After temporarily changing into a shrine maiden costume, Takayama took the paper knife handed to her by Senya, and walked into the apartment building with Nanase Nishino, Nanami Hashimoto and Mai Shiraishi under the guidance of the building administrator.

The apartment building is a few years old, and the lighting in the hallway is a little dim, and the walls are a little old and mottled. Although the cleaning is fairly clean, the dirt can still be seen in the cracks on the wall.

Nana Hashimoto and the other four carefully followed the caretaker and took the elevator to the next floor of the haunted apartment.

"I'm sorry, but it's safer to take the stairs from the lower level as the haunted apartment is facing the elevator, so it's safer." The administrator on the side said apologetically to the four of them.

Nanami Hashimoto and the others looked at the administrator with a frightened expression, nodded in understanding, and followed the administrator towards the stairwell.

Takayama Ichimi was guarding in front of Nishino Nanase, carefully holding the paper knife in his hand, his whole body and mind were tensed, and his face was also serious and serious, as if he was in a kendo battle. Nishino Nanase, who was protected by Takayama Ichimi, was holding three freshly picked leaves in her hands, ready to summon Shikigami at any time, while the paper figures that Senya had given them were held in her arms, intending to take them out when necessary.

Nana Hashimoto did not walk next to Nanase Nishino, and also held a paper knife in his hand, but he did not hold it like Takayama Kazumi, but just held it in his hand. Nana Hashimoto didn't know that she hadn't learned kendo, and holding the paper knife was just a comfort, and it was the paper man in his arms that really worked. However, after Nana Hashimoto reached out and touched the talisman in his arms, a trace of apprehension in his heart was put down. Thinking of having the Thousand Nights' talisman on her body, Nana Hashimoto didn't believe that even if something really happened, there would be no danger.

Mai Shiraishi followed closely behind Nanami Hashimoto, with a look of fear on her face. Among the four, in fact, the strongest is Mai Shiraishi, who has been demonized into a nine-tailed demon fox, but Mai Shiraishi can't play any role because she is afraid, so she can only follow behind Nanami Hashimoto and look at Nanami Hashimoto who is protecting her, which makes Mai Shiraishi blame herself in the bottom of her heart.

The four of them followed the caretaker to the stairwell, but the moment the caretaker opened the door of the stairwell, Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino both shouted loudly, "Wait a minute! ”

The administrator stopped there and looked at the two of them with some puzzlement, and Takayama Kazumi also turned his head to look at Nanase Nishino, and asked curiously, "Nanasai, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”

Nanase Nishino glanced at Nanami Hashimoto and saw her nodding, so he said, "Kazmi, you step back first." Mr. Administrator, please hold the door and don't let it close. The administrator saw that Nishino Nanase said seriously, and the face of Nanami Hashimoto on the side was also grim, although he was afraid, he still held the door of the stairwell and did not let it close, while Takayama Ichimi on the side transformed the paper knife into a katana, and held the sword in both hands to pose a sword style, protecting the three of Nishino Nanase and waiting for him.

Nishino Nanase did not delay, and instantly threw out the three leaves in his hand, chanting a mantra in his mouth: "Wakaba summons!" Haste as a law! With Nishino Nanase's spell, the three thrown leaves glowed green, turned into three clusters of light, crossed an arc, and flew up and surrounded Nishino Nanase.

Nanase Nishino pointed forward, and three clusters of light flew into the stairwell. Outside the apartment, the "Banana Man" and the other members of the team who saw the scene through a camera mounted on the four people couldn't help but marvel.

"Chiba-san, what is this? Is it also Shikigami? Shiraku asked with a single face in amazement.

Qianye showed a look of relief on his face, and explained, "This is a Wakaba-style god, which can be regarded as a relatively low-level god. Unlike the ordinary Shikigami summoned with leaves, there is no sanity, and the Wakaba-style god must be summoned with fresh leaves, because it is a fresh leaf, so there is still a trace of the spirituality of plants and trees, so the summoned Wakaba-style god also has a certain sanity, which can be said to be a very practical Shikigami. Miss Nishino was able to do this, which shows that she usually worked hard. ”

Hearing Chiya's praise, the members all looked at the screen on the monitor with an admiring expression, and couldn't help but envy Nanase Nishino for learning such a skill.

In the monitor, Nanase Nishino released the three Wakaba-style gods, and instead of moving forward, he waited at the door of the stairwell. The administrator on the side asked a little puzzled, "This young lady, what are you waiting for?" Although the three green light clusters that flew out just now startled the administrator, since he had even seen ghosts, and there were some other strange things, that is, they were just a strange sight, and this administrator was quite concerned and didn't pay attention to it. But opening the door and not entering it like this made the administrator a little puzzled, after all, it was only afternoon, and it was not dark.

"Mr. Administrator, I'm looking into the equation god to find out the situation. Because when you opened the door to the stairwell just now, you had a lot of resentment. Nanase Nishino explained to the administrator with a serious face.

The administrator heard Nanase Nishino say this, although he thought they were making a little fuss, but considering that they were just a group of young girls, he should be careful.

After a Wakaba-style god flew back, Nanase Nishino nodded at Nanami Hashimoto, indicating that there was no problem.

"Since there is no problem, let's go inside. Kazmi, you're out of the way! Nanami Hashimoto said to Takayama Ichimi.

"Leave it to me, Na-chan!" Takayama nodded, holding the katana transformed from the paper knife in his hand, and walked in first, while the caretaker followed behind her, and Nanase Nishino and Nana Hashimoto followed after not glancing at each other.

After passing through the stairwell unharmed, the group finally arrived at the door of the haunted apartment under the guidance of the caretaker.

The administrator looked at the door of the apartment with a seal still on the door in front of him, and introduced to the four of them who were not on the side, "This is the haunted apartment, and it has been haunted since the death of the old woman who used to live here." First of all, the people from the housekeeping company who came here to clean up the old woman's relics inexplicably appeared in the garbage bin at the back of the building and asked them what was going on. Later, the residents of each floor always heard an old woman's voice wandering in the corridor at night, as if to say, 'Did you see my maworn?' ’。 The residents in the back were so disturbed that they moved everything they could. We also asked people to come and see it, but there was nothing good to do, and the rituals were done, but there were only fewer haunted floors, but the voice of the old woman could still be heard at night on this floor and upstairs and downstairs, and there were people in the stairwell who saw the shadow of the old woman. ”

After listening to the administrator's introduction, Nana Hashimoto asked with some doubts: "What is the 'Mao Suke' mentioned by the old woman?" ”

"Oh, Mao Zhu is a black cat raised by the old woman, and I have been following the old woman for more than ten years, but I got lost some time ago, and I helped find it, but I didn't find it in the end." The administrator explained.

"Black cat?" Hearing that the administrator said that Mao Suke was an old black cat, the faces of Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino were difficult to look at, and Nanase Nishino even took out a paper figure made by Chiya in his arms and pinched it in his hand, as if he was ready to use it at any time.

Mai Shiraishi seemed to become even more frightened, and couldn't help but grab Nanami Hashimoto's shoulder. And Takayama asked puzzledly, "Na-chan, is there anything wrong with the black cat?" ”

Takayama Ichimi's question is also what the "banana man" and the members in front of the monitor want to ask.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Qianye explained: "Cats are creatures with special spirituality, and they usually have all kinds of incredible spirituality. When an old cat lives for 9 years, it will grow a tail, every 9 years to grow one, will always grow 9, when there are 9 cats will turn into human form after 9 years, then the cat is really 9 lives, nine lives cat demon is very difficult to deal with. Speaking of this, Qianye paused, looked up at the apartment building from where everyone was, and said in a somewhat solemn tone: "And the black cat is more dangerous, the black cat over ten years old is very likely to become a cat again, the most obvious feature is that the tail is bifurcated into two strands, the greater the demonic power, the more obvious the bifurcation." It's not a good thing to meet a cat, which is not only ferocious, but also has sharp claws, can easily bite beasts and livestock to death, not to mention, and can manipulate corpses with demonic power like a juggling puppet show. Moreover, cats can disguise themselves as girls or old women to deceive passers-by...... The premise is that it eats the person it wants to become, and the reason why it wants to eat people is actually to maintain its own life, since it has a certain spiritual power, or perceives the inner thoughts of human beings, then it needs something to maintain this unique ability that it has, that is, cannibalism. ”

Chiya's words sent chills down the spine of the two members of the "Banana Man", and Yuki Himura asked with some surprise, "Chiba-san, do you mean that the old woman was actually eaten by a cat?" But in that case, how can you explain the corpse? Did the caretaker of the apartment tell us that a funeral company did come to collect the body? ”

A hint of worry appeared on Qianye's face, but she still explained, "Cats eat people again, and what they eat is not the body, but the soul. It is likely that the old woman died after her soul was devoured by the black cat she raised. As for the old woman seen by the residents and the voices they heard, nine times out of ten it was the cat playing tricks again. But these are all my speculations, and I can't do it for sure, and I have to let Miss Hashimoto and them go in to see the specifics. ”

At the same time as Qianye said this, the caretaker had already opened the door of the haunted apartment, there was no light in the apartment, and the curtains inside were also drawn, and it looked pitch black, like a big open mouth, wanting to devour everything.
