"Father? Father? Say something, Father?"
Stunned for a moment by this shocking scene, Father Shimura seized upon Soga Ai's moment of hesitation, intending to launch a sudden attack, but Soga...
Love was even more decisive, slashing the priest's neck without hesitation, cutting his carotid artery. Blood gushed out, and before he could even move, he had already lost all strength and collapsed helplessly to the ground.
She flipped over, kicked the chair away, smashed the window, and leaped out. Since she was not human, there was no need to maintain any bottom line.
Before the monster in the uniform could react, Su Waai's chopsticks had already shot out like steel needles, piercing directly into his brain through his empty eye sockets.
Just in case, Su Woai kicked out with her foot. With the support of spiritual power, her seemingly slender body unleashed a power far beyond that of ordinary people. The monster's chest was dented by the kick, and its sternum and spine were completely broken.
Staying vigilant, Su Ai observed for a while, and only after confirming that the monster was no longer moving and seemed to be dead did she turn around and enter the chapel again.
The priest's body still lay in a pool of blood. Mana hugged the big dog, trembling. She seemed to have realized that the lost traveler she had kindly brought was not a good person.
Suo Ai had no interest in paying attention to a blind girl. While maintaining a degree of vigilance, she searched the priest's body and pondered what had just happened.
The priest... or rather, this village is not quite normal. Are all the residents like the monster that knocked on the window just now? But the priest and the fish are clearly normal, though the priest also has a mentally unstable state.
Is the problem with the food? Su Ai glanced at the food scattered on the ground. It looked fine, but she could always smell something strange.
Suppose that the village's water source is problematic, polluted by something, or perhaps by the god the priest speaks of, and that the villagers' bodies and minds have been polluted by prolonged consumption of it; this inference is largely plausible.
Nothing of value was found on the priest except for a totem wooden frame he carried with him, which was exactly the same as any other wooden frame in the village and nothing special.
"Miss Aiko... what did you do to the priest?"
Hearing the rustling sounds, Zhenyu suppressed her fear and asked Su Ai, "She could have shouted for help, but she wisely chose not to."
Su Ai glanced down at the priest's body, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Don't worry, he's fine. I just wanted to know some things."
"Then, Miss Aiko, what do you want to know? If I tell you, will you not hurt us?"
"It's real fish," Zhenyu said cautiously.
"Of course, so you know all this? About some of the traditions, customs, and beliefs in your village, and what kind of gods they talk about?"
"this......"
A barrage of questions left Zhenyu speechless. It made sense; how could a blind girl understand so much? She probably didn't even know about the strange changes happening to the villagers.
Sue gave up on finding clues from her and decided to go to the back of the chapel and search the priest's room to see if there was any information.
"It's raining!"
Zhenyu suddenly spoke up excitedly, attracting Su Waai's attention.
The sound of rain came from outside the window, not loud. Out of curiosity, Su Woai walked to the window and discovered that the rain falling from the sky was red, just like the red waves that had swept her up here.
Blood rained down from the sky, splashing across the silent, dark village. Out of caution, Suo Ai did not touch the rain, but turned around and questioned Zhen Yu.
"What does rain signify? Why are you so agitated?"
Zhenyu clasped his hands together and knelt on the ground, as if in prayer.
“Rain represents God’s awakening. He will withdraw His blessings and then send them down again, and everything will repeat itself.”
Before Su Woai could understand the meaning of those words, a short, sharp sound, like an alarm, rang out over the village, its piercing shriek stabbing at the eardrums.
Su Woai turned around, just as she was about to look for the source of the sound outside the window, she saw the monster that had just disappeared stand up again and raise its hand towards her.
The dark muzzle of the gun was pointed directly at him, and he pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Oh!"
When you use a high-powered character card to run the puzzle exploration team and choose to kick the door directly.
Chapter 156 I Have a Big Plan
"Love? Love? Wake up, it's almost noon, aren't you going to get up and eat?"
The shrine maiden pinched the little shrine maiden's cheek, waking her from her sleep.
Slightly opening her eyes, Su Woai felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if she hadn't slept enough.
"Lord Jingu? What time is it?"
Shaking her head to force herself to stay awake, the little witch rubbed her head and sat up.
She felt like she had forgotten something, and that she had a very strange and long dream last night, which was still incredibly vivid when she woke up just now.
But when he woke up, he couldn't say what was in his dream, and he couldn't even remember what kind of dream it was. He only remembered that he seemed to be saying something to the shrine.
"It's already midday, and you seem really listless today."
Jingu gently rubbed the girl's face. In the past, the little shrine maiden was always one of the earliest risers at the shrine, and her life was very regular except for things under the bed.
It's rare for someone to sleep until noon like today and still not get up. Could it be that the alcohol was too strong? Or did the beach vacation relax the tension?
"Ah."
The little witch was a bit dazed, with a strange feeling that she couldn't quite put her finger on. This inexplicable sense of unease made her somewhat out of sorts.
"Aren't you hungry? Let's go eat."
In that case, Su Woai did feel a bit hungry, so she got out of bed and got dressed. But even while eating, she seemed absent-minded, and it was obvious to anyone that something was wrong with her.
"Hey, did you do something to Xiao Ai last night? She seems really strange."
Kuga Mitsu strongly suspected that the shrine maiden had gone to torment her in the middle of the night.
"You're overthinking it. I drank all night last night, okay?"
"What's wrong with Xiao Ai? As her deity, don't you know what's going on with her?"
Jingu looked at me with a blank expression.
"I'm not the kind of control freak who monitors every aspect of his shrine maiden life, inside and out, okay?"
Hisahiro scoffed, seemingly dissatisfied with the answer.
"But I think Xiao Ai doesn't mind, and is even very willing to do it. You should know her thoughts better than I do now, right?"
Kuga Mitsu's words are not entirely without merit. Most people in this world hope to have privacy, secrets, and things that others do not know.
But some people are different. They open up everything about themselves, wanting the other person to understand, wanting the other person to comprehend, wanting to share everything about themselves with another person without any reservations.
Su Woai is that kind of person. She wants to give her all. The more the temple controls and monitors her, the happier she will be. She likes the feeling of being valued by the person she loves and being watched over every minute and every second.
This is also what makes Suga Ai different from Ringo Konoe. One is driven by a fanatical faith due to the power of the means, to the point of sacrificing herself, while the other chooses faith because of love.
"Well, we'll talk about it another time."
Jingu stopped talking about this with Kuga, glanced at the little shrine maiden, and stopped worrying about her; nothing would happen.
Speaking of which, today...
What should we do at noon?
This vacation, besides bringing us closer together, didn't involve trying anything we hadn't tasted before. Instead, the girls who had already tried these things were given a chance to experience some new activities in a new environment.
Finally, how about something a little more exciting?
Looking at the colorful food laid out on the table, Jingu had a bold idea.
In the afternoon, the scorching sun mercilessly burned the girls' skin. Instead of going to play with any of the girls, Jingu hid in a small shop on the beach.
"What? Has Lord Jingu finally remembered me? You've left me out for so long."
With a slightly resentful tone, Bao Ji used the excuse of resting to avoid Ibuki and the others, and secretly met with Jingu at a small shop on the beach.
"I have important business to discuss with you."
Although she said that, Jingu's eyes kept darting to Hijiri, and no one would believe her words.
"What is it?"
Bao Ji licked her lips, moved closer to the shrine, and involuntarily wanted to twist her body to get closer to it.
Upon hearing what the shrine had to say, Bao Ji immediately smiled charmingly and touched him with her delicate hand.
"The idea is great, but their scent is too strong. They'll definitely be able to smell it. What should we do?"
"Mixed in with the parfait? Great idea, but I feel like something's missing~"
“Ah, it’s so hot!”
Kuga Hikaru and Hanayama Haru couldn't stand the scorching sun anymore and wanted to eat something cool and sweet to relieve the heat.
"Huh? What's that Jingu doing here? Are you going to make some desserts yourself?"
Somewhat surprisingly, it was Jingu standing behind the counter. After all, it was quite unexpected for her to be alone there; there should at least be a girl with her.
"Of course, can't I make desserts?"
Jingu remained calm and composed as he pushed two cups of parfait ice cream in front of the two of them.
"You've come at the perfect time. Come and have a taste, I just made it."
Without a second thought, Kuga Hikaru and Hanayama Haru took a bite. It was full of cream, and they thought it would be very sweet, but it wasn't very sweet at all. The taste was a little strange, but it was surprisingly good.
"Not bad. I thought you lived a life of luxury, but it turns out you can make desserts too. That's a bonus."
Kuga Hikaru loved desserts, and she quickly finished the entire large cup of parfait, licking the white cream off her lips.
"It tastes good! We're leaving now!"
After the two left, Bao Ji emerged from under the counter. Her delicate and boneless body allowed her to easily squeeze into even this folding counter, just like a snake.
Licking the cream off her lips, Bao Ji looked at Jingu with lingering desire. She was on the verge of losing control, and it was only through long training that she had managed to remain rational.
"We have enough of the ingredients; this much is enough to balance my taste."
He opened his mouth to the shrine, showing him the amount of auxiliary materials he had painstakingly collected, his mouth emitting steaming hot air.
"Next, it's time for the main ingredients, which should be collected by Lord Shrine."
Turning her back, Bao Ji arched her back, resting her chin on her hand against the counter, forming a perfect arch shape.
Jingu took a deep breath. To complement so many auxiliary ingredients, he also needed to work hard to mine enough of the main ingredient.
