Chapter 20: Something more frightening

"The way I see it, the apartment making all the people inside the shrine disappear isn't a simple abuse." "Senpai you mean …… because they know clues related to the path of life, is that so?" In fact, before Silver Night brought it up, Dong Xie had also made a similar deduction. Yesterday's words from Kitayama Makinsin clearly proved that the family knew something had happened in the past. However, now the shrine had become as if it was a place of death. If all of this group of people were to die, then the consequences would be unimaginable. "According to the information you have, the people of the Kitayama family knew what was in the Guru-no-kan, and they gained abilities like 'spirit removal' after that. You're here for that reason as well." With that said, the two of them had arrived at the Loremaster's Pavilion in front of them. Like Goujou, Loxinwoman was the name of an ancient Japanese demon. To put it simply, it was a spider spirit. "It should be dangerous in here. But it should also be the place where clues can be found the most." And at that moment, the door to the Loxinwoman Hall was wide open, with a gust of wind blowing in. Walking to the doorway, under the cell phone irradiation, Dong 邪nd Silver Night could clearly see a large number of footprints stained with muddy water on the floor inside the entrance hall. This Japanese habit of taking off their shoes to enter the house, which was almost obsessive-compulsive, was not even cared about at this point, which showed what a chaotic situation had occurred inside the shrine during Dong Evil's sleep. "Elder, you're in charge of guarding the door, so I'll go in alone and take a look." Dong Xie said this, and Silver Night couldn't help but admire him a little. "Aren't you afraid? Going in alone?" "Used to it." Dong Xie let out a bitter smile, "And there's nothing that can be overcome purely by fear." "It's still too dangerous for you to go in alone." "But if there's no one outside to guard the door ……" "Nowhere is safe in this place. Trapped inside, or outside. In that case, let's go in together. On top of that, the method of guarding the door doesn't really make sense. If you really want to lock the door, you're useful because there's someone outside guarding it?" "Guarding the door …… is pointless?" "I used a similar method on my first Bloodletter mission back in the day. But when the door was forced shut at the end, it was lucky I avoided it or I would have broken at least one of my hands. Of course, details like that won't be recorded in the Bloodletter records." Since Ke Yinye had said that, Dong Xie had nothing to say. "Then …… let's go in together and take a look." Walking into the entrance hall, Dong Xie cautiously looked around, while looking at Silver Night's calm and collected face, he slightly lowered his heart. Looking at the messy footprints on the ground, as he went deeper, he even saw that close to the dining room, there were quite a few chairs messily collapsed in front of him, looking as if they had been forcibly smashed out. Dong Xie felt more and more fearful, at a time when such terrible things were happening in this shrine, he was actually sleeping. But at that time, he also had no other choice, the blood words would continue until this evening, in this situation, if he did not replenish his sleep it would not be able to support him. "Ex …… seniors ……" "There is no need not to speak to me." Silver Night but lowered his voice and said, "Also, I am not really able to protect you." Silver Night at this point focused his eyes on the surroundings, searching for anything that could potentially be a clue. There were cluttered footprints on the ground and overturned chairs everywhere. However, there was no blood or bodies left behind. To be honest, Silver Night was instead hoping for blood to appear here. The presence of blood meant that evil spirits would leave blood behind while killing, so the absence of any blood in the room where Silver Feather disappeared would instead prove that the hope of her survival became higher. Instead, this situation where there was no body nor blood made him feel intensely uneasy. This was the common way of the kind of evil spirits in the past that killed without blood. Afterward, the two of them moved towards the restaurant side step by step. Dong Xie arrived at the entrance and looked inside. The restaurant that had been bustling yesterday now had the long table inside overturned onto the ground. All sorts of disorganized chairs had fallen to the ground, while the footprints inside were even more disorganized. "There are footprints in all kinds of directions …… can't tell if those people were killed inside ……," Silver Night said in a voice that only Dong Qi beside him could hear: "The number of people is at least around five to six as well." Dong Xie couldn't help but admire Silver Night more and more, although he had also observed those footprints, he hadn't thought about them so meticulously. Now, it seemed that he still needed to learn more from the Bloodletter quest. Afterwards, the two of them walked inside the restaurant. The windows of the restaurant had one or two of them open at this time. Heavy rain poured in from inside from time to time. "They're planning to escape through the windows, aren't they?" Dong Qi looked at the scene, "That's why ……" "But no one escaped." Silver Night moved closer to the window sill, and it wasn't hard to realize that there weren't any footprints on there. However, there had been quite a few footprints to the bottom of the windowsill, but none had escaped. This was certainly no accident. It was entirely as if they were toying with these people, killing them on the eve of their escape. "It seems that …… is at least not an evil spirit that kills others instantly without a word." Seeing this scene made Silver Night relieved a bit, "If that's the case, it shouldn't have killed your sister and my wife so easily." "But …… where exactly are they now ……" "Don't think with common sense about the Bloodletter mission, they could be anywhere." Silver Night is still rational now, but his heart is still trembling, in fact, the existing clues to deduce that Silver Feather is not dead is still seriously insufficient. But at the end of the day, one could not remain rational permanently after all, especially in this situation. This, too, caused a certain amount of interference in his judgment. "Check the other rooms again." "Uh-huh." Dong Xie looked back at the door of the dining room from time to time, fearing that the door and the window would close at the same time, which would be terrifying. In contrast, Silver Night instead looked like she wasn't too worried about this. And just as he approached the overturned tabletop, Dong Xie suddenly remembered the meat he ate last night. This important clue, he had also told Silver Night before. Hearing this, at that time, Silver Night was also pondering. Himura Hanabi had used her cell phone to inform them not to eat any meat dishes other than fish. Then, it would never be ordinary meat. Regarding this, Dong Xie also had a lot to think about. Originally, his thought was that after the evil spirits started appearing at the shrine and started killing on a large scale, those people were afraid that they would tell the truth. But now he realized that he had thought too simply, and now that most of those people had been killed, there was no way to know the truth. "Senior, why don't we go to the kitchen and take a look?" Dong Xie made this suggestion. "Meat" was the one thing that concerned Dong Xie the most. Then if it wasn't beef, what exactly was it? Then, why don't we go to the kitchen and take a look? Maybe a few clues could be left behind? "You're thinking about that meat?" "Yes. What that is, exactly, is very much on my mind. I even doubt that it could be …… human ……" Silver Night had a similar thought when she first heard Dong Evil. "Tell me your opinion." Silver Night wanted to hear Dong Xie's insights, in his opinion, Dong Xie could have survived three Blood Characters and wasn't considered a simple character. After thinking about it, Dong Xie said, "As crazy as it sounds, maybe they use living people as sacrifices to perform some sort of evil rituals to gain the ability to be able to remove spirits. I can confirm that the current temporary witches don't have the bloodline of this family, so this is something that can be obtained even through external forces ……" "How do you know that the current temporary witch doesn't have the bloodline of the Kitayama family?" "The current Kitayama family witch's last name is Himura, and she used to be the steward of this family in the past, and both she and her husband were underlings of this family ……" "That is only so on the surface. It's normal for rich people to have illegitimate children. However, your point of view also has value to analyze." Dong Xie keenly captured important information from these words. "My point of view?" This sentence meant that Silver Night also had his point of view? "Senior, what is your view?" "I'm just speculating as well." Silver Night looked at the scene and said, "Maybe that meat, it's something even more terrifying. Moreover, judging from the amount of meat you described, that wouldn't be something that was simply made for Deep Rain to eat." "Then?" "There are people from this family that are consuming that kind of meat for a long period of time. They, might even be farming it by some means ……"
