"Eh, have I completely escaped from the illusory world?"
Pei Zi Yun looked around. The sun had not risen yet, but the sky was already bright. He looked at the Rimengkoku and sighed. He thought to himself, "This Rimengkoku is not simple."
From what Pei Zi Yun remembered, just fighting with the Ghost Dependents had consumed a lot of his energy.
Although the Ghost Dependents were not strong, there were too many of them. They were difficult to deal with, and their weaknesses were hard to find. If not for the fact that they were trapped in the illusory world, although he could not break the seal, he could still sense them and kill them all in a short period of time.
If others were to encounter these Ghost Dependents, they would most likely be surrounded and killed. Even if they were to deal with these troublesome Ghost Dependents, it would take a lot of time and energy. In the end, they would end up exhausted.
Omoka Tomoshi seemed to have thought of this as well. He bowed deeply and said, "Yamada-kun, thank you very much for your help. Please follow me!"
"Although the sky is bright and the Rimengkoku is relatively safe, there are still many taboos. The exit is in the hall in front. I think it is better to leave this place."
Omoka Tomoshi and Yoshio Heng Yuan had been to the Rimengkoku before, so they had some understanding of the geography and the situation. Disregarding everything else, just Ji Zhuo alone was not a good time to meet.
When Xiaobai was separated, she would grow old. To a woman, this was undoubtedly a very unpleasant thing.
Pei Zi Yun nodded and followed Omoka Tomoshi. After walking for a while, they turned a few corners and saw a large hall.
The hall looked half grey and half black. From time to time, there would be some dark stripes. Looking at these stripes made one feel dizzy and irritated.
Pei Zi Yun saw the corpses in the middle of the hall. He counted them carefully and realized that there were five of them. One of them was the corpse of Yoshio Heng Yuan. His face was ferocious, and there were bloody holes in his body.
Pei Zi Yun turned and asked, "Are we not going to deal with these corpses?"
The other corpses were fine, but this Yoshio Heng Yuan was, after all, from a prestigious family. He was the son of a vassal state. The shogunate had also seen that someone had used the name of the Emperor to divide Japanese society into nobles and samurai. Hence, the shogunate had decreed that the difference between the two should be removed.
This was the Taisei Shoichi. There were five ranks: Duke, Marquis, Count, Viscount, Baron, and Samurai. The old nobles were given the title of Baron and above according to their family.
The Heng Yuan Family used to have the title of viscount.
After entering a democratic society, these titles of nobility were abolished. However, most of the members of parliament were made up of these people. They were active in both the political and business circles, and had served as the Prime Minister of the Inner Cabinet many times. Therefore, even if it was reasonable to kill Hengyuan Yukio, it would definitely cause a lot of trouble.
If reason and law were to be used everywhere, what class would there be?
Pei Zi Yun wasn't afraid, but he knew what was going on. Just as he finished speaking, the five corpses on the floor started to change.
First, the blood, which still carried a fishy smell, quickly dried up. Then, at a speed visible to the naked eye, the corpse gradually dried up until it shrank into a shriveled corpse that no longer had a human shape.
"Hmm, is this a sacrifice?" Seeing this scene, Pei Zi Yun suddenly understood why the Li Jian Guan would side with Heng Yuan Xiong. Perhaps Heng Yuan Xiong's various methods were part of the reason, but to the Li Jian Guan, it was the sacrifice that attracted them.
But when did Rikkan know that he was suitable to be a sacrifice?
Could it be that this Rimi-chan has some kind of probing ability and found that I'm more suitable as a sacrifice, or is there some other reason?
This thought flashed through Pei Zi Yun's mind.
Tomoshi Ohka didn't know what he was thinking. He lowered his head and said, "Yamada-kun, as you can see, this is a sacrifice!"
"Do you see that door? The exit of the Rimi-chan is that door. As long as you walk out of that door, you can leave the Rimi-chan! "Tomoshi Ohka pointed to a door as he spoke. With that, he took a few steps forward and stepped out.
Pei Zi Yun watched as Tomoshi Ohka walked out. Without hesitation, he followed suit.
Indeed, the moment he stepped out of the door, it wasn't the original door, but he had indeed left the Rimi-chan. It felt like a boundary.
Tomoshi Ohka didn't leave. Instead, he waited outside the door. He took a deep breath and bowed. "Yamada-kun, thank you once again for your help. Although the Heng Yuan family has declined, now that Heng Yuan Xiong is dead, I'm afraid there will be an intense turmoil in the Heng Yuan family."
"Not only the Heng Yuan family, but also the businesses related to the Heng Yuan family. Hence, I have to go back and deal with a series of matters."
"Do you need my help?" Pei Zi Yun asked.
"No! Yamada-kun, you've already saved my life. I'll repay you after I've dealt with the Heng Yuan family. "
"Is that so?" Pei Zi Yun replied nonchalantly. He nodded casually. "Let's do that then!"
Pei Zi Yun walked out. Seeing Pei Zi Yun move, Tomoshi Ohka followed suit. They left the Rimi-chan and arrived at the road outside. There was still some distance to go. Tomoshi Ohka asked, "Yamada-kun, do you have any dreams now?"
Pei Zi Yun smiled. "My dream is to let my 'Conquering the National Society' spread all over the country when I'm still in junior high!"
"Secondly, I hope that my works can become popular all over Japan!"
Pei Zi Yun had already published his footprints on the internet and was accumulating his fame. Once he made it public, it would definitely cause a sensation.
A twelve-year-old had traveled all over the country and published many outstanding works, winning the Araki Prize, Ōka Prize, and Ogawa Prize. How shocking was that?
This was a legend that only appeared once in a hundred years in Japan.
"In short, I hope that when I graduate from junior high, I can make big news, even if it's to dominate the country for a short period of time!" Pei Zi Yun spoke the truth seriously.
Hearing this, Tomoshi Ohka couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He thought to himself, 'Dominate the country for a short period of time?'
This was actually a hot topic in Japan. Hence, Tomoshi Ohka nodded and said, "Hey, so that's how it is. I understand."
As he walked down the mountain, Pei Zi Yun noticed that Three Thousand Sakako's car was still parked by the side of the road. He could vaguely see that there was someone in the car. He guessed that it was Three Thousand Sakako.
However, he didn't see any other cars. They must have gone back.
Tomoshi Ohka stopped in his tracks and bowed to Pei Zi Yun. "Yamada-kun, we're already on the way. Let's split up for now. I'll go that way. Someone will come and pick me up!"
Pei Zi Yun nodded and bowed. "Have a safe journey, Okoshi-kun!"
With that said, he walked straight to Three Thousand Sakako's car and knocked on the window.
Hearing the 'tong tong' sound, Three Thousand Sakako was shocked. She looked up and saw Pei Zi Yun outside the car.
The moment she saw Pei Zi Yun, she was delighted. She opened the car door and shouted, "Yamada-kun! I didn't expect you to come back so quickly. You're really amazing! "
"In the past, it would take two or three days to see the results."
Three Thousand Sakako opened the car door and let him in. Then, she served him sushi.
Sushi was supposed to be cold food. For some reason, Japanese people liked cold food. They weren't used to eating hot food. She lowered her head and said, "Yamada-kun, you must be hungry. Please have some."
"Where are you going? Do you want to rest in Hakone, or …? "
"Let's go back. This place is only an hour's drive from Tokyo. We can go straight back." Pei Zi Yun took the sushi and looked at it. "Bonito sushi?"
"Hey, I know Yamada-kun likes it." This kind of sushi was made by patting the meat of the bonito and roasting it until the skin was brown. However, it was not roasted through. Then, the meat was drizzled with sauce. The meat was a translucent purple-red. Although sushi could be eaten in one bite, the cheapest one in this bag cost 450 yen, and the expensive one cost 850 yen. There was also the highest grade purple sashimi, which cost 2,000 yen.
This was a matter of course. If he went to Ginza to buy sushi, even if he didn't order a geisha to accompany him, it would cost about 30,000 to 50,000 yen.
Pei Zi Yun took a big gulp and finished one of them, revealing an expression of disgust. He then took another gulp and finished another one. This was the downside of Japanese food, the portions were too small.
"It tastes good …" After a few bites, Pei Zi Yun sighed. "I like the fish inside!"
"I'm more interested in sashimi. It's a pity you don't like it very much." Three Thousand Sakako drove the car and drove Pei Zi Yun to the city of Tokyo. She continued, "Yamada-kun, congratulations! You've become famous in one battle this time! "
Hearing this, Pei Zi Yun, who was sitting in the back of the car, killed another one. He said, "It's not a big deal to become famous. I just hope there won't be any trouble in the future."
At this moment, there was a beeping sound. Pei Zi Yun felt full. He took out his phone from his pocket and found a text message. He unlocked it and looked at it. This text message was to inform him that the reward for the Baraki Reward had been transferred to his account. The reward for the Baraki Reward was not much, only 3 million yen.
Pei Zi Yun looked at the text message and asked Three Thousand Sakako, "Now that I've obtained the Baraki Reward, do you think it's possible to obtain the Ōka Reward or even the Ogawa Reward?"
When Three Thousand Sakako, who was driving, heard this, she paid attention to the situation on the road. She thought for a while and said, "Yamada-kun, the three major rewards are not just about the quality of the book!"
"Behind the three major rewards, there are more social factors. I'm very sorry that although our Ogawa Shrine can help you with the Baraki Reward, it's difficult for us to do anything else."
"Moreover, objectively speaking, your reputation and social influence are still far from the two awards," said Three Thousand Sakako apologetically.
The three major rewards were the Baraki Reward, the Ōka Reward, and the Ogawa Reward. They had a very important position in Japanese literature. Japanese society attached great importance to these awards, especially the latter two.
After all, the Baraki Reward focused on newcomers who had just made their mark, while the Ōka Reward and the Ogawa Reward focused on the truly famous writers and some top writers. Their works, to a certain extent, had the power to influence society. Therefore, the selection of the latter two awards was very strict.
Even the Japanese government was very concerned. Therefore, it did not mean that it could not influence the selection, but it undoubtedly required a lot of power and was very difficult.
Pei Zi Yun was not an unreasonable person. He had only been in the industry for a year and had already obtained the Baraki Reward. It was very rare, not to mention the Ōka Reward and the Ogawa Reward.
However, Pei Zi Yun was confident in his superb works. Even if he could not get the Ogawa Reward, he could still fight for the Ōka Reward. At that moment, he was thinking if he should speed up the publication.
This would cause him to lose some money, but what he wanted was never money!
