Truth is everywhere within range

"How is this possible?"

The teacher was a woman. Because she wore light makeup, her age could not be seen, only that she was younger.

When she saw the empty appearance, she immediately panicked.

"No, I clearly confirmed it yesterday, and it's right here."

Seeing her appearance, Qiao Qiao probably had some guesses.

In the spiritual vision, this warehouse is ordinary.

It's just that there is a lot of Yin Qi left where the skeleton model was originally placed.

Obviously, if the teacher did not lie, the mannequin skeleton was indeed stored in this warehouse as of yesterday.

So now, the disappearance of the human model skeleton must be a weird influence.

"Teacher Yamada, please don't panic. First contact the teachers and school staff in charge here to see if anyone has touched the mannequin."

Fujiwara Ayano comforted the teacher.

Her spiritual vision also opened at the same time, and she saw the remaining Yin Qi.

"There's a problem."

Kotokui Masato had also confirmed this before, and he turned his attention to the campus.

The one who was responsible for removing spirits a week ago was an onmyoji from Nagoya Onmyoryo. He was a veteran with six years of experience and had confirmed that there was no problem.

Kotokui Masato is still very confident about Onmyoji's spirit-removing techniques.

Did a second weird thing appear in this short period of time?

Or is there something weird about the evil spirit?

While he was thinking, a slender pipe fox appeared next to him.

The pipe fox swam in mid-air and quickly came to the location where the Yin Qi remained. After sniffing the scent, it returned to Masato Kotokui.

"go."

At the master's command, Guan Hu flew out like an arrow and disappeared between the walls.

so hot.

Qiao Qiao sighed inwardly.

This kind of manipulative shikigami, a leisurely and beautiful boy with a Japanese style, is indeed very fashionable.

"It seems there is something strange about this."

Fujiwara Ayano adjusted her glasses and looked at her companions.

"However, this is too much of a coincidence."

Kotoku Masato touched his chin.

This doesn't just mean that nothing happened the day before their arrival, but includes previous events at the aquarium.

Originally, the mission Asano Ariko and others received should be the easiest and safest.

However, I encountered a seal that awakened its spiritual consciousness in the aquarium, and now, in high school, I encountered an evil spirit that was resurrected from the dead, uh, came back from hell.

No matter how you look at it, it's a coincidence.

In the weird world, coincidences are not a good thing.

Kotokui Masato took out a coin from his pocket.

Zheng——

The coin was thrown up and landed on the back of Masato Kotokui's hand.

"Hiss, it seems the evil spirit is still in this school."

He thought for a while and said.

This series of actions made Qiao Qiao very curious.

"Is this the legendary divination?"

"That's right, divination in onmyoji is the most powerful of all the spirit-removing arts."

Kotokui Masato said quite proudly.

"It is said that Abe Seimei can judge life and death with a single word and predict everything that will happen within a few years. Historically, Onmyo Ryo has also had many geniuses with excellent divination abilities."

Kotokui Masato didn't mention the squatter at home, but everyone knew him anyway.

"But isn't Onmyoji a traditional technique of Japan? Why is it a coin toss?"

Qiao Qiao asked again.

There's always a Western feel to the coin toss.

He originally thought that Yin Yang magic would use things like fortune tellers and tortoise shells for divination.

"Onmyoji is also advancing with the times. Coins are just the simplest props for divination. In Tokyo Onmyoya, there are also people who use computers for divination."

Kotokui Masato smiled.

"However, Abe Seimei also once said to the onmyoji of the younger generation not to rely too much on divination. Those who try to control their destiny will eventually be counterattacked by fate."

Why does this sound so modern?

Qiao Qiao raised his eyebrows.

On second thought, maybe this is the true nature of the magic stick.

However, since divination is used, is it also okay to use psychics?

Qiao Qiao thought and looked into the warehouse.

Buzz——

Time came yesterday.

Late at night.

The human skeleton model is still placed here, motionless.

At zero point, some kind of [change] occurred.

Qiao Qiao clearly saw that the skeleton model suddenly seemed to be alive, struggling to stand up.

Its whole body was wrapped with strong Yin Qi, which formed tentacle-like things and spread to all sides.

After looking around, the skeleton model opened the door and left the warehouse.

So much for channeling.

Well, indeed, that human skeleton must have been possessed by an evil spirit.

As for whether it was the same one as before, Qiao Qiao didn't have enough information to compare.

But the appearance of this evil spirit made Qiao Qiao think of another one.

That's the evil spirit from Happy Bakery.

At that time, Qiao Qiao carefully checked three times before discovering the hidden remnants of the evil spirit.

At first, Qiao Qiao thought this was just a special case.

But now, in comparison, after being purified by a senior exorcist, the evil spirit resurrected for a period of time, maybe it is a new variant?

Reminiscent of the Kamaitachi incident and several monster cases that were subsequently uncovered, they all seem to be creating wraiths all over Tokyo in order to collect Yin Qi.

Do the events in Tokyo and the events in Nagoya have anything in common?

While Qiao Qiao was thinking, Guan Hu had returned to Masato Kotokui.

"found it."

Kotokui Masato listened to the chirping of the fox and didn't know what it was calling, so he nodded.

So fast?

Qiao Qiao was a little surprised.

Originally, he thought that he would go through a difficult and confusing search, and finally the location of the human skeleton model could be determined through investigation and visits.

Isn’t that how it’s usually written in novels?

This shikigami seems a bit convenient.

I don’t know if the technology of Yin Yang Liao can be passed on to other people.

Speaking of which, many shikigami are transformed from monsters. Can a monster like Suzuka be transformed into a shikigami?

Qiao Qiao's thinking is divergent.

"In the old sports warehouse."

Kotokui Masato glanced at the playground. Another class had begun, and it seemed that a class was conducting a physical education test.

"Let those students avoid it first."

Fujiwara Ayano said to the teacher.

After the students were sent back to the classroom, several people, accompanied by the vice principal Mr. Misawa, came to the old sports warehouse on the side of the playground.

This school has a long history and was founded during the Taisho period.

In other words, there were once girls wearing kimono and leather boots running on this playground.

The teaching building has been renovated several times, but this old sports warehouse has not been renovated and it still maintains the flavor of the Taisho period.

At first it was because it was solid, but later on it kept missing the opportunity for renovation, and it became difficult to handle.

Today, the function of the warehouse has been replaced by a new sports warehouse, and the old sports warehouse only survives as a historical and cultural marker.

Naturally, there are no short stories about sports warehouses or the like that often appear in Qiao Qiao's learning materials.

At Nagoya Women's University, there have been a lot of strange stories about the old sports warehouse in the past two years.

There was a girl who was locked in an old warehouse. No one heard her cry for help. She eventually starved to death. When she was found, her body was already smelling.

A story about a girl who hid a boy for a tryst in an old warehouse, but was locked up by an unknowing administrator and trapped for a month. In the end, the two of them killed each other.

There are countless legends like this.

When Qiao Qiao came to the old warehouse, he didn't see any yin energy.

The old buildings exude the atmosphere of the times, but there is nothing evil about them.

It is said that if an item is left alone for a hundred years, it will turn into a monster like Fusangshen. If you think about it carefully, it is almost a hundred years since the Taisho period, right?

Qiao Qiao suddenly understood why the evil spirit chose the old sports warehouse as a hiding place.

No one usually comes here, and it hardly attracts anyone's attention. The evil spirits don't need to drink water or eat. As long as they stay here quietly, no one will notice.

More importantly, things with a long history like the old sports warehouse will be more or less contaminated with and accumulate a certain amount of spiritual power. Before the old sports warehouse was born with spiritual consciousness and became a fusangshen, these spiritual powers were very important to evil spirits. It is the best nutrition.

If Qiao Qiao is an evil spirit.

If Qiao Qiao thought from the perspective of an evil spirit, he would definitely choose such a spiritual place to recuperate after being purified by a spirit exterminator and weak and resurrected.

Fujiwara Ayano and Asano Ariko quickly set up a barrier around the sports warehouse to prevent evil spirits from escaping.

Kotokui Masato is about to summon the shikigami to check the situation.

Qiao Qiao raised his hand.

"I have a plan."
