Kagome's bicycle was almost sparking all the way. When she returned to her own shrine, her mother Higurashi was already waiting at the bottom of the stone steps.

Kagome's heart beat even faster. She stepped on the brakes and jumped off the bicycle. Higurashi's mother took the bicycle and told him to get on first without saying anything. "Ah Li, you go up first. Leave this to me."

"Okay, where's grandpa?"

"He's worried and is guarding in front of the shrine."

Grandpa was still up there, and she could hear the worry in her mother's voice.

Without asking any more questions, Kagome took two steps at a time. For the first time, she felt that the stone steps she had walked for fifteen years were too long.

Panting and climbing the last step, Kagome's mind was in a mess. She tried to tell herself that it didn't matter. There was a barrier around the shrine... Even if a monster ran out, it would be able to hold out for a while.

He came back too hastily and the shrine was too big. He didn't have time to set up the barrier for the entire shrine. He only opened a simple defensive barrier at the house of the Bone-Eating Well to prevent the monsters inside from running out.

But why is there a tremor? What happened to Sengoku?

Kagome had too many questions in her mind. The most important thing now was to make sure her family was safe.

We were almost there——

"Grandpa! Are you okay..." right?

Grandpa, dressed in a priest's hunting robe, placed various incense and talismans in front of the shrine, holding a sword in his hand and slashing at something.

"Oh, Kagome, you are finally back? Don't worry, Grandpa has already subdued the monster, hehe, watch out! Did you hear me? There is no movement inside."

Kagome supported her knees with both hands, panting heavily, and was speechless for a while. If he hadn't been able to see the monster, he would have thought that there was really a monster in front of Grandpa that was subdued.

"Grandpa..." He wiped his sweat helplessly and asked the key question, "Didn't they say that there was a sound in the Bone-Eating Well?"

"Ah, yes." Grandpa was exhausted after doing the ritual for a long time, and sat down on the ground, "About an hour ago, there was a loud bang here, and I was scared to drop my glass of wine on the ground before I could even drink it."

The daily amount was so much, and half of it was gone in a flash. Grandpa waved his shuriken angrily, "Damn monster!"

Looking at the lively grandfather, Kagome felt relieved, fortunately nothing happened.

"I'll go in and take a look."

After passing through the barrier she set up, Kagome pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, revealing the Bone-Eating Well wrapped tightly in talismans.

Kagome was full of question marks.

He touched the wellhead. In addition to the talisman, it was surrounded by a circle of nails. He looked at his grandfather lying at the door.

Grandpa poked his head out, full of confidence, "I used a very effective spell, I can definitely seal it, this well can't be opened anymore, the monster inside can't get through."

"But Grandpa... did you forget that I still have to go over there?"

Kagome's eyelids twitched, and under Grandpa's gaze, she tore off all the spells in a few seconds, and under Grandpa's heart-wrenching tears, she took his sword for exorcism and pried open the well mouth sealed with nails.

After successfully opening the well, Kagome looked at the dark bottom of the cave below, and there was nothing unusual.

Kagome didn't dare to judge the conclusion easily. There were only a few abnormal movements in the Bone-Eating Well, and each one was very important.

"Ah Li, what's wrong?"

The voice of Higurashi's mother came from the door. Grandpa was holding his bent sword distressedly. Seeing Higurashi's mother's hesitation, he waved his hand, "It's okay, don't come over."

Higurashi's mother knew that it was useless to go over, so she had to lean against the door with her hands clenched.

"Grandpa." Kagome replied without turning around, "You all go out, I'll go down and take a look."
