In the afternoon, the time is approaching five o'clock.
In the courtyard of the Takeda family, a middle-aged man stood in front of Shu Yunwen and others who were visiting, and said with a smile:
"...Haha, I see. You are saying that you are an exorcist and the girl next to you is a witch. She came to our house to investigate the Spider Fairy, right? But this is just a legend. You guys
Why do you still take it seriously?"
"...Well, we don't have any Spider Fairy here at all. So, except for Mr. Spirit Master and Miss Witch, please go back and forth from where you are!"
The middle-aged man spoke and waved his hands with a funny look on his face - from the look on his face, he obviously regarded Shu Yunwen and the others as middle-aged teenagers who played cosplay and took risks.
Shu Yunwen looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, turned to look at the puppet warehouse in the yard, and said with a smile:
"...You are Mr. Long Er, right? The Spider Fairy is not fake, but a real one. If I guess correctly, that warehouse over there is the ancestral hall originally dedicated to the Spider Fairy, right?"
When walking into the yard, Shu Yunwen glanced around with his [Yin Yang Eyes]. Only under the warehouse, there was a demonic aura...
Listening to Shu Yunwen's words, Takeda Ryuuji was slightly stunned, and then said: "... Where the ancestral hall dedicated to the Spider Immortal is originally located, everyone in Spider Ridge Village knows it, so there is no need to guess? Young man, if you want to
If you use this method to convince me that you have spiritual power, it won't work..."
"...Well, I'm sorry, I really don't have the time in the United States to spend time with you here. We will have guests visiting our home soon, so you should leave as soon as possible!"
After finishing speaking, Takeda Ryu turned around and walked towards the room.
Shu Yunwen curled his lips, then turned to look at Takeda Misa: "...Miss Misa, how about you show up in person and make Mr. Ryuji believe it?"
Misa Takeda shook her head awkwardly - she had said before that she didn't want others to know her existence.
Koizumi Hongzi said casually: "...Forget it, there is no need to go to so much trouble. Even without the owner's permission, we still have plenty of ways to investigate..."
"Yeah...that's right." Shu Yunwen nodded——
In other words, he and Koizumi Anko are a ghost wizard and a witch. It is really easy to avoid people's eyes and ears to investigate these things.
If nothing else, Shu Yunwen's own [Illusion] can easily handle it.
Shu Yunwen and Koizumi Hongzi were discussing. Suddenly, the door of the Japanese-style room next to them opened, and then a short old lady with age spots on her face came out: "...Long Er, I also think Spider Fairy is
It really exists. If you disrespect the Spider Fairy, you might be punished by God..."
After the old lady finished speaking, Shu Yunwen and others turned to look over. Takeda Ryuuji also stopped and said in surprise: "Mom, why are you coming out too?"
"It's nothing, I just heard someone discussing the matter of Lord Spider Fairy, so I just came out to take a look..." The old lady turned to look at Shu Yunwen and the others, "...Are you exorcists and witches from Tokyo? It looks like
So young..."
"Uh... hello, old lady." Shu Yunwen and others greeted, and at the same time turned to look at Takeda Misa, who immediately introduced: "...she is my grandma, Chie..."
The old lady looked a little depressed. After a few simple polite words, she said softly:
"...You guys want to investigate the Spider Fairy thing, right? As an old woman, I happen to be free, so why don't you just let me accompany you... Long Er, won't there be customers coming to your door soon? You can go about your business.
…”
"Uh...Okay." Takeda Ryuuji nodded, then frowned at Shu Yunwen and others, and quickly walked into the room——
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't believe that Shu Yunwen and the others were spiritual slayers and witches, but since it was his mother who had spoken, he couldn't disobey her...
Takeda Ryuuji entered the room. The old lady clasped her hands behind her back, walked slowly to Shu Yunwen and others, and asked: "...young people, what do you want to see?"
Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the puppet warehouse and said: "...just go to that warehouse and have a look..."
"Okay, come with me." The old lady led everyone, walked to the warehouse, opened the door, walked straight to a statue in the hall on the first floor of the warehouse, and worshiped:
"...This was originally the ancestral hall of the Spider Fairy. That kid, Nobuichi, didn't listen to his advice. He demolished the ancestral hall six years ago and built this puppet warehouse. Three years after the warehouse was built, there was retribution. My granddaughter Mesa
, my daughter-in-law Kinuyo hanged herself in this warehouse..."
The old lady was talking nonchalantly, while Shu Yunwen and Koizumi Anko were looking around, and at the same time asked Narumi and Akemi to search underground to find the statue that Takeda Misa mentioned.
Not long after, Cheng Shi's voice came directly into Shu Yunwen's mind: "Master Yunwen, the statue of the Spider Fairy is two meters down here... In addition, about five or six meters down here,
There seems to be a big wooden box..."
"Big box?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, "What kind of big box?"
"...It's just a cube-like box, with a length, width and height of a little over two meters...By the way, this box should be from a long time ago, and more than half of it is broken..." Cheng Shi continued, Shu Yunwen
Already turned to look at Koizumi Hongzi:
"...Koizumi-san, Narumi, Akemi and the others have discovered something. Can you please use a crystal ball to see it?"
"Okay." Koizumi Anko agreed immediately, then took out the crystal ball from her skirt, chanted the magic spell in her mouth, and pictures began to appear on the crystal ball.
Old Mrs. Zhihui stood aside silently, her face as old as tree bark trembled twice, but she didn't say a word.
The picture on the crystal ball kept moving. First, we saw the entire statue of the Spider Fairy, and then the box that Cheng Shi said.
The box is indeed made of wood, and more than half of it has been broken into pieces, with the debris mixed in the soil. However, if you look closely, you can still vaguely see that there seems to be some strange ashes inside the box.
Shu Yunwen and Koizumi Hongzi looked at each other, then turned to look at old Mrs. Chihui and said, "Old lady, when you demolished the ancestral hall and rebuilt it, did you find a large wooden box with a length, width and height of more than two meters?"
"...No." Old Mrs. Zhihui was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and whispered, "...However, I have heard of such a box in the legend of the Spider Fairy, buried under the ancestral hall. Then
yes……"
Old Mrs. Zhihui suddenly raised her head, with a terrifying expression on her face like old tree bark:
