In the dimly lit bar, there was no image on the TV screen, but only a deep questioning voice: "Dead Handle Mu Yi, did you do the attack on Xiongying's teachers and students?" ”

Death-handled Mu Yi grinned exaggeratedly: "Haha, you said that Xiongying's teachers and students were attacked? Isn't that what we've always wanted to see?! ”

"I'm asking you." The voices on the TV were word-for-word.

So Mu Yi didn't dare to continue to joke: "Don't look at me like this, but I still talk about principles, when have I broken the plan I made?" ”

"I know," the voice on the TV was obviously much gentler, "the injury caused by the severed hand, the follow-up medicine will be delivered to you soon." ”

Immediately, the signal was disconnected, and on the other side of the TV, there was a dark laboratory, and the man in the swivel chair turned around and asked, "Doctor, what do you think about this matter?" ”

The doctor didn't rush to answer, but casually lifted a whole sheet of cloth, revealing a canned goose-yellow liquid underneath: "These are all the concentrated acid we brought ourselves, which was originally planned to be used to attack Xiongying High School, but was preempted by others......"

The man in the swivel chair was in a bad mood: "Their method of attacking Xiongying is exactly the same as our original plan, but the time and place have been changed, but it is not a coincidence at all...... Who can do this? ”

The doctor next to him was half relieved: "Their actions confirmed the failure of the plan in advance, and it also saved us from wasting our efforts." ”

The man stared at the screen: "The point is this feeling that you are bright and I are secret, I can't pretend not to know." ”

……

On Aiying Mountain, in the back hall of Asama Shrine, Aizawa Xiaotai was solemn: "Burst into a hero, you left everyone behind, and you didn't even say hello, so you came here to do these ......?" ”

Facing the head teacher, Banghao's arrogance has been restrained a lot, but he is stubborn: "It's the shrine that shields the sinners first!" ”

"You know, sinners hiding in shrines, and shrines harboring sinners, but there are two very different concepts." Aizawa corrected.

"But ......!"

"Banghao-san!" Aizawa Xiaotai called his name directly, signaling not to say much, and Banghao was full of disbelief, but he still stepped aside.

In the crowd, the gossip of a pair of sisters and brothers is indispensable.

"Sure enough, the wicked have to be ruled by the wicked!"

"Huh? Karen, how do you tell that teacher is a wicked person? Inoue Misaki was puzzled.

"Do you still need to see this? Which good person can cure that explosive man who beats himself? At this time, Karen seemed to be vibrant, and saw that the other party didn't squeak, so he continued: "Hey, Sister Inoue, that person is Brother Nagashima, and the scar on his neck hasn't faded yet......"

Inoue glanced up a few times, and just in time to see the priest move over in person.

First of all, he was polite, and the priest said slowly: "Teacher Aizawa, you can be regarded as coming, if it is a little later, we will kneel down for him collectively......"

Aizawa smiled humbly: "Because of his classmate's injury, he can't help but be anxious, it's because I can't discipline you that I caused you trouble." ”

You come and I push back and forth, the matter can be regarded as a write-off, Aizawa Xiaotai got to the point: "We must find out the prisoners before the festival, otherwise even the tourists will suffer...... Now, we can only wait for the police. ”

"We're busy too, okay?!" At this time, Naomasa Tsukauchi of the police, as well as Ms. Haruno, led a team of police officers into the back hall of the shrine.

The police have always paid attention to efficiency, so after a few simple greetings, the search began.

However, due to the special nature of today, the work is not easy. It is necessary to avoid the crowd of tourists, but also not to let go of any corner, and the difficulty of the search can be imagined.

Fortunately, the shrine is very cooperative, from top to bottom from the inside to the outside, even the corners are let the police look at it.

Time is pressing, and the festival is approaching, so Xiongying teachers and students have also been given permission to jointly assist the police in the search.

After a few tosses, Hinata Nagashima gradually paid attention to a certain detail-

The lively and cheerful, iron-toothed and copper-toothed Ashido Sanna, who is usually lively, seems to have become less talkative since entering the shrine.

Taking advantage of the absence of people, Nagashima took the initiative to step forward and asked, "Sannai-sanai, do you have something on your mind?" ”

"Hmm......" Ashido Sanna held her mouth and hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "Nagashima-san, I'm a little scared of ......"

Nagashima immediately took a step closer and used his height to create a sense of security: "Don't be afraid, everyone is here, what the hell is going on, it's better to hear it." ”

Nagashima's actions made Ashido Sanna relax a little, but her voice was still very low by her: "From the time I entered the shrine to the present, I can always smell that there is a strong sour smell floating in the air. ”

After all, Sannai's personality is related to acid, so it is normal to be more sensitive than ordinary people, and Nagashima asked, "Can you find the source of the smell?" ”

Ashido Sanna shook her head regretfully: "I'm sorry, but the sour smell comes from all directions and interferes with each other, so I can't confirm the source, but I'm sure there should be more than one source."

Nagashima thought for a moment, and then said in a deep voice, "I think if that's all there is, it shouldn't scare you." ”

Faced with doubts, Ashido Sanna fell into a tangle again, and after a few seconds, he decided to tell the whole story: "Although these sour tastes have increased significantly in concentration, the essence has not changed at all...... My sense of smell tells me that the smell is almost exactly the same as the acid in my own body. ”

In this way, everything makes sense, and the smell of one's own personality inexplicably appears in the air, and no one can calm down.

"Just follow me, you'll be fine." Nagashima steady, and the two returned to the team.

Seeing that in the evening, the search work found nothing, and Naomasa Tsukauchi had no choice but to question the clergy: "Is there anything unusual in the recent shrine?" ”

The divine envoy and the shrine maiden both shook their heads one after another, but the priest's eyes flashed: "In order to welcome this Double Ninth Festival, we replaced some of the old facilities and appliances a few days ago...... But come to think of it, it has nothing to do with this incident. ”

"Nope! What exactly has been replaced, take us to inspect it immediately. Tsukauchi commanded.

The group followed the footsteps of the priest and soon walked to a corner of the courtyard, where a brand-new bronze incense burner was placed on the mossy surface.

The priest led the way and said, "I originally planned to move it to the main hall to replace the old incense burner, but recently there has been a surge in passenger flow and incense, so it has never been replaced. ”

When the words stopped, everyone had already arrived in front of the incense burner, and when they looked inside, they couldn't help but be surprised that they collectively lost their voices—

The bronze incense burner is very large, the whole is oblate and spherical, and the inner wall of the incense burner, which should be empty, has long been filled with goose-yellow liquid.

The smell of acid is getting stronger and stronger, and the surface is always windless, sometimes with heavy ripples, sometimes with stagnation bubbles, very much like a viscous glue that is close to boiling, and is about to shape something else.

Ashido Sanna hurriedly took a step back: "Just ...... That's the smell! ”
