Lin Ye laughed and said, "If Erii wants to keep drawing, then go ahead and draw as much as you want."

He didn't care what kind of fortune Erii drew. As long as the girl was happy, nothing else mattered. If she really drew a bad fortune and it made her feel down, he would keep drawing until he got the best fortune. Anyway, there were only a hundred fortune sticks in the container. He didn't believe that he wouldn't get the best fortune by the hundredth one.

It's like drawing cards; at least there should be a pity system!

"Um!"

Encouraged, Erii nodded firmly.

She immediately picked up the bamboo stick container again and started shaking it. Before long, another bamboo stick fell out.

The middle-aged monk standing nearby picked up a bamboo stick, and his eye twitched immediately.

It's bad luck again!

Although he didn't speak, everyone present, including Erii, knew the result of the draw because the lot was exactly the same as the previously mentioned ominous lot.

"Eri, you continue!"

Lin Ye snatched the ominous divination stick from the monk's hand and snapped it in two with a crack.

"Please, young lady, continue." The middle-aged monk's lips twitched.

"Um!"

Erii shook the divination stick container again, and another bamboo stick fell out.

"fierce!"

Click!

"Another ominous sign!"

Click!

"Why is he still so fierce?!"

Click, click, click!

……

As Erii drew ominous fortune slips time and time again, the expressions of everyone else, including the middle-aged monk, gradually changed.

From initial blessings to strangeness, then to shock, and finally to horror.

In fact, many tourists come here to draw lots not entirely because they truly believe in this kind of lottery ceremony that can predict the future, but just for psychological comfort.

If you draw the best fortune, you'll naturally be in a good mood for days. If you draw the worst fortune, you can only curse your bad luck in your heart, but it's not a big deal.

But now that Erii has drawn an unlucky lot seventeen times in a row, it's not a coincidence, but rather a kind of destiny.

The middle-aged monk standing nearby also looked horrified.

There are hundreds of bamboo sticks in the entire divination tube, of which only eighteen are considered unlucky. If someone draws an unlucky stick in a row, it means that the person is under a lot of bad luck. However, if someone draws all eighteen sticks in a row, it is considered extremely unlucky.

Buddhist scriptures speak of eighteen levels of hell. Those who commit the most heinous sins are burdened with sins throughout their lives and will not be able to find liberation in this life. After death, they will go directly to the eighteenth level of hell to receive eternal punishment.

Until Erii shook out the eighteenth bamboo stick.

fierce!!!

It's fierce again!!!

Drawing all the unlucky lots eighteen times in a row—this is an extremely ominous sign!

The middle-aged monk was filled with horror. He never imagined that this girl, who looked so beautiful, would bear such a terrible fate.

But why would fate curse someone so cruelly, even to the point of sending them to the eighteenth level of hell?

Or is this girl merely using the guise of a perfect human to disguise herself, and in reality, a wicked demon crawled out of hell to wreak havoc on the world? Is this a sign from the heavens that this extremely evil demon is destined to return to the eighteenth level of hell?!

The middle-aged monk was extremely frightened and uneasy.

After all, drawing all eighteen unlucky lots in a row is no longer a coincidence, but an inevitability! It's a destiny ordained by fate!

The girl named Erii in front of me must be something extremely terrifying, otherwise she would never be subject to such a curse!

The way everyone looked at Erii changed. The beautiful blessings were gone, replaced by fear, the look of terror as if they were looking at a monster.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Erii's head drooped lower and lower, her expression completely hidden, but a chaotic energy began to emanate from the girl.

Suddenly, a cold wind arose, and the hanging lanterns swayed violently, their light flickering on and off.

"Ghost, ghost!"

The middle-aged monk let out a scream of extreme fear.

Because he was closer to Erii, he saw that the girl's originally deep red eyes suddenly turned fierce and bright, like lava rolling in hell.

This is exactly like the hell realm in Buddhist scriptures! Yes, this girl must be an extremely evil demon in human skin!

The middle-aged monk's sharp shout immediately sent everyone in the room into a frenzy.

They also saw Erii, whose red hair was dancing wildly, and whose golden eyes, like hellish lava, grew even colder, like a terrifying monster looking down on the world.

"what!!!"

The middle-aged monk was terrified and tried to run away, but he bumped into the boy who was coming from the opposite direction.

The monk looked up and saw Lin Ye. He quickly grabbed the man's collar and exclaimed, "Benefactor, your girlfriend is a ghost! She's an ultimate evil ghost, a girl destined for the eighteenth level of hell!"

"Damn it, you bald monk talk too much! Get the hell out of here!"

Lin Ye, impatient, punched the monk in the mouth, knocking out two of his front teeth.

The middle-aged monk immediately felt the pain and ran away in a sorry state, yelling loudly.

Lin Ye looked up and saw Erii's body begin to float into the air, her once gentle eyes now filled with a cold light.

Lin Ye took a deep breath. Facing this chaotic turn of events, he resolutely took a step forward, tightly grasped Erii's hand, and gently called out to the girl, "Erii..."

Chapter 32 Walking Against the Blade

Sensoji Temple.

The cold wind howled, like the mournful wails of evil spirits, and fear spread wildly from the temple, the place of prayer, like a tidal wave.

Tourists pushed and trampled each other, just to escape this place and the evil spirits as quickly as possible.

That's terrifying! I didn't know there really are evil spirits in this world!

They turned back in terror to look at Erii not far away. This girl, who had been as beautiful as a goddess in their hearts, now had eyes as dark as lava, which looked particularly fierce in the hazy night.

What terrifying eyes they were! They were like the most wicked demons from hell looking down on the world. Any living being that caught their eye would become food for this demon.

Yes, no wonder this girl is so stunningly beautiful, with no flaws whatsoever. She must be an extremely evil demon crawled out of hell, using such a perfect appearance to wreak havoc on the world.

Now, this evil spirit, overwhelmed by the grand Buddhist teachings of Senso-ji Temple, is about to reveal its hideous true form and unleash a frenzied and bloody massacre upon everyone present, like a long-awaited blood sacrifice.

"A ghost! That girl is an evil ghost! No wonder she drew eighteen unlucky lots in a row. This extremely wicked ghost is destined for hell!"

"Waaaaah, this is terrifying! Where are those highly respected monks? Where is the abbot of the temple?! Come quickly and suppress this evil spirit!"

"Those guys ran away long ago; the old abbot didn't even dare to turn back to pick up his shoes when he lost them!"

……

Exclamations of exasperation rose and fell, plunging the entire Senso-ji Temple into chaos.

Erii watched this scene in alarm.

She saw women, children, and the elderly crying and screaming in the crowd, their frail figures like a small boat being helplessly tossed about in a raging tide. Just moments before, these people had been laughing and talking, looking forward to a happy trip to Senso-ji Temple.

But those beautiful moments were like a painting being torn apart, and all of this was because of a terrible change that happened to the girl herself.

"No, no, no..."

Erii bit her lip, shaking her head repeatedly like a child who had done something wrong.

Her heart was in turmoil.

The dream that Lin Ye had woven for her with tenderness shattered at this moment.

She's not an angel, she's a monster. Her brother, Genjiro, is right. She should stay obediently in that white cage, otherwise she'll only hurt more people.

Erii's face was full of sorrow. Her body was huddled in her shrine maiden outfit, like a lone rock standing on the beach after the tide has receded.

"Why!"

Just as Erii was feeling down and heartbroken, a series of cold and evil voices seemed to rise from the depths of the girl's heart.

"Why do people think you're a monster? Why are you locked up in that white cage?!"

"Why should you, who clearly possess the authority of God, willingly cower in a corner? Why should the rules bind you instead of you making the rules?"

"Eri, you are pathetic and laughable. All of this is caused by your cowardice. You brought this tragedy upon yourself!"

"Why don't you stand up? Why don't you show the world your authority as a god? Erii, believe in yourself. You can do it. Once you take that step, everyone will recognize you and respect you, instead of treating you like a monster in a cage!"

……

"Eri is not a monster, Erii is really not a monster..."

Erii covered her ears; she didn't want to hear these crazy sounds, but they seemed to resonate deep within her soul.

Her head was hanging very low, yet the molten light in her pupils grew increasingly fierce, and her own aura began to become violently chaotic.

Chichichi——

A surge of cutting power erupted from Erii's center, cutting deep scratches into the surrounding log boxes, wooden tables, and other objects, some of which were shattered into pieces.

Lin Ye's body was also severed.

Just before Erii had truly begun to unleash her power of judgment, Lin Ye punched out two of the middle-aged monk's front teeth, then rushed to Erii's side, grabbed the girl's hand, and tried to wake her up.

The power of judgment that suddenly erupted from Erii was too strong, and it was simply not something that someone of Lin Ye's level could withstand. In the end, his physique had not been greatly improved. Even though he had fused with the combat-type Himura Kenshin, Kenshin himself was only strong in swordsmanship, and his physique was simply incomparable to that of a hybrid.

Previously, in the sword duel with the giant tortoise, the opponent had not even activated the Dragon Bone state, and Lin Ye felt that his body was almost falling apart when the reverse blade in his hand collided with the opponent's Spider Cutter. How much more so when Erii unleashed the power of judgment.

In an instant, Lin Ye's body was like a kite with a broken string under the impact. He was unable to hold Erii's hand and his body was uncontrollably swept backward under the impact.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Ye rushed more than ten meters away, and his body was covered with more than a dozen slashes, some of which were so deep that the bone was visible.

"Eriyi!"
