that place.

"Officer Fujisaki, what place is that?" he asked curiously.

"Don't ask too many questions. Just remember, no matter what, don't get close. I've already filed a report on the body. I'll request police reinforcements from my superiors this afternoon. Once they arrive, we'll organize a search in the forest."

After the policewoman finished speaking, she sorted out the completed report, stood up and was about to leave.

However, facing her warning, Zhiyao's curiosity also became vigorous and flourishing, "Wait a minute, at least tell me a little more information, I can't just leave like this without knowing anything."

"Knowing too much won't do you any good." The policewoman raised her lips slightly and soothed him, "Well, you should go home and rest quickly. You must be very tired after staying up all night."

She left without looking back. Seeing her firm attitude, Zhiyao had to silently give up the idea of ​​asking her further.

The second thing to do next is to call the embassy and ask them to help me get home.

Being at the police station, this time things went much more smoothly. The officer in the communications room helped to dial the number directly, and Zhiyao successfully got through to the other end. Then, after a series of questioning and identity information registration, the other end told her the address and asked someone to bring their passport over. When Zhiyao heard this, she became very anxious.

How could he, a TC guy who inexplicably appeared in the wild mountains and hills of Japan, have a passport?

The subsequent communication was not smooth. After a conversation, the other party said that it would take ten to fifteen working days to verify his identity and asked him to go to the police station he called on the fifteenth day to get a receipt. When the other party hung up the phone, Zhiyao was completely dumbfounded.

It's easy to say that he has to wait so long, it's not like he's traveling.

He told the truth, saying that he appeared suddenly like teleporting, but the other party thought he was joking and almost ended the conversation early.

When leaving the police station, Zhiyao had a sad face. Although the sky outside was clear, there was only endless gloom in his heart.

He brought nothing but his clothes, not his smartphone, wallet, or ID card. His only consolation was the lack of a language barrier. He wondered if he hadn't majored in Japanese, if he hadn't started studying it in his freshman year of high school, if he hadn't taken it seriously, he wouldn't even be able to communicate now.

It seems that we haven't reached the end of our rope yet...

Let's wait for fifteen days. Anyway, it's not time to despair completely.

On the first day, he wandered aimlessly on the streets, experiencing the customs and culture of the foreign country.

The next day, he tried to find a part-time job. If he didn't earn some money to eat and drink, he might not even get a receipt. Unfortunately, the labor requirements here were unusually strict. He could not provide either his student ID or his ID card, so no one was willing to hire him.

On the third day, he was so hungry that he felt dizzy and had only tap water to satisfy his hunger.

He felt that he was about to become the Sanhe God, and even had the urge to swallow his pride and open the treasure chest.

Standing on the forest path in the park, enduring hunger, Zhiyao hung his head and inexplicably felt like crying. Suddenly, a woman came towards him. He looked closely and sighed weakly.

That outfit should be the uniform of a certain high school. The girl's hairstyle, figure, and facial features...

You know what, she has a bit of Hinasaki Shinku's vibe.

In Zhiyao's mind, Shenhong has the appearance of an ordinary girl who can easily be lost in the crowd. If 80 points is considered a beauty, then she is just in her early 80s.

Of course, he still had the same idea as before, that Zero was a fictional character in the game, and the girl was at most very similar in appearance to Hinasaki Shinku, so she was definitely suitable for COSPLAY.

Zhiyao chuckled and the two passed each other. When Zhiyao glanced back, something fell from the girl's body to the ground, and the girl was unconscious.

That's a wallet.

Seeing that the girl was still walking forward on her own, Zhiyao tiptoed over and kicked the wallet into the grass beside him. After the girl's figure disappeared around the corner in front, he looked around carefully. After making sure that no one saw him, he picked up the wallet and slipped away.

Only when you have enough food and clothing can you know what honor and disgrace are. He was almost fainting from hunger, so how could he care about this?

I just feel a little sorry for that girl.

On second thought, since this was neither stealing nor robbery, there seemed no need to blame myself too much, so I felt at ease again.

Never mind. At worst, they can just take the money. If there are ID documents in the wallet, I can hand it over to the police in a couple of days.

Thinking of this, Zhiyao silently convinced herself and opened her wallet.

"Wow, that's a lot of money." He was dazzled by the money. He counted it and found that after removing the coins and notes with a denomination of less than 1000 yen, there was still a full 30000 yen in it.

What a rich little woman! He secretly sighed and transferred all the money into his own pocket.

He took out the ID and took a look at it. The next second, there was a loud noise in his head, like lightning suddenly falling at his feet.

It was a student ID card with four words printed on the name line.

Hinasaki Crimson

Chapter 4: [Hinasaki Shinku was bullied]

Hinasaki Shinku is a person with a miserable life. To be more precise, her ancestors have had miserable lives for several generations.

Her great-grandmother Kurosawa Yae hanged herself, her great-grandfather Sokata Ryozo disappeared, her grandmother Sokata Mikoto died young due to illness, her father Hinasaki Masato met with an accident at work, her mother Hinasaki Miyuki hanged herself from a tree like her great-grandmother, her brother Hinasaki Mafuyu died at the gate of the underworld in the Himuro residence at the age of 21, and she herself exhausted her vitality prematurely after giving birth to Yozumiko due to a taboo she committed with the dead, and finally disappeared at the age of 23.

The above is the information Zhiyao obtained from relevant forums and the game Ruya.

He himself also has a subtle attitude towards Hinasaki Shinku.

When I first met Zero, I had a very favorable impression of her and even shamelessly called her my wife, just like the stupid netizens.

When I came into contact with Tattoo Voice, not only did my favorability towards it remain unchanged, but I also felt a sense of nostalgia, and even liked it more than before.

Then, a few years later, after he met the Crow Priestess and defeated her, his favorability towards her began to plummet, and in the end, he even developed a slight aversion.

The reason was her daughter, Hinasaki Fukaba.

He hated her for giving birth to Shen Yu but not raising her. He believed that the reason why Shen Yu was so lonely and self-destructive to the point of not caring about unspoken rules was because she had an irresponsible mother, even though he believed that the pregnancy was an accident and even though he felt that Shen Hong probably didn't know that giving birth to Shen Yu would almost exhaust her entire lifespan.

Of course, he didn't hate Fukaba's father that much, because Manfuyu had long been dead by then, only in ghost form. It just so happened that Fukaba possessed powerful spiritual power, so Manfuyu was most likely forced. He also admired him, admiring his courage in sacrificing himself for Himuro Kirie, a woman he had only met by chance but whose fate was tragic, and staying at the Gate of the Underworld to endure her suffering.

As for Shenhong losing his loved ones because of this, it can only be attributed to the tram choice problem. One side has to pay the price.

Besides, compared to Wuhui who cannot escape her fate, the living Shenhong clearly has more choices.

Shocked, Zhiyao gently rubbed the four words with her fingertips. After a moment, she felt calm again.

He didn't want to think about whether the girl was Crimson herself in the game or whether even the name was a coincidence. He also had no plans to return the money and wallet immediately because he was too hungry and needed to eat immediately. Also, the girl had disappeared long ago.

After leaving the park, Zhiyao walked on the street and followed her memory to a ramen restaurant she had been craving for for a long time.

"A bowl of vegetarian ramen, with extra noodles."

Finally I have the confidence to place an order.

Seeing the large piece of barbecued pork in the bowl of the next table, he swallowed his saliva and added one for himself, spending a total of 500 yen.

Soon, steaming hot ramen was served on the table.

Zhiyao slurped the noodles mouthful after mouthful, and finally, she felt like she was alive again.

After having a good meal and a drink, Zhiyao took out the student ID and looked at it carefully. The girl in the photo still had a childish face, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised as if she was laughing.

At the same time, the voice, appearance and smile of the man in white that he saw that night began to emerge in his mind. As the man in white was combined with the girl in the photo, and then coupled with the old house, the balance in Zhiyao's heart began to tilt quietly. In the end, he decided to compromise and accept it all calmly.

He admitted that the two were Hinasaki siblings, that the old house was the Himuro residence, and that he had indeed traveled to Zero's world.

So what should we do next?

There is no way to go back in time, and then we have to face the problem of how to survive.

Never mind, I'll go for a walk on the street and see if I can find any inspiration.

Not knowing where to go, Zhiyao wandered aimlessly on the street. After a while, he unknowingly returned to the place where he had slept the past few nights, a lounge chair in the park. Driven by sleepiness, he lay down on the chair and closed his eyes to rest, but he never expected that he fell asleep directly. When he woke up, he was sweating all over. He touched his pocket and found that the money was still there, and he felt relieved.

He really has become a Sanhe God, hanging on the wall in the park every day.

Zhiyao couldn't help but complain to herself and laughed in her heart.

After asking someone about the time, she found out that she had slept from 1:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thinking of going for a walk somewhere farther, Zhiyao tidied her clothes and walked along the road.

As luck would have it, there was one thing he didn't know: he was heading towards the school listed on his student ID.

Faintly, her stomach was protesting again. Zhiyao spent 200 yen to buy some bread from the convenience store. She noticed an alley on the left and walked into it for some unknown reason.

When I reached a corner, I heard a sound not far away.

"Where's your wallet?"

"What, lost? You think we're three-year-olds, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense and hand it over quickly. This month's protection fee hasn't been paid yet."

This kind of conversation...

The more he listened, the more unbelievable it became. Zhiyao carefully stuck his head out from the wall and saw six people in total, three men and three women, who were probably wearing high school uniforms. As for the one who was stuck in the corner, Zhiyao couldn't see the face of the one who was stuck in the corner because of the perspective and height.

School bullying exists in every country and at every era.

Zhiyao couldn't help but sigh when she encountered such a thing, and she felt that it was hard to describe in words.

Hey, but what does it have to do with me? Seeking benefits and avoiding harm is the instinct of all living things, and no one wants to get hurt for no reason.

At this time, the voices of several people were heard again in the front.

"I'm talking to you, are you deaf?"

Perhaps because there was no movement from the other side for a long time, one of the girls grabbed the hair of the person in the corner. Even so, the person still kept his head down and said nothing.

After a long moment, he replied in a whisper, "It's definitely lost. I didn't lie to you."

"If you lose it, go ask your brother for it. Doesn't your brother work in a publishing house?" Another girl lifted her hair covering her ears and pressed the golden earrings.

"Brother, you haven't been home these days..."

"Huh? You're not home?" The girl with the earrings took out a cigarette case, lit it, took a puff, and blew it into the face of the person in the corner. "You're not home, that's perfect. Take us to your place, Hinasaki-san?"

Not far away, Zhiyao, who had already turned around and was about to leave, turned back immediately after hearing the name Hinasaki, and inexplicably had a bad premonition.

He quietly moved forward a distance, changed the angle, and finally saw it clearly.

The one who was being pulled by the hair and cornered was Hinasaki Shinku.

Born with extremely strong spiritual powers, she is afraid to open up to others because she can see things in the spiritual world. She is isolated because she is not understood by others. From childhood to adulthood, only her brother who has the same ability as her understands her - this is the description of Crimson in the game setting.

Zhiyao had never expected that Shenhong would face not only isolation but also school bullying. For a moment, her mind was a little confused, but then she thought again, it was actually normal. Individuals who don't fit in are obviously prone to being ostracized and bullied by the group. This kind of thing is common everywhere.

Even if it's not specifically written in the setting description, you should be able to figure it out with a little thought.

He also understood another thing, why after the Himuro residence incident, the 17-year-old Shenhong chose to go to Aso Yu's house to help instead of continuing to go back to school.

She was bullied at school and had Mando as her spiritual support when she returned home, but Mando was gone, so it would be strange if she could go back.

Gotta help her!

Zhiyao clenched his fists.

Who knew that just as he was about to take the first step, he retreated.

Ultimately, there is no certainty.

It is true that he is a time traveler, but he did not start out with the script of picking up a divine weapon. He is still an ordinary person. He does not take the three female bullies seriously, but he cannot ignore the men next to him, especially since they are not much shorter than him in height, and one of them looks ferocious.

He is not like the blond-haired and blue-eyed Yang who can suppress the Japanese race. At this moment, he misses his brothers from high school very much.

If one of them was by my side, I wouldn't have to be afraid of the three Japanese pirates in front of me.

Just as he was hesitating, a female bully in front of him raised her palm and slapped him in the face. At that moment, Zhiyao's mind went pale, and many fragments of memories that had been deposited deep in his mind gradually surfaced, like clear slides, appearing before his eyes.

"At that time, my brother stayed there, and I came back alone."

"I really want to see him again, even just for a moment."
