Chapter 24 The Past

Jiang Li was prepared for a long time. After seeing the death of Feng, he realized that there must be a crisis hidden in the main hall. Just as the ghost hands appeared, he pulled out the only piece of talisman paper left on his body and threw it under the god stage. The talisman paper turned into ashes, and the ghost hands disappeared in an instant.

"Mianmian, are you okay?" Yixiao Naihe's calves were trembling. He didn't expect that this girl who had always been very timid before was more brave and decisive than the other men present when she was in real danger.

"It's okay." Jiang Li checked Chang'an's backpack. Unfortunately, he found that the other party's props had expired. Feng's props were one-time consumption items. The puppet substitute could withstand a ghost attack on the holder, and it would lose its effect after use.

"His luck is really bad. He is scattered alone like Mo Yu, and then unfortunately is attacked." Chang'an sighed, holding Feng's body and covering his face with his coat.

"It's useless to sigh. The person has left. Let's hurry up and see if there are any clues here. Otherwise, we will end up the same sooner or later." Yi Xiao Naihe was greatly impacted after seeing the corpse of his companion. He decided not to waste time, but immediately stood up and searched around with Xira.

Jiang Li looked at the corpse on the ground and did not make a sound. He didn't know much about the player Feng, and he was not as good as Chang'an and Yixiao Nai.

But Jiang Li could see that this person was calm and cautious enough in dealing with people. Why did the other party stay in this hall when an attack was encountered? You should know that his props are different from his own. They can only resist attacks, but cannot dispel ghosts. When escaping from danger, shouldn't the first reaction of a normal person be to leave quickly?

Could it be that there is something crucial in this hall that is so important that Feng is willing to risk his life and is determined to find it out? Feng's backpack has nothing else except the water, food and equipment equipped in the system. That means he was killed before he could find the clue.

No, there is another possibility. What if it was the case at that time...

A terrifying thought suddenly emerged from Jiang Li's mind. His face suddenly sank. Looking at the pool of dirty blood on the floor, his mood became more and more serious.

Yixiao Naihe walked to the window. At this moment, he suddenly heard the sound of "click", "click", "click", "click", and "click", and a burst of rapid footsteps outside the window.

There are four survivors and himself now. Now everyone is in the main hall, outside the window... For a moment, he felt creepy, and the blood in his body freezes like freezing. Yi Xiao Naihe subconsciously turned around to ask his companions behind him, but was shocked to find that there was no one else in the room except him.

"What's going on... Did I trigger a new plot?" In a panic, he forced himself to calm down.

That's right, Mianmian and Chang'an had seen similar scenes before, so now it should be his turn! Thinking that the final life might be hidden in the shrine, Ichiko Nai understood that the clues in his hands might play a crucial role. So he endured his fear, slowly bent down, squatted on the edge of the window, poked a small hole in the paper window, and looked outside quietly.

Outside the window, a man wearing a white hunting suit and a black hat was facing his back to him. His figure was also translucent, and the clothes were similar to Onmyoji's appearance in Yixia's eyes, and they were all loose clothing worn by ancient Japanese men.

"Master Sato, why did you order the imprisonment of the witches?" Just as Yi Xiao Nai was thinking, a male voice came from outside the window. For some reason, after hearing this voice, he always felt an indescribable weirdness in his heart.

Sato... Wait, is this person the priest?

Hearing this, Ichiko Naihe suddenly widened his eyes. Soon, he saw another man in a white hunting suit walking hurriedly from the other end of Tando and catching up with the priest Sato. The two walked slowly one after another, and they could only see their backs.

"She is no longer worthy of being called a witch." Surprisingly, Sato's voice didn't sound very old, and seemed to be only in his thirties. In Ichiko Naihe's imagination, he thought the priest should be an old man in his sixties or seventies.

"Why? Always, watching the moon... the witch has done her duty, blessed the safety of the village and brought happiness to everyone. What she did wrong now has made you so much trouble, and even abolished her and chose a girl in the village again! Have you forgotten? It's less than three days away from the God Sacrifice! Why, why did you make this decision at such an important moment!" The person speaking was a young man, and he should be around twenty years old when he heard the voice.

"Takasaka, you are still in the dark." The priest stopped and said slowly: "It's a pity that your infatuation was wrong after all."

It turned out that he was Takasaka! Ichiko Naihe immediately remembered the notes he found in the house before, and what Jiang Li and the others had said.

"I don't understand what you said." Although Takasaka refused to admit it, he was obviously guilty when he spoke.

"Do you think I can't see it. Do you admire Guanyue very much?" Master Sato's tone was very gentle and sounded approachable. But for some reason, Ichiko Naihe always felt that there was a hint of sarcasm hidden in his tone.

"Masaki Hanyu, you haven't seen him for a long time." Sato's words puzzled Takasaka, and he lowered his voice and leaned into the other person's ear and said something softly.

"Impossible! No! Hanyu and Guanyue... how could it be!" Takasaka suddenly became excited after hearing the other party say: "There must be some misunderstandings in this!"

"Misunderstanding? They have already admitted it in person!" The voice of the priest Sato suddenly became extremely gloomy: "Kanyue Maki not only lost her pure body, but also had a secret fetus with Maki Hanyu!"

"No...No...you mean they were planning to elope, but you found out in advance and were detained?!" Takasaka seemed to have suffered a huge blow. He staggered and almost couldn't stand steadily. Even though he didn't see the other party's front, Ichiko could still feel his shock and sadness.

One is a woman he loved for many years, and the other is his friend.

For some reason, he felt that he could understand the other person's mood very much. The man felt that he was betrayed by friendship and love at the same time. The two of them deceived him and even planned to escape from Luoquan Village together and leave everyone here to die! In addition to the pain, he could also feel the despair and anger deep in the other person's heart.

"I have detained both of them in the basement of our temple. If you don't believe it, you can go and ask. You must know that during this year, they have been holding you back and having sex in the backyard of the shrine, and promised each other for life. If I hadn't encountered each other, I'm afraid these two people would have escaped under our noses!"

"Enough!" Takasaka covered his ears in pain, lost his former demeanor, and roared almost collapsed: "It turns out they have been lying to me!"

"Takasaka, I know you are in pain. But there is one thing that needs to be solved right now." Sato's voice suddenly became extremely gentle: "The god festival is coming, and we still need to find a girl to play the role of a witch... At that time, I will find a way to hide it from everyone. After all, once this matter is exposed, you and me and others in the shrine will be blamed. Oko, the youngest daughter of the Tokugawa family, is just over 20 this year, and is the most suitable candidate."

"I understand." Takasaka's voice slowly became cold. He lowered his head and said softly: "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Very good, then I'll leave it all to you. We must be as soon as possible, and don't let others know." Sato patted his shoulder. Takasaka nodded, saying nothing, but just speeded up and walked outside. The priest looked at his leaving figure and nodded with satisfaction. He slowly turned around and looked at the palace behind him.

Although he knew that this was just an illusion, Yixiao could not help but take a breath of air conditioning when the other party turned around.

It’s not that the man looks terrifying, and the priest Sato looks in his early thirties. His face is as white as frost, and there are a few strands of hair on his forehead, which looks quite elegant. What impresses the most is his pair of eyes as smart as foxes, which are faintly revealed at this moment.
