"Log: Observed a large number of spirits gathering in the elevator of the target apartment at night, and currently proceeds to the sixth floor via stairs instead."

"Risa Sauce, I live at number 604."

In the stairwell, Yuma Bow said to Ayano Mochizuki, who was recording.

"So, you're going to climb six floors, right, let's go."

Looking up at the pitch-black stairwell, which seemed to circulate endlessly, Ayano Mochizuki pulled two pistols from his waist and put on his tactical helmet.

Her left eye can see in the dark, but she has a flashlight on her helmet and has better vision, so who would be stupid enough to leave it unwanted.

Under the lighting of the tactical flashlight, the originally dark staircase suddenly looked like day.

But the chill in the hearts of the two of them became even thicker.

"Can you see that too? It seems that the stairs are not so easy to climb. ”

Watching the little bird Yu Zhengong quickly pull out a stack of rune paper from his backpack, Mochizuki Ayano smiled bitterly.

Not far away, on each step of the staircase, stood several pale, mutilated, expressionless, motionless figures.

It's like standing there.

"The number of Earthbound Spirits observed so far alone is beyond the known deaths related to this apartment in Lesson 9. It seems that the strangeness in this apartment has existed for a long time...... Try to avoid them, such a number of resentful spirits, if they are alarmed at the same time, the consequences are unimaginable. ”

With that, Mochizuki Ayano, who was wearing a tactical flashlight, slowly moved step by step, and walked past those earthbound spirits.

Those earthbound spirits didn't seem to have consciousness or obsession, just immersed in their own world, ignoring the two people beside them.

The further up they went, the more groundbound spirits there were in the stairwell, and by the third floor, the two of them had no way out.

"Completely blocked...... It seems that there is only a way to open the way. ”

Mochizuki Ayano pulled the safety bolt of the silenced pistol, a little hesitant.

These earthbound spirits seem to be trapped by a trace of resentment, and their strength is not strong, but there are too many of them.

If you use the Hitomi technique, it will inevitably consume too much for her.

But the volume of the silenced pistol shooting at close range is not small, if it weren't for the concern of alarming the surrounding residents, she would have wanted to come out directly with the [Spirit Detective Grenade Type I].

From the third floor upwards, numerous Earth Bound Spirits twisted and wound together, you have me, I have you, and the stairwell was stuffed to the brim.

"The pistol is too quiet, so I'd better come."

Saying this, the little bird Yu Zhengong spread his hands one after the other, his center of gravity sank back, and several pieces of rune paper were sandwiched between his fingers.

If Sosuke Araki was here, he would naturally recognize that the little bird Yu Zhengong was making a gesture of Wing Chun, dividing the middle hand.

Mr. Araki was only teaching himself boxing, but he didn't tell himself how to use it to remove spirits, so he must be testing himself.

Therefore, Kotori Yumako decided to try to integrate his fist technique into his soul removal movement in his own way.

"In the name of Akagi Himemei, wipe away the darkness in front of you."

Powerful spiritual power bloomed between the fingers of the little bird Yuzhen's bow.

Since the last Kamakura, the bond between her and the gods seems to have deepened.

"Good...... It's so strong. ”

Seeing the spiritual power condensed around the shrine maiden, the little bird Yu Zhengong couldn't help but admire.

This is at least the level of a Soul Destroyer who is exempt from the level of [II].

Being able to obtain such an equivalent amount of spiritual power from the gods, the Little Bird Tour clan does not seem to be as declining as rumored.

Feeling the threat of spiritual power, the earth bound spirits around the witch, who were originally motionless, slowly turned their heads.

Following the route of Wing Chun, the witch was a little unskillful and swung her fist towards the nearest earthbound spirit.

The earthbound spirit didn't have time to wail, and immediately burned out in the fire of spiritual power.

She was pleasantly surprised to find that the combination of the operation of spiritual power and the movement of boxing seemed to be surprisingly good.

In this way, the two of them relied on the runic paper in the hands of the little bird witch maiden to eliminate the earth binding spirit that stood in the way, and it took almost an hour for the two of them to finally approach the corridor on the sixth floor.

"You consume a lot of spiritual power, right? Do you want to take a break? ”

Looking at the sweat on the forehead of the little bird Yuzhen, Mochizuki Ayano was also a little embarrassed.

Through external observations, she had known that the apartment had Earthbound activity.

But she didn't expect that after nightfall, in addition to the rooftop, even the stairwell and elevator in this apartment were already filled with earth bound spirits.

Coming up all the way up behind the other party, the more she looked at the strength of this witch, the more frightened she became.

Not to mention the spiritual power of this witch, the gesture of using the rune paper is also extremely unfathomable, as if it implies some kind of fist technique.

At first, her movements seemed to be a little jerky, but later on, her fists were getting faster and faster.

With a slow motion of her left hand and right hand, under the serial Japanese word punch, it can be described as "one punch and one ground binding spirit".

Fists with powerful spiritual power tend to eliminate those slow-moving Earthbound Spirits before they can make a move.

Where is the appearance of a little "bird that can't fly"?

"It's okay, this is also a valuable experience in removing spirits, and there aren't so many resentful spirits for me to practice on weekdays......"

The slightly tired little bird Yuma took out a handkerchief and wiped the fine sweat on his forehead, but his expression was a little joyful.

Along the way just now, she thoroughly integrated the "small thoughts" movements taught by Mr. Araki, and integrated her spirit-removing gestures into her fist technique.

Compared with before, whether it is the smoothness of spiritual power, the efficiency of spiritual power use, and the speed of reaction, it is not the same.

Clearing such a large number of Earth Bound Spirits at once was simply impossible for her before.

Mr. Araki's seemingly random guidance is so powerful!

The more I came into contact with him, the more I felt that he was unfathomable.

……

"Ding-dong".

"Risa-chan, it's my ......"

Walking out of the stairwell and through the empty hallway on the sixth floor, the two of them came to the door of Room 604.

After Yumako Kotori gently rang the doorbell, a woman's frightened voice came from inside the house.

"Really...... Real bow sauce? ”

The ancient sand in the house seemed to be standing in the doorway, looking through the cat's eye for a long time before carefully opening the door.

Letting the two into the house, she immediately locked the door with a "bang".

"It's great that you're here...... I'm so scared at night that I can't sleep at all, I haven't slept well for days......"

With a long double ponytail and a slender body, Gu Yuansha hugged the little bird Yuma Bow tightly with tears in his eyes.

"This is ......" After a few seconds, Gu Yuansha noticed Mochizuki Ayano on the side.

"This is Officer Mochizuki, a friend of mine who is a teacher, she should be able to help you."

"Huh? Police officer? Looking at Mochizuki Ayano, who looked like a junior high school student, Furutsugakusha, who was a high school student, showed an expression of amazement.

"I'm not friends with that guy!" Mochizuki Ayano immediately protested.

In her unforgettable mind, she couldn't help but think of a video that made her angry.

After carefully reading Mochizuki Ayano's documents several times, Gu Yuansha reluctantly believed the fact that the blonde mixed-race girl in front of him with a strange helmet, blue and black heterochromatic pupils, and looked like his junior was already a "social person".

"By the way, Risa Sauce, where are your parents?"

Looking around, Kotori Yu asked curiously.

Risa-chan is supposed to live with her parents, but it looks like she's the only one in the house at the moment.

"My parents...... I went abroad a week ago to discuss business, and I won't be back for a while. ”

Gu Yuansha, who was originally lively and lovely, had dark circles on his face at the moment, and his expression was also a little trance.

To be able to live in this old high-end apartment, her family is naturally good.

Her parents run a foreign trade company together, so she often goes abroad to negotiate business, and she is used to this.

"Time is urgent, I'll make a long story short, there is something unusual in this apartment you live in, can you please leave with us, and talk about the details when we get to a safe place?"

Ayano Mochizuki immediately chose the most efficient way to communicate.

She originally planned to come up to understand and observe the situation, but after seeing the situation in the elevator and stairwell, she only had the idea of leaving immediately.

The anomaly here seemed to be more serious than she expected, and it wasn't as simple as a curse.

"Leave? I've tried...... But...... No, ......" Hearing this word, Gu Lisha's face became extremely pale, hugging the pillow on the sofa, his whole body trembling, and constantly shaking his head.
