These words made the hearts of people who had just breathed a sigh of relief rise to their throats again.

"But today is a happy day, and I won't pursue it any further."

Shinomiya Kaguya said these words with a smile, but her originally gorgeous smile made everyone shudder. Some of them remembered the reason why Shinomiya Kaguya invited them here - a real festival.

But no one dared to bring this up at the moment, the reason was very simple, because the original sacrifice was Kaguya Shinomiya herself!

"I think everyone here is an important figure in Tokyo and knows what day it is today. But for our distinguished foreign guest, Mr. Albert, it is not so easy to understand our traditions."

Kaguya Shinomiya extended a delicate hand to Albert, and Albert noticed at this moment that even under the illumination of the scarlet moonlight, her skin was still as white as snow, and if he looked closely, there seemed to be light flowing beneath her crystal clear skin.

Albert was not afraid and took the jade in his hand. It was icy and soft and felt great to the touch.

Shinomiya Kaguya smiled, exerted a little force, and the two of them stood up together.

They are like a perfect match made in heaven.

"Albert, you may not know that there is a custom that has been passed down in our land of Japan since ancient times."

"That is, every 25 years when a bad year comes and demons start to cause trouble, people will choose a witch to offer sacrifices to ask the gods to come and resolve the disaster."

"This ridiculous tradition has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. Do you know why?"

"Look at those fools who have stuffed their brains with nonsense. These cowards who are greedy for life and afraid of death, for the sake of their own power and status, use the name of protecting the people from the evil spirits to continue this so-called tradition and are superstitious about it."

"It's so ridiculous."

Speaking of happy things, Shinomiya Kaguya scratched Albert's palm intentionally or unintentionally.

"Then Miss Shinomiya, this year's miko must be..."

"That's right. Those old immortal creatures who secretly control this country decided on the next miko twenty years ago. That is the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family."

Shinomiya Kaguya looked at Albert for a moment, without hiding her identity.

Then she looked at the group of people below who were all terrified. "But, these self-proclaimed smart fools are just pawns pushed out by those old guys. What's funny is that these people even take those childish lies as the truth."

As Kaguya Shinomiya revealed the truth, the faces of those who had already noticed it but were unwilling to believe it suddenly changed.

"No, don't say that, Miss Shigong. Just, just sacrifice those people, and everything will be fine!"

Not daring to blame Kaguya Shinomiya, they turned their attention to the "traitors".

"Haha, stupid, let me tell you right now, these traitors were sent by those old guys to deal with me. If I hadn't known everything very well, I'm afraid you would have to watch another good show tomorrow."

Then Shinomiya Kaguya said disdainfully: "Do you know why they didn't choose you? It's because you are too stupid. You are not even qualified to be used against me."

"So look and listen well, fools, it's not easy to bring a little truth to your heads full of lies and lard."

Shinomiya Kaguya waved her other little hand, and the whole banquet hall suddenly shook violently.

"Click! Click! Click!"

The sound of machinery operating was heard, followed by a slight feeling of weightlessness. Everyone looked at themselves getting farther and farther away in shock on the ceiling.

It turned out that the entire banquet hall had been converted into a huge elevator, carrying everyone into an underground abyss with no end.

Chapter 55 The truth about the demon

The roar stopped and the vibration of the banquet hall gradually subsided. The guests riding this hell elevator finally reached their destination.

The pale light then turned on, illuminating the extremely empty underground space.

The location of the banquet hall at this time is very unique, it is located in the center of a huge stone bridge.

The bridge deck on the left was reinforced with modern building materials, and a huge experimental facility was rebuilt with it as the main body, almost completely occupying the underground space on the left side of the banquet hall.

As for the bridge deck on the right side, no repairs have been made and it remains bumpy. At the same time, a large number of imperial coins are erected on the edges of both sides of the bridge. Upon closer inspection, the imperial coins, which should have been blank, are covered with black dirt-like symbols.

At the end of the bridge is a huge stone platform, and at the entrance is a blackened torii gate that looks extremely old.

"Everyone, welcome to the gate of hell."

At some point Kaguya Shinomiya took out a folding fan from her sleeve, half covering her face and spoke to everyone.

On the white fan there was only calligraphy written in ink: MOON.

While Kaguya Shinomiya was explaining to everyone, Albert and Lucy looked at each other.

Lucy touched her temple with her fingers, and Albert nodded. After the two of them exchanged glances, they did not exchange any more words.

As for Fujiwara Chika on the side, she was already frightened and at a loss. She kept looking at Lucy for help, but the other party had no intention of paying any attention to her.

As Kaguya Shinomiya spoke, the door of the laboratory on the left side of the banquet hall opened, and a group of robot porters walked out one after another.

Under the horrified gaze of the guests, the porters dragged or carried the traitors one by one towards the right end of the stone bridge.

"This should be your favorite part," Kaguya Shinomiya said to the guests with a smile.

"Before, it was a poor girl who was put in that kind of place."

"Now it's these people's turn. I'm afraid it's karma."

"Master Shigong, can the seal really be completed in this way?..."

The man named Shigehiro Miyamoto stood up trembling and asked.

"Mr. Miyamoto is really stupid?"

"Didn't I tell you that those old guys are all lying to you? There's no such thing as a witch to pray for gods to ward off disasters?"

"The so-called witches summoning the gods is just a cover for those old guys to obtain the so-called power of the gods. Otherwise, they would have turned into ashes long ago, and there would be no position of power in the world today."

"As for the small favors they gave you after gaining those powers, they were just to make you believe these lies."

"And those so-called demons..."

Shinomiya Kaguya pointed to the altar over there. Behind the torii gate, there were eight stone pillars on the altar with many chains wrapped around them.

The transport robots placed the traitors outside the altar, ready to "use" them at any time.

"As you can see, there are only a bunch of broken pieces left, so there is no way it can come out and cause trouble."

"Then what's outside now..."

Shigehiro Miyamoto widened his eyes. He couldn't believe that the things he feared had actually been reduced to ashes long ago.

"As for those outside, they are new creatures. These so-called demons all depend on humans for their existence. It is human desires that drive their birth. Therefore, no matter how many are destroyed, as long as humans still exist, new demons will still be born."

Kaguya Shinomiya revealed the truth about ghosts and monsters to everyone present.

After listening to Kaguya Shinomiya's opinion, Albert also looked at the sixteen-year-old girl with admiration. He did not expect that she had made such achievements in the study of psychic power.

In fact, what Kaguya Shinomiya said is basically correct. All psychic creatures that exist in this world are born from the movement of the sea of ​​souls, and the driving force behind their birth is emotional psychic energy.

Therefore, they will instinctively feed on certain emotions of living things. For example, Tomie, whom we met before, can absorb negative emotions from humans to enhance her own abilities.

Just as people will starve to death if they do not eat for a long time, the same is true for these psychic creatures. Traditional demons that have been sealed for a long time will enter a state of death due to their inability to absorb energy for a long time. However, they are not like humans who are dead and that’s it. Their death is often the death of consciousness, and the existence they symbolize will become fragmented as it gradually deviates from the original concept (the image has been gradually modified in various ways during the historical development).

This resulted in what Kaguya Shinomiya called "fragments that can't be put together."

Faced with such a truth, a terrible guess emerged in the guests' minds.

"Yes, those old guys are just as disgusting as you think. For your loyalty and their own power, they allow new monsters to be born, and then come out to clean up the mess."

It was as if Kaguya Shinomiya had the same mind-reading ability as Albert, and she ruthlessly exposed what was in people's hearts.

"So, Miss Shinomiya, you want to..."

After the collapse of faith and extreme fear, everyone couldn't help but have a question in their mind: what exactly is Shinomiya Kaguya's purpose? Since the so-called shrine maiden's invitation to the gods is fake, then what are these traitors for now?

Instead of explaining to them, Kaguya Shinomiya chose to prove everything with her actions.

"Let's begin the real festival."

“Snap!” “Snap!” “Snap!”…

The sound of clean and neat cutting of flesh and blood was heard on the altar. Sharp knives popped out from the hands of the transport robots, which grabbed the traitors' heads and cut open their aortas.

"No, don't, ow!"

The smell of blood and screams filled the altar for a moment. The horrific scene before their eyes made some of the guests feel nauseous.

At this time, someone noticed that another transport robot walked out of the experimental facility. This time it was pushing a cart with a large experimental tank on it.

Some kind of polymer of metal and flesh and blood was floating in the liquid in the experimental tank, showing a state of black and red infecting each other.

When the robot pushed it onto the altar, the massacre there had just ended, and a pool of warm blood had gathered in the center of the eight stone pillars.

The bodies of the traitors were thrown casually beside the altar, and before they died, they looked at the onlookers with horror in their eyes.

"Although those old demons can no longer reappear in the world, I have found a way to recycle them."

Kaguya Shinomiya looked at Albert, pointed to the altar over there, and showed him her achievements.

"The first thing to do is to awaken their broken spirits from the seal. The easiest way is to use the blood sacrifice that the demons love the most."

As if in response to Kaguya Shinomiya's words, rows of ripples began to appear in the originally calm blood pool, and the sealing stone pillars also began to tremble violently.

"Click! Click! Click!"

The rusty chains broke one after another, and a cold and evil aura enveloped everyone present.

These people who have lived in the technological age since childhood have never seen such a scene.

Even Lucy's system was constantly sounding alarms.

"Warning, abnormal energy is rising!"

In Albert's sight, he could see that the life energy that would have naturally dissipated with the death of life actually gathered in the blood pool and was quickly absorbed by something.

"roar!---"

With a shrill roar, the eight stone pillars suddenly collapsed, and the blood pool quickly dried up. The guests trembled all over, looking at the scene in front of them with horror on their faces.

It was a red head of an evil ghost with long horns and fangs, and a bloody smell constantly emanating from its mouth. A very smooth cut could be seen on the neck.

At the same time, when it appeared, everyone smelled a scent of stale alcohol amidst the smell of blood.

"I'm sure everyone who is familiar with the classics knows what this is."

Shinomiya Kaguya smiled and looked at the evil ghost head floating in the air.

Chapter 56 Cyber ​​Ghost

At this point the guests could no longer stand still. They had already endured a blow that was enough to shatter their worldviews in a short period of time, and now they were forced to look directly at such an evil thing as the demon's soul.

Accompanied by the strange roars of the evil ghost's head that kept twisting and struggling in the air, the weak-willed guests could not control themselves and walked towards the ghost head.

Shinomiya Kaguya had no intention of stopping it, or rather, this was the result she wanted.

This is also the reason why she has kept these people until now. The blood sacrifice is only to awaken the souls of evil spirits, and the real soul sacrifice is the highlight.

After taking a look at the lost soul of Fujiwara Chika, Lucy thought for a moment, grabbed her clothes, and knocked her out with a palm, which saved her life.

The current situation is no longer something Lucy can participate in. All she has to do is record everything that happens here and prepare for the future.

Shinomiya Kaguya did not stop Lucy's little tricks. A mere Fujiwara Chika was nothing to her.

Finally, only four people were left at the banquet. All the other guests were seduced by the evil sound and entered the altar like zombies.

Soon, a horrible scene appeared.

The evil ghost head naturally had no reason to let go of the food that was delivered to its door. It instinctively opened its mouth and a siphon force emerged from it.

The lured prey were forced to open their mouths, and streams of spirits of various colors were drawn from them and sucked into the fanged mouth of the evil ghost's head.

“Gurgle…Gurgle…”

A chilling swallowing sound echoed in the empty underground space.

After devouring the souls, the evil ghost head did not even let go of the flesh and blood of the guests. It opened its bloody mouth and bit, chewed, and swallowed them one by one.

After enjoying the soul and flesh of the sacrificed guests, the evil ghost's head became more solid, and its loose hair burned and rose up like the Avici fire of hell.

"Roar!!!!"

Hearing this terrifying roar, Kaguya Shinomiya's eyes flashed, and she knew it was time.

"Now let me show you what I have achieved so far."

Following her order, the experimental tank originally placed on the altar began to start.

A wave of white light spread out from the generator on the top edge of the jar.
