Chapter 422: Katayo Shrine
The Unknown Forest is a forest located halfway up Mt. Rishang. Although the road was repaired when the tourist resort was first built, the terrain here was completely changed due to a collapse incident.
Today, the roads in the Unknown Forest are complicated and full of swamps. If you are not careful, you will be trapped in them and in danger. That is why this place is surrounded by barbed wire.
However, ever since word spread that Rishang Mountain was a famous suicide site, people have been constantly destroying the barbed wire and entering it.
These people, whether they committed suicide or were seeking death, have never been able to successfully get out alive since entering here. They all became sacrifices to ease the collapse of the Kurosawa seal.
However, if someone goes up the mountain knowing there are problems here and dies here, he naturally cannot blame anyone else.
Even the Buddha once said, I will not save Ha Pi.
Although the Unknown Forest was as complicated as a maze, with the help of Fang Xili's shadow-seeing ability, the three of them successfully arrived at the center of the forest.
Of course, it is also because the vengeful spirit did not appear. If an ordinary person came here, he would have been tortured and killed by the vengeful spirit long ago.
In the middle of the forest there is a shrine called Kyoshiro, where countless dolls are enshrined. Each doll contains the soul of a child who has been haunted.
These souls would come out to play from time to time, but perhaps because they sensed Xiu's half-demon aura, the various dolls enshrined around the shrine did not show any abnormalities.
After arriving near the shrine, Furuya used her shadow-seeing ability again and discovered that Himino Toyo, who had gone up the mountain earlier, had been here and entered the shrine.
However, for some reason, when she went to open the door, the shrine door was tightly closed, as if it had not been opened for a long time.
Seeing that she couldn't enter, Fang Xili was about to return to the forest, but Xia Yu, who had been watching, suddenly stopped and said.
"Ms. Xili, I will stay at the shrine and continue looking for clues. I will let Xiu accompany you to find Miss Himino."
"Mr. Xia, are you going to leave the team?" Fang Xili looked at Xia Yu in surprise. Based on her experience with horror movies, the person who leaves the team first is usually the first to die.
Is Mr. Xia so brave?
Although Fang Xili was just asking out of concern and didn't say what she was thinking, Xia Yu still saw the meaning from her eyes.
After all, that blatant look at a fool, even a fool can see it... Bah, even a smart person can see it.
Faced with this rude look, Xia Yu couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart. If they were really in a horror movie and he left the team, the ghosts would be the ones in danger.
But this doesn't need to be explained. As for avoiding Fang Xili's rude gaze... forget it, this little girl is just worried about him, and he is not a petty person.
Bang!
"it hurts!"
Suddenly, she was hit on the head with a slap. Fang Xili couldn't help but cover her head and gasp, then looked at Xia Yu with resentful eyes.
Facing this gaze, Xia Yu turned a deaf ear, turned his head and looked at Xiu and said, "A Xiu, you should follow Miss Xili for the time being. You don't have to do anything special, just scare those evil spirits away."
Although all the vengeful spirits on Rishang Mountain are murderous demons, the vengeful spirit of the miko among them is only fulfilling her duty to seal Kurosawa.
Compared to murderous evil spirits who only vent their resentment, they still have some memory and rationality. It is unfair to kill them directly. When the time comes, they can wash away their resentment and send them to the other side.
Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xiu nodded, then pulled up Fang Xili, who was still rubbing her head, and walked towards the forest.
Fang Xili, who was being pulled away, wanted to say something, but she had already been pulled away by Xiu.
Seeing the two people leave, Xia Yu secretly used the sound transmission method to give Xiu a few instructions, and then walked towards the Kageshiro Shrine again.
Seeing Xia Yu walking towards the shrine again, the dolls that housed the souls of the Kamikaze children began to tremble as if they were shaking in fear.
Xia Yu: “…”
Is he that scary? He is clearly a sunny and handsome big brother.
"Shake it again and see? If you continue shaking, I will burn you all to death!"
Under Xia Yu's gentle exhortation, the puppets that were still trembling immediately stopped moving.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction. It seems that his charm is indeed not low. He can make the children quiet with just one sentence.
If I were to become a teacher, I would definitely be an excellent class teacher.
He had no intention of letting these souls go to where they should go until the problem of the Yellow Spring Gate at Rishang Mountain was resolved.
After solving the main problem, he will open the passage to the other side and let these lost souls leave together.
As the puppets quieted down, Xia Yu opened the closed paper door and walked into the Katashiro Shrine.
Looking inside, there are more dolls inside the shrine than outside. Those dolls are placed randomly around and are all wearing kimonos.
It’s just that the kimono on the doll is not worn very neatly, and the collar on the chest is wide open. You don’t even need to pay too much attention to see the exposed northern hemisphere.
Although they are all dolls, Xia Yu still wants to say that this is too obscene.
I don’t know who made these dolls, but they are really worthy of praise... Well, criticism is simply immoral and offensive.
Xia Yu continued to look at these beautiful dolls with a critical eye. If he hadn't been worried that there were hidden souls inside the dolls, he would have wanted to collect a few of them.
Well, it’s decided. After sending all the souls away, these dolls will be his reward.
It would be a waste to keep it here anyway, so I might as well let him keep it.
Just as Xia Yu was admiring the dolls and moving towards the interior of the shrine, he suddenly saw the target of his trip, the special existence hidden among the dolls.
It was a little girl with a pale body, short white hair that reached her shoulders, and she was wearing a black kimono with golden red spider lilies printed on it, making her look petite and cute.
Xia Yu found his target and immediately walked over and squatted down beside the little girl.
The little girl was not breathing and was completely integrated into the surrounding dolls. If Xia Yu had not been able to sense the unusualness of the little girl, he would have subconsciously thought that the little girl was a doll.
"Mosi Mosi, are you still alive?" Xia Yu poked the little girl's arm and asked in a low voice.
The little girl didn't respond. Seeing this, Xia Yu poked her again: "Even if you are not alive, tell me something. That way I will know if you are dead or not."
“…”
As if she felt that what Xia Yu said made sense, the little girl suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Don't talk to me, because I am dead now."
Seeing that the little girl finally paid attention to him, Xia Yu smiled and said, "But you are already dead, so how can you talk?"
“…”
The little girl suddenly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of beautiful red eyes, coupled with white hair, she was another loli with white hair and red pupils.
After opening her eyes, the little girl sat up straight and looked at Xia Yu.
"Hmph, disgusting!"
After staring at Xia Yu for a second, the little girl turned around and said, "Well, come and play, this is yours...eh?"
"Why isn't there a human form of you?"
