Chapter 579

It's the bad rules that Meihe has to do - the customs of this village.

Although Zhu Ji didn't know what was right and what was wrong.

But she was convinced that the ritual of offering living sacrifices was absolutely wrong.

"It's too inappropriate. If you do that kind of thing, you will be struck by lightning."

The scolding is really ugly——Even though Zhu Ji thought so in her heart, she still said firmly.

"I...have killed several dozens of people."

Meihe's confession was like a marble in Zhuji's head, bouncing back and forth.

Meihe stared straight at Zhuji with wide black eyes.

"Miss Zhuji...you are too cunning."

Leng might as well be blamed like this, making Zhu Ji repeat it unconsciously.

"Cunning?"

Meihe bit her lips tightly, and then, the accumulated saltiness sprayed out like impatiens seeds.

"Isn't that the case...I'm a murderer, but you are so innocent; let everyone——Brother Onizaki protect you! This is not cunning, it's really... too cunning."

"Murderer"—these words were so heavy that she couldn't breathe under the weight of her chest.

On Meihe's snow-white cheeks, a few rows of tears like jade beads flowed down.

Self who knows nothing.What kind of mood does Meihe use to look at it?
In this way, Zhu Ji recalled Mei He's occasional cold gaze, and understood what was going on.

But even if there are more "last resorts" or "no alternatives", that approach should still not be forgiven.

"I'm sorry, Meihe, I still can't agree, there must be other better ways..."

"Your opinion is very good, but you should worry about yourself first! Yu Yiji?"

The conversation was suddenly interrupted, and the sound of biting a crisp senbei came in, and it was Ashiya who came.

"This place is really boring."

He frowned and looked around the warehouse, then looked at Zhu Ji and said:

"Miss Zhuji, you have to die for the seal."

Zhu Ji didn't understand the meaning of his words for a moment.

Ashiya looked at Zhu Ji's expression and probably guessed that she didn't understand, so he repeated it again.

"You have to die for the seal. Now that Onizumaru has been liberated and there is no treasure, this is the only way to seal it."

I understood it the second time.

I understood it, but this time it was changed to be puzzled.

She looked at grandma and Meihe, they didn't look surprised.

Both of them remained silent, as if they agreed with what Ashiya said.

"The treasure is a device to increase Yuyi's power. The official ceremony must be carried out on the premise that the treasure is complete, but it is impossible to do the normal sealing ceremony now-this is the situation, Miss Zhuji."

Zhu Ji wanted to take it as a joke, but no one laughed.

"Otherwise, there is still the road of biting your nails and watching the end of the world, but the country's position will not recognize this result, so—there is only one way left."

Ashiya talked about it like a salesperson introducing a product.

The statement that he would be killed began to feel a little real.

Zhu Ji grabbed the corner of her skirt and kept shaking her head desperately.

"It is recorded in ancient times that Yu Yiji once sacrificed her life to suppress Onizumaru. Although the blood of the villagers can be used to seal it, but as long as you sacrifice your life, the seal should become more complete. In the future, probably There is no need to sacrifice the villagers anymore!"

Ashiya's words passed by his ears like the wind.

"Hey, Miss Zhuji, you who have never made any sacrifices, now is the time to play justice. It's a pity, but it's the truth! Didn't you always want to know the truth? This is the truth."

Ashiya put down the words with a smile, then turned and left the warehouse.

Zhu Ji couldn't move, and couldn't speak.

Her whole body was trembling slightly, unable to think at all.

"Meihe, you go out too."

Under her grandmother's instructions, Meihe bowed and walked out, leaving only Zhuji and her grandmother.

"That's how things are. Zhuji, we exist for the sake of sealing, we can only say that it's unfortunate..."

Grandma stared at Zhu Ji, and there seemed to be a trace of tenderness in her eyes.

"The sealing ceremony will be held soon. Before that, I want you to stay here. If you have any wishes, I will try my best to help you realize them."

Grandma's words were just announcing the decision.

Zhu Ji's own choice was not in her consideration from the very beginning.

"After you're dead, I'll follow you when I see that the bondage of the seal is transferred to Meihe. It must be lonely to let you travel alone to a dead end!"

Zhu Ji wanted to say as much as a mountain, but her whole body was so stiff that she couldn't even make a sound.

Couldn't even shake his head.

"I'm leaving, I'll see you later."

After leaving these words, grandma walked out quietly.

The moment the door closed, Wei Xianhu rushed out from Zhu Ji's shadow, and slipped out of the warehouse in a flash.

"Little Fox..."

The cry came out.

As soon as her body regained her freedom, Zhuji immediately moved closer to the small transom window for lighting and looked out.

I saw Wei Xianhu's snow-white back running farther and farther.

"That's right, what's the use of staying with me, a dying person... Goodbye, little fox, thank you very much for taking care of me these days."

The fox didn't even look back, and finally disappeared in a flash.

Zhu Ji wanted to try to open the door, but the door seemed to be enchanted by the grandmother, and it was completely motionless.

Even if he chanted Zhen Hongdun's mantra, he remained indifferent.

Perhaps it was due to the unlocking of the barrier in the room before, but this time it was a more powerful barrier.

The wind blowing in from the window lightly brushed Suki's face.

The wind not only took away the warmth from his cheeks, but also from his body.

Thinking of this, she felt even colder all over.

There was Wei Xianhu by my side before, so I never felt so cold.

The coldness of the body aroused fear again.

Zhu Ji slumped on the bamboo cabinet beside her.

If you don’t do this, the seal will not be completed, and more villagers will continue to sacrifice in the future; not only that, maybe even the world will be destroyed——Grandma and Ashiya said so.

"There is no room for me to choose at all..."

I really don't want to die.

I really want to escape from here.

But wouldn't it be too selfish to do so?

Killing is wrong, that's for sure.

But is it a noble act to decide to kill oneself for the sake of humanity?

From the standpoint of being Yu Yiji, I have to do this—is it right?
The sun had completely set, and it was pitch black in the warehouse.

The only source of light was a small oil lamp left by Meihe.

"Who can tell me……"
