Chapter 268 Guochang Lizun
——Encounter the Apostle!
To be honest, Hui Yuanchu is more or less suffering from PTSD now.

Therefore, facing the huge crowd of doll versions in front of him, Hui Yuanchu's initial instinctive reaction was to immediately activate the multi-form of Adaba and devour all these dolls.

But soon, he calmed down again, calmly cut off the half-activated power, and instantly changed the arm that had started to change back.

Because in a moment, the cicada group gave the opposite suggestion - don't rush to take action yet.

The reason is that he is not in the outside world now, but in the ruling domain that he has fallen into for no reason.

In this isolated place, he couldn't find a way out for a while, without any support or intelligence, and there was a stupid fox behind him who was holding him back but needed protection.

At this time, the enemy in front of you has become the best source of intelligence...

In addition, the group of dolls on the opposite side had no immediate plans to attack.In other words, the craftsman behind the dolls who controls them also wants to communicate with him.

So Hui Yuanchu endured it.

Sure enough, when they were nearly 50 meters away from the Tesumuisha, all the dolls stopped in unison, and then began to separate like a tide.

Soon, the engine sounded.

A sports car came from behind the doll, passed through the Ichino Torii Gate, along the shrine, and stopped in front of the two of them.

Hui Yuan looked at the car and felt it looked familiar.

He looked at the license plate again, moved his lips, and finally swallowed back the words "That's my car" considering the atmosphere.

The person who gets off the car is naturally a craftsman.

Her body this time was that of a petite, black-haired girl with a bobbed bangs and a witch costume.

...However, although this miko costume is also a white hakama in a broad sense... it is definitely not worn in a shrine.

Although the skirt is long, the slits on the side extend from the ankles to the armpits, and the entire side is almost a gap that runs the width of a palm from top to bottom.

From the gap - the breasts that can be grasped, the slender waist, and the tie tied at the crotch, all can be seen at a glance.

In addition, the area of ​​the scarlet hakama's front and back hem is unexpectedly narrow...

Even if the girl is just standing in a normal posture, most of her long legs are exposed.

It's not so much clothes and skirts, but two pieces of cloth on the front and back.

But Hui Yuanchu didn't feel tempted at all.

Because since she is a craftsman, then this body in front of her... it is better to treat her as a craftsman's handicraft.

"That's the car that Hatsu-chan gave to Rika!!" Ibuki Rika's high-pitched voice sounded so aggrieved that her hair was about to explode.

Hui Yuanchu turned around and saw Laixiang letting Mr. Gongji lie on her lap, staring at the craftsman with hatred: "Chujiang gave Laixiang a car, but he drove here so shamelessly, I really wanted to kill her... …”

Suddenly, Hui Yuanchu felt a little confused: "...No, no, at this time, isn't the first thing you should say 'avenge the Lord Palace'?"

And this fox’s heart is unusually big, right?When encountering such a supernatural event, your first reaction is to be jealous?

Before Bugui Laixiang could speak, Lord Gong Si first opened his eyes and gave Hui Yuanchu a white look: "...I'm not dead yet."

"That's right, I just checked, and there's nothing serious about Mr. Gongsi, just some flesh wounds, and the blood is someone else's." Lai Xiang said nonchalantly, and then stared at the craftsman with hatred, "It's this bitch , Wearing such shameless clothes, it looks like he’s here to steal the business from Laixiang!”

The craftsman noticed Laixiang's glare, but didn't care.He even took the initiative to turn around, holding the car door and bending his thighs, using the beautiful curves specially designed to show off the most astringent side again, while also smiling at Laixiang in a demonstrative manner.

Lai Xiang's face turned ugly again.She looked down at her standard miko uniform and whispered, "That dress... damn, I lost."

But the next moment, she took out her mobile phone and started taking pictures of the craftsmen.

While filming, she muttered: "But it's okay, I'll find a tailor to make it later, and show it to Chuchan! Chuchan just wait, Laixiang doesn't have that kind of childish body, it will look better wearing that good-looking!"

But the craftsman no longer paid attention to Laixiang.

She just waved to Hui Yuanchu and said in a milky voice: "Long time no see, Master Hui."

"Who are you? I don't know you." Hui Yuanchu said deliberately.

But the craftsman's reaction was completely beyond his expectation——

The craftsman tilted his head and thought for a moment, then lifted up his front bangs, inserted a little finger into an invisible place behind his chin, and clasped it hard.

"Ka" - a neat gap suddenly appeared around the entire face.

Then the craftsman inserted the fingers of both hands into the gap and pressed hard again.

With a "click", this time, the girl took off the entire front of her head, exposing the empty inside of her skull.

Handing the face to the puppet priest next to her, she took a new facial component from another puppet priest and pressed it onto the hollow of her head with a click.

In the blink of an eye, just like replacing the facial parts of a Nendoroid, the girl had another face with completely different features.

"In this case, Lord Gray should have remembered it, right?"

Even her voice changed as she said.

... This job was done so well that Hui Yuanchu could no longer pretend not to know him, even in the sense of flattery.

He could only say helplessly: "Yes, yes... Asano Eimi, no, 'craftsman'."

The craftsman nodded with satisfaction, then quickly turned his face back again with a dazzling speed, and then said: "This time, Master Gray, please call me Tao Ji."

"Okay, okay, Taoji...what are you doing for me?"

"Well, to be honest, I'm not here to see Mr. Gray..." The craftsman turned his attention to Mr. Gong Si in Laixiang's arms, "...but to find that aunt."

She stretched out her hand and said: "Master Gray is here, I won't kill anyone...Give me the golden branches of Mount Inari, and I promise you can reach the shelter alive."

..."Golden Bough"?
The first thought that popped into Hui Yuanchu's mind was not a question like "What exactly is the golden branch mentioned by the craftsman?", but a picture.

——That was in the car on the way to Zhe's old house.

The girl opposite had just rewarded him by stepping on him.

But once it was over, her expression could only be described as indifferent.She never looked at him again, just took out the scroll and read it and gradually focused on it.

The title of the book is "The Golden Bough".

Then, she asked him to come here, met Laixiang, went to Inari Mountain, and was trapped in this secret place again.

…So, everything is connected, right?

When Hui Yuan first thought of this, Lord Gong Si replied coldly: "I will not hand over to such a heretic as you even if I die."

The craftsman looked disapproving.

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me. In fact, it doesn't matter if I can't find Inari God's golden branch..." Then, she suddenly moved her eyes to Laixiang and changed the topic, "You are too old. Finally, offer the golden branch." Yes, it’s definitely not you, that big-breasted girl, who is the shrine maiden selected by Inari Taisha Shrine, right?”

Ibuki Rika originally had a ferocious expression on her face, hugging Miyaji-sama tightly while glaring at the craftsman fiercely.

When he was mentioned, she opened her mouth unwilling to be outdone, as if she was about to curse.

But - the muzzles of thousands of puppets immediately made a neat "click" sound and pointed over.

The fox girl shuddered and shut her mouth obediently.

"It doesn't matter if you can't get the golden branch... As long as you kill the shrine maiden, Inari Taisha will be eliminated. The result is the same, isn't it?" The craftsman smiled and said in a threatening tone.

At this time, Hui Yuanchu felt that he could no longer watch.

"--Hey."

With just one word, the other three people stopped talking and looked at him.

"I'm just curious... what is the golden branch you're talking about?" Hui Yuanchu said slowly following the intuition of the cicadas.

"Master Gray, if I guess correctly, you entered this place by mistake, right?" The craftsman looked at him up and down a few more times, and finally said slowly, "You don't know the origin of what happened here."

Hui Yuan thought for a while and admitted frankly: "Yeah."

"So, this matter has nothing to do with you."

"Laixiang is mine." Hui Yuanchu intercepted.

The craftsman suddenly fell silent.

silent.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly smelled a hint of meaning.

Although she had covered it up very well just now, Hui Yuanchu could smell it now—the artisan was fully guarding him.

In fact, she was a little surprised to meet him here, and she seemed to be afraid of him, so she was fully on guard against him.

...This reaction is really interesting.

Hui Yuanchu thought.

It's like trying to avoid him getting involved in this matter. ...So that's the case, of course the apostle should have discovered long ago that he had stolen and replaced the true spirit of the academy... Then, deduced his current state?

Sure enough, the craftsman finally gave in: "Okay. Then, you can take the witch away...but in exchange, you won't have to worry about this aunt's affairs, right?"

"That depends on the situation -" Hui Yuanchu said ambiguous words while turning his head to look at Mr. Gong Si.

If this aunt is not stupid, she should ask him for help at this time, and in this way he will have an excuse to intervene——

But this Lord Palace Secretary was actually lowering his head and reciting prayers.

Hui Yuanchu suddenly felt dumbfounded.

Lord Inari can't save her at this time.

But at this time, the woman raised her head and looked at him calmly. Then, as if she had seen through what he was thinking just now, she took the initiative and said, "Just now, I was praying to the Great God Guochang Lizun."

Hui Yuan was a little stunned at first.

He quickly found the meaning of the name from Epionia's offline database.

——The name of God is always honored by the country.

The ancient book "Nihon Shoki" records six versions of the process of "the formation of the chaotic world", that is, the "creation".

The six statements are very similar, such as——

"...There is an unspeakable thing that lives between heaven and earth. It first transformed into Guochangli Zun, and then transformed into Guochui Zun and Feng Guoshu Zun..."

"...At the beginning of the creation of the heaven and the earth, a creature appeared in the heaven and the earth. It looked like a reed bud, and it turned into a god and was named the Kingdom Changlizun..."

And so on.

In short, in these sayings, the so-called "the country always establishes its respect"...is exactly the "Creator".

Hui Yuan was initially interested.

...Is this Lord Palace Secretary someone related to the group and someone who knows his identity?
So Hui Yuanchu stared at the Lord Palace Secretary and asked: "So, aunt, what are you praying to Guochang Lizun?"

The Lord Palace Secretary looked at him calmly and said: "I am praying that the great god Guochang Lizun can bless me and enable me to arrive safely——"

Then she mentioned a certain address in Kyoto.

"it is good."

Hui Yuanchu nodded simply in response, and then looked at the craftsman: "...This matter has nothing to do with you now. I promise you can leave alive."

The craftsman looked at him, but he didn't look disappointed, as if he had already had this mentality.

"...Master Gray, you will regret it." She just made the final threat lightly.

"Although I know that I alone cannot kill you... but my goal is not you in the first place. You may not be able to take good care of the two mortals over there, right? Ah, fragile mortals, even if they just slip by like this A small piece of shrapnel..."

"You won't be able to save either of you."

Huiyuan turned a deaf ear.

He didn't stop until he reached Laixiang.

Then he stretched out his hand and forcibly pulled Lai Xiang's head over and stuck it on his lower abdomen, and at the same time firmly clamped her head so that she couldn't turn her head left and right—just like that, completely blocking her view.

"Hey——?" Laixiang was a little stunned at first.

But since she couldn't move at all, she quickly calmed down.

"Yingjian." Hui Yuanchu turned his back to the craftsman, and suddenly called out that name.

An interesting thing suddenly occurred to him.

Although he always stands on the side that is hostile to the apostles and hinders their good deeds - but if one day, the apostles pray to him in turn, hoping that he can help them realize the ambition of the Lord of Light, he will What to do?
Should he respond to them?
So Hui Yuanchu asked the question with a smile while thinking about it, "Actually, you can try praying to me? Maybe, I will respond to your wish directly -"

This time, the craftsman didn't take the joke.

In an instant, her originally cute face turned very ferocious.

"No matter what, the apostle of the Lord can never pray to the dirty Creator." She gritted her teeth and said these words, "Only dedicated to the Lord of Light!!"

...Okay, Hui Yuanchu thought, the enemy is the enemy, and the positions of both sides have been fixed from the beginning.There may be compromises and cooperation, but there is always a line that cannot be crossed.

—For the apostles, that was the object of their prayers.

So, at the same time as the craftsman's last word fell, the dolls began to raise their guns, shoot, and charge at the same time.

At the same moment, right in front of them, Hui Yuanchu's back also began to spray out a huge amount of flesh and blood rapidly.

——The so-called huge amount refers to the flesh and blood slurry that was stirred out by more than [-] people.

In the blink of an eye, a huge amount of flesh and blood rushed into the air dozens of meters high, forming a huge red wave mixed with countless white flesh.

In comparison, the original human form of Hui, which was still connected to the end of the wave of flesh and blood, looked so small at the foot of the huge wave.

The red and white surges in the air quickly solidified into countless flesh-and-blood tentacles that were tens of meters long and more than one meter in diameter, and then hit the puppet below heavily.

The puppets also opened fire quickly.

The flesh and blood were blown to pieces in mid-air, and rain of blood, flesh, and snow fell one after another.But the value-added speed of flesh and blood is obviously better than the speed of destruction.

When the flesh and blood tentacles fell to the ground, they still remained intact.

The heavy and thick tentacles hit the ground hard, destroying about a quarter of the puppet lineup.

But the puppet in the gap between the tentacles continued to fire at the flesh and blood beside it without hesitation.

The tentacles were silent for a moment, and suddenly countless human lips several meters wide grew from the surface. The lips opened, revealing tongues and teeth covered in saliva.

Next, they began to twitch and roll like long snakes that had been stepped on.

The thick flesh with blood constantly oozing from its surface rolled back and forth among the dolls, sweeping and crushing them.At the same time, the big mouths everywhere would bite the doll into its mouth from time to time, chew it into pieces, and then spit it out without mercy.

With his eyes covered, Laixiang's body trembled and he stammered: "I, I seemed to hear something eating, eating, eating..."

"Shh, don't listen, don't think about it..." Hui Yuanchu gently touched her head and said, "Laixiang is the best behaved."

"Hmm...hmm." The little fox obeyed and buried her face deeper in his belly.

Hui Yuanchu glanced at Mr. Gong Si next to him again.

The woman's mood was stable, her eyes were closed, and she was chanting a prayer to the God of Inari.

The sound of chewing gradually subsided.

Suddenly, another burst of fire broke out among the crowded tendrils, and then some unknown object flew high into the sky.

The fleshy whiskers were originally a part of Huiyuan, so he naturally knew what happened—that was the craftsman's body named "Tao Ji" was finally crushed by the fleshy whiskers, so she repeated the old trick again, using her head as a The rescue capsule was generally launched.

In this regard, Hui Yuanchu had long been worried about the fact that she had escaped from the college. He had already thought of countermeasures and was waiting for the experiment.

He still covered Laixiang's eyes with his hands, but in an instant another arm grew from his shoulder, clenched his fist tightly, and stretched out in the direction of the unknown object flying away.

With a "bang" sound, the top of the arm suddenly exploded, and the fist was pushed by the air and launched.

But the invisible soul cicada is still held behind the fist like a fishing line.

So in Huiyuan's original perception, his fist flew across the sky at high speed, and quickly caught up with the head in front.

——"Bang" The fist and the head collided heavily in mid-air, and each turned into countless fragments, falling from mid-air.

At this time, the chewing sound on the ground also stopped completely.

Huiyuan exhaled and began to slowly withdraw the giant tendrils of flesh that were lazily squirming full of post-meal breath into his body.

...Of course, he could have left it alone.Just so as not to scare Laixiang...

Finally, when the last drop of blood was sucked back into his body, he let go of Laixiang's eyes.

Laixiang's eyes evaded, and she looked forward as she wanted to but didn't dare to look, and then she was stunned.

Countless pieces of construction debris, whose original appearance is generally invisible, are piled up on both sides of the clean shrine.

But other than that, nothing.

"Let's go." Hui Yuanchu pulled her up, and then went to hug the immobile Mr. Gong Si, "Get in the car."

He pointed with his chin to the sports car parked on the approach road ahead.

He deliberately left it and cleared the way.

"Go to Kyoto."
