村莊到供奉神明的地方大約需要步行三十分鐘。在去到廟之前,咲炎要羽星先帶他們去昨天遇到林道長的地方。114Please respect copyright.PENANAMRouWnoeOI
114Please respect copyright.PENANAfFb20cwYQA
「大約是在前面……那裡有一個祭壇」114Please respect copyright.PENANAoKiOy4F8Fq
114Please respect copyright.PENANA2vnAmVHDZx
羽星指著前方的草叢,咲炎和水月穿過後,果然前方有一個稍顯破舊的祭壇。上面貼了數枚符咒。咲炎環顧了周圍的環境,與村莊內混濁的空氣明顯不同。看起來是完美的淨化了附近。114Please respect copyright.PENANAGdnQnf602K
114Please respect copyright.PENANAeYuIYZJBx0
「這裡看起來是祛邪用的祭壇……嘖」114Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0a5NJwDj4
114Please respect copyright.PENANAv0eeaI9sqs
水月扯下了一旁樹上攀附著的藤蔓,她沒有發現上面有幾根尖刺。114Please respect copyright.PENANAXc9Ji3SRpR
114Please respect copyright.PENANAiHp7glGhpq
「這裡看起來貌似跟我們的推論沒什麼關係。我覺得還是先去供奉神明的地方看看吧」114Please respect copyright.PENANA4wIDG1xjIL
114Please respect copyright.PENANAGRam3VfM3U
羽星揉了揉有些酸澀的眼睛。自從來到了這個村莊,她總是覺得眼睛有些不舒服,身體狀況也不太好。114Please respect copyright.PENANAvEwvCR9GJK
114Please respect copyright.PENANAmHAJmyzQTa
「沒事吧?」114Please respect copyright.PENANAEpwyp35r1R
114Please respect copyright.PENANAaoAlKHYRbu
「嗯嗯,我沒事!」114Please respect copyright.PENANAjlKIpzzSbC
114Please respect copyright.PENANAZOQdiKQOFz
「小心點,我們還不清楚這裡究竟發生了什麼事。」114Please respect copyright.PENANAbNQXSilCIG
114Please respect copyright.PENANA1ArasQnewZ
羽星點了點頭,跟上了咲炎離開的步伐。114Please respect copyright.PENANADGgOMSulWx
114Please respect copyright.PENANA0LY0Hdftqs
三人穿過了樹林,走了不知道多久。他們面前出現了一座相當殘破的廟宇。入口處被崩塌的石柱給堵住。一旁開了一個小縫圍牆上則爬滿了帶刺的藤蔓。114Please respect copyright.PENANA37kdNrnp5R
114Please respect copyright.PENANAMU6aCAyUUi
「這裡真的不像是有虔誠信徒的神明會待著的地方……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAcYw14fZlsj
114Please respect copyright.PENANAbdi4Zl0vge
水月看了看周圍的環境,下了這麼一個評論。114Please respect copyright.PENANAIlrwk3M2xv
114Please respect copyright.PENANAyTDMI2Qrz4
「要進去看看嗎」114Please respect copyright.PENANACtoBh0WRfr
114Please respect copyright.PENANA61vEfuoHow
「嗯」114Please respect copyright.PENANA5sVjsjIlGJ
114Please respect copyright.PENANAPLK3hFx0Gk
咲炎靠近了門口,但是在他接觸到石塊的瞬間,一股力量彈開了咲炎的手114Please respect copyright.PENANAzHh4V3AFpk
114Please respect copyright.PENANAbIoxXLUGcg
「……這真是越來越不對勁了」114Please respect copyright.PENANAYKcZWO4Yaw
114Please respect copyright.PENANAvxDsex9lWu
在咲炎的手被彈開的同時,羽星看到了只出現一瞬間的法陣。114Please respect copyright.PENANAJts8cUJnLY
114Please respect copyright.PENANAsYrRYInh9k
「這裡有一個法陣」114Please respect copyright.PENANACFrM5nJxTg
114Please respect copyright.PENANABR8SDGSiW5
「羽星你看得到?你能把它畫出來嗎」114Please respect copyright.PENANA9fnsFvlcrl
114Please respect copyright.PENANAPxFphlF3YJ
羽星點了點頭。咲炎再度將手放了上去並撐住,讓羽星可以完全看清楚法陣的全貌。114Please respect copyright.PENANALqBZAJSVFk
114Please respect copyright.PENANA04qchjEvjF
「大概長這樣……」114Please respect copyright.PENANA7CgC5izlDr
114Please respect copyright.PENANAqxY7iA6Nxs
「嗯……」114Please respect copyright.PENANA1g4WmCerZR
114Please respect copyright.PENANAJNiajpdA1b
在看到了法陣後,咲炎陷入了沉思,水月湊了過來。114Please respect copyright.PENANAmUtiiDE5zO
114Please respect copyright.PENANACWRzxtbnen
「如果正門進不去,那要不要從側邊闖入看看」114Please respect copyright.PENANAB5KzExrA0O
114Please respect copyright.PENANAVh5ZOoCKLd
咲炎點了點頭後,抽出了長槍往牆壁上一敲。與正門一模一樣的力量彈開了攻擊。114Please respect copyright.PENANAnuJiVpUj8s
114Please respect copyright.PENANABx29khGAT2
「看起來硬闖是沒辦法了……那今天先回去吧」114Please respect copyright.PENANAhYekIryq08
114Please respect copyright.PENANAz7Q9Ey6hsR
咲炎聳了聳肩,三人只能無功而返。114Please respect copyright.PENANAnDWpGJdWNj
114Please respect copyright.PENANAIQf0eVQxFs
回到了村莊,咲炎再次去找了村長問事情。而水月則帶著羽星在村莊裡調查關於“神明大人”的事114Please respect copyright.PENANAWPpEyq8cXI
114Please respect copyright.PENANAg0MXZ5wRPI
「神明大人?喔喔,知道啊!大人們都說,是神明大人保佑我們,我們才能住在這裡。」114Please respect copyright.PENANAYDHO4RwNqg
114Please respect copyright.PENANAirsx3RaUh6
兩人找到了在廣場上玩耍的小孩子們。一名女孩回應了水月的問題114Please respect copyright.PENANAVMZhTZMq7Z
114Please respect copyright.PENANAeG8k8D7n0N
「那麼,你們有供奉過神明大人嗎」114Please respect copyright.PENANAsacuWR1pN9
114Please respect copyright.PENANA3cJHrGartx
「嗯……有喔,好久以前我爸爸帶我去過,神明大人的家很大很漂亮喔!但是沒有看到神明大人,我們把供品放在桌上之後就走了!」114Please respect copyright.PENANAVDqTTltLst
114Please respect copyright.PENANAjfNjhhrhEp
「那麼你爸爸呢?我想問他一些問題」114Please respect copyright.PENANARzYgSIAYkd
114Please respect copyright.PENANAEoplS7NMIq
「爸爸嗎,他和媽媽去找神明大人了喔~還沒回來呢!」114Please respect copyright.PENANAgrHKMiT1U9
114Please respect copyright.PENANAn4krIpvAS2
「這樣啊……那他們什麼時候會回來呢?」114Please respect copyright.PENANAvngXXt4vJC
114Please respect copyright.PENANAkeVYTqJm5r
「不知道耶~他們已經去了兩年了,可能是留在神明大人的家裡了吧!」114Please respect copyright.PENANA2VzUfXdVy0
114Please respect copyright.PENANADzMhfcP2wS
聽著小孩子天真的語氣,水月皺了皺眉頭,大概了解了什麼。她很快恢復了笑容並摸了摸小女孩的頭114Please respect copyright.PENANAuIvuTgWYka
114Please respect copyright.PENANAovEP1XzkbX
「好,謝謝你。快去和朋友們玩吧」114Please respect copyright.PENANAPnwmEGKcJ3
114Please respect copyright.PENANAJJZzCvbQT1
「好~漂亮的大姐姐!希望神明大人也能保佑你們~」114Please respect copyright.PENANAIQT2UMVHil
114Please respect copyright.PENANANnNJNLrUyj
水月嘆了一口氣後,帶著羽星回到了住所。114Please respect copyright.PENANAMmmF7kOD9P
114Please respect copyright.PENANAZn4pF9RGJQ
「水月前輩……難道……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAsNQ5g5nT2B
114Please respect copyright.PENANA1qMMBPMHLs
「嗯,村莊不如以往繁榮的原因……大概就是這樣了吧……」114Please respect copyright.PENANATaH8eCva3R
114Please respect copyright.PENANAMI6LVNAdLB
作為祭品,“供奉”給了神明……114Please respect copyright.PENANA9eaO2LR5ko
114Please respect copyright.PENANAa7RJlMXI58
水月和羽星沒有繼續對話。而是沉默的坐在房間裡,等著咲炎回來。114Please respect copyright.PENANADjfZo8O5LB
114Please respect copyright.PENANAIFTnG8cZEJ
過了大約半個小時,咲炎開了門,走了進來。114Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ4QFdh4YV
114Please respect copyright.PENANAMpQnvFOICy
「怎麼了嗎…?」114Please respect copyright.PENANAzMOEoMVHgh
114Please respect copyright.PENANAfq9yI22j0O
咲炎一進門就感受到了十分壓抑的氣息,詢問過後,得知了這件事情。114Please respect copyright.PENANAJHF2QrvgfT
114Please respect copyright.PENANAHyueQw5pWG
「如果是這樣的話……那麼就有兩種解釋的方法了……這裡的神明,可能已經放棄了這裡。或是更糟的推斷,這裡的神明已經妖魔化了」114Please respect copyright.PENANA2TMu7s1QSl
114Please respect copyright.PENANAGC4ya9sYtS
神不存在於此,或是神明化為了妖魔。這是現階段咲炎做出最有可能的推理。114Please respect copyright.PENANAe5Gk4RxLrZ
114Please respect copyright.PENANAnnlFnpCHYg
「神明是不可能要求活祭的,尤其是這種地方的守護神。那麼,就有了另外一個問題。究竟這個弒神陣是用來幹甚麼的……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAThYhb3hE5e
114Please respect copyright.PENANARBo6Emsedu
「難道是為了消滅墮落的神明?」114Please respect copyright.PENANA7c0omW31kY
114Please respect copyright.PENANAo0OkHhx8cL
咲炎搖了搖頭。這個答案是否定的。如果神明消滅了,那麼以常規來講,神明理當不會再有信徒。雖然不能排除神尚未消滅的可能,但是在就此推論下去,就可能會陷入過度的鑽牛角尖。114Please respect copyright.PENANArNac1Psc7g
114Please respect copyright.PENANARoOsKyIgNg
「不管怎麼說,線索還是太少了……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAe7qfpNYcPF
114Please respect copyright.PENANAPalax7lZK2
「所以目前的目標還是找到源風。感覺只有這樣,我們才能找到這事件的破口」114Please respect copyright.PENANAvXOPVtEmYr
114Please respect copyright.PENANA9ZSNumWGUx
目前的謎團包含了,神明的身份,村民的下落以及神祕的道士。這一切的一切都尚未明瞭。114Please respect copyright.PENANAVlOPp7cnGb
114Please respect copyright.PENANAO1TIuJUQ9j
「那麼今天就先這樣吧……我覺得有點累了……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAUPL5XUtVhM
114Please respect copyright.PENANAuGOOlxECMq
「嗯,我也是……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAWyJ4jbve3M
114Please respect copyright.PENANAxZtv7tnueB
難得咲炎和水月展露出了疲態。羽星也不好意思打擾他們。只能默默的坐在桌子旁,思考著這些事情。咲炎舖了床鋪,水月立刻鑽了進去。114Please respect copyright.PENANAZivJXcetEv
114Please respect copyright.PENANA91jGfX2ISZ
「羽星,先睡一下吧。我們明天再去探查其他地方。」114Please respect copyright.PENANAe7H2p2T9hL
114Please respect copyright.PENANA6mfCW6MnaD
「嗯,好……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAXu6Azy421j
114Please respect copyright.PENANAD07rsugu6I
羽星鑽入了水月身旁的被窩,閉上眼睛沉沉的睡去114Please respect copyright.PENANACgRAPqcg1W
114Please respect copyright.PENANAehOuqEgKyV
半夜,羽星被一個細小的聲音吵醒,她掙扎著爬了起來,她一看向窗外,立刻驚醒了過來。114Please respect copyright.PENANA2FYTmNlBgh
114Please respect copyright.PENANACaybQnEuZp
「紅……紅色的天空……!?」114Please respect copyright.PENANAZQuADRLI83
114Please respect copyright.PENANAYCh4Pc7LK9
窗外一片赤紅。如同當初的災難場景再現。不過這次並不像她所經歷的災難。她看向廣場中央,一群人圍著幾個孩子,正在跳著奇怪的舞蹈。中央的孩子們雙眼無神,就這樣毫無反抗的坐在中央。接著數分鐘過去,眾人抬起了孩子們,並從村莊的門口走了出去。114Please respect copyright.PENANA2rNiS0gNDB
114Please respect copyright.PENANAzmvxL1E4ER
「糟……糟糕了!咲炎先生,水月前輩!醒醒!」114Please respect copyright.PENANAI3KGMWncgE
114Please respect copyright.PENANAj822rtFI3E
羽星試圖弄醒一旁的咲炎和水月,奇怪的是,這兩個人就像完全沒有聽到似的,雙眼緊閉,毫無反應。114Please respect copyright.PENANANnq3JWxgL2
114Please respect copyright.PENANAc864Wd1iZe
「啊啊……完了……怎麼辦……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAaWeknrRHnZ
114Please respect copyright.PENANAs7rKdUtBXa
羽星一轉頭,突然,之前看到的那個人影出現在了門口。向自己招著手,似乎在招喚著自己。雖然知道自己不應該過去,但是羽星不由自主的起身,並且朝著人影的方向走了過去。114Please respect copyright.PENANAHsXLMqPaS4
114Please respect copyright.PENANAHU5Pu2gxsu
在靠近那個影子之後,影子牽起了羽星的手,仔細端詳著她手上,緣結給她的那個手環。114Please respect copyright.PENANAkrfVZmc5Z3
114Please respect copyright.PENANAXrbfuvf1Df
「你是……師傅的……誰」114Please respect copyright.PENANAeh1WsHusGS
114Please respect copyright.PENANAoxzsczHBik
「師傅……應該姑且算是徒弟吧……?」114Please respect copyright.PENANA0KOEeKia7H
114Please respect copyright.PENANA5tXFCU6DkA
聽出來那個影子不具有敵意,羽星便告訴了那個影子。114Please respect copyright.PENANA7lHsg2x6wv
114Please respect copyright.PENANAnIyu4Gl0Va
「你叫……什麼……名字」114Please respect copyright.PENANACXHZwbw2a8
114Please respect copyright.PENANAWVbSHBcgMI
「我叫羽星,你呢……?」114Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3s1wD7WhX
114Please respect copyright.PENANAulQAT0m3Ms
「我是……源風主人的……式神。我的主人……需要……救援」114Please respect copyright.PENANAkzxFXccNYd
114Please respect copyright.PENANA5bDwcc1szX
說出了名字之後,那個影子從黑暗中走了出來,一名金髮的男孩站在了羽星面前。114Please respect copyright.PENANAh7gVTgn1dm
114Please respect copyright.PENANA67AR72AkEP
「源風……啊!是咲炎先生說的那個人」114Please respect copyright.PENANADoSDpYomaw
114Please respect copyright.PENANAS9kgXag37c
「你……認識……咲炎?」114Please respect copyright.PENANAa9akzGK8AE
114Please respect copyright.PENANAoKJcezSfEw
「嗯,咲炎先生說,我們必須先找到你的主人,他究竟在哪裡呢」114Please respect copyright.PENANARC1IZDz5zW
114Please respect copyright.PENANAgx7IGdboCh
男孩伸手指向了村莊的門口。114Please respect copyright.PENANATR3yUTWlVP
114Please respect copyright.PENANAQJEkV5PvDb
「你為什麼不早一點來找我們,你不是一開始就知道我們在這裡了嗎」114Please respect copyright.PENANAYjcR2XRpZF
114Please respect copyright.PENANAlcD5EvYhde
「只有……主人……和同力量源的人……看得見我……」114Please respect copyright.PENANABlm2jD8S9O
114Please respect copyright.PENANAeF1vGbRVf5
男孩用著不甚流利的語句講述著原因,總而言之,他不確定他們看不看得到他,所以花了一點時間來確定。只有在絕對安全的情況下,他才會選擇出來求援。114Please respect copyright.PENANArESP8SM3Cy
114Please respect copyright.PENANAkTBPC15xF0
「那麼我們先回去房間。等咲炎先生他們醒來,我們在做進一步的打算吧」114Please respect copyright.PENANAdm2xxjsByL
114Please respect copyright.PENANAsiKn5eZFyG
男孩點了點頭,於是羽星牽起男孩的手,走回了住所。然而接下來眼前的一幕,讓羽星不敢相信自己的眼睛。原本兩人躺著的地方,現在空空如也。巨大的血跡佈滿了房間,就像是血藤蔓一般攀附在牆壁及天花板114Please respect copyright.PENANA4a9WXHUoYZ
114Please respect copyright.PENANACecYPgw7hB
「啊啊啊啊啊……真……真的慘了……!!」114Please respect copyright.PENANAfHyzD09YVQ
114Please respect copyright.PENANAg5IIB19wGI
「跟……主人……一樣……」114Please respect copyright.PENANAkA3wfdGb7w
114Please respect copyright.PENANAmR0dbgvvAe
男孩臉上也出現了驚恐的表情。114Please respect copyright.PENANA8a03KdInNI
114Please respect copyright.PENANAoG5qkd0E14
羽星腿一軟,跪倒在了地上。然而,極短的一瞬間,羽星感覺到自己的後腦勺被重擊一下,接著,她便失去了意識……114Please respect copyright.PENANAz0Z6IxmhqM
