The child had almost no lower body and his upper body was transparent. He stood on the roof and looked down.
That's... the direction of Riki Tsunomiya.
He was looking at Riki Tsunomiya.
Is it a spirit?
Su Deng's expression shifted slightly. Just as she sat up, a green flame flew in out of thin air and burned the child's soul to ashes, causing the child to let out a faint scream.
Sensing this, Riki Tsunomiya below looked up abruptly, only to see the Su lamp on the roof.
Su Deng: "..."
Don't look at her, she doesn't know what just happened either.
The green flames must be Yan Sizhan, but only the fire is visible, not the person.
Su Deng frowned, stood on the roof and looked around, but didn't see anyone.
Riki Tsunomiya looked up at her: "It's dangerous on the roof."
The scene just now appeared abruptly and disappeared just as abruptly.
Su Deng's eyes were dark as she looked down at Tsunomiya Riki. Her intuition told her that the spirit she had just seen was related to her.
She climbed down from the roof: "Tsunomiya, you said you can communicate with spirits, does that mean you can see spirits, or you can help spirits pass on?"
Riki Ninomiya didn't know why she would suddenly ask this, but she still said, "Communicating with yokai and the spirits of the dead, performing rituals to help them pass on, similar to an onmyoji."
And, to communicate with the gods and convey their will.
Riki Tsunomiya said, "I have seen monsters and spirits, but I have never seen a god."
Therefore, she was not entirely willing to become a witch on that mountain.
Su Deng wasn't interested in what she was thinking, and her brows furrowed even more.
The child ghost that suddenly appeared, showing up in broad daylight, was clearly not afraid of the sun, and was looking for Riki Tsunomiya.
Why did Yan Sizhan want to kill him?
"Haruko." Noticing her odd expression, Riki asked cautiously, "Did you just see something?"
Su Deng: "No."
"Meow~" Acha next to her meowed.
Su Deng glanced at it, then turned and left.
That night, Su Deng had just lain down when she heard a commotion outside.
"ah!"
"Oh no! Yuanxiang is gone!"
"Help!"
First came screams, then shouts.
Su Deng frowned, got up, grabbed her clothes and put them on. When she opened the door, she saw Tsunomiya Riki standing there, her hand frozen in mid-air, as if she wanted to knock.
Seeing Su Deng come out, Tsunomiya Riki breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're alright."
Su Deng looked outside: "What's wrong?"
Riki Tsunomiya whispered, "Many ghosts have suddenly appeared in the Witch Water Garden, and someone has discovered that Hara is missing."
Hara Kaori is one of the candidates for shrine maiden.
"Where are the peaches?"
"Peaches are gone too!"
Just then, two priestess candidates ran over together, shouting in terror, "The chief priest wants us to go to the front!"
Su Deng asked Tsunomiya Riki, "Do you have any clues?"
Riki Tsunomiya shook her head and tightened her grip on Acha's hand: "Let's go first."
Wushui Garden is located at the foot of Wushan Shrine, about 2,000 meters away. It is blessed by the gods and no monsters dare to cause trouble here.
But lately, it's been monsters and ghosts.
Especially tonight, several shrine maiden candidates have gone missing!
The day after tomorrow is the selection of the shrine maiden, and the shrine maiden festival is just around the corner!
This made the priestess in charge of the shrine maiden candidates in the Wushui Garden look gloomy and uneasy, so he sent someone to find an onmyoji.
Although Peach is carefree and noisy, she has a good heart.
Su Deng pondered for a moment, then asked Tsunomiya Riki, "Did you sense anything?"
Riki Ninomiya's face turned pale: "It seems to be related to the Wushan Shrine..."
Su Muye is still in the Firefly Forest beneath the shrine.
Su Deng pursed her lips, preparing to sneak out to take a look.
But the most fearful thing was that something would happen to her and the two best candidates, Riki and the second palace, so he summoned another group of samurai in the middle of the night to surround the Witch Water Garden.
Especially the two of them, each of them had a little maid by their side.
But the maid still couldn't keep an eye on her, and the next morning, someone discovered that Riki Tsunomiya was missing.
Tomorrow is the shrine maiden selection, and today Riki Tsunomiya disappeared.
Including Riki Tsunomiya, eight of the twelve witch candidates have gone missing.
Of the remaining four, three have high fevers.
Su Deng was the only one who was unharmed, not missing and still alive.
If she hasn't found it by tomorrow, she will surely win the witch's selection.
"Chunzi can't have any more accidents!" Quan Gongsi gave the order, and eight more maids and warriors guarded the door, both inside and outside. Quan Gongsi wanted to come and see her eight times a day.
Su Deng was... speechless.
She even felt that someone was doing this on purpose, just to keep her here and make her the witch.
But it also feels impossible.
"Meow~"
While I was feeling bored, a cat's meow came in through the window.
Su Deng opened the window a crack, and Acha squeezed in.
"Meow meow—"
Ah Cha called softly, wanting her to come out with her.
Su Deng said lazily, "I can't leave because I'm being watched."
"Meow!!" Acha jumped onto the window, gesturing for her to follow.
Actually, it's not that Su Deng can't get out, it's that she doesn't want to go out.
Regardless of what happens, she'll wait until tomorrow to become a priestess, hold the priestess festival, complete the mission, and end this game instance.
But Su Muye was in the Firefly Forest, and she was worried about him. She also had a feeling that the disappearance of the witch candidate was related to Yan Sizhan. After thinking it over, she decided to go and see him.
As for tomorrow, we'll talk about it tomorrow.
After glancing at the warriors outside the door, Su Deng knocked out the maids inside and climbed in through the window.
