Whose personality mask's power comes from the heroic spirit?

Baibai Se Haruka nodded slightly.

"I'm a clerk at Kurosawa Antique Coffee Shop." Fang Xili explained, "I saw your missing person request in Miss Mihua's request file before."

"...Who commissioned it?" The girl looked up at Fang Xili and asked.

"It's a person named Hiyano Touyang."

"Dongyang..." Baibai Lai Chunhe's face showed a little more melancholy, "I made her worried."

"Why are you here?" Seeing that Haruka Momomoses had recovered some of her strength, Kotoko Iwanaga leaned over and asked.

"...I remember that I seemed to hear the calls of my deceased classmates..." Momohiro Haruka recalled his last memory before he lost his memory, and then replied, "When I came to my senses, I had already followed the sunset here..."

Baibaize Haruka looked around at the environment around him, as if to deepen his impression.

"Then I was in a trance again. When I woke up, I was in that cave... An old woman dressed in a very strange way stood next to the box and suddenly shone a mirror on me. Then, while I was blinded, she pushed me into the box and locked me up. After struggling in vain, I was submerged in water and completely lost consciousness... When I opened my eyes, I saw a man wrapped in iron armor carrying me out of the box."

"Where is the armored man who rescued me from the box?" Looking around, he didn't see the first person he saw after waking up. Bai Baise Haruka felt a little unsure.

"In the midst of violent demolition." Taiyi pointed in the direction of the shrine behind him and replied, "I didn't let her fight just now, and it seems that she was a little angry, so she went inside to vent her anger."

By the way, drain the remaining night spring water in the cave.

"She..." Bai Baise Haruka was still a little dazed at the time, and Mordred's tone was somewhat rough like a bad boy, so she really didn't expect that the person under the armor would be a girl.

"Hey! Taichi, these are the brats you were looking for before!" Before Bai Baise Harukawa could say anything, Mordred kicked and drove out a group of evil spirits from the shrine.

The evil spirits of the three brats are also among them.

"Speaking of which, did these guys lose their brains after they died?" Mordred asked in confusion, "What were they thinking of using their nails to collide with my armor?"

"Although I have become weaker, my armor is not made of paper."

"Maybe it's because they lost their rationality due to the unjust death." Taiyi lifted the cloak from his shoulders and then threw it at the evil spirits suppressed by Mordred.

Forced purification!

Bai Baise Haruka just watched in bewilderment as the evil spirits were escorted out, and then was beaten to death by the only male present with a cloak.

"Am I... safe?" Only then did she feel the reality of being rescued.

"It's not safe yet." Taiyi shook his head and replied, "After all, we are still in Rishang Mountain, the territory of the evil spirits."

"Besides, the main purpose of our trip to the mountain has not yet been accomplished. We still have to continue exploring the mountain. Even more dangerous things are still to come."

"What is the main purpose?" Bai Baise Haruka looked at Taiyi and asked.

"Miss Mihua is missing." Fang Xili explained, "We followed the clues and found this place."

"It was pure chance that I found and rescued you from that cave," Taichi added.

"We have no plans to return." Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Momose Harukawa and said, "Do you want to continue walking in with us? Or do you want to go down the mountain and return to the town first? I can call a taxi for you."

Because Mordred has already materialized and appeared beside her, and Minamoto no Raikou may also materialize next, Iwanaga Kotoko is now extremely inflated, so inflated that she can confidently add a burden to the team.

"...Can I go with you?" Bai Baise Haruka hesitated for a moment, then looked at the people present with some uneasiness, "I, I don't dare to go alone."

"Then let me help you." Shinjo Akane took the hand from Fang Xili and took Bai Baise Haruka and said, "I am the only one who has some free time now."

The frontline fighters are Taichi and Mordred.

The guide and projector is not Fang Xili.

Kotoko Iwanaga has some difficulty climbing mountains.

By this calculation, Akane Shinjo, who doesn't need to contribute much right now, is really the only person suitable to support Haruka Momohiro.

Unless it's time for her to open the program and use Aunt Shimabukuro's skills.

"I'm Xin Tiao Qian, you can call me Xin Tiao Jie."

Haruka Momohase is a person without her own opinion and she is not very good at saying no to others, so as they continued on their way, Akane Shinjo quickly got the information out of her.

We haven’t even reached the lake yet.

Generally speaking, these kids are unlucky.

Just because I went with the flow, I joined a suicide group for no apparent reason.

As a result, when she committed suicide by sinking into the water, three of her classmates died, but another person she had a good relationship with, Himeno Toyo, unexpectedly survived.

Bing Jianye Dongyang was fine, but because she had some spiritual talent, she received the thoughts of her three dead classmates before they died. Then, she was seduced by the "sunset" not long ago and came to this dangerous place.

Anyway, after listening to her self-narration, everyone present seemed to be silent, each with their own thoughts.

When they arrived at the lake, Mordred took off his armor without saying a word, revealing his casual clothes inside the armor, and then strode into the lake.

"That armor, was it constructed by Mordred using his spiritual power?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Mordred, who was lightly equipped, with some surprise, then turned to look at Taichi's hand.

If I remember correctly, the parts of the armor can be taken off and lent to others.

To be honest, she kind of wanted to borrow it.

Chapter 40: The main plot is not there yet, but the side plots are coming one after another

"... Well, it does work, but it's not as good as the Night Spring Water." Mordred shook his head and sighed helplessly, and walked out of the lake. "Even if I drain this lake, the effect will probably be barely comparable to the Night Spring Water I absorbed before, but the time wasted to absorb the lake water is much longer than before."

“It’s not worth it.”

"That's really a pity." Taiyi shook his head with some regret when he heard that.

He was also thinking of using the water in this lake to materialize Minamoto no Raikou and Jeanne d'Arc.

After all, we are still in the exploration stage, and the more fighters in the team, the better.

Leaving the lake and passing through the mountains and forests, a relatively well-preserved building appeared on the road ahead.

After unfolding the map and comparing it briefly, Taiyi determined that the well-preserved building in front of him should be the large shrine on Mount Hiyama, Yougong.

This also shows that everyone has arrived not far from the top of the mountain.

"Let's take a break here first." Iwanaga Kotoko squatted down and rubbed her ankle and said, "I'm so tired that I can't stand it anymore."

Although her expensive prosthetic limbs allowed her to move freely, they did put some burden on her when climbing, so she had been holding on all the way.

"Well, let's rest here for a while." Taiyi nodded in agreement, and took out bread and mineral water from his backpack and distributed them one by one, "Eat something to fill your stomach first."

Bai Baise Haruka still held the bottle of mineral water and drank it bit by bit.

After checking the date, she had confirmed the time of her disappearance.

Less than four days and more than eighty hours.

It is indeed not suitable to eat bread, and even water cannot be drunk too much.

But now she can only rely on drinking water to stay half full.

"You guys rest here first, I'll go in and investigate." Mordred was a little impatient. After taking the bread and water from Taiyi, he strode towards the Ghost Palace.

"Don't be too reckless. If you encounter an enemy that you can't defeat for the time being, come back as soon as possible." Taiyi warned with some concern.

"Got it!" Mordred's voice sounded a little exasperated.

He must be very dissatisfied with his current imperfect state.

Fang Xili ate the bread, pressed it with water, and then began to look around with the projector.

I don’t know if it’s because of the sun, but the images taken by the projector are a little blurry.

Just when Fang Xili was considering whether she should wipe the lens, the outline of a strange figure appeared in her sight.

"...Everyone, I found the traces of another person besides Miss Mihua." Fang Xili said quickly, "The direction she was heading..."

Moving the camera, Fang Xili carefully observed the actions of the girl in the camera.

The direction the camera finally pointed to was... the entrance of the Ghost Palace.

"That person, she went in." Fang Xili said, pointing in the direction of the You Palace.

"Another person who was deceived and came here?" Iwanaga Kotoko tilted her head and murmured in confusion, "However, how did this person get deceived and go into such a deep area this time?"

"She doesn't look like she came here out of deception." Fang Xili shook her head and replied, "That person seemed to retain her self-judgment. She was quite hesitant before going in. She circled around the door several times before she went in as if she had made up her mind."

"Could he be a member of the exploratory conference?" Iwanaga Kotoko speculated, "He was forced to go in by his friends."

"Every time we go on a school trip, those idiots with water in their brains always do this."

"I'm not sure about that." Fang Xili shook her head and replied, "I can't see the expression on that person's face."

"We can't tell when that person went in." Taiyi shook his head, then looked at Fang Xili and asked, "Can you see what era's popular clothing that person is wearing?"

"It's modern clothing." Fang Xili put the camera back in front of her eyes, "Looking at the style, it should have been released in the past two years. It has a light and airy feeling, and looks like... the type that often appears on TV?"

"Maybe she is the same as Miss Kurosawa. It depends on whether Mordred will meet her in there." Akane Shinjo said with narrowed eyes.

"One after the other?" Iwanaga Kotoko looked at Shinjo Akane.

"It's just a casual guess." Xin Tiao Qian replied with a dry laugh, "Maybe he came out that day and went down the mountain to go home."

"I only saw her going in, but no sign of her coming out." Fang Xili shook her head and replied.

"...It is also possible that he encountered something similar to what happened to Ms. Bai Baise and was locked in the box?"

Bai Baise Haruka on the side lowered his neck in fear.

"What about Miss Kurosawa's whereabouts?" Taiyi couldn't see Fang Xili and changed the subject.

"Although it's a little blurry, the general movement range is still around here." Bu Lai Fang Xili replied, "However, I can't tell whether Miss Mihua has entered this 'Ghost Palace' based on her whereabouts."

"It is impossible to see Miss Mihua's next move for the time being."

"It seems that we have no choice but to search this palace again." Iwanaga Kotoko tapped her prosthetic knee and said, "Whether we are looking for the person who may have gone in and never came out, or looking for the trace of Miss Kurosawa, this palace is the key."

Just when they had rested enough and were preparing to get up and enter the palace, Mordred came out with a look of joy on his face but also cursing.

"Hey! Taiyi! I found a rich source of night spring water in there. Maybe I can materialize another one."

"It's just that there are too many coffin lids nearby. It's really unlucky."

"Did you see anyone active?" Taiyi asked, "Or were there any signs of activity not long ago?"

"I didn't notice that." Mordred shook his head and replied, "I was concentrating on absorbing the night spring water at that time, and I also beat up a few blind evil spirits by the way."

"Although I'm still not at my peak form, at least I can compare with the state I had in Shibuya." Mordred said, waving his fists in the air a few times.

"That's really great!" Kotoko Iwanaga came over with a look of joy and tried to touch Mordred.

"What do you want to do?" Mordred stared at her warily and took a half step back.

She always felt that this girl had a dagger hidden behind her smile and had ill intentions towards her.

“……” Seeing Mordred’s disgusted look, Iwanaga Kotoko almost burst into tears.

Chapter 41 Mordred: As long as you don’t steal my job, we are all good colleagues

"So beautiful..." Looking at the altar surrounded by fiery red lanterns, Bai Baise Harukawa couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"...Who lit those lanterns?" Taiyi rubbed his arms uncomfortably and asked a question that made everyone present shrink their necks.

"Don't think too deeply about it. Just assume that it was set on fire by someone who accidentally stumbled into this place." Iwanaga Kotoko reminded Taichi, patting him on the back.

"Oh, come to think of it, when I came in before, there was someone wearing something like a witch blocking the door." Mordred suddenly said, "Although he was chopped, it didn't seem like he was killed. I guess it was the lantern that the guy lit."

"Also, come with me, the Night Spring is down there." Mordred said as he turned and walked towards the side door on the right after opening the door.

If Fang Xili hadn't come, she could have just seen the girl's figure moving in that direction.

Perhaps because Mordred had come in and cleaned up things before, Taiyi and his companions did not see a single evil spirit along the way.

However, because there was little light in the sealed space, Taiyi's flashlight came in handy again.

At the end of the corridor, after pushing the double sliding doors towards the interior, the night spring that was higher than the calves, the numerous huge supporting pillars, and the huge black box on the central platform scared Momose Haruka so much that she went straight into Shinjo Akane's arms.

"Didn't you open the box?" Taiyi looked at Mordred and asked.

"The force I used before couldn't open it." Mordred explained, "I didn't dare to use too much force, for fear of accidentally killing the people who might still be alive inside."

"The projector seems to be able to see something." Fang Xili, who had been holding the projector in front of her eyes, suddenly said, "But I have to get closer to take a good picture."

"Well, leave it to me then." Taiyi stepped directly into the water. "Wait a moment, wait until the water becomes shallower before coming down, so as not to be tripped by things under the water again."

The night spring water seemed to be summoned by something, and the water began to flow rapidly towards Taiyi's direction.

The previous false feeling that the body was forcibly strengthened arose again.
