"I didn't see it." Lingyin shook her head. "I just woke up not long ago. Didn't Sikong tell you?"
Yae sighed with regret and continued to walk around. His sight unconsciously moved to the huge stone door at the far end.
She thought that if nothing unexpected happened, Liang Zang should be inside.
Not long after, Shenhong was the last one to climb the escalator. As soon as his feet were firmly on the ground, he quickly took out a mask from his portable bag and presented it to Xiao Wuhui.
She was as impatient as Yae, both concerned about her husband.
"Let's get down to business." Zhiyao took the mask and said goodbye to Lingyin and Qianye.
"Go over there." Xiao Wuhui pointed to the right side of the stone door.
Everyone immediately moved over there. After arriving at their destination, Shenhong raised his head and stared at the huge stone door about five meters high. Then he looked behind him and found that Lingyin and Qianye were also in the queue.
Maybe these two have never been inside, Shenhong thought inadvertently.
Who would have thought that as soon as her eyes moved back to the front, the candles hanging on the left and right sides of the stone door went out, so that her vision was pitch black. She looked around reflexively, but only saw Zhiyao and Gudu. All other non-living creatures were nowhere to be seen.
She was just about to ask what was going on when suddenly, the back of a middle-aged man appeared in front of her. Having seen him several times before, Shenhong immediately recognized him as her great-grandfather, Sokata Ryozo.
She thought that this must be a scene from the past. Come to think of it, were Sikong and Hei Ze also watching it like her?
She wanted to ask.
But soon she had no time to worry about anything else because Sohkata Ryozo put the blindfold mask in the designated position, and then the stone door moved and began to make a heavy roar.
Who would have thought that when the door opened to about the width of three people's shoulders, dozens of hands suddenly stretched out from inside and grabbed Sokata Ryozo's body. Shenhong was caught off guard and reflexively took half a step back in surprise, and then watched his great-grandfather being dragged into the door.
The next second, the scene returned to normal as Xiao Wuhui and Yae appeared on both sides like magic.
The three Crimsons looked at each other.
"You saw it too?"
Zhiyao and Gudu nodded.
"It looks like there's a monster behind the door!" Zhiyao pulled out a knife and frowned solemnly.
Everyone quickly retreated to a position far away from the door. After confirming that everyone was at a safe distance, Zhiyao swallowed his saliva and placed the mask in the designated position. As the stone door began to make a heavy roar, he immediately ran away.
A few minutes passed, and the width of the door remained at the shoulder width of three people. They groped their way in from both sides one after another. After reaching the edge of the door, Zhiyao stuck half of his head out and carefully shone the flashlight inside.
The expected monsters were not there, but there was one at the Mingshen Gate. Xiao Wuhui said that this was the entrance to the Yellow Springs Gate, so it was not surprising.
However, just as Zhiyao was about to put his whole body in to take a look, someone got there first.
Looking closely, it turned out to be Yae.
Several people here immediately followed, and soon they saw Yae squatting in an area that seemed to have collapsed due to some huge force. As they continued to close the distance between them and Yae, they saw a corpse with the lower half of the body buried in a pile of rocks.
Except for Chiba, who couldn't see it, and Suzune, who had never seen it, everyone else knew that it was Sohna Ryozo.
They never expected to meet again in this way. Yae's mood was as complicated as a ball of wool that was taken apart and then haphazardly kneaded into a ball.
"Ryozo, Ryozo!"
She kept pushing Sokata Ryozo's body with her hands, but unfortunately there was no response.
"Honey, wake up, wake up!"
Still no response.
Yae knew that even if nothing had happened, her husband would not be alive in this day and age. The reason she felt complicated was that her husband had not become what she is now.
Xiao Wuhui put her palm against the corpse's face and then slowly retracted it, "He has been dead for a long time."
"Ryozo... Can't he become like us?" Yae had a dejected look on his face, his expression filled with gloom.
"In theory, there will be a transformation process, but the length of time is random. The worst case scenario is like Suzune's." Xiao Wuhui patiently explained, then comforted, "The only thing I can guarantee is that I will appear in the form of a spirit."
Hearing Xiao Wuhui, who was several times older than herself, say this, Yae felt relieved, and the dark clouds on her face dissipated. "Yes, Liang Zang will definitely wake up. We just have to wait."
Noticing the ridged object in her husband's pocket, Yae carefully took it out and handed it to the nearest Crimson.
"It's the fragment of the Imperial Divine Mirror." Shenhong took it in his hand, looked at it, and carefully put it into the portable bag.
Seeing that most of her husband's body was buried in the pile of stones, and worried that he would not be able to move when he woke up, Yae began to clear the stones on top. Later in the cleaning, she found that there were even larger stones underneath, and she was unable to move them with her strength.
After a person transforms into a spirit, their strength will become beyond common sense, and the stone in front of him still exceeds the limit of the eighth level.
"I'll help." Zhiyao joined in enthusiastically.
"I'll come too." Lingyin said, and seeing Chiba eager to try, she quickly stopped her.
Lord Chiba is blind, and it would be bad if he were to trip over a stone.
As a result, just as she put her hands on the other person's shoulders and before she could say anything to persuade him, Lingyin saw the other person's head turned in the other direction.
"Master Chiba?"
With an unclear sound in his throat, Chiba began to walk in that direction.
"Master Chiba, where are you going?!"
Lingyin hurried forward to stop them, but was gently pushed away. She went around to the front to stop them again, and finally got a response from the other side.
"Master Chiba said something is calling her," Suzune explained to everyone.
Considering what he had seen before, Shenhong quickly took out his camera and became extremely alert. Zhiyao and Gudu also felt like they were facing a formidable enemy and quickly gathered around Shenhong.
"Sikong, you just..." Xiao Wuhui asked.
Gu Du gestured to Xiao Wuhui to keep quiet, then turned his head and pointed his ear towards the depths of the cave, his palm pressed against his ear, "Listen carefully, is there any movement?"
Shenhong followed suit, and after a few seconds, she frowned slightly, her eyes sharp as torches.
"It seems... to be singing?"
"I'll go and take a look." Zhiyao drew out his knife and walked towards the depths of the cave. The other two were worried and followed behind silently.
The three of them continued to move forward, keeping a close eye on all directions until the circle of light from the flashlight appeared on the pile of stones directly in front of them.
"Here...what's going on..." Zhiyao muttered to herself, "It collapsed?"
The road seemed to be blocked, so the three of them immediately used their flashlights to shine in other directions.
"There's no way out." said Crimson.
"Let's go back." Zhiyao turned around and prepared to lead the two back the same way.
But as soon as the last syllable fell from his mouth, his mouth was covered by the small and delicate hand of Xiao Wuhui who was lying on his back. Confused, Zhiyao glanced at Xiao Wuhui, and then saw that Xiao Wuhui had a serious expression and pointed in a certain direction.
He moved his gaze over there, and in an instant his body shook violently, with all the hairs on his body standing up.
Before long, several women appeared in the originally empty area. They were of different heights, ages, and hair lengths. The only thing they had in common was that each of them had their eyes closed, with shocking bloodstains under their eyes.
It goes without saying that they are the Mekakuro shrine maidens of all generations.
Although they were very curious about why the Mekakuro shrine maidens gathered here, the three people present didn't even dare to breathe too hard at this moment. With so many of them appearing at once, who knew if they could all communicate like Chiba.
Looking back quietly, Zhiyao pointed with her thumb in the direction behind them, then held her breath and slowly backed away, trying not to make any noise.
It's a pity that the weather is not beautiful.
Next to it, a stone rolled down from the pile of stones, attracting the attention of the Mekakuro shrine maidens.
In an instant, the hearts of the three people were in their throats.
Fortunately, the Mekakuro shrine maidens were still calm. After waiting for a while, the three continued to retreat.
Unfortunately, when a person is unlucky, even drinking water will cause problems for his teeth, and the second wave of accidents will follow.
To put it simply, Crimson's heel accidentally hit the steps while retreating. Although he managed to stabilize his body and avoid falling, his nose reflexively made a "hmm" sound.
Then, the Mekakuro shrine maidens finally noticed someone.
It was like stirring up a hornet's nest. The Meguro Shrine Maidens all screamed at high decibels and rushed towards this side quickly. Because they couldn't see the road, some of them tripped over the stairs, and then their fallen bodies tripped other Shrine Maidens behind them. Even so, the Shrine Maidens still got up and continued to rush towards this side, still one after another, with their fangs and claws bared, as if they were going to tear the intruders into pieces.
“Run————————!”
His nerves were almost stretched to the limit, and Zhiyao opened his throat and shouted loudly.
Only a fool would think of waking them up at this time. No matter how much you feel sorry for the Meguro Miko, there should be a time and place for them.
In front, three humans were running for their lives, and behind them, the Muyin priestesses were chasing them relentlessly. Gradually, Lingyin and the others who had not kept up heard the dense and rapid footsteps coming from deep in the cave, and they began to have a bad premonition.
Soon, as the three people who were fleeing appeared in sight, Lingyin immediately reacted, pulled Chiba, and ran towards the door with Yae.
Fortunately, the distance was not particularly far. As I was running, I saw the gate of the ghost town. After running another ten or twenty meters, I could rush out and be rescued.
however……
At this last moment, the third accident happened——Wu Hui, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking the only exit with her body.
Suddenly I received a notification to put this thing on the shelves. Xi Xi asked me to prepare this thing. In fact, I have never written this thing before. I originally planned to put it on the shelves quietly. I decided to follow the local customs and write one.
At present, the results are hard to describe.
Besides, my sense of language is really not good. Others can write 3000 words in one and a half hours, but I can only write a 3000-word draft. Then I have to look at the content of the draft to find the sense of language, and slowly modify the sentences, dialogue content, expressions, actions, and so on.
The other thing is that the plot progresses really slowly. Before entering the Himuro residence, I had no idea how the plot would be arranged, so I thought about advancing slowly scene by scene, what I saw in each place, what I said, how each person reacted, and then what happened next. As a result, I solved puzzles step by step, made jokes, added new characters, and occasionally got intimate with the crimson mist. When I came to my senses, I realized that it was almost fifty chapters.
When will I leave Himuro Residence? I don't know... but it should be soon.
Do you believe that there are still blank plot segments between now and when we leave Himuro Residence? I really haven't thought about it yet.
Anyway...
That's it. We will continue to update steadily and steadily in the future.
Chapter 47: [As long as Komie is threatened, even Mekakushi Miko must be killed]
There is a tiger in front and a pack of wolves behind. The situation is so urgent that there is no room for optimism.
Forming a circular defense with their backs to back, everyone was thinking about what to do next.
First of all, it is the most unwise to confront Kirie head-on. She was killed instantly once before. Without the Divine Mirror, the situation will not get any better. Compared with Kirie, the Mekakuro Miko behind her is obviously much weaker.
Unfortunately, they moved in groups. With their momentum just now, once they pounced on them, both the camera and Chu Yeya's knife would be of little use.
At this moment, Shenhong and others were in a state of confusion.
During this period, whether it was because they were frightened by Kirie's powerful aura or for some other reason, all the Mekakuro shrine maidens stayed quietly where they were.
Of course, no one dares to take it lightly, as everyone hopes that this is the calm before the storm.
"Hinasaki." Zhiyao, always keeping an eye on any movement around, retreated to Shenhong's side, her voice lowered to a whisper, "There's a red film in your bag, right? How about this, I'll count to three, and when I get to three, you use it on Wuhui. Little Wuhui said the red film is incredibly powerful and will definitely have an effect on her. I'll take advantage of her hesitation to stab her, and you can use this opportunity to bypass her and run away."
This is indeed a good idea, Crimson admitted, but the problem is...
"If you get so close, what if Wuhui catches you?" Shenhong was obviously worried, with a disapproving look on her face. "Why don't we just use the [context] and run away together?"
"The problem is, we don't know exactly how much damage the red film can cause." Anxiety crept up Zhiyao's brows. "Xiao Wuhui, what do you think?"
"I'm not sure either, sorry." Xiao Wuhui lowered her head, looking dejected.
"See, that's why I have to be ready to assist in the attack at any time. At least this way I can be sure of nothing going wrong."
While people were whispering here, Wuhui, who was not far away, stayed in the same place the whole time without moving an inch. She looked as relaxed as a chef watching a fish that was unable to move on the chopping board.
In the end, he couldn't think of a better solution, and the longer it took, the more anxious he became. Shenhong had no choice but to learn from his mistakes and take out the red film.
However, just as we were about to switch...
"Lord Chiba!" Suzune shouted nervously when she saw Chiba walking towards the other Mekakuro shrine maidens.
Xiao Wuhui was also sweating in her heart.
After all, she had just been chased by those guys. Without any communication, she had no way of ensuring that they were the same type that she could get along with as Chiba on her side.
There is a saying that bad things always come one after another, and it turns out that Xiao Wuhui's worries were correct.
There is no way to communicate at all.
Chiba, drawn to her fellow saviors, tried to approach and engage them, but the shrine maidens, all of them mindless, targeted her. Like ants with a different scent entering an anthill belonging to a similar species, Chiba was surrounded by the shrine maidens, who grabbed, tore, and bit her. Her heartbreaking cries echoed off the cave walls.
Lingyin panicked instantly, tears flowing uncontrollably, and she rushed into the group of witches without hesitation.
She didn't care about being scratched, bitten, or torn into pieces. She just wanted to protect the respected Chiba. In contrast, Xiao Wuhui had a calm expression and seemed indifferent.
