Geto Summer Oil took Rika Kimoto back to the Bandei Cult first, while Al and Gojo Satoru stayed to investigate the disappearance of Rika's father. Before they parted, they did not forget to give all their money to Ugly.

Ugly baby is good, Ugly baby is wonderful. Since I have Ugly baby, I can carry one less sack when I go out.

Yuta Otsutsuki is worried about Riko and wants to go with Geto Suguru. Yuta Otsutsuki's mother is worried about Yuta Otsutsuki and also wants to go with Geto Suguru.

Xia Yujie: “…”

Watching Otsutsuki's mother climbing onto the back of the manta ray with the help of Otsutsuki Yuta, he couldn't help but sigh - this Otsutsuki's mother is unexpectedly powerful!

In short, Geto summoned the devil fish curse spirit and returned to Tokyo with Otsuke and his mother and Inori Rika.

Half an hour later, with the help of the locals, Al and Gojo Satoru successfully found the mountain where Riko's father disappeared.

There were still signs of human life in the cabin, but the police had already searched it, and since a month had passed, there weren't many clues left.

"Did the father and daughter stay in the mountains for a week? I don't know when Rixiang's father disappeared."

Why did he bring Saika here? What happened here? Why did he disappear? What role did Saika play in this? Why was she possessed by an evil spirit?

The old man who had shown them the way heard that they were looking for the cabin and kindly advised them: "Don't go. A man has gone missing from the cabin up there. We still don't know if he's alive or dead. I heard the girl has gone crazy. The police searched the mountain for several days and finally called it a day when they couldn't find him."

Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses and tossed them back and forth in his hands. "There really is no trace of a curse... I think we should get a psychic to come over."

In this situation, either Oosaka-kun or Makoto-chan would be more useful than them.

"Um?"

Al stopped in the middle of the cabin and turned back to the spot he had just passed.

Sure enough, this location is a bit weird.

Al said uncertainly, "Go-chan, there seems to be something here."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru immediately walked over.

Alby drew a line and said, "There seems to be an air wall here. It freezes every time I pass by it."

Gojo Satoru walked over and tried it, and it was just as Al said, he tripped for no apparent reason. The feeling of stuttering was very slight and fleeting. If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely not take it to heart.

He nodded confidently: "Yes, it's true."

He walked back and forth a few times, bent down, and began to stare at the wooden floor with a focused gaze, thinking: "Al, this is a bug, right? Should I contact customer service to give feedback?"

People who didn't know what was going on might think they were playing some holographic online game.

Gojo Satoru patted the floor and said seriously, "There is definitely something underneath here, but you need to follow the correct steps to enter the space below."

This kind of thing again...

Al asked him, "What if we choose to break through violently?"

Gojo Satoru thought about it and said readily, "Let's give it a try."

After gaining recognition from his companions, Al lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of fire like magma.

“——!”

If Gojo Satoru hadn't used his unlimited power to block it in time, his hand would have been burned off by the fire.

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Do you really trust his defensive abilities?

After the floor was burned through, the invisible air wall and the sleight of hand also became ineffective. After all, Al was a bug-like existence who could fight cursed spirits with magic power, so setting up barriers was no problem at all.

Sure enough, a pitch-black hole appeared under the burnt floor. They looked at each other and nodded to each other. Al jumped down first without hesitation.

He has a strong sense of being a Heroic Spirit, or a patriarch, and when faced with unknown and dangerous situations, he has already begun to consciously take the lead. This is probably a sense of responsibility that comes with becoming a Heroic Spirit.

Sometimes when Al is bored, he would sigh that he has grown a lot in the past year - spiritually.

After passing through a long tunnel, a huge hole appeared before them.

There was no sunlight and no lighting in here. It was completely dark inside and filled with a foul smell of decay. Fortunately, the heroes had good eyesight, and the six eyes also had excellent eyesight. They could clearly see the mess inside.

It is the trace of fighting.

A fierce battle had once taken place in this space. The walls were covered with knife marks, some deep, some shallow, and crisscrossed. In the middle, there was a faintly visible huge magic circle smeared with blood. Al walked around and then picked up a red terminal as big as a game console from it.

It's a bit like the Tetris machine he played as a child.

"Go-chan, look at this."

Gojo Satoru was picking up a broken sword from the ground. Upon hearing this, he reached out and took the thing from Al's hand.

He tilted his head. "What is this?"

Al smiled and said, "Well, who knows? It's not a game console anyway. There are traces of being cut with a knife. And..."

He pointed at the top of their heads and said, "Should we call the police?"

Above their heads were hanging corpses, both male and female, most of which were in disarray and had incomplete limbs.

Some were missing arms and legs, or had their internal organs dug out. In short, they died miserably. The strong stench in here was coming from these corpses.

Gojo Satoru scratched his hair.

"It's really annoying." He said in disgust, "Originally, this matter should be handed over to the senior executive, but now... Tsk. Al, call Jay and ask him what he wants to do."

At the same time, Panxing Sect.

In the infirmary on the second floor, Makoto Higa, who was summoned urgently, was muttering to herself. Riko Inori, who was lying on the bed, had a face full of pain, and was obviously fighting hard with the evil spirits in her body. Geto Suguru stood aside with a serious look on his face, ready to provide support at any time.

If the attempt to exorcise the evil spirit fails, Higa Makoto will suffer a backlash. With his "chastity" around, at least he won't die suddenly on the spot.

Okkotsu and his mother were waiting anxiously outside the door.

After a while, Rika Kimoto suddenly spat out a mouthful of black blood. Xia Yujie only heard a few sharp screams in his ears, and then Rika Kimoto fell heavily back on the bed.

Higa Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.

She was sweating profusely, but she still smiled slightly, "It worked, Master Geta!"

Exorcise the evil spirits, success!

Xia Yujie also breathed a sigh of relief. He walked forward and gave Higa Makoto a virtual hug: "Thank you for your hard work, Makoto."

Then, he told the people outside the door: "Otsutsuki-kun, you can come in now."

The door of the infirmary was opened impatiently. Otsukotsuki Yuta threw himself on the bed and saw Rikka vomiting blood. He said sadly, "Rikka..."

Mother Otsukotsu asked Kayu Ken and Higa Makoto, "Is Sarikatsu okay?"

Kagome looked at Higa Makoto, who nodded and replied a little stiffly: "She is fine now, but because of the evil spirit, her physical condition has been very poor recently, and she needs to rest for a while before she can recover. By the way, my ring..."

ring?

Otsutsuki Yuta noticed that there was a small ring on Rikka's finger. He quickly took off the ring and handed it to Higa Makoto. Higa Makoto thanked him and explained, "This is used to protect her soul from being harmed by evil spirits. Now that the evil spirits have been driven away by me, she no longer needs this."

The little boy's eyes turned red and he said sincerely, "Thank you for saving Rixiang!"

Higa Makoto smiled and shook her head.

They considerately left the infirmary to Rika Kimoto and Otsutsuki mother and son and quietly left.

Xia Yujie said to Higa Makoto, "Excuse me, I called you up here suddenly. You must be startled, right?"

Higa Makoto shook her head: "This is my duty as a medium."

She looked back at the infirmary. "Besides...the children are very cute. Will they live with us in the future?"

"Well, probably, but I'd better ask Rikka. But then again, you really like children."

"Yeah. Because... ever since the miscarriage, I can't have children of my own."

“…”

Xia Yujie was stunned for a moment when he heard such a heavy bomb. "Huh?"

Higa Makoto quickly said, "I'm sorry for saying that suddenly..."

"Wait, Makoto, that's not what I meant." Xia Yujie said with a strange expression: "How old are you?"

"I am twenty-six years old."

Xia Yujie was shocked. They had always thought that Higa Makoto was very young and usually called people Makoto without any objection. But then, this, this, this...

He said awkwardly: "Hahaha...we always thought you were in your teens."

Her age was not mentioned in her resume, and Makoto had a baby face and petite figure of a 15-year-old girl. The key point was her personality, which was very simple and confused. So they naturally regarded Makoto Higa as the strongest (psychic) ​​sister who was a rebellious dropout from school.

Damn it, it turns out that Makoto's boyfriend is not an old cow eating young grass! Nor is he a cunning office worker who seduces underage girls!

Higa Makoto was stunned, but seemed a little happy. There is no woman who would not like others to compliment her on her youthful face.

At this moment, Xia Yujie's phone suddenly rang. Xia Yujie took out the phone from his wide sleeves and saw that it was a call from Al.

"Moshi Moshi? Al? Is your investigation making any progress?"

"Jack, listen to me, we have big news here!"

…

An hour later, Al, Gojo Satoru, and Summer Oil Jie gathered urgently in Senwang Township and looked at each other in confusion.

Albi made a "done" gesture: "The cabin has been taken over by Director Ishida and Senior Oosaka. The director is very excited. He contacted the police officers he knew and decided to start the filming plan of "The Detective 3" in advance."

Xia Yujie said helplessly: "This must be a case of madness."

Gojo Satoru affirmed: "'Paranormal Activity 3' will also be a big hit."

Al: “That’s right.”

Kagome: “…Indeed.”

To be honest, this is much more exciting than the Alai God Chapter in Kurokawa-go.

In autumn, Xianwang Township is nestled among the mountains of maple trees, which is particularly romantic.

Ah Ling waited for them at the door for a long time. After they arrived, it came straight to the point and said, "Xianwang Township has indeed recovered a few new undead just now. They have calmed down and agreed to talk to you."

"Thank you. I'm sorry to bother you."

The evil spirits in Qiben Lixiang's body were expelled by Higa Makoto herself, but those dead souls who died with their eyes open were unwilling to reincarnate. They were unwilling to reincarnate and had no new special physiques to rely on, so they were naturally attracted by the spiritual magnetic field of Senwang Township and came to Senwang Township.

After not seeing it for a long time, Xianwang Township looks much brighter and more beautiful than before. It is said that the proprietress cheered up and spent a lot of time redecorating Xianwang Township. The bloody sign at the door was replaced with the recently popular LED sign, the roof was also renovated, and the Jump on the bookshelf of the hot spring villa was replaced with new publications in recent years.

Led by A Ling, the three of them walked through the corridor and opened the door of a teahouse.

The proprietress was sitting inside, and opposite her were three translucent new customers.

A shivering fat man, an angry woman, and a gloomy uncle.

Al and the other two: "..."

They seemed to recognize who they were!

When the proprietress A Yan saw Al, a trace of doubt flashed across her eyes, but she did not ask any more questions at this time. She just said, "Come and sit down. These three ghosts are the souls that possessed the little girl's body before. They have something to say."

The three members of the Panxing Cult sat down in front of them as instructed. Al glanced at the undead and said confidently, "Yeah, I understand."

He pointed at the gloomy man and said, "You are the man who yelled at others to get out."

The gloomy man lowered his head and said nothing, but judging from his expression, he seemed to be a little gloomier than before.

Al pointed at the angry woman again: "You are the one with the loudest voice."

Angry woman: "..."

Gojo Satoru said coldly: "Yes, you even ruined the little devil's voice."

The angry woman became even angrier: "I was born with a loud voice, what can I do?!"

Xia Yujie looked at her furious expression and asked in confusion: "Weren't you smiling when you were inside Uchika before? Why are you so angry now?"

The woman said angrily, "I laugh when I want to laugh, I get angry when I want to get angry, it's none of your business! You small-eyed stinky man, you look like a man who cheats women!"

Xia Yujie: “…”

He shut up.

Al pointed at the shivering fat man and narrowed his eyes: "You are the one who eats sparrows, right? Why, you like to eat game?"

The fat man trembled and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm just very hungry. I didn't eat enough before I died, and I was very hungry after I became a ghost. But there was nothing to eat in her house, so I resisted the urge to eat the old lady and ate sparrows instead."

Al and the other two: "..."

My goodness, it turns out you want to eat people. Should we continue to praise you?

Is the power of the hungry ghost so great?

Gojo Satoru pretended to spread out his notebook and said in a businesslike manner: "Name, age, occupation, how did you die, and any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me."

Perhaps frightened by Gojo Satoru's momentum, the trembling fat ghost said, "My name is Tanaka Shota, I'm 27 years old, and I'm a half-gourmet."

Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow: "Half a gourmet? How many are you? Tell me clearly."

"It's just... I like to get together with members of the Food Lovers Association. We will travel around, try the local food, and then write guides and post them on the blog."

“Oh~” Gojo Satoru understood: “Go on.”

"Once, a group friend invited me to go to the mountains to eat wild game, saying that the snakes on that mountain were the most delicious. But after I went to the agreed cabin, he killed me and turned me into a ghost."

Al's eyes changed: "Huh? Eat snakes?"

The fat man, who had no good eyesight, nodded: "Yes, I... I am only 27 years old. I am still so young, and there are so many delicacies in the world that I have not tasted. I don't want to die, I am unwilling to give up!"

Xia Yujie looked at the "evil spirit" in front of him, somewhat speechless and somewhat sympathetic. The proprietress beside him patted his shoulder with a look of familiarity and said, "There's nothing strange about it. The reasons why the dead die with their eyes open are just so varied."

The young man with long light green hair approached the fat man with an unhappy look on his face. His face was almost touching the fat man's face. Because of the special physique of the heroic spirit, he actually did touch it!

Al looked at him unkindly and asked, "Eat snakes? Do you like eating snakes?"

The fat man was stunned, and finally realized the danger slowly. He trembled even more violently.

"No, no, not necessarily... I rarely eat."

"Hmm~ I see, so that's how it is. Hmm, so that's how it is."

The fat man glanced down and suddenly caught a glimpse of a snake tail covered with scales. He was immediately frightened: "Ah! Snake! Snake--!"

He tumbled and crawled out of the teahouse, and Al swam out after him. Xia Yujie shouted at their backs: "Don't kill me!"

He was answered by Al's strange laughter, the faint laughter seemed to still echo in the corridor.

“…” He sighed, “Wu, let’s continue.”

Gojo Satoru knocked on the table and said, "It's your turn."

The gloomy man said, "Saitoki, 34 years old. He went hiking with his girlfriend and stopped at a cabin on the way. Then he died."

Gojo Satoru asked him, "Who killed him?"

"By a man named Qi Ben. After I became a ghost, I heard the person who called him called him Mr. Qi Ben."

Oh no.

The two special sorcerers looked at each other and drew a big circle around this matter.

This is big news!

The angry woman said coldly, "I was deceived by that bastard. I had planned to go mountain climbing with him that day, intending to kill him in the mountains. I didn't expect to be ambushed in the cabin. It's really unlucky."

“…”

This sister is really heavyweight!

Gojo Satoru looked confused and asked, "Hey, what's your relationship with this Saito Itsuki?"

"Haha." The woman sneered, "This is the dog man who deceived me."

The man lowered his head, indicating that he didn't want to say anything more.

The boys suddenly understood the reason for his gloomy mood.

"So, are you three the only three evil spirits possessing Sarikatsu? It's said there are more than three bodies in that cave."

"Only us." The angry woman said, "That crazy man said he wanted to resurrect his wife and use our bodies for experiments, but the experiment didn't succeed at all. He spent many days and almost turned us into mummies, but still didn't succeed."

The woman said with disgust:

"In the end, he even pulled his own daughter over to let her bleed. I've never seen anyone who would rather kill his daughter than save his wife. Don't you men prefer your wives to die?"

“…”

Calm down, sister, and don't shoot innocent minors.

Gojo Satoru was interested and asked, "So, you all possessed that girl?"

The angry woman said, "Yes. After her father bled her, her body became weak, and we took advantage of the opportunity and entered her body... We didn't want to hurt that girl, she was quite pitiful, but..."

The gloomy man said, "We can't control ourselves."

As the possession lasted longer, the dark side in their hearts gradually became magnified, their temperaments became more and more extreme, and their rationality became weaker and weaker. They did many things that would scare the little girl. If the little girl had not received timely help from the exorcists, they themselves did not know what they would have done.

Al asked: "Do you know what happened there in the end? Where did Mr. Qiben go in the end?"

The angry woman shook her head.

"I don't know. But after we possessed Ri-ka, we heard that crazy man arguing with someone on the phone. He was saying something, something..."

The boys subconsciously leaned forward, waiting for the woman to continue speaking.

"What are you talking about... All plans have failed. Now that things have come to this, we can only agree to the request of the Retrograde Army and save his wife by changing history."

"!!!"

The proprietress A Yan, who had been watching quietly, suddenly widened her eyes and said, "What did you say? Whose request is he going to agree to?!"

The angry woman hesitated and said, "Hmm - the Tracing Army? That should be the name."

The lady boss jumped up: "Tracing Army! He actually dared to cooperate with the Tracing Army!"

She paced back and forth in the tea room. "No, the Retrograde Army must not interfere with the real world. This matter should be notified to the government of time to handle it. Gojo, Getsu, where is that place? I want to go and see it myself!"

Gojo Satoru said, "Ah... I have some photos and a strange thing here. Do you want to see them?"

He rummaged in his pocket and handed the broken terminal to the proprietress Ayan. The proprietress took the terminal, took a look at it, and said affirmatively: "Yes, this is a time-space device, but it is not the model used by the Time Government. It should be something from the Retrograde Army..."

She looked at the photos of the scene that Gojo Satoru had taken with his phone, and after a while, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It should be that the Retrograde Army briefly invaded the human world, but alarmed the Guardians of History and was defeated by them. The person who summoned the Retrograde Army should have been involved in this battle and disappeared."

“…”

To re-examine this matter, after Rixiang's mother died a year ago, Rixiang's father has been looking for a way to resurrect his deceased wife, and he even killed passers-by in the cabin to conduct a resurrection experiment.

A month ago, he tried to use his own daughter as a sacrifice to resurrect his wife, but failed again. During this failed ceremony, Riko was possessed by an evil spirit.

Frustrated, Rika's father chooses to cooperate with the Retroactive Army and summons them into the cave, which in turn attracts the Guardians of History. They are dragged into the battle and disappear. The Retroactive Army and the Guardians of History also disappear shortly afterwards, leaving only a pile of swords and time-space devices on the ground.

A week later, Saeki was rescued, and after spending a month in darkness with the evil spirits, her life was in danger. Otsukotsu Yuta took the initiative to contact the Pansei Cult in order to save Saeki, which led to all these things happening by accident.

Gojo Satoru said sharply, "The barrier in that cabin is very exquisite. It is definitely not something that an ordinary person can make. That place was specially provided to him by someone. Madam Boss, if you want to investigate, it's best to start from this point."

The lady boss sighed: "I don't want to deal with the government of time, but now that things have come to this, there is nothing I can do."

With a bang, Al came back carrying the fat man.

Although it was a translucent soul, the fat man who was beaten black and blue begged for mercy: "I was wrong, I was wrong, Lord Snake Fairy, I will never eat snakes again in my life."

Al said calmly: "Oh, how rude, I am a dragon. And your life has already ended."

The fat man was very sad when he heard this.

"Well, well, well, you are a dragon, so why are you hitting me?"

He asked this question and was punched again.

Al smiled and said, "Remember, don't eat game casually, do you hear me?"

"I heard it, I heard it!"

Gojo Satoru: “…”

Xia Yujie: “…”

I understand. When the Panxing Cult accepts gifts from its followers, it must not accept snake meat!

Boss Ayan suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, is Makoto with you?"

Xia Yujie was stunned, "Yes."

The lady boss said, "Please take good care of her. At the end of the year, Higa Kotoko and Kujuku Yuki will come to the Bankei Cult to visit you in person."

Wow.

Xia Yujie raised his eyebrows and said cheerfully, "Of course, Makoto is already our family, we will take good care of her. As for Ms. Higa and Ms. Jiujiu, we are also welcome to come anytime."
