Sayoko didn't quite understand.

The old woman in front of me didn't know her at all.

How can you ask yourself for help?

She subconsciously stopped.

"Huh?"

Qiao Qiao turned his head and soon saw the old woman as well.

"Weird."

He could see the other party's identity at a glance.

That old woman, it's weird.

It's not a ghost or an evil spirit, it's like some kind of monster.

Qiao Qiao subconsciously took out a gun in his backpack.

"Soul Killer, please wait, I have no ill intentions."

Seeing this, the old woman hurriedly explained.

Qiao Qiao glanced at Sayoko.

After all, Sayoko has a specific body and will attract strange arrivals, so it must be strictly guarded against.

"What's the matter with her?"

Qiao Qiao protected Sayoko behind him.

"Actually, I want to ask this little girl to go into that building and help me find something."

The old woman was a little vague, and what she was referring to was the memorial hall that Koizumi Yakumo's former residence had been turned into.

"Ah, please don't be nervous, I just want to see that thing, the photo should be this statement, I just need you to take a picture for me."

"Why don't you go in yourself?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

"Well, it's not a secret, that building has a strong enchantment to expel weirdness, and it's okay to say that a guy like me can't enter the house."

The old woman explained.

Hearing this, Qiao Qiao took a serious look at the direction of the Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Hall.

Indeed, there are several enchantments, and ordinary weirdness is simply impossible to approach.

Probably because Koizumi Yakumo himself is a soul exterminator, and the Soul Exterminator Association is worried that the items around him will change due to the long-term infiltration of spiritual power, so they set up such an enchantment.

"So, what do you want to see?"

Since Sayoko is here, Qiao Qiao is naturally more tolerant, and it is not a troublesome thing to help the elderly.

"Actually, it's a painting."

The old woman seemed to be a little nostalgic.

"It's supposed to be a painting of cherry blossoms, but I don't know exactly."

She looked embarrassed.

"Actually, you are not the first person I asked, I have approached many people before, some of them turned a blind eye, some politely refused, and some people agreed, but they never showed up again."

The old woman was slender, and seemed to have done her best just by standing.

"I don't have much hope, but I want to give it a try."

She glanced at Sayoko.

"I don't know why, as soon as I saw this little girl, I subconsciously appeared, probably because I felt something, maybe I could realize my wish today."

Spiritual powers are attracted to each other.

Sayoko's specificity must be the reason why this old woman feels something.

"Is there anything else about that painting besides cherry blossoms?"

Qiao Qiao was not interested in the story behind it, and since he had promised the other party, he naturally had to investigate it clearly.

"Well, that painting should be beautiful."

Is this a feature?

Qiao Qiao tilted his head.

He kind of understood why the other people that the monster old woman had asked for nothing had followed.

"It's a painting that makes you feel the breath of spring."

The old woman added.

"Cherry blossoms represent the arrival of spring anyway."

Qiao Qiao complained.

"That painting should have been painted by Mr. Koizumi himself."

The old woman finally said.

"Mr. Koizumi refers to Koizumi Yakumo, this is a noteworthy point."

Qiao Qiao wrote these things down in his notebook.

Koizumi Yakumo was a writer, but not a painter, and although most well-educated people at that time had studied painting, Koizumi Yakumo was blind in his left eye when he was young, so he probably didn't have good painting skills.

"Well, I'll wait here for the two of you."

The old woman bowed and stood there.

"It always feels a little strange."

After walking away, Sayoko turned around, and the place where the old woman was standing was empty.

"Weirdness always has a strange attachment, just like Suzuka's love for games."

Qiao Qiao explained.

"It's almost time, let's go to the memorial and meet the others."

The Koizumi Yakumo Memorial Hall is a typical Japanese-style building that was renovated from the former residence of Koizumi Yakumo.

Passing through the porch is the courtyard, where the grass is green and the maple leaves are dyed red, which has not changed for a hundred years.

In the huge memorial hall, there are only students from the high school attached to Fengcheng University, and there are almost no other tourists in sight, which is quite an illusion of chartering.

On the first floor of the memorial hall, the circular structure introduces the life of Koizumi Yakumo, from his birth in Greece, his growth in Europe, and his career as a journalist in North America and India, until he later settled in Wakuni.

Of course, as a soul exterminator, Koizumi Yakumo is actually more complete in the records of the Soul Exterminator Association.

"Although this ancient book was nominally obtained by chance, but in fact, when he obtained the ancient book, he experienced a big battle with the monster"

"In the book "Strange Talk", not all of them are really weird, some of them are created by Koizumi Yakumo himself, and are made up with reference to the myths and legends of various countries, such as "Keeping the Promise", which comes from the old news of the Covenant of Chicken Millet in China."

"Koizumi Yakumo's blindness in his left eye has always been thought to be an accident, but in fact, according to the association, this should be the result of an exchange with a certain weirdness, of course, he himself is actually still suspicious of this matter, you see, all the photos and portraits of Koizumi Yakumo only show the right half of his face"

In order to travel well, Qiao Qiao had previously consulted the association's records of Koizumi Yakumo.

At this moment, in addition to the tour guide's explanation, he is also helping to supplement Sayoko's knowledge.

"Wow, when you look at it this way, it's really only the right half of your face."

Sayoko listened with interest, and from time to time she asked very pointed questions.

"These two people, no wonder they can walk together."

Kazuya Sakamoto, who was listening behind the two, shrugged.

"Sakamoto-kun, which story in "Strange Talk" do you like the most?"

On the side, classmate Ryūko Saito asked Kazuya Sakamoto.

"My words, it's probably "Sixteen Sakura"."

Kazuya Sakamoto said while looking at Koizumi Yakumo's relics.

"Hey, really? I also think this story is very poignant. ”

Ryoko Saito shouted, and took advantage of the topic to start chatting with Kazuya Sakamoto.

On the other side, Yamaguchi Jin saw the chapters and paintings about the Snow Maiden in the "Strange Tales" manuscript in the glass cabinet, and immediately took a picture with his mobile phone and sent it over.

Soon, there was a response from the Snow Maiden, with a loving expression.

"Hey, hey."

Yamaguchi couldn't help but laugh.

"Yamaguchi-san, the expression just now, I don't know why it's a little disgusting."

"Qiao San, you can't say that about classmates."

Qiao Qiao and Sayoko, who saw this scene, whispered to each other.

"Anyway, I don't think I saw any paintings related to cherry blossoms."

Sayoko looked around, and there were no cherry blossom or spring-themed paintings on the first floor.

"Why don't you ask the guide?"

When it was free time to visit, Qiao Qiao came to the tour guide of the memorial hall.

"Excuse me, is there an exhibition of Mr. Koizumi Yakumo's paintings on cherry blossoms or spring themes, which he should have drawn by himself?"

Qiao Qiao asked.

"Sakura? Spring? ”

The tour guide didn't quite understand it, but he still carefully read his manual.

"It seems that Koizumi Yakumo's own paintings, there are some in the storeroom, which are used for rotation display"

"That's great."

Qiao Qiao showed a kind expression.

"Can you show us around?"
