Chapter 356: Chapter 254. Memories of the Past (8000 Word Target Achieved)

The system’s cold tone ran through my mind.

’Please choose a reward.’

’One, elevate any good spirit by one level. Two, allow any good spirit to regain consciousness.’

Beichuan Si naturally chose the second option.

But after selecting the second option, Beichuan Si felt only that the radiance of the Shinra Bell had become more dazzling; no other changes occurred, as if the system reward was a fake one.

Beichuan Si wasn’t alarmed.

Although the system’s presence had been precarious recently, the products it released were basically exquisite, without any glitches.

Magong Yongshi inside the Shinra Bell must have regained consciousness. I guessed that his consciousness had not yet fully awakened, hence his absence for the time being.

Setting the matter of the Shinra Bell aside, Beichuan Si turned to look at what he had obtained.

This time, Beiyeliang’s level was at medium-intermediate.

From which, Beichuan Si gained 8 skill points, combined with the previous 4.5, the skill points suddenly reached 12.5 points.

Beichuan Si found that he seemed to have a fate with the number 12.5, as his skill points always seemed to be stuck there, unable to advance further.

But he didn’t mind.

After all, the previous activation of the Death Qi Sculpting skill was very worthwhile.

Beichuan Si planned to keep these 12.5 skill points for a while, to be prepared for unexpected needs.

After all, upgrading any skill now would consume seven or eight points, so he needed to consider his options carefully.

Next was the physical enhancement.

There wasn’t much to say about the physical enhancement. Aside from his physical attributes rising from 60 to 65 points, there weren’t many changes in the data, still seven times that of a normal person, and the death qi also jumped from 162 to 170 points at its maximum limit.

All other data remained unchanged, so no more will be mentioned.

After selecting his reward, Beichuan Si checked his belongings again and, finding nothing missing, slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked towards the camping area—

More precisely, towards Shengong Mu’s residence in the camping area.

He had some matters to discuss with Shengong Mu.

As the main manager of the camping area, Shengong Mu was naturally there.

Beichuan Si saw Shengong Mu sitting outside on an old man’s chair to enjoy the cool air from a distance and approached without a word:

"Excuse me, could we talk for a moment, Mr. Shengong?"

"...Yes, we can. But aren’t you that young man who came asking about Rain Hall?" Shengong Mu squinted his murky eyes as he spoke, suggesting, "I really don’t have any more information about Rain Hall. Young man, you’d better go back."

However, Beichuan Si shook his head. He looked at Shengong Mu and said slowly, "This time I don’t wish to discuss Rain Hall with Mr. Shengong. Instead, I want to inquire about Matsubara Kudayu, Katori Yuzhu, and a few others."

Kudayu? Yuzhu?

Looking at Beichuan Si, Shengong Mu’s face turned various shades of pale and purple, his voice shaky and hoarse as he asked, "How, how do you know their full names?"

Beichuan Si couldn’t care less about Shengong Mu’s shocked expression and continued on his own terms, "I returned to the Western-style mansion and there, I uncovered the main reason for the warden’s murderous acts."

Upon hearing this, Shengong Mu’s unpleasant expression was laced with disbelief, "How is that possible? It was already incredibly unbelievable that you entered once before, but you went in for a second time? And you came back? How could this be?"

Clearly, Shengong Mu knew quite well about the situation inside Rain Hall.

He was even more in disbelief that Beichuan Si could have escaped from Beiyeliang’s clutches.

Struggling, he kept repeating ’impossible’ over and over.

Watching his distressed face, Beichuan Si still had no intention of stopping, "Beiyeliang, in order to revive his daughter Beiyi Zhenming, committed the act of slaughtering children in the welfare institute’s basement."

He held up two fingers, his expression unchanged and as cold as a block of ice:

"But there was one person who discovered what was happening in the basement."

"It was I! I was the one who discovered the basement’s situation! It was I who told everything to Yuzhu and the others!" Shengong Mu seemed desperate to take credit for the discovery, emphatically stressing his point.

"No, it wasn’t you," Beichuan Si corrected in an indifferent tone, "It was Matsubara Kudayu who discovered the basement’s secret, as well as the fact that the warden was secretly abusing the children to death."

Shengong Mu shook his head with difficulty, his words strained, "No... that’s not how it was... it’s not..."

Seeing him like this, Beichuan Si took out the farewell letter from the children in dormitory 1012 he had brought from Rain Hall.

He pointed at a row of text and read solemnly, sentence by sentence:

"During a thorough cleanup, I stumbled upon a secret passage left intentionally in a corner of the courtyard. Driven by curiosity, I entered and discovered many corpses of my peers."

Then he pointed to the name Shengong Mu left on the farewell letter and said calmly, "Your handwriting does not match the handwriting on this letter, so it wasn’t you who discovered the basement’s secret... More precisely, it was you who pushed everyone towards an irreversible fate."

In front of the weeping Shengong Mu, who was covering his face with both hands, Beichuan Si slowly narrated the truth of what happened:

After Matsubara Kudayu discovered the warden’s abuses, he naturally told his dorm mates, Shengong Mu, Katori Yuzhu, Fujiwara Nagachika, and others at once.

But as someone who particularly loved Rain Hall, Shengong Mu naturally would not have believed Matsubara Kudayu’s word alone.
