[Comprehensive] Rich Anna

"Father." Chi called the man softly, and looked at the face monster and those who were equally surprised in the shrine that gradually disappeared.

The man also saw this strange scene, and several joyful laughter came from his throat, and the corners of his mouth hidden under the mask raised uncontrollably.A few seconds later, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "...it's almost there, let's go."

Chi raised his head and looked at him. Although he didn't quite understand why he was so happy, it seemed that his father's plan was going very smoothly, right?She smiled crisply, hugged the man's arm and pressed her face against it: "Yes."

The masked monster that was created again stood in front of them, and everyone in the shrine was still at a loss when the previous masked monster suddenly disappeared. Only Bishamon, who was out of the way, chased after Yato even more.Everything looked the same as before, except that the two people standing outside suddenly disappeared, leaving only a dark and decaying aura.

"Miss Anna!"

The moment my face was about to come into close contact with the carpet, Xia Li quickly ran over and pulled me back, and then lightly and forcefully made me sit back on the chair.She stretched out her hand and touched my forehead nervously: "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable?"

I sat on the chair for a few seconds before recovering from the feeling of powerlessness, but my spirit was still very weak, and I was tired and wanted to take a good rest.But I obviously didn't do anything just now?

"I'm fine... just a little sleepy..."

Xia Li was still frowning tightly. She squatted beside me and said, "It's obviously not right for you to suddenly appear in such a situation. You should go to the infirmary for a checkup."

I was also frightened by the sudden sense of powerlessness, so I nodded: "Alright, it's always more reassuring to check." And thinking of the strange scene on the screen just now, I still have an absurd feeling in my heart. Guess, but, but that guess seems to be the most reasonable explanation, which makes me a little confused.

After getting my consent, Xia Li immediately reached out and wanted to hug me directly to the infirmary, but at this moment, my heart suddenly jumped, and the surroundings of the mansion shook like an earthquake, and I was in it Also felt a shake.

"Is there an earthquake?!"

Xia Li was stunned for a moment, and then she felt it carefully, her face was a bit ugly: "It's not an earthquake, the ground is not shaking."

Not an earthquake?But I obviously felt the shaking feeling? !

"Wow——" The cubs of the Five Tigers retreated impatiently sharpened their paws on the ground, and the sharp claws that were usually hidden in their bodies popped out, shaking and demonstrating to people with their low growls.Wu Hutui's face was also a little pale, and he said nervously: "It's, it's really not an earthquake..."

It wasn't an earthquake, but it made me feel the shaking... Could it be...

"Miss Valentine! The barrier around the mansion is under attack, please stay inside and don't come out!" The psychics who were scattered around the mansion as bodyguards hurried outside, a Tsuchimikado family The onmyoji hurriedly ran in and reported the current situation to me. There was a trace of fear in his eyes, as if he was afraid of something: "Someone, someone opened the wind point under the barrier!"

Wind hole?

I grasped the point of his words. This term I had never heard before gave me an extremely ominous feeling, so I couldn't help asking: "What is the wind point you are talking about?"

The Onmyoji tried hard to calm down, but with little success, his tone was still trembling when he spoke: "That's...the place where demons appear, and it can even connect to the kingdom of the underworld. Possibly. Now I don’t know who opened the wind hole under the barrier, and the monsters pouring out of it are attacking the outermost barrier, and I’m afraid it won’t last long.”

After he finished speaking, he hurriedly bowed to me and rushed outside to help.

I stared blankly at the back of him leaving. I haven't recovered from this sudden situation yet, but Xia Li has quickly sorted out the situation. She took my hand and looked at me seriously: " Miss Anna, the safest place in the mansion is your room, please return to your room immediately and wait."

"That's right, master, please go back to your room."

"We'll protect you."

The remaining Sanriyue and a few short knives were also persuading me. They all took out their own knives and held them in their hands, ready to fight the incoming enemies at any time.The small faces of the short knives were full of resolute expressions. I took a look and stood up immediately: "I see, I will go back to the room, Xia Li, and tell those who are going to the Higurashi Shrine to come back as soon as possible. Hurry back." I took a deep breath and turned around to walk to the second floor. Instead of staying here and worrying others, it's better to ensure my own safety first, so as not to become their hindrance.The daggers followed me to the second floor, and Xia Li took a step behind and took out the communicator to inform the people at the Higurashi Shrine to return to the mansion. She didn't explain too much, just a simple sentence, "The mansion was attacked." , "Quick Return" explained everything, and then quickly returned to my side.

From here, one can vaguely hear the chaotic voices outside, not only the panicked shouts of ordinary maids, but also the voices of psychic users chanting spells, mixed together like a curse, disturbing people's minds.Makino Shancai and Qihai Chunge, who were also arranged to live on the second floor, also noticed the commotion outside, and they chose to go out to watch by coincidence, and happened to meet us walking up the stairs.

"Miss Valentine, what happened?" Makino Shancai blinked nervously.

I looked at them, then nodded: "The mansion is under attack, please go back to your room and wait, no matter what sounds you hear, please don't open the door until it is confirmed that the crisis is completely resolved."

Qihai Chunge opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but Makino Shancai nodded very simply: "I see, I'll go back now."

Seeing her turn around and return to the room, Qihai Chunge couldn't say anything, she gave me a slightly worried look: "Then... Miss Valentine, please protect yourself too."

After persuading both of them to return to the room, I also returned to my own room, then looked at Hirano Toshiro and said, "Hirano, please go to Kuroko Tetsuya's room, and tell him not to leave the room. "

Fu Sangshen, who looked like a child, nodded solemnly, then opened the door and left quickly.

I just sighed slightly. When I met Makino Shancai and Qihai Haruka before, I thought about letting them go to my room to hide together, but suddenly I thought that the most likely target of the enemy attacking the mansion was me. Instead of letting them be with me to increase the danger, it is better to let them hide in their own room.

Through the window, I can see that the outermost barrier of the mansion has been breached by the monsters pouring out of the wind hole, and the second layer of barrier up to the courtyard is also crumbling. I can feel the shaking feeling standing in the room .Fortunately, those monsters seem to have no interest in ordinary people. They all crowded into a concentrated attack on the enchantment, and they could even be called very orderly.

This also means that someone is manipulating them, right?

I subconsciously thought of the masked man who was still at the Higurashi Shrine before, but could he really come here in such a short time?

When I was thinking about this problem, the second layer of barrier made a clear cracking sound, and its mission was declared over. The onmyojis who desperately maintained the barrier could only retreat inside again until they retreated. We reached the third layer of enchantment that enveloped the main building.

And from the time I felt the shaking until now, it has only been two or three minutes.If this situation continues, even if I stay in the room, I will be found by those menacing monsters sooner or later.

Obviously, other people besides me have also noticed this problem. The hands of the short knives holding the main knives are getting stronger and stronger. Xia Li's face is also very condensed, and her eyes are fixed on the door.

After about 1 minute, the barrier on the third floor was finally broken, and the Onmyoji retreated to the barrier on the fourth floor outside the main building. Because they had to maintain the barrier and deal with demons, they were all more or less injured. , and most people's faces were full of fear, because new monsters were constantly pouring out of the wind cave.

This mansion seems to have become a carnival place for monsters.

It only took 2 minutes for the fourth barrier to be breached, and the psychics were gradually showing signs of fatigue, and when I looked out the window, I still saw all kinds of monsters, and the people who went to the Sunset Shrine have not yet returned. Come to the mansion.

At this time, I also discovered what the ultimate goal of all this is, the goal of the man behind the scenes, was it me from the beginning...

Whether it was using a magic weapon to lure Higurashi Kagome to leave, or sending a monster to attack the Higurashi Shrine and let me send reinforcements, or even calculating the timing so that Bishamonten misunderstood Yato and entangled him, all of this was to weaken my strength , and then directly break through the defense of the mansion by surprise.

I was protected by only half of the people around me, and as he expected, I lost the ability to resist.

After the demons broke through the fourth barrier, some of them were blocked by the psychics, while the other part roared upstairs and came towards my room.There was even a demon that rose into the sky and looked at me directly through the window.

They hovered around my room as if they had found a tempting delicacy, and they were unwilling to leave. Xia Li lit up the flames with a cold face, then lifted the skirt of the maid dress and took out a pistol. The demon with a salivating face went away, and sent it to the other shore directly amidst its screams.

There was finally no shelter outside the window, and even though the other conditions remained unchanged, my mood still involuntarily relaxed a little.However, amidst the noisy voices, a series of steady footsteps stopped in front of the door, and then the door was knocked lightly: "Miss Valentine, please open the door."

The voice was not anyone I knew, and of course it was impossible to open the door at this time, so I didn't speak, but glanced at Xia Li.She nodded immediately and looked at the cat's eye, and after only one glance, she turned her head with an ugly face and answered me softly: "It's that guy."

It's... Yato's 'father' and the man behind the scenes I've been looking for!

After confirming that it was him, I calmed down. A door can't block him, and there is an enchantment in the room. Instead of shutting him out because of fear, it's better to see what he wants to do.

"Charlie, open the door."

"Miss Anna!" Xia Li cast a disapproving look.

I just shook my head: "It's useless, just open the door."

She bit her lip unwillingly, and finally opened the door according to my words, but she unconsciously had a pistol in her hand, and the light blue flames around her became more and more intense.

After the door was opened, there was a familiar man standing there. He was exactly the same as what we saw in the surveillance video before, but there was no scarlet weapon beside him.There is no trace of demons behind him. If I can't still hear the sound of those psychics fighting with demons, I'm afraid I will really think that all this is just an illusion.

The man smiled lightly after meeting my gaze, then slowly took off his mask, and said as if sighing: "Annabel Valentine, I have wanted to see you for a long time."
