resort.

In what was once the most central room.

Chie Abe sat on the ground, curled up against the corner.

She didn't turn on the light, just felt the dimness in the corner.

While she was enjoying this moment of silence, the door was suddenly opened.

Cold moonlight shines in from outside.

Along with them came Murong Wan and two bowls of steaming noodles.

Murong Wan smiled and said, "It's great that you're still alive."

"You...you...are done."

Chie Abe stuttered a little.

She wanted to ask something, but suddenly she felt that she was a prisoner and shouldn't ask those questions.

Murong Wan was quite relaxed.

After placing two bowls of noodles on the table, he turned on the lights in the room.

Murong Wan looked at her and said with a smile, "Don't you want to eat something together?"

"I……"

"While eating, let's talk about what happened outside."

Murong Wan chuckled.

Her gentle smile and eyes always seem to have a very profound appeal.

Chie Abe stood up with difficulty and sat down at the dining table.

She didn't eat anything, but looked at Murong Wan with anticipation, as if she was waiting for something.

Murong Wan slurped a mouthful of noodles and said, "Abe Shinan is not dead, although his two hands were cut off. However, according to the current medical level, if he goes to the hospital in time, he should still be able to reattach his hands. Of course, it will definitely not be as useful as before. At least he is not strong enough to be the head of the family."

"This...may be a good thing for him."

Chie Abe said in a low voice.

Murong Wan smiled and said, "Let's eat."

"it is good……"

Chie Abe picked up the chopsticks hesitantly.

She was very silent while she ate.

Murong Wan was very cheerful and talked about what happened in the Abe family in the afternoon.

"We killed the mountain god."

Murong Wan said simply.

Chie Abe nodded.

This was something she expected.

She never thought that the mountain god could deal with Yang Feng and Murong Wan, otherwise he would not have tried to stop Abe Manami through some means before.

Murong Wan was helpless and said, "However, during the battle, your mountain gods killed dozens of ancient warriors from the Abe family. Except for a few divine ninjas who escaped, now most of the ninjas of the Abe family are gone, and naturally there are no Onmyojis either."

"The mountain god will absorb the power of those who provide it. I have seen my father send some... some people who made mistakes to the mountain god before, and they never came out again."

Chie Abe obviously knew all these things a long time ago.

"Did you try to stop it?"

Murong Wan asked.

Abe Chie looked at Murong Wan and said, "No, I know it's useless. But I went back secretly and found their mummies at the mountain god's place. It was a barren mountain..."

"I see. By chance, I saw a special cemetery to the west of the resort, about five kilometers away."

Murong Wan narrowed her eyes and said, "This has something to do with you, right?"

Chie Abe looked at Murong Wan in surprise.

She didn't know how Murong Wan found out.

"I sense a very familiar aura up there, just like the Abe family this afternoon."

Murong Wan obviously noticed that there were also many people who were sucked dry by the mountain god, and the aura they left behind was very similar.

Thinking of this, Chie Abe became even more depressed and whispered, "Those are the remains of people who were sacrificed to the mountain god. I secretly brought them back and buried them there, but I couldn't erect a monument for them, so I could only erect a monument without words."

"I've seen quite a few."

"Well, there are twenty-six of them in total."

Chie Abe replied in a low voice, "Father won't let us get close to that, but it's unfair to leave their bodies exposed in the mountains. Even their death is unfair to them..."

Chie Abe's voice became smaller and smaller.

She couldn't do anything because no one could shake her father's decision.

The only thing she could do was to leave a decent grave for those who did not deserve death, so that their friends and relatives would have a place to pay tribute to them in the future if there was a chance.

Murong Wan finished her bowl of noodles and listened to Chie Abe's story.

“Sometimes, we have very few choices.”

Murong Wan looked at Abe Chie and said calmly, "Just like you can't choose your own birth, you shouldn't have been in the Abe family. This doesn't seem to suit you."

"I……"

"Do you want to live your life again?"

Murong Wan asked.

Chie Abe was stunned for a moment, looked at her in confusion and asked: "What do you mean by this?"

"The past is the past. From today on, make some choices for yourself."

Murong Wan asked with a smile.

Chie Abe was silent.

She grew up in the family and always obeyed the family's arrangements.

Murong Wan's sudden words made her feel a little strange.

"I don't know...how to choose..."

Chie Abe's tone was confused.

Murong Wan glanced at the scenery outside and said, "It's just past midnight now. It's actually the beginning of a new day. Live again for your own future and the future of many people."

"You don't want me to do something for you?"

Chie Abe is very smart, so she can naturally understand Murong Wan's meaning quickly.

Murong Wan shook her head and said, "I am doing things for your ideals."

"I don't understand."

"For those who are still alive, so that their fate will not be decided so easily by others, and for more islanders to grasp their own destiny."

Murong Wan's tone gradually became serious, and she said, "For them, choose again."

"I……"

"Similarly, I can give you some time to think about it. Although I will be leaving tomorrow, I will still wait for your answer. No matter when, you can answer me when you have figured it out."

Murong Wan did not force her to make a decision.

It was rare for Chie Abe to feel that she was respected in this way.

Yes, respect.

This is not the fear and admiration of the Abe family's subordinates.

It wasn't an order like Abe Manami's.

But he was a man of terrifying strength, but he respected and waited for his opinion.

Chie Abe looked at Murong Wan in front of her, and her originally dead eyes became a little more lively.

When Murong Wan just walked to the door, Chie Abe suddenly stood up and chased after her.

"I...what should I do?"

Chie Abe asked.

She was finally going to make a decision for herself at this time.

This is destined to be an unusual night.

Even Yang Feng didn't know what Murong Wan said to Abe Chie.

But he could guess the purpose of Murong Wan's doing this.

In a turbulent environment like that of an island country, they desperately need people from the island country to provide them with intelligence and help.
