Chapter 357: Why Didn’t You Stay?
"Then how do you explain the tremors you felt in your dream? It's exactly the same as an earthquake!"
Erina was still not convinced.
Therefore, he asked unwillingly.
Yi Xing really has no clue about this issue.
Therefore, he was in a dilemma for a while, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of any reasonable explanation.
Even if Asakura joined the discussion after returning with breakfast, he did not contribute any valuable ideas.
This dream has become the main topic of discussion in the group club during the past three days.
Everyone came up with various explanations.
Many of these explanations are horrifying.
But none of them are supported by evidence. So it's impossible to find out the truth.
And Erina doesn’t have such dreams anymore.
Therefore, it seems that there is no way to understand this dream.
After all, Erina couldn't even remember a word that Lady Erika said. There is no way to reason. It will only give people a deep sense of powerlessness.
At present, it is the latest idea proposed by Erina herself, and everyone thinks it is more likely.
That is... the first generation of Underworld Miko-sama was warning her like this.
A series of disasters are happening, and the door to hell is about to open again.
And this big earthquake and the strange disease that makes people fall into sleep are just the beginning.
The eldest lady is not making baseless guesses.
More than 1,200 years ago, in the years before the Gate of Underworld was opened, strange things happened frequently and natural disasters continued.
However, once this conjecture is consistent, it is too terrifying.
Because that means Hades Izanami is coming back.
When Yi Xing thought about what would happen next, he would feel a coldness welling up from his heart and penetrating into his bones.
After making this assumption, Erina laughed and said, "Oh, it's impossible. How can it be possible to open the door? I obviously pray hard every day to strengthen the seal!", but she still seemed a little nervous afterwards.
...Originally, Yi Xing had actually thought about going in that direction.
He probably guessed that the eldest lady had thought about it, but was too scared to say it.
That's what Erika-sama is saying...
Could it be "I can't hold on anymore"?
Because the key to sealing the Underworld Gate lies in whether Erika Yida, who is the core of the great seal, can persevere.
Once the first-generation underworld witch cannot bear the endless torture and chooses to give up, no matter how powerful the seal is imposed by the outside world, the door to underworld will still open.
At that time, if the Gate of Underworld wants to be sealed again, the only way is to defeat Hades again, and then let the new Miko of Underworld be the core of the circle, replacing Erika, and be sealed behind the door.
…it’s self-evident what this means.
Moreover, it is very likely that the second step that Yoshiyuki and Erina are afraid of will not come true.
Because if you want to sacrifice, you have to beat Izanami.
It was almost a miracle that we won last time. It was only when the sneak attacks and traps were successfully effective that the Gate of Underworld was successfully sealed at the cost of huge casualties.
Expecting to win this time is basically a fantasy.
Izanami is not only a native Japanese god, but also the main god. He even has the highest rank among the main gods.
This means that except for the great god Izanagi, no other god can stand up to him when fighting on the land of Japan in the eternal world.
And expecting Izanagi to save the world is even more unrealistic.
It's not because he's equally hostile to humans.
It's because a long time ago, the great god Izanagi disappeared.
No one knows where he went.
In fact, everyone present was already familiar with the important events of the Underworld Witch and the Battle of the Sealed Gate. Probably they and Xiaoji were not the only ones who thought of this.
However, no one dared to express this idea.
It seems that as long as you say this, it will come true.
Yoshiyuki tried to ask something from Demon Sword Princess.
Such as this question.
"Xiaoji, what do you think of this dream?"
Demon Sword Girl was silent about this.
And this reaction itself illustrates a certain problem.
What does Xiao Ji know?
Did she travel back in time because she failed to stop the door from opening?
Or...does she know any deeper secrets and conspiracies?
"Hey." Asakura hesitated for a long time, and finally asked nervously: "Can we ask you a question? But you can't hit me."
Erina: "Just ask."
Asakura: "First of all, we would like to ask...buchou why are you so sure that is Lady Erika?"
Erina: "I don't know either, but I just know she is! By the way, I mentioned this at the beginning, right?"
Asakura: "It's really just a feeling, right? Because you can't see the face?"
Erina: "Yes, what's wrong? It's normal to not be able to see the other person's face in a dream. It's just that you know who she is, that's enough!"
Asakura: "That's true...but we still feel weird."
Asakura: "Because, don't you know what Erika-sama looks like?"
Erina: "I don't know. Although I am the Underworld Miko, that doesn't mean I can see her."
Asakura: "No, no, we didn't mean for you to see it with your own eyes!"
Asakura: "I thought you should have seen Erika's appearance from paintings and statues."
Asakura: "As the underworld shrine maiden, shouldn't we have learned this? As outsiders, we really have no chance to see it, but at least the Yida family should have something in this area to help future generations remember what this hero looks like, right?"
Erina: "Even if you say so, what doesn't exist means it doesn't exist!"
Erina: "It's been so long. Isn't it normal that there are no paintings left?"
Erina: "Basically, the paintings from that time are completely different! Even if I keep them, there's no point in them, right?"
Asakura: "Hmm... But there are also people who use spiritual power to paint? The effect can be almost the same as the photo!"
Asakura: "Not to mention how much time was spent on the journey during the Battle of Seal, at least Lady Erika stayed in Yida Village for several days before the final battle, right? Knowing that she was going to die, even the deputy commander It’s really suspicious that no portrait is left as a souvenir...
Asakura: "Even if it's just the most common ancient painting, it should usually be preserved for future generations to admire, right?"
Asakura: "How come you haven't even seen her... I feel like it just doesn't make sense..."
This is indeed a bit strange.
Yoshiyuki had long thought this was strange.
Including Genichiro Maekawa, the first guardian of the underworld shrine maiden, there was no portrait or anything else left to prove his appearance.
However, subsequent dynasties of Huangquan Miko and Maekawa have portraits and so on as commemorations. When the camera appears, it also takes pictures.
So for what purpose were there no portraits or sculptures left?
