"This is……"

Everyone was a little confused when they saw the luxuriously decorated modern living room in front of them turned into an old building.

Psychics of their level are neither good nor bad, not as slow as ordinary people, but not as strong as high-level psychics. In online novels, they are the kind of people who can't tell whether there is anything wrong with the opening of the altar, and they just chant mantras and recite scriptures.

"Telepathy?"

"No, it looks like PLK!"

"It's incredible that an illusion of this degree can be displayed!"

A bunch of people were saying all kinds of terms, and I had no idea how to react. But luckily, they were all professionals, and seeing how serious Shizuku and Hinasaki were, they knew that this was something they had done, so they all shut up.

On the contrary, Taniyama Mai, who was standing next to her, was stunned. She was just an ordinary high school student before. Apart from telling ghost stories to her classmates, she had never come into contact with any supernatural events. Although she joined the research institute, in fact, the first supernatural event she experienced was not caused by any ghosts. It was simply because the ground water caused the ground to sink, which caused problems with the building itself.

And this time, she finally witnessed with her own eyes how a real psychic solved the problem.

Although she was under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Hinasaki Shinkuren was not too nervous. She had been practicing her abilities under the guidance of Shizuku, and had a certain understanding and knowledge of the ability of backtracking. Although Hinasaki Shinkuren was not yet a qualified psychic, at least according to the requirements of ordinary psychics, she was already quite good.

Of course, the reason why the retrospection can be manifested externally is because Shizuku’s power is strong enough.

As the saying goes, if you exert enough force, even a brick can fly out of the atmosphere. What’s a small matter?

And in retrospect, everyone also saw what happened throughout.

In fact, the reason for this house can be traced back to a hundred years ago, when a family living here had their eight-year-old child kidnapped by human traffickers and then disappeared. The mother was heartbroken and eventually committed suicide - well, from this point of view, it is actually similar to Munakata Yae.

But what happens next is different.

Unlike the haunted house like Himuro Residence which is usually deserted, this place has been changed hands dozens of times after the woman hanged herself, but the wronged soul of the woman still did not give up and continued to look for her child. Because of this, the woman targeted the children of those who lived here. Her hatred and obsession took away the souls of each child and trapped them by her side.

However, even so, the woman was still not satisfied and continued to look for the trace of her child...

"Okay, we've figured things out."

Shizuku withdrew her hand, and the images around her disappeared instantly, and the room returned to its original appearance. Seeing this scene, everyone was quite surprised and shocked.

"I see, so that's what's going on..."

Hara Masako frowned and muttered to herself, while Taniyama Mai next to her sighed.

"That woman is so pitiful..."

"So Miss, what are you going to do?"

At this moment, the monk was also staring at Shizuku curiously and asked, while Shizuku looked at him and then smiled slightly.

"Now that the facts of the crime are clear and established, the next thing to do is simple."

As she spoke, Shizuku snapped her fingers.

"Come out, Frostmourne!"

Following Shizuku's call, a bone-chilling cold aura quietly emerged, and then a pitch-black sword slowly appeared in front of everyone. Seeing this scene, those half-baked psychics were stunned and speechless.

"Do it."

Shizuku didn't care about the surprised looks around her at all, and just gave a calm order. The next moment, everyone saw several weapons suddenly stretched out from the dark sword and shot forward quickly. With a shrill scream, a transparent female ghost in a kimono was directly tied up by chains and pulled out of the darkness.

"Let me go! Let me go! I want my child!! Child!!!"

The ghost girl held on to the ground tightly, with no intention of letting go. However, Frostmourne would not pay attention to the wailing of a wronged soul. The chain suddenly tightened, directly ripping the ghost girl's lower body off and swallowing it into the sword. The ghost girl's upper body was still holding on to the ground tightly, screaming in pain.

“No…!! Don’t!!!”

"Uh...Miss, what do you mean by this?"

Looking at the wronged soul screaming in pain in front of him, the monk broke out in a cold sweat, while Shizuku shrugged her shoulders.

"It's simple. I want Frostmourne to swallow her. She will live in pain forever. Unless I let her out, she will never see the light of day again... Of course, the premise is that her soul can hold on until the day I want to let her out. Otherwise, her soul will be shattered."

"hiss……"

When they heard Shizuku's answer, everyone gasped, and Mai Taniyama couldn't help but scream out.

"Why do you treat her like this? She's also very pitiful!!"

"She is indeed pitiful, but that is no reason for her to attack innocent children."

As she spoke, Shizuku snapped her fingers, and then two more chains flew over, piercing directly through the ghost girl's shoulders and lifting her up alive.

"Just like criminals, we can't just focus on why they commit crimes, we need to pay more attention to the victims... Miss, you feel pity for her, but aren't those families whose children were taken away because of her obsession also pitiful?"

"this……"

Hearing Shizuku's question, Taniyama Mai was speechless for a moment.

"God will give her a fair ending."

At this time, a young man dressed as a priest next to him finally couldn't help but speak, while Shizuku just glanced at him silently.

"It's God's business to forgive her, but not mine."

As Shizuku spoke, the next moment, the ghost girl could no longer hold on and was directly pulled into Frostmourne. Soon, the cold wind dissipated, and the pitch-black sword that swallowed the ghost girl's soul withdrew its aura and disappeared into the air again.

At the same time, childish laughter as clear as silver bells rang out, and spots of light appeared all around.

"This is……"

“It’s the souls of those kids.”

The monk looked at the spots of light around him with a complicated expression.

"They have escaped from the bondage of the female ghost and regained their freedom."

"That's right."

Shizuku nodded and raised her hand. As she did so, a holy light descended from the sky and shone into the room in front of them. Under the warm glow of the holy light, everyone could clearly see several children standing around them, looking at them with smiles on their faces. Then, the girl in the lead bowed to Shizuku.

"Thank you, big sister."

"You're welcome. It's time for you to go back to your parents."

"Well, bye, big sister!"

The souls of the children waved to Shizuku, then turned around and disappeared into the holy light. Everyone stared at all this in trance until the holy light disappeared again, and then they came back to their senses. At the same time, Shizuku had already packed up everything.

"Well, my work is done here."

Shizuku nodded to the people in front of her and walked out of the room.

"Let's go, Crimson."

"Okay, Sister Shizuku!"

Hinasaki Shinku was stunned for a moment when she heard Shizuku's greeting, and then hurriedly followed Shizuku out of the room. At this time, Hara Masako also seemed to have reacted.

"I'll see you off too."

As she spoke, she hurriedly followed him out.

Only the other psychics were still standing there, with complicated expressions and not saying a word.

"This is the first time I've seen an exorcist exorcise demons. I never expected that the lady had a cute face but was so ruthless when she attacked..."

The monk scratched his head and couldn't help but complain. The expressions of the others were not much better. When they encountered a soul, they usually thought about how to save it and how to fulfill its wishes and let it ascend to heaven. They had never seen someone like Shizuku who came up without saying a word, crushed it, beat it up, and then killed it...

"Anyway, the work is done and the spirits are removed."

Looking at the empty room in front of her, the witch also sighed.

"let's go."

After saying goodbye to Hara Masago, Shizuku and Hinasaki Shinku took a car back to the office. On the way, looking at Shizuku beside her, Hinasaki Shinku hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask.

"Shizuku-sister, why did you do that? You scared everyone."

Hinasaki Shinku is not a fool. She can see that the psychics, including Hara Masago, are quite shocked by Shizuku's ruthless killing method, and even feel a little embarrassed and frightened. Of course, Hinasaki Shinku is also a little surprised.

“This is a matter of principle.”

Shizuku leaned against the car window, watching the scenery flash by outside.

"Look, Crimson, I told you that people in our profession are almost the same as the police. No matter what the criminals have hidden, crimes are crimes, and crimes must be punished. Take that female ghost for example. It is indeed pitiful that her child was abducted, but this is not a reason for her to kill other children at will. If she had not killed those children and bound their souls to herself, then I might have helped her find her children and fulfilled her wish. But unfortunately, she has crossed the line, so...she must be punished."

Having said that, Shizuku looked towards Crimson.

"This is how the world works. You make a choice and you have to bear the consequences. It doesn't matter what the motive is, it doesn't matter what the reason is, it's just like this."

Staring into those crimson eyes, Shizuku whispered.
