I’m Really Unnerved In Tokyo

Below the "Senjuin Cemetery", inside the Sendagaya Tunnel.

"So, on the sidewalk of the Sendagaya Tunnel, there is a door frame that only you can see, and there is also a dark tunnel inside?"

At this moment, Kotori Yumayumi and Araki Sosuke were squatting on the side of the road, communicating with Mai Hanyu of the "temporary headquarters" in the van.

"That's right, I've already tried to walk around the door frame, and the symbols in the picture scroll have been turning around, pointing to the inside."

After repeated confirmations, the reason for Araki Sousuke's sudden disappearance and appearance was the dilapidated door frame standing alone in the middle of the sidewalk, which only he could "see".

"I think what Mr. Araki saw should not simply be called a 'door frame', but a 'torii gate', and there should be a hidden place behind it."

After thinking about it, Kotori Mayumi thinks there is only one possibility.

Torii, in the inheritance of Shintoism, is known as "one step in the realm of the gods, one step in the world".

Like torii gates, things like portals, tunnels, and passages also have a symbolic meaning of "leading to another world".

"How does the hidden energy field act on objects to produce this phenomenon of separating spaces? Oh hehehehe, it seems that there is a new research topic..."

Seemingly curious about this phenomenon, Mai Hanyu on the other end of the communication said that she wished she could come over in person.

"Unfortunately, it seems that there is no 'live broadcast' of video, but remote communication can barely be maintained."

"Then, what do we do next?"

"What else can I do, of course, follow the guidance of the 'arrow', and smash into the deepest place in a simple and rough way!"

"Okay, then let's go and see what's hidden behind this broken door..."

Araki Sousuke's figure disappeared in the middle of the tunnel again.

However, the priestess who was following him walked a few steps back and forth where he disappeared cutely, but still couldn't get in.

"Huh? Even if I'm in the right place, am I the only one who can get in?"

Reappearing half of his body again, looking at the miko behind him, Araki Sosuke scratched his head helplessly.

"It should be that my cultivation is not enough to break through this 'enchantment'..."

Kotori Yumasumi looked at him with peaceful eyes, but her cheeks bulged out of discouragement.

Not only the items indicated by the picture scroll, but even the secret of the Sendagaya Tunnel must be hidden in this hidden enchantment.

If it was so easy to decipher, the Tokyo Metropolitan Exorcism World would not have been troubled by this strange tunnel from time to time for decades.

"If only sleeping people can enter, it should be a problem with the frequency of the body's magnetic field! If it is in the 'connected' state..."

At the same time, Mai Hanyu's frenzied order came from the channel: "Sleeper, you hold the hand of Xiaoniao Yushi, and let's go in together and try."

"Hold, hold hands?"

"According to the Toyama Park Exorcism Operation and the analysis of previous experimental data, the magnetic field of the person in contact with you will also be synchronized for a short period of time, which can not only ablate the erosion of the hidden energy field, but also allow you to enter some places that were originally inaccessible. "

"I see……"

Listening to Mai Hanyu's description, last night in Toyama Park, the scene of the two standing hand in hand on the strange stairs where the ugly shrine visited, came to Kotori Yumaumi's mind again.

"But, but..."

Last night on Mount Hakone, holding Kotori Mayumi's hand was just a conditioned reflex out of desperation.

Holding hands under Mai Hanyu's "matchmaking" at this moment, Sousuke Araki always felt a little inexplicably guilty.

"Why, don't hold hands, do you still want to enter in any other position?"

Just when Araki Sousuke was about to say something, the girly catkin had already gently but firmly held his hand.

"Then please, Araki-sensei..."

Beside him, Kou Youzheng's eyelashes drooped slightly, and a blush appeared on his face.

"Still in a daze, what are you doing in a daze, let's go."

"oh……"

Feeling the boneless, slippery little hand in his hand, Sosuke Araki turned around stiffly, sweating profusely, and disappeared into the middle of the empty tunnel together with the figure of the girl.

...

"Survey Corps... This is the Wall of Maria... Rustle... Can you hear me... Zizi... How are you doing?"

In the earphones, there was intermittent inquiry from Hanyu Mai.

"Feather...Wall of Maria...Occasionally there will be electromagnetic interference...but communication can still be maintained..."

Araki Sousuke listened carefully to the voice in the earphone, and communicated with Hanyu Mai about the current situation.

"Our side is in a tunnel, but it's a little different..."

Passing through the strange door frame, the two were still inside the Sendagaya Tunnel.

"If I insist on explaining it, it's like the relationship between Omoyoban and ***, this place should be regarded as the 'Sato-Sendagaya Tunnel'."

But the two-door, four-lane tunnel with the same structure has completely changed at this moment.

Without the dim lights and the occasional passing vehicles, the quiet and dark interior of the tunnel exuded a cold and muddy atmosphere.

Whether looking forward or backward, there is only an endless and desperately dark tunnel.

From the top of the tunnel to the inner walls on both sides, they are all made of dark red flesh that is as uneven as human internal organs and is still slightly wriggling.

"Tick tock, tick tock..."

From time to time, dark red sticky drops of blood dripped from the top of the tunnel.

"So, that should be the 'water' that has been leaking from the top of the tunnel."

Sousuke Araki, who stretched out his hand, showed a wry smile as he watched the "drops of blood" dripping on his palm, turning into resentment and transpiring into his body.

"Teacher Araki, look...the one engraved on this door seems to be a family crest."

Standing behind him, the little bird Yu Mayumi who had been silent all this time, suddenly exclaimed.

After being led by Sousuke Araki into the invisible door frame and came to this dark tunnel, she turned around and curiously studied the dilapidated "door frame" behind her.

This door seems to be an original door frame made of some kind of tree branches, with densely packed strange symbols engraved on it, even the little bird You Mayumi, who has studied various ancient books since childhood, has never seen it.

But at the very center of the top of the door frame was a familiar emblem with a clover in a circle.

"I remembered, this is the crest of the "Ki Tokugawa family"! "

Kotori Mayumi suddenly reacted.

Because of what happened last night, after she went back, she took some time to make up some historical materials about the Tokugawa family. The family crest was seen in the materials.

"Huh? The Kiy Tokugawa family... isn't that one of the 'Three Royal Houses' you mentioned earlier?"

Now when he hears words like "Tokugawa family" and "Gosan family", Araki Sousuke feels a headache.

The "Owari Tokugawa family" would dare to secretly do such insane things as living sacrifices, worship at the time of the ugly, and enshrining the dead body of Wu Yueji in their own manor...

It is estimated that this "Ki Tokugawa family" who is connected with each other will not be a kind person.
