Chapter 110: The Woman Pierced by the Demon Sword

“Every year, one or two shrine maidens are taken away from the dungeon. According to the people who deliver food, they are taken to be sacrificed to the evil god named”Yamata Torochi”.”

“There seems to be something special between Yuri and me. In fact, I have been imprisoned by the Genji for about two years. They seem to be avoiding us two. Many of the little shrine maidens who were captured after us were taken away for sacrifice, but the two of us have been detained all the time.”

Zhou Yuan knew the reason. One of these two girls has the qualifications to become a living god, and the other is an alien with unknown bloodline. To be frank, the Genji was very lucky to capture these two girls when they abducted rural shrine maidens. As for that Yamata Toruchi, to put it bluntly, it is the Yamata no Orochi, the Yamata no Orochi secretly worshipped by the Genji, and the shrine maiden who was sacrificed. This is consistent with the plot of the original work.

Although the Genji’s real purpose is definitely not simply to please the Yamata no Orochi and find a non-blood father for themselves, their purpose is not important, and Zhou Yuan does not care about such trivial matters.

At this point, Zhou Yuan thought that things were very clear, but a trace of doubt appeared on Zaoya’s little face, and she continued

“Although it sounds really strange for me to say this, not all the people in the Genji family are complete villains.”

She sighed, but she said something good for Genji. Furuto Yuru next to her curled her lips slightly, but did not refute anything.

Zhou Yuan didn’t need to think too much to understand. After all, the Genji family is also a family of onmyojis who claim to protect humans. Many of them grew up listening to teachings like”You have to kill monsters and protect humans”. When they grew up, they were suddenly told that they were the villains.

Between the correct education instilled in them since childhood and the kindness of the family, there are probably quite a few people in the Genji family who are lost in their own torture.

“When I was imprisoned in the dungeon, there would occasionally be patrolling Genji men. They seemed to be trying to avoid some kind of surveillance, and sometimes they would deliberately communicate in the dungeon. I once heard them say,”How could the extremely noble God ask for a sacrifice from the shrine maidens? He is a brutal and lustful god of war, this is not reasonable.” This did not match the previous”sacrifice to the Yamata no Orochi.””

Zhou Yuan seemed to be thinking about something. It was not difficult to guess the intentions of these people. They just wanted to pass on the key information. But why would they say this to a group of imprisoned little priestesses? Did they know that these priestesses would escape?

But that was impossible. The sudden outburst of the Genji clan was because they provoked Kikyo and kidnapped Kikyo’s sister. How could these Genji people foresee such a thing? Did they turn on the perspective of the whole map?

As for the extremely noble Yushin and the lustful god of war, in the territory of Neon, who would be pointed to by these two keywords at the same time, to be honest, Zhou Yuan could only think of one person. The ferocious god of war who killed the Yamata no Orochi, one of the three noble sons, Susanoo, also known as Susanoo.

But why did Susanoo’s name appear at the same time as the Yamata no Orochi? Zhou Yuan was really confused.

Without giving Zhou Yuan time to think, Zaoya’s smooth nose wrinkled slightly and continued.

“Strangely, about two weeks after they finished saying these words, there seemed to be a commotion outside the dungeon. The commotion did not affect the dungeon itself, and we didn’t know what happened specifically. We only knew that someone seemed to be attacking the dungeon.”

This makes sense. First, tip off the news, and then rob the prison. As long as even a little shrine maiden can be rescued, the crimes of the Genji family can be made public.

If these Genji people directly reveal something, it will only kill all the trapped little shrine maidens, and the head of the Genji family will certainly order the destruction of all evidence.

The several major Onmyoji families are not monolithic. It must be known that human nature is very complicated. Now that Zhou Yuan has ordered the complete extermination of the Genji family, the other families will feel that the rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and they will even do something secretly to save the bloodline of the Genji family. This is very likely to happen.

But Zhou Yuan also understands that if the Kikyo incident did not happen, but instead a little shrine maiden suddenly accused the Genji family of heinous crimes, then the other families who caught the Genji family’s fatal weakness would most likely beat them up instead. Genji, the trapped dog, might do something even more ruthless and vicious than what he is doing now under the orders of Zhou Yuan.

Human nature is always the most complicated thing, just like those people who tried to break into the prison. They are definitely Genji’s men, otherwise they would never be able to penetrate the heavy siege and cause a commotion outside the dungeon that even the little miko maidens could notice.

The mature Tofutani Sayome and Furuto Haneiri should also be very clear about this, so they would say a few good words for their enemies.

The kind little miko, even if she became a prisoner, maintained a pure and innocent heart and the ability to see things clearly.

Sayome showed a trace of sadness on her little face. The previous mention of Genji’s sins and her own entrapment did not make her look like this. What happened next seemed to really make this kind girl sad.

“Among those who often brought us food, there was a sister from a branch of the Genji clan.”

“She is different from those inhumane people of the Genji clan. She sympathizes with us shrine maidens, but the heavy guards of the dungeon, the kindness of the Genji clan, and the justice and kindness they have upheld for many years have tortured her to the point of being miserable.”

At this point, Zhou Yuan noticed that Komachi in his arms sobbed. He gently stroked Komachi’s tender back and comforted her softly. At the same time, he signaled to Sayaya, who had noticed Komachi’s mood and paused, to continue.

It seems that the reason for Komachi’s mental trauma is this girl from the Genji branch. For things like this, it is better to guide than to block. Without a clear understanding of the whole picture of the incident, it will be difficult to guide Komachi out of this sad thing. Sayaya also understood this. She shook her head helplessly and continued.

“The sister was tortured by self-blame and guilt, but she was powerless to change anything. But after Komachi was arrested, everything changed.”

“Komachi, she is still too young, she is really just a cowardly child. And unlike me and Yuri, Komachi has nothing special about her, so Genji wants to sacrifice her.”

“The anger and dissatisfaction in the sister’s heart were completely ignited. She drew her own sword and wanted to protect Komachi, but in front of Komachi, she was pierced through the heart by her own long sword. We miko are born with clairvoyance and can see that it is a demon sword controlled by Genji.”

Zhou Yuan was silent. He witnessed the person who wanted to protect him die in front of him. Such a tragic experience is difficult for even a mature adult to look forward to, not to mention a child as young as Komachi. Her introverted personality has evolved into cowardice.

But for some reason, Zhou Yuan always felt that this story had a sense of déjà vu.
