The cursed power remaining on Saotome Ai is not exactly the same as "Aoyagi".
In other words, not all of it was what she came into contact with when handling Qingliu.
Moreover, that power gave Prajna a feeling more like that of King Xingshi whom he had fought against before.
After knowing this, Kamiyakawa had a vague guess in his mind——
Could it be that the person Saotome loves to protect and hide is Takiyashahime?
If that were the case, then everything that had happened so far would make sense.
According to historical records, Takiyashahime was originally the daughter of the new Emperor Taira, and was also known as the "exiled princess".
After Taira Shomon was wiped out, Takiyashime survived. In order to overthrow the emperor and clear her father's name, she did not hesitate to summon evil spirits and set off a rebellion against the emperor at that time.
And its power to summon evil spirits comes from the God of Dark Silt and Beauty.
Takiyashahime is clearly recorded in the information in the Countermeasures Room, and is the first human being to have truly completed the curse ritual of "visiting a shrine in an ugly time".
"King Xingshi, as the ally and assistant of Heishangmen, possesses the power of the God of Darkness and Beauty... It is hard to believe that there is no connection between this and Takiyashime."
"Perhaps there is a conflict of ideas between King Koushi and Takiyashahime regarding the matter of Heishōmon. So the latter would stand on the opposite side of King Koushi and secretly assist the countermeasures room?"
"If Ai Saotome really knew Takiyashashi, then it makes sense that she would know so much about Aoyagi. It seems that we have to find an opportunity to get some information from Ai Saotome."
Kamiyagawa thought this way, and the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that this guess was true.
Moreover, King Xingshi can cause chaos in modern times, so it seems normal that Takiyashime can survive in the same way to this day.
Not far away, Ai Saotome was originally watching Kamiyagawa's investigation activities with two official exorcists.
For a spiritual exterminator of her caliber, the opportunity to see a big shot like a disciple of ghosts and gods at work is very precious and rare.
The more he looked at her, the more he felt from the bottom of his heart that Kamiyagawa was able to quickly make a name for himself in the spirit-killing industry and become a hot new star.
Ai Saotome had also heard rumors before that Kishin disciples were extremely good at controlling Shikigami.
Now it seems with my own eyes that all the shikigami under Kamiyagawa are stronger than they realize.
This is true whether it is the figure in a red and black dress who blocked Saotome Ai in the alley, or the figure in a purple and white undergarment who appears next to him now, carrying several masks.
Even though Saotome Ai hasn't seen many big scenes, she has a close relationship with Takiyashahime.
She clearly knew that ordinary ghost stories and monsters did not give people the same feeling as these two!
"What kind of existence is he who was trained by the disciples of ghosts and gods... And he can easily summon two shikigami like this. This man is really scary. I didn't try to resist him in the alley just now.
It is indeed very wise."
Just looking at it like this, Saotome Ai suddenly felt that something was wrong.
It seemed that Kamiyagawa, who was still observing the burning marks on the ground just now, and the female shikigami wearing a mask, all turned their attention to him at the same time.
"What's going on? Why did you suddenly turn your attention to me?"
Just by being looked at by the two of them, Ms. Saotome felt like a light on her back, and couldn't help but think——
Could it be that Takihime’s affairs were exposed?
Shouldn't it?
It was obvious that during the escape process just now, the scarecrow doll that Takihime left behind had already disintegrated.
Now even if Saotome loves her, she can't feel and contact Takihime.
But if you are a disciple of ghosts and gods, maybe you can still see the clues?
"Miss Saotome, can we talk more about Aoyagi?" Kamiyagawa stood up from the ground and suddenly asked calmly.
"Uh, ha, ha...of course." Saotome laughed dryly, "I will tell you everything I know in detail."
It seems that he is not asking about things that may involve Takihime...
So, did you see it or not?
It is really helpless to deal with strong people.
There was always a feeling of standing naked in front of him, unable to hide any secrets.
If a hanging heart like this cannot be let down, even if it is put aside and dealt with, the psychological defense line will consume itself.
Ms. Saotome was under a lot of pressure and felt tortured.
…
Two days have passed.
In the past two days, the team of exorcists led by Kamiyagawa has been looking for the existence of the "Qingliu Men".
But the effect is not very good.
From the time he left Nagoya with Saotome Ai until now, he has only dealt with three "Aoyagi" in total.
There is no way this will happen.
Although Qingliu carries a certain amount of extraordinary and cursed aura, it is too weak.
That is to the extent that even if an ordinary exorcist meets a certain "Qingliu" face to face, he will feel that the other person is just a normal ordinary person.
Although Kamiyagawa already knows what the aura of Aoliu looks like, and has the assistance of the little old man and Hannya, they can only correctly sense its location after getting close to a certain range of "Aoliu".
This range currently only covers a radius of about three kilometers.
But the "green willows" hidden in the crowd are extremely scattered.
In order to find out all of them, at this stage, if Kamiya does not lead the shikigami to search the entire territory of Japan, there is no way to do it.
Fortunately, there are ghost cars as a means of transportation. After planning the route, you can scan a selected area without blind spots.
However, because it is necessary to achieve full coverage of the area, and the ghost car cannot drive too fast, driving too fast will result in the loss of part of the information and breath detection along the way. Therefore, even doing this is still quite time-consuming.
Saotome Ai, who has been cooperating with Kamiyagawa's actions for the past two days, said——
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Perhaps because Anyu Jiamei was awakened by King Xingshi, the activity and proliferation rate of the Qingliu people have obviously accelerated a lot."
Kamiyagawa was even a little worried that the speed at which he and the other teams arranged by the countermeasures room would be unable to keep up with the rate at which Aoyagi multiplied.
Moreover, Kamiyagawa also knew that the Cursed Dragon God seemed to have been planning to find a suitable "body" to help him break through the shackles of the seal and come to the world.
After the failure of the Pingjiang Gate incident, these green willows were probably the second-hand preparation used by An Yujia Mei who had already awakened.
Compared to the high-profile Taira Shomon, the Qingliu people's activities this time were more secretive and low-key.
If it weren't for Saotome's habit of tipping off people, the Countermeasures Room and Kamiya might not have reacted until now.
In addition, the green willows are immortal in a sense and can continue to multiply...
A single green willow may be nothing to an ordinary spiritualist.
But what if they gather together?
If a large number of green willows are accumulated, will it be a suitable body for the arrival of the Dragon God?
Very tricky.
For now, Kamiya River does not want to see the dark silt and beauty coming.
Satoru hasn't woken up since he last saw the situation in Hirazaka.
Moreover, with Wu's current strength, he still can't see clearly the specific situation of Dragon God.
However, in terms of information, I managed to get some supplementary information from Saotome.
There is also the Wutengu.
The Tengu promotion ceremony has not ended yet, and we still have one less reliable combatant.
So no matter what, even if he failed to prevent the arrival of the God of Dark Silt and Beauty in the end, Kamiyagawa must delay its arrival as late as possible.
We must do our best to pull out the hidden green willows and dispose of them.
In addition, considering that the worst possibility is that the Dragon God will come through Qingyanagi, Kamiyagawa once again settled the situation at home during this trip. All the non-combat ghost stories went to Tsuneiseri's territory, even Bunche Youfei was no exception.
Before the matter is resolved, if Xiaowenche wants to coordinate the work of GENIE studio, he can only do it remotely through video.
But these are the rigid requirements issued by Kamiya.
What's more, he also told Xiao Wenche: "It doesn't matter even if GENIE operates at a loss, your safety is far more important than this."
This made Princess Wenche completely unable to resist her master's orders.
As for the two apprentices, they were both arranged to go to Yoshikoji Temple.
Xiao Lu and Tsurumi are no longer showy, and they still have the ability to protect themselves. If they stay together, they will take care of each other.
Moreover, within the temple grounds of Yoshikoji Temple is Mary's home court, and the "goddess of joy and luck" with Mahakala's vest can even descend freely in the temple.
If the Golden Bear and the Star Bear are arranged to guard there, Yoshikoji Temple will be very safe.
If there is any disturbance, Kamiya River can reach the scene in time through the ghost car as long as it is delayed for a moment.
The last one is Saotome Ai.
Kamiyagawa was ready to attack her.
Kamiya didn't plan to use [Thousand Silver Needles] on Saotome, because she might need to cooperate with him later, so he didn't want to blind her into being stupid.
Moreover, relying on deception to obtain information, and waiting for the other party to react, they may feel conflicted, which is not conducive to future cooperation.
It's best to let her admit it herself.
And because Kamiyagawa has been putting psychological pressure on Saotome intentionally or unintentionally in the past two days, although she can barely remain calm on the surface, she is always on tenterhooks and unable to really relax because she is really hiding something, and her inner emotions are already in chaos.
The psychological defense was broken. Ms. Saotome was confused by the self-consumption caused by "playing" and many unverified thoughts.
It's a good time to capture her in one fell swoop and obtain information that may be related to Takiyashahime.
…
Present life.
Tokushima Prefecture, Kamiseki Town.
This is a town located on the southern coast of Tokushima.
The time now is daytime, in a certain household in a high-rise residential building east of Kamishi Town.
There is no natural light in the bathroom of this house, and the incandescent lamp on the ceiling makes a "sizzling" sound of electricity, flickering on and off.
Between such an uncomfortable overlap of light and dark, there is a man's figure twisting in it.
Sizzling——
The incandescent light comes on.
The man's figure was illuminated again.
His shadow was projected onto the scarlet-colored wall, moving darkly and continuously.
As for the man himself, you can see that his whole body is stained with either dried or fresh blood.
The body and hair were covered with a large amount of minced meat, red, white, fat and thin powdery meat, and the smell was disgusting.
"Damn...damn...damn!"
The man was cursing like this, his breath was heavy, his eyes were red because they were bloodshot, and the background color of his pupils was like a mad beast, dark and violent.
He raised his right hand high.
A kitchen knife with a blunt edge and dripping with blood was then raised, flashing a weak and sticky cold light under the illumination of the incandescent lamp.
Sizzling——
The lights dimmed again.
The man also swung the kitchen knife in his hand.
Boom!
The blade of the knife fell on the chopping board, making a dull chopping sound.
The man's name was Sumiyoshi Yoshihuai, and he was originally just a gangster worth mentioning.
In addition, he is not the current owner of this apartment.
Sumiyoshi appears here for the purpose of burglary.
As a habitual criminal, he had already conducted a thorough investigation before breaking into the target apartment.
No one has been in or out of this apartment for at least three days, and the clothes hanging on the balcony have not changed their positions. The owner must be in a hurry and have a long trip, so it is a good target.
However, Sumiyoshi Yoshihuai would never have imagined that when he successfully sneaked into this apartment late at night and was rummaging through boxes and cabinets, the original owner of the house would suddenly come back and bump into him.
Tough luck!
How could he be so unlucky?
The owner of the apartment is an old man with gray hair, but his gentle eyes are still full of color.
The old man's eyebrows leave a deep impression on people. The peaks of his eyebrows are delicate and soft, and his eyes are clear and deep.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It feels a bit inconsistent for no reason, and it really doesn’t look like what an older person should look like.
At the same time, it was these eyes that looked at him gently but contemptuously that aroused Sumiyoshi Yoshihuai's great anger.
Burglary turned into murder.
By the time Sumiji Yihuai could react, the old man had already been strangled to death by his throat and was no longer breathing.
However, the expression on the old man's face has not changed, and there is no trace of fear remaining. It still contains contradictory gentleness and contempt.
It's like laughing at Sumiyoshi.
"How dare you look down on me? How dare you...how dare you look down on me?"
Perhaps Sumiyoshi Yoshihuai has never reacted to the matter of killing the owner of the house, and he may never react to it again.
After the murder, instead of fleeing the scene, he locked the door of the house and shut himself in with the old man's body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the bathroom, the dull sound of chopping meat continued.
Sumiyoshi Yoshihuai picked up a handful of minced meat with a ferocious expression and threw it into the sink and toilet to flush it down.
"Damn..."
How long had he been in this house?
Sumiyoshi Yoshihuai himself didn’t even know.
All he knew was that the pieces of meat on the bathroom floor that he had picked off from the skeleton would not be reduced no matter what.
All I know is that the minced meat on the chopping board is densely squirming, multiplying and multiplying as if it is alive.
Faced with such a strange scene, Sumiyoshi Yoshihuai had no fear at all. He only felt anger...anger...
He seemed to still be able to see the old man's gentle yet contemptuous eyes, still shaking in front of him.
That kind of unreasonable anger and desire for destruction completely swallowed him up.
"Damn...damn!"
Sumiyoshi Yoshihuai grabbed another bloody piece of meat, pressed it on the chopping board, and chopped it up with a knife.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
At this time, outside the bathroom.
The refrigerator in the kitchen was originally closed.
But for some reason, the refrigerator door suddenly opened without warning, and a gray-haired head rolled out from inside.
The head didn't look like it had been dead for a long time at all, and it even still had a clear and weird smile on its face.
Pfft, pfft.
Countless black thin lines, densely packed with irregular incisions under the head, constantly entangled and squirming...
