The mountain is not high.

There is a path paved with stone slabs that leads Kiryu upward.

When we reached the top of the mountain, we found a dilapidated temple house.

The shabby temple decoration is in disrepair and has holes everywhere.

From a distance, using the moonlight, I could see red talismans on the windows and doors of the temple house.

You can also see embarrassed figures huddled in the temple house.

"Who's in there?"

"Who are you!" The door was knocked from the inside, and a frightened face looked out from the hole in the door.

His thick beard and messy hair make him look like a wild man.

"A... woodcutter." Kiryu pointed to the hatchet on his waist and said, "Can you please open the door? I want to go in and find a pot."

"No! There's one day left, only one day left!" The people inside shook their heads vigorously: "No!"

"Ah?"

"I am avoiding the pursuit of evil spirits," the person inside said: "Although... it is also my fault, but there is only tonight left, after dawn..."

"But I was asked to get the pot before dawn."

Kiryu suddenly thought about the strange woman he met in the village, and asked, "Is that evil spirit a woman?"

"Yes, that is my wife..." The voice of the person inside was frightened, with deep regret: "I am the son of a businessman, and I am planning to get married to a woman Isora. According to custom, we need to go through the divine pot divination."

"This pot actually exists," Kiryu was surprised.

He had long noticed that there was something fishy here, but he was not just going to sit idly by when something got entangled with him. According to Kirisaki Suimei's folklore research report, evil spirits had the characteristic of entangling people.

The other party must be using his hand, so he must be afraid of something. Kiryu looked at the red charms posted all over the window, and he already had the answer in his heart.

"The sacred pot did not make any sound during the divination..." The man nodded: "But I am not a person who believes in ghosts and gods, so I insisted on marrying Isora. Issara is a good wife. After she got married, she was filial to her parents-in-law and worked hard to take care of her.

I had a family business, but I fell in love with another woman, Achun. I admit that I was a very badass at that time. I never went home and only wanted to be with Achun. I would only go home to get money when I was short of money...

steal."

The second half of the sentence is an adjective he changed after being silent for a while.

"But one day, I found that Achun was missing. At that time, I thought that she had changed her mind and ran away with another man. Facing the kind-hearted Isora, I finally chose to go home and start a normal working life. In fact, my life was considered happy.

normal."

"Unexpectedly, one day I met Achun again. She had become a prostitute. After careful questioning, I found out that it was Isora who forced Achun away. I was very angry about this and came up with a revenge plan.

Isora’s method.”

"What method?" Kiryu asked.

"I told Isora that I met Achun unexpectedly and that she was very pitiful. I hope Isora can help steal a sum of money from the family and give it to Achun so that Achun can return to the countryside. I also promise that I will never have sex with Achun again.

There was a connection, so Isora believed in me, but she didn't know that Achun and I planned to take the money and fly away."

"Tsk, tsk" Kiryu couldn't comment on the other party's behavior.

"Who knew that Isora turned into an evil spirit because of love and hatred? She killed Achun and was not going to let me go." The man was a little scared: "I met a great mage. He said that as long as I am in this room

If I persist for 49 days, I can save my life. From that day on, Isora kept appearing and trying to kill me... but they were all blocked by the spell."

The man exposed his arm, which was covered with dense blood marks made by a knife. This was his crude way of calculating dates!

"Today is the last day. As long as I wait until the sun rises, I can survive... I have sworn that I will become a monk after dawn and chant sutras every day in the hope that I will be able to transcend Isora as soon as possible."

"The time now is probably..." Kiryu was about to take a look at his phone, but suddenly remembered that the time in the two worlds was different.

"Anyway, come on, your life is more important than that little money." Kiryu turned around and left in a very bachelor manner, and he did not want to get involved.

Either the man survives, or the female evil spirit succeeds in revenge, but in short, don't cause trouble for yourself.

Just walked down the steps.

"Isora, Isora!" A scream suddenly came from behind. Kiryu pinched the demon-repelling talisman and turned his head sharply. Not far away from him, a woman with a rotten face but wearing that familiar kimono stood.

Outside the house.

She tilted her head and glanced at Kiryu, fearfully looking at the demon-repelling talisman in Kiryu's hand.

Because of this evil talisman, she gave up the idea of ​​punishing Kiryu. She accepted the evil spirit's money but did nothing. No one can escape the evil spirit's punishment.

The terrifying demon-repelling talisman, like the scorching sun, made Isora extremely afraid.

"I said"

Kiryu relied on the demon-repelling talisman and did not turn around to leave. The female evil spirit named Isora was not very strong, and the oppressive force on her body was not even comparable to the previous female evil spirit in Morishita Residence.

"As a woman, you must have self-respect and self-love. Women can hold up half of the sky. If you don't have a man to love you, then you should love yourself. Why should you seek life and death for a scumbag?"

But Isora just said: "Don't meddle in other people's business!"

The man in the temple house did not hear the conversation between Kiryu and Isora, and just leaned on the door blankly.

Isora waved to the temple.

"Its daybreak!"

A man's voice came from the temple room: "Hahaha, I finally persisted until the end, daybreak! I survived!"

Kiryu frowned and looked up at the sky.

The moon is still hanging overhead. The time now is about 12 o'clock at night, and there are at least five hours before dawn.

He looked at the female evil spirit Isora, only to find that Isora's figure had disappeared before his eyes.

Stab——

The man couldn't wait to reach out and tear off the charm attached to the window.

Then, everything went quiet.

The moon happens to be obscured by a cloud

The night became pitch black again.

"dress up!"

Kiryu dressed up as a Zashiki-dōji and transformed into a Zashiki-dōji wearing a bellyband.

"Eliminate evil!"

The demonic air burned and turned into flames. The fire burned and reflected Kiryu's young face green.

The plump little face of about three years old was full of solemnity at this moment.

The darkness in front of his eyes was expelled by the demonic fire, and Kiryu's eyes regained light. He walked on his short legs and walked towards the open door of the temple.

"Clang, choke, clang, clang..."

A burst of noisy movement came from the temple house.

There was no man in the temple house, but there was a pot, and the noisy noise came from the pot.

"Qiang!"

The pot shook violently.

The soup spread out, and a human head emerged from the water. It belonged to the man just now.

Isora's voice came from behind: "Listen, the divine pot is also celebrating. It's a good luck."
