"Please give it back to me...... The necklace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ah Shui said a little hurriedly.

Kakashi was still playing with the pendant in his hand as if he hadn't heard, and it looked like he was about to pull it off the girl's neck.

The girl also felt the slightest bit wrong, and once again showed a frightened expression.

Ah Shui looked a little puzzled, suddenly his whole body was shocked, he snatched the pendant with his hand, roughly broke the lanyard, turned around and walked away.

Kakashi felt a moment of anger and a trance, and then a moment of loss, and strangely, I could fully relate to it.

There's something wrong with that necklace! I came to such a conclusion for the first time. Glancing at Kakashi, it was clear that he thought so too.

After a detailed examination and treatment of the girl on the ground, she got up with a red face and thanked her and left. Some of the other girls under the pillar returned to the village on their own after Shadow Goron left, some came to inquire about the injured girl before leaving, and two others seemed to have lost their strength from the night's experience, and remained where they were, sitting on the ground and shivering against the pillar.

The other entrances and exits of the village remained closed, and no adults came out. The girls who had left before were crowded in front of the entrance of the temple and did not dare to enter, after all, they had all seen that Shadow Goron had entered from here. Ah Shui seemed to be saying something in the center of the crowd.

The result of persuasion didn't seem to be very good, and Ah Shui gave up his efforts in a bit of anger and returned to the square.

"I've decided, please, take it!" She took out the pendant and offered it with both hands.

My heart throbbed again, but this time I was prepared, and I didn't directly touch the pendant, but I was able to restrain it.

The change in Ah Shui's attitude before and after was confusing, so Kakashi and I didn't pick up the pendant, but waited for her to explain further.

"I've had enough! I don't want to bear this anymore, and I shouldn't bear it......" Ah Shui's attitude should be very resolute, or she wants to be very resolute, however, although she bravely faced us and spoke loudly, crystal tears were rolling down her cheeks, and the more she opened her eyes, the faster the tears flowed. In the end, she could no longer maintain her apparent strength, so she simply kept silent and just watched us cry silently.

I have always regarded Ah Shui as a little girl who is not yet sensible, but at this time, I can feel that she does have a heavy burden in her heart, and under the pressure of these burdens, she is maturing rapidly.

Ah Shui looked back, and the village seemed to be open for a while, so he pulled us to the other end of the sacrificial square, away from the temple, and began to speak:

"As you know, our village of Takiguchi has always existed as a buffer between Takikure and Iwakure, and accordingly, Takikure will also provide us with political shelter and economic offerings, so that our village can enjoy a relatively transcendent position in troubled times."

Kakashi and I nodded, amazed at how much a kid of his age could say such a thing.

"The reason why we can do this is because the waterfall gate above Takihide is in our hands, and the only one who can control that gate is Gruul."

"Gruul is the shadow of last night. He has a lot of strength and can transform his body at will. The first generation of Takiguchi Village took advantage of this characteristic of Gruul to build a special control device to raise and close the switch of the gate, which was set in a very narrow curved gap and required a lot of force to press. If it is not manipulated in the right way, then the gate will self-destruct. ”

"In this way, the safety of Takikure is completely in our hands, and in turn, Gruul becomes the guarantee of the safety of our village."

"However, Gruul himself does not have complete intelligence, and someone must cultivate and guide him, but the only people who can communicate with him are his blood descendants, and his blood can only be passed down for one generation."

"So, every village chief of Takiguchi Village is actually a direct descendant of Gruul, and all of them are brothers!" Speaking of this, Ah Shui seemed to be a little unable to bear the fact that he rubbed his forehead with his hand and lowered his head deeply.

But soon she picked herself up again, and when she looked up again, she said:

"The village chief leads Gruul to show his strength to Takiguchi in exchange for the peace of the village, and at the same time, he has to find a spouse for Gruul to give birth to a new descendant and continue to protect the village after his own death."

Kakashi and I were a little sluggish, and we were thinking about the complicated relationship between them.

The village chief searches for a spouse for his blood father, Gruul (who is his stepmother, who appears to be his adopted daughter), and then Gruul's new spouse (the mayor's stepmother and adopted daughter) is able to conceive and give birth, and a new village chief - who is also the brother/grandson of the current village chief - will be born.

In short, it seems to be a bit beyond the scope of ordinary people's acceptance.

Ah Shui completely ignored our expressions and continued:

"Gruul's offspring are all barren, they are completely unable to enjoy normal family life, and can only adopt children, of course, adopting a daughter is a must."

"The daughter will be chosen to become a 'goddess' during the worship ceremony, and from then on she will live in the temple, secretly conceive and give birth to a child, and then return to the villagers with the oracle."

"The oracle is that she will one day welcome the Son of God from the altar, marry him as a family, and manage the village of Takiguchi together. And the so-called Son of God is the descendant of Gruul, who was born to his daughter, and he will grow up quickly within three months, with wisdom and strength beyond ordinary humans, but not beyond the scope of humans. ”

I was completely stunned, that is to say, the "goddess" and the "son of God" were originally mother and son, but they were going to be married. Oh no, the Son of God was supposed to be the uncle of the Goddess......

"The village has become accustomed to such legends, and has witnessed it happen again and again, thinking that all this is providence, but ......"

Ah Shui trembled slightly, a little unable to speak, after several struggles, he tilted his head over, and still spoke:

"I want to end this. I've done a lot of wrong things, but ......"

"I originally wanted to lure outsiders into fornication and ruin my chastity......" Ah Shui quickly turned his head to look at Kakashi, sighed briefly, and twisted his head back again.

"It's going to involve Uncle Kakashi in this, and I don't know what the consequences will be, I was too headstrong at the time. But before the plan could be implemented, Uncle Kakashi left. Dad seemed to sense something, and he was very anxious to start the ritual of worshipping the gods, but I was not ready at all...... I gave the 'Water Light' pendant to someone else, it can counteract the protective barrier of the sacrificial pillar and attract Gruul closer, and the goddess has relied on this to ensure that she is chosen by Gruul, but I don't want to. ”

"But I feel as if I have done something wrong, my companions are forced to come to the festival, they have no idea what will happen in the future, I can't just let them fall into the quagmire!"

Ah Shui showed an excited appearance and showed obvious resistance to the so-called "sacrifice to the gods".

Of course, I also think this thing is really unbelievable, although the original intention is to protect the village, but it will ruin a woman's life, uh, well, the son of Gruul should actually be considered a human being, then, every generation will destroy two people.

"So, I will take the initiative to stand up in the next sacrifice ceremony, as long as I am out of the scope of the sacrifice pillar, Gruul will only choose me. As for the next time, I will tell the truth to all the girls in the village who are eligible to participate in the festival, and it is up to them to choose. This pendant - let you take it! ”

Ah Shui stretched out his hand again, spread out his palm, and hoped that we would take away the pendant "water light".
