Rina vanished.

Without resentment as a spirit energy, she would not be able to survive in the world.

Her obsession seems to have been completed in the end.

Should... Done, right?

Do the gods of Rina and Asaoka still exist in another way in this place close to the Yellow Spring?

Kitagawa Temple is not clear.

He could only look up at the white paper lantern hanging above his head.

Two of the lanterns shimmered faintly.

Compared to the cold flickering candles in the shrine, these two small candles flickered and struggled, exuding a subtle but warm glow.

This light was reflected on Beichuan Temple's body, and it only made him feel inexplicably full of strength.

Under this burst of warm light, even with Nishikujo pity, it seems that he is in a lot of energy.

The system prompt sounds:

The host gains an instant status: 'Blessing of the Shrine Maiden'.

Beichuan Temple was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously opened the system page.

None of the physical fitness has changed, but—

I don't know when the dead gas that consumed more than half of it has been restored to its full value.

On the line of characteristics, Beichuan Temple clearly saw a line of small characters.

Blessing of the Shrine Maiden (instant status): Increases the recovery rate of death qi and stamina.

Although there is no reward for skill points, this status is more useful to Kitagawa Temple.

With this status, you can continue to explore the shrine.

Resolve the entire incident earlier.

"Thank you." Kitagawa Temple looked up and thanked the lantern hanging from the ceiling.

The candle flame flickered, as if to say goodbye.

Feeling the strength of the gradually recovering in the body, Kitagawa Temple is more confident in the next exploration of the shrine -

As long as you find the altar of the Divine Flower Welcoming Ceremony, then there will be no problem in solving the Knife Maiden.

Kitagawa Temple opens the last door.

This time, there is no familiar view of the long bridge, but the high ceilings and the old Japanese-style sliding door rooms are in view.

It is entirely clear that there were traces of the people who lived here in the past, and the floor has obviously been repaired.

If the place where the Knife Maiden is located is the Kamiju Division, then this should be the place where the Shenzhu Clan's family lives.

Compared to the grand mansions of the Fen family, these Japanese-style houses where the Shinju family lived undoubtedly had a sense of purity and solemnity.

The neatly paved rooms are neatly distributed, and the hallways are as neat as the squares.

Kitagawa Temple opens the first door.

This is supposed to be the place where the shrine maidens eat, and there are many dining tables on the ground, and the black hunting clothes worn by the head of the house are hung at the top.

It doesn't seem like there's much to investigate, but Kitagawa Temple still goes in and searches.

This search, he really found some records.

'The head of the family always takes care of and prefers Maki-e, why?' It's clear that Makie is not a person who resides in the family, but a foreigner, why is he always favored by the head of the family? ’

"Even the food is different from ours, and now I can't understand the thoughts of the head of the family at all, right?" ’

It's like a small note to make a small report to a friend.

"Maki-e...?" Kitagawa Temple chanted the name.

From the contents of the note, it can be seen that this 'maki-e' should not be a member of the god-resident family, but the head of the god-resident family is very fond of this 'maki-e'.

According to the records from the previous investigation, the house of God should live separately from the person who separates the family... So why is there another 'maki-e' popping up all of a sudden?

Could it be that there is something strange about this maki-e?

When it comes to the strangeness, Beichuan Temple naturally thinks about the Soul Suppression Twins.

But—

Shouldn't the Soul Suppression Twins be called Divine Hiiragi?

Beichuan Temple subconsciously touched the outer layer of his waist bag.

There, the hardness of the ebony hairpin made his eyes twinkle.

Anyway, write down the clue first.

Kitagawa Temple didn't waste time in a dining room, and after jotting down this clue in his mind, he continued to grope his way to the depths of the god's house.

God resides in his own home.

The secret hidden in this must be beyond the ordinary.

......

The complex is neatly planned and has a very concentrated function.

This also greatly reduces the difficulty of exploring Beichuan Temple.

He was going to the main room and the library room.

It is in these two places that the previously critical clues can be found.

As the temple continued to explore inward, the vermilion walls that had been stained with black marks seemed to be a little wrong.

"It's—"

Kitagawa Temple was stunned, stretched out his finger and wiped it vigorously on the wall.

The lime-white powder stains the tip of the index finger white.

It may seem like an ordinary stone white, but—

Compared with the wall skin in front, the wall skin here seems to have a touch of pale yellow feeling.

Could it be that the humidity is heavier here?

Kitagawa Temple lifted the flashlight again and continued to walk forward.

Another crossroads.

Beichuan Temple originally planned to follow the pace just now, first explore the left and right, and then touch the depths, but-

"Let go of me! Let me go! ”

The immature and distant child's voice sounded from behind, and Kitagawa Temple turned around, just in time to see a man wearing a priest's hunting suit and a high-crowned hat dragging the child to the ground and walking towards the middle of the road in front of him.

Afterimage?

Beichuan Temple did not hesitate and ran directly in the direction where the remnant was going.

But Beichuan Temple never thought that this run would take five or six minutes.

"Here?"

Kitagawa Temple stopped and looked to the sides.

There are rooms on the left and right sides of the corridor in the middle.

But it's not so much a room on either side as it is closer to a fenced dungeon.

There are four small low rooms from left to right.

A long square wooden fence is inserted into the floor and ceiling from the bottom up.

There was nothing in each room except a low desk and a barrel for excretion.

Kitagawa Temple does not have a key. So he kicked the wooden fence and got into the first room.

The first room was covered with thick stacks of white paper.

Now the white paper has been yellowed, but the immature handwriting on it is faintly recognizable.

There were bits and pieces of words written on it.

The general meaning is that I shouldn't fight with anyone, and as a member of God's house, I should help each other.

This line of sloppy and childish sentence formation, it is not difficult to see that the actual age of the author is not very old.

"That is to say... Is this a child's confinement chamber? ”

Any little child who does something wrong will be sent to this confinement cell.

No wonder there is nothing in it, and it is a wooden fence.

As a confinement room, there is really no need to put too many things, and with the strength of a child, it is indeed impossible to break the wooden fence as easily as Kitagawa Temple.

"There are three more..."

The gaze of Kitagawa Temple is deep.

His intuition told him that he seemed to be able to learn a little bit about the god resident Maki-e here.
