Kanagawa Taoist College Students

After sending away the troublesome Sawai Yuko, Li Xuehao went to the Sugimoto Building where Saburo Sugimoto worked based on the address sent by Chiba Sayuri.

It was not time to get off work at this time, and Sugimoto Saburo was probably still working. Li Xuehao regretted coming a little early. But now that we have come, it is naturally impossible to go back.

Chiba Sayuri also gave him Sugimoto Saburo's phone number yesterday, just in time to try calling.

I don’t know if Saburo Sugimoto didn’t answer personal calls during work, or if he didn’t hear them and called twice in a row, but no one answered.

In this case, Li Xuehao didn't force it, he was going to go up by himself.

Wearing a high school uniform, he stood out, but neither the front desk nor the security guard came forward to question him, allowing him to enter the building smoothly.

Although the elevator has been repaired and there is more than one elevator, Li Xuehao did not take it but took the corridor. He was not afraid that there would be a problem with the elevator. Even if there were a problem, it would not pose a threat to him. It was precisely because there was no problem with the elevator that he took the corridor.

From the moment he approached the Sugimoto Building, he had already faintly felt a dark and evil aura. It was different from the evil aura of a vampire, but with a putrid smell that made people want to cover their noses and stay away.

Ordinary people can't smell it, but for a practitioner like him, it's very clear.

According to Chiba Sayuri's description, since there are evil spirits, it is normal to have a putrid smell, but the clear rotten smell has not dissipated, but has been condensed in the Sugimoto Building. In other words, the evil spirits have never left and are hiding. Somewhere in the building.

This somewhere may be on any floor of the building, so you can conduct a "carpet-style" search floor by floor by walking down the corridor.

Of course, he doesn't need to actually visit every floor, he just needs to let go of his consciousness.

Starting from the bottom, Li Xuehao slowly climbed up the stairs.

There is no one in the corridor, and when there is an elevator, no one will bother to take the stairs. Moreover, the entire building is twenty or thirty stories high. It is not easy for ordinary people to climb up with just their legs.

Li Xuehao took a walk, going up floor by floor, until he reached the tenth floor, where the putrid smell became even stronger. But the evil spirit is not here. The reason why there is such a strong rancid smell is because it once stayed here, not long ago.

This gave Li Xuehao a feeling of "having broken through the iron shoes and finding nowhere". He just came to find this evil ghost, but he didn't expect that the evil ghost appeared at the right time.

He speeded up and noticed that there were traces of the evil ghost staying on every floor. He didn't know if it was just stopping on every floor or if it was looking for something.

Li Xuehao had a hunch that the evil ghost was targeting... No, it should be said that the mastermind behind the manipulation of the evil ghost must have some intention to target Saburo Sugimoto, and it was not to simply kill him. Because if it was just to kill Saburo Sugimoto, he wouldn't have stayed until now. With Saburo Sugimoto not even having a shikigami level as a half-bucket onmyoji, he didn't know how he died.

So it is inevitable that there is another purpose.

While thinking about it, Li Xuehao came to the 23rd floor, where the evil spirit's aura was strongest, and it was on this floor! This floor happens to be Saburo Sugimoto's office, and it obviously came to "chat" with Saburo Sugimoto again.

In this case, just go to Saburo Sugimoto's office.

Li Xuehao unfolded his consciousness and clearly located the location of Saburo Sugimoto. He stepped into the door with the words "Sugimoto Co., Ltd."

But as soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by someone. This was not the lobby downstairs, but a private office, so it was natural for him to be stopped by the front desk.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" The lady at the front desk is a young woman in her twenties, wearing very delicate makeup and a decent skirt. Even though she does not look very beautiful, under the makeup and makeup, Still gives people the feeling of a beautiful woman.

"I'm here to see Mr. Saburo Sugimoto." Li Xuehao naturally would not force his way in, so he said tactfully.

"Looking for the president?" The lady at the front desk was a little surprised, but she was very dedicated to her duties. "Sorry, do you have an appointment?"

"You just need to tell Mr. Sugimoto that my name is Koji Manaka." Li Xuehao said this not to be arrogant. He believed that Chiba Sayuri's fiancé was still worthy of meeting Saburo Sugimoto.

The front desk lady looked at him, obviously hesitating for a moment, but in the end, probably because she didn't look like he was lying, she said, "Then, please wait a moment." With that, she picked up the front desk phone and was about to make a call.

At this time, a woman walked out with a bag on her shoulder, and she seemed to be preparing to go back.

"Mrs. Sugimoto." Li Xuehao didn't expect such a coincidence. He recognized this woman as Sugimoto Saburo's wife, Sugimoto Tomokazu.

"Manaka-kun?" Sugimoto Yuwako, who was about to go out, was surprised. She looked at him in disbelief, and then looked behind him, "Did you come with Sayuri?" In her opinion, Sayuri also They came with them. After all, Manaka-kun was not familiar with them.

Seeing the familiar conversation between the two, the front desk lady who was about to make a call also put down the phone and looked at them with curiosity in her eyes.

"No, I'm the only one here." Li Xuehao shook his head and said.

Sugimoto Tomokazu was slightly stunned, but quickly recovered: "What's wrong, Manaka-kun?"

Li Xuehao has clearly sensed that the evil ghost is now beside Saburo Sugimoto, but Saburo Sugimoto is still unaware: "I'm looking for Mr. Sugimoto, can we go into his office to talk?"

Although Yuwako Sugimoto felt that it was a bit abrupt and rude for him to say such words, she still said politely: "Okay, please come with me."

Li Xuehao followed her in, passed through an office area with many employees, and came to an office door.

Sugimoto Tomokazu stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon Saburo Sugimoto's voice came from inside: "Please come in."

Sugimoto Yuwako walked in first, but out of courtesy, she made a gesture of invitation before doing so, and Li Xuehao followed her.

In the office, Saburo Sugimoto, who was sitting behind his desk, was looking at the door: "Tomokazu... Manaka-kun?" His last tone sounded surprised. He probably never expected that an unexpected person would come to visit.

"Mr. Sugimoto, I take the liberty of interrupting you." Li Xuehao said politely.

Saburo Sugimoto stood up from his seat as a courtesy and asked, "Did Manaka-kun come with Sayuri?" Obviously, he had the same idea as his wife.

"Manaka-kun came alone." Sugimoto Tomokazu said next to him.

"Oh?" Saburo Sugimoto was even more surprised and confused.

"Mr. Sugimoto, although it's a little rude, can you please go out first?" Li Xuehao asked lightly, but his eyes were looking behind Saburo Sugimoto's desk. Ordinary people would even say that onmyojis with insufficient training would not be able to see that. The existence of evil spirits was clear to him.

Behind the desk, stood a shadowy figure. The shadow had the shape of a human, but was nearly three meters tall. It had a ferocious face, sharp fangs, and double horns on its head. It was exactly as described by Chiba Sayuri. This was An evil spirit.
