"As this is my first official Servant job, I will do my best!"

As he spoke, Bo Dao eagerly sized up the two unfamiliar faces on the field, his gaze sweeping back and forth between them. He excitedly licked his lips and said:

"Which one is the enemy? Or are they both?"

"Don't worry, Ritsuka-neechan, I'll eat them all up!"

Renka and Nanayama Moeshika couldn't sense the power emanating from Ina, but they could clearly perceive one thing—

The other party is definitely not a real human little girl, but some kind of monster wearing a human skin!

Especially when the other party scanned them, the two women could feel a real threat of death, which meant that the other party was not just bluffing.

"Alright, I haven't said anything yet."

Fujimaru Ritsuka, both amused and exasperated, stopped Hata's actions; her purpose in summoning him was not for battle.

She said to Bo Dao:

"I want to investigate what happened on this land in the past."

Come spicy!

Chapter 386 The Truth of the Tragedy

According to the old woman in the village, the other party was probably the resentment of a fox demon that had been causing trouble in this place a long time ago, and it was eventually suppressed here.

Perhaps because the shrine was destroyed, the seal loosened, ultimately allowing the other party to reappear in the world.

However, the exact story behind it can only be known through Bo Dao's abilities.

"Oh, is that all?"

Upon learning that her mission wasn't combat, Bo Dao was slightly disappointed, but quickly rallied, confidently patting her chest and declaring:

"Leave this kind of trivial matter to me!"

Lianhua silently observed Bodao with a mixture of wariness and curiosity, wondering what she was going to do.

At that moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at her and invited her with a smile:

"Does Lianhua want to come along?"

Together?

doing what?

Faced with the unknown before her, Renka hesitated for a moment, but in the end she nodded gently and walked to Fujimaru Ritsuka's side.

"Are you ready?"

"So--"

Seeing the others nod to indicate they were ready, Bo Dao's right pupil suddenly emitted a dazzling red light.

The next moment, Lianhua felt a flash before her eyes, her feet lighten, and when her vision returned, the scene before her was completely different from before—

They were suspended in a tunnel of pure white light, with rainbow-like colors flashing past them, or perhaps they were moving at high speed within the tunnel.

Lianhua looked at everything before her with some astonishment and confusion, and murmured:

"here it is……!?"

Although we don't know where we are, one thing is certain: this is definitely not a scene that could happen on Earth!

At that moment, watching the colorful dots flashing by, she subconsciously stared at them closely, only to find that they were not dots of light at all, but rather colorful images.

"I said, don't look around."

Just as Lianhua was about to observe more closely, Bodao's voice, carrying a warning tone, came from ahead—

"If you fall in, it's none of my business."

Did they fall in?

Lianhua's doubts deepened, but before she could think further, Bodao suddenly spoke again:

"found it!"

The moment the words were spoken, the scene changed again.

The next moment, they found themselves on an unfamiliar mountaintop, surrounded by lush vegetation, and it was daytime.

"here it is?"

Looking at the unfamiliar scenery before her, Lianhua felt a strange sense of familiarity.

Upon hearing this, Bo Dao casually replied without taking it seriously:

"This place was probably more than three hundred years ago."

"More than three hundred years ago...?!"

Lianhua stared wide-eyed in astonishment.

The familiar yet unfamiliar scenery before her, along with Bo Dao's answer, led her to an unbelievable conclusion.

Thinking of this, she subconsciously looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and asked cautiously:

"Is this...an illusion?"

Fujimaru Ritsuka scratched her head and said:

"You can say yes, you can say no."

They were merely bystanders from the future; to them, this place was no different from a dream. But to Bo Dao, who could freely interfere with the timeline, this place was indeed the real past.

"..."

Lianhua fell silent, or more accurately, seemed to have gone into a state of malfunction due to being too shocked.

Mashu remained calm, because this felt like the spirit transfer she experienced when entering a singularity, and even gave her a sense of familiarity, like coming home.

"Sister Ritsuka, that must be the fox spirit you're looking for, right?"

At that moment, Hata pointed in a direction, and Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others looked in the direction she indicated, and sure enough, they found a fox spirit that had maintained its original form on a rock.

The fox demon was sitting upright on the rock, staring intently at something in the distance.

Fujimaru Ritsuka and the others came to its side and followed its gaze. They soon saw a handsome young man doing farm work on the mountainside.

"A fox demon, a boy...?"

Bo Dao slightly sped up time, and the scene began to change continuously—

That boy was very outstanding, had a strong sense of justice, and often stood up for others, but in the end he always made up with them and smiled together.

The fox spirit, on the other hand, kept a close eye on him, whether he was doing farm work, playing, or training to become a warrior...

The fox spirit watched him silently in the shadows, day after day, year after year, as the boy gradually grew into an outstanding young man.

One day, the man was injured while doing farm work and bled profusely.

At this moment, the fox demon who had been silently observing the other party finally couldn't help but take action. It transformed into a young and beautiful girl and appeared in front of the man to heal his wounds.

And then, naturally, they fell in love.

However, on their wedding day, a sudden war engulfed the peaceful village. In the blink of an eye, countless houses collapsed and were burned down, and innocent villagers were killed one after another.

The man who was about to become the fox spirit's husband also lost his life in this war.

The fox demon lay on the corpse and wept until her tears ran dry, until her tears turned into blood.

The immense hatred and resentment caused the fox demon to revert to its original form, wreaking havoc in human cities, frantically venting its hatred, and spreading slaughter and curses without restraint.

In the end, the fox demon suffered a counterattack from the humans and was severely injured. She clung to her last breath and returned to the place where she lived with the man, dying with resentment and bitterness.

Even though the fox demon was dead, her resentment could not be eliminated and even intensified.

People had no choice but to try their best to seal it away, building a shrine above it to suppress it and erecting countless fox statues around it to guard it.

Time continued to pass, and the village that had been destroyed by war was rebuilt around the shrine and the fox statue, only to be destroyed again by war.

The shrine, which was originally meant to suppress resentment, was also destroyed in the war, revealing the sealed artifacts within.

By this time, most people had long forgotten the true meaning of the shrine on the mountaintop and the fox statues scattered throughout the village.

One day, an inspired young girl who came from out of town to study accidentally arrived at the mountaintop and discovered that it was covered with red hibiscus flowers. In the sea of ​​flowers, there was a loose, exposed sealing stone.

The girl seemed to be drawn in and gently touched the sealing stone.

Thus, the girl absorbed the terrifying resentment that had been sealed in this place for many years and became the Nanayama Moe Seika that they saw.

"So that's what it is..."

Having finally understood the whole story, Fujimaru Ritsuka and Mashu exchanged a glance and sighed.

The war led to the innocent death of the fox demon's lover, and the fox demon caused even more tragedies in her attempt to avenge her lover, ultimately leading to her being hunted down.

The whole incident can only be described as a helpless tragedy.

However, despite their sighs, they quickly composed themselves and got back to the main topic.

Fujimaru Ritsuka pondered:

"But that means the fox demon died long ago, and all that's left is its resentment after death, right?"

Mashu said firmly:

"Although the fox demon is pitiful, we cannot allow her to continue to commit more killings."

"Ok, I know."

Fujimaru Ritsuka nodded in agreement.

Having understood this, she knew how to deal with Nanayama Moe Shika.

No, to be precise, it's about dealing with the resentment of the fox demon that's possessing the other person's body.

"Then, let's go back."
