Chapter 368 Towards the Stars and the Abyss
Having regained his memory, General Shiki nodded directly, "Of course I've heard Harunosuke mention her, and more than once."
"Or rather, a major reason why Harunosuke Yuugami established this Secret Code Yin-Yang Bureau was to protect her descendants and guard this territory."
"Until almost all the resources of the Onmyōryō were exhausted and the demons that plagued Inazuma were completely wiped out, Kami Harunosuke felt that his life had lost its meaning, so he dismissed all the samurai and closed the Onmyōryō."
Upon hearing this, Kujo Sara turned to look at Xu Ning and asked, "You happened to come here today. What was your purpose from the beginning? And since you entered, you've asked about 'her' more than once. What are you looking for?"
Xu Ning shook his head slightly. "I'll tell you about her in detail when I have time. What I'm eager to know right now is where Yuugami Harunosuke went in the end? What did he leave behind? At least I don't believe he would let go of his resentment and pursue some kind of regretless ending. There must be something left behind in this Yin-Yang Bureau!"
General Shiki frowned and said, "Although Harunosuke once said that if time allowed, he would rather stay here for the rest of his life and not go anywhere else, I tried my best to persuade him at the time, and he finally came to his senses and left."
"But when he left, he did not destroy the Yin-Yang Bureau. Instead, he said that my mission was not over yet and asked me to continue waiting here. Although I still do not know what that unfinished mission is."
The group exchanged silent glances.
It's likely that the Onmyoji Guild's selection process is starting at this time precisely to fulfill its unfinished mission.
D'Artagnan laughed and said, "That's easy. If you want to know what's at the end of the road, just go and see. Staying in place and guessing will never lead to any results."
Xu Ning nodded in agreement, saying, "You have indeed stated an irrefutable truth. In that case, let's go there to find the final answer."
The room in front of me is named "Chou Ji Sen Dong".
Eager to find the answer, almost everyone took action, sweeping away the monsters inside like a whirlwind, and went straight to the door of a small room with talismans pasted on it.
General Shi activated the "talisman" to open the seal on the door, and everyone filed in.
The room was simply furnished, with a table taking up almost half the room. On it sat an exquisite wooden box and a rubbing of a general's portrait.
“I can feel the abundant power in this rubbing. If I get it, I should be able to become whole, and perhaps I will also be able to know what my unfinished mission is.”
With a gentle wave of his hand, the rubbing on the table suddenly flew up and stuck to it, the two easily becoming one.
After closing his eyes and quietly contemplating for a while, General Shi slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Ning.
"Only Harunosuke is a very proud person."
General Shiki said slowly, “When you came in just now, I heard you address this Miss Kujo as ‘General.’ Although I don’t know what kind of General she is, even the powerful General who was the Tenryo magistrate a long time ago was very respectful in front of Harunosuke Yuugami.”
"But in the message that Harunosuke left for you, why did he address you so respectfully as 'Lord Xu Ning'?"
