As she spoke, she turned and waved her arms, her red hair as hot as flames disappearing into the white mist.

Qin Rang hadn't recovered from Miss Rossetti's frantic shooting operation, he blinked incredibly, and looked at the direction where Miss Rossetti disappeared and was silent for a long time.

Qi Yan patted him on the shoulder: "Miss Rossetti has left." ”

"Oh," Qin Rang turned his head stunned, "This... What's going on? ”

"Is it your skill? Get Miss Rossetti from the last copy? Qin Rang finally realized something.

Qi Zhen nodded: "Just now I was dragged into the illusion by the evil spirit that manipulated Ema, and Miss Rossetti helped a lot. ”

"So that's really the case..."Qin Rang Nahan, "This skill is so powerful." ”

Qi Yan smiled and acquiesced: "Thanks to you just now giving me the spell pendant of the hot spring mother-in-law, it also helped a lot." ”

Qin Rang waved his hand: "What do you say, you bear the curse of the black ema yourself, and as a result, I don't have to do anything... Well, are there any useful clues in the illusion? ”

Qi Yan nodded: "I met Miss Yuzi, and I also found the real source of the fire in Hot Spring Street." ”

Qin Rang was slightly stunned: "Isn't the fire because Xiao Mi made a deal with the evil spirit?" ”

Qi Jiu: "Xiao Mi was just the "key" that triggered this disaster, and there was a fire at the former shrine site a hundred years ago, and I think that is the real source of the accident. ”

Qin Rang was completely stunned at this moment, but when he looked back and thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have really figured it out.

"Xiao Mi's Ema is still like this?" Qi asked.

Qin Rang nodded firmly: "Don't worry, I'm here." ”

Qi Jiu: "Let's go, let's take back this piece of Ema that Xiao Mi has forgotten, maybe she can remember some important clues." ”

"By the way, what's going on with your Ema?" Qin Rang looked at the Noh face that Qi Yan held in his hand and split it in half.

Qi Yan shrugged his shoulders and said in a depressed tone: "I was damaged by Miss Yuzi, and before I could find her to claim compensation, she ran away." ”

Qin Rang: "......"

"I just have a prop here to repair items, you can use it." Qin Rang quickly exchanged the repair props and handed them over to Qi Zhen, "Let's say okay first, don't give me coins in exchange, it's a thank you gift for you to trade with the evil spirit for me just now." ”

Up to now, Qin Rang is already very clear about Qi Yan's style, this guy pursues the principle of equivalent exchange, and never accepts the benefits of others in vain, even for partners who have been working together for a long time.

Qi Yan was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "Thank you, it's a great help." ”

Since he said so to the other party, Qi Jiu did not insist on paying the other party.

He also knew that he urgently needed to repair the props now, so he didn't fake politeness to Qin Rang.

The two of them stepped over the gate of the shrine, which had been battered by Miss Rossetti, and walked back to the foggy hot spring town.

Unlike when they came, the two of them no longer heard the sound of laughter, and the white mist just floated quietly in the night, flowing silently.

Ghostly fires flickered, and the sound of clogs pounded against the old stone stacks.

"Da Da Da-"

The two walked towards the hotel.

[Congratulations on finding an important clue and successfully promoting the side quest "The Truth of the Hotel Accident", which is currently unlocked by 80%]

【Promotion Side Reward: Obtain Item [Wood-colored Painted Horse]*1]

[Item description: Can be used for shrine prayer activities]

The prop he just got in his hand hadn't been heated yet, and Qi Yan had already figured out how to use it.

[Since you have opened the shrine map, triggered important hidden plot points, and successfully opened the hidden main quest of "The Truth of the Fire in Yunoya", please actively obtain relevant clues to complete the branch quest]

[Current hidden main progress: 0%]

On the way back, Qi Ji found that the black ema belonging to him had been taken out of the shrine illusion and tied to his yukata at some point.

The front of the black Ema still has the wish to "meet Miss Ikuko" written on it, but the price on the back has changed again-

"Please let Ikuko-san be free"

At the same time, the system pops up a message box [Congratulations on successfully unlocking the free branch: "Help Miss Yuko to free"]

[Note: This branch is an optional completion branch, you can choose whether to complete it according to your preferences and abilities]

Qi Zhen looked at the black painted horse thoughtfully, and quickly went through the clues he had obtained tonight and the places he hadn't figured out for the time being.

What is now certain is:

First, Miss Ikuko knew the guy's character and looked scared at his face;

Second, the hot spring street fire accident was a deal between Koya, who was born with psychic ability, and Miss Yuko, who used her energy field as a connection to lead the century-long yin fire to the real hot spring street, thus causing the tragic fire on Chinese New Year's Eve that killed 21 people;

Third, because of the fire incident at Yu's House a hundred years ago, the Yin Fire on this street has continued to this day, and the Yin Fire uses Miss Yuko's resentment as an incendiary object and will not be extinguished for a hundred years, so truly eliminating Miss Yuko's resentment can fundamentally prevent the disaster from happening.

Of course, Qi Yan was skeptical of Miss Yuzi's life experience.

Although the story of the wandering girl who was pregnant with the child of a noble family and was unfortunately killed sounds very reasonable at first glance, it is a bit unbelievable that this noble family did not hesitate to burn the entire flower street for this reason, after all, for the nobles of the old days, it was an easy thing to kill the Oiran, and there was no need to make such a big move.

And the crack on Miss Yuko's face also looks like someone cut it with a knife before she died...... What was the secret of Miss Yuko that made the people at that time treat her in such a cruel way?

Sometimes cruelty itself symbolizes fear, but did Miss Ikuko make the people of the time feel fearful?

Judging from the performance of the filth in the soup pool, this Miss Yuzi seems to have a preference for "biting", and Miss Yuko also proposed to drink his blood just now, so is Miss Yuzi pica? Or is it a spirit that sucks human blood in a similar weird story?

In that guy's hint dream, there is also a blood-stained screen, a long knife made in blood, and the blood wine that the other party brewed in front of him.

The truth of Miss Yuko's life experience has also become confusing.

"In other words, if Xiao Mi is really the ghost of the victims who died in the New Year's Eve accident, she is disguised as a player in the dungeon..."Qin Rang opened his mouth to interrupt Qi Jiu's contemplation, "Then other players may not be able to discover the plot line of the shrine Ema, they don't know that Xiao Mi is also a ghost of the victims, so won't they never be able to complete the task of "surpassing all the victims' ghosts"? ”

The witch believes that only by overstepping or clearing all the dead spirits can she leave the dungeon before the final disaster strikes.

If the player does not discover the identity of Xiaomi's mother and daughter, they will never be able to achieve the over-the-top plan, and they will never be able to leave the dungeon smoothly before disaster strikes.

"This dungeon is too cunning, and it actually sets up distractions in the player!" Qin Rang said indignantly.

Qi Zhen: "The most terrifying thing is that Xiao Mi is also convinced that she is a player, although she may be able to remember something in some moments, but ......"

He swallowed it back in the middle of his words, what is the situation of Xiao Mi, and he will hand over the black New Year's wish Ema to her later, and everything will be clear.

*

When the two returned to the hotel, it was exactly ten o'clock in the evening, and the players were already waiting for their meal in the cafeteria.

Qi Yan and Qin Rang went directly to the restaurant, and Xiao Mi sat beside his wife and ate ice cream boredly.

"Madam, excuse me, can I say a few words to Xiao Mi alone?" Qi Zhen took the initiative to ask his wife.

The lady who was eating sashimi was stunned for a moment: "Of course you can, but it depends on Xiaomi..."

"Mom, I'm fine," Xiao Mi said to her mother with a smile as she licked the ice cream, "I just want to talk to this brother too." ”

The lady curled her hands on her chest uneasily, but smiled softly on her face: "Okay, then you talk first, and then I'll pick something to eat." ”

As soon as Mrs. left her seat with a dinner plate, Qi Yan sat down opposite Xiao Mi: "Xiao Mi, I went to the shrine and found something that belongs to you." ”

At this moment, he was holding the black ema with Xiaoya's New Year's wish written on it.

Xiao Mi half-lowered her eyelids, eating ice cream intently and not speaking.

Qi Yan asked: "Before returning it to you, I think you may have to be mentally prepared." ”

Xiao Mi still didn't make a sound, and after a while, she finally lifted her eyelids and looked at Qi Jiu: "Since you chatted with me last night, I seem to remember something, but it seems to be ......."

She shook her head, looking over Qi Yan's shoulder to look at the night and fog outside the window, "Those seem to be my memories, and they don't seem to be, I can't tell the difference... And mom... I..."

Xiao Mi wanted to speak and stopped, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of sadness: "I seem to have lost her." ”

"Madame is a very gentle and kind person." Qi Yan whispered, and at the same time, he put the ema with Xiao Mi's wish written on it on the dining table, and gently covered it with his palm, "Do you want to know the truth?" ”

Xiao Mi was stunned for a moment, she seemed to have forgotten the ice cream she was holding in her hand, and the melted vanilla-flavored cream penetrated her fingers, cold and slimy.

She looked blankly at Qi Ju's hand holding Ema, and suddenly asked, "Do you think I should know the truth?" ”

Qi Ji looked at her quietly: "I think you have already noticed something. ”

The melted ice cream ran down her fingers, quickly staining her sleeves.

Qi Yan didn't urge, he patiently waited for Xiao Mi to make a choice, and it wasn't until the little girl in front of him nodded very lightly that he removed his hand from the painted horse.

Xiao Mi looked straight at the black ema and looked at the handwriting left by the ema himself.

After a while, she finally blinked and smiled briefly: "I understand." ”

After saying that, she closed her eyes deeply, and her eyelashes fluttered.

She remembered completely—

She was different from ordinary children since she was a child, she would see noisy dirty things, she would have prophetic dreams, and there seemed to be some powerful, unknown energy flowing through her body.

After her mother died of illness, she began to dream about this shrine and this hot spring street repeatedly, and out of curiosity, she looked up the information of the hot spring street and the shrine on the Internet, and learned that this is a very effective shrine, so she hid from her guardian and followed the tour group to the hot spring street alone during the New Year's holiday.

She successfully found this shrine according to the guidance of the dream, and she was a little disappointed when she learned that it was a shrine for marriage, but when she came, she still wrote her New Year's wishes in black Ema on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"I want to forget that my mother has left, and let my mother come back to life, or let me go back to my mother."

"Prayer Person: Xiao Mi"

For this she is willing to give everything she has, including her own life.

Unexpectedly, on the night she made her wish, a strange explosion occurred in the hot spring street, and the fire quickly spread to this tourist street dominated by wooden buildings, and twenty-one lives disappeared in the fire, including Xiao Mi himself.

But unlike all the victims, she had her own mother after her death.

The shrine fulfilled her wish, and the wish itself was the "key" to the accident.

The evil spirit in the shrine uses the powerful energy in her body as a trigger, and the hundred-year-long fire of the Yin Spirit burns into the streets of reality, causing a tragic accident on Chinese New Year's Eve.

"I made your wish come true, you also provided me with energy, only you are special, Xiaomi."

"You're not like the mediocre spirits, they can only be my ghosts."

"And you're free, you're finally back to having your own mom, that's your wish.

"Xiaomi, forget all the loss and sorrow, and start your life again with your mother, you said that you want to spend a hot spring vacation with your mother."

A beautiful young lady dressed in a scarlet dress that covered half of her face said to her.

The young lady repeatedly told her that she was special, that she had a mother, that she needed to start a new life, and that she must be happy to have a mother.

Under the bewitchment of the other party and her self-hypnosis, she gradually learns to use forgetting to escape the guilt of causing the accident, and only by forgetting can she start over with her mother.
