Chiba Prefecture, Hinamisawa Village.

In late September, the maple leaves all over the mountains and plains still retain their emerald green color, dazzling in the sunlight scattered in the forest.

This small mountain village surrounded by green trees and farmland at the junction of Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures has received an "uninvited guest" today.

A black commercial vehicle parked at the entrance of the village.

"Hey, that license plate says "Shinagawa"... Where is it from? "

"Shinagawa, of course it's in Tokyo, you idiot, that's the place I will conquer in the future!"

The three young children who were frolicking on the side of the road saw the car stop, turned over like frightened birds and hid in the green belt behind the fence, only showing big round eyes, looking at the strange vehicle.

"Is it here? The scenery is not bad..."

In the cab, a man in a suit and leather shoes, with a meticulous hairstyle and looking upright, checked the navigation information on his mobile phone, and reached out and shook his companion beside him.

"Hey, Sousuke, wake up!"

"Hululu...hehe...that's it...let me sleep for another five minutes..."

In the passenger seat, a blond man who was soundly asleep, his snoring turned into a pig's bark under the shaking, and struggled to wake up.

"Two nights in a row to exorcise the spirits overnight, and the sleep is seriously insufficient. The work of the spirit exterminators is more tiring than delivering food..."

"This...is Hinami Sawamura?"

He sat up slowly, lifted the "Ninja Turtles" blindfold on his face, and looked around in confusion.

"Out of Tian or Tian, ​​it doesn't look like he is popular..."

A main driveway, two secondary roads, a convenience store and surrounding farmland…

This is a small village where you can see the whole thing at a glance.

The two people who came here for some unknown reason were Sousuke Araki, a spirit slayer (apprentice) codenamed "Shijing Big Hunk", and Ryoma, a new detective from the ninth section of the Tokyo Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department.

"If the navigation is correct, this is it. After all, there is only one village in Japan with that name."

Before two, Ryoma opened the door and got out of the car, and stretched hard.

"Ah... I'm exhausted, I have to find a bubble bath when I go back to Tokyo tonight..."

"In order to accompany you to carry out this 'secret mission', I drove the car for four or five hours. The worst thing is that on the way you just bury your head in sleep and don't help you change hands at all! 』

Immediately, he stared at Sousuke Araki in the car with contempt from the corner of his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Hey, I have confirmed that there is no radio in the car, and there are no outsiders here, hurry up and tell me, come over in the end. for what?"

"Just call me here without saying anything, people feel chills down their spines along the way..."

The reason why he drove all the way to this small village where birds don't lay eggs is precisely to assist Sosuke Araki in carrying out a so-called "highest secrecy level" mission.

The content of the mission can only be known by Sousuke Araki, the spirit remover. The two former Ryoma agents who came together only need to be responsible for being the driver and coordinating local relations.

"Well, since you asked the question sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy..."

Rubbing his messy hair, Sousuke Araki twitched the corner of his mouth with a sinister smile.

"In short, the mission this time is about a curse that 'knows the name and will die'... and the origin of a series of terrifying events has to start from..."

"Stop, stop! Who do you take me for?!"

Hearing Sousuke Araki's low and terrifying tone, Erzae Ryoma, who had turned his ears to gossip, instantly froze on his face.

"As a professional Class 9 detective, I strictly abide by the principle of confidentiality and never inquire about mission information beyond my authority. This is my life creed and professional ethics engraved on my ribs!"

Faster than flipping a book, he put on a ruthless expression and walked away, preventing an unscrupulous young man in the car from continuing to "leak secrets".

At the same time, an uncle in his 40s and a uniformed police officer walked out of the convenience store next to him when he heard the sound of a car.

"Hello, it's the Second Front Police Department of the Metropolitan Police Department, right? I'm Makoto Hasebe, a police officer from Hinamisawa Village, who contacted you by phone before."

The police officer came to the car and respectfully saluted Er Ma Ryoma who was standing on the side of the road.

"Jiaofan", that is, the kind of duty post that Ryoma had been stationed in Shinjuku for a long time before the second year.

It is naturally impossible for such a remote village to have a police station. It is not bad to be able to set up a police station and station patrol police.

"Oh, this time is no trivial matter. Please be disciplined when inspecting Hase..."

"Yes!"

After returning the salute to the other party, Erma Ryoma skillfully showed a calm appearance of "leader inspection", and patted the other party's shoulder proudly.

"Wait a minute, you guy... When did you get promoted to the police department?!"

Hearing the conversation between the two, Araki Sousuke in the car widened his eyes, his forehead was covered in fine sweat, and he pointed at Erzae Ryoma outside the car with a look of disbelief.

"When he was suspended for investigation, wasn't it because of a series of crimes such as embezzlement of public funds, illegal reimbursement, and private use of confiscated items, that even the police rank of the inspector general could not be kept? 』

As a man who has recorded hundreds of police counseling records and frequently goes in and out of the police station, Sousuke Araki still has some basic common sense about police rank.

Even the top students of Dongda University who have passed the National Civil Service Class I Examination have to serve as the police department supplement first after graduation.

Among ordinary police officers, capable on-site police officers generally have to grind to the age of 30 to 40 before they have the opportunity to be promoted to the police department.

In other words, Ryoma, a guy who was no more than two years older than himself, actually achieved a "curve overtaking" in the police rank, standing in front of the elites in the professional group!

"Hey, what about the police department, in a special department like Lesson 9, where the mortality rate is extremely high and you can't work for five years, is that the most basic treatment? 』

Covering his mouth, he explained to Sousuke Araki, who was destroying his "leadership image". Before the second, Ryoma looked solemnly at a middle-aged man behind Police Officer Hase.

"This one is the Anado President of Hinamisawa Village Community Council."

"In Shimoue Toyoung, the police department was really young and promising before the second..."

Introduced by Police Officer Canggu, he shook hands with Erqian Ryoma, and the slightly chubby President Anado wiped the fine sweat from his face and looked at the man in front of him with curious eyes.

"You have come from a long way, and if there is anything that can cooperate with the police, I will do my best."

This young police officer from the Tokyo Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.com came all the way to this small mountain village for what purpose.

"Well, I came here just to be the driver..."

Just as Ryoma handed them a cigarette to light before Er, Sousuke Araki, who had a tired face, also opened the door and walked out.

"It is actually my colleague Araki-kun who is solely responsible for this investigation. Please cooperate with him fully."

He pointed at Sousuke Araki, who was wearing a one-eye patch, and skillfully flicked a cigarette into the air...

"Crack."

In the dull expressions of the two, Sousuke Araki, who wears a one-eye patch, a golden oil head, a hexagram engraved on his temples, and tattoos on his arms and neckline, opened his savage mouth, and bit the man in the air as fierce and precise as a hound. Cigarette butt.

"In Shimo-Araki Sosuke, Yelu died hard! Today, there are two laborers..."

After saying hello, he frantically stretched out his head to put on the lighter that Ryoma had lit up before the second, and vomited.
