No matter how much you don't like to hide your head and tail, it will never disappear again.

Kitagawa Temple got up, and then looked at the low stump.

He saw it in the embodied characters and scenery just now.

This stump in front of you is the stump of a cherry blossom tree.

It's just that before the cherry tree could fully grow, Mu Chiyashiki cut it down.

Speaking of cherry blossom trees, Kitagawa Temple thinks of the strip of cloth he found outside, 'The legend of the nursery rhyme where the cherry blossoms fall'.

This legend mentions a very key word - the forest of a thousand cherry blossoms.

So does this speculation make sense?

The Forest of a Thousand Sakura is the Forest of Taboo.

And the elder brother of Mu Chi Hotaruzuka, who was sent to the black coffin as a sacrifice, still has a nostalgia for his sister, so his spirit calls Mu Chi Hotaruzuka's name every day through the medium of the 'cherry blossom tree'.

The reason why the cherry blossom tree was chosen as the medium is because Mu Chi Hotaruzuka's brother was suppressed by the cherry blossom tree in the Forest of Thousand Sakura. Under this long-term suppression, Mu Chi Hotaruzuka's brother can also begin to affect the cherry blossom trees located at Mu Chi's main mansion.

So every night Mu Chiyashiki could hear the call from the cherry blossom tree in the atrium, which is why he brought a thallium knife and cut down the cherry blossom tree.

At this point, the general context has been clarified.

Although most of it is the speculation of Kitagawa Temple, as long as he finds evidence... There is no problem at all.

To this end –

The next goal of Kitagawa Temple has also been officially decided.

The library of Mu Chi's house or the room of the head of the family.

Basically, it is certain that the living rooms are on the second or even the third floor, and most of the rooms on the first floor are either large lecture halls for reading or places for dining and gathering.

If you explore according to this standard, you will save most of the time of Kitagawa Temple.

But at the same time... If there are any clues on the first floor, then Beichuan Temple can only be missed in vain.

And what kind of room is Mu Chi's house going deeper inside?

Kitagawa Temple swept the path leading to the deeper in the atrium, then looked at the surrounding environment again, and found nothing missing before turning around, walking back to the hearth in the direction of yesterday's exploration, and then going up to the second floor.

The space environment on the second floor was as gloomy as last night, and only the vertical light of the flashlight of Beichuan Temple swept through it from time to time.

Click, click, click...

Kitagawa Temple touched inward step by step.

I've already been here once yesterday, so this time it's a familiar ride.

He quickly swept past the first few rooms, a small bend.

The road ahead suddenly widened. The road is divided into left and right sides... Two parts.

From the right-hand side, you will find a staircase to the third floor.

On the left-hand side is the second-floor corridor that extends forward.

This corridor step did not make Beichuan Temple hesitate, he had not finished exploring the second floor, so it was naturally impossible to go to the third floor.

Without thinking about it, Kitagawa Temple continued to walk forward around the steps and explore the second floor.

I don't know what happened here, the walls are swarthy and cracked.

If it were placed in the outside world, this kind of building would be a proper dilapidated building, and it would be impossible to preserve it until now.

The cracked wall stretched straight ahead with three rooms.

Thinking about it, Kitagawa Temple raised his hand and pulled the room closest to him open.

And then...

Then he just happened to meet a grimace of resentment.

And then—

Boom!!!!

A large hole was broken in the wooden floor.

Because he took a step back in time, this resentful grimace survived.

But this resentful grimace looked at the splashing sawdust, and clearly showed a stunned expression.

This... Doesn't seem right?

Just as it was about to make a fierce appearance again—

"Smashed?"

A dark, cold voice came from the darkness.

"It doesn't matter, I'll hit it a little more accurately next time, it won't make you feel painful."

Belch...

Grimace was stunned again.

And then—

Boom!!!!

Everything was quiet again, except for the sound of the spirit falling heavily on the ground.

Beichuan Temple dissipated the death sledgehammer in his hand expressionlessly, then picked up the flashlight on the ground and walked inside.

At the same time, he didn't quite understand.

These resentful spirits that suddenly appeared behind the back, at the door, above the head, and outside the window Beichuan Temple have actually been eliminated a lot.

A 'scare you out of nowhere' tactic like this... To be honest, Beichuan Temple doesn't feel anything anymore.

Every time he saw this kind of thing appear, his heart basically didn't fluctuate.

This resentful spirit who fell to the ground was not wearing a priest's uniform like Mu Chi Yashiki, and it should be an ordinary person who had nothing to do with the sacrifice.

The reason why I died here... I guess it's just a simple evacuation late.

But... I'd rather be careful and serious, and Kitagawa Temple is not willing to give up any room that might hide clues.

In the innermost part of this room, there is a sleeping futon, and by the window not far from the door, there is a low bookcase, and next to the bookcase is a completely oxidized bamboo ring ruler.

Ring ruler?

Beichuan Temple thought of the words that Mu Chi Zhenshi had said before.

The large lecture hall near the atrium below is where the children receive education, and since there is a ring ruler here... This means that this was once the room where the teachers who taught the children were located.

“... Not sure what useful things can be found here. ”

Kitagawa Temple shook his head and walked to the bookcase.

To be honest, he didn't have much hope that he would find any clues in this place.

After all, the teacher has nothing to do with the sacrifice at all.

But you still have to see what you need to see...

There were two stacks of vertical paper on the table, with dense words written on them, and Kitagawa Temple just picked up one and looked at it cursoly, and found that it was something similar to children's dictation.

Most of the main content above is some ancient Japanese poems and ancient texts, which are very difficult, and basically few children can write all of them correctly.

In the midst of these operations, Beichuan Temple even saw the name of Mu Chi Zhenshi.

This current head of the Mu Chi family, a dozen mistakes can basically be found in an ancient text.

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

Adhering to the principle of 'at least not returning empty-handed', Beichuan Temple silently stuffed this black history of Mu Chi Zhenshi into his backpack.

"That's pretty much it."

After packing up his things, Kitagawa Temple scanned the bookcase again, but didn't find anything worth looking for, so he wanted to get up and go to the next room.

And the moment he stood up, he felt something suck into the side of his face.

Kitagawa Temple looked sideways.

I saw Nishikujo pitifully suck the side of his face with her round arms.

The other hand is waving a piece of parchment letterhead.

Obviously, she wanted to hand over the parchment letterhead in her hand to Kitagawa Temple to make this move.

Kitagawa Temple took off the sheepskin letterhead and put Nishikujo back on his shoulder.

"Where did you get this thing from?"

Kitagawa Temple asked while opening the letterhead.

This little guy is really getting more and more elusive, and even Asamiya Eiyo and Kamiju Makie haven't noticed when she disappeared.

Nishikujo puffed out his chest pitifully, and then pointed his round palm at the male costume hanging on the wall of the room.

Beichuan Temple watched her gesture for a long time, and then asked:

"You mean to say this letter you found inside the mezzanine of the male Wu suit?"

Nishikujo nodded pitifully and vigorously.

But it was at the moment when Nishikujo's pitiful nodding action fell, that Maki-e, who had not spoken much, spoke.

There was a hint of disbelief in his tone.

"It's not... Beichuan, can you understand what the poor sister was comparing just now? ”

From the pitiful irregular, jumping and jumping movements of Nasai Kujo... Can Kitagawa Temple read so much information?

"Probably understand, what's the problem?"

Kitagawa Temple spread out the letter on top of the bookcase and made a questioning sound.

“... No, how do you read it? ”

The god is completely incomprehensible.

"Pity my sister, can't I understand what she means?"

Kitagawa Temple replied as a matter of course.

"Uhhhh

That's fine.

But Nishikujo is pitiful, it's just your godsister who was accepted later, right?

Of course, this sentence was naturally not said in front of Kitagawa Temple, she only dared to whisper a few words in her heart.

Seeing that the god was stationed in Maki-e no longer had any doubts, Beichuan Temple did not care about this salted egg spirit anymore, but began to look at the letter in his hand seriously.

The letter was carried by the teacher, and its importance can be seen from this deliberate gesture.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, the contents of the letter came into the sight of Kitagawa Temple.

'This is the head of the family. I'm sorry to bother you writing this letter when you've been busy lately, but there's one thing I want to tell you anyway. ’

'The one named Mu Chi Hotaru Tsuka... The young woman of unknown origin has seriously disturbed the children's lessons. There are always a few children who will look at her standing in the atrium from time to time, and they will ask her questions after class. ’

The results achieved by this ancient text dictation are not ideal, and if this continues, the quality of the next generation of the Mu Chi family is worrying. ’

So I beg the head of the house, can I let this Miss Hotarutsuka not linger in the atrium during school hours? ’

Isn't that ritual going to happen in the near future?' It's not about me, but I think it's best to let Hotaruzuka-sama stay in her room and rest. ’

'Mu Chi Choichiro respectfully. ’

The content of the letter can be understood at a glance, probably to ask Mu Chi Hotaruza not to stay in the atrium all the time to disturb the children's classes.

It's no wonder that these bear children have such poor grades in silent writing.

Attention was attracted by Mu Chi Hotaru in the past, how could he listen carefully?

It's just that before the letter could be sent, Mu Chi Changichiro died here and turned into a resentful spirit.

There's not much extra information beyond that.

Beichuan Temple patted the dust on his body, and just wanted to get up-

His whole body suddenly rolled backwards.

At the same time, dozens of pale, twisted palms of resentment slammed into the place where he had just stood.

The walls and floors were smashed open in an instant!

Boom!!!!

The cold wind in the forest came through the hollow in the wall, and Kitagawa Temple's heart tightened, and he turned to look at the figure standing in the doorway.

It was a figure with Scarlet Trouble wrapped around it.

Sticky as blood, it dripped onto the ground, burning through a large hole in the blink of an eye.

It's not the same as the Knife Maiden and the 'Shifang Kaguya' who used to swallow the medicine of immortality.

The calamity on this figure has actually condensed into a liquid state!

The flesh and blood of the spirit body were covered with scarlet trouble, and it was not only the liquid that kept sliding downward, but also the pieces of its flesh.

The other party rose to the sky, and his resentment made Beichuan Temple couldn't help frowning.

"Connect... Dissolve... Fall... With me... Falling..."

It opens its mouth-like organs, but it's covered with dripping black eyes that make you shudder at the sight.

The squirming palms in the shadows struck again, and Kitagawa Temple's feet moved, and a few bounces dodged these palms.

While dodging these palms, Beichuan Temple's hands shook, and the sledgehammer of both determination and death qi appeared, and the whole person jumped high.

Dead breath! The blue demon smelting fire also followed suit!

Poof!!!

Flip and tear the opponent's body apart.

The sledgehammer also slammed down on the head of the figure that had suddenly appeared.

But...

"Doesn't it make much difference?"

Kitagawa Temple turned to look at the figures that were gradually squirming together, and then at the deadly sledgehammer in his hand.

The edges of the sledgehammer have been stained with scarlet calamity.

This scarlet curse was like a parasite, attached to the sledgehammer of dead air, constantly wriggling and expanding.

Seeing this situation, Beichuan Temple did not hesitate, and threw the death sledgehammer in his hand at the figure full of scarlet calamity without hesitation.

The deadly sledgehammer hit the opponent's head accurately!

But it still didn't work.

With a disgusting wriggling sound, the sledgehammer was swallowed up little by little.

Even death can infect it...

Kitagawa Temple looked at the scarlet figure and took a deep breath.

If it weren't for the fact that his Kanji had been strengthened by the 'Stone of Trouble', it is estimated that he would be completely infected by Disaster Tsu like a deadly sledgehammer now, right?

"Si-kun, this guy is very wrong, you must be careful."

Asamiya Eternity and the god resident Makie floated out, and their pretty faces were full of solemnity.

They were obviously going to fight alongside Kitagawa Temple.

But—

"You two go back."

Beichuan Temple pinched Kanedo, and said in a calm voice.

"Huh?"

The young Mamiya Yongshi and the god resident Makie were stunned.

"You two go back."

Beichuan Temple emphasized it again and added the reason:

"This evil spirit can even erode my dead air, so to translate... Nor is it a problem to erode the good thoughts of both of you. The two of you are not in a physical state, what if you are infected by calamity... You don't need to tell me, do you? ”

Yes!

This Crimson Scourge in front of you... It's definitely not an existence that can be dealt with easily!

For this reason, it is definitely not worth it to take the Makie of Asamiya Eternal and the gods to reside in Makie.
