"Woo … Woo … Woo …!!!"
The roar of the engine broke the silence of the abandoned house. Dazzling white lights tore through the darkness. The steel chariot broke through the broken walls of the house without hesitation and rushed forward.
Dusk sat on the motorcycle, holding a large sword in his right hand. He looked like a motorcycle gang that had just robbed a house and committed all sorts of crimes. It was as if he was a gang of hooligans hired by the local demolition office to completely raze the house in front of him to the ground.
And no one could stop her.
This feeling was … too good!
Grizzly looked at the big house in front of her. She raised Frostmourne and swung it down.
"Boom!!"
The wind from the sword whistled past, and the house that had long been weather-beaten collapsed.
Any demolition work would encounter resistance, and Hisashi was no exception. As the house collapsed, several wraiths screamed and emerged from the ruins. They angrily bared their fangs and brandished their claws at the culprit who destroyed their home. Then, they disappeared in the cold wind of Frostmourne.
Therefore, no matter how determined the holdouts were, they were powerless in front of a bulldozer.
After clearing away the wraiths of the holdouts who tried to stop her from demolishing the Gates of the Underworld, Grizzly got off the motorcycle and answered the phone.
"Hey, Crimson, have you found the specific location of the Gates of the Underworld?"
"Yes, Sister Grizzly. The first step is to go to the Palace of Carving from the first floor. Then, you need to find four Tattoo Woods to open the sealed door of the Palace of Carving … The first Tattoo Wood is located at …"
"Boom!!!"
Grizzly clenched her fist and punched out. The sealed door in front of her was instantly smashed away. It hit the wall and turned into a pile of rubble.
"It's open, and then?"
"… Please go straight to the end of the cave. Go down the stairs next to the cave and you'll reach it."
See, this is the simple, direct and convenient way.
Grizzly charged forward according to Crimson's instructions and soon arrived at the location of the Gates of the Underworld. Unlike the Icehouse Residence and the Eishin Village, Hisakure's Yellow Springs wasn't an underground tunnel. Instead, it was a 90-degree cave with a small wooden cage hanging in the middle of the cave. On the walls of the cave was a spiral staircase that led downwards. Torii were scattered all over the cave, making it seem rather strange.
Yu jumped down and landed at the bottom of the cave. She followed the path in front of her and came to a half-closed stone door.
Walking through the stone door, it was pitch-black inside. He couldn't even see his fingers in front of him. However, this was nothing to Mi. She could clearly see that in the room behind the stone door, there were women covered in tattoos lying everywhere. Their limbs were nailed to the ground, walls, and ceiling by stone awls.
Clearly, this was how the ancient aristocratic families sealed the Gate of the Yellow Springs through sacrifice after sacrifice.
However, it was a pity that this was the end of it.
While Yu was carefully looking at the room in front of her, the heavy stone door behind her suddenly closed with a bang. Then, a faint green light flashed, and a woman covered in tattoos appeared in front of Yu. She stared at the black-haired girl in front of her with eyes full of pain and resentment. Resentment and undead spirits entangled the woman and spread to the surroundings.
"Thank you for your hard work, Miss."
Yu silently drew out Frostmourne and raised it high.
"Although I don't know what you've been through … Hmm, everything you've been through ends here. Your mission is over. Go in peace …."
After saying that, Yu clenched Frostmourne and swung it forward.
"Whoosh —!!!"
The pitch-black greatsword swung down abruptly, and a cold wind suddenly rose from the ground, whistling forward. At the same time, as the cold wind blew, the entire hall began to tremble. The souls that gathered on the tattooed woman's body were torn from her body like spider silk by the raging storm, spinning and disappearing into the Gates of Hell at the end of the hall. Only the tattooed woman continued to scream and wave her hands vigorously, trying to resist the invasion of Frostmourne.
While she was struggling, a blue light spot flew along the raging cold wind to the tattooed woman's side and turned into a man in a kimono. The moment she saw the man, the tattooed woman stopped struggling. She stretched out her hands and hugged the man in the kimono tightly. Then, the two of them were blown to the end of the Yellow Springs and disappeared into the depths of the Gate of the Yellow Springs.
When Yu put down Frostmourne, the corpses of the tattooed women who were originally fixed in this hall had disappeared. Their souls no longer had to continue to be protected and tortured. Instead, they could peacefully go to the other side of the Yellow Springs and fall into eternal sleep.
"Now, only the last one is left!"
After making sure that the evil spirits of the ancient aristocratic families had been absorbed and expelled, Yu clenched Frostmourne again and swung it at the Gate of the Yellow Springs in front of her.
For a moment, the earth shook.
The valley where the ancient aristocratic families were located began to tremble violently as if an earthquake had broken out. The already dilapidated mansion completely collapsed in the earthquake. Then, a big hole appeared without warning and swallowed the collapsed house. Then, the torrential mudslide rushed down from the mountain, completely filling up everything here.
When the tremors stopped, everything in the vicinity, including the ancient aristocratic families, had been completely swallowed up.
When Yu yawned and returned home, it was already early in the morning. The others had already woken up. Seeing Yu's return, they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Yu, you're back. Are you alright?"
"What could be wrong with me? It's so simple …. "
Facing Crimson's question, Yu smiled and waved her hand. Then, she looked at Hei Zeren. Hei Zeren's eyes were bloodshot and her face was filled with sorrow as if she had cried her heart out.
"What happened to her?"
"… We … met Miss Hei Zeren's fiancé at the end of the Gate of the Yellow Springs …."
Hearing Yu's question, Crimson replied in a low voice.
"Miss Hei Zeren wanted to go to the other side of the Yellow Springs with him, but he stopped her and even absorbed the curse on her."
"Oh … .that's true."
Yu glanced at Hei Zeren and found that the tattoo aura on her body had indeed disappeared.
But ….
"What happened to you?"
Seeing Crimson gnashing her teeth, Yu asked doubtfully. Crimson hesitated for a moment before answering in a low voice.
"I … saw my brother."
"… Huh?"
"He's still dead set on that woman! He was the one who abandoned me for her, but he still dares to talk about her in front of me ….!!! "
Speaking of this, Crimson was filled with anger. Of course, she pitied Iemoto's past, but that was different from her snatching her brother away! Go back to the man you love! What's the point of pestering someone else's brother!
Seeing Crimson clenching her fists, gnashing her teeth, and exuding a dark aura, Yu silently wiped away the cold sweat on her forehead. If she remembered correctly, when she sealed the Gate of the Yellow Springs in the Ice House, Hatsune was indeed sealed on the other side of the Yellow Springs with Iemoto Iemoto. Looking at Crimson's expression now …. Were the two of them living a good life on the other side of the Yellow Springs?
"I also met my great-grandmother."
Hidaka Crimson had already completely given up on this brother of hers who had forgotten his sister in the face of love. She had already taken such a huge risk and even entered the Yellow Springs Gate to look for him. In the end, apart from asking about her current situation, he was actually showing off his newlywed life with Hikaru Kiki?
If Crimson didn't still have a bit of rationality left, she would have directly sealed Hatsune with the mobile phone Yu gave her.
"My great-grandmother also asked me to thank you …. Thank you for fulfilling her wish."
Speaking of this, Crimson's expression became somewhat complicated. After all, in terms of seniority, Kurosawa Yachiro was her great-grandmother, but her appearance in the Yellow Springs was about the same age as her …. To be honest, looking at Kurosawa Yachiro's current appearance, Crimson was really embarrassed to call her great-grandmother.
Shaka Kurosawa, on the other hand, seemed to be very interested in the man named Soho Ryōzō who was married to Yachi. She asked Kurosawa Crimson quite a few things about him. As for whether or not there would be any bloodshed in Yellow Springs, that was not something that Kurosawa Crimson could interfere with.
Let the dead take care of the dead.
After that, Kurosawa Reo finally pulled herself together and solemnly thanked Yu.
"Thank you very much, Miss Kasugano. Although I did want to go to the other world with Yu, he said that as long as I'm alive, he will never be forgotten …. So, I will try my best to live on and never let him down."
"The dead are gone, the living have to move on."
Yu smiled and nodded at Kurosawa Reo, who had a serious expression on her face.
"It's good that you can think like this."
No matter what, as long as the result was okay, everything would go smoothly.
After receiving Kurosawa Reo's request, everyone lived a relatively peaceful life. For Fumigosa, the office in Tokyo was naturally not as comfortable as her own home, but she was now Yu's servant, so she had to do whatever he wanted her to do. Therefore, although the office was small and run-down, Fumigosa had no choice but to submit to Yu's "tyrannical power" and obediently stay here to do her work.
"I'm back."
Crimson Daisy pushed open the door of the office to say hello, but to her surprise, the office was empty.
"Sister Yu? Miss Fumigosa? "
Putting down her schoolbag, Crimson looked around in confusion. In her impression, Yu was always sitting behind a desk watching TV or reading a newspaper, while the new Fumigosa was mostly sitting on a chair in a daze. But today, neither of them were here ….
"Clang!"
At that moment, Crimson suddenly heard a collision coming from upstairs. She hurriedly went up the stairs and looked towards the third floor. As she peeked her head out, the door of Fumigosa's room slowly opened, and Yu walked out in a refreshed manner.
When she saw Crimson Daisy, she also smiled and greeted her.
"Yo, Crimson, you're back."
"Yes, I'm back …. Sister Yu, what are you and Miss Fumigosa doing?"
"We …."
Hearing Crimson's question, Yu turned her head meaningfully and glanced at Fumigosa's room, then retracted her gaze.
"We're playing a game."
"Playing a game?"
"Yes, a very interesting game."
While saying that, Yu stretched out her hand and rubbed her fingers together. Crimson tilted her head in confusion, then took out a letter from her pocket.
"Ah, right, Sister Yu, I just found this in my mailbox. It should be a letter of entrustment."
"Letter of entrustment?"
"Yes."
As he spoke, Crimson Daisy passed the letter to him.
"It seems to be from an outpost village."
Then, she replied.
