Wu Yejin frowned slightly as she hid behind the door.
The male voice inside was strangely familiar to her.
Then, she suddenly remembered that this was the man who was with Chihaya Fukayama at the Shiranui Shrine during the afternoon.
'Please save me …'
Although the white creature's tail was grabbed by the man and it seemed to be bickering with him, its voice continued to enter Jin's mind. It was a very strange feeling, just like telepathy.
In the end, Wu Yejin did not dare to rush out. Instead, she tried to ask the voice in her mind.
'What should I do?' 'What?'
She had only asked the question without much expectation, but she didn't expect the voice to really answer her.
'Try to attract his attention, and I'll be able to escape with you!'
Wu Yejin peeked through the door and glanced at the white creature that the man was still playing with like a toy.
It did not seem convincing at all …
However, she only hesitated for a moment before sneaking into the room next to the corridor. She found a heavy metal medical device and threw it out of the room without caring what it was.
Wu Ye was quite lucky. She heard the sound of the device hitting something outside. Judging from the sound, it was probably a flower pot. Since the hospital courtyard was relatively quiet, the sound was very ear-piercing.
As expected, the young man instinctively stood up and looked into the courtyard.
The white creature took this opportunity to escape from the young man's hands and ran to the room where Wu Ye was.
"Hold on to me!" the little creature shouted.
When Wu Ye heard the footsteps outside the door, she, who had no other choice, could only follow the little creature's instructions and wrap her hands tightly around its waist like she was hugging a puppy.
The little creature stood up and raised a magic staff that appeared out of nowhere. It looked like a magic staff from a magical girl anime and shouted, "Boro boro boro mi!"
"Wait, why do I feel like there's something wrong with this spell?"
Although she had never watched Journey to the West, she instinctively complained.
However, in the next instant, a bluish-purple light erupted from the staff, catching Wu Ye off guard. The light was so dazzling that it turned the entire room into a vast expanse of white.
The surrounding environment began to distort as if it had been thrown into a mirror. Then, it began to move like a television image.
"Tsk, did he escape? You're a genius …" The man's voice became softer and softer. "And that girl just now, could she be …"
At this moment, Wu Yejin suddenly realized that she and the white creature were no longer in the hospital. Instead, they were in a tunnel that was constantly changing.
All kinds of strange colors turned into streams of light, leaving strange marks on the surrounding walls, but they all disappeared in the end.
Even though Wu Ye couldn't feel any movement in the air, he could sense that he and the white creature were moving forward quickly.
After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding colors disappeared, returning to darkness.
Soon after, Wu Ye discovered that the feeling of moving forward had disappeared. In its place was a sense of weightlessness, or rather, a sense of falling.
When the wind blew past her ears, she finally realized that she was indeed falling.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"
Because it was too sudden, the girl didn't even have time to scream. She could only hug the white creature tightly and let out a weak cry.
In the end, she and the white creature fell into the water with a splash.
Fortunately, Wu Ye knew how to swim. When she went to the swimming pool in the past, she tried diving out of curiosity. Therefore, after a brief moment of panic, she immediately poked her head out of the water and desperately breathed in the fresh air.
It was only then that she had the time to observe her current environment.
The sky had turned from night to day. From the angle of the sun, it was probably close to noon.
She was now in a freshwater river that wasn't too big. Fortunately, the river was deep enough that she was fine after falling from such a high place.
"Oh no, that animal …" When she noticed that her hands were empty, Wu Ye immediately panicked.
However, she soon heard the man's voice beside her.
"Oh, thanks to you, I was able to escape from that guy. Anyway, thank you in advance."
Wu Yejin turned her head in the direction of the voice and saw that the white creature was floating beside her. Although it tried its best to look elegant, its dog-paddling movements completely wasted its efforts.
"So, can you explain the ins and outs of the whole thing now?"
The Five-leaf Pansy swam to the shore and squeezed its clothes dry while asking the white creature that was shaking its fur and throwing water jets at it.
"Of course, please allow me to start from the beginning … Ah, by the way, little girl, how much do you know about Japanese mythology?"
The white creature didn't remember to start the story. Instead, it asked a question.
"Ordinary people should know about it, right? I might as well have read the 'Records of Ancient Events' once. "
Because she didn't know why the white creature asked this question, Wu Yejin didn't say too much.
"That's much more convenient … 'Kojiji' should have a story about Susanoo, oh, Susanoo, right?"
"Well, I remember that he made a bet with Amaterasu Omikami and then went to Takamagahara. As a result, because he caused trouble there, not only did he annoy Amaterasu Omikami, but he was also chased out of Takamagahara. After that, he killed Yamata no Orochi and settled in the Cloud Nation."
Wu Yejin briefly explained what she remembered.
"Oh, isn't that very clear … But myths and legends revised by ordinary people will always have some errors and omissions. In fact, Susanoo was killed in Takamagahara, and the people who went to the mortal world to kill Yamata no Orochi were just others who borrowed his name. "
The white creature calmly told the truth behind the myth.
"Oh … No wonder Susanoo in the story felt like a completely different person when he was in Takamagahara and when he came to the mortal world."
Wu Yejin was a little surprised and suddenly understood.
After all, in the story, Susanoo, who went to Takamagahara, not only destroyed the fields and ditches of Takamagahara, but he even went to the roof of the Shrine to take a dump when Amaterasu tasted new grains. Finally, he threw the zebra's horse skin into the weaving room, causing the death of a weaving girl. He was a complete evil embryo. But after he was chased out of the mortal world, he changed into a heroic man who killed Yamata no Orochi for the sake of the people.
"By the way, the person who killed Susanoo and used his name to kill Yamata no Orochi was the man you saw in the hospital just now."
Then, the white creature calmly told an even more shocking fact.
