Chapter 303: The Purple Sakura of the Grave

Four Seasons, Reimu, and Demon Dreams walked into the Lost Tomb. ∈ ♀ top novel,

It's not surprising that there is no tombstone erected in the cemetery, which is called a burial mound, because this is a cemetery for the unlucky. Fate is the bond between people, and because there is a lack of this bond with people, no one will naturally erect a tombstone for them.

A person's life is a short period of decades, and it is definitely a sad thing if there is no one to mourn for him in the end.

Upon stepping into it, Shiki felt that sadness.

Unlike the ghosts of the underworld that I encountered when I went through the path of rethinking, some souls full of sorrow and resentment appeared here.

The suicidal who could not muster the courage to live when they passed through the path of rethinking are such souls that appear here.

Shiki looked at the mist in front of him, unlike the ghosts before him, those souls were like shadows that were difficult to see with the naked eye, and ordinary people could probably only feel the slightest cold.

Shiki felt a little sad, he felt the cycle of life. Birth, growth, aging, death, called the cycle of life, that is the power of every being, and now they are all trapped in this state of non-birth, and cannot move on to the next stage. Although they are very similar to the ghosts before them, the form of zài is too sad.

"Can you overtake them?"

So Shiki asked.

"Ah, of course, if you can do it."

Reimu nodded for the question, she was a little surprised that Shiki would be so enthusiastic about this, after all, Shiki usually looked expressionless.

"Surrender your resentment and sorrow to me, and may you have a hopeful afterlife."

The Four Seasons did not recite the canons of any religion, but ordinary words, but they meant more than any pious prayer.

At that moment, the land responded to the words of the four seasons, and the surrounding trees swayed without wind, and then the cherry blossoms, which had not bloomed for a long time due to late spring, sprouted. The cherry blossoms are blooming, and unlike the pink cherry blossoms in other places, the cherry blossoms that bloom here are purple.

Purple cherry blossoms, the flower of regret that blooms for the thoughts of sin.

In the blink of an eye, the cherry blossoms have completed the process of budding, blooming, and drifting.

Countless purple cherry blossom petals fall from the branches, and it looks like they are crying for the people who have no grave.

Reimu and Youmu were robbed of their language by this dreamlike and poignant landscape, and could only stare at the changes around them and the four seasons that caused this scene.

Standing in the middle of the gorgeous cherry blossom petals, Shiki stretches out his finger ahead.

So the shadows around them, the countless wandering phantoms found their way, and the souls who had spent an unknown amount of time in the cage of self-construction took another step forward. A path seemed to appear at their feet, and that was the road to the Santu River, which led to the other side.

The shadow of the soul disappeared, and the purple cherry blossoms that fell like rain were also gone, no matter how much you searched, you couldn't find it, and the surrounding trees were still the same as before, and the qiē just now was completely like a hallucination.

Reimu rubbed her eyes, if nothing had changed, but it wasn't really that there had been no change.

"Purified."

Youmeng muttered.

The sorrow that was originally full of the Lost Tomb has disappeared without a trace, the Lost Tomb has been purified, and the souls here have been exceeded.

"That's fine."

Shiki said with satisfaction as he felt the changes around him.

"Originally, when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, purple cherry blossoms would bloom here, and as the cherry blossoms drifted away, the land here would be purified."

Suddenly, a voice that had never been heard before sounded in the mound.

If the appearance of this voice is very unexpected, it is not necessarily, because Shiji felt a powerful aura before the sound sounded, but if it is said that there is a little surprise, because the other party is moving too fast, and the other party has already come to him when he feels it.

Shiki looked in the direction where the voice came from, and that powerful aura was probably more powerful than the youkai great sage he had ever seen.

There stood two men, one tall and one short.

The tall one was a girl with crimson shoulder-length hair and a long blue dress, with high clogs at her feet and a huge scythe in her hand, just like the legendary Grim Reaper's scythe. In addition, the figure is very good, even if you wear conservative clothes, you can't cover your oversized breasts, and the four seasons are much bigger than Qiuhua.

However, it was not the tall girl who came with a powerful aura, but the petite girl in front of her. The girl wore a blue dress that looked formal, with the words "yes" and "no" embroidered on the shoulders of the dress. She has short green hair, a crown on her head, and holds a token in her hand that looks like a wat, and the scythe is different from the dangerous but has another kind of deterrent.

Such two people can't buy them from the four seasons, because their appearance, to be precise, the appearance of a small girl, the expressions on the faces of Reimu and Youmeng are a little stiff, and that expression is not like encountering danger and enemies, but like a student who skips class meets a teacher.

"Uh...... The troublesome guy is coming. ”

Reimu muttered in a low voice, trying to reduce his sense of existence as much as possible, and the demon dream next to him also reacted in the same way.

Shiki is very unclear about the appearance of the two of them, so the two girls who suddenly appeared here are not dangerous characters, although they are dangerous in another sense, they are not residents of Gensokyo, but they have a close continuity with Gensokyo. The tall one is a Grim Reaper, a world in which the Grim Reaper is the people of hell who manage the lifespan of human beings, lead the way for ghosts, and send ghosts across the Three Ways River. There are many Grim Reapers, and the one in front of them is the ghost in charge of Gensokyo. The short maiden was the god of death's boss, Enma, who condemned the deceased and judged that the deceased should go to hell, the heavens, or some other place according to the crime. The girl in front of her is the Enma who is the judge of the dead in Gensokyo.

"Hello."

Shiki stepped forward and greeted the two young girls.

"Hello."

"Hey, you were the one who purified this place just now, right? It's amazing. ”

Compared to his boss, the Grim Reaper seemed to like to talk.

"I don't think I've seen you here before?"

"I'm here recently."

"Oh......"

The Grim Reaper wanted to continue, but her boss, Enma, interrupted her.

"You don't seem to belong here, do you?"

The Enma, who was watching the four seasons, seemed to see something.

"Yes, I don't belong to this world. My name is Shiki, and I'm an intervener. ”

Hearing Shiki's self-introduction, the expressions of both Enma and Death changed slightly, and then the corners of Enma's mouth rose slightly.

"My name is Shikieihime Amasanadu, and I'm the Enma of Hell."
