"No, I'm fine."
The two girls were more or less vigilant against the sudden appearance of Crimson, but perhaps because she was about the same age as them, they let down their guard and answered in a low voice.
"My name is Crimson, you are … …?"
Crimson scanned the surroundings, and after making sure there were no evil spirits around, she introduced herself to the two girls.
Hearing Crimson's question, the two girls looked at each other, then one of them said.
"My name is Amaterasu Chi, she's my older sister, Amaterasu Cocoon."
"Hello."
Crimson nodded to the two of them. Then, she glanced down and saw a square black box in Ta Cangzhi's hand. Seeing this thing, Crimson's expression changed slightly.
"Projector? Why do you have this? "
After the incident in the Ice Room, Dusk no longer cared about what happened here. Instead, Crimson, perhaps because of her brother, was very concerned about what happened in the Ice Room. Of course, although she knew the ins and outs of the Ice Room's disaster, there were still some things she didn't understand until now.
One of them was where did he get the projector he had obtained back then.
After learning from Dusk that there were fragments of the Divine Mirror in the Projector, Crimson was even more puzzled.
Because according to what she saw in the past, the Divine Mirror broke into five pieces after the ritual failed. After the ritual failed, because miasma gushed out of the Gate of the Underworld, everyone in the Ice Room was affected and completely destroyed. After that, the Ice Room became a place of death.
So who put the fragments of the Divine Mirror in the Projector?
Could it be the young Mikasa Kiki?
Crimson was puzzled, because according to what she saw in the past, the Ice Room didn't have the Projector in the past. The Projector appeared when her great-grandmother's family moved here, and her grandmother obtained it from Mikasa Kiki's ghost. As for where Mikasa Kiki got the Projector, Crimson didn't know.
Moreover, considering what she saw of Miyagi's past, Crimson really doubted whether she knew what the projector machine was used for. After all, that was more than a hundred years ago. Moreover, Kurui had been under house arrest since she was seven years old. She probably didn't even know what a projector was ….
Of course, Hidaka Crimson didn't insist on getting to the bottom of it. After all, she wasn't an expert in this field. If she couldn't figure it out, she wouldn't bother thinking about it.
But at this moment, in another village far away from the ice house, she actually found an identical projector … This made Crimson Hidaka have to think more deeply about it.
Could it be that they were like him, that the camera was passed down from their ancestors?
Just as Crimson was puzzled, Amagura Ho pointed at the floor beside him.
"That … I picked it up from here …"
"…"
"Is there a problem?"
"No, it's nothing."
Crimson shook her head at Amagura's question.
"Mind if I take a look at this camera?"
"Of course, no problem."
Amagura Ho handed over the projector. Crimson stretched out her right hand and took it.
The next moment, the scene in front of her changed again.
The originally dim and closed room turned into a dark and white forest. In the forest, a middle-aged man in a kimono was walking forward slowly with a projector in his hand. At the same time, a voice rang in his ear.
"This is a machine for taking pictures of unreasonable things …. A projector. If you use it to take pictures of that mysterious ritual, what will you see?"
The man in the kimono walked to the depths of the forest and stopped in front of a stone pillar tied with a rope. He slowly raised the projector and looked forward.
At this moment, dozens of white arms suddenly stretched out of the stone pillar and grabbed at the man. The man was so scared that he instinctively pressed the camera button. With a click, the white arms instantly disappeared, and the man himself fell to the ground. He stared at the stone pillar in front of him dumbfounded, speechless.
Then, Crimson opened her eyes.
How annoying ….
Looking at the projector in front of her, Crimson had an unpleasant feeling in her heart. The scene just now reminded her of the Icehouse Kiki she met in the Icehouse. At that time, the Icehouse Kiki who was haunted by miasma and ghosts looked like this. She had countless white arms behind her, grabbing and tearing her prey into pieces. She was cruel and terrifying.
And, although she didn't know that person, he said something about a ritual …. Could it be that this place was like the Icehouse, with a Gate of the Underworld?
"Miss Crimson?"
The Amagura sisters looked at Crimson, who was standing there in a daze, curiously. Amagura Ho opened her mouth and pulled Crimson back.
"Hold this projector properly."
While speaking, Crimson handed the projector back to Amagura Ho.
"It can be used to expel evil spirits for self-protection. This place is very dangerous. With this projector, you'll be safer. "
"Thank you, Miss Crimson."
Taking the projector from Crimson, Amagura Ho nodded. Then, she looked at the girl in front of her uneasily.
"That …. You said evil spirits, could it be ….?"
"Hmm …. I'm afraid there's no one in this village anymore."
Crimson sighed, then looked at the two curiously.
"Why are you here?"
"I was chasing after my sister …. When I came back to my senses, I was already here."
As Tau Ceti spoke, he subconsciously glanced at Tau Ceti, who lowered his head.
"I'm sorry, I just … wanted to chase butterflies …."
"Butterflies?"
"That's right, red butterflies, very beautiful, as if they're calling me …."
"….?"
Crimson tilted her head in confusion, but she didn't dwell on it.
"In short, we're trapped in this village. We must find a way to get out."
"Trapped here ….? Sure enough, what was written in that notebook was true? "
Hearing Crimson's words, Amagura Ho and Amagura Ho's expressions changed.
"Notebook?"
"Yes."
While speaking, Amagura Hito took out a red notebook.
"We found this in this house. It belongs to a young lady. She seems to have come here to find her lover, but after coming in, she couldn't get out …."
"I see."
Looking at the notebook in Amagura Ho's hand, Crimson sighed, then looked at the two sisters in front of her with a serious expression.
"In short, this place is very dangerous. We'd better act together. Those vengeful spirits are likely to be everywhere. You must be careful and don't run around, understand?"
"Okay."
"Then, let's go."
After saying that, Crimson turned around and walked towards the gate with the sisters. Amagura Ho and Amagura Ho followed beside Crimson, feeling a little relieved. After all, when they first came here, they didn't know what to do. Now that they saw someone with them, the two sisters felt much more relaxed.
"That …. Miss Crimson, why are you here?"
As they walked, Amagura Ho looked at Crimson and asked curiously.
"My …. great-grandmother seems to be from here, so I came here to investigate and see if I can find any clues …."
While saying that, Crimson pushed the door open and looked at the dark night outside.
"It seems that my idea was correct."
Soon, under Crimson's lead, the three left the house and continued walking along the street. However, before they could take a few steps, they saw a flash of light and a figure in front of them. Then, the three girls saw several villagers holding long sticks and torches at the end of the street. They looked around as if they were looking for something and muttered something from time to time.
At that moment, the villagers saw the three and screamed.
"Found it! It's here!! "
While shouting, the villagers ran towards the three of them.
"Miss Crimson …!"
"Let's get out of here first!"
Looking at the vengeful spirits of the villagers rushing towards them, Crimson hurriedly made a decision. She turned around and intended to leave from the other side with the sisters. However, as soon as they turned around, they discovered that the street behind them had been blocked by the vengeful spirits of the villagers. They raised torches and all kinds of farming tools and surrounded the three of them aggressively.
"What do we do now?"
"Follow me closely, we're going to break out!!"
Compared to the Amakura sisters who were at a loss of what to do, Kurumi, who had stayed in the Ice Chamber before, was obviously more experienced. Although these vengeful spirits looked menacing, Kurumi had also experienced being surrounded by thousands of vengeful spirits in the Ice Chamber. Naturally, she wouldn't be so easily frightened by the vengeful spirits of a dozen villagers. She suddenly raised the phone in her hand, and soon, a dazzling light emerged from it, shining ahead.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The villagers' souls who were illuminated by the holy light screamed and hurriedly retreated to the sides, trying to escape from the range of the holy light. At the same time, a gap appeared in their encirclement.
"Quick, get out of here!"
Amidst Crimson's shouts, Tian Cangzhi also hurriedly escaped with the cocoon. Meanwhile, Crimson was at the back, shaking her phone and releasing holy light to disperse the vengeful spirits that were trying to charge over.
The three of them moved forward along the street. Crimson was responsible for dispersing the souls who were chasing after them, while Tau Ceti was in front with the camera, driving away the souls who were blocking the way. After running for a long time, the souls finally dispersed and disappeared.
"Phew …."
After making sure that the souls chasing after them had disappeared, Crimson heaved a sigh of relief and turned her head to look ahead.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Sister, you … Huh?"
Hearing Hidaka Crimson's question, Tau Ceti put down the projector and nodded. Then, she subconsciously looked at her elder sister, who was beside her, but … .at that moment, both of them were surprised to find that Tau Ceti, who had always been with them, had disappeared!
