Ramen restaurant, backyard.

"You have such a big appetite?" The man frowned, thinking that Thomas just wanted to make some extra money, but he didn't expect his ambition to be so big.

"Isn't it just 100 souls, you're making too much of a fuss, my good friend."

Thomas smiled and handed him a contract.

"Don't worry, I've brought a helper with me this time."

The man frowned, and instead of taking the contract handed by Tom, he poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of him.

"Now that you have helpers, what are you looking for me?" The man drank a cup of tea and said lightly.

"After all, no one knows the situation inside, I hope you can make a move at a critical moment."

"Of course, even if there are no accidents, thirty percent of the proceeds still belong to you, my good friend." Toms laughed.

"So generous?" The man's eyebrows showed a look of surprise, this is not like the Tom he knew, didn't this guy never go in and out.

"I'm not short of money." The man sighed.

"Oh my God, do you think money alone will move me?"

"Perhaps, you should take another look at this contract, my good friend."

Toms smiled lightly and pushed the contract in front of the man again.

......

Inside the hot spring hotel.

The crowd downstairs drank until more than eleven o'clock in the evening, and when Kiyosuke went downstairs in a yukata, the proprietress was cleaning up the mess on the tabletop, and the owner of the inn seemed to have gone back to rest drunk, and there was no trace of him downstairs.

"Ah, Kiyosuke-kun hasn't rested so late?"

The proprietress who cleaned up the table suddenly saw Kiyosuke at the door and said with a smile.

"I'm having insomnia and I'm going to go to the hot springs to relax." Kiyosuke smiled slightly and explained.

"Although the hot spring at our house is not big, it is very comfortable, and Seisuke-kun will definitely have a good rest after bathing."

The proprietress laughed, her hands didn't stop, still cleaning up the dishes and leftovers on the table.

"I don't seem to see you and Mr. Handa's children, are you going out to work?" Kiyosuke asked casually.

The proprietress was stunned, she didn't expect Seisuke to ask about this, and there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"Naoya disappeared on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival ten years ago." The proprietress looked a little gloomy and looked very sad.

"I'm sorry, I was rude."

Kiyosuke was a little embarrassed, but he didn't expect that the children of Mr. and Mrs. Handa had disappeared, and he seemed to ask questions that shouldn't have been asked.

"It's okay, we're used to it, Kiyosuke-kun doesn't have to blame himself." The proprietress comforted.

Kiyosuke sighed, apologized to the proprietress, and walked alone to the male soup in the backyard.

The men's soup in the B&B is similar to Deng, but the scale is smaller, and it can't accommodate many people at one time, but there are not many travelers in the B&B, but it is enough to use.

The other travelers had already gone back to rest drunk, and there was no one else in the male soup except Kiyosuke.

"Whew~" Kiyosuke sank himself into the pool, only his eyes remained on the surface of the water, which gurgled and bubbled with his breath.

"Mr. Handa's son disappeared during the Mid-Autumn Festival ten years ago, so this is the origin of the talisman at the door."

Kiyosuke's brows are tightly locked, it seems that everything is faintly strung together, more than a hundred years ago, the Great Onmyoji suppressed the great demon of the hundred ghosts who walked at night, so there is the current Toya Lake.

However, for some reason, it seems that the annual Mid-Autumn Festival will lose some effect in the place of suppression, causing ghosts to wreak havoc in Lake Toya, so there is a rule that you are not allowed to enter the lake during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"If Mr. Naoya is also a cultivator, it makes sense, maybe there was some accident during the Mid-Autumn Festival ten years ago, which caused a problem with the barrier of suppression."

"So Mr. Naoya, who is a practitioner, went to help suppress it and disappeared into Lake Toya."

Kiyosuke's eyes narrowed slightly, although this makes sense, but there are still many doubts in it, why such a big thing as a hundred ghosts walking at night is not recorded in the terminal.

Although there were no terminals and squads more than a hundred years ago, after the squads were established, the logistics team still added a lot of information, and the events and legends of hundreds of years ago were recorded, and there was no reason why there was no trace of the Hyakki Night Walk more than a hundred years ago.

"Could it be that there is actually a record, but my authority is not enough?" A thought suddenly flashed through Kiyosuke's heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.

The events that Mr. Handa knew were obviously well-known in Lake Toya at the time, and no matter what you thought about it, as an official team, it should have been known.

So if he can't find out, I'm afraid there is only one reason that can be explained, that is, his authority or level is not enough to know about this incident.

Is Lake Toya so scary?

Kiyosuke was taken aback by his thoughts, if he couldn't know with his authority, it meant that this matter was at least a title-level, or even an event that could only be accessed by non-human level.

"But if that's the case, then why did Thomas come to Lake Toya?"

Kiyosuke frowned, burying his face back under the water, gurgling and blowing bubbles.

If all of his above analysis is correct, then there is a new question, why did Toms, who should have been in London, come to Lake Toya?

This is Japan, and all the strange stories are handled by the team, so there is no reason to ask him to handle it from a London office.

Although Kiyosuke couldn't see his rank, he was sure that Thomas was definitely not inhuman, and there was no inhuman aura in him.

Ever since becoming a 'child of nature', Kiyosuke can vaguely feel the difference between non-humans and ordinary cultivators, as if they are independent of this world and can not follow the rules of this world.

The rules here are not rules in the ordinary sense, but rules in the abstract sense of nature, such as water always flowing low, and clouds must float in the sky.

A non-human can disobey this rule, and in his own realm, he can completely let the water flow high and the clouds fall like stones, provided that the realm is large enough, of course.

"Whew~" Kiyosuke leaned against the stone with a headache and exhaled deeply, things became more and more complicated.

This trip to Lake Toya was supposed to be a relaxing day, but he didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing.

The more he couldn't figure it out, the more Kiyosuke became interested in the Hyakki Night Walk, and if the Hyakki Night Walk was true, wouldn't it mean that there was an entrance to the spirit world here?

Since the last time Gu Yutori took him there, Kiyosuke hadn't been to the spirit world again, and he couldn't open the entrance by himself, and he couldn't do it for the time being if he wanted to, at least B-level to be able to do a short out-of-body experience.
