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

Suzuka knew that Miko and Tendo Kagura had a deep relationship, and that the close care she received from these two people was inseparable from Tendo Kagura.

Their relationship wasn't very good before. Although there hadn't been any major conflicts, they hadn't exchanged many words. Jianzi probably didn't have any feelings for her, and she didn't think she was particularly charming or likable.

"What if I want to go?"

Seeing that he might not have explained things clearly enough, he said, "If you go, you'll most likely be in danger."

They can't protect Suzuka all the time; they also have their own missions and need to become stronger.

Suzuka asked weakly, "Could you let me see them?"

That's no problem.

Suzuka got out of bed, and her already thin body seemed to have shrunk even further, becoming skin and bones, like a patient who had been bedridden for many years.

Life essence is not omnipotent. She went through a brush with death, which was like undergoing CPR. The damage to the whole person is irreversible. Even if the potential is pushed to the limit and it is successful, there will still be aftereffects that will accompany her for life.

How much of it was due to the secret medicine? I don't know, but without the secret medicine, Suzuka would probably be very healthy.

Seeing her unsteady steps, Xiao Hua couldn't bear it, so he picked her up and carried her outside.

When the priestess Shimizu first saw Suzuka, she was lying in Xiaohua's arms, like a newborn child, but without any vitality, her whole body exuding weakness.

“Child, you really look like your mother.” The High Priestess Shimizu exclaimed in surprise. The eyebrows and eyes, the iconic widow’s peak, were exactly like those of Ise Kiriko.

Ise Suzuka: "..."

She met the priestess of Shimizu and the two priestesses. She remained silent for a long time, and no one knew what she was thinking. Miko would not try to see into Suzuka Ise's mind.

The High Priestess of Shimizu spoke up, "Child, come back with me. The Shrine will be your eternal home, and we will take care of your health."

Ise Suzuka: "..."

Finally, she shook her head, looking dazed, and murmured, "I'll wait for my brother to come back."

The priestess of Shimizu knew things were going badly. This was her last chance. If Suzuka refused, there would be no turning back. Those two girls were too frightening.

"Your grandmother passed away a few days ago. Don't you want to go back and see her one last time?"

Suzuka Ise froze, unable to accept the fact, her head swayed, and she fainted.

All gods, come swiftly to aid me! If anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu! Chapter 49: Crush this world!

Seeing that Zi was stunned for a moment, he suddenly turned his head, his spiritual power spreading out and fully reviving, causing strange phenomena.

In a world invisible to ordinary people, that dazzling light emanated from her body, making her seem like a living deity.

The High Priestess of the Clear Water retreated. She had lived a long life, seen all kinds of people, and had terrifying experience. She had dealt with people from all walks of life, but none of it mattered at this moment. Neither rhetoric nor experience could be used against a powerful person who was in the midst of rage.

The law of the jungle prevails; the victor takes all.

The instinct for life has been awakened; this is a great terror etched into our genes.

When the strong are angry, the weak must submit; this is an instinct that has been formed since the very distant past, when life first appeared.

"How dare you!" Seeing Zi's anger, his eyes flashed with golden light, and for a moment his voice became heavy, like a heavy hammer blow, shattering the barrier and sending it flying out and crashing into the wall.

But this old woman, who seemed to be on her deathbed, was actually in pretty good physical condition and was unharmed. She must have used magic to protect herself.

The two witches were terrified and hurriedly said, "Wait, the child is alright."

Yurikawa had already lowered her head, exhaling a dense, almost impenetrable essence of life that fell into Suzuka's seven orifices and quickly merged into her.

While physical contact can also transmit life energy, it is too slow and can only be used for gentle nurturing.

However, this method is very taxing on her, equivalent to a major arterial hemorrhage, and cannot be used lightly. If it weren't for the large amount of resources that Kagura left her before she left, she wouldn't dare to squander her life energy like this. Now she has to eat a hundred pounds of meat every day just to barely maintain normal activities.

When Suzuka awoke again, she stood there blankly for a while, neither crying nor showing any sadness. She was only numb and her eyes were filled with death, as if the belief she had held onto for so long had collapsed.

"I'll go with you." Suzuka Ise's tone was flat.

"Suzuka..." Seeing that the girl had calmed down, he didn't know what to say.

'Let her leave.' came the whisper from Kuroko, who had just worked together with Miko.

Seeing that her son was very angry: "How am I going to explain this to him if she leaves like this? Don't you have a brain?!"

"Or will you bring Kagura back? There is no greater sorrow than a broken heart. It's useless for anyone but Kagura to come!" Kuroko retorted angrily, "You piece of trash, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."

'How could you possibly understand what she's been through? Have you ever truly experienced how she's feeling right now? Giving you the power of a spiritual healer is a complete waste!'

She launched into a tirade of insults, some of which were extremely offensive.

After she had vented her anger, she said meaningfully, "Loneliness, despair, sorrow—all the pain of the past will become nourishment. And the secret medicine... I'm actually starting to look forward to her future..."

"Suzuka-chan, are you really going to do this?" Xiaohua asked hesitantly, worried that she might be unable to withstand the shock and have done something extreme.

"Grandma is dead, and my brother isn't by my side anymore. I have nothing left." Suzuka was heartbroken and listless, her eyes filled with darkness, unable to see the light again.

She made her decision, which greatly eased the burden on Priestess Shimizu. A shrine maiden stepped forward, trembling, to take Suzuka from her.

I don't want to stay in this godforsaken place for even a second longer!

Hiratsuka Shizuka lit a cigarette. Leaning against the edge, she witnessed everything and suddenly said, "Wait!"

Everyone looked over at the same time.

Hiratsuka Shizuka calmly tossed away her half-smoked cigarette, casually stomped it on, and said nonchalantly, "Suzuka's guardian is still alive. According to the law, her consent should be obtained, right?"

The priestess of Shimizu was somewhat puzzled, but not wanting to cause any unnecessary trouble, she waved to a priestess and then whispered a few instructions, after which the priestess turned and left.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the shrine maiden pushed the door open again, holding a cell phone in her hand, which she handed to Hiratsuka Shizuka with both hands.

Hiratsuka Shizuka picked it up without even looking at it, and then held it to her ear.

"Shizuka, let Suzuka go with them. I've already agreed to let her become a shrine maiden."

Yoko Endo's voice came from the other end of the phone. Her voice was magnetic, mature, and pleasant, similar to Shizuka Hiratsuka's, but her words were tinged with fatigue, as if she had been awakened from a deep sleep when she received the call.

Hiratsuka Shizuka remembered that Yoko had been on a business trip abroad and it seemed she wouldn't be able to come back anytime soon. She thought to herself, "No wonder she's a capitalist."

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed, "Since you put it that way..."

Yezi knew her friend's temperament well. Xiaojing rarely complained and wasn't the type to drag things out. Although she didn't know how Suzuka ended up at Xiaojing's house, she still explained helplessly.

"There's nothing I can do. That child is quite pitiful. Besides, when I brought Suzuka out, I made a promise to her grandmother that after she dies, I would bring Suzuka to her grave." It's reasonable for the old lady to have this request, but she's very busy with her work and probably won't have time in the future.

So her plan was to have Kagura Tendo take Suzuka back, since that kid wouldn't refuse anyway.

Unfortunately, she got so busy that she forgot about it. If someone hadn't called her today, she probably wouldn't have remembered it for years.

"I'm so sorry, Xiaojing, I'm really sorry to have troubled you. Things are a complete mess here..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka silently lit a cigarette. This guy was a workaholic and rarely complained to others, but every time she talked to her on the phone, he would ramble on and on.

After talking for a few minutes, Ye Zi finally asked, "By the way, where's that kid Tendo Kagura? How did Suzuka end up here?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka remained silent. "So you've only just noticed that your nephew is missing?"

Although she didn't tell the latter herself, didn't she know to call regularly to ask about his recent situation?

She mumbled, "Kagura has something to do and asked me to take care of Suzuka for a while."

"What kind of mess is that brat up to? He doesn't even care about his own sister."

Hiratsuka Shizuka chatted with her in full view of everyone without feeling embarrassed, and retorted, "You have no right to talk about others."

Ye Zi said nonchalantly, "Haha, because I have to work hard."

She had never even been on a blind date. Hiratsuka Shizuka always felt that Yoko's rapid promotion was not just a matter of ability, but probably involved the deaths of many people.

“What’s the point of making so much money if you’re not going to get married?” Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed.

"I just don't want to get married, not because nobody wants me. Work is my life goal, and I need to find something to do. As for the inheritance, I'll leave it to Kagura; he probably won't mind having too much money. Unlike Xiaojing, I can't even find someone to marry," Yezi joked.

Hiratsuka Shizuka felt a sudden pang of pain, so intense that she could hardly breathe.

She yelled in a fit of frustration, "We'll find it eventually!"

Ye Zi laughed and said, "Then please don't send me an invitation, I'm not going!"

"By the way, when you see Kagura, help me teach him a lesson. This kid needs to be disciplined. He's such an honest kid, how come he's started disappearing like this?"

With a beep, the call ended.

Hiratsuka stared calmly at her phone, lit another cigarette, and tossed it to the shrine maiden. The maiden caught it hastily, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, nervously took Suzuka back.

"If anything happens to my sister-in-law, I will raze your shrine to the ground and send that bitch Amaterasu to the deepest hell!"

A cold, evil, and violent voice came through.

In an instant, these people trembled and looked at Jianzi, because the words came from her side. Jianzi frowned deeply.

A witch's teeth chattered; in this era, someone dared to threaten the gods.

Who are these people?

Only Ise Suzuka saw it; standing next to Miko was another Miko.

She had black hair and black eyes, and looked at her with a flippant expression, a half-smile on her face.

'Little sister-in-law, secretly grow up, then crush this world that causes you pain and despair! Hahahaha!!'

Even Miko and Xiaohua didn't realize that this was a special mental link that only Suzuka Ise could see, but she felt no joy or sorrow.

The High Priest of Qingshui fled in a panic, leading his bodyguards and convoy to retreat quickly, as if a raging flood or ferocious beast was chasing after him.

“Jianzi, you…” Xiaohua hesitated, tilting her head to look at Jianzi. She couldn’t believe that the vulgar words she had just heard came from Jianzi.

"Xiao Hua, it's okay, it's just a split personality." Jian Zi sighed, rubbing his forehead.

As she grew stronger, this thing's interference with the mortal world also increased.

The phone vibrated slightly, and Jianzi tapped to open it.

It's an email.

And the sender was—the Human Alliance!

Seeing that Zi squinted her eyes, and then seeing that Baihechuan Hua was also taking out her phone, she must have received the email as well.

"Um, Hiratsuka-sensei, we'll take our leave now. Please feel free to contact us if you need anything," Miko said to Hiratsuka Shizuka.

Hiratsuka Shizuka nodded slightly.

Although Suzuka was sickly and needed care, at least her lifestyle had changed. But in the end, just as she got used to it, she was all alone again.
