Chapter 67: Seeing the Statue Again
Horiizumi Yukiko and Du Ruoyu both showed unexpected expressions.
"Is this true?..."
"Miss Kiryu, can you explain it in detail?"
Both of them urged with a nervous look on their faces.
"There is nothing to explain. During this period of time, the number of misfortune ghosts has increased compared to previous years. In the past month, I have encountered three other misfortune ghosts with two curse cores in their bodies. The first time I was really shocked, but there is nothing to say if the answer is revealed..."
After Kiryu finished speaking briefly, Horiizumi Kazuko and Du Ruoyu looked at each other. It was obvious from their eyes that they attached great importance to this matter.
"Okay, let's talk about this later. I'm here to inform the two that the magic monks sent by the Sangha Academy have broken the barrier of the disaster ghost, and the door of the utility room in the kitchen can be opened."
Horiizumi Yukiko remembered the important matter and explained it to Du Ruoyuto and Kiryu Minzuki.
"Is that hidden door in that kitchen?"
Du Ruoyou's expression became a little serious. He suggested to the people present: "Everyone, it's a rare opportunity. Let's take a look at what 'Chang Ye Lizi' is hiding here..."
###
The seals of the ghosts are very special, just as they can disguise themselves on humans, so that ordinary people cannot see their true bodies. This seal made with "black flames" usually has its own hidden effect.
That is to say, if black flames are used for sealing, ordinary people will not see the existence of the "door". If black flames are used to arrange traps at the entrances and exits, it can even hinder people's cognition and will not be able to find the correct exit.
...
But at the moment, the door in the kitchen was violently opened with a "gala".
"I used a special lock. This door is indeed reinforced, but there are no other mechanisms or traps..."
The person who spoke was a man wearing a baseball cap. He was wearing the uniform of a freight company staff member. However, Hirokura Tomoya had explained that this man was a "scholar monk" from the Monks' Academy and an expert who was good at cracking various mantras.
(Wearing a hat... is to hide your bald head...)
While Zhikura Dongye thought so, the monk took off his cap and shouted "It's really hot" and showed his bright bald head. Then the monk reached out and pushed open the door.
As the door was opened, a smelly smell came to my nose.
This should be the stench of feces, urine, urination and drowning - everyone covered their noses, the room was also very dim and there was no lighting fixture. Fortunately, someone turned on the flashlight and saw clearly the appearance of the room through the light of the flashlight.
"This is--"
Zhicang Dongye opened his eyes wide in surprise.
There were several figures sitting in the corner of the room, with seven or eight people. Their eyes were dull and their eyes were dull, sitting in place like puppets, without moving. The stinking smell also emanated from them...
"So that's the case. This should be the residents of these floors. They should have been kidnapped by the misfortune..."
Horiizumi Yuki took a look and understood it in his heart.
"Why did the misfortune kidnap these people?"
Zhicang Dongye asked in confusion.
"...It should be to implant the curse core and try to transform these people into disaster ghosts."
Kiryu Minzuki followed in, and she glanced at the men and women sitting on the ground like dolls.
"This is a method often used by the chaotic ghosts to increase companions. These people may have failed or have not been hatched successfully. However, once they become like this, it will be difficult to save them."
"People who are invaded by curses like cursed cores will be gnawed. Even if the curse is barely lifted, it is a miracle to survive. Those who are lucky will lose their minds and become vegetatives."
The bald monk shook his head, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
"Our Sangha Academy will help them perform the ritual of mantra relief, but after that, there is nothing we can do."
When everyone heard the monk's statement, they were in a heavy mood. These people were clearly living a normal life, but because of this unexpected disaster, everything in the second half of their lives disappeared. You can imagine the harm that the disaster ghosts brought to the world.
Zhicang Dongye turned his gaze around. He looked at the kidnapped people seriously, with a strange look.
(Isn’t Chang Ye Hongming here? It’s so strange. Has he not been transformed into a disaster by Chang Ye Lizi...)
When he learned that Chang Ye Lizi was a disaster, he had speculations about Chang Ye Hongming's disappearance in his heart. He originally thought that there would be Chang Ye Hongming's body in this secret room, but after entering here, his speculation obviously failed.
In this way, I spent so much energy this time, wouldn’t it be wasted?
(This is not possible. I hate the waste of effort the most. Oh, there is, this is not a great opportunity to tell the story of Amano Pharmaceutical and Shen Ci'en's reunion?)
In an instant, he had another plan.
"By the way, I don't know if there is Chang Ye Lizi's husband Chang Ye Hongming among these people. Amano and I came here to find out about Chang Ye Hongming's disappearance."
Zhikura Tooya suddenly spoke to Horiizumi Yuko.
"Senior sister, there may be some potential connection between Chang Ye Hongming and my brother's disappearance. I have been investigating this matter for a while and I will come here today for this purpose."
"Senior brother, are you investigating the disappearance of Senior Shin-soo in private?"
Senior Horizumi looked shocked and tilted her head.
"This Chang Ye Hongming? Who is he?"
"This matter is a bit complicated, so I'll just say it short..."
Yakura Tomoya no longer concealed it. He directly revealed the information that the reporter Misaki Ichi told him after his elder brother Yakura Nobuhid, and under his clever description, Amano Pharmaceutical and Kamichien Kiyoshi were the mastermind behind the incident.
"It is also to inquire about the information that I found Amano Saye. With her approval, I came to Miss Chang Yelizi with me to inquire about her husband, hoping to find out what she could do. Who knew that Miss Chang Yelizi would become a disaster."
He shook his head and pretended to have an unacceptable expression.
"And all this is too coincidental. How could Miss Reiko become a misfortune so coincidental? It's like someone is secretly blocking me from obtaining information about my brother's disappearance."
"...So that's the case?" Horiizumi Katsuko also suddenly realized her mind. She turned around, with a worried expression on her face.
"Senior brother, you should ask me for help in this kind of thing. I am also worried about Senior Xinxiu's affairs."
At this time, Du Ruoyouren's right hand gently placed on his shoulder.
"I didn't expect there was such an inside story. Zhikuang, thanks to you this time. We can say that we have obtained very important information. Did Amano Pharmaceutical and Shen Ci'en start the meeting? Very good. I didn't expect to get this information unexpectedly here..."
He smiled slightly, turned around and asked a question to Kiryu Minzuki who was standing aside.
"Not only about Amano Pharmaceutical, isn't it investigating the cult group of Shen Ci'en Qihui?"
"Ah? What did you say?"
Kiryu Minzuki stood behind everyone in a gloomy manner. There was a statue of the size of a palm on her right hand, and she was wearing an innocent expression of "I didn't hear what you were saying."
Zhikura Toshiye discovered with sharp eyes that the statue in Kiryu Nanyue's palm seemed to look extremely familiar.
"Have I seen this thing somewhere..."
Wait... it's not such a coincidence?
Suddenly, the moment this thought flashed, his eyes looked at the statue again, and his heart suddenly became shaking.
“That’s right…”
