To the Black Swamp Dense Flower, the Rising Sun Mountain at night was dangerous and terrifying. Here, countless vengeful spirits roamed the area. Any living beings who saw them would lose their lives and become part of them. They were repeating their own deaths all the time. There was no end to it. Anyone who was entangled by these vengeful spirits would be dragged into the abyss of death, never to return.
But now...
"Roar — —!!!"
Accompanied by the howl of a wolf, the Spectre Tiger pounced forward. In front of it, a vengeful spirit in tattered clothes turned around and ran for its life. Before it could take more than a few steps, the Spectre Tiger leaped up and slapped the vengeful spirit to the ground. At the same time, Hei Ze Lian raised the projector in his hand and shot a series of shots. In an instant, the vengeful spirit in tattered clothes turned into specks of light that resembled fireflies and was sucked into the lens of the projector.
"It doesn't seem like this person..."
Hei Zelian frowned as he looked at the image behind the projector.
"This is just an ordinary vengeful spirit that committed suicide... Anka, let's continue!"
"Roar — —!!!"
Hearing Hei Zelian's order, the Spectre Tiger roared angrily and dashed deeper into the forest.
"..."
"What's wrong? Dense Flower? "
Turning around, Hei Zelian realized that Dense Flower and Fang Xili were standing there blankly, staring at the scene in front of them as if they were bewitched, not knowing how to react.
"This... Is this reasonable?"
Hearing Hei Zelian's question, Black Swamp Dense Flower hesitated for a while before finally asking. Of course, perhaps because she was too shocked, Black Swamp Dense Flower's question came out of nowhere. But Hei Zelian seemed to understand what she meant, and smiled.
"Ahahaha... This is indeed unbelievable for you guys. But this is Miss Zan's method of exorcism. In fact, this is already considered very gentle. I once heard from the Amaterasu sisters that she once summoned an entire army of ghosts and wiped out all the vengeful spirits in the village. "
"Uhh..."
Hearing Hei Ze Lian's words, the Black Swamp Dense Flower and Fang Xili looked at each other in dismay. They couldn't imagine what was going on.
Hei Ze Lian did not say much about this. After all, Zhui's method of spirit removal was too exaggerated. Unless one witnessed it with their own eyes, it would be hard for an ordinary person to imagine.
"Alright, let's continue forward. We must find that woodcutter!"
Just as everyone was trying to eliminate the resentment of the witches, Hikari had already arrived at the Higashiro Shrine halfway up the mountain, humming a song. The witches knew why she was here, and they could feel the great power she possessed, so no one stopped her along the way.
This was also why he liked to show his strength at the beginning. As long as he showed his strength, the other party would make a wise choice. Now that the vengeful spirits of the witches on the mountain knew that Mein was the only one who could save them from this fate, of course they wouldn't be rude to her.
"This is the Kagashiro Shrine."
Pushing open the paper door, Mein slowly walked into the shrine. Looking inside, she could see all kinds of dolls in kimonos placed everywhere in the shrine. Japanese dolls could be seen everywhere, be it in the corridors, on the ground or at the corners of the door.
But then again, these dolls really did look ….
Staring at the doll at the door, Mein took a closer look. Standing in the corner was a long-haired female doll. Her kimono was not neatly dressed. The front of the kimono was untidy, as if someone had forcibly torn it open. Mein could even see the curve of her chest.
She gave off the impression of a disheveled woman who was raped by an evil official in an Edo period drama ….
Hmm, what a pervert!
Mein silently gave her a thumbs up.
The further she went, the more dolls she saw. These dolls were divided into two types. One type was an ordinary doll that was neatly dressed and standing by the wall. The other type was either lying on the ground or sitting in a corner. Most of these dolls were dressed in messy clothes, with their chests and backs exposed. Even their thighs could be seen from under their messy kimono skirts ….
Is this really a place where evil spirits roam? It feels more like a toy shop.
Why don't I bring these dolls back with me?
While admiring the dolls, Mein thought to herself. After all, the shop was too big, so she did need some decorations. These dolls had a certain degree of spiritual energy, so they could be used at home to ward off disasters and pray for blessings. Besides, aren't those dolls pretty?
It's a bit of a waste to leave them here.
Especially this girl. Look, white hair, red eyes, wearing a black kimono, so cute …. Hmm?
When Mein walked into the inner room, she saw a girl in her teens sitting on the table in front of her. She had white hair, bright red eyes, and was wearing a black kimono. She was sitting on the table with other dolls. If one didn't look carefully, they would think that she was no different from an ordinary doll ….
Wait, isn't this the girl?
While Mein was still in a daze, the white-haired girl raised her head and looked at her.
"I've been found."
As she said that, the white-haired girl jumped down from the table and stared at her curiously.
"You won't die either?"
"I won't die."
Mein shook her head and looked at the girl in front of her again.
"You're Bai Ju …."
"How do you know my name?"
The white-haired girl was obviously surprised to hear Mein call out her name, but Mein didn't say anything. She hesitated for a moment, then reached into her pocket and took out a strand of white hair.
"That's my …. Incense?!"
Seeing the strand of hair, Bai Ju's expression turned uglier and uglier. As if responding to the change in her mood, the surrounding air became much colder.
"Why is it in your hands?"
It was no wonder that Bai Ju was so angry. The incense could be regarded as a "token of love" for the witch. With this "token of love", the man could directly take the incense up the mountain to marry Bai Ju. But now, the incense was in someone else's hands. In Bai Ju's eyes, this was no different from her husband's wedding ring appearing in another woman's hands ….
"Sigh …."
Looking at Bai Ju, Mein sighed and walked to her side. He patted Bai Ju's head and sat down.
"It's a long story …. Anyway, calm down first and listen to me."
In fact, on the way to Mount Hiroyama, Mein had been thinking about the tangled love triangle with Kunihiko Aso. The vengeful spirits of Mount Hiroyama were easy to deal with, but the love triangle was a headache. Mein had originally planned to summon Kunihiko Aso from the Yellow Springs and get married. But after some thought, he decided against it. What if Kunihiko Aso really forgot about Bai Ju and he summoned him? If Kunihiko Aso looked at Bai Ju and asked, "Who are you?" Xiaobai would probably turn into a villain on the spot.
Therefore, Mein decided to cut the Gordian knot and resolve it decisively. Telling him directly … was better than delaying.
"Is that so …."
After listening to Mein's story, Bai Ju lowered her head.
"He forgot about me …."
The girl murmured to herself as a teardrop rolled down from the corner of her eye. It was obvious that Bai Ju was feeling quite sad at the moment. After all, no matter what, Aso was her only Prince Charming in her childhood. He was the one who gave Bai Ju hope and confidence in life. But in the end, the person who started it all had completely forgotten about it. The poor little girl had been waiting here for hundreds of years.
"That's how first love is."
Mein reached out and patted Bai Ju's head gently.
"Just because the past is beautiful doesn't mean it will continue forever. And for you, this isn't the end."
"No, it's already over …."
Bai Ju slowly stood up and lowered her head. A cold aura gradually spread out, and a stream of black tears flowed down her cheeks. Then, the girl slowly walked back, her figure gradually becoming fainter.
"Really, that's why I said, little girl …."
But just as Bai Ju was about to disappear, Mein grabbed her hand and pulled hard. The next moment, Bai Ju was pulled into Mein's arms.
Faced with Mein's unexpected action, Bai Ju was a little surprised. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the girl in front of her.
"…. Huh?"
"Didn't I tell you? Falling out of love isn't a big deal. Everyone will fall out of love. First love, after all, is beautiful and bitter. I can understand what kind of feeling it is for you. After all, she was the only person who was willing to accept you …. "
As she spoke, Mein looked at Bai Ju again and reached out to wipe away the black tears at the corner of her eyes.
"But times change. Falling out of love isn't the end of the world. Come, have a good cry, then eat a big meal, and then it'll be over, right? "
Mein looked at Bai Ju with a smile and touched her face.
"If you don't mind, I'm always welcome. You still have a long life ahead of you. Soon, you will unload your burdens and resume your normal life. There will be more beautiful things waiting for you in the future. If he closed himself off, nothing would change. But I can promise you that when you wake up and leave this place, you will have a better future. "
"…."
Hearing Mein's words, Bai Ju just raised her head and stared at her blankly.
After a while, she cried out, hugged Mein in front of her, and burst into tears.
