One of the remaining two silver bullets was used, which made Li Xiang's heart ache, but in order to save Ise Shizuko, he could only do this.
After he pulled Shizuko, he immediately followed the petite figure in the direction she pointed.
The other party seemed to be very familiar with Forgotten Town, and after a few ups and downs, she took them to get rid of the group of ghosts behind them.
"Here!" Her figure sped past, leading the two of them into the ruins of a shrine.
The red torii was already broken, and only half of the shrine building inside remained. As soon as they walked in, the atmosphere was completely different from the outside.
It was as if all the smell from Forgotten Town had been isolated by the torii at the entrance.
The ghosts that rushed over like a tide suddenly let out a burst of mournful cries as they approached the torii and retreated, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Phew …" The petite girl on the side let out a sigh of relief, patting her small chest with lingering fear, "You are really bold, daring to provoke those ghosts. They have been mutated into terrifying creatures, and in the form of a spirit body, they are not afraid of ordinary attacks. "
"If it wasn't for that skeleton soldier …" Li Xiang frowned, the skeleton soldier that suddenly appeared behind them was killed, and the howl before it died attracted the attention of those ghosts, otherwise, he and Shizuko would not have disturbed those guys.
"That was a ghost soldier. At the beginning of the shrine's establishment, Miyagi-sama captured many lonely ghosts and stored them in the corpses of the soldiers who died in the shrine. They have been guarding the shrine as ghost soldiers, but since Miyagi-sama left, the ghost soldiers have been out of control. "
The petite girl turned her body, making a crisp tinkling sound. Only then did Li Xiang realize that she was wearing a white robe with a scarlet scarf. She was wearing white footwear and red sandals. Her long black hair was tied up with white sandalwood paper. She was dressed like a witch during the Blue Planet era.
"You, you are a Miko of the shrine?" Ise Shizuko's reaction was faster than his. After all, ninja also came from the country during the Blue Star period. It could be said that they were of the same origin as the Miko, so she naturally knew this culture very well.
"What shrine is this?" Li Xiang looked around curiously. The pool in front of the shrine was empty, and only the head of the long wooden ladle was left. On both sides of the shrine were thick hemp ropes, and the wind chimes on them were gently ringing. He was surprised to find that the other end of the hemp ropes was actually tied to a long black iron chain, which was covered with runes.
The other end of the chain extended all the way to Little Witch's right leg.
The tinkling sound he heard earlier was the sound of wind chimes as the chains moved.
"This is the Sakura Shrine, the Sakura Shrine of the Forgotten Town. Even though it has fallen, there are still so many ghosts here. You people from the outside world should know about this, right?" Little Witch moved closer and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I think your clothes are different from the ones in Zone 2 of the Subcontinent District."
Li Xiang and Ise Shizuko looked at each other. They saw the same fear and suspicion in each other's eyes.
The Sakura Shrine in Zone 2 of the Subcontinent District was the first of the seven ancient martial arts forces to be eliminated. Ise Shizuko knew better than anyone that the place had been in ruins even before she was born. It was said that the shrine had suffered a devastating impact and was reduced to ruins.
The surrounding towns and cities under the protection of the Sakura Shrine were all destroyed. Later on, the shrine was regarded as an ominous place and no one visited it.
The Chanlu Temple family had fallen on hard times. Tian Yin's grandfather decided to take over the Sakura Shrine in order to erase the name of the traitor of the family. He used his family's ancient martial arts skills to continue to help suppress the disasters.
At the moment, the Sakura Shrine had been moved to City 0266 and Tian Hu of the Chanlu Temple was responsible for it alone.
As for the Sakura Shrine, it had disappeared from the seven continents a long time ago. Not even history was left behind.
If this was the Sakura Shrine, then what was the one in Zone 2 of the Subcontinent District?
Both of them felt that they had touched upon a taboo topic that they should never touch. They stopped talking at once.
"We're from a university far away. We're here for a mission." Li Xiang explained and pointed at their uniforms. "This is our school uniform. Of course, it's different from the ordinary ones."
"No wonder. You're a university student. I remember Gongsi-sama said that once the Shrine is stabilized, he will send me to school. Looking at the time, I should be a university student in a few years … "Little Witch's face showed a hint of disappointment, but she quickly regained her composure." That's right, what are you doing here? What mission are you on? There are only wandering ghosts here. There are no other living people. "
"It's like this …" Li Xiang briefly explained what happened between Willis and Cullen. Then, he asked, "How did you get chained up? Why don't you leave? "
Hearing that, Little Witch nodded her head thoughtfully. Hearing his question, a bitter smile appeared on her little face.
The moment she smiled, Li Xiang felt a sense of familiarity.
"I — I was chained up here by Lord Miyagi. She said that she had to leave for a while. During that time, I have to wait here. I can't leave at will." Little Witch pouted. She was unhappy, but there was nothing she could do. "I feel like I've been waiting for a long, long time."
"Well …" Li Xiang wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. Lord Miyagi was the highest-ranking member of the Sakura Shrine. If he remembered correctly, the Sakura Shrine had ceased to exist decades ago. Little Witch had waited for decades?
Moreover, from the current literature, the Lord Gong Si who left was probably no longer in this world. However, with such a terrifying amount of information being instilled into her, it would definitely scare her. He hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
"Oh, by the way, I don't know much about the friend you were talking about. Alas, I think it has something to do with the ghosts here. I've noticed that many new faces have appeared here recently. The number of ghosts has indeed increased significantly. " Little Witch looked troubled. She counted with her fingers. "The ghosts are suppressed by the Ghost Soldiers. Now that the Ghost Soldiers are out of control, they might be able to escape and harm people."
"Why did the Forgotten Town become like this?" Ise Shizuko could not help but ask. She felt that this Little Witch was too strange. The Sakura Shrine had been ruined, and the town had become a dead town. She was the only living person left. Did she not find it strange?
If this place had been like this before Lord Miyagi left, would she not be afraid?
If it had gradually changed after she left, it was impossible that she did not know the cause and effect. Moreover, this was not the Sakura Shrine. It was obviously a small island in the Dead Sea.
They were here to search for the Calamity.
Ise Shizuko glanced at Little Witch. She wanted to find some clues from her. However, she regretfully found that she was indeed a living human.
The smell of a person's body could not be concealed.
"Ah, that's what I'm confused about. Actually, you might not believe me if I tell you this, but I felt that Lord Gong Si had just left not long ago, and as soon as he woke up, the shrine had already become like this, and the town had also become a mess … I knew that something was wrong, but for some reason, as time passed, I got used to it. "Little Witch patted her head and sighed.
When she first saw it, she was indeed frightened.
"Do you mind if we go inside the shrine to take a look?" Li Xiang suddenly asked.
Little Witch shook her head. "Go ahead. It's fine."
The two of them nodded and followed her into the shrine's main hall.
Li Xiang looked around. He was even more certain that these buildings were heavily damaged. It seemed like they had been here for decades. There was nothing intact in them.
Little Witch blushed. She was embarrassed as if someone had suddenly visited her dirty house.
"Ah … I'm a little sleepy. I want to sleep." Little Witch yawned. Suddenly, she leaned against Li Xiang and fell asleep.
"Hello?" Li Xiang was shocked. Her soft body was transmitted to his touch through the thin witch uniform. It was so cold that it was a little creepy.
Ise Shizuko was also shocked by her sudden sleepiness. She looked at Li Xiang and shook her a few times. There was no reaction at all.
"What's wrong with this fellow?" A bad feeling rose in her heart. Ise Shizuko subconsciously distanced herself from them. If she had not saved them from the ghosts, she would not be at ease.
"Wake up. Even if you want to sleep, you can't just lie on the ground like this." Li Xiang smiled bitterly. He shook her a few times. Little Witch finally opened her eyes in a daze. She looked at him in a daze.
"Ugh … I'm so sleepy." She stretched and rubbed her eyes. She struggled to get up from Li Xiang's arms and walked toward the shrine. She said in a daze, "I, I want to sleep … You guys, hurry up and leave. Otherwise, when night comes …"
As she spoke, she almost stumbled and fell.
Li Xiang quickly ran to support her. A thought flashed through his mind. He pinched her soft little face hard. "Oh right, what's the name of that Gongsi-sama? After we get out, we might be able to help you find him. "
Hearing Gongsi-sama, Little Witch, who was about to fall asleep, opened her eyes again. She looked confused. After a while, she said in a daze.
"Gongsi-sama, Gongsi-sama's name is Dong Ling ai."
Dong Ling ai?
Dong Ling was not a common surname. In the Seven Continents, only that family dared to call themselves with this surname.
Li Xiang turned back to look at Ise Shizuko. However, he realized that she had retreated far away. She was already out of Torii. Under the hazy moonlight, her body seemed to be trembling slightly.
He looked again. Little Witch in his arms had fallen asleep again. He could only find a cleaner place to put her down. He left the shrine's main hall quietly.
This place was so dilapidated. How could anyone live here?
However, the touch from his body could not be fake. Now, Li Xiang could easily distinguish between humans, mutants, and calamities. He had a unique sense of smell, so he would not be wrong.
And this Little Witch was always exuding the scent of a human. That was why he approached her without hesitation.
The ability to distinguish scents was much better than the ability to see.
However, there was nothing in the shrine. He had just confirmed that there was no food or water except for ruins.
Even the best players could not escape from eating, drinking, and going to the toilet. How did she survive here?
A gentle breeze blew past.
This time, it was not like he did not gain anything. At least he knew that Gongsi-sama's name was Dong Ling ai. He could check it out when he went out.
He got up and looked back at Little Witch who was lying quietly. For some reason, every time she smiled sweetly, Li Xiang felt that she was particularly familiar.
At this moment, when he looked back, he suddenly had a strange feeling.
"Did I grow a little?" Li Xiang rubbed his eyes. He did not go closer to look. What's wrong with me?
I'm not a lolicon, so why am I having such strange thoughts?
He saw Shizuko waving at him vigorously. He responded and quickly walked toward the torii. When he got close to the torii, he could not help but look back at Little Witch.
This time, he felt it more clearly.
Little Witch's black hair had grown longer, and her body had become fuller. After all, he had been intimate with her earlier, so he was very familiar with the size of some parts of her body. At this moment, the small witch costume could barely cover them.
"I must be crazy …" Li Xiang patted his head hard and walked out of the torii. The moment he stepped out, he suddenly felt suffocated.
The inside was completely different from the outside.
The cold wind whistled. He looked around and saw a few spots of dark green light shining.
Those were the skeleton soldiers that were hiding around.
Just like what Little Witch had said, as the ghostly soldiers who guarded the Shrine after their deaths, even if they had lost control, they would not attack the Shrine. Although they had a strong enmity towards the two of them who had come out of the Shrine, their instincts told them not to attack.
This was out of respect for the Sakura Shrine.
Li Xiang looked back one last time. He was shocked to see that the torii was covered by thick black fog. He could no longer see what was inside.
In the shrine's main hall, Little Witch, who was lying on the ground, slowly opened her eyes. The iron chain on her right leg tightened wildly as if it was trying to pull the wind chime on the thick hemp rope. However, no matter how she shook it, the wind chime would not budge.
Little Witch stretched. The witch costume on her tore and fell apart. Her growing body could not cover it at all. Her pinkish-white flesh was gradually exposed to the air.
She had grown up as well. She looked more mature and charming.
Her black hair was especially obvious. When her body grew completely, her black hair spread all over the ground.
The charm of a young woman was very strong.
The witch reached out and pulled on the throbbing iron chain. With a gentle tug, the binding circle came off automatically.
At that moment, the countless skeleton soldiers lurking in the surroundings creaked, and the ghosts howled crazily as if they had lost their minds.
"Hey, what's your name?"
A slightly hoarse but extremely pleasant and sexy voice came from the shrine.
Li Xiang and Ise Shizuko were stunned at the same time. They felt as if their souls were being hooked out of their bodies.
That voice belonged to Little Witch. However, her voice was much more mature.
His heart was itching. A voice was urging him to answer her and respond to her. However, because of the change in her voice and the doubt in his heart, Li Xiang immediately shut his mouth.
The dark golden aura that had been dormant in his body suddenly awakened.
Little Witch's voice in his mind suddenly shattered.
"I … I'm Ise Shizuko." Shizuko's eyes were blurred. As she spoke, she walked toward the torii again.
"Ah, hello, Shizuko. I'm Sakura."
