Shinjuku District.

In the police station.

Qiao Qiao had just finished taking notes.

Naturally, it is about Tetsu Iguchi's villa.

More than half an hour after he had finished removing the spirit.

The Asano shrine maiden was looking for reinforcements that were only long overdue.

It's a big family.

And it's not just Shinto, Yin-Yang Dao, and Buddha Dao.

Even Qiao Qiao saw a priest dressed in black and looking like he was evading taxes.

It seems that everyone likes Asano shrine maidens.

Qiao Qiao was alone, and suddenly felt a little envious of the feeling of being spoiled by the big family.

As for the police, they arrived late.

It's been an hour since the police cordoned off the scene.

The villa area at three o'clock in the middle of the night was unexpectedly lively.

However, whether it is the police or the reinforcements called by Asako Asano.

When that group of people saw the ruins.

They were all silent.

"You did this?"

A man dressed in a priest's outfit who looks somewhat similar to Ariko Asano, presumably his father.

He came to Qiao Qiao's side while the others were entering the ruins to carry out the aftermath work.

"Ah, first time we met, I'm Shoji Asano, the father of Ariko."

In order to avoid Qiao Qiao's confusion, he introduced himself.

"Hello, I'm Qiao Qiao."

Qiao Qiao bowed, nodded and answered Asano's question.

"Because I found out that the evil spirit of Iguchi Tetsu has assimilated with this building, and has even begun to erode the leylines and absorb the spiritual power in it, I used a bazooka and a soul-killing rocket to purify this building and the evil spirit of Iguchi Tetsu."

He replied earnestly.

"It would take a lot of time to use the traditional method of removing spirits, and at that time, the evil spirits under the control of Iguchi Tetsu had already begun to spread outside, and if not dealt with in time, it would endanger the lives of other residents."

"I have no choice but to take such an expensive measure, which has increased the cost of this removal a lot, for which I apologize."

Shoji Asano heard Qiao Qiao's answer.

Silence.

He looked at the dark green bazooka.

After a long time, he spoke.

"Indeed, in that case, the only way to do it is to use a bazooka."

He nodded in understanding.

"Don't worry, this building will be demolished no matter what, and I will reimburse the cost of it."

"That's a reassuring statement."

Qiao Qiao finally put his mind at ease.

If only he were asked to pay for the whole building.

That's incredible.

Qiao Qiao was even seriously considering which company to choose if he went to the sea to repay it before.

After that, Jobashi and Ariko Asano were taken to the police station.

Fortunately, because of Qiao Qiao's big action at that time, many people witnessed the situation at the scene.

Moreover, the last rainfall operation at Qiaoqiao extinguished the flames, leaving a large part of the bodies at the site to be preserved.

So the whole thing is very simple to restore.

Congratulations.

In the waiting room of the Shinjuku Police Station.

Qiao Qiao looked around.

It was also the first time he had come to the police station.

I don't know if I can eat the legendary tonkatsu rice.

After a night's hard work, he was indeed a little hungry.

At this moment, the door opened.

A police officer, followed by Ariko Asano.

"You can go back and rest, it's hard tonight."

The police officer said to Qiao Qiao, his tone was a little solemn.

After all, in the busiest downtown area of Tokyo.

There was a murderous maniac with ninety-nine girls in a row, and in the end, there was even such a big movement.

I guess a lot of people will be held accountable.

These are not the problems that Qiao Qiao needs to worry about.

He's just an ordinary soul slayer.

Not a detective, not a policeman.

"Thank you."

He walked out of the waiting room.

Asako Asano is obviously treated a lot better than Qiaoqiao.

After all, it's a genuine shrine maiden.,There's a big shrine guarantee.。

"I'm sorry to keep you late late."

After the officer left, Ariko Asano immediately bowed deeply to Qiao Qiao.

"As for the 500,000 yen that I said before, I will find a time to send you money later."

"It's okay, it's okay, being able to let those girls' spirits die is the biggest harvest tonight."

Yes, when the villa was destroyed, the spirit structure there was destroyed.

These spirits can no longer be restrained.

All the resentful spirits were purified in the rain of spiritual water.

In the process of making a transcript, Qiao Qiao saw a photo and information of one of the victims.

Saya Shimada, 17 years old, is a student.

She disappeared eight days ago, and according to classmates, they went to karaoke together and did not return home until the evening.

Because Saya Shimada's parents divorced and separated, they often quarreled.

So both thought that their daughter had gone to each other's house and didn't realize the problem until four days ago.

The reason why Qiao Qiao was impressed by her was because the cat in the wall was lying in the arms of the girl's remains.

Immersed in a faint sadness, Qiao Qiao heard Asano Ariko speak again.

"Jossan."

"Through this commission, I discovered my immaturity in the removal of spirits."

"I have been so obsessed with form that I have forgotten the most important thing in the removal of spirits."

Asano Riko looked at Qiao Qiao, as if she was looking for an answer from him.

“？”

Qiao Qiao is unknown.

But since the Asano shrine maiden said that she forgot something important, it must have been.

"Indeed."

Qiao Qiao could only echo the road.

"Sure enough."

Asano Riko lowered her eyes, her expression a little gloomy.

Qiao San had seen through everything a long time ago, but he didn't say it directly, but wanted to wait for me to find out for myself.

What a gentle person.

Thinking of this, Ariko Asano was a little ashamed again.

While waiting for the police to take notes, she communicated with her father.

Although Qiao Qiao's methods were rough, if he had changed to his father, he might have to demolish the villa in the end.

Judging from the final ending, Qiao Qiao's method is the most effective.

It starts at this moment.

Asano Riko has a [change].

"The most important thing in the removal of spirits is to destroy the evil spirits in a sure way."

"Whether it's understanding the life of the resentful spirit, resolving obsessions, spreading spiritual power to weaken the yin energy, and using various props to restrain the resentful spirit......"

"These methods are all aimed at better destroying the spirits."

"And I'm putting the cart before the horse, blindly pursuing these formal things."

Her voice echoed in the hallways of the police station in the middle of the night, and inaudible voices came from a nearby room.

Even at this time, the police station in Shinjuku is still busy.

"It wasn't until I saw Qiao San's spirit removal technique that I suddenly realized that this was the real spirit removal technique."

"Abandon superficial things like form, and go straight to the core technology."

"So ......"

Asano Riko leaned over.

In a upright posture, he bowed his head to Qiao Qiao.

"Josan ...... No, teacher, please accept me as a disciple! ”

“？”

Qiao Qiao was confused.

He's just an ordinary soul slayer who can be seen everywhere, how can he be the teacher of the Atsuta Shrine apprenticeship?

"Wait, wait, Asano shrine maiden, please get up, I can't be your teacher."

Qiao Qiao felt that there might be some misunderstanding in this, and hurriedly explained.

"You can also see, I only have that kind of rough and ungraceful method of removing spirits, and every time I make a mess of the scene, how can it compare to the shrine's method of removing souls that liberates the souls?"

Qiao Qiao has always felt that Asano's spirit removal technique is more calm and elegant.

Full of academic style.

But now, the Asano shrine maiden has to learn from herself.

This must be something wrong.

"No, teacher, I just want to learn this simple and crude technique of slaying spirits."

Asako Asano said insistingly, her eyes reflecting Qiao Qiao's face.

“？”

Qiao Qiao fell into thought.

In a moment, he came to his senses.

Qiao Qiao understood.

Removing the spirit.

It's actually a lot like cooking.

Different factions, like the cuisine of a dish.

Depending on the treatment, the ingredients used are different, and the final dish is different.

But the quest for deliciousness is unanimous.

Asano Shrine Maiden didn't mean to abandon her powerful Shinto and turn to the simple method of Qiaoqiao.

Like, those skilled chefs.

They don't just indulge in the cooking methods of their own cuisine and do things behind closed doors.

Instead, they travel to learn the best of other cuisines, and are exposed to a variety of ingredients and chefs.

So as to condense their own path.

Asano shrine maidens, presumably, want to learn from others, in order to improve their Shinto sense.

Qiao Qiao was suddenly a little ashamed.

Maybe it's because the work has been going well lately.

He swelled.

On the other hand, the Asano shrine maiden.

Even as a trainee shrine maiden at Atsuta Jingu.

Even if you have a wide range of connections, you have many backers and parents to protect your shortcomings.

Even if you are in danger, you can easily destroy evil spirits.

But he is still willing to learn from Qiao Qiao, who has no special skills.

Qiao Qiao remembered a Chinese proverb.

Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask, is to say the text.

At this moment, the Asano witch is indeed a step higher than Qiao Qiao.

Taught.

Case.

Qiao Qiao thought that he shouldn't hide his secrets.

Anyway, it's not a technology worth mentioning, but if you communicate with Asano shrine maidens, you might be able to benefit from it.

So, he also half-squatted down and gently lifted up Asako Asano.

"Asano shrine maiden, I'll do my best to show you my insignificant soul removal technique!"

"From today onwards, we are comrades."
