There is still a second half of the content on the A4 paper -

[Don't get their flesh on it when killing Aoyagi.] The Aoyagi are afraid of fire, and only by completely burning their remains with fire can a new Aoyagi be prevented from being born out of flesh. ]

"Even the way to deal with it was given, and the person who gave the information really knew everything......

Kamiyagawa withdrew his gaze from the paper.

How can I say it, the person who secretly reported to the countermeasure room is really caring.

It is so intimate that it is hard not to suspect that there is some subtle connection between this person himself and the god of darkness and beauty, and even the worship of ugly times.

The "Aoyagi Murder Case" appeared in the sight of the countermeasure room, and it didn't need to be guided by the two high-level personnel, Kenyu and Kamiyagawa, so it quickly attracted attention.

After all, behind this series of homicides, it is very likely to be related to major events such as "Xiao Binze's former Aoyagi", "The Curse of Visiting Worship When Ugly", and "The Recovery of Pingjiangmen".

And these events are not only known to Kamiyagawa, but also to the countermeasures room that experienced the Heishomon incident.

It's impossible not to pay attention to it.

At the same time, Kamiyagawa, who could not stay out of this series of events, naturally joined the investigation of the "Aoyagi Murder Case".

Two days later, new news came from Nagoya.

In Nagoya, another homicide related to Aoyagi occurred.

It is said to be a homicide, but the current definition of a case is "missing persons".

And there are two missing people, one of whom has the surname "Aoyagi".

After the Nagoya countermeasures office found out about the incident, they quickly followed up with the police investigation and reported the situation to the countermeasures office headquarters in Tokyo.

This is the benefit of official power investigations.

Although due to the frequent incidents of strange talk in recent years, the spirit removal power mobilized in the strategy room has long been overstretched. But when the official organization pays close attention to an incident, the local countermeasures offices and even the local police stations are fully mobilized.

It is far more efficient to obtain intelligence leads than to go it alone.

On the day he got this clue, Kamiyagawa went to Nagoya to learn more about the situation.

……

Nagoya's countermeasures office branch building.

As a high-level member of Kamiyagawa's current countermeasures office, of course he can come and go freely in such a place.

Here, it was only natural that he was received by the staff of the Nagoya Countermeasures Office Branch.

"That's pretty much it, Mr. Kamiya."

"I see." Kamiyagawa nodded.

According to the information provided here, the latest case of the "Aoyagi Murder" is as follows:

The suspect in this case is named Kazuhiko Nagaoka, and the victim is named Junichi Aoyagi.

Both are employees of the same real estate company.

It happened the day after Junichi Aoyagi joined the company.

Kazuhiko Nagaoka was extremely emotional after seeing this "Aoyagi".

According to the testimony of many eyewitnesses who were present at the time, Nagaoka's state at that time can be summed up as "madness and loss of reason without warning."

He screamed in full view of everyone, holding scissors, and threw Aoyagi to the ground, trying to stab the other man in the throat with a hideous face.

At the same time, according to the witnesses of the real estate company, they did not know that Nagaoka and Aoyagi had known each other before, nor did they know what kind of holiday they had, and the incident happened so suddenly that no one reacted.

Then there are the more bizarre developments in this incident.

Did Nagaoka kill Aoyagi?

No one knows for sure.

Witnesses all said that the moment Nagaoka knocked Aoyagi down, they all developed an indescribable confusion.

And according to the confessions of individual witnesses, in the stage of their trance, they seem to see a figure belonging to a young woman who enters the office where everyone is.

And after everyone regained their perception of the surrounding situation, both Nagaoka and Aoyagi disappeared without a trace.

There is no blood left behind.

Therefore, the current characterization of this incident is still "missing", whether it is the perpetrator or the victim, all of them are missing.

After the incident, people from the real estate company quickly called the police.

But since then, the two parties have not been contacted.

"In a blur, I saw the figure of a young woman appear...... Kamiyagawa glanced at this piece of information that only appeared in the oral statements of individual witnesses, "That real estate company, can you take me to the field to see?" ”

"Absolutely."

……

Within the city of Nagoya.

An inconspicuous building has a basement.

In the dim, damp underground space, a man was being tightly tied to a chair.

The man struggled violently, and the chair under him swayed as he squeaked as he moved.

His eyes were red from bloodshot, and he was so mad that he couldn't see a trace of reason. The man's mouth was half-open, and saliva flowed down the corners of his mouth, like a beast:

"Kill! Kill...... Aoyagi, kill! Kill him! ”

In addition to the mad man, there is also a young woman standing in the basement.

The appearance is young and the face is good-looking, Saotome Ai.

"Please be at ease, Mr. Nagaoka."

Kazuhiko Nagaoka was tied here by Saotome Ai.

And for the former's current situation, Saotome seems to have a headache and helplessness.

And as her soothing words fell, invisible ripples with strange power rippled in the basement, and Nagaoka was really quiet.

His pupils faded from a frenzied look, and slowly filled with hollowness.

Immediately afterward, the fragile wooden chair stopped shaking, and Nagaoka, who was restless like a trapped beast, also became as sluggish as a puppet.

This is the ability of Saotome Ai, some spells that are biased towards illusion.

It works very well to influence ordinary people, and it is also effective for some weird stories that are not so strong.

After exerting control on Nagaoka, Saotome sighed.

On her right shoulder, the previous humanoid doll made of dry straw was sitting quietly in a dignified posture.

Hearing the sigh, the doll's mouth sewn open open and a black nail spat out of it, which fell to the ground and shattered.

Saotome glanced at the ground, "You say, if it's too troublesome, why don't you dispose of this man like you did with that Aoyagi?" Taki, although I know you're joking, it's not funny at all. ”

"Don't make fun of me. When I dealt with Aoyagi according to the method you gave, I didn't say it so calmly. ”

Rustle –

Scraps of metal moved against the wet ground, changing the shape of the arrangement.

Ai Saotome: "I know, I know it's not a way to keep him here all the time - uh, are you going to send him to the countermeasures room?" ”

"It's really best for those people to handle it. But if you do that, it's easy to be exposed, right? Use illusions to control strangers, and send the information we collect to the strategy room with a few hands, but you can also hide your whereabouts. But a big living person, especially a living person who goes crazy from time to time...... It's not that easy to operate. There are a lot of people in the strategy room who are better than me. ”

“…… Well, you're right. By the time I went to that club and took both Aoyagi and Nagaoka away, I was already at risk of being exposed. But who knew that Aoyagi would find Nagaoka so soon...... Now that you know the situation, you can't ignore it. ”

"But if there's really no way, expose it. The people in the strategy room weren't completely unreasonable, and I didn't do anything bad. Don't worry, if I accidentally get caught by the strategy room, I won't let them know about your existence. ”

Saotome Ai and the grotesque straw doll communicate smoothly back and forth in a weird way.

It's just as they say.

Saotome went to the real estate company and used her magic to stop Nagaoka from killing Aoyagi in time, and took both of them away.

Among them, Aoyagi has been "processed" by Saotome according to the method given by the straw doll, that is, Takihime.

Nagaoka was trapped in the basement by her.

She had to make sure that Nagaoka was infected by "Aoyagi" and whether there was any possibility of becoming the next "Aoyagi".

Through the inspection of the straw doll, Nagaoka did not have time to kill Aoyagi, so he was not infected.

But now, how to settle Nagaoka, who has not been able to regain his senses, has become a big problem.

Perhaps, it can really be a hundred to dispose of him as well.

Or, before Ai Saotome disguised herself as a psychiatrist, contacted and collected the information provided by Nagaoka with the help of illusions, she shouldn't care about what happened next on the real estate company's side.

A lot of times that's how it is, and while it's very unfair, being a good person is more restrictive than being a bad person.

Here's the problem, Saotome Ai can't be ruthless and be a bad person.

Moreover, when she was going to the real estate company, Takihime didn't mean to stop her.

"Taki, you didn't say that. If Aoyagi is not treated in the right way, it is likely that the person who kills Aoyagi and gets its blood or body fluids will become infected and become the next 'Aoyagi'. There are also the remains of Aoyagi, and if you don't deal with it, there is a possibility that new 'Aoyagi' will grow. How could such a troublesome and terrifying thing be possible to watch them multiply. ”

Judging from the experience of Ai Saotome in disposing of "Junichi Aoyagi".

"Aoyagi" does not have any extraordinary combat ability, and it can even be said that it is no different from ordinary humans in this regard.

But Aoyagi is an extremely strange existence.

The earliest Aoyagi should be the one in Kobinzawa, who successfully performed the ugly worship like Takihime.

After the visit is completed, the original Aoyagi probably cannot be called a "human".

The god Dark Silt Kamei gave him some kind of blessing, some kind of curse.

Today's Aoyagi are the bearers of that curse.

As long as the power of the cursed dragon god remains, and as long as there is still a "green willow" in this world that has not been properly disposed of, they will die again and again, reborn and multiplied with the memories of the past.

Even if there is no extraordinary combat power at this stage, this ability can be called terrifying.

What's more, according to Takihime, the cursed god is secretly sucked into Kami, but she has been looking for a suitable "body" and is ready to break through the shackles and come to the world at any time.

Therefore, the immortal Aoyagi may be the body prepared for him by the god of dark siltation and beauty?

Ai Saotome: "Taki, your investigation over there can confirm that the rebirth and proliferation of the Aoyagi people have intensified and become extremely fast, right?" ”

"Well, could it be that the last time King Heungyo woke up Dark Silt Kami, it caused things to turn out like this...... Speaking of which, is it really possible for that dragon god to recover? If He comes, will you be in trouble? ”

Rustling.

The broken iron filings on the ground changed positions again, and although they were still arranged in a disorderly manner, Saotome could see the message from Takihime.

She could even imagine what kind of joking tone the other party would say if she was face to face with Taki Ji now-

"Of course Kami is going to get me in trouble. After all, I was the first to complete the worship of the ugly time, and I was the first suitable body that the dragon god wanted to descend into. It's just that at that time, I was accidentally stabbed by King Xingshi, and half of the curse power on my body was gone, so I was able to barely get rid of the control of the dragon god. So for the dragon god, I am a traitor who has stolen his power for nothing, and must be liquidated. ”

However, according to the later development of events, King Xingshi wanted to use the power of dark silt and beauty to "resurrect" Pingjiangmen, and turn Pingjiangmen into the ghost emperor of the world.

In a sense, it can be regarded as sacrificing the body of Hei Jiangmen to the dragon god.

I don't know if the dragon god will forgive the king of Xingshi who teased him because of this.

Anyway, Takiyashahime, who is standing on the opposite side of Dark Silt Kami and King Xingshi, will definitely not be forgiven.

"That's ......"

Saotome loves and sighs.

Ever since she learned about the series of long-ago stories behind Takihime, Saotome has been preoccupied.

After all, these things are completely beyond her control.

And now, Saotome has given Aoyagi's information to the countermeasures room, and everything that should be explained has been explained, so it should be taken seriously over there.

Let's hope those people can handle this......

The countermeasures room of the last Heishomon incident was also successfully resolved, so it is not that they have no possibility of dealing with the hidden danger of Aoyagi.

Just as he was thinking this, the iron filings on the ground suddenly stood upright one by one, and shook at a very fast frequency!

This is Takihime giving Saotome a warning.

There are some people who are close to this one-family building!

The one at the head was completely out of touch with the people behind him, and before he knew it, he approached with an incomprehensible speed.

Takihime even first sensed the people who were left behind, and finally sensed the existence of the aura of the leader.

At this time, the man was probably about to break in.

"What do you say, a very scary person came?" Saotome understood, and her heart tightened, but she quickly relaxed a little, "Ah, it's a group of people." ”

Since it was a group of people who were working openly, it must have been someone from the official countermeasures room.

So Saotome stopped caring about Kazuhiko Nagaoka in the basement, ripped the straw doll off her shoulder, and tried to escape from here.
