"I've done what you asked of me."
"I will put an end to the responsibilities and hardships you bear."
Li Mo stood on a distant tree, watching as the wall of flesh-and-blood ghosts fell into the pit one by one. Countless aged and tattered arms reached out from the Mirror Lake, firmly grabbing the ankles of the flesh-and-blood ghosts and dragging them down at a fixed rate.
The flesh-and-blood ghosts didn't resist. They couldn't understand the current situation. In their eyes, there was only the Bizarre coin less than half a meter away.
Therefore, under the attraction of the Bizarre coin, the drowned ghosts effortlessly dragged them into the depths of the lake, burying them in the cold, dark, and bottomless abyss.
Row after row.
The boss who had planned the wedding feast for him, the guests who attended the feast, the old man who sold melons and vegetables, and the butcher who gave him high-quality lean meat.
And the seven Taixuan Swords whom Mo had watched grow up.
The familiar people in his memory were now dragged to the bottom of the lake by the drowned ghosts, leaving no trace.
This town, which had carried hundreds or thousands of years of history, would finally be completely shattered, reduced to a dead silent ruin, a fallen dead town.
The reason why everything was still intact now was simply because of the Bizarre power of the wedding ceremony, which maintained the normal operation of this town.
After Li Mo completed the wedding, the town would return to its original appearance, no matter what warm years it had recorded.
After a long time, the water surface returned to calm, just like his heart, as clear as a mirror, without waves or ripples.
All the flesh-and-blood ghosts were buried in the pit. Li Mo put down his phone, shaved off a negligible piece of the mountain, and slowly walked to the front of the pit, filling it with brute force.
He didn't rush back to Mount Taixuan to check the situation of the human skin forest, because there was still a Bizarre Hua in the Taoist temple who seemed to be able to leave the temple. Going up the mountain now was tantamount to suicide.
At least before the wedding ceremony ended, Li Mo could not deal with the ghost on the mountain anymore.
Forced eye contact, and eye contact means death.
If it weren't for the human skin ghost dying in his place, he might have really died on Mount Taixuan.
"The wedding can only be held at dusk. It's not time yet."
Li Mo looked towards the Mirror Lake, his murky eyes turning, thinking about every specific step to follow.
He had originally planned to open the Bizarre treasure chest and rescue Shigure Kira after the Ghost Festival, but now that he had resolved the flesh-and-blood ghosts ahead of schedule, the matter of rescuing Shigure Kira could be brought forward.
Li Mo retrieved the Bizarre coin and did not feel the coldness on it.
So he put it in his left hand and made a throwing motion. The Bizarre coin was like an ordinary coin, thrown out and falling.
The rule on it had been lost. For the current Li Mo, the Bizarre coin was just an ordinary coin.
However, he had promised Pardofelis before that unless he couldn't keep the coin under special circumstances, he would bring back the Bizarre coin that had lost its power.
This was understandable. For Pardofelis to pollute an ordinary coin into a Bizarre coin required a lot of mental energy, and her personality could easily be twisted into extreme sadism.
This was also why she had been sleeping in Elysia's bed, and even in the wardrobe. Because that was the safest place in the whole house, capable of suppressing all Bizarre power to a great extent.
Although the efficiency of making Bizarre coins would be greatly reduced, it was safe.
Li Mo didn't want to be killed another seven or eight times by a Pardofelis who ignored the rebooted space-time.
As long as the sadist judged him as weak, whether in the past or in the future, she could carry out indiscriminate slaughter in the present.
Thanks to Elysia for preserving the little bit of humanity he had left, slowly eliminating the accumulation of death...
In his thoughts, Li Mo had already returned to the shore of the Mirror Lake. The extremely long pipe seemed to have been interfered with by something and gradually turned into the appearance of a human intestine.
Li Mo was not sure if it was his own small intestine, but it didn't matter.
Li Mo bent down, pulled out all the small intestines from the Mirror Lake, and aimed the Bizarre pistol at them and fired.
Even if the pipe had not turned into an intestine, he would have done the same.
Things seized or created through Bizarre power would more or less be contaminated. As derivatives, they could be killed.
Li Mo didn't want to leave any trouble behind.
"The highest level of misfortune curse, without a doubt, the notebook's prediction of death is extremely accurate. If I do nothing after opening the Bizarre treasure chest, I will definitely die in three months."
"It predicted that I found a way to transfer it, but I don't have any relevant information right now, so the transfer method can only be obtained after I open the Bizarre treasure chest and see a specific thing."
Li Mo analyzed quickly, took a deep leap, and jumped into the Mirror Lake again.
This was his third time entering the Mirror Lake, and he was extremely familiar with the environment at the bottom of the lake.
Coupled with his murky eyes that were close to a corpse's, Li Mo could move freely in the dark like a fish in water.
The Bizarre treasure chest was placed motionlessly at the bottom of the Mirror Lake. The numerous flowers on it were like withered flowers, their leaves and petals yellowed and drooping, without a trace of luster, as if they could be broken with a light pinch.
Li Mo pushed aside the vines and withered flowers, placed his hands on the Bizarre treasure chest, and just as he lifted it with force, a confusing voice came from his mind.
"You're not dead? You're not dead! You're actually not dead!?"
In the water, Li Mo could not answer the Misfortune ghost.
It seemed very puzzled, full of confusion and bewilderment about the fact that he was still alive.
Perhaps in its view, when Li Mo's body was occupied by the human skin ghost and there was no self-soul in the container, the Misfortune ghost had already judged Li Mo as dead.
Having no time to deal with the Misfortune ghost, Li Mo focused all his attention on the Bizarre treasure chest. The treasure chest had been opened a crack, and inside was only a vast darkness, filled with nothingness.
Li Mo was very patient and slowly opened the treasure chest completely.
During this process, the Misfortune ghost's rampant curse once again lingered on the level of consciousness, like a chattering radio, tirelessly broadcasting Bizarre and creepy lines.
"Haha... I see your death date! You will be killed by her tomorrow! The ceremony fails, and all your companions will be buried with you hahaha—!!" the Misfortune ghost shrieked.
Li Mo was slightly stunned. This... in a sense, could this be considered predicting the future?
Logically speaking, as long as the wedding ceremony found the right bride, the risk was almost non-existent.
However, if one was burdened with the misfortune curse imposed by the Bizarre treasure chest, even the smallest risk could be infinitely magnified.
Just like the probability of a person being killed by an ant is infinitely small, but it is definitely not zero.
It seemed that he couldn't get married to Hua before the misfortune curse was lifted.
Just as Li Mo was thinking, the Bizarre treasure chest suddenly trembled, and a pair of pale hands quickly stretched out from the dark place in the crack.
They were as white as jade, without any flaws, like a beautiful work of art.
But strangely, not a single blood vessel could be seen on them.
Li Mo didn't react, and his neck was grabbed.
He was not panicked. Even if the ghost snapped his neck, he would not die. But what Li Mo had not expected was that the other party had no intention of breaking his neck at all, but wanted to pull him into the chest!
Li Mo wanted to resist, but in his state of being closest to Bizarre, he had no room for resistance at all. His struggle was like a sick man's groan.
"Urgh...!"
This was a completely unexpected ending, being dragged into the Bizarre treasure chest off guard.
Li Mo did not forget to think. He knew very well that he absolutely could not be dragged into the Bizarre treasure chest.
The Bizarre treasure chest could only be opened by an external force. With the existence of the Mirror Lake, there was no way anyone could come here to open the Bizarre treasure chest, unless they had been reversed once like him.
Otherwise, even if someone wanted to save him, they would be reversed into a ghost after falling into the Mirror Lake, losing their living consciousness.
He would be forever lost in the Bizarre treasure chest...
Bizarre Mei's left hand became even colder. At the critical moment, Li Mo "usurped" his own spatial position.
He instantly returned to the outside of the Bizarre treasure chest.
If he had been a second slower, when he completely entered the chest, the price to pay for leaving would probably be more than just paralysis of the whole body.
Exchanging such a short spatial position actually made his entire body's Bizarre silent?
In other words, Li Mo was now no different from a real corpse. Coupled with the small intestine paid for the exchange of the pipe, Li Mo's lower abdomen couldn't stop cramping.
"Ngh..."
Li Mo choked on a mouthful of lake water. The silence of most of his Bizarre power, coupled with the paralysis, meant that Li Mo could only lie prone at the bottom of the lake, occasionally choking on water to expand his lungs.
Oh no...
The chest...
Li Mo's gaze focused on the completely opened Bizarre treasure chest. The ghost inside was about to come out. In his current state, let alone fighting, he couldn't even escape.
No, it's useless to think about these things now. Even if the ghost doesn't kill me, I'll drown at the bottom of the lake soon...
In a state of four deaths, even having his head cut off was fine, but he would actually drown...
Li Mo's heart was still calm, but from an objective point of view, this way of death was quite cheap.
Did I do something wrong?
Shouldn't I have saved her...
Li Mo hesitated for a while, his expression as unchanging as a glacier.
I didn't do anything wrong, it's just that there are too many unknown things. I'm not omniscient, nor am I omnipotent.
The Bizarre treasure chest in his memory did not have this situation.
But if, I could have been more careful...
Li Mo did not close his eyes. Even though his head and throat were extremely uncomfortable, and a large amount of lake water poured into his mouth, he would drown here soon.
But he still held on and thought. He couldn't die, he had to go back alive...
He must go back alive...
No matter what the cost...
Observe, think, analyze, think about what else he can do...
Li Mo tried to move his body, but no limb was willing to respond to his expectations. His body seemed to have completely become a rigid corpse.
Bizarre Mei's left hand lost its response and fell into silence.
This was one of the costs of the exchange. With such a degree of silence, it would take at least three days for Bizarre Mei's left hand to recover. He couldn't count on it.
His body couldn't move, and he couldn't use Bizarre items.
Li Mo's mind raced, quickly thinking of a way to break the deadlock. He even skimmed through the memories of the Previous Era and the present world, like a spark falling on a barren plain and burning fiercely.
Wait... Misfortune ghost?
Why did the Misfortune ghost fall silent?
Li Mo thought of something wrong. Even as a cost of exchange, the Misfortune ghost would not instantly fall into silence.
It came from Bizarre Kiana, and its completeness was quite high. It was impossible for it not to have a single taunt when he used "Usurp."
The only possibility Li Mo could think of that could make the Misfortune ghost disappear without a trace in an instant.
The ghost that the Misfortune ghost feared most—Kiana Kaslana.
Li Mo struggled to look up and saw an unbearable scene.
The armor slipped off naturally like falling equipment in an MMD animation, revealing a fair and smooth delicate collarbone. The skin was pale, but the place where the collarbone and the skin met had a faint pink luster of a young girl, looking bright and clean under the washing of the lake water.
The well-defined and delicate shoulders, the cloak on them had already turned into messy fragments.
"Shigure Kira"?
No, not Shigure.
Due to the angle, Li Mo couldn't see the face. But the iconic ice-blue ponytail was scattered.
It had completely transformed into snow-white long hair like a waterfall, extending several meters behind her. It was soaked in the lake water and illuminated by the moonlight, like the Milky Way pouring down from the sky.
"Ngh...!"
Li Mo's head was lifted. This time, he saw the other person's face clearly.
Crimson star-moon eyes, with some scattered sky-blue remnants. It was Shigure Kira's face, but it was very close to Kiana's appearance. He could only see it vaguely through the lake water, as if it were covered with a thin layer of silvery white frost. Li Mo could only passively feel the chill and creepiness emanating from the icy skin and jade bones.
The pathologically pale lips were bloodless. The pathological face gradually approached, and a soft viper pried open his lips and swam in his mouth.
It intertwined, rotated, and adsorbed like seaweed.
Bizarre Kiana's cheeks had a moist and soft light. Her silvery white hair fell down, covering some of her demonic eyes. Her cold face actually showed a hazy blush, rippling in the reflection in Li Mo's eyes like a ripple.
And Li Mo took the opportunity to exchange air, crazily plundering the breath in Bizarre Kiana's mouth. The two were like paint on a picture, crazily dyeing each other, but neither could do anything to the other. Gradually, their breathing gradually unified, and with one breath in and one breath out, their lips and tongues met.
What entered the Bizarre treasure chest was not a complete Bizarre Kiana, but Shigure Kira possessed by Bizarre Kiana. Therefore, when Li Mo opened the Bizarre treasure chest.
What came out was not a complete Bizarre Kiana, but a Bizarre Kiana whose consciousness occupied the dominant position, but whose body was Shigure Kira's.
In a place that Li Mo had no time to pay attention to, the first page of the notebook faintly split again. The first split left a crack. This time, the wound in the middle of the page became more fragmented, with faint signs of completely separating.
After a long time, Bizarre Kiana reluctantly separated the lingering viper from Li Mo. Her eyes had an extra ray of clear sky blue like glazed glass, and the blush on her face became more intense.
She seemed to have regained some of her senses.
But Li Mo couldn't care less. He bit Bizarre Kiana's tongue and didn't let it go.
In at most two hours, the original rule of Bizarre "undead" could restore his body to a state where he could move. He absolutely could not let go of this artificial "oxygen tank."
Bizarre Kiana, whose tongue was bitten by Li Mo, was slightly stunned. The already scarce clear sky blue in her eyes was once again covered by crimson. The shy and angry expression was suddenly replaced by a pathological desire, as if she had gone mad, attacking and plundering, making Li Mo's breathing more and more rapid, his neck flushing red.
The restless viper disrupted Li Mo's breathing rhythm. She only cared about inhaling, only about her own comfort
