Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Overall, the plan to use clichés failed.

Because the girl fell asleep directly on the pillow the moment she was exhausted.

You're trying too hard.

……

Taiyi opened his eyes and looked at the girl nestled in his arms, then turned his head to look at the direction where the sunlight was shining through the paper door, and sighed silently.

He had tried his best to appear as defenseless as possible.

But neither the parasite nor the other people in the village took any action.

This made Taiyi, who didn't sleep at all in the second half of the night, feel empty-handed.

He suspected it was a competition of endurance.

It all depends on who loses patience and takes action first.

Perhaps it was because of the biological clock, not long after Taiyi opened his eyes, Ashijizi also opened his eyes.

"…Ah, good morning, Master Zai Lai Shen."

The girl who had already sacrificed her first night still called Taiyi as 'God Come Again'.

"I'm really sorry for letting you see such disrespectful behavior." Asi Shizi slowly sat up and bowed to Taiyi.

The movements were smooth, without any interruptions.

If there hadn't been some blood stains still on the bed sheet, Taiyi wouldn't have believed that the other person was someone who had just experienced a storm at sea not long ago.

"It's time for my morning exercise. I'm sorry I can't bathe or change your clothes for you."

"But the maids are here, and they will meet your every need...as long as it does not violate the village rules."

……

It's been a long time since I enjoyed the treatment of having clothes provided for me.

But the maids who were in charge of all this work... gave Taiyi the feeling of being like puppets.

The person pulling the strings is naturally the great witch Nagami Misusu.

Moreover, Taiyi didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that these maids were secretly excluding Sha.

They are all parasitized in the same way?

It seems that even among maids, there are still class distinctions.

Taiyi still enjoyed breakfast alone...If there was any difference from last night, it was probably that he was surrounded by three or four maids who were on standby at all times.

There is a clear division of labor among them.

They were responsible for adding rice, making soup, and supplementing side dishes for Taiyi.

There was even someone who was specifically responsible for holding a white handkerchief and waiting to wipe the corners of Taiyi's mouth.

The people here have great ambitions for the so-called returning God.

Chapter 39: Parasitic Village

This village is in a very bad state.

Taiyi confirmed this fact once again.

Not to mention the Internet, this village doesn't even have electricity or gas.

It is a "paradise" completely separated from all worldly ties.

This village seems to be still living the same life as before the country was opened by the "Black Ship Incident".

Because of this reason, Taiyi could only helplessly turn off his mobile phone selectively and try not to turn it on unless necessary.

After all, there is absolutely no place to charge in this village.

There is only 30% of the battery left, plus a power bank that can charge the phone to 100% once. This is the "electricity" Taiyi can currently use.

The maids who were questioned were troubled by the incomprehensible words and could only report to the "higher-level officials of the village".

But it was like a drop in the ocean, there was no reply from the village leaders.

It was as if they were intentionally trying to further cut off Taiyi's connection with the outside world.

Taiyi even had the illusion that he had come to a "plantation".

So Taichi asked the maids to take him on a tour of the village.

The village leaders didn't seem to have any intention of taking strict precautions, but the maids were still arguing over who would be responsible for leading the way.

In the end, the one who eliminated all the maids was the sudden visitor Nagami Kiyoroshi.

"If Master Zaraishin just wants to visit the village, I'd be happy to oblige."

As expected, this village is quite bad.

Following Xishiliang and listening to her introduction of the layout of the village and some gossip, Taiyi also looked at everyone he could see within his field of vision.

The moment their eyes met, they would straighten their clothes and gestures to salute Taiyi.

But...Himiko, who had already learned from Aix how to identify the characteristics of 'parasite' people, gave a positive answer.

Everyone is parasitized.

Could it be that there is not even one person who "survived" in this village?

As a 'shrine maiden family', the suspicion level of the Nagami family suddenly skyrocketed.

But according to what Himiko said in the meeting in her mind, in terms of the degree of parasitism, the one who was the most seriously parasitized was Ashiki Juuko of the Ashiki family, who had successfully completed her wife duties for the night last night.

Although the situation of the Nagami family is more serious than that of other families, it is not as serious as that of Asiki Juko.

There were so many unreasonable things that Taiyi couldn't grasp the key points.

But there should be no doubt about the importance of Nagami Kiyoshiro and Asiki Jushiko in this village.

However, these two important people were deliberately arranged to be the "one-night wife of the returning god", and even later they had to role-play at the "Shikinen Festival", one as the "god's wife" and the other as the "demon girl".

To be honest, Taichi had already guessed from the "level of ignorance" of this village that the "goddess" and "demon girl" of the "Shikinen Festival" would probably not have a good end.

But when Taichi proposed to meet the 'god's wife' and 'ghost girl' of the previous generation twenty years ago, Nagami Kiyoshi's answer still made Taichi feel creepy.

"I heard that the two disappeared after the Shikinen Festival 20 years ago, and their whereabouts have not been found yet." Nagami Kiyoro blinked and replied, "Some people think that they got lost in the mountains and forests, while others think that they followed the predecessor, the God of the Last Resurrection, and left together."

The expression on Taiyi's face was a little stiff.

Missing?

This also means that life and death are unknown!

The fate of the God's Wife and the Demon Girl at the end of the Shikinen Festival may be worse than Taichi originally expected.

But the most unbelievable thing is, when the outcome could be so bad, why did the chief shrine maiden Nagami Misuzu and the village chief's mother Ashikabi Yachiyo still let their respective daughters serve as the 'goddess' and 'demon girl' of this 'Shikinen Taisai'?

Wait... the selection of the 'divine wife' and the 'ghost girl' couldn't be determined by the 'parasitic depth'!

Then, the reason why the 'god's wife' and the 'ghost girl' disappeared could it be that the villagers... offered them as 'living sacrifices' to the real ghost girl who was supposed to be defeated by the 'young man - visiting god' in the legend?

Maybe even the so-called "Returning God" is...

Are reality and legend opposite?

Weren't the victors back then not the young people from outside and the villagers, but the ghost girl and the villagers?

The real purpose of the Shikinen Festival is to offer sacrifices to the demon girl?

The more Taiyi thought about it, the more likely this idea seemed to be.

At this moment, Nagami Kiyoshi suddenly tugged at Taichi's sleeve.

Under her leadership, the two had arrived at a sparsely populated place.

"Master Shen, could you please lower your head for a moment?" Xishiliang asked Taiyi with a smile.

Although he was already alert, in order to avoid the other party noticing his resistance, Taiyi slowly lowered his head...

Held gently.

Nagami Kiyoshiro gently held Taiyi's cheeks with her small and cold hands, and used her skill to try to move Taiyi's face closer to her.

"Huh?" Taiyi's eyes suddenly widened.

I originally thought that this mysterious-looking girl was planning to do something, but I didn't expect that she was eager to take Taiyi's "lips and tongue".

Although his movements were a little unfamiliar, he was not lacking in knowledge.

At the very least, the knowledge of the double tongue battle was also mastered by this little girl.

Although it was more than just a war of words, Xishiliang still held on to his bottom line with principles and did not offer his chastity to the god in broad daylight.

The mystery level decreased, and at this time, Nagami Kiyoshiro appeared to be a believer who was trying hard to play his role well... and was completely brainwashed.

Taichi could even hear her slurring out words like 'God come again, my God'.

Innocence, purity, charm, fascinating mind... these contradictory adjectives can all be used to describe Yongjian Xishiliang.

It's like a textbook cult.

Taiyi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The so-called great priestess Nagami Misuzu is the founder of the cult.

Yachiyo Ashiki is the deputy?

But these two people may have brainwashed themselves, which is why they showed such a ridiculous side of this village.

After Xishiliang was satisfied to a certain extent, Taiyi finally found an opportunity to get away from her.

He took advantage of her half-conscious state to ask the questions he wanted to explore.

More specific and detailed information about the 'Shikinen Taisai'.

As if some key words had triggered a switch in her heart, the redness on the girl's face quickly faded, and shrewdness returned to her eyes.

Chapter 40: The Legend of Laidai Village

"...I really can't help it. I can't refuse the request of Master Zailai Shen." After staring at Taiyi for a long time, Nagami Kiyoro suddenly let out a sigh and replied helplessly, "But without Mother's permission, I can only say what I can say."

It seems that the content related to the Shikinen Taisai has been strictly banned.

You need the permission of the de facto leader of the village, the high priestess, to communicate with others.

After Taichi nodded in agreement, Nagami Kiyoshiro took Taichi's hand and walked towards Nagami's house.

She said that she would rather hold the "book" and explain it than give a dry narration.

The Nagami family's house is a luxuriously decorated mansion located on a high ground.

The wood used in the corridor is of very fine quality, and the sliding doors and wooden walls beside it are decorated with relief drawings with profound meanings.

It looks like the mansion of aristocrats in old times.

As expected, they are called the 'Three Great Families'.

In comparison, the Sonozaki family, also one of the 'Three Great Families of the Village', is far behind in this regard.

But at the same time, it also shows how terrifying the control of the Nagami family over this village is.

Isolated from the world, yet still able to own such a luxurious house.

Xishiliang's room...it's more like a study than her living room.

Three sides are lined with bookshelves filled with books and scrolls, and the ceiling is decorated with hemispherical wooden objects strung together with golden threads to create various traditional crafts.

After Xi Shiliang entered the room, he walked in a certain direction without any hesitation and pulled out a thread-bound book from the bookshelf.

Taiyi suspected that she must have remembered the placement of all the books and scrolls in this room quite well.

"Master Zai Lai Shen, please take a seat." Xi Shiliang pointed to the cushion next to the low-legged desk and reminded Taiyi, "Next, I will tell you the first story."

Taiyi sat cross-legged on the cushion, looking at Xishiliang quietly, waiting for her information to be decrypted.

"There is such a legend in this Laidai Village." The charm on Xishiliang's face dissipated a little, replaced by solemnity... It seems that she attaches great importance to the telling of this legend.

"A long time ago..." This is the opening sentence of the Past and Present Edition, "About a few hundred years ago."
