"Ayano ......"

"Ayano-chan ......"

A man and a woman stood on either side of Mochizuki Ayano, holding her hand and calling her name softly.

Mochizuki Ayano looked left and right with a little dazed eyes.

At this time, she looked like she was only about eight years old, and her figure was even thinner.

And her left and right pupils are uniformly black at the moment.

This is a Japanese uncle with a handsome face, and a mature woman with snow-skinned blonde hair and graceful luxury.

"Daddy...... Mom? ”

Mochizuki Ayano's pupils shrank, and then she sighed.

"So, am I dead? Died in that apartment......"

"Yes, you're dead...... Same ...... as Mom and Dad."

Her father, who was holding her hand, replied.

The surface of his body gradually cracked into small slender holes, from which fine beads of blood dripped from them.

Then, those small mouths suddenly opened, turning into hundreds of slender eyes, all over the surface of the "father's" body.

Staring at her quietly.

"This is the fate that the people of the Mochizuki clan who have touched the forbidden and peeked into the realm of the gods will eventually face."

On the other side, the "mother" who was holding her spoke.

Her blue eyes, which were originally full of charm, were only empty sockets with blood flowing at some point.

In the face of the drastic change in the painting style of the "parents" next to him, Mochizuki Ayano's expression was unusually quiet.

"Come out, Ayase...... Those who have already died, will not die a second time in front of me. ”

As if a mirror suddenly appeared in front of her, an identical little girl appeared in front of Mochizuki Ayano and gently took the other hand of the "parents" on both sides.

The four of them formed a circle in this way.

"The reunion of my family after a long absence, I was bored by you."

It's just that her pair of pupils are as blue as the sea.

"My life has never been interesting."

Mochizuki Ayano stated calmly with a calm face.

"So...... We need to create something interesting...... For example, like the first kiss experience last time, it's pretty good......"

"You guy who uses other people's bodies indiscriminately every time, I won't give you another chance to come out......"

At the mention of this topic, Mochizuki Ayano's small face suddenly turned red, and he rebuked angrily.

"What are you talking about, I can only call it an 'advance'...... Anyway, if you continue to overdraft like this, this body ...... And that person...... Sooner or later, it's mine. ”

"At least until then, you give me a little rest."

Mochizuki Ayano's eyes turned golden, and flames ignited around her, turning everything around her into a sea of fire.

After that, she felt as if she had fallen into an endless abyss, falling and falling.

……

The tip of her nose twitched slightly, and Ayano Mochizuki opened her eyes in confusion.

"Here...... Is it hell? ”

A strong, burnt smell came from not far away.

Taste of Hell...... Why is it so much like roast meat?

She immediately rolled over and sat up.

Because her eyes were still congested, the field of view of her left eye was still red.

"Officer Mochizuki, are you awake?"

Hearing the voice, the little bird Yuma Bow and Gu Yuansha, who were sitting not far in front of her, immediately turned their heads to look at her with concern.

"It's all right, this apartment, it's back to normal."

"What the hell is going on......"

Mochizuki Ayano was just about to ask, when a communication sound sounded in the earphones.

"This is a group on the ground, please answer when the section leader hears it."

Signal restored?

"Roger, this is Ayano Mochizuki......"

"Section Chief...... Just now...... We fainted? That's right, the woman in red! ”

The agent in the communication also seemed to have just come to his senses, and his tone was very weak.

After the lights flickered just now, the "apartment group" that performed the monitoring duty in the opposite apartment found that the communication with Mochizuki Ayano was interrupted, and immediately called up the surveillance screen of the opposite apartment to check the situation.

But at that moment, they were horrified to find that the more than ten surveillance images of the opposite apartment that were originally intercepted had all become surveillance screens in the elevator.

A woman in red stood quietly in front of the elevator control panel, with her back to them.

Just as they were about to report it immediately and ask for backup, the woman in the surveillance screen turned her head, and her pale face and smile took up the entire screen of the monitor.

Then several people fell unconscious.

After the communication was completed, Mochizuki Ayano took out her mobile phone, and the time on the screensaver was already three o'clock in the morning.

Has it been so long?

She immediately dialed Takeshi Iwata's number.

"Chief, it's great that you're okay......"

"What just happened?"

"While we were tracking the Headless Horseman's trail in Mt. Haruna, we noticed that communication with the apartment group and you had been cut off...... Out of concern for your safety, I immediately sent an urgent request for help to President Tokimoto...... It just so happened that the Kukai presiding officer of Kawasaki Daishi Temple and the high priest Kobo were giving alms nearby......"

On the phone, the tired and frustrated voice of Takeshi Iwata was heard.

After the rift girl incident, he was known as the "Buddha Sniper" in the police station, and in the face of the strangeness of becoming more and more active, he often led the team with Mochizuki Ayano.

"It turned out to be Master Kukai...... So, it was these two monks who came to the rescue of us? ”

Hearing Takeshi Iwata say this, Mochizuki Ayano asked as a matter of course.

Master Kukai is the presiding officer of the famous Kawasaki Master Temple, and the strong person of the Soul Removal Association is exempted from the rank [three].

It is said that the Heavenly Eye Pass he cultivated has already been completed, and he can penetrate all obstacles in the world, and there is nothing to hide from demons and monsters.

However, because of his advanced age, he rarely makes a move.

And the high monk under his seat preaches the Dharma, and he is also a registered repellent of the exempt rank [II].

"No...... According to Kobo Daishi, although the two of them have taken action to remove spirits, there are other people who break the spatial barrier of this apartment and drive away the strangeness in it. ”

"Someone else?"

"Kobo Master is reluctant to reveal anything about this, and it is inconvenient for us to continue to verify it...... Because just three hours ago, Master Kukai was under this apartment building, and he ......"

Takeshi Iwata carefully worded the words, stating the words that made Mochizuki Ayano's pupils tremble.

"Kobo Daishi was grieved, and he took the relics presided over by Kukai and bowed three times and bowed nine times and walked back to Kanagawa......"

"Host Kukai...... Nirvana...... Could it be that we have overdrawn our mana to save us? This apartment is terrifying......"

Until she hung up the phone, Mochizuki Ayano was still immersed in shocking emotions, and her brain went blank.

The presiding officer of Kukai is kind-hearted and highly respected, and can be described as a national treasure in the entire Japanese religious circles.

These characters are nirvana because of the strangeness of this apartment.

This is bound to cause a major earthquake in the religious circles, political circles, and even the royal family.

So, who is the master who shot the spirit?
