Chapter 644: The Person Who Brings Misfortune
"Ayato, now is not the time to laugh."
Thomas said with a bitter face: "If it really has something to do with you, can you please ask the reason? Logically speaking, this shouldn't be a small problem, otherwise you wouldn't choose to hide it from Linghua."
"This is certainly not a trivial matter. It is not a good thing to have too much contact with beings like them."
Kamisato Ayato said in a deep voice: "I did not make this up myself. This was told to me personally by the person at the shrine. It is absolutely true."
“Isn’t that a good sign?”
Thomas was stunned: "If you are worried that Linghua will be affected, it is unlikely. Her will will not be defeated so easily."
“It’s not as simple as the mind.”
Kamisato Ayato sighed: "After working for so many years, I know everything, but after listening to the story of the palace priest, I also think it is a bit too unbelievable."
"If you come into contact with that kind of existence too much, it will bring misfortune."
"The Kamisato family can't afford any more problems, especially since the person who wanted to have contact with them is my sister."
"Including you, Thomas. I know you have a good relationship with Linghua, but you must not be soft-hearted in this matter."
"Even the one called Gu Sanqiu, if you can have as little contact with him as possible, try to have as little contact with him as possible."
"People like them, who are descended from an ancient family from ancient times, and who have a close relationship with the gods, are very likely to encounter misfortune."
Thomas's expression became serious. "Please be more specific, Ayato. I need to know more details."
"It means that they are dangerous and will even bring such danger to those around them, no matter how close they are to them. Even death will be the least painful outcome, and misfortune and sorrow will accompany them throughout their lives."
Thomas was a little unconvinced: "Is it true?"
"These are the original words of Yae Gongji. I had the same expression as you when I heard them. But he is a close friend of the general after all. When there is no other channel, I have to choose to believe it."
Kamisato Ayato spread his hands: "That's probably it. Anyway, no matter whether the attitude of such beings is friendly or bad, it is best to stay away from them as much as possible."
Thomas said worriedly, "What about you? If you follow this line of thought, aren't you also in danger?"
"Compared to the unknown dangers, the decline and precariousness of the Kamisato family is what I am most worried about. I can overcome all of this."
Kamisato Ayato smiled confidently and said, "What if I die? What if it's scarier than death? I need to seize everything in front of me, so I must be prepared to face danger."
"Believe me, Thomas, I have managed to get out of this situation time and time again when it was dangerous."
"All right……"
Thomas felt a little heavy in his heart, not only because of everything Kamisato Ayato had told him today, but also about Ayaka.
Even if she knew the truth, with Linghua's personality, she would definitely choose to stick to her inner thoughts, and she would never give up otherwise.
But what if misfortune comes so violently and so quickly that it is unimaginable?
"Ayato, I will go and arrange the relevant matters now, and try to reduce the contact between Sanqiu and Ayahua. You go ahead and do your work."
Thomas looked hurried, and now he couldn't take care of his own safety. He decided to reveal this matter to Gu Sanqiu.
Before asking for help, he should at least give a relatively reasonable reason, not to mention that the person he wants to ask for help is such a powerful being.
…
"Wow, although I have already guessed it, I didn't expect it to be this reason. Why does the fox tell everything?"
Thomas was sitting in front of Gu Sanqiu, who waved his hand nonchalantly.
"I don't care about your family affairs. I just want the information I should get. I will follow your request and try to appear in front of Linghua as little as possible."
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Thomas asked cautiously, "From the tone of your voice, it seems that you know something, Sanqiu?"
"Since the one in your family has already categorized me into that category based on intuition , then I must know something related."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "Do you think I would tell you something that even the fox didn't elaborate on?"
Thomas said anxiously: “Please, Sanqiu, this is really important to me.”
"Thomas."
Gu Sanqiu became serious: "Kamito Ayato has to come into contact with those things because of his job, so Yae Shinko reminded him indirectly, but you are different."
"You can either avoid contact or pretend you know nothing. Just pretend you know the truth."
Gu Sanqiu said meaningfully: "It will bring misfortune, little brother."
"Ignorance is not a crime, you know."
"The more you want to know, the deeper you will sink into that bottomless abyss, and you will also become the source of misfortune for those around you."
"To be honest, your friendship with Linghua saved your life. If you choose to keep it secret and investigate on your own, it's hard to say what will happen."
"Or rather, it's a good thing you came to me."
"Just leave the information in one place and let me know. Don't think about it anymore. It won't do you any good."
After persuading Thomas to leave, Gu Sanqiu found Yae Kamiko who was reviewing the light novel.
"Have you told the guy from Kamisato's family about the wear and tear?"
Gu Sanqiu frowned: "This is not a good thing. What are you thinking?"
"Ayato is very talented. Just think of it as me cherishing his talent."
Yae Shinko calmly read the manuscript: "Wear and tear is a terrible thing, but if we realize it in advance and try to avoid it, we can deal with it later."
"But this is also a huge risk. You don't have to explain these things to him."
"Little guy, you seem to have forgotten one thing."
Yae Kamiko smiled and said, "Narugami Taisha and the Shrine Magistrate are one and the same. In other words, it is certain that Kamisato Ayato will come into contact with him, or even be affected by him. It is only a matter of time."
"Not to mention, I have my own purpose for this."
Yae Shinko became serious: "Let him realize that the current Inazuma is likely to be affected by the same power. This is an important backup plan."
"Don't look at the current relationship between the shrine and the Kamisato family. If the time comes to uncover everything, whether Kamisato Ayato will stand on my side is still unknown. He can make any unreasonable decision for the sake of the Kamisato family."
Gu Sanqiu looked at the fox deeply: "You took advantage of him."
"It's not taking advantage of me. I just didn't tell him the truth."
Yae Kamiko shook her head: "If we allow the current situation to develop, the Kamisato family will naturally not be able to escape the control of my best friend. It is almost inevitable that he will make changes."
“Rather than letting this power explode inexplicably, it is better to bring it under my control in advance.”
"I do this for her, and Kamisato Ayato does this for the family. As long as we can turn everything around, we will get a real turnaround. This is the right way."
"This is your territory, whatever you say goes."
Gu Sanqiu shook his head: "If you do this, aren't you afraid that he will turn against you when he realizes what's going on?"
"It's just a game of officialdom. Besides, he didn't lose anything from what I did, and it was also good for his family. It's just that I didn't make my words clear."
Yae Shinko suddenly laughed strangely: "What about you, little guy? As someone who may also be affected, what decision will you make?"
"In the end of misfortune, even if you have the power to reach the sky and penetrate the earth, what can you do?"
"At the end of the world, where the stars have fallen, where the source of destiny has dried up, you will be the only one standing there."
"Beside me are only the remains of stars, countless sorrows and nothingness."
"Only you, alone."
