Truth is everywhere within range

After Qiao Qiao fired the shot, he regretted it.

It's all the blame on that resentful spirit just now.

The pose it put on was so good that Qiao Qiao couldn't help it.

He shot it casually.

The bullet's fragments passed through the woman's head.

Wherever it went, the spirit body evaporated directly, causing the half of its body that was leaning out of the TV to disappear in an instant.

Then, shrapnel hit the 77-inch TV, and the huge screen shattered.

If Qiao Qiao remembers correctly.

This TV costs about 1 million yen and up.

So heartbreaking.

However, since this is a wealthy villa, the TV should be insured, right?

He was thinking about this question and saw Ariko Asano frozen in place.

Oops.

Qiao Qiao had double regrets.

The main person handling this commission should be Asano Ariko, and she is just a follower.

At most, Qiao Qiao can take action only when Asano Ariko can't handle it.

By saying this just now, doesn't it mean that Asano Ariko can't deal with that resentful spirit?

Qiao Qiao thought.

Asano Ariko should be able to easily deal with the medium-sized wraith just now.

After all, compared to the evil spirit in the bakery last time, this time the evil spirit couldn't be any weaker.

Even Qiao Qiao was worried that his breathing would blow it away.

Exaggerated.

At least to the point of sneezing.

Seeing Ariko Asano with her eyes wide open, Qiao Qiao showed an embarrassed smile.

"Sorry, I should have let you take action."

Ariko Asano opened her mouth but stopped talking.

There are so many things to ask.

But compared to those, Asano Ariko is more important.

Just now, after seeing Qiao Qiao shoot off the female ghost's head, the clues swirling in her mind were finally clarified.

"Qiao Sang, I discovered something."

Ariko Asano spoke and took a look at the TV set that was blown to pieces by the moonlight.

"The security guard said before that this place is haunted at night, right? His description is that the resentful spirit has the face of Mr. Tetsuya Iguchi. All our investigations and speculations are also based on the direction that Mr. Tetsuya Iguchi was troubled by obsession and became a resentful spirit. ongoing."

"That's right."

Until just now, Qiao Qiao was thinking about how Jingguchi Tetsu became a wraith.

He thinks this is the crux of the matter.

While talking, Qiao Qiao tried to turn on the light.

However, I found that no matter how hard I pressed the switch, the light did not move at all.

He could only return to Ariko Asano.

"But, Qiao Sang, the resentful spirit you killed just now."

Ariko Asano considered the words for a moment and then continued.

"They are all women, right?"

Yes.

Resentful spirits, in the final analysis, are spirits entangled in obsession and resentment.

The spirit body itself will reflect the situation in life.

When the animal dies, the spirit body will take on the form of the animal.

After a person dies, the spirit body will still look like a human being.

The male spirit is in the form of a man, and the female spirit is in the form of a woman.

Suppose there is a male spirit wearing a skirt.

That could be because he's a crossdresser.

That's too far.

Even if it is tortured by resentment and its face is distorted, the resentful spirit will not have such essential changes.

Unless it's an evil spirit.

For example, the evil spirit in Happy Bakery.

He was completely unrecognizable.

Therefore, Mr. Tetsuo Iguchi’s ghost should still look like Mr. Tetsuo Iguchi.

The woman just now was obviously not the spirit of Mr. Tetsuya Iguchi.

Then here comes the problem.

who is she?

While thinking about this problem, Asano Ariko took out a telescopic bamboo pole from her bag.

The bamboo pole is about twenty centimeters long and has four white hanging strips of paper on it.

Qiao Qiao has learned that this is called a royal coin, and it is a prop used by witches to worship and ward off demons.

The name Yubi is actually an honorific, similar to Yushenti.

Because in the He Kingdom, the pronunciation of "paper" is the same as "god".

Therefore, pure white Japanese paper often has similar symbolic meanings in Shinto.

It has nothing to do with a company that grows potatoes.

The one in Asano Ariko's hand was obviously used to eliminate demons.

Some spiritual energy is condensed on it.

They are probably consumables.

Qiao Qiao thought.

Ariko Asano gently waved the royal coin in her hand.

The Japanese paper shook and made a rustling sound in the dim living room of the villa.

Although Ariko Asano is not wearing the red and white clothes of a miko, she has a sacred and solemn feeling.

Qiao Qiao even thought that the wind was blowing.

No, the wind did pick up.

In his field of vision, the flow of Yin Qi changed.

The Yin energy that originally lingered in this villa was concentrated near the TV due to the appearance of the evil spirit.

At this time, under the flick of Asano Ariko, it was beginning to become thinner.

As expected of the apprentice shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine, she has wonderful spirit-removing techniques.

Qiao Qiao sighed.

The intensity of the resentful spirit depends largely on the concentration of Yin Qi.

Qiao Qiao learned something during his short research career.

That is, spirits attract each other!

The birth of a resentful spirit requires Yin energy, and a resentful spirit of a certain intensity will convert itself and the surrounding spiritual energy into Yin energy, thereby making itself stronger.

Even absorbing a large amount of yin energy in a short period of time can temporarily strengthen the resentful spirit several times.

Wraiths that are too weak will have difficulty completing this process.

Its consumption speed will be much greater than the conversion speed.

It will only gradually die out.

Qiao Qiao has recently studied hundreds of resentful spirits and has almost been able to get a numerical value.

Wraiths whose intensity is below this value will gradually dissipate without external stimulation.

Wraiths whose strength is above this value will become stronger and stronger if not dealt with.

This value is defined by Qiao Qiao as the critical spiritual strength.

The process in which the resentful spirits continue to become stronger through the transformation of spiritual power is a chain reaction process of the resentful spirits.

Of course, Qiao Qiao did not feel that his research had come to an end.

He is also studying the relationship between the gender of the ghost, the age of death and other factors on this reaction process and the critical spiritual strength.

Life-long learning.

At this moment, Miko Asano's behavior is to channel the Yin Qi in the villa and reduce its concentration.

In this way, enemies that could originally be dealt with will not absorb Yin Qi and become stronger.

Wonderful.

Qiao Qiao doesn't have such skills.

I didn’t expect the results of my research for half a year.

Miko Asano mastered it easily.

As expected of the apprentice shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine.

Qiao Qiao thought.

At the same time, he also noticed another thing.

According to common sense, the resentful spirit in this villa has just been eliminated by Qiao Qiao.

But Miko Asano is now channeling the Yin Qi, obviously in preparation for exorcism.

This means that she thinks there are other ghosts in this villa.

Um.

Indeed, Qiao Qiao thought so too.

At least, if the security uncle didn't have hallucinations, Tetsu Iguchi's ghost should still be entrenched in this villa.

After channeling the Yin Qi, Asano Ariko took out a stack of white Japanese paper.

Place it in the four corners of the living room.

Then, he took out the Kagura bell.

This time it’s a serious Qiwu Sanling.

There are three bells on the first level, five bells on the second level, and seven bells on the third level.

After all, the Hokosen bell cannot be taken out at any time.

jingle--

A crisp bell rang, and four pieces of Japanese paper in the corner floated.

Qiao Qiao could sense that some kind of spiritual power was filling this space.

But it's quite thin, probably equivalent to a standard unit.

But even such a thin spiritual power.

It's enough to lure out resentful spirits.

To the resentful spirits, these pure spiritual powers scattered in the air are like the sweetest delicacies.

No.

Before Qiao Qiao opened his mouth, he saw the ceiling.

Above the exaggerated chandelier.

A guy with his head rotated ninety degrees, wearing a tattered T-shirt and jeans, was climbing like a spider.

Its head trembled and turned in the direction of Qiao Qiao.

"Huh?"

Qiao Qiao let out a light sigh.

Because that resentful spirit is also not Tetsuya Iguchi.

But another unknown woman.
