Chapter 187: The Old Witch's Plan

It can be said that the priest man who appeared in front of the two was never masked. In other words, Lei Chan knew him, but he didn't know Lei Chan. Or rather, Raizen had only seen him in photographs, because this man was the only young man in the family portrait in Old Man Ikeda's bedroom.

The man didn't know what Lei Chan was thinking, he just squinted his eyes and looked at Lei Chan and Anne carefully, and on the table in front of him was the letter written by the old witch Li.

According to the man's self-introduction, his name is Tanigawa Kumaichi, and he is the priest of this shrine, which is probably the first level of the net rank. And he is also the person indicated in the old witch's letter, who wants Lei Chan and Anne to find.

In good character, Lei Chan and Anne did not have the bad habit of peeking at other people's letters, so naturally they didn't know what the old witch wrote in that letter. However, judging from Tanigawa Kumaichi's attitude, it doesn't seem to be an attack on Anne.

I only heard Tanigawa Kumaichi say: "Your identity, Mother-in-law Ah Li has already written it in the letter. I also know the ins and outs of what happened. I've called the high priest at Ise Jingu, and they'll be back before midnight. Let's stay at the shrine for the time being. By the way, can you give me the Shikijin paper that he and Granny Ah Li handed over to you? ”

Lei Chan wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but when he heard Tanigawa Kumaichi's last words, he couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face, and he took out the two pieces of divine paper from his backpack and put them on the table. Tanigawa Kuma, who was smiling, saw the two disconnected Shijin paper figures, and finally couldn't keep a smile on his face anymore, and then after seeing the names on the Shikijin paper figures, his face turned even bluer.

Anne on the side asked worriedly, "Does this paper figure represent them..."

Tanigawa Kumaichi didn't mean to hide it, nodded without hesitation, looked at the names on the two Shishen paper figures and said: "The two of them have died, the Shikishen paper people represent their lives, and now that the paper people are broken, the two of them are only afraid..."

Even if it was just a guess at first, Lei Chan and Anne didn't want their guess to be right. Although they haven't known each other for a long time, the speculation has been confirmed, and the death of the old witch and the old man Ikeda can't help but make Raiten and Anne feel depressed.

But Tanigawa Kumaichi, who was sitting opposite, quickly cleaned up his mood, looked at Anne with calm eyes and said, "Female donor, can you show me your hand?" ”

Anne was stunned, a little caught off guard by Tanigawa's cold request. She subconsciously glanced at Lei Chan, Lei Chan was also stunned, not knowing what the plans of this man who looked a little white-faced, but he still nodded.

With Lei Chan's consent, Anne stretched out her palm. Tanigawa Kumaichi's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Anne's right hand, and his left hand, which had been on his knees, drew a blue spell out of thin air and slapped it on Anne's hand.

Anne let out a scream, and a scorched aura emanated from Anne's arm. Lei Chan didn't expect Tanigawa Xiong to suddenly attack, and by the time he reacted, Anne had already been hit. Lei Chan, who was furious, directly flipped the table and copied the guy, looking like he was going to overturn Tanigawa Xiong.

And Tanigawa Kumaichi and Annie were also separated because of Lei Chan's behavior of flipping the table. It could be seen that the wound on her arm had hurt Anne greatly, and the cold sweat of Dou Da slipped down her forehead, and Lei Chan even pulled out a short knife to kill Tanigawa Kumaichi.

But at this moment, Tanigawa Xiongyi shouted out a sentence, and it was precisely because of this sentence that Lei Chan stopped.

His words were very simple, this was the arrangement of the old witch!

Lei Chan was stunned, and countless thoughts flashed in his heart in an instant, could it be that the old witch let herself come all the way to bring Annie here, just to let this man attack Annie? He unceremoniously pressed a short knife to Tanigawa's throat and threatened, "If you can't explain all this, this knife will go down your throat!" ”

Tanigawa Xiong didn't mean to hide it, and handed the letter written by the old witch to Lei Chan. However, for Lei Chan, how could he understand the chicken intestines above, and in the end it was Tanigawa Kumaichi who explained.

In the letter, the old witch did not hide that Lei Chan and Anne fled from the Celestial Empire, and also wrote out that Anne was a vampire. After all, it was a clergyman who was in the company of ghosts and gods, and he didn't feel strange because of the special identities of Lei Chan and Annie. The old witch also told Tanigawa Kumaichi about her perception, and Anne was the target of the curse. Except for the scum of society and a few of his friends who were initially targeted, those who were cursed later did not have this 'glory' at all.

The old witch mentioned in the letter that Anne's identity was so special that she might be able to use her as a breakthrough point to solve this disaster, and put a mark on it to attract the cursed spirit.

"So, you're going to use Anne as bait this time?" Lei Chan's face darkened, "Have you figured out how to die?" ”

"Even if I don't, do you think you'll really be able to escape the wraith?" Tanigawa Kumaichi was not afraid of Lei Chan's murderous aura, but showed a wry smile and continued to persuade: "This disaster has swept through most of the 11 districts, and even the Onmyoji family has many people who have died on this curse, not to mention the clergy everywhere. Believe me, we want to end this catastrophe more than you do. The Anne benefactor is the only dark creature we know of that has been targeted by the curse, and she must have what the resentful spirits of the cursed body need. Even without us, the curse would have found her sooner or later, wouldn't it? ”

Lei Chan was stunned for a moment, although he was angry for a while, he didn't ghostwrite for him, he had no brains. He subconsciously looked behind him, Anne, who was still in pain, and the circle mark on her face loomed at this time, as if it was about to disappear. Without hesitation, he put down the short knife in his hand, pulled Tanigawa Kumaichi up and asked, "Even if you want to use Anne as bait, why did you attack her again?" ”

Tanigawa Kumaichi tidied up his messy clothes a little, and said helplessly: "When the two of you arrived, the barrier of the shrine had already been impacted three times, and this hidden charm I placed temporarily isolated the breath of the curse. It can temporarily isolate the connection between the curse mark on Anne's body and the main body, but Anne herself is a dark creature, so naturally she can't stand this..."

Before he finished his words, his face changed again, and he finally had a trace of waves in his calm voice: "It seems that we don't have much time left, and that curse is still impacting the enchantment!" ”

Lei Chan's face also changed, and he subconsciously touched the circle mark on his face, because he and Anne were cursed at the same time, and it was not difficult to guess that the curse was afraid that it would find him. "What should we do next?" Lei Chan asked with a frown.

Tanigawa Kumaichi's eyes narrowed again, and he casually pasted a yellow talisman on Lei Chan's body, and said in a gentle voice again: "Do you remember... That tape? ”

Lei Chan was stunned for a moment...
