Chapter 2806 Seal (Warmly Celebrate the Successful Launch of Shenzhou Twelve)

Soon, according to the scene seen in the backtracking, the two came to the underground ceremony location under the ice house.

"This is the door."

Looking at the tall stone gate in front of her, Hinasaki Crimson seemed both nervous and excited. Of course, she still remembered that Zongfang Liangzang seemed to have discovered the secret of the Hishiro mansion in the backtracking, and then came here, right in Zongfang The moment Liangzang opened the stone door, countless white hands stretched out from inside grabbed him and pulled him in.

This also means...

"Miss Shizuku, that female ghost is also here!"

Seeing Hina Saki Crimson holding the camera and staring at Shimen viciously, what she knew was exorcising ghosts, but what she didn't know thought it was the scene where the wife brought someone to catch her husband and mistress.

Although Shizuku said it was more or less enough.

"Not sure, I haven't sensed the spiritual power... In short, let's go in and have a look first."

"But how to open this door."

Facing the heavy stone gate in front of her, Hinasaki Crimson couldn't help being a little bit blind. This stone gate is about five meters high, and the whole is made of stone.

"There seems to be a device next to it. Do we have to find something and put it on it to open the stone door?"

"It's not necessary."

Hearing Hinasaki Crimson's words, Shizuku shook her head, then she held Frostmourne tightly and looked at Shimen.

Then the sword light flashed.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, with the flickering sword light, the solid and heavy stone gates were scattered all over the ground like tofu that had been cut open, and Shizuku also retracted the big sword and let out a sigh of relief.

comfortable……………

Although I don't know who made this star seed, at least the other party doesn't have the little hobby of decrypting the goddess of space, otherwise it's enough to find the key to open the door!

"Miss Shizuku is really amazing..."

Seeing this, Hinasaki Crimson couldn't help sighing, although she already knew that Shizuku was very powerful before. But watching a petite girl easily chop the huge five-meter-high stone gate into pieces, this kind of shock is much stronger than Shizuku wielding a big sword to slay demons and demons before.

"let's go."

Shizuku swung her big sword and walked in with Hinasaki Crimson.

Behind the stone gate is a deep passage. After walking for a long time, the two saw a thin corpse in a kimono on the edge of the passage. Needless to say, this is exactly what they saw in the backtracking, the Zongfang who was caught into the stone gate Liangzang. And when the two arrived, the corpse seemed to have some kind of reaction, and a strange twisted aura emerged from it and gradually took shape.

"Munakata Ryozo, wake up."

As before, Shizuku stretched out her finger and flicked the blade. With a crisp sound, the originally distorted aura began to become clear, and then a phantom of a man appeared between the two of them. in front of.

"I didn't expect that I could still wake up..."

The man mumbled to himself and looked around, then looked at the two of them.

"I don't know who you are, but since you are able to come here, you must already know something about the things here..."

"No, we're just going along the way."

Shizuku silently answered the man's question.

"But we know that you have been studying the secrets of the ice house. I think you should know about the evil spirits in this place and what happened to the woman in white."

"Oh, of course, of course..."

Perhaps because he talked about the topic of folklore that he loves, Zongfang Liangzang suddenly became excited.

"That's right, I've already investigated clearly! What happened to the tragedy that happened in the ice room mansion that year, and what is the secret of the ice room mansion!!"

Next, Shizuku and Hinasaki Scarlet also learned the deepest secret hidden in this mansion under the chattering narration of the ghost of Munekata Ryozo.

According to Zongfang Ryozo's narration, there is a gate leading to the underworld under the ice house. Once this gate is opened, the miasma will cover all things, eliminate the boundary between life and death, and turn the whole world into hell. And the ice room family is the guardian of this gate. In order to prevent the disaster from opening the gate and the influx of miasma, they have been guarding the gate and sealing it up.

And this sealing ceremony requires several steps.

The first is the "Ghost of Muyin". The Himuro family will select a girl, and then put a mask covered with spikes on her face to blind her eyes and make her a "Ghost of Muyin". .

Next, Megakushi Oni will have a "ghost tour" in the same room with all the seven-year-old girls of the Himuro family, that is, hide-and-seek. The ghost is acted by the girl who was stabbed blind, and the other girls need to escape from this invisible ghost.

According to the records, this is not an ordinary game, but a ceremony to select the shrine maiden.

In the game, the first girl who is caught by the ghost of the eye will become the next ghost of the eye, and the last girl caught will become the maiden of the rope --- because according to the ice According to the records of the Shi family, the last girl caught by the ghost of Muyin possesses the most powerful spiritual power, which can be used to seal the gate of the underworld.

And after that, the selected Rope Miko will never be allowed to step out of the door of the Himuro house, locked in the room like being under house arrest. Ten years later, when the rope maiden is seventeen, she will start the rope-breaking ceremony to seal the gate of the underworld.

The ceremony of splitting the rope itself is very simple, in fact, it is similar to splitting a chariot, except that horses and chariots are not used. People from the Himuro family will tie special ropes to the hands, feet and neck of the Rope Priestess, and then put The other side of the rope is wrapped around a mechanism, and then rotated and pulled hard to tear off the body of the rope maiden, and then use the ropes of the rope-pull witch as a prop to seal the gate of the underworld to seal the gate of the underworld .

And the Witch of the Rope is required not to have any nostalgia for the world—this is why they put the Witch of the Rope under house arrest. When a person is locked up in a small dark room for ten years, she may have no idea whether to live or die. Nothing special to look forward to.

"Too much..."

Listening to Munekata Ryozo's narration, Hinasaki covered her mouth with crimson red hands, showing a disgusted expression.

"Why, why do you have to do such a cruel thing? Is there no other way?"

"Theoretically speaking, what the ice room family did is indeed valid."

Shizuku thought for a moment and gave an answer.

"Extreme pain will cause people to explode with far more power than usual. This is especially true for children with higher spiritual power. Although I don't know where the ice room family learned about this method, at least this method It does work."

"But, but they can ask someone to help."

Hinasaki Crimson obviously still doesn't understand.

"There should be a lot of spiritual masters like you, Miss Shizuku, in the world. Couldn't they go to the witches or eminent monks, and ask them to help seal the gate of the underworld, so that they don't have to make such a cruel sacrifice. Are those girls here?"

"Ancient Japan was quite closed, and they probably didn't think about it..."

Shizuku spread her hands helplessly, joking, there is only one exorcist like her in the entire history of the earth... Where can I find it.

After learning the secret of the ice room family, the tragedy of the ice room mansion is understandable.

Obviously, the ceremony of breaking the rope failed, the gate of the underworld opened, and miasma gushed out. According to the following records, in order to seal the gate of the underworld, the patriarch of the ice room family killed all the people in the family, and used their innocent souls to suppress the miasma at the gate of the underworld.

In the end, this approach was considered a success, but also because of this, all the members of the Himuro family became ghosts of the underworld, and were permanently bound here.

"Although what he has done is not commendable, but I have to say that this ice room patriarch is really awesome."

Hearing this, Shizuku couldn't help but praise, indeed, those rituals were barbaric and bloody, but the Himuro Clan did think about the world. Even when the final ceremony failed, they didn't choose to give up. Instead, they used the lives of their entire clan to protect the world from the miasma of the underworld... To be honest, you really can't judge this approach purely by right or wrong.

The same is true in modern society. For example, if a certain virus leaks, the entire laboratory must be closed and no one is allowed to go out. Although I'm sorry for the people in the laboratory, at least it's better than the virus leaking out and spreading to the whole world.

Of course, if I change to the United States, I must patronize myself to save my life, and I have nothing to do with other people's lives.

After all, freedom is the greatest in the world, and if you are not free, you would rather die. Even if the whole world is buried with you, it is a matter of course.

Although Japan is almost enough, there are still a few iron heads anyway. It’s not like the United States, where they are not ashamed but proud, and feel that they are doing nothing wrong for freedom... just like those guys who escaped from the quarantine area in zombie movies.

If the United States also has a gate to hell, then Shizuku doesn't mind directly using the entire United States to suppress it.

"Then, is that female ghost in white also the Miko of Rope?"

Hina Saki Crimson still remembered that the female ghost in white clothes seemed to have ropes tied to her hands and feet.

"That's right, she should be the last rope shrine maiden Himuro Kirie..."

"Hey?"

Hearing Munekata Ryozo's answer, Hinasaki Crimson screamed in surprise.

"But isn't Himuro Kirie a little girl?"

"........."

However, Munekata Ryozo did not answer Hinasaki Crimson's question. After he told all about his research, he seemed to have fulfilled his wish and gradually disappeared into the air.

"Let's go."

Hinasaki Crimson followed Shizuku to move forward, and along the way they also encountered many ghosts from the Himuro family. As Zongfang Liangzang said, the ceremony failed at that time, and many members of the Himuro family died here, and now they have all become innocent souls, attacking anyone who dares to step into the forbidden area of ​​the Himuro family without discrimination.

But for Shizuku, this is naturally not a problem.

She held up Frostmourne, and the next moment the banshees rushed over with howls, tearing the wronged soul in front of them into pieces. After all, the ranks of the two sides are there. The Banshee is equivalent to a regular army with full armor, and these innocent souls are the militia organization. They don't have any weapons and equipment. When the two sides confront each other head-on, they will naturally be overwhelmed and directly knocked to the ground.

However, when the two came to the end, they were dumbfounded.

I saw that the other end of the passage had completely collapsed and was buried by gravel. The road was obviously completely blocked.

However, at this moment, Hinasaki Crimson saw a familiar figure.

"elder brother!!!"

While shouting, Hinasaki Crimson threw herself in front of the pile of rubble, looked at the opposite side through the small hole above, and saw Hinasaki Mafuyu standing there silently, without saying a word. With her back to Hinasaki Crimson.

"Brother! Brother! Can you hear me? Brother! Answer me!!"

However, Hinasaki Mafuyu seemed to have not heard Hinasaki Crimson's call at all, and walked straight forward, and then disappeared in Hinasaki Crimson's sight.

"……………elder brother……………"

Watching her brother leave, Hina Saki Crimson collapsed to the ground, giving the impression that she was an ex-girlfriend who was abandoned by her boyfriend...

Seems like something is wrong?

Forget it, there's nothing wrong with it.

"He's not in our space, let's go! Catch up!"

Shizuku grabbed Hinasaki Crimson, then clenched Frostmourne with her right hand, and stabbed hard at the collapsed stone pile in front of her. Soon, the pile of rubble in front of her burst instantly and turned into a dark cave, and then the two jumped quickly. into it. Then Hinasaki's crimson eyes flashed, and the next moment she left the narrow cave and came to an elegant courtyard.

"here……………"

Hina Saki Crimson looked around and could see the surrounding bamboo forests, rockery and ponds. Anyway, the ice room family is also a big family, among other things, this courtyard will definitely not be too down and out.

But just like before, it was still pitch black, as if trapped in a bottomless night.

However, Hinasaki Crimson also found that the ice house in front of her was a little different from before.

At first, the ice house they came to looked like a dilapidated house on the verge of collapse and disrepair.

Next, Shizuku took Hinasaki Crimson to the ice house of Munekata Ryozo. Although it was a bit dilapidated, it still maintained the function of the house.

And now this ice house——except for the absence of people, the other places are no different from ordinary houses.

"Miss Crimson."

"I see."

With two experiences, of course Hinasaki Crimson would not hesitate anymore, she nodded, then stretched out her hand to press the wall next to her, and then held Shizuku's hand with one hand. In fact, at this time, Hina Saki Crimson even had a few expectations in her heart. When Shizuku held her hand and pressed it against her forehead, feeling the warm power entering her body, it made her feel Hina Saki Crimson felt extremely cordial and longing.

Soon, when that comfortable feeling reappeared, the scene in front of Hinasaki Crimson changed again.

This time, they saw the history of the ice room family.

According to Shizuku, only the most intense emotions and memories can be stored in the items, so they don't need to watch the eating and drinking of the Himuro family members. Soon, they found the scene of the ceremony and saw the ceremony—they watched the woman in the white kimono being pressed into the room, and the man wearing the oni mask held up the mask of Mekaku no Oni, facing The girl in front of her pressed down hard, and with a scream, a mask was put on the girl's face, and the two sharp knives inserted into the eyes of the mask also pierced her eyes.

"It's cruel..."

Although Munegata Ryozo had said it before, seeing this ceremony with his own eyes still made Hinasaki Crimson feel uncomfortable.

And after that, it's ghost hunting.

A young girl led a group of little girls to play hide-and-seek in the room. Although it looked very happy, it was obviously not so pleasant when you think about it as part of the ceremony.

In the end, the ghost of Megakushi caught the last girl, whom Shizuku and Hinasaki Crimson had seen before—Himuro Kirie.

Next, what awaits this seven-year-old girl is ten years of imprisonment.

"...Why did they do this?"

Looking at Himuro Kirie who was locked in the room in front of her, and seeing this lively and lovely little girl gradually turning into a taciturn girl, Hinasaki Crimson couldn't help asking, while Shizuku shook her head.

"In simple terms, is this their last sympathy for the victim?"

"Mercy? Is this mercy?"

"certainly."

Shizuku nodded.

"We all know that the Rope Miko is bound to die, but death is not a beautiful thing for anyone. If she knows the beauty of this world, she will definitely have nostalgia for this world. In this way She definitely doesn't want to die. So they have to anesthetize the girl's spirit so that she has no fear of death. To put it bluntly, this is actually the same as anesthesia before the operation, so that you don't feel, so that the operation can be performed."

Shizuku explained something to Hinasaki Miko, and looked in front of her eyes again.

"It's just that, for this girl, it's just a ten-year period of anesthesia."

Soon, time flew by, and it was the time when Kirie Himuro was seventeen years old.

And this year is also the time when she will become the Priestess of Rope and sacrifice herself to perform the ceremony.

If everything works fine, then there shouldn't be any problems.

However, fate changed at this time.

A stranger came to the ice room mansion as a guest. When he was walking in the courtyard, he inadvertently looked at the ice room Kirie who was looking at the outside world through the window. Seeing the stranger, the ice room Kirie hurriedly retreated. body, dare not move.

At the same time, Shizuku and Hinasaki Scarlet also saw the appearance of the stranger.

That's exactly...

"elder brother?!!"

Looking out of the window at Hinasaki Mafuyu in a kimono, dressed like a character from a period drama, Hinasaki Crimson was stunned and speechless.

After that, what unfolded in front of the two was a love drama.

Seeing a stranger for the first time made Himuro Kirie very nervous, blushing and heart beating.

The second time the two met was when Himuro Kirie was out for a walk, and met a stranger again, and the two chatted. This is the first time for Himuro Kirie to chat with outsiders, and she is quite happy.

The next day, a stranger came to the room where Himuro Wue was, and let her out. The two chatted, asked flowers and asked Liu (literally), how happy they were.

After that, the priest also found out about it, Himuro Kirie was asked not to go out again, and the stranger reappeared and came to chat with her in her room.

Then the two walked together in the courtyard, admiring the cherry blossoms...

Seeing all that happened in front of her eyes, Hina Saki's crimson complexion was extremely complicated, although she also knew that this person was definitely not her brother. But a man with the same face as his elder brother is flirting with a woman he doesn't know so cheerfully, you and me... Hinasaki Crimson really feels a little green on her head now up.

This naturally aroused the anxiety of the members of the Himuro family. You must know that the reason why they imprisoned the maiden for ten years was to cut off her thoughts about the outside world and survival. But looking at her blushing and happy face now, how does she look like a person who is going to die?

In this way, the ceremony may fail!

So in order to prevent future troubles, the Hishiro family quietly killed the stranger, threw his body into the pool, and then told Himuro Kirie that the stranger had left.

However, Himuro Kirie is not a fool, she has quite powerful spiritual power, she also sensed the lies of the priests, and wept sadly for the death of the stranger. Obviously, Himuro Kirie also knew that if it wasn't for him, the stranger would not have died.

Therefore, the ceremony naturally failed.

The hatred deep in Hishiro Kirie's heart, the reluctance and sorrow for the present world stained the ceremony, the seal of the gate of the underworld failed, the rope broke, and then, the miasma in the opened gate of the underworld gushed out quickly, swallowing everything, not only The magic mirror used to seal in the ceremony was shattered, and the entire ice house was turned into a place of death.

Next, the ice room patriarch who survived by chance knew that the situation was over, but he still took up arms and killed the rest of the tribe, using their souls and blood to suppress the spread of miasma, and finally he committed suicide in the hall.

"It's so cruel."

Coming to the ceremony site, looking at the blood-stained circular stone platform and the five organs around it, Hinasaki Crimson still couldn't help but whispered. Here, the girl's hands, feet and neck were tied with a rope, and the mechanism was turned to tear her alive... Such a cruel thing, Hinasaki Crimson couldn't imagine it at all.

"Now we finally understand why she is so reluctant to part with your brother. It seems that it is not just a good face."

Shizuku complained silently beside her, and Hinasaki's crimson complexion became more and more weird.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

"Don't you feel sorry for her?"

"Of course I feel sorry for her, but... But these are two different things!"

Facing Shizuku's question, Hinasaki Scarlet hesitated for a moment, and finally gave an answer.

"No matter what, she is dead, and my brother is still alive. Besides, even if they look alike, they are still different people! All in all, absolutely not!"

Well, there is no cure for brother accusation.

Soon, the two passed through the ceremony platform and came to the innermost gate of the underworld. And there, they saw Hinasaki Mafuyu standing in front of the gate of the underworld.

"elder brother!!"

Seeing Hinasaki Mafuyu, Hinasaki Crimson hurriedly shouted and ran over. However, at this moment, the female ghost in white appeared behind Hinasaki Mafuyu again, holding him tightly in her arms.

"Let go of my brother!!"

"Crimson..."

Hearing Hinasaki's crimson voice, Hinasaki Mafuyu slowly raised her hand, but this time, the female ghost suddenly grabbed him and forced him into her body.

"From now on, we will always be together..."

"Let go of him, he is my brother, not your lover!!"

While talking, Hinasaki Crimson also raised the camera in her hand, and pressed the shutter hard at the female ghost in white. Soon, a white light flashed, and then the female ghost screamed, but even so, she did not give up on Hinasaki Mafuyu. Instead, dozens of arms suddenly appeared behind her, grabbing at Hinasaki Crimson!

"Ah, I knew this family ethics drama would definitely still be fought."

At the same time, with a sigh, I saw Frostmourne in Shizuku's hand swiping down, easily cutting off the crimson arm of the female ghost in white that was stretching towards Hinasaki. Being severely injured by this, the female ghost in white also screamed and backed away, then she raised her head viciously, staring at Shizuku and Hinasaki crimson in front of her.

"I said, you should return your brother to others. After all, you are not Nie Xiaoqian, and this is not Lanruo Temple. If you are willing to give up, then I can give you a good time."

"Do not……………"

However, facing Shizuku's advice, the female ghost in white obviously did not intend to obey.

"He's mine...it's mine...! We're going to be together forever!!!"

Accompanied by the scream of the female ghost in white, countless ghosts from all directions flew towards the two of them. They all died in the tragedy of the ice room mansion, and now they all turned into ice rooms. Wu painted a part of the ghost.

"Then there's no way."

Looking at the scene in front of her, Shizuku sighed helplessly, and then, she held up the Frostmourne in her hand.

The cold wind howled.

With Frostmourne as the center, the bone-chilling cold wind swirls and explodes, spreading out like a huge vortex. Soon, those evil spirits were all sucked by the vortex, and they were sucked into Frostmourne's sword with unwilling screams. Even those white arms on Himuro Kirie's body were torn apart, and the invisible force pulled those arms, directly detaching them from Himuro Kirie's body—then tore them into pieces and disappeared in Frostmourne within the body of the sword.

When everything disappeared again, the female ghost in white in front of her eyes had returned to the appearance of Himuro Kirie, while Hinasaki Mafuyu stood behind her with a pale face.

"elder brother!!!"

This time, seeing her elder brother, Hinasaki Crimson also hurried to his side, watching him anxiously. And Hinasaki Mafuyu opened her eyes, and smiled at Hinasaki Crimson.

At the same time, in front of Himuro Kirie who collapsed on the ground, the girl in kimono appeared again——that was Himuro Kirie when she was a child.

She stretched out her hand and pointed to the dark doorway behind her.

"Remember your mission."

After saying these words, the girl disappeared slowly, and hearing the girl's words, Himuro Kirie's eyes gradually regained consciousness. She stood up, came to the black tunnel, turned her head, looked at everyone, and finally, She cast her eyes on Shizuku.

"Please, come with me to completely seal the gate of the underworld."

"You mean...you want to close the door and let me wipe it out?"

Hearing Himuro Kirie's request, Shizuku frowned, and hearing her two words, Hinasaki Mafuyu and Hinasaki Crimson showed puzzled expressions.

"What's going on? Miss Shizuku? What are you talking about?"

"It's very simple."

Looking at the siblings, Shizuku still decided to explain to them.

"Originally, this ceremony was just a temporary seal. Otherwise, there would be no need to offer sacrifices every few decades. But now everyone in the ice room family has died. Even if we continue the ceremony now, at most it will be sealed again. Dozens of years, and then it will be opened due to the weakening of the seal, and this time, no one will be able to seal the gate of the underworld."

"Then, what should we do then?"

Hearing Shizuku's explanation, the brother and sister also turned pale, and they only realized now that this is indeed a problem.

"The way to make a door useless is to destroy it forever. When it is no longer a door, it no longer has the ability to 'open'."

Having said that, Shizuku looked at Himuro Kirie again.

"So, Himuro Kirie will close the door from the inside, and then I will completely smash it from the outside. In this way, this place will no longer be the entrance to Huangquan, and there will be no worries about problems."

"yes."

Himuro Kirie also nodded at this moment.

"It is my mission to close this door."

As she spoke, Himuro Kirie raised her hand, and with her movement, the half-open gate of the underworld slowly closed. Then, the ropes that had been tied to the stones all around jumped up suddenly, bound Himuro Kirie's hands, and hung her in front of the gate of the underworld.

Speaking of this, Himuro Kirie looked at Hinasaki Mafuyu and smiled at him.

"Thank you, we have this memory, it is enough."

After saying this, Himuro Kirie looked at Shizuku and nodded slightly to her.

"please."

"I see."

Hearing Himuro Kirie's words, Shizuku raised Frostmourne again.

Soon, the runes on the pitch-black sword lit up one after another, turning into a dazzling blue light, and then Shizuku clenched the sword with both hands, and swung it down at the ice room Kirie in front of her and the gate of the underworld behind her!

"Shua————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————!"

The sword light flashed.

The next moment, I saw the gate of the underworld behind Hishimuro Kirie suddenly burst into two halves, and then was sucked into the endless dark void behind by spinning. At the same time, Hishiuro Kirie who was tied to the rope also accompanied Together with the broken door, they were sucked into the deep underworld.

But at this moment... Hinasaki Mafuyu, who was standing next to him, suddenly ran forward, and then he jumped up suddenly, rushing into the dark and deep tunnel along with the icy cold wind , embracing Himuro Kirie who was tied to the door panel tightly.

"elder brother?!"

This scene surprised Hinasaki Crimson and screamed hastily, while Hinasaki Mafuyu turned her head and looked at her sister.

"Sorry, Scarlet, I still can't let her go."

"What are you talking about, come back quickly, brother!!!"

Hina Saki Crimson rushed forward, but at this moment, the whirling gravel had begun to gradually fill up the entire tunnel, and she had no way to get close.

"It's something only I can do."

Hugging Himuro Kirie tightly, Hinasaki Mafuyu looked at her sister, and then at Shizuku.

"I'm sorry, my sister just...please."

With these words, Hinasaki Mafuyu's figure disappeared at the end of the underworld, and at the same time, the last stone directly blocked the passage of the underworld, turning into an extremely solid stone wall.

"elder brother………………!!!"

At this time, Hina Saki Crimson threw herself on the stone wall and cried loudly.

Shizuku, who let go of Frostmourne, was also shocked when she saw this scene.

See sex and forget sister? If you have a girlfriend, you don't want a sister?

Still have this kind of operation? !

At this moment, seeing Hinasaki crimson who was crying bitterly, Shizuku was completely speechless.

I actually wrote 8,000 words in this update, I should divide it into two updates...
