Truth is everywhere within range

Two o'clock in the morning.

Asano Ariko gasped for air.

Excessive use of spiritual power makes it difficult to concentrate.

In the past, she had completely exhausted her spiritual power once in order to train herself.

At the moment of exhaustion, Asano Ariko immediately fainted.

Then I slept for a whole day and night.

Then there was a lot of eating.

Only then did I regain my energy a little.

At the same time, the weight increased by 0.5 kg.

From now on, Asano Ariko will use her spiritual power carefully to avoid exhaustion.

However, the reality is.

Even if she exhausted all her spiritual power, she still couldn't get rid of the evil spirit in this villa.

It's not because the other party is too strong.

But too much.

Three? Five? Seven?

Ariko Asano no longer wants to count.

Since the first vengeful spirit appeared, more and more vengeful spirits followed.

These resentful spirits are all women, and resentment has corrupted them into ugly shapes.

It only takes a little time for these resentful spirits to turn into evil spirits.

It is a pity that during this period, the sword bell, which is the body of the god, needs to be used by sacrifices and cannot be brought out.

Otherwise, it would not be difficult to deal with these resentful spirits.

Asano Ariko's vision was a little blurry.

She saw Qiao Qiao, standing aside.

Watch your own exorcism.

This is Asano Ariko's order.

If you can't even solve an incident of this magnitude, how can you become an independent miko in the future?

Of course, think about it from another perspective.

Perhaps it is precisely because Qiao Qiao is here that Ariko Asano is so brave.

Anyway, no matter what happens, just ask Qiao Qiao for help.

Probably after the ninth resentful spirit was purified in the screams, Asano Ariko got a rare respite.

"There are too many resentful spirits."

She said, her voice frighteningly soft.

Under normal circumstances, even in mass graves, there would not be so many resentful spirits.

Although these ghosts are very weak, they can only maintain their existence without being erased by time.

But such a quantity still deserves attention.

"It's almost like a serial murder scene."

Hearing Asano Ariko's words, Qiao Qiao nodded.

There are indeed too many.

Although according to Qiao Qiao's standards, the intensity of these resentful spirits ranges from low to medium, which is not common.

But with so many resentful spirits gathering, it’s hard not to think of them.

For example, the half-demonized cherry blossom tree in Wadabori Park relies on attracting spirits and turning them into wraiths to nourish itself.

Is there something similar in this villa?

Qiao Qiao glanced at Ariko Asano.

Miko Asano didn't use much spiritual power just now.

But maybe due to lack of experience, he looked a little tired.

But since the other party didn't ask me to help.

Qiao Qiao must abide by his duties as a follower.

Stand back and watch.

However, Qiao Qiao did not completely give up on himself.

While he was watching, he was recalling and digesting the knowledge from the library books he had read before.

While observing Asano Miko's method of exorcising spirits.

Different from last time at Happy Bakery.

This time, Asano Ariko used more spiritual power to purify the resentful spirits.

Explain it in Qiao Qiao’s familiar way.

It is to use one's own spiritual power to dilute the Yin Qi of the resentful spirit and accelerate its natural disintegration process.

The Yin Qi of the resentful spirit has its points of concentration and its weak points.

Asano Miko's spiritual power is to attack the weak points, causing the evil spirit's Yin Qi to collapse.

With very little spiritual power, a huge amount of Yin Qi can be weakened.

The utilization rate of spiritual power is very high.

At the same time, it is completely different from Qiao Qiao's crude method of removing spirits.

More "gentle".

Perhaps only this method can truly let those resentful spirits "rebirth".

What Qiao Qiao did was simply "eliminate".

Unexpectedly, Miko Asano has mastered such a powerful method of removing spirits at such a young age.

While the royal coins are being waved, the Kagura bells are ringing.

The obsession of the resentful spirit dissipates and passes away to another life.

This is the style of painting that Qiao Qiao most yearns for.

As expected of the apprentice shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine.

With emotion.

Qiao Qiao was also thinking.

Why are there so many female ghosts here?

Could it be that many people have died?

But if only one person died, those resentful spirits would be like smoke without support and would soon dissipate.

unless.

Their bodies are still here.

Or rather, parts of the body.

Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of what his boss had said before.

There have been several disappearances in Shinjuku recently.

No, when it comes to disappearances, there are actually a lot of them all over Tokyo.

Qiao Qiao has heard reports before that there are as many as 100,000 missing people in China every year.

After calculation, an average of two hundred people disappear every day in Shinjuku City. In fact, the few people who disappeared during this period are considered normal.

Not all of these missing persons are dead.

Some of them committed suicide in the mountains, while others became wanderers.

Each has its own difficulties.

Originally, this did not attract Qiao Qiao's attention.

But this sentence was said by the boss.

Who is the boss?

The most powerful person in the circle of Tokyo's exorcists.

An existence that Qiao Qiao must look up to.

Every word spoken by such a person must be meaningful.

Could it be.

All those missing people were killed?

They were brought here to be killed, even tortured, and even their bodies were not found.

From this, it is indeed easy to accumulate yin energy and turn it into a resentful spirit.

And because the body, or parts of the body, have always remained here.

Therefore, those resentful spirits cannot dissipate and can only accumulate.

Qiao Qiao felt as if he had come into contact with the truth.

Taking advantage of the gap when the resentful spirits seemed to have been basically eliminated, he told Asano Ariko this guess.

"It's possible."

Asano Ariko's lips turned white. She drank the mineral water in her bag in one gulp and nodded.

"If you put it that way, could it be that Kenji Iguchi abducted those girls, killed them, and hid the bodies in this villa, but his father discovered them."

Although she was physically exhausted, she immediately became more energetic after hearing Qiao Qiao's words.

"Maybe Mr. Tetsuya Iguchi had discovered it before, but couldn't bear to report his son. As a result, he fell into depression and finally committed suicide in an attempt to bring back his son's conscience? Or maybe Kenji Iguchi was determined to kill him after he discovered that he The secret father somehow distorts the results of the channeling."

Ariko Asano speculated.

The reason why I suspected Kenji Iguchi was because Tetsu Iguchi was already dead.

There is no serial murderer who commits suicide in the end.

"These resentful spirits must have suffered a considerable degree of torture before their death, and it was not ordinary torture that would lead to such deep resentment."

"I heard from my father that in the past, when some people in the industry committed crimes, they would adopt some special methods, not to torture people for fun, but just to turn the spirits of the deceased into resentful spirits, so that they could not pass through psychic channels. Come find the murderer."

"Ordinary people don't know similar methods. Those who can do this kind of thing must be an expert."

She explained again.

"I see, is there still such an operation?"

It was the first time Qiao Qiao heard of such a thing.

After all, he had never been exposed to strange events that resulted in human death before.

Or maybe to avoid copycats, this kind of thing didn't spread.

"Then the question is, where is the body hidden?"

Ariko Asano looked at the villa.

No matter from the perspective of weirdology or police investigation.

They all need to find the body.

Otherwise, those corpses may be used as soil for the growth of other evil spirits.

Without a body, the prisoner cannot be convicted.

After Tetsu Iguchi committed suicide, the villa must have been searched from top to bottom by the police.

There were no corpses.

This can be a little difficult to do.

Hear what Ariko Asano said.

Qiao Qiao suddenly thought of something.

He thought of the textbook on architecture he had read today.

The design specifications for residential buildings mentioned therein.

I didn’t feel it just now.

Now take a closer look.

The reason why this villa feels depressing is not just because of the accumulation of yin energy.

But itself, the indoor space is much smaller than it looks from the outside.

Qiao Qiao came to the TV.

There, it had obviously been wallpapered recently.

He reached out and knocked on the wall.

before the voice of feedback told him the result.

Qiao Qiao and Ariko Asano.

At the same time a cat meow was heard.

From within the walls.
