Chapter 2 The Unaffordable Price
Nana Hashimoto was not surprised to look at the black shadow that was beaten out of Matsumura Sayuri's body, and covered his mouth tightly, and Mai Shiraishi behind him also made the same action, although the two of them were very scared at the moment, they didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the onmyoji in front of them. After all, for the two of them, who were still underage girls, the black shadow in front of them who had been expelled from their friends was really a little scary.
The dark shadow resembled a piece of charcoal in appearance, with small, withered limbs and an extremely thin appearance, but with a large belly and a mouth as thin as the eye of a needle. This ugly appearance really frightened the two girl idols, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi, after all, the two of them usually come into contact with the glamorous showbiz and cute girl idol teammates, and they are naturally instinctively afraid of this ugly and terrible thing. Especially Mai Shiraishi, who was already timid, she almost shrunk into a ball and hid behind Nanami Hashimoto, but because of her worry about Sayuri Matsumura, she still poked her head out of Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder and stared at her friend who fell in the pentagram in fear.
"Just a Kapoli, dare to resist in front of me?" Onmyoji's tone was full of disdain, as if he was very contemptuous of the dark shadow in front of him.
This monster, which was called Kapali by the Onmyoji, also seemed to be very afraid of the Onmyoji in front of him, endured the pain on his body, and turned around to escape.
Nana Hashimoto looked at the Onmyoji in front of her worriedly, and wanted to open her mouth to remind, but she was afraid of disturbing the Onmyoji, so she could only watch anxiously.
However, the Onmyoji didn't care, just stretched out his left hand and grabbed it, and said, "I said that you can go?" I saw that Ka Po Li, who had already climbed to the door of the social affairs office, was dragged back as if he was being grabbed by an invisible hand, and hung above the pentagram.
Onmyoji glanced at Nanami Hashimoto, who was barely supporting herself, and Mai Shiraishi, who was hiding behind her, and pointed to Sayuri Matsumura who had fallen in the pentagram and said, "Drag her out." ”
Nana Hashimoto hurriedly reached out and dragged Matsumura Shayuri out of the pentagram, and Mai Shiraishi also had the courage to reach out to help.
After Matsumura Sayuri was dragged out, the onmyoji's left hand was pressed down, and Ka Poli, who was originally hanging in the air, was smashed heavily into the pentagram.
Then the onmyoji pressed the sword with his left hand and shouted: "Burn!" "The five white candles placed on the five sharp corners of the pentagram burned, emitting white, green, blue, red, and yellow light.
Seeing that the candle was lit, the onmyoji never changed the sword in his hand, drew a five-pointed star on his chest, and one finger was pressed into the five-pointed star array, and Kapali chanted: "Bind! With his voice, five chains shot out from the pentagram and bound Kavali firmly.
The Onmyoji, who put down his left hand, looked at Ka Po Li, who was bound to the pentagram array and was constantly struggling and wailing, and sneered: "I said that the price of letting me make a move is something that you can't imagine if you sink into the Hungry Ghost Dao for a thousand years. Now get out of here and repent in Infernal Hell! After speaking, the Onmyoji slashed with the red scimitar in his right hand, and a red vertical line appeared in the pentagram array.
The red line is slowly opening like a door, and Nana Hashimoto on the side didn't see that as the red line unfolded, a scorching breath mixed with sparks erupted from inside, and when this breath sprayed on Ka Po Li's body, Jia Po Li burned violently, but although it looked like the fire was raging, it was not damaged at all on the floor where the pentagram was drawn under Ka Po Li's body.
When the red line opens like a door, it becomes a red circle of light. Nana Hashimoto didn't see that in the red circle of light that looked like a door, countless humanoid figures were scorching and wailing in flames, just as she had read about Infernal Hell in a book.
With a wave of his left hand, the Onmyoji was thrown into the five-pointed star array. Then with the onmyoji's "He! The door to the Infernal Hell slowly closed.
Onmyoji put the red scimitar in his hand back into the original box, and after pasting the charm, he looked at Nanami Hashimoto and the other three who seemed to be greatly shocked.
"Is that Infernal Hell?" Nanami Hashimoto, who felt that her legs were trembling a little, gritted her teeth and stood up, and couldn't help but ask the onmyoji in front of her.
Onmyoji looked at Nanami Hashimoto, with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and said: "Yes, that is the last layer of the eight hells depicted in the Buddhist scriptures, the scorching hell of the nose, the words of the nasal are nothing, the words of the nose are between the words, there is no time, there is no space, and there is no limit to the realm of karma, so the hell of the nose is also called the infernal hell." ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't hear Onmyoji's explanation, and nodded her little head to show that she understood. At this time, Mai Shiraishi, who was standing up behind her, gently pulled the corner of her clothes and reminded in a low voice: "Nanamin! ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't react, and hurriedly bowed to the Onmyoji and said, "Thank you very much for your help, it's really unrewarding for you to help Sha Yuri." ”
The Onmyoji waved his hand, signaled to Nana Hashimoto not to be polite, and said, "Next time, remind your friends not to be so greedy, but the only ones who are possessed by Kapo are lazy women who don't do anything." ”
Hearing the words of the Onmyoji, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi both had embarrassed looks on their faces, Matsumura Sayuri was indeed greedy and couldn't cook. In order to resolve the embarrassment, Mai Shiraishi spoke: "This Onmyoji-sama, I don't know what the cost of exorcism is?" ”
Mai Shiraishi is a little worried in her heart, after all, Nogizaka 46 has just released her first debut single, and the income of the girl idol is not high. Although Mai Shiraishi took on a lot of external chores with her excellent appearance and was one of the highest-paid members of the team, she only earned slightly more than the other members of the team. Nanami Hashimoto's family is even poorer, and he studied at a prestigious university such as Musashino Art University, almost all of Nanami's income was spent on tuition and family support, and he had no savings at all. If at this time, this onmyoji offered a price that the two of them could not afford, and the two of them were simply helpless. But for the sake of her friend, Mai Shiraishi still asked the onmyoji in front of her about the remuneration at the moment, and secretly prayed in her heart that this onmyoji, who seemed to be very capable, would not charge too much.
The onmyoji looked at the beautiful girl who was still scared just now, but at the moment she was holding on to talk to her, and the other girl with an ethereal temperament beside her, and suddenly had a prank idea. So he said, "Since someone introduced you here, I think he should have told you my rules." Saying that, the onmyoji deliberately looked at the two girls in front of him with slightly aggressive eyes, and a malicious smile appeared on his face.
Nana Hashimoto didn't remember the warning of the old mage who introduced them to this shrine, although the owner of this shrine is extraordinary, but his personality is strange, and he and Mai Shiraishi are afraid that they will pay an unbearable price, and their hearts suddenly tightened. Sure enough, Onmyoji's next words confirmed her thoughts.
"I don't need money, the things of the world are useless to me. You must pay a price that satisfies me for this reward. ”
Nana Hashimoto didn't hear this, and her feet suddenly softened, but she was strong by nature and still forced her mouth to speak: "I don't know what kind of price Onmyoji-sama needs to be satisfied?" ”
The onmyoji looked at Nanami Hashimoto with the eyes of the goods and said, "Staying for one night is the price you need to pay." ”
Although Nanami Hashimoto, who gasped for air, was already mentally prepared, he still felt sad in his heart when he heard the onmyoji say that he wanted to stay for one night, and he almost wanted to fall. Mai Shiraishi behind her supported her and said, "Then I'll stay, and ask Master Onmyoji to let my two friends go home first." After all, Sha Youli is weak and needs to rest. ”
Hearing Mai Shiraishi's words, Nana Hashimoto was moved in her heart, but she still hurriedly said, "No, I'll stay and let them leave." ”
Hearing that the two of them rushed to stay, a smile appeared on the face of the Onmyoji who had succeeded in the conspiracy, and said, "There is no need to argue, both of you must stay." As for your friend, although the company is small, there is still a place for her. ”
Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto didn't look at each other, they really didn't expect things to turn out like this, and their eyes were full of sadness. But now that they have decided to pay the price, the two girls can only do what the onmyoji says.
Seeing that Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi had already made a decision, the onmyoji, who had succeeded in his prank, clapped his hands and said, "Ruodie, take these two young ladies to bathe and change clothes first." After speaking, a girl wearing a dark purple gorgeous Tang dress walked in, and the butterfly-shaped hair ornament on the girl's long hair continued to shake with the girl's footsteps, like a real butterfly flapping its wings.
Mai Shiraishi and Nana Hashimoto looked at the girl in front of them in surprise, even the two of them, who were extremely confident in their appearance, couldn't help but admire the girl's beauty. And Nanami Hashimoto is even more curious about where this girl came from.
The young girl, known as Wakadie, saluted Mai Shiraishi and Nanami Hashimoto and said, "Two distinguished guests, please come with me." After speaking, he picked up Matsumura Sayuri who was lying aside, and didn't see any movement from Ruodie, so he easily helped Matsumura Sayuri up with one hand, turned around and walked out the door.
Nana Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi had no choice but to bow to the Onmyoji and follow the girl named Ruodie.
Behind them, what Nana Hashimoto didn't see was that the onmyoji, who had always behaved very coldly, had a smug smile on his face as soon as they turned around: "I don't know what they mean when they know I just let them stay and dance the Kagura Ball." ”
