Chapter 11: The Medium
The town on the outskirts of the White Fox Forest, next to the street near Ge Ye's house.
"Are you sure we're really going to find the mysterious parents?"
Walking on the quiet, deep street, Lina looked around, and suddenly inexplicably gave birth to a chill from her heart.
"We also have to investigate the truth about the 'White Fox Forest', which is the only clue not to enter the forest."
I also felt a slight chill, but Da Gu's courage was obviously much greater than Lina's.
Onoda, who followed him, was not as bold as Daiko, but he didn't show much fear.
"Da Gu is right, there must be something greasy about that couple!"
After saying this categorically, Onoda immediately pointed to a house not far away and said.
"We've arrived, this is Ge Ye's house."
When the three of them rang the doorbell, the husband and wife of the Ge Ye family quickly opened the door.
It's just that when they saw that the person who came was Onoda, the couple was obviously stunned for a moment.
Fortunately, Onoda had made sufficient preparations in advance, and under the pretext that he needed to know more about Kazuha Jiro's situation, he persuaded them to let the three of them enter the house.
Among them, Dagu and Lina, who are wearing uniforms, are also a strong proof.
After all, since the victory team officially came to the forefront, all kinds of information about this organization have long become hot news around the world.
Having the members of the victory team come to investigate Kazuha Jiro in person is indeed quite in line with the rhetoric that Onoda prepared in advance.
If you want to say that the only bad thing is probably the slightly hesitant face of this couple.
They obviously didn't expect that they had already sent Onoda away, and the other party actually came to the door again this time.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………
Shaoqing, the living room of Ge Ye's house.
"I already told you the specific situation last time, and we really don't know more about it."
Looking at Onoda who kept asking questions, her husband said in a sad but helpless tone.
"As for the disappearance of Miss Xue Na and Officer Awano?"
"That's definitely not going to have anything to do with Jiro."
I have to admit that the husband's sudden showdown made several people present stunned.
Even Dagu didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and he saw through at a glance that he and the others were not here for Katsuba Jiro.
"You ......"
He opened his mouth again and again, except for the thick-skinned Onoda , Dagu and Rina both had a feeling of helplessness that had been pierced.
"There's nothing strange about that."
Seeing through the confusion of the three at a glance, the wife, who had been sitting next to her husband, immediately opened her mouth to explain.
"After all, the town is so big, as long as you pay a little attention, it is not difficult to realize the news of Officer Tamno's disappearance."
"Combined with Miss Xuena's inexplicable departure, then the answer is already obvious."
There was no idea of continuing to hide it, and the wife's expression at the moment was obviously much calmer than that of her husband.
"The demons of the White Fox Forest are out of control, and Miss Xue Na and Officer Awano are afraid that something has happened to them."
As soon as these words came out, Lina, who was the first to react, instantly raised her vigilance and stretched out her hand to the Haipa gun on her waist.
"Don't be so nervous, from the moment we met you, we knew that this must be impossible to hide."
Unexpectedly calm, the husband opened his mouth at this time.
"Our Katsuba family is a family of shrines that has been passed down from generation to generation, and we have always been responsible for guarding this mountain forest."
"Because there is a terrible demon hidden in this mountain forest, which was once slain by a powerful samurai......"
"It's a pity that the samurai didn't completely transcend the demon's resentment and flesh, causing it to revive every hundred years."
"Whenever the demons revivenation, our Geye family will select the members with the strongest inspiration to sacrifice and use them to suppress the demons in the mountains and forests."
There was a slight pause in his tone, and the faces of the husband and wife invariably showed sad expressions.
"And this time the selected member is our son."
Ignoring the surprised gazes of the three, the grief-stricken husband continued to explain.
"Jiro showed his amazing talent at a very young age, and he was the first to notice that the demon was coming back to life."
"This is what Miss Xue Na has always wanted to investigate, the truth about the 'Divine Hermit'."
Hearing the sound of the strings and knowing the meaning of elegance, Dagu captured a key point.
"But the demon has still recovered, does this mean that your 'sacrifice' was not successful?"
Nodding to affirm Dagu's speculation, his wife took over the conversation at this time and said.
"To be precise, we underestimated how terrifying that demon was."
"It's far more terrifying than the family records, and even Jiro's will to sacrifice himself to transform into a mountain forest can't completely counterbalance the spread of his power."
"To be able to postpone the catastrophe that happened more than ten years ago to today, Jiro has worked very hard."
Tears slipped down the corners of her eyes, and the calm wife finally showed her side as a mother at this moment.
"Actually, if you come a little later today, our husband and wife are probably on their way to the 'White Fox Forest' by now."
Suppressing the demons of the "Forest of the White Fox" is the mission of the Ge Ye family for several years.
After realizing that Kazuha Jiro was no longer able to suppress the demons, the couple already had the idea of martyrdom.
"What about Cherna? What happened to Xuena? ”
"And Officer Tamno, he just helped me investigate some information, why did he suddenly disappear?"
At this time, Onoda suddenly asked.
Since Kazuha Jiro's "Shinhibi" is the result of the sacrifice of the Kazuha family, why did Xena disappear?
Is it just because she broke into the "White Fox Forest" that she has also become the object of sacrifice?
As for Officer Tamno, not to mention.
He just checked some information for himself, why did he disappear inexplicably?
Something isn't right to think about that?
"Miss Snow......"
After glancing at each other tacitly, the wife and husband spoke almost simultaneously.
"She is a naturally inspired person, and she is the best 'medium' for that demon to possess."
"As for Officer Tamno?"
"If we're not mistaken, he's probably been targeted by the revived demon in the process of investigating Miss Snowna."
It must be admitted that the couple's answers were seamless.
I don't know why, Da Gu always has a subtle sense of disobedience when he looks at this tacit couple.
It's an instinctive instinct, and it's also a warning from the ultra-ancient genes in his body.
The husband and wife of the Ge Ye family did not lie, because there are flaws in lying, and it is easy for people to notice the mistakes and omissions.
But the couple also did not tell the truth, or did not tell the truth completely, they only selectively told certain truths.
