There is a saying in Japan.

Drowning people climb grass to survive.

This sentence is simple to explain, and it is to the effect that -

Drowning people, even if there is only a small hope like weeds in front of them, will use all their strength to grasp it.

There is no doubt that the desperate Natsuki Sasahara is the drowning person, and the secret method of soul transfer is the weed that she clings to with all her might.

But... Does the Soul Transfer Secret Method exist.

And at what cost to use it?

Nishijo pondered and flipped down.

It seems that the death of Koji Sasahara hit Natsuki Sasahara really hard, and if you turn back this notebook, there will be nothing.

Nishijo closed his notes and pondered at the same time.

He already knew the mystery of the original owner's origins.

At the same time, there is also a corollary for the Xicheng style.

The original owner was supposed to be the next head of the Nishijo family in Wakayama Prefecture, and he helped Natsuki Sasahara find the secret method of soul transfer in the ancient shrine, but he accidentally touched a seal in the process, causing a terrifying resentful spirit to appear... In the end, all the priests and shrine maidens who were in charge of guarding the scene died.

Nishijo-style involuntarily tapped on the tabletop.

Soul Transfer Secret Method, Wakayama Prefecture, Nishijo Family... The most important thing is the resentful spirit in the ancient shrine...

These are all things that are worth investigating in the Westside.

And what he's going to do next...

"Sure enough, I still have to go to Wakayama Prefecture."

Nishijo made a decision.

That's right, to solve these puzzles, you'll have to make a trip to Wakayama Prefecture.

The most important thing is... If the Nishijo-style speculation is not wrong, the Nishijo family in Wakayama Prefecture should still exist.

If you go to that place, you might be able to get some information.

But—

Nishijo-shiki's eyes narrowed.

He only believed what his eyes could see.

Even if it is a family that has a relationship with the original owner, Xicheng Shi will definitely be wary of them.

After all, the White Mist family of the White Mist Divine Son... Isn't it also the family of the White Mist Divine Son?

Didn't they care about the life or death of the White Mist Divine Son?

This kind of supernatural, bizarre family that has been passed down may bring with it some weird and cruel traditions... Maybe the original owner is a sacrifice?

Xicheng didn't want to be stabbed a few times by the people behind him before he had time to investigate.

"Shiki-kun is going to Wakayama Prefecture next?"

The White Mist Miko asked, standing next to him.

"Hmm." This is not a question that cannot be answered, and Nishijo simply admitted, "If you have a new clue, you will naturally have to go over and investigate." ”

The two men searched the basement for a while, but found no useful clues.

"When is Shiki-kun going to Wakayama Prefecture?"

Out of the basement, the White Mist Divine Son asked sideways.

"The sooner the better, because it doesn't feel right over there."

Nishijo replied immediately.

Yes, the resentful spirit of the Saijo family ancient shrine is definitely not a good type, and it feels very bad to give the Nishijo-style.

If you really let that spirit break free... Maybe something will happen.

"The sooner the better... Well... Pretty good. The White Mist Divine Son opened his mouth, as if he was holding back something to say, but he quickly laughed twice and lowered his head.

- It's good, it's good, but it's too fast!

The White Mist Divine Son shouted in his heart.

Seeing this, everyone may already know.

The White Mist Miko is actually the kind of loyal dog character that is particularly clingy, and when he sees someone he likes, he wants to keep up.

But she also knew that this was not the time to be willful.

But reason thinks so, and the emotional element in the mind cries out to let Xicheng stay—at least stay for two or three days before leaving!

Otherwise, it would be too lonely.

But... Wait a minute –

"It's a bit like a wife watching out and not returning to her husband!"

White Mist Shenzi is worthy of being an optimistic girl, and as soon as she realized this, she held back a bad smile and laughed again.

"......" Xicheng style.

Through the stand-in incantation, he could clearly feel the emotions of the White Mist Divine Son, one high and one low, up and down, up and down, ups and downs.

I don't know what she came up with in mind, but she was so happy all of a sudden.

But this time it may be a little long, and there is Rina Asakawa in the house... Xicheng style is still a little worried.

"Miko, how's Rina's condition?"

"Rina's condition is stable... To be honest, she didn't need my care at all. I don't do much on weekdays. ”

Hakumi Miko looked up and smiled as if she was satisfied with Rina Asakawa's sensibility.

"Oh?" Xicheng Shi became a little interested: "What do you usually do?" ”

"Well, I didn't actually do anything." The White Mist Divine Son pinched his fingers and said in a deep voice:

"I got up at six o'clock to make breakfast and prepare a bento for Rina's sister, and sent her to school at about half past seven, during which I bought doughnuts at the donut shop outside her school, and at that time Rina would have a physical education class, and then I would go to the doorman to ask for a sign for tourists to visit, and I would go home at noon, and then wash my clothes in the afternoon, make dinner, and take her home... That's all. ”

The White Mist Shenzi touched his head and added, "I didn't do anything other than that." ”

"......" Xicheng style.

Nothing was done but that...?

No, you're trying to raise Rina Asakawa into a waste?

Xicheng couldn't help but glance at the White Mist Divine Son more.

As if sensing the meaning contained in Xicheng's gaze, the White Mist Divine Son's face turned red, and he immediately waved his hand and said:

"Nope! Actually, Rina wants to do these things by herself, but I'm a little nosy. ”

After saying this, she coughed twice with some grievances, "I haven't fed her yet... When my sister was still around... I do all of this, and I'll sing to her at night. ”

“... In short, let her do what she can. Xicheng opened his mouth and reminded him.

There's no way, if you don't remind me again, I feel that Rina Asakawa, the little chef, is really going to be raised by the White Mist Gods.

"Huh?" The White Mist Divine Son showed a devastated look, and her whole person looked a little desperate: "Then my feeding plan, and singing... And..."

"Neither."

Westside style veto.

“... I know. ”

The whole person of the White Mist Divine Son withered like a tomato that had lost moisture.

There was no way, all her plans after that fell through.

......

Next, the West Side is leaving again.

Only the White Mist Miko knew about this departure.

As for why she didn't tell Rina Asakawa...

First, there is no need, after all, Rina Asakawa lives very steadily now.

The second is the Xicheng-style parting culture that doesn't like to cry and cry - this time he passed and didn't come back.

So all things considered, he didn't tell Rina Asakawa anymore.

This time, the target was Wakayama Prefecture.

More precisely, it is near Okari in Shimotsu Town, Wakayama Prefecture.

However, considering that the Xicheng family is so famous, it is estimated that as long as the Xicheng style arrives at the place, any person can ask where it is.

"But I don't think it's going to work today."

Xichengshi, who had just left the airport, looked up at the sky that had completely sunk, and dragged his suitcase towards the airport taxi.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Xicheng found a hotel to stay.

"Xicheng, I've read all the information you sent."

A young man's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Without emotion, it is smooth and powerful, and it is the voice of Kitagawa Temple.

"Really? How does it feel? Soul Transfer Secret Method? ”

Sitting at the table, Nishijo asked dryly.

He is not a lone ranger, and when he should use his strength, he will not hesitate to use the power of the Kitagawa Gojinkai and the Japanese police.

"I don't have a clue yet. After all, the spell of permanently transferring the soul is unheard of. Beichuan Temple paused, and added: "Although there is no progress on the Soul Transfer Secret Method, I can provide you with some information about the Xicheng family. ”

News about the Xicheng family?

The news of Beichuan Temple came like timely rain.

The next place to go is the Xicheng family.

Before waiting for the Nishijo style to answer, Kitagawa Temple had already spoken: "Nishijo, you should know that the Nishiro family is the number one home in Wakayama Prefecture. But in fact, the reason why the Xicheng family was able to reach this point was the reason why the head of the Xicheng family, Xicheng Jieyi. ”

Nishijo Kaiichi...

The name Nishigi-style has been seen in Natsuki Sasahara's notes.

"Nishijo Jieyi, as the head of the Nishiro family, has a powerful soul mind... If my investigation is correct, he should have reached the level of the Ten Imperial Spells. ”

Ten Imperial Mantras...

The Nishijo style is obsessed with this term.

He had heard Kujou Sara say before that there were very few people in Japan who had the Ten Spells, and even if they existed, they would be antique-like people.

"Nishijo is now in his eighties, and his health is getting worse day by day. Even if he had a powerful soul intent, his body couldn't support him to use such a powerful soul continuum... And maybe it's because the less Keiichi Nishijo's body is, the worse it is. ”

"Really?"

Westtown-style eyebrows furrowed.

He can be sure that Xicheng Jieyi is equivalent to the main pillar of the Xicheng family, and if he falls, the life of the Xicheng family will naturally not be easy.

"That's what I know about the Xicheng family, I hope it can help you. I might also rush to Xicheng's house in the near future... If the resentful spirits hidden in the ancient shrine you mentioned are true, then it is necessary to carry out activities to eliminate spirits. ”

Beichuan Temple is obviously not a temporary idea, Xicheng Shi can see at a glance that he should have investigated the matter of the Xicheng family for a long time.

"Okay."

Xicheng Shi answered, indicating that he had understood.

Either way, it's always good to have a strong helper like Kitagawa Temple on board.

And this person is Sukeichi Nishijo... The Nishijo style is also a little concerned.

He hung up the phone, took out his computer, and began to search for information about the Nishijo family in Wakayama Prefecture.

A variety of search items pop up in an instant——

'Xicheng family? The No. 1 home in Wakayama Prefecture? ’

'Is it a trick or a superpower?' Is there really a psychic character in the Xicheng family? ’

‘......’

Search terms such as these are displayed on the computer screen.

It can be seen that the Nishijo family has been famous in Wakayama Prefecture for a long time.

However, at that time, the young generation of Wakayama Prefecture did not believe that there were ghosts in this world, and they just heard the elders more or less mention the affairs of the Nishijo family.

But now there are strange things, and strange events are frequent everywhere.

At this time, someone dug up the affairs of Xicheng's family.

In the seventies and eighties of the last century, the spiritual doctrine and psychic doctrine prevailed in Japan, and the Nishijo family rose at that time.

I have to say that the power of sand sculpture netizens is still very terrifying.

There were even people who turned to the newspapers of that period, and there was a lot of news about the Xicheng family in that period.

Netizens who are good at this time are interested, and some people begin to investigate the affairs of Xicheng's family.

Everyone is not stupid, as long as you investigate carefully, you can really dig out a lot of hidden secrets.

For example, a certain folklore scholar came to Xicheng's house to inspect and collect style, and for example, a certain councillor has a close relationship with Xicheng's family...

In this way, the status of the Xicheng family was once again elevated.

There are even people who directly refer to the Nishijo family as 'the No. 1 home in Wakayama Prefecture'

Even many live broadcasters who do live broadcasts come to Wakayama Prefecture to find the place where Xicheng's home is located.

"It's really..."

Xicheng Shi, who looked at the information on the Internet, couldn't help but shake his head.

He didn't expect that the Xicheng family was already so famous on the Internet.

This is also estimated to have taken advantage of the wave of supernatural revival, otherwise the Xicheng family is estimated to be hidden in the dark.

"It's just... There is a means of contact with the Nishijo family..."

Xicheng style groaned.

It is true that the people of Xicheng are already in Wakayama Prefecture now, but he doesn't know exactly where the Xicheng family is.

"Even if you want to get in touch with... Do you have to investigate tomorrow too? ”

No way, you can't expect someone else to come to you, right?

Thinking of this, Xicheng-style eyes looked out the window.

Wakayama Prefecture is different from Tokyo.

Although it is not full of low-rise buildings like Yasawa Town, you can feel the difference between it and Tokyo just by looking at the area and height of the building.

Perhaps the only thing that can be appreciated is that the nights are much quieter than in Tokyo.

At least that's what the West Side thought before he was approached-

"Ah Shi, we're here to pick you up."

Outside the door stood a short-haired girl who was about the same age as Nishijo-style.

This girl is pretty, with neat short hair, and when she looks at Xicheng style, her expression is also slightly excited.

And behind her were several men in civilian clothes who stood firm.

It's clear ... These people are supposed to be looking for themselves.

Could it be that he is from the Xicheng family?

Looking at these uninvited guests, Xicheng's eyebrows jumped: "It's no problem to go with you, but are you...?" ”

"......" Hearing Xicheng's words, the short-haired girl couldn't help but look at him more, and frowned: "We are from Xicheng's family, and we came to pick you up, Ah Shi." ”

She took a step forward and introduced herself: "My name is Xicheng Qiansha, and I have known you as an old acquaintance. ”

“... Is it? ”

Nishigi-style looked at this Nishijo Chisa.

For some reason, he always felt that this little girl... Don't seem to want to see yourself here?
