Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1477 1149. Hazard

Wu Ming simply pointed the direction to Lan En and described the address of the client she accepted, and Lan En already had a rough idea in his mind.

The castle town of Iwamura Castle is not big, but for individual resident families, there is also a distance.

According to the location Wu Ming said, the family she actually took on the exorcism commission was still two streets away from here!

This distance is too far.

Moreover, the two families are not even adjacent to each other, whether vertically or horizontally, it doesn’t matter at all.

The concept of [filth] is similar to Japanese ghost stories, or perhaps it can be said that this phenomenon is the basis of Japanese ghost stories.

Logically speaking, these things will only be contaminated by people when they enter the house of the dead and come into contact.

But the two families are so far apart, how could it be.

"It's, it's a coincidence."

Wu Ming blinked his eyes, with uncertainty in his tone, and a subtle, subconscious resistance.

If two things with low probability happen at the same time and in the same area, seemingly unrelated.

Then, compared to the two things really being "unrelated, just coincidences", there is another greater possibility.

——The internal connections between these two things are so complicated and complicated that those who can only see the leopard through the tube mistakenly think that the two things are unrelated.

Wuming does not understand this concept, but she subconsciously feels that if this matter is really as the demon hunter in front of her said, then it means that there must be very bad consequences!

So there is this subconscious resistance in her expression.

For cities outside the state of war, death is not a trivial matter. After the death, the city lord or the chief officer in charge will also arrange for priests or onmyojis, or even people who know a little about rituals, to go and purify [residual filth].

Even if you don't know anything, as long as you have talismans or sacrificial utensils from senior priests and onmyojis, ordinary people can complete the work.

The main threat of [residual filth] to the human world has always been "the possibility of summoning monsters and evil spirits", not [residual filth] itself.

It is not difficult to eliminate under normal circumstances.

So after Wuming received the commission to "purify the [filth]" from the residents in the city, he did not simply let his [guardian spirit] out for a walk and be done with it.

Out of professional ethics and her inherently simple character, she also had to deal with those monsters that might have been attracted.

So, when she was wandering around this area, she saw Lan En and the flannel ball who were different from ordinary people and began to observe them.

But now, although Lan En had just stepped into this city and began to investigate this [filth] that was contaminated with him, he already felt that this [filth] was completely abnormal!

"[Filth] will have an impact on people similar to when they were formed."

Lan En simply and straightforwardly stated part of his summary of this supernatural pollution phenomenon.

"Then can you tell me now, what is the client you received and what their family is experiencing now?"

At this time, the old woman's body was still lying on the bed in their house.

Maybe two days ago, she and her son were lying on this bed, two bodies that were not rich but at least alive.

But now, her son died in the Thirteen Sakura Village, and she herself died in the same way.

The wooden house was dark and smelly.

But Wuming seemed to have thought of something after Lan En's reminder, and relaxed a little.

"My employers, they said that there are always children crying under the floor of their house."

Japanese-style buildings sometimes use many short pillars like waterside buildings to support the entire house to a small height.

This height is basically enough for people to squat or crawl through it.

So occasionally hearing something moving under the floor, it is probably something like wild cats and dogs.

Wuming waved his hand.

"That family knew it was abnormal as soon as they heard it, because their house is similar to this place."

"It's just a wooden house and straw hut built directly on the loess. How can it be like a wealthy family, where the gap under the big house can be used for people to squat and walk, that kind of luxurious house?"

As he said, Wuming pointed to the small house where they were now indifferently.

"Look, she hanged herself. It's nothing like a child..."

"Her son just died in the Thirteen Sakura Village outside the city. Before he died, he kept shouting for the baby to stop crying."

Before Wuming could say the word "not related", Lan En immediately told him more.

And Wuming's face, which had just shown a little relaxation, froze as Lan En expected.

".Connected." Wuming's face was a little dull. "Thirteen Sakura Village, you mean the village outside the city that's more than a day's journey away? It's so widespread?"

"It's one thing to have a wide range of spread." Lan En also frowned at the same time, "but it's spreading in a proper city?"

[Residue] itself should not have much destructive power, and even if it is left alone, it will fade away.

But now this one can spread like an infectious disease, and there is no sign of weakening due to the extension of time and space. What's the situation?

The harm it can cause is completely different from the normal situation!

Although Iwamura Castle is only a small military stronghold that is almost like a fortress in Lan En's perspective. But in Japan at that time, it is a real, well-known and important city.

"No, it shouldn't be like this." Wuming waved his hand decisively and said, "Even if there are no famous shrines or temples in the city, it shouldn't be unable to deal with [filth]."

This is the truth. Even the Thirteen Sakura Village has its own means of exorcism.

How could there be a settlement that can't deal with [filth] in this world?

Even if a place is left vacant and left alone, waiting for it to decay and dissipate on its own, it can be considered a method.

But in today's Iwamura Castle, according to Lan En's meeting with Ando Morinari, the city lord really didn't know that such an extraordinary [filth] had appeared in his territory.

"So," Lan En shrugged and raised his chin towards the corpse on the ground. "Are you sure now that you have successfully exorcised the [filth] here?"

Wu Ming took off the evil ghost mask on his head and bit his lip while looking at the corpse.

The corpse that committed suicide by hanging now looked no different from a normal corpse, and even Wu Ming felt the same way just now.

The filthy and gloomy aura was swept away by her guardian spirit.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But after Lan En communicated with her about the situation, she now felt that this corpse that had been purified by the [Guardian Spirit] was vaguely sinking into darkness again.

This is the [Guardian Spirit]!

The spells and rituals of a serious high priest or monk are rarely comparable to the [Guardian Spirit] itself!

Even so, it can't be removed?

And there is more than one [Guardian Spirit] here, and the ninja cat next to this man has been possessed by [Shan Wipe].

In this small room, there are two precious [Guardian Spirits] that are hard to find in the whole country!

It is impossible for normal [Residue] to exist in this room.

"Anyway, let's put the body away first."

Lan En spoke first in the heavy and silent atmosphere.

Wuming opened his mouth subconsciously, but then closed it again.

According to Wuming's habit, it is enough to tell the city's government about this matter, and they will have corpse collectors to deal with it.

She usually purifies the body first, and those corpse collectors who are ordered by the city government have some tricks to deal with [Residue], so this is basically her habit.

But the current [Residue] is obviously not something that the corpse collectors can deal with with their tricks, so it is better not to involve more people.

Lan En walked out of the house first and walked towards the nearby government officials.

After the meeting, Ando Mamoru said that he would let him investigate freely, but considering his "complex and hidden" identity, it is impossible to really let him go around alone.

Although the people who accompanied him did not follow Lan En's words, they were also waiting for him in the castle tower far away.

Just give these people a heads-up and let them know that someone died in the city, and don't make a fuss or misunderstand Lan En and Wu Ming for handling the body.

The old woman's body was hanged in a secluded and deserted morgue.

This kind of abnormal [filth] must not be buried in the cemetery outside the city.

The cemetery is already full of yin energy, even with the shrine, it won't work. If it is mixed with this kind of abnormal [filth], God knows what it will become.

And when they put the body away, adhering to the principle of minimizing the involvement of others and controlling the spread of [filth], it was already dark.

"Let's continue tomorrow." Lan En came out of the morgue and said to Wu Ming behind him. "If the main problem is [Residual Filth] itself, although I am not an expert, we must follow the clues to find out its source, right?"

"Find out the source of [Residual Filth]?" Wuming hit his forehead with the heel of his palm and said distressedly. "I am not good at it at all."

In the past, when did she, who was blessed by [Guardian Spirits], really care about [Residual Filth]?

In Japan, because of the animism of Shintoism and the spread of Buddhism to the East during the Tang Dynasty, due to cultural integration, [Guardian Spirits] are collectively referred to as "Gods and Buddhas".

In other words, people who carry guardian spirits are "people blessed by gods and Buddhas".

[Residual Filth] will only make Wuming alert to those monsters that may be attracted.

She has never specifically looked for the cause of [Residual Filth].

If she happened to encounter the whole story of the occurrence of [Residual Filth], she would not reject chivalry.

But if she didn't encounter it, she would not be obsessed with it, just leave after purification.

After all, Japan was in turmoil right now, and even if she was a "person protected by gods and Buddhas", she only had so much energy and time. She couldn't care about the tragedy that was happening all over the world.
