“They went inside an illusion, the world that the demon spirit created with her memory.

“It’s a Vessel Demon Spirit.
Some high-level vessels have a unique space inside them.
The Vessel Demon Spirits can create an illusion inside the space as they wished.
The illusion is Xixiong City a few years ago.
Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu are in there looking for the demon spirit, which is the girl Miyata…” Jiang Shaoxu tried to explain the situation to Li Kaifeng in a single speech.

Li Kaifeng had a blank face after hearing the explanation.

Jiang Shaoxu rolled her eyes.

Jiang Yu chuckled too.
It was difficult to understand the situation in a short amount of time.

Inside the illusion…

Even though Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu did not understand Japanese, it was obvious that the entire city was discussing the incident.
Everyone had already heard the details of the whole process.

“He must be very sad?” said Ai Jiangtu, glancing at Nara Orisora.

Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu had lost the trail.
They could only follow the sad Nara Orisora secretly.

Nara Orisora left the temple.
He headed to a mountain to the north of Xixiong City.

Up on the mountain, Nara Orisora was holding the carving knife left by Miyata.
He was carving crazily on every rock, trying to vent his anger.

His hand was bleeding, too.
The blood dropped onto the rocks.
Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu were grieved by the sight.

It was obvious that Miyata was in love with the monk, and the monk was in love with her,too.
However, they did not cross the line.
Their pure relationship only consisted of delivering herbs and healing people.
They did not mess around with one another like the others had described.

Now that Miyata was dead, Nara Orisora could only hurt himself to vent his sorrow and anger, to mourn for the deceased girl on this deserted mountain.

“Mo Fan, I think we’re running out of time,” Ai Jiangtu looked into the distance and saw Xixiong City turning blurry.
The space within his vision was distorted.

“But we haven’t found the demon spirit!” Mo Fan was unwilling to give up.

He felt sorry for Miyata, yet it did not mean she could turn into a demon spirit and hurt other people.

“We can come back again, but it’s too much of a burden if we stay any longer.
Let’s head outside and discuss things with the others, Mu Ningxue and Zhao Manyan will be fine for now,” said Ai Jiangtu.

“Alright.” Mo Fan knew it was useless to search aimlessly.
The Miyata that died was only an illusion.
It was not Miyata herself.
Perhaps the actual demon spirit was still roaming in the outside world.

Back in the run-down temple, Mo Fan and Ai Jiangtu opened their eyes.

Even without smelling Jiang Shaoxu’s scent, they could easily tell they had returned to the real world.

“How was it?” asked Jiang Shaoxu.

“It feels like we’ve just watched a sad movie,” Mo Fan calmly replied.
Ai Jiangtu nodded silently.

Mo Fan saw Li Kaifeng and immediately asked excitedly, “By the way, did you find the young monk, Nara Orisora?”

“Don’t mention it, I was almost scolded by those monks,” said Li Kaifeng.

“What? Why would they scold you?” asked Mo Fan in confusion.

“Nara Orisora died a few years ago,” said Li Kaifeng.

Mo Fan’s eyes widened, “Bullshit, I even talked to him at the temple yesterday.
He told me not to sit on the stone turtles, said that I’ll be punished by the ocean.”

“That’s what the monks told me, I have no reason to lie to you,” said Li Kaifeng.

Mo Fan was just about to respond when Nanyu interrupted quickly, “Mo Fan, the young monk you mentioned, did anyone else other than you see him?”

Mo Fan immediately shivered when he heard Nanyu’s question.
It even gave him goosebumps!
