As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

Afterwards, through the place of ascension, the shrine made contact with the gods again after a hundred years. A group of important figures in the human world bowed and worshipped them, learning that the gods would return in the near future and that these mysterious forces needed to prepare to welcome their arrival.

Strictly speaking, these mysterious forces knew about the gods' return before anyone else.

However, the shrine was rebuked by the gods, because the secret medicine could play a very important role in the future situation, and now it was being wasted.

The deity told the people of the shrine that the secret medicine had not disappeared with the death of the sinner, nor had it returned to the body of Amaterasu. It still remained in the human world. If they wanted to atone for their sins, they had to find the human who possessed the secret power.

Therefore, the Jingu dispatched its elite troops, who, after several detours, arrived in Chiba, where they were eventually discovered by Miko.

But of course, I couldn't tell Jianzi all these inside stories.

The priest said, "Although the secret medicine can be inherited, it is ultimately not as good as the one who drank it first. Kirito is not a superhuman, so most of it has been transferred to Suzuka's body."

The perfect elixir is extremely potent; otherwise, how could it transform a person so completely? This level of power is already heritable.

One can imagine that the offspring of those psychics who are both gods and humans possess inherent extraordinary characteristics, and can be said to be born with innate talent.

However, similar to the remnants of a divine body, having offspring will also reduce the strength of the spirit medium.

"The secret medicine in Suzuka Ise's body is incomplete, which will burden her and cause her to lack a crucial element. The shrine will help that child complete the missing part."

Seeing her eyes, which shone brightly like lamps, she was a Sequence 8 of the Spiritual Master path, also known as the Mind Reader. As early as Sequence 9, her spiritual power was able to capture the superficial thoughts of mortals.

Now, no mortal can lie to her. She doesn't even need to use her mental powers; she only needs to sense and observe their mental fluctuations to decipher a great deal of information.

The person in front of me speaks very eloquently, using vague language that is mostly true and partially false, concealing crucial information.

But seeing that Suzuka remained calm and composed, he continued, "What do you want Suzuka for?"

The priestess of Shimizu said, "I hope she can succeed her mother as the priestess who communicates with the gods."

lie!

Seeing the piercing gaze in her eyes as she stared at the priest, she slowly said, "I've heard that Ise Kiriko is a sinner who committed heinous crimes. Can you accept her daughter?"

The priestess of Shimizu sensed that Miko's words were softening, but for some reason, she felt a kind of pressure, as if she had returned to the moment when she faced the gods not long ago, and she was very nervous.

She sighed deeply and said, "That matter is over now. The shrine can no longer find a shrine maiden who can compare to Kiriko."

That's the truth.

But then Zi asked, "Suzuka is in very poor condition right now, barely clinging to life. In fact, if it weren't for Xiaohua, she would have died that night. What do you plan to do then?"

Yurikawa nodded firmly, recalling that night when she had really gone to great lengths to pull Suzuka back from the brink of death and get her heart beating again.

But for the priest of Shimizu, this is even simpler.

If the owner of the secret medicine dies without having any offspring, the medicine will remain in their body and be buried in the earth. Depending on the environment, it will transform into other life forms, but after the transformation, it will have little to do with the original person.

Even after cremation, the power of the secret medicine will remain in the ashes.

Some extraordinary properties do not disappear with the transformation of matter, but they can be transferred.

Seeing that Zi's gaze had inexplicably calmed down.

'This secret medicine... is quite interesting.' Kuroko seemed to be deep in thought. She and Miko were two sides of the same coin, sharing the same senses, but she had no say in the matter.

Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as Jianzi knowing something that she doesn't.

"What are your thoughts on Suzuka?" Miko asked, but regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.

'Let them take Suzuka away, and then raze the shrine to the ground. That's the best way to solve the problem,' she said lazily.

Miko had a bit of a headache. Kuro Miko had a completely unrestrained personality and was extremely violent, and this was only because she was keeping her in check.

Moreover, she didn't want it to be like that.

'Suzuka went; it's really dangerous.'

Kuroko said impatiently, 'So this is a perfectly legitimate reason; we'll just kill them all then.'

Jianzi explained: 'Now that all these mysterious forces have just emerged, their true strength is still unknown, so we cannot act rashly.'

Kuroko sneered. She had many reasons for disliking Miko, but this was one of the most prominent: indecisiveness.

She instigated Jianzi to take action, joining forces with Baihechuan Hua. The highest priest was only at Sequence 9, and was no match for them at all.

'Who does that old woman think she can fool? Amaterasu has long since reincarnated, and most of her powerful deities haven't escaped either. This is precisely when the Ise Grand Shrine is weak; we should attack them by surprise. Otherwise, it will be too late once those gods regain their power.'

Seeing the child's suspicion: 'Why do I feel like you're using Suzuka to covet those gods?' Is it because you received some benefit from Yamata no Orochi, and that's why you can't forget about it?

"How could I possibly harm my sister-in-law!" Kuroko declared vehemently.

"Where did this nun come from? Wake up!" Jianzi sighed helplessly and disconnected from Hei Jianzi.

This guy is extreme in his actions and his views are too extreme. If you follow what he says, you might make a profit in the short term, but you will definitely suffer a great loss in the long run.

All gods, come swiftly to aid me! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu! Chapter 48: News of Death!

Unwittingly, Zi used her spiritual powers to perceive many things, and she unearthed a great deal of information from the mind of the Priestess of Shimizu.

"A shrine maiden is someone who can communicate with Amaterasu, the goddess of the gods. This is an immense honor for mortals. Serving the god and conveying divine messages, her status is no less than that of some deities."

The priest described the prospects of this road.

She couldn't understand why there were these people next to Suzuka Ise. Those two girls were even stronger than her. It was unbelievable that they had such abilities when they were so young.

Even in ancient shrines, beings of this caliber are rare; they are definitely figures worthy of being recorded in history.

Seeing Zi sitting on the sofa, tapping the coffee table lightly with his fingertips, his eyes lowered, deep in thought.

With Amaterasu's army wiped out, does the shrine really still need a so-called shrine maiden who communicates with the gods?

This is most likely just an excuse; the real purpose is to bring Suzuka there.

What to do? The divine body that has been transformed into the secret medicine should be unable to be transformed back.

The High Priestess of Qingshui spoke with certainty: "The secret medicine within her body is reviving. Mortals who have not undergone baptism cannot withstand the power of the secret medicine. You are not doing this for her own good, but harming her!"

Seeing that Zi glanced at her indifferently, she knew that this person's words were not true, but she didn't say anything. However, her eyes were very intimidating, like a sharp sword that could see into one's heart.

Just as both sides fell silent, Hiratsuka Shizuka came out of the kitchen with a tea tray.

"The tea is here."

Her family is well-educated, but they haven't learned tea ceremony. This is a drink made by brewing tea with boiled water and black tea bags.

Hiratsuka Shizuka poured a few cups of tea and presented them to Miko and the priestess Shimizu, smiling as she said, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, Suzuka's fate is something we should ask her about herself."

But the High Priestess Shimizu didn't even lift her eyelids. In her eyes, Hiratsuka Shizuka was just an ordinary person, insignificant, merely a tool.

But the girl's reaction surprised her. She noticed that the golden-eyed girl actually looked thoughtful after hearing these words, and then stood up.

"I'll go ask her."

After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked towards Suzuka's bedroom. Yurikawa Hana followed her, and Shimizu Priestess was also about to stand up, but Yurikawa Hana suddenly turned around and smiled brightly.

The priest seemed to have been struck by something violent; he stepped back, sat back on the sofa, and his eyes were filled with fear.

Qualified humans and psychics possess extraordinary abilities, including the ability to perceive strong life auras.

But that girl... no longer has that aura.

In a daze, she seemed to see a raging sea of ​​blood, the mere aura of which could generate substantial power!

The claim that she possesses superhuman power and can kill everyone in the apartment in a minute is true!

……

As soon as Jianzi and Xiaohua entered the bedroom, they saw Ise Suzuka lying half-reclined on the bed, extremely weak, her eyes dim as she looked at them, as if they might go out at any moment.

"Where is Hiratsuka-sensei?" She barely had the strength to speak, her voice barely audible. "I heard people talking outside. Are there guests?"

Xiao Hua sat by the bed, grasped her slender arm, and transferred some vital energy to her, which made her feel a little better.

Seeing that Zi didn't answer her question, she asked softly, "How are you feeling now?"

"I'm fine. Is my brother back?" Suzuka looked at Miko with a faint glimmer of hope in her eyes.

Seeing his hesitation, she shook her head. "It's something else."

With her hopes dashed, Suzuka fell silent for a moment, breathing heavily as if she would stop breathing at any moment.

But Xiaohua continued to infuse her with vital energy, sustaining her condition.

Suzuka didn't know what Miko wanted to see her about. Tendo Kagura wasn't there, and she wasn't dead, so what did she want to see her for?

Are they going to issue a critical condition notice, or are they planning to never come back?

Seeing that Suzuka's face was pale, she sighed softly and said, "Your mother's side of the family has come to see you."

"My mother?" Suzuka was slightly taken aback.

"Your mother's name is Ise Kiriko..." Miko patiently explained the current situation, pausing occasionally to help Suzuka absorb the information.

Suzuka listened silently, then said, "I have no recollection of her."

She was filled with extremely complex emotions.

This cursed body actually came from her own mother.

It's not surprising that Miko is there. There's something fishy about the matter with Kiriko Ise. Even the priestess of Shimizu, who was there firsthand, can't explain it clearly. For example, how Suzuka appeared.

Seeing this, he asked, "What do you want to do?"

Suzuka found it absurd: "You...are asking me?"

She wants to do this? What can she do? She's just a sickly woman who doesn't even know how long she has left to live.

Seeing Zi sigh softly, she said, "I respect your choice."

What if I choose not to go?

Miko whispered, "In Chiba, no one can touch you, not even a god."

Suzuka asked again, "Did my brother say that?"

Seeing that Zi neither admitted nor denied it, but said very seriously, "This is what we should do."
