What the hell is this?

The body is more than half the size of the butterfly you usually see, and the torso is purple with some small black spots on it. As for the wings, they are very special, and they look as if they are made of light. Between the dances, the light particles released give people a dreamlike feeling.

This kind of creature should only appear in fairy tales, and it is impossible to exist in reality.

The frequency of the butterfly's flapping wings gradually decreased, and finally stopped.

To Sakurasaki's surprise, it didn't fall because of this, and just stood still in mid-air.

How do you do that?

"Smack!"

A crisp popping sound sounded, and the Soul Returning Butterfly was like a balloon that had been inflated to the limit, and suddenly the whole thing exploded. However, its body did not fall apart, but turned into countless golden points of light, and fell slowly.

"Hey!"

When the voice came, the girl subconsciously closed her eyes. Then I felt that it was wrong, and I opened my eyes again and was about to dodge, but I don't know why, my body suddenly couldn't move.

Countless points of light fell from the sky, as if attracted by some kind of power, and they all concentrated on Sakurazaki Hirano. Most of them seeped into her body silently, and some even fell directly into her eyes.

The blue pupils gradually lost their lustre, and the expression on the girl's face slowly froze.

It was raining incessantly.

The dark clouds seemed to fall down at any moment, blocking out almost all the light, making the earth as dark as night.

Sakurazaki Hirano looked around and found himself standing in the midst of ruins.

Collapsed houses, broken walls, and horrific sights. Moreover, she also smelled an unusually strong smell of blood, and even the current heavy rain could not dilute the nasty smell.

"That's it...... Where?"

The girl's eyes were full of confusion, she should have been near the shrine of her house just now! Why did she suddenly come to this strange place?

Well, it's a bit wrong to say strange. I can't tell why, the moment she saw these ruins and broken walls, she felt very desolate inexplicably.

Deep down, there is a deep sense of powerlessness.

"Ah......h

The sudden screams frightened Sakurazaki Hirano and shrunk his shoulders. She looked around with a disturbed look, trying to figure out where the sound was coming from.

"Crackling. ”

A silver serpent finally pierced through the blockade of the black clouds, restoring the light of the heavens and the earth to a light that had only been seen for a few seconds. However, with this fleeting light, the girl could vaguely see that on the other side of the ruins, there seemed to be an object like a hill.

Probably a building!

On top of that, there seemed to be a person standing on top of the thing.

"Let's go check it out!"

Since he didn't know what the current situation was, Sakurazaki Birano thought it was necessary to find someone to ask for clarification, so he didn't think much about it, and immediately pulled his legs and ran over there.

However, when Sakurazaki got closer and closer to Rano and finally saw the true face of the "mountain", he was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground.

That's not a small hill at all.

Countless strange creatures that had never been seen before were stacked on top of each other, forming a behemoth that was three or four meters tall. Some of these creatures look like centipedes, some look like spiders, some have human-like forms, and many others don't know how to describe them.

The only thing that is the same is that these things are already dead. The colorful blood that flowed from their bodies was washed by the rain and collected in the low-lying areas. Even the air seemed to be filled with all kinds of disgusting stench.

"Gross!"

Sakurazaki Hirano covered his mouth so hard that he barely allowed himself to vomit on the spot.

Even if these things were not non-human, the sudden encounter with such a bloody scene still made her feel sick to her stomach.

"What the hell is going on?"

Although he had never seen them with his own eyes, Sakurazaki Hirano did see descriptions of these creatures in books many times.

Monsters, the kind of legendary existence zài, but the girl always thought that those things were just fiction.

But now they appeared before their eyes, although they were no longer alive.

Are you dreaming?

No, when the rain drops on your face, the cold feeling is undoubtedly real.

"Whoa!"

One resembled a centipede, but a two-meter-long youkai rolled down from the top of the corpse mountain, and the other rolled to the girl, almost touching her toes.

Sakurazaki Hirano jumped backwards almost instinctively.

Although this thing is long dead, it is still scary!

With a few taps on her chest, the girl raised her head and looked up.

With the help of a faint light, Sakurazaki Hirano saw that the person standing on the mountain of corpses was a young girl. What surprised her especially was that that person, like her now, was also a witch in white clothes and a scarlet hakama.

It's just that her white clothes are as if they have been splashed with dye, stained with all kinds of disgusting colors.

But what Sakurazaki knows is that it wasn't some dye, but the blood of youkai.

No matter how much the rain washes away, it can't wash the blood off her body.

The scarred shrine maiden lady turned her back to the sky, leaving only one back for Sakurazaki Hirano. The sandalwood paper used to bind the hair was also gone, and the long purple hair hung down casually, looking a little messy. In her right hand was a long bow dripping with blood.

It's not clear, though, whether the blood is from the group of monsters beneath her feet, or her own.

Looking at the lonely back of the shrine maiden, Sakurazaki Hirano felt a sadness that went deep into the bone marrow.

"Are you crying?"

Even if she didn't see each other's faces, the girl just felt like that.

It was as if it was none other than herself who was standing there.

"Excuse me......"

There are so many things she doesn't understand, and Sakurazaki Hirano desperately needs someone to explain to her right now.

Hearing the voice, the purple-haired witch's body trembled slightly, and it took a long time before she slowly turned her head.

Lightning flashed in the sky again, allowing Sakurazaki Hirano to see each other clearly.

It was a face she saw every day.

"Hiss......"

The girl couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, what's going on, why does the other party look exactly like her?

When the shrine maiden noticed her, she suddenly began to laugh. While laughing, he kept crying.

Her mouth kept opening and closing, as if she was saying something, but Sakurasaki Hirano couldn't hear it at all.

"Damn, the rain is too loud. ”

As a last resort, she had to move a little closer.

Of course, she didn't dare to get too close, and those bloody monster corpses always made her heart furious.

"Hey, what the hell are you trying to say?"

After trying a few times, Sakurazaki still couldn't muster up the courage to climb this mountain of corpses, and finally had to stand below and shout.

I waited for a long time, but I didn't hear the other party's answer.

"Impolite guy. ”

Forget it, let's leave her alone!

Maybe go to someone else and get the answer a little faster.

Having made up his mind, Sakurazaki Hirano planned to leave.

However, as soon as she turned around, the girl found that the witch who was supposed to stay on the corpse mountain had slipped behind her quietly at some point, and was now staring at her expressionlessly.

Looking at each other, Sakurazaki Hirano only felt a tightening in his heart.

"Hey, you're ......"

was about to ask a question, but the other party suddenly reached out and pressed it on her chest, and then pushed it hard.

"Ugh!"

Sakurazaki Birano fell backwards involuntarily, and then she subconsciously glanced behind her.

It's good not to look at it, but this look almost frightened her. I saw that from the mountain of monster corpses, a hideous head suddenly came out, and opened its bloody mouth at her.

"Wow, aa

When Sakurazaki Hirano came to his senses, he found that he was almost drenched in cold sweat.

There was no so-called terrifying youkai behind her who was ready to eat her, only the familiar approach. The scenery that once borered her was now so beautiful.

What happened before seemed to be just a nightmare.

No, it was a dream.

Maybe when I saw the butterfly, the dream had already begun.

However, this dream is so vivid that just thinking about it makes my whole body tremble involuntarily, and even if I hug my shoulders hard, I can't make it stop.

What she felt in her dreams always lingered in her mind.

Sadness, pain, helplessness.

and bottomless despair.

A large number of negative feelings are desperately suppressed, so that the girl is about to suffocate.

After being stunned for a long time, Sakurazaki gradually regained his composure. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long breath.

The shrine maiden costume on her body became completely wet, clinging to her skin, making people feel very uncomfortable.

Sakurazaki Hirano put his long sleeves to his nose and sniffed a few times, and immediately frowned.

"Let's go and change out of clothes!"

Thinking of this, the girl immediately stood up, turned around and stepped on the stone steps of the approach, and ran quickly towards the mountain.

On the top of a large tree about a few hundred meters from the shrine, two girls dressed as maids are silently watching Sakurasaki's every move.

"Target discovery. I SAID, VIVIT, IS THAT GUY THE ONE THE LEADER WANTS US TO FIND?"

The red-haired girl asked the person next to her, and at the same time raised her hand to straighten the scarf that had been accidentally touched.

"Comparing ......"

Another girl, who looked and dressed exactly like her, pressed the strange device on her left eye, and a ticking sound sounded, and the numbers on the yellow-green screen began to change, and soon stopped at a certain value.

"The proofreading is complete, and there is no doubt that this person is exactly what we have to find, VIVIT-r. ”

"But, no matter how you look at it, she's just an ordinary human!"

The girl called VIVIT-r pouted, why did the leader say that this kind of ordinary person was one of their most powerful helpers?

"Well, maybe it's because she hasn't woken up yet. ”

AS SHE SPOKE, VIVIT TOOK OFF THE DETECTOR AND PUT IT IN HER ARMS.

"Hm...... Maybe!"

The maid groaned slightly, and although there was still a look of hesitation on her face, she did not deny her words.

"So, do we need to get in touch with her?"

If he can convince the other party to join his side, the leader will be very happy.

After all, for this stage, the more combat power they have, the more chance they have to win.

"Dissent. ”

TO HER SURPRISE, VIVIT VETOED HER WITHOUT THINKING.

"The time is not yet ripe, and early contact could have an impact on the next steps. ”

If it is known by the people over there, it is not good to prepare in advance.

"Well, you have a point......

VIVIT-r thought for a moment and had to agree with the other party's point of view.

Hawkers, anyway, that little girl can't escape from their palms, so there's no need to rush at all.

"Go back first and tell the chief. ”

"Understood. ”

A gust of wind blew, and the tree was empty......
