As the yacht slowly approached the shore, the girls got off the boat one after another. Looking at the abandoned island in front of them, everyone felt a little uneasy.

"Then it's decided."

Shizuku turned around and looked at the girls around her and said that the candidates for the trip had been decided. In addition to Mizunotsuki Ryuka, Aso Misaki and Tsukimori Sonaka, who had to accompany them as the client, Hinasaki Shinku would naturally go as an assistant. The others were basically volunteers - so Kurosawa Rei also joined.

She is a photographer who specializes in shooting supernatural subjects, so she naturally would not miss this opportunity.

What is a bit surprising is the Tiancang sisters.

Originally, Shizuku wanted the Amagura sisters to stay on the yacht with Kagari no Kirie, but Amagura Mayu strongly requested to go with them, which surprised her younger sister Amagura Mio. However, Amagura Mayu seemed to have her own reasons. According to her, when she was in Minamigami Village, she was possessed by Kurosawa Sajō and had almost no memories of that time. In the incident of Kurosawa Rei, Amagura Mio was pulled into Kurosawa Rei's dream for some reason, but she slept until dawn. So much so that Amagura Mayu felt that she was excluded when she saw her sister becoming close to Hinasaki Shinku and Kurosawa Rei overnight.

That's why she strongly requested to go with him this time.

Amakura Mio obviously didn't want her sister to do this. After all, she had difficulty walking. Although she couldn't see anything here so far, based on her experience, she was afraid that there were also evil spirits on the Longyue Island. If her sister went up, she might be in danger. But Amakura Mayu insisted on participating, and Amakura Mio couldn't dissuade her. As for Shizuku... she nodded in agreement.

For Shizuku, the safety of Amagura Kanon itself is not a problem. She was able to be pulled back when she was possessed by Kurosawa Yae in Minamigami Village. The trouble on Oborozuki Island is nothing to Shizuku.

Not only that, the sisters also have the power of "recalling" similar to Hinasaki Shinku, but they are more limited. First, Amakura Mayu and Amakura Mio must be together to exert this power. Secondly, they cannot choose to investigate and recall according to their own will like Hinasaki Shinku, but it is like receiving the residual waves of thoughts in the air, which is sometimes effective and sometimes not. For Shizuku, this place is also suitable for the two of them to train, so there is no harm in agreeing.

In Shizuku's opinion, among the girls around her, excluding the non-human existence of Kagami no Kirie, the one with the strongest spiritual power is Hinasaki Shinku, followed by Amakura Mayu and Amakura Mio, and finally Kurosawa Rei. Among the three clients, Aso Misaki and Mizunotsuki Ryuka's spiritual power is basically the same as Amakura Mayu, and Tsukimori Sonaka's spiritual power level is not much different from Kurosawa Rei.

"Oh, take this."

After getting off the yacht and arriving at the dock, Shizuku grabbed a handful of amulets from her arms and handed them over.

"This is?"

"You can tell from the look of it that it's a talisman. It can protect you from attacks by evil spirits. If you encounter any danger, you can just tear it open and I will come right away."

After hearing what Shizuku said, Hinasaki Shinku, the Amakura sisters and Kurosawa Rei quickly reached out and took the amulet. They had all been helped by Shizuku and had no doubts about her ability. Mizunotsuki Ruka and the other three girls were a little confused, but they also obediently took the amulet and put it on.

"I think you should know clearly, but I still want to say it again, it's very dangerous here, so don't separate, at least two people should stay together. If you find yourself separated from others inexplicably, don't hesitate, open the amulet at the first time, understand?"

From the outside, Shizuku didn't look very old, but her words seemed to carry a sense of authority that no one could question, so that the girls nodded involuntarily. Hinasaki Shinku showed a puzzled expression, and when no one was paying attention, she sneaked up to Shizuku.

"Sister Shizuku, you didn't do this before, did you?"

In Hinasaki Shinku's impression, Shizuku was always swift and decisive when exorcising ghosts. She would just demolish everything from beginning to end. Originally, Hinasaki Shinku thought that after Shizuku came to Oborozuki Island, she would summon a bunch of undead as she did before and make the entire Oborozuki Island a mess.

"Before, it was mainly an emergency and we were busy saving people, but this time it's mainly an investigation, so there's no need to be so anxious."

Shizuku shrugged and answered.

"In my opinion, this is also an opportunity for you to correctly understand and deal with evil spirits. Don't worry, the evil spirits on this island are not particularly powerful. They are far inferior to those you have encountered before. As long as you deal with them carefully, there will be no problem."

"I see."

Hearing this, Hinasaki Shinku finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the case. At first, in Himuro Residence, she hoped that Shizuku would save her brother. In Minamigami Village, they needed to rescue the possessed Amagura Mayu. In the case of Kurosawa Rei, she had been cursed by the tattoo and was in danger.

Although these incidents were all easily resolved due to Shizuku's powerful strength, when you think about it carefully, each time was indeed a situation where human lives were at stake.

In comparison, although the experiences of Mizunotsuki Ryuka and the other three are sympathetic, their main reason for going to Oborozuki Island was not to rescue someone, but to investigate their lost memories and past, so they were naturally not so anxious, at least not to the point where they had to race against time or someone would die.

That's why Shizuku agreed to let Amagura Mayu come along, obviously intending to use this place to train the girls.

"Relax, don't you always have to participate in a courage test when you go to the beach? Just treat it as part of the entertainment program of your vacation."

"This entertainment program is really..."

Hearing this, Hinasaki Shinku's face twitched. It was true that participating in the courage contest was a must-do when on vacation at the beach. But that was all fake. These were all real evil spirits. In the eyes of Shizuku-sister, this island was just like an amusement park.

With Sister Shizuku's strength, perhaps this is indeed the case...

So, the group joined the "One-day Tour of Oborozuki Island", and only Kaname Kirie stayed on the yacht with a stern face. Of course, the others were also curious about why Kaname Kirie looked like this, but after Shizuku said, "Girls always have those days," everyone else understood, except Hinasaki Shinku, who wondered, "Do vampires also have those days?"

But... this is really interesting.

Looking at the girls in front of her, Shizuku had a subtle expression.

The reason was simple. Since the original plan for today was to go on a long sea trip, except for Mizunotsuki Ruka and the other three girls and Shizuku herself, the other girls were all wearing swimsuits. Even now, they were only wearing coats and slippers on their feet.

If Oborozuki Island had not been abandoned, they would have looked like just tourists visiting the beach during the tourist season.

But now, in the dark night, under the silvery moonlight, on the dilapidated and spooky dock, a group of girls in swimsuits were chatting and laughing... This couldn't help but remind Shizuku of the swimsuit DLC that many Japanese games had in the past...

That scene was really... well, players, please dress like human beings.

The entire Oborozuki Island is very large, and it is certainly impossible to conduct a carpet search with just a few people. However, there is no need for this because Aso Misaki and the others still have some clues - there is a photo of the five of them taken together in Oborozuki House, which confirms that no matter what the reason, these five girls did stay in Oborozuki House together for a period of time when they were young.

So they decided to go to Longyue Pavilion and start investigating.

The so-called Longyue Hall is a building that combines recuperation and treatment. It can be said to be similar to the VIP ward building of a hospital. The girls walked into the Longyue Hall and then looked around - the entire Longyue Hall was dark and gloomy, with only the moonlight shining in from the window, bringing some light.

“This place looks shabby.”

“It’s true that no one has lived here for a long time.”

Looking at the Oborozuki Pavilion in front of them, Hinasaki Shinku and Kurosawa Rei also gave their own evaluations, which made Mizunotsuki Ruka and the other three girls relax a lot. They were originally very nervous and worried about whether they would encounter any problems when they came here. Now it seems that having more people is indeed beneficial. At least it is much better than the three of them barging in here.

"Did you remember anything, Yuanxiang?"

Shining the flashlight forward, Aso Misaki asked, while Tsukimori Sonaka shook her head timidly.

"No, because it happened a long time ago..."

"The photos taken by the five of us are indeed from this place."

Aso Misaki took out the photo and compared it with the Oborozuki-kan in front of her. Tsukimori Sonaka looked around uneasily. Although she was surrounded by people, she seemed to be very resistant to what she saw.

“Misaki, is it really okay for us to come here? I can’t think of any places where we took photos…”

"You just need to do what I say."

In response to Tsukimori Sonoka's somewhat timid remarks, Aso Misaki answered stiffly, scaring Tsukimori Sonoka so much that she immediately shrank back.

"Or do you want to become like that?"

“…”

Hearing this, Yuemori Yuanxiang's face turned pale. She remembered what she saw in the photo, the tragic deaths of her other two companions. They curled up their bodies, covering their faces with their hands, with distorted expressions and dying in pain, which made her feel extremely terrified.

However, the next moment, an unprecedented scene appeared in Yuemori Yuanxiang's mind.

The girl who was taken away, the mysterious ritual, the dead... and then...

"don't want!!!"

Hearing Tsukimori Enka's call, the others stopped immediately.

"Ms. Yuanxiang, what's wrong with you?"

“I…I…”

Tsukimori Sonaka raised her head and looked around, only to see that everyone, including Mizunotsuki Ryuka, were looking at her worriedly. She gritted her teeth and continued to speak.

"I, I seem to remember something?"

"What did you remember?"

"Well... I remember... I seemed to see a man in a suit taking a girl away... Then, someone wearing strange clothes and a strange mask was playing music, and then suddenly..."

Having said that, Tsukimori Sonaka couldn't help but shiver.

"A big sister wearing a mask and dancing fell down, her mask fell to the ground, she seemed to be dead, everyone was shocked..."

"And then? What happened then?"

At this time, Aso Misaki also came back, and when she heard what Tsukimori Sonaka said, she immediately asked hurriedly. In the face of Aso Misaki's questioning, Tsukimori Sonaka kept shaking her head.

"I don't know, I only remember these, I don't know... I'm so scared, I want to go back!"

"you……!!"

Hearing what Tsukimori Enka said, Aso Misaki tried to reach out and grab her, but Mizunotsuki Ruka blocked Aso Misaki.

"Misaki, let's stop here."

"……snort."

Aso Misaki glanced at the others, then turned around and walked forward, and with the comfort of Hinasaki Shinku and Mizunotsuki Ruka, Tsukimori Sonaka, who was on the verge of collapse, finally calmed down, and then everyone continued to move forward.

But this time, no one said anything more.

After that, the group continued to move forward and came to a door on the first floor with a plaque that read "Aso Kunihiko Memorial Hall".

"What is this place?"

Kurosawa Rei looked at the plaque in front of her in confusion. It was clearly a sanatorium, but there was also a memorial hall?

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be a memorial hall for my ancestors."

"Ancestor? Ah, come to think of it, your last name is also Aso..."

"Um."

Aso Misaki nodded.

"Although I'm not very clear, according to my family, my ancestor was a very famous folklorist. He once came to Longyue Island and lived here for a period of time. He then got married and had children here. Later, Longyue Island built the room where he lived at that time into a memorial hall in order to commemorate him."

As she spoke, Misaki Aso reached out her hand and tried to open the door, but it was locked.

"what to do?"

"Why don't we go find the key? It should be at the nurses' station..."

Just as the girls were discussing, Shizuku walked over silently, stretched out her hand, clenched her fist, and punched the door in front of her.

"boom!!"

The wooden door shattered, and everyone was stunned when they saw this scene - only Hinasaki Shinku and Amakura Mio remained calm.

Shizuku clapped her hands, then turned around and gestured to everyone.

"Okay, it's open, let's go in."

Soon, everyone walked into the Aso Memorial Hall, where various things were displayed. Among them, Kurosawa Rei discovered something that surprised her greatly.

“Look at this!”

As she spoke, Kurosawa Rei walked to a cabinet and pointed inside. She saw an old-fashioned camera placed inside the glass cabinet.

"Ah, that was made by my ancestors."

Aso Misaki also walked over and started introducing them.

"I heard from my family that our ancestors created this projection machine, which can capture evil spirits and repel and seal them. In fact, I have such a thing at home as well."

As she spoke, Aso Misaki took out a projector of the same model from her side.

"Maybe you don't believe it, but..."

But before Aso Misaki could finish her words, she was stunned.

Because in front of her, Amakura Mio also silently took out an identical projector, and on the other side, Kurosawa Rei also took out a projector from her bag.

“…”

Everyone looked at the strange scene before them and fell into silence for a moment.
