When he met Sugi again, Kitagawa Temple learned that Sugi had injected 50 million yen into the Kitagawa Gojinkai in his own name.

For this, Kitagawa Temple didn't say any words of thanks, but just handed over Aikawahara to Sugi Loggi, explained the general situation, and then handed the recorder to Sugi Log.

After doing this, Kitagawa Temple had no interest in witnessing the follow-up situation of those scumbags, and went home directly to bring out Nishikujo Poor and Kagura Bell.

Kitagawa Temple closed the handwriting of Tamako's mother, Tamako Kashihara, and after reconfirming the information on it, he muttered to himself:

"Tonight should be over."

"Tonight... Come to an end? Wouldn't that be a bit too rushed? ... Kitagawa ... It's better to take it one step at a time. The divine resident Makie next to him lowered his gaze gently, and analyzed in a calm tone: "Admittedly... Now you've been... Got a lot of information, still in the heart like the world..."

"I know what I know." Kitagawa Temple replied simply.

“... Are you sure? "Kamiju Makie is a little unconvinced.

Next to her, Nishikujo was pitifully shrugging at her with a cute look as if to say, 'You really don't understand my temple brother'.

After doing this, Nishikujo pitifully grabbed the collar of Kitagawa Temple again, and lay on his shoulder again, and the puppet looked at the night scene outside the window with oblivious eyes.

This is probably the first time that Beichuan Temple has taken her out at seven or eight o'clock.

And it's also a wealthy shopping area in Shibuya that she has never seen before, and young couples walking back and forth are everywhere.

Especially when he saw some young men and women dressed as lovers, Nishikujo jumped directly onto the head of Kitagawa Temple in pity and excitement.

She patted Kitagawa Temple's head and pointed at the couples in couple's clothes, her eyes full of eager emotions.

"We'll wear them together next time we have time." Kitagawa Temple replied expressionlessly, but his eyes were also attracted by the night view of Tokyo.

Crowded crowds...

Passers-by playing with their mobile phones, flashing neon lights, advertisements on the large LCD bulletin board in the distance...

Tokyo at night has a charming charm.

As a resident here, is the scenery you see in your eyes?

But these have little to do with Beichuan Temple.

All he had to do was pull out Tamako Yukihara, who was immersed in a dream.

That's all -

......

Tamako Sehara's hospital room was filled with a sense of dead silence.

The screen of the ECG flashed with Tamako Sehara's heart rate.

The neat snow-white beds and the thin curtains used for the partitions all make the air float in a completely different atmosphere from other wards-

Kitagawa Temple pulled back the thin curtain and pulled a round chair to sit down.

"Since... It was decided that this time it would be over... Me and poor ... Let's go in together, too..."Kamiju Makie said as he stumbled beside him.

"How else can you do such a thing?"

Beichuan Temple's expression moved, and he asked curiously.

He wasn't much surprised that Makie was able to enter other people's heart image world, but to Kitagawa Temple's surprise, she was able to let Nishikujo Poor also enter the heart image world of Tamako Sewara.

"You can also have the ability to attract souls... I'm here because I've had previous experience... And I'm a spirit now, just power... I'm so much better than I was back then. ”

Kamiju Makie stammered and explained, and then spoke; "I'll go in with the pitiful, and I'll give you a care..."

"It's fine." After thinking about it, Kitagawa Temple did not refuse to reside in Maki-e.

It's a good way to do it, with the gods stationed next to Makie and Nishikujo, and there are people who can discuss things, so there's no need to refuse.

"Let's get started." Kitagawa Temple began to use its ability to attract souls.

After two entries, he also gradually became proficient.

With a subtle sense of detachment, the perspective rises, and the surroundings are abruptly plunged into darkness.

At the moment when darkness fell, a woman's regretful sigh was also heard in the ears of Beichuan Temple:

"Tamako... People always pass away... It's the same with animals... Come, let's bury it under a tree in the yard. ”

The voice faded away.

A strange halo flashed in front of Kitagawa Temple.

The next moment, there was a feeling of stepping on the ground at the foot of Kitagawa Temple.

But this time it's different.

"Huh?"

Kitagawa Temple stretched out his hands.

This is the same palm as in reality.

He glanced at his clothes again.

It's also exactly the same clothes as in reality.

Kitagawa Temple walked over to the mirror and glanced sideways at himself.

Black eyes, delicate face, and deep facial features give people a sense of coldness and hardness.

"But it's completely different from reality."

Kitagawa Temple took a look at its surroundings.

This is also a familiar location for the health room.

The crimson sunset sprinkled the entire health room like blood.

But it's completely different from the first two times.

The pillars of flesh that hung from the ceiling were covered with human eyes on the pink pieces of meat.

They stared straight at Kitagawa Temple.

The ground is also covered with soft pieces of meat... They cling to the floor, wriggling.

A fishy smell ripples through the space, and even if it is naturally opened, it is also filled with this foul smell.

This stinky smell is familiar to Kitagawa Temple.

Exactly what I just smelled in the morning... The taste of Yusuke Hanagaki and his girlfriend after lingering.

Nishikujo, who was lying on the shoulders of Kitagawa Temple, covered his nose with his round arms with disgust.

She still retains her Muppet appearance in this situation.

But what about a god resident Maki-e?

Beichuan Temple raised his head, and finally found an illusory shadow beside him.

Seeing him look at him, Maki-e stammered and asked:

"What the hell is this... What's going on? Completely... It's not like Kitagawa you said..."

"The mind is like the world, and it may not be static." Kitagawa Temple analyzed rationally: "The last time I came over, Yuko Yuhara's mental state was obviously very stable. But over time, her mental state was unstable, and she became like this. ”

"I... That's not what I'm talking about... What do you do next? ... This kind of mind is like the world... Maybe there will be monsters. Kamiju Makie stammered and wanted to say something, but saw that Kitagawa Temple had opened the locker on one side and took out a broom from it.

"What are you doing?" Kamiju Makie asked in a strange tone.

Kitagawa Temple didn't answer, but struggled to break the front end of the broom without raising his head. The head of the broom fell to the ground, and at the same time, the iron part of the broom was twisted into a sharp spiral.

With a blank face, he raised his hand and plunged it into the deformed pillar of flesh next to him.

Poof!!

Blood splattered everywhere, spilling all over the face of Kitagawa Temple.

"You're in... What are you doing..."The god resident Makie looked at the cold and fierce appearance of Beichuan Temple, his mouth moved, but he didn't dare to ask out loud anymore.

"Make weapons." Kitagawa Temple squeezed the thing in his hand while digging out the crowbar from the messy locker.

He stuck the crowbar behind him and continued: "Now that Sacred Heart Girls' School is what it is now, I don't know what's inside, it's always right to be well prepared. ”

"On the contrary, it's you, why have you become a physical entity, and you are still a phantom?"

Kitagawa Temple slanted a gaze in Maki-e.

“... I don't know... Probably because... This inexplicable mind is like a question of space. ”

There were pieces of flesh all around, and there were wriggling pieces of flesh attached to the ground...

It was as if the three of them had entered the body of some creature in an instant.

"Poor thing, it's time for us to go." After Kitagawa Temple had everything ready, he turned his head and said hello to Nishikujo who jumped on the table and didn't know what he was doing.

Nishikujo pitifully listened to Kitagawa Temple's words, turned his head directly, and pointed at something with his round arms.

That's a book.

Stiff black book cover with gruesome paintings of angels dragged into hell by endless pieces of flesh.

"Is this...?" Kitagawa Temple set aside a sharp iron rod and picked up the book.

The book is very weighty, as if it were made of iron or copper, and the pages are so thick that they don't look like a few pages.

Kitagawa Temple turns the first page.

I saw that there were lengthy words written on it, in order to avoid the suspicion of the number of words, only one paragraph is released here for the time being:

‘O mes frères， qui à travers cent mille dangers; Etes venus aux confins de l...’

"What is this... Meaning? "Kamiki was stunned.

She had never seen this language in the village for many years.

Kitagawa Temple squinted at her, stroked the words on it with his hand that seemed to be carved out of fingernails, and replied in a calm tone, "This is the French translation of Song 26 of Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno, but here is only an excerpt. ”

"French?"

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

Kitagawa Temple was too lazy to explain these things to the god resident Maki-e, but translated word by word: "I said, brothers! You have made it to the West with all your might, and now your life is short, and your time is limited, so there is not one of you who does not want to go through the no-man's land behind the sun..."

"Oh." Kamiju Makie pretended to understand: "But what does this mean? ”

"The Divine Comedy Inferno 26 is divided into four parts, the first is Dante's curse on Florence, combined with the background of the time... Forget it, you won't understand it, you just need to know that this part is about 'Ulysses' last voyage'. ”

Ulysses is portrayed as a hero in Homer's Osedus, but in Dante's Divine Comedy, he is a vile villain. He committed all sorts of sins, and even more contrary to God's will, and insisted on sailing to the far west, and at the last moment he provoked the wrath of God, and the whole ship was knocked down and sunk to the bottom of the sea—and the translation of the passage was what he had inspired the sailors on his last voyage. ”

But is that really the case?

Kitagawa Temple fell into thought.

Dante's portrayal of Ulysses may indeed be despicable, but he is also a humanist figure.

Ulysses was cunning, but he also experienced the sins of mankind and challenged God's authority on his last voyage. This was undoubtedly something that could never be revealed under the oppression of religious thought at that time.

"Do you want to use it as a metaphor?" Kitagawa Temple narrowed his eyes.

To borrow Ulysses' self-metaphor, this may be the idea of Tamako Sehara.

She did a lot of things that high school students would never have been able to do, and it wasn't much like the image of Ulysses.

If the other party is using Ulysses as a metaphor, then the ceiling and the ground are now full of disgusting flesh, like an apocalyptic scene, doesn't it look like 'Ulysses' last voyage'?

If he fails this time, Kitagawa Temple estimates that it will be difficult for him to enter this mental image world again.

He wanted to keep scrolling down.

But the next page seems to be glued together, and it can't be opened at all.

Even if you can't read it, Beichuan Temple can't leave it here like this.

He found a student bag from the bed next to him, stuffed the book in, and walked out with a spiral iron pipe in one hand.

The aisle is filled with pink meat tissue, like the esophagus of some kind of creature.

Kitagawa Temple subconsciously looked out.

An inverse pentagram was drawn on the playground with a lime machine.

For some reason, the inverted pentagram drawn by the lime machine seemed to shimmer with scarlet blood.

"Kitagawa, right." Makie lowered his voice and said hello in Kitagawa Temple's ear.

Well?

Kitagawa Temple turned around.

At the staircase on the right, a monster full of tentacles was moving down from the top of the staircase.

This monster is densely covered with eyeballs, but it also makes a youthful and beautiful voice like a female high school student:

"Teacher... Teacher... Teacher...? ”

This strange and infiltrating scene made the god reside Makie shrink his head.

If it were a resentful spirit, she would not have shown such an expression.

But this thing is different.

It's full of elements that are nasty to be in the god of Maki-e.

Kitagawa Temple glanced at the wriggling monster absentmindedly, and when he saw that the other party didn't find himself, he walked in the opposite direction.

In the same way, he did not forget to check around.

The entire school building was empty, and there was no movement except for the voices of young and beautiful female students coming from everywhere.

"Let's go up to the rooftop and have a look." Kitagawa Temple took it lightly and touched the rooftop step by step.

You can get an overview of the whole situation from the rooftop, and in the same way, you may be able to find Tamako Seihara hiding somewhere.

After some hiding, Beichuan Temple stood at the bottom of the roof staircase.

In front of him was a constantly wriggling, two-three-person massive fleshy monster with a body.

"Kitagawa... What to do? Kamiju Makie looked at the monster in front of him and couldn't help but float back a few meters.

It's such a disgusting shape, and it makes that cute and sweet sound, which really makes people shudder.

"Or find something else? In the world of mental images, you don't have the power you have in reality. "Kamiju Makie didn't stutter at all when he spoke this time, and his words were extremely smooth, and he could barely hear anything bumping.

"Looking for another way?"

Kitagawa Temple was silent for a while, and glanced at the fleshy monster blocking the door in front of him.

He seemed to be thinking about the gains and losses.

And then...

Then, in the horrified gaze of the god resident Makie, he decisively carried the steel pipe and rushed up—

Do it, it's over.
