“Breaking in without knowing anything, you will be swallowed up by the darkness if you are not careful, hehehe…”

The miko laughed eerily.

The corner of Paimon’s mouth twitched a few times, “Is this person really a witch? She smiles so sinisterly!”

The witch persuaded: “Now you still have a chance to quit. I’ll count to three, three, two, one…Okay, welcome to the courage test conference.”

“Was that a test just now?” Ying was a little curious.

The witch nodded and said: “You two can take it as a small test, just like many weird stories, they always start with seemingly easy daily life.”

“No need to be anxious, no need to wonder, no need to explore…”

“From the moment you two stepped here, everything was doomed.”

The witch said casually: “Enjoy the temporary tranquility now. The first round of the competition is about to begin. Have you found a partner?”

“Finally I can understand one sentence. As for partners…” Paimon looked at Ying, “We are the best partners!”

“Huh?” The miko was a little confused, “But the list counts you as a contestant, ‘Ying and Paimon’, that’s what it says.”

“In other words, you have to find another companion to form a team.”

The water friends all laughed.

“The Traveler and Her External Vocal Cords.”

“External speech organs are organs after all (”

“Chongyun!!!”

Paimon was a little panicked, “So sudden?”

“If that guy Yidou hadn’t run away, we could have dragged him along… But what should we do now?”

The witch suggested: “As far as I know, there are still some contestants who have not yet formed a team. You can go find them.”

“Go back quickly. If you haven’t formed a team at the beginning of the game, you will be directly sentenced to lose.”

Paimon was relieved when he heard the news.

Ying and Paimon went to find their teammates together, and the first person they saw was Ayaka.

“Hello Traveler, Paimon.”

Ayaka greeted.

“Did Linghua also come to participate in the courage test?” Paimon asked curiously.

“Yes.” Linghua nodded, “Brother said that the courage test competition is ‘very interesting’ and recommended that I try it too.”

“I’ve never been to a courage test, so I didn’t know what it would be like.”

“I didn’t expect Ayato to play for the first time too!” Paimon was a little surprised. She thought that Ayato, as a local, must have played before.

Ayaka explained: “Actually, I am not good at dealing with things involving gods and ghosts… I am always worried that I will be too rude and will bring shame to the family.”

“Speaking of which, I would like to ask, are you two partners?”

Ayaka asked looking forward to it.

“I chose Ayaka in seconds, but I still came to Tuanzi to look at it again.”

“Me too, because Manyo and Goro have a good relationship, so there is a high probability that they can form a team, but if Ayaka…”

“I chose Manyo, but he told stories later and scared me, oooooo~”

Paimon replied: “Sister Miko said just now that she counts us as a contestant, so we are also looking for a partner!”

“Great!” Linghua was a little excited, “If you don’t mind, would you like to team up with me?”

“Being by your side, I will feel at ease unconsciously.”

“Ah, of course, if you want to be a group with someone else, that’s okay.”

Ayaka said generously.

“You’ve already said so, how can you have the nerve to refuse!!”

“It’s great (excited).”

“Ayato: Guess who arranged it?”

“Ayato specifically included me and Paimon as contestants just to let me and my wife play together. He really made me cry to death.”

“Master: No, this is just my emergency food.”

Seeing Linghua’s expectant look, Tuanzi’s heart trembled, and he almost clicked the mouse on the option he agreed to without hesitation.

“Ahh! I’m sorry, wife Ayaka, I want to see who the other people are!”

“I promise to pick you up right away~”

Tuanzi said while apologizing, and then clicked on the option to think about it again.

Linghua was a little disappointed, but still comforted her: “Well, it’s okay, I’ll wait for you here.”

“You can come to me anytime if you need anything.”

Afterwards, Tuanzi went to ask Manyo and Goro, and then immediately returned to Ayaka.

“Excuse me…how are you thinking about it?” Linghua asked expectantly.

Ying: “I want to participate with Ayaka.”

“Really?” Linghua couldn’t believe it, “Then, please give me more advice.”

“No…it would be better to say ‘please bear with me’.”

“If I’m scared, please don’t make fun of me…”

After selecting the candidates to compete together, the interviewer

Linghua came to the witch.

The witch said: “It seems that you have successfully found a partner.”

“It just so happens that the competition is about to start. Now I am announcing to you the objects you will be looking for in the first round of courage test.”

“The name is, ‘Dumpling Milk’.”

“The dango milk sponsored by Mr. Tomoki is now placed somewhere in the guardian forest.”

“There will be direction signs along the way as a guide, but there will also be forks in the road. All kinds of strange things may happen on the way. If you can’t hold on, you can quit at any time.”

The miko said slowly.

“There is a rush to register a marriage.”

“Dumpling milk? Ah! I want to be on the same team as Kage!”

“Isn’t this simple? Just release the shadow from Isshin Pure Land and you can find it.”

“Shadow Treasure Trap.”

After learning the first thing they were looking for from the miko, Ying and Paimon set off immediately to avoid being overtaken by other contestants.

Walking in the dark and quiet forest path without any sunlight, Linghua seemed to have thought of something and talked about some past events.

“Speaking of which, about ten years ago, a retainer told me a story.”

“It is said that there was a wandering warrior who was walking through the woods at night and suddenly found that the familiar scenery in front of him began to look strange.”

“He stopped and found that he seemed to be in another world, where weird, non-human-like things were looking at him…”

After just hearing the beginning of the story, Paimon was a little scared.

“I don’t dare to look at the trees around me…”

“Should it be okay? If something weird jumps out, we’ll… teach it a lesson!”

Paimeng huddled behind Ying and whispered.

“I understand, it’s Lanaro!”

“I chose Goro. He tells stories about the army.”

“So each character has a different story? Mi Huyou is really thoughtful.”

While the water friends were discussing, a weak and strange man’s voice suddenly sounded deep in the forest.

“I hate it so much…”

The source of this voice could not be identified at all, and it seemed quite scary.
