Chapter 3: The Demons of the Heart

After about fourteen minutes of the appointed time, Yan Yu Gentle Zhou pushed open the door to the library. Zhou was a little surprised that the time spent in the other space was shorter than he expected.

It was Mike and a familiar girl who caught his eye. At this moment, the two are sitting together at a certain distance, burying their heads and playing with their mobile phones, as if they want to avoid this embarrassing atmosphere of being a lonely man and a widow.

Remember...... It's a girl who eats at McDonald's with Yan Yurou.

"Anna, Mike?" Zhou greeted.

"Classmate Zhou is here too?" Seeing that the male god was also there, Anna was quite happy. When she saw Zhou and Yan Yurou coming in together, she wouldn't think as much as Mike, after all, she knew that Yan Yurou had someone she liked.

Thinking about it, Anna felt that she still had a chance.

"We're all here, so let's make a long story short." Yan Yurou didn't care what they were thinking, and found a chair to sit next to Mike.

"I need your help."

Zhou realized this as soon as he entered the door. But he was still a little surprised, "You're not ......"

"Correct, I said 'assist.'" Yan Yurou tilted her head slightly, and glanced at Zhou, who was sitting behind him, interrupting him. "You know that, right?"

Zhou couldn't refute what happened just now, if it weren't for Yan Yurou, he would have died...... When Yan Yurou used an unprecedented magic that was enough to subvert his worldview to eliminate the black-robed man, he understood that Yan Yurou was not so arrogant that he didn't need to cooperate, nor did he look down on people, it was really just because he was just an ordinary person.

Hearing this, Anna suddenly noticed something, and hurriedly said, "Charlotte, could that person find you again?!" ”

"I don't know if it's the same person, I've already killed the one I found this time." Yan Yurou replied without a trace of emotion, "Correct, what we met before was for you." ”

"What ......"

Yan Yurou took out a photo from her pocket and handed it to Anna.

"You know this person, right?"

Anna saw the child smiling at the camera on a bicycle in the photo, and after a few minutes of recollection, she remembered.

"It's Im! My neighbor's child when I was a child. Anna remembers that when she was a child, she used to go to Imu's house to play, but after Imu moved out of town, she never contacted her again.

Wait a minute! Leaving town?! Could it be ......

"Yes, Imu drowned less than three days after leaving town.

And that day, before he became the master, he was what Im was after his death.

"This so-called 'god' is good at using human fear, guilt, and other negative emotions to play with people, so there must be a reason why Imu came to you.

"But...... I didn't do anything to him, huh? Even if he died, it wouldn't be my fault, would it?! Fear fueled Anna's emotions.

Yan Yurou couldn't answer this question for her, she just thought of a possibility.

"So, do you know why Imu moved out?"

"I ......" was just about to deny, a light flashed through her mind, and the vague childhood memories became clear.

Reasons to move out? Ahβ€”it seems like it's because of myself.

Disappearances weren't as frequent as they are now, and if it weren't for the curses in the town, there would have been only one reason for Im to move away.

"You go! I don't want to see you again! Imu is a big badass! ”

Seeing her beloved vase accidentally broken by Imu, young Anna cries and kicks the apologizing Im out of her house.

Even...... He also told people to bully Im every day when he was going to and from school. Even though I wasn't there at the time, I knew that I had instructed it, right?

Maybe he was young and ignorant at the time, but he must have hurt Im's heart deeply, right? Being bullied like this, there is nothing to do about moving away.

The cursed can never escape, and the only way to escape is death.

The reason why Anna was told about Im was also to prevent the future plan from being uncertain. If they can't defeat their demons, Yanyurou can save themselves, but they can't save the people of this town.

"Im, I'm sorry......" Before she knew it, Anna burst into tears.

No matter how you quibble, you killed Im, it's a fact. Because of his unreasonableness, he hurt his former best friend, and this kind of self made Anna very disgusted.

"You don't have to apologize, Anna."

Anna raised her head and looked at Zhou with some surprise, she didn't expect her male god to comfort herself.

"But ......"

"Even if there is a reason for you, it is still the fault of the person who attacked Im after all, isn't it?" Zhou's afterglow glanced at Yan Yurou, who was speechless, "If you want to atone for your sins, help her." ”

"Said it was to help ......" Mike, the only one who didn't know Yanyurou yet, grabbed his hair, "I still haven't figured out the situation......"

"Didn't I come here to go to school, do you know what I mean?"

That is to say...... Will you be gone when it's over? Mike's reaction was also natural, he felt that the goddess was leaving, and it should be graduation and leaving, not just a few days...... "Okay, Charlotte, I still have a question, why did you choose us?"

The reason given by Yan Yurou is simple:

"You have magic."

Expecting several people to have varying degrees of shock and doubt, Yan Yurou continued:

"There are supernatural powers in this world, and magic is also a part of it, and powerful magic can give humans superhero-like abilities

"And you don't have enough magic in you to awaken into abilities, so you're at best a 'Muggle with a little more magic than the average person.'"

"But even the slightest level of magic is enough to get it interested."

"Wait, who is it?" As soon as the night passed, Yan Yurou began to take action, which meant that she must have known something, and Zhou, who was eager to explore the truth, interrupted Yan Yurou regardless of politeness and hurriedly asked.

"The creator of this world."

"Huh......?" This kind of answer made Zhou feel disdainful, "Are you saying that there are gods in this world?" The idea of God's creation exists only in the Bible, and the atheist Zhou scoffs at Yanyurou's inference.

Take 10,000 steps back, if there is really a word of God, why would they look for us like ants.

Yan Yurou hugged and sneered: "Which world did I say?" ”

If, whether it is supernatural power or magic, it is a shock to them. Then, the next answer is enough to subvert their three views.

"This is not the earth, but a created virtual world."
