I’m a Witch In Dongying

—Because there is a wheelchair, only an ambulance has enough space to accommodate it.

Jiufeng Ziyuan also followed to the foot of the mountain before stopping.

After all, this woman is not yet Bai Shuiqiu's shikigami, so she can't enter the Tianmu Shrine sheltered by the gods.

"I will accompany you here first."

Jiufeng Ziyuan stopped and said softly, "Go back and take a good rest. I will come to see you again in two days... Oh, yes, and the batch of materials you gave me before has basically been tempered. Wait. When we meet next time, I will give it to you."

"Really, thank you first..."

"You don't have to say thank you at this time. If you really want to thank you, it's better to use a more practical way."

Jiufeng Ziyuan said half jokingly, raised his hand and patted Bai Shuiqiu's shoulder, then curled around and said, "Well, let's go first, and I will come back to you to fulfill the agreement another day."

"..."

Watching this woman's figure disappear at the corner of Long Street, Bai Shuiqiu turned around, brought her husband and wife and Jie Xia back to the mountain.

The couple seemed to have some doubts, but looking at her tired expression, they didn't say anything in the end.

After arriving home, Bai Shuiqiu picked up his clothes for the first time and ran to the bathroom to take a shower.

She usually takes a bath very quickly.

But this time, I washed my hair for more than half an hour. I washed my hair twice, and rinsed my body several times. I wiped it clean with a towel until my whole body was flushed with hot water. Then I changed into my pajamas, walked out of the bathroom barefoot, stepped on the scrubbed clean floor, found the hair dryer, and started blowing my hair.

At this time, it was past midnight.

To be precise, it was already over nine o'clock in the evening when Shirasuiqiu and his entourage came out of the "Inside the World". Then I told Suzuki Zhuxi and others to make it clear that they returned to Tenme Shrine to take a bath... it was almost three or four. An hour passed.

But the light in the living room was still on.

Chiyo, Baishuiheren, and Jiashi all gathered in the living room and spoke solemnly.

Even Hyuga Asuka was sitting aside, helping to take care of Yuuka and avoiding the little girl from running around.

However, after experiencing the shocking scene in the inner world tonight, Yuxia's appearance was also a bit wilted, and it seemed that she had run away unconsciously for a while.

"Qiujiang, have you finished washing?"

Chiyo turned his head and smiled: "If you are tired, go back to your room and rest. I have probably heard the story of the'inside world', and I've probably heard it with Renhe Jiashi. It's too dangerous. If it weren't for you, then That blue heron arrived in time, I'm afraid..."

"Yes, it is indeed dangerous, but fortunately we all returned without incident."

Bai Shuiqiu was very tired at first, but after taking a bath, his sleepiness subsided a bit.

After thinking for a while, instead of following my grandma's suggestion to go back to bed, she turned around, walked to the sofa in the living room, found an empty seat, sat down, and raised her eyes to look at the opposite Bai Shui and the couple:

"Ahem, there is something, I never had time to ask you...

How did you get into that world, can you talk about it in detail? On the disappearing tram, did you see anyone worthy of attention, or did anything worthy of your attention happen? "

Mime private 617

"This…"

Bai Shui and Ren and his wife looked at each other, remembering them, and then recounting the evening's events in detail.

Jiexia, who was sitting on the side, also cut in a few words.

The little girl's spiritual perception is more acute than that of two adults, so she has a clearer perception of the surrounding situation than with a couple, but because of her limited expression ability, she is not very precise.

But Bai Shuiqiu combined the descriptions of the three people, plus some information from the wind raccoon, and summarized it in his heart, and he probably figured out the situation before and after the tram entered the "Inside World".

"It seems that people from the Jiuju faction were not in the car at the time..."

"Perhaps after they managed to open the door near Qinggang Station, they did not dare to take the risk, but hid in the dark to wait for an opportunity. As a result, they were deterred by the arrival of the old monster, so until the end, I didn't dare to show up..."

"Speaking of which, after entering the inner world, the tram driver has never reappeared. It is a bit suspicious. Let the countermeasure team use this as a starting point to investigate and see if you can find some clues..."

Bai Shuiqiu rubbed his chin, thinking.

He Ren and his wife were also silent at this time, looking at her with slightly complicated eyes.

When her eyes fell on her hand and saw the bandaged wound, Bai Shui Jiashi's expression was a little bit painful.

However, Bai Shui and Ren finally couldn't help but speak after hesitating a few times: "Xiao Qiu, in fact, Jiashi and I have encountered things like today...it's not the first time."

"Ok?"

"About ten years ago, when you were only five or six years old, such a thing happened once, but after a long time, you may have completely forgotten about it. Even us, if it weren’t for the excitement of today’s encounter. , May not remember that there is such a past..."

"Eh?"

Bai Shuiqiu raised his eyebrows.

Next, I heard Bai Shui and Ren slowly talk about it.

According to this man, as early as when his predecessor was living with them in Tokyo, there was a time when a family went out to shop in a mall. When they came back, it was already 7 or 8 in the evening, just when they took the elevator upstairs. There was a sudden power failure in the elevator, and it started running again after about five minutes, and stopped in front of a "non-existent floor".

"A floor that doesn't exist?"

"Yes."

Bai Shuihe replied solemnly: "That apartment building, which Jiashi and I lived in when we were married, has six floors. However, the elevator stopped on the seventh floor that day. Moreover, it was in the elevator. After the door of the room was opened, an empty floor appeared in front of us. All the doors of the room were open, but there was a white mist outside the windows, and nothing could be seen clearly...

We tried all the distress calls we could think of, but none of them worked. In the end, we couldn't even turn on the phone screen.

I also tried to go downstairs to find rescue, but because the mist was too weird and the visibility was too low, Jiashi and I did not dare to approach rashly.

But in the process...

Xiaoqiu, you suddenly disappeared, right under our noses. "

"?!"

Bai Shuiqiu frowned slowly.

The man on the other side continued to say: "The situation that day was very strange, Jiashi and I suspected that you might have accidentally broke into the white mist, so after the discussion, Jiashi waited in the apartment building. And I took a flashlight into the fog to look for it, but...

No matter which direction I go, it’s the same fog. Even if the flashlight is turned on to the maximum power, I can’t illuminate the road even one meter away, and...

In those mists, there seemed to be something whispering, it felt like it was very close, but when I walked over, I didn’t see anything..."

From Bai Shuiheren’s explanation, Bai Shuiqiu smelled a frightful feeling: "Then...what happened later?"

"later…"

Bai Shui and Ren narrowed his eyes and fell into reminiscence:

"I didn't dare to walk into the depths of the fog anymore. I had to retreat first, and waited for a while with Jia Shi, and saw you walk out of the fog again, and then calmly let us return to the building. Waiting for the next day to arrive..."

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu's eyebrows tightened more and more, and pictures in his mind began to churn.

It is said to be a picture, but in fact it is only a fragment of water obscured by water mist, and a few hazy lines are not enough to outline the complete process.

Bai Shuiqiu also couldn't tell whether these were the memory fragments in his mind, or the pictures that his brain made up after hearing Bai Shui and people's narration. It's just that in the misty mist, there is a calm and immature figure, which gradually became clear in her mind, as if she was herself in her childhood.

Bai Shui and Ren paused for a while, while continuing to remember, they said slowly:

"... Later, we took you back to the apartment building and found the house number that belonged to our house. We kept it for most of the night, and then in the morning, we returned to the real world inexplicably.

After returning to this world, we have forgotten most of our experiences in the ‘Inner World’, and it feels like we had a nightmare, and you have never brought this topic to us actively...

But afterwards, some extraordinary phenomena happened intermittently, and Jiashi and I recalled the fear of that night...

More than a month after that incident, we sold the house in that apartment building at a low price and moved to another place.

At the same time, Jiashi and I thought that we could no longer let your problems go unnoticed, so we sent you back to Mother Mother and asked her and father to help resolve the matter. What will happen later is what you know..."

"In other words..."

Bai Shuiqiu's thoughts moved a bit, and a little bit of the subtext that Bai Shui and people hadn't clearly said.

It seems that the couple's fear of that night is not just because of [the non-existent floor] and the strange white fog.

I'm afraid there is still a part that is aimed at her daughter.

When he was a child, Bai Shuiqiu seemed to have the ability to walk freely in the white mist, and when he entered the white mist, he did not say hello to his wife and his wife. After returning, he did not explain to the two of them...changed to be any ordinary person. When encountering this kind of thing, even if you know that the other party is your own daughter, you will inevitably have an almost fearful emotion in your heart.

This is probably the main reason why the husband and wife sent her back to Narita City and had little contact for many years thereafter.

Bai Shuiqiu probably had some points in his heart.

But her current mind is not on these trivial questions, but:

"In other words, when you entered the'Inner World' that time, the scene you saw was daytime?"

"Ok?"

Bai Shui and Ren obviously have a weird focus on Bai Shuiqiu, but he thought about it seriously and nodded and replied, "Yes, when we entered the Inner World, it was in the evening of early autumn, but in the Inner World. Inside...Although there is a cloud of fog obscured and you can't see the sky, there is light in that apartment building. Compared with the ghost place that I entered this evening, it is indeed daytime."

"Yes…"

Bai Shuiqiu tapped the coffee table in front of him with one hand unconsciously, thinking about the clues he had gotten from his cheap father.

The concept of "daytime" did not come to her own mind.

It was mentioned by a man named Kazuo Miyamoto in the phone call received in the "phone booth" in the Ulseworld.

Judging from the description of Baishui and the people, [the non-existent floor] should also be a world, but the form of expression is different from this [unmanned city] tonight. Not only does it involve a much smaller area, it only involves one An apartment building, and more importantly, at that time, the husband and wife barely encountered any evil things, and they returned to this world without problems.

So, does this mean...

The inner world of "daytime" is relatively safe.

Only when it's "night", those evil things will emerge, and the white mist that originally only blocked the line of sight will also transform into a red mist that is like blood pouring, killing and swallowing all the living things encountered?

etc…

Evil things are not non-existent. After all, Bai Shui and Ren have heard some unexplained whispers, it's just that the couple don't have enough spiritual vision, so they can't see those things.

Then the biggest problem becomes...

The young Bai Shuiqiu, who walked alone into the fog and walked back on his own, saw what he saw and what did he do?

"Hi..."

Bai Shuiqiu raised his right hand and gently pressed his temples with his knuckles.

As the thinking deepened, she started to have a headache again.

And this time, the "eight-door golden lock formation" that existed in her sea of ​​knowledge seemed to be particularly restless, even emitting a pale golden halo. On the one hand, those memories from childhood are coming out with familiar pictures; on the other hand, the existence of "Eight Gate Golden Lock Town" seems to be trying to prevent that memory from appearing.

This kind of conflict that occurred in the sea of ​​consciousness made Bai Shuiqiu feel unspeakably uncomfortable, and his chest was also stuffy.

"Is it because Rain Girl hasn't woken up yet..."

Sure enough, only by letting Yu Nu personally untie the seal on her body, the memory of being sealed can truly surface?

Bai Shuiqiu was a little skeptical, but he couldn't keep thinking about it anymore. He could only breathe a sigh of relief and cut into a new question:

"By the way, was the time when you entered the inner world also around Obon?"

"No, it happened on September 9."

"Huh, remember it so clearly?"

When Hearing Bai Shuiqiu's words, Heren and Jiashi's expressions were a little subtle, Chiyo still sitting next to him sighed quietly:

"That day, it was Xiaoqiu's birthday, and they were supposed to take you out to celebrate your birthday, but they didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing on the way back from the outside..."

"..."

Bai Shuiqiu opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Of course she knew when her body was born, but because she hadn't had a birthday experience for a long time, she didn't even remember it for a while. It was only when she was reminded by her grandmother that she suddenly understood it.

Yes.

On September 9th, it was just in the beginning of autumn, and probably because of this, the Heren couple then gave her the name "Autumn".

If no one is secretly tricking ghosts, it is probably because of the arrival of her birthday that some unknown changes have taken place in the spiritual power in her body that will cause the [Non-Existing Floor] to appear...

After talking about this old past, no one spoke again.

The living room was quiet for a moment.

Finally, Bai Shui Jiashi smiled and broke the silence a little unnaturally:

"By the way, Xiao Qiu, this time we entered the'Inside World' because Jie Xia... also has the same physique as you?"

Facing the couple, and the slightly nervous gaze cast by Chiyo at the same time, Bai Shuiqiu groaned for a while and shook his head:
