Can't Stop Drawing

thump.

Stepping forward, Eirin stepped into the shrine, causing the copper bell hanging under the eaves of the main hall of the shrine to shake.

Jingle jingle jingle...

In the quiet and empty Hakurei Shrine, a crisp and loud bell sounded.

In the room, Marisa looked back in surprise when she heard the bell ring.

A black shadow approached the paper door of the main hall, getting bigger and bigger, and its appearance became clearer.

Hey.

The paper door opened, and Eirin appeared in Marisa's vision.

"doctor--!"

Chapter 69 Consumables of the Great Barrier

After feeding Reimu with aptx4869, which reversed the medicinal properties, Yonglin measured Reimu's body temperature and found that it was dropping, and it would return to normal levels in a short time.

With a sigh of relief, Yonglin felt relieved.

As long as aptx4869 takes effect, Yonglin was worried that this aptx4869 would not work on Reimu, after all, Hakurei Miko's life does not belong to her.

Let Reimu, who had exhausted a lot of physical strength, rest well, Eirin pulled Marisa out of the main hall of the shrine, and came to the backyard of the shrine.

The simple backyard has nothing but a small warehouse not far away.

There is neither a huge cherry blossom tree that occupies the courtyard nor an exquisite dry landscape, only a khaki ground.

Glancing at Marisa, Yonglin said casually, "You have a lot of questions."

Marisa didn't speak, just nodded slightly.

"Now, if you want to ask anything, just ask."

"Doctor, are you... are you hiding something from me?"

Yonglin squinted at Marisa, but saw that she lowered her head, her expression was not clear.

Frowning, Yong Lin asked, "What happened to you?"

"Cuixiang, Huashan, Leimi, Huiyin, Sanae, the guys from Bailian Temple, those people from the Temple of God, I can't find them, or they kicked me out after listening to me about Lingmeng. One is willing to take care of Reimu." Marisa suppressed her anger, "Aren't we friends!? Why did they..."

Yonglin looked ahead without squinting, and said, "Because they know that Reimu's time has come."

Marisa clenched her fists and said in a deep voice, "What do you mean? What do you mean it's time?"

"Marisa, you know that Hakurei Miko guards the Great Barrier with her life." Yonglin turned her head and sighed softly, "This sentence is not just about Hakurei Miko's duty, It’s also talking about the form of existence of the Hakurei Miko.”

Originally still a little confused, Marisa didn't understand what was wrong with this sentence.

Suddenly, there was an electric shock in her heart, and Marisa realized.

"Maintaining the Hakurei Great Barrier requires the life of the Hakurei Miko!?"

In response to Marisa's question, Eirin nodded slightly.

Looking back at the main hall of the shrine in shock, Marisa felt that the originally simple and tidy shrine was covered with a layer of blood.

It was human blood, the blood of successive Hakurei priestesses.

Hakurei priestesses are not passed down in the form of a family. Almost every generation of Hakurei priestesses comes from a different family. They are selected from human villages by monster sages. Li Miko's identity.

The ancestors who no longer serve as Hakurei Miko will leave the shrine. They did not return to the human village, and no one knows where they went.

Recalling her father's talk about Hakurei Miko when she was a child in the family house, Marisa only understood the deep meaning at this moment.

Why has no one seen the abdicated ancestor priestess?Because they are all dead.

Chilling all over her body, Marisa's eyes on Hakurei Shrine changed.

The originally sacred shrine is now a man-eating devil's lair.

"Does Reimu know about this?" With a shake of her right hand, the gossip furnace fell from her cuff, and Marisa asked sharply.

"Every Hakurei Miko will know about this before they officially take over the status of Miko. They know their responsibilities and what they are doing." Yonglin looked away from Marisa and looked at Simple courtyard, "No Hakurei Miko escaped from their responsibilities, and none of them flinched."

"... Will Reimu die!?"

With her right hand hanging down, Marisa was a little at a loss, this was Reimu's choice, she couldn't stop it, and she couldn't stop it either.

Yonglin smiled and said: "It used to be, but now, it won't."

Turning around, Eirin saw the paper door behind him open in response, Reimu rubbed her eyes and walked out of the room, appearing in front of Eirin and Marisa.

"Marisa, why are you here..."

Halfway through the conversation, it stopped abruptly.

Marisa flew up and hugged Reimu, crying loudly in her ear.

There was a trace of reluctance in Reimu's eyes, it seemed that Marisa knew it.

She pointed at Marisa, and asked Yonglin, "Yonglin, have you told her everything?"

Yonglin clasped her arms, closed her eyes and nodded.
