"Tea?"

Andersen lifted his teacup.

"No, I still have a part-time job."

Su Qi accepted the information.

There was a knock on the door, and it was a house delivery man with a motorcycle helmet and seal logistics printed on his clothes.

"Gentlemen, who will sign this letter?"

Andersen took it and signed for it.

I opened the letter and looked at it, and slapped the door of my head.

"Oh my God."

"What's wrong?"

"The transfer notice, Kuromen wants to transfer a few members to the Tokyo branch."

Su Qi looked at Hans Christian Andersen suspiciously, then why did you have a resistant expression?

"It's hard to say, you'll know when he's coming, and he'll be there next week at the latest."

Hans Christian Andersen folded the letter, and from this reaction it seemed that the person who had come was troublesome.

The two chatted for a few words, and Su Qi left.

In the elevator room, I happened to meet the uncle who was waiting for the elevator, and the elevator door was about to close, but the other party helped him hold down the elevator.

Only then did Su Qi notice that the house delivery man seemed to be a foreigner, with chestnut hair with self-curly hair and a mustache, which looked a little ...... Retro?

"I'm in trouble."

Su Qi nodded slightly when he entered the elevator and thanked him politely.

"I am a knight, sir."

The other party's reaction seemed to be a bit exaggerated, and Su Qi was stunned for a moment.

Did you travel back in time to the Middle Ages?

Elevator arrival.

The courier went out of the building and rode a nimble courier motorcycle.

The bikes have windmills, castles, painted paints for knights' shields, and a line of Spanish words.

The Spanish word means: Don Quixote.

……

Watanabe Office.

"Is there a trial next week?"

Su Qi and Ueno seniors sorted out the materials.

"No, it's canceled, it's settled out of court."

"Oh, Higashi Paper Co., Ltd. has agreed to the terms of compensation, they haven't been biting to death before."

"I've talked to the teacher a few times, and I know that there is no chance of winning, so I stop the loss in time.

Besides, it's good for the parties, the more the lawsuit is fought, the more money is burned, and there is no need.

The only bad thing is that we have no business again. ”

The two were talking.

A call came in.

"Hello, Watanabe Law Firm."

Su Qi picked up the phone, talked for a while, hung up the phone and said:

"Business is coming."

"What a case."

"Claim workers' compensation."

"Oh, it's the kind of case that the teacher likes."

Mr. Watanabe originally specialized in criminal cases, and defended the defendant and suspect before the prosecution.

After that incident a few years ago, he began to turn to copyright cases, labor arbitration cases.

This kind of case is generally on the side of the disadvantaged, and the cost of litigation is generally not good, but it does fit Mr. Watanabe's character.

Mr. Watanabe is now very, very fond of scolding those unscrupulous capitalists.

He had long been open to money.

Now he is a lawyer who is "driven by interest".

……

The client who had just called me sent the case materials by fax.

Ueno-senpai took it to Watanabe-sensei first, and decided whether to sign an investigation agreement.

The process should be simpler than the last Hasegawa beauty salon case, and the copyright case is generally relatively simple, nothing more than a question of whether it is copied or not, and it is impossible for this thing to give you a whole wife murder and cheat the bail.

Su Qi sat at the front desk, and a familiar feeling suddenly came to his mind.

Shrine, someone is praying.

Rats are generally used to pray at noon...... Not the little one.

The prayer comes from the shrine of the shopping street telephone booth.

Su Qi saw a face he had ever seen.

It's the woman.

The backpack woman who appeared in the textile factory at the time of the Gu Bird Incident was a follower of the Gu Bird Order.

Su Qi was on the bathroom door at the time, leaving a message with a fire transmission to help her escape the round-up of the Metropolitan Police Department.

And left a "mystery" about the shrine.

But I haven't gotten any feedback.

Originally, Su Qi didn't care about this matter, it was nothing more than a failed attempt.

But unexpectedly, he actually gave him a small surprise at this time, and the woman actually found the shrine.

……

Commercial area, public telephone booths.

Look at the white light shrine under the payphone.

Doctor Kujo, frowning slightly.

From the moment she entered this phone booth, she felt an eerie and mysterious atmosphere.

It's as if I'm being looked at by some mysterious supernatural thing.,There's a feeling of looking up to the gods.。

This white light shrine......

She remembered the feeling of the ritual in the Gu Bird Order, and although she was not sure what she was doing at the time, the feeling as if she had come from the abyss, was very similar.

Doctor Kujo has always classified it as a paranormal phenomenon, and she herself has similar mystical abilities.

She knew there might be some mysterious organizations in the world, including the pioneer church that killed her parents.

If she wants to find out the pioneer, she must first find this hidden "mysterious world", but she has been searching for 20 years, and she has only found some clues.

Including the closest she to, finding the Gushu Bird Order and picking up the body of the oracle.

However, unfortunately, she was unable to ask for any information during the corpse interview, which may have been due to the fact that the corpse had been dead for too long, or for other reasons.

She was not as lucky as Su Qi to meet Hans Christian Andersen and join the Black Gate Club.

Until this time, she obtained the "divine revelation" left by Su Qi.

She knew that this could be her chance to get in touch with the mysterious world she had been pursuing.

She actually wanted to come yesterday, but she couldn't spare time because the body needed to be disposed of.

……

in a phone booth.

Mystery spreads.

Animal-like prayers, rituals......

Doctor Kujo sensed the information.

Eight materials are required to perform the ritual.

She rummaged through her backpack, found some, and went out to look for a lot of things that were easy to buy at convenience stores.

Back to the phone booth to complete the arrangement, according to the prayer phase of the ritual, the mystery spreads, the unknown knowledge.

"The blessing of the famine, the relief of the old days.

Ninety-nine-eighty-one above the god master.

A great being sunk in the depths of the sea. ”

Doctor Kujo had a glimpse of the existence beneath the deepest, seductive and crazy indescribable.

The Hall of Mysteries opens at 10 p.m. on weekends......

Dr. Kujo opened his eyes, looked at the white light hanger that appeared in front of the shrine, and picked it up and held it.

Wise creatures, thread-raising monsters.

Genes, Thinking, Inspiration......

The threads hang down under the hanger.

Slowly spawn a puppet.

The woman with long hair and a shawl, wearing a white coat, has a corpse-like iron blue skin with corpse spots.

The body was covered with stitches and stitches, as if the limbs and heads were stitched together.

The woman's face was covered with a white cloth that covered her face.

On the white cloth, there is a "normal" expression.

Inside the white coat, there are eight pairs of white cloth with expressions.

Happy, angry, sad, happy, circled, crossed, mocking, funny, can be changed at will.

A total of nine "faces", nine expressions.

Nine doctors, nine "head" dolls.
