Traveler, High School Student, Homeless

The man with the still arrogant expression seemed to want to continue insulting with a loud voice.

"Enough, shut up!"

But before that, Kamijou Touma stepped forward, stood beside the boy, and interrupted the man with a rather imposing sentence.

"Huh? Who are you? Is it another—"

A middle-aged man who got angry when he was interrupted.He frowned and wanted to continue talking nonsense.

But almost immediately, Kamijou Touma's eyes changed from normal to dragonlike vertical pupils, so the expression of the man who was aggressive just a second ago suddenly changed, and his mouth became hoarse, unable to say a single word Come on.

If there is one major difference between today's universe and the past, it is that a seemingly ordinary passer-by you meet on the road may literally destroy an entire city or an entire planet.This kind of hidden fierce person is everywhere, so when the other party shows any unusual signs, it is best to admit it and run away, or wait until the other party is really pissed off, and the price paid may not be It's two o'clock.

Realizing that Kamijou Touma in front of him might not be an ordinary person, the man immediately broke out in a cold sweat after being stunned for a moment.

"Sorry, I was wrong!"

The man who shouted like this turned around and ran away, and disappeared after a while.

Just now he looked arrogant, but in the end he just showed the characteristics of Longhua a little bit, this guy just took a look and slipped away without even saying a word.

Kamijou Touma's mouth twitched slightly.

Forget it, that's fine, he really doesn't want to waste time with this kind of rubbish.

Thinking like this, Kamijou Touma turned around and looked at the boy behind him.

"Are you okay, how can you get involved with this kind of guy?"

It only takes a quick glance to understand that this kind of man is a hooligan with low cultural and moral standards and low quality.I do a lot of petty theft, but I can’t do serious crimes if I really want to do it. When dealing with such people in daily life, there will always be times when I feel disgusted. It can be said that the mere existence will disgust other people, and he is a guy who will be looked down upon no matter where he is.

"He's the security guard here."

Different from the indifferent look just now, this young man seems to be very calm now.

"I seem to have been a police officer a few years ago, but I probably relied on my family connections to get a position in the most basic police station. It is the type that can't do much, and may even cause trouble for others. But later because I lost my job and went to jail for some things, and now I can only work as a security guard in this kind of community."

The boy who said this looked up at the mottled buildings in the community.

This community has a history of several decades. The houses look very old, and there are even many signs of falling off the walls. There is no surveillance coverage, and there are only two or three security guards. It seems that the water and electricity settings are also very problematic.But because of this, the rent in this place is very cheap, suitable for wage earners who have no money to live.

Such a place is really not suitable for the boy and students like Kamijou to come and go.

"What did he go to jail for?"

Kamijou Touma, who was thinking like this, asked.

"Leaking the victim's privacy, a girl who has been tortured by her animal father for more than ten years, in this guy's view, is the type to seduce men. At first, he just discussed this matter unscrupulously in his circle of friends, and even The real name was leaked. Later, when collecting evidence, I couldn’t help copying the criminal video taken by the father from the evidence bag, and shared it after watching it.”

"Women are just men's playthings. No matter what they look like, women are just scumbags. Although I am the lowest rotten person that no woman can look up to, I feel that all women in this world are like pigs." Things. Until I was released from prison, I didn’t feel that I had really done anything wrong. Instead, I continued to boast about what I had done. Perhaps many of these were just my own thoughts, but that guy That's probably the kind of person he is."

The young man who said this still had a very calm expression on his face.

I always feel that I regret letting that guy go just now...

After hearing these words, Kamijou Touma had the urge to catch up with the man who ran away just now and beat him up.

"What's even more ridiculous is that the victim was unable to maintain a living due to severe mental illness, unable to work, and could only rent such a dilapidated apartment due to poverty, while the perpetrator was unable to find a formal job after he was released from prison. came to this apartment to act as a security guard."

After taking a deep breath, the boy stroked his hair, then turned to look at Kamijou Touma.

"At least ten days ago, it was still like this."

I don't know how to answer.

Kamijou Touma was silent for a while, only feeling an unusually uncomfortable feeling stuck in his heart.

"You came here to find the victim?"

But after hesitating for a while, Kamijou Touma still spoke.

"Well, she hasn't been to the convenience store where she works for more than ten days. I happened to work with her in a convenience store, so I'm a little concerned about her situation."

Scratching his face, the boy said, and then walked towards the interior of the community.

"To be honest, I'm a little concerned now, so let me take a look together."

Kamijou Touma tried to speak from behind.

"No, she hates and fears men very much. At least I have had contact with her. If a strange man like you appears, she will definitely not open the door. Thank you for the rescue just now. If you are not here, I will probably talk to that bastard. We started fighting, but that's it, we are not familiar friends, so there is no need to get too deep into each other's lives."

The feeling of indifference came out again.

The boy in front of him seemed to be a type used to acting alone, so he walked into one of the unit buildings without saying a word.

However, I don't know if it's an illusion, it seems that for a moment, when I saw the shadow of this young man in the sun, I trembled slightly, as if there was something inside.Moreover, in the breeze blowing past, the boy's hair was lifted a little bit, and Kamijou Touma saw something like a hole bitten out by fangs before he turned his gaze away.

Seems like a very mysterious guy.

Moreover, it seems that they didn't even tell each other's names.

Kamijou Touma, who was thinking like this, turned around and prepared to leave the community.

Jingle Bell--

Kamijou Touma stopped in his tracks, and when he turned around, he seemed to hear a faint, rather distant voice.

Jingle Bell--

Jiang Ming, who opened the door, looked at the wind chime that was ringing slightly beside the door frame.

"Come in, gentlemen."

Suppressing his anxious and sad emotions, Risa Yoshida led Jiang Ming and Virgil into the house, ready to make tea in a hurry.

"Don't be too polite. The matter of your husband's disappearance is the main point. Let's start the investigation directly. Virgil, you can check for any abnormalities in the living room. I'll go to the bedroom and investigate separately. I think the effect will be better. .”

Jiang Ming waved his hand and said, Virgil who followed behind nodded, and went to the living room without saying much.

"I don't mind if we mess up the room a little bit. After all, if supernatural events may be involved, in order to find traces of spiritual fluctuations, it is estimated that a lot of furniture needs to be moved."

Jiang Ming then looked at Risa Yoshida beside him and asked.

"No trouble no trouble, please!"

The woman bowed deeply and said that the overly solemn etiquette made Jiang Ming very uncomfortable, so she simply walked directly to the husband and wife's bedroom.

This is a resident with two bedrooms and one living room. The house is not too big, and the bedroom of Yoshida Take and Yoshida Risa looks very simple.Not too many things are placed.A slightly old double bed is placed in the center of the room, the wardrobe occupies one side of the wall, the bookshelf occupies the other side, and there is a door leading to the balcony opposite the door into the bedroom.

Jiang Ming walked to the bookshelf and found that there were some physical versions of online novels inside, such as "Ma Po Cangsang", "The Royal Sister is Very Tempting" and "The Harem of the Other World" belonged to Jiang Ming. It's very embarrassing, but it's a book for middle-aged people who don't have any writing requirements and just want to read some light-hearted words.

"Your husband, after the disappearance, the mobile phone was found on the balcony, right?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Jiang Ming looked at the woman behind him and asked.

"Well, that's it."

The woman nodded hastily.

Opening the balcony door, Jiang Ming walked to the small balcony with several potted flowers, and looked around.

Because it is living in a high-rise, in order to prevent accidents when raising children, there is a protective fence installed on the sun.The police station who came to investigate afterwards confirmed that the protective fence had not been moved, so the possibility of Yoshida just jumping from the balcony was ruled out.

Closing his eyes, Jiang Ming slowly unfolded his spiritual power.

If there are indeed traces of sneaky activities, you can detect them with your own perception.Ten or so days is not enough to completely dissipate the remaining power of the sneaky thing, especially the power that can directly reduce a living person to such a violent degree.

However, nothing was found.

Although Jiang Ming extended his spiritual power for a considerable distance, and even covered the entire building in the end, he still found nothing.

"Do you still have your husband's cell phone?"

Jiang Ming, who hadn't gained anything, opened his eyes and turned to look at the woman who was nervously waiting beside him.

"It was taken away by the police station as evidence of a suspected sneaky incident. It should be at the ghost exorcism special police agency. Do you want me to call back?"

Yoshida Risa immediately said in a hurry.

"If you can get it back, you'll be damned. I'll go over there and ask for it later."

Jiang Ming had a headache.

These ghost exorcising special police officers can't do anything after they have detained their things, and they don't know whether they will give the firm face or not.If you give it, everyone will talk in a friendly manner. If you don't give it, he can only let Pikachu go, ah, no, let go of Virgil.

While Jiang Ming was annoyed by the lack of progress, Virgil in the living room looked up at the photos on the wall of the living room after releasing his sensory investigation to no avail.

It was a big picture, a big picture stitched together from small pictures.From the couple just getting married, to the birth of the child, growing up a little bit, learning to walk, going to the amusement park, celebrating birthdays, etc., it is a big photo stitched together from bits and pieces.

A slightly overweight middle-aged man, an ordinary woman, and a smiling child in the sun.

No matter who sees such a group of photos, they will definitely feel that this is an extremely happy family, right?

"This game console, I also have one at home."

Xiao Wei's voice sounded from the side.

Virgil turned his head and saw Xiao Wei squatting in front of the cabinet next to the TV. The ghost girl blinked at the cabinet, a red and white game console that looked quite old, and the Pile of FC game cassettes.

Virgil, who doesn't know much about electronic products, came over and stood beside Xiao Wei.

"When my father was still there, he would use this to play games with me, such as Contra, Snowman Brothers, and Squirrel Wars. I'm actually not very good at playing games. Every time I play for a while, I become my father. I played alone, but I still felt very happy, and felt that my father at that time was very powerful and omnipotent."

Xiao Wei, who was talking softly, stretched out her small hand through the glass cabinet and stroked the shell of the game console.

Now that her father was eaten by a mountain god, her mother became insane, and she herself has become a ghost, the little girl can only recall the happy life she had in the past.

"I'm not very good at playing this kind of thing."

Virgil spoke at this moment, his voice was unusually full of indifference.

"But if you want to play, you can ask Jiang Ming to buy one for the office, and you can teach me how to play."

Then, Virgil stretched out his hand and gently touched Xiao Wei's head.

"really?"

The girl turned around in surprise.

"It's limited to you, just treat it as satisfying the child's willfulness."

Virgil, whose expression had returned to normal, spoke casually.

"Thank you uncle!"

The girl cheered softly.

After a while, Jiang Ming, who came out of the bedroom, looked at Virgil with a bad expression, but found that this guy had a smile on his face for some reason.
