"Your brother?!" Cang Tai's mind was in a mess, and he took two steps inconspicuously, "But the sixth master Bai is going to find your brother!"
Aoi turned her head, she lay on the ground and smirked consciously, laughing so that her whole body was shaking: "Looking for my brother? Then he can only go to a shrine full of ceremonial brands."
"But at this point, Bailiu used to see my brother in the shrine, only my brother..."
Cang Tai raised his head in horror: "Will the resentful spirit?!"
"It's not my brother's grieving spirit. My brother will not be buried in the shrine." Aoi smiled weirdly. "It is not allowed to put sacrificed bodies in the shrine in Kitahara."
Cang was too stunned: "Isn't the shrine used for offering sacrifices? Why is it forbidden to put the corpses of sacrifices?!"
"How can sacrificial offerings be put on sacrificial offerings?" Aoi rolled her eyes and looked at Cangtai, "Of course, something much more terrifying than the corpse of sacrificial offerings should be put on."
Aoi's face was pale, and she covered her mouth and giggled, "Guess what the shrine put in?"
Outside the shrine, Shirayu stood quietly.
At night, the shrine was closed tightly, and an inexplicable bloody breath came from the crack of the door. You can see the twisting inside the paper door, the shadow of a certain monster. In front of the door is hung a thick hand-wrapped knotted rope. There are imperial rice papers hanging at a certain distance-it is said that this can be used to seal evil monsters.
If the rope is broken, the monster will be released.
Bai Liu raised his hand and lifted the rope, and calmly walked into the shrine of night.
A layer of translucent water wave "swinged" around him, the water wave spread and dissipated, the knotted rope broke, the blood stained on the royal rice paper, the temperature around Bai Liu suddenly dropped by several degrees, and the shrine did not turn on any lights. Under the circumstances, it automatically lights up.
This light is a dim, swaying orange "color" fire, not the light of a lamp in a shrine, but rather like a strange fluorescence from the pupils of some huge animal in the dark, with a dangerous sense of prying eyes. .
The wind blows out from the closed shrine, like breathing, blowing outwards, inhaling, blowing back and forth, "swinging" the white willow's clothes, and carrying a strong, like rotten flesh from the mouth of a vicious dog Fishy.
Bai Liu seemed to have heard nothing, with a faint expression on the front of the shrine enshrined on the huge wooden cabinet, with his hands folded and politely bowed slightly, then raised his head, lifted his hem, and stepped on the shrine.
The breath-like undulating wind stopped for a moment as if by mistake, but the wind suddenly grew louder, making a whistling sound, as if a dog was gritting his teeth and exhaling a snort at the culprit who had offended his master’s territory. There was a warning grunt in the throat, and a huge yellow "colored" eye appeared on the back of the wooden cabinet, staring directly at Bai Liu maliciously.
Bai Liu was familiar with all the strange things. He climbed up the first wooden cabinet and looked up at the shrine placed on the highest part of the wooden cabinet.
In the shrine was a black-and-white photo of a boy who was under twelve years old. His face was immature, and he was smiling silly when he took the photo.
—This is the only photo of a sacrifice in the entire shrine in Kitahara.
There is a tablet under the photo, and it says [Kitahara Jiro] on it.
Bai Liu stretched out his hand to take the picture, and without hesitation, he stretched out his hand to take the black "color" jar under the shrine. He "touched" a wet and bloody animal carcass, then he took it out and took it out.
It was a black Shiba Inu corpse whose neck was twisted off and soaked in some kind of antiseptic agent.
The Shiba Inu’s hands and feet fell softly against his belly, and there was continuous "liquid" falling and dripping on the ground. The eyes should have been bright orange "color", but at the moment they are muddy and only a layer of yellow "color" can be seen. Ze now.
The black "color" pupils in the huge orange "color" eyes on their backs suddenly shrank when looking at Kitahara Jiro's photo, turning into a vertical line, the light and shadow of the iris around the pupils flowed, and the light in the shrine suddenly It went dark, something jumped out of the wooden cabinet, fangs at the white willow standing on the wooden cabinet, and barked away.
In the darkness, some kind of huge beast roared through the shrine.
[System reminder: Congratulations to Bailiu for activating the first page of the Monster Book of "Cthulhu Sacrifice·Houseboat". 】
attic.
Cang was so anxious that he scratched his head and said, "White Roku is now in the shrine, Aoi, I beg you, can you tell me what is in the shrine."
"If there are no sacrifice corpses in the shrine, why does that servant have terrible grievances in the shrine, and let us not come out at night?"
"Of course there are resentful spirits in the shrine." Aoi raised her mouth strangely. "There is indeed no corpse of the sacrifice, but the corpse of a pet with the same name as the sacrifice is placed."
"The evil spirits formed by animals are far more terrifying than human beings."
Cangtai, who was sitting on her knees, was dumbfounded, and asked in shock: "Pet's corpse?! How could it be a pet's corpse!?"
Kwai looked at Cang Tai slantingly: "Of course it's the pet's corpse."
"The people in Beiyuan tortured the sacrifices every day. How could they be afraid of the resentful spirits formed by the sacrifices? Even if people become ghosts, ghosts are afraid of people, right?"
Kui's face went on indifferently: "But animals are different."
"They remember'sex' not as good as humans. When they become resentful spirits, they will not remember who tortured them during their lifetime, but only remember who is their master. Then the evil spirits formed by them will be the protector, and they will attack and approach the sacrifice frantically. The shrines are the humans of their owners."
Cang-ta heard that everyone was in a daze, and she sat paralyzed: "...What kind of shrine would be the corpse of a pet?"
Aoi: "You can't enter the shrine because of the corpse of the sacrifice."
Mrs. Cang asked in a dazed question: "What?"
Hearing this question, Aoi laughed. She laughed and coughed, laughed and cried, still laughing: "Because the shrine does not accept people who are in vain."
"The sacrifices here either couldn't bear the pain and died before the Cthulhu Sacrifice, or they endured the pain and successfully sacrificed at the Cthulhu Sacrifice, but they went crazy and died after seeing Cthulhu's eyes. ."
"People who "suicide" are all in vain. They are unclean and cannot enter the shrine to receive worship."
Kwai’s face turned hideous. She hammered the floor and cursed viciously: "But the Beiyuan group" is obviously enjoying the pain of this sacrifice, so she has to pretend to set up an archway to beautify this. The pain of the sacrifices is praised for their contribution to Beiyuan, as if the pain is no longer pain, but their voluntary sacrifice!"
"And Tachi Shrine enshrines sacrifices. Most of these sacrifices are "suicide" and do not conform to the sanctity rules of the shrine."
"So these people have a solution." Aoi sat up with her hands on the floor. She looked straight at Sota, without a trace of emotion on her face. "They decided to use substitutes instead of sacrifices and put them into the shrine, accepting Worship."
Here, Aoi took a deep trembling breath before continuing: "I originally buried my brother's body by the beach, but the people in Kitawara will let my brother enter the shrine, so that he can always be worshipped and be grateful. The resentful spirit of my brother who "suicide" may become a Buddha, instead of forming an earth-bound spirit that has been trapped in Beiyuan."
"Although I resent them, I really feel that my brother can leave here, even if it's a ghost to leave here."
"So I promised them and let them take my brother's body."
Kui twitched the corners of his mouth: "My brother, like me, has a Shiba Inu with the same name as his own. My Shiba Inu is now, but his is still alive."
"For my brother, that Shiba Inu was lying under the eaves hanging by my brother. I didn't eat or drink for more than a few days, so I forced it to eat and let it survive."
"At that time, it seemed to realize that my brother was already there. I gave it something and it would eat, but most of the time it stayed under the eaves in a daze."
Tears slowly slipped off Kwai’s face: “It turned out to be a very docile dog, and it won’t hurt people no matter how much it was beaten. But when my brother, when I was tortured by the people of Beiyuan, it would rush over to face it frantically. People bared their teeth and wanted to protect me. I was beaten several times and never retreated, so I was very stern."
"—It's like what my brother did before his death."
"It will always follow me, but on the day my brother's shrine was made and sent to the shrine, I couldn't find it anyway."
"I searched and searched in the yard, yelled and yelled, and called its name-Jiro, Jiro, Jiro, where have you been, come out soon, Jiro."
"I looked for dark and called dark from dawn, but I still didn't find that Shiba Inu."
Kwai turned sideways to look at the sluggish Cangma, and laughed grimly, tears bursting: "But I finally found it."
"They asked me to pay homage to my younger brother at the shrine that was just completed. I went there while worrying about Jiro, but in my younger brother's shrine, I saw [Jiro] whose neck was squeezed and potted!"
Aoi cried heartbreakingly: "They, these beasts, obviously have so many things to replace, so I chose [Jiro]!"
"They just make our living servants continue to suffer! Become sacrifices in the next round!"
Kui Cry's voice was hoarse, unable to make a sound, and tears flowed numbly: "There, I heard the rumors of the resentful spirit."
"I know it is the ghost of [Jiro] who guards my brother’s shrine day and night at the shrine, except for me, as long as anyone dares to look up at him, [Jiro] will be chased by this person who disrespects my brother. Drag the opponent into the shrine and bite."
Suddenly, Aoi burst into laughter, her face was full of tears, and her eyes were in a trance: "If Bailiu goes to the shrine, he will be eaten by [Jiro] as a bone before seeing the evil god!"
"What!? I have to go back and tell Master Bai Liu about this!" Cang was too panicked to turn down the window.
But as soon as he stood up, Kui jumped over and grabbed Cangtai's ankle and fell to the ground.
Aoi looked up "chaotically" and "lostly", with a weird smile on his tear-stained face: "[Jiro] hasn't been released to eat people for a long time."
"Instead of making your Bai Sixths a sacrifice to Kitahara in pain and contributing to their development, it is better to let him feed [Jiro] well."
Shirayiu sits casually on the ground of the shrine, and "touches" a huge black Shiba Inu next to him with his left hand.
This Shiba Inu has golden eyes and an uncomfortable resentment on his body. The broken bones can be clearly seen on the neck, but he keeps rubbing against Bai Liu's hand in violation of his harmony. Sticking out his tongue barely, sticking out the "naked" and "exposed" neck of the bones to Bai Liulu.
Bailiu's face did not change "color" for a few times, and the Shiba Inu instantly overturned and "exposed" its belly. When this Shiba Inu fell on Bailiu's coat, it was like smelling a strange breath. He bared his teeth in an instant, but when Bai Liu stretched out his hand, he sniffed Bai Liu's hand a little bit suspiciously, and then lay down and exposed his belly.
Then continue to repeat the above process.
It is very strange to the breath of Bai Liu's body, but it is very familiar with the breath of Bai Liu's hand.
—That's the smell of Aoi, the sister of its owner.
Bai Liu looked down at the thing in his hand-it was a thin curl of hair, which he had taken from the outside curtain of the window thrown down by Cangtai who climbed up.
This is Kwai's hair, and it is also one of the weaknesses of this [Black Dog Wraith] monster.
There are two Shiba-inu-shaped stone lanterns at the gate of Kitahara. Last year’s sacrifice was Aoi’s younger brother. The image of the sacrifice at the top of the shrine here looks a bit like Aoi. The servant shrine does not accept people who are in vain, but the shrine The sacrifice here is Kui's younger brother. The combination of this information is enough for Bai Liu to infer where the key is.
Bai Liu slowly pushed the teeth of Shiba Inu's corpse with two fingers, slid into his throat, and took out an old-style key wrapped in plastic film.
[System reminder: Congratulations to Bailiu for completing the side task-stealing the key to the shrine in Kitahara. 】
[Two warm tips:
1. Playing Bailiu You can now use the shrine key to open the shrine to meet the evil god, but there will be a greater risk of returning to zero spiritual value. Please choose the game path carefully.
Second, at 5 o'clock every morning, the Lord Kitahara will come to the shrine to worship and check the key placed in the black dog's body. Please play Bailiu and pay attention to returning the key before that. 】
Bai Liu put her hair on the tip of the black dog Yu Ling’s nose, and then turned and walked out of the shrine, alone in the night "color" wearing a thin and almost transparent white "color" loose coat, almost without any pause, his face " Seki walked peacefully towards the shrine above Kitahara.
Aota, who was struggling on the window sill, suddenly saw a very dim light on the road leading to the shrine. The struggling movement stopped, and Aoi saw it immediately.
She slammed away Sota, and looked at the lamp that kept approaching the shrine in astonishment: "Bai Liu actually took the key..."
"Is this guy going to die? Take the key and rush directly into the shrine." Kwai muttered to himself, "Is he not afraid of the evil god making him crazy?"
"Or, you've been mad at Cthulhu, Bai Liu..."
Aoi suddenly looked at the lamp that was close to the gate of the shrine in an instant:
"...Could you really be a lover?"
Cang Taisheng retorted: "I'm all with you, Lord Cthulhu is the lover of Lord Bai Six."
Aoi God's "Lose" calmed down instantly: "What if it's a lover? He opened the shrine and saw the evil god."
Cang Tai asked incontrovertibly: "What?!"
Kui sneered: "This evil god will only open his eyes when he feels enough painful people. The rest of the time is a corpse. This corpse is sealed in a huge shrine. No one can use any method. Can wake him up."
"Kitahara took the key and used various methods to "force" the Cthulhu to wake up, but apart from allowing the people they sent to approach the Cthulhu to be alienated and turned into monsters to "suicide" or be killed, no progress has been made."
Kwai's gaze fell on the dim light on the top of the mountain, and his tone was extremely cold: "That is a very cruel evil god."
"It's not a good thing to be with such a person or a person. It is his wishful thinking to have such a relationship with a god or a person."
Cang Tai flushed with anger, and waved his fists vigorously: "No! The Sixth Master Bai, they are a pair of lovers! A pair!"
Kui glanced at Cangtai with the leftover light, and then turned back to the top of the mountain. She looked at the light, her tone and expression in her eyes were unclear, as if in a trance, and as if asking:
"The evil god who eats human suffering will also understand what love is and how to love someone?"
Bai Liu raised his head and glanced at the closed gate, carried the lamp to shine it, and "inserted" the key into the keyhole without any hesitation, and then turned.
"Squeak!"
As the fine dust and dead leaves fell, the door was pushed open by Bai Liu. He carried a swaying gas lamp and walked in, pushing open one after another, one after another and the Japanese room door, and one after another came. In front of the shrine wooden house with flying eaves.
A bell for wishing is tied to the flying eaves. A thick rope hangs under the bell. There is a cash box in front of the wooden house. Through the uppermost compartment of the cash box, you can see the scattered inside. The change, this is the coin that people use to make a wish to the evil god.
Bai Liu looked down, he looked at the game manager hanging on his heart—a coin.
It turned out to be like this. Coins are the sustenance for people to make a wish to God. That's why they look like the system manager of the game of entering Cthulhu.
-Because this is the medium for you to make a wish to the evil god.
Bai Liu raised his head, he walked around the bell, stepped over the cash box, pushed open the most wooden door, and finally came to the interior of the shrine.
The room is very large, with a tatami mat on the floor, and two wooden doors placed at a distance from the ground are located directly opposite the center. They are placed together at the center. The standard should be a huge shrine.
If there were no accidents, Sheta would be inside.
Bai Liu stopped in front of this shrine. He stretched out his hand to open the door of this shrine, but he didn't know what. The moment his extended hand touched the door of the shrine, it was like being pressed by the pause button, in mid-air. There was still a few minutes of motionlessness.
He seldom hesitates, because there are very few emotions in this world that can make him hesitate.
—But opening the wooden door at this time must be one of them.
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at his hand that stopped in front of the wooden door.
The Sieta in this game's world line should have met Richieta from other world lines before him, in other words, it was the former Sieta.
Regarding how Bai Liu explored and questioned before, Xieta had never had his past with him, and this thing, which seemed like a mystery, was finally unfolded in front of Bai Liu.
… The former Sheta, a Sheta who was killed by [him], what would it be like when she saw him
… Will kill him? Will you hate him? Or will he just treat it as if he doesn't exist, just like he did to [White Six] in this world line
It's like Sheta did to other children in the orphanage.
Sheta seems to have always understood humans. He ignores children, investors, and everything around him. He exists in the world like a statue, and he has never had any human being close to him in his eyes.
Bai Liu began to understand from Sheta that in God’s eyes, it seemed that humans could not be accommodated, not because of arrogance, but simply because...
Law produces feelings.
So Bai Liu didn't understand, what so many human beings, so many children, so many [Bai Liu], Xie Ta would only look at him.
He asked Sheta, and Sheta answered him: "The problem is not actually with me, but with you, Bai Liu."
Bai Liu thought it was very funny at the time: "Can the problem be with me?"
Sheta looked at him seriously: "Yes."
"Because of the way you look at me, no matter when I am, I will definitely look back."
"The look in the eyes convinces me." Bai Liu smiled lazily, holding his chin, "How do you distinguish between the look I look at you and the look other people look at you? A person who looks exactly like me is looking at you , Can you tell the difference too?"
"I can." Sheta stared at Bai Liu with those silver and blue eyes, "Because you are different."
"On how many [White Six] there are, this person would look different when only you look at me."
"The moment you look at me with that kind of eyes, I am endowed with a soul and emotions by you."
"I have a soul because of you."
Bai Liu pushed open the door of the shrine, and the huge light inside the shrine fell.
The shrine is pushed away from the courtyard. It’s late at night, and you can see the silhouette of a man sitting on the corridor. When you walk in, you can see the man’s long curly silver and blue hair hanging down from his waist under the moonlight, and a layer appears. Soft shimmer.
He was wearing a large hunter's clothing, he looked like he was about eighteen or nineteen years old, his figure was long and smooth, with gold chains on his feet snaking around. This person seemed to be looking down at a book.
At the center of the courtyard is a huge goldfish pond. There are beautiful orange-red goldfish swimming around. The flower-like tail fin makes sparkling waves on the water, folding the pages of the book and this person’s quiet side face. The long eyelashes are like falling snow, full of water and moonlight.
Bai Liu stopped at him, a place where he could almost read a book.
When the night breeze came, the woods rustled, and the two people's wide and thin gauze coats stretched in the wind, overlapping and flying like fluttering leaves.
This person put down the book and turned his head. He raised his eyes, "showing" the silver-blue "color" eyes that Bai Liu is familiar with.
The night breeze was blowing between the two people, Xieta looked at the white willow through the blown gauze, and lightly raised the broken and glued book in his hand:
"I haven't seen you, is this the first time you have come to the shrine?"
"Want to see it together?"
