No one knows about the death of Sanshin Reiko.
In fact, in just one day, the students in Class 3, Grade 3 had completely forgotten the existence of this person.
This is also the common point of all the dead. When they were still in Class 3, Grade 3, no one could find any flaws. It is even possible that they were your friends, your lovers, or your opponents. But no matter what kind of relationship the dead had with others, the moment he really died, he no longer existed, not only himself, but also the traces of his existence.
In a way, this is a bit like the torch in Shana's world whose power of existence was devoured. When the torch goes out, all traces of him in the world will be erased.
The same is true for Reiko Mikami.
As of now, Akasawa Izumi and the others have completely forgotten that there was such a teacher in Class 3. Not only them, but also the memories of the principal and others have been modified. It becomes that at the beginning there was only Mr. Kubodera in Class 3, and these two days, it is in charge of Chie Tatsuji from the library.
But they didn't forget other things.
"I never thought that you were the demon exorcist hired by the principal... Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Standing in front of Shizuku, Akasawa Izumi glared at her menacingly, while Shizuku smiled slightly.
"It's more convenient this way. Besides, even if I told you, I don't think you would believe it."
“That’s what I said… but… uh…”
After hearing Shizuku's answer, Akasawa Izumi was speechless.
"Kasugano-san, are you leaving now?"
Compared to Akasawa Izumi, Sakuragi Yukari beside her seemed a little uneasy. She stared at Shizuku pitifully like a puppy abandoned by its owner, and the latter seemed a little speechless.
"As I said, I just came to do my job. Now that the work is over, I naturally have to go back."
As she spoke, Shizuku took out a few business cards from her pocket and handed them over.
"But if you come to Tokyo, you can call me and I will treat you well."
Akasawa Izumi took the business card, was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke.
"I want to apply to a high school in Tokyo."
"OK."
Hearing what Akasawa Izumi said, Shizuku smiled slightly.
"If you can get into Tokyo, you can live in my office. My house is quite big, you're welcome to come and play. You can go to sleep directly when you're tired, no problem."
"That's what you said!"
Hearing this, Akasawa Izumi immediately perked up.
"I'll come find you then, you can't go back on your word!"
"certainly."
In response to Akasawa Izumi's words, Shizuku looked at her with smiling eyes, like Grandma Wolf looking at Little Red Riding Hood.
"It's a deal."
At this moment, the train slowly pulled into the station, and Shizuku waved to the girls, then turned around and got on the train and left. Soon, the train sped forward, and the girls looked away only when the train had disappeared.
"I will definitely get into high school in Tokyo!"
Clenching her fists, Izumi Akasawa whispered to herself. Her family was not a particularly wealthy one, so if she wanted to go to Tokyo, she had to take the public school entrance exam. Izumi Akasawa's grades were pretty good. She didn't care about these things before, but now, she has decided on her goal.
In contrast, Sakuragi Yukali next to her seemed a little lost. Her mother and aunt did not survive in the end and passed away after staying in the ICU for a week. Now Sakuragi Yukali is alone. She didn't know where to go, but she made up her mind to go to Tokyo... At least she would never come back to Yamiyama.
On the side, Mizaki Ming looked at the business card in her hand silently without saying a word. Then she turned around and left the station.
Sitting on the train, Shizuku looked at the scenery passing by outside the window and yawned. This commission was the most difficult problem she had experienced since she came to this world. What was more troublesome was that Shizuku was not sure whether her method was really successful. She had to wait until next year's Grade 3 Class 3 to see the situation... However, based on Shizuku's experience, the mysterious curse incident of Yamiyama should be completely over.
But then again... I wonder how Crimson is doing now?
At the same time, Hinasaki Shinku had already followed the mountain road and arrived in front of a torii gate.
"This is……"
Looking at the old and dilapidated torii in front of her, Hinasaki Shinku seemed a little nervous. However, at this moment, the scene in front of her suddenly changed, and the next moment, the world in front of Hinasaki Shinku immediately turned black and white, and then she clearly saw that in front of the torii, a short-haired girl in a white kimono was covering her face and crying sadly.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry… I’m sorry…”
"Great-grandmother?"
Looking at the kimono, Hinasaki Shinku also hurried over and called out in a low voice. Although she had never seen this girl before, the white kimono she was wearing was not unfamiliar to Hinasaki Shinku. It was exactly the clothes she found in her great-grandmother's room in Himuro's residence... So, does that mean that this is the memory of her great-grandmother when she was young?
“Swish!!”
Just when Hinasaki Shinku came to the side of the kimono girl, the scene in front of her changed again, everything returned to its original state, and the kimono girl who had been standing here disappeared.
“…”
Hinasaki Shinku took a deep breath, clenched the phone in her hand, and then walked into the torii.
Walking into the torii gate, the first thing Hinasaki Shenhong saw was a strange altar. In the middle of it was a square stone slab, surrounded by five stone pillars. Ropes were wrapped around the five stone pillars, blocking the entire altar.
“Ooooo…!”
Seeing this altar, Hinasaki's face suddenly turned red, which reminded her of the ceremony of creating the Rope Maiden that she saw in the Himuro residence. It was the same at that time...
Thinking of this, Hinasaki Shinku shook her head, forcing herself to put that unpleasant memory behind her. Then she walked forward, and then a village appeared in front of Hinasaki Shinku.
"The disappeared village..."
Looking at the scene in front of her, Hinasaki Shinkuro whispered to herself. While tracking and searching for information, she also learned some rumors. One of them claimed that there was a village swallowed by a festival deep in the forest, and people who got lost in the forest would enter there and disappear.
And now it seems that I have clearly found the village.
However, unlike the shabby Himuro residence, this town, although somewhat run-down, was still flickering with light and shadows, and it looked as if someone was still living there. However, even with the lights on, there was not a single sound in the entire town, and it was as silent as a cemetery.
"……Why?"
However, just as Hinasaki Shinko was looking carefully at the village in front of her, she was suddenly surprised to find that in the light of the fire, two girls were walking on the street. They were not wearing ancient clothes, but very modern dresses. One of the girls seemed to have some inconvenience in her legs and feet. Hinasaki Shinko watched the two girls walk into a house next door and then disappeared.
What was going on? Was there someone else here besides me?
Hinasaki Shinku was also quite surprised at this moment. She stood there holding her mobile phone, staring at the big house where the two girls disappeared below, feeling a little hesitant.
According to common sense, it is impossible for ordinary people to step into this place. Even for me, it took me a long time to find the way in. Judging from Hinasaki Shinkuren's experience in Himuro Residence, the two girls should not be human, but ghosts. But looking at their appearance just now, they don't give people a sense of nothingness like ghosts. In other words... they are likely to have accidentally entered this village?
No matter what, let’s go and take a look first.
Thinking of this, Hinasaki Shinku hurriedly walked down the mountain along the path, and then came to the house that the two girls had entered before. Looking at the closed door, Hinasaki Shinku was a little dazed. At this moment, she seemed to recall the scene when she went to the Himuro residence to find her brother.
However, I am completely different now than I was then!
Hinasaki Shinkuen reached out her hand, pushed open the door, and strode into the house.
The interior of the house was already in tatters. Both the screens and the floors looked quite worn out. Only the light from the candles lit in the corners could allow one to see some things clearly.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
Hinasaki Shinkuen shouted softly while holding her phone and moving deeper. However, there was no sound in the whole room. At this moment, suddenly, from the depths of the corridor, Hinasaki Shinkuen heard a scream.
"ah--!!"
Hearing the scream, Hinasaki Shinku was also excited and ran towards the direction of the scream. Then she opened the door and rushed into a room inside.
Then, Hinasaki Shinku saw that in the room, the two girls in dresses that she had seen before were holding each other's hands tightly and looking ahead in fear. In front of them, a long-haired woman in a white shirt was slowly floating towards the two of them.
That's a vengeful spirit!!
At this moment, Hinasaki Shinku raised her cell phone without hesitation, and the holy light emitted from the cell phone instantly enveloped the long-haired ghost. At the moment of being illuminated by the holy light, the long-haired woman suddenly let out a painful scream, her figure began to become thin, and her whole movement became extremely slow.
At the same time, on the mobile phone screen in front of Hinasaki Shinku, five circles appeared one by one, enclosing the long-haired woman in the picture.
Then, Hinasaki Shinkuen pressed the shooting button without hesitation.
“Crack!!”
"ah--!!!"
With a shrill scream, the ghost of the long-haired woman turned into a ray of light, and was sucked into Hinasaki's deep red mobile phone along the holy light as if attracted by a magnet. Then a pale photo of a woman appeared in it, and then disappeared.
"call……"
Only at this time did Hinasaki Shinku heave a sigh of relief, then she turned around and looked at the two girls behind her.
"Are you all right?"
Then, Hinasaki Crimson asked.
