This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

This notepad...no, it's more of a diary than a notepad.

This is the record left by Sifang Wangyue after entering the lunar eclipse cave.

It mainly records what she saw and heard after entering the lunar eclipse cave.

Later, she also wrote about how she, an ordinary miko, was chosen to be the Moon Miko.

'That incident happened, and the Sifang family was in chaos... The cultivation of a Moon Miko must be cultivated from an early age. If you lose that pure soul, you will not be able to become a Moon Miko. So I was chosen, knowing my own destiny from the beginning. Being chosen as the Moon Priestess is just an excuse... If you want to successfully survive the dark moon period, I must come... The head of the family gave me the dark moon mirror, and I am equivalent to inheriting the people's legacy. expect. ’

The writing stops here.

Seeing this, Beichuanji frowned.

‘That happened’?

What was that thing about?

Lost the soul of the Moon Miko...? And the Moon Miko must be raised from an early age? Looking at the Moon in Four Directions is the replacement found later?

So did the first ‘Miko of the Moon’ die in ‘that incident’?

After that, Shifang Mochizuki was chosen as Moon Miko's replacement?

But as mentioned before, the Moon Miko must be cultivated from a young age.

For this reason, Sifang Mochizuki, who was chosen as a substitute, came to the lunar eclipse cave?

Does this mean that the Lunar Eclipse Cave has the effect of accelerating the cultivation of the Moon Miko?

and...

"Yuehuijing...?"

I am still very impressed by the small round mirror Kitagawa Temple hanging on Kaguya Shifang's chest.

He clicked his fingers, more curious about what was going to happen next.

Turning over the records page by page, Beichuan Temple also got a rough idea of ​​Sifang Wangyue's living environment.

In the lunar eclipse cave, Sifang Wangyue undoubtedly had the only thing she used for entertainment and relaxation. She left many notes on it, most of which expressed that she missed Sifang Wenzhi and wanted to see him.

These romantic words are left on it, revealing a particularly sad and gloomy feeling.

After reading another page at Beichuan Temple that expresses the feeling of looking at the moon and missing each other from all directions——

Everything...changed in an instant!

Juanxiu's original handwriting changed.

Yes.

Everything has changed.

The text laid out on the notepad was twisted and scrawled, leaving it on the notepad with a force that wanted to tear everything into pieces:

'I'm not Shikou Kaguya I'm not Shikou Kaguya I'm not Shikō Kaguya I'm not Shikō Kaguya I'm not Shikō Kaguya I'm not Shikō Kaguya I'm not Shikō Kaguya I'm not Shikō Kaguya I'm not Shikō Kaguya I'm not Shikōka Night I am not Shifang Kaguya I am not Shifang Kaguya I am not Shifang Kaguya I am not Shifang Kaguya...'

The long and suffocating sentences were left on the notepad. Just looking at them made one feel chilled in the heart and numb in the scalp.

The dark and crazy fonts are like human eyes, staring at the reader.

It was as if someone was whispering vicious curses in his ears.

The surrounding air also became colder.

Am I not Shifang Kaguya?

Beichuan Temple turned the pages of the notebook in silence.

There is no content at the back of the notebook, leaving only empty paper.

Kaguya Shifang's name appears again here.

And what happened to cause a person to have such a terrifying error in self-perception? What has happened to Sifang Wangyue?

All sorts of things worth pondering come together.

Just as Kitagawaji raised his eyes in thought——

He saw it.

A woman's face appeared on the gray bronze mirror.

The dark eyes with no whites were staring at Beichuan Temple, while his fingers pointed in another direction.

Looking at the moon in all directions? !

Beichuanji stood up and looked back.

There was nothing behind him, and at first glance there was only a deep and bottomless cave.

But that was definitely not an illusion just now.

Did Sifang Wangyue appear because he wanted to tell him something?

If that's the case why not just show up and tell him everything?

And that direction she pointed...?

Kitagawa Temple stuffed the record book into his backpack and walked in the direction pointed by Shifang Mochizuki.

On the edge of the wooden platform is the deep and cold lake.

In addition, there is a small boat, which is floating slightly with the fluctuation of the lake water, and a rope pulls the iron nails of the wooden platform.

Could it be that what Si Fang Wangyue meant just now was that he wanted him to get on the boat?

After thinking for a moment, Kitagawa Temple stepped onto the boat.

After all, there is no use just hesitating on the shore. It will not alleviate the current situation in the slightest.

He cut the rope and the boat slid into the waterway.

There was no need for Beichuan Temple to control it at all. The boat continued to drift into the depths of the cave along with the natural waterway.

Seeing this situation, Beichuan Temple did not hesitate to use the form of death gas to leave conspicuous traces on the surrounding rock walls as signposts to avoid getting lost in this deep cave.

After sliding inward for almost ten minutes, the boat finally stopped in an open space.

Beichuan Temple raised his head and looked at this scene, his expression moved slightly.

Beside him, Asamiya Yongse spoke subconsciously:

"gorgeous."

What lies in front of Beichuan Temple is a smooth mountain stone surface.

From the gap in the stone surface of the mountain, something rushed out. It first sloped down gracefully in the air, and finally fell into the small sparkling pool on the left.

The splashing water droplets scattered and were scattered by the moonlight, forming small colorful lights.

The bright moonlight poured in from the gaps in the mountain above, illuminating everything in the cave.

The grains of sand on the sand were illuminated... shining with clear brilliance like gems.

Under this scenery is a small shrine.

The shrine was bathed in the moonlight, and something above the altar was shining with crystal clear light.

"That's..." Beichuanji moved his feet and walked on the sand to the shrine.

The flashlight in his hand shines vertically.

On top of the vermilion offering mat is a round mirror with a hazy surface.

Its frame is engraved with fine inscriptions of curses, and the deep mirror surface seems to be able to suck people's soul into it.

"Is this...a moonscope?"

Beichuan Temple's eyes flashed.

Unexpectedly, the moon telescope was hidden in the lunar eclipse cave.

As Shifang Kaguya said, the moon telescope is bathed in moonlight all year round, and the hiding place is so hidden.

Beichuan Temple stepped forward, raised his hand and took out the moon mirror from the shrine.

The crystal clear moonlight instantly lingered on Beichuan Temple's body.

This burst of moonlight dispelled the coldness that had been lingering around, and made Beichuan Temple feel refreshed.

At the same time, he also saw some scattered memories about spiritual tools——

It’s the same quiet lunar eclipse cave.

A woman came to this place in a small boat.

I don't know if it was due to memory loss, but Beichuanji couldn't see her face clearly at all. All he could see clearly was the shining round mirror on her chest.

Moonlight mirror.

"The Moon Gaze... I already have the Moon Dark Mirror... If I get another Moon Gaze... I should be able to get a glimpse of the mystery of the method of immortality, right?"

The woman murmured to herself. She slowly came to the shrine where the moon mirror was enshrined, then stretched out her hand and took it off the vermilion offering pad on the shrine.

Then--

Tragedy happened.

Huge amounts of pure moonlight poured out uncontrollably from the moon mirror, and the terrifying moonlight instantly tilted over the woman's fragile body.

The painful wailing sounded!

In just a moment, her palms, ankles, arms, and even her head——

All exploded into plasma.

Finally, the blood-stained moonglass fell heavily from the sky.

...

The surrounding scene changed, and while Beichuan Temple was slightly dazed, everything returned to its original state.

The system prompt sounds.

Ding! You discover the new weird 'moonscope'.

‘Moon Looking Glass: An inherited spiritual tool enshrined by the Sifang family during the era. It contains the terrifying moonlight and is one of the necessary props to activate the Sifang altar. But besides this, it seems to have other functions...'

The system's commentary is as simple and easy to understand as ever.

only...

"Who was that woman just now...?" Kitagawa Temple looked at the moonglass in his hand.

The round mirror engraved with complicated incantations was dimly shining with light.

The moonglass that was removed...the woman that was exploded into plasma and...the moonglass that hung on the other person's chest.

A bold guess gradually took shape in Beichuan Temple's mind.

After the baptism of memory fragments just now, Beichuan Temple has almost sorted out all the clues.

"pretty close."

Kitagawaji murmured to himself.

Assuming that the person in the memory just now is the first Moon Miko recorded in Si Fang Wang Yue's notes... all the previous clues can be connected together.

Yes--

Everything can be connected in series.

"...Tera-kun...do you already understand?" Asamiya Nagase, who was floating aside, looked over curiously, and even the little pity grabbed Kitagawaji's ears, wanting to hear his thinking process.

Under their gaze, Beichuan Temple did not hide anything in this regard, and he slowly spoke out his thoughts.

First of all, the first one. Because she was greedy for the immortality method inherited from Yue Youshan, she came to the Moon Eclipse Cave alone and wanted to take out the moon mirror, and relied on the power of the moon mirror and the moon mirror to spy. The secret of the method of immortality, but the final result was failure. She was eroded by the moonlight of the moon mirror and exploded into a puddle of rotten flesh.

By the time the Sifang family discovered that the tragedy had occurred, it was already too late. At the moment when the Moon Witch died, the Sifang family in Yueyou Mountain could no longer use the power of the Sifang Altar to safely survive the upcoming dark moon.

At this moment, the senior leaders of the Sifang family reluctantly thought of a way to make up for the losses. That is to select another Moon Miko, and the substitute Moon Miko will preside over the ceremony of the Four Directions Altar.

The chosen person is the former Sifang Wangyue.

Her engagement with Sifang Wenji was canceled because she was chosen as the Moon Miko. Sifang Wenji also violated the ban and was sent to the wooden cage prison.

But--

"I remember that the Moon Miko still needs to be cultivated from an early age, right? This is just like our God in the village. In order to suppress the disaster, our souls must be improved and strengthened through various blessings or sacrificial rituals. ..The Moon Priestess who was just roughly selected is not up to the task.”

Asamiya Yongse saw the suspicion in time and asked questions.

As she said, the Moon Miko must be cultivated from an early age, which was also recorded in Shifang Mochizuki's notepad.

"But you missed something."

Beichuan Temple raised his finger and said calmly: "That's because the Moon Eclipse Cave is originally close to the underworld."

This time Asamiya Yongse finally understood, she opened her mouth:

"Tera-kun, what do you mean...? The departed spirit body is attached to the living person?"

good.

Beichuan Temple nodded.

The Lunar Eclipse Cave is close to the Underworld, but being able to see the former shrine maidens in the Lunar Eclipse Cave... knowing their experience... this is undoubtedly a lie.

The only thing the senior leaders of the Sifang family want to do is to let the spirit body of the deceased first Moon Miko take Sifang Mochizuki's body as its own!

But it has been mentioned a long time ago that there will be repulsive reactions between different spiritual bodies and different physical bodies.

It's like if you want to put a bus engine into a car...it's simply incompatible.

Therefore, it is completely impossible to forcefully occupy the roots of other people's bodies.

In the past, Beichuan Temple had never thought about taking away the body because of this prerequisite.

If it's not your own body, there will be a rejection reaction, and you can't take someone else's body at all.

but--

"In an environment like the Moon Eclipse Cave, which is close to the underworld and the hidden world, this kind of thing can also be done." Beichuan Temple took a breath.

After being infected by the underworld's breath for a long time, the body of the living will change and become more inclined to the hidden world, that is, that world.

After being infected and changed by the underworld's aura for such a long time, Sifang Wangyue's body has lost its rejection to other spirits.

And the person who controls Sifang Wangyue’s body is——

"Shifang Kaguya." Kitagawaji flicked his fingers.

As an ordinary Sifang tribesman, Sifang Mochizuki, after losing his spiritual body's exclusive ability to protect himself, naturally could not resist Sifang Kaguya, who had received various ritual bonuses and baptisms since he was a child.

This is why she wrote such a long string of "I am not Shigao Kaguya" on the last page of the notebook.

She wanted to use this method to drive the other party away.

But things went counterproductive, what had happened was irreversible, and this weak resistance simply could not withstand the other party's attempt to seize the body.

Later, Sifang Mochizuki was renamed Sifang Kaguya, which is why Antaijian added a note for Sifang Mochizuki on the back.

Because at that time, Shifang Wangyue was no longer Shifang Wangyue, but pure Shifang Kaguya.

Everything went as expected by the senior members of the Sifang family. Sifang Kaguya came back to life, while Sifang Mochizuki was left on the other side, and the spirit body seemed to have completely dissipated.

But in the end, due to unknown reasons, the ritual to resist the dark moon failed.

Because of this, the Shifang Shrine was ruined and everything returned to where it started.

So now comes the most important question.

Beichuanji squeezed the moonglass in his hand and looked at the bright moon in the sky.

The current Sifang Kaguya...

Who is it again?

Thanks for the tip that I want to change my name! Thank you so much!
