night.

Ise Shrine is particularly lively tonight.

Preparations for the New Year’s Prayer Festival are still in progress.

Although people are panic due to various previous events and people are unsure about whether the Prayer Festival can be carried out smoothly, work is ultimately work.

The quiet community hall, which used to be after nightfall, has now become much noisy.

Jun Kuroda was wearing a formal witch suit and was sitting in Kagura Hall.

With her, there were several witches of similar age.

These witches are the ones who will dance Kagura dance in front of Kagura Hall and accept it.

Kuroda Jun closed his eyes and stabilized his mind, but Qiao Qiao's words lingered in his ears during the day and could not be removed.

Don't come to the rehearsal, what exactly does he want to say?

Although Jun Kuroda had the idea of ​​retreating, he finally came here.

This is the task she has to complete.

The music sounded, which was a melodious tune formed by the interweaving of traditional instruments such as shakuhachi, Sanmi, and Taiko.

The melody that has not changed since time immemorial.

It's time.

Jun Kuroda opened his eyes and stood up.

Step by step, step by step, walk out of Kagura Temple.

Outside the hall are priests and witches who participated in the preparations for the Prayer of Prayer, and Kuroda Jun's father and sister are among them.

bell--

The Kagura ring in his hand swayed, making a crisp and pleasant ringtone.

Kuroda Jun danced slowly, his steps were filled with mysterious beauty between movement and stillness.

As the lights swayed, she glanced at the direction of the back mountain.

It's time.

Kuroda Jun poured spiritual power into his whole body, trying to trigger that.

However, when she was ready, she suddenly realized that the one was gone.

“Huh?”

Jun Kuroda's movements stopped, and his whole body became dull and lacked agility, and then fell forward.

Bang-

Jun Kuroda, who fell to the ground, suddenly divided into countless corpses with a stinking smell.

"!"

Hideki Kuroda present was surprised and seemed to realize something. She rushed to the stage to confirm Kuroda Jun's condition.

On the other side, in a corner of the temple, Kuroda Jun opened his eyes.

"How could it be?"

She stood up.

I was about to open the window and see what was going on outside.

One hand was placed on her shoulder.

"Are you Kuroda Jun? Tsk, you're not cute."

A clear female voice came from behind Kuroda Jun, causing her to turn her head.

Long silver hair, bright red eyes, and black and white dress. The woman has a beautiful appearance, and sharp canine teeth are revealed between the corners of her raised mouth.

"Qiao Sang asked me to come over from all over the place. I won't be able to compensate you well."

The woman, Yingting Wuye smiled as if she was very angry.

......

Ise Temple, in the dungeon.

Silent.

When one level goes down, there is no priest guarding him.

First, because the preservation here is very strict, sending people is a waste of manpower.

Secondly, it is because there are many monsters here, and there are many people who are good at bewitching people's hearts and controlling their spirits. If something happens, it is human life.

In this cage illuminated by the light for many years, a figure shuttles through it.

All the priests on the first level were sleeping. At this moment, he was the only one in the dungeon.

He skillfully walked through the second floor, and at the same time arranged the techniques at some nodes, and then came to the third floor.

In the third dungeon, there are no gaps in the cage.

All cages are made of steel. After the prisoners are imprisoned, the outside is remelted and cast, and sealed with cypress wood, and sealed with a large number of techniques.

Whether physically or spiritually, it is a complete prison.

The man walked through these prisons.

Outside the prison, there are various names written.

Descendants of Yamata Orochi, anaconda.

The weird thing that caused trouble to Heian Kyo, the big tengou.

The ghosts and gods of Suzuka Mountain, Ogamaru.

Such things are powerful and weird things that have left their reputation in historical legends.

The man was about to place the magical talisman on prison.

Suddenly, he felt something and turned around.

One person stood at the entrance of the third floor.

He was wearing the most ordinary white hunting suit and his hands were empty.

However, at this moment, the other party just stood here, which was enough to make the invader feel trembling.

"Where should I start?"

Qiao Qiao, wearing a white hunting suit, looked at the person in front of him who had sneaked into the third floor of the dungeon, held his chin and said as if he was very distressed.

"By the way, let's start with the beginning of the incident, Aoki Takashi's death."

"You met Aoki Takashi during a certain eradication process. He is a reporter who likes to pursue strange news. Most spiritual masters stay away from him, but you are different. You provided him with a lot of information and allowed him to write popular articles. After all, he is a spiritual master, and his real spiritual master experience is always more attractive."

Qiao Qiao walked two steps forward.

"Well, yes, Aoki Takashi was the first dead man, even before Kashiki Ayako."

"You told Aoki that someone would cause trouble on the Ise God's Prayer Festival and provided relatively real and credible clues. Aoki naturally could not miss this opportunity, so he came to Ise. However, he was killed directly by you. The body was made into a zombie and implanted with a technique. That afternoon, you controlled Aoki to return to the hotel and died by an explosion. As for why you used the method of exploding, on the one hand, it was to create the illusion of the old god's trouble, and on the other hand, it was later."

"Of course, there are traces of your forgery in Aoki's notes. Most of the vague speeches are made up by you. Since they are disguised as journalists who are trapped in madness, no one will pursue their handwriting."

"Then, it was Kashiki Ayako's death."

"I always find it strange why Kashiki Ayako was dismembered, why did she create such a simple ritual look, and why did she keep her body temperature so that people can feel illusion."

"Later, I figured it out."

"In reasoning, there will be such a scene. Multiple people were killed. Each person intercepted the body and finally pieced together a complete body. The murderer disguised himself as being beheaded and killed, losing his head."

"The same method is used here."

"Of course, Ayako Kashiki was indeed dead, and was killed cruelly and without direction."

"Her death is just to make people feel the illusion of evil gods, and another purpose, and has nothing to do with who the victim is. It is probably just because she is Tanizaki Koji's girlfriend, which is more convenient to cheat."

"So, where did she go after her body was taken into custody by the police?"

"After all, if a person explodes and dies, and becomes so bloody and vague, spread out on the wall, then is it impossible to find out whether he is a person or a half-person?"

"The same corpse was 'dead' twice in different ways. This is a common method of crime in reasoning, isn't it, Mr. Nobuji Fujihara?"

Qiao Qiao looked forward.

The lurking figure was the dead Nobuji Fujihara.
