The mastermind behind this started by creating a strange story

Whether it was the flying insects in the air, the birds in the sky, or even the earthworms underground, they were all gradually rotting under the miasma.

The town at the foot of Mount Fuji has turned into a dead place.

Moreover, the black miasma was spreading rapidly as the resentful ghosts roamed around. There was no way to stop the resentful ghosts. Death was spreading and despair was rampant.

Fujinomiya City, Sengen Taisha Shrine.

The giant skeleton has not arrived here yet, but the vengeful ghosts that got there first have already started killing.

This area is so densely populated that it is not easy to escape. Wailing, screaming, and cursing are everywhere in the area.

Someone got into his car and stepped on the accelerator hard. The car shot out like an arrow, but the vengeful ghost that suddenly appeared caused the car to be destroyed and the people on board to die.

Some people want to hide, thinking that as long as they hide deep enough, they will not be discovered and can survive, but their final end is to turn into a pile of bones in an unknown place.

What's worse, some people took out guns from somewhere and hysterically shot at the vengeful ghosts that appeared around them, but how could physical attacks be effective against vengeful ghosts that had no entity?

The attacker's fate was no different, just like those who sat and waited to die, they turned into a pile of unrecognizable bones.

Whether they are locals or foreigners, their bones after death seem to be no different.

Stimulated by this scene, many people went completely crazy. Some knelt on the ground and prayed with tears, some committed suicide directly with the weapons in their hands. Some even started indiscriminate killing with the weapons at hand, leaving the last bullet for themselves.

I thought that the area under the protection of gods would be the last hope, but now there is only despair.

All this happened less than an hour after the start of the deity-summoning ceremony at Sengen Taisha Shrine.

No one could have imagined this.

Sengen Taisha Shrine, inner sanctum.

All the clergy sat on the ground in despair, staring blankly at the idol of god enshrined at the top, as if questioning why the god didn't save them.

The priests in high positions are no different from those lower-level priests at this moment. At the end of the world, all beings are equal.

Reimu Furude sat on the ground with her back against the wall, her arms wrapped around her legs, her head resting on her knees in a daze.

After despair, all that was left was numbness, the numbness of waiting for death. Even if she had the ability to destroy evil spirits, it was ultimately just a drop in the bucket.

Rather than giving people hope that is impossible to achieve, it is better to tell them about despair from the beginning.

The most cruel thing is to give hope that cannot be realized.

Listening to the low sobs of the people in the inner hall, or the heavy breathing in despair, Furude Reimu's eyes were dull. She was just an ordinary person in her early twenties. Although she had the identity of a shrine maiden and possessed incredible powers, she was just an ordinary person after all.

She was very young and had no life experience. The farthest place she had ever been to was the next county. She was just an ordinary girl, a young girl who had just come out of the ivory tower.

Even her incredible power was just an accident a month ago. At that time, she only wanted to show her strength in the palace chief selection meeting, and then become famous in one fell swoop, rise to the top, and become the new palace chief.

At that time, she thought she was the heroine in those cartoons, having adventures and starting an extraordinary life.

Moreover, at that time, she could never have imagined what would happen a month later. What she thought about most was the dream life she would have after gaining power.

But life is so changeable. Now that the naked reality is revealed before her, Reimu Furude finally understands that she is just an insignificant NPC. Even if she has different powers, the final result cannot be changed.

"If that's the case, why did you allow me to obtain this power... this magical power that can't solve any problems."

Furude Reimu hugged herself tightly with her arms, muttering to herself with a sad look on her face.

It was as if life had played a not-so-funny, even sad, joke on her.

"Zhukong..."

"Oh right, Takesora!!!"

Suddenly waking up, Furude Reimu finally remembered that there was someone who could solve her current predicament, the mysterious bookstore owner who gave her mysterious power!

I had just fallen into despair and isolation, and hadn't even thought about this before. Until I just woke up, I finally remembered the other person who could solve the problem.

Reimu Furude didn't think about what to do if she couldn't deal with Takesora either. Instead of falling into complete despair, at least there was still a glimmer of hope!

Just now, Reimu Furude's sudden cry of surprise made all the priests in the inner hall look at her in silence, but Reimu Furude had no intention of explaining. Instead, she suddenly stood up from the ground and ran towards the door.

"Furubute..." Masato Sakurai, who was slumped on the ground, stretched out his hand towards Furubute Reimu, his voice sad.

Furude Reimu paused, looked around, and found that everyone was staring at her. Although her face was numb and miserable, there was a glimmer of light in her eyes.

I have a way. She was about to blurt out these words, but her lips trembled for a moment, and Furude Reimu finally swallowed the words.

She was unsure, she didn't dare to give hope, and then get greater despair.

With her eyes closed and her heart made up, Furude Reimu walked towards the door without looking back, completely ignoring the expectant looks of the people around her.

Seeing that the Son of God Gushou remained silent, the priests' hearts, which had risen up, gradually fell back to their lows, and the light in their eyes dimmed again.

Masato Sakurai's lips trembled for a moment, but eventually turned into a long sigh.

"Ugh……"

"Squeak~"

The door opened and there was no one outside the hall, but Reimu Furushe seemed to see the expressions of those people again in a trance.

Bewildered, lost, hopeless, desperate, helpless...

Shaking her head, Reimu Furude emptied her mind and stopped thinking about what happened before. She had more important things to do now.

According to past experience, Zhukong would usually take her to the mysterious bookstore from her room, and she had no way to contact him, so she could only try her luck.

Maybe the moment she entered the room, she suddenly appeared in the bookstore!

quick!quick!quick!

Urging herself in her heart, Furushe Reimu was extremely anxious. Time was running out. She could clearly see that the huge skeleton was less than a kilometer away from here!

He tried his best, and his hair was stuck to his face by sweat. Although the blood on his forehead had already scabbed over, it still caused waves of pain.

Reimu Furude doesn't care about those things. She must grasp the only hope in despair!

"Squeak~"

He pulled the handle hard and pushed open the door, and what he saw was the familiar layout of the house.

“Pah!!!”

With a hook of her feet, Furuto Reimu lost her balance and fell to the ground with a thud.

Through the gaps between the scattered hair, Gu Shouling dreamed that the house was still the same house, so he did not get up, but just lay on the ground and begged out loud.

Chapter 215 Underworld

"bamboo……"

As soon as she uttered the single syllable, Furude Reimu suddenly felt her body lighten, as if floating in the air, but this feeling did not last for half a second before it suddenly disappeared.

"Why are you so embarrassed?"

Hearing the familiar voice beside her ear, Furude Reimu suddenly felt a lump in her throat and almost cried.

This feeling is like being trapped in a dangerous situation where death is inevitable, with enemies on all sides and myself alone and helpless. I originally wanted to sacrifice my life to retain the last bit of dignity for myself.

But suddenly, there was the reassurance of having a friend who could solve everything.

"me……"

"I see. Alas, I never expected things to turn out like this."

Takesora pulled up Reimu Kote who was lying on the ground, took out a handkerchief and wiped the dust off her face, with a look of pity in his eyes.

"Take it, this can solve everything outside."

Without waiting for Furude Reimu to speak, Takesora took out a book from the air as if performing magic.

A tattered, black-covered ancient book.

There were two large blood-red characters on the cover, so bright red that it seemed as if blood could drip from it. As soon as the ancient book appeared in the world, the air seemed to be filled with the roars of wronged souls.

"Yellow Spring?"

Suddenly a book was stuffed into her hand. Reimu Furude subconsciously looked at what was in her hand. The big bright red words rushed into her mind, and it seemed as if a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood appeared before her eyes.

An endless road spanned across a sea of ​​blood. The surrounding mountains of corpses let out painful roars, like the tortured in hell.

With just one glance, Reimu Furude's consciousness instantly sank into a mountain of corpses, and she seemed to have become a sinner being tortured in a sea of ​​blood.

The sins are imposed upon you, there is endless punishment, and there is no light of day.

"Ah ah ah..."

Her eyes lost all color, and Furushe Reimu stood there in a daze, mumbling something, and she had fallen into an endless illusion of hell.

"Snapped!"

With a slight sound, his eyes instantly became clear.

"what……"

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, the moment he regained consciousness, Furushe Reimu broke out in a cold sweat.

She almost thought that she was really a sinner being punished on the endless mountain of corpses, and her consciousness fell into the eternal punishment of sin.

"Use the energy in your body to bless yourself, otherwise you will fall into the underworld again."

Holding the book tightly in her hand, Reimu Furude was filled with fear and wanted to throw the book away. However, when she thought that this was the last way to deal with the outside world, she did not dare to throw it away. She could only endure the coldness in fear and not read the book.

But Zhukong's sudden words gave her a way. Hearing this, Furushe Reimu hurriedly circulated energy throughout her body.

The cool energy flowed through the body, and the biting cold was like snow under the scorching sun, melting away in a moment.

She suppressed her fear and glanced at the big red words. Seeing that there was no effect, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Was that Yomi Hirasaka just now?" Seeing Takesora acquiesce, Furude Reimu asked again, "Then what should I do..."

"Just use the energy in your body to activate it. Then the gate to the underworld will open and those ghosts will return to where they belong."

"Don't worry, this thing will definitely work!"

"I understand!"

All that needed to be said was said, and with a wave of his hand, a gate of light appeared behind Kote Reimu.

"Go ahead, this door leads directly to the outside world!"

"Ok!"

Nodding heavily, Furude Reimu hugged the Book of the Underworld tightly in his arms. Without asking any other questions, he turned around and strode out of the light gate.

She didn't ask what the price was. After all, the most important thing now was to solve the problem outside. Once it was solved, she would not hesitate no matter what the price was.

Since Zhu Kong is willing to help her, it means that she must be worth the price, otherwise Zhu Kong probably wouldn't even show up.

Of course, the little witch, who had made great determination, did not expect that if she did not come, Zhu Kong would also take action.

After all, this was a mess created by Zhu Kong. If he really just ignores it, it won't have much impact on him, but it will still make people uncomfortable.

"Tsk, what a bad idea! That guy Oshima Sho actually gathered all his grievances and launched a massive explosion!"

Takesora, also known as Shenkong, looked at what happened on his system and could check every detail of Oshima Sho from his birth to the end.

This is his ability. The system is his anyway, so it’s okay to say it’s his ability.

However, Shenkong did not expect things to turn out like this. What should Oshima Sho say? It is no exaggeration to say that it was unexpected.

Clearly, this vengeful ghost at the beginning was a tool ghost used to increase the reputation of the little witch, but unexpectedly it turned into a big boss in the later stage in a blink of an eye.

Even novels don't dare to write like this. It feels like a minor villain who originally provided experience to the protagonist in the early stages, suddenly turned into a major villain who appeared at the very end.

Moreover, this villain has no moral principles and directly attacks the protagonist who has not grown up in the early stage, trying to strangle the protagonist in the cradle.

Is this good? This is not good!

"Ignoring these creations and letting them develop on their own really gives me a different feeling."

After Shenkong transformed Oshima Sho into a vengeful ghost, he no longer cared about the matter, but went abroad to investigate the place where the new god appeared.

Although whether the gods appear or not is up to his mind, there must be a sense of ritual, right? Just like the original wolf tooth pendant, he could obviously create it out of thin air, but he insisted on spending money to buy a wolf tooth. It was all for the sense of ritual!

Now that we are living completely as we please, it is natural to add some sense of ritual to our life.

After completing the overseas investigation, Shenkong, who had been traveling for a month, returned to the island country and found that the situation was a little different from what he had expected.

The shrine maiden, who should have become famous, did not stand out and was not even well-known.

The Sengen Taisha Shrine, which was supposed to serve as the background, has somehow attracted the attention of the entire country and even the world, and a festival to invite gods is planned to be held.

The vengeful ghost that was cannon fodder in the early stage suddenly turned into the final boss, and even turned more than one city into a place of death.
