Civilization Guardian Front

"I've already booked the Presidential Suite and the Carlton Club Suite, and I'm just waiting for the two of you to check in."

After leaving such a sentence, Chios drew out the rune of "Qi" with his sword finger, turned over and jumped out of the window.

Chapter 330: Xingjia Headquarters

Rockwood Mountain...

The tallest peak in Aomori Prefecture, which can be seen from anywhere in the Tsugaru Plain, is a stratovolcano called Tsugaru Fuji, and the guardian forest of the main shrine of Seika Shrine is located in the forest to the southeast of it.

The ancient path hidden under the shade of trees can't be found even with satellites. If it weren't for people who were familiar with this place since childhood, they might have been completely lost. Even the possibility of accidentally bumping into the real location of the shrine is very slim.

Since ancient times, it has never been marked on any map. Only the maiden Xingjia who has lived here for many years can identify the direction by virtue of memory experience.

The woodland looks very gloomy after nightfall.

The faint brilliance of the silver moon hanging high in the sky has been weakened after passing through the vegetation. It can barely illuminate the ground under your feet, but it also highlights the ferocious feeling of the surrounding shadows.

rustle...

Continue to go deep along the mountain road like a beast trail in the beech forest. I don't know how long it has passed. After passing a corner, I finally saw a narrow stone step leading to the mountain.

This is the Omotesando of Singa Shrine.

Stone lanterns stand at equal distances on both sides of the stairs, and the faint candlelight shines through a layer of windproof paper screens, showing the way to the kingdom of God above.

After ascending the fifth step of 130, the crimson torii gate appeared in the front view.

Two shrine maidens armed with wakizashi and naginata guarded here, one on the left and one on the right.

With extraordinary eyesight, I saw a figure climbing the stone steps, and the priestess on the left swung a dagger and pointed at the person coming.

"Stop!"

Another miko corresponding to her then spoke:

"This is the property of Xingjia Shrine, outsiders are not welcome, please go back."

Hearing the stern and cold shouts of two young girls, the figure on Omotesando paused for a few seconds, and then replied in a gentle voice:

"Powder snow? Huaxue?"

Although he used a questioning tone, judging from the behavior of the other party moving forward, it was obvious that he affirmed his guess.

The two priestesses in front of the torii gate showed surprise expressions at the same time, and their bodies, which were prepared to meet the enemy, relaxed a little.

Because, that was their extremely familiar voice...

As the other party got closer, a girl wearing a priestess costume and black hair tied with a white ribbon stepped out of the shadows, confirming the judgment of the two.

"Sister Baixue!?"

The priestess guarding the left side of the torii flew out and threw herself into Xingga Baixue's arms.

"Didn't my sister go to participate in the camp? Why did you come back to Xingjia Mountain suddenly?"

"I did the divination yesterday morning, and I always felt that something might happen in the next few days..." Hugging the sticky powder snow, Bai Xue stroked the hair of the sister who was two years younger than herself, to appease her excitement .

"But the content of the prophecy is too vague. I was a little worried that it might be a problem with the Yushen Body, so I asked the teacher for a half-day leave to come back, and wanted to use "Kagura Dance" to suppress the mutation of Feifei God. "

Hearing this, Fenxue lowered her eyes.

"Sure enough, did my sister divination something..." She said, burying her small face in her sister's plump breasts.

"I'm sorry, our "God Entrustment" is not as powerful as my sister. Although I have the conclusion of "what will happen", I don't know what the source of the anxiety is, but I don't want to trouble my sister..."

"God entrustment" is not as good as directional divination, it is just a sudden premonition that cannot be specified, and it is a technique used by shrine maidens under the age of 15.

At this time, Xing Jiahuaxue, who was holding a naginata and tied red ribbons on both sides of her hair, approached the two of them, and added sadly:

"In the end, the only thing we could do was to try harder to protect the shrine."

The contemporary seven witches who were also trained by the Xingjia Shrine, if it weren't for the differences in age, hairstyle, and figure, the three of them would look exactly the same.

Except for Fenxue, the seven witches are all related by blood, but even Fenxue is almost the same as Baixue at first glance.

"Are you guys in charge of guarding the shrine now?" Bai Xue, who hadn't returned to the shrine for several months, asked solemnly.

"Yes, since my sister went to Tokyo Butei High School, the older shrine maidens have gradually handed over important matters to us..." Fenxue rubbed her sister's body and said coquettishly:

"Probably because it was too easy to be under the protection of my sister before. I was given so many responsibilities all at once, and many sisters including me couldn't adapt to it."

"Well, this shows that the elder priestess trusts you."

Having a general understanding of the current situation of the club, Bai Xue nodded, not only relieved, but also happy for the younger sisters.

The duties of guarding the club have been successively handed over to the contemporary seven witches, which also means that the previous generation recognized their abilities.

I don't know when, the younger sisters have become so reliable...

(But, sorry, I...)

Thinking of this, Bai Xue's face hidden under the shadow of bangs became cloudy.

The guilt of cheating sisters and relatives swept over like a stormy sea...

The girl who made up her mind could no longer look back, and she had no intention of doing so.

Even if she has made a decision, she still cannot easily escape the sin of betraying her relatives. Right now, she can only bite her lower lip and use self-punishment to offset the pain.

Bai Xue's unnatural behavior naturally fell into the eyes of the two younger sisters.

"Sister Bai Xue?"

Hua Xue looked at her worriedly.

"What's wrong with you, you don't look very well..."

Fenxue in Baixue's arms also raised her face, seeking her sister's answer.

"Is the result of my sister's divination really so bad?"

"Oh? It's okay, it's just that I didn't sleep well last night..."

Facing the questioning of the two, Bai Xue quickly suppressed her depression and restored her usual gentle smile.

"Don't worry, I'll go to Iwato, where the god body is placed, and perform Kagura dance."

The explanation of the girl's obvious loopholes did not arouse suspicion...

If it were an older witch, she would inevitably have to be asked a few more questions.But for the two younger sisters who have regarded her as a role model since childhood and admired her, they would not question anything she said at all.

"Do you want us to go together?"

"Although the dance is not as perfect as my sister, but if I work harder..."

Fenxue and Huaxue expressed their willingness to help.

It's a pity that Xingjia Baixue who has other purposes will naturally not allow...

"You don't need to be so motivating, Scarlet Goddess is moody, maybe we will show up together, but it will anger her..." Shaking her head lightly, she smiled and patted the heads of the two younger sisters.

In order to reassure the two, Bai Xue then added:

"Let me try it alone first. If I need your help, I will not be brave, okay?"

The two maidens guarding the entrance of the shrine saw that the elder sister had already made a decision, and they could only nod in agreement.

Seeing this, Bai Xue smiled softly at them, stepped into the torii gate, and walked to the core area of ​​the shrine.

Fenxue and Huaxue, who were paying attention to her body, didn't notice it. At the same time as her sister took steps, a shadow in the woods on the side of the Omotesando steps also shook slightly.

Chapter 330 Four? Crimson Crimson God

In the darkest shadows...

Chios stared at Xingga Shirayuki who walked past the two sisters into the shrine, and lightly tapped the edge of the tortoiseshell glasses on the bridge of his nose with his index finger to disable the night vision function.

(If there is no Baixue to lead the way, it is really not easy to find this place in the huge forest...)

The green tint faded from the field of vision, and the purple pupils quickly enlarged to absorb the light, filling the dark scenery under the night with clear colors.

Although the candlelight of the stone lanterns on Omotesando could only provide a weak light, it was enough for him, who was physically superior to ordinary people, to clearly see the fine gravel on the ground.

Today, the picture in the youth's vision is like the twilight time.

It's not bright, but it doesn't affect the recognition of people and things.

At this moment, Bai Xue's figure has already walked a few steps...

Chios, who hides his own existence, is already a little distance away from the road. If he doesn't keep up, he will lose his target.

Thinking of this, he slightly bent his feet on the branches of the tree, and jumped forward with force.

blow!

The airflow enveloping his whole body dragged and pushed him up into the air where he had nowhere to rely on, drew a slender arc, and landed lightly like a feather on the tree trunk at the edge of the torii gate.

With a little tiptoe, the whole person jumped to the hidden place deep in the shrine again.

"Um?"

Xingjia Huaxue, who was holding a naginata, felt the movement, and looked up at the ancient tree beside him.

It's a pity that I only saw slightly shaking branches and a few yellowed leaves blown down by the gust of wind...

...

There is a huge depression on the mountainside, which originated from the wound on the earth that was bombarded by meteorites thousands of years ago. After a long period of natural recovery, it is covered by lush vegetation.

The river that once flowed here was diverted, forming a crescent moon lake called "Water Bow".

The original head office of Xingjia Shrine is located in front of Mikayue Lake. For 2000 years, it has guarded the golden body of Feifei, and isolated outsiders from approaching with an extremely closed way of life.

In order to further conceal the secrets behind and prevent the possibility of Xingjia Miko approaching the God Body at will, a whole forest was artificially planted between the shrine and the lake.

Except for the contemporary seven witches, no one is allowed to enter or leave.

As the head of the Seven Witches and the heir to the title of "Scarlet Witch", Bai Xue, who had already put on a witch's costume, easily stepped into this forbidden area under the respectful and admiring eyes of other witches, and then disappeared from their sight.

There was only the slight sound of insects in her ears, and the sound of wind passing by her ears from time to time as she walked forward. After a few minutes of walking without saying a word, the girl arrived at the edge of Crescent Moon Lake.

The moonlight obliquely falls on the clear lake, coating it with a dreamy silver luster, and the full moon is clearly projected in the water mirror.

While seeing the "Water Bow", the mountain wall at the other end of the lake also came into view.

There is a small torii gate built by the lake, and behind it, a cave is faintly visible.

Kannabi, in the Iwato where the gods are hidden, is the body of the gods... the place where the god of the scarlet sky has lived for thousands of years.

suddenly...

"Listen well, Baixue, the mission of our Xingjia Priestess is to protect the secrets of God Scarlet."

"The Crimson Goddess has provoked countless disputes and turmoil in the past. Once the Crimson Gold flows into the hands of those who care, it will be a disaster for the world."

"Your ancestor, the first Scarlet Witch Himihu-sama was bewitched by the power of the Scarlet Goddess and tried to control it, but died suddenly because of it. Bai Xue, you must remember that the consequences of lusting for power that does not belong to you..."

All the words that were severely warned by the previous generation of witches since childhood, all came to mind at this moment, urging her to obey her kind nature and forcing her to stop.

"Ugh..."

The huge pressure seemed substantial, and it was heavy on the young scarlet maiden who would bear the fate of the Xingjia Shrine for the next few decades, making her clenched her hands in pain.

The nails were deeply embedded in the flesh, almost piercing the girl's skin.

blow!

Chios rushed out of the shadows, came to Bai Xue's side, and hugged her into his arms.

"what..."

Facing the sudden hug, the girl let out a soft cry, and she froze in place.

Smelling the ecstatic aura of the young man, feeling the gentle caress of the hair by the man's fingers, her body seemed to suddenly see the rising sun after resisting the cold night, and gradually stopped trembling.

"sorry..."

The words full of apology dispelled Bai Xue's bone marrow cold, and warmed her heart.

However, Chios' next sentence struck the girl's heart like thunder:

"Let's go back, Snow White."

After finishing speaking, the young man took the girl's soft little hand, turned his head to give her a reassuring smile, turned around and walked towards the direction he came from.
