"Is that Gu Xingjun?"
The old Chiyo pointed to the innermost relief, "I'm not blind."
"That's right,"
Rimi, who was still in good health due to long-term investigator training, said, "It's Gu Xingjun, that's right."
"Ah~"
Chiyo subconsciously grabbed Satomi's hand, "What should we do now?"
Before Satomi could answer, Makoto Karasawa had already walked deeper into the corridor.
She tried her best, but she still walked slowly.
She held the crutch in her hand and hit the ground hard, making a thumping sound. She wanted to rush to the relief in an instant.
Chiyo wanted to reach out and hold her, but Satomi grabbed Chiyo's hand and said, "Let's go together."
Chiyo: "But..."
Satomi: "At our age, what is there to be afraid of? At worst, we can meet Red Shirt and Crow-sama."
Chiyo: "What you said is that I also want to see Ryuichi."
They confirmed each other's eyes, caught up with Karasawa Makoto, and walked side by side on both sides of her.
They ignored the rarely seen scenery on both sides, ignored the weird reliefs and murals——
Half are white withered bones and half are young and beautiful women;
A woman holding an oil-paper umbrella and knocking on the door on a rainy day, followed by a dense crowd of ghosts;
A woman wearing a kimono walking alone in the heavy snow, stepping on corpses;
A girl holding a little boy walking under the street lamp;
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, surrounded by women with bloodshot backs;
A woman with eight legs on her back, a huge and round belly, and she is surrounded by a huge spider web;
A woman with nine tails, wearing a fox mask, and surrounded by thousands of troops.
Makoto Karasawa has been curious about the things in the cellar all his life, but he has never opened the lock because of the vow he made to his mother never to enter the cellar.
But at this moment, she had forgotten her oath and just wanted to find out the secret behind Gu Xing's appearance here.
Finally, she stopped. The relief in front of her suddenly became very long, very long, and was divided into many independent reliefs in an instant. Each one was carefully carved and lifelike, as if telling a story.
The reliefs connected together are the stories connected together...
Karasawa Makoto stood in front of the first relief and looked down carefully.
What came into view was Gu Xing, wearing a gray coat and a round hat. In the gray fog, he was walking alone, taking firm steps towards the unknown and full of dangers.
Behind the gray fog, a woman with a beautiful face could be vaguely seen, looming in the hazy shadow.
She looked at Gu Xing like a wild animal looking at its prey.
Makoto Karasawa walked to the next relief. The woman in the gray mist transformed into a beautiful girl to seduce Gu Xing, but Gu Xing saw through it easily. The woman avoided his weird rules of counterattack and left calmly.
In the next scene, the woman transforms into a nationally renowned star. She invites Gu Xing to star in her new movie... and then transforms into a pitiful widow, a girl with a miserable life experience who is forced by her creditors...
Karasawa Makoto looked down one by one.
Gu Xingjun and the woman in the gray mist were entangled endlessly, fighting with each other and attacking each other.
Gu Xing can sometimes see through her schemes, but he often fails. The woman humiliated him, tortured him, trapped him, threatened him, but never actually tried to kill him.
Decades later, his body and soul were simultaneously trapped in this long battle, as if he had lost the meaning of his existence.
In other words, he only has the only meaning of existence left, and that is to defeat her.
Occasionally one day, his thoughts jumped out of this endless battle, but he was surprised to find that he actually fell in love with her.
At this point in the story, Karasawa Makoto also came to the last relief——
What is engraved on the relief is the true appearance of the woman in the gray mist. At this time, she is lovingly embracing Gu Xing. She had one hand behind her back, holding a square box in her hand, and a trace of black mist slowly floated out from the square box.
Karasawa Makoto suppressed the emotions that were about to get out of control, and looked at the woman's face with trembling eyes——
Half of the woman's face is covered with dense red eyes, and the other half is lively and beautiful. That is exactly the face of the Holy Son when he was young.
"No!"
Karasawa Makoto let out a cry of despair.
