What era is it? Why are people still writing traditional diaries?

However, her mother answered this matter very carefully on the phone.

The leyline is in the basement of the old school building, where you can even see Geng Xizi's remains.

If Geng Zizi had not wanted to atone for her sins to her sister, and the higher-ups were willing to see a harmless vengeful spirit replace the cursed object, Geng Xizi would have almost been exorcised ten years ago.

"basement?"

Shu Qi was stunned for a moment: "Where is the basement? I searched so carefully, even with my Yin-Yang eyes open, but I didn't find any basement anywhere."

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone before answering.

"Based on my judgment, that Geng Xizi really didn't want anyone to see where she died, so she subconsciously tried to cover up the location of her death."

"At that time, I also searched for a while and expended some spiritual energy before I found it. I think the leyline should still be in the same place, but she has hidden it better."

When she said this, her mother seemed a little worried.

This concealment ability is at least at level one. Even if the other party's emotions have been stable for more than half a century, one still needs to be more careful in this era.

If necessary, her mother also said that she could come and check it out together.

However, this was politely declined by Hiiragi Ki.

"Now that I know the problem, I know what to do. I won't be back for dinner tonight. Remember to leave the door open for me later. I'll come back after I finish my work."

Having said this, after hanging up the phone, Hiiragi stood at the top of the hill and looked at the old school building below.

"It seems I can only change my clothes," touched her backpack, and thought about how she had wasted so much time. After dealing with this matter, she would have to rest for another day when she returned.

When Hiiragi Inori appeared in front of Miyauchi Hikage and his group again, she had already changed into the traditional shrine maiden costume that had been passed down in her family.

Now, not to mention Miyauchi Hikage, even Fujinomiya Kisame and Ito Kaiji standing next to him could feel that the other person's temperament seemed to have changed.

If Hiiragi looked like a listless woman before, now there seems to be a gleam of brilliance in her eyes.

Miyauchi Hikage could even vaguely see a faint white light emanating from around Hiiragi Inori, which should be the defensive ability attached to this shrine maiden costume.

It seems that the more than one hour of searching before did make the other party a little more vigilant.

After putting on this combat uniform, even if Ying Xizi goes berserk, I should be able to hold on for a while.

Even though he was thinking this, Miyauchi Hikage still looked puzzled and asked, "Ms. Hiiragi, what are you doing?"

"Ahem," Hiiragi coughed lightly, "This is a necessary ritual. Just wait for me outside the old school building. I'll take care of it quickly."

She mentioned that the remains of Geng Xizi might be hidden in the old school building, and now she is going to find the location of the remains and pray for them.

Hearing these words, Ito Kaiji subconsciously took several steps back.

Even if there were no ghosts, he didn't want to see other people's corpses in real life.

On the contrary, after hearing this, Geng Wujiang finally plucked up the courage and stood up to ask Shu Qi if she could go in with him.

Hiiragi glanced at the other person.

It turns out that this girl seems to have some signs of spiritual power, and she looks familiar, as if I have seen her somewhere before.

"you are?"

She looked at Miyauchi Hikage and thought that this person was one of Miyauchi Hikage's employees.

Miyauchi Hikage also briefly introduced the matter of Geng Wujiang to the other party.

After knowing the connection between Geng Wujiang and Geng Xizi, Hiiragi also blinked.

It turned out to be a photo of Geng Xizi that she had seen before, and she looked 90% similar to the short-haired girl in front of her.

However, since he is a descendant of Geng Xizi, with this relationship, it may be easier for him to find the basement where Geng Xizi's bones are.

Moreover, compared to Miyauchi Hikage who has already been reserved by the sorcerer, although Geng Wujiang is a little younger, her ancestors have obviously a much closer relationship with Shinto.

If the other party has good talent, then we can indeed find an opportunity to bring the other party and the Geng family back to the path of God.

Thinking of this, Hiiragi nodded and said that it was okay, but they had to follow her instructions from then on.

"What about you guys? Do you want to come with me?" She was referring to Miyauchi Hikage and his group.

In response, Miyauchi Hikage glanced at the time.

After all that Shuuki had done, it was almost dusk.

Since the theme of this issue is Twilight Girl, Miyauchi Hikage’s focus will naturally be on the dusk.

Besides, how can dealing with Ying Xizi, who is full of hatred and may lose control at any time, and most importantly, is not good-looking, be as interesting as dealing with the ghost lady with long black hair?

So Miyauchi Hikage looked at Ito Kaiji.

"I'm filming the dusk scene here to see if I can encounter the 'ghost' we saw yesterday. Kaiji, as a boy, you can come with me to the old school building to help out and practice your courage. I'll give you a raise then."

Chapter 176: Dusk

Ito Kaiji was trembling all over, but his eyes were flashing with desire for money as he followed Hiiragi Inori and the others in.

After they all entered the old school building, Miyauchi Hikage began to prepare for the upcoming dusk.

However, after there was no one else around him, Fujinomiya Kisomi also stayed closer to Miyauchi Hikage.

"You let that Ito get involved in this kind of thing. Aren't you worried that something might happen to him?" Fujinomiya Kimi asked Miyauchi Hikage tentatively.

In response to this, Miyauchi Hikage shook his head indifferently.

After he got the card master's template, he saw the fate of those around him that day.

Although the fate of a considerable number of them has become unknown due to their interactions with him, he can still see things like life and death more clearly.

This guy Kaiji Ito is still the one who has the fate of escaping from desperate situations.

He won't be able to live a normal life.

If Miyauchi Hikage had not met him, or if he had simply changed his future where he owed a loan shark and was forced to board the ship and gamble his life.

Then the other party will either remain poor but still have enough food and clothing, or be forced into a desperate situation and then successfully counterattack and become rich overnight.

However, even if you become rich overnight, it is easy to return to your original state overnight due to your inflated mentality, and your life may even be worse than before.

And you will never be able to get rid of the thrill of gambling with your life.

But now that Miyauchi Hikage has recruited him into his gang, making it impossible for him to live a normal life, his fate of escaping from desperate situations can play a greater role.

It is a bit similar to Satan in Dragon Ball and King in One Punch Man. Although their real strength is very insignificant on the set and even the aftermath of the battle may make them GG on the spot, the other party can rely on good luck and choices at critical moments to successfully survive to the end.

Of course, Ito Kaiji's fate is not that good. He must be in a desperate situation before he can trigger this passive ability, and he will suffer some pain in the middle.

Miyauchi Hikage thought so, and then said to Fujinomiya Kisaki, "Although Kaiji does look like a small-time thug who has accomplished nothing, when it comes to the crucial moment, this guy shows great perseverance and determination."

"It's just that he's been living a bit too comfortably lately. In order to unleash his potential, we're going to put a little pressure on him."

Fujinomiya Kimi knew that Miyauchi Hikage had always been good at judging people, so when Taku Koshigaya was five or six years old, he took him to do various handicrafts, allowing him to teach himself and become a handicraft master with MAX hands-on ability in just a few years.

Similarly, Miyauchi Hikage also saw at a glance that Kagayama Kaede, who always said that he didn't like children, actually liked Renhua very much and almost treated her as his own daughter.

But when she thought carefully about the appearance and personality of Kaiji Ito, she still found it hard to believe that such a person who was hired by Miyauchi Hikage to play a clown in the video could show perseverance and determination.

However, out of trust in Miyauchi Hikage, she did not express any doubts.

"So, who is Miss Hiiragi Inoue, and what is the situation in this old school building?" She continued to ask about the matter that she was more concerned about.

"Ms. Hiiragi Inori is indeed the shrine maiden from the shrine. We went to pay our respects there a few years ago. They are the pair of shrine maiden sisters with purple hair. Ms. Hiiragi Inori is their elder sister," Miyauchi Hikage reminded Fujinomiya Kisaki.

"As for the old school building," he said, handing his modified projector to Fujinomiya Ki.

"This camera is the one that helped me capture that ghostly image."

Fujinomiya Kishi couldn't help but feel a little confused about this.

This camera seems to be the instrument that Miyauchi Hikage himself used a year or two ago.

"It was normal originally, but since I went to Tokyo and replaced its lens, I can occasionally see something special."

Miyauchi Hikage signaled Fujinomiya Kimi to take a photo of the location of the old school building.

Although Fujinomiya Kishi was a little nervous, he still took a photo according to Miyauchi Hikage's instructions.

Looking carefully at the images displayed on the camera, Fujinomiya Kishi couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly.

There seemed to be some abnormal fluctuations around the old school building in the photo.

Although she didn't know what these fluctuations were, just looking at the distortions in the photos made her feel a little nervous.

"So, it was after you noticed this change that you decided to shoot those videos... Did you deliberately put those scenes in the video to attract the attention of 'those people'?"

"I do have such thoughts, right? After all, you know about the things I found in my family's warehouse back then," Miyauchi Hikage looked at Fujinomiya Kishi. "Not only my family, but yours also has some corresponding records."

The other family did not mention anything about the Demon Slayer Corps. It should be that only the Miyauchi family had a further connection with the Demon Slayer Corps, but the Fujinomiya family did record that someone innocent was killed in the village and the murderer was finally killed by a wandering samurai.

Seeing Fujinomiya Kishi nod, Miyauchi Hikage continued, "So, it seems this world still hides many secrets. And because of these videos, it seems that I have been targeted by a certain force over there."

Not only does this world hide many secrets, you also hide many things.

This was the thought that came to Fujinomiya Ki Minoru's mind.

She also recalled it.

When Miyauchi Hikage took them around Saitama Prefecture and outside the prefecture, they did go to many strange places and made them do many strange actions.

The Takamiya Shrine is also among them.

When Miyauchi Hikage saw the two purple-haired shrine maidens, he took the initiative to approach them and interact with them. In the end, they took several photos together in front of the shrine.

This is something that Miyauchi Hikage rarely does when he visits other shrines.

Previously, Fujinomiya Kishi thought that Miyauchi Hikage might simply have felt that the two middle school-looking shrine maidens were rather special.

But now it seems that Miyauchi Hikage had noticed something before.

Thinking of this, she just gently held Miyauchi Hikage's hand.

"Then how confident are you?"

She was referring to whether Miyauchi Hikage could guarantee his own safety after coming into contact with that world.

Miyauchi Hikage smiled. After sensing Fujinomiya Kishi's slight nervousness, he sent a wave of energy into Fujinomiya Kishi's body to relax him a little. "It's just barely enough."

The "barely" that Miyauchi Hikage mentioned probably means relatively stable.

It seems that a lot of changes have really taken place in him in this month.

So much so that even when facing a world that is completely unknown to ordinary people, one can still show such an attitude.

Fujinomiya Ki Minoru actually wanted to ask a lot of things.

After all, she was also full of curiosity and worry about that unknown world.

But feeling the warmth coming from the other person's palm, Fujinomiya Kishi also felt a lot more at ease.

Since Miyano Hikage hadn't explained everything to her completely, she wouldn't ask any further questions.

But such quiet time never lasts forever.

As the sky begins to turn yellow, dusk is about to arrive.

Fujinomiya Kimi took the initiative to let go of his hand, indicating that it was time to start working.

Miyauchi Hikage also turned his head and looked towards the school gate.

That illusory figure seemed to gradually emerge with the arrival of dusk.

Of course, it is not the time to encounter the devil yet, so only he can see the other party's translucent figure, and Fujinomiya Kishi beside him cannot see it.

However, Miyauchi Nikage can allow Fujinomiya Kimi to use the projector in her hand to capture the "abnormal fluctuations" around her, allowing her to have a slight sense of participation.

Following Miyauchi Hikage's active reminder, Fujinomiya Kishi also tried to take a photo of the school gate with his camera.

"There seem to be some less obvious distortions here," after discovering the problem with the photo, Fujinomiya Ki Minoru quickly told his findings to Miyauchi Hikage.

"Do we need to call Miss Hiiragi out?" Although her physical strength had a ripple of power, making her body a lot warmer, but when encountering such a thing, Fujinomiya Kishi still instinctively thought of finding a professional to deal with it.

"That classmate Yukiko has been around for half a century. In the past half century, she has never actively harmed anyone. Even if she is a real ghost, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"It's a rare opportunity to know the true thoughts of a dead ghost."

Miyauchi Hikage said this, then waved to Fujinomiya Kimi, asking her to stay where she was and take pictures, while he walked towards where Yuko was.
