Chapter 404: Hundred-Eyed Demon Sword
The abandoned shrine is naturally unattended. The stone steps, full of traces of time, have long been covered with fallen leaves and moss. The smell of rain mixed with soil and humus always lingers in the mouth and nose. The untrimmed trees on both sides extend their dense branches and leaves upwards, making shadows of various shapes change with the mountain breeze.

When we reached the top of the mountain, the lingering smell of fireworks was just like the ruins before us, which had not yet been completely erased by time.

The Severed Head Shrine was not very big, but it had everything it should have. However, everything had been burned down, leaving only carbonized remains and a black stone base that could not be washed away even by rain.

"It's burned too cleanly." Noshita Yuji said in surprise. The shrine was not very compact, so it would be impossible for it to burn like this without any human factors.

"It's a pity that it's been too long, and even if there were any clues, we can't find them now." Aiba Misao also found something wrong, but what made him feel strange was that the information he collected all said that it was an accidental fire. Obviously someone deliberately covered up the truth.

"There are a lot of footprints on the ground. It seems that we are not the first to come here." Yuji Noshita's keen senses allowed him to distinguish that many people had come here one after another, and they were not policemen and firefighters, but more like young people like them, who explored here out of curiosity or profit. Therefore, he was inevitably a little disappointed, because he didn't think there was any value here after so many people searched here.

"Don't be careless, urban legends are not something that can be reasoned with." Aiba Misaki wore black high boots, which revealed the slender curve of her calves and made her thighs under the short skirt look even whiter and tenderer. With the golden and pink magic wand in her hand, she looked like a magical girl who was ready to fight monsters, making the fans in the live broadcast room exclaim that she was so awesome. Many otakus said that if they were given the chance, they could lick the high boots into patent leather.

"Hi! I'll be careful!" Noshita Yuji nodded seriously, then pointed the camera at the surroundings and began to shoot the desolate and gloomy scenery. While adding a sense of atmosphere to the live broadcast room, it can also provide more materials for later editing. It's just that the audience in the live broadcast room didn't give him face. They asked you to lower your head just now, but you didn't, and now you still can't grasp the focus of the shooting. They came to see the background, they came to see Wang Gang.

Yan Xu actually pays attention to every live broadcast of Aiba Misao. It’s not that he likes to watch it, but mainly because all kinds of messy beliefs will flood in at this time, which makes him very annoyed. It was only recently that it got better. At least those people prayed for the blessing of the ghost gate master instead of having all kinds of delusions about the anchor. By the way, why are the otakus and housegirls in the island country so interested in helping this and that?

To be honest, the contents of the prayers of those otaku believers are basically not allowed to be broadcast. If they are integrated into the little emperor uncle, anyone who wanders around with a knife on a rainy night will have to admit defeat.

These mixed beliefs of otaku's fantasies are simply polluting, so Yan Xu threw them all to Aiba Misao, but he forgot one thing. The object of these fantasy beliefs was originally Aiba Misao, so Aiba Misao would get twice the result with half the effort when using them, but he himself would inevitably be polluted and distorted by those fantasy beliefs in the process of use. If this continues, Yan Xu is afraid that Aiba Misao will be ruined, even though something is already very wrong now.

Before, Aiba Mio relied on her naturally small frame, thin figure, and superb makeup and dressing skills to become a rare Nan girl, attracting a large number of LSPs.

But now, although his skeleton and muscles have become stronger, they have become more rounded and lack edges. The proportion of body fat and the location of its accumulation have also undergone subtle changes.

Aiba Misao was not unaware of this, but he regarded it as the price of gaining power. After all, he became stronger in some aspects, from the Japanese style to the European and American style, and even surpassed the Western average level. So every time he went to the toilet, he could use his unique skill of putting his hands on his hips.

However, this time Yan Xu's focus was not on Aiba Meisheng, but on the space layer at the location of the shrine ruins. The world membrane isolates super-sized beings such as gods and spirits from the outside and protects weak mortals from the inside, but everything is not polarized, there are always some things in between, such as the demon sword Baime.

From gaining a hint of supernatural powers by beheading sinners to creating extraordinary properties through long-term worship and legends, the original Hundred-Eyed Demon Sword did not have the qualifications to be expelled. Although it did later, just like it is extremely difficult for gods to enter the human world, the human world after the formation of the world membrane cannot easily expel the existence of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Sword, because whether entering or exiting, it is a kind of damage to the world membrane, so the interlayer appears.

The true form of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Sword is in the world, but most of its spirituality is in the interlayer, forming a semi-sealed state.

However, with the revival of spiritual energy and the constant manipulation and testing of the world membrane by the gods outside the domain, although the world membrane will not become riddled with holes, weak spots are inevitable.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Sword seized this opportunity and destroyed the shrine that was used for both sacrifice and sealing, hoping to infiltrate the spirituality in the interlayer into the real world and merge it with the original body.

Yan Xu is now staring at the slime covered with eyes, watching it trying its best to get out of the gap, but because it is clamped too tightly, it is very difficult and needs to rely on the power of the real world.

"The flesh and blood of sinners can lubricate, the sinful souls can fill your stomach, go chop off those sinful heads, and use blood to quell the anger and desire in your heart!"

The manic voice kept echoing in Kawaguchi Megumi's mind, and at the same time, the illusion of a sharp blade cutting off a human head appeared repeatedly. Amid the gushing blood, her desire to reap lives grew stronger and stronger, but she held the Hundred-Eyed Demon Sword in her hand even tighter, not daring to relax at all, because she knew very well that once the demon sword broke free and found a new host, she would immediately become a murderer, because in the eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Sword, there is no one without sin.

"No, they are not sinners!" The tattered shrine maiden costume could hardly cover the severe burns on her body. The proliferating scars made her, who was once called the shrine maiden flower, look like a withered flower trampled in the mud. Even though a year had passed since the disaster, her body and mind, which had suffered from stress and hardship, had not recovered at all, but had become even worse. However, Kawaguchi Megumi was still persisting with her strong willpower and was unwilling to use the demon sword to cut ordinary people because their crimes did not deserve the death penalty.

"Haha, open your eyes and take a good look, they are not human!" Baimu said excitedly, because it had a hunch that today was a good opportunity to break through this woman's body and mind. By then, it would be able to completely occupy the other's body and have the ability to move freely in the world, which was extremely tempting for a knife without hands and feet.

No matter how strong her will was, she could not resist the torture that lasted for a year. Kawaguchi Megumi, who was hiding in a dry well in Red Leaf Mountain, finally opened her eyes. Countless pupils were constantly crowded in her eye sockets, as if they were inhabited by countless parasites, spinning chaotically, which was even more terrifying than the compound eyes of an insect.

The ability from the Hundred Eyes allowed Kawaguchi Megumi to see clearly through numerous obstacles the two 'humans' who came to the ruins of the shrine. She saw through their shells their true nature, a cat's resentful body and a ghost in disguise, which meant they could be killed!!!
