"When I picked up the grapefruit, my daughter had just started elementary school."

"I've just changed jobs to my current school."

"I still remember that it was one day when I was walking down the road after work, and suddenly, I heard a dog barking."

"It was in a cardboard box, a puppy huddled, probably fresh out of weaning."

"I couldn't bear it anymore and took it home."

"At first, Chizuruko didn't quite agree, she was a little allergic to any hair or something, but Makoto was very happy."

"But later, Yuzu became a member of our family, and Makoto was in elementary school at the time, and almost all of the content of the drawing diary was about Yuzu."

"Over the years, Yuzu has been with us."

"The one I remember most vividly was one night five years ago."

"There was a gas leak in the house, and at that time, we were all asleep."

"Only the grapefruit, it sensed something was wrong and woke us up."

"It saved our family's life, so to speak."

"Later, the yuzu also grew old, and in March, after it fell asleep, it never woke up again."

With that, Shigeru Kamiyama turned his gaze to the photo in his hand.

It was taken when my family went out on an outing.

Younger Kamiyama Shigeru with his wife, and the daughter of about a high school student.

And a dog.

He grimaced with a wistful expression.

But in Qiao Qiao's opinion, if he didn't guess wrong, it might be this dog, Yuzu, who caused Kamiyama Shigeru to fall into such a situation.

Maybe it's just that I don't want to die so early.

Maybe it's just a simple nostalgia for the world.

When it dies, the spirit remains.

Ordinary spirits are actually very fragile.

In the absence of any obsession, the seven days will completely dissipate and die.

And if there is any obsession.

After seven days, it will be transformed into a resentful spirit, or it will disappear due to a lack of yin energy, or it will absorb yin energy and remain.

Yuzu has been dead for two months, if it still exists in the house.

It could only be a ghost.

Being haunted by resentful spirits will lead to a situation like Kamiyama Shigeru that is lacking in energy and has nightmares.

Even if Yuzu just doesn't want to leave this family.

But such an act has brought disaster to them.

Qiao Qiao borrowed the bathroom of Shigeru Kamiyama's house.

Assemble your own revolver.

Since it is a resentful spirit, it must be removed.

Qiao Qiao walked out of the bathroom.

Explained the situation to Shigeru Kamiyama.

"Yuzu?"

Shigeru Kamiyama was a little incredulous.

It's not that I don't believe that Yuzu will have an obsession.

Rather, they don't believe that grapefruit will be harmful to them.

"Unfortunately, Mr. Kamiyama, even if it just exists here, it will cause harm to you and your family."

Qiao Qiao said.

At this time, Chizuruko Kamiyama, who had been busy in the kitchen, suddenly walked out.

"Master, please come back."

“？”

Qiao Qiao tilted his head.

"Say what grapefruit will hurt us, you are a liar!"

"In this world, I can be sure that only Yuzu will not hurt us!"

"What resentful spirits, what yin qi, that kind of thing, it must have nothing to do with grapefruit!"

"Yuzu is obviously our family, and family members will not hurt each other!"

She was emotional.

He still has a knife in his hand.

Qiao Qiao took half a step back.

Shigeru Kamiyama stopped his wife in time.

After more than ten minutes, he was reluctantly persuaded and asked his wife to go upstairs to avoid it.

"Chizuruko, she ...... Despite her allergy to animal hair, she loves grapefruit. ”

"Although being close to Yuzu will make her sneeze for an hour, Chizuruko still plays with Yuzu every day."

"Yuzuko's death is also a blow to Chizuruko."

"She asked me to tear down the nest of the grapefruit, because she didn't want to look at the nest and cause her sad memories."

"Alas......"

Shigeru Kamiyama sighed, as if he was several years older.

"I understand."

In Qiao Qiao's short career as a soul slayer, such a situation was not uncommon.

No one who has died is insignificant to the living.

Whether it's a human or an animal.

Because of this obsession.

Only then will the resentful spirit be born.

"Mr. Kamiyama, I wonder if Yuzu usually likes anything?"

After scanning the room, Qiao Qiao found no trace of grapefruit.

It's early afternoon, and the weaker spirits are probably well hidden.

So, Qiao Qiao needs to lure it out.

It didn't matter if it was night, but Qiao Qiao felt that things were still a little suspicious, so he decided to try it immediately.

"Yuzu's favorite food has been disposed of at home......"

Shigeru Kamiyama glanced at the refrigerator and suddenly thought of something.

"That's right."

He took Qiao Qiao to the courtyard.

There is also a utility room.

Shigeru Kamiyama rummaged through it and pulled out a stick that looked a little shaggy and rough.

"It used to be a stick picking game played by Chizuruko and Makoto and Yuzu, but I didn't play much with it myself."

Shigeru Kamiyama placed the stick next to the kennel as Qiao Qiao said.

Under the sun.

Nothing happened.

"Shouldn't I throw it away?"

Qiao Qiao decided to change his thinking.

Human spirits follow obsessional actions.

The resentful spirit of the animal, Qiao Qiao encountered it for the first time.

I guess I will act according to the habits of my life.

Kamiyama nodded, picked up the stick, and threw it forward.

Almost at the same time.

A white shadow surged out from Shigeru Kamiyama's side.

Towards that stick, rush.

Qiao Qiao didn't shoot subconsciously.

He saw that the white shadow was the appearance of a dog.

It ran on the grass, came to the stick, looked down, and tried to pick it up.

However, its body passed through that stick.

It was a little confused, and tried again, but it still didn't work.

The dog, who was at a loss, returned to Shigeru Kamiyama.

Circling around him, sticking out his tongue, trying to rub his master, but fearing that like that stick, he would find that he couldn't touch it.

None of this can be seen by Shigeru Kamiyama.

"How? Master, does it work? ”

He could only watch as the stick fell to the ground, motionless.

"Well, wait a minute."

Qiao Qiao carefully observed the appearance of the dog.

Then, a conclusion was reached.

This is not a wraith.

Truly.

There is no resentment at all, no yin qi.

To Qiao Qiao to describe, this is an ordinary spirit.

After the passing of life, the spirit that is born.

It's weird.

Because Yuzu died two months ago.

According to normal theory, it should either have dissipated and passed away, or it would have turned into a resentful spirit due to obsession.

It's impossible to remain the same as when you first died.

This is beyond Qiao Qiao's knowledge.

Although, Qiao Qiao can indeed give Yuzu a shot and let it go on the road peacefully.

But such a spirit without resentment, it is always a little inappropriate for Qiao Qiao to shoot.

Qiao Qiao is not some arms-obsessed war maniac.

He was a principled man.

The wraiths must be destroyed.

But ordinary spirits, he prefers to find a boss and let him come and die.

It's just that it seems a bit difficult to bring this spirit to the late-night cafeteria.

Qiao Qiao struggled for a moment.

When he was struggling.

Qiao Qiao saw that a trace of yin qi floating in mid-air seemed to want to move towards Kamiyama Shigeru and wanted to cling to his body.

That's when it happened.

The spirit of the dog.

Grapefruit.

Towards these yin qi, he let out a roar.

Only Qiao Qiao could hear the roar.

It's like protecting his own master, so that those yin qi are suddenly dispelled.

However, since Yuzu itself is just an ordinary spirit.

Such actions can only slow down the accumulation of yin qi, but cannot eliminate yin qi.

See this scene.

Qiao Qiao understood.

Grapefruit.

I really have an obsession.

It's just that it's not concerned with its own death.

It's the Kamiyama Shigeru family.

Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao had an idea.

He picked up his phone and sent a Line to Asano Shrine Maiden.
