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。115Please respect copyright.PENANA3rI5DYAGGf
115Please respect copyright.PENANAtQljWy05hY
「大約是在前面……那裡有一個祭壇」115Please respect copyright.PENANAznM8XeJJP2
115Please respect copyright.PENANAWSwvyk7uQf
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAxGnDN04Wff
115Please respect copyright.PENANAWizgGUXZcG
「這裡看起來是祛邪用的祭壇……嘖」115Please respect copyright.PENANAByb6BqADVb
115Please respect copyright.PENANArLGGNFZvBI
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAeCy57TOxyI
115Please respect copyright.PENANAQjlrzxIBCg
「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」115Please respect copyright.PENANA93hA1Y3N64
115Please respect copyright.PENANAhjJruXQrfE
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANA7CiqSVlC3G
115Please respect copyright.PENANAoZvJYG3zKa
「沒事吧?」115Please respect copyright.PENANAKlUkAIz5ie
115Please respect copyright.PENANAT7MLXsaqMY
「嗯嗯,我沒事!」115Please respect copyright.PENANAeyq2kJaREH
115Please respect copyright.PENANAJdbDmicGmk
「小心點,我們還不清楚這裡究竟發生了什麼事。」115Please respect copyright.PENANAYSlSD69Yv6
115Please respect copyright.PENANACu4FsgJpSN
羽星點了點頭,跟上了咲炎離開的步伐。115Please respect copyright.PENANAbGoQZ9UCoW
115Please respect copyright.PENANAR743QstrMa
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANA46mdGt4SfP
115Please respect copyright.PENANAUdH3F3uGp0
「這裡真的不像是有虔誠信徒的神明會待著的地方……」115Please respect copyright.PENANA5dL3w0NFHB
115Please respect copyright.PENANAdHW8EKiQYe
水月看了看周圍的環境,下了這麼一個評論。115Please respect copyright.PENANACSrmqQCOTz
115Please respect copyright.PENANA1E7nbvor2O
「要進去看看嗎」115Please respect copyright.PENANAA9NvDd74ip
115Please respect copyright.PENANAX1TPSKyNqD
「嗯」115Please respect copyright.PENANAKWcLc55QzC
115Please respect copyright.PENANAumcvuV75yQ
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115Please respect copyright.PENANAcpEgHD8AqM
115Please respect copyright.PENANAAIXcS8ua8I
「……這真是越來越不對勁了」115Please respect copyright.PENANAY0Fgj8S6e9
115Please respect copyright.PENANAqBh7Tq21FR
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANA8s4Y15k6OE
115Please respect copyright.PENANAPi04t7tsyQ
「這裡有一個法陣」115Please respect copyright.PENANA5kxHEDPAUP
115Please respect copyright.PENANAo7vtqk3EuZ
「羽星你看得到?你能把它畫出來嗎」115Please respect copyright.PENANAuozW7kxRcG
115Please respect copyright.PENANAnANNDqG4ef
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAiaLNkBVHyZ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAphbjzx4MQG
「大概長這樣……」115Please respect copyright.PENANApbciwkoIbp
115Please respect copyright.PENANA7Uoa57YNwq
「嗯……」115Please respect copyright.PENANA9mvTrFqgB3
115Please respect copyright.PENANAXefp9SucFG
在看到了法陣後,咲炎陷入了沉思,水月湊了過來。115Please respect copyright.PENANAiMPS0HvgxT
115Please respect copyright.PENANAWlnGvpC9JK
「如果正門進不去,那要不要從側邊闖入看看」115Please respect copyright.PENANAJnduv5dM4X
115Please respect copyright.PENANAlZeZD9nlUE
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANA0fDKuB1E7C
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfKXbggIAR6
「看起來硬闖是沒辦法了……那今天先回去吧」115Please respect copyright.PENANAwUHgeZsBml
115Please respect copyright.PENANAebvHpoz3kf
咲炎聳了聳肩,三人只能無功而返。115Please respect copyright.PENANAIrut6NfTpV
115Please respect copyright.PENANAatqSfbl9Zu
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115Please respect copyright.PENANAdGx2y2frkd
115Please respect copyright.PENANA3Ujm7HHzXl
「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。」115Please respect copyright.PENANACNVDTPrnex
115Please respect copyright.PENANAlGcd9TkJ8F
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115Please respect copyright.PENANAX97KNtaMz3
115Please respect copyright.PENANAcAZHb8aEhJ
「那麼,你們有供奉過神明大人嗎」115Please respect copyright.PENANA9ftTBz9s40
115Please respect copyright.PENANAM225yb47nr
「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!」115Please respect copyright.PENANAYHML44PO8g
115Please respect copyright.PENANAhFkbTJouRs
「那麼你爸爸呢?我想問他一些問題」115Please respect copyright.PENANA8HcVDoUG0t
115Please respect copyright.PENANAQtDaeDttaK
「爸爸嗎,他和媽媽去找神明大人了喔~還沒回來呢!」115Please respect copyright.PENANABGVcTUqRtR
115Please respect copyright.PENANA8Md5ug9AS7
「這樣啊……那他們什麼時候會回來呢?」115Please respect copyright.PENANABfqKCMeAjL
115Please respect copyright.PENANAufMB8bnLTO
「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!」115Please respect copyright.PENANAs4CjKwMfb4
115Please respect copyright.PENANAj4kYFxOJpB
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115Please respect copyright.PENANAj0nsOpQdKS
115Please respect copyright.PENANASmrSkkdunN
「好,謝謝你。快去和朋友們玩吧」115Please respect copyright.PENANAI1lfrvHDjA
115Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ivyq7nnEV
「好~漂亮的大姐姐!希望神明大人也能保佑你們~」115Please respect copyright.PENANAKGK0APiuAn
115Please respect copyright.PENANA5LAyO3iFNl
水月嘆了一口氣後,帶著羽星回到了住所。115Please respect copyright.PENANAClp5cbhTZH
115Please respect copyright.PENANAzR9S5zhKMa
「水月前輩……難道……」115Please respect copyright.PENANAj2dd235xYS
115Please respect copyright.PENANAIr3QPG0iel
「嗯,村莊不如以往繁榮的原因……大概就是這樣了吧……」115Please respect copyright.PENANAvWfa53mNDZ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAKF3pacM7Uq
作為祭品,“供奉”給了神明……115Please respect copyright.PENANAJYtjExEu3W
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfQ4wBoEXPl
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAcpzRAuCIBD
115Please respect copyright.PENANA6ulxMTjk8d
過了大約半個小時,咲炎開了門,走了進來。115Please respect copyright.PENANAF6HMrWVjys
115Please respect copyright.PENANA5gOALDunQm
「怎麼了嗎…?」115Please respect copyright.PENANAy1d7JBgw5B
115Please respect copyright.PENANAs6tzyJWROI
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANALB1aJMUGVw
115Please respect copyright.PENANA8bsVgE1EiW
「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」115Please respect copyright.PENANAdI7GHKsMcr
115Please respect copyright.PENANAMzes8k1R0Q
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAjjbZoGwPy4
115Please respect copyright.PENANA7u448g8sIk
「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……」115Please respect copyright.PENANAimhX1WFEx4
115Please respect copyright.PENANAc8by0GsGtg
「難道是為了消滅墮落的神明?」115Please respect copyright.PENANAO8D9Niqtvb
115Please respect copyright.PENANAukBiSfEdIc
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAIdulTmcBfD
115Please respect copyright.PENANAJJbebcZj8p
「不管怎麼說,線索還是太少了……」115Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZXndE4DCS
115Please respect copyright.PENANA5r9i5FySuf
「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」115Please respect copyright.PENANAfAC2JJfmbJ
115Please respect copyright.PENANAn5uhvlhKLq
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAuKohkJ4TZS
115Please respect copyright.PENANAgRwgc5GNy7
「那麼今天就先這樣吧……我覺得有點累了……」115Please respect copyright.PENANAgjsHwouhej
115Please respect copyright.PENANATwTvFOJRBC
「嗯,我也是……」115Please respect copyright.PENANAoRrCcKYxT3
115Please respect copyright.PENANAyYrBk7p8Wv
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAnH0kNy6uJR
115Please respect copyright.PENANAKNjMucHQMm
「羽星,先睡一下吧。我們明天再去探查其他地方。」115Please respect copyright.PENANASmBXV2XxL8
115Please respect copyright.PENANAtBJu7VWv1s
「嗯,好……」115Please respect copyright.PENANA6rsrQzSCye
115Please respect copyright.PENANAqqVbEjVTy2
羽星鑽入了水月身旁的被窩,閉上眼睛沉沉的睡去115Please respect copyright.PENANA4DUcJ9xlXt
115Please respect copyright.PENANA6NBYDuBtjH
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANA8voJvKq8A6
115Please respect copyright.PENANAGVhVDMmX0B
「紅……紅色的天空……!?」115Please respect copyright.PENANA70aYP5qCMi
115Please respect copyright.PENANA5gvNwukOXx
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAKtPO5xq9zq
115Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7RwHxpXqj
「糟……糟糕了!咲炎先生,水月前輩!醒醒!」115Please respect copyright.PENANA80koPEQ1Jj
115Please respect copyright.PENANAhHCpltUtHt
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAefvgJ4SNzr
115Please respect copyright.PENANAQ9StOgrhdQ
「啊啊……完了……怎麼辦……」115Please respect copyright.PENANAUXbChG1J8Y
115Please respect copyright.PENANAO3WC1EfrkU
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAlJwRVAJDzM
115Please respect copyright.PENANAmmaPAIxNkx
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAs6nFgJJSJf
115Please respect copyright.PENANAGyHkznvNRy
「你是……師傅的……誰」115Please respect copyright.PENANADz2pJjkeKb
115Please respect copyright.PENANAVM8nkFCDy0
「師傅……應該姑且算是徒弟吧……?」115Please respect copyright.PENANAgj7Szcf60Y
115Please respect copyright.PENANA4KXiGAQ91g
聽出來那個影子不具有敵意,羽星便告訴了那個影子。115Please respect copyright.PENANAzWhYPuRQGO
115Please respect copyright.PENANAKdS5MOKrET
「你叫……什麼……名字」115Please respect copyright.PENANAtfsh5sGi20
115Please respect copyright.PENANASLo60IraFs
「我叫羽星,你呢……?」115Please respect copyright.PENANAYaVlqWao7M
115Please respect copyright.PENANAShEuXQWKS4
「我是……源風主人的……式神。我的主人……需要……救援」115Please respect copyright.PENANAwD81x4kSDf
115Please respect copyright.PENANAdWCxknAmiD
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANACR1PXpowD7
115Please respect copyright.PENANAip4agyt7aq
「源風……啊!是咲炎先生說的那個人」115Please respect copyright.PENANAvDkZFZilsR
115Please respect copyright.PENANAyEnE7htU4B
「你……認識……咲炎?」115Please respect copyright.PENANAA526ZQlMSe
115Please respect copyright.PENANAqOLPYoHfIy
「嗯,咲炎先生說,我們必須先找到你的主人,他究竟在哪裡呢」115Please respect copyright.PENANACJkkh1V47U
115Please respect copyright.PENANAFiyZUgc0af
男孩伸手指向了村莊的門口。115Please respect copyright.PENANARAjjT3zcP1
115Please respect copyright.PENANAMXKrcj09nn
「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」115Please respect copyright.PENANAylUfhHVh7G
115Please respect copyright.PENANABgE7DiFN26
「只有……主人……和同力量源的人……看得見我……」115Please respect copyright.PENANA3xxgZqHqRH
115Please respect copyright.PENANArcNj5tt3f7
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。115Please respect copyright.PENANAqQdp95gkm8
115Please respect copyright.PENANAfcwN6JEiqn
「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」115Please respect copyright.PENANAlEN3iApdim
115Please respect copyright.PENANATyNeUgCr6v
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115Please respect copyright.PENANAUpjmgYMBzA
115Please respect copyright.PENANAjHSV8Hx1Sr
「啊啊啊啊啊……真……真的慘了……!!」115Please respect copyright.PENANAmbORzDQcY8
115Please respect copyright.PENANAKPINkTWZY9
「跟……主人……一樣……」115Please respect copyright.PENANArWbdrSv3KM
115Please respect copyright.PENANAppuJM2oR1f
男孩臉上也出現了驚恐的表情。115Please respect copyright.PENANAZekTLWnl91
115Please respect copyright.PENANAhTkrvPKuvQ
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……115Please respect copyright.PENANA1YnwJTiO9N
