Same with this , Beiyuan's house.
Kui took off his gorgeous clothes with a numb face, and the servant next to him lowered his head and whispered to him, "Master Kui, you have selected your own [Prince Lord]."
"If you run away casually before the summer festival, what will happen to your [Prince Lord], should you know?"
Kwai looked at the sunny doll hanging under the eaves outside the window, and cast his eyes down.
The servant folded his hands in front of him, bowed back, and Kwai stood in the middle of the room for a long time as if frozen, then turned his head and lay on the window, motionless, staring at the shrine in a daze.
It was night now, and six hadn't returned yet. It was said that Mifune had been detained in the houseboat. The Patriarch of Kitahara was furious, and the entire Kitahara family was preparing to dispatch to the Mifune family to negotiate the detention of sacrifices.
So her every night's fun—seeing Liushang Shrine, is gone.
Staring at the shrine for a long time, Aoi yawned a little tiredly, feeling bored in her heart, and was about to take her eyes back to sleep, when she saw that the door of the shrine was pushed a little bit open.
Kui looked at the door that had been pushed a little bit open in surprise, and then looked around. After confirming that she didn't see the willow, her heart was beating wildly.
If she hadn't been observing every day, she would hardly find the faint gap in this door.
This evil god who lives in the shrine, without the existence of painful sacrifices, has the evil god awakened? !
Kwai opened the window and looked around. When it was true that there was a servant who had fallen asleep in the attic on the left, she turned over and climbed down from the side of the attic skillfully.
The Beiyuan family negotiated the most with the Mifune family. During this period, the staff of the Beiyuan family would be relatively empty. Aoi calmly thought that as long as she came back before that, she should not be discovered.
Although she was arrested and returned, she was also a sacrifice that had successfully escaped from the Beiyuan family once. This kind of thing that didn't go out of the gate was just a visit to the shrine and she thought she was familiar with it.
Aoi hung swayed under the attic twice, jumped steadily to the ground, and ran in the direction of the shrine.
In the attic behind her, she thought the servant who was sleeping was silently opening the window, watching her run towards the shrine.
The servant was holding a wired phone in his hand and was approaching the receiver, whispering: "Kitahara Aoi is approaching the shrine, following the same path of action as Kitahara Six in the past few months."
"Patriarch, the summer festival is only two days away. In the past four months, we have confirmed that the sacrifice Beiyuan six has the qualifications to awaken the evil gods. Will the Beiyuan Kui be tested tonight? After being able to awaken the Cthulhu, the escape route that has been arranged will be lowered to these two sacrifices?"
"Leave it down." A hoarse middle-aged man's voice came from the earpiece. It was the Patriarch Kitahara. "We can't give the first place to the Mifune family."
"We have accompany these two sacrifices in a play for half a year. It is time for them to pay the price of [pain] for the gift of the Beiyuan family."
"Yes." The servant quickly replied. He squinted at the [Sacrificial Nurturing Plan] form hanging on the back of his door, respectfully asking for instructions, "I'll confirm it with you."
"The parenting plan we prepared for Kitahara Aoi is [Educational Cognitive Bias] and [Escape Twice]."
"Last year, in the [Escape Plan] guided by the Mifune family, we had to let Kitahara Aoi escape, and spent two months of rafting outside. During this period, Mifune had asked his own people to contact her. , Because we don’t want Kitahara Aoi to be under the control of Mifune, we have forcibly recalled Kitahara Aoi after getting the number one tax payment this year."
"After the recall, we trained her with [educational cognitive bias], tortured her colleagues, taught her all the most beautiful things in this world, and made her think that the outside world is beautiful. Yes, it stimulated her desire to escape again."
"Tonight, we will arrange an escape route for Beiyuan Kui, and arrange a certain [person] from Beiyuan's family to this path to help her escape and completely capture her heart. "
"At the winter festival half a year later, we will let this [person] betray Beiyuan Kui, tie her hands and send her back to Beiyuan home, that is, she is the perfect sacrifice for suffering."
The Patriarch Kitahara smiled hoarsely: "It's perfect with her wish."
The servant hesitated for a moment, then looked at the [Sacrificial Nurturing Plan] and continued reading:
"Sacrifice Kitabara Sixth, I successfully stolen the key to the shrine on the first day of arriving at Kitabara’s house, and went to the shrine to awaken the evil god. It is a mature sacrifice from the beginning."
"For the next four months, Kitahara will go to the shrine every day to worship. At first, we thought he was a devout disciple, so the cultivation plan for him was [ Blasphemy], that is, to let the evil god fall and collapse in his heart."
"For example, torturing him in the shrine, forcing him to pray for help from the evil god, the evil god did not come out to save him, and in this way he was allowed to abandon his faith and achieve the goal of deepening the pain."
"We soon discovered that Beiyuan Liu is not a devout disciple." The servant was quite confused. "... Through the six months of teaching and observation, we found that Beiyuan Liu was not a pious disciple. The reason for the shrine is because of the belief in evil gods, it is better to say that it is, in..."
Patriarch Kitahara continued with the second half in a dumb voice: "—I'm trying to tune/teach the evil god, so that the evil god will suffer for him in turn and believe in him."
The servant nodded: "Yes, we don't have a special cultivation plan for Six, we just prepared to put him in the [Escape Plan] step by step, and see how it turns out in half a year."
"Hey." Patriarch Kitahara squinted his eyes. "It's just a pity that we don't have a tool that can measure pain like Mifune. No need to wait half a year to see the results."
"The two key props for cultivating sacrifices, Tenpei and Houseboat, are both held in the hands of Mifune. We can't clearly open the shrine at the non-sacrificial node, so we can only observe the performance of the sacrifice outside the shrine from a distance. , Let’s see if the sacrifice has the qualifications to awaken the evil god."
The servant sighed: "Even so, because of the alienating influence of the evil god on the people who saw him, we also lost a lot of people in the process of observing him."
"However, judging from the performance of Mifune's robbing Liu tonight." Patriarch Kitahara let out a dull and dry laugh, "Six should be a very painful sacrifice."
The servant hesitated: "The owner, since Liu has been so painful, should he give his escape route to Liu?"
"Let it go." The Patriarch Kitahara said in a gloomy tone, "The current Kitahara family can't compete with the ship's house, and if you don't let it go, it's just letting the ship's house take it forcibly, so let's go out for six and wait until the second half of the year when the farmer's house is finished. Take control of Luming County and tie him back."
"Yes." The servant nodded respectfully. "Then I will immediately arrange to pick up the people who run away."
The top of the mountain, the shrine.
Aoi flew up with a gas lamp, she looked at the huge shrine standing on the top of the mountain in a daze, and the hot night breeze blew over her face.
…Is this the feeling that walks here every night
Waiting to stand in front of the huge gate of the shrine, Aoi regretted her impulse somewhat rarely.
On both sides of the shrine, brackets have been erected, and knotted ropes have been hung. Lanterns have been hung on them one by one, and the surroundings of the shrine have also been carefully cleaned.
The summer festival is only two days away. The shrine is about to open to the outside world, and the decoration and cleaning have begun. This means that there are people watching and decorating near the shrine. She is now a bit adventurous here.
It’s all here, it’s late at night, and she didn’t see the person taking care of it...
Kwai took a deep breath and stepped onto the last ladder.
A very light voice came from the door: "Who?"
Is this the voice of the evil god
Kwai was startled when she heard that, she began to be so nervous that her heart was beating wildly, The sameThere was an inexplicable hatred rising in her heart—
—The one who lives here is the evil god who killed her brother.
"You are waiting for six, are you?" Kui asked calmly.
The sound inside was quiet, Kui heard the sound of the chain moving toward the door, and a strong smell of blood floated from the crack of the door, and the other party's voice became lighter and ethereal, with a sincere inquiry. Kwai: "Yes, I waited for him one day."
"Usually this time he had come long ago, today I don't know why, he hasn't come all the time."
"Do you know what happened to Liu?"
Beiyuan Kwai tightened the handle of the gas lamp in her hand. She slowly took a breath and spit it out. Then she smiled inexplicably and came: "You don't have to wait anymore."
" Six will not come to see you."
The voice in the shrine paused for a moment, and when he spoke, he became calmer: "Why?"
"Do you know what the latest course of our sacrifice is?" Kui smiled badly and came, "It's "Love"."
"We told the love story "Lord of Long Hair" yesterday, and today let the sacrifice choose the [Prince Lord] we like from the handsome young men around, and experience the beauty of love."
"Liu also chose his own [Prince Lord]."
The voice in the shrine became completely silent.
Kwai waited outside for a while, and there was a feeling of revenge in her chest, and another kind of inexplicable depression.
It's like she's in this distorted and gloomy Beiyuan home, in this painful Luming County, the only thing she can see in the dark forest is that the light brought by six portable gas lamps will be extinguished in front of her. That kind of suffocation.
Cangtai's sparkling eyes flashed in front of Kwai's eyes. He looked at Kwai seriously and said:
【The Six Masters and the Cthulhu Master One are true love, the same beautiful feelings as in fairy tales. 】
Kui gritted his teeth: "Why, do you want to give up?"
The moment her words fell, the shrine door in front of her was pushed open by a slender hand. Under the thin moonlight, the blood-stained Cthulhu on his face and body tried to open half of the door. The door, I walked to the entrance of the shrine, stretched out my fingers and pushed open the door a little bit with all my strength, and appeared in front of Aoi Kitahara, who was dull-looking.
He closed his eyes, his delicate face was stained with blood, he held the door frame, his body was pulled into the shrine by countless silk threads, his chest was slightly slumped, and the voice of his words was panting: "Liu [Prince Lord] Has the selection been over?"
"Can you please return Liu to the original prince, add me, and choose once?"
Sheta's closed eyelashes trembled slightly, and there was a thin layer of red on her face: "Although I am not young anymore, I should be handsome too."
Beiyuan Kui was shocked by Xieta's face and couldn't say a word. She just wanted to say something, and suddenly turned her head to look at the grass that fluttered over there: "Who?"
A figure slowly walked out of the grass.
Beiyuan was stunned for a while.
It was a woman with a rosy body. Her appearance was three to four points similar to Beiyuan Kui. Her body was scarred. At first glance, she knew she had suffered a lot of injuries before she came here. She looked at Beiyuan Kui, covering her mouth. Tears: "I finally saw you, Kui!"'
Kitahara whispered in a daze: "... Sister."
The person here is the eldest sister among the four Kwai brothers and sisters.
This eldest sister broke with her family in anger after Aoi and her younger brother Jiro were sold, and was driven out of Luming County, married to a seaside county town far away from here, and hadn’t seen Aoi for a long time. NS.
"I didn't agree with my parents to sell you and Jiro at the time. I couldn't speak, and I was driven out of Luming County and not allowed to come back." Kitahara's sister Kwai grabbed Kitahara without saying a word. Kui's hand said eagerly, "I specially came here during the summer festival. The guards everywhere in Luming County are very lax."
She squatted down, supported Kui's shoulders, and looked at each other eagerly: "Run with sister, and leave this hell!"
Beiyuan looked at the hand stretched out by the older sister with an empty expression, and there was a clear shake in his eyes.
She slowly raised her hand and placed it on the palm of her elder sister.
