"Ji Xiang..."

The entire parking lot was silent, and only the man could be heard lying on the ground, sobbing in a low voice.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

On the steps, Sousuke Araki, who didn't say a word from beginning to end, still kept the gesture of reaching out and touching his head, frozen in place, watching what was happening in front of him.

On his face, black runes like tadpoles continued to flow.

In the depths of the pupil, there seemed to be an incandescent flame burning, smashing the rune into dark red sparks angrily, but still unable to break through the shackles of the endless black rune gushing out.

After a long while, the chunky uncle stopped sobbing and got up from the ground with difficulty.

"No matter who you are...Thank you, I can finally explain to my wife..."

He bowed deeply to Sousuke Araki, who was sitting on the steps, with a happy smile of relief on his raised face.

Immediately, he turned around and walked out of the parking lot gate.

After a long time, the white flame in Sousuke Araki's eyes went out again.

Those black runes also slowly faded like a tide.

"Ahhh!!! Am I sitting here and falling asleep?"

Touching his nose, he surveyed the empty parking lot as if he had just woken up from a dream.

"When is this... what exactly happened?"

Walking forward slowly, he looked down at the white pocket in the center of the parking lot and the sacrificial supplies scattered all over the floor, with a complicated expression on his face.

This long-lost asymmetry of "forgetting important things" has not appeared for a long time since he "recovered from the second illness".

...

43 hours before "Gate of Hell" appears.

"Ah ah ah ah ah, there are so many things, I forgot to arrange this..."

In the office of Section 9, Mochizuki Ayano was clutching her hair and looking at an investigation report handed over by Takeshi Iwata in distress.

Because of various cases, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to take care of her soft blonde hair.

"So, the license plate registrant Natsume Kikuto, who was secretly investigated by Tamiya-kun, only admitted the crime of 'illegal modification of a motor vehicle', and denied all other crimes, right..."

"Yes, the target is only a bad high school student, and the psychological defense is quite weak, so I will explain all the illegal behaviors on weekdays. However, in order to confirm the authenticity of the information, we still follow the procedure to record the 'phone book' Interrogation methods such as hammering, foot soaking with electric shock stick, and suffocation mask have been used one after another..."

Iwata Takeshi looked at the interrogation record in his hand and reported it expressionlessly.

"Moreover, according to the alibi from the traffic monitoring and evidence collection, it is basically confirmed that his locomotive has been dummy..."

"...I understand, this investigation will stop here. It's been a long time, Takeshi Iwata, you should get off work today."

While speaking, Mochizuki Ayano took out a laptop from under the table and opened it.

"Okay, teacher, you haven't been home for a while, so please pay attention to rest."

Takeshi Iwata bowed slightly, and when he exited the office, Mochizuki Ayano's voice rang in his ear again: "By the way, this matter involves Tamiya-kun's privacy and reputation, please keep it a secret."

After Takeshi Iwata nodded, gently closed the door and left, Mochizuki Ayano stuffed the investigation report into the shredder, then held her chin, looking at the information in the laptop, and fell into deep thought.

In that computer, it is the private investigation data left by the deceased information team detective Tamiya Shengyu.

Tamiya-kun's private investigation involved some website intrusions and abuse of the authority of Lesson 9, which is strictly illegal.

Out of respect for the sacrificed detective, Mochizuki Ayano never reported it, but asked Takeshi Iwata to secretly check.

According to her sorting out, Tamiya-kun, as the ninth class detective, naturally knows the existence of "spirit".

Therefore, it should be quite distressing about how to deal with the deceased second son "Ryogo" who is hovering beside the eldest son.

Since the farming era, there is a saying in Japanese folklore that children who die before their parents have no time to accumulate enough "merit" and at the same time have to take the charge of "unfilial piety" that makes their parents sad, so they will be trapped in three There will never be a day of liberation on the banks of the road.

Legend has it that the passing Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, out of pity for these children, hid them in his sleeves and took them to the other side of the Santu River, so that they could become Buddhas and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation.

Therefore, parents will carve simple Ksitigarbha stone statues for their deceased children, and then tie their clothes as cloaks and hoods on the stone statues, hoping that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva can protect their deceased children and extradite them to become Buddhas. .

Therefore, rows of cute "Little Jizo" statues with round heads and round heads and red hoods can be seen everywhere in Japan, and they have even become a unique folk scenery.

As everyone knows, behind every Ksitigarbha statue is a child who died young.

Based on the principle of "obsession keeps the spirit body" in the human world, as well as the summary of years of practical experience in eliminating spirits, the Association of Spirit Eliminators has truly bound these innocent and ignorant children's spirit bodies in the human world and cannot be freed...

I am afraid, it is the obsession formed by the "grief" of the parents.

But when Tamiya-kun encountered such a situation and didn't know what to do, the spiritual body of the second son "Ryogo" was "exorcised" by a passing knight.

This naturally made him unable to ignore and investigate.

As the pictures in the computer switched, I flipped to a screenshot of the driving recorder.

The screenshot shows the back of a black heavy-duty locomotive running away.

On the rear of the car was the license plate belonging to high school student Natsume Kikuto.

Looking at the exaggerated shape of the locomotive, it was similar to a locomotive that Mochizuki Ayano remembered that day in front of Yoyogi's apartment.

Ghost Rider.

This should be the picture captured by Mrs. Tamiya's driving recorder on the day when "Ryogo" was "killed".

"Sure enough..."

So far, the cause and effect of the whole thing are the same as Mochizuki Ayano guessed before.

In order to disguise himself as a Ghost Rider, Fujiwara Takumi wears the license plate of a high school student named Natsume Kikuto.

And his secret act of removing spirits led to the investigation of the unsuspecting Tamiya-kun.

This is also the reason why she has been keeping a close eye on this investigation, and in line with the original intention of maintaining the secrets of Fujiwara Takukai and Tamiya-kun, she only conducts basic information verification.

However, in the last folder, there was a bunch of messy materials that Tamiya-kun had not had time to sort out before his death~lightnovelpub.net~, but Mochizuki Ayano's face changed slightly and she looked at it with fascination...

That seems to be part of the information that Tamiya-kun intruded into the backstage of the out-of-house delivery website and obtained it.

The creation date of the folder is the day before the start of "Sako Capture Operation".

The first file in the folder is a linked poster with Ghost Rider.

"Ghost Rider x Demaekan ~ The messenger of justice is escorted home".

"So... Fujiwara Takumi's clothes and motorcycles were obtained from the exodus?"

The second document is a screenshot of the employee data at the backstage of the delivery station at the front office.

"Exit the Ikebukuro delivery station in the front building... delivery employee number 9527...name..."

"Araki, Sosuke?!"
