What is the identity of the god resident Maki-e?

A mysterious outsider?

You see, all the abnormal behaviors of God's residence are based on the premise of rituals.

But if the god resident Makie is a ritual or indispensable person, what is her identity?

What role does the god play in the ceremony?

Kitagawa Temple wrote down the name of the god resident Maki-e, and flipped through the classic records on the desk.

This translation really brought him another very valuable document.

This document records the place where the ceremony took place.

The shrine is located in the mountains, and Kazu is suppressed in the mountains.

The Gate of Darkness is also in the mountain.

And the place leading to the altar of sacrifice -

"The cloister on the right, down... The eleventh step of the floor... Underground Palace"

After all, the place where the gods reside in their own house is such a place, and the ritual of the god flower welcome is very important, so the place where the altar is located naturally needs to consider the hiddenness, and it is no wonder that the altar is hidden underground.

Kitagawa Temple also understands this.

"Then without further ado..."

Since he knew where the altar was, there was no reason for Beichuan Temple to hesitate.

He stuffed all the paperwork into his almost full pocketbag and took another sip of water.

After completing the above actions, Kitagawa Temple went straight to the right cloister, and from there the stairs went down into a corridor, and then walked no more, no less, and then walked eleven steps.

The floor here is made of ordinary dirt and gravel, and it seems that the Kamiju family did not plan to lay wooden or bluestone floors here.

And... Kitagawa Temple was keenly aware that the color of the mud and stone floor under his feet was slightly different from that of the surrounding mud and stone floor.

In other words—

Kitagawa Temple separates the dirt and gravel that are deliberately laid on this piece of ground by hand.

A stone slab with several iron handles appeared before him.

The stone slab is engraved with a pattern composed of brilliant white chrysanthemums and blooming bewitching flowers.

In the middle of the pattern, a huge keyhole is clearly visible at Kitagawa Temple.

Slate key?

Kitagawa Temple subconsciously took out the key to the Asamiya family in his pocket.

"Sure enough, it's still half there."

Kitagawa Temple frowned.

It's not that he can't directly separate the slate with a conjunctive set, but things after separation also need to be considered.

Without the key to the main house, there is no point in going down to Kitagawa Temple.

But I still have to go down and have a look.

Just as this thought flashed through Kitagawaji's heart, the Kagura Bell that had been placed on his waist suddenly trembled and made a rapid sound.

There's a wraith?!

Kitagawa Temple stood up and looked across the dark corridor.

When...

When...

When...

It was the crisp sound of torture knives colliding.

From far to near –

The Knife Maiden rushed straight over!!

As for Kitagawa Temple?

As early as the moment he heard the voice of the knife witch, Kitagawa Temple immediately stepped on the cloister and ran frantically.

He didn't have the idea of seeing the whole picture of the other party before leaving.

After all, under the speed of the knife witch, even if Beichuan Temple runs with all its strength, it doesn't have half an advantage.

It's just—

"So fast!"

Kitagawa Temple looked at the knife witch who rushed straight from the crossroads path he had run, and his expression was full of surprise.

It's faster than what I saw in the dungeon before!

Kitagawa Temple subconsciously glanced at his watch.

It turned out that in the process of his investigation, the time had come to seven o'clock.

Hidden!

This is the opponent's home field! No wonder the Knife Maiden is running faster again!

I can't get rid of it if I go on like this!

Kitagawa Temple tried to add obstacles to the knife witch in the back, knocking down the cabinet against the wall, and lifting the thick wooden strips horizontally-

But no matter what, it was directly smashed by the knife witch, and although her speed was reduced, it didn't have much effect at all!

It's really a 'woe'.

Even in this kind of life and death crisis, Beichuan Temple couldn't help but praise each other.

With such speed and ability, it is no wonder that the resentment that soars to the sky can slaughter the entire Shenzhu family in one night!

But—

Kitagawa Temple's heart moved.

"It's time to get there!"

He directly slammed open the Japanese-style sliding door next to him and exhaled heavily.

It's a room.

Since the room, then naturally it is a dead end.

Beichuan Temple actually broke into a dead end directly?

When... When... When... When...

The heavy voice of the knife witch sounded outside the room, and the kagura bell on the waist of Beichuan Temple trembled wildly, and the jingling sound seemed to want to tell Beichuan Temple how terrifying the resentful spirits outside were.

Kitagawa Temple didn't care about the ringing of the Kagura bell, his black eyes stared at the door tightly, and his hands were tightly clenched.

In the gaze of Kitagawa Temple, the dark figure of the knife witch appeared behind the sliding door.

The twisted and terrifying figure was reflected on the paper door.

She's looking at the room.

Kitagawa Temple knows it.

The other party knows that he is inside, and he also understands that the other party is outside.

But even through this paper door, the other party did not break out.

She paused for a long time before she dragged her long knife and walked away slowly.

The sound of Kagura bells also slowly subsided.

Kitagawa Temple breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned around and looked behind him, and couldn't help but shake his head: "I was saved by this thing this time." ”

Behind Kitagawa Temple, a huge stone bound by a rope is lying in the innermost part of the room.

Since the 'disaster' will occur, then of course the god will not be a fool.

In the diary of the head of the god's house, of course, Kitagawa Temple also saw the back hand to deal with the 'disaster'.

This key stone is their means of dealing with 'evil'.

The stone has nothing to do with charms and blessings, it can directly suppress and purify the resentment of resentful spirits.

Even if it is as strong as a sword, the shrine maiden does not dare to rush in directly, which also shows the usefulness of the stone.

"But... She's been so close to the stone..."

Just now, the knife witch was only a few meters away from the stone, and finally left.

This is enough to explain the horror of the knife witch.

Although the volume of the stone that has been passed down from generation to generation by the god family is not as large as that of the Ma Miya's family, after years of sacrifice and worship, the ability to remove the spirit is definitely much stronger than that of the Ma Miya's family.

Beichuan Temple patted his body and was about to stand up, but a voice suddenly came from behind him:

"You... Be...? ”

The crisp and soft sound is like a kagura bell.

Is there still a spirit here?

Beichuan Temple's mind turned slightly, and he was not in a hurry to pull out the concurrently.

After all, if you can appear next to the stone, it will definitely not be a resentful spirit.

He looked back.

I saw a girl wearing a red and white witch costume and a red silk scarf tied at the back of her head slowly walking out of the darkness.

Her face is gentle, her eyes are clear and calm, like the surface of a lake, and just a glance at it can make people calm and contemplate.

Looking at the other party's face that was similar to that of Asamiya Yongshi, Beichuan Temple couldn't help but ask:

"Kami-dwelling Hiiragi?"

This should be Hitomi Asamiya's third sister, that is, her eldest sister.

But to the surprise of Kitagawa Temple, after hearing the name, the other party's slender eyebrows wrinkled distinctly, and she asked in a quiet tone: "Why... Will know... The cursed... Name? ”

Isn't that your name?

Hearing the indifference in the other party's voice, Beichuan Temple pulled the hanging hair and asked directly, "You are not a god Hiiragi?" ”

The shrine maiden shook her head: "I... The name... Kami-dwelling Maki-e. ”

Kami-dwelling Maki-e?!

I actually saw myself here?

Kitagawa Temple's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

It's just that the other party is slurred and stammers when he speaks, which seems a little strange.

Just as Kitagawa Temple was looking at her, the god resident Makie spoke again.

"For... What the... Know... That cursed... The name? ”

"A cursed name? You mean, 'God Residency'? ”

“... Well. Shenzhu Makie replied lightly, and his eyes were as calm as water: "Why... will come... God at home...? ”

For this question, Kitagawa Temple did not rush to answer, looking at the god resident Maki-e, combined with her words just now, Kitagawa Temple seemed to have some thoughts emerging in his mind.

"Do you know that Ma Miya is eternal?"

He asked rhetorically.

"Forever... Generation... My sister. Maki-e pressed his palms to his chest, and a hint of softness flashed in his eyes: "Yes... Eternity makes you... Coming here? ”

And so it was!

Kitagawa Temple has already caught all the clues.

This god-resident Maki-e is the real soul twin-

So the god residence Hiiragi is...

"God resides Hiiragi, God resides in Maki-e, Asamiya is eternal... That's what happened. Kitagawa Temple muttered to himself.

"Answer me... problems. Kamiju Makie said stumblingly.

"I came to the shrine to solve the trouble, you should also know Asamiya Hitomi, right?"

Kitagawa Temple asked rhetorically.

"Know... Know. The god resident Makie nodded, and a faint doubt appeared on her beautiful face: "Hitomi... My youngest sister should have been sent to Tokyo by Granny Fuyuko now. ”

"Why is 'Kami-dwelling Hiiragi' a cursed name?"

Kitagawa Temple already has a vague guess, but it is still necessary to ask the god resident Makie to confirm the guess in his heart.

It seems that the god resident Makie knows far more than Asamiya Eternal, and her memories seem to be completely unbroken:

"Hiiragi... Let the whole ritual fail... That woman... Abnormal. ”

This statement is unusually clear.

Receiving this answer, Kitagawa Temple instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.

The fact that Kamiju Makie can appear next to the Stone also eliminates the possibility that she is a resentful spirit and deceives herself.

In other words, it is a spirit that is alive and knows all the secrets of God's home.

And she is also another soul twin.

As for the god stationed Hiiragi, it should be the knife witch outside, that is, the original lady.

It's all in the wrong direction.

At first, Kitagawa Temple thought that the god was another soul witch, but he finally knew why his previous inference had such a strong sense of disobedience.

"It turns out that the whole incident, and even the tragedy of the destruction of the village, was caused by the god stationed in Hiiragi..."Beichuan Temple glanced at his pocket.

Hiiragi's ebony hairpin is still lying in his waist bag.

It's not the soul twins who fall in love with a foreign man, it's a lady!

If you think about it this way, it all makes sense.

Annoyed and angry when his love affair with a young man is revealed, Hiiragi is in charge of the final ceremony of the god flower welcome.

She caused the whole ritual to fail at the last moment of the Divine Flower Welcome, and finally took the initiative to plunge into the disaster, becoming the Knife Witch to slaughter everyone in the Divine House.

Kitagawa Temple tried to explain this inference to the god Maki-e.

But the god resident Makie shook his head: "Things... Most of it is like that... But there's one thing... Wrong. ”

She looked at Kitagawa Temple and stammered, "It's Hiiragi... Personally put that man... She was not sad when she was sent to the gallows... From that time... She's already getting weird. ”

In the god resident Makie slowly unfolded the narration.

Under her narration, Kitagawa Temple finally understood what was wrong with his reasoning.

The god has been very cruel since he was a child, and that kind of innocent cruelty makes both Jinnu and Vinu terrified.

Strangle the dog to death and trample the ant directly.

As the Tsu girl and the Vi girl who raised the god Hiiragi, they saw with their own eyes that the young girl who was only ten years old was executed by herself, cutting off a man's tongue, and the blood made the pink face all over, but a sadistic smile appeared on the mouth of the god Hiiragi.

Kami-residenc Hiiragi wasn't scared at all.

Yes, she's an anomalous concentrator at all.

"That kind of person... Can't imagine having love in your heart... Exist. ”

Kamiju Makie shook his head.

What should it be like to like someone?

Like the legendary god of Kagura Suzu, Rina is dying with the person you like, and it is also a poignant love.

But the god is different.

She likes the way one goes... If that's what you like.

The god Hiiragi reported the man's name to the head of the family and carried out the execution himself.

She dissected her lover's abdomen and removed the entrails bloodily, the mad smile of the abuser on her face, but tears welled up in large drops.

Joy and sadness, the smooth feel of blood and internal organs made her want to stop, and her mood was as strange as knocking over a strange bottle.

"Woe to you... Also in... Buried at that time. From that day on... That crazy woman... I fell in love with the position of the abuser of the beloved ... The ritual also failed because of her. ”

Kamiju Maki-e's gaze dimmed: "She's active... And with malice... Plunged into the fountain. When it reappeared, it had become a 'curse'... Eternity, I, the head of the family... All were killed. ”

"Soul Attraction Flower... Half opened... It is the blood of eternity... My blood... Stained by her blood. One more soul twins are needed... to restart the ritual. ”

After listening to the explanation of the god resident Maki-e, Kitagawa Temple finally figured out all the puzzles.

"I see."

All the cause and effect are all on the young woman, and the tragedy of God's village in the village was caused by her.

She has been taught to kill since she was a child.,Confused that love with people.,In the end, in order to realize the desire in her heart.,And the blood of the god in Maki-e was dirty.。

The whole ceremony should have been without the slightest problem.

But the existence of the goddess, the god Hiiragi, is the biggest problem.

But—

If you want to restart the ritual again, you need a new Soul Twins?

A girl's face subconsciously appeared in Kitagawaji's heart.

"Asamiya-san...?"

No wonder Asamiya Yongyo said that Asamiya Hitomi is the key to solving this series of events.

So that's what happened.

So far-

All the riddles in the village of God have already been answered.
