Ms. Junko Yasuda is Chinese New Year's Eve and celibate.

She graduated from Tokyo Women's University and worked for a trading company.

But about seven years ago, she quit the company for some reason, and relied on her previous savings to buy an ordinary apartment in Suginami Ward.

The reason why she broke the bone was that she slipped while taking a shower at home, which was purely accidental.

After being admitted to Showa University Daiichi Hospital, Ms. Yasuda did not show anything unusual at first, but after her bone injury was largely healed, she began to rehabilitate and often walked in the garden.

It was during that time that Ms. Yasuda was found to occasionally call the names of people who didn't exist, sometimes Shuji, sometimes Hanako, and when she called these names, someone asked who Ms. Yasuda was calling, and she explained that it was her husband and daughter.

But soon, Ms. Yasuda would forget about these things, and as a result, it attracted the attention of the doctor, and the preliminary results were that she was actually schizophrenia plus mild paranoia, and was hospitalized for observation, because Ms. Yasuda's case was very rare, so the hospital later relied on her to apply for a large amount of funds, so Ms. Yasuda did not have to worry about the cost of hospitalization.

"Although the average patient will also have paranoia, most of them are delusions with no logic like a dream, as long as you talk to them a little, you will find contradictions, most of the patients will wake up at this stage, and a small number will have mania, anger and other emotions because of this."

Nurse Kudo said with a palpitation.

"But Ms. Yasuda is different, she ...... How to say it, her assumptions are very logical, at the time of the onset, she can clearly say how she and the 'husband' met, how they interacted, and can also say the preferences and characteristics of her 'daughter', if it weren't for the police who investigated the people she said and found that they didn't exist at all, we would all think that something was wrong. ”

"The police investigated? What about soul slayers? ”

Qiao Qiao was a little curious, this involved the police, how could the spirit slayer also come to investigate.

"Well, after Ms. Yasuda transferred to the department, because I was worried that it was a strange influence, I called the police, and the spirit master seemed to have it, but I didn't find any weird influence at that time."

Nurse Kudo nodded, and when she saw a doctor passing by, she hurriedly stood up.

"I'll take you to see her."

She took Qiao Qiao and Yariko back to the ward of the psychiatric department.

Through the small window on the door, you can see that most of the patients inside are sitting on the bed reading books or playing with their mobile phones, and some are taking a nap, looking very quiet, and all of them are men.

Arriving in the innermost room, Nurse Kudo opened the door.

In the room, two women in hospital gowns were chatting about their student days, and when they saw Nurse Kudo coming in with a stranger, they were immediately a little wary.

"Yasuda-san, these two are the soul slayers of the Soul Remover Association, and they want to investigate some things."

One of the short-haired women nodded thoughtfully, said a few words to the people around her, and then stood up.

The four of them went to the psychological counseling room next to the nurse's station and sat down, and Junko Yasuda appeared calm, without the restless feeling of a mentally ill patient at all.

"Soul Hunter? Do I have ghosts around me? ”

Junko Yasuda couldn't help but ask after confirming Qiao Qiao's soul slayer certificate.

"Well."

Qiao Qiao's spiritual vision swept over Junko Yasuda's side, and there was a slight yin qi, but it was not abnormal.

"Yasuda-san, can you reach out?"

"Reach out?"

Junko Yasuda doesn't understand very much, is it because you want to see palmistry?

She thought of the soothsayers on the roadside.

However, Junko Yasuda still stretched out her hand, and saw Qiao Qiao gently put her hand on her palm, and then, began to channel.

A lot of images appeared in Qiao Qiao's mind.

From Junko Yasuda's childhood, all the way to the present.

Ordinary elementary school, promoted to a girls' high school, all the way through the women's university, found a job, worked, resigned, was injured and hospitalized.

"Huh?"

Qiao Qiao looked at these pictures and always felt that something was wrong.

Although it seems to be a smooth and coherent life, there is a sense of absence.

Of course, in this life, I didn't see the existence of Junko Yasuda's so-called "husband" and "daughter".

"Tell me about my husband?"

Qiao Qiao withdrew his hand and asked.

"Husband? No, I'm not married, I've always been alone. ”

Junko Yasuda asked suspiciously.

"Under normal circumstances, she would not think she has a husband and a daughter."

Nurse Kudo whispered in Qiao Qiao's ear.

"So, I look at the records, I couldn't walk after the fracture, I was taken to the hospital, who was the one who sent it? Neighbors? ”

Qiao Qiao asked again.

"Of course my husband sent me here."

Junko Yasuda replied as she should.

“？”

On the side, Yariko's eyes widened, not daring to say anything.

"Didn't you just say that you weren't married, and you've always been alone?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

"No, I have a husband, he was originally one of my clients, after a cooperation, we left contact information, and then he asked me out to watch a movie or something, and gradually got acquainted, after a year of dating, we got married, and I also quit my job and became a full-time wife."

Junko Yasuda explained in a smooth tone.

"You mean, you resigned from the company after marrying your husband?"

Qiao Qiao felt that things were getting interesting.

But on the side, Nurse Kudo looked at Qiao Qiao with some surprise.

This person actually communicates with the mentally ill without any obstacles.

Who, exactly, has the problem?

"That's right, otherwise where would I get the income to support myself, the income of the foreign trade company is less than six million, how can I live for seven years, don't those policemen even understand such a simple truth?"

Junko Yasuda said rather disdainfully.

"Indeed."

Qiao Qiao also nodded in agreement.

“？”

Yariko was stunned.

Teacher, don't be brought into the rhythm of this mentally ill person.

"Why hasn't my husband ever visited?"

Qiao Qiao asked again, he had in his hand the visit records brought by Nurse Kudo before, and there was no record of Junko Yasuda's husband or daughter.

"He's been here, he's been here a few times, but he hasn't been here recently, maybe he's too busy with work, when he used to come, he would give me tweed, just insert it in the vase in the room."

Junko Yasuda replied without thinking.

Qiao Qiao recalled that at Yasuda's table, there was only an empty bottle, and there were no flowers.

"Well, it probably has something to do with the nightmares I've had recently."

Junko Yasuda suddenly sighed again.

"By the way, nightmares, it's said that I've been having nightmares a lot lately, can you tell me what it is?"

Yariko felt that she could no longer discuss the setting of brain supplement with the mentally ill, so she took the opportunity to change the topic.

Hearing Arika's words, Junko Yasuda's eyes dimmed slightly.
