"It's kind of weird."

Qiao Qiao also became curious.

Abyss is close to the city of Okuizumo Town, and the shrine maiden is walking alone on the road with such a big grin, and the few spirits around her don't care about the humans around her, it looks like this shrine maiden is walking a dog.

No, maybe it's actually walking the dog.

"Shall we take a look?"

Thinking that people from the major shrines in the country of Wo will gather in Izumo recently, then maybe this shrine maiden is also a member of a certain shrine, and Qiao Qiao, as a soul removalist, should say hello.

"Hmm."

Sayoko followed behind Qiao Qiao, and the two traveled through the city, but the witch kept her distance from Qiao Qiao and Sayoko.

"Strange, I think I can keep up with two steps, right?"

Sayoko was a little confused.

Then, she saw the shrine maiden enter a shrine hidden deep in the city.

However, when I pass through the entrance torii.

The shrine maiden disappeared.

Gone.

"Huh?"

Sayoko rubbed her eyes and checked again.

In the middle of a quiet bamboo forest, a red torii gate.

The shrine is deserted, except for the afternoon sun sifting through the shadows of the trees.

"It's like some kind of enchantment or something."

Qiao Qiao had read some of the texts about enchantments in Shinto, and although they were vaguely written because they involved the core techniques, they still gave a certain description of common enchantments in general.

The Shinto barrier comes from the concept of the kingdom of the gods and gods, and is a pan-technical system of this concept.

And the kingdom of the gods is a certain space that can be controlled and changed by itself, and it can also be said to be a high-level memetic operation space.

Correspondingly, general enchantments also have defensive classes, expulsion classes, stealth classes, etc.

Qiao Qiao could only feel a special spiritual power lingering around the shrine, different from the divine power he had seen in other shrines.

For insurance purposes, he first sent a message to Miss Sakura, briefly describing the situation he had encountered and the coordinates he was in now.

However, Miss Sakura may still be busy, and she has not responded yet.

Jobashi came to the torii gate of the shrine.

"Huh?"

When you stretch out your hand, you can feel the ripples like water waves rippling in the space.

There does not seem to be a concept of eviction.

I thought about it for a moment.

Qiao Qiao decided to go in and have a look.

If you want to ask why, because the weirdness is there.

He and Sayoko held hands and walked towards the torii together.

Whoosh –

There was no time to react at all, and Qiao Qiao felt that his surroundings became very dazzling.

No, sunshine to be exact.

Qiao Qiao and Sayoko are standing on the stone steps, the dazzling sunlight shining down, giving an unobstructed view of the surrounding environment.

Behind him is a tall red torii.

This torii gate is built halfway up the mountain, and down the long stairs.

Surrounded by verdant mountains, at the foot of which is a small, ordinary-looking village.

“？”

Yes.

The city of Okuizumo Town, with its busy streets, has all disappeared.

"Crossed?"

Sayoko remembered the manga she had read recently.

"The cell phone signal seems to be gone, but the emergency contact method is still available."

Qiao Qiao looked at his phone and sensed the foggy night in his veins again.

Well, this guy is still playing the otome game, and Qiao Qiao sucked a lot of blood on the foggy night before leaving, and it seems that he can't satisfy her at all.

It's more like some kind of big enchantment than a traversal.

Qiao Qiao glanced back.

On the mountain, there is a shrine.

"Let's go up the hill first."

Qiao Qiao made a decision.

He assembled the revolver he was carrying, held the gun in one hand and held Sayoko in the other, and climbed the steps step by step.

The two of them were very fast.

Sayoko's fatigue will be transferred to Qiao Qiao.

Qiao Qiao's vampire physique is not tired at all.

It was perfect.

In less than ten minutes, the two climbed the shrine located on the mountain.

There is no name outside the shrine gate.

Judging from the shape of the torii gate and the shrine hall, it is made by a Taisha shrine and meets the specifications of a shrine in the Izumo area.

There was no one else in sight at the shrine, so Qiao Qiao and Sayoko followed the normal worship etiquette, washed their hands in Mitarai, and walked into the shrine.

"Huh?"

Qiao Qiao came to the door of the main hall, a little strange.

Because in front of the enshrinement box in the shrine hall, there is a huge note rope.

Because it is so huge, it even gives people a certain feeling of oppression.

Such a huge note rope, Qiao Qiao is very clear as a soul slayer.

Only Izumo Taisha has such a huge suke rope.

"Could it be that this is the Izumo Taisha Shrine?"

Qiao Qiao couldn't help but have such a thought.

Hearing Qiao Qiao's words, Sayoko had already made up a heart-wrenching time-traveling drama in his brain.

He and Qiao Qiao traveled to the ancient Izumo Taisha Shrine, helped eight million gods fight against demons, and finally spent their lives happily, leaving only a simple message of "we are happy" to later people.

By the way, recently, Xiao Yazi was watching the "Three-Body Problem" bought by Qiao Qiao as a material for learning Chinese, and she has already finished reading the third part like a date.

"At least not Hakurei Shrine or anything like that."

Qiao Qiao turned around, and except for the large number of shrines, he didn't see anyone else.

The entire shrine is empty.

Sayoko looked at the box, touched her wallet, and found a coin.

Bow slightly, put it into the box, and then gently ring the bell.

The huge rope swayed slightly, and the melodious ringing of the bell echoed in the open space of the shrine.

She saluted twice, clapped her hands twice, and saluted again.

"Hey, you're doing it the wrong way."

At this time, a voice came from behind Sayoko.

Looking back, it was the same shrine maiden who was wearing a different shrine maiden costume.

She looked like a junior high school student, very short, with black hair tied up in red sandalwood paper at the back of her head, white clothes and dark blue hakama, holding a broom in her hand, surrounded by several translucent white spirits.

"You should clap your hands four times, isn't that common sense, hey, you don't seem to be from here?"

It was only at this time that the shrine maiden noticed the clothes on Sayoko's body.

"Wait, you're an outsider? How can you get in? ”

She seemed to panic, and the spirits around her began to move irregularly, showing her inner wavering.

"What is this place?"

Qiao Qiao turned around from the side of the shrine hall and saw the witch, and asked while being on guard.

"And another?"

The shrine maiden's eyes widened.

"No one has ever encountered this situation at all......"

From the spirit body beside him, he pulled out a book and hurriedly flipped through it.

Qiao Qiao glanced at it with a vampire's vision and found that the cover of the book had something like "The Paradise Management Manual" written on it.

Management manuals?

Is this shrine maiden an administrator-like being?

After a long time, the shrine maiden finally gave up.

"This is a situation that has never happened before, there are ordinary humans who have entered the paradise, what are they doing!"

The shrine maiden scratched her head, looking like she had given up on treatment and had nothing to love.

"Well, where the hell is this?"

Sayoko leaned over and asked.

"This is the headquarters of the Izumo Taisha Shrine, well, but it's also an abandoned place, and now it's a paradise for youkai."

The shrine maiden replied weakly.
