48. Tune the tiger away from the mountain
"She's really in there."
The moon relays everything he sees inside the shrine to the standby Riki through the intercom.
"That little witch didn't lie to us, did you?"
"No, I can feel the magic and aura in the shrine, the same strange talk that tried to lure you to the shrine that day. Because of her reincarnation, she was destined to be trapped in that rectangular box, and she had to be rescued before the ceremony. ”
"What should I do now?"
Ruiji was already eager to try it.
During the standby period, she felt the tension multiplied by 11.4 and some excitement, constantly stuffing food and water into her mouth to calm her restless emotions.
A little more understandable people who like to eat in dangerous places, the right food can decompress the body, increase mobility, and produce a burst of dopamine, a substance that is often mentioned.
She needed dopamine so much.
"I'll send you a signal to move when it's getting dark, and you'll come right over. Now I'm going to parse the barriers around the dance hall, and you can rest in place for a while. ”
The sound of the moon is very fast, and it may have been a trott, hiding from tourists or shrine witches at the shrine.
After confirming the safety of his teammates, Ruiji does not need to be nervous for the time being.
"Understood, I wish Wuyun prosperity."
Communication was cut off, and Ricky continued to dispose of the unfinished half of the rice ball in his hand, glancing at his watch under the cuff from time to time. The watch was lent to her by Mrs. Yoshino, and there is also one in the month.
It is said to be borrowed, but in fact it is no different from giving it.
The classic brand Oriental Double Lion produced in the Showa era, the logo is two lions. The silver dial and metal chain, and the brass-colored hands look quite old.
Their phones don't work properly in the regional weird story, and only the items in the weird tale work normally. It's important to grasp the right time, and if you miss 8 o'clock in the evening, the rest of your life will be headed towards unforeseen despair, and you will be weird, and Ruzuki Station and Asahina will become a whole.
That must not happen.
Rydge taps her fingertips against the glass cover, staring at the second hand as it moves step by step. The orange-red sunset color fades away, and is invaded and penetrated by a deeper and heavier dark blue.
The night in the mountains came early, perhaps because of the sunny weather today, and the sky was a little brighter than usual. When I first left Ruzuki Station, the whole sky was so dark that it looked like it was about to collapse.
The aroma of food wafted from the festival stalls from the mountain road, and cylindrical objects of various colors rose from the ground. The witch wrote their wishes on the light-colored paper of the sky lantern, ignited the solid fuel attached to the wire frame below, waited until the body of the lamp was expanded by the heat from the combustion, and then released her hand to let it rise into the air.
Thousands of townspeople in Asahina, as well as tourists who come to visit, release thousands of sky lanterns, and the entire sky is illuminated by pale golden firelight, and it is as bright as day.
The sky lanterns float left and right in the gentle evening breeze, like rippling water waves.
The river that flows around the town of Asahina is reflected in the image of thousands of sky lanterns rising into the sky, and Ruiji's gray-blue eyes are dyed with a warm gold layer of floating lights, and his heart is shocked by the grand festival scene.
If those heart-wrenching tragedies hadn't happened, there would have been no goddess sacrifices here, and Asahina Town would have been able to build a high-quality witch resort in the future with a little development based on its geographical advantages and the surrounding natural and cultural scenery.
The blue canopy deepened the sentimental mood, and she fell into a whirlpool of negative emotions, briefly entering a state of wandering thoughts, her brain empty, and her eyes out of focus.
A few minutes later, the radio in my hand came with a current tone and a communication alert.
"I almost forgot ......"
Press the answer button, and on the opposite side is the slightly dissatisfied voice of the moon.
"You'd be staring at the sky lantern in a daze, and I can't imagine how long you'd stay stuck without the radio."
"I'm sorry, but...... Don't you think the picture of thousands of sky lanterns flying into the sky is super beautiful? ”
"If you want to see it, why don't you see it in the original world? Osaka's Tenjin Festival, Tokyo's Kanda Festival, and Kyoto's Gion Festival are all close at hand, so there's no need to worry about a weird festival. Now I'll go to the back side of Asahina Shrine right now, and I'll be waiting for you at the dance hall. The detailed location has been specially marked, and if you use the [Omniscient Eye] magic, you will be able to see the traces I left with my magic. ”
"Yes!"
Reki replied in the tone of a Sengoku samurai, and then cleaned up the packaging of the food with destruction magic, leaving no trace of himself. Flying with a broomstick is still too conspicuous, especially when all eyes are on the sky.
At this time, you have to use the special magic of the biological realm - chameleon magic.
The witch who uses chameleon magic, her own color will change in real time according to the color of the environment, which is an effect close to that of the auspicious suit, which is more convenient than the auspicious suit, and is processed with a fake and real effect, which is commonly used during the witch war.
In the most classic large-scale witch battle in Japanese history, the Oda Witch Army's team used chameleon magic to hide their breath and traces to launch a surprise attack on a rainy day to pursue the army of the daimyo witch Imagawa Yoshimoto, and finally won the victory.
The figure of the Oda Witch Army is well hidden in the rain, like a ghost. The sound of the rain drowned out the footsteps of the witches, who were in an overwhelming position, taking their enemies by surprise.
In the past, Ruiji put a little effort into studying, and she could use it with a little recollection, and even saved the time for studying now.
The lights in the sky, the fireworks, and the silver bell grass that covered the mountain provided the light source, and the mountain of sorrow was not so dark to climb, and ten minutes later, Riki appeared at the edge of the shrine.
Using the [Omniscient Eye], you can see things that you can't see with normal vision, such as magical enchantments set outside the area, and marks left by magic.
The marker potion used earlier can also be used with the omniscient eye magic.
Before the moon reminder, she had no memory of the magic.
The magic barrier is a transparent pale green with low intensity, and a small area of one is colorless and has been resolved and broken by the moon, creating a gap that is easy to pass through.
If you don't open the Eye of Omniscience, it is likely that when you are about to step into the shrine, you will suddenly hit the air wall and fall into the valley, and it will take dozens of minutes to climb up quietly.
Ruiji's infiltration went well, and Yue bought a white fox mask for her in advance. In disguise, they pretend to be witch lovers visiting the shrine together, holding each other's arms to hide their eyes and ears, avoiding some witches passing by with lanterns.
Because they were wearing masks, they couldn't see the expressions on each other's faces, so there was no embarrassment.
The shrine hall is surrounded by a field of red maples, and from a distance, it looks like a small palace burned by flames. The painted coffin with Chiyo Naling is parked in the side hall, and the main hall is an area for tourists to visit, and there are only a few witches at this time.
There is a witch in the corridor leading to the side hall, who looks very spiritual.
"Go, seduce her, distract her."
Moon took off Ruiji's mask and pushed her forward.
