Half past one in the afternoon.
In the reception room of the Katsuki Soul Exorcist Office, Yamagishi Eiichi had a frown on his face, his clothes were messy, and he looked nervous.
He picked up the coffee on the table in front of him and brought the cup to his mouth. His nose had already smelled the mellow smell of coffee, but he sighed again, put the cup down, and looked out the glass window of the reception room anxiously - he wished he could , Shu Yunwen can appear in front of him immediately.
In the past two days, Okino Yoko's life was not going well. Or, it can also be said to be...poor.
On Thursday night, the police only gathered up the team and left at eleven o'clock. Okino Yoko had no intention of staying alone in the room where a person had just died, so he asked Yamagishi Eiichi to open a room in a nearby hotel.
However, after all, he had just encountered such an unfortunate thing. Even with Yamagishi Eiichi accompanying him, Okino Yoko did not fall asleep until four o'clock in the middle of the night. Not long after Okino Yoko fell asleep, he woke up in panic and knocked on Yamagishi Eiichi's door. In Okino Yoko's stammering words, Yamagishi Eiichi roughly understood what was going on.
Okino Yoko has a nightmare.
She had just fallen asleep, and Fujie Mingyi appeared in her dream. Fujie Mingyi, who was covered in blood, was chasing her with a knife and loudly asked "why". Finally, she was forced into a corner, and Fujie Akiyoshi stabbed her ferociously, and she finally woke up from the nightmare.
After waking up, Okino Yoko did not dare to stay alone in the room, so she could only wake up Yamagishi Eiichi.
At that time, Yamagishi Eiichi listened to Okino Yoko's words and guessed in his heart that Okino Yoko was frightened and thought about it day by day and dreamed about it at night, so he had such a nightmare. After a few words of comfort, , and didn’t take it seriously.
However, he didn't take it seriously, and the same thing kept happening.
Because the case was kept confidential, although some media blocked it, Okino Yoko was not greatly affected and her work still had to continue.
On Friday morning, during the commercial shooting, Okino Yoko took advantage of the preparation time to take a short rest in the lounge. As a result, within two minutes, she screamed and ran out of the lounge - she closed her eyes before One minute before she fell asleep, the image of Fujie Akiyoshi holding a knife appeared in front of her eyes, and it was the kind of knife that was slashing directly at her.
In the afternoon, Okino Yoko attended an event. After it was over, she fell asleep in a daze in the work car, and then woke up again. She still dreamed of Fujie Akiyoshi, who was covered in blood and holding a knife in his hand.
It was the same all day on Saturday. For this reason, he and Yoko Okino went to see a psychiatrist together last night. After the doctor learned about the situation, he said that Okino Yoko only suffered from excessive psychological pressure because he suddenly encountered such a murder case that implicated him.
Then, the psychiatrist recommended that Okino Yoko undergo psychological treatment. As a result, the soothing music was playing and the psychotherapy had just begun. A few minutes after Okino Yoko closed her eyes, Fujie Akiyoshi appeared in front of her again, scaring her so much that she jumped up from the treatment chair and rushed out of the room.
On Saturday night, Okino Yoko still didn’t sleep a wink.
This morning, because Okino Yoko's current mental state is really bad, the office gave Okino Yoko a day off.
Yamagishi Eiichi treated Okino Yoko like a newborn daughter. Therefore, even though Okino Yoko proposed to give Yamagishi Eiichi a holiday, the tired Yamagishi Eiichi still took the initiative to take care of Okino Yoko.
It was almost noon today. Okino Yoko and Yamagishi Eiichi were staying in the room arranged by the office. When Yoko was washing her face in the bathroom, something strange happened again. In the mirror in front of the washbasin, Fujie Akiyoshi's shadow actually appeared - this time, Yamagishi Eiichi was standing next to him and could see clearly.
He was certain that this was definitely not some bullshit psychological suggestion or fantasy.
That is the dead Fujie Akiyoshi!
It's haunted!
After Fujie Akiyoshi died, he turned into a ghost and haunted Yoko!
At that time, Yamagishi Eiichi thought of the crime scene, what Shu Yunwen once said, and the vice president of Matsushita, the Katsuki Spiritual Exorcist Agency who gave Okino Yoko a business card at the crime scene.
After that, Yamagishi Ei entrusted Okino Yoko to a person from the office, and he came to visit in person according to the address on the business card - he was worried that if he called, Shu Yunwen would not pay enough attention to it and would delay it. .
With Okino Yoko's current mental state, she really can't hold on any longer. If you delay it any longer, people will die.
Yamagishi Eiichi was thinking about it in his heart. At this time, two familiar figures flashed past the glass window of the reception room. Yamagishi Eiichi's eyes lit up, he stood up quickly, and almost trotted out of the reception room: "Shu Yun Mr. Wen, Vice President of Panasonic, hello, it’s really rude of you to come to visit me. I am Eiichi Yamagishi, the agent of Miss Okino Yoko..."
Shu Yunwen smiled and nodded: "Mr. Yamagishi, I remember you. I asked Matsushita-kun to send a business card to Miss Okino Yoko, but you took the business card."
"That's right, Lord Yunwen." Yamagishi Eiichi nodded quickly, "I'm sorry, Miss Okino Yoko was too sad at the time. So, if she was rude in any way, please forgive me."
"Mr. Yamagishi, you're too polite. I knew the situation at that time, so why would I be angry? It should be said that under those circumstances, it would be really rude for me to give Miss Okino a business card." After saying this, Shu Yunwen turned around and said to Secretary Anda, who was standing at the back, said, "Anda-kun, please make me a cup of coffee, thank you. By the way, Matsushita-kun, what would you like to drink?"
Matsushita Heisaburo said: "A glass of water is enough."
"Please wait a moment." Adachi Langping nodded and got ready next to him.
Shu Yunwen waved his hand to the anxious-looking Yamagishi Eiichi, motioning him to sit down first, and said with a smile: "Mr. Yamagishi, please sit down and talk. No matter how anxious you are, you are not in a hurry at this moment. You say Right?"
Yamagishi Eiichi said quickly: "No, Mr. Shu Yunwen, Yoko-chan's situation is really dangerous..."
When it came to Okino Yoko's safety, Yamagishi Eiichi didn't care whether he was rude or not. He hurriedly told Okino Yoko's situation in the past three days. In the end, he knelt on the ground, his head touching the ground, and begged: "...So, Master Yunwen, please take action and save Yoko! As long as Yoko-chan can be fine, I, we are willing to pay any price!"
Shu Yunwen smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Yamagishi, what you said seems as if we will make any unreasonable demands... We are a regular spirit removal agency. As long as you pay us, we will definitely help you solve your trouble." .”
Yamagishi Eiichi immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, Lord Yunwen, I was too anxious, so my words were inappropriate, please forgive me."
Shu Yunwen nodded, then picked up the coffee on the table in front of him and took a sip: "Mr. Yamagishi, please allow me to ask, Miss Yoko only sees Fujie Akihiro in the mirror, right?"
What does "just" mean? This is obviously scary, okay?
Yamagishi Eiichi was complaining in his heart and nodded repeatedly: "That's right, Lord Yunwen. I think this is already very dangerous. If this continues, Fujie Akiyoshi's evil spirit will most likely attack Yoko-chan... so , please, Lord Yunwen!"
Shu Yunwen smiled and explained: "Mr. Yamagishi, please rest assured that Miss Yoko will definitely be fine."
After finishing speaking, Shu Yunwen raised his hand and looked at his watch: "It is now two-fifteen. Miss Yoko will definitely not have any problems before twelve o'clock tonight. As for the best time to remove spirits today, it is in the afternoon. Four fifty...so, what do you think, you go back now, we also need to make some preparations for the spirit removal, and we can meet again when the time comes, okay?"
"This, this..." Yamagishi Eiichi hesitated, but after making eye contact with Shu Yunwen, he was afraid that if he disagreed, he would be rejected directly, so he gritted his teeth and agreed, "...Okay. Yunwen-san, this is Yoko-chan. The contact number at the office, and this is the phone number and mobile phone number of Yoko-chan and I. I leave everything to you!"
"Don't worry, I will solve it for you." Shu Yunwen turned around and said, "Ms. Matsushita, please also tell Mr. Yamagishi our copy number."
"Yes, Lord Yunwen."
Matsushita Heisaburo told Yamagishi Eiichi the copying numbers of both people. After a few more polite words, Yamagishi Eiichi stood up, bowed and left in a hurry.
He also needs to go back and make preparations.
In addition, the office needs to be notified of the matter of removing spirits so that the office can be prepared.
If the all-pervasive media knows about this incident and reports it, there will be no adverse effects.
After Yamagishi Eiichi left, Matsushita Heisaburo asked: "Sir Yunwen, Yamagishi-san said that the evil spirit of Fujie Akigi has appeared in the mirror. Can you...can solve it?"
Shu Yunwen curled his lips disdainfully: "Matsushita-kun, do you know what an evil spirit is? Evil spirits are the kind that can appear directly in front of ordinary people and attack. And it is extremely difficult for evil spirits to form. Fujie Akiyoshi has only been dead for three days, and even if he is placed in a place with extremely heavy Yin Qi, it is impossible for him to become an evil spirit."
"... He is just a slightly more powerful newborn ghost now. As for being able to appear in the mirror, it should be just an illusion."
"It's just an illusion?" Heisaburo Matsushita was surprised.
Shu Yunwen nodded: "Didn't Yamagishi Eiichi take Okino Yoko to see a psychiatrist? The psychiatrist was at least right. What they saw was false. What human eyes will see, isn't it? It depends on the eyes, but on the brain. Fujie Akiyoshi's soul power gradually increased due to obsession. At first, it could only affect Okino Yoko, but now even Yamagishi Eiichi is also affected."
"...He didn't appear in the mirror at all. He just used his soul power to influence the brains of Okino Yoko and Yamagishi Eiichi, causing them to create the illusion that Fujie Akiyoshi was in the mirror."
"If he could really appear in the mirror, Okino Yoko and Yamagishi Eiichi would be dead now!"
Evil spirits that can manifest themselves are not something that a new wizard like him can deal with. Even if a ghost wizard has natural restraint against any ghost, he will have to become a junior wizard before he can deal with such evil spirits.
Matsushita Heisaburo opened his mouth and asked no more questions.
Shu Yunwen's answer was really lofty!
Well, he had an unknown feeling.
PS: I feel that this book deviates more and more from the original work. However, I have the final say in the novels I write, that’s how capricious it is~
