At this moment, No. 1 murmured the name, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
She turned around and asked the people behind her.
"Everyone, what do you think?"
The Yamata no Orochi glanced at each other, and then starting from No. 2, everyone nodded in turn.
Seeing this, No. 1 nodded with satisfaction.
"Since there is no objection, it is unanimously approved."
She then looked at No. 8 and said seriously.
"Starting from today, No. 8... no, Yagami Yuan, allows you to break away from Yamata no Orochi and act as an independent person."
"However, don't forget your identity as No. 8. Remember that you will always be a part of Yamata no Orochi. If you are wronged in any way, you can run back crying at any time."
"Do you understand, Yagami Yuan?"
Yagami Yuan nodded cutely.
"not understand."
Looking at the familiar pair of dead fish eyes in front of him, No. 1 couldn't help but pull back the corner of his mouth uncontrollably.
For a moment, I didn’t know whether to praise the other party for her honesty or to scold her for being stupid.
Fortunately, this time she calmed down in time, feeling a little helpless and speaking with a tone of gloating.
"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just ask the people around you later."
Without waiting for Yagami Yuan to ask, she immediately rushed to speak.
"Then I declare that the personal graduation ceremony on the 8th is over! Everyone applauds!"
Bang bang bang...
From No. 1 to No. 7, even Otonashi Cheyuki on the side clapped softly, and the sound was so loud that it even covered the confusion in Yagami Yui's eyes.
After the applause session ended, No. 1 turned to look at Yashen Kong again, with a hint of caution on his expression.
"Finally, Mr. Yagami, I have something I want to talk to you about alone."
"With me?"
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but be a little surprised, but he still nodded in agreement.
"Just in time, I also have some questions I want to ask Miss No. 1."
"Captain Otonashi, please take Yuan back first."
...
On the forest path.
The shadows of the trees on both sides swayed, bringing with them waves of cool night breeze carrying the chirping of insects and birds.
Seeing that they had walked a certain distance, Ye Shenkong spoke at the right time.
"Miss No. 1, you are far enough away from them now. It is time to tell me what you want to say to me, right?"
"Mr. Yagami."
Number 1, who was walking in front, suddenly paused in his footsteps, and his voice came along the night wind.
"I think the curse seal of No. 8 should be in your hand now, right?"
"It's just as you said." Ye Shenkong had no intention of hiding it and nodded in recognition.
"Then, you should have discovered that there is actually no spiritual power in that curse seal." Number 1 continued.
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong's eyes couldn't help but darken slightly.
No wonder No. 8's curse seal failed to respond after being embedded in the limited gloves. The original reason is here...
he asked immediately.
"So, Miss No. 1, are you going to tell me the reason for this?"
"Yes."
No. 1 took a deep breath, with an unprecedented solemn expression on her pretty face, and spoke.
"As you know, our Yamata no Orochi, from No. 1 to No. 7, each head symbolizes a sin. It is this sin that gives us power and gives us strength.
"
"She, No. 8, is different from us."
"Her power is countless times more terrifying than sin, and has no bounds."
"Because the number 8 symbolizes infinity."
...
Two hours later.
Tokyo, Arakawa Ward.
When Yashenkong returned home, it was already close to midnight.
At this moment, what No. 1 had just said was still echoing in his mind.
In addition to what happened with No. 8, he also learned a lot of other information from No. 1.
For example, how did the Yamata no Orochi that died in the records come back to life again?
And No. 1's answer undoubtedly confirmed some of Ye Shenkong's conjectures.
According to No. 1, their Yamata no Orochi was awakened by someone from the other side.
The person who woke them up claimed to be a messenger from the Fujin people.
The other party promised to help them avenge Susanoo. In exchange, No. 1 and others also need to complete the work assigned to them by the other party.

Currently, the only way for No. 1 and others to get in touch with him is through the contact paper in their hands.
Hearing this, Ye Shenkong was almost certain.
Using paper figurines to communicate with shikigami is a unique method of communication among onmyojis.
And now, there is someone who is involved with the Fujin people and is also an Onmyoji...
It must have something to do with Abe Seimei not running away.
Sure enough, the cowardice and timidity that he pretended to be in front of him that day were all the other party's acting skills——
Ye Shenkong opened the door thoughtfully.
Suddenly, his hand stretched out towards the doorknob and paused.
Because at this moment, the door of the house in front of him was slowly swinging back, and with the creaking and rubbing sound, the dark fangs behind the door were gradually revealed.
Seeing this scene, Yagami Kongtong's hole couldn't help but expand a bit.
When I left, I made sure the door was locked.
But now, it has become a state of concealment.
Obviously, someone had been here before when he left.
This couldn't help but make Ya Shenkong feel vigilant.
After all, this house has always been guarded by You.
Faced with this kind of water demon general who can easily crush the people of Fujin, and a powerful supernatural being that even the captain of the fifth division, Otonashi Cheyuki, is afraid of, who can easily accomplish such an invasion?
He tentatively spoke.
"quiet?"
No one responded.
Ye Shenkong frowned, and then spread his palms.
The hostile wave of light lit up from the palm of his hand, showing all the nearby situations before his eyes.
At this moment, on the map displayed by the hostile wave, you can see a figure staying in the same place in the room at this moment, showing no signs of moving.
Obviously, the other party is waiting for someone to arrive.
In addition, there is no light point representing You on the map.
After realizing this, Yashenkong immediately noticed the other party's intention.
It turns out that if the other party dares to wait for me so blatantly, then he must be sure that he will not run away like this.
Using You as a hostage... no, is it ectoplasm?
In this case, the only option left is to go in and find out.
Ye Shenkong took a deep breath, then calmly took off his shoes and stepped into the darkness in front of him.
Following the prompts of the hostile fluctuations, Ye Shenkong came all the way to the place where the light spot was.
But something that was somewhat beyond his expectation was that the location here was actually the bathroom in the house.
Looking at the door in front of him, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Why did the other party choose this place to meet...
However, after thinking about it, he subconsciously reached out and pushed the door open.
As the door opened, a beam of light suddenly leaked out from the crack in the door.
Although it is just the soft light of an ordinary incandescent lamp, it feels countless times more dazzling than before.
Further back, the situation in the bathroom can be seen clearly.
At this moment, in the hot bathroom filled with misty heat, a beautiful figure was lazily soaking in the bathtub.
Stretching her slender legs, Yuzu repeatedly stepped on the little yellow duck floating on the water into the water, obviously enjoying it.
Seeing this scene, Ye Shenkong couldn't help but froze for a moment.
At this moment, the other party also noticed his arrival.
However, instead of feeling shy, he stretched out his lotus-rooted arm and propped it up on the edge of the bathtub. He held up his flawless face and looked at Ye Shenkong carefully up and down, and said with some dissatisfaction.
"Oh, are you finally willing to come back? I've been waiting for a long time."
At this moment, Ye Shenkong finally recovered from his surprise. Looking at the breathtakingly beautiful but delicate face that was marked by unfamiliarity everywhere, he couldn't help but ask.
"Excuse me, are you...?"
"Ah, I almost forgot, this is the first time we have met."
The other party was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.
She naturally puffed up her chest and introduced confidently.
"So, first meeting, Yagami Sora."
"My name is Amaterasu. Please take good care of me from now on."
