How to survive in a world full of weird talk [Comprehensive fear]

The leader of the guards frowned, with a serious face, and wanted to step forward to check, but was stopped by Shi Qi.

"There's nothing in the closet."

The guard leader frowned in confusion: "But..."

"I'm going to see the patriarch, don't waste time." Shi Qi glanced at him coldly, his eyes suddenly filled with power: "Do you understand?"

He seemed impatient.

However, the guard leader was taken aback for a moment, looking at the beautiful Miko-sama in front of him, he couldn't help but blush slightly.

As expected of Miko-sama, she is as noble, gentle and elegant as ever.

Even the commanding tone carried a kind of tenderness and compassion.

The leader of the guard bowed his head to show his respect, and he said, "Yes."

"The Tuju family will always obey your orders."

After the pedestrians left, Sidelle came out of the bamboo leaf cabinet.

She flipped through the notebook that Shiqi gave her, and for some reason, this wanderer also signed "Seventeen" on the notebook.

The first dozen or so pages are a record of the wanderer's strange experiences along the way.

Later, on a certain day, the wanderer entered this village called "Shenxu".

first day.

[Shenxu Village is located in a remote place, if I hadn't lost the map, I wouldn't have groped along the stream.

But the people here are very warm and hospitable, which is very different from the outside world.The patriarch also greeted me warmly. 】

……

Seeing the description a few days ago, Sidelle frowned.

This record reminded her of an ancient text.

"Land of Peach Blossoms".

However, in some academic articles, Peach Blossom Spring has been suspected by many people to be... Ghost Domain.

She turned to the last page and there was nothing.

But after Sidel stared at it for a few seconds, this blank paper suddenly began to emerge with lines of words.

The contents inside surprised Sidelle slightly.

Day [-].

[Today, I met a beautiful girl in Xushen Village.

I have never seen such a pure and kind girl, and my eyes were attracted by her.

She seems to have never been in contact with the outside world. I told her a lot about mountains and rivers, exotic customs, and Western things... She liked it very much.

We agreed to meet here again tomorrow. 】

This is……

It looks like the diary of the first love.

But this diary suddenly appeared after Sidelle turned to this page.Sidelle touched the yellow and rough paper, and she knew it.

Now, it may be the seventh day that the wanderer entered the Xushen Village.

And every day's diary will only appear in the handbook when she stays here until the day.

The Rogue is also related to the destruction of Xushen Village. He may be a recorder who recorded the entire process of the destruction of Xushen Village.

What happened in Xushen Village hundreds of years ago...?

Could the girl that the wanderer met be the real witch back then?

Sidelle didn't think about it any more, she closed the letter and stuffed it into her bosom. After realizing that Shi Qi and those people were far away, she opened the door and went out.

She walked towards the center of the village.

Now, she's not a miko.

It was a wanderer "Seventeen" who strayed into this place from a foreign country.

After adjusting her facial expression, Sidelle slowly approached the earthen house with a family.

Along the way, Sidelle found that the people on the edge of the village were poorer, and the closer to the center of the village, the richer the houses she saw.

As mentioned in the handbook, many villagers greeted Sidelle with a smile, with a very warm and hospitable appearance.

These villagers seem to have become "normal people".

Sidelle also responded to them with a smile.

A woman holding a little girl said, "Mr. Shiqi, good afternoon."

Sidelle nodded: "Good afternoon."

She glanced at the little girl beside the woman, she was about eight or nine years old, and she looked very cute, but she seemed unhappy and pouted.

"Why is little sister unhappy?"

Sidelle's eyes were dim, she smiled calmly, and spoke with a smile.

The woman's expression tightened, as if she was holding the little girl's hand tightly, and said: "Mr. Shiqi is worrying too much, children don't have so much on their minds. Qingzi, tell Mr. Shiqi, what's wrong with you?"

The little girl turned her face and stared at Sidelle coldly.

After a while, she smiled.The little girl's dark pupils occupied most of the whites of her eyes, she looked at Sidel without moving, and said crisply: "I'm not unhappy."

"Okay." Sidelle glanced at the nervous woman, bent slightly, touched Haruko's head, and smiled softly: "If you have any unhappiness in the future, you can come to the patriarch's house to find your brother, and brother will help you." You are delicious, and you won’t be unhappy after eating.”

The wanderer lives in the patriarch's house.

It's just... the name Haruko seems familiar.

Sidelle remembered the topic of "friendship" between several little girls engraved on the wall of that house.

The first missing child seems to be Haruko.

Looking at the back of "Seventeen", the only outsider in this village, the little girl Haruko stood where she was, slowly put away the smile on her little face, and returned to a expressionless and icy expression.

She stared coldly at the leaving figure of Sidelle, her dark pupils were deep, and there was a strange look in her pupils.

"Haruko, it's getting late, we should go home."

The woman beside him took Haruko's hand.

When she approached the center of the village, she saw the patriarch's house, which was actually made of cement bricks and tiles, with a fence around it, and a few pheasants with gray feathers were raised inside.

Sidelle stood in front of the patriarch's gate for a while, looked around, and then walked in slowly.

Seventeen was taken to meet the patriarch of Xushen Village, Doi Soichiro.

When they met, the patriarch behaved very normally and did not recognize Shi Qi's true identity.

He just looked Shiqi up and down a few times, frowned, and sighed in confusion.

"Witch—"

"A few days before the sacrifice, you can leave the Ruins God's Residence, but, but this doesn't mean you run around and hide where you can't find it."

"You are too messy like this, I can't trust you."

"you--"

The middle-aged man drew his tone and finally came to a conclusion.

"You'd better go back to the Ruins God's Residence, until the sacrifice begins, you can't step out of the residence again."

Immediately, dozens of guards surrounded him and stood behind Shi Qi, seeming to be watching him.

"After all, the sacrifice is for the safety of our whole village." The patriarch seemed impatient, he shook his head slightly: "Fuzi and Jiazi will take care of your food and daily life. From today on, witches can no longer leave the God of the Market!"

Shi Qi glanced at him indifferently, but did not raise any objections.

When he switched identities with Sidelle, he guessed the surveillance and treatment that the "witch" would receive when she returned to the patriarch's mansion.

Two round-faced girls aged fifteen or sixteen came out from the corner of the side door, bowing their heads to salute Seventeen.

Others handed over shiny black chains and shackles.

Heavy chains were placed on the wrists and ankles.

The weight is quite heavy, about a few dozen catties.

Wearing it, no matter how powerful people are, they will be more restrained.

Not to mention the weak "witch".

Shi Qi endured this shackle, and suddenly had such a subtle feeling in his heart.

...Is it the right choice to believe in Sidelle?

When he looked up again, he saw the patriarch nodded in satisfaction.

However, the two round-faced girls were about to lead Shi Qi to the "Xu Shenju", the patriarch seemed to think of something, and suddenly called Shi Qi: "Witch, you have only been away for a few days, why did your clothes... change?" Smaller?"

"Do you think this is the case?" The patriarch also invited others to watch together, and he frowned suspiciously.

Hearing this, the two round-faced girls also turned around. They stared at Shi Qi for a few times, and suddenly their faces paled. They nodded to the patriarch in unison: "Master Shenzi's priestess costume is no longer suitable!"

As soon as they said those words.

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Everyone's face seemed to be strange, especially the patriarch, his beard was trembling, his muscles were convulsing, the corners of his eyes were twitching slightly, and there was a look of horror in his eyes.

"Witch!" The patriarch forced himself to calm down, but Shi Qi still felt the panic in his words, "What have you been doing for the past few days since you were lost!"

"Why can't I use the Miko costume that fit me so well now!"

Seventeen: "..."

He looked down a few times, but he didn't find that the suit was too small to wear.

But the patriarch did not say "wear", but "use"

He was silent, still thinking about how to answer.

The guard leader at the side was about to break out in a cold sweat. The guard leader remembered that when he entered the abandoned house and found Mrs. Miko from the bamboo leaf cabinet, it seemed...seemed to have seen something in the cabinet.

But when he wanted to find out, he was stopped by the witch.

Now it seems that...

Has Miko really done some shameful things behind their backs these days? ?

"That's right." A clear and firm voice suddenly came from outside the house.

Sidelle walked in and saw Seventeen imprisoned by dark chains inside the house.

Shi Qi didn't look at her, the young man just lowered his head slightly, his eyelashes drooping, and he looked indifferent.

Sidelle just glanced at it as if she didn't want to, turned her eyes away, looked at the senior patriarch, and said with a smile: "Is this the Miko-sama? It seems that the food is very good, and I can't even wear clothes."

"Why don't we make another set of clothes for the Miko?" She coughed softly, and sincerely suggested: "The Miko is the son of the God of the Xushen Village, so it's not the only set of Miko clothes, right? Call some embroiderers It’s not too difficult to rush to make a new set of maiden uniforms.”

However, the patriarch frowned even deeper as he listened.

"Mr. Seventeen, you are a foreigner, so you don't know anything. There are only seven days until our sacrifice, and it is too late to do another one now."

He let out a long sigh and looked at Seventeen seriously, his eyes filled with pain and sorrow: "Witch, as the god son of Xushen Village, how could you grow so much flesh for your own selfish desires and desires for food and drink before the sacrificial ceremony started! "

Other panicked people also cast condemning glances at Shi Qi.

It seems that this is a heinous thing.

Fake witch?True Seventeen: "..."

The real witch Sytel: "Master Patriarch, this desire for food and drink is human nature..."

She coughed twice, trying to rescue Shi Qi.

"Mr. Seventeen, I know you come from outside and are knowledgeable. But you don't understand." The patriarch sighed and shook his head, then looked at the two little girls again: "From today onwards, witches must eat frugally until she loses weight. Back to the original appearance!"

The two round-faced girls looked at each other, and looked at Shiqi again, as if a little embarrassed, one of them said: "But, in this way, the only way is to let the witch-sama go on a diet..."

"There are still seven days before the sacrificial ceremony. If you go on a seven-day diet, you may not be able to lose weight back to your original appearance."

Patriarch: "It's okay, as long as there is hope."

Sidelle: "..."

It’s over.

She made up her mind.

Go on a seven-day diet, and when she finds a clue to get out, the Shiqi she meets when she comes back will not all become... urns, right?
