Removing the notebook from the shelf, Nishijo gave him a brief look.

There is no writing on the cover of the notebook.

The cover of the empty notebook looked a little lonely.

It's weird...

Xicheng frowned.

The notebook is still the same notebook, but it is completely different from the notebook in my impression.

But Nishijo is keenly aware of the differences.

He had seen the notebooks of Koji Sasawara and Natsuki Sasahara in Tokyo, and their names were usually left on the cover.

But the cover of this notebook has nothing, which does not fit the research style of Koji Sasahara and Natsuki Sasahara.

"Forget it."

Xicheng shook his head.

Just take that to heart and look down.

This notebook was recorded by Natsuki Sasahara, and you can see this from Juanxiu's handwriting on it.

And the date of the record above...

"Tuesday, February 17, Heisei 27."

Well???

Xicheng-style eyebrows furrowed.

Wait a minute, February 17, Heisei 27?

He distinctly remembered the dates of those notebooks he found in the basement of Natsuki Sasahara's study in Tokyo.

The date of that record book is February 15, Heisei 27.

And the start date of this record book is February 17.

In other words, Natsuki Sasahara began to write this second notebook two days after he came to Nishijo's house.

But—

It's different.

Xicheng frowned.

Why did Natsuki Sasahara secretly write this second notebook?

And it seems that she is still hiding what her husband Sasahara Koji wrote.

Why would she do such a thing?

There was a strange aura at the beginning, which made Xicheng Shi continue to look down.

Only this one line remained in the notebook.

'I succeeded... I'm back at Xicheng's house. No one found out what I was going to do, and no one found out who I was... Even Koji doesn't know it! Under the pretext of studying the secret method of soul transfer, I made a request to enter the ancient shrine of the Saijo family. Enter the ancient shrine of the Nishijo family... I'll be able to do it. ’

The words come to an abrupt end here.

The information contained in it made Nishijo-shiki gently tap on the spine of the notebook.

Natsuki Sasahara came to the Nishijo family for another purpose.

Even her husband, Koji Sasahara, didn't know the real reason why she came to the Nishijo house.

Swipe your finger in the style of the West Pole and flip it to the second page.

Sure enough, the head of the Nishiro family, Saishiro Sukuichi, still wants to live, and has been secretly looking for the secret method of soul transfer, and Koji and I just happened to give him an excuse to find it this time. He allowed us to go to the Saijo Shrine. ’

Maybe the young head of the house called Xicheng can take advantage of it, and I can see that he is actually very confused. People who have gaps in their hearts are usually the best ones to take advantage of. ’

'I'm going to convince him...'

“... Good use..."

Nishijo-style pinched his chin.

This time period should be not long after the death of the original owner's father, so it's no wonder that the original owner is confused.

But it can also be seen from this that Natsuki Sasahara's vision is vicious, and his mind is too meticulous.

If Natsuki Sasahara came to the Nishijo family, it wasn't for the soul transfer secret method.

So what exactly does she want from the ancient shrine of Nishijo...?

One mystery after another, and as soon as one was solved, another came.

Xicheng style continued to look down.

As I expected, Nishijo's only wish now is to see his deceased mother and father, and he hates the current Nishijo family very much. ’

'The stakes are aligned... I was able to take advantage of this. Xicheng style... If I can get his support, it will definitely not be a problem to enter the ancient shrine, and I can even achieve my idea. ’

Judging from the content here, it should be that after Sasahara Natsuki came to Xicheng's house, she had a secret meeting with the original owner without telling her husband, and knew the current wish of the original owner from the original owner.

And after knowing this information, she plans to woo... No, it's trying to take advantage of the original owner.

Nishijo-shiki's eyes narrowed.

He originally thought that Natsuki Sasahara should be considered a good person, and no matter how bad he was, he was a strong woman who was looking for a secret method of soul transfer for Koji Sasahara.

As a result, it now seems... It's not like that at all.

From the beginning, she approached Nishigi-shi with bad intentions, and it was even possible that she would approach Koji Sasahara on purpose.

What kind of execution is this?

She and Sasahara Koji became husband and wife, and gave birth to Sasahara Yuki, and it is even possible that she came for the Nishijo family shrine!

It's no wonder that she, as a mother, was able to so easily hand over the five-year-old Sasahara Yuki to Oe Zi to take care of.

It turned out that she had an early intention.

Westtown-style fingers slide over the edge of the book.

He doesn't like conspiracy theories, but Natsuki Sasahara clearly has his own plans.

And the point is... What does she want to do?

Xicheng style look down.

'The secret method of soul transfer has been found, and it is easy to find... Of course, this is not a thing of the Nishiro family in the first place, from Meiji ... No, from the Taisho period or even before, this is what our family is ... Yes, we take the stuff of the house...'

"Nitori?"

Nishijo-style eyebrows raised, and information about Natsuki Sasahara came to mind.

Natsuki Sasahara, formerly known as Natsuki Chishima, changed her name to 'Sasahara' by marrying into the Sasahara family.

And the name is also a thousand islands, not a lotus.

Could it be that Natsuki Sasahara also hid his real name and married into the Sasahara family?

It's getting more and more interesting.

Xicheng Shiki first called Kitagawa Temple, briefly explained the situation, and asked him to investigate, and then turned to look at Xicheng Chisa.

Chisa Nishijo was concentrating on sorting out the excel sheet on the computer, and she didn't notice the movements that Nishigi-style had seen.

It wasn't until Xicheng patted her on the shoulder that she let out an exaggerated 'ahhhhh

"What... It's Arabic style. Seeing that it was Xicheng style patting himself on the shoulder, Xicheng Qiansha's face turned red.

The exaggerated and strange cry just now made her feel a little embarrassed.

Xicheng didn't care about her little girl's posture, and just asked:

"Chisa-san, do you know about the Nitori family?"

“... Anyway, just call me Chisa. ”

Regarding the habit of Xicheng style that has not changed for a while, Xicheng Qiansha couldn't help but remind, and then she answered the question itself:

"As for the Hotori family... I'm not impressed with that. ”

She replied thoughtfully.

"Really?"

Xicheng didn't let her continue to think, but turned to look at the bookshelf, pointed to the ancient documents, and said, "Do you think those in here are the family history of the Xicheng family?" ”

There are one or two hundred ancient texts here, to say the least.

It is undoubtedly very difficult to find the history of the Xicheng family from this.

Such an inquiry is undoubtedly difficult for a strong man.

But—

"Ahh It takes a little time. It won't be long, though. ”

Chisa Nishijo replied with just one glance.

She didn't refuse, but instead put on a 'leave it to me' expression.

"Then please."

Nishijo-style nodded, at this time, Nishijo Chisa was very helpful.

The Beichuan Temple on the other side has not yet replied, thinking that it should still be in the process of investigation, so Xicheng Shi didn't pay much attention to it, and continued to flip through the record book in his hand.

There is no doubt that the Soul Transfer Secret Method can be used, and I asked Nishijo Shiki to go to Tokyo with me to help, and it did work... In this way, there is also a hole card to negotiate with Nishijo Sukeichi. ’

'Use the Soul Transfer Secret Method to allow us to explore more deeply. ’

This exploration naturally refers to the ancient shrine of Nishijo.

I know all about the West Side style with my feet.

What makes Nishigi Shikiki care most is not this 'exploration', but what Natsuki Sasahara wrote earlier, 'There is no doubt that the secret method of soul transfer can be used, and I asked Nishigi Shiki to go to Tokyo to help out, and it did work.'" ’

This 'success' is naturally the success of the Soul Transfer Secret Method.

But to whom?

And whose soul has been replaced?

There is no way to know this.

This Natsuki Sasahara... There are so many things planned in secret.

Sasahara Koji is with his wife, and it is estimated that he has never seen her true face once.

Nishijo wrote down the name of the place 'Tokyo' and glanced at the date.

It's the end of the second half of the year now, and Koji Sasahara should be dead, but there is no record in this record book.

Obviously, the death of Koji Sasahara could not cause Natsuki Sasahara's psychological fluctuations at all.

This woman is inevitably too ruthless.

The West Side style continues to turn downward.

The rest of the note is simple.

The above records are nothing more than some things about what you have seen and heard in the West Castle Shrine, and there are no superfluous records for the others.

And judging from the fact that the record book fell into the hands of Nishishiro Sukeichi, Natsuki Sasahara's plan should be bankrupt.

It seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, and Natsuki Sasahara has not played Nishijo Kaichi.

In the end, the original owner died because of Natsuki Sasahara's plan, and Natsuki Sasahara has also disappeared to this day, without even a single body.

Seeing that there was no more information, Xicheng closed the notebook and probably sorted out the thoughts in his head.

First of all, Natsuki Sasahara and Koji Sasahara came to Nishijo's house, and at this time, Natsuki Sasahara actually had a ghost in his heart.

Then Natsuki Sasahara convinces the original owner to be a helper and helps her explore the ancient shrine of Nishijo.

Pushing back in time, the original owner and Natsuki Sasahara found the secret method of soul transfer, and found someone to experiment, and the result was successful.

With this result, Natsuki Sasahara negotiated with Nishijo and handed over the secret method of soul transfer to Nishijo Keiichi, and obtained the qualification to continue exploring the ancient shrine of Nishijo.

Then, I don't know if it was Nishijo Sukeichi who deliberately calculated or Sasahara Natsuki made a bad move, and the original owner, Sasahara Natsuki, died at the beginning of last year.

Time has come to this day, and the Xicheng style occupies the body of the original owner and returns to the Xicheng family.

That's probably the way it looks.

There are also some Westside speculations.

If he hadn't deduced it wrong, it would have been very likely that Natsuki Sasahara had come for the terrifying resentful spirits in the ancient shrine of Nishijo.

And judging from the words she recorded in the record book, Natsuki Sasahara should have a deep hatred for the Nishijo family.

And this... It's time to start tracing the trail from what she called the 'Hotori family'.

Ding Ding Ding –

The monotonous repetitive bell rings.

The West Side's cell phone rang.

The contact person is Kitagawa Temple.

"Already have results?"

For the speed of such a terrifying investigation of Kitagawa Temple, Nishiro Shiki was not so surprised.

After all, the other party has a lot of intelligence resources at hand, and it must be very quick to investigate these things.

"Well, I did find something."

Kitagawa Temple was clearly rummaging through something.

"Natsuki Sasahara... Her real name doesn't seem to be Natsuki Qiandao, and when dealing with this account, the Qiandao family seems to have spent a lot of money to take care of the relationship. ”

"Really?"

In Japan, you can do anything as long as you have money.

This is not surprising to the Westside.

"The so-called 'Thousand Islands' is just a cover for Natsuki Sasahara, and her real name is 'Natsuki Hotori'."

Nitori is generally used as a first name in Japanese, but in a few cases it is used as a surname.

"I'm not sure why Natsuki Sasahara changed her name... But presumably there should be a result on your side, Xicheng. ”

"There are indeed some ideas, and Natsuki Sasahara seems to have a relationship with the Natori family in Wakayama Prefecture."

Xicheng Shi did not hide from Beichuan Temple, and answered very simply.

"Nitori House..."

Kitagawa Temple just repeated the name, and there was a rustling sound on the other side of the phone, as if he was taking notes.

"I see. I'll call again when there are new results. By the way, I'm in Wakayama Prefecture, so you can come to me if you have any emergencies. ”

Kitagawa Temple briefly summarized and prompted.

"Hmm."

Xicheng hung up the phone.

It's still more comfortable to cooperate with Beichuan Temple, and the other party doesn't have the idea of fooling.

And at the moment when he hung up the phone, Chisa Nishijo on the other side also made a sound.

"Ah, I've found my family history... But what exactly is this thing for? ”

She was holding a delicately bound thread-bound book.

Although this book is very old, because it is a family history, there is basically no page off.

Just a 'hug' word, you should understand how thick this history is.

That terrifying number of pages is enough to bring tears to the eyes of any scumbag who doesn't like to study.

Nishijo-style took it into his arms and placed it on the computer desktop.

Spread.

The family history of the Nishijo family does record a lot of things.

As long as there is a slight impact on the Xicheng family, it will be registered in the family history.

And there is a record of the house of Nitori...

"Is it here?"

Xicheng stopped turning his fingers.

Hotori House.

It is also considered a large family in Wakayama Prefecture.

From the Taisho period, even pushing forward can be regarded as a family with a head and face in Wakayama Prefecture.

But such a Hetori family is actually attached to the Xicheng family.

In the process of continuous development and growth of the Hetori family, the contemporary head of the family naturally moved his mind.

It's not a crooked mind.

He mainly wanted to separate the Natori family from the Nishijo family, no longer be affiliated with the Nishijo family, and form his own Shinto school.

And this request, of course, the Xicheng family will not agree.

However, due to the suppression of the leylines at the Hetoriya Shrine... That is, the gap between the hidden world and the present world plays a great role, and they do not dare to refuse rashly.

After going back and forth like this for more than half a year, finally, the Xicheng family attacked the Hetori family.

Sacrifice with human blood, take the soul of the entire lotus family, and fill it into the gap between the hidden world and the present world...

In this way, not only can the original resources of the Hetori family be included in the bag, but also the problem of the hidden world and the present world can be solved once and for all.
