The light-colored moonlight shines through the mist above the shrine and falls on the open space in front of the shrine, bringing some pure and coolness.The time seems to have entered the night, and there are no birds or insects.

Sawada Tsunayoshi followed Bai Lan step by step towards the dilapidated shrine located in the middle of the open space.Strangely, the fog in the entire forest is getting thicker and thicker, and it is almost condensed into a dense mist to block the moonlight falling from the sky, but the fog around the look is very light, and the bright moonlight casts down from the top of the head, Everything around is clearly illuminated.

Walking all the way to the gate of the shrine, Tsunaji Sawada stopped Bai Lan who was about to go in directly, and paid respects in front of the gate seriously.After the ceremony was completed, I walked into the shrine with him.

"So Tsunayoshi-kun believes in Shintoism?"

Bai Lan crossed the threshold in front of the shrine, walked into the main hall, and looked around with great interest under the moonlight coming in from the door.

Sawada Tsunayoshi was walking to the sacrificial table in the shrine, looking at the broken god tablet enshrined above it, a little dazed.After hearing Bai Lan's words, he reflexively said "Huh?" and shook his head, "It doesn't count, this is what Xiao Mi told me."

"Huh? Mi-chan?"

Bai Lan was putting her hands in her pockets and bent slightly to look at the carvings on the window hinges on the side. When she heard this, she turned her head and was a little surprised.

"Well, Xiao Mi told me that when passing by a shrine, no matter whether you ask for something or not, you must respect the local gods and go in to worship."

Averting his eyes from the divine card that could no longer see the words on it, he looked at Bai Lan Jiesuo who had straightened up and walked towards him, "Bai Lan, did you find anything?"

The white-haired boy shrugged, "Nothing."

This shrine is not big, basically less than [-] square meters in total, and it can be completed in a few dozen steps.All the displays in the shrine are very dilapidated, whether it’s the name of the god’s tablet, or the karma box whose paint has faded in front of the god’s tablet, it’s very frank to give people a feeling that “this place has not been visited for a long time. "a feeling of.But the floor and furnishings of the shrine are not really covered with thick and choking dust like an old house that no one has entered for hundreds of years, which is frankly very strange.A dilapidated shrine in such a deep mountain and old forest, even the table where the tribute is placed is missing a leg and spread there crookedly. Except for small animals that occasionally come to hide from the rain in the forest, who else would come to clean it?

Brandeso walked around the shrine and concluded, "This shrine should have been established before the Sengoku period until now."

"Eh?" Zetian Tsunayoshi turned his head and looked at him in a daze, "Bai Lan, how did you know?"

"Architectural style and some decoration details." The white-haired boy smiled and pointed to the window frame that he had just observed for a long time, "Obviously."

Tsunayoshi Sawada silently glanced at the window frame whose carvings had almost been worn away by time, and didn't feel that there was anything obvious at all.Fortunately, he was already used to being beaten by Bailan Jiesuo in this regard, so he quickly adjusted his mentality and said in admiration, "Bailan, you also have research on Japanese history."

"Anyway, they are very simple things." Blanche said indifferently, "Just pass the time."

Sorry, I really don't understand the way you pass the time...

The corner of Zetian Tsunayoshi’s mouth twitched, thinking that he was still a mortal, he refused to participate in this kind of fairy topic, so he silently averted his gaze, "Speaking of it, I have walked around, and there seems to be nothing strange about this shrine place?"

"You made a mistake, Tsunayoshi-kun." Bai Lan smiled and shook a finger in front of him, "You should say that there is nothing strange about this shrine."

"what?"

"Leaving aside the question of why the shrine is still so clean when no one comes to it, do you remember that the shrine I mentioned was built during the Warring States period? The walls and the shrine here are made of wood. What kind of wood do you think can It has been preserved in wind and rain for more than 500 years and has not decayed?"

Sawada Tsunakichi was stunned, he raised his head and looked around.Indeed, as Bai Lan said, even though all the furnishings in this shrine are dilapidated and have traces of time, but the old is old, none of them have the kind of residual wood that has been washed by wind and rain for hundreds of years. A smell that is already "dead".It's as if the entire shrine has just been forgotten for too long in time, but if someone remembers it, it can still be dusted off and "live" again.

The brown-haired boy stood there staring blankly for a long time, not knowing what he thought of.After Bai Lan finished shopping around this place, he lost interest in it. He stood at the door yawning a little bored, and glanced at the woods covered by white mist outside the shrine from time to time. Some deep.

After a while, Tsunayoshi Sawada finally came back to his senses, then turned his head with sparkling eyes, "Bai Lan, let's clean this place."

"Ok?"

Blanche was surprised for a moment, then nodded with a smile, "Okay."

After receiving the response from his friends, Zetian Tsunayoshi walked back with great enthusiasm, "I remember that there seemed to be some crude tools and wooden sticks in the back, let's repair the tribute platform first."

Bai Lan lazily followed behind him, and before going around the altar in front of him, he turned his head and took a last look at the woods shrouded in white mist outside the gate.There was still a casual smile on his face, but his light purple eyes were inexplicably darkened by the light and shadow in the shrine.

The group hadn't met for nearly an hour.Looks like the peek-a-boo game is over.

In the forest, a group of men in black chased to the place where Tsunayoshi Sawada had just fallen.

"Where did those two stinky brats go! Damn it, and this damn fog!"

The leading man kicked away the tree roots protruding from the ground, cursing and feeling an inexplicable anxiety in his heart.

So many people were used, but he couldn't even catch the two children. If he just went back in despair, his way in the family would come to an end.

With such a strong sense of anti-reconnaissance, are those two little ghosts monsters? !

"Boss?"

"Keep chasing!"

The leading man gritted his teeth. They had been wandering in the woods for several hours.For some reason, just now, he panicked inexplicably, with an ominous premonition.

Forcibly suppressing the sudden panic, the man looked around, and there was nothing but a trace of a kid who fell here.Surrounded by exactly the same woods, it is completely impossible to tell which way they are running.

The man gritted his teeth and chose a direction, beckoning and leading his men to continue chasing forward.

Driveway entrance under the forest.

"Sorry, we are not very interested in the infighting in your family."

Kusanagi Izumo looked at the person in front of him, with an expression that was exclusive to outsiders, polite but indifferent to others thousands of miles away, "I just want to know that your Excellency was caught by the one who was about to break the attention of other people before." When attracted by the monsters coming out of the box, he secretly promised my brother Zetian that nothing will happen, is it true?" When he said the last sentence, his voice sank slightly, and suddenly brought out a bit of compelling determination .

"Of course it's true." A secret illusionist raised his hand as if swearing to someone and analyzed it sincerely, "I just didn't want to follow those crazy people to hell and jumped off the boat halfway. Yes, in order to avoid their revenge, I still need to seek protection from Pengo Lie. How dare I do anything to their family? Besides..." When he said this, he paused slightly, "...that is from the first generation after all. Bloodline."

From personally burying all the family members who came to Japan with him into a deep pit, to now he dares to smoke and talk in front of the enemy all by himself, this man behaves slippery and undisciplined outside, and he can't tell what he said Whether the sentence is true or not, only the last few words, suddenly covered by heavy smoke, revealed a little bit of truth that is rare to see.

Kusanagi Izumo stared at him for a while, then looked away.I don't know if he believed his words, so I just said lightly, "What about now?"

"Wait." The man named Angelo tapped the earphone on his right ear with his fingers, and the smile on the corner of his lips was rather vague, "That idiot Lieman hasn't been able to catch those two children yet. , although it is the result of my constant release of water, it still opened my eyes to waste like this."

"But maybe he can't be blamed, after all... that little guy named Blanche is indeed a survivor of 'Night of Violet Radiance'..."

The latter sentence was a whisper, and Kusanagi Izumo only heard a few sporadic words, which passed in his mind in a flash.He took out the communicator and contacted several passenger trucks behind, "One group, two groups, count the number of people, get the communication equipment, and we are ready to go up the mountain."

This order arrangement did not shy away from An Qiluo who was standing aside, the man raised his eyebrows and didn't say much.After all, everyone just watched a "stage play" friendship together, and he is still a prisoner of others, so it is only natural for them to prepare to find someone by themselves if they don't fully trust him.

Steady and inexplicably lazy footsteps came from behind them, and they turned their heads together.

"Honor? What do you..." Izumo Kusanagi stopped the car very quickly before finishing his sentence, then quickly turned his head and a spark popped out from his fingertips, shooting forward like a meteor.

At first, An Qiluo thought that he was going to kill people without even saying hello, but he was really startled and was about to fight back, only to find that the fire was not in his direction at all.A long line of fire passed by, and the hideous corpses scattered all over the ground were covered by the fire in an instant. In the blaze, they could all be burned to slag in less than a few minutes.

An Qiluo was stunned for a moment, and when he turned his head and saw the little loli behind the Scarlet King who was holding the hand of a pale blond youth, he finally realized why Kusanagi Izumo had to react so quickly to "destroy the corpse." Extinction".

"Respect," Kusanagi Izumo held his forehead with a headache, "Why did you bring Xiaoya down?"

Before Zhou Fangzun could speak, the ten bundles of Duo Liang behind him had already answered with a smile on his behalf, "Xiao Mi strongly asked to come down, she said she wanted to tell you something."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little girl with long silver hair let go of his hand and ran towards Izumo Kusanagi.The unscrupulous teenagers around Kusanagi carefully moved out of the way for her. Seeing her approaching, the blond youth squatted down, supported the little Lori who staggered to a sudden stop in front of him with one hand, and helped her with the other hand. After tidying up the turned up collar, he said with a smile, "What's the matter, Xiao Mi?"

Angelo was surprised to find that this handsome blond guy with a strong and difficult aura who just confronted him tit for tat and pressing every step of the way turned around and became like a gentle and reliable big brother next door. He was considerate and careful, and his temper seemed to be good Incredibly.

Sawada Ya seriously took Kusanagi Izumo's hand, looked up into his eyes, "I can't go."

Kusanagi Izumo was stunned for a moment before he understood what she meant, that he could not go to the forest.

"Why?" After blurting out a sentence, he immediately reacted and softened his voice, "Is it because of any danger?"

Sawada Ya nodded, "Will go away."

Kusanagi Izumo looked up at the top of the cliff. From their current position, they could already see the forest above.I don't know if it's because of the relatively high location, but the night here is still bright and clear, but there is already a thick fog emerging from the forest above.

The blond young man frowned slightly, feeling that the white mist was a bit strange.

At this time, other people from Barbara had already come over.

"Sister Zetian, did you say you would get lost because of the white mist?"

The silver-haired little loli seemed to hesitate for a moment, nodded, then shook her head again.Biting her finger, she seemed a little tangled up.

"Respect?"

Kusanagi Izumo looked at Zhou Fangzun, the red-haired man put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked up at the forest above, his handsome side face was expressionless.

"hold on."

Hatta Misaki looked in the direction of their gaze, hesitating, "But brother Zetian is also there."

"Someone is protecting my brother."

"Xiaomi?"

Kusanagi Izumo looked down at the little loli who was looking in the direction of the forest. Her expression was much calmer than when she arrived in the car just now, as if she was really not worried.Her dreamily beautiful light purple eyes reflected the stars in the night sky and the blazing flames behind him, obviously they were looking in the same direction, but Kusanagi Izumo always felt that Sawada Ya saw a lot more than they did, so can give such a firm answer.

After hesitating and weighing in his heart for a moment, Izumo Kusanagi finally made up his mind.He raised his hand and touched little Lolita's head, and said gently, "Well, then wait a little longer."

This waited until the dawn of the next day.

Even in summer, Kusanagi Izumo and the others would not dare to leave little Loli outside like this for a whole night.While she was dazedly holding Zhou Fangzun's hand and standing staggeringly, Kusanagi Izumo gave Tokusu Tara a wink, and the latter immediately carried her into the car knowingly and fell asleep.

Until the sky in the east suddenly cracked, a round of red sun rose from the horizon, bursting out with radiance to disperse the long night.Tokuta Tara, who has been guarding Sawada Ya, propped one hand on his chin and watched the sunrise outside the window through the glass window. The clouds and snow floated, and the sky suddenly appeared. At that moment, the natural scenery was so beautiful that any exquisite painting could compare not on.

Ah, what a pity I didn't bring my camera.

A flash of regret flashed through Todora's mind for a moment. He raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was past four o'clock in the morning.After thinking about it, he planned to wait for Ze Tianya to sleep for a while before waking her up, but he didn't expect that he just turned around to see if the quilt on Little Lolita was covered, but he was surprised to find that she had already woken up.

I didn't think I would spend the night outside before, and of course there wasn't really a special quilt in the car, and what covered Sawada Ya was a piece of Zhou Fangzun's clothes...Anyway, everyone was not worried that he would catch a cold.At this moment, the little loli, who was nestled between the car seat and the black leather jacket, opened her eyes. A ray or two of morning light from the window fell into her light purple eyes, showing a clear and translucent color.

"Mi-chan, you can sleep a little longer."

Sawada Ya shook her head, and pushed her little hands on the chair as if she wanted to get up, but her long curly hair got around the zipper of Zhou Fangzun's clothes at some point, so Takuya Duoliang hurriedly leaned over to help.

Finally, the strand of long hair was unwound from the zipper buckle, and Totara heaved a sigh of relief, and then he saw little Lori sitting up, turning her head and looking towards the forest outside the window for a while.

"...Let's go."

"Huh? Who's gone?"

Sawada Ya blinked, holding her long hair hanging down on the chair with her small hand, as if she had seriously thought about how to answer this question.However, a dazed look soon appeared on her face. Obviously, she didn't know what to say.

Seeing her like this, Tokuta Tara kindly changed the subject.Many people with supernatural powers, especially those who are young, use their supernatural powers instinctively. If they are asked to say everything, they may not be able to say it at all.So Shishu Tara turned around and picked up the backpack from the back of the car, and said to the little loli with a smile, "Mi-chan, are you hungry, shall we have something to eat?"

However, Sawada Ya shook her head and looked towards the direction outside the window. A few seconds later, she turned her head, with a smile on her delicate and pretty face, "Brother is back."

As soon as the day dawned, the fog in the forest dissipated.

After Sawada Tsunayoshi and Bai Lan briefly repaired the dilapidated shrine, they sat next to each other in the shrine until dawn.During the period, except for the birds chirping in the early morning, nothing came out to disturb them. The people in black who had been chasing them to the forest seemed to have disappeared.

After a short rest, the two of them were ready to go down the mountain.

"When the gunshots rang out, I was still on the phone with Xiao Mi." While walking on the trail leading to the forest, Sawada Tsunayoshi blamed himself, "Xiao Mi must have been frightened."

"Huh? What will happen if Mi-chan gets scared?"

Bai Lan casually pulled away a branch and asked casually.He originally wanted to ask Little Lolita if she would cry, but when he heard his question, Tsunayoshi Sawada's expression suddenly went blank for two seconds.

"She will probably... go to see Big Brother."

Blanche was stunned for a moment, then looked back at him, the two of them looked at each other.

It turns out that Tsunayoshi Sawada really knows his own sister very well.Sawada Tsunayoshi and Bai Lanjiesuo had just stepped out of the mountain forest, when they looked up, they saw two black SUVs crossing the mountain road, and there were several passenger trucks parked here and there.The tall and slender red-haired man was leaning lazily outside the car, with one hand in his pocket.The extremely handsome side face was shimmered by the morning sun, and the pair of oppressive pale golden eyes were slightly closed. Hearing the sound, he slightly raised his eyes and glanced.

"Big brother."

Looking away, Tsunayoshi Sawada immediately stood up straight, his face froze slightly, like a child who made a mistake when facing an adult, he lowered his head and walked over obediently.

The moment he saw the group of people at the intersection, Bai Lan quickly scanned the entire venue with his eyes.The obvious traces of fighting on the left side of the intersection, the smell of blood that has almost dissipated in the air, the scorched black things that seem to be bones that have been piled up carelessly, and... even if there is no one He looked at the black-haired man in a leather jacket and jeans who stood obediently and felt himself a prisoner.Angelo, the captain of the Estoraneo family's assassination unit.

Bai Lan's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she put on an obedient smile as usual, and walked towards the group of people who were obviously coming to pick them up at the intersection.

After successfully receiving Zetian Tsunayoshi and Bailan Jiesuo, the barbarians were ready to go back.This trip was originally intended to roll up their sleeves and do a big job, but the turn of events was beyond their expectations. The enemy leader sold out his teammates, and they came purely for sightseeing.Unable to make a move, the wolf cubs all felt a sense of depression and nowhere to vent their energy.

Before leaving, Sawada Ya looked in the direction of the forest and bowed slightly.

"Thank you."

Then, she quickly ran towards the direction of the car, and Tokusu Tara and Sawada Tsunayoshi were waiting for her in front of the car door.

The engines of the vehicles started one after another, and a convoy galloped on the driveway in the mountains.In the communicator, even though they waited outside with their eyes open all night, the wolf cubs of Barbara still remained energetic.

"No fight, so boring~"

"It's good that little brother Zetian is safe."

"But the air in this broken place is pretty good. What's the name?"

"It seems to be called... Yayuan?"

The black SUV sped past on the asphalt road, leaving only two long black ruts leading to the distance.
