Even the Joyous Zen lineage can’t achieve that; their practices at most involve collecting yin to complement yang, which is a side path, harmful to others and self-serving, ultimately meeting divine retribution.”

What is this Joyous Zen nonsense?

Aren’t you taking this too seriously?

This is clearly just a gimmick concocted by the Nagato House…

Mo Xiaofei didn’t want to discuss such a sensitive topic too much with a girl, especially in such an environment, so he shook his head and said: “Anyway, because of this underground palace’s existence, the Nagato House has secretly amassed quite a lot of wealth.” “Did the Nagato House start this underground palace right after settling in Zaodao Village?” “No, it probably started with the current Lord Nagato’s generation…

The village’s curse began only seven or eight years ago.”

Zi Xing mulled over it: “By the way, Lord Mo, you mentioned there’s something else being kept here?”

She wouldn’t ignore Mo Xiaofei’s earlier mention of ‘feed’—the cells on the other side of the passage. “I don’t know what it is,” Mo Xiaofei said with a hint of fear: “Every time I approach it, I lose consciousness, no matter how many attempts…

I only feel immense pain, like my body being torn apart by something.

I think I might have died.”

Died, and then reincarnated back to the initial time.

With an inexplicable look of fear, Mo Xiaofei gazed at Zi Xing and asked: “Do… you want to take a look?” “No, I want to meet the crazy woman Lord Mo mentioned instead,” Zi Xing looked at Mo Xiaofei and said: “According to the three conditions for triggering a reset that Lord Mo explained, it seems this woman is more crucial.

Besides, if even Lord Mo can’t resist that strange place and loses consciousness, then I won’t fare much better.

Rather than that, I’d choose the ‘safer’ option of meeting the mad woman.”

Exceeding a certain time causes a reset, dying causes a reset…

But encountering the mad woman in the dungeon also resets time—over the past year, this is the direction Mo Xiaofei has been thinking, which is why he’s infiltrated here so many times. “Well then, there’s no time like the present.” “No time like the present.”

Zi Xing once again followed Mo Xiaofei’s steps and asked: “Tell me more about this mad woman.

Besides being Nagato Saburo’s wife, does Lord Mo have any other information?”

Mo Xiaofei, however, looked strange and said: “Speaking of which, this woman’s name is Narukami Haru.” “Narukami?” Zi Xing was taken aback.

The female lead in that movie… was her name Narukami Kunai?

Is there some special connection between the two?

With these thoughts, Zi Xing continued to listen to the information Mo Xiaofei had gathered. “Speaking of which, this Narukami Haru wasn’t born in Zaodao Village.

She was adopted by the previous generation’s Mrs.

Witch at the Mountain Shrine… It’s said she was supposed to inherit the shrine, becoming the new Mrs.

Witch.

But she unexpectedly fell in love with Nagato Saburo and gave up the right to inherit the shrine.”

Zi Xing nodded and suddenly asked, “Lord Mo, have you been to that shrine?”

Mo Xiaofei nodded, “I have.

I initially heard from the bamboo pole that the previous Mrs.

Witch also died under a curse.

But now it seems that her death might also be related to the Nagato House.

As for the new Mrs.

Witch mentioned by the bamboo pole, I haven’t seen her.”

Mo Xiaofei shook his head: “I used the reset ability twice, staying guard at the shrine until the time ended, and still saw no one.

That place seems like it hasn’t been lived in for a long time.

Overall, it gives me a very eerie feeling.” “Lord Mo, Zaodao Village is filled with doubts.

It’s unusual for you and me to be drawn into this world…” Zi Xing said solemnly: “Moreover, meeting you just makes me more certain that back in the cinema, perhaps it wasn’t just you and me who were pulled here.” “You mean… everyone present is in this Yan Wuyue World?”

Zi Xing added: “Was this movie only shown in a single cinema?” “It’s not a big-budget movie.” Mo Xiaofei said, biting his finger: “Typically, a horror film like this doesn’t get many screenings…

But if we consider nationwide viewings, there could be quite a few.

The key point is, it wasn’t only shown once.

I remember the movie ‘Pen Immortal’ has been in theaters for almost three weeks… wait a minute, if the movie itself really could pull people into this strange world, then why are those who finished watching it able to leave the cinema unharmed?” “That’s exactly what puzzles me…
