What era is it? Why are people still writing traditional diaries?

"Just stand here and don't move. Wait for me to sign a temporary contract with the ley lines of this place so that I can borrow power from them."

Having just brushed past the vengeful spirit of Yuko, Hiiragi was already able to roughly judge the opponent's strength.

The resentment in the other party is indeed stronger than hers. If they fight head-on, she is afraid she will not be the opponent's opponent.

After all, under normal circumstances, she currently only has level one strength, and that's quite barely enough.

But it is different from the sorcerer who can exert as much power as the curse power in his body.

Onmyojis can use the spirits and shikigami they summon to strengthen their own strength, while mediums can establish a connection with the earth veins and rely on their own spiritual power to control the power of the local earth veins.

Although this method of borrowing power has many limitations.

Onmyoji needs to sign a contract with the Shikigami, spend resources to maintain the existence of the Shikigami, and there is also the risk of being attacked by the spirit.

Although the psychic medium does not have such high requirements for his own spiritual power, he places more emphasis on perception and the ability to communicate with the earth veins.

As long as powerful psychics do not completely destroy the local earth veins in their own territory at one time, they are almost equivalent to local gods.

However, the more powerful the psychic, the harder it is for him to leave his territory.

Otherwise, the compatibility with the earth veins achieved over a long period of time will decline, and it will take more energy to improve it again.

Of course, since the Hiiragi family now has an older shrine maiden in charge of the shrine, Hiiragi Inori, who is only in her twenties, can naturally run around without worrying about these things.

The only thing she needs to pay attention to is that after borrowing the local spiritual vein, she cannot leave the area directly.

Although the earth veins appear to be just a hub and core that automatically gathers local spiritual power, if you want the other party to contribute spiritual power willingly, you must treat the other party with sincerity.

If you just rely on "sweet words" to borrow the other party's power, and then after using up this power, you leave without caring about the reaction of the earth veins.

The best case scenario is that the local venation points are dissatisfied with the psychic's irresponsible behavior and are unwilling to lend their power to others in the future.

The worse case scenario is that the local earth veins start to get angry, which will have a great impact on the lives of local residents.

Therefore, ever since the Shinto high-level officials developed a method of connecting to the earth veins to borrow power, they have also made a series of restrictions requiring Shinto psychics to ensure that the earth veins they touch do not cause dissatisfaction.

That is to say, after borrowing the power of the earth veins here, she cannot leave here directly for at least a week. She needs to use this week to appease the earth veins until the power of the local earth veins is fully restored before she can leave this place.

If too much spiritual power is borrowed, it will naturally take more time.

"I hope I'll only be on this business trip for a week," Hiiragi thought to herself. At the same time, she took out a magical tool to communicate with the earth veins, sat down near the shrine, and began to establish a connection with the earth veins here.

But as soon as she sat down, she felt a deep resentment from the depths of the earth.

Sure enough, Geng Xizi's soul did sign some kind of contract with the local earth veins before his death, which allowed him to transform into a vengeful spirit and survive until now with the support of the earth veins.

Just ten years ago, when her mother came to investigate, the resentment left by Geng Xizi in the earth veins was not too strong, and even seemed much cleaner than the earth veins in many places.

Therefore, her mother simply prayed and purified the earth veins here before leaving. She also explained in her report to the higher-ups that the vengeful spirits here were not too threatening.

Who would have thought that in just ten years, the vengeful spirit of Geng Xizi had grown to this extent.

And now, it is her turn as a daughter to bear the problems left by her mother.

You can't use too much power, you have to keep some power to restrain those resentments.

After sealing Geng Xizi, it is also necessary to purify the influence that he has had on the earth veins over the years.

Hiiragi thought so in her heart, and then began to try to establish a connection with the remaining spiritual power that was not contaminated by resentment.

But she still had some worries in her heart.

Is this power enough for her to seal Geng Xizi's vengeful spirit?

But she didn't have time to think about these things now.

Because she was still worried about Miyauchi Hikage and the other two who had somehow attracted Geng Xizi's attention outside.

She didn't know how long the other party could hold on, but the earth veins here were influenced by Geng Xizi's vengeful spirit, so it was probably not the type that could be easily connected.

In short, we must speed up now.

Shu Qi put away his unnecessary thoughts, and after reminding Geng Wujiang behind him, he devoted himself to the process of establishing a connection with the earth veins.

The basement, which was originally still somewhat bright, became dim again following Hiiragi's actions.

In this somewhat torturous darkness, Ito Kaiji felt that his attention had never been so focused as it was now.

Although his cell phone couldn't be used, he found that he could accurately judge the time that had passed in the basement based on his heartbeat.

But what's the use of this?

In this state, Ito Kaiji's thinking gradually became clearer.

He had already determined that the vengeful spirit of Geng Xizi had just left from here. He guessed that his boss outside found that he could not contact them, so he made some noise, which alarmed the vengeful spirit of Geng Xizi.

He really hoped that his boss could withstand the pressure from the vengeful spirit, but his boss only knew these things half a month earlier than him, so Mr. Nanami sent Hiiragi to help.

Who could have known that Hiiragi was trapped in the basement of the old school building and unable to get out, and now his boss and the suspected boss's wife are outside. How can he avoid this female ghost?

Ito Kaiji thought pessimistically in his heart.

Just after 8 seconds of the eighth minute since they entered the basement, a noise suddenly came from above the basement.

Along with this noise, Ito Kaiji felt like peeing his pants again.

Could it be that their boss had been killed, and the female ghost had come back to kill them?

In the darkness, he tried to move closer to where Hiiragi was.

But the next moment, as a somewhat dazzling light lit up in the basement, Geng Wujiang couldn't help but exclaimed after seeing the person coming.

"Grandma, why are you here too?"

At this time, Ito Kaiji finally saw the person clearly.

The person who came was indeed Geng Wujiang’s grandmother, Geng Zizi, who was also the chairman of this Chengxue Academy.

When he saw the other person coming and discovered that the flashlight he was holding could still be used, although he had only been in darkness for a few minutes, when Ito Kaiji saw the light again, he couldn't help but feel tearful.

He tried to get his phone out again.

The phone still doesn't work.

If I had known this, I would have brought a flashlight with me.

This kind of modern technological equipment is not as useful as a simple flashlight in this place.

While Ito Kaiji was complaining in his heart about the difficulty of using his cell phone, Geng Wujiang was already walking towards her grandmother's location. As she walked towards the light, she reminded herself not to come down.

After all, my grandmother is over 70 years old this year, and it is too dangerous for her to come to such a place alone.

Besides, Geng Xizi's body is underneath, so there is no need to let his grandmother see such a stimulating scene.

It’s better to take my grandmother upstairs and wait for Miss Hiiragi to wake up.

But just as she was about to walk back to the basement door, Ito Kaiji in the basement suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Has she not said a word since Geng Zizi appeared?

During this month, although Ito Kaiji's performance in front of the camera has always been quite poor, in fact, three or four points of it were deliberately created by him under the guidance of Miyauchi Nikage for the show effect.

In fact, even though he has been a little bit arrogant recently because of the money he has made, the time is still short after all, and he still cherishes the opportunity given to him by Miyauchi Nikage.

When he had nothing to do in the past few weeks, he followed Sakakibara Tsuneichi's recommendation and went to the video store near his home to rent some classic horror DVDs and forced himself to watch them all.

Although he has nightmares every day, he now has some basic awareness in this area.

Geng Zizi could obviously see them in the basement.

No matter how she got here, or whether the room outside was sealed off again, after discovering the traces of Geng Wujiang and the others, she always had to say a few words to ask Geng Wujiang.

She just waved the flashlight a few times in the basement so that those of them in the basement could see what she looked like. This reaction was so weird!

Therefore, after realizing this, Ito Kaiji quickly opened his mouth and reminded Geng Wujiang to be careful.

"what?"

At this time, Geng Wujiang had already walked more than half of the way up the stairs, and was only less than ten steps away from his grandmother.

After hearing Ito Kaiji's reminder, she took two more steps before turning around and looking at Ito Kaiji with some confusion.

Tell her to be more careful?

When Ito Kaiji saw that the other party had stopped, he explained to him what was wrong with Geng Zizi.

"Chairman Geng, if you have no questions, please say a few words to us!"

As he said this, Ito Kaiji took advantage of the light and moved behind Hiiragi Inori.

If this Geng Zizi was really the transformed female ghost of Geng Xizi, then he could at least hold on here for a while longer.

After hearing Ito Kaiji's question, Geng Wujiang couldn't help but tremble in his heart and turned his head to look at the "grandmother" at the door.

As Ito Kaiji exposed the truth, a twisted smile seemed to appear on her grandmother's familiar face.

"I originally wanted to let you feel the pain I went through before I took over your body. I didn't expect your senses to be so sharp..."

As she spoke, Geng Zizi's figure quickly dissolved, and the next moment, the figure that appeared in front of Geng Wujiang turned into the terrifying figure that she had seen in the old school building not long after she entered the school.

Geng Wujiang's feet were a little unsteady. If she hadn't held on to the wall to steady her body, she might have fallen down the stairs.

Listening to the other person's words, she knew that if it weren't for Ito Kaiji's reminder, she would probably have been controlled by Geng Xizi by now.

Realizing this, she instinctively wanted to escape.

But the truth that her grandmother had told her came back to her mind.

Back then, it was indeed her grandmother who stood at the door of this basement and ordered those ignorant villagers to break Geng Xizi's grandmother's legs and throw her into the basement to sacrifice her to the so-called gods.

For the past sixty years, her grandmother has always wanted to atone for her sins to the grandmother Geng Xizi in front of her, but the other party has never made any expression.

Although I don't know why the other party has not made any moves in the past sixty years, he showed such an extremely ferocious face today.

But Geng Wujiang knew that she could not escape now.

After knowing the truth, she prepared herself mentally.

If the other party's hatred could be resolved because of her own life, she was willing to bear it all for her grandmother.

She also really wanted to find out what Geng Xizi's grandmother wanted to do.

Moreover, apart from her own reasons, Miss Hiiragi Inoue in the basement is also still working hard, and she cannot be disturbed during this period.

Even if she couldn't resolve the hatred in Yuko's grandmother's heart, if she could delay a little longer, it might affect the fate of Miss Hiiragi and Mr. Ito.

Therefore, after leaning back slightly and adjusting his nervous emotions, Geng Wujiang apologized to Geng Xizi in a guilty tone.

"Yuko...Grandma, I've learned the truth from grandma."

"I don't know what you want to do now, but if your target is me, I am willing to atone for my grandmother's mistakes."

Chapter 186: Can You Forgive All This?

Geng Wujiang, who was unaware that Geng Xizi had split into two different individuals sixty years ago, was still hoping to find a way to resolve the knot in Geng Xizi's heart. Even if he could not resolve the hatred in the other's heart, he wanted to get along with the other as peacefully as possible.

However, the shadow Xizi standing at the door of the basement did originate from the hatred and resentment of Geng Xizi before his death.

But over the past half century, the various legends about Yuko at the Seikei Academy have long been passed down through word of mouth and have become a part of her.

Especially in the last ten years, under the influence of the mysterious revival, her strength has been greatly enhanced by monopolizing all the negative emotions generated in the area surrounding the Cheng Teaching Campus.

Of course, what was more important was that a few years ago, a high-level cursed spirit passed by here and, after seeing her potential, provided her with a way to retaliate against her body, allowing her to find a place to vent the hatred in her heart that had been unable to be vented for many years.

Therefore, Geng Xizi standing here, after breaking free from the constraints of her original body Geng Xizi, her situation at this time is more like a new cursed spirit condensed based on the hatred of Geng Xizi before his death.

So now it is impossible for her to be shaken by Geng Wujiang's heartfelt words.

Now she just wanted to give her heart and soul to this girl in front of her who looked 80% similar to Geng Xizi in her lifetime, and use the blood of Geng Zizi's descendants as the first step in her revenge against mankind.

After hearing Geng Wujiang's begging for forgiveness, Ying Xizi smiled creepily again.

In the basement, Kaiji Ito wanted the little girl Geng Wujiang to come back quickly.

Although he was still a little confused and didn't know what had happened that year.
