Chapter 455: Human Pillar
"Do you have incense with you?"
A soft girl's voice came from behind, and Kiryu turned his head to find a girl with white shoulder-length hair and a black kimono standing behind him.
When Kiryu turned to look at her, there was a moment of obvious disappointment on her face.
Probably the wrong person.
"Let's play a game, a game of hide and seek" The girl ghost held up a faceless humanoid doll: "You find it." ”
After saying that, he disappeared, without giving Kiryu a chance to refuse.
"Hey, I said......"
There was no shadow of the girl's ghost around, and Kiryu had to play hide and seek with her, which was the only person in the entire mountain who could communicate normally so far, and he didn't want to miss it easily.
【Excalibur: You can gain power from special items】
There are currently three items that can be equipped.
Kiryu's first-class selective equipment is available: "Tougher Times", "White Eyes", and "Psychic Crystal Ball", which has a 15% chance to block attacks.
His eyes blinked, and everything in the entire shrine was in full view.
Under the 360-degree gaze, there is almost nothing that can escape Kiryu's first-class eyes, and his attention flies out of the shrine, looking for it inch by inch outside.
"Found it!"
The puppets are not inside the shrine, but under a large tree outside the shrine, and the trees are full of "people", and if you look closely, those people are actually puppets.
They are like wind chimes swaying in the wind.
Kiryu was about to leave from the door of the shrine, but as soon as he took a step, he subconsciously paused, remembering the strange dolls at the entrance of the shrine, he chose to find another way and went out through the window.
Push open the window of the room and jump out.
After making a small circle, he walked from the side of the shrine to the big tree where the faceless puppet was hidden, bent down to pick up the puppet, and Kiryu turned his head to look at the shrine.
The front of the shrine is surrounded by dolls, and they maintain a variety of postures, some lying on the door, looking through the crack in the door, some keeping the movement of looking out, and some standing on tiptoes......
As Kiryu thought first-class, those child dolls were all alive!
"You've found it"
The white-haired girl appeared in front of Kiryu first-class, and she reached out and took the faceless doll from Kiryu's first-class hand, and her body quickly disappeared.
There is no noticeable change in his expression from beginning to end, and it seems that he is bored with Kiryu first-class finding the faceless doll hidden so quickly.
"Hey! Wait a minute! ”
Kiryu subconsciously shouted.
The girl has disappeared, but his voice has managed to attract the attention of the dolls at the entrance of the shrine.
Kaka!
At the same time, the heads of all the dolls turned in unison and looked over.
"That...... Do you recognize that girl? Kiryu said, "I have something I want to ask her." ”
Kada, kada, kada......
The puppets made a sound of wooden planks colliding against each other, and the puppets turned around and stiffened towards Kiryu.
Skin dress-up, Snow Girl!
His black hair turned into long white hair, and the frost covered Kiryu's body, and he raised his palm and gently pushed it forward, and the cold current of whirring and roaring fire blew the branches, making a "brush" sound.
The cold wind swept by, and the dolls were trapped in a huge piece of ice.
"Alas!" Shaking his head, he rounded the ice, passed through the shrine, and continued up the mountain.
At the top of the mountain, he felt someone pulling him forward in the dark.
The traces cannot be seen clearly with the yin and yang eyes, probably due to the influence of the forces that are entangled in the mountain.
There are a lot of black chests inside the palace on the top of the hill.
Kiryu approached one of the black boxes, and the box was pushed open from the inside with a "boom", and his body was soaked in black water, causing the dark witch ghost to appear and pounce on him.
It is different from the witch ghost at the foot of the mountain, but the general dress and state are exactly the same.
He stepped back quickly, his hand resting on the knife at his waist.
Iai Slash!
The witch ghost was cracked in half and disappeared without a trace.
Although this kind of ghost can't be killed, it is not difficult to deal with.
Kiryu walked to the black box again, looked inside, and didn't expect that it was a box of black water, and a woman in a witch costume, sleeping in the water.
Its appearance is exactly the same as the first-class witch ghost who pounced on Kiryu just now!
"I've seen this game ......"
The wet witch, no, it's the raven's witch.
However, the original Kiryu first-class didn't like Japanese-style horror games, so he wasn't very familiar with this game and the entire series.
All he remembered was that the water was wet and the clothes were wet.
Kiryu's first-class series of violent actions have finally attracted the attention of the powerful spirits in the mountains of Hikami.
The light suddenly dimmed, and the illumination range of the mobile phone flashlight was also eroded inch by inch.
Goo goo goo.
At some point, water rose from under his feet, and his palm, which was sticking to the black liquid, stretched out from the water less than 10 centimeters deep and grabbed his ankle fiercely.
Boom!
The knife came out of its sheath, flipped in half a circle in his hand, and stabbed it into the hand and pierced it to the ground.
Kiryu opened his mouth first-class and recited the first explanation: "All things are ashes, and the blades are like fire!" ”
Burst of flame blooms from the blade.
The wrist that grabbed his ankle bloomed, and with a scream, the palm disappeared without a trace.
Holding a flowing blade like fire, Kiryu looked ahead of him.
The real enemy is ahead, and the palm in the water just now is nothing.
It was a woman with a completely black body, and her face was also eroded by the black water, and she couldn't see what she was like before she was born.
As the other party approached step by step, the air began to become viscous.
Kiryu even felt like the air was drilling into his nose like glue when he breathed, sticking to his trachea, making every breath difficult.
Absolutely, don't let the other party get close!
There is a sense of crisis in his body that can drag people into the Yellow Spring.
"Hot hell!"
Kiryu mustered all his strength, and several pillars of fire smashed through the ground and soared into the sky.
As he swung his sword, the pillar of fire quickly converged towards the dark woman.
The heat had begun to evaporate the water that had appeared out of thin air, raising a fog that could block the view, but fortunately, Kiryu had white eyes at this time and could see the fog unhindered.
However, the heat also distorted the light, and he could not see far.
When the pillars of fire are all gathered together...... The explosion, the brilliant fire in the sky, directly ignited the nearby trees!
The flames that burst out jumped four or five meters high towards the sky before they dared to fall.
As the culprit who started the wildfire, Kiryu didn't bother with that, his eyes stared at the black figure that came out of the flames intact.
If you feel it carefully, the other party is not intact, and the suffocation that the other party brings to you has disappeared.
"It works!"
The hot hell is his strongest offensive method at the moment, and the ultra-high temperature of 6,000 degrees is comparable to the surface of the sun, and everything will be in vain within the scope of its envelope.
If it weren't for Kiryu's first-class sword master, he would definitely not have the first slag to be burned before swinging the knife.
But the shrine maiden is only seriously consumed, and she can still support it!
Kiryu took out the blue dew drop chalice bottle, Gu Dongdong took a big sip, stuck out his tongue, and didn't have time to sigh the taste of the blue medicine, most of his mana had recovered, and he raised his head and poured it again.
Blue back to full.
Kiryu first-class swung his sword again.
"It's hot...... Hell! ”
In the second slash, only a pillar of fire appeared.
The pillar of fire detonates from the feet of the female ghost.
The heat wave is rolling, blowing Kiryu's first-class clothes and flying, and the fire rat fur, which is said to be not afraid of flames, is also mottled with traces of char burned by scattered sparks.
Ever!
A knife was inserted into the ground, Kiryu first-class panted a few times with the knife, the blue was empty, and by the way, it also consumed a lot of physical strength, this trick is really not something that ordinary people can use.
He poured blue medicine into his mouth again.
The female ghost has disappeared without a trace, and I don't know if she died under the flames, or if she found that she couldn't beat it, so she took the lead in escaping.
Looking at the flames that were rolling and burning around him, Hisakami Mountain had already turned into a mountain of flames under his two swords.
At this time, the mountain is in urgent need of a heavy rain, otherwise the fire will spread and will be uncontrollable.
Kiryu raised his sword, and a thick cloud quickly gathered overhead, and the rain fell in an instant.
Whoa......
The rain fell on the mountain fire, and a thick water vapor rose, and for a while, the mountain seemed to be incarnated into a fairyland.
The temperature did not drop, but gave Kiryu a feeling that he was a hairy crab in a steamer, and his skin was braised red.
Extinguishing the flame went smoothly and took only ten minutes.
When Kiryu looked down the mountain, he found that only a kilometer or so of the summit had been burned to the ground, while the rest of the mountain was completely unaffected, and there was a force protecting the mountain.
He turned and walked out of the incineration, the biting cold of January and the knife pierced him.
"It's an enchantment!"
Kiryu turned his head and looked back, and suddenly realized.
Someone created an enchantment to protect the top of the mountain, so there is something very important on the top of the mountain.
On the mountain road where I came, a house suddenly appeared, and the ghost of an old woman was smiling and waving to Kiryu.
Finally, he encountered a ghost who could communicate again, and Kiryu immediately walked over.
"You're here~" The old woman said respectfully to Kiryu, "Please go inside and choose Ema as an incense." ”
It's incense again, the white-haired girl said it once before.
"Do you know that dark shadow just now?" Kiryu asked, pointing.
"You come in first," the old woman kept letting Kiryu in.
He didn't perceive the threat in the old woman, and there was not even resentment in the old woman's ghost on the mountain when the resentment was strong.
"Okay," he nodded.
When you enter the house, you will be greeted by a standard Edo period Japanese tatami room.
Walking inside, the shoes step on the tatami mat and make a "stepping" sound.
After passing through the hallway, there is a paper sliding door, and Kiryu first class opens the sliding door and enters the inside, which is a room with various pictures of women on the wall.
Most of them are in their twenties, dressed in white and clean, but they can't see from the photos that they have the joy of getting married, and some are just resolute and dead.
"Sending incense ......"
He looked around, his eyes drawn to one of the photos.
"Hazuki Togashi?"
The other party called him at the time, didn't he say that he had something important to do, and then threw the mess of Rishang Mountain to himself? How can I still see her picture here?
Kiryu took off Tomei's photo of Hazuki and prepared to ask the old woman at the door.
The door opened, and the old woman walked in with a smile: "It seems that you have already chosen the person you are married, please go this way." ”
"You mean, she's here?" Kiryu asked.
"Yes, she's right here."
The old woman nodded and led the way.
Walking through the corridor again, I opened the door to reveal a new room instead of the ruins left behind by the flames that had burned Mt. Hisami.
The purple-haired girl who was kneeling on the ground was kneeling on the ground, looking down and not knowing what to think.
She didn't look up until she heard the door open.
It's Hazuki Togashi!
"How?" The old woman asked.
Hazuki Toona looked at Kiryu first-class, his eyes wandering, and then nodded slightly.
"Congratulations! Congratulations to you on tying the knot, and I won't bother you tonight. ”
She then withdrew, closing the door in passing.
There are only two people left in the room, Kiryu first-class and Hazuki Tona, to be precise, one person and one ghost, and the Hazuki Toman in front of him is dead, just a ghost.
Kiryu didn't talk nonsense, and asked bluntly, "How can I save you?" ”
"It's ...... A special ritual on the mountain, called Yu. She opened her mouth and said, "This mountain has suppressed the night spring since ancient times, preventing the night spring from pouring into the world, and when I came to this mountain to investigate...... Those who were chosen became human pillars. ”
Her words stumbled, as if there were many things that could not be said and were automatically silenced.
“…… The human pillar is responsible for accepting the resentment of the suicidal, bearing their pain, and allowing them to go to the hidden world without worry. After getting married and getting married, the human pillar can be supported for a longer time. ”
"Married?"
"Hmm"
"Then what are you waiting for" Kiryu first-class stepped forward to hug Hazuki Tomei, her body stiffened slightly, but soon her arms were like two snakes wrapped around Kiryu's first-class neck.
The two of them got up from the tatami mats, and everything was pulled by Tomei Hazuki.
Backwards, backwards.
The black box in the corner suddenly opened.
Kiryu has a quick eye and a horizontal knife that blocks the door of the box that opens from the inside out.
He had already learned from the previous chest, where the black chest stored corpses soaked in black water and could not be opened at will, allowing ghosts to move freely.
So after seeing that Ye Yuedongming also had a black box next to him, he reacted.
Look at the inside of the black box, and sure enough! Hazuki Tomei closed his eyes tightly, and his body was soaked in black water.
He quickly reached out and grabbed Ye Yuedong's corpse and pulled it out.
"Let go!"
She also hugged Kiryu's first-class Hazuki Tomei and shouted, but unfortunately the corpse had been dragged out by Kiryu's first-class first-class, and she was also sucked away by the corpse.
The corpse lay flat on the ground, the black water completely soaked her clothes, the clothes became transparent, and they were clinging to her body, Kiryu reached out and put it in front of her mouth and nose, and then reached out to touch the heart of Tomei Hazuki.
"Completely out of breath"
He took out a resurrection coin and put it on Hazuki Dongming's body.
A flash of light flickered.
After a few seconds.
"Ahem!
She coughed up a few mouthfuls of water, opened her eyes, and was distracted when she saw Kiryu's first-class face.
It doesn't look like a death escape at all.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Kiryu complained first-class: "I didn't expect you to be so weak, just a small mountain, and you still die here?" If I hadn't come, you'd ......."
Ye Yuedong pounced on him and hugged Kiryu first-class, interrupting what he wanted to say next.
Feeling her body tremble slightly, Kiryu reached out a little embarrassed, but still didn't hug it.
"Don't think that beauty tricks can offset the grace of life-saving! My Resurrection Coins are expensive! ”
As soon as he heard the word "expensive", Ye Yuedong pushed away Kiryu first-class and said angrily: "It's a big deal, I'll work to make money and pay you back in the future!" It's a big deal, 20 years, 30 years. ”
"Then you probably have to follow me for the rest of your life"
Kiryu sighed, "Good figure. ”
"Ahh Hazuki Tomei reacted, curled up and covered his body, and his cheeks were also red.
The strong psychic master Dongming was angry and ashamed, so he could only clench his fists hard.
Kiryu took off his clothes, changed his appearance, and turned into a shrine maiden costume and handed it to Hazuki Tomei.
After she got dressed, Kiryu walked towards the door with a knife in one hand, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to revenge!" ”
Ye Yuedongming, who was still angry, heard this, looked at the shirtless back in front of him, and nodded heavily: "Hmm! ”
[Message: I didn't expect Kiryu to be first-class, and there was a time when it gave people a feeling of reliability]
Leaving the place that was called the "House of the Married Girl" by Hazuki Tomei, the resurrected Hazuki Tomei will no longer be banned from speaking, and she also began to explain the intelligence information she has.
"Quiet. The marriage ceremony is not as simple as marriage, if the pillar does not agree, the man will definitely die. ”
Her face remained slightly red all the time because of ...... Judging from the situation just now, she did agree that Kiryu was first-class and married her.
However, Kiryu was expressionless, obviously not thinking that far.
How could it not have been thought that far!
Through [Social], Kiryu First-Class can accurately get all the "inner messages" of Hazuki Tomei.
Even if he didn't say anything, Ye Yuedong's favorability was constantly increasing, and he was about to break through 90!
【Tomei Hazuki (shy)】
[Opinion: 90 (Trust)]
[Message: Are we already ...... But this guy is so hateful, he even thinks about money! 】
"If you successfully complete the ceremony, you can go up the ......mountain for a longer time."
A cold wind blew, and she came back to her senses.
Looking at the terrifying war scene in front of me, my brain went blank, who could imagine what this wasteland scene was like the bombing of Tokyo, what it was like before?
"That woman who is completely black, how can you get her?" Kiryu asked.
"You're saying you met the big pillar?"
Hazuki Toona came back to his senses when he heard Kiryu's first-class voice: "Higami Mountain, the main person in charge of the night spring is the big pillar, with extremely high spiritual power, he was imprisoned in a cage before his death, and sacrificed himself to suppress the night spring, until he couldn't bear it, and completely integrated into the night spring."
In addition, there are the central pillars in charge of guarding, as well as bandit girls who have weak spiritual power and can only obtain spiritual power by crushing their limbs, and admonition girls. ”
"The peace of the whole day on the mountain is the result of countless years of shrine maidens sacrificing themselves."
Although she was lucky to be resurrected, Hazuki Dongming was not happy, and she admired those witches who had the courage to sacrifice themselves.
Kiryu couldn't help but ask, "Which psychopath came up with these messy rituals?" ”
It is ironic to put the twenty-eight-year-old witch in a box, and then hope to protect the peace.
"I don't know why Dazhu became like that" Ye Yue Dongming said: "But I did die in her hands, and after my death, I called you uncontrollably, probably ......"
Probably, there really has to be a ghost. In the case of the wedding ceremony, that person also hopes that it is you.
"So, the culprit, Dazhu, is also a poor man."
Kiryu pulled out his knife and said, "It's so pitiful, just send her on the road, how to get to the night spring?" ”
With Hazuki To's guidance, they soon came to the location of the Night Spring.
Pitch-black liquid churned.
And soon a figure emerged from it, it was the big pillar that had been cut away by Kiryu's first-class desperately two knives before, she still looked like she was not injured, and her breath was obviously much weaker.
"I can feel her pain and confusion, and her soul is about to reach its limit. ”
"The pain of the soul? The limit of power? ”
Kiryu quickly rushed towards the black shadow, and before he could react, he grabbed a mask and pressed it against the black-corroded face with the opportunity of the somersault.
["Mask", a strange power carrier formed by the fusion of divine power and spiritual pressure, Skill 1: Soul Amplification (Soul power is increased by 1 times), Skill 2: Hate Burning (wearing a mask will make your soul be scorched and tortured all the time), Skill 3: Mask (After being absorbed into the body, the Grim Reaper can obtain the power of the void)]
In an instant, the black shadow dissipated, revealing its original appearance.
The soul amplification helped its already powerful soul power to be doubled, and the power that could have crushed it instantly became inconspicuous.
Hate the scorching can make her conscious.
As for the skill 3 mask, there is no need to worry at all, except for Kiryu, there is no second person in this world who has the power of death.
The rotten and black water quickly receded, and even the night spring that was bubbling in front of me instantly became clear.
Instead, it's a shrine maiden with an extremely beautiful appearance and a similar type to the bellflower type.
"Thank you" She looked at Kiryu first-class, and then looked at Hazuki Tomei in the distance, although her tone was calm, she could feel the envy in her heart and said: "There is someone who has forgotten the agreement with me, but ...... The person you are looking for has not forgotten the appointment with you. ”
"Where's your corpse? Maybe I can revive you," Kiryu said.
Resurrection Coins are very unreasonable items.
"I'm going to suppress the Night Spring," the witch paused, tilted her head slightly, and said, "Moreover, it's not the person I'm waiting for to come, I can't live in the world with him, I'd rather stay here forever." ”
In short words, there is determination.
The shrine maiden disappears.
Kiryu first-class also completed the mission and received the reward.
【Part-time job】
[It's because we can't see that it's scary]
【Survive for 90 days】
【Success Reward: Learning Points x2】
【Failure Punishment: Death】
"During this time, the human pillar witch ghost on the mountain captured many people with spiritual power in order to maintain the barrier of Hisakami Mountain," Hazuki Tomei said, "They should be nearby." ”
"I'll look for it"
The whole process was not complicated, he found four people, and they were all still alive.
A pair of middle school girls, an adult woman, and a girl with a figure similar to that of Ye Yuedong.
"Miss Kurosawa!" Hazuki knelt beside the adult woman, slapping her face nervously.
Miss Kurosawa opened her eyes: "Tona-san! You're alive! ”
"That's right!" Ye Yuedong nodded: "So, the person has been found, what about my salary?" ”
Kiryu smiled helplessly: no wonder she was so nervous, it turned out that she was still begging for wages.
