I Can See Health Bars in Real Life

Chapter 798: Prologue: Beginnings (Part 2)

It doesn’t quite seem that way...

Such good temperament, decent appearance, upright figure...

Although it’s not very polite to say, she just felt that this person, even if they ate soft rice, shouldn’t fall to the end of a completely failed life.

"I see..." Gu Mo nodded thoughtfully, "Then I shall first go visit the Reimu Witch."

Although it sounds like that’s the case, in reality, one has to see for themselves. Besides, strictly speaking, the lineage of Reimu Witches also originated from the worship of the Dragon God, but I seem to not be a qualified god myself, as I haven’t really managed their spontaneous legacy...

But then again, there’s nothing that can be done. As long as there’s no issue that truly requires my intervention, naturally, I’ll let them handle it on their own...

If it’s not necessary, he naturally wouldn’t pay too much attention, since he’s not a shrine maiden enthusiast...

Mmm, probably not?

"Going to see the Reimu Witch?"

Unaware that the Dragon God was preparing to check on her own shrine, Alice just slightly raised her eyebrows, was this person directly deciding to leave here?

She nodded lightly, then looked in a certain direction at the horizon of Fantasy Land.

At dusk, with the sun setting in the west, the afterglow cast long shadows in this secluded Peach Blossom Spring.

Standing at the edge of the Magic Forest, the blond maiden hesitated a little, then sighed softly and said seriously to the young man in front of her, "Then I’ll take you directly to the Boli Shrine, after all, it’s not very far..."

Since the other party had already made a choice, there was no other way, so she’ll send him directly to Boli Shrine.

After all, it’s already dark now, and going to Boli Shrine at this time is relatively dangerous, because between the Human World and Boli Shrine is the Beast Dao where demons frequent, naturally more dangerous at night.

This person just entered Fantasy Land with only a little special power, and also without the Spell Card Rules—

Walking the Beast Dao at night is indeed very perilous.

Since she’s already brought him here, she might as well send him to Boli Shrine, it’s not much farther. If she painstakingly brought him out of the Magic Forest, only for him to meet misfortune at Beast Dao, it would be a waste of her goodwill.

Alice thought this—

She felt that this must be her thinking, and it was this idea that led to such a decision.

"I see... then please, Miss Alice." Gu Mo was slightly taken aback but still smiled, showing a very sincere smile.

He was indeed curious about this maiden’s secrets, even though he had a rough guess, it was yet uncertain.

Moreover, to confirm, he needed some methods that couldn’t be too abrupt, right? So now he plans to visit his shrine at Boli Shrine first, then carefully observe Fantasy Land, and in the process, confirm this question.

However, unexpectedly, Miss Alice is so enthusiastic...

Click-click, not being led astray by Miss Shinki is quite nice.

Gu Mo couldn’t help but feel a bit comforted.

......

The Human World.

The main human settlement in Fantasy Land, also the main gathering place for humans in Fantasy Land.

But calling it a village isn’t quite accurate, as its scale is very large, it might appear more like a town in overall scale. Full of ancient charm, with no large buildings, mainly consisting of low houses. Streets and alleys are orderly, with shops and dwellings scattered appropriately.

However, probably because night is falling, the streets are somewhat deserted, and the pedestrians are tidying up their things.

Gu Mo took a glance around, discovering many shops with lingering Demon Qi, seeming to be stores run by demons. Even though it’s a human settlement, it seems common for demons to be present, and everyone appears accustomed to it.

"Many shops stay open till late at night, turning into demon-only shops... demons are more active at night, so the shops thrive during that time, you could say demons make very good customers."

Alice spoke calmly.

"So the daytime Human World belongs to humans, and at night, it belongs to demons... it’s just that recently at night, those demons have been making a ruckus, getting many complaints, so they’ve restrained themselves a lot, becoming quieter the last few days."

Earlier, the night market used to be truly lively.

But people need rest, they wouldn’t tolerate these night owls’ antics, after a few fines and closures, now the nights are much quieter, at least not too noisy.

"It’s really quite... interesting."

Gu Mo nodded slightly, this co-existence of humans and demons is something Minamoto no Yoshiie or the old man should see, it’s a prototype of the human-demon peaceful world they pursued.

"Ahead is the Beast Dao... there are also demon beasts, especially recently there’s a Night Sparrow setting up a barbecue stall here, attracting many nocturnal creatures. Without spell cards, walking this path at night is very dangerous." The blond maiden pointed ahead.

Passing the Beast Dao, ahead is a precipitous mountain.

One can see on the mountain path leading to the shrine, there are steep cliffs, with Divine Wood planted on the edge of the cliffs, and slope steps built on the mountainside outside the Bird House. The landmarks are relatively obvious.

With Miss Alice leading the way, Gu Mo walked through the Beast Dao and up the mountain.

The gate of Boli Shrine is tightly closed.

The witch is completely missing, and the surroundings are also empty.

"At this time... could that poor shrine maiden be out mooching meals?" Alice felt a bit helpless, thinking that Marisa also hadn’t returned to the Magic Forest today, perhaps this black and white and red and white teamed up, doing something secretive unknown to others.

"That’s really unfortunate..."

Gu Mo placed a hand on his chin, pondering as he surveyed his shrine.

There’s nothing, just ruins, and emptiness... is this really the shrine that worships him? Even though he doesn’t need it, it seems there isn’t any Power of Faith remaining here.

If the faith were thin, it could be attributed to lack of incense, or the shrine maiden’s insufficient devotion...

But with absolutely nothing, it can only mean this shrine is empty in appearance, even the shrine maiden doesn’t know which god is worshipped.

So, how did his Dragon God Grand Shrine end up like this? Was it desecrated and ruined?

Gu Mo fell into contemplation.

And at this moment, the blond maiden also turned her head earnestly towards him: "Not sure when the Reimu Witch will come back, it might be tomorrow... would you like to rest in the Human World for now tonight? You need to find a place to settle first."

"Makes sense... so, could you tell me what I should do?"

Gu Mo naturally had no objections, nodding in agreement.

"The Human World has a set procedure for accepting outsiders, whether you plan to stay or leave, first you have to find Teacher Keine at the Temple School, then report to the Hieda Family in the village..."

Alice explained methodically, but suddenly felt a bit uneasy: "Oh, never mind, I’ll just take you over, at this time you’d probably find it hard to figure it out yourself..."

She sighed lightly, her brows inevitably knitted closely together.

It’s really too strange...

Why does she instinctively care so much about this person’s affairs...
