Akiyama seemed to have discovered something extremely terrifying, and she let out a shrill cry that revealed extreme fear in her voice.

And with her scream, Rai Hucheng opened his bloody mouth and laughed: "Sosuke is here... Sosuke is here! You two, no matter who you are, can't escape! ”

His laughter lingered in the air before coming to an abrupt end.

Kitagawa Temple withdrew the fist that had been beaten in Lai Hucheng's face, and turned back to face the figure entangled in black resentment.

The resentment on the other party is like substance, and the resentment that rushes to the sky is attached to the young body like a liquid.

Through the help of Death, Beichuan Temple saw the other party's appearance clearly.

It was a wet boy, and his blindless eyes revealed resentment towards the living.

His mouth was half-open, black liquid sliding down the edges, and his mouth was so dark that he couldn't see anything.

This must be the son that Lai Hucheng misses, Lai Hu Cangsuke.

"Hey, hey... None of you can escape... Both of you will become the filthy blood that breaks the seal. ”

"That's why you chose this place to sneak up on us?"

Raito Castle didn't answer, but just looked at Kitagawa Temple and Akiyama Saion with the same resentful gaze as his own dead child, and muttered to himself:

"I... It's already dead, it's already a decade ago... Man will always be such a creature, choosing to forget, choosing to stand in the midst of the majority. The group is warm, and the heart is ugly..."

"Hahaha, I was killed by the people of Mikawa, and when the tragedy is forgotten, it is no longer a tragedy, just a simple joke."

If it can't be unforgettable, what is a tragedy?

It was precisely because the lessons of the year were not enough to wake up this group of Mikawa people that Lai Hucheng showed such an expression.

Raito Castle... He had been dead since a long time ago.

The only ones who are alive are the walking dead who bear the name of Raito Castle.

And after listening to Yoritojo's words, Akiyama Saine, who was softened, surprisingly didn't say anything, and a look of fear and shame appeared on her face.

From the standpoint of the people of Mikawa, Akiyama Ayane is also a person who has forgotten everything in the past, so she is not qualified to complain at all.

But she didn't want to die... She really didn't want to die.

Even if she knew the secrets of Mikawa Town's past that had been deliberately forgotten, she didn't want to die!

Akiyama looked at the young resentful spirit, and her heart seemed to be clenched.

The sense of crisis unique to the living urged her to turn around and run away, but under the pressure of the other party's aura, her legs seemed to have taken root with the ground, and she couldn't move at all.

But at this moment, Kitagawa Temple took a step forward.

Step by step, he walked towards the young resentful spirit that was full of fishy blackness, and the next moment-

There are blue sparks blooming.

The fire flickered, but with an indescribable magic.

And the fist that accumulated the faint blue fire and the black mist smashed on the young child's body in an instant when the Beichuan Temple was firmly striding on the horse's foot!

Flame... It's beautiful.

This is Akiyama's only thought.

Boom!!!!!

The spirits of young children are scattered!

Kitagawa Temple retracted its posture and ignored the stunned Akiyama Saion.

He just looked back at Yorito Castle flatly.

Lai Hucheng was also watching him.

The blood-stained face was full of astonishment, as if it had never expected such a thing to happen.

Kitagawa Temple didn't say a word, just looked at him calmly.

There is no complacent posture of some male protagonists after victory, and there is no sad look for him, let alone bad words.

Kitagawa Temple has maintained a plain and insipid look throughout.

And under the gaze of Kitagawa Temple, Lai Hucheng looked at his palm.

After a while, he covered his eyes with his left hand and whispered... I sobbed quietly.

Without repentance or saying anything, he just cried quietly.

The night breeze blows through the grass of Mikawa Elementary School, making a rustling sound that seems to want to sweep away all the sad past.

Yes, everything is in the past.

Lai Hucheng wanted to tell himself.

In this familiar night breeze one after another, Yorito Castle seems to be reminded of the time when he and his gentle wife walked through the small town of Mikawa.

It was March when the cherry blossoms were scattered.

Time seems to stand still.

His wife was holding her shoulders and tilting her head, looking at her gently.

......

There is no greater sorrow than the death of the heart.

When Ryoko Okano finally arrived at Mikawa Elementary School and put the handcuffs on Yoritojo's wrists with her own hands, Kitagawa Temple saw the look of relief in the other party's eyes.

Rather than carrying on with the pain, it is better to end here.

Yoshito was officially arrested.

Beneath his Tokyo mansion, he secretly built a cold storage store, which housed the corpses of all kinds of cruel dead young men and sealed blood.

After that, he will be treated, and after the treatment, it will be the interrogation process, and the hiding place of the four children will be quickly discovered.

Because it was too late, Kitagawa Temple and Akiyama Saine were lowered down the ramp, and the recording of the confession was also made by Yoshiko Okano and placed tomorrow as an exception.

"Are you alright? Miss Akiyama? Thank you so much tonight. ”

Kitagawa Temple walked down the ramp with Akiyama Saine, and behind it was a police car with flashing police lights.

Akiyama Saion's mood calmed down, she shook her head, and said softly:

"It's fine. And also... Thank you, Kitagawa-kun. At that time, he was reluctant to let me leave because he found Laihu, right? ”

In this regard, Beichuan Temple did not give her an answer.

He just stared into the distance.

Seeing that Kitagawa Temple didn't give her an answer, Akiyama Saion shook her head, and her voice was still a little trembling:

“... Kitagawa-kun. ”

"Huh?"

“... Do you think we are guilty? Mikawa people... Are the residents of Mikawa Town guilty? ”

The heavy and speechless despair and great sadness of Yorito Castle just now made Akiyama Aine a little overwhelmed.

What are the people of Mikawa Town like?

Should they be forgiven for choosing to forget?

Have they sinned?

Akiyama Aine couldn't figure it out.

When Kitagawa Temple heard this, he also took a look at Akiyama Caiyin.

It is said that young girls will always have superfluous sorrows when they are in adolescence, and they will think about some things that they don't have.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case.

Faced with this question, Kitagawa Temple stood on the ramp and pointed in the direction of the artificial river channel of the Mikawa River:

"Maybe there's the answer you want to know."

There is a small fire jumping along the artificial river, as if someone is offering sacrifices to someone by the river.

"Who's that...?" Akiyama's tone was uncertain.

"Let's go over there and have a look." Kitagawa Temple proposed.

The two men descended the ramp and walked down the side street to the long road on the bank of the river.

Looking down from here, you can see middle-aged men and women crouching on the riverbank, muttering small sacrificial words.

In front of them were five Krathongs.

The water of the Mikawa River is reflected in the water lanterns, and it looks sparkling.

By the light of the fire, Akiyama saw clearly the faces of the men and women who put down the water lanterns.

She made a sound in surprise:

"That's... The parents of the Hanazawa family, who are they sacrificing for so late? ”

Akiyama Aya turned her face sideways to look at Kitagawa Temple.

Beichuan Temple looked at her and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Five Krathongs... Symbolizing the five souls...

In Japanese legend, Krathong is used to guide the soul of a person by putting down the water.

The small five water lanterns flowed slowly on the water, and between the reflections of the firelight, there was a slight halo rippling.

Snuggling up to each other like little kids...

Akiyama Aine couldn't stop her tears anymore, but she didn't dare to cry too loudly.

Five children.

In addition to the four children who were abducted and killed, there is also a surplus Krathong that symbolizes the drowning of Sosuke Yorito.

From the water of the Mikawa River, the krathong is swept away and far away.

In this way, the people of the Hanazawa family atone for everything they have done.

Akiyama thanked them.

It turns out that in the scattered corners of Mikawa Town, there are still people who remember the sins they once committed and repent of them.

This wordless confession deeply touched Akiyama's heart.

It turns out that the town where I have always lived... It also has such a magnificent stroke.

She looked back and wanted to thank Kitagawa Temple.

But at some point, the side has become empty.

Beichuan Temple has already quietly left-

......

Three days passed.

Kitagawa Temple and Akiyama Saion's confession admission has ended.

Laihu Cheng, who was already dead, also explained everything.

He had made the bodies in his Tokyo mansion alone, and the four children's bodies were hidden in a natural cave in the mountains of Tanzawa.

Inside, the police found the bodies of four children who had been reduced to bones, as well as their tattered clothes.

This case, which spanned more than ten years, also ended in the cry of the people of Mikawa.

The news also reported that Yori's case was defined as malicious homicide.

In the newspapers, Kitagawa Temple and Akiyama Aine are referred to as Young Male A and Young Female B, without revealing their real names.

For a while, public opinion was everywhere, and even Lai Hucheng's "Lost Mikawa" became popular again.

This is the real urban weird story that has happened-

"Hey, Beichuan boy, aren't you really going to go back?"

Ryoko Okano leaned against the side of the police car, her head sticking out and glancing at Kitagawa Temple.

In this regard, Beichuan Temple shook his head: "I still have my own things to do." ”

"Hmph... Don't make any mess of it for me! Ryoko Okano pursed her lips, no longer daring to doubt Kitagawa Temple's ability to cause trouble.

This guy from Beichuan Temple really goes wherever he goes, and big cases happen.

Like the last case of hiding corpses in the park, and the current Laihu City incident, they are all events that are enough to shock the whole country.

Such an incident is not enough to happen in more than ten years, but in just two months, two happened.

"I know."

"Tsk..."

Looking at the expressionless appearance of Kitagawa Temple, Ryoko Okano smacked her lips, deeply feeling the unhappiness of being used as a tool man by this goods.

But if it's not happy, the case still has to be dealt with.

She took a puff of her cigarette, looked thoughtfully at the already dusk sky, and said in a trance: "I wish there were so many tragic cases in this world." ”

After a long while, she slapped the steering wheel and turned her head to look at Beichuan Temple: "Don't talk this nonsense with you bastard!" Anyway, remember not to cause me so much trouble, I'm going back to the police station. ”

Kitagawa Temple heard the concern in her tone, so he nodded and saw him off.

After sending Yoshiko Okano away, Kitagawa Temple re-lifted the backpack and poked out of his bulging collar the little head of the ragdoll.

The little head of the puppet stretched out his hand and pulled his face, and made a grimace at Ryoko Okano, who had already driven away.

"Poor, don't be naughty, let's go."

Listening to Beichuan Temple's words, the puppet's little head nodded vigorously, and then got into the neckline of Beichuan Temple.

There's more to come.

Kitagawa Temple took out the kagura bell and inserted it into the water cloth bag of the backpack, and walked step by step to the ramp of Mikawa Elementary School.

The Laihu Castle incident is over, but he still has something to do.

As an outsider, Kitagawa Temple can't make any comments on the matter between Raito Castle and the people of Mikawa, but there is one thing he must do.

The child resentful spirit who is still wandering in Mikawa Elementary School, he has not succeeded in any of them so far.

Last time, Yorito Sosuke was only forcibly dispersed by Kitagawa Temple, and there was a little shortfall.

Like the other four child wraiths, he didn't disappear.

And the task of Beichuan Temple now is to help them get out of the sea of suffering.

"Here we are."

It was already dark, and the air around Mikawa Elementary School was filled with an eerie chill.

A faint smell of blood permeated the tip of the nose.

After the last turmoil, Yuchuan Elementary School was put on a yellow bar warning that prohibits entry, and the yellow bar warning was pulled several layers, up and down, and everywhere.

But Kitagawa Temple just easily jumped over the yellow bar warning and went straight to the entrance gate of Mikawa Elementary School.

The gate was locked as always, and from the perspective of death, the whole gate was covered with resentment, making those who approached subconsciously shiver.

It was naturally impossible for Beichuan Temple to forcibly break through through the main gate and enter it, after all, the seal was placed there, and if he wanted to enter like this, he could only break the seal.

And that's a stupid method, there is no way that Kitagawa Temple can do that kind of thing.

"And the entire Mikawa Elementary School communicates with the Mikawa Elementary School in the spiritual realm... As long as you enter this Mikawa Elementary School, you will naturally enter the spiritual realm..."

Kitagawa Temple took a deep look at the white charm at the door, which was gradually eroded by resentment, and turned to the left side of the school.

Tall trees are planted to the left of the school to block the view, and from here you can see the towering barbed wire fence that has been stripped of its pale green rubber.

As mentioned earlier, on the far left of Mikawa Elementary School is an open-air swimming pool.

And here... It will also be the entrance and exit of Kitagawa Temple into Mikawa Elementary School.

Beichuan Temple's eyes sank, and the dead air converged and merged.

Under this infusion of dead qi, the tip of the dagger, which had completely shed the cursed blood, bloomed with silver light.

Kitagawa Temple raised his hand.

The dagger left three silver rays in the air.

Bang Chang !!

The barbed wire fence is split into the shape of a small 'door'.

Beichuan Temple retracted and stretched out his hand as if he had sensed something.

When the fingertips touched the 'door', a faint ripple appeared.

"Sure enough, it's connected to the Spirit Domain!"

Beichuan Temple no longer hesitated, and the whole person directly broke into it.

Mikawa Elementary School.

Kitagawa Temple is back.
