In a place like Himuro's residence, if there is no exorcism camera, it seems that the best strategy is to stay with Kirie.
Forget it, let’s not run around for now and wait for Wuhui to come back.
Just as I decided to continue waiting for Wuhui, Wuhui began to slowly appear in the air, from thin to thick, from transparent to clear, and finally stood behind Hinasaki Mafuyu about three or two meters away.
Chapter 63: [Searching for Runes, Targeting the Moon Well]
At the same time, Mafuyu noticed something strange behind her, turned around, and seeing it was Kirie, she shone the flashlight at her and walked over.
The two looked at each other in silence.
In fact, Wuhui doesn’t like to talk much, and neither does little Wuhui. The reason is that they spend too much time alone, so long that they are almost suffering from aphasia.
Unless someone else talks to them, they basically won't take the initiative to talk to others. Hinasaki Manfuyu just happens to be the introverted and quiet type, which led to the current situation.
After a while, Wuhui lifted her long hair that was covering her face and smiled, a rare moment.
Everyone is fine, that's good.
Wuhui chose to cease fire just now because a certain evil spirit proposed to take Hinasaki Mafuyu as a hostage to force Zhiyao and others to submit. Wuhui naturally could not agree to such a proposal, but she suddenly began to worry about Mafuyu's safety, so she rushed back to check.
She was relieved that he was fine now, but Manfuyu had already woken up, and she couldn't continue to let him wander around.
Especially he must not be allowed to encounter those humans.
If they meet, those people will forcibly take Manfuyu away, and he will be alone again.
Even though Asanuma Ha had already completed his reincarnation, even though his name in this life was Hinasaki Mafuyu, Himuro Kirie didn't care. Mafuyu had Asanuma's aura and his face was exactly the same. To her, he was Asanuma Ha reincarnated. She had been too weak in her life, but now she had gained great power, and finally she no longer had to face the loss of her lover helplessly.
From now on, no one can hurt him, and no one can take him away from him, not his sister-in-law and rival Hinasaki Shinku, nor Sikong Zhiyao who likes to use his clone as well as his original body.
We have to find a more secluded place to hide the person.
With this in mind, Kirie decided to follow her clone's example and hide her in the hidden kingdom. Then, as Kirie grasped Mafuyu's wrist, Mafuyu felt a change in the spacetime around her. Shining a flashlight around her, he discovered that the rotating wooden stakes and stone discs had vanished. Beyond that, every corner of his field of vision was filled with endless darkness. And then, for the first time in his life, he heard Kirie speak to him.
"It's safe here. Please wait here patiently. I'll take you out later."
After saying that, Kirie left quickly without waiting for Manfuyu to answer. Manfuyu wandered in this space for a while, but couldn't find the exit. Finally, she had to sit down and wait quietly. Over time, all kinds of things that happened in Kirie's life unconsciously emerged in her mind.
……
Pushing open the door in the collapsed house, there is a corridor leading to the ghost's mouth in front of you.
"First walk in a straight line to the end, then push open the door, and then walk through a long corridor like this to reach the ghost mouth. There will be someone there to play with you." Pointing to the end, Zhiyao said to Xiaomei and her friends.
"Oh." Xiaomei blinked in confusion, then turned to Zhiyao and took his hand, "Brother, won't you go with us?"
"No, I just left there." Zhiyao pulled out his hand, put it on her head and rubbed it gently.
"But I still want to be with you."
"No, it's not allowed."
Everything else is easy to negotiate, but I will never compromise on this matter.
"Woo woo woo." Xiaomei pouted her little mouth and made a muffled murmur.
"Mei, listen to him." Xiao Wuhui also advised.
Unable to resist, Xiaomei finally had to leave with her friends. Zhiyao and others stood there and watched them go until they had arrived at their destination according to the time, and then they all turned around and returned to the cherry tree courtyard.
Next, I will challenge the armored warrior.
There's one more thing before that.
As Zhiyao's gaze shifted to the Moon Shrine, Shenhong immediately understood and placed the parts in Zhiyao's palm. As the lock disk was removed, the door of the shrine opened, and the altar in the middle of the house came into view for everyone.
Below is the Moon Well, Zhiyao thought.
"Down below is the Moon Well." Xiao Wuhui said, and then turned to Zhiyao. The two looked at each other, and then each of them smiled knowingly.
Shenhong stared at the cabinet on the altar and walked forward to open the door without saying a word.
Inside was a notebook. The pages had turned yellow with age, but since it had been kept in the cabinet, it wasn't dusty at all.
Carefully opening the title page, Shenhong began to read quickly with the help of the flashlight and soon finished the last page.
"This is my great-grandfather's manuscript," Crimson said, putting the notebook into his bag. "It contains instructions for reaching the Moon Well. We need to move this altar first."
"To remove it, you need the seals of four priests and the certificate of the lord." Xiao Wuhui explained.
"Is this the proof of the lord?" Gudu took out the evil ghost mask.
When she left the lord's shrine, she thought this thing might be useful and put it in her bag. Now seeing Xiao Wuhui nod, she was happy from the bottom of her heart.
"What should we do with the mark?" Suzuka asked.
"Well... the book doesn't have a detailed record of what the mark looks like. It only mentions that the mark is kept closely by four priests. However, the Himuro family has long since disappeared..." Shen Hong said with regret.
"Is it a rune or a palm print?" Zhiyao asked Xiao Wuhui.
He originally wanted to add, "Don't tell me it's a fingerprint," but later even he thought it was ridiculous so he gave up.
"It's a part with runes printed on it, the same thing as a lock."
As soon as Xiao Wuhui finished speaking, the camera lens glowed blue. Shenhong quickly raised the camera to locate the strongest sensor. After circling the altar, Shenhong snapped four photos in succession. Each showed the same scene: a stone tablet surrounded by stone and carved with a unique pattern. Xiao Wuhui took the photos, examined them one by one, and recognized the specific location of each one at a glance.
"Let's go." Holding his wife's hand, Zhiyao calmly gave the order.
I didn't hold her because my right arm couldn't exert much strength, and it would be a bit difficult to hold seven-year-old Wuhui with just my left arm.
……
The first stone tablet is in the cherry tree courtyard, on the far right side near the blind spot of the mansion.
As soon as they approached the stone tablet, a voice of unknown chanting was heard in the air. When the voice died down, the ghost of the priest resolutely appeared on the side of the stone tablet. Zhiyao wanted to try to communicate, but the priest raised his staff and smashed it on his head without saying a word, so that Zhiyao was almost hit on the head. Then the priest disappeared, and a loud reminder from the ancient capital came from behind.
When Zhiyao turned around, she noticed that the disappeared priest appeared on the other side of the courtyard, accompanied by several small blue fireballs.
It seems that there is no need for communication. Zhiyao sighed helplessly and took out Chu Yeshi's knife.
"Let's go and kill him together."
The priest was not as powerful as Himuro Shibafu. Although everyone was fooled by the space teleportation at the beginning, it was just a trick in front of the old monster Suzuka who had rich combat experience. After about seven or eight times, Suzuka calculated the cooling time required after each teleportation and conveyed the information to everyone.
"I'll stop him, annoying fly." Gu Du was majestic and full of fighting spirit. If it were a comic, you could see the fire burning in his eyes. "The fireball is in your hands."
"I'll take care of the left side," Suzuka declared confidently, gripping the hilt of the sword with both hands, ready to split the incoming fireball in half at any moment.
"Leave the right side to me." Shenhong followed silently, glancing left and right from time to time.
Only Zhiyao didn't say anything, and there was no need for him to say anything. He knew in his heart that there was only one thing he needed to do. After successfully restraining Gudu, he would go up and stab him to death, trying to kill him with one blow.
After about three to five minutes, with the concerted efforts of everyone, the golden-glowing spirit stone knife successfully pierced the target's heart, causing the priest to stumble back several steps. His eyes, hidden behind the mask, stared at the knife piercing his heart, and then he fell limply to the ground and disappeared. The place where he disappeared happened to have a part with a special rune printed on it.
After picking up the parts and putting them into the portable bag, everyone rushed to the next target location, another courtyard outside the lord's shrine.
Just like last time, this time it was resolved by fighting, no one was injured, and it didn't even take much effort. After that, the invincible five-man team successfully obtained the third rune behind the fish pond, at the place where Sadako and Hirasakaba had fought before.
Finally, there is only one piece left, and the location of the last piece is...
The abyss of demons.
"Well."
With his eyes fixed on the stone tablet in the photo, Zhiyao rubbed his temples, feeling vaguely embarrassed.
The others all knew what the cause was, and they all kept silent. Shenhong even took out the red film and switched it in advance.
"Let's deal with both of them at once." Crimson breathed a sigh of relief. "For a guy like the one just now, maybe just one red film can take care of it."
Gudu expressed his concern about this, "There are only eight left in total. Do we really want to waste them on a guy like that?"
"How about I hold the armored warrior back first?" Suzuka volunteered. "Even though I'm not sure how strong the demon is, I'm still confident in my swordsmanship."
Zhiyao didn't listen to the above. He was holding the photo in one hand and tapping it repeatedly with the knuckles of the index finger of the other hand, with a thoughtful expression.
"Hurry up and make a decision." Xiao Wuhui tugged at his sleeve.
"Um... ah?"
Zhiyao suddenly came back to her senses, as if she had just woken up from a dream. Seeing that everyone was staring at her, she squatted down and gently pressed the tip of Xiao Wuhui's nose with the tip of her index finger. "Baby, where can I find the rope?"
"Rope?" Xiao Wuhui was confused.
"The Himuro family holds the Rope-Splitting Ceremony regularly, so they should have a surplus. Even though this place has been abandoned for so many years, the rope... should still be usable."
"Sikong, are you ready to..." Gudu vaguely thought of something.
"Setting a trap?" Suzuka, with her experience, reacted faster. "Setting to separate those two?"
"Of course, hehe." Zhiyao responded as a matter of course, "The red film should be used sparingly, and those two naturally have to be dealt with separately, so I plan to deal with the armored warrior first."
Next, Zhiyao described the plan in detail to several people.
Chapter 64: [The End of the Armored Warrior]
Led by Kogure, everyone came to Naruto Shrine.
I met Wuhui in this place before. When I entered the ancestral hall, Gudu looked around with lingering fear, wondering whether I should stand outside the door to deal with emergencies.
"Kirie is not around." Guessing what she was worried about, Kirie comforted her.
"Wuhui said she would wait at the Abyss of the End. From what I know about the plot, the story does end there." Zhiyao added, "So it's not a big problem, don't worry."
Gu Du obviously didn't understand what this person was saying, and his confusion was evident in his words.
"I'll tell you in detail later." Shenhong patted Gudu's shoulder lightly, then entered the ancestral hall with the others, leaving Gudu standing there in a daze.
After entering the ancestral hall, Xiao Wuhui went straight to the floor-length mirror on the right and pointed at it.
"Behind this."
This meant the mirror could be removed. Shen Hong and the others immediately examined it carefully. After some searching, they carefully lifted the mirror down and set it aside. Then, they noticed a sliding door. Pulling it open, they revealed a neatly coiled rope slightly thicker than a thumb. Zhi Yao, filled with excitement, picked up the rope and walked out without a word.
Not to mention it's a bit heavy.
After leaving the ancestral hall, Zhiyao put the rope on the ground, picked up the rope end and handed it to Gudu, then he let out the line little by little and stretched the distance to calculate the length. After confirming the end, he returned while collecting it.
The length is more than enough, and the rest is just practice and simulation. After all, except Suzuka, the others present are just hothouse flowers, including himself.
A head-on duel is impossible. One-on-one fights in games are forced by the game mechanism. Why should we follow martial ethics in reality?
"This is what I plan to do." Picking up a stone, Zhiyao squatted down, carved a simple topographic map on the ground, and repeated the plan. This time, he added a few stones to represent the enemy and our side present.
Everyone nodded as they listened. Afterward, Suzuka suggested, "Why not make a tripwire? The kind that will trap you by the ankle and send you falling over."
In response, Zhiyao said that he was helpless because he was not well-trained, and asked Suzuka if he could do it. Suzuka said that he didn't know how to do it either, so he obediently picked up the rope and climbed up the tree next to him.
More than ten minutes passed like this, and the drill ended with Zhiyao being hung on the tree like a sunny doll for the fifth time.
Shenhong and others quickly put the man down.
Xiao Wuhui felt distressed when she saw this, and kept walking around her, checking and asking if she was feeling unwell. Zhiyao waved her hand indifferently, then hugged Xiao Wuhui in his arms, enjoying the few remaining intimate moments.
More than ten minutes passed like this, and everyone returned to the cherry tree courtyard and started preparing as planned.
When everything was ready, Zhiyao cut the rope into two, tied one to the leg of the door at the bottom of the Moon Shrine near the entrance to the Abyss of Demons, and then covered the rope on the ground with fallen leaves. Shenhong and others hid in the blind spot on the other side, while Suzuka climbed up the horizontal branch of the cherry tree holding the remaining rope. After Zhiyao repeatedly confirmed with everyone that the preparations were complete, Xiao Wuhui removed the bolt and wire that had previously fixed the door, and stepped into the Abyss of Demons herself to act as bait.
As soon as she stepped into that area, Xiao Wuhui saw a tall and upright figure standing at the end of a stone lantern flame. She took a few steps forward to put herself in the light range, threw a stone in that direction, and then attracted attention as she wished.
In an instant, the armored warrior drew the sword from his waist and rushed towards this side with heavy and powerful steps. The goal had been achieved. Xiao Wuhui immediately turned around and ran at full speed towards the cherry tree courtyard.
……
When passing the exit, Xiao Wuhui knocked on the door gently. Everyone knew that this was a signal, and they immediately became extremely alert. Zhiyao stuck to the corner of the wall and observed the target's position with his peripheral vision.
First, Xiao Wuhui passed by him, and the armored warrior followed closely about five meters behind him. After Xiao Wuhui stepped over the rope on the ground and the armored warrior's body just passed the gate, Shenhong, Gudu, and Zhiyao worked together to straighten the rope on the ground.
The three people pulled at the same time to ensure that the rope was tight enough to successfully trip the armored warrior.
As for the armored warrior, his attention completely focused on Kirie, he hadn't anticipated the rope springing up, and was caught off guard, falling flat on his face. He instinctively glanced behind him, seeing three humans standing there. He hurriedly scrambled to his feet and changed his target, but failed to notice the presence of others overhead, or the noose dropping from the sky. As the noose successfully encircled the armored warrior, Suzuka immediately leaped down from the other side of the branch, using the force of the fall to lift the armored warrior's feet off the ground. Once on the ground, he pulled back with all his might. Meanwhile, Crimson and the others, as they had practiced, immediately came to his aid. Together, they successfully hoisted the armored warrior into the air. Then, Crimson picked up a camera and positioned himself directly beneath the armored warrior, the lens pointed upwards.
The place where Zhiyao asked her to take pictures... Shenhong's face turned red when she first heard it. The reason why she asked her to take pictures there was because Zhiyao firmly believed that the armor could not wrap the body tightly, and there was a high probability that there was no protection directly below that place.
