Bizarre Honkai, a Wife-Chasing Crematorium

Li Mo simply gave up control of his body and let the villagers take him to the altar.

Cold chains imprisoned his four limbs, and dry firewood was piled around him. All it needed was a little spark to start a wave of fire, engulfing Li Mo, who was bound to the cross.

He could easily break free. With just a little effort, these chains would be like fragile glass, shattering to the ground.

But Li Mo didn't do that. He was waiting, waiting for the tip of the iceberg of truth to come to him.

Risk and reward always go hand in hand, just like when a person's consciousness is being replaced by a ghost's consciousness, both sides can see each other's memories.

This time he died, would he be able to see the memories of his counterpart in this world?

Would the notebook's prophecy be confirmed again?

It was impossible to make a final conclusion, but the previous prophecies had been fulfilled.

[Chains bind my four limbs, and firewood is piled up beside me.]

Next was: [A flame ignites the firewood, and a fierce fire burns my torso, and thick smoke assaults my lungs.]

[Below the altar are countless indifferent and expectant gazes.]

[And that faint, insignificant cry.]

[The Grief Seed above my head sheds tears, but it cannot extinguish the flames on the altar, cannot extinguish desire and sorrow.]

[I can't smile, but I am very happy.]

[I see Crimson-Dyed Sakura walking towards me.]

[I see Crimson-Dyed Sakura waving Yae Sakura.]

[I see my headless body.]

[I see myself, contaminated, dying bit by bit.]

Li Mo raised his head. As expected, there was a precarious cocoon in the sky. Countless spider webs re-spread, connecting to the spines of the villagers.

Everyone here was like a string puppet, being manipulated by the rules of the Grief Seed.

It started to rain, and it was foggy.

A faint black mist spread out, enveloping the entire village.

Yae Sakura walked over quickly. Sakura Blizzard was already unsheathed, and her cyan pupils had a heavy blood-red color.

She walked in front of Li Mo, knelt on one knee, and stretched out her other hand to gently touch Li Mo's cheek.

"Death is an extremely heavy word, whether for the dying or for those who are still alive."

"People are afraid of death, afraid of the disappearance of life, especially when a close person is slowly leaving before their eyes, until they suddenly realize that they have lost the ability to communicate with them. They can only stare at the things left behind by the deceased, reminiscing about the time they spent together..."

"But... Mo-kun, a true death is the most sincere gift for you."

After speaking, without waiting for Li Mo to ask, Yae Sakura retreated to the other side of the altar.

The villagers threw the tinder at the firewood, and the scorching flames spread all over his body like maggots on a bone. Poisonous smoke rushed into his nasal cavity.

This level of pain still couldn't kill Li Mo. Yae Sakura closed her eyes, came to Li Mo with ease, and drew Sakura Blizzard for the second time.

With one slash, the head fell to the ground with a thud.

Li Mo's consciousness did not fall silent. His mind was still active. He could clearly see his own headless body.

There was no blood spurting out, because his body was like a dead tree.

But this brief "normalcy" only lasted for less than two seconds. A strong sense of dizziness began to crowd his mind.

The Misfortune Ghost did not scream, which meant that this was not a clash of consciousness rules, but the demise of his own will.

But... how could he just die in his current state? Even if his whole body was blasted into mud, it could be reshaped, let alone a severed head?

Was it the ability of the cursed blade Crimson-Dyed Sakura? Or the spiritual blade Sakura Blizzard?

The atmosphere at the scene was very strange. There was no sound from below the stage.

All the villagers did not turn into ghosts, but they were no different from corpses.

Their faces were pale, and large, ugly livor mortis appeared on their skin. A strong stench emanated from around the altar.

Everyone stared blankly at the top of the altar, motionless, and even their breathing could not be heard.

Rin in the Grief Seed closed her eyes, and the tears that flowed could not extinguish the flames.

Yae Sakura slowly walked forward and held Li Mo's head tightly in her chest.

"Mo-kun, you are too tired. Have a good rest..."

"And then, please, no matter what the cost, you must kill Kallen."

Previous Civilization.

The old community was cool and damp.

In the residence, a bright incandescent lamp hung from the ceiling, and the human figures it cast were so precarious that they seemed about to die in the next second.

Five human figures sat facing each other.

The sound of flipping pages was quite crisp, and a sound similar to the Shenzhou language came out.

A middle-aged woman excitedly pulled her husband's arm, pointing at the big villa on the house sale form on the table.

Two thousand square meters, a four-story design, a swimming pool, a garden, a gym, and various facilities that ordinary families would not buy all at once. Now they were all included in this big villa for sale at an extremely low price.

"I want to buy this! This is good!"

The woman's voice was as loud as thunder, and her hair was messy like a chicken's nest.

The man nodded repeatedly. He was also very satisfied with the picture of the villa in the form.

He said to the agent in front of him, "This is it. We don't need to look at the others. There is no other house with such a high cost-performance ratio."

"But about the price, we can pay in full. Why don't you give me a discount... Look, this house is listed for 3.8 million. If you give us a 10% discount, that would be 3.42 million. Let's just round it up to 3 million, what do you think?"

The agent had a wry smile on his face. His professional ethics made him maintain a good attitude towards this couple.

After all, the customer was God. Although the conversation was a bit nauseating, as long as the deal was made, he could endure it.

But he still couldn't make a losing deal. If the deal was a loss, he would rather offend the customer than ruin a good deal. After all, if you don't buy it, there are plenty of people who will!

"Sir, the price is not calculated like that. A 3.8 million house for 3 million... that sounds too..."

The agent picked up the introduction form and was instantly dumbfounded.

He looked up and confirmed again, "Are you sure you want to buy this house? 3 million is not impossible, but I have to say the ugly truth first. The previous owners of this house all died inexplicably at home within three months."

"It's not easy to make money. It's not worth it to lose your life."

The agent kindly reminded him.

Three million Far East coins was not a lot, nor was it a little. An ordinary family could still afford it after saving for a few decades.

As for this strange villa, the agent originally did not believe in these mysterious things, until he personally saw the tragic deaths of more than three customers who had bought this villa. Only then did he have to believe that some things really existed.

Although there was currently no substantive evidence to prove that there was a ghost inside.

Hearing this, the woman burst into laughter, mocking the agent with a sharp voice, "What era is it? You still believe in the things in horror movies?"

The man coughed slightly, reminded his wife, and then looked at the agent seriously, "We have suffered a great loss. We are helping you get rid of such a haunted house. Shouldn't you give us some more discounts on the price?"

"Sigh..." the agent sighed heavily.

The other party clearly did not take his reminder seriously, and instead intensified their efforts to extract more profits from him.

The agent was not too angry. He shifted his gaze to the little girls trembling and holding hands in the corner.

The moment the couple had stepped into the company's gate, big data had already collected all their data.

Including but not limited to job positions, welfare benefits, annual income, and social relations.

This couple was originally just struggling in the bottom class of survival, making a living by setting up stalls.

The woman attracted customers with a loud voice, and the man used some inferior materials to make street snacks and sell them to pedestrians and students. Their income was not high.

And after a conversation, their character was indeed not very good.

They had no children, and their social relations were sparse. The couple also often quarreled over daily necessities.

According to the normal trajectory, the two of them would most likely spend their miserable lives in this poverty-stricken state, like most Far East people.

All the changes came from that car accident.

Thinking of this, the agent looked sadly at the two elementary school-aged girls in the corner: Sakura and Rin.

The parents of these two children had died in that bus accident.

Because Sakura and Rin's parents had bought a lot of expensive insurance before their death, the insurance company had paid a large sum.

Of course, for a demanding insurance company to pay compensation, this accident must have been something they themselves had not expected.

No one wanted to leave their children alone in the world, and Sakura and Rin's parents had no motive for suicide.

As one of the few relatives of Sakura and Rin's parents, this couple, on the condition that they were infertile, promised to treat them as their own and successfully adopted the Sakura and Rin sisters, and got the insurance money from them.

As for what happened later... it was unknown. After all, it was their own family matter.

But from the fearful reactions of these two children, plus the conversation and values of this couple, I'm afraid Sakura and Rin did not have a good life at home.

"Alright, alright. The maximum discount I can apply for here is 60,000. I'll give it to you for 2.94 million. This is already the lowest price," the agent spread his hands and took away the introduction form. "If there are no problems, then let's follow the procedure."

The woman seemed to think that she had not taken enough advantage of the situation. She quickly stood in the way of the agent leaving and said relentlessly, "Let's make it 2.9 million! Since it's already 60,000 cheaper, 2.94 million sounds so unlucky."

The agent shook his head, "No, the minimum is 2.94 million. I am already talking to you about the price with sincerity. You won't find a lower price than this on the market. If you still want to bargain, then I can only go to the next customer."

The agent said without allowing any refusal, his attitude very firm.

He knew very well that blindly giving in would only make this kind of person bargain even more.

Seeing this, the woman remained silent. It would be pointless to continue talking.

Anyway, they had already saved 60,000.

When she left, the woman was still cursing, "How disgusting! Fortunately, I bargained with him. Otherwise, I would have been scammed of 60,000 Far East coins!"

The man quite agreed, "Indeed, the written price is 3.8 million, and we almost cut off nearly a third. It's like we earned nearly a million in just a short while!"

As they spoke, the two of them walked faster and faster, even jumping up with joy and excitement, completely forgetting about the young Sakura and Rin sisters behind them.

Fortunately, Sakura and Rin were sensible early and followed closely.

Soon, the middle-aged couple with the keys arrived at the big villa at the address.

Luxurious, magnificent, and grand.

The two of them were dumbfounded, their faces full of shock.

According to the regulations, they needed to inspect it first. If there were no problems within three days, they would go to confirm again.

On the contrary, if they changed their minds within these three days, they could go back on their word, but they just couldn't take back the deposit.

"It's so beautiful! I'll take a picture and post it on my Moments first! You hold the bag!" the woman threw the bag to the man.

"I want to take a picture too. In a while, I'll get a new car. How can I have a house without a car? Now, we are also a member of the rich area!" the man threw the bag to Sakura and Rin behind him, turned around and took a picture of himself and the villa on his phone, and added a caption—from today on, I will start to enjoy the high society.

The couple began to be busy on their phones.

On the contrary, Sakura and Rin stood behind them at a loss.

What burst out from the eyes of their stepfather and stepmother in front of them... was definitely not the light of love, but only greed for material wealth.

The young Sakura didn't know, she just felt disgusted.

The precocious Rin could understand. She was much more mature than her sister Sakura in terms of mental age, but she still felt disgusted from the bottom of her heart.

The luxurious villa and the sloppily dressed couple.

The passers-by clicked their tongues, and couldn't help but think where the nouveau riche came from.

The comparison was too stark, like a dilapidated hut under a high-rise building, too out of place.

On the contrary, the two girls behind them were surprisingly exquisite in appearance. Did these four people really have a blood relationship?

The passers-by didn't know, but they didn't want to meddle.

This was a rich area, and there were plenty of rich people.

Money was almost omnipotent for ordinary people, but in their world, some things could reflect their identity and status more than money.

Just having money was not enough to gain a say in the high society.

Especially sudden small money.

Rumble...

Rumble...

Sakura and Rin's stomachs growled at the same time. The couple was too focused on buying the house and had completely forgotten that they hadn't eaten lunch yet.

Now the sun was about to set. Children were not as tolerant of hunger as adults. Plus, after running around, Sakura and Rin had long since run out of energy. They could only squat on the ground, praying that their stepfather and stepmother would finish quickly and prepare food.

However, it seemed that this was too early. Their stepfather and stepmother would not care about her and her sister's feelings at all...

Suddenly, a fragrance wafted over. Sakura quickly raised her head.

"How about I sell it to you for three yuan? I see you're starving. Don't worry, I didn't touch it," Li Mo stretched the hot dog in front of Sakura.

Sakura swallowed her saliva. The hot dog in front of her was more tempting than anything else to her who had been hungry for a day.

But...

Sakura swallowed her saliva and stammered, "I, I don't have any money..."

Hearing this, Li Mo immediately took back the hot dog.

Sakura looked down in disappointment.

Then Li Mo said again, "I don't do business at a loss. How about this? I see you're wearing the uniform of Chiba Primary School. It just so happens that I also study there. You help me with my homework for two days, and this is yours."

Sakura was stunned for a moment and looked down at her uniform.

That's right... she had forgotten to change. Her stepfather and stepmother would never buy them new clothes.

"I... I want two," Sakura said shyly, pointing to Rin beside her.

"Alright, then it's a week's homework. But I only have one here. Wait a moment," Li Mo handed the hot dog in his hand to Sakura, then got up and shouted at the purple-haired adult woman walking in front:

"Aunt Beichen! Help me buy another hot dog!"

Raiden Mei: "..."

Li Mo's shout attracted the attention of the surrounding crowd.

After all, in a modern city, it was still a minority to walk on the street in ancient-style clothing.

And the woman called "Aunt Beichen" had many precious accessories on her body, which perfectly decorated her already stunning appearance.

Although she was called "aunt," from her appearance, she was only about twenty years old, at the prime of a woman's youth.

There was a hint of strange purple-red at the bottom of her eyes. Her long eyelashes fluttered, like a swaying moonlight quietly falling. Her skin, which could shame frost and snow, was tinged with a faint blush, as if the clear sky had reversed time, rendered by the red halo of dusk, and covered with a thin layer of vermilion gauze.

Her curvaceous body, her waist slender enough to be held in one hand, and her chest like a surging river.

Her long hair reached her waist, elegant and light. With a gentle sway, it emitted a faint floral fragrance. She walked slowly in the mortal world, untouched by dust.

The busy couple also noticed Beichen.

Just a glance, and a different kind of emotion arose in their hearts. They looked at Beichen's simple yet charming dress, and then looked at their own monotonous and simple clothes, and their mentality was instantly out of balance.

We all live in the rich area. Why is she dressed so ostentatiously?

"Honey, let's go buy clothes first. Clothes make the man, a saddle makes the horse. I will definitely look good in beautiful clothes!"

"Mmm, okay."

The man agreed perfunctorily, but his gaze did not move from Beichen for a second.

Compared to his wife beside him, the Beichen in front of him was simply unbelievably elegant.

It was just that the two-meter-long sword on her waist felt very out of place.

"Hehe..."

Beichen sneered, turned around, and walked straight to Li Mo's side.

Then she bent down and blew hot air into Li Mo's ear, saying in a voice that only the two of them could hear:

"I hope when we get home later, you can still be so tough..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Li Mo immediately gave in, his tone becoming much more obedient, "Ha... haha... Sister Beichen, I was just kidding with you. Sister is extremely beautiful!"

Beichen snorted and didn't argue with Li Mo. She turned around and walked towards the small stall not far away.

She would not refuse any of Li Mo's requests.

Any...

After a while, Beichen bought two hot dogs and handed them both to Li Mo.

"Huh, Sister Beichen, didn't I just want one?" Li Mo asked.

"Just take it. Don't force me to do you in the street," Beichen said coldly.

This time Li Mo stood up straight. He handed one to Sakura and held the other in his own hand.

Private Second Class! Li Mo, fall out!

"Thank you..." Sakura handed a hot dog to Rin and pulled Rin in front of Li Mo.

Rin bowed and repeated, "Thank you. My name is Rin, and this is my sister Sakura. We are both in class 5-3."

At this time, the man suddenly appeared in front of Li Mo and Beichen, stretched out his hand and introduced himself, "Hello, I am the owner of this villa. Do you also live in the rich area?"

Beichen's gaze was cold and her face was expressionless, without any response.
