The Ghost Festival is approaching, the weather is slightly cool, the air after the rain is extraordinarily refreshing, and even the wind brings a special chill.People scattered paper and burned incense, hoping to get through this period of time safely, and gray and black paper ash floated everywhere.

Kasuga Yatsubaki sat motionless at the entrance of the shrine like a statue, staring at the passers-by coming in and out, with a tired expression in his purple eyes hidden under his long hair.Just by turning her head, there could be bursts of "creaking" sounds, causing everyone to give way, as if they were afraid of touching her, and the skeleton supporting her slender body would be scattered all over the ground.

She sat there alone in a daze for a while, not knowing what she was thinking.

One month.

Just a short month.

One month, her family was still talking and laughing, and one month later, she was the only one left—no, if you think about it carefully, there was actually another one—the old man Funatsu who didn't have a good relationship with her parents.

The originally happy little family was suddenly shattered.The police have been busy for more than half a month and still have no clue.Life is like a play, too impermanent, always unprepared.

She got up and left alone like this, walking forward aimlessly, rolling down uncontrollably as she shed tears.I don't know what to do anymore, where should she go back now?

"Eh...?" A strange voice suddenly entered the eardrum.

Kasuga Yatsubaki stopped abruptly and looked around, but there was no one there.She couldn't help jumping in her heart... Could it be a lonely ghost?

Thinking of this, a boy with short black hair poked his head out from the nearby woods: "It's easy to get entangled when you are wandering alone on a day like this?"

The boy seemed to be only 16 or 7 years old, with a handsome face, eyebrows raised slightly, and a pair of eyes looking at him with a faint blue streamer. He met her gaze carefully, and his expression seemed a little nervous.

Chun Ri Ye Tsubaki pursed her lips slightly, and turned her eyes away.

Thinking that he had offended the other party, the boy said awkwardly: "...Ah, um, sorry, I have no other intentions, I just think it's not safe for you to be alone in this kind of place..."

——What’s so unsafe about this kind of place?

Tsubaki Kasuga frowned.She moved her eyes and found that at some point she had already reached the mass grave outside the city.The girl froze for a moment, and uncontrollably took a few steps back.

What's going on, why did you come here suddenly...?

The young man watched her cautiously, and then turned his eyes to the depths of the woods as if he had noticed something. After seeing the person coming, he hurried over: "Why did you come here? Didn't you mean to investigate Mr. Laixu?" Is there a case?"

Immediately afterwards, a gentle voice answered his surprised question: "That case has been solved, don't worry, Mr. Xuehui. I'm here this time about another case...I have something to ask over there What about that young lady, but you...why did you run out alone, Mr. Xuehui?"

This voice was so familiar to her.

Kasuga Tsubaki turned around abruptly, his stiff body made a series of creaking sounds following this violent movement, Amano Xuehui took a step back subconsciously, he quickly lowered his head, his bangs blocked those blue eyes, and he could only faintly I saw his face gradually turning pale.

Immediately afterwards, a white hand rested on Amano Xuehui's shoulder, and patted it soothingly.The boy's slightly pale face finally returned to normal: "Akigase-kun..." He moved his body in embarrassment, as if he was quite unaccustomed to the other party's intimacy.

——Why is he...?

Kasuga Tsubaki's eyes widened in surprise.She recognized him: Akigase or, a young detective.Not long ago, he was commissioned by police officer Rasu to investigate the case of her family.

The silver-haired boy sized her up and narrowed his wine-red eyes.The corners of his mouth were slightly raised and there was no curvature, as if he was playing someone's idea.

The reason why I was so impressed with him was that Akigase might indeed be a very good detective.It took only a few days to uncover the real culprit who killed his parents.

A shadow flashed across the girl's pupils: That's right, that bastard Funatsu.

Now, the old man is locked up in prison, living out his last days.If she could, she really wanted to tear that old man apart with her own hands.

The sharp nails dug into the palm of her hand, and the pain stimulated her nerves.

"You don't look well." The timid voice interrupted her fugue, and the boy standing beside Akigase smiled shyly, "If you don't mind..."

——So why do I have to be here...?

Chunri Yechun sat on the soft cushion, holding a cup of hot tea, and sighed softly.

Although Akigase may ask her for something, there is no need to just take her to someone else's house to ask.She looked up at the two teenagers sitting opposite, and coughed uncomfortably: "What do you want from me?"

"It's about the previous case." Akigase smiled slightly, "There are still many doubts. I think Ms. Tsubaki didn't tell me the whole truth, right?"

The girl froze, and her face turned pale instantly: "What do you mean...?"

the truth?

What's the truth?

What is this guy talking about...?

On the opposite side, Akase looked at her with such an expression on his face, and then raised the corners of his mouth: "Well... I didn't want to care about it at first, if it wasn't for Xuehui-kun..."

Kasuga Tsubaki narrowed his eyes with a complicated expression.

"The blood at the scene of the crime is actually not only your parents'." Akigase or Lanlan raised an eyebrow, "But it's not that Funatsu's. I think Ms. Tsubaki should be very clear about this?"

"I don't know." Kasuga Yatsubaki denied it in seconds, and his expression became anxious, "If it is true as you said, Funatsu didn't just kill my parents. Who is the third person? Why is there no body of that guy? ...?"

"Well, Ms. Kasugano... do weird things often happen in your house?" Seeing that Tsubaki Kasugano was going to have an attack, Amano Xuehui quickly changed the subject, "Ah, something is moving at home at night, and it can move at night. Hear all kinds of strange noises...?"

"Are you...?" Cold sweat began to ooze from Kasuga Tsubaki's face.

It stands to reason that only she heard the voice, why would this weak-looking guy in front of him know?

"My name is Amano Yuki." The boy staggered his eyes, lowered his head and stared straight at the hot tea in his hand, and said awkwardly, "...Because Ms. Kasugano's situation is quite special, let me tell you this, Akigase-kun found her before. From the perspective of 'humanity', he is indeed right. However, from the other side, he is nothing more than a scapegoat, and the real culprit lies deeper."

--what?

Kasugano Tsubaki looked at Akigase in disbelief, and the latter just smiled at her without any extra expression.

She clenched her fist unconsciously, and continued to turn her attention to Amano Xuehui.

"The murder of Ms. Kasugano's family is not as simple as it seems on the surface." Amano Xuehui said and squeezed the cup tightly, "And Ms. Kasugano also has the right to know the truth."

Her throat was a little dry.

What is not as simple as it seems?Could it be ghosts?Then why not just kill her too...?

"Anyway, Ms. Kasugano, be careful of middle-aged men approaching you recently." Yuki Amano said and stood up, "Akigase-kun will protect you, so don't worry too much."

A determined tone, although he still looks cowardly.

Kasugano Tsubaki followed Akigase or went to the prison one after the other to see the old man Funatsu who was locked inside.The old man has lost all his weight.For some reason, when he saw Chunga Tsubaki, the expression on his face instantly became terrified.

How should I describe his panic at that time... It was like seeing a ghost.

Thinking of this, Chun Ri Ye Tsubaki sneered coldly: Evil ghost...?That guy is the real villain.

Inadvertently catching a glimpse of Akigase in front of him, Kasuga Tsubaki broke out in a cold sweat—the boy stood upright, with the soles of his feet lightly touching the ground, and his legs moved forward stiffly.That posture, no matter how you look at it, is weird.

what is that? ! !

Thinking he was wrong, Kasugano Tsubaki took a closer look and found that Akigase might have returned to a normal walking posture.What I saw just now seemed to be just an illusion.

No, she must have read it wrong...

Tsubaki Kasuga comforted himself.If it is really a zombie, it is impossible for him to freely enter and leave the popular police station like him.And...it's impossible to speak the language so fluently.

What's more, from him, I can't feel any breath that is against this world.

Tsubaki Kasuga's sixth sense has always been strong, so she gradually felt relieved.

——That's right, in this era, zombies and ghosts have disappeared.How could it exist.

Sakurami City is gradually ushering in the night, one after another lights are lit in the night, and the stars in the sky complement each other, there is an indescribable beauty.

Send Kasugano Tsubaki back to his new residence, or Akase to the temporary residence where he and Amano Xuehui lived.

As soon as he opened the door, he found that the black-haired boy was sitting by the coffee table, staring intently at the strangely shaped short knife in his hand.

"What did you find?" Akigase leaned over and hugged him from behind, Amano Xuehui came back to his senses, and moved uncomfortably.

"Akigase-kun, have you noticed it too?" The streamer in the blue eyes became more and more obvious, and the boy opened his eyes wide, as if he was looking at something else.

"Huh?" Akigase caught Amano Xuehui's lips sideways, and the black-haired boy had no time to dodge. First, his dry lips were licked back and forth. Amano Xuehui's body trembled, and he was silent for a while. Opening his lips, Akigase might poke in, tightly wrap around the boy's timid tongue, and suck hard.

The tip of his tongue licked Amano Xuehui's palate, which made Xuehui moan vaguely.Akigase couldn't help but move back and forth in the same place, causing the corners of Xuehui's eyes to moisten.Finally getting back a little hard work, Akigase raised the corners of his mouth in some unknown way, let go of Amano Yuki who was panting, a thin line was immediately drawn between his thin lips, and then disconnected ambiguously.

"I told you not to borrow your eyes..." Amano Xuehui looked around, but refused to look at Akigase, his face flushed.

"Scared when I saw Ms. Tsubaki? I never thought she would go to such a place." Akase lightly pecked Amano Yukiki's earlobe.

"I just wanted to change the shady soil there, but it turned out... well, I've seen you countless times since I met you, but I still can't get used to it." Amano Yukiki muttered, but still grabbed Akigase or hand.

Akase smiled slightly.It was rare to see Amano Xuehui approaching him so actively.

"That Ms. Kasugano...has died a long time ago." But she always felt that something was forcing her to stay in the body.How much hatred did the murderer have for her to do such cruel things to her, and he would not let her rest in peace even after death.

The courtyard outside the house was very quiet, with occasional sounds of wind flowing.Amano Xuehui was awakened by a chill, but he heard the leaves move without wind, and the rustling sound made the hair stand on end.

Something is out there.

His keen intuition conveyed such a message to him at the first time.

Akigase might be lying beside him, her pale skin almost pale by the same pale moonlight.

But soon the strange feeling that made Xuehui uncomfortable gradually disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of being watched.Cold sweat broke out on Amano Xuehui's head, and he quietly took out the things he had prepared before from under the pillow.

"Don't move, Xuehui-kun." Akigase suddenly turned over and pressed Amano Xuehui, and whispered in his ear.

This guy had already woken up, didn't he?

Amano Xuehui twitched the corners of his mouth, and obediently did not move.

——Well, anyway, Akigase-kun's origin is indeed very... weird, and it is indeed beyond me to argue with this kind of thing.It can be easily found from various things in the past.

"The investigation of Ms. Kasugano has been targeted?" Amano Xuehui turned his face to Akigase, and the slightly opened eyes of the other party glowed slightly red in the darkness.

"It seems that's right." The corner of the thin mouth was raised, and Akigase folded his arms and pulled Xuehui into his arms, "But it seems that its target has changed to Xuehui-kun, and it is quite courageous .”

Amano Xuehui opened his mouth, but did not speak in the end.

Akigase probably also knew that he was remembering those unpleasant past events, so he stopped talking.

In fact, Amano Xuehui didn't have any innate abilities related to ghosts.Just rely on complex calculations to understand various situations.That day, it was only by her face, shadow, and past experience that I saw Kasuga Yatsubaki.

Because there are too many deficiencies, he can only help Akise or provide various clues in the case.

Feeling that the gaze was getting closer to him, Amano Xuehui tensed up nervously.

【Snapped--! 】

Akigase may slap it with a sudden palm!Amano Xuehui clearly heard something explode next to his ear, and the viscous liquid almost stained his ear.The silver-haired boy condensed his eyes, threw the thing off the bed, and then smiled at him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xue Hui, that thing seems more disgusting than imagined." He pulled him up and retreated to the corner.

Glancing at the door from the corner of his eyes, Amano Xuehui's pupils shrank, and his heart almost jumped out of his chest!

what is that?

His mind went blank, and his intense heartbeat echoed in his ears.

A bunch of things came in through the crack of the door, densely covering nearly half of the bedroom.The dots are human eyeballs.

Amano Xuehui was aroused with goose bumps all over his body, and the cold rushed from the soles of his feet to his back. Now all he can do is obey Akigase's order and hold him tightly.Akase covered his ears thoughtfully, the red light in his eyes expanded little by little, and the originally smooth skin suddenly bulged with blue veins.As if aware of Akigase's change, Amano Yukiki's whole body stiffened suddenly.

A low whistling sound filled the whole room, as if it came from the depths of the netherworld.

Akigase's body stiffened in an instant, the light in the room dimmed, the temperature dropped suddenly, and there was a faint smell of rancidity.

Several blue veins and bloodstains climbed up from his limbs, and quickly covered his entire face.Knowing that Amano Xuehui couldn't bear the prolonged confrontation, he decided to make a quick decision.Just before the cold sweat of the boy in his arms soaked his pajamas, the whistling sound suddenly stopped.The light in the room regained its previous silence, and the bone-chilling chill completely disappeared.

Amano Xuehui was tortured by that voice, his face was pale, and his thin body couldn't help shaking.Akigase or bowed his head and touched his ear lightly in comfort: "It's okay, Mr. Xuehui, that thing has already left." A low voice is the most reassuring medicine for Xuehui.

Such a soft voice comforted for a while before Amano Xuehui was able to speak gradually: "...What the hell is that thing...?" Although he has faced various situations before, but that kind of thing densely composed of eyeballs has never I've never seen it because it's so disgusting.

"Anyway, he's not someone to mess with." Akigase rubbed Xuehui's hair.

"...Do you think that Ms. Kasugano's house has done something before?" Amano Xuehui pulled out a new bed sheet and threw the previous one into the talisman water, "I didn't find anything strange before... Or is it because of that thing's eyes?" He said, his body trembling uncontrollably.

"I'll go to Ms. Tsubaki's house tomorrow to check on the situation." Akigase put his arms around Xuehui's waist, "Go to bed now, Xuehui-kun."

Taking advantage of the time when the police station called Chun Ri Ye Tsubaki away, a boy's shadow suddenly appeared in the wide corridor of the girl's house.

He didn't look like he was going to steal anything, and there was a faint chill on his handsome features.As if he had a purpose before, the boy sneaked into the main bedroom.He turned on the light, and the room was exceptionally tidy, everything was neatly placed where it should be placed, even the beds were meticulously folded into squares.It's too clean, it doesn't look like anyone lives here.

However, according to the Nishijima police officer, Kasuga Tsubaki did return here on time every day.Therefore, there is probably only one possibility mentioned by Amano Xuehui——

She sleeps under the bed every day, like a corpse.

Akigase raised her eyebrows and leaned down.He found that there was a burnt candle under the bed as Xuehui said.

"As expected." The silver-haired boy stroked his chin, and a strange look flashed across his wine-red eyes.

"Akigase-kun...how many magic circles do you think can use candles?" Amano Yukiki, who was staring at the candles in thought, suddenly said.That piece of candle is a very common white candle, which can be bought for a few cents in any supermarket.He looked at the candle repeatedly, and found that the wax and oil were all deflected in one direction, as if being blown by the wind during the burning process.

—But it is impossible to have such a strong wind in the house all the time.

"At present, there are 528 types, Xuehui-kun. Among them, there are 203 types that are used for summoning or restraint; considering the limitations of the venue and other necessary props, there are less than 100 types that can be deployed in that kind of place. "

"Among the 100 kinds, ordinary people can develop them, only less than 40 kinds." Amano Xuehui put down the candle and thoughtfully calculated, "Looking at the degree of burning of the candle, we can infer that the whole process will take about half an hour." Left and right. There are only five magic circles that can meet the various situations of Ms. Kasugano's family."

"Putting out the magic circle without authorization and being killed by something summoned..." Akase narrowed his eyes, "This way of dying is really ridiculous."

"No, it died at least a few months after the summoning. This candle is undoubtedly a prop they used. The biggest possibility is the dangerous activities such as the summoned dish fairy and pen fairy. But no matter what, Those five magic circles are extremely dangerous."

"In other words, it's a taboo." Akigase chuckled lightly.

"Yes." Amano Xuehui raised his eyes with a clear face, "This situation, do you think it is very similar to the time in school...they summoned the pen fairy at that time."

"Don't worry, Xuehui-kun. I've been doing ghost removal and other deputy jobs for a long time, and nothing will happen." Akigase pursed her lips reassuringly.

"No, I think you used this profession to deceive many of your kind." Amano Xuehui said expressionlessly.

——Including me once.

Funatsu died.

This is the news that Kasuga Wild Tsubaki learned a few days later.Because of Akigase's relationship, she was able to see the old man for the last time.How should I describe his death...

It's really... I can't rest in peace.

The terrified expression was always condensed on that old face, and Funatsu seemed to have been greatly frightened before death, probably... he was so scared to death that he didn't even have time to scream.

"... Except for the police on duty at night, it is impossible for anyone else to come and go here." Keigo Kurosu frowned, unable to figure out why the prisoner died so strangely.

It was only then that Kasugano Tsubaki realized that what Akigase said "it's not over yet" was true.

Akase stood where the corpse had been before, and looked out in the direction of the dead man's eyes: "Mr. Laisu, try turning on the light here, and please close the door by the way."

Keigo Kurasu followed suit very cooperatively, and the cell was immediately covered in a layer of ashes.The light somehow made people panic, not only Tsubaki Kasuga, but even Raisu, who is a police officer, couldn't stand the feeling.

Akigase walked to the fence by the window in the direction he looked at just now: "It seems that the thing that scared him to death, here, called his name in a voice that the police and other prisoners could not hear. He sat up, And then just saw that thing."

Cold sweat dripped down Keigo's forehead like this - what could appear outside the window... This is the fifth floor!

"Finally can't help but make a move." Akigase raised her eyes to herself, "Miss Tsubaki, has the middle-aged man Xuehui-kun mentioned to you that day already started to contact you?"

Kasuga Tsubaki trembled in horror.If it wasn't for Akiase or mentioning it, she would have forgotten the advice Amano Xuehui gave her before.

"...Yes..." She bit her lower lip tightly, her expression hidden in her long purple hair.

"Ms. Kasugano's family is too dark, and Ms. Kasugano does not belong to the Yang Realm, so she can naturally hear voices from other worlds." Amano Yukki handed Akigase or something, "That call The things that come out are starting to move, Akigase-kun, although you have that kind of physique... it's better to be careful."

Akigase kissed him on the cheek in a good mood, and the boy immediately looked away in embarrassment.

"Xuehui-kun is so cute."

"The point is wrong, Qiu Se. Jun..."

10

here we go again……

Chunri Wild Toon clenched its silver teeth.Just now she saw Qiu Lai or that strange walking posture again from the corner of her eye.His legs were stiff and not bent, and the soles of his feet touched the ground lightly, as if he didn't use any force at all.

The girl's eyelids twitched!

No matter how stupid she is, she still knows that this is not the posture of a living person.Some time ago, because of Funatsu's death, she went to check the legends about various ghosts. As far as she knows, there is only one thing that walks in this way...

But... that kind of dangerous thing, no matter what, it is impossible to become a habit that is almost the same as that of a human being.Thinking of Akigase or talking freely with Nishijima at the police station, Kasugano Tsubaki felt a chill.

Really, it's too dangerous...

Ever since I met that Amano Yukiki, strange things began to happen to me frequently. Is that guy really with this Akigase...?

Sure enough, he should trust that Hirasaka Huangquan and get rid of these two guys as soon as possible.Purple eyes stared at Akigase who returned to normal walking posture with a little fear in front, cold sweat fell uncontrollably from his forehead.

——But this guy never gave her a chance to escape.At the slightest sign of running away, he would stare back at her.

Damn, in this case...

11

It was windy again.

Just at night, the wind blows especially gloomy.Amano Xuehui couldn't help shivering, he was always vigilant and quietly went to the window to look outside.

The window was slightly open, and there was no movement outside.The boy observed carefully for a while before he was relieved.

But then -

Suddenly a human head popped out of the window, with no pupils in its wide open eyes.Amano Xuehui's pupils contracted suddenly, and his breathing stopped for a moment.

"!!!!!!"

12

Akigase stopped suddenly.He turned his head abruptly, and looked at Haruhi Yatsubaki with a somewhat complicated look.

"Miss Chun, I have something to delay, excuse me." After speaking, he ran to Amano Xuehui's house without looking back.

——What, that look...as if wishing to tear her apart immediately.

Chun Ri Ye Tsubaki's legs softened in shock, and he knelt down on the ground.

13

As soon as she stepped into the yard, Akiwase could obviously feel that the atmosphere in the air was very disordered.

Immediately afterwards, there was a crisp sound of a flowerpot breaking nearby, followed by a familiar gasp.Akigase may hasten to chase after the source of the sound.

In the next second, a louder crisp sound from the yard reached the ear drums, and at the same time there was a low growl similar to that of a wild animal.

Akigase might be startled, and the strange light in her eyes became fierce.He didn't dare to imagine what Amano Xuehui had become, so he could only go around the house with flickering lights and rush to the backyard faster.

Turning the last corner, he bumped into the frightened Amano Xuehui head-on.The boy didn't stand firmly, and he was about to fall backwards.Akigase immediately stretched out his arms and hugged the other party: "Yuehui-kun...!"

Amano Yukiki's head was covered with cold sweat, his breathing became more and more rapid, his sight was out of focus, and he kept struggling as soon as he was hugged by Akigase.There were crooked bloodstains all over the pale skin.

Akigase frowned.

As soon as he raised his head, there was another low roar in his ear.Akigase might hug Amano Xuehui tightly and roll over on the spot, avoiding the attack of that thing.

After standing still, Akigase looked at the other party carefully.The guy was almost out of shape.The eyes were white, the pupils could not be seen, and the complexion was ashen.He staggered when he walked, his legs were not bent, and his steps were extremely heavy. His whole body was covered with eyeballs, which shone with a chilling cold luster under the moonlight.

"Human corpse...? Really... I haven't seen such a disgusting thing for so many years." Akigase grinned at himself, and subconsciously hugged Xuehui, who was unconscious and struggling out of control.

Corpse spots were everywhere on the human corpse, and as he approached, the rotten breath made Akigase's eyes freeze.He just watched the thing approaching with a blank face, and the veins and bloodstains slowly covered his whole body.

There are dozens of types of human corpses, with different causes and different weaknesses.No matter what kind of human corpse it is, it is extremely powerful, and it also has corpse poison, which is very difficult to deal with.

——Of course, this is only from the perspective of human beings dealing with human corpses.

Akigase stood up straight, opened her mouth slightly, and a low, beast-like roar came out of her throat.Unlike the opponent's high-pitched and impassioned roar, his was sharper and more stable.

But if the other party is also a human corpse...

It was a breeze.

What's more, it is a human corpse like him that is so similar to human beings that it cannot be distinguished.

——At first, I wanted to keep this guy alive... But since he wanted to die so much and came to Xuehui-kun, it wouldn't be a big problem to let him die again.

14

【Click】

Following the sound similar to a broken bone, Kasuga Yatsubaki stopped moving.The purple pupils continued to dilate, and even the last consciousness was gradually moving away from her.

"Miss Tsubaki...?!!" Keigo's voice still echoed in my ears, "What's wrong with you, Ms. Tsubaki?!"

——Help me... who will save me...?

don't want to die...

I don't want to die...

15

What stood in front of him was a wall made of flesh and blood, and there were even clear blood vessels and nerve veins on it.The whole wall seemed to be alive, moving around in front of Akigase, making disgusting rubbing sounds.

Baby-like things hung from the walls all around, their faces were horrible, and the light green liquid dripped on the grass, and then there was a harsh [嗤啦] sound.They kept crying, and Akiase might feel the body in his arms shaking all the time.

The boy's red eyes sank.

He kicked away the kid who was pounced on them, and walked straight to the meat wall.Rarely cruel.

"Heh." With a sneer of disdain, Akase raised his hand and slammed his palm on the wall of the flesh.The huge force shook the wall of flesh violently. After a few moments of tossing, the weakest part of the wall began to be exposed. Akigase took out the dagger that Xuehui had given him before. Shine out the round halo.

The boy didn't even blink his eyes, and poked three times at the fleshy wall. There were several ear-piercing wailings from the inside of the thing, and then he fell to the ground, turning back into a puddle of puddles.

The human corpse was severely injured before, but it was still thinking about Xuehui, the ghost baby and the meat wall just now, one can tell that a lot of effort was spent on it.

But wanting to snatch someone in his hands, it's still too tender...!

Akigase hugged Amano Xuehui tightly again, only to feel a gust of wind blowing from behind, and he immediately slashed down.The corpse's growl was a little tragic.

"Akigase-kun...you can't see that thing." Amano Yukiki's voice finally rang in his ears, "But it...has very sensitive hearing. After death, it was possessed by something summoned by Ms. Kasugano's house and turned into a corpse." His voice was empty, and of course Akase understood that this incident reminded him of the series of events that happened when they first met.That incident has become a shadow in Amano Xuehui's heart, and he can't get out of it no matter what.

Akigase stroked his back pityingly.

He was also too careless that time, which caused the irreparable consequences.Neither he nor Amano Xuehui thought that once a person's heart is ruthless, they can do that.

"If my calculations are correct...it turns Ms. Kasugano into a living corpse. It just wants to turn her into a human corpse, and then wait for Ms. Kasugano's body to be completely eroded by Yin Qi before eating her..."

After a brief silence, the corpse actually let out a strange "Jie Jie" smile.Amano Xuehui's eyes darkened.

"...Boy, are you a fortuneteller?" The corpse stood up slowly, and Akase narrowed his eyes vigilantly to open the distance between them.Although there was nothing serious about him, Amano Xuehui was just an ordinary person, and his physique couldn't stand the poison from a human corpse at all.

Before Amano Xuehui could answer, the man fell down and started a long speech on his own: "That's right, since ancient times, it has always been easy to invite ghosts and send ghosts away. Your calculations are decent. But... that woman also It’s not a good thing. So it’s fine even if you eat it, Jie Jie.”

Xuehui lowered his head.

"Those who do that kind of thing want to take advantage of ghosts, they are looking for death." The aimless eyes of the corpse's hands suddenly focused on Akigase, "But, this guy almost ruined my business! "

"Oh...?" Akigase raised the corners of her mouth with interest.

"Although I don't know why you brought a human with you, but that woman actually invited you to honor a thousand-year-old human corpse and prevent her from transforming into a corpse. What are you planning...!"

"..." There was a flash of understanding in Qiu Lao's eyes, it was useless to say more, the corpse simply rushed over, pinching Xuehui with its withered hands.

Amano Xuehui closed his eyes subconsciously, and the rancid smell came to his face——

16

A shrill scream pierced the night sky, followed by a violent explosion.

Then everything fell silent.

Akigase frowned and swept the pus all over the floor hesitantly.

"Akigase-kun, is Ms. Kasugano...?" Amano Yuki asked suddenly.

After a moment of silence, Akase chuckled and said, "Mr. Xuehui, do you want to see Miss Tsubaki for the last time?"

The boy was silent for a while, and finally he nodded slightly.

17

Tsubaki Kasuga's body was placed in the morgue next door to Funatsu.

Amano Yukiki repeatedly emphasized that nothing would happen to Akigase, so he was relieved to go out with Keigo Karesu to discuss another recent incident.

The black-haired boy carefully looked at the corpse several times, and always felt that something was wrong.The cold air in the morgue made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

—Forget it, let’s take a look.

Thinking of this, bright blue streamers began to surge in those blue eyes again.However……

Kasuga Tsubaki's originally tightly closed purple eyes suddenly opened like this, and looked blankly at Xuehui's blue eyes with suddenly shrunken pupils.

18

"Section Chief, something is wrong with the corpse in the morgue!" The young policeman ran to Su Keigo and Akigase in a panic.

The silver-haired boy's expression froze.

Officer Laisu immediately asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's that Funatsu from before..." the police officer said intermittently, "I seemed to be laughing just now—!"

"!!!" Too bad - Akigase ran away after hearing that.

Kicking open the door, Akigase probably found that the door that Xuehui had entered before was ajar, and Funatsu's face was dull, and when he saw him coming, he rushed straight.
