Truth is everywhere within range

"Here, please. Our house was left over from the Pacific War. At that time, it was still used by senior military officials."

Boss Cheng spoke in Japanese while helping Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko's suitcases move into the room.

As Boss Cheng said before, this room is indeed very big.

It was probably renovated from a large room in the villa. In addition to a bed that was soft and huge enough for Asano Ariko to sink into, there were also living facilities including a refrigerator, a simple kitchen counter, and more.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is a small swimming pool and garden, and walking outside is a beach.

It can be called very luxurious.

The price for one night was more than 100,000 yen. Normally, Qiao Qiao would never have even looked at it.

Fortunately, there is reimbursement from the Kyoto Spiritual Exorcist Association.

he sighed.

Boss Cheng went to help move the bed and left the room. Only Qiao Qiao and Asano Ariko were left here.

"Wow, it actually has a swimming pool and a private beach. It's so luxurious."

Ariko Asano came to the yard and felt the breeze from the sea.

"Um."

Qiao Qiao responded, put his backpack on the table, and then took out some things from it.

"This is?"

Asano Ariko looked at what Qiao Qiao put on the table, and it seemed a little familiar.

"This is a measure to prevent someone from intruding in the middle of the night. Because it is inconvenient to carry a lot of things on the plane, we can only use a simplified version with less power."

As he spoke, Qiao Qiao seriously began to lay traps in some places in the yard.

"Generally speaking, the security here should be pretty good, right?"

Ariko Asano looked at Qiao Qiao's focused look and was too embarrassed to stop him.

Moreover, in a certain sense, most of Qiao Qiao's seemingly unnecessary actions are done wrongly.

For example, when he was at Atsuta Shrine before, the traps he laid effectively blocked Anaconda's actions and bought time for subsequent support.

So Ariko Asano carefully memorized the locations of these traps to prevent accidental triggering.

After more than ten minutes, Boss Cheng and his wife helped arrange a new bed.

"Due to the location, we can only put up a small bed, but it should be fine?"

Boss Cheng looked at the two of them and thought that they would only use one bed in the end.

As a hotel owner, he has seen this kind of plot that was still raw when he came, but was already stuck together when he left.

"Good work."

Qiao Qiao thanked him.

"By the way, our daughter, Sakura, is just about to go to elementary school this year, so she is not very sensible. She likes to run around in the hotel. She picked up a cat last year and made her even more playful. If there is anything that disturbs you, , please feel free to tell me.”

Boss Cheng added another sentence before leaving the room.

"Teacher, do you have any plans for the afternoon? I want to go to the black beach!"

Ariko Asano said that Black Beach, as the name suggests, is a black beach. The sand there is almost all black. It is a famous tourist attraction in Hawaii. She had been paying attention to it when she read the travel brochure.

"Well, let's go there, I happen to be interested."

Qiao Qiao nodded.

At the same time, he silently put the assembled revolver into his backpack.

"Um?"

Feeling that there seemed to be some kind of eyes staring at him, Qiao Qiao raised his head and looked around.

Only the silhouette of a cat was seen, nimbly leaving the fence.

Hawaii's black sand beach is located in the southeastern part of Ka'u Coast, about a twenty-minute drive from the hotel.

After having a lunch with Hawaiian island style, the two took a car to the black sand beach.

"It's really all black."

Ariko Asano put on summer-style hot pants and a printed T-shirt, with small earrings with strawberry patterns dangling from her ears. She carried a small bag, took off her sandals, and tried to step barefoot on the beach. She thought It will be very rough, but what I didn't expect was a delicate and soft touch.

"I heard that there is a curse on the sand here. If you take it home casually, you may encounter misfortune."

She leaned down and gently picked up a handful of sand.

"Wow, it's a turtle, teacher, teacher, look at it, it's so big."

In the distance, at the junction of the beach and the sea, there are several large sea turtles lazily basking in the sun. Even if there are tourists walking nearby, they don't seem to care at all.

"Speaking of black sand beaches, it is actually related to volcanic eruptions."

Qiao Qiao was unmoved and looked at Ariko Asano who was playing and said.

"The lava was cooled by seawater and fell apart because it could not withstand the tension of the internal steam. It was then polished by seawater over time to form such fragments. Well, if I remember correctly, the composition of these gravels should be iron tetroxide. Normally, In this case, it does appear black."

"Is that so?"

Asano Ariko was stunned and looked at the gravel in her hand.

"As for the curse, it is probably just a lie fabricated by the local tourism department. After all, the time it took to form such gravel may take tens of millions of years. If every tourist comes to take away a bottle as a souvenir, it won't be long before this black beach It will cease to exist.”

Qiao Qiao walked to the warning sign.

The warning sign states that the gravel cannot be removed and the turtles cannot be approached.

The black sand beach seems to be a wildlife sanctuary. Almost all tourists here stay for a short time and are not as playful as other beaches.

He squatted down.

Less than ten meters away from him, a turtle suddenly opened its eyes.

"Hello, I am an acquaintance of the owner of the Late Night Canteen. He asked me to say hello to you."

Qiao Qiao said to the turtle.

"?"

The turtle stirred.

Its gaze scanned the surrounding area, and after confirming that there were no other tourists, it slowly moved towards Qiaoqiao.

"You mean, the late-night cafeteria?"

The turtle's voice was very old, but still energetic.

"Yes, he said that thanks to your care when he was young, it is a pity that he has not had the chance to see you again for so many years."

Qiao Qiao said.

To others, it seemed like he was teasing the turtle.

There are many such scenes on this black beach.

"Since it's a late-night cafeteria, there must be that one."

One person and one turtle chatted for a few more words, and the turtle's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Well, he asked me to bring him here."

Qiao Qiao said, taking out two crystal clear stones that were as round as jade from his backpack.

He tossed it gently, and before the stone hit the ground, it was attracted by some force and fell into the sea turtle's mouth.

"Yeah, yeah, I didn't expect it still tastes so good after all these years."

The turtle chews it carefully and swallows it.

This is a spiritual stone that has been nourished by the spiritual power of the shrine. Although it is not as good as similar items made with special methods, it is still a very rare and nourishing thing for monsters.

"That guy really has a good apprentice."

Turtle looked Qiao Qiao up and down, feeling quite emotional.

"If you run into any trouble here, just come to me. I'll be here basking in the sun most of the time."

Turtle spoke again.

"Hawaii has not been peaceful recently, so you soul slayers had better be careful."

"I see."

Qiao Qiao watched the turtle return to his own kind and turn over into the sea. There was no trace of a monster with a lifespan of more than eight hundred years.

"Miko Asano, we are next."

Qiao Qiao turned around and wanted to ask Asano Ariko's future intentions.

But I found out, I don’t know when.

Ariko Asano is missing.
