Chapter 186: Death Priest
In the end, Raizen and Anne were unable to enter the shrine, and according to the woman's answer behind the gate, the shrine's high priest and the great shrine maiden had left the shrine for several days and were headed for Ise Jingu. And before the Grand Priest left, he had already ordered a temporary suspension of receiving outsiders, and it had been as long as a month.
Because of this order, Lei Chan and Anne were not allowed to enter the shrine. In the end, Lei Chan had no choice but to give the letter to the woman behind the gate, and rented it at a nearby hostel. Fortunately, there is a creed given by the people in the shrine, and the owner of the nearby inn still gives face to let Lei Chan and Anne stay.
Although the room for the two was arranged at the end of the corridor, and it was repeatedly emphasized that the two should not enter and leave the hostel at will, so as not to cause panic, they finally gave the two a place to stay.
...
After packing his luggage, Lei Chan sat down, took the boiling water handed over by Anne, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?" Anne asked curiously.
"You may not believe it, but my gut tells me that this time it will be very dangerous!" Lei Chan replied softly, "You have to promise me that no matter what happens this time, you must be by my side." The last time we were separated in the magic capital, it must not happen again, okay? β
Annie's heart sank, after all, the intuition of the fighting god has always been a meme. But after coming into contact with 'Olivia', Anne knew that this matter was far from being as simple as the situation in front of her. Until this moment, Anne also had the same feeling as Lei Chan, and there seemed to be some trap waiting for the two of them to get into.
Anne nodded, grabbed Lei Chan's hand with cold hands, and comforted him in a wide voice: "This time it will definitely be fine, right?" We fled all the way here from such a far place in Shuzhong, no matter how fierce the ghosts were, we will definitely be fine! I'll help you change your dressing! β
The wound on Lei Chan's body at this time was already healed under the effect of the broken peachwood sword, except for the gunshot wound on his shoulder that had not yet healed, everything else was no longer a concern. But just as Anne wanted to change the medicine for Lei Chan, the backpack that was placed on the side suddenly fell forward, as if someone had deliberately taken it down.
The two glanced at each other, and Lei Chan hurriedly got up and walked over and opened his backpack. I saw that something in the backpack was constantly undulating, which was the burden handed over to the two by the old witch before leaving. Lei Chan hurriedly opened the baggage, only to see that the two pieces of Shikishen paper with the names of the old witch and the old man Ikeda written on them were constantly reddening at this time. Every time it reddened, a breath of heat emanated.
Even Lei Chan and Anne didn't know what this meant, and they guessed that the old man Ikeda and the old witch were already doing something. Looking at the shocking red light, Lei Chan only felt a touch of ominous premonition faint in his heart.
At this moment, Anne only felt as if something was peeking at her, and subconsciously looked towards the corner of the window. Almost at the same time, Lei Chan had the same feeling, he saw Annie's gaze, and almost without hesitation, he pulled out the peachwood broken sword and threw it towards the corner of the window!
According to the normal laws of physics, this peachwood broken sword should hit the wall and fall to the ground because it was blocked. But when the broken sword of peach wood flew over, it stopped in the air strangely, as if it had been inserted into something. A flash of black gas appeared out of thin air, and with a strange scream, the black gas suddenly became larger and turned into a cloud of black mist, and finally disappeared. It was only at this time that the Broken Peachwood Sword fell to the ground.
At the same time, Lei Chan's face turned pale for a while, and the gauze on his shoulders began to faintly redden, apparently the wound had broken open again.
Noticing Lei Chan's pale face, Anne didn't care to look at the broken peachwood sword, so she quickly knelt down beside Lei Chan, pulled his coat, and sure enough, she saw the reddened gauze on her shoulder. Anne was about to help Lei Chan change the dressing, but Lei Chan stopped her and said: "Time is running out, most of the thing that was inserted just now is a curse, it seems that the old man and the old witch's method should not work, let's go to the shrine again." β
Anne nodded, but insisted on helping Lei Chan change her dressing before setting off, but when she pulled her backpack over, she couldn't help but pat Lei Chan on the shoulder.
Lei Chan looked in Annie's direction, but was stunned! The two pieces of Shikijin paper with their names written on them have been completely cut off...
...
A dilapidated shrine in the countryside
The old man Ikeda fell to his knees panting, and beside him was the old witch who was lying on the ground. The old witch looked down at this time, and she didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and the messy runes and white lines on the ground all showed that there had been a fierce battle here just now.
At this time, the old man Ikeda held an old long sword in his hand, and he panted as he looked at the black resentful spirit floating in the middle of the rune array, and said tiredly: "Wrong! It turns out that we were all wrong! No wonder so many people have died, it turns out that you are the body! It's nothing more than a faΓ§ade! Tangerine! Go find Lei Chan! Tell him the truth! β
Tachibana, who was hiding under a stone lantern not far away, heard Old Man Ikeda's words and fled from the stone steps on one side in a panic.
The resentful spirit floating in the middle of the rune array roared and was about to float towards the orange, but the old man Ikeda roared, and plunged his long sword into the ground with blood spurting blood, and a blue light lit up from the ground, and immediately knocked the resentful spirit back into the formation. At this time, Ju's figure had disappeared at the end of the road, and the old man snorted coldly: "Without your mark on her body, you can't find her!" β
As if provoked by the old man Ikeda, the resentful spirit suddenly burst out with boundless black qi, and the black qi vibrated like black ripples! The old man couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood again, his eyes bulged out, and he looked at his waist and abdomen in disbelief, where there was still a blood mark, even if the upper body was still holding the hilt of the sword, but the lower body fell involuntarily.
At this point, the old witch and the old man Ikeda... Fall!
...
Seeing with his own eyes that the two Shishen paper figures were cut off, Lei Chan couldn't sit still anymore, and pulled Anne to the outside of the shrine again.
This time, the gate finally didn't shut the two out again. The woman who had answered the two earlier seemed to know that they would be coming back. When the two of them appeared outside the gate, she opened the door and let them in.
Under the leadership of this shrine maiden, who was also wearing a shrine maiden costume, Lei Chan and Anne finally entered the shrine. There was a peaceful atmosphere in the shrine, and if it weren't for the fact that the torii gate was full of garbage plates, the two would have thought that nothing had happened here.
Passing through the approach, led by the shrine maiden, Raizan and Anne arrived at the shrine office, where the clergy worked.
After motioning for Razen and Anne to go in by themselves, the shrine maiden turned and left.
When I walked into the social office, there was already a man in a white hunting suit sitting there, who seemed to be a priest.
The priest turned around, smiled at the two of them, and said, "Please take a seat!" β
But it's this evil madness... An ordinary smile, but Lei Chan was stunned!
