Halfway through her sentence, the little butterfly spirit fell silent. She hugged Qiu Shuiyiren's leg, looking conflicted, and said, "Father, please don't ask any more questions. I don't know why, but we don't want to bring this up."
Not only her, but none of the shikigami here wanted to mention this matter.
"Then I won't mention it."
"Autumn Water Beauty" said, rummaging in her pocket and taking out two blue talismans, which she waved in front of them.
"Look, what is this?"
Wow! It's a summoning circle!
The little butterfly spirit said happily.
"We recently have some new friends in Heian-kyo. I'm going to invite them. Let's all come together!"
Qiu Shuiyi stood up, forcing a smile onto her face, even though her mind was in turmoil.
"Let's go."
The hair-eating demon stood up and followed her.
They entered the summoning pool, and Qiu Shui stood directly in front of the summoning circle, solemnly placing the talisman in her hand, golden spiritual power emanating from between her fingers.
"Hurry, hurry, as you wish!"
The talisman floated away lightly.
Qiu Shui's eyes were tightly closed.
If there really is a god here, please give my baby back to me.
"brush……"
Two figures appeared before them at the same time. Qiu Shui opened her eyes, saw their appearance, and a look of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
"Welcome, I am the Onmyoji here, Qiushui Yiren."
She walked over to them and said.
The newly arrived Enma and Higanbana exchanged a glance. Enma, sitting on a cloud, blankly extended his hand to her.
"So it was you who summoned me? It's a pleasure to meet you, Onmyoji. Now, please accept my loyalty!"
Qiushui was stunned when she heard these seemingly pre-planned words from Enma.
Just then, the shikigami Enma slowly passed by her, floated out of the summoning pool, and then found a place to sit down in the courtyard, even though it was pouring rain there.
Turning her gaze away from the pale-faced spider lily in front of her, Qiu Shuiyi noticed that it wasn't as dazed as Yama; its gaze fell on the spider lily beside it.
The spider lily beside her stared at her with the same expressionless face.
"Hello, Onmyoji, do you need any more spider lilies here?"
The red spider lily's hands hung at her sides, and her body shrank, her white body trembling slightly, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"A white SP."
The hair-eating demon looked at her. Father had wanted a SP for a long time, and his gaze fell on the beautiful woman.
However, Qiu Shuiyiren did not seem as happy as he had imagined; her brows were furrowed.
After being stared at for a long time, Qiu Shuiyiren made up her mind and slowly said, "I'm sorry, Higanbana. I don't need any shikigami here. Please leave."
"Father..."
Ghostly Black called her name softly.
The spider lily remained silent; she had been prepared before even seeing the onmyoji. Now, having received her orders, she returned to the summoning pool and left.
The judge understood.
"Father, what about the one in the courtyard?"
"Go and talk to her."
“It’s no use,” Ibaraki-dōji said sullenly. “I’ve tried, but they don’t say a word except when they talk to the Onmyoji.”
"What exactly are they?" Qiu Shuiyi asked. "Puppets?"
The room was filled with silent shikigami.
...
People from the past have left, but life goes on. Shusui maintains the number of seventeen shikigami in the guild, leading them to live peacefully in Heian-kyo.
Because she needed to take care of the shikigami, she took a few days off from the Machinery House to stay home and care for her injured friend, Shen Shiyang, and the shikigami in Heian-kyo who were suffering from psychological trauma.
Just as she began to focus her life on Heian-kyo, a sudden phone call disrupted her plans.
"Hello? Are you alright?"
Qiu Shui was somewhat surprised that the call came from Yue Qunshu.
"After disappearing for so long, you finally decided to call me?" Her tone was very bad, and she was in a terrible mood.
She had many questions to ask him.
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone. Yue Qunshu lowered his voice and said, "You should already know where I am, right? Luo Yi isn't safe lately, so you'd better not show up in Central City or the Machinery Museum."
"How do you know I can enter the central city?" Qiu Shui asked back.
Yue Qunshu didn't say anything; he hung up the phone directly, leaving Qiu Shui on the other end, constantly speculating. When she called back, he didn't answer.
"That's strange."
Qiu Shui put down the bracelet, and at the same time, a message from the Mechanical Museum appeared in front of her.
[Ms. Luo, please come to the Mechanical Engineering Hall before 6 PM. We have an important competition result to announce.]
After reading the message, Qiu Shui frowned.
One person told her not to leave, while the other told her to leave as soon as possible. Should she stay or leave?
Thinking it over, she changed into her coat in the spirit of dedication and integrity, and set off for the machinery museum with the housekeeper, while Rouya stayed behind to look after the house.
Sitting in the flying car, Qiu Shui looked around at the familiar skyscrapers. Suddenly, amidst the layers of towering buildings, she spotted a familiar figure.
"Butler, stop!" she said.
The flying car stopped, and Qiu Shui looked again at the place where she had just found Yue Qunshu, only to find that it was empty.
"Miss?"
The housekeeper called her.
"Let's keep going," Qiu Shui said.
She rubbed her temples, feeling that something big was about to happen today.
As the peak travel season was approaching, the flying car quickly entered the underground garage of the mechanical hall. Just as the flying car entered the underground parking garage, a message quickly appeared in front of the many black witches.
"Negotiations have failed! Luo Xiaoyu has broken his promise and remains obstinate! Take action!"
Stepping off the flying car, Qiu Shui skillfully set up an invisible particle wall around her body. The butler, changing color like a chameleon, followed beside her.
They stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor. As the elevator slowly ascended, Qiu Shui was preoccupied with many things and was multitasking.
Ten seconds later, the elevator reached the first floor. Qiu Shui stepped out of the elevator and entered the lobby where the contestants entered the competition venue.
The match had ended about ten minutes earlier, and people were gradually entering the room via the elevator, preparing to leave.
Qiu Shui walked into the hall. There were quite a few people in the hall, but not too many. She walked among them, maintaining a distance of several meters from the people in front of and behind her.
"Butler, contact the curator of the Mechanical Museum."
Feeling the people coming and going around her, Qiu Shui regained some consciousness and instructed the electronic butler to do its job.
"Currently being searched..."
As Qiu Shui took a step toward the stadium gate, the electronic butler suddenly emitted a loud noise that she could clearly hear.
"What's wrong?"
"Beep beep...beep beep..."
The electronic butler is still making noise.
After a while, the electronic butler explained, "A short electrical current just now disrupted electronic communication and signals here. I'm trying to make a call again."
Qiu Shui nodded.
A few seconds passed.
"Beep beep...beep beep..."
"What's wrong now?"
Qiu Shui stopped again and asked.
The electronic butler didn't answer, and Qiu Shui looked up at it.
