Xia Jing was interested, and he also straightened his sitting posture.

Because he could hear that the words were not only aimed at Ye Ya and the others.

The object also includes itself.

In other words, Sand didn't treat Xia Jing as an outsider.

"As it stands, you have succumbed to a passive situation where you can only wait for the other side to attack. can only be so passive, maybe it is also forced to be helpless. However, being able to poach Lanyang can also be regarded as a great achievement. ”

Xia Jing secretly glanced at Lan Yang beside him.

Even though he has become the main topic of the conversation, he is still indifferent, and he still looks elusive about his thoughts.

"Blue Sun. I'm not going to force you to forget about it...... No, the scars left by the elders. But you're here of your own volition, aren't you? ”

"Hmm."

Lan Yang showed a shallow smile that was not obvious, answering Shazi's question.

"I want to protect Xia Jing. I will also assist Ya and them. ”

"Mrs. Sand, if you can...... I hope that we can go on the offensive. It is not a way to continue to sit in the city like this, and one day it will run out of food. ”

"I think so too. Compared with waiting for the rabbit, it is the nature of the deer clan to take the initiative. ”

Shazi got up and responded to Yaya's proposal.

She walked in the direction of the data cabinet, unlocked it, and retrieved a document from it.

"Treating the daughters of the deer clan equally, is the duty that the saint should observe. We don't ask what we say or what we do. Therefore...... I'm breaking the rules, and it's not an honorable act. However, since Le has been expelled from the clan, her children are no longer treated as compatriots. ”

Sand sneered and put the information on the table.

「…… Is that?"

Xia Jing couldn't help but lean forward.

Posted in the upper right corner of the information is a photo of the broom star that he can't forget.

"Autumn Murmur."

Ye Ya muttered.

"That's right. It's the girl who suddenly came out halfway and called herself a clan...... However, this means that she did not come to this school as a member of the family."

- I see.

Xia Jing understood what the sand wanted to express.

Many of the deer clans who did not attend elementary school or junior high school, if they want to become students in this school, they must rely on the Sheng's Guan Theory. On the other hand, this also means that Qiu Yin, who entered the school without the help of the power of the saint, is no different from ordinary students - Xia Jing and others in terms of materials. Therefore, in order to enroll, of course, she had to openly put her experience and residence on the table.

In Qiu Yin's profile, her address is written in detail.

However, there are still suspicious points.

Xia Jing picked up the paper and said while studying it carefully, "Is it possible that this information is fake? It's like saying that when I was preparing for a long time, I prepared a fake household registration and address in order to allow Qiu Yin to enter school."

"Of course it's possible."

Sand replied in a determined tone.

"But it's not very likely. It is hard to imagine that they could have the means to interfere so seriously with human society without relying on the power of the Holy Saint. So I think there's value in going to the address on the document."

「…… What if it's a trap?"

"Xia Jing, I'll give you a lesson."

Shazi showed a murderous smile and looked at Xia Jing, who made a rebuttal.

"As long as you find any clues, even if you step on the iron shoes, you have to check it out. Even if you encounter a trap, you just need to find a way to break through and look for the next clue. After ravaging all the possibilities, all that remains is ashes...... That's the struggle that generations of our Suzuka ancestors have experienced.

In the past, in this way, the Piece of Armor annihilated all the aliens. I don't ask you to be like us, but you have to get used to it—if you still think you're Yaya's husband."

Alien - To put it bluntly, it refers to the monsters that have lived in various parts of Japan since ancient times.

There are demon foxes, big spiders, and even vampires. When he first heard about it, Xia Jing only thought it was the whimsical dream of the Deer Clan, and Xia Jing thought that they probably regarded the wild history in the streets and alleys as historical facts and believed it to be true. However, now after listening to Shazi's categorical conclusion, Xia Jing couldn't help but suspect that maybe there really was such a monster in ancient times.

Or is it - other demons of a different race than the deer race, but also have the appearance of a human?

If the Deer Clan really had a history of destroying all those monsters, then they were deservedly described as demons who were the embodiment of struggle and killing.

- So, what should we call the humans who defeated those demons?

The instinctive fear that he felt from the smile of the sand, and then the thoughts that popped into his mind - Xia Jing forced himself to banish them from his mind and took a deep breath.

Now is not the time to bother with such age-old questions.

A clue to quelling the turmoil has emerged.

If you want to worry, you should first worry about this matter.

Autumn groaning. Former classmates, and cousins of the Deer Clan and Ye Ya.

killed the student who bullied Fang Yuan, and also used "this is all for you" as an excuse. She's a terrible woman—

Although I don't want to meet her again, I have a sense of responsibility that I must try to stop her.

"When will it take to make the trip?"

Xia Jing asked about the sand that had been standing since he got the information. At the moment, I can't wait to leave immediately.

I don't know if I noticed Xia Jing's mood.

Instead of sitting back on the couch again, Sandzi looked at the door and said, "Of course, I'm going to leave immediately."

Later, the group did not go back to class.

Although Xia Jing was also very confused about whether it was appropriate to leave early, even if he returned to the classroom, he would only be entangled by everyone's question of catching Ye Ya. If we can take the opportunity to cool down everyone's excited heads, maybe it can kill two birds with one stone.

So, Xia Jing and the others got on the bus and went to Qiu Yin's residence recorded in the information.

There are three members in total. Natsu Jing, Ye Ya, and Anno.

The sand didn't go along.

She only said that she had something else to confirm, and took Lan Yang, Lin Yu, Anai and Xia Jing and others to act separately.

The purpose of their group is Yunshan.

Xia Jing originally thought that Shazi would take the lead in leading the group.

Therefore, it was somewhat surprising to see such a result.

Isn't she the one who said she was going to investigate?

Xia Jing tried to ask An Ye about this question on the bus, but she only replied with a smile: "That's because Miss Shazi treats us as adults." ”

…… As a human being, there is still a cultural gap between Xia Jing and the deer tribe.

It's just that even if it's Xia Jing, if you are asked if you want to be seen as a child, you will also shake your head in denial.

When you get off at the bus stop closest to your destination, you will see an idyllic area away from residential areas and shopping streets.

It was about 40 minutes to take the bus all the way, and the place I arrived at was almost a suburb. Even Xia Jing, a local, is not very familiar with this area.

Houses are scattered, and there is not half a passer-by on the road. The group used the GPS system of their mobile phones to go to Akiyin's residence. Soon, I finally saw a bungalow.

The bungalow looks very old, and it doesn't look like someone living in it. If it weren't for the fact that the courtyard was paved with cement on all sides, it would not be strange that the ground would be overgrown with weeds.

Frankly speaking, this house is far from the image of Qiu Yin. At least when she was in school, she exuded an urban temperament that grew up in a high-end residential street.

「…… Is this really the case?"

Xia Jing said half-to himself.

Ye Ya pointed to the wooden door sign posted in front of the entrance and said, "Autumn is written on it."

In that case, is this the right thing - this thought flashed, and Xia Jing suddenly felt that something was wrong.

「…… It's weird."

Anno said something unusual for Natsujing.

"Why are the house numbers so old?"

Yes, that's weird.

"Doesn't that feel like ...... Has this family surnamed Qiu been the same for generations?"

"I see what you mean."

Ye Ya nodded in realization. Since she was unfamiliar with the structure of human society, she didn't notice it at first.

"Could it be deliberately old?"

"If it's deliberately old, it's too careful, and this strategy has reached the point of ingenuity."

Qiu Yin's relatives are only Qiu Le's mother, and it stands to reason that she should not have the origin of human society. In the eyes of Xia Jing and others, she should just casually take the surname Qiu Yin and live in the apartment. However, what is now in front of Xia Jing and others is a private house that is suspected to be owned by a family with the surname Qiu and is at least forty years old-

"What now?"

The house's dilapidated exterior adds to the creepy feel.

"I had a bad feeling from the moment I got off the bus...... Why don't you go back?"

Yasuno seemed to feel the same way, and sighed as if melancholy.

"If we don't move forward, how can we break through the status quo!"

Ye Ya was eager to charge into battle immediately.

"I'm on both sides. Seriously, I would love to go home, but the situation doesn't allow me to leave."

"Well, that's right. Seriously, if I had turned back at the door today, I would have felt like I couldn't let go."

Yasuno simply seconded.

"Well, it's unanimous."

Xia Jing took a step towards the entrance. The main door is a sliding door with matte glass on a wooden frame. Not to mention the anti-theft device, even whether it is locked or not is suspicious.

"Is anyone there, please?"

Xia Jing lowered his voice slightly, but no one answered.

"Is anyone home——!

Xia Jing shouted again, this time raising his voice. But there was still no response.

He put his hand directly on the sliding door. As expected, the door was opened without much effort.

Xia Jing and the others stepped into the house.

「…… We're kind of trespassing."

"Probably."

"You two be careful."

Yaya reminded Natsuei and Anno, who were trying to relax with their mouths.

"There may be a trap."

"Ah—that's right. It's really not time to escape from reality."

The trio opened what appeared to be a lattice door to the living room from the damp room. Immediately I smelled a pungent musty smell. Scratch your finger across the wall and feel a thick layer of dust...... It really doesn't look like someone living here.

"Excuse me."

Xia Jing made up his mind and stepped on his shoes into the living room.

"Can you put your shoes on, Natsujing?"

"What else can I do? Don't run into a barefoot battle with the enemy."

Ye Ya, who answered on his behalf, also stepped on the floor with his shoes on. Xia Jing looked at Ye Ya's feet, thinking about how she got her laceless leather shoes. Or was it Fang Yuan's shoes that were originally the same?

Yasuno hesitated for a moment, but finally decided not to take off his flats.

Look around the house. No matter how you look at it, it's just an ordinary house.

Not only is the structure really old, but cobwebs are everywhere. The room seemed to have not been ventilated for a long time, and every breath was mixed with filthy ingredients.

However, after deducting these parts, I don't see anything unusual.

There are traces of life in the living room – cushions stacked in the corners, wooden dining tables, antique TVs on top shelves, and so on.

"It looks like there's no power here."

Yasuno said as he pulled the string of the fluorescent lamp a few times.

"Is this a cooking place?"

Ye Ya peered through the crack in the open paper door to see a kitchen with a wooden floor. I'm afraid it was added later—the structure is a little more novel.

There were tea bowls and cups in the sideboard, but Xia Jing had no intention of opening them to confirm them one by one.

"Over there?"

Xia Jing asked Anno, who had opened another paper door.

"There is a Buddha Hall. But I don't really want to see it......

Of course, I feel the same way, but I can't help but look at it.

But Anno had a melancholy expression on his face.

"I'm sorry, I still don't dare. Can I leave it to you?"

"I mean, aliens are not the same thing as ghosts, okay?"

"What, is that so?"

As far as Xia Jing is concerned, it is half a catty and eight taels at all.

"It's okay. I'll leave it to me and Xia Jing to investigate, and you can go to the other rooms to make rounds."

Anno apologized and turned around and left.

After seeing her back leave, Xia Jing entered the Buddhist hall with Ye Ya.

"So, do the deer have faith?"

"No, there is no one, at most it is to sacrifice to the ancestors...... What about you?"

"I'm not religious."

「…… Wait a minute, that's ......."

When I looked up, I saw several black-and-white photographs hanging on the crossbar above the paper door. Each one is a picture of an old man.

Such black-and-white photos are not something incredible in themselves. Xia Jing's grandparents' house also has it.

"What are those pictures?"

It's full of photos of my grandfather's parents, sisters, cousins, etc., in other words—

"It's a posthumous photo...... In this case, the person above should be a relative of this family."

The problem is that it is very strange that this family will have a photo of a blood relative.

No—don't you say......

"This is actually Akiyin's father's home...... Is it?"

Hearing Xia Jing's inference, Ye Ya cried out "ah".

If you think about it, this is the most natural and probable conclusion.

Qiu Yin's mother, Qiu Le, is a cold-blooded character who treats human life like an ant - influenced by this preconceived idea, Xia Jing has only now discovered a blind spot. Even Qiu Le, a man without a human cannot have children. Moreover, becoming someone's wife can integrate into human society more easily and quickly.

"Does this mean that Qiu Le swallowed up her husband's house?"

Ye Ya said with a bitter face:

"That's what happened, and it's really very prosperous. Despicable to be unreserved."

"But if the assumption is correct......

"Ahh I'm afraid all the people in this family have been killed."

「…… Tsk."

Xia Jing smacked his lips indignantly.

Obviously, the purpose of this trip is to find Qiu Yin and further find clues to the prosperity faction, however, he accidentally found that a family may be exterminated by Qiu Yin.

Xia Jing just wanted to leave this ghost place immediately.
