Hello, I am a witch, not an evil god

"The shrine of an unknown god." Keiko Qiandao took a deep breath, and said to herself in a low voice, "No matter how courageous they are, they dare not act wild in the shrine."

She looked down at her clothes, the tights were messed up by the non-stop fleeing, as if she had just passed by a homeless man who hadn't seen a woman in 30 years, and the clothes torn by the blade seemed to be the traces of tearing.

Of course, the mess is only caused by fleeing in the jungle.

The branches and bushes caught the clothes torn by the weapons, causing many cracks to become larger. If it was daytime, one could still see her white and attractive skin and looming figure curves through the cracks.

The strong recovery power from the deep sea hunter made her wounds heal without leaving a trace.

Before arriving here, she deliberately stopped at the nearby river, dived into the river and washed it to clean the blood.

This was done to avoid blood-staining the shrine and attracting the attention of unknown gods.

As for whether the blood with the power of the secret key will cause the fish and shrimp in the river to be eroded into weird beasts and cause harm to the world, she can't care so much anymore.

She has escaped for ten days!

The person who chased her down was a deep-sea hunter from the [Fox Hunting] organization like her.A deep-sea hunter who makes a living by hunting the mysterious, weird, evil and indescribable deep sea.

"It's really ridiculous. Comrades who have fought together for several years are facing each other with swords because of a stone of mystery."

Keiko Qiandao squeezed the broken bow tightly until she heard the footsteps of the pursuer in the distance with her keen ears. Then she took a deep breath, straightened her messy long silver hair, closed her red eyes slightly, and then opened them again. After concealing the murderous aura, he stepped onto the path and walked into the shrine.

"Without a ray of light, um, it should be a shrine without people." Keiko Chishima thought to herself.

The shrine standing on the mountain is like a sleeping giant beast, and the shadow of the shrine building getting closer is like the face of a giant beast, mocking her for throwing herself into the net.

The silence, the shrine without a shred of light, and the occasional chirping of insects and beast roars gave Chishima Keiko the illusion of walking into the mansion of the evil god.

Even in the face of giant beasts from the deep sea, and indescribable strange beasts that make people crazy at a glance, she can fight without changing her face.

But now, facing a shrine that seemed to be safe, she felt terrified.

The closer you get, the more you feel like you're about to be swallowed.

Keiko Qiandao regretted breaking into the shrine to avoid being hunted down.

Damn, this isn't a shrine dedicated to an evil god.

According to publicly available information, among the countless shrines in Inari, many large-scale shrines enshrine not the gods recorded in Shintoism, but unknown "evil gods".

But now that she has come in, it is too late to leave because of timidity, and she will definitely run into the hunter who is chasing her.

Those deep-sea hunters with a keen sense of smell lost her scent, and they must dig three feet nearby to find her.

Now she needs to breathe a sigh of relief, needs time to heal her injuries and recover, and then blows the horn of counterattack.

Suppressing the uneasiness in her heart, Chishima Keiko followed the procedures of entering the shrine, washing her hands, offering offerings, and worshiping, and then quietly came to Yugaki and sat down cross-legged.

Two black shadows of kooma dog (shishi) at the entrance seem to be watching her, mocking her for daring to step into the realm of the gods at night.

Legend has it that after the gods rest at night, ghosts appear in the shrine that has lost the protection of the gods. If you break into it, you will be harassed by ghosts.

Of course, there should be no "ghosts" in this world, only creepy beasts that make people crazy.

It is impossible for the strange beasts to step into the shrine, because the torii, Yugaki, and Koma dog of the shrine all have the ability to purify chaos, and will make the passing strange beasts disappear.

So in theory, the shrine is very safe.

But the shadow of Koma Inu kept disturbing Keiko Chishima's sanity, so she simply closed her eyes.

Since watching it will make you uneasy, then stop watching it and go to sleep.

However, just when she was about to take a break, a ghost-like voice suddenly sounded beside her, making her scalp explode!

"who are you?"

Chapter 003 Begin to Fudge

"who are you?"

Shenli Linyue blinked her eyes and looked curiously at this silver-haired elder sister who was wearing tights and was disheveled but couldn't hide her heroic spirit.

Xiao Linyue's body is about 14 years old, and her figure is relatively petite.

Regardless of height or temperament, Chishima Keiko looks at least 18 years old and is indeed a big sister.Of course, it may also be well maintained... Auntie?

Uh... It's impolite to call someone a beautiful and young big sister or aunt when they meet for the first time, of course Xiao Linyue won't say it out loud.

The light emitted by the lantern was very faint in the dark night. With the help of the dim light, Shenli Linyue looked at the cheek of the big sister in front of her.

The cheeks covered with fine sweat are full of heroism, and the demeanor has a touch of coolness. With just one glance, you can see the noble temperament that is different from ordinary family girls.

This young lady is very beautiful, but her background is extraordinary.

But the messy hair, the black tights that were torn into strips...

Could it be that this young lady ran to the shrine in a hurry when she was attacked by a moron?

Thinking of this, Xiao Linyue let go of her guard a little bit.

The girl showed a smile, looked at Keiko Qiandao who was tense and even showed a touch of fear because of her sudden sound, and said softly: "Hello, I am Tenri Shrine...that is, the maiden of this shrine—Kamizato Linyue .Hmmm... also God Lord, do you need any help? You seem to be in a bad mood."

"Witch?" Keiko Chishima was taken aback, her expression relaxed a little.

It turns out that this is not a deserted ownerless shrine, but a priestess.

Don't you turn on the lights at night and still like scary people appearing suddenly?

The power of the secret key was activated secretly, and through the fluctuation of feelings, Keiko Chishima confirmed that the witch in front of her, who was wearing a strange maiden costume, was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who had not opened the secret key...

No wonder!

At night in this Tenri Shrine, there seems to be a mysterious atmosphere circulating, which constantly affects and erodes people's reason.

As a deep-sea hunter who is about to fully master the secret key, Chishima Keiko possesses strong willpower and can remain calm even against strange beasts that can make people lose their minds.

And this witch, who seemed to have no power of the secret key, was fine.

This is an ordinary person?

Ordinary people, not to mention inside the shrine, even stepping into the torii, may be eroded to the point where only fear remains, and then go crazy.

Moreover, she approached him without realizing it, and only noticed her arrival when he spoke, and even her voice caused his sanity to collapse, causing a short-term fear!

From this, Chishima Keiko speculates that this harmless and cute little witch is definitely a strong person at the secret key level or above who has fully mastered the power of the secret key!

The power of the secret key is the power used by human beings to fight against mysterious beasts and the abyss.

Regarding the explanation of the power of the secret key, the Secret Council, whose creed is to explore and study the unknown, gave the answer——

There is a treasure in everyone's body. If you want to dig the treasure, you need a key, which is the secret key.

When the secret key is touched, the secret key will give feedback, allowing people to gain extraordinary power, or become a powerful secret beast, or have an extraordinary physique, or gain the ability to control water, fire and everything.

With a deeper understanding and analysis of the secret key, and finally opening the treasure, you can gain power comparable to a god.

Because the strength of the secret key is strong or weak, and the degree of analysis and magnitude are different, it is impossible to make a unified judgment. There are only three kinds of secret key power systems:

Entry-level: Refers to the level between just touching the secret key and fully grasping the power of the secret key.

Secret key level: the level between completely mastering the secret key and fully opening the treasure.

God level: The degree to which one has successfully obtained the treasure of the gods.

Going up further, it is probably not the level that human beings can reach.

Keiko Qiandao is currently an extraordinary person who is about to break through and master the secret key.

According to simple judgment based on experience, the miko in front of her must be more than one grade better than her. Keiko Qiandao showed a touch of respect and caution, bowed her head slightly, and said, "Hello, my name is Keiko Qiandao, and I am a..."

"It's a passing stranger who had to come in to take refuge because of something life-threatening, isn't it?" Shenli Linyue interrupted Keiko Qiandao and said with a smile.

Chishima Keiko's mind tightened.

How did she know?

Is it—

She knew she was coming, so she was waiting for me on purpose? !

Yes, otherwise most people would have fallen asleep at this time.

Being "insighted" by the little witch who was two heads smaller than herself, Miss Qiandao's head immediately fell into chaos.

Before she could figure it out, Shenli Linyue said again: "Aren't you being hunted down by some people you hate?"

When the guardian blessing was over and she heard footsteps, Shenli Linyue didn't come out immediately, but quietly hid in the dark, using her ears to judge the actions of the uninvited guest?

When she heard the sound of the uninvited visitor cleaning his hands and ringing the bell during worship, Shenli Linyue judged that the visitor was not a thief, and of course, he was not a local believer, but a "outsider" who did not understand the rules of Tenri Shrine.

Who is a serious person to visit the shrine at night?

Regardless of whether it was before or after Linyue Shenli came, Tenri Shrine has a rule that it is not allowed to step into the shrine at night, and it is also forbidden to visit at night.

The residents at the foot of the shrine also obediently abide by this rule. When Shenli Linyue gets off work, they have to go back immediately even if they are queuing up to pay homage.

Oh, the so-called queuing to worship is just a scene that appeared in Xiao Linyue's dream. The real situation is that when 10 people come one day, she will set off firecrackers to celebrate...

With the help of the dim light cast by the moon through heavy clouds, seeing that Keiko Chishima did not leave after visiting, but ran to Yugaki, which is the fence of the shrine, and squatted down, Linyue Kamisato had some guesses.

Afterwards, by observing her movements and body curves, Shenli Linyue judged that this was a young lady, and there was a high probability that she would not pose a threat to herself, so she walked out of the darkness, turned on the lantern, and went to check the situation.

As for appearing quietly and then asking "Who are you" to scare people, it was purely Xiao Linyue who suddenly wanted to play a prank.

In fact, it did startle people.

Seeing the big sister's clothes torn into strips, as well as the messy hair, fine beads of sweat, and trembling delicate body, Shenli Linyue immediately imagined the specific situation——

The little sister is a tourist who came to Asakawa County to play. She lost her mind at night and was caught by an idiot and a man. After she resisted, she fled and ran into the shrine in a panic.

It may be because the shrine in her hometown allows worship at night, or there is no regulation prohibiting worship at night, so she went to worship just now, and after visiting, she can get comfort in her heart and reduce her fear and tension.

It seems that she wants to spend the night in the shrine, or she may want to ask the gods to forgive her for passing over by visiting the shrine.

Except for the clergy, other people are not allowed to spend the night at the shrine, unless they are distinguished guests of the shrine, that is, those who donate a lot of money to the shrine.

A person who asks for God's blessing because he has just been hurt is definitely fragile in his heart, and at the same time, he is also praying in his heart for someone to comfort him.

And such a person is the best choice for fooling around, and he looks like a rich person.

Big customer, big money owner!

Be sure to trick her into buying something!

At least buy a freshly baked omamori, right?

Reduce her to your own flannel ball if you can... Bah, the shrine's long-term client couldn't be better.

Who wouldn't want a benefactor who would come over regularly to donate and help repair the shrine?

Although Xiao Linyue knows nothing about psychology and speech skills, based on experience, as well as the words and deeds of customers, she can still make up some love and resentment, and then use this to test with words, so that people can tell the truth .

As long as the words are ambiguous, don't speak out, there is a high probability that you can tell people's hearts, and then you can succeed in fooling around and sell the expensive garrison!

Shenli Linyue glanced at the system's tasks, and the above cycle tasks had been updated.

"Recurring task: sell an Amulet, reward 110 Yuan Inari Coins, Tune Huasheng Bow*1."

Besides money, this is the first time I have a task reward in kind, so how can I not be tempted~!

Chapter 004 Want money but not body, girl please respect

"You...how did you know?" Qiandao Keiko asked with a confused face.

Nonsense, looking at you like this, what else could be going on besides running for your life in a panic?

Shenli Linyue cursed in her heart.

The clothes were torn like this, and it was a sign of resistance.

Although she wanted to do business with this "rich man", seeing Keiko Qiandao's messed up appearance, Xiao Linyue also felt compassion.

So pitiful.

There is no mandatory rule that outsiders cannot live in the shrine, but now the ownership of the shrine is their own, including the right to interpret, of course, even if there was a rule prohibiting outsiders from living in the past, it can be changed.

However, Xiao Linyue has always been very vigilant towards strangers, and will not put herself in danger just because of sympathy.

In order to prevent Qiandao Keiko from being unfavorable to her, Shenli Linyue would definitely not let her live in the same place as her.
