"You're welcome. These are just small matters. You three stay here. I have some things to take care of first."
After looking at the message on his phone, Mr. Bei scratched his head, then turned his head to talk to Hoshino Sora and Kirishima Touka, saying that as for Sawamura Eriri, since she was a supporting character, he didn't care much about her.
"Okay, you go ahead and do your work, Mr. Bei."
Nodding, Kirishima Touka walked to the bookshelf and started flipping through the books. There were only two sets of books on the shelf, one set was called "List of Geisha Girls' Files" and the other was called "Gion Diary".
The reason why it is a set is mainly because the history of this store is too long and too many stories have happened during this period. Even if they are written into books, they cannot be recorded in one or two books.
Fortunately, the books were marked in chronological order, and Hoshino Sora directly picked up the Edo period file and started reading it, comparing it with the Jiyuan Diary as he read.
By comparing the two, Hoshino Sora quickly found what he was looking for.
Volume 1: Chapter 85: Fierce fighting, the first test of special combat power!
Reiko Kiyokunichi was born in the Edo period. She was sold to a geisha because her family was poor. She began training to become a geisha at a young age and later fell in love with the child of a noble family.
Everything was normal up to this point. It was the old-fashioned story of a rich young man falling in love with a beautiful geisha. But how could a noble family allow their child to fall in love with a geisha?
After all the obstructions, they finally eloped. The two of them took their gold and silver valuables and prepared to move to another place to live, but unfortunately, things happened unexpectedly.
On a stormy night, the noble son died on the way to elopement. Later, the nobles of the family captured Kiyoguchi Reiko and tortured her in every way. She died after more than ten days of torture.
After doing all this, they were still not satisfied, and in the end they even did not let the corpse go. They asked an evil Yin-Yang master who knew how to set up formations to seal it in a certain place, so that it would never be reborn.
As time passed, that noble family was destroyed by more powerful nobles.
However, the seal has continued to this day, because the Onmyojis of that era were all very strong, especially the evil Onmyojis, who were able to survive in the industry without being strangled by the righteous, mostly because they had extraordinary strength!
"It's so ridiculous. I thought something had happened, but it turned out to be just a small elopement..."
Looking at the information described in the log, Hoshino Sora couldn't help but complain, and there was a hint of subtlety in his eyes. He thought something big had happened to make the noble family do such a cruel thing.
I didn't expect it to be just a story about a young couple eloping, the man died in an accident on the way, and the woman was killed by the man's family and buried with him.
However... there are so many similar cases in this booklet. Although there are not many elopements, there are indeed many geishas who died because of emotional issues, and their partners were all from famous aristocratic families.
It seems that geishas are not selling their art but their bodies, they just don't offer their services to poor people.
"How's it going? Did you find any useful information?"
Looking at Hoshino Sora's constantly changing expression, Sawamura Eriri and Kirishima Touka both came over, looking at the diary in front of them, curiosity revealed in their eyes.
"Found it, you can see for yourself."
Hoshino Sora turned the diary back to the relevant page about Kiyoguchi Reiko and handed it to the two curious people.
"Is this... a story about a geisha eloping with a man?"
After reading the diary handed over by Hoshino Sora, Kirishima Touka and Sawamura Eriri quickly glanced through it, and then became even more confused. They really didn't understand why he came all the way here to find this diary.
Thinking of the chance encounter on the train, the other party probably came here specifically for this, but how could a geisha who died in the Edo period and Hoshino Sora, two people who transcend time and space, have any intersection...
“In fact, it’s mainly for this reason.”
Pointing to the last words on the book, Kiyokuchii Reiko was buried in the bamboo forest outside the city. This was extremely crucial mission information.
"Are you investigating anything related to her?"
Suddenly, Kirishima Touka seemed to have thought of something, and a serious look appeared in her eyes. Then she looked at Hoshino Sora's face and asked this question very seriously.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
He looked at Kirishima Touka in confusion, and at the same time wondered where the bamboo forest outside the city was. Times have changed, and the Shinjuku today is completely different from the Shinjuku in the Edo period.
"Nothing, I'm just a little surprised. You two obviously have nothing in common. Why would Brother Xingye care so much about a dead person?"
"Actually, this matter is related to my friend. She has been entangled by a dirty thing. The solution is here. Only by completely purifying the weirdness in it can she regain her freedom and no longer have to worry."
I just don't know why an ordinary geisha would become so powerful after her death. Logically speaking, even if an ordinary person dies and his soul turns into an evil spirit, the strongest one would not exceed level one weirdness.
Because their souls are not very strong, even if they forcibly devour and merge with a large number of their own kind, after reaching a certain limit, they will be unable to absorb the power and will dissipate uncontrollably.
Only some powerful souls who were highly respected and blessed with good fortune during their lifetime can carry more power after death.
Of course, there are some mutated individuals with the same abilities, but there are not many of them.
Could it be that the person in front of me is one of them? If I think about it carefully, it is not impossible. After all, there are countless people in every dynasty, and it is normal for one or two outliers to appear.
Isn't Ryoumen Sukuna one of those outliers?
"Sure enough, you are also from the industry."
After hearing what Hoshino Sora said, Kirishima Touka finally confirmed his identity, an Onmyoji or a sorcerer, or maybe even a monster... After all, Kotori was not his biological sister.
"Yeah, that's right... Touka, what are you and Hoshino-san talking about?!"
Looking at the two people who seemed to be exchanging secret signals, Sawamura Eriri's face was full of confusion. She looked left and right and said something annoyed. They made her feel stupid!
"You'd better not know about this, Yinglili. This is not something that ordinary people can get in touch with. Once you know it, your future life will become miserable."
Shaking her head, Kirishima Touka warned Hoshino Sora with her eyes, then turned and said to Sawamura Eriri.
It is enough for people like them to bear the burden of this dirty and filthy world. There is no need to let ordinary people know about it.
"What? If you don't want to say it, forget it. Humph."
After hearing what Kirishima Touka said, Sawamura Eriri misunderstood and thought that the other party was deliberately not telling her. She turned her head, puffed up her cheeks and stomped her feet, looking like she was angry and wanted you to guess.
"It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's that you really don't need to know this because it's not a good thing for you."
Looking at Sawamura Eriri's appearance, Kirishima Touka couldn't help laughing. Why is this girl like a child? But it doesn't matter. Judging from her appearance, she doesn't think she takes it to heart.
"Okay, I've found the stuff, I'm going to go back, what about you guys? It's getting late now, it's not safe for middle school students to stay outside, you should go back quickly."
"Oh no, my house is almost curfew. I'm leaving now!"
After hearing what Hoshino Sora said, Sawamura Eriri looked down at the time, then screamed, paced around the room anxiously, and finally rushed out.
The reason was simple: it was already past seven in the evening, and it would soon be curfew time at their house.
"It's dangerous at night. I'll go with you."
Looking at Sawamura Eriri who was rushing to the door in a hurry, Kirishima Touka gave Hoshino Sora an apologetic look, then followed her with big strides and soon disappeared from his sight.
Seeing this, Hoshino Sora silently took a photo of the contents of the log and forwarded it to the large group of the Servant Club. At the same time, he issued new tasks to Yuigahama Yui and others who were on standby.
Hoshino Sora: [You guys go to the library later to look up a map of the Edo period, and then ask about the bamboo garden nearby. That power is the same as Kitagawa's, and you should be able to tell at a glance @Kitagawa Umi @Kitagawa Yudai]
Yukinoshita Yukino: [Report, I saw them trading. I was originally following the grave robber who was selling the dead's clothes, but he was so agile that he sped up as soon as he spotted me and disappeared in an instant.]
On the building, Yukinoshita Yukino frowned as she watched the tomb robber quickly squeeze into the crowd and disappear soon after. That guy was so fast, he was definitely not an ordinary person!
Hoshino Sora: [I understand. You can take a break now. Leave the rest to us.]
Miura Yumiko: [Don't worry, although we didn't catch the tomb robber, we took photos of strong evidence. At least that clothing store will definitely not be able to operate. ]
Coming to Yukinoshita Yukino, Miura Yumiko gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, then quickly tapped her fingers on her mobile phone and sent out what she had gained.
Hoshino Sora: [Well done. When this incident is over, I will treat you to a celebration party.]
Yuigahama Yui: [The president is so awesome! ]
After turning off his phone and putting it back in his pocket, Hoshino Sora returned to the performance hall. At this moment, the geisha girl was standing on the stage performing hard, so he gave a look to Yuigahama Yui and others.
The next moment, the three of them stood up and quietly left the store through the aisle next to them.
"Now let's talk about the distribution of the task force. Kitagawa and Kita will go to the library to find a map of the Edo period. Yuigahama and I will use the mobile phone navigation to look for possible bamboo forests in Shinjuku."
Due to the high urbanization rate, there are not many bamboo forests in Shinjuku District. If you want to find one, you can find it within two hours. These two hours are just enough for Kitagawa Umi and Kita Ikuyo to look up information in the library.
Because the library closes at 10 o'clock in the evening, if I go there now, I can still search for two hours if I'm quick, and then I can come and meet up with them after I finish searching.
As for why it is divided in this way, it is mainly because Kitagawa Ikuyo is the only two people among them who have each other's strange abilities. He is with Yuigahama Yui, and the other party naturally has to be with Kitagawa Umi.
"clear."
Although no one knew the purpose of Hoshino Sora's arrangement, no one objected. After parting at the crossroads, everyone quickly moved forward in the direction of their respective tasks.
"Hoshino-kun, wait for me."
Because the speed was too fast, Yuigahama Yui gradually couldn't keep up with Hoshino Sora's pace. She went from walking briskly at the beginning to jogging, and her upper body swayed.
"Gudu."
Looking at the trembling feeling at that moment, Hoshino Sora's mind emerged with the interaction with Kita Ikuyo in the love hotel just now. The two people had completely different feelings, and his little action was naturally seen by Yuigahama Yui, and her face turned red immediately.

Yes, Hoshino-kun is also a man, so he will naturally feel something when he sees this scene.
"Ahem, come this way next."
Hoshino Sora coughed, pointed at the road ahead and spoke.
"Ah."
However, there was nothing but admiration in the boy's eyes, and there was no malice in it. Although it made people feel very shy, it didn't feel disgusting. Yuigahama Yui quickened her pace and walked to his side, following him closely.
Because of the soul connection, she naturally has a high degree of favorability towards Hoshino Sora, and this becomes even more so as time goes by. The sense of closeness that comes from blood makes her want to stay close to him.
Where is Xingye Kong? He only felt a pleasant smell coming. The smell of girls was indeed sweet, which made people feel happy and wanted to bury their heads in their necks.
Perhaps because of what had just happened, neither of them spoke on the way. They walked steadily towards their destination, and the number of people around them became fewer and fewer as the place became more remote.
Soon, the two came to a bamboo forest.
"No, the next place."
After quickly exploring the entire bamboo forest, Xingye Kong shook his head and continued to move towards the next place, but still found nothing. He searched five places in a row, but none of them was what they were looking for.
Kita Ikuyo: [I found a map of the Edo period. There is a large bamboo forest outside the city.]
Just when the two were at a loss, a message from Kita Ikuyo came from the other end of the phone.
Hoshino Sora: [This area, wait, let's go over and explore it]
"Let's go, there's a new target."
"Ok!"
Looking at the message sent by Kita Ikuyo, Hoshino Sora and Yuigahama Yui moved forward quickly.
Image: "Yuigahama Yui", Location: "Images/1715720906-100400559-111670185.jpg"
Due to urban expansion, the bamboo forest originally located outside the city was cut down on a large scale to build a new urban area. Eventually, not a single bamboo forest was left, and it became a commercial city made of steel and concrete!
Soon, the two arrived at the place marked on the map.
It was a bustling commercial area, but there was one place that had never been built. Within a radius of about 100 meters were unfinished buildings and abandoned land. To be precise, these could not be considered buildings.
Because this building only has a foundation, there are a lot of abandoned construction materials next to it.
There is a little open space outside the building, but there is no grass on it. Outside is the road, but there is no one there, and no vehicles have passed by in the whole day. It gives people a gloomy and terrifying feeling.
"I know this place. It's a famous unfinished building in Shinjuku. It's not that the construction company ran away due to debts, but because of frequent supernatural incidents, no one dared to work on it, so it was left idle."
Looking at her phone and quickly searching the news of that year, Yuigahama Yui confirmed that she had indeed seen it, so she looked up while reading the content of the news, and yes, it was this place!
The locals thought it was too evil and told their children not to hang around here. As time went by, no one came here anymore and no vehicles passed by on this road.
There has been five or six car accidents here.
Countless things further confirmed the strange power of this place, and thus an urban legend was formed that ghosts would run out of abandoned residential buildings at night to catch disobedient children.
"Didn't the Yin Yang Master take care of it? This is not the wilderness. Although it is not the city center, it is a place where people live after all. It is still very dangerous to have such a safety hazard."
Looking at the unfinished building in front of him, Xingye Kong couldn't help but frown. He couldn't understand why the Yin Yang Masters didn't care about this place. Could it be that the monsters inside were too fierce? They didn't dare! ?
This shouldn't be the case. If it's dangerous, it should be dealt with. There are so many Yin-Yang masters in the past dynasties. It's impossible that they can't even handle a formation, right? !
"You stay outside, I'll go in and investigate the situation."
Since he couldn't figure it out, he just stopped thinking about it. Hoshino Sora asked Yuigahama Yui to stay where she was while he walked forward.
"I'm sorry, I can't be of any help."
Standing there, looking at the indomitable Sora Hoshino, Yuigahama Yui bit her lower lip and said with a guilty expression, she was clearly out on a mission, but she couldn't help at all...
"Since you feel sorry, then hurry up and get stronger. Yuigahama, you have great potential."
Hearing the voice, Hoshino Sora turned his head and smiled at her, then walked downstairs to the unfinished building. His Zanpakuto appeared in his hand, and he stared directly at the black air that was lingering on the unfinished building.
You can't go wrong, this is the place!
The black energy here comes from the same source as the one on Kitagawa Umi!
