Mamiya Yuka was a little confused by Kiryu's words.
"How is it possible?" Yuka Mamiya shook her head: "You are here, but Teacher Kirisaki is in the United States. The evil spirit in the dark has no reason to harm Teacher Kirizaki whom he has never met."
"Indeed" Kiryu nodded: "But what if the one who attacks is not an evil spirit?"
"But, we did encounter evil spirits twice just now!" Recalling the evil spirits, Mamiya Yuxiang could not help but tremble.
She really didn't want to experience the scene where she raised her head and met the evil spirit's eyes for a third time.
The evil spirit attacked Yuka Mamiya twice, but ignored himself as a "folklorist Kirizaki Suimei University lecturer". This was very difficult to explain to Kiryu.
If you forcefully tell Mamiya Yuuka what she did to provoke the dissatisfaction of the dark ghost, you can barely explain it, but she is with Kiryu Yiyi almost all the time, so it is difficult to offend anyone.
Therefore, the answer is ready to come out.
The cause of all this may not be evil spirits, but people!
The other party was eyeing Kiryu and Mamiya, perhaps because they were disgusted with the two causing trouble.
"What you see may not be real, and although it is difficult to control evil spirits, it should not be impossible." The reason why Kiryu was so sure was because he remembered another person in Ito Junji's comics who was no less famous than Tomie. characters.
Double one!
A primary school student with a candle tied to his head and an iron nail in his mouth.
Of course, he didn't suspect that Shuang Yi did this. This was a girls' middle school and Shuang Yi couldn't get in at all. It was because of Shuang Yi that he thought of an ability that was not an evil spirit but could achieve the same effect.
curse!
As for why the other party only took action against Mamiya Yuka and not Kiryu, it is actually easy to guess, because he now calls himself "Kirisaki Suimei", a folklorist.
What does your curse on Kirisaki Suimei have to do with me, Kiryu Ichimei?
Kiryu contacted Suimei Kirisaki.
"Yawn~, I'm jet lag, do you know that?"
"Teacher Kirizaki!" Yuka Mamiya came over excitedly.
"Oh, it's Mamiya"
Kirizaki Suimei recognized Mamiya Yuuka with just one sentence. It seemed that the two of them were really familiar with each other.
"You two actually cooperated?" Kirizaki Suimei said: "You have to work hard."
"Yes!" Yuka Mamiya nodded, her appearance completely different from when she played a prank in front of Kiryu.
"Teacher Kirisaki," Kiryu said, deciding to bring the topic back: "I want to ask you, have you ever been attacked by a ghost?"
"ghost……?"
Kirizaki Suimei was confused: "No, what's wrong?"
"Well, here's the thing." Kiryu told Kirisaki Suimei what happened to Asayu High School and Mamiya Yuuka. At this time, it was still a test of the degree of folklore knowledge accumulation.
After listening to Kiryu's words, Kirizaki Suimei was silent for a while, "...Maybe it's because he's disgusted with the charm."
"Disgusted with charm?"
"I know!" Yuka Mamiya said excitedly: "It's like driving nails into a scarecrow. It's an ancient spell."
Kiryu Yiyi thought of someone again, Shuangyi!
I wonder if I could learn from Shuangyi if I met him?
"You're right." Kirizaki Suimei sounded tired, probably due to jet lag: "Driving nails on the straw dolls to curse them comes from Onmyodo. In Onmyodo, there are two methods of cursing. One is called disgusting charm, and the other is called insect poison. The disgusting charm is to use puppets or items on the opponent's body to release curses, while insect poison is to kill creatures and use the soul of resentment to curse the opponent. "
“Yin Yang Tao originated from China as early as possible, and evil spirits and insect poisons are also ancient spells passed down from China... Combining the ideas of Yin Yang Bagua and various ancient spells, the final mixture is the Japanese Yin Yang Tao, like It’s what Mamiya said, that by driving nails into the doll’s body and asking gods or spirits to curse the target, this is called hanmei.”
After Kirizaki Suimei said a long sentence, he paused for a while, and you could hear him drinking water and taking a rest.
"The charm must be close to the cursed person to take effect, so even if the other party curses with the name "Kirisaki Suimei", it will not affect me on the other side of the ocean."
"That's right." Kiryu nodded.
This is why Mamiya Yuuka was cursed, but neither she nor Kirizaki Suimei was cursed. It is actually very simple to find out whether there is someone who knows the magic behind the scenes.
All you need to do is find the puppet you need for "disenchantment".
After hanging up the phone, Kiryu looked at Mamiya: "Mamiya, let's split up."
"Yeah!" She understood what Kiryu meant.
The two of them went to the location where strange stories had happened. After careful search, they saw a wooden sign carved in the shape of a human being.
This thing is very hidden, and it's actually not difficult to find. However, Kiryu, who originally had the idea of looking for ghosts, would subconsciously ignore these things.
When the two met, they were holding many wooden puppets in their hands.
For example, in the "Devil's Chair", there are puppets stuck with tape.
There is also an athletics department.
"Even if we know it's Yanmei, it's still impossible to catch a certain queen's mastermind." Mamiya looked at the red clouds on the horizon and felt a little discouraged.
As long as they don't find the person behind the curse, it will be useless no matter how much they find. The other party can continue to write and draw.
"It's very simple," Kiryu said. "As long as we focus on who knows our two names, we can roughly catch him."
"What are you going to do?"
Kiryu came close to Mamiya Yuxiang's ear. Mamiya was startled by his action and subconsciously hid back. After realizing that he was thinking too much, he stuck out his tongue and came closer to Kiryu.
After the conversation, Mamiya left.
seven o 'clock.
Small conference room.
Kiryu and Mamiya were sitting on chairs, and soon there was a knock on the door.
The person who walked in was Ito Kiyomi.
"Excuse me, is it true that you found the reason?" Ito Kiyomi asked.
"That's right" Kiryu nodded: "Please sit down first, others will come later."
"Oh, okay" Ito Kiyomi nodded and sat on a chair nearby.
After a while.
"Excuse me~" The person who came in was Kasai Chiaki. After she entered, she sat on a chair and pretended to be an ostrich.
"Excuse me……"
"There's one more person, please wait."
The third visitor surprised the two female students.
"Teacher Usasa?"
"Teacher Hui?"
The two sat up straight.
"Excuse me, why did you come here specifically for me?" Teacher Usasa Megumi asked gently after sitting down.
"I already know who is the mastermind behind Asayu High School becoming like this." Kiryu said seriously.
pity!
Looking at the surprised expressions of the three women in front of him, Kiryu sighed secretly in his heart. Maybe the chuuni bow tie should be left on, otherwise the atmosphere would always feel inadequate.
The sound of closing and opening doors is also missing.
But it is indeed time to reveal the answer, and we can only strive to do better next time.
