Eiji Katayama, thirty-two years old, born in Fukuoka Prefecture, graduated from Minejo University with a major in Onmyojutsu, is the Onmyoji of Onmyo-ryo, serves in the Onmyo-kai, and is a civil servant of Wakoku.

He also communicates with the Weird Research Association on weekdays and undertakes some commissions.

The system of soul exorcists in the country of Japan is quite complicated.

The Yin-Yang Hall is a state institution, and the subordinate Yin-Yang Liao is also state-owned, and the Yin-Yang Liao teachers are basically civil servants.

Most of the temples of Buddhism and Taoism are held by various families, and many of them are descendants of the nobles of the previous generations, which are quite noble.

There are many kinds of shrines, ranging from large shrines such as Ise Jingu, which are close to the imperial family and have been presided over by people related to the imperial family for generations, to independent land snakes such as Kumano Mizan, and various small shrines.

In addition, there are also onmyoji who have broken away from the yin-yang liao, and miscellaneous soul remover masters from the clergy church in the west.

The Weird Research Association is an organization coordinated and unified by all parties, and has a lot of cooperation with relevant departments such as the Yin and Yang Department and the Metropolitan Police Department.

Retired onmyoji like Sakamoto and Ma will also join the Weird Research Association, which can be regarded as a certain level of checks and balances.

Far from it.

Recently, in addition to going to work, Eiji Katayama has been investigating the case of missing persons in Kabukicho.

Since January of this year, the number of disappearances and vicious killings in Kabukicho has skyrocketed, and cases such as Nanami Hayakawa and Riko Ogata are just two of the more prominent cases among hundreds of similar cases.

The missing people include the staff and customers of the Kabukicho store, some of whom have not yet been found, and some of whom have already found their bodies, but the common denominator is that none of them have survived.

Some of them have been found to have been killed by evil spirits, as in the case of Nanami Hayakawa, but even if these are excluded, nearly 80 people have disappeared or died in Kabukicho since January.

The Weird Research Association released an investigation into the incident as early as March, and Eiji Katayama naturally visited it in his spare time.

However, since the evening before yesterday, Eiji Katayama has lost contact with his colleagues and family.

Until last night, when a mob who patronized a custom shop passed through a remote alley, he found the dead Eiji Katayama.

"This is a picture of his body, I think it's better not to look at Evegenline-chan."

Sakamoto and Ma don't know where to find a document.

"As the Dark Star of the Contract and the inheritor of the Shadow of the Moon, Miss Ben will not be afraid of this level of bloody scenes."

Suzuya shallots puffed up her chest.

An Ran looked at the photographs of the body taken at various angles on the paper.

Eiji Katayama fell to the ground in his regular clothes, his fatal wound was located in the abdominal cavity, where there was a huge wound, and the organs including [beep-] and [beep-] were pulled out, forming an extremely bloody picture.

According to the results of the forensic autopsy, Eiji Katayama's kidneys, stomach, liver and other internal organs have disappeared.

As for his contract weirdness, the weasel has also died, according to the spiritual quality test of the Yin Yang Liao.

What's more, Eiji Katayama's death is very similar to the way some of the people who died in the Kabukicho incident that were discovered earlier, and these dead people died of massive hemorrhage caused by the removal of different organs.

The Weird Research Association and Onmyo-ryo have reason to believe that Eiji Katayama died at the hands of this weird man who had been entrenched in Kabukicho all along.

As a result, the Society issued an urgent investigation order, summoning the soul exorcists who had time to search.

That's why Suzuya came back from Hawaii in a hurry.

Of course, she did it voluntarily.

“...... So, Xu Sang, I mean, you take a good look at the children, it's almost the same as walking around the neighborhood, and the core investigation will be handed over to Yin Yang Liao. ”

In the large conference room on the second floor of the Shinjuku branch of the Weird Research Association, Kazuma Sakamoto, who was sitting in the back row, whispered to An Ran.

Suzuya Asashi on the side looked very seriously at the onmyoji who was explaining the case on the stage, and from time to time he lowered his head and took notes, quite focused.

Inside the hall, there were a large number of soul slayers.

Even Enron could see that the soul slayer present was clearly distinguished.

The onmyoji wearing blue and white hunting clothes sat in front of the left, the largest number, after all, they were civil servants, and they were basically on duty, and as for those on vacation, according to the consistent attitude of the people, they generally would not come.

In the front right, there are several shrine personnel dressed in hunting clothes and shrine maiden costumes, and there are people present at major shrines such as Meiji Jingu, Ueno Toshogu Shrine, Kanda Myojin, Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine, and Yushima Tenmangu Shrine.

In the back right are monks from temples such as Sensoji Temple, Zojoji Temple, Kaneiji Temple, and Honganji Temple, and most of the temples in Wakuni are family businesses, and there is no need to shave their heads, and these monks look tall and handsome, and it is no wonder that they can rank among the top occupations that women in their thirties most want to marry.

The rest, sitting with An Ran and the others, are scattered and miscellaneous soul slayers.

You can see a tall, blonde nun carrying a huge black suitcase by her side, a man dressed like a western cowboy, a young man dressed as a monk with shaved hair and a khaki backpack, a man with his face hidden in his hood, and a young man who looks a little rustic and curious.

Of course, there are also people like Enron who wear black robes and dress like priests.

After getting in touch, they gathered at the Shinjuku branch just in time for the investigation meeting.

“...... Due to the fact that the soul exorcist has been killed, the Association recommends that everyone act in groups, at least in groups of two, and contact the headquarters in a timely manner while conducting the search......"

The person in charge on the stage is Kotokui Masato of Onmyo-liao, who is Chinese New Year's Eve five years old today, and is the on-yomji power suke of Onmyo-liao and the head of the Shinjuku branch of the Onmyo-liao Resident Association.

The chief of the Yin-Yang Liao is Koichi Tuyumen.,Further down is the Yin-Yang Help.,The Yin-Yang Power Aid belongs to the deputy position of the Yin-Yang Assistant.,Most of them are dispatched to various weird research associations.,In the event of an emergency.,Have a certain authority.。

As for the tangled relationship between the Tuyumen and the Kotokui family, the He Mao family, Enron did not pay attention to it.

In the middle of Kotokui Masato's words, a mobile phone rang in the hall.

It was a very ordinary default mobile phone ringtone, which directly interrupted Kotokui Masato for a while.

Who?

Everyone was so confused, and when they were looking for the unlucky guy who hadn't turned off the phone before the meeting, they saw Masato Kotokui take out his mobile phone.

He looked at the caller ID, but instead of choosing to hang up the phone directly, he was silent for a moment and picked it up.

“...... Hey, yes, yes, I'm explaining the situation...... But, wait...... Okay, I see. ”

Saying some confusing words, Masato Kotokui hung up the phone.

“...... The next explanation will be handed over to the ...... of Yinyang Liao"

Before he could finish his sentence, the door to the hall was gently pushed open.

A handsome young man dressed in a classical blue and white hunting suit strode in.

Seeing this young man, Masato Kotokui lowered his head and obediently gave up the position of host.

The young man stood in front of the microphone, looked around, and only stayed in the left and back of the stage for a moment before speaking.

"Guys, I have reason to believe that what we encountered this time is the fourth type of weirdness."

"It's called, anomalous."
