Chapter 16
Sugawara Yoshiyo pushed a stack of documents in front of Jin with an expectant look on her face: "Could you please bring him here for me?"
Zenyuan Shener walked to the table with his arms folded and looked at the man in a suit in the photo on the document: "Who is this guy?"
"A small mafia boss in Italy disappeared after returning to Japan to visit his relatives a year ago. His elderly mother in the countryside asked me to find her son," explained Yoshiyo Sugawara.
The old mother in the countryside was fake at that time.
"This information is so detailed." After reading it page by page, Jin took out a photo from the file and wrote down the man's birth date.
"Is there anything else we need to prepare?" asked Chanyuan Shen'er. He was very curious whether humans really have such a thing as "soul".
"Twelve white candles, a handful of sea salt, and a cup of holy water in silver if possible," said King.
"How can we see the spirits you summoned?" Zenyuan Shen'er asked. "We can't just watch you chatting with the air."
"That's not a common method used by mediums. I will let the summoned soul attach itself to my body, and then Ms. Sugawara can ask anything she wants," Jin said.
"Besides this, what else can you do that can be seen immediately?" asked Chanyuan Shener.
The pale-faced boy seemed familiar with this kind of questioning. He looked at the coffee table in the living room.
A few seconds later, the fruit plate full of loquats on the coffee table flew into the air under everyone's gaze.
This move made Zenyuan Shener open his eyes wide: "It's a very practical ability." But he didn't know how heavy the objects it could float were.
Jin, understanding the subtext, smiled and said, "Although I don't remember, my spiritual power can lift objects weighing around 50kg at most."
Zenin Shinji subconsciously looked for a 50KG reference point and his eyes fell on Sugawara Yoshiyo, but he immediately looked away with a desire to survive.
Then Chanyuan Shener found that there was no need to be so careful, because the pair of pale blue eyes were staring at the boy brightly at this moment, and the passionate eyes made the black-haired boy's cheeks blush with embarrassment.
This is not the time to look at him with shining eyes and say "Shiner-kun is so powerful". Zenyuan Shiner knows that this is childish but he is looking forward to some tasks related to cursed spirits that will allow him to show off.
"Shinji-kun, can I ask you for a favor?" Sugawara Yoshiyo looked at the tall young man leaning on the sofa with an expectant look.
"Of course, Jiashisang." Chanyuan Shener was very satisfied to be remembered at this time.
Half an hour later, the automatic sensor door opened.
Wearing flip-flops and looking grumpy, Chanyuan Shen'er walked home carrying a bag of salt and candles. He didn't want to show off by running errands like this!
While Zenin Jiner was away, Jin looked at the expectant woman and said, "Ms. Sugawara, I can only pass on my methods and experience to you, but I can't guarantee success."
Sugawara Yoshiyo nodded. "Of course. Psychic mediums are extremely rare. I just want to learn more."
Jin picked up the things on the table and said, "Because Ms. Sugawara has prepared everything very comprehensively, summoning the soul will be easier.
Normally, the chances of being summoned from the place where the summoned person once lived or died are much higher, just like how you found me, Miss Sugawara.
The power of the soul leaves traces in the form of spiritual points, and those who can see these traces are called clairvoyants. "I can sense the strange power in Miss Sugawara's eyes," Jin said, looking into those beautiful eyes.
Sugawara Yoshiyo subconsciously touched the skin under her eyes: "These eyes have some special abilities. I can see more than others."
Not only cursed spirits, monsters, and even ghosts, everything can be captured by these eyes. This is one of the reasons why she was hired by the Death Service.
"Miss Sugawara, what do you want to ask after summoning him?" Jin asked. A hint of hesitation flashed in the young man's eyes, and he finally spoke out his guess: "What do you want to do with the summoned soul?"
Sugawara Yoshiyo looked at the boy in front of her. He was very smart, considerate and perceptive. Even though he knew that the shells they were using were made by her, he still asked this question that could have been avoided. This boy was very kind.
"I want to send the lost soul back to where it should go." Sugawara Yoshiyo said, she put her index finger on her lips: "This is our secret, you must never tell Jiner-kun."
Jin was surprised. This answer wasn't what he'd expected. All his prepared explanations were useless, and the boy stood there with his mouth open, bewildered.
Jin soon felt relieved. Being able to salvage his body from the lake and save his soul from wandering in the wild, he could also understand Miss Sugawara's act of helping the dead soul to be reincarnated into the afterlife.
So when Zenin Shin'er came back, he found that the young man was looking at Sugawara Yoshiyo with a look of admiration and respect.
"Did anything happen while I was away?" Zenin Shin'er asked suspiciously, and then he unscrewed the tube that Sugawara Yoshiyo had failed to open even with her gloves on.
The wooden jar was opened to reveal the velvet inner core. Chanyuan Shener noticed that the woman in front of him carefully picked out the sparkling cross necklace from the jar with chopsticks and placed it in the basin of water beside her.
Zen Yuan, who was in a blind spot in his knowledge, looked puzzled: "What are you doing?"
"That cross necklace has holy power. When soaked in water, it becomes holy water." Sugawara Yoshiyo explained.
Zen Yuan Shen'er knocked on the silver basin. As the water rippled, the shadow of the cross at the bottom of the water swayed with it. "It looks so casual."
Sugawara Yoshiyo nodded in agreement.
Zenyuan Shener glanced at the gloves thrown into the trash can, and felt more concerned.
Now is not the time to worry about these things because the seance ceremony has begun.
Twelve white candles were lit, and a photograph of the man they were looking for was placed in the center of the table.
Jin sat on the only chair beside the round table. The thin boy closed his eyes and muttered something.
The curtains in the room were drawn, and the flickering light from the candles made Jin's face look blue.
The atmosphere in the room was so good at this moment that Chanyuan felt uncomfortable and cleared his throat, wanting to say something.
Before Chanyuan Shener could open his mouth, he keenly noticed that the young man's breath and aura had changed.
This feeling was so mysterious that Zenyuan Shen'er did not see any summoned ghosts, but with his excellent perception and beast intuition, he realized that something was covering the boy's body.
The unknown world often represents danger, and Zen Yuan Shier understands this very well.
As the young man slowly stood up, Zenyuan Shener felt the hairs on his back stand up. His left hand quietly placed the holy water basin, and the other hand in his pocket touched the handle of the cursed knife.
Jin had a blank expression on his face and uttered a few words.
It was a very unfamiliar language, one that Zen Yuan had never heard before.
After a few seconds, "Jin" seemed to realize where he was: "Who are you and why am I here?"
This time he spoke in Japanese, and an expression of ferocity mixed with brutality appeared on Jin's fair face, which was very inconsistent. Zenyuan couldn't help but take two steps closer to observe.
There were only three people in the room, so Jin immediately looked at the young man who took two steps towards him and asked, "Which gang sent you?"
"Mr. Uno Takato, do you have any memory of what happened before you came here?" Sugawara Yoshiyo asked, supporting his face.
"Jin," whose name was called, shuddered. He turned to look at the woman leaning against the wall with a bewildered expression. "I remember I was in a casino and accidentally drank too much—"
He paused and made a thoughtful expression: "Are you from the casino? Did I commit a crime when I was drunk? I have money, everything can be negotiated-"
"Mr. Uno Takato, do you remember anything else?" asked Sugawara Yoshiyo.
"I was lucky and won a lot of money. I was holding my chips and then a hot woman holding a wine glass came over." Uno Takato stopped and looked at his hands. His expression changed from shock to despair. He realized what was happening to him.
Sweat appeared on the boy's forehead. It was obvious that under the current circumstances, Jin's spirit descent also had a time limit. The boy, his body shaking slightly, forced himself to ask the last sentence: "Where are my brothers?"
Sugawara Yoshiyo did not answer him, but quickly stepped forward to help the unconscious Jin.
Uno Takato's soul was tagged by Sugawara Yoshiyo and sent directly to the underground, while Zenin Jiner, who had been watching from the side, easily lifted Jin up and said, "Just leave him to me."
"That Uno Takato, he's dead." Zenin Jiner said, he glanced at Sugawara Yoshiyo: "What are you thinking about?"
"Takato Uno brought his younger brother with him at the time, but he disappeared after the accident." Yoshiyo Sugawara realized that the lucky ghost mission she had picked at random had not been completed.
"It seems like once is Jin's limit." Sugawara Yoshiyo sighed and summoned the stranded souls to send them away directly. This kind of work is really too easy!
Throwing Jin back into the warm quilt, Chanyuan Shener found the person who should have been sleeping in the cloakroom: "Jia Shi, what are you doing?"
"The work is not done yet, I can't rest yet," said Yoshiyo Sugawara.
"You're going to the casino where Uno Takato got into trouble." Zenin Jiner walked into the cloakroom: "I'll go with you."
Sugawara Yoshiyo, who was choosing accessories, raised her head in confusion. Was it an illusion? This guy sounded so excited.
Looking into those pale blue eyes, Chanyuan Shen'er said calmly, "After the last incident and the subsequent education, I will definitely perform actively this time.
This time, what identity do we use to investigate the casino?"
Sugawara Yoshiyo handed the young man a thick gold chain and a floral shirt: "Of course it's a gambling addict."
When Jin woke up, he found himself in the car. Sugawara Yoshiyo was wearing a red dress and wavy hair, looking at the huge display screen in front of her with headphones on.
The boy propped himself up and moved closer, only to find a video playing on the display screen. After watching for a few seconds, Jin realized that Miss Sugawara was probably being monitored.
Zen Yuan Shener smiled as he listened to the sound of the dice shaking in the sieve and the sound of the poker cards being shuffled, and the round chips turned flexibly at his fingertips.
Gambling at public expense brings special joy.
There were no instructions coming from the headset, which meant that he could play freely.
Zenyuan, who had only been to a small steel ball shop recently, started to place bets boldly and generously. The dealer smiled and dealt the cards to him one by one.
"There are hot drinks and medicine in the back seat. Are you feeling better?" Sugawara Yoshiyo temporarily disconnected the call with Zenin Shinji and turned her head to look at the boy next to her.
Jin looked at Chan Yuanshen'er moving among the crowd in the video. He almost didn't recognize him with his flowered shirt, thick gold chain, slicked-back hair and radical style.
It wasn't until he saw the big card table and the bunny girl dealer that Jin realized: "Did Shiner-kun go to the casino?"
"Takato Uno went to this casino with his two brothers."
Sugawara Yoshiyo recalled what he later saw from Uno Takato’s revolving lantern: “Later I found out that Uno Takato’s two younger brothers also failed to walk out of this casino.
These three people were strangers who came here for the first time but encountered something unexpected. I wanted to simulate the environment at that time as much as possible.
Don't worry, most of the time, Shen Erjun is still very reliable.
I've also designed a special script, so it's going to be foolproof," Sugawara Yoshiyo said confidently.
Jin nodded in confusion. Being a good kid at heart, he obediently drank his hot cocoa and sat beside them watching the surveillance video.
Jin stared at the surveillance footage, and after a few rounds, he said innocently, "Shin'er-kun's acting is really good. He lost most of his money in just a few rounds."
Sugawara Yoshiyo, who was leaning back in his chair, bit the straw in his mouth with a creaking sound and sneered, "This guy is acting in his true colors. He didn't tell me before he went in that he would lose every time he gambled.
And I designed the script so that he could win the whole thing!"
