Bizarre Honkai, a Wife-Chasing Crematorium

Having prepared both himself and the stage for attracting the bizarre entities, Li Mo quickly got to his feet and strode toward the black coffin.

The notebook's plan was to use the medium that he was about to leave behind to bring Bizarre Kiana to reality. It wasn't clear exactly when she would arrive, but it would surely be enough time to resolve all the ghosts in the auditorium.

Li Mo had originally had this plan in mind. He was just afraid that he wouldn't be able to hold on until he got into the moonlight, and he also had some wishful thinking that occupying a seat might be a solution.

It was easy to invite a god, but hard to send it away…

Bizarre Kiana was a much greater threat to Li Mo than the head ghosts.

At least the behavior patterns of the head ghosts were now completely clear: They were active at night, they prioritized attacking hosts with good physical abilities in an attempt to take them over, they could change the host's memories and perceptions, and they could affect the surrounding environment.

But with Bizarre Kiana, there was too much that was unknown, besides her time-space abilities.

Because he didn't understand Bizarre Kiana's experiences, he naturally couldn't come to a reasonable conclusion.

But now that he had already chosen this path, Li Mo needed to think about how to deal with the trap that the notebook had set for him.

He wouldn't write down the date before his time-travel. It was enough to lure Kiana to him by going into the moonlight and actively "declaring his love." Leaving behind the date of his time-travel…

Heh, the notebook probably knew that he would go back, so it wanted to make him leave behind a medium in reality so that Kiana would follow him back into his reality.

Li Mo wasn't stupid enough to not be able to see through a trick like that.

"Theresa moved..."

Li Mo's tone became urgent. The situation was beginning to get worse.

The competition for the seats was probably at its final, most intense stage. He had to move faster…

"Stay still!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Blue-purple flames burned fiercely in the darkness.

His gun-wielding hand was putting up a desperate struggle. After Li Mo shot through his thigh and his left hand, he steeled his resolve and switched hands to shoot his right hand.

His limbs weren't listening to him? Simple, just shoot them twice.

Li Mo's limbs finally calmed down. Using the time when he could still move freely, he grit his teeth, endured the pain, and rushed to the black coffin. He removed the coffin lid, revealing a familiar, yet unfamiliar, corpse.

It was familiar because it was Li Mo's body, but it was unfamiliar because it had been preserved so well and there were no signs that any bizarre entities had violated it.

Compared to the headless corpse in the black coffin, Li Mo's current body outside could be described as a mess of holes…

His body was burning with dazzling blue-purple flames, flying through the night like a falling meteor.

When his flesh and blood were burned away, he would surely be reborn.

The brilliant blue-purple light quickly attracted the attention of the living. Saori Tsuruyo and the other students suddenly got up, their eyes wide, staring in disbelief at the returning figure.

The blue-purple flames were like vipers, coiling around his limbs. The bizarre flames only targeted the flesh and blood that were contaminated by the bizarre, his limbs, his body, and even the spine on his neck…

"Onii-chan?!"

"Senpai?!"

They watched Li Mo extend his arms, which were burning with fierce flames. He pushed open the coffin lid, took out the headless corpse, and then slowly walked toward them.

Not a single ghost came near him. All the ghosts instinctively moved away from the flames that were suppressing the bizarre entities.

The small flames, using Li Mo's flesh and bones as fuel, erupted with even more powerful suppression.

Li Mo walked to the seats. The tall corpse and the heads subconsciously moved away, afraid of touching even a trace of the flames.

The hundred ghosts made way, and embers were scattered all over the ground.

Li Mo's body was constantly dropping ash from the burnt flesh. After a long time, he picked up the headless corpse and dropped it in the very center of the "dining table."

The flames began to die down, and the vengeful ghosts started to approach.

"Onii-chan! Are you okay… no, now all twelve seats are filled. What should I do?"

Saori Tsuruyo had wanted to say some words of concern, but she knew that Li Mo was using his life to buy time. He must have found a way to survive.

What she had to do was quickly report the key information that she knew and then wait for Li Mo's command.

Any extra greetings or concerns would only waste the time that Li Mo had worked so hard to buy.

The head ghosts nearby had already started to stir. Once the flames were completely extinguished, they would probably attack without hesitation.

Li Mo trembled as he raised his hand. That hand was as black as charcoal.

He looked like an old man who was about to die, slow in his actions.

"Go get that greatsword," Li Mo said.

"Okay." Saori Tsuruyo didn't hesitate and immediately ran back to Shigure Kira, picking up the greatsword with one hand.

It's so heavy…

Saori Tsuruyo thought for a moment, placed the thermometer in Shigure Kira's hand, and then ran to Li Mo with the greatsword in both hands.

At this point, the flames on Li Mo's body had been greatly reduced. The blue-purple flames were no longer bright nor dazzling.

"A very terrifying bizarre entity will appear soon. She'll take care of all the ghosts here. You absolutely must not get into a conflict with her… no matter what she does, no matter what happens, you must not make contact with her. Absolutely not!" Li Mo shouted hysterically.

The students were taken aback. They had never seen Li Mo so agitated before.

Before this, no matter what kind of predicament he faced, Li Mo always had a calm and composed expression.

Everyone also realized how terrifying the bizarre entity that Li Mo was talking about must be to make Li Mo so tense.

Saori Tsuruyo nodded seriously. "I understand. Even if it means being eaten by the heads, I won't provoke her!"

Hearing this, Li Mo began his final instructions, which sounded like a will, "The ritual for the last day is the burial. I'm about to die now. After I die, either my body or the body in the black coffin, at least one of them will be eaten."

"Once all the ghosts are gone from the auditorium, if one of the corpses is still left, then you have to put the other corpse into the black coffin, cover the coffin, and spend the night guarding it in the auditorium."

"Before 7:00 PM tomorrow night, you need to take the last grave incense, carry the coffin, and bury it anywhere."

"That's your entire mission. Once that's finished… you can leave this school."

"After tonight, there won't be any head ghosts roaming around this school at night anymore. You're free."

Flames started to burn Li Mo's face. Because the Unlucky Ghost was still in his brain.

He had to begin his "rebirth" as soon as possible.

"Big Brother…" Saori Tsuruyo pressed her lips tightly together, biting through her lip, and causing bright red blood to flow out.

She didn't know what to say.

Saori Tsuruyo understood that Li Mo was giving his final instructions.

He was determined to bury this bizarre funeral with his life, and the only thing that he was worried about was her and the other ordinary people. That was why he was being so careful in his instructions.

The Unlucky Ghost spoke again. But this time, it wasn't mocking or cursing. Instead, it was a raspy scream in a tone of incomprehensible fear: "She's coming! She's coming! That woman is coming! It's that woman! She's too terrifying! I'm going to die! I'm going to die!"

Li Mo ignored the Unlucky Ghost's wailing in his mind. He immediately lay down on the headless corpse, his body exactly the same size, overlapping perfectly.

Limbs to limbs, body to body, neck to neck, only Li Mo's head was facing the empty space.

"Yuu-chan, cut off my head from my neck. You'll be safe."

"Is there no other way?! I…"

"Actually, you've already realized it, haven't you? You are able to discard your cowardly side and are doing better than the others. And now, you're the leader. It's time for you to make the decision."

"A leader cannot hesitate," Li Mo reminded her again.

Saori Tsuruyo's eyes couldn't help but swell up, and she squeezed the greatsword tightly in her hands.

People were like that. When the real responsibility and the power to lead others fell onto their own shoulders, they finally realized just how heavy the decision was.

Saori Tsuruyo thought she had matured, grown up, and had become decisive.

But it was only now, when she was about to personally kill her only belief, that she could realize that all the strong facades were fake.

Those leaders who could make decisions so calmly were not relying on their decisiveness, but on the inevitable fate they had.

Because humans never had any choice. That was why they had to make a choice.
