"Ayano, in the past month or so, the fluctuation of your pupil power is indeed unusual compared to before..."

Mochizuki Yasushi handed the report in his hand to Mochizuki Ayano, turned around and began to mix something in the test tube.

"Mochizuki Ayase" slept for a long period of time for some unknown reason after the rift girl incident.

During that period, Mochizuki Ayano's pupil power fluctuations were unprecedentedly stable, which also supported her to preside over many large-scale spiritual removal operations.

But recently, the fluctuation of pupil power has started a rather violent rebound trend like a stock.

"Maybe it's because of the high pressure at work recently, that your ability to control pupil power has decreased compared to before. I think it's necessary for you to suspend the work of the ninth class and take a rest for more than a year..."

Mochizuki Koji turned around and pushed the liquid in the test tube in his hand into the syringe.

"...If the Metropolitan Police Department is really too busy, the clan can transfer 'Che' back."

"No, patriarch, I'm fine...hs..."

Before she finished speaking, the syringe in Mochizuki Koji's hand had already been gently pressed on her arm.

"You should know that although the injection of "Hundred Eyes Ghost's Culture Fluid" can temporarily suppress the fluctuation of pupil power, it will only make your body closer to the 'that guy', but it's just drinking poison to quench thirst..."

The green liquid in the syringe was poured into Mochizuki Ayano's body little by little.

"Also, the full moon is coming soon. At least on that day, you must rest at home with peace of mind."

Hearing Mochizuki Yasushi's sincere words, Mochizuki Ayano frowned and nodded slightly.

"Patriarch rest assured, I will pay more attention and try not to use pupil power. If the next test does not improve, I will officially apply for leave."

Pulling down her sleeves, Mochizuki Ayano stood up and bowed to Mochizuki Yasushi.

Walking to the door of the laboratory, she pondered for a while, then she suddenly turned around and asked: "Patriarch, where is the place where grudges are permanently stored? Really... can no one bring grudges out of there?"

"That's the top secret of the royal family. How could an old man like me know about it... But so far, I haven't heard of any stored grudges being stolen... Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

Mochizuki Koji smiled slightly, and asked with concern while packing up the equipment at hand.

"It's nothing...just a little curious about the secrets of the royal family..."

Mochizuki Ayano shook her head slightly and remained silent.

...

48 hours before "Gate of Hell" appears.

Taito District, Zangqian Apartment.

In the evening, Sousuke Araki put his hands in his pockets and slowly stepped into the gate of the open-air parking lot.

After returning from Saitama Lingyuan, due to his low mood, he refused the invitation of several people to dine together, and went straight back to the Tibetan-fronted apartment that he had not returned for a few days.

This five-story, 20-unit white apartment building is as pale and dilapidated as ever, and not a single unit is lit.

The Skytree at the back of the apartment, as if welcoming him back, lit up at the same moment from the bottom, blooming toward the sky like a fire tree and silver flower.

Sitting weakly on the steps of the door, staring blankly at the Skytree in the distance, Sousuke Araki lit a cigarette.

The smoky, dreamy Skytree reminded him of the day he had just moved, full of ambition.

But no matter what, it is already different.

"Uncle, are you sad?"

A young child's voice awakened the sluggish Sousuke Araki.

He turned around in surprise.

On the steps beside him, at some point, next to him sat a little girl about six or seven years old, holding a ball.

She has a playful watermelon hair, a chubby face, and a pair of innocent big eyes looking up at Sousuke Araki curiously.

Is it a kid from a nearby house?

"No... uncle is fine..."

Araki Sousuke pressed the cigarette **** out on the ground, trying his best to show a kind smile.

"Then why are you crying..."

Following the little girl's fleshy fingers, Sousuke Araki made a pattern on his face.

There were tears on his cheeks.

"Sorry, uncle just, I remembered a friend who went far away..."

Araki Sousuke forced a smile while using his cuffs to misplace his face indiscriminately.

"Dad said that Ji Xiang's mother also went far away... Ji Xiang cried at first, but stopped crying later..."

The little girl sat beside him obediently, holding her chubby cheeks in both hands, showing a thoughtful look.

"Really, Ji Xiang's mother must be thinking of Ji Xiang in the distance too."

Seemingly touched by the little girl's words, Sosuke Araki couldn't help but reached out and touched the top of the other's head, comforting her softly.

Her mother must have died.

"Really, I really want to see my mother soon... However, Ji Xiang is also very worried about her father alone..."

"By the way, where does Ji Xiang live? It's getting dark. If you don't go back, your father will be looking for you everywhere."

Looking at the setting sun that completely entered the horizon, Sousuke Araki suddenly remembered this question.

"...Ji Xiang lives here. Dad is out. Ji Xiang is waiting for him at home..."

Just when Sosuke Araki hesitated to call the police station to ask, the little girl turned around and pointed into the dark corridor.

"Hay?"

Looking in the direction of her finger, it was Room 103 opposite Sousuke Araki.

Although I work night shifts for a long time, my life is turned upside down, and I usually don't have the opportunity to meet my neighbors, but I am used to it.

But the gloomy uncle who hasn't seen him for a long time and likes to peep through the crack of the door actually has such a lovely daughter?

Heck, he must look like his mother.

"Clap."

The sound of something falling to the ground caught Sousuke Araki's attention.

Looking back, a man appeared in the parking lot at some point, looking pale at the two people sitting on the steps.

It was the uncle who lived in room 103 opposite Sousuke Araki.

He was wearing a dark one-piece hoodie, covering his whole body tightly.

In the plastic bag that fell at his feet, elf horses, snacks, incense sticks, potted lanterns and other sacrificial supplies were scattered.

"Ji Xiang... how are you..."

Staring blankly at the **** the steps, the man showed confusion mixed with excitement, and the crystals in his eyes were surging under the dim light.

It seems that his daughter looks a little different than usual.

"Well, Dad is back..."

The "salty pig's hand" at the top of the top, which became stiff for some reason, the little girl stood up and ran towards the chunky man who was standing in the center of the parking lot.

Her slightly clumsy back, in the dim light, seemed to bloom with a crystal white light.

"Ji Xiang, didn't Dad tell you to wait at home obediently..."

Seeing the little girl running towards him, the man was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to hug the running daughter.

That nervous appearance and careful movements were like a bubble that could not be held by the girl in front of her and would disappear at any time.

"Dad has been gone for too long, Ji Xiang misses Dad..."

As the two fathers and daughters embraced each other, the little girl in the man's arms began to glow with holy fluorescence.

"Ji Xiang...Wait, you are..."

Seemingly found something unusual, the man's voice began to tremble uncontrollably.

"No~lightnovelpub.net~Don't..."

"Mom, I'm here to pick up Ji Xiang... Dad... take care of yourself..."

"...Ji Xiang!!!!"

Ji Xiang's small body is just in his father's arms, with his hands clasped together and a happy smile, like a big dandelion blown by the breeze, scattered like countless small white umbrellas, floating into the distance.

Looking at the scene in front of him, an inconspicuous fragment of a happy life that was buried in the man's mind because he couldn't bear to recall it surfaced.

"Dad, Ji Xiang is in kindergarten today, and the teacher taught the flower language... Guess what is the flower language of dandelion?"

"Flower language? Dad is not good at this."

"Dad is so stupid! The teacher said that the flower language of dandelion is... bad, Ji Xiang also forgot..."

The flower language of dandelion is "unstoppable love".
