Gu Du seemed to be convinced.

Seeing his friend like this, Crimson also dispelled his doubts.

Who would have thought that when she turned the door handle, she found that she couldn't turn it at all.

As expected, just like other places, there are prerequisites for opening the door.

Thinking of this, Shenhong raised the camera, took a step back, and pressed the shutter button towards the door.

There was nothing unusual in the photo, and Shenhong couldn't help feeling disappointed.

"Perhaps there's a lock or a sealing charm behind the door?" Gudu kicked the door several times and turned his gaze to Xiao Wuhui. "Is there another way to the Zashiki Prison?"

"Yes, it is, but..." Xiao Wuhui grabbed the door handle and twisted it a few times. "It wasn't locked before. Someone must have locked it from behind."

"When do you mean before?" Zhiyao asked casually.

"Just a few hours before you came in."

It was like watching a horror movie and the ghost on the screen suddenly shifted its gaze to Zhiyao outside the screen. Fear immediately appeared in Zhiyao's eyes and her body felt cold to the bone.

"Could it be...could it be Kirie? She knew we were going to use the red film against her, so she came to stop us... Maybe she's behind the door right now..."

"Wuhui isn't in there." Little Wuhui quickly held his face to dispel his fear and explained, "Evil Wuhui is my clone. We can sense each other within a certain range."

Hearing Xiao Wuhui say this, Zhiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Evil Wuhui said you are her clone." Zhiyao teased with great interest, poking little Wuhui's chubby face.

"She is the clone, and I am the main body." Xiao Wuhui retorted.

"But you said she is your true appearance. I think she is more like the main body."

"I am the main body, and she is nothing but a collection of evil thoughts." Xiao Wuhui argued stubbornly with an indignant tone.

"Indeed, you are more like the subject." Zhiyao immediately agreed.

Zhiyao, who was teasing her in the previous sentence, started to agree with her in the next sentence. Although she could use Kandu to find out the reason for this, Xiao Wuhui still chose to ask in person.

"why?"

"Because Wuhui is my wife, the one who likes me is naturally the main one. Someone like the evil Wuhui who likes someone else can only be a clone, hehe."

Such brazen words made Shenhong and Gudu ashamed.

"I didn't agree to be your wife." Xiao Wuhui stuck out her tongue and turned away quickly.

Seizing this opportunity, Zhiyao kissed the defenseless side of her face, and his soft lips burned on her cheek. Xiao Wuhui was suddenly stunned, and then, with shock and resentment, she reached out to pinch Zhiyao's face.

"Boom!"

Something fell on the floor behind her, diverting her attention. She and the others looked towards the source of the sound and found that the closet door had been opened. Under the closet, the first-born girl was lying on the floor motionless.

How can you fall to the ground when you get out of the closet? Can you not be so cute?

Zhiyao was speechless and worried about her shaky head from the bottom of her heart.

The ancient general stepped forward and carefully helped the girl up. He asked the people around him, "What was her name? It seemed to be Yuzi?"

After receiving a positive answer, Gudu helped Yuzi to the wall and guided her to sit down slowly.

"Didn't I tell you not to come out for the time being?" Zhiyao sighed. "The tape can only be fixed temporarily. Are you really not going to take your head back?"

Seeing Yuzi shift her gaze towards her, Xiao Wuhui seemed to understand something and immediately leaned over. After a few seconds, she turned back and said to everyone, "She said that a woman holding her belly went in through here before. She must have locked the door."

"Holding her stomach?" Shen Hong vaguely thought of something. "Could it be the female evil spirit that was stabbed in the stomach before?"

"It's possible." Gu Du guessed.

Since there was someone inside, everyone started knocking on the door, shouting as they knocked.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they knocked, there was no sound from inside the door, so everyone suspected that the female evil spirit had died from her injuries inside.

Just when I was about to give up, the door finally opened a crack.

Shenhong looked through the crack in the door and saw the female evil spirit from before.

"Yes...you guys?"

"We'll go in and get some things and leave. Don't worry, we won't hurt you." Zhiyao took two steps back, put his hands together, and gave a sincere reassurance.

The female evil spirit thought about it and decided to open the door. After the door was opened, she made way for herself, then walked to the corner of the piano room, covered her stomach, lay down on her side, and curled up.

Seeing that pitiful look, Zhiyao couldn't help but feel sad.

"Are you okay?" Zhiyao asked, stepping forward and squatting down.

"It's okay. The wound hurts a little, but I won't die." The female evil spirit forced out a smile with a slight raise of the corner of her mouth.

"I'm glad you're not dying." Zhiyao finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Can you walk now?"

"If you go slow, it won't be a problem."

"Okay then, you and Yuzi should go to Guikou. When you get there, go find Munakata Yae directly. She will be responsible for taking care of you two. The specific location is..." Zhiyao then described the route in as much detail as possible, and then sternly instructed, "After walking through the corridor, there is a mine outside. You have to climb down the escalator on the side. Please be sure to pay attention to safety. Also, make sure to keep an eye on Yuzi and don't let her fall, otherwise her head will definitely be in danger."

Nodding slightly, the female evil spirit slowly stood up and soon left with Yuzi.

Zhiyao then returned to his companions and entered the room where the prison was located. He saw a lattice fence dividing the house into two parts, and the image of Wuhui sitting quietly inside emerged in his mind.

Wuhui lived in this prison of less than ten square meters for a full ten years. When Zhiyao came here in person, her feelings were indescribable.

I wanted to leave quickly, but I never expected someone to ask questions.

"What is this place for?" The questioner was Crimson.

"This is where I used to live," Xiao Wuhui said indifferently, as if describing a trivial matter. "The Rope Shrine Maidens were imprisoned here from the age of seven until they turned seventeen, when they could be released to perform rituals."

"Uh, that's too..."

Like Zhiyao, Shenhong and Gudu were shocked after learning the news, and they looked at Xiao Wuhui with more pity.

Xiao Wuhui, on the other hand, didn't care at all. After she finished speaking, she opened the cell door and went into the cell. She first took away the stained cushion, then uncovered the palm-sized wooden block covered by the cushion, and finally took out a stack of red films from it. Zhiyao took it and counted them. There were exactly ten films, no more, no less.

"With this, I can deal with Wuhui." Having witnessed its power before, Gu Du is now full of confidence.

"It's better to use it sparingly." Shenhong put the precious weapon into the interlayer of the portable bag.

"That's right." Zhiyao agreed, "Besides Wuhui, we also have to deal with the armored warriors."

"Why deal with him?" Gu Du was puzzled, and inexplicably thought of something, "Wait, could it be..."

"Yes, there is a piece of the divine mirror fragment on the armored warrior." Xiao Wuhui said.

"This... no way..." Gudu's scalp suddenly felt numb. She had never expected that besides Wuhui, she would have to deal with another difficult enemy.

"Well, there's something I have to tell you two."

Zhiyao's serious voice came from the side, thinking that there was something important to say, Shenhong and Gudu looked at him at the same time.

"There's actually another way to deal with Wu Hui. I haven't told you before, but I think now's the time..."

Later, Zhiyao told Xiao Wuhui the plan she had mentioned before, and also revealed where the last fragment of the Divine Mirror was.

When he finished speaking, Crimson and Gudu fell silent.

"Does that mean we should smash the camera?" After a long time, Shenhong asked first.

"Yes, although Xiao Wuhui's plan doesn't require that, and Xiao Wuhui also said that she will be fine, but I don't dare to take the risk, so I firmly disagree with her plan."

"I'm the same as you." Crimson answered without any hesitation.

Zhiyao likes Xiao Wuhui and naturally doesn't want her to make any mistakes. Shenhong, who also has someone she likes, can of course understand his feelings and really can't bear to involve Xiao Wuhui in unknown risks.

"I have no objection either." Gu Du followed suit.

With this, the matter came to an end.

"Well, I think you should..." Xiao Wuhui tried to persuade everyone to change their minds.

However, he was interrupted rudely by Zhiyao just as he opened his mouth.

"No, I won't allow it."

Xiao Wuhui wanted to say something, but was met with Zhiyao's unquestionable gaze. After feeling the determination in his gaze, Xiao Wuhui stopped talking.

Chapter 56: [Lord of the Himuro Residence]

The fourth fragment of the Divine Mirror is in the Moon Shrine.

After leaving the zashiki-ko, the three of them came to the courtyard with cherry trees. Strangely enough, they had been to the courtyard several times before. Although the Moon Shrine was right in the courtyard, no one had ever thought of going in to take a look.

Then, regarding whether the opening will be smooth, Crimson expressed pessimism.

intuition.

And things turned out just as she expected.

The ancestral hall's door was equipped with a large, mechanical lock, appearing far more complex than the previous one. Zhiyao tactfully stepped aside, leaving the task of solving the mystery to Shenhong and Gudu, while she fetched her cigarette case and lighter.

"Smoke less, Sikong." Shenhong glanced over here and reminded casually.

"Don't act like you don't care about anything." Gudu walked quickly to Zhiyao and grabbed his arm. "Even if you're the captain, don't always push things onto others. Use your brain."

Gu Du dragged Zhiyao as he spoke, and Zhiyao was dragged back to the door of the ancestral hall.

"Then let me try it first?" Zhiyao said.

"Grandson, let me help you." Xiao Wuhui crawled out of the body and jumped to the ground.

Zhiyao's expression was as if he had eaten a cockroach while eating.

"It's not over yet, is it?"

Shenhong and Gudu both turned their faces away at the same time, trying their best not to laugh out loud.

No matter how complicated the puzzle is, it can't withstand the brainstorming of everyone. With the concerted efforts of three people and one spirit, after only five minutes, the lock disk made a clicking sound. However, strangely, the lock disk did not fall off. Zhiyao tried to bend it, but it was still fixed there.

Shenhong raised the camera without saying a word, and the lens turned dark blue as he raised it.

The shutter button was pressed, and as the flash went out, the photo of the large Buddha statue came into everyone's sight.

"It's the Buddha statue in the lord's ancestral hall." Gu Du recognized it at a glance.

"Let's go." Zhiyao immediately turned around and led the two forward.

But just as I turned to the back, I heard some movement in the puppet room. The sound was a bit like a revolving door being pushed open.

In Himuro's residence, anyone who encountered someone was either completely destroyed or killed, so...

An evil spirit I've never seen before, or perhaps, an evil mist? !

As if he had been electrocuted, all the hairs on Zhiyao's body stood up. He looked around as fast as he could, and then rushed to the railing of the corridor in a hurry, squatted down, turned sideways and crawled to the ground.

Seeing his frightened look, Shenhong and Gudu also felt as if they were facing a great enemy and followed his instructions.

The next moment, the door of the puppet room opened as expected, and footsteps were heard in the corridor.

The floor of the corridor was three steps higher than the ground of the courtyard. The floor was hollow underneath, and the space was just enough for a child to crawl in. Although the three people present could not crawl in due to their size, the position they were crawling in was also in the blind spot, so they were very fortunate not to be seen.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and when they disappeared, the three of them got up one after another.

"That guy... I seem to have seen him somewhere before?" Zhiyao muttered to herself, feeling inexplicably familiar.

"That was Himuro Shibafune, the lord of Himuro's residence," Kogure said. "He went mad after inhaling the Yellow Springs miasma and then massacred everyone in Himuro's residence."

Upon hearing this, the two girls' bodies trembled at the same time, as if several ice needles were piercing their spines.

They finally uncovered the mystery of the legend and discovered the truth - everyone in the Himuro residence disappeared overnight.

"He committed a great deal of murder during his lifetime, and now it seems that he has become an extremely powerful evil spirit after his death. Unless it is necessary, I do not recommend you to provoke him." Xiao Wuhui changed to a serious tone and warned earnestly.

"I'm afraid it's beyond our control." Looking in the direction the lord left, Shen Hong half-closed his eyes, his brows knitted together, "I just noticed something glowing in his pocket."

"Could it be..." The thought was horrifying and Gudu swallowed his saliva.

"Yes, it's the fragment of the Imperial Divine Mirror."

Faced with the unexpected situation, even Xiao Wuhui was shocked.

"No way?"
