Chapter 418. Between the Fetals (4000 words)
After shopping, Kitagawa Temple and Shifang Kaguya naturally returned to their rooms at the inn.
"Then I'll go back to my room first, Kaguya Shrine Maiden." Kitagawa Temple said hello to the four directions of Kaguya.
"Please." Quartet Kaguya nodded.
She just stood around the corner and watched Beichuan Temple push the door into his own room, and then turned her eyes to the two bodyguard-looking men who had come up behind her.
"It's rude, Kaguya-sama."
The man in the lead apologized emotionlessly, and then reached out to the paper bag in her hand.
"......" Quartet Kaguya.
She bit her lower lip, her eyes fluttering.
But in the end, he sighed and handed the paper bag in his hand to the man.
The man stretched out his hand expressionlessly to tear the paper bag seal open, and reached into it with his palm to rummage through it.
That rude look made the square Kaguya want to throw the moon mirror on his chest directly in the other party's face.
But that's just an idea.
She simply couldn't do it.
After rummaging through the paper bag, the man shook his head at his companion next to him: "There are no notes or hidden messages. ”
After the report, he returned the crumpled paper bag in his hand to Kaguya:
"Routine, I'm sorry, Kaguya-sama."
Sifang Kaguya took the paper bag and made sure that the hairpin was safe and sound before she let out a sigh of relaxation, then her slender eyebrows raised, and her gaze turned to the two bodyguard men in front of her:
"You should be satisfied by now, right? Stand down, I'm tired. ”
“... Be. ”
The two men took two steps back, and when Kaguya entered her room, the two stood on either side of the door and took up their duties.
And this... The Quartet Kaguya is actually very clear.
But...
I'm sorry, I can't do anything.
Kaguya hugged the paper bag in front of his chest tightly, tears flashing in his eyes.
Her movements trembled, even though she was already in tears, and the four directions still didn't dare to make the slightest sound.
It was a long time before Kaguya stepped on a rag and came to the small table in the room.
She took the hairpin out of the paper bag.
The crumpled plastic paper clings tightly to the Nara deer hairpin.
She couldn't help but gently stroke the hairpin, and a faint voice like a sigh followed:
"I'm just a mayfly... A mayfly that can't even choose to die. ”
The mayfly has no joy, it just floats in the air and has no foothold at all.
In the same way, mayflies have no freedom and can only follow the wind and rise and fall in the wind.
That's all.
Kaguya stroked the hairpin and looked into the distance with a dull expression.
Behind the hill that is divided by a cross window... And what?
Kaguya gave up this meaningless thought, clenching the edge of the moon mirror on his chest tightly.
And on the surface of the moon mirror, it also shimmers with crystal brilliance like a living thing.
......
The time of dusk in the afternoon soon arrived.
Today's assignment and time for action are the same as yesterday's, the search for the lunar scope.
However, due to the huge desolate thing that they encountered yesterday, Master Haneda and Master Onodera were also a lot more cautious today.
When the time of dusk and demons has completely passed, and night falls, Beichuan Temple and they will start to act.
This time, Kitagawa Temple didn't pay attention to the four directions Kaguya, and walked straight to the sacrificial area behind the mountain.
The occasional resentful spirit encountered on the way was also disposed of by him.
After walking forward again for more than ten minutes, Beichuan Temple stood in front of the door of the Moon Shadow Ritual Hall again.
There was not much hesitation in the rest.
Kitagawa Temple turned around and stepped onto the wooden path on the left.
The dark surface of the lake shimmers.
The surface of the wooden bridge is trampled by Kitagawa Temple, making a crunching sound.
The further you go inside, the more tragic the sight you see.
Burst through the shattered bones of Lai Mori Bai.
A martyr whose lower body was completely emptied.
The black blood stains poured on the wooden pillars were so thick that they couldn't be wiped clean...
Kitagawa Temple stopped.
Look around.
Before he knew it, there were already a lot of people around him.
Illusory priests dressed in hunting clothes, young witches holding imperial coins.
They screamed and fled.
The unknown desolate creature that emerged from the lake pulled their arms away from their fragile human bodies, biting off the lower half of their bodies in one gulp!
The breath of the Yellow Spring infects their bodies.
Wraiths roam everywhere, killing all the living they can see...
Blood poured on the walls, forming a black stain of blood that could not be dissolved.
What is in front of Kitagawa Temple is undoubtedly a hellish scene.
These are the sights that the dead shrine maidens and priests saw before they died.
Due to strong reluctance and hatred, this scene also became an afterimage and remained here.
It seems that the sacrificial area behind the mountain is so close to the Moon Lake, so the witches and priests in this area can't escape at all when the 'Obscure Moon Hour' comes.
This also leads to the left, right, ground, and even above the ceiling of Kitagawa Temple—
All of them manifested resentful spirits with crooked expressions and pale complexions.
The witch ghost who is missing her arm, who was bitten by something, and who lacks the priest who lacks the spirit of the priest who has a large half of her face on the left...
The bruised, rotting pieces of flesh emitted a foul smell.
Their resentful eyes stared at Beichuan Temple unabashedly, and black liquid continued to ooze out of their mouths.
For this 'welcome ceremony' like a horror movie scene, Kitagawa Temple simply stretched out his hand and pinched out a giant hammer from mid-air!
And then—
Waving!!!!
Smack!
Smack!
Smack!
The jet-black blood in the brains of the shorter shrine maidens exploded!
The taller hunter-clad priests ended up with a fate of being broken by the waist!
But the resentful spirit is a resentful spirit after all, and it can continue to act even if it breaks its waist.
When he saw that these resentful spirits still had the strength to try to stretch out their hands to pull their feet, Beichuan Temple also looked moved, and the standing fire in his hand was dropped without hesitation.
Rumble!!!!
The blue fire is burning!
The wraiths wailed behind the Kitagawa Temple.
From time to time, a resentful spirit rushed out of the sea of blue fire, and wanted to hug Beichuan Temple directly.
But before they could stumble two steps, they had already fallen heavily to the ground.
"I hope you can leave this spiritual realm and live comfortably in that world."
Kitagawa Temple said in a flat voice, and at the same time ripped off the spirit of the witch hanging upside down from the ceiling, and threw it into the sea of fire that stood on the blue fire.
With a 'boom', the standing fire that got the 'fuel' grew a little stronger.
The wails were even more piercing.
Even Master Haneda and Master Onodera, who were far away in the shrine in front of the mountain, could hear it.
They both shuddered.
Then they looked at each other.
After a long while, Master Haneda whispered to Master Onodera, "I don't know what kind of terrifying battle took place on Master Kitagawa's side, and the number of resentful spirits is so large... It seems that Master Beichuan is in a difficult form. ”
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, and the strength of Beichuan Temple is indeed amazing, but under the siege of the elusive resentful spirits, he should also be anxious, difficult in form, and tired of coping.
Master Onodera, who was next to Master Haneda, also sighed and nodded: "Indeed... With such a large number of resentful spirits, it must be that Beichuan mage who will also fall into a bitter battle. But no matter how tragic the battle is, I always believe that Master Kitagawa should be able to return safe and sound. ”
Master Haneda took out the kettle, and after taking a sip, he also responded and said, "Hmm... Master Kitagawa will be safe. ”
Yes.
Even if Kitagawa Temple is now in a bitter battle, the two have no doubt that the other party will be able to deal with all the resentful spirits.
After all, Beichuan Temple has that strength.
On the other side –
The wraith, dressed in a scarlet witch costume, wants to stay away from the darkness behind it.
The wave of fear that surrounded her body made the witch spirit instinctively stay away.
It lay on all fours, crawling frantically forward.
And then—
Syllable!!!!
A hand grabbed her boned-twisted ankle.
The shrine maiden wails in terror!
Its razor-sharp black nails dug into the wooden floor, trying to stop the trend of being dragged upside down.
The strength behind him is getting stronger and stronger, and the sawdust is also splashing in all directions!
The wraith screamed in horror like a victim.
This change made the Beichuan Temple, who was pulling the ankle of the resentful spirit behind him, also squint his eyes inexplicably.
He walked all the way from the long bridge, and when he caught the ghost, he threw it into the fire and burned it as firewood, and this spirit was the most difficult to deal with.
I even knew how to escape.
Obviously, the resentful spirit should be self-conscious.
Beichuan Temple thought, and used force under his hand again.
Boom!!
A crisp cracking sound.
When Beichuan Temple withdrew his hand again, there was already a part of the foot of the resentful spirit in the palm of his hand.
Unexpectedly, the other party's spirit body was actually pulled off by him.
Kitagawa Temple shook his head, and simply picked up the sledgehammer and slammed it directly at the head of the witch ghost.
With a dull sound, the shrine maiden wraith stopped struggling.
Beichuan Temple simply dragged the twisted corpse of the resentful spirit directly and threw it into the fire in the rear.
But the question of why the resentful spirit fled still haunts Beichuan Temple's mind.
It took about ten seconds for him to take out Kenta, as if he remembered something.
Sure enough.
The Spirit Dagger activates the intimidating effect on low-level wraiths.
This also caused the witch resentful spirit just now to be directly subject to this effect and escaped.
Because of this, it also took some effort to Beichuan Temple.
Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple raised his hand expressionlessly and slapped it on the shining dagger.
“......”
Under his gaze, the brilliance of the surface of the slap soon became uncertain, and then it completely curried favor with Kitagawa Temple.
Kitagawa Temple shook his head.
There is no need for ordinary wraiths like these to make a formal appearance. After all, to use it is to waste the energy it has accumulated, and after using up that energy, Beichuan Temple will take the initiative to infuse it with dead energy.
This is a bit more than worth the cost.
After all, it doesn't take much dead gas to use it once, but it is a big eater of dead gas.
In addition, Kitagawa Temple instinctively felt that there was something hidden in the Sifang Shrine this time.
These low-level resentful spirits are just superficial things, and they must not be the whole state of the entire shrine.
He also had to keep the energy he had saved to deal with the things that were hidden in the shadows.
"There is no next time." Beichuan Temple raised his hand again and patted it.
The surface of Kanedai shone brightly, as if it was a promise to Beichuan Temple.
Kitagawa Temple didn't bother to stay on this topic, he carried a flashlight and shone it around.
After the chase just now, he had already entered a fairly deep place.
The scenery on both sides has been changed from a long bridge to an indoor corridor and corridor.
"Here it is..."
Kitagawa Temple turned its head sideways.
On the wall next to it hangs a dilapidated wooden sign.
The wooden plaque has a line of scarlet handwriting that is clearly visible.
'In the middle of the womb, those who are not clerics and shrine maidens without permission should leave immediately. ’
This would have been a very common line of handwriting.
But in this gloomy environment, there is an indescribable sense of hideousness.
"Do you leave without permission and without permission, and if you are not a priest, the shrine maiden will leave immediately...?"
Kitagawa Temple narrowed his gaze.
And just listen to the name ...
Between the fetus?
Kitagawa Temple pinched the flashlight and walked inside.
The spacious corridor is lined with small rooms neatly arranged.
In some rooms, the paper doors were broken open by something, and some even fell directly to the ground.
The cobwebs are knotted in the dark, but there is no living creature on them.
Kitagawa Temple walked to the first room with a flashlight.
It is a Japanese-style room with standard furniture.
A small wooden cabinet, a confused bronze mirror on the table, and a futon spread haphazardly on the floor.
There was even a small window at the table in the room.
Kitagawa Temple stepped into it and stretched out his hand to push the window open.
In front of Kitagawa Temple is the sparkling lake.
This piece of safe fetus falls on a thick piece of land, with the Moon Lake on the side.
From here, you can see the path from Kitagawa Temple and a small wooden path on the right.
This small wooden path should lead directly to the temple in front of the mountain.
Kitagawa Temple groaned slightly, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find something.
If you look at the bronze mirror alone, this should be a woman's room.
Combined with the obvious meaning of the name "between the fetus" in the front, it is not difficult to think that this should be a place similar to the Sifang family as a fetal delivery.
It is no wonder that it has been designated as a place that ordinary people cannot enter.
Kitagawa Temple searched for the contents of this, but unfortunately did not find any valuable information.
Some are just a few handwritten letters that I don't know who to hand them over.
Kitagawa Temple was not discouraged either.
There are so many rooms between the fetus, and there is always some information to be found in these rooms.
Even if you can't get any information, that's fine.
In addition to the safe fetus, there was still a considerable part of the sacrificial area behind the mountain that was enough for him to explore.
In these places, there will always be some information about the witch of the moon and the altar of the four directions.
And those... This is also the goal of Kitagawa Temple.
