What era is it? Why are people still writing traditional diaries?

As Hiiragi said this, he pinched a few talismans in his hand in advance, and at the same time applied some strengthening spells on himself, preparing to go to the basement in one go to find out Geng Xizi's current situation.

But the last section of stairs seemed particularly difficult to walk on.

With each step down, the connection between Hiiragi and the earth veins becomes clearer.

Similarly, the resentment in the basement that was almost turning into reality was becoming more and more obvious.

It seems that this vengeful spirit, which has existed for more than half a century and had a great chance of becoming a god but was abandoned by the Shinto upper echelons, has finally taken the most critical step in the past ten years.

Even though he hasn't felt the special-grade oppression yet, judging from the resentment, it has already far exceeded the normal level of the first level.

If he had come a few months later, I'm afraid he would have become a genuine special-grade vengeful spirit.

"Your boss picked a perfect time to discover this place. If the other party truly becomes a special-grade vengeful spirit, I'm afraid this school will be forced to suffer a large-scale 'food poisoning incident'."

Just as Hiiragi was mentally prepared to use all the spiritual power in her shrine maiden costume to forcibly suppress the opponent, an angry and heart-shaking howl suddenly came from the direction of the basement.

This howling almost scared Ito Kaiji to death.

He trembled as he held onto the wall beside the stairs, stammering and asking Hiiragi what had happened downstairs.

But the next moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the ground.

Just when Hiiragi was ready to fight with all her might, she was shocked to find that Geng Xizi's vengeful spirit didn't even look at them, and rushed past them with extreme anger.

At such a speed, even Kaiji Ito didn't have time to react. By the time he realized what had just happened and screamed, Geng Xizi's vengeful spirit had already disappeared.

I don’t know who provoked her to make her look so angry.

Hiiragi Qi stared blankly at Geng Xizi leaving. For some reason, she suddenly thought of Miyauchi Hikage who was outside.

It seems that the only thing that can stimulate Geng Xizi is the shadow of the palace outside.

Could it be that after realizing he couldn't contact them, Miyauchi Hikage made some big noise outside?!

So how did the young man who was favored by the sorcerer make Geng Xizi so angry that she doesn't even want her hometown anymore?

But there was no way that Hiiragi Qi would let go of this opportunity. After being stunned for a few seconds, she quickly rushed down to the basement, ready to establish a connection with the earth veins here first, and after solving this barrier, she would go to look for the whereabouts of Miyauchi Hikage.

Chapter 180: Ying Xizi's Hatred

On Miyauchi Hikage's side, after Geng Xizi was "dazed" for a long time, after reading these diaries, she could only confirm that the diary she obtained was indeed more mysterious than her existence.

However, as a warning message appeared on the diary again, Geng Xizi realized that now was not the time to find out the origin of this diary.

The most important thing now is to confirm what exactly the crisis mentioned in this diary is?

If she was the confused and sleepy girl before, who would feel sleepy and want to sleep after just a dozen minutes of activity, she might never have realized this.

But now, with the help of this diary, Geng Xizi felt as if her spirit had been reborn.

It seemed like she hadn't felt so clear-headed for years.

It was like... returning to her previous life.

But the next moment, she realized a problem.

It seems that he has lost all his memories of his previous life since he was born.

She only remembered that her name should be Yuko and she was a student of this school.

Then based on the rumors about her circulating in this school, her identity during her lifetime seemed quite diverse.

Sometimes it was said that she died of illness, sometimes she jumped off a building for love, and recently there seemed to be rumors that she was brutally murdered by a serial killer.

Different from humans.

A ghost is a being that changes due to rumors.

As a dead ghost, all the rumors related to "Yuko-san" in this school seem to be reflected back on her after the passage of time.

"Maybe it's because I have forgotten my own memories and gradually began to lose track of who my real self is, so I began to enter that 'lost' state?" Geng Xizi analyzed in her mind.

It seems that this is the highest possibility at the moment.

Ghosts are born out of a trace of obsession.

If she can't even remember the obsession that gave her birth, then even if she can continue to survive by relying on rumors, if she continues like this, is she Yuko's ghost, or is she "Yuko-san" pieced together through countless rumors and ghost stories?

Looking at the stone tablet in front of her, which seemed to have also experienced the baptism of time, she felt that she should be able to distinguish which ones were the real "Yuko".

Thinking of this, she turned her head to look at the shadow of Miyano behind her, and then sat on the stone tablet that was erected for her by someone unknown.

"Seeing this stone tablet seems to have made me a little more sober."

She had already confirmed that no matter how she tried to mention the diary, the two ordinary people in front of her seemed to have no reaction, so she simply changed her words.

Now Fujinomiya Kishi finally understood.

After all, she had seen Geng Xizi staring at the stone tablet for nearly ten minutes, and saying some inexplicable words that she couldn't understand, which made her a little nervous that he might suddenly go berserk or something.

Fortunately, Miss Geng Xizi seems to be relatively rational at the moment.

She stood halfway behind Miyauchi Hikage and asked, "Ms. Geng Xizi, have you remembered anything?"

Geng Xizi shook her head with a bitter look on her face. "I seem to have forgotten a lot of things, and at the same time, there are some memories in my head that shouldn't be mine. I'm trying to separate them now, but it doesn't seem that easy."

"I feel like I experienced some unpleasant things in my life, so after becoming a ghost, I chose to forget those memories."

She explained her memory situation to Fujinomiya Kimi.

"You just said you wanted to film my life story and post it online, right?"

"Since you all know my real name, you should also know what happened to me in my lifetime. Even if your investigation is unclear, it doesn't matter. Can you tell me what you know now?"

Geng Xizi looked at the warning in the diary and continued, "Even if those are not pleasant memories, I must recall these things now and find my true self."

Fujinomiya Kishi was a little hesitant.

She had already learned the truth of that year through Miyauchi Hikage.

But the truth is indeed a bit too cruel and dark.

She wondered what the consequences of telling this story to this now forgotten ghost would be.

Let Miyauchi Hikage make the decision on this matter.

Miyauchi Hikage secretly felt a sense of guidance from fate in his heart.

Then he opened his eyes.

"Although more than half a lifetime has passed, it's still a story that makes people feel despair. Miss Geng Xizi, choosing to forget that memory is indeed a relief. Are you sure you can shoulder that past again now?"

Hearing the serious tone of Miyauchi Hikage, Geng Xizi couldn't help but feel a little shaken.

She seemed unsure whether she was really ready now.

She reached out and gently stroked the stone tablet with her name on it.

She seemed to be able to feel the regret and sadness on the stone tablet.

"It's been so long..."

Geng Xizi herself was a little dazed.

Has it really been that long?

She pretended to be relaxed and nodded towards Miyauchi Hikage: "Tell me, it's been so long, I think I should have let it go."

Miyauchi Hikage raised his camera and adjusted the shooting mode.

Geng Xizi's figure disappeared from the camera lens.

The camera in this mode will not capture those supernatural scenes.

In the camera, there was only the stone tablet with Yuko's name engraved on it.

After dusk, when the sky gradually darkened, Miyauchi Hikage told the story again in the form of narration.

However, he still used the original copy he wrote based on the animation script as a template.

The Geng family, the guardian shrine of the times.

A school was built on the site of the original shrine after it fell into decline.

The great plague more than sixty years ago.

The death toll is rising every day.

The atmosphere became increasingly tense and anxious.

When an ignorant villager mentioned that in the past, sacrifices were made to appease the wrath of the gods, a group of people struggling on the brink of life and death suddenly felt that they had grabbed the last straw.

"And the sacrifice that the group of villagers finally selected," Miyauchi Hikage pointed to the stone tablet with Yuko's name engraved on it, and also pointed to Geng Yuko sitting on the stone tablet.

"It was this Geng Xizi who was less than 16 years old at the time."

Then, there was another long silence, and the camera only captured a breeze blowing through the woods.

Miyauchi Hikage completed the recording of this segment with satisfaction.

Geng Xizi did not interrupt his explanation throughout the whole process.

There is a hint of magic of destiny in his voice, coupled with his experience in shooting short videos for several years.

The effect of the sky changing from dusk to darkness in the camera also looks pretty good.

This part should be able to be kept in the video.

He looked at Geng Xizi in front of him.

A look of reminiscence appeared on Geng Xizi's face at this moment.

It seemed that because of the story told by Miyauchi Hikage, I was drawn into that past.

A trace of regret and sadness appeared on her face from time to time.

But after Miyauchi Hikage finished speaking, she shook her head at Miyauchi Hikage again.

"I seem to have some impression of what you said. It seems to be my past, but it seems that this is not the most crucial part."

She hesitated for a moment, then added, "If that were all, I wouldn't find it so difficult to accept."

Miyauchi Hikage nodded.

This is true.

Geng Xizi is a person who is willing to sacrifice herself for others.

Originally, when she was alive, she saw her sister's strange behavior and mistakenly thought that her sister was going to be sacrificed to save the villagers. Her attitude seemed to have also considered replacing her sister with herself.

But who could have thought that the sister she wanted to rescue would stab her with the most crucial blow at the last moment?

Miyauchi Hikage took two steps forward.

"Yeah, I also think this is not the most crucial point. So, do you think there is something missing from the story I just told you?"

Geng Xizi seemed to realize something, but then shook her head violently.

If it were her before, she would have probably had the idea of ​​escaping and not daring to face it at this point.

But now, her overly clear mind made it impossible for her to escape at this moment.

After more than half a century, the scene from the past seemed to reappear in her mind.

The girl in white sacrificial robes and a white cloth on her head pointed at her and said in a voice that was very familiar to her, "The offering is Geng Xizi," with extremely cold words.

She stared blankly at the tombstone beneath her and uttered the name that she had forgotten for more than half a century.

"Zizi..."

As Geng Xizi spoke, Fujinomiya Kishi, who was standing behind Miyauchi Hikage, suddenly felt a chill coming from nowhere.

She couldn't help but shiver, then clung tightly to Miyauchi Hikage's back, trying to make herself feel more comfortable.

Miyauchi Hikage slightly turned his body and took a few steps back with Fujinomiya Kishi.

At the end of the path, Ying Xizi, who had a hideous face and exuded black energy, finally realized that there was a problem with her body, and followed her own aura to chase after her.

At this time, Miyauchi Hikage could clearly see that Ying Yuzi's eyes were on him.

Judging from the reaction of Fujinomiya Kishi who was holding him tightly behind him and suddenly increased the strength, because they had already established a connection with Geng Yuko, Fujinomiya Kishi could now also see Ying Yuko's existence.

"You... made me remember this?"
