In the middle of the night, Haruru Shirakawa quietly walked out of Ayane's room in Inoue.

He closed the door to his room.

On the fair-skinned face, there are complex emotions.

Calm with a bit of exhaustion.

Looking a little tired, like you've just had some strenuous exercise?

Besides.....

Surprised, regretful, and even a little as if he had seen through the transcendent freedom of all things in the world, like an otherworldly saint!

After returning to his room, Bai Chuanqing did not go to bed directly, but came to the bathroom first, washed his face, and let the cold water hang on his face for a while.

Before leaving, Shirakawa Harukawa took his body temperature again - 30.2 degrees Celsius, which seemed to be slowing down compared to the previous decrease in body temperature.

Even if Shirakawa Haru's body temperature has dropped to this point, it does not mean that he has lost his perception of temperature, nor does it mean that his body will not adjust his body temperature due to different situations.

Now, Bai Chuanqing is also using cold water to relieve his body temperature, which is relatively high compared to him.

"Whew-"

A few drops of residual water hung on Shirakawa Haru's face.

His heart was still a little restless.

The reason, of course, is what he saw in Ayane's room just now!

He really didn't expect that Ayane would be lying on the bed like that at that time.

The environment of the night could not affect Harukawa's vision in any way.

And due to the hot weather, the futon is thin, and Ayane only uses it to cover an area on her stomach.

This also led to the fact that before Bai Chuanqing, he actually saw something quite amazing!

A piece of white flowers, very dazzling!

[Fortunately, I am determined and not moved by external objects, otherwise I .....]

Harukawa shook his head, banishing the beautiful thoughts from his mind.

"It's all because of you little thing!"

Bai Chuanqing looked at Hachi, who was slightly taller than before on her shoulder, and gently tapped her little head with her index finger.

In fact, there was not much reproach in his tone.

"Babble!"

Hachi let out a slightly dissatisfied cry, as if to say, "I'm to blame for this!" Aren't you having a lot of fun watching it? ”

"Ahem!"

Bai Chuanqing coughed lightly.

"What do children know! Don't talk nonsense! ”

Even if Xiaohachi once had the mental level of an adult, but in today's situation, she is only a seven or eight-year-old child, and it is no problem to say that it is a "child's family".

Bai Chuanqing didn't think of bringing her with her on this trip.

But Xiaoba has a unique greedy mood for Bai Chuanqing, and he refuses to stay at home honestly, so Bai Chuanqing has no choice but to take her.

And the reason why I said this thing is because of Hachi, it's really not that Bai Chuanqing wants to find an excuse, but it's true.

When passing by Ayane's room in Inoue before eating, Hachi made a strange sound.

Remind Shirakawa Haru that in that room, there is a strange aura.

This is also the reason why Harushi Shirakawa will come to Ayane's room at night.

If Ayane herself is awake, it's actually just right, and she doesn't need Shirakawa Haru to come to her room so carefully, as if she wants to do something about Seqin.

Since Ayane was asleep, Shirakawa Harushi thought about it and simply settled the matter while she was asleep.

This also has a certain selfishness on the part of Harushi Shirakawa.

Even before, Harukawa and Ayane had mentioned weird information and discussed the issue of "gluttony".

But as the events experienced by Shirakawa Harushi became more and more dangerous, he vaguely understood a truth - the more he knew, the more dangerous it often became!

Not a good thing!

So slowly, Shirakawa Harushi also subconsciously concealed part of the situation.

Perhaps, this is the deep reason why the relationship between the two remains at the status quo and cannot go further.

Even if it is a childhood sweetheart who grew up together, Shirakawa Harushi can't completely open his heart.

So just now, Shirakawa Harushi later thought about not waking Ayane up.

I accidentally saw that kind of picture.

Shirakawa Haru's physique is indeed quite different from that of normal people, and in terms of perceptual perception, it has also been affected, but in most aspects, he still maintains a human posture.

For example, there is a need for food and sleep, and men and women will not have the slightest idea.

will be as restless as it is now.

And the culprit of all this, if you really want to talk about it, is actually .....

This wood-carved doll that Harukawa Harukawa placed on the washstand at this time.

There are no hands, no feet, only a cylindrical body.

The inside seems to be solid and has a certain weight.

The most striking thing is the drawings engraved and imprinted on its surface.

A pair of eyes, made into an apricot-like oval, represent the eyeballs with pitch-black colors.

Carved oval lines that serve as eye sockets.

The small mouth is just carved with an upward arc on both sides, indicating that she is smiling.

- As for why it's "her", Harukawa Shirakawa doesn't know, but her intuition is that if this doll has a gender, it will definitely be female.

At first glance, it's ordinary.

But the longer I look at it, the more weird it becomes.

Such as.....

Those carved eyes are watching you!

Not only that, but in those facial features, there is an indescribable temperament, which makes people feel furious.

Even the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was laughing at the person who looked at her.

Bai Chuanqing would definitely not be scared because of her appearance, he had already looked directly at the strange and chaotic picture countless times more strange and chaotic than her.

At this time, don't talk about facial expressions, even in the heart, it is calm.

He lowered his head earnestly and met those large, strange eyes.

About thirty seconds later.

The curvature of the corners of the wooden doll's mouth disappeared.

The lines carved out of the eye sockets are also shifted to the side by about 1 or 2 degrees.

"It's really an amazing thing....."

Harukawa Shirakawa touched her chin, and her palm covered the doll's head.

I don't know if it's his hallucination, the entire body of the wood carving trembled!

If she could speak, it would have been-

[Don't suffer Lao Tzu! 】

"Don't be so nervous! I'm not going to eat you again. ”

Harukawa said with a smile.

He did have a curious idea about the doll.

When she was in Ayane's room, that cold breath came from her.

It's just that she didn't take the initiative to exude that aura, but .....

It was only after realizing that Harukawa had come into the room and was getting closer to her that she let out this breath.

There is no doubt that this aura is too weak in Shirakawa Haru's opinion.

Don't say it's Hachi.

Even if she lives in Shirakawa Haru's room, she is about to become an otaku - Naoko Akita, a shameful hanging girl, it is estimated that she can easily suppress this breath.

Bai Chuanqing didn't put much effort into it, but at that time, he encountered a different situation.

At that time, Ayane suddenly had a tendency to wake up!

If Harukawa hadn't sneaked into Ayane's room, she would have woken up and would have woken up, no big deal.

But now, he happened to be next to Ayane's bed, and he had just wiped a handful of sweat for Ayane.

How do you look at this scene?

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a plot like "Night Raid", which is often only seen in comics...... It's still the kind with a little color!

Harukawa Shirakawa's intuition told him that if he let Ayane wake up, he was afraid that there would be some kind of "danger"!

Under this instinctive intuition, Shirakawa Haru cast another spell he learned from "Gluttony" -

[Hypnosis! 】

That's the general term for incantations.

When Harukawa learned the name of the spell, his first thought was......

Emmm......

No matter how you hear it, this is not a serious spell!

At first, Shirakawa Harushi only felt that there were too many slots, and he didn't know where to start.

"Hypnosis" generally refers to being prompted to subconsciously do something that happens without the knowledge of others.

It is widely used in some film and television products, comics, and animation, and it is also one of the favorite themes of this kind of thing.

To put it simply, it's ......

Do whatever you want, do whatever you want!

That's why it doesn't sound like a serious mantra.

In fact, it is indeed used in the same way as its name, that is, it can fine-tune the thoughts of others and make them forget something.

From this point of view, it is also possible to develop some not-so-serious usage.

Shirakawa Haru was also really taken aback when she first looked at the spell displayed by "Gluttony".

But immediately, he himself became extremely wary of this spell!

Unlike the previous spell called [Seeking]—the name of the spell was "Gluttony", which was actively told to Harukawa Shirakawa—the effect of [Hypnosis] was too powerful!

And the impact on others is also quite terrible.

Shirakawa Harukawa has never claimed to be a good person, he also has his own selfishness and selfish desires, and the role that [hypnosis] can play in modern society is incomparably terrifying.

Even a simple psychological suggestion can play an extraordinary role in many occasions.

For example, when negotiating and signing contracts in the future, can't you easily achieve your goals with a little hypnosis?

and even in the face of a beautiful woman.....

Oh no, it's not a difficult thing for Shirakawa to do it himself.

In short, there are many, many things like that.

What Shirakawa Harukawa can be sure of is that once he uses this ability frequently and can easily get what he wants, will he become addicted? Can he still control himself and restrain his ambitions?

Harukawa himself didn't know.

It's just that he knows - never overestimate human self-control.

As a desire-driven creature, it is too easy to lose oneself when it is engulfed by desire.

At the end of the day, maybe there will be a hypnotic situation for the whole world, and at that time, will you hypnotize the whole world, or will the whole world hypnotize you?

Therefore, in this case, Shirakawa Harushi would be highly vigilant about this ability from the beginning, and put it on the shelf, and would not use it unless it was necessary.

Only by being afraid can we go further.

That is, there was really no other way just now, so Bai Chuanqing subconsciously used that spell.

Looking back now, he also regretted it a little, and at the same time was even more wary of it.

I made sure of what I was thinking.

It's kind of setting a seal for yourself.

The use of incantations requires the consumption of Shirakawa Haru's "energy" - it is more appropriate to call it that substance for the time being - the tiredness on Shirakawa Haru's face is also because of this.

It didn't take much effort to deal with this wood carving doll, but it cost more to solve the subsequent troubles.

Because the slightly weird wood carved doll didn't seem to have the urge to take the initiative to attack, the temperament on the body did not have the resentment on the resentful spirit, so Bai Chuanqing did not destroy it directly, but brought it back to the room.

I want to do more research.

"Do you have a sense of autonomy?"

Wood carving: "......"

"Can you talk?"

Wood carving: "......"

"Who is your master?"

Wood carving: "......"

Harukawa Shirakawa asked the cylindrical doll.

But I didn't get any reply.

"Oh?"

Bai Chuanqing's tone was flat, and at the same time he loosened the wood carving.

Then place your palms upwards in front of her.

In the palm of his hand, a black mist emerged, and there was a flexible and energetic existence in it, eager to try!

"Kick!"

The body of the wood carving twitched again.

The corners of the mouth that originally looked like mockery, the curvature of the curve, no matter how you look at it, has become a downward curve!

Smiley face doll → crying face doll

Don't come here.jpg

Harukawa Shirakawa smiled kindly.

"Looks sorry, but it's just a little hungry....."

The tremors were even more intense.

The expression on the carving was quite aggrieved and helpless, and it even looked like it was so aggrieved that he was about to cry!

[I really can't speak! 】

What do you want me to answer you? 】

The weird big eyes try to convey that.

It's just that Bai Chuanqing didn't pay attention to it.

"Forget it, it's better to think it's a supper."

Bai Chuanqing stretched out his hand, he didn't really care about the origin of this doll - it was best if he could know, and it was not a big deal if he couldn't.

After all, he's only here to visit Okinawa!

After a few days, I will pat my ass and leave, so there is no need to know so much.

So—

As a late-night snack, it's probably a good choice!

Just as Bai Chuanqing's hand was getting closer and closer to the wood carving, a very faint picture suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Huh?"

The picture is extremely faded, if it weren't for Bai Chuanqing's spiritual sense being extremely sensitive, it is estimated that it would not have been discovered.

Harukawa Shirakawa looked down at the wood carving under his hand.

Those eyes, looking at him pitifully.

Bai Chuanqing thought about it, and finally put down his hand and soothed the tentacles in his palms - [Anlaan, I will definitely invite you to a big meal next time! 】

And in that faint picture, which is almost impossible to see, what is presented is a ......

Temple?

At least the kind of existence that resembles a temple.

The wooden houses are not dilapidated, but they have a sense of age.

And on the floor of the pavilion, one after another, or a whole row of carved wooden dolls, are standing there!

Quiet and silent.

With an eerie smile, he stared ahead.

It seems like.....

I'm looking at Harukawa Shirakawa!
