"What's... happening?"

The moment the barrier was lifted, the three women present couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

After a particularly loud clap of thunder, the entire funeral home fell silent again, as if the sound had been stripped away from the world.

"Crack!"

The silence bred unease, causing Sakuragi Hitomi to instinctively reach out and slap the wall, releasing the barrier again.

However, compared to the speed of covering the entire space instantly as before, it was now extremely slow.

"Crack... crack..."

When the barrier reluctantly spread across the room, only then did Sakuragi Hitomi breathe a sigh of relief.

Everything quieted down as if nothing had happened.

"So, it's really possible..."

An Le looked at the door over there for a long time and then turned back to speak.

"Boom!"

However, the next second, the entire barrier behind her collapsed instantly, emitting a violent explosion.

"Hiss!"

Sharp pain immediately shot through Sakuragi Hitomi's head, causing her to clutch her head and kneel on the ground in agony.

"Sakuragi!"

An Le's face changed, and she quickly turned around to look.

She saw a terrifying figure with golden hair shining brightly but a face covered in shadows walking towards them.

"A... Aria?"

Seeing that figure, An Le instinctively spoke.

But for some reason, An Le's heart surged with an endless aversion to the girl's appearance.

Why did Aria suddenly come out to cause trouble?

It was like this before, she broke the promise to help me pursue Xiao Huan, she betrayed me...

"!!"

When these long-past events resurfaced in her mind, An Le immediately realized something was wrong and clutched her head.

"What on earth..."

She turned to look at Tong Yingying and Sakuragi Hitomi and found them with the same instinctive look of disgust on their faces.

"What's going on?"

At this moment, in Aria's eyes, everything in front of her was distorted and horrific.

The floor and walls around her had twisted into flesh, and the girls in the corridor couldn't distinguish between birds and pigs, only seeing three distorted monsters standing there...

Two of them were entwined by different fingers.

On the floor, eagle feathers were scattered all around.

The ethereal eagle feathers spread all the way until they stopped at the tightly closed tool room door behind Sakuragi Hitomi.

"Ye... Shi... Yu..."

Like a demon king, Aria instantly realized that Ye Shiyu was there.

The moment she spoke, Sakuragi Hitomi's eyes narrowed.

She knew about the president!

How could it be...

Sakuragi Hitomi didn't know either, but it was undeniable that:

Aria was currently in a very bad state!

"Aria, it's me!! I'm..."

To prevent the situation from worsening further, Sakuragi Hitomi gritted her teeth and stood up, just about to speak, but was taken aback.

Then, she frowned and lowered her head in confusion,

"What... what is my name again?"

"?!"

Next to her, An Le couldn't believe what she was hearing and looked at Sakuragi Hitomi in shock.

She just happened to see strands of golden light escaping from Sakuragi Hitomi's body...

And then flying towards Aria.

Sakuragi Hitomi's name...

Was stolen by Aria?!

"Open the barrier! Quick!!"

Seeing this, An Le realized something was terribly wrong.

She quickly ran to Sakuragi Hitomi and pressed her hand against the wall.

"Crack crack crack!"

The moment the barrier was opened, the name that had been absorbed by the black hole in the space paused mid-air.

And at that moment, Sakuragi Hitomi finally remembered her name was "Sakuragi Hitomi."

She looked at Aria, who was still walking towards them, in horror, and quickly turned to An Le,

"We must stop Aria!!"

With that, she took the first action, whispering a few words,

"Aria is prohibited from moving here!"

"Crack!"

However, as soon as the command was issued, it sank into the sea without any effect.

Aria continued to move forward.

The barrier's rules had no effect on Aria at all!

Can only be resolved physically?

"Damn it... Aria, calm down!!"

"Rumble!"

So, Sakuragi Hitomi gritted her teeth, planning to strike the ground fiercely to create countless stone pillars to pin Aria down.

"Slap!"

In front of her, Aria's face was unclear, only a pair of horns emitting an invisible wave.

In an instant, Sakuragi Hitomi felt something binding her body.

She looked down and saw her suit betraying her, wrapping tightly around her body, suffocating her.

"Ugh!"

Sakuragi Hitomi's face flushed slightly, and she quickly cast strengthening on herself within the barrier.

But in the next second, with a slight lift of Aria's finger, her clothes slammed her hard to the ground.

"Damn... damn it!!"

Sakuragi Hitomi tried to struggle up, but her clothes pressed on her like the Five Elements Mountain, rendering her immobile.

Beside her, An Le hesitated.

After all, Aria's target seemed to be Ye Shiyu, and her target was also Ye Shiyu, so there was no conflict.

Both for... revenge...

Huh?

For...

Who again?

An Le was slightly taken aback, turning to look at Aria's direction.

She saw threads of golden strands being pulled from her forehead by Aria's horns.

Within them, many images could be vaguely seen.

Xiao Huan kissing her...

Xiao Huan sleeping peacefully...
