Chapter 550 Goddaughters
In Japan, witches are a very special profession. They are often held by pure and flawless girls. They are required to maintain absolute loyalty to the gods. If necessary, they can dedicate their whole body and soul to the gods.
By definition, the role of a miko is closer to an object than a person.
Researchers from the eight Sheqi families discovered a mysterious technique in the ancient book of Onmyoji.
Offering to the witches can gain the favor of the gods, and even attract the gods to come to earth.
By translating the obscure sacrificial text, researchers discovered a shocking news. This Yin Yang technique was actually a forbidden technique used by ancient hybrids to cross the critical blood line and cross the wall of sighs that existed between humans and dragons. .
Of course, it is also an incomplete technology.
The final product of Onmyoji is a spirit that is close to a dragon. It is a very powerful spirit, but it cannot find a body that can adapt to it. The spirit that has lost its body is like a rootless duckweed. The only fate of this spirit is to dissipate in the world. Between heaven and earth, it becomes formless and substanceless, just like its kind.
As for the alchemy technology to create living souls, it is not enough to accommodate spirits comparable to the souls of dragons. Dragons are the ultimate in this world. They are gods, and they naturally possess sacredness in both spirit and body.
The technology that was once shelved was thrown into the waste paper and no one cared about it. But today, with the development and maturity of artificial intelligence pre-processing technology, only the last link is left to ignite the spark of extreme wisdom. This abandoned technology Technology will finally see the light of day again.
But maybe many people hope this day never comes.
The eight Sheqi families carefully selected eight shrine maidens, all of whom are voluntary, which is also a necessary condition. Involuntary and forced shrine maidens will affect the completion of the spell, thus rewriting the final result.
On that day, the witches burned incense and bathed, followed ancient rituals, and walked barefoot into the beams.
They knelt here, lowered their eyes and prayed. Their spirits gathered under the pure and powerful consciousness and condensed into one. The ancient alchemy matrix was activated. The spirits of the eight witches broke free from the shackles of their bodies and met at the highest place. Everything in the world was leaving them. Afterwards, relatives, friends, and lovers were not important. They belonged to the gods. Never before had they been so sure that they belonged to the gods.
The power contained in the dragon's blood awakens miracles, and miracles affect the realm of the soul. The spirits of the eight witches reside in the world, but are not in the world.
After reading the report of the Rock Flow Research Institute, it is not difficult to find that the researchers monitored the entire process and used methods from both the fields of technology and alchemy, but did not observe the holy soul described in the ancient books.
The researcher can only regretfully write that the observation may only be completed by a high-blooded hybrid, such as the legendary Hidden Emperor of the Eight Sheqi Family and Kassel's S-class.
Many years later, they welcomed Minamoto's child back, but unfortunately Kaguya had already been born and missed the best window to observe the soul.
Only occasionally when Yuan Zhisheng was at the Yanliu Research Institute, he would hear a few girls talking softly, which sounded like a gust of wind blowing through the subway, and every time when Yuan Zhisheng wanted to concentrate and listen carefully , the gust of wind disappeared again, only making people think it was an illusion.
The ritual was successful, and with the strong prayers of the eight shrine maidens, Princess Kaguya was born.
The cold machine has since ignited the spark of wisdom. Finally, the Sheqi family has not been completely left behind by Kassel. Kassel has Norma, and they have Kaguya.
After Inuyamaga finished talking about the birth of Princess Kaguya, he asked the two of them.
"What do you think?"
Sakura didn't answer, she always did.
Sakurai Kogure looked around at the eight miko maidens in the beams. They were soaked in alchemical liquid. Their bodies had not rotted all year round. It had been a few years since Kaguya was born. The miko maidens looked as if they were alive, as if life had not yet left their bodies. These The girl is just asleep, not dead.
"Is it voluntary?"
Sakurai Kogure asked.
"Um!"
Inuyama Ga is serious.
"There is absolutely no coercion."
"That's it."
Sakurai Kogure narrowed her eyes and smiled.
"I thought that according to the cruel style of the Sheqi Eight Family, they would directly choose methods such as coercion or hypnosis."
Inuyama Ga stood in front of the console and looked at it.
"Many years ago, the grievances between the fierce ghosts and my family were not that deep."
"After all, your last name is Sakurai, right?"
"In the final analysis, the main family and the fierce ghosts are just the positive and negative sides of the same tree."
"As long as the curse on the bloodline is not lifted, the fierce ghosts will never completely disappear."
"As for these years, you must also know the specific reasons."
Sakurai Kogure nodded and sighed.
"yes."
"Herzog."
Herzog is also the head of the eight Sheqi families and the king of the fierce ghosts. His identity and status are extremely noble, but Herzog's own bloodline is not very outstanding, and he lacks absolute power. You have to use some unattractive means to make up for it.
For example, when a conflict between two organizations is provoked, Herzog mediates and muddies the water so that he can fish. This is Herzog's consistent code of conduct.
The conflict between the Eight Sheqi Family and the Menggui Clan reached its peak when Herzog came to power. In fact, before that, the mainstream voice within the Eight Sheqi Family was that members of the Menggui Clan were also their family members, and the two organizations met Although he won't deal with it, he won't have to fight him to death.
All of this gradually deteriorated under Herzog's conspiracy, and the conflicts between the two sides escalated rapidly, finally reaching a life-or-death situation.
As for the people who died in the process, whether they were the eight Sheqi families or the Menggui clan, those tragedies should not have been staged, and the families should not have been broken.
Herzog might not even be interested in taking a look.
What does it mean to him?
"I see."
Sakurai Kogure bowed slightly.
Sakura didn't speak, she just looked at these miko quietly. This was the first time Sakura heard the information Inuyama Ga said. In the past, she was just a retainer of the young master and had no access to such secrets as the birth of Princess Kaguya.
This is Sakura's first time in this underground space. The place where Kaguya's intelligent module is stored is almost equivalent to where Kaguya's brain is, and it is a secret among secrets.
Now standing here, Sakura has a special feeling.
She seemed to have become one of these witches, also in the pillars, praying, praying, praying day after day, year after year, completely losing her personal consciousness.
Sakura shuddered.
She felt a bone-chilling coldness sweeping through her body.
The bright witch uniforms worn by the girls also became dazzling, and the bright red color looked like flowing blood.
Sakura felt dizzy.
She quickly closed her eyes.
A terrible thought came to mind.
Sakura finally knew why she felt the biting cold.
That miko uniform...isn't it the style Miss Eri wears all year round?
Exactly the same.
Then the shrine maiden dedicated to the gods has been buried underground as a sacrifice to awaken Kaguya.
So...where's Eri?
Is there a being similar to Princess Kaguya, waiting for Eriki?
Or.
Will there be a day in the future when Eriki needs to use her own life as a cost to awaken a certain existence like the eight witches?
Sakura recalled Inuyama Ga's emphasized words.
In Japan, the so-called shrine maidens have a special meaning. From spirit to body, from the inside out, they completely belong to the gods.
This is the fate of a miko as a miko.
So, what about Eriyi?
Sakura tried hard to control herself so that she didn't show any abnormality.
terrible.
When Tachibana Masamune's identity was exposed, everyone now knows that Mr. Herzog, who lived from World War II to today, is a complete careerist.
But in the end, he still underestimated the arrogance of this careerist.
Ms. Eriki...has been targeted from the beginning.
Kaguya's spirit can be summoned by sacrificing the eight shrine maidens.
So, what about offering Tsukiyomi Ming-e Riyi as a sacrifice?
Masamune Tachibana... No, Herzog, what on earth does that guy want to do!
But Sakura didn't care about these.
This girl only cares about one thing.
How sad he would be if such a day came.
What Sakura was thinking about was Yuan Zhisheng's face.
She also heard the story of Uchiha-san. It was unimaginable that such a proud Amaterasu would be reduced to a cowherd in his debut. One can imagine how painful Minamoto was at that time.
If it weren't for Master Zongnv, if Lu Mingfei hadn't been the one who pulled the strings to reunite the Yuan Zhisheng brothers, Sakura couldn't imagine what Yuan Zhisheng would be like if he continued to suffer like this.
So, what if I lose Eri?
Yuan Zhisheng once lost his younger brother and his close father. Will he have to lose his sister in the end?
No.
Sakura definitely didn't want to see this happen.
Also, there is another emotion in Sakura's heart at this moment, which is pure fear.
Once Eri appears, what happens to the S-class?
No one wants to face an angry S-Class.
Just thinking about Lu Mingfei's angry face for a moment, a deep fear arose in Sakura's heart for no reason.
The frightened man could not breathe.
This is the end of the world.
"what's on your mind?"
Sakura came to her senses.
She looked warily for a moment.
It's Sakurai Kogure.
Sakura breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, indeed, to put it bluntly, Sakura's heart was in her throat.
Desperate Yuan Zhisheng and furious Lu Mingfei, just thinking about it, Sakura's world began to collapse.
"fine."
Sakura shook her head.
Sakurai Kogure didn't ask any more questions, but just got closer to Sakura. Lord Ryoma of the Fierce Demons was very keen, and she felt something strange about her friend.
Inuyama Ga was working on shutting down the alchemy matrix and restarting Kaguya. He was so focused that he completely exposed his back to everyone.
"call……"
Inuyama sighed.
"I'm older."
Inuyama He thumped his waist.
His daughter came to help.
"Ah, it's Nadeshiko."
Inuyamaga smiled.
"Excuse me."
Inuyama Ga continued to operate.
"By the way, you two."
Inuyama asked Sakura and Sakurai Kogure.
"I said so much."
"Don't you have any other ideas?"
Sakura and Sakurai Kogure looked at each other.
There was nothing unusual about their expressions.
"Ah."
"Miko, miko."
Inuyama Ga smiled lightly.
"It's so obvious, do you need me to remind you?"
"Then maybe I have to be a little more obvious."
Inuyamaga paused.
"The person in charge of the Kaguya project was the patriarch at the time, Mr. Masamune."
"Yeah, Herzog."
"Our Tsukuyomi was also raised by Herzog."
"Look at that outfit again."
"Didn't you think of anything?"
Sakurai Kogure was thoughtful.
Sakura grabbed the eight blades with both hands, ignited the golden pupils, and controlled the airflow.
Then there were gunshots.
Sakura pulled Sakurai Kogure to retreat.
Two women rolled on the ground.
The bullets were like a violent storm, each one filled with mercury. It could kill both the slayer and the half-breed.
Sakurai Kogure showed no resistance and allowed Sakura to lead him. The attack came suddenly, and the breath of death lingered above his head.
In the past, Sakurai Kogure could have joined the battle, but not now. Sakurai Kogure had just received treatment from Lu Mingfei, and had finally come back from the edge of becoming a Deadpool. At this moment, her whole body was covered with injuries, and she could no longer maintain normal actions. It was Sakurai Kogure who gritted his teeth, let alone fought.
By the way, who is this attack...?
Did the head of the Inuyama family really rebel?
So the previous information was just an illusion.
The relationship between Inuyama Ga and Tachibana Masamune is not as bad as they let on.
Inuyama Ga also didn't respect Anger as much as he showed.
The person he really loyal to is Tachibana Masamune, not Minamoto Chisao?
Thoughts kept running through Sakurai Kogure's mind.
Yin Que only had one thought.
Must live.
She must tell Yuan Zhisheng about Herzog's ambition.
Even if he dies, he must die after completing his mission.
The blade was released and turned into a dexterous swimming fish, using the air as a pool to shuttle quickly and launch a fatal charge towards the target.
There was a continuous ding-ding sound.
Someone used a tachi to defeat Sakura's attack.
What amazing swordsmanship!
A young and beautiful girl wields a tachi. She has a soft figure and a smile. This smile has captured the hearts of many men. In other words, when these men know how much time the girl spent practicing her smile, repeating every angle in the mirror day and night. , I don’t know what the men will think when I finally develop such a smiling face that can remain intact even if I kill people.
She swung the sword with great grace, and Sakura vaguely remembered that the godfather of these girls, the man in charge of the customs industry of the country, Inuyama Ga, was a true swordsman.
How could a swordsman's goddaughter not use a sword?
Sakura glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw Inuyama Ga was still in front of the console, and Miss Nadeshiko was beating his waist.
Inuyama betrayed the family.
This thought quickly appeared in Sakura's mind.
She quickly assessed the battlefield situation.
My heart sank quickly.
We are outnumbered and there is a wounded person on our side, so it is difficult to fight.
Sakura subconsciously glanced at Sakurai Kogure.
Sakurai Kogure actually smiled and nodded to Sakura.
She was going to try to stimulate the bloodline and buy time for Sakura.
Although the result is likely to be death.
But there is nothing we can do about it.
Sakurai Kogure smiled in relief.
But the strange thing is that Sakura didn't leave.
What's wrong?
Sakurai Kogure frowned slightly.
A gust of wind picked up.
It's as sharp as a knife and can hurt people.
"You two, you are shocked."
An old voice sounded in front of me.
A short old man in a black kimono.
Inuyama congratulations.
He swung the blood off the knife.
when!
Sakura and Sakurai Kogure were shocked.
They didn't feel Inuyama Ga's breath at all.
In just a blink of an eye, the other party appeared in front of him.
By the way, wind.
That gust of wind just now.
Inuyama Ga's golden pupils were shining, those were burning and majestic eyes.
He glanced at his goddaughters and sighed.
"That's right."
"You are all Herzog's men."
Inuyama Ga laughed at himself.
"I'm really a failure."
