Truth is everywhere within range

Exploring the secondary target location is very simple.

After seeing Nanase confirm the situation inside the house through a drone, Qiao Qiao did not choose to break in, but directly threw a flash shock bomb in.

This kind of flash shock bomb has almost no effect on ordinary comatose humans. It is just a large wake-up alarm clock.

But for the weirdos disguised as witches, this flash bomb was enough to flaw their disguises, and they were recognized by Qiao Qiao.

Um.

Because the process of carefully analyzing whether there is a real witch in the house or a weird disguised witch is too cumbersome and inefficient.

So Qiao Qiao directly took the action of going up first and talking later.

I think if the shrine maidens of Riki Shrine knew this, they would definitely understand.

Buzz——

A bright light bloomed in the room, followed by an explosion.

There were no buildings in the village with glass, but the already dilapidated paper door collapsed due to the sound.

"Uruz1, confirmed, it's weird."

Through the drone's camera lens, Hayami Nanase saw that the five lying miko's bodies stretched straight, jumped up like slingshots, and their bodies became distorted. There was no doubt that this was a weird disguise.

Since it is weird, Qiao Qiao has no problem.

"let's go."

At the order, the four people who were originally surrounding the room immediately began to move. Only Kitagawa Ryoko installed a shotgun blast on the wall before leaving.

Dong dong dong——

Amidst a series of explosions, Qiao Qiao and others walked away.

The drone was exploring the path ahead, and they moved towards the third target location.

Soon, he followed the same pattern, but discovered that the witches at the third target location were also transformed by weirdness.

This is very strange.

"Uruz4, check if there are any changes in the surrounding environment."

Qiao Qiao said on the radio.

He also looked around at the same time.

Along the way, they met many faceless samurai, and also eliminated the weird ones disguised as witches that appeared in the room. Even during the move, Kitagawa Ryoko pushed a faceless samurai into a house, and discovered that It was quickly swallowed up by the shadow.

From this, he came to a simple conclusion.

The faceless warrior cannot enter the house, and conversely, the weird things in the house will not escape from the house.

These two kinds of weirdness are quite distinct.

Therefore, Qiao Qiao deduced that there was at least a third kind of weirdness existing in this village.

I don’t know that Hachiman’s Forest and Mijia are different monsters. If these two monsters merge, they will either devour each other, or a third party will forcibly merge them together.

If they are devouring each other, then they will definitely acquire mutual characteristics, and they will not maintain their original characteristics like now, and even kill each other.

And if it's the second case, it's obviously difficult to deal with an existence that can fuse two kinds of weirdness on such a large scale.

Qiao Qiao's mission is to rescue the hostages, not to eliminate the weirdos.

But now, the whereabouts of the hostages have become a problem.

Looking up, the red moon in the sky is as bright as blood, exuding a coquettish light.

The flow of spiritual power accelerated faster and faster, forming a vortex like a huge eye over the village.

"Um?"

Qiao Qiao looked at the map on the pad and felt a little inconsistent.

Until just now, Qiao Qiao and the others had judged that these three places with abnormal spiritual power might be the locations for kidnapping witches, but now that all three have been proven not to be so, it can be considered that this may be a trap to delay time.

But a very important question is, is it necessary to set up a trap of this level in this village?

Unknown to Hachiman's Forest, the Mijia family prepared a long-term plan in Kyoto and kidnapped the shrine maiden in a grand place where they performed martial arts to remove spirits.

It can be said that if the witches from Qiaoqiao and Shimogamo Shrine hadn't just broken in, it would have been almost impossible for the spirit exterminators to find this village in a short time.

The evidence is that so far, only Qiao Qiao and his group have entered this fog.

Abandoning the element of luck, the spirit exterminator who can find this place is definitely not weak.

Then the trap disguised as a witch just now is not enough for the exorcists.

Therefore, Qiao Qiao changed his mind.

If this is not a trap.

The reason why there is a weird disguised as a witch, in addition to the characteristics of the Mi family itself, is the abnormality of spiritual power also the reason for this result?

Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao walked directly into the room next door.

There was a big hole in the ceiling of this room, and the crimson moonlight shone down, reflecting the desolate space inside.

Qiao Qiao's shadow suddenly moved.

Feeling a sense of restraint around his neck, Qiao Qiao shot at his own shadow without hesitation.

Bang——

The sense of restraint suddenly disappeared, and the shabby-looking cabin became slightly brighter.

"really."

Qiao Qiao walked out of the house.

In the distance, a faceless warrior noticed this side, but before he could move, he was hit in the head by Hashimoto Kotone in the distance and collapsed.

Ordinary fans will not change into the appearance of the shrine maiden of Riki Shrine.

Therefore, these three spiritual power anomalies are not caused by the presence of the shrine maiden of Limu Shrine.

Rather, it is an abnormal node itself.

Qiaoqiao asked Haruka Sasaki to take out a simple combat pad, call up the topographic map of the village on it, and then left the three buildings, and then lit up the positions of all the trees that had been moved here from the Tatsu no Mori. .

"This is?"

Even Kitagawa Ryoko, who didn't know much about weird knowledge, noticed something was wrong.

Trees and buildings form a complex figure.

If you connect all the points, you can see that a figure that completely breaks away from the rules of geometry is appearing on this piece of land.

The alien feeling it brings is like looking directly into the abyss.

"Hazama."

Qiao Qiao blurted out a noun.

Hazama is not so much a weirdo.

Rather, it is some kind of space.

Similar to the Kingdom of Gods and the Pure Land of Buddhism, there is also a realm between weirdness.

That is the narrow room.

There are big and small rooms.

The small one is just a house, the big one may be a city.

The existence of a narrow room is based on reality, and now it is composed of the trees of the Tsuzuki Forest and the houses of the Mijia. This is the art of creating a narrow room.

In other words.

I don’t know that Hachiman’s forest and the Mysterious House are just a deception.

The place where the shrine maidens of Riki Shrine were actually kidnapped was in this narrow room.

Realizing this, Qiao Qiao led the team to the giant tree closest to them.

In this technique, trees are the entrance to the narrow space, and houses are the exit.

Weird came into contact with the shrine maidens of Riki Shrine in the narrow room, and thus transformed into their appearance.

Therefore, if Qiao Qiao wanted to enter the narrow room, he had to pass through the trees.

He stretched out his hand towards the tree trunk, and after a ripple, his arm penetrated the bark of the tree directly.

Qiao Qiao continued to move forward. After feeling as cold as entering the water, he came to a new world.

There are no towering trees or abandoned villages around.

There is only a huge twisted building made of blue-gray marble, with patterns and sculptures that are really incomprehensible to the aesthetics of the earth. The whole world has no edges and is filled with a cold and chilling texture.

In the gray sky, a blood moon hung high.

Qiao Qiao saw that there was an altar in front of him, located in the center of the building complex.
