Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Guard
Kiyosuke-san, could it be that you are mistaken?" Shibata smiled reluctantly.
With a wave of his hand, a snow-white sword light slashed across the pool, and the spring water was directly cut out of a one-meter-wide gap, and then the spring water floating in the air froze in the air and solidified into two ice walls.
"This should be where you say the bones are." Kiyosuke walked to the center of the two ice walls, the tip of his knife pointing at a depression in the deepest part.
Shibata walked forward when he heard this, squatted down and carefully examined the traces of the depression, and if he looked closely, he could see that there were still traces of depressions in the pit, but the bones that should have covered the top were gone.
Shibata's face was very ugly, he already believed Kiyosuke's words, I was afraid that this was where the bones were before, but there was one thing that made him a little puzzled, why she left here half a month early.
"The coldness I felt down there just now is probably the trace of her passing."
"Shibata-kun, if she leaves the seal, what will she do first?"
Seisuke put the word back into the scabbard, turned around and walked down the mountain, since the bones were not here, then there was no point in coming to this spring.
Shibata's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, and he unconsciously followed behind Kiyosuke, but his mind was constantly thinking about her thoughts, he hadn't imagined the current situation.
According to Shibata's original plan, Wakkanai's team should have arrived on Rebun Island a week ago and dealt with her before the seal expired.
However, due to a serious accident in another city, the team was unable to spare manpower for the past few days.
But even so, it won't make her break free in advance, and the current situation is completely beyond Shibata's expectations.
After a while, the two of them soon came to the foot of the mountain.
"Well, do you have a clue, Shibata-kun."
"Let's go back to the village first, I didn't expect the seal to expire early, this is completely beyond my expectations." Shibata shook his head with a wry smile, he still didn't have a clue.
According to common sense, the first thing she should do after her resurrection should be revenge, but these villagers in the village now have nothing to do with the people who harmed her in the first place, and the current villagers are not even descendants.
But if she doesn't get revenge, where can she go after she is resurrected?
Kiyosuke frowned, he was more concerned about why she had passed by the two of them just now, but she had turned a blind eye to them.
When the two returned to the village, they didn't notice anything strange, no one died and no one was injured.
Kiyosuke even felt as if the dark clouds that had been hanging over the village were gradually dissipating, and everything seemed to indicate that she might have left the village, or even the island.
"No way, it shouldn't be like this." Shibata had been muttering to himself, according to his analysis, the medium of her existence was resentment, how could nothing have happened.
Kiyosuke glanced at Shibata, who was lost in thought, and silently walked back to the hot spring inn, if nothing happened tonight, then he was ready to leave the island, and he couldn't waste his time here.
After more than ten minutes, Kiyosuke walked along the main road of the village to the door of the hostel.
"The owner of this hostel seems to have never been there in the past two days."
After entering the lobby on the first floor, Kiyosuke found the empty front desk, and it seemed that he had never seen the innkeeper again, except when he had opened the room.
When he first arrived on the island, Kiyosuke realized that the innkeeper was hiding something from him, but when he went out to investigate and came back, he never saw anyone at the front desk again.
Kiyosuke narrowed his eyes and strode towards the room upstairs, if he couldn't find any traces of the resentful spirit, he wasn't going to meddle with it.
Time passed slowly, and the sun soon set above the sea horizon, and most of the houses seemed to be in shadow as the village was shaded by Mt. Rebun.
On the other side of the street, Shibata, who had been wandering all afternoon, suddenly stopped.
"I know, it's definitely not her who came out!" Shibata's eyes flashed with a twinkle.
After thinking about it for an afternoon, Shibata still couldn't figure out why the formation would fail early, and it should last for half a month anyway.
Even if she really broke free from the seal, it would not have been possible for the bones to disappear so quickly.
The reason why Shibata knows so much about this sealing barrier is actually because this barrier was set by his ancestors.
Among the dozens of people who survived from the island that year, many of them volunteered to become the house slaves of the Onmyoji, and his ancestors were even more fortunate to become the concubines of the Onmyoji.
For hundreds of years, one from each generation of the family would come to the island to guard the island, but also to dismantle her power.
As a B-class special wraith, her power is almost tied to this small island, and the family opens a special channel for the enchantment every ten years to extract her great power and resentment.
In the past two hundred years, Shibata's family has declined, and it has been a long time since there has been a title-level powerhouse.
It can be said that it was entirely by relying on the power obtained by this formation that many D-level and C-level cultivators were born, so that the family was not swallowed up.
So after sensing the statute of limitations of the formation this time, Shibata could only turn to the team to solve it, because they no longer had the ability to repair the enchantment left by their ancestors.
So this is the reason why Shibata has always been confident, you must know that the ancestor who set up the enchantment at the beginning, the strength has been infinitely close to inhuman, although they will not repair it, but they have always provided strength for the formation over the years, there is no reason for it to collapse suddenly.
But in the hot spring, there were indeed traces of the disappearance of bones, which gave Shibata a headache all afternoon, until just now, he suddenly remembered that there was not only one woman who died on this mountain.
"The skeleton that disappeared in the pool is probably the female tourist who disappeared some time ago, and the real one should still be sealed!"
A glint flashed in Shibata's eyes, if that was the case, it would make sense, thinking of this, Shibata immediately set off towards the hostel where he was.
At this time, the sun gradually set below the coastline, and the last rays of sunlight completely disappeared into the village.
The village, which had fallen into the night, seemed to have returned to the oppressive atmosphere of last night, and even if there were many street lights in the village, they could not illuminate all the dark corners.
"Kiyosuke-san, I know why!" Shibata stood on the side of the road and shouted loudly towards the inn.
Although he knew the location of the hostel where Kiyosuke was, Shibata did not rush into the hostel, and it would not be good if Kiyosuke was suspicious of him.
Although Kiyosuke did not respond to Shibata's words, after a few breaths, he still opened the window on the side of the street.
