In a quiet room on the third floor, the walls are covered with talismans written in strange characters.
There were two mirrors placed in front of Kamo Maki. One mirror showed the scene in the main hall on the first floor of the church, where those who had been let down were gathered, with nearly two thousand people crowded together.
The other mirror showed the scene in the lobby on the second floor, where all the cheaters targeted by the witch were gathered. According to statistics from the East Police Department, there were a total of 998 people here.
"How do you plan to resolve the resentment of those who have been let down?"
Under Maki Kamo's feet, the white fox squatted quietly, his eyes wandering back and forth between the two mirrors, "Are you planning to let them forget that memory?"
"Forgetting can never eliminate hatred. It is just letting go. It is a last resort choice when hatred cannot be repaid for some reasons."
Maki Kamo's face was as dark as water, "What we have to do now is to let them let go of their resentment from the bottom of their hearts."
White Fox: "This is too difficult. Could it be that you want to conduct a large-scale hypnosis ritual?"
"It's much more difficult than hypnosis, and hypnosis can't solve the underlying problem,"
Kamo Maki said: "You will know later."
"Dong dong dong~"
There was a knock on the door.
"Master Kamo said,"
The white fox said to the door: "No one can disturb him today, have you forgotten?"
"The last two victims have been found," the voice of the East Police Department investigator in charge of the Headless Witch incident came from outside the door, "Do you want to meet Master Kamo?"
White Fox: "The victim will be taken to the second-floor hall, and the betrayed will be taken to the first-floor hall. The master has already settled in. Do we need to provide special treatment if he comes late?"
"The problem is,"
The voice of another investigator writer sounded outside the door, "These two victims swear that they have never betrayed anyone in their lives."
White Fox: "They didn't lie?"
Survivor: "We used the most advanced lie detector. Besides, they have no reason to lie, right?"
The writer on the side added: "After all, they are the ones who will be killed by the witch soon."
White Fox: "The ceremony is approaching, and any changes may affect the final result."
Living Man: “You mean, they have no choice but to consider themselves unlucky?
White Fox: "Fate is so unpredictable."
The living person: "But if, because of an accident between the two of them, something goes wrong in this ritual..."
White Fox: "That's also fate."
Living Man: "Is this what Master Kamo meant?"
White Fox: "The master is in this room, he can hear our conversation."
"very good,"
The writer leaned against the wall next to the door, lit the cigarette in his hand,
"Ask the master if he knows that one of these two people has eternally mastered the power of weird rules - because... he passed the test of the weird reincarnation."
"oh?"
Kamo Maki's surprised voice came from the door, "Bring him to see me."
…
St. Mary's Cathedral, first floor of the main hall, in the side aisle.
Gu Xing and Tanikawa Kaoru stood by the side door of the corridor leading to the hall, waiting for the result of the communication between the living person, the writer, and Kamo Maki.
Not far away, Makoto Karasawa, the heroine of Naya Agency's latest movie "Fatal Affair", was posing in a devout prayer pose under the gaze of Nobuhiko Kumada's camera.
Around her, members of the grotesque film crew were busy setting up lights, arranging props...
"Hey, Detective Hirokawa,"
Tanichuan Xun suddenly looked at Gu Xing, "Tell me, we two have never let anyone down, why are we so unlucky to be involved?"
Gu Xing was observing the crowd in the hall through the crack in the door, "If I didn't want to know the reason, I probably wouldn't have come here."
Tanichuan Kaoru: "Aren't you here seeking police protection?"
"police?"
Gu Xing looked at the police who were waiting in the main hall and said: "They can't protect me, I have to rely on myself."
"Ha ha……"
Tanichuan Xun once thought that Gu Xing was showing off his humor, but soon discovered that the look on his face was serious, and he realized that he really thought so.
"Okay, Tangze told me that you have some special abilities that are very powerful - how did you meet her?"
Gu Xing: "Karasawa Makoto?"
Tanichuan Kaoru: "Yes."
Gu Xing: "She invited me to help her investigate a weird incident."
Tanigawa Kaoru: "I've heard that - but I'm curious, is the relationship between the two of you really just an employer and a bodyguard?"
Gu Xing: "It's the employer and the detective."
Tanichuan Kaoru: "You don't like her at all?"
Gu Xing: "This question is really baffling."
Tanichuan Kaoru: "But, I can clearly see that Sister Tang Ze has a little bit of a crush on you."
Gu Xing: "A nationally renowned star falls in love with a strange detective - only movie scripts can do this, and it's a vulgar script."
Tanigawa Kaoru: "You have to trust a woman's intuition."
Gu Xing: "Many things fail because of women's intuition."
"You have such a venomous tongue,"
Tanichuan Kaoru smiled and said: "What if, I mean what if she really likes you? Is it possible for you two?"
Gu Xing: "I have someone I like."
Tanichuan Kaoru: "You two are together?"
Gu Xing said with a cold face: "No comment."
Kaoru Tanichuan: "You mean, it's impossible for you and Sister Karasawa?"
Gu Xing: "Yeah."
Tanigawa Kaoru: "Don't be too harsh - the fate between people is very wonderful... Some people are vowing to be in love with their lovers one second, and they will fall into the arms of others the next moment."
Gu Xing pointed to the location above his head in the lobby on the second floor, "Those people are upstairs."
Tanichuan Kaoru: "Don't pick yourself out, otherwise why would you be here?"
Gu Xing: "I'm here to solve this question - but it's you. Are you here to be a vulgar paparazzi, or do you want to save your own life?"
Tanigawa Kaoru: "I choose to believe the police, they can deal with those monsters."
"The police," Gu Xing smiled, "even they may not believe themselves."
"Detective Hirokawa, Miss Tanikawa Kaoru,"
The assistant of the living person hurried over from the direction of the stairs, "Master Kamo, please come to his room as soon as possible!"
…
When walking up the stairs to the third floor, Tanichuan Xun kept staring at Gu Xing from the side.
Gu Xing didn't care at all, he was only thinking about one question in his mind -
Why did the plucked-headed witch target him?
He really never betrayed the Son.
Perhaps, the answer will be revealed soon.
There were only the slightly hasty footsteps of him and Kaoru Tanikawa in the corridor. His heartbeat was not fast, and he was not nervous at all, as if he was ready to accept any possible answer.
The two of them came together to the door of Kamo Maki's room.
Writers, living people, and Kasuga are waiting there.
Gu Xing asked: "Shall we go in together?"
"About that,"
The writer pointed to the inside of the door, "It doesn't matter what we said."
The living person and Haruhi nodded together.
Gu Xing faced the door and said, "Hello, do you need the two of us to come in together?"
A child's voice came from the door, "Master Kamo, please ask Detective Hirokawa to come in first."
The voice fell, the door slowly opened, and the room was a little dark.
All eyes were focused on Gu Xing.
Gu Xing walked straight in without looking at anyone.
Then, the door closed.
In the darkness, he saw that the surrounding walls were covered with yellow, white, palm-sized talismans.
In the center of the room, a female onmyoji wearing a tall black hat held a newly lit talisman in her hand, and the flames slowly slid down in the air.
When the flames went out, an illusory young woman's face suddenly appeared in mid-air. She was fair and beautiful, with a gentle expression and eyes.
Gu Xing gradually saw the woman's appearance clearly, and called out her name in surprise: "Karasawa Makoto?"
"It's incredible,"
The Onmyoji said: "The reason why you were targeted by the Headless Witch is Miss Karasawa Makoto."
