Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Beauty Essence 7: The Skull at the End of the Gorge

"Red satin covered on his face. Covering her beauty like a flower. Visiting the sky to be blessed. Kowtowing at the altar, to love each other~."

What Yi Hua saw was the crowd, and the people wandering before him. This crowd reminded him of his fake wedding to complete the mission. Moment ...

Fake wedding?

Why is it fake?

Unconsciously his eyes continued to show confusion. He knows who he is, but on the one hand he doesn't know. Strange feeling.

It's like you believe you're a flower, and on the one hand you feel that you don't have petals like a flower. This feeling feels happy, like a bride waiting for her wedding. But on the one hand he was not sure that this was his own happiness.

" ... Hua." -."

"Two people who love each other are at the root of happiness."

This song?

This feeling of longing is confusing. But he didn't know why he was feeling homesick. He didn't really know the voice of the man who was singing. All he knew was that the voice felt familiar, but not familiar.

It's so confusing!

Also ...

"Yi Hua, wake up or your soul will be overpowered!"

This shitty sound! Why is he always heard?

Ckc ... Just disturb.

"Don't get carried away by the verse, HuaHua. Remember that you are Yi Hua, the Trash Diviner in Li Kingdom."

"They said to each other: I love you. Then, when the moon collides, we're with ~"

I have to believe which voice?

In reality, he doesn't understand anything. He began to be unsure of what he was doing. Shadows paced from the busy person slowly drifting away. It became opaque, and was replaced with chaos.

Everything's chaos. And, is she crying?

Today is her wedding day, so why did this happen on this happy day?

"Please ..."

He touched his own neck which was suffocating. But no hand strangled him there. There is only pain, but no action. He felt like this was the end of his life.

Her tears are dripping.

Then, the pain like choking was replaced by a feeling of warmth. Someone like touching the pain in his neck. Then the pain turned into something.

He opened his eyes ...

Is correct. He realized that all this time his eyes were closed. Somehow he could see the crowd, even though his eyes were closed. What an inexplicable sight. Everything that happens is like grass eaten by cows.

When he opened his eyes, he realized that there was a beautiful face with a grieving smile. Too bad for the fact that there is pain there. Moreover, this beauty was like taking away her pain.

Before they both split up there ... The beauty said something that made her begin to understand what was happening. It's just a very simple story.

It's just ... No one noticed it.

"I'm sorry herself. There was no evil in his heart. It's just that he wants me back."

However ...

"I won't be able to go back."

Then, the girl in the wedding red dress cried. Resisting the pain she took from Yi Hua. Is correct. Now she remembered that she was Yi Hua.

After so many voices raging, a desperate voice sounded. It was really confusing when Yi Hua was still not crazy because of this voice. But he still stood firm on his consciousness. He was conscious, but on one hand he was just like a handful of dandelion flowers.

Keep flying ... Until it reaches the next land.

SRETT!

"Yi Hua, if you don't wake up, then your head will be scraped by the lowly ghosts here."

HUH UH?

GRAK!

BUGH!

Either because of her fear, or she just realized what had previously happened to her, but Yi Hua had already risen just like that. But he ended up bumping into someone who leaned towards him. .

"Oh .." lamented Yi Hua who felt pain on her forehead.

Yi Hua's eyes now opened more clearly, and there he immediately looked at An's calm face. Also, the red color on An's forehead really made Yi Hua aware of the place. Apparently he hit An when he got up quickly earlier.

"What's going on?" yi Hua asked who was confused by her own circumstances.

Now they are in a strange forest. Where this was a forest, but on one side he could see how 'bright' and 'broad' the road formed. Like a forest that is preserved to visit.

"You fainted, and cried."

Yi Hua touched her own eyes, and she realized that she was indeed crying. However, he could not understand the strange sadness that was inside him.

"It seems like this is what happens to every one of those beauties" An said as he helped Yi Hua clean her clothes off the ground.

Even so, Yi Hua felt protected when An was not so presumptuous to touch. The man's movements were extremely smooth, and it was even very rare to touch directly onto Yi Hua's skin. However, Yi Hua was only aware of the effects of existing aphrodisiacs.

Benar ...

Yi Hua's face reddened suddenly when he thought of the previous mess.

"The effect of an aphrodisiac is a feeling of needing something, of heat, and sometimes like you're floating, and of needing a release. That's the reason why this kidnapper needs an aphrodisiac." That was what Yi Hua said, but he did not know why he needed to tell An.

An's face looks so dangerous. As this man was troubled by the fact that Yi Hua had been poisoned before. However the man still helped Yi Hua to get up without saying anything.

Why does he look so angry? Does he feel like I'm bothering him?

Yi Hua realized that, but he was reluctant to ask. Maybe she was just afraid An would strangle her for being annoying. After all he had caused a lot of chaos for An himself. He was sure the man would be prepared to kick him if he acted a lot.

"Then, the beauties are not lost. They are just wasted here," pointed Yi Hua at the scattered bones.

Some of them appear to have broken bones. Then, there are also still intact, but the skull of his head has been broken. Well, of course who's still intact after falling so hard from the mouth of the ravine.

He knows that An is protecting him, but on the one hand he realizes that An is not simple. This man even looked fine when they rolled so far away. Coupled with Yi Hua who burdened him.

"Bas on a lunatic."

That was all An responded to, although Yi Hua did not know who he was referring to. But it might be the kidnapper. Yi Hua knew what he was doing. This was a forbidden method that carried out assassinations very subtly.

Yi Hua said that music or art can also be a spiritual weapon. Like there's a tune that could be an introduction, or a song that could make someone else kill themselves. It was a forbidden thing, but as people still learned it.

There is always another side to art.

"He uses the 'strange' taste of an aphrodisiac. Beauty will feel like it needs something. Then, the song will guide the girls into the highest wishful thinking. And, releasing his soul from his body without the need for death first," explained Yi Hua who told him of his own experience.

What he saw before was not his memory. It was the memory of another person being forced to plant inside his head. Unfortunately, during the painful process of releasing her soul, a girl came to reduce it.

These scattered bones were found by An in an adjacent place. However, it does not mix and looks different age and color of the bones. It indicates that their deaths were at different times. Especially in the new bone, which still has leftover meat embedded there.

It must be the last victim to disappear.

Xiao responded: "It's a little strange when other people think that killing in this way is not painful. Killing is killing. Even if you were killed while you were asleep, but the pain won't go away."

Yi Hua stared at the rows of skulls that were there. He didn't even notice An calling the pigeons. This was why he always followed An, because this man was the most alert man ever.

Again Xiao responded somewhat hysterically. "It's also kind of cruel. You've been made to smolder by the influence of an aphrodisiac, then thrown away. Hey, that's his name toying with someone else's spring feeling."

So, that's what you're more concerned about, XiaoBusak!

Yi Hua regretted thinking that Xiao really paid attention to the case. It seemed that this Xiao was truly a creature in the middle of nowhere, both body and mind. Yi Hua felt like strangling him, if he could.

CLAP UP!

CLAP UP!

Yi Hua noticed the dove sent by An with a letter at his feet. Now they should just go back, because the culprit isn't in this place anymore either. He had only committed murder, and left it while thinking that Yi Hua was dead.

That person must have previously been among the crowd of palanquin handlers.

They must provide information that they have found these bones. Although Yi Hua still did not believe who did it. It's just that the kingdom must have had other evidence when it saw all this.

"There are only thirteen."

Yi Hua turned his head to An who was standing straight behind him. Yet the eyes of this man were more detailed than what Yi Hua realized. And, in fact, An is right.

In the records, the total girls who disappeared were fifteen people. With Yi Hua, if he was considered to disappear, then it would be sixteen people. Yi Hua even counted many times, and there were indeed only thirteen skulls there. Although not so intact, but the difference between each skull is clearly visible. So that no one can get mixed up in there. Moreover, the distance of the fall also tends to be different places.

Looks like there's still some unfinished here.

Or, since the beginning there were indeed two perpetrators of this murder?.

Well, Yi Hua from the beginning already had a guess about his killer. But he did not suspect that this 'killing' occurred in the middle. This is all the more logical when counting from existing victims.

"This is the actual number" whispered Yi Hua to who.

Since the beginning of this long case began from things that are unknown to others. There are two perpetrators here, but the other clearly need not be mentioned again. Because, he has become a victim record in the kingdom data.

Only remaining ...

However Yi Hua instantly closed his mouth when he saw An who was smiling. However the man looked like he was waiting for Yi Hua to finish this all. And, Yi Hua could only return An's smile with a very strange smile.

Also, who was the beauty who took away her pain before?

"I saw a girl in her red wedding dress. On the one hand I thought it was me. But on the other hand I don't think it is. And, the marriage felt very foreign there," explained Yi Hua who asked An's intelligent brain to be brought in to discuss.

An grunt with a face no matter what. "The man must have thought that he could bring back the soul of his lover. Such nonsense is so sickening."

Somehow Yi Hua felt a strange sense of An's words. It was as if he was keeping something about all this. Yi Hua did not dare to conclude. For it is An's business, and it is part of what An knows.

"But instead of bringing her lover into another body of beauty, she hurts her and gives repeated death to her lover" whispered Yi Hua who already understood what happened from all this.

Not everything in this world can go the same way. Even so, a road like this from the beginning was made in a bad way. What happens in the end will not be good either.

At the end of the day, everything is better to keep going as it is. The one who goes is gone, and the one who is left behind lives his life. Even though it is heavy.

"After all, not if he succeeds, but the replacement body for his lover will be destroyed as well. He threw it into the ravine?" yi Hua asked who did not understand why that person was doing this kind of method.

An pointed towards the strange net that only Yi Hua realized its existence. The net was very thin, and it looked soft. But the net was so strong that it could hold down a falling cow. So when someone falls there, he may be okay.

"You mean, if he believes his lover's soul-transfer is failing, he'll let go of the fallen man. But if he succeeds, he will be able to be with his lover again. But with someone else's body?" yi Hua asked more than just asking. He had even concluded everything that existed.

And, An seemed to know a lot, but he allowed Yi Hua to understand everything. Or, this guy was too lazy to sprawl out at length. I don't know. Moreover, Yi Hua did not want to prejudge An too much.

But the question remains the same. What about An and Yi Hua before? Shouldn't they have fallen in the net first?

Like a mosquito caught in a spider's web. The person who fell there should have been caught, and then after there was no more function, he was dropped. Should've.

And, An and Yi Hua slipped away without looking hurt or any rips in the net. That means they do not fall in the net, but directly into the abyss.

But which human being can be whole when thrown into the abyss?

They're both fine.

"Stop thinking complicated." An tidied up Yi Hua's messy haircut.

Look how ungainly this guy is when he touches a girl. Whoa!

"Sorry! Again, he doesn't know if you're a girl. He might pity your ant nest hair, ", Xiao responded.

Whereas previously Yi Hua already looked like a flower that bloomed with red. Unfortunately, now he looks like he was put in a sack. Her long hair was also like being bullied by a cow.

"Be a good boy, and solve the case."

Everything will be discussed at the High Court the next day.
