Mecha Start, Nuclear Bomb Tokyo

The flickering candlelight made the surrounding environment even more silent and terrifying.

but...

Where is the mountain god...?

Yoshitani opened his mouth.

Looking at the scene around her, she couldn't help opening her mouth: "An Yi... Didn't you say it before? The mountain god is ready to fight you to the death..."

She had a weird expression on her face when she said this.

Because she clearly felt it.

This mountain god doesn't so much want to fight An Yi to the death...

It would be more like hiding in the dark now and not daring to come out to meet the enemy...

And An Yi, who heard Yotsuya Miko's doubts, couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

He also couldn't help rubbing his chin: "It should be so logically. In fact, I showed my weakness in front of the ghost witch just now to let the mountain god relax his vigilance and fight me..."

no...?

Wait a minute.

You wait a minute!

Yotsuya Miko looked at An Yi as if he had seen a ghost.

Where is the crushing combat power that just slapped others to death with a single slap to "show the enemy weak"?

Is this weak in your eyes?

Wouldn't it be better to say that this is already too strong?

After being told by An Yi, Yotsuya Miko, who dared not complain about An Yi, felt a little uncomfortable.

"There must be some problems."

An Yi turned to look at Yotsuya Miko.

More precisely, it was looking at the black mist behind Yotsuya Miko.

That is the mark that the mountain god made on Yotsuya Miko.

"The mark of the mountain god on your body has not disappeared."

An Yi thought about it and said: "As long as your mark doesn't disappear, it means that the other party still wants you to pay the price... That is to say, it won't give up on you so easily. In other words, we just need to wait on the sidelines. ...Um?"

An Yi discovered something while talking.

That is, the black mist on Yotsuya Miko's body is disappearing at an extremely fast speed visible to the naked eye!

It's all gone in just a blink of an eye.

An Yi wanted to reach out to stop him, but it was a step too late.

What do you mean?

An Yi frowned.

The mountain god actually voluntarily gave up the sacrifice of Yotsuya Miko?

"What's wrong? Student An Yi?"

As if sensing the change in An Yi's expression, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help asking.

"...no big deal."

An Yi frowned and looked around: "But the idea of ​​waiting for a rabbit has probably come to nothing."

"...Hey...? Does that mean that the mountain god's mark on my body has disappeared? Don't I have to pay the price?"

"That's right, but the reason for the disappearance of the mountain god mark on your body is still unclear."

An Yi shook his head: "It can't be because the mountain god is afraid of the two of us, so he lifted the mark and gave up your sacrifice, right?"

"..." Yotsuya Miko.

She really felt that was it.

The mountain god who shrank in the dark obviously felt the terror of An Yi...

Yotsugu Jianzi felt that in order to save his life, the mountain god didn't even want his face.

Yotsuya Miko couldn't help thinking about how to tell An Yi, but before she could speak, she heard An Yi speak on her own initiative.

"In short, since the other party doesn't take the initiative to come to the door, then we will spend a little time to find it."

Hearing An Yi's words, the corners of Yoshitani's mouth twitched even more.

Isn't that right?

Now that the curse is lifted...shouldn't we be happy and just leave?

Why did you take the initiative to trouble the mountain god?

"...Student An Yi...that...Although it's not very good to say that...But we, who have finally lifted the curse, shouldn't we just leave now?"

"I have some small ideas that I want to verify through the mountain god."

An Yi casually explained, and then he squeezed his fist obviously dissatisfied: "But the other party doesn't show up...it's a bit difficult."

"A little idea...?"

No.

Surely no small idea!

Yotsuya Miko, who is already familiar with An Yi's urine, doesn't believe the other party's words at all.

But at this moment, she was also embarrassed to leave alone (mainly she was a little scared), so she asked curiously: "Then An Yi, what are you going to do?"

"Let's investigate first."

An Yi said casually, glanced at the dilapidated shrine in front of him, and walked forward.

The shrine has clearly been in disrepair for a long time.

Dilapidated blue curtains hung on either side.

On it is a round emblem based on a fox.

Now that he was no longer the target of the mountain god, Yoshitani Miko felt a lot more relaxed, followed behind An Yi, and looked around curiously.

Then she really found a suspicious place.

It was a small door hidden on the right side of the shrine.

"Huh...?" Yotsuya Miko walked over curiously, then stretched out his hand and pulled it hard.

The small door, which looked fragile and even rotted, didn't even shake off the dust under her pull.

It's as if this small wooden door has been glued together with the space and remains motionless.

This made Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but take back his hand.

She took two steps back and called An Yi who was checking the money box on the other side.

"Student An Yi... I found something here!"

Hearing the cry, An Yi casually threw the money box aside, and walked over with a flat expression: "What?"

"This is... the gate here, it seems that you can enter the shrine."

Yotsuya Miko smiled and said: "But this door is a bit strange, it can't be opened at all..."

Bang! ! ! ! !

Dust is flying!

The splinters burst!

"It's opened." An Yi retracted the kicked foot and said calmly.

"Uh..."

Yotsuya Miko glanced at the wooden door that was kicked away even with the door frame, and said nothing more.

Enter the shrine with a flashlight.

It looks empty in here.

There are only a string of black blood-stained bells hanging on the dilapidated wooden cross frame that look extremely austere.

And in the four corners of the room, there are statues of rat-headed people, cow-headed people, snake-headed people and tiger-headed people.

And beyond this string of bells is the gate lying in front of An Yi and Yotsuya Miko.

Hanging above the gate is a strange looking lock with a heavy texture.

Yotsuya Miko walked over and took a look.

The door lock is in the shape of an octagon as a whole.

There is a metal triangular tooth on the lock, with the numbers "one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten" on it.

It looked like a man-made locked door.

It's like something out of some horror game.

To pass from here, you must enter the corresponding four-digit password.

This can be a bit difficult.

Deciphering is not Yotsuya Miko's forte.

She couldn't help looking sideways at An Yi: "Student An Yi, there is a new discovery here, but it seems that you can't open it without the password..."

Bang! ! !

Well...

Same recipe, same taste.

An Yi kicked the door and the lock away with just one kick.

Yotsuya Miko also finally understands why those horror game players don't always think about finding keys and decrypting... just want to bypass all these feelings.
