This Japanese Monogatari Isn't Lame

Chapter 421. Who Is It Again? (8000-word goal achieved!)


This notebook... no, rather than saying it's a notebook, it's more apt to call it a diary.

This is what Four Directions Wangyue left behind after entering the Moon Eclipsed Cave.

It mainly recorded what she saw and heard after entering the Moon Eclipsed Cave.

Later on, she also wrote about how she, as an ordinary witch, came to be chosen as the Moon Witch.

"That event happened, the Four Directions Family was in chaos... The training of the Moon Witch must start from a young age, without that pure soul, one cannot become the Moon Witch. Thus, I was chosen, from the start I knew my own destiny. Being chosen as the Moon Witch was just an excuse... to successfully get through the Waning Moon Time, it had to be me... The family head handed the Moon Obscuring Mirror to me, and in doing so, I took on the expectations of the clan."

The writing stopped here.

Seeing this, Beichuan Si frowned tightly.

"That event happened"?

What exactly was that event?

Losing the soul of the Moon Witch...? And the necessity for the Moon Witch to be trained from a young age? Was Four Directions Wangyue the replacement found later?

So did the first 'Moon Witch' die during "that event"?

Was Four Directions Wangyue chosen as the Moon Witch's replacement afterwards?

But it has already been said that the training of the Moon Witch must start from childhood.

For this reason, was Four Directions Wangyue brought to the Moon Eclipsed Cave as a replacement?

Does this mean that the Moon Eclipsed Cave has a role in accelerating the training of the Moon Witch?

And...

"Moon Obscuring Mirror...?"

Beichuan Si still had a vivid memory of the small round mirror that hung in front of Four Directions Huixue's chest.

He flicked his fingers, growing even more curious about what would happen next.

Turning the pages one by one, Beichuan Si also roughly understood the environment in which Four Directions Wangyue lived.

In the Moon Eclipsed Cave, the only thing Four Directions Wangyue had for amusement and to alleviate her feelings was this notebook, in which she left many records, mostly expressing her special longing for Four Directions Wenji, wanting to see him.

These poetic and emotional words left on the page conveyed an especially sorrowful and melancholic feeling.

After Beichuan Si read another page expressing the sentiment of Four Directions Wangyue's longing—

Everything... changed in an instant!

The fair and delicate handwriting changed.

Yes.

Everything changed.

The words sprawled across the notebook became twisted and messy, marked with a force as if to tear everything apart:

"I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue I am not Four Directions Huixue..."

The suffocating sentence left on the notebook, at a glance, sent chills down one's spine, made one's scalp tingle.

The frantic, pitch-black characters looked like the eyeballs of a person, staring fixedly at the reader.

As if someone was cursing in a low, resentful voice next to one's ear.

The surrounding air also turned cold.

I am not Four Directions Huixue?

Beichuan Si silently flipped further back in the notebook.

The subsequent pages of the notebook had no content, only the blankness of the paper remained.

The name of Four Directions Huixue appeared here once again.

And what exactly happened to cause such a horrifying self-identity mistake in a person? What did Four Directions Wangyue experience?

Various thoughts worth pondering entangled and came forth.

Just as Beichuan Si was contemplating and lifted his gaze—

He saw.

On the surface of the dim copper mirror, a woman's visage emerged.

Her eyes were inky black, without any whites, staring fixedly at Beichuan Si, her finger pointing in another direction.

Four Directions Wangyue?!

Beichuan Si stood up and looked behind.

Behind him was the empty cavern, a single glance swept across the deep and bottomless grotto.

But that just now was definitely not an illusion.

Did Four Directions Wangyue appear to tell him something?

If so why didn't she just show herself and tell him everything?

And what about the direction she was pointing...?

Beichuan Si placed the notebook into his backpack and walked in the direction Four Directions Wangyue was pointing.

At the edge of the wooden platform was the dark and cold lake water.

Beyond that, there was a flat-bottomed boat, faintly bobbing along with the fluctuation of the water, a rope tethered to an iron nail on the wooden platform.

Did Four Directions Wangyue's actions just now mean she wanted him to take the boat?

Beichuan Si stepped onto the boat after pondering for a moment.

After all, hesitating on the shore was useless and did nothing to alleviate the current situation.

He cut the rope, and the boat slipped into the channel.

Without Beichuan Si having to control it, the boat continued drifting deeper into the grotto along with the natural water channel.

Seeing this, Beichuan Si did not hesitate to use his technique to leave conspicuous marks on the surrounding rock walls to serve as landmarks, lest he lose his way in this secluded cavern.

Around ten minutes later, the boat finally stopped in an open area.

Beichuan Si looked up at the scene, his expression shifting slightly.

Beside him, Magong Yongshi instinctively uttered,

"Beautiful."

What lay before Beichuan Si was a smooth mountain rock face.

From the cracks in the rock, the water rushed out elegantly, inclining through the air before finally falling into the small, gleaming pool on the left.
