In a state where Rina Asakawa covered her little heart and turned white with a little face, Nishijo and Rina Asakawa returned to live in a dilapidated apartment in Adachi Ward.

But to be honest, there are actually some people who want to leave here and buy a new house.

The house doesn't have to be too big, it's the kind of standard Japanese-style two-story small detached house with a small courtyard.

After all, the environment around this rental house is really bad.

Tokyo's Adachi district is the worst place in Tokyo, and the area where Nishijo-style is located is even more dirty and messy.

At night there will always be drunkards passing by shouting and complaining about the injustice of fate.

Some people shouted that they were tired, so they went to sleep directly against the telephone pole.

In addition, robberies and thefts often occur in this area.

It's a little unsafe to let Rina Asakawa live in this environment.

In addition, Xicheng style is a person who pays attention to the quality of life, and there is no need to have money and force yourself to suffer.

Now that the threat of the Eternal Sacrifice has been lifted, there really is no need for him to stay in this place forever.

Similarly, since the threat of the Eternal Sacrifice Society was lifted, the White Mist Miko also successfully hooked up online, and he no longer had to go to Jingbei High School.

So Xicheng decided to take a long vacation directly from Jingbei High School - in fact, it was not much different from taking a leave of absence.

So now the question arises.

Who is the task of finding a house assigned to...?

At this point, Nishiro did not hesitate, and simply called Ishimura Taketo.

This used to be his first dogleg, and he almost jumped up unhappily when he heard his voice, desperately saying that he would definitely contribute to the organization and smear the ground for the Xicheng-style liver and brain.

This successive assurances made Xicheng stunned.

Taketo Ishimura is also a person he can trust in the Koji Society.

And unlike other people who have blood on their hands in the Guangji Society, he is a Xicheng-style personal dogleg, and he has been dealing with Xicheng-style affairs, and he has never been a demon...

When the Guangji members were arrested, Xicheng felt that he still had to pull him.

Anyway, he has been a dogleg for so long, and it really looks like he was also caught with the Guangji Society, and Xicheng himself can't get over that hurdle.

If you have kindness, you will repay it.

This is a Westside code of conduct.

Although it has a certain selfish nature, if you don't repay it, it is not much different from a beast.

"The matter over there in the house was settled in a week... Then here's what happens. ”

Xicheng hung up the phone and looked up.

This is an ordinary residential area in the Bunkyo district.

It's really an ordinary residential area.

There are no particularly elaborate buildings, and the rows that used to look like ordinary two-story small single-family houses were basically ordinary ones.

The snow is piling up on both sides of the road, and the road is empty, so you can see the other side of the road from here.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is -

Xicheng stood firm and looked at the door number next to the small doorpost.

Kitagawa .

It seems that this is indeed the case.

Xicheng Shiki has not forgotten that the young man who has the same lifeless aura as himself said that he would tell everything to himself.

That's exactly what he came to visit.

Why was he able to use the three wheels without having to pay with his life, and why did he have the special energy of death in his body?

Xicheng's eyes flickered, and he reached out to push open the small iron door and walked into the small courtyard.

This small courtyard is very well kept, and there are a few flower pots piled up in the corner, and it seems that the owner of the house, Beichuan Temple, may also have a hobby of raising flowers.

Xicheng walked straight to the door and pressed the doorbell.

After about two seconds, there was a steady sound of footsteps in the hallway behind the door, and then the door was opened, and it was a long-haired girl who was greeted by Xichengshi's eyes.

This is a very beautiful girl.

In the Xicheng-style impression, only the White Mist Divine Son can be compared to the other party in terms of appearance.

This girl is standing steadily, with a three-point smile on her lips, just standing there makes people feel inexplicably comfortable in the bottom of her heart.

Sakura pink lips, long black hair, delicate face shape...

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is really her big eyes that seem to be able to speak.

There's an indescribable wit and eccentricity in it.

This is a girl who seems to be very ghostly and smart.

She glanced up and down at Xicheng Shi, and then narrowed her eyes, her face revealing full interest: "You should be the Xicheng-kun that Sijun said, right?" Sijun happens to be at home, welcome. ”

"It's rude."

Xicheng nodded, changed into the slippers prepared by the other party and entered the room.

Just as it looks like on the outside.

The interior of the room is no different, it is a very ordinary Japanese-style house, the entrance leads directly to the stairs on the second floor, and the right side at the bottom of the stairs on the second floor looks like a bathroom, the left hand side is the living room, and the rightmost side looks like a laundry room and bathroom.

The goal of Xicheng style is, of course, the living room.,He followed the long-haired girl to the living room.,Then he saw a tablet in his hand.,I don't know what I'm looking at Beichuan Temple and... The living room is on the left side by the glass door... Another girl with short hair tied up on a treadmill to lose weight.

There are two good-looking girls in the family?

Xicheng-style eyebrows raised, but he didn't expect that this young man named Beichuan Temple would still have this hobby.

I can't really see it.

"You're here." Kitagawa Temple put down the tablet and pointed to the sofa opposite: "Sit." ”

Concise.

Xicheng style didn't talk nonsense, he simply sat opposite Beichuan Temple, his eyes calm and calm.

"Please have tea, Nishijo-kun."

The long-haired girl handed over the tea at the right time and said with a smile.

"I'm in trouble."

Xicheng Shi took the tea, but he didn't drink it, he just looked at the Beichuan Temple in front of him.

"In order to avoid misunderstanding, I'll start by saying that the one next to me who is running to lose weight is my sister, Eri Kitagawa. She's a sophomore in high school this year, and it's my fiancée, Kamiya Miku, who handed you tea. ”

Kitagawa Temple spoke.

"Really?" Nishijo nodded.

I misunderstood...

"But none of that matters." Kitagawa Temple pinched the tablet, "Let's get down to business." ”

Saying that, Beichuan Temple also took a look at the future of the valley.

Mirai Kamiya over there smiled and nodded, and then she walked to Eri Kitagawa next to her: "Eri, I have a new magazine about weight loss there, and there are some weight loss methods that work very quickly." ”

"Really?! Sister of the future? ”

The girl over there named Eri Kitagawa had a look of extra excitement on her face.

"Hmm. But I put the magazine in my room... We have to go upstairs. Mirai Kamiya said, gesturing upstairs.

"Let's go, then."

Eri Kitagawa, with short hair and a ponytail, urges Kamiya for the future.

"Good, good..."

Kamiya Mirai nodded happily, and was forced upstairs by Eri Kitagawa in this way.

Before being pulled upstairs, Kamiya Miku's fiancée winked playfully at Kitagawa Temple.

"That way, no one can bother us both." Kitagawa Temple handed the tablet to Nishiro Shiki with an expressionless face, "You can take a look at this incident first." ”

"Okay." Xicheng Shi didn't hesitate and nodded.

The tablet at Kitagawa Temple seems to be connected to the police database, and there is a lot of strange information in it.

But it's not these that make Xicheng the most eye-catching, but-

'There are a lot of dead bodies floating at the bottom of the lake in Inokashi's Grace Park! ’

'What happened to Inokashira Park on September 2nd?' ’

A large number of dead bodies surfaced, and police officers were suspected to have been killed at the scene. ’

Well?

This appears to be news material at the time.

Xicheng continued to watch quietly.

These news seem to be a bit messy, but in fact, they have been sorted out completely, and basically all point to one event-

On September 2, 2019, a large number of dead bodies inexplicably surfaced in the landscape lake of Inokashira Park.

There were more than forty dead bodies!

These corpses were dressed strangely, most of them were dressed in priest hunting clothes and witch costumes, and their deaths were horrible and terrifying.

There is also a picture at the bottom.

A female corpse with a black mouth and eyes rolled to reveal an extremely distorted expression of fear.

At first, the police believed that organized murderers were planning to kill people indiscriminately as 'priests' or 'shrine maidens'.

Kill him and throw his body into the scenic lake of Inokashi's Grace Park.

"But in fact, after checking the park's surveillance video, I didn't find that anyone abandoned the body in the Inokashi's Grace Park. And to tell the truth, more than forty dead bodies... How did such a huge amount come into the Ibinotou Gift Park? And why is it transported into the park? Wouldn't it be better to dismember the body on the spot? Moreover, such a large number of corpses sank to the bottom of the park's landscape lake, as long as visitors are not blind, they should be able to see it. ”

The voice of Kitagawa Temple sounded at the right time.

"You mean, these corpses appeared out of thin air in the scenic lake of Inokashi's Bestow Park?"

Xicheng Shi analyzed his words, thought for a moment and asked.

At this time, I don't care about science or not, after all, this world is a world with supernatural events, and it is normal for anything unscientific to happen.

"Yes, it just came out of nowhere." Kitagawa Temple's eyebrows twitched, and his tone was calm: "More precisely, it's the landscape lake of Inokashi's Grace Park... The bottom of the lake... Connected somewhere. ”

Connected somewhere?

Xicheng frowned.

Listening to the analysis of Beichuan Temple seems to make some sense, but-

What does this have to do with him?

The purpose of his coming here this time was to ask about the matter of Miwa and Death, not to assist the investigation of Kitagawa Temple.

Wait a minute... Could it be...?

Xicheng's eyes narrowed.

Recalling the words of Kitagawa Temple just now and this incident... Combined with the price of the three wheels, which will take the lives of the living...

Don't...

"You mean I'm one of the forty or so dead? I'm already dead? ”

The West Castle style spoke.

Yes.

It is precisely because he is already dead that he can use death qi and use the three wheels without paying the price.

It's all dead, how can you pay the price?

But that's not right.

Since the original owner had already died on September 2, why did he only travel over in December?

It's been three months, and the corpses have to stink, right?

And the original owner is also in contact with Taketo Ishimura...

He raised his head and looked at the Beichuan Temple in front of him, hoping that the other party could give him an explanation.

Kitagawa Temple didn't talk nonsense, took out a form and handed it to Nishiro Shiki.

This is...?

Xicheng's eyes flickered, looking at the watch under his hand.

'List of the Dead in Inokashira Gift Park'.

Keiko Xicheng, Gender Female...

Xicheng Yingdou, gender male...

Xicheng....

Xicheng, Xicheng, Xicheng, Xicheng...

All of them are Xicheng surnames!

At the bottom of this bloody form, Nishijo found his name.

Nishijo style, Gender male, Deceased, Place of Origin: Wakayama Prefecture...

"......" Xicheng style.

"You can guess this step without memory, to be honest, I am more surprised." Kitagawa Temple's voice rang out, "That's right, you should have died at Inokashi's Grace Park in the first place." ”

Xicheng didn't make a sound.

Although he had vaguely guessed it, when he saw the facts in front of him, Xicheng was still a little surprised in his heart.

"The reason why I didn't die should have something to do with you."

Nishijo raised his head and looked at Kitagawa Temple.

The other party has the same dead air as himself, so the answer can be imagined.

"It's me, but it's not me." Beichuan Temple nodded and shook his head, "More accurately, you weren't dead at that time... Although he has swallowed his breath, his soul is still forcibly trapped in his body. I just 'resurrected' you with dead air. ”

His voice paused, "But I think you've noticed that you're not a resurrection in your full state. Compared with living people, although you have pain, you also have joy, anger and sorrow, and body temperature... But in reality you are just a soul stuck in this body. By nature, you're more inclined to the dead... That is, the people of that world. ”

"The nature of the body is more inclined to the deceased... Is it? ”

Xicheng reached out and tapped the table.

"But it's because of your special physique that you can use death qi, and you can use that hoodoo thing on your body without paying a price."

Kitagawa Temple spoke.

He said that it should be a three-wheeled order.

Xicheng took a sip of tea.

This young man's eyes were really vicious, and it was indeed the first time he had met such a person after he had traveled for so long.

But...

The West Side style is not jealous either.

He had already investigated the identity of Beichuan Temple in the past few days.

Gojinkai.

The general name is the Kitagawa Gojinkai.

And the Kitagawa Temple in front of him is the titular Kitagawa Gojin of the Kitagawa Gojinkai!

It's a figure like the head of the sect.,And there is some cooperation with the Japanese police.。

It is normal for this kind of person to know himself well.

"I want to ask." Xicheng put down the teacup, "Why was I the only one who didn't die at that time?" What's so special about me? Or do I have some kind of special prop on me? ”

"This." Kitagawa Temple took out a white magatama from the table next to it, "This is the key to saving your life." When it finds you, this magatama is still pumping life into your broken body, tugging at your soul to keep it from overflowing. ”

The other party explained.

Pulling the soul... Conveying life...?

Relying only on this magatama?

Nishijo pondered and picked up the magatama from the tabletop to see what was different about it.
