After getting lost in the abandoned village, they gradually became confused and infatuated

"But I really can't think of any other way...and my free time is very limited."

"I'm deeply sorry if any offense was caused."

The serious atmosphere made Kotani Hayabusa's nerves tense.

Lean forward slightly, lean in, and listen carefully.

And Amaterasu Miko also revealed the most important content of this conversation.

"Do you...want to take charge of this shrine?"

"Become the real owner of this shrine?"

Unexpected, but reasonable.

After hearing these words, Optics Valley Falcon's pupils shrank slightly.

After Amaterasu Miko caught Mitsutani Hayabusa's emotions, she felt secretly happy in her heart.

"What do you mean by that?"

Amaterasu Miko didn't hold back and answered straight to the point.

"I think you should know."

"Because you recast the seal of the Gate of Underworld, the shrine has finally become stable from the turmoil."

"The witches finally no longer have to live in fear and can live a normal life."

"The stability in life has also changed the thinking of the shrine maidens. Some people hope that you, as the heir to the Kotani family bloodline, will replace the current leader and become the true owner of the shrine."

"This way, this stable life can continue forever."

"However, there are still some people who are unwilling to accept you, thinking that you are just an outsider after all. When you leave, the seal will eventually be broken again, and the shrine will eventually return to the way it was in the past."

"It's all just a blip."

"And these two concepts naturally formed two completely opposite factions."

“Conformity versus Opposition.”

Of course Optics Valley Falcon knows.

More than one person had told him this, and his ears felt numb.

Amaterasu Miko continued.

"As an Amaterasu shrine maiden, I have witnessed the tragic sacrifice of too many of my companions over the years for the seal of the Gate of Underworld."

"Among them, there are also our close friends, relatives and friends..."

"I don't want this tragedy to continue."

"so......"

"On behalf of all members of the Compliance Sect, I sincerely hope that you will officially join the shrine and become the real owner here."

"Guide us so that we are no longer confused and no longer afraid."

"Lead us completely out of this tragic fate..."

After listening, Guanggu Falcon began to ponder.

"That is to say, you are actually a conformist...and you are also their leader."

Amaterasu Miko nodded.

"To be precise, it was me who established the Compliance Faction with the help of Komainu, Ashina, and other Takamamahara shrine maidens who had the same idea."

Optics Valley Falcon did not immediately agree, but continued to ask.

"You want me to inherit the shrine...but you said before that the real ruler of the shrine is someone else."

"Can I understand it that way?"

"You want me to lead the witches to completely overthrow these rulers?"

Amaterasu Miko's golden eyes shone with determination.

"Yes."

"The power of the Shrine Compliance Faction is greater than you imagine."

"If you really agree, we can even gather everyone together tomorrow night and take direct action."

Optics Valley Falcon was silent.

There is no agreement and no objection.

He just quietly observed the girl in front of him, who was very short in stature but had exceptionally bright eyes.

Previously, she used the example of holding the emperor hostage to order the princes to describe her situation.

At present, Mitsuya Hayabusa also uses another well-known story from the Three Kingdoms period, "Yidai Zhao" to describe the current situation.

A controlled puppet, eager to get rid of control and regain sovereignty, so he plotted a plan.

only......

Optics Valley Falcon was a little worried.

After being silent for a long time, Optics Valley Falcon asked in a low voice: "I think you have been planning this for a long time."

"Yes." Amaterasu Miko replied seriously: "I had this idea before you entered Jixiang Village."

"It's just that there has never been a variable that could shake the foundation of the shrine, and my plan has never been able to be implemented."

"Now, you appear in Jixiang Shrine as the blood heir of the Kotani family. You are the biggest variable and the only chance I have to implement my plan."

Optics Valley Falcon continued to ask.

"In that case, who knows your plan?"

Amaterasu Miko thought for a moment and replied, "Only some of my confidants know."

Kotani Hayabusa asked again: "So...how sure are you that there are no undercover agents of the opposition among these confidants?"

Chapter 358 Keen Perception

Amaterasu Miko was stunned for a moment by the question, and was speechless for a moment.

Kotani Hayabusa tapped the table with his fingers and asked in a very serious tone.

"Didn't you just say that you are just a puppet of those above?"

"If we want to completely control you and monitor your every move, we will naturally need some manpower and undercover agents."

"I don't think the shrine is stupid enough to let you do whatever you want."

"So, your plan is very likely to be a trap set by others from the beginning. The purpose is to lure others into it and then catch them all."

"To make this trap look more real and more disguised."

"The shrine deliberately allowed you to develop, to prepare plans little by little, and to form a conforming faction little by little."

"Once you take action, I think the shrine will most likely know the details of the action first."

"At that time, the conforming members you organized will be nothing more than fat on their lips. They can eat it whenever they want."

"Even, think about the worst."

"At this moment, your meeting with me in this small house is just part of the trap."

Mitsutani Hayabusa's words directly silenced Amaterasu Miko.

It could be seen from her expression that she was obviously a little shaken.

But it's not just her stubbornness, there are other reasons.

She was indeed vigilant enough, but she still did not fully agree with Optics Valley Falcon's remarks.

"I understand your concerns."

"But these confidants of mine have been following me for many years...just like the Komuna Miko and Ashina Miko outside the door."

"In the years since I became an Amaterasu shrine maiden, I have encountered several dangers. They were the ones who risked their lives to protect my safety. They even suffered serious injuries themselves."

“I have seen their dedication with my own eyes.”

"I don't think those companions who have sacrificed everything for me will be the enemy's undercover agents."

Thirty percent of information transmission between people relies on language, and more information comes from the micro-expressions that people inadvertently show when expressing information.

When Amaterasu Miko said these words, her slightly frowned brows and the imperceptible anxiety and helplessness in her golden eyes completely exposed her original thoughts.

Optics Valley Falcon suddenly realized.

So this is ah.

It turns out that she is not stupid at all, she actually knows everything.

However, as a puppet in the hands of the upper-class rulers, she had no choice since she took the position of Amaterasu Miko.

You already have a bad hand.

At this time, it’s no longer about which of these cards are good and which are bad.

You can only find out the flaws in the opponent's cards, and throw out all the cards in your hand without hesitation.

Optics Valley Falcon shook his head helplessly.

After letting out a long sigh, he looked at Amaterasu Miko with a slightly pitiful look.

And this gaze instantly touched her already suppressed emotions.

The moment their eyes met, the eyes of this elegant miko became filled with moisture.

"I understand."

"It's just that I want to consider your proposal again."

"At the moment, the risk is too great, and we have invested too much."

"Once it fails, there is no room for maneuver."

"Even if I choose to agree in the end, your plan still needs further improvement and modification."

"I will not participate unless I am more confident."

This answer is very ambiguous.

He seemed to agree with her point of view, but kept a certain distance from her.

Amaterasu Miko naturally understood Mitsutani Hayabusa's thoughts and bowed politely.

"No matter what, your words are enough."

Amaterasu Miko stood up, straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes, walked to the door, and raised her hand to signal Mitsuya Hayabusa.

"What needs to be said has been said."

"Next, it's my turn to fulfill my promise and take you to the shrine to meet the old woman who is responsible for exchanging supplies with the outside world."

"Oh, right."

suddenly.

Amaterasu Miko seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly blinked at Mitsuya Hayabusa.

Playful and cute.

"If I read it correctly... Ruonv and Zengfa seem to have been outside for a long time."

"Would you like to invite them in for a quick bite to eat?"

"After all, it's getting late, and I can't protect your safety if I'm hungry."

Optics Valley Falcon opened his mouth, a little surprised.

Feng Yaoxian and Yuyin Lian are both very agile.

Especially Yuyin Lian is the best at lurking.

Once she seriously enters the stealth state, almost no one can find her trace except for the shrine's ceiling of combat power, Su Jingwu Zun.

But this Amaterasu miko, even though she was just sitting in the room, knew everything outside.
