Chapter 11: The Witch of Anxin Temple

After repelling the enemy, Zhang Su drove back to Anxin Courtyard overnight without alarming others.

Sending Katy back to her lair, Zhang Su looked up at the moonlight and came to the shrine in the corner of Anxinyuan.

The inside of the shrine is empty, with only one tribute stand in the center.

Zhang Su took the director's nameplate off his chest and verified it against the hidden scanner under the tribute table.

The floor rotates, from which a downward spiral staircase appears.

There was a clattering and loud movement.

Below this staircase, is what the Anxin Witch Shelter is really watching.

Zhang Su held his breath and prepared to enter.

"Eh......" a female voice sounded.

He quickly turned his head.

Lotus Mist?!

"Miss Lianwu, why are you here?" Zhang Su was surprised.

"Outside, gunshots. Can't sleep. Lian Wu tilted her head.

"I've driven out some of the little people who have come here. Is Miss Lianwu okay? Did those children scare you before? Zhang Su asked.

“…… "......Lian Wu didn't care about what happened before, just the secret passage of the underground palace opened by Zhang Su.

"Want to go in and see it? Miss Lianwu, I have to warn that there is nothing to see in it, and I am just making sure that it is safe. Zhang Su admonished.

Lianwu nodded.

"Isn't it, yes, monster?" Lian Wu said intermittently.

"It's not a monster either. Did you hear any rumors? Zhang Su shook his head.

"I think, look." There was a rare hint of resoluteness in Lian Mist's words.

“…… Then, please follow me. Zhang Su held the Guanshi Futu tightly, and then led the way in front.

Next, it's the true ultimate secret of the Anxin Witch Shelter.

This is the root cause of terror and chaos.

Zhang Su walked to the deepest part of the shelter.

The air was filled with the smell of heavy, stale rock, and the sound of his footsteps echoed between the hollow staircases, like scattered raindrops falling into a bottomless pit. Lian Wu followed behind Zhang Su, silently.

The staircase led to an ancient bronze corridor, and the moonlight vanished behind them, as if they had passed through the monster's esophagus and into a hollow gut.

He walked silently, counted a hundred steps, then pushed the door open and entered the chamber.

Inside the chamber is a huge cavern.

Massive ancient stone pillars supported the gloomy vaulted ceiling, and the surrounding walls shimmered with nothingness, and hundreds of yellow seals lined up on top, as if to stop something from falling.

Zhang Su held his breath and stared at the strange and abominable thing in front of him.

It was a huge witch.

She knelt on the ground, her slender pale limbs bound by chains, and hung backwards, as if in some kind of transformation, a pair of curved horns cocked from the top of her head, and her silver hair was scattered, completely obscuring her face, and she was in a deep sleep.

Countless skeletons dressed in rich costumes lined up around the giant witch, as if they had been buried here on a voluntary basis, piled up.

Zhang Su stared at it.

[Memory "Anxinin Tsukika": Also known as "Tsukikahime", the ancestor of the Anxinin family, a major threat to humanity, once illuminated by the moonlight, it will burst out with all its powers.] The prophecy says that she will cause an unprecedented natural disaster that will bring humanity into the Lunar Age.

The moon passes through the witch, breaking position 9.

Erosion: 10000%]

A witch who has already broken the rank 9 times, if she succeeds in breaking the position for the 10th time, she will enter the realm of "gods". However, this kind of thing has not happened in history.

The Anxin Witch Shelter was established to seal and imprison the ancestor Yuehuaji to prevent her from becoming a "moon god".

Tsukikahime is very powerful and rules one side, but she is violent and unreasonable, and both humans and witches suffer from it. She also devours the longevity of her offspring to prolong her own life.

The members of the Anxin family were terrified, and in order to protect themselves, they conspired to unite with overseas witches, and when Yuehuaji broke the throne for the 10th time, they defeated her, but they couldn't kill her, so they had to be strictly sealed and guarded.

History has become a story, a story has become a myth, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood. Only Yuehua Ji, who was sleeping in front of her, seemed to be able to verify some facts.

At this time, Yuehua Ji's unimaginably wide chest was slowly rising and falling with her breathing, and the dark purple blood flowed under her skin, which was clearly discerning.

Zhang Su felt that the Guanshi Futu in his hand was wilted.

After all, Yuehua Ji is too huge, a super giant witch, three or four stories high. If it weren't for the size being too mismatched, Zhang Su would also like to try.

I don't want to say it too rudely, but he needs to prepare the excavator.

Zhang Su observed those new forbidden demon chains, many of which penetrated deep into Yuehuaji's head, and even her mental activities were curbed and she remained asleep.

The containment procedures were personally arranged by the Witch Countermeasures Bureau, and they did everything they could, except that they couldn't transport Yuehuaji away.

Zhang Su must guard this place and supervise Yuehuaji's condition to avoid a containment breach.

Lian Wu silently looked at Yuehua Ji in front of her.

That's her ancestors, trapped here for an unknown number of years.

"Yes...... Really......" Lianwu whispered.

"It's time for us to go." Zhang Su said.

Lian Wu looked at Yuehua Ji carefully, as if she wanted to remember her appearance. Then, presumably, she was genuinely scared and turned to walk.

Zhang Su and Lian Wu walked back along the passage.

At this moment, they heard extremely strange sounds.

In the cave behind her, one of Yuehuaji's hands twitched strangely! Fingertips rubbed against the floor, chains were tugged at and there was a buzzing sound, and the entire cavern shook slightly.

Zhang Su hurriedly took the lotus mist away.

They walked through the corridor together, towards the ground, and just a few steps away, Zhang Su suddenly felt Lian Wu's soft hand clench his hand.

He looked down.

Lotus Mist's frosty little hand held him, as if he was afraid of being left behind.

This is the first time Zhang Su has encountered Lotus Mist in two lifetimes.

It felt special.

He quickly left the underground palace tunnel with Lian Mist, followed the stairs back to the shrine, and closed the roundabout stairs.

Standing in the hall, Lian Wu had palpitations.

"She ......" Lian Wu hesitated.

"Don't worry, this time is different from the past, the Witch Countermeasures Bureau's control of the witch is more professional, and those chains have been strengthened by the people of the Countermeasures Bureau, and it is impossible for Yuehuaji to break free from the seal." Zhang Su was relieved.

Only then did Lian Wu let go of Zhang Su's hand.

"I'm Lianwu, timid, don't mind." She said.

Only then did Zhang Su understand why Lianwu had only come to Anxin Courtyard once in his previous life, and he stayed for a while.

She heard that the ancestor Yuehuaji was a monster and was sealed underground, so she made a special trip to the Anxin Courtyard in the name of "funding" to take a look, but in the end she didn't dare to enter the underground palace and left quickly.

But this time is different.

was first borrowed by Zhang Su, and then "kidnapped" by Saho, so he accidentally stayed in Anxin Courtyard until the night, and finally really met the ancestor Yuehuaji.

She was closer to the truth than she had been.

"Now, can we talk? Miss Lianwu? Zhang Su patiently communicated with Lianwu.

She nodded.

"Anxinin is such a place. There are dangerous witches like Yuehua Ji underground, and there are more witches on the ground, as well as those uneasy children, and I'm just operating miserably here. Do you want to leave tomorrow morning? Zhang Su looked at Lian Wu.

"I'm scared, I want to leave, but I feel like it's important and I'm responsible." Lian Wu said intermittently.

"Responsibility?" Zhang Su was puzzled.

"Mom, grandmother, and the previous ones all spent the rest of their lives in Anxin Hospital. It has to be, shrine maiden. This is the agreement of the ancestors. Lian Wu lowered her head.

"But you don't have to ......," Zhang Su thought of the countless burial bones beside Yue Huaji.

It turned out that it was the relatives of Lianwu, the witches of the Anxin Temple in the past dynasties, according to the ancient agreement, responsible for guarding the moon Huaji, and was left in the underground palace after death, not seeing the sun and the moon.

"I, according to the agreement, should be a shrine maiden, and I should probably be here too, guarding my ancestors, until my bones and my ancestors' are integrated and buried next to my ancestors. My family didn't tell me, but now I see it. Lian Wu said slowly.

That's how it is...... Zhang Su suddenly realized that everything made sense.

Lianwu's family has been in business for generations, and it has developed into a wealthy family today. Her father, Anxin Shuyuki, is an investor and advocates selling Anxin to the "Human Defense Project", which is actually throwing this hot potato to others, so that Lianwu does not have to bear the so-called "witch responsibility".

For twenty years, there was no witch to watch Yuehuahime, and the agreement was put on hold, and Lianwu came for the first time in this life.

"Then again, you don't have to be a shrine maiden." Zhang Su said bluntly, "Since your family has handed over the Anxin Courtyard to the Witch Countermeasures Bureau, then it is enough for me to have here, and we are the professionals." ”

"However, I saw with my own eyes today, the ancestors, right there, the agreement is true, and I don't want to run away from it. And I prefer a quiet, quiet place like this to the outside world. Lianwu said very seriously.

Then, Lian Wu began to get nervous again, probably because she talked too much.

She closed her eyes and patted her cheeks with both hands, once, twice, three, four.

It's like recharging your batteries to regain the courage to speak.

Zhang Su pondered.

In the previous life, Lianwu left after a circle in the Anxin Courtyard, and stayed for less than two hours, although he finally disappeared in the sea of people, and he didn't know where to go, but maybe it was a good death.

Now that she saw the truth of the Anxin Courtyard, she actually came up with the idea of staying here to guard Yuehua Ji! That is, to stay in the Anxin Hospital for the rest of your life.

I can't tell which ending is better.

Zhang Su even saw that the memory line on Lianwu's body was also broken and bifurcated, as if he was gradually moving towards another life, and the previous memory of Lianwu no longer counted.

"It's a lifelong responsibility. I hope Miss Lianwu will seriously consider it. Zhang Su couldn't help but say.

After slapping her face, Lian Wu seemed to briefly regain her ability to speak.

"A lifelong responsibility?" She asked.

"Yes, for life." Zhang Su said.

Lian Wu stretched out his hand to the moonlight shining through the window, and the magic of the moon emerged from the palm of his hand.

The brilliance flows, as if the night dances in her hands, so beautiful.

Lian Wu looked at Zhang Su.

"Then would you like to spend your life with me?"

Her fair and gentle face smiled at Zhang Suyan.

In the cool moonlight, Zhang Su realized that he would live a completely different life from his previous life.

"Okay." Zhang Su said.

……

Come to the open space outside the shrine.

"You're working outside, is it okay? Will the family be worried? Zhang Su asked.

Lianwu shook her head.

"Then, in the name of the director of the Anxin Witch Shelter, I officially hired you as the acting witch of the institute for a probationary period of 3 months, and I hope you will behave well." Zhang Su said.

To be reasonable, although Miss Lianwu is great, Zhang Su is an understanding person, and he has to think about Lianwu's safety and the rest of his life.

Zhang Su crossed over, and regarded Anxin Courtyard as his home, of course it was no problem for him to stay at home for a lifetime, but Miss Lianwu was not necessarily, he was not sure if Lianwu wanted to stay here on a whim, or if he was really determined to stay for the rest of his life.

So, a probationary period was set.

Trimester.

Let Lianwu experience life in Anxinyuan, if you are uncomfortable, or tired of life in this place, then you can go home at any time.

"Hmm~mm!" Lianwu nodded.

Zhang Su counted 200,000 yen bills and handed them to Lianwu.

"This is your first month's salary." Zhang Su said.

Lian Wu counted the money and smiled.

You can also make money as a proxy shrine maiden. Lian Wu thought happily. It was the first time in her life that she had gone to work.

She flicked her fingers at the bill and counted.

If she earns 200,000 yen a month, she can buy other properties in her family as long as she works for 1.64 million years, and everyone else will be impressed by her.

So, how can you go to class for so many years? Lian Wu thought.

"Let's go, I'll help you carry your luggage." Zhang Su stretched out his hand, "Go to my building to rest, I don't know if the ancestors will have a spiritual impact on you, or the farther away the better." ”

"Lie to me?" Lian Wu tilted his head.

"Don't worry, I'm a decent person, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to pick up this weapon." Zhang Su pointed to the Guanshi Futu on his back, "The former director is a bad person, and he can't pick it up." ”

"Good ......," Lianwu agreed.

After helping Lianwu move the bedding and luggage to Zhang Su's building, he was ready to go out again.

"Where are you going?" Lianwu stood by the door, holding the handle, as if she didn't want to spend the night alone.

"Actually, I just fought with the people of the Fujikawa group, and their purpose was to rescue Fujikawa Chiyo, and now it's time to meet this team leader." Zhang Su said.

"Good night." Lian Wu waved his hand seriously, "Tomorrow." ”

"Good night." Zhang Su said goodbye, "See you tomorrow, Miss Lianwu." ”

Lian Wu gently closed the door, and Zhang Su left.

Now, Miss Lianwu has also become a member of the Anxin Academy, and Zhang Su feels extremely special.

This is truly unprecedented! Everything about Miss Lianwu is Zhang Su's knowledge blind spot. He knows many things in his heart, but Lianwu can only cultivate relationships from scratch.

In any case, she is a veritable daughter, and she still has to work hard to manage it and build the Anxin Hospital to match her needs.

Now, I have to go to Chiyo Fujikawa.

Zhang Su came to the East Prison Area and saw a woman in a single cell at the entrance of the first floor.

That's the reason for the Fujikawa group's door-to-door battle, the leader of the Fujikawa group!

Her information was recorded on an electronic information sign at the door.

[Name: Chiyo Fujikawa]

[Crimes: homicide, robbery; Organize, direct, and participate in group meetings]

[Sentence remaining: 1 month]

[Physical Condition: Health/Mana Ban]

[Mana: Thunderbolt Path Mature Body Witch]

Chiyo Fujikawa has long slender black hair, a few strands of hair covering the right cheek, and a small teardrop tattoo on the left cheekbone.

She sat cross-legged, with a huge black dragon tattoo from belly to back, and the tips of the dragon's two claws happened to be two points on the front, and the tattoo was just right.

Zhang Su knocked on the transparent bulletproof glass.

Chiyo Fujikawa woke up from meditation and glanced at Zhang Su.

"Sorry to bother me so late, it's the first time we met, I'm the new director, Zhang Su." Zhang Su picked up the communicator.

"I'm the 9th generation leader of the Fujikawa group, Chiyo Fujikawa." She said coldly.

"I want to talk to you about the Fujikawa group." Zhang Su said.

"Oh? What's wrong with them? Chiyo Fujikawa said lightly.

"Fujikawa-gumi, a hall master named Keiji Kuroda came to attack us, I think you should know."

Zhang Su looked into her eyes.

"Then we really should talk," Chiyo Fujikawa walked towards the bulletproof glass curtain wall, "The Fujikawa group has never had a hall master with the surname Kuroda. ”
