A journey into an infinite dimension

"give it to me."

So, under the guidance of the navigation, Yukisaki (Kaya), Reina and Yuri followed a small path near the bus stop and entered the mountains.

[Save...save...me...]

Just as she stepped into the mountain, a faint and hazy voice suddenly sounded in Yukisaki's ears, causing her to pause.

"..."

He turned his head calmly to glance at Reina and Yuri, who seemed to be in no state of mind, and then glanced at the multiple vengeful spirits still following them. Then, as if he had confirmed something, Yukisaki (Kaya) did not say anything, but continued to follow the navigation instructions.

At the same time, a sense of interest quietly arose in her heart.

It seems that this trip will not be boring.

Chapter 269: Chapter Title: 彏斶嶥孍孎! 【……? 】

“I can’t find it at all…”

Deep inside the mountains, looking around at the surrounding environment, Reina looked helplessly at the navigation software in her hand that prompted "Arrived at destination" and said helplessly.

"As expected, urban legends are just not believable."

After moving forward for a while, although they had arrived at the destination indicated by the navigation, there was no trace of the shrine, and even the mobile phone signal was gradually getting worse.

"Yes, yes. How could unscientific things like gods and ghosts exist?"

Yuri hugged Yukisaki's arm tightly, her smile looking a little stiff and forced as she agreed.

Yukisaki (Kaya) could understand why she behaved like that.

Because of the location they were in at the moment, there was one or more vengeful spirits hidden behind almost every tree.

Although most of them are low-level vengeful spirits, there are also many that are not weaker than the vengeful spirit behind them.

But Yuli can no longer see these.

But even if she couldn't see them, those secondary ones were enough to scare her.

By the way, perhaps because there is a sense of territory among the vengeful spirits, at this moment, they have been surrounded without realizing it.

However, Yukisaki (Kaya) could see that the target of these vengeful spirits was not the three of them, but the thing following behind them.

Although in Yuli's opinion, these vengeful spirits are targeting them.

"Look again, if you can't find it, go back."

Gently moving Yuri's hand that was holding her, Yukisaki (Kaya) gave her a reassuring look, and then said to Reina.

Judging from Yuli and the situation around her, she probably won't be able to pass through the vengeful spirit's body and leave directly for the time being.

That might make her cry.

However, the way back was blocked, and Yukisaki (Kaya) didn't want to see what was inside the vengeful spirit, so now they only had one choice.

"Why do I feel like you're getting more excited, miss?"

Looking at Yukisaki (Kaya) in confusion, Reina then glanced at Yuri who was holding her hands tightly, and surprisingly did not say anything.

Perhaps it was because she felt that Yuli was very afraid of the current environment, so she didn't care about her hugging her own lady.

"is that so."

With a noncommittal smile, Yukisaki (Kaya) turned around to look at the surroundings, then reached out and gently held Reina's hand.

"This way."

He walked towards a certain direction sensed by the "Mind's Eye" with Yuri and Reina, and the moment he escaped from the encirclement of the evil spirits, Yukisaki (Kaya)'s hand, which was held by Yuri, suddenly threw a talisman behind him.

Ding---

A talisman with a white main body and a red border, and sacred and complex runes outlined on the front, quietly fell into the group of resentful spirits, and then began to spontaneously combust without fire. In the stunned and puzzled gazes of the many resentful spirits, a powerful force with the attribute of exorcism suddenly burst out from it, like the explosion caused by a falling missile. The holy white light swallowed up most of the low-level resentful spirits without hindrance, and also caused some high-level resentful spirits that were close to it to turn into countless black air and evaporate and disappear.

A pillar of spiritual light shot straight into the sky. In an instant, the atmosphere, which had become somewhat cold and gloomy due to the resentment of many vengeful spirits, regained the warmth and warmth unique to autumn afternoons.

However, this was the scene as seen by Yukisaki (Kaya) and Yuri. In Reina's perception, she just felt that a strong wind suddenly blew up behind her without any warning. The wind was so strong that if she had not been held back by her own lady, it would have almost blown her away.

Countless leaves flew up, whether they were fallen leaves on the ground or green leaves on the trees. For a moment, nothing could be seen in the field of vision except the leaves.

“Hey, this is——”

By the time Reina came to her senses from this sudden change, the scenery before her had turned into a long, slightly dilapidated staircase and an ancient torii gate standing at the very end of the staircase.

"Looks like we found it."

Looking back, the scene was no different from when they came, but it had become peaceful and there were no more vengeful spirits. Yukisaki (Kaya) spoke softly.

It seems that her perception and guess were not wrong.

The shrines in urban legends do exist, but not everyone can find them.

Because the shrine exists within a barrier, it cannot be found if certain conditions are not met.

Unless you enter by breaking the barrier violently like she did.

So at this moment, they are already inside the barrier, and the evil spirits outside cannot disturb them for the time being.

"Hey, I clearly didn't see it just now. Was it because I walked over here unnoticed when the wind blew up the leaves?"

Looking around curiously, Reina couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

With such a conspicuous scenery, it is impossible that they didn't notice anything just now.

"Xing Zhihua, just now..."

Yuri, who saw all the noise, looked at Yukisaki (Kaya) beside her and roughly guessed how all the noise happened.

If she saw correctly, it seemed that the cause of that situation was just a talisman.

So the talisman that Xing Zhihua gave me is so powerful?

Yuri subconsciously put her hand on her backpack and couldn't help but think.

Just in case, she also brought the talismans given to her by Yukisaki (Kaya) with her today.

"Those evil spirits can't come in for the time being."

After saying this in a low voice, Yukisaki (Kaya) smiled and spoke to the two of them.

"Let's go up. It's a rare opportunity to come here, so let's go and pay our respects."

"Yeah, I'm fine!"

"That's okay with me too."

Reina, who was unaware of the situation, and Yuri, who felt relieved, both agreed with Yukisaki's proposal.

【help me……】

Purposely slowing down her pace as she walked behind Reina and Yuri, listening to the voices that gradually became clearer in her ears, Yukisaki (Kaya) looked up at the torii gate that was gradually getting closer, and there seemed to be some kind of light flashing in her eyes.

It turns out that even in this ordinary world, there are still many interesting things.

In the future, perhaps I should experience this ordinary life more.

"Wow, it feels so solemn and sacred."

The stairs were not long, so the three of them soon arrived in front of the torii gate and saw the true appearance of the shrine.

The shrine as a whole is not luxurious. It is just like any other small shrine, with only a small temple, two stone fox statues and a money box.

At the same time, whether it is the temple, the stone statue or the money box, they are all covered with moss and dust, which shows how long it has been since anyone came here.

However, this situation actually adds a layer of mystery, antiquity and tranquility to the shrine.

"It's very good."

Nodding, Yukisaki (Kaya) also liked this atmosphere very much.

Then she raised her head and looked at the forehead band above the torii gate, her eyes slightly narrowed.

The handwriting was a little blurry, but it looked like it said "Three Fox Valley".

Is this the name of this shrine?

"Miss, Lan Shen classmate, let's go over to pay our respects quickly and take a photo together as a souvenir."

Rena said with a smile.

Not to mention that this is a shrine with urban legends, just the atmosphere alone makes Reina feel that she has made the right choice.

"You guys go ahead, but remember not to make random wishes. If the urban legend is true, then making wishes come true definitely won't be free."

Yukisaki (Kaya) instructed the two of them.

"understood."

"understood."

They nodded in agreement, and then Reina and Yuri walked through the torii gate together and headed towards the shrine.

He also followed her into the torii gate, but the moment he stepped inside the torii gate, Yukisaki (Kaya) suddenly turned his head and looked in a certain direction, his eyes moving slightly.

[Save me————]

"Later."

After murmuring softly, as if responding to someone, Yukisaki (Kaya) slowly walked behind the two people who were worshipping. After waiting for a moment, she simultaneously and quickly struck both of them lightly on the back of their necks after they finished worshipping.

"Well---"

"Forehead---"

Before they even realized what was happening, and before they even felt a trace of pain, their vision went black at the same time, and they completely lost all perception of the outside world.

"Sorry."

Holding the two gently to prevent them from falling to the ground, Yukisaki [Kaya] gently brought them to the ground not far away and laid them down flat on their backs. Then, she waved her hands and cast several talismans, creating a simple barrier around them.

After doing all this, Yukisaki (Kaya) slowly turned around and looked towards the shrine, and at the same time, Soumamaru appeared in her hand.

In Yukisaki's vision, two figures wearing plain white kimonos suddenly appeared in front of the shrine that was supposed to be empty. Their bodies were bathed in a golden and solemn energy. They looked like foxes, and their overall posture was like that of gods and demons.

"Although I'm not a good person, since your success has aroused my interest, I'll help you out."

Lifting Murasamemaru, Yukisaki (Kaya) smiled calmly as he pointed the sword tip at the two fox users who looked like the incarnations of two stone fox statues.

"You are so beautiful, so charming and charming!"

"Oh, oh ...

As if angered by Yukisaki's tone, the two fox masters raised their fingers and pointed at Yukisaki at the same time, seeming to say something in an angry tone.

"I don't understand. Let your master come out."

The figure standing there slowly turned into a shadow and disappeared. At the same time, Yukisaki (Kaya), who had appeared in front of the two fox masters at some point, said lightly.

"!!!"

"!!"

Not anticipating this scene, the two fox users were obviously stunned for a moment, then quickly retreated, putting some distance between themselves and Yukisaki (Kaya).

Then, the moment they moved, their left hand and right hand were separated from their bodies from the root.

Pah Pah————

The two broken arms fell to the ground, but what flowed out from the broken ends was not blood, but something like burnt leaves.

"Tingtingtingting!"

"The peaks are so steep!"

Both of them couldn't help but feel unbelievable about this scene that they had no idea about.

"So, let your master come out. I'll just do one thing and it will be over quickly."

At this moment, Yukisaki's indifferent smile was almost indistinguishable from that of a devil in the eyes of both of them.

Most masters would not be able to sit still while their servants were humiliated in this way, and the owner of this shrine was no exception.

In the sudden breeze, accompanied by the falling of dead leaves, a solemn, holy and mysterious existence appeared behind Yukisaki (Kaya).

Its entire body is a sickly pale color, and is also bathed in golden light. It has nine slender fox tails and two slender human-like arms. Its posture is as strange and indescribable as a fox or a monster.

This is the being enshrined in this shrine, the so-called 'mountain god'.
