On the road, the convoy drove unhurriedly.

In the car, Sanchiko Sakagami introduced the situation of the Satomi Pavilion to Pei Ziyun.

Satomikan is not in Tokyo, but in Hakone.

Located in the southwestern part of Kanagawa Prefecture, 90 kilometers from Tokyo, Hakone is surrounded by green peaks, babbling streams, the snow-capped summit of Mt. Fuji in the distance, and the cherry blossoms in the trees.

Sakagami Sanchiko said seriously: "Yamadaki! The Satomikan Museum is located in Lushan Lake, the deepest 45 meters, and the mountainside is covered with white smoke all day long, when the Shinkawa shogunate, once set up a checkpoint here, the sake in it is very distinctive, it is quite famous in this area, if you are interested, you can try it!"

This kind of sake is carefully made and is fed by the famous Nada no Miya water, and has a unique aroma with a content of about 16%, and people who are nostalgic want to taste it.

"Although Satomikan is built in a very good location, it is not a good place, you should be careful!" said Sakagami Michiko very seriously, she is a responsible person, and since she has become the assistant of Yamada Shinichi, she will do her duty seriously.

Sakagami Sanchiko saw Pei Ziyun's small face serious, but her expression was not nervous, and she was slightly disappointed and a little admired in her heart - she had spent her time collecting information, but she felt that she was not very favored and a little lost.

But her keen intuition found Pei Ziyun's indescribable self-confidence, and she thought again, isn't this what she dreamed of?

She has been cultivated since she was a child, just to serve the samurai in the future, I don't know how many times in the past, she fantasized about what a samurai was like, and the man in front of her, although young, really had the soul of a samurai.

What's not to be satisfied with now?

So, she continued: "Satomikan, back then, it was the Satomi family that had sealed 33,000 stones, and the son-in-law married the daughter of the important minister Tagawa Yamato in order to ensure the family business, and the world was unpredictable, Tagawa Yamato lost power, and the Satomi family was implicated, and the seal was reduced to 4,000 stones for the crime of renovating the castle without permission. ”

"Tagawa Ka, the daughter of Tagawa Yamato, that is, Satomika, was forced to commit suicide, and the retainers who followed her were martyred, and Satomikan became a demon hall. ”

Michiko Sakagami recalls the information she had read in the data room of the Kangawa Shrine.

"According to the information we have obtained at the Kangawa Shrine, not to mention the past, there have been more than a dozen vicious incidents related to Satomikan in recent years, and the most serious incident is the murder of Masahiro Ihara. ”

Sakagami Michiko recalled the content, and he was still a little frightened.

"In the early morning of May 13 last year, a vicious homicide occurred in Hakone, a welfare home for the disabled was attacked by a man with a knife, the incident killed 19 people, and the Japanese Police Agency said that this case is the largest number of victims in Japan in the past 100 years, a criminal case, and the outrageous thing is that the cause of death of the disabled victims was all due to the death of the throat cut, the death was extremely tragic, and it once caused a shock to the whole society!"

"Although according to the information provided by the National Police Agency, the incident occurred as follows: Masahiro Ihara first wrote a letter announcing the battle plan, then broke the glass window with a murder weapon and invaded the welfare home, tied up the staff of the welfare home who came to stop him, and then went from room to room with a knife. He then surrendered to the National Police Agency. ”

"But according to the information from our Kangawa Shrine, this vicious incident is quite closely related to Satomikan. ”

"Masahiro Ihara usually greets his neighbors, and his personality is relatively cheerful, and he often calls some friends to his home for parties, and he is a good young man in the impression of others. However, since Ihara Masahiro went to work at Satomikan, his personality changed drastically, becoming moody and aggressive, so Kangawa Shrine suspected that he was possessed by the evil spirit of Satomikan, similar to the previous Ishishiro Watarto. ”

"In addition, there are some incidents, all of which show that Satomikan has a deep connection with evil spirits, and even we have reason to believe that Satomikan has the ability to control evil spirits. Sakagami Sanchiko said: "It's a pity that I haven't found out who Satomikan is related to. ”

Pei Ziyun frowned and pondered, and asked, "Can't the Satomi Pavilion be closed?"

"I once wanted to close and demolish it, but it happened that I hurriedly worshipped the time, and most importantly, the Satomikan sent Satomi stickers, and many officials and wealthy people joined in, and it is said that they all benefited from it, and their power should not be underestimated. ”

"In addition, Satomikan is said to be connected to the depths of a yellow spring, and although Satomikan is a house of evil spirits, it is also a house of repression, so it has been preserved. ”

"Now, it's a place of dueling. ”

From Tokyo to Hakone, if you use a car, you can arrive in more than an hour, and Michiko Sakagami explained some of the situation to Pei Ziyun at the same time, the convoy has gradually approached the destination.

At this time, Pei Ziyun suddenly felt a shock in his body, and his eyes looked into the distance - there seemed to be some kind of force attracting him.

What's going on?

Could it be related to Satomikan?

Pei Ziyun was very surprised, so he asked, "Is this already in the Satomi Pavilion?"

Sakagami Sanchiko was stunned for a moment, and said, "I'll take a look, well, it's not there yet, but it's not far away, what's wrong? Yamada, why did you suddenly ask this question? Is there something wrong?"

Sakagami Sanchiko asked with some confusion.

"It's nothing, just a little curious where the Satomi Pavilion is. Pei Ziyun smiled and explained casually.

But as the convoy drove it, the attraction grew stronger and seemed to gradually resonate.

"The duel in the arms is stuck in the heat. Pei Ziyun has a hint of understanding, this power is indeed related to the Satomi Pavilion, this kind of attraction, is it the so-called karma?

Soon, the convoy turned to a mountain road and arrived at a place, Sakagami Sanchiko came out quickly, opened the door for Pei Ziyun, and crossed his little hands on his abdomen, bowing deeply to Pei Ziyun: "Yamada, you must go all out, you must come back alive!"

Pei Ziyun saw the nervous look of Sanchiko Sakagami, and said, "Didn't you ask me not to kill people?"

"Ahh Sakagami Sanchiko's face lowered: "You can only come out if you kill the enemy, please don't be merciful, please." ”

"Don't worry, Sanqianzi, no problem! I will definitely come back alive, and you will be able to see me tomorrow!" After speaking, Pei Ziyun also patted the hand of Sanqianzi on Sakagami.

Sakagami Sanchiko watched Pei Ziyun suddenly put his hand on his hand, stunned for a moment, and wanted to pull it away with his hand, but he still held back, and just bowed deeper.

Pei Ziyun got out of the car, waved his hand to Sanchiko Sakagami, and turned to go up.

Satomikan looks like an apartment from the outside, mostly gray-white, the surrounding environment is a little weird, the trees are very lush, the color is black and green, there is only a path from the front door of the Satomikan Pavilion to the side of the road, there is no grass on it, and there are dense shrubs and weeds growing around.

If it's night, there will be a chilling feeling when walking in it, and even if it's daytime, ordinary people will feel a chill when they walk over.

Pei Ziyun went over and knocked on the door of the Satomi Pavilion, but no one responded for a long time, it seemed that there was no one here.

After waiting for a while, a maid came out, her face was snow-white, she was wearing a light-colored maid dress, and asked Pei Ziyun respectfully: "Satomikan here, who are you?

Hearing this, Pei Ziyun felt as if she didn't know anything.

Pei Ziyun took out the invitation from his arms, and this invitation was handed over by Tomoshi Ooka of the Uchiyama Group last time.

The maid looked at the invitation, bowed quickly, and said, "It's a guest, please come in, please come with me." ”

She politely invited Pei Ziyun in, walked through the atrium, passed through several slopes, and came to a high place, looking around, hills, forests, bushes, clear springs, and ancient pavilions were in full view.

Continuing along the quiet stone road, there are guest rooms on the west side of the garden, and you will pass by a pond and an ancient pagoda on the way, which looks large, but it doesn't seem to be very popular, until you arrive at a private room.

"Hello, please come in!" The maid bowed, Pei Ziyun took off her shoes and entered, the maid immediately bent down to tidy up her shoes, and asked, "What do you use?"

"Let's have some sushi, Tianluo woman, and barbecue, you don't need wine for drinks, just have some tea!" Pei Ziyun said naturally, looking around, the interior decoration was very elegant, with murals on the walls, a table in the center, and a lantern-like lamp.

The painting is very strange, it is a woman, a child, a young girl, a young woman, a middle-aged, an old man.

"This painting depicts the horror or sorrow of the character's gradual aging, which is beautiful when he is a girl, but as he grows old, he loses his youth, especially in old age, his face is full of wrinkles, his skin is sagging, and he loses his elasticity and luster. ”

"It's a bit of a haunted house hanging here. Pei Ziyun thought secretly, but remained silent and sat down.

"Hey, I'll do it right away. The maid bowed again, and went out, and crossed the corridor, strange as it sounded, for it was close to dusk, but after a few steps, it became dark, and it seemed as if the sun had set, and I saw that all the furnishings in the room seemed to be very new, but very old, and a thick mist seeped through.

The maid froze for a moment, like a wooden man, for a long time, turned around, walked through the corridor, and entered the depths of the corridor, and saw a faint light—a little light coming through the gap in the paper door.

As soon as the maid approached, the door was opened, and the light was a candle.

The room is 20 tatami mats wide, and the niche inside has an altar with coins and silks, hanging scrolls with mantras, candles swaying and smelling of mold mixed with incense, and a woman kneeling in the center.

"Hime-hye...... The guests came. The maid Mu Ran said.

Hearing the voice, the woman gradually raised her head, and the faint red light emitted by the candle shone on her face, which was an extremely old face, even full of age spots, and she said slowly: "Ah, are you here?

"Every guest, is important to us. ”

"Hi, I see. The maid fell deeply, but as she fell, it seemed as if the last rays of sunlight had vanished, and then the face on it changed rapidly.

The old woman's height shrank, her skin quickly became smooth, and she looked like a seven or eight-year-old Lori.
