[Suddenly, an invisible hand touches your shoulder and forcibly drags you to a dark corner of the hall. 】

[You were startled. Just as you were about to raise the ‘knowledge grating’ to protect yourself, you saw a graceful figure appear in the darkness. 】

[The beautiful shadow gradually turns from blurry to clear, and the person coming is none other than ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’! 】

[It is dressed in a shrine maiden costume with white and scarlet hakama, and the embroidered pattern of 'Hashira God' on its chest has become the unique symbol of 'Tenmei Shrine' - a ball of pitch-black flames.]

[‘Yuecheng Ziye’ looked very haggard, as if it had not had enough sleep for a long time. It looked nervous and asked in a low voice, why are you here, my dear benefactor? 】

[It raises its index finger to its lips to signal you to answer softly.]

[I don’t know if it’s your imagination, but you actually read a hint of fear in its expression.]

[You can only answer it in the same soft voice, claiming that you happened to come to Kyoto, and heard its master say that it serves Yama in the ‘Tenmei Shrine’, and came here specifically to see how it is doing recently. 】

[But I saw 'Yuecheng Ziye' shaking his head and saying, you are its savior. You and the master risked your lives to save it, so that it could escape from the clutches of 'Slippery Ghost'...]

[It should have repaid you well, but now... benefactor, you'd better stay away from here as soon as possible. 】

[You can’t help but wonder about the cause and effect. ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ doesn’t seem to want to involve you in it, and keeps urging you to leave the shrine. It’s best to leave Kyoto, or even Sakuraluo. The farther you go, the better. 】

【Are you going to follow the advice of ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’? 】

Lin Xun raised his eyebrows, understanding that Senior Sister's "undercover operation" in Tianming Shrine must have yielded something.

Now it is obvious that the follow-up plot has started, and it would be a shame to give up.

[You know that ‘Yuecheng Ziye’ is using another way to repay kindness and advise you to stay away from danger, but what you like most is to solve danger. 】

[You take out the 'Dragon Sword Masamune' and tell it that the 'Ninja Master' gave you the sword before it came here and asked you to perform the responsibilities of the master. Now that you see it is in danger, how can you ignore it? ]

[If you can save it once, you can definitely save it a second time!]

[‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ looked at the magic weapon in your hand and hesitated for a long time before revealing the truth...]

[There was a hint of fear in its eyes, and it said slowly, the people in the ‘Tianming Shrine’ are probably no longer human beings...]

[It followed its master’s instructions and came to the ‘Tenmei Shrine’ to continue being a shrine maiden. Everything went smoothly. The Shrine Master just looked at it and nodded in agreement for it to join the ‘Tenmei Shrine’. 】

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! [The job of a miko is very boring, and it actually doesn't like this position because of its cheerful nature. Compared with the miko, it prefers to be an unfettered ninja and do whatever it wants.

Wandering in the shadows of the night...]

[Making friends with other clergy is undoubtedly the best remedy for a boring life.]

[It took the initiative to talk to other witches, but what it got in return was a very strange indifference. Not only one witch, but every person in the shrine, from you to the official, was like this. 】

[It has been at the Tenmei Shrine for some time, but it has never seen any clergyman show any other expression. It always has that weird indifference. 】

[It seems that none of them are human beings, but rather soulless puppets. 】

[It felt more and more that something was wrong with the ‘Tenmei Shrine’… until one day, it woke up in the middle of the night because of a nightmare. 】

[In the dream, all the clergy of the ‘Tenming Shrine’ were worshiping fervently in front of a terrifying and evil god in the temple... That was definitely not the ‘Canggu Tianyan’! 】

[After it woke up, it couldn't fall asleep for a long time. It only felt that the situation in the nightmare was extremely real. It got up and left the dormitory in a trance, and went to the residence of other clergymen. 】

[As a result, it was horrified to find that the dormitories were empty, and all the clergy who were supposed to be sleeping were missing. 】

[At that time, it had only one thought in its mind. Could it be that all the scenes in the dream were real? Late at night, every clergyman except it was worshiping enthusiastically in the temple? 】

[The divine power of the shrine has the effect of revealing and breaking the invisible, but as an orthodox witch, it is naturally not affected by this power. 】

[Before it used its escape technique to come to the main hall, it saw that the main door of the main hall was closed tightly and was blocked by a jade wall, making it impossible to enter. 】

[However, the candles in this temple remain on all night, and the dense black figures projected on the window paper tell it that all the clergy are in this temple at this time.]

[As the figures rise and fall together, it knows that whether it is the palace minister, Mi Yi, or the palace palm and the witch Zhu Bu, they are all worshiping...]

[It gritted its teeth and maintained its escape skills, waiting for those ‘people’ to complete the worship ceremony. 】

[I don’t know how long it took, but the worship ceremony ended. The door of the palace opened, and the palace minister was the first to walk out. 】

[For the first time, it saw the Lord Palace Master smiling, no, it was all the clergy smiling. 】

[The eyes were wide-eyed, and the smile that almost reached the corners of the mouth was abnormally twisted, with unspeakable malice. It was simply not an expression that normal humans could make. 】

[At the moment when the main door of the main hall was opened, it saw a twisted and evil terrifying shadow deep in the main hall through the gap in the door...]

[In an instant, it lost consciousness and passed out.]

[It was the next morning when I woke up again, and it was lying on its bed in the dormitory.]

[After getting up and leaving the dormitory, every clergyman's face returned to his usual indifferent expression. No one asked about what happened last night, as if it was an absurd nightmare. ]

[But it knew it was not a dream, because it would not dare to sleep every day from now on...]

[Every late night, everyone will leave the dormitory together to complete the terrifying and fanatical worship ceremony. 】

[It was the only one hugging the pillow tightly and staying in the dormitory waiting for dawn. 】

【……】

[After ‘Yuecheng Ziye’ told the whole story, she finally regained some of her energy, and the haggard look on her face softened a bit. 】

[You didn’t ask stupid questions like why it didn’t escape from the palace, but gently patted its shoulder to show comfort.]

[‘Yuecheng Ziye’ looks at you and persuades you again, benefactor, you should go down the mountain as soon as possible... Also, you must not tell these things to the master. 】

[Its eyes are full of pleading, obviously it doesn’t want you and the ‘Ninja Master’ to be in danger again. 】

[It is very clear that this crisis may affect the entire Kyoto, and even the entire Sakura Fall, and it is no longer humanly possible to resist it. 】

[I am afraid that the only way to survive is to hide away from the "Ukai Island" far away from Sakura, or escape to a foreign country far away in the west. 】

【Are you going to follow the advice of ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’? 】

According to the senior sister's description, the shadow that is worshiped by everyone in this temple is absolutely inseparable from the 'extremely evil consequences'.

But with his strength, can he deal with that terrifying unknown shadow?

Lin Xun rubbed his eyebrows.
