After a brief introduction to the school's topography, the timid Tokawa Shuto prepared to take his leave.

"Little Bird Wandering Shrine Maiden, that ...... It's not a good idea for me to say this, but the school has been feeling really bad lately, so if anything goes wrong, please contact me immediately. ”

Before leaving, he hesitated for a moment and whispered.

"Please leave it to us with confidence, Mr. Tokawa." The little bird Yu Zhengong immediately bowed slightly to the other party.

"Okay, next time I come to Kamakura, I'll ride my Sengoku samurai, so get ready to feel the rapid speed of Highway 134, but don't pee your pants."

Hearing Sousuke Araki's words, the Togawa Shuto in the distance walked faster.

Walk up the ramp of the school gate and cross the humble steps to the entrance to the main building of the school building, where the students change their shoes.

"So, next, I want to go and see the dry well behind the school building, okay? According to Mr. Tokawa, this is where the students first notice the abnormality. ”

Looking through the notebook in his hand, Kotori Yu asked respectfully.

In the dry well at the back of the school building, it is said that a student once committed suicide by throwing himself into a well because he couldn't stand the school violence, and after that, the three people who had bullied him also agreed to throw themselves into the same well out of guilt.

Since then, students have often heard the sound of scratching the wall of the well, the murmur of pain, and some students even said that strange hands reached out from the mouth of the well and tried to pull him in.

Of course, this is just a rumor that Togawa Shuto dared to say after he was drunk, and it was also decades ago.

"Ahem...... You just have to act as you want and be transparent. ”

Sousuke Araki didn't care that this was the school, and lit the cigarette in his mouth.

Is it to observe my action pattern first, and then make targeted guidance, Araki-sensei really thought deeply.

Thinking so, the little bird Yu Zhengong walked in front and walked towards the location of the dry well.

Soon, bypassing the school building, the two saw a dry well with large stones on it.

On the boulder that pressed the mouth of the well, there was also a red and white rope and several yellowed rune papers.

"Note Rope and Seal Symbol...... This is the Seal Stone. ”

Kotori Yumayu immediately recognized these two things that she was extremely familiar with.

The Shinri rope is often hung outside the temple gate and on the tree in the shrine to show the boundaries of the gods, and it is used to match the seal and strengthen the power of the seal.

This well, apparently, someone has cast a spell to seal it.

From a distance, she could also sense that the seal on the stone was still strong.

Inside, there was something.

She didn't prepare to touch the well, which was sealed, but turned around to go to the next place where something was wrong.

"Click".

When Kotori Yumako turned his head, Sousuke Araki had already lifted the boulder of at least 200 catties over his head, and was curiously looking at the dark well.

The mouth of this well is extremely narrow, and it is difficult to accommodate a strong man like Sousuke Araki, and the black hole inside can't see how deep it is.

"There's so much room for three people in here, and the people who fabricate rumors should also take a look at it on the spot, right?"

Sousuke Araki held the sealing stone and said with a bow towards the little bird Yuma.

He always remembered Yutaro Kotori's request that since he smoked someone else's cigarette, he still had to fulfill his obligation to "pass on science to the heavily superstitious girl brought up by his grandfather".

"Mr. Araki......" A rare expression of surprise appeared on the unfazed face of the little bird Yumaku, and he raised his hand and pointed at Sosuke Araki.

"It's a little meaning, I have a lot of strength since I was a child, and this kind of small stone can be lifted easily."

Sousuke Araki proudly waved the boulder in his hand.

In the eyes of Kotori Yumayu, just as Sosuke Araki looked at her, several pale, twisted arms slowly stretched out from the mouth of the well, waving like sea anemones.

"Goo-goo-goo......"

Sosuke Araki suddenly felt a wave of abdominal pain hit him.

"Bang knock".

Without looking back, he threw the large stone in his hand backwards, and landed right on the mouth of the well.

The arms that crawled out were immediately broken by the boulder, and a white light bloomed, and they crawled together on the ground with difficulty, making a gesture of "folding".

"Suffered, I don't know what unclean things I ate yesterday, and my stomach has been uncomfortable today...... I'll go to the toilet over there and fix the ......."

Sosuke Araki, who was plagued by abdominal pain, didn't notice it, patted the dust on his hands, and ran into the school building in the distance in a panic.

Only the little bird Yu Zhengong was left, and he was stunned as he looked at the broken arm that gradually turned light on the ground.

"I see, I was demonstrating to me just now that it is safer to directly 'become a Buddha' than to break the seal that will be broken one day?"

However, it is really too appalling to smash the sealing stone so casually to make the resentful spirit "become a Buddha".

Could it be that the pain caused by physical harm reminds the spirit of being human?

She looked down and finished her notes, then turned and walked to the next place.

"Hum ......"

Just as Sosuke Araki finished solving his physiological problems and happily walked out of the toilet, his ears moved as keenly as an animal.

"Hee-hee-hee......"

The gentle breeze seemed to be mixed with a woman's silver bell-like chuckle.

His head unconsciously turned in the direction of the sound.

"You do your thing first, I'll go over there, it's a bit of a concern."

Sosuke Araki shouted to Yuma Yuki, the little bird who was waiting for him in the distance, with a solemn and serious face, and turned around and walked towards the school building behind him.

"Did Mr. Araki find something, or is it better to observe my independent actions in the shadows and then give guidance?"

Thinking so, Kotori Yumako walked alone towards the interior of the dark school building.

……

"Hee-hee-hee......"

With Sousuke Araki's footsteps, the feminine chuckle that kept drifting into his ears became closer and closer.

He had climbed the stairs to the fifth floor of the school building at this moment.

Unlike the four floors below, there are no windows on the stairs and corridors on the fifth floor, so even the moonlight can't shine in.

In the darkness, the dark stairs and corridors seemed to be twisted and stretched.

Just as Sosuke Araki stepped onto the first staircase, the staircase in front of him strangely turned a viscous dark red, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and countless blue-gray heads and arms slowly emerged, as if trying to pull him into it.

Sosuke Araki, who was completely focused on the sound that was getting closer, didn't notice anything unusual under his feet, and he raised his feet and ran, as if playing a piano, and quickly stepped on several heads and arms that had just been outstretched.

The head and torso that he stepped on immediately shattered into white points of light.

Behind him, the entire staircase glowed faintly, returning to its original form.

Following the intermittent laughter, Sousuke Araki made his way to the top floor of the school building.

At this moment, the laughter had turned into a moan, a cry of joy.

"Is it there?" Sosuke Araki's eyes were sharp and thoughtful as he looked at the water tower on top of the attic.

It seems that behind that, there is something that he cares about very much.
