At the devil's hour, the sky was dark and a mysterious atmosphere filled the grove. Officer Suzuki held the shovel tightly, his eyes firm and focused, and under the guidance of Kunimitsu Tezuka, he began to dig the ground. His movements were powerful and cautious, and every time the shovel was raised and lowered, it seemed to reveal an unknown secret.

Not far away, Liu Lingyin was like a vigilant little deer, hiding behind a thick tree, quietly observing everything. Her eyes revealed tension and curiosity, she was worried about being discovered, but also eager to know what would happen next.

After instructing Officer Suzuki, Tezuka Kunimitsu stood aside and watched Suzuki digging alone, feeling a little embarrassed. He shouldn't have just followed Liu Lingyin's words and mumbled along.

As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." He was also greatly influenced by it.

So he decided to walk over to Yanagi Suzune so that his presence would not inconvenience Officer Suzuki.

As for whether he was affected by the strong stench that hit him as the soil was gradually dug up, only Tezuka knew.

The stench that hits you in the face is almost unbearable, making you want to feel nauseous and vomit.

Despite this, Officer Suzuki still persisted, and his figure seemed particularly lonely in the dim woods. Liu Lingyin and Tezuka Kunimitsu watched silently from a distance, and they also felt a little sympathy for Officer Suzuki.

After all, it was the two of them who came to the conclusion that only Officer Suzuki was 'harmed'.

As for why Liu Lingyin didn't call the police, please, they didn't even dig up the land, so they didn't know what was buried there.

Should we call the police just because a piece of land smells bad? I don't know if the police will accept the report.

After seeing the ghost face, Liu Lingyin was 70% certain that there was definitely a big problem there.

But she didn't dare to dig!

Since nothing has been dug out yet and the outcome is unknown, should she call the police and say that she suspects a body is buried here?

As a result, she was probably either treated as a suspect or forcibly sent to the hospital!

So, just find someone to help!

As for Officer Suzuki, he is solely responsible for the matter. If the things dug up really need the police, he will be the police, which is convenient.

If what is dug up does not require the police, he will treat it as an elder or a friend coming to help, and any result will be convenient.

....................................

The result of the investigation was that Tezuka and Yanagi Suzune were invited to have tea and take statements.

However, they only found some suspicious places, and even the digging was done by police officers, so the record was completed quickly.

As for the plan they had made before to have dinner together, Liu Lingyin unilaterally canceled it. After all, after seeing that horrifying scene, Liu Lingyin had no appetite at all.

She just wanted to go home and sleep.

The two walked towards the bus stop together.

"Tezuka, do you have the amulet I gave you with you?"

"Ok!"

"You keep it and make sure you carry it with you."

"Your reaction is strange today, did you see something?"

"..." Liu Lingyin was silent for a moment and then asked instead: "I said, I saw a ghost, do you believe it?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu turned his head and looked at Liu Lingyin, then looked directly into her eyes and said seriously: "As long as you say it, I will believe it."

When Liu Lingyin heard this, the slightly nervous and gloomy mood in her heart due to the ghost encounter today seemed to be blown away by a spring breeze, and instantly became bright and open.

Her bright almond eyes sparkled with joy, and the corners of her mouth turned up, outlining a curved arc, as beautiful as a crescent moon. This smile was like a flower blooming in spring, and like the warm sun in winter.

"Thank you! Tezuka." Thank you for your trust.

"Don't be careless."

"Haha! Okay, I'll pay attention."

At this moment, the afterglow of the setting sun fell on her face, adding a layer of light golden glow to it. The brilliant smile and the soft sunlight set off each other, warm and gorgeous.

Tezuka slowly shifted his gaze away, his face still expressionless, but the pair of phoenix eyes beneath the glasses hid the seriousness and instead had a hint of gentleness that was barely noticeable.

When the two returned home, one was questioned again by his elders, and the other was given a warm hug of love.

"Xiaoyin~Didn't you say you were going to eat out? How come you're back so soon? Did you really eat out?"

Chiharu Sakaki, who was still reading a script in the living room, saw Liu Lingyin walk in. She stood up and gave Liu Lingyin a loving hug before asking with concern.

"Mother Chiharu, I had some snacks outside. I'm not hungry at the moment, so I didn't eat."

"Then eat at home with mom and dad later! What do you want to eat? I'll ask the housekeeper to tell the chef to make you one."

Liu Lingyin, who really had no appetite at all, shook her head and said, "No, no. I'm not hungry yet and I really can't eat. You don't have to cook for me. I can just make whatever I want to eat later."

"How can you do that? You're still growing, you can't go hungry."

"Mother Qianchun, I really can't eat right now. How about you ask someone to make me a light soup, and then I'll eat it myself later when I'm hungry. What do you think?"

"Okay, okay...I'll arrange it right away!"

"Thank you Chiharu-mama! Muma!"

"Go, go, go... Go upstairs quickly, take a shower, and review your lessons. In the study, there are review materials that your father Sakaki brought back from your Chinese teacher in the Ice Empire. Take them and review them carefully."

Liu Lingyin deliberately acted like a spoiled child, which amused Sakaki Chiharu, so she stopped asking Liu Lingyin and pushed her to take a shower and study. After all, the final exam was coming up! She still had to review more, because she knew that Liu Lingyin's Chinese was only one step away from failing.

"Oh! I see..."

Liu Lingyin went upstairs to her room, took a shower, changed into a set of home clothes, and then ran to the study to look at the review materials full of fatherly love.

But as Liu Lingyin was reading the information, her thoughts were affected by today - they flew away!

There was only one thought left in my mind, which was to visit the temples or shrines here when I had time.

There really are supernatural events in this world. She wonders how the witches and monks here deal with them. She is quite curious.

And she also needs to practice drawing talismans more. This time she needs to draw more targeted attack talismans and life-saving talismans.

Even those skills related to charlatans need to be practiced more.

Practice makes perfect, doesn’t it?

Draw more talismans and make more life-saving amulets. It doesn’t matter what they are, as long as they can be used and are easy to use.

After all, the more life-saving things you have, the better!
