Gu Mo stood up and casually swung the katana in his hand a few tis. He wondered if it was just an illusion, as the weight of the sword seed to have lightened sowhat.
He wasn’t entirely sure if this was due to his physical stamina instantly recovering, even more abundant than before, causing an illusion, or if attributes like strength, agility, and physique had a certain synergy, slightly enhancing the others when any one was strengthened?
Speaking of which, how is professional level supposed to be improved? Does it also give a distributable point whenever a level is gained or sothing?
But there should be so differences, right? Otherwise, there’s no need to have two separate leveling systems...
These thoughts floated in his mind, but Gu Mo didn’t ponder them too deeply at this ti. Instead, he turned around to look at Hidechika behind him, and with great spirit, he waved his hand: "Alright, I’ve rested well. Let’s head up the mountain now!"
"..."
"..."
The black-haired girl looked at him with a strange gaze. This person was really odd. She could understand when he said he needed to rest, considering he had chopped his way from the village head to the village end, contracting the one-on-one slaying service for all the small Hungry Ghosts, visibly growing along the way.
But in any case, for a normal person’s physical strength to last this long was already quite impressive. The girl also felt he indeed needed to sit down and catch his breath, otherwise, he might not even have the energy to climb the mountain later.
Fighting truly consus a lot of physical strength. Not to ntion battles requiring deadly blows, even ordinary fights tire people out after a while, much like boxing, which is a high-intensity exercise, consuming significant physical strength.
But then again...
He was really exhausted just now; the fatigue on his face was apparent. Yet, after washing his hands, he imdiately beca energetic. What kind of operation was this?
Hidechika tilted her head, as if question marks were slowly erging above her head. She subconsciously shifted her gaze to the waterside. Could it be that this strange person has so special secret technique or thod... Hmm, to recover his state quickly by washing his hands?
Gu Mo was unaware that due to his odd behavior, the girl suspected him of being the "washing hands War God". He just took the lead and walked toward the stone staircase mountain path at the back mountain.
In response, the black-haired girl had no choice but to hold the torch and quickly follow.
Upon reaching the stone steps, looking at the mountain path above, winding and disappearing into the dense forest, Gu Mo looked up at the sky. The light of stars and the moon had dimd, and the eastern sky was already showing a hint of dawn...
It was almost daybreak.
Speaking of which, when he was preparing to return to his apartnt and accidentally entered this instance, it was about one o’clock in the morning. And the ti spent in this instance, even counting ticulously, added up to just over an hour, certainly not reaching two hours—
This was because he was cautious in exploring the map, attracting only one small Hungry Ghost at a ti, and also because the powerhouse he tead up with was very patient...
So no matter how one looks at it, it shouldn’t be almost daybreak. The only explanation is that there’s a ti distortion between the instance and the real world... This was expected, with different worldviews, but maybe due to coincidence or so other reason, every ti he entered the instance, the ti just happened to also be night there.
This inadvertently caused such an illusion for Gu Mo, also making it hard for him initially to distinguish the boundary between reality and fantasy.
"It’s almost daybreak..." Gu Mo sighed, and slightly quickened his pace.
According to the storyline he knew, Fujikichiro would also arrive at daybreak, although it’s unclear why his promised vigil under the Night Cherry Blossoms resulted in nothing but solitude, and what he was actually up to in the anti. However, having tricked Ah Xiu not long ago, Gu Mo instinctively wanted to avoid eting Fujikichiro.
Being exposed on the spot would be too awkward...
So it’s better to clear the instance quickly, then "bucket and run"; by then, even if he gets exposed, he likely won’t be in this world, so there’s nothing to fear.
The black-haired girl behind him also glanced at the sky. Indeed, it was almost dawn, as she had fallen asleep deep into the night, woken by a passerby being attacked by a Hungry Ghost, slayed the small demon to save the passerby, and only then discovered a letter had been delivered to her house, inviting her to this area’s Thirteen Sakura Village.
Since the distance was sowhat far, it took her a while to get here, arriving naturally quite late. Add to that the ti delayed just now, it’s no wonder it’s almost daybreak; what’s so surprising about that?
Moreover, he was acting as if ti was abundant just a mont ago, why the sudden urgency now?
The girl was sowhat puzzled, but she couldn’t ask about it.
"Ugh, it’s Evernight again..."
Walking in front, Gu Mo suddenly felt his vision dim and shift to a near black-and-white tone, as if unconsciously stepping past the boundary separating the present world, falling into sothing akin to a Demon Realm. With the background and light both becoming murky, his body also felt much heavier, and his once abundant energy began to drain away.
