In the middle of the small wooden house, a girl in a lily robe knelt on the ground, and in front of her was a burning fire.

"Kotohime, can you succeed?" Standing next to the girl was a middle-aged man in a rough cloth robe, his beard looking a little strange under the reflection of the firelight.

"Even if we can't succeed, this is only our last resort, otherwise our village will only be ......destroyed," replied the girl known as Kotohime, "Father, please go outside the house and let everyone look at the circle." ”

The man nodded and walked out of the cabin.

The girl picked up the sharpened knife on the ground and slashed her index finger, squeezing out two drops of blood into the burning flames.

"The spirits born of nature, the demons who pull up the mountains and rivers, the supreme gods...... Suck my blood, eat my body, and give me the power to surpass the limits of humanity......"

Kotohime is just an eleven-year-old girl, but she is also the granddaughter of the village chief, and the spirit baby who communicates with the gods.

The so-called spirit baby is a child who can communicate with the gods in every village and is not more than fourteen years old. Boys are called spirit men, and girls are called spirit women.

Ten days ago, a huge monster suddenly appeared in the mountains north of the village, and it ate two people who had gone up the mountain to chop wood, and the man who had fled back had been bedridden ever since.

Four days ago, the monster had infiltrated the village in the dark of night, snatched a cow from the village, and trampled most of the crops.

Yesterday, the village organized a group of young warriors to hunt down the monster, and in the end all of them never returned.

Just when everyone was in despair, Kotohime found a bone plate left by her ancestors from her home.

The skull plate contains a ritual circle, which does not indicate what it was used for, but it does indicate that if the village is destroyed, it can be used to save the village from fire and water.

"In the end, can you only rely on what your ancestors left behind?" said Kotohime, following what was written on the bone plate.

"My blood is exhausted, my body is destroyed, my form is buried in the flames, my heart is in the sky!

Outside the wooden house, the villagers waited quietly around the circle that Kotohime had placed in pebbles and wood, and the dark clouds overhead made of rain vaguely appeared.

With a "squeak", the door of the wooden house was opened, and Kotohime came out of the wooden house, looked around at the surrounding villagers, and she said, "Begin." ”

The man just now, Kotohime's father, raised the torch and lit the wood in the circle.

Jean walked into the burning circle in her robe, but miraculously, the flames did not ignite her robe, but swirled around her as if dancing.

The flames made a "whirring" sound and gathered around Kotohime, slowly forming a ring at her feet.

"Open it!

I saw that the flames under Kotohime's feet spread out in both directions, forming the same ring of flames on her left and right sides.

"Boom!" With a flash of light, the air resounded with the sound of explosion.

"Oh no, it's going to rain!" said Kotohime's father urgently.

"Don't panic. An elderly woman on the side leaned on crutches and said, "That's the heavens' response to Kotohime." ”

"Boom!" was another thunderbolt, this time louder.

"Boom!" was overhead, and this time the thunder sounded directly above Kotohime.

"Boom!" two bolts of lightning fell from the sky and hit the rings of fire on either side of Kotohime impartially.

Two rays of light burst out from the circle of fire that was hit, and they shot straight into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds in the sky.

The clouds cleared, and the sun shone down on the earth again. When the villagers returned to the circle because of the light just now, they found that there were two more people in the circle besides Kotohime.

Two young men and women dressed in strange costumes.

Moving the two to the village chief's house gave Kotohime a chance to observe the two of them.

Both of them are in their twenties, and the man looks very ordinary, but there is a not very obvious scar on the right corner of his mouth. The clothes on his body were brightly colored, and they were not as rough as cloth clothes, like the silk clothes of those nobles. The shoes under the soles of the feet are also very strange, not straw sandals or cloth shoes, they are made of something that Kotohime does not know.

The woman was very beautiful, with fair and smooth skin, short black hair, and her clothes were as black and shiny as hair. Kotohime reached out and touched her clothes, clinging to her body as if they were part of her body. It also feels like touching jade, so Qin Ji can't help but sigh that this kind of clothes can really exist in the world?

"Kotohime. The old grandmother just now asked Jean-hime, "Are these two the ones who can save the village?"

"Yes. "My heart tells me that they are the saviors of the village," she affirmed. ”

This old grandmother is Qin Ji's grandmother, who used to be the spirit girl of the village, named Qin Xin.

"West wind. Qin Xin said to Qin Ji's father, "Go and get a bowl of water." ”

"Okay. ”

After Zephyr left, Qin Xin said to Qin Ji: "Qin Ji, I originally thought that you would not be able to complete this summoning, but your spiritual power is still beyond my imagination......

"Grandma'......"

"Haven't you always wanted to see the world outside the village, and if you can survive this crisis, you can go. ”

"Really?" Qin Ji suddenly smiled, but hesitated, "But if I leave, won't there be no spirit baby in the village......?"

Qin Xin stroked Qin Ji's head and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I think your little sister has the qualifications to become a spirit girl." ”

"Suzuhime, she's coming back?"

"Well, your grandfather will come back with him, too. So you don't have to worry, with Suzuhime and your grandfather here, the village will be fine. ”

Just as Kotohime was happy, Zephyr had already returned with a bowl of water.

"Mother, the water is coming. ”

Qin Xin took the bowl and wiped some water from the corner of Qin Ji's eye, "This is what Lingwa must do before leaving the village, so that it is as if you have shed tears, and your tears will flow into the land of your hometown." No matter what happens from now on, you must not shed tears, but face everything strongly, you know?"

"Yes, Grandma. Kotohime nodded firmly.

"However, if it were you, Grandma would also be relieved to let you go alone. Your father left the village when he was your age, and when he returned, he brought your mother with him. ”

Kotohime raised her head to look at Zephyr, who didn't say anything, just touched Kotohime's head lovingly.

Suddenly, the woman lying on the bed sat up, her eyes staring straight at the three of them.

Qin Xin patted Qin Ji on the back and said, "This is a messenger from heaven, you are the spirit baby of the village, let you communicate with her." ”

Jean Ji stood up, solemnly bowed to the woman, and said, "Messenger from the Heavenly Realm, this is the Kamui village of the Bein Kingdom, which belongs to the jurisdiction of the Holy See of Moon. I'm the spirit girl of this village, Kotohime. ”

The woman tilted her head, her eyes full of doubt and incomprehension.

What's going on? Did you not explain it clearly? The angel didn't seem to understand what he meant.

Jean-hime wanted to explain it again, but the woman got out of bed and came to him-hime, stretched out her index finger and pressed her forehead.

Qin Xin and Zefeng didn't move, they didn't know what the angel wanted to do, and Qin Ji didn't resist, so they could only wait silently.

Finally, the woman withdrew her hand and said, "I can't receive the server signal, C0193, and now I'm starting to enter self-discipline mode." ”

"Self-discipline?"

"System, check for damage to the body...... After the inspection, the body is in good condition. Start reading cloud memories...... Unable to connect to the server and start reading the local memory...... The memory is read, and the system database is updated. C0193, start-up completed. ”

After talking to herself, the woman looked at Qin Ji and said to her, "General-purpose autonomic robot, Type C 0193 is at your service, please instruct." ”

The three of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say, and they hadn't even figured out what was going on now.

"That...... Who did you just say you were?"

"I'm a general-purpose autonomous robot, Type C No. 0193. She replied.

"Your name is so long?"

"I don't have a name, my number is C0193. ”

"I don't have a name, so what does that person mean?"

"A general-purpose autonomous robot, an advanced robot that relies on a native computer for self-management. Robots are those that do not have the characteristics of biological life to computers...... If a discrepancy is detected between the user's cognition and the local database, C0193 enables the advanced autonomic mode. ”

What is the Advanced Self-Discipline Mode?

And the woman suddenly changed her stiff expression just now, and sat back on the bed with a "snap", "What the hell? I'm just a robot, can I even encounter this so-called crossing? And what kind of place is this? There is no ...... in the database."

"Ahem...... "Kotohime coughed to deliberately attract the other party's attention.

"Oh, is that you, the culprit who got me here. ”

"Eh, culprit, no, I'm just ......"

"You just summoned me the way the ancestors did, didn't you?"

Kotohime nodded, a little scared, but had to face the woman.

"Hahahaha......" The woman suddenly laughed and said, "Don't look like that, I'm just teasing you." I don't blame you, on the contrary, I have to thank you. ”

"Thank me?"

"Hmm. The woman took Kotohime's hand and said, "Thank you for summoning me here, so that I can leave the signal circle of the main server and truly have my own consciousness." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Ah, you can't understand what I told you, anyway, you just need to know that you saved me. The woman said happily, "Didn't you summon me to protect your village? ”

When the three of them heard this, they all smiled. Now the village is really saved.

"But...... Who's that other person?"
