Chapter 98: Response

"Of course not, so look."

Kikyo pointed out the side and inside positions of the skeleton to Mai, and in the dim light Mai saw some black textures.

"He still couldn't escape the curse of the 'Devil's Eye' by doing this, so there are marks engraved on the bones, which means that his body is the property of the devil from now on and is no longer a free body."

"Then why did he appear here? This secret passage is only known to traditional witches. It is impossible for others to know or enter!"

"This is also a question I'm curious about. Why does this skeleton appear here? When I passed by just now, I felt the breath of the 'Devil's Eye', so I stopped. Unexpectedly, I saw this thing. According to what you said No outsider will know about this secret passage, and the village has rarely encountered any village destruction incidents before, so no one will know about it. If you look carefully at this skeleton, can you find anything? "

Mai gently put Granny Green's body aside and came closer to take a closer look at the skeleton. After looking at it for a long time, she finally found some clues.

"Look here." Mai pointed to the place where the skull rested on the skull for Kikyo to look at. Kikyo approached her and said:

"There is a mark that looks like it was carved here on the skull. In fact, this is a punishment measure in the village. Once someone does something that hurts the village or the villagers, and does not repent at all, the witch will be here. The mark of sin is carved on the person's head, and the person will be expelled from then on."

"There are a total of five such people recorded in the succession notes of previous shrine maidens. The most recent one was during the period of the previous shrine maiden. The notes recorded that there was a person who almost had the entire village buried with him in order to gain supreme power for himself. "

"Supreme power. The 'Devil's Eye' does have this ability. I think this person should be the one recorded."

If what I remember in the notes is that I want to gain supreme power, then it must be the person in front of me, but I don’t know why he appears here.

"Is there any other detailed introduction to his identity?"

"It seems that there is no more. There are very few records about this person in the notes. There is nothing left except that he was punished. Even the genealogy that records the identity of the villagers in the past has no record of him." Mai thought about it for a while before saying. , now it seems that there is indeed something strange.

"There's not even a genealogy record, which is a bit unexpected." Kikyo thought for a while, then looked at the villagers who were still unconscious and said:

"No matter what else, we don't have much time. Let's put this person here first, take off the 'devil eyes' from his neck, and then we'll leave quickly and move the villagers to a safe place. Other things will come later. Say it again.”

Mai also nodded, carefully picked up Granny Green's body again, walked to the front of the team again, and led them towards the exit of the secret passage.

This secret passage leads to a river outside the village. On one side of the river is Mai Village, and on the other side is another village. This is why Mai brought the villagers here. Once they reach this place, if the man in black continues to follow, he will only be alarmed. Although the current 'Dianjun' of other villages has the ability to conquer Mai Village, he does not have the strength to fight against all the villages. Otherwise, he would have been exposed long ago, so why wait until now to still be active around Mai Village.

Listening to what those people said, they seem to have recently developed a new power that can be truly powerful, but there is also a drawback, that is, it requires human sacrifice. The villagers of Mai Village who were originally going to be sacrifices have now been After being rescued, they could only look for other humans. They must inform other villages about this as soon as possible so that everyone can be prepared and be careful not to be captured by the men in black and used as sacrifices.

It was getting brighter, and Mai and Kikyo could see the faint morning light at the exit as they walked. After going out, they temporarily placed the villagers in the leading village, so that they could have time to track down the man in black.

It’s just that Mai Village cannot go back for the time being. These villagers who grew up in Mai Village will only have the opportunity to return to their villages after the incident is over.

"We're almost here. I think their drug is about to wear off. You can explain it to them later. I think it's better not to expose Lin Tianyao and Xue's identities for the time being." Kikyo said to Mai, Mai nodded to show her understanding.

When the two of them came out of the secret passage, they realized that Lin Tianyao and Inuyasha were already waiting there with other villagers.

"Why are you so fast?" Mai was a little surprised at their speed. Lin Tianyao smiled and said nothing. Of course Inuyasha would not tell her that yesterday all the men in black turned into Lin Tai, who was trying to teach him new moves.

"We used some methods and quickly dealt with those men in black, but what should we do now?"

"There is another village across the river. We can resettle the villagers when we get there, but he doesn't seem to be human."

Mai's eyes stayed on Inuyasha. This monster has the smell of humans and monsters. It is probably a half-demon. No matter what, a monster entering the village will definitely cause a commotion. They have not made it clear to the miko here. His identity was probably kicked out.

"Who said I would follow you in! I don't want to enter a human village!"

This is not the first time that Inuyasha has been discriminated against by humans and monsters. He has been bullied everywhere because of his half-demon status since he was a child. Lin Tianyao also knows that he feels uncomfortable, but he is a man after all, and it is not good for him to feel this pain. 'Soothing' can only allow him to calm down slowly.

"Inuyasha, you're lying in ambush nearby. We'll come back immediately after we've settled the villagers. If there are men in black chasing you, don't do anything yet. See if they will enter the next village. If not, wait until we Make plans when you come back. If you go, remember to inform me as soon as possible.”

After Lin Tianyao finished speaking, he patted InuYasha on the shoulder. Under his calm eyes, InuYasha nodded with difficulty. As a half-demon, it was not easy for him to be willing to cooperate with humans. ....
