cat's revenge

"Sorry, I'm really sorry for causing you so much trouble."

Yuki knelt on the bed, pressed the ear of the plane and apologized pitifully.

"That's right, Dad, I'm trying my best to help Yuki-chan solve the problem!" Gojo Satoru folded his arms unconsciously and said boldly.

"No, most of the problems will be solved faster without you." Nanami complained mercilessly, and then turned to Yukidao, "No need to do this, the most important thing now is to solve your problems first."

Yuki showed a troubled expression: "I don't seem to be able to control myself... I want to solve it..." Just like when she smelled catnip before, she basically couldn't control her behavior.

She wasn't ignorant, though, that this would suddenly happen to her.

"However, I remember that I just had a very strange dream." Yuki folded her hands on her lap, kept kneeling on the bed and raised her head, frowning and thinking hard.

She remembered the sound of bells, women's laughter, weeping, long corridors, and wooden fences like birdcages in the dream. She walked between her white ankles, raised her head, and saw ambiguous On the face, what smelled was the choking smell of smoke, and all kinds of inferior, headache-inducing aroma of gouache.

This is a hell for girls, a cage for beauty, and a hunting ground for money.

"Also, when I was watching the fireworks, I did hear the sobbing of a girl in that shrine."

After listening to Yuki's description, Gojo Satoru put his hand on his chin and thought for a while: "The shrine enshrines only 'Dr. Tachibana', which is a very famous oiran in the Edo period. They do keep cats under their skirts for warmth, that's why Yuki can hear voices, but Nanami and I can't hear them at all." This is the so-called "bondage", right?

"So, Yuki-chan suddenly posted..." Wujo Wujo was halfway through speaking, but he saw Yuki glaring at him with an expression of "If you continue talking, I will kill you first and then go to Zisha".

"Well, that's what happened anyway, does it have something to do with the wraiths enshrined in the shrine? This is very interesting." The strongest guy even issued an "interesting" declaration with a face of nothing to do with himself.

Qihai pushed his glasses: "Go and see after dawn."

According to the current situation, although Gojo Satoru has a bad personality, if he really noticed something, he would never let things develop to this point.

In addition, I was also on the side at the time, but Yuki was the only one affected by the three people, that is to say——is the condition of "bondage" a "cat" or a "girl"?

Yuki didn't dare to sleep anymore, until it was almost dawn, she wrapped herself in a quilt and crawled on the bed for a while, which relieved her drowsiness a little.

As for Gojo Satoru, this guy fell asleep while sitting on a chair with his arms folded, and left all the work to the reliable Nanami.

Seven Seas:  …

He hates working overtime.

He even hated being dragged up to work overtime during public holidays.

He stared at the information in the computer, and sighed for an unknown number of times in this restless night.

When Yu Ji woke up, it happened that the first ray of sunlight from the outside sun came in and landed on her pillow. The girl opened her eyes and blinked as if to adapt to the sunlight.

"Oh, I'm awake." Jianren Qihai, who was drinking coffee at the computer desk, turned his chair, raised Erlang's legs and turned his head to look at her.

Probably because in the room, there is no need to block the line of sight to prevent the magic spirit from finding out and attacking suddenly, he took off his glasses so that...

"Master Qihai, the dark circles under her eyes are so thick."

Seven Seas:  …

I don't even think about whose fault it is.

He reached out and knocked on the computer next to him: "This is all the relevant information that can be found so far."

"What information?" Yuki's mind flicked for a moment, and then he remembered what happened before he fell asleep in a daze last night, so Dogeza almost subconsciously said, "I'm sorry to trouble you Already!"

Seven Seas:  …

What the hell is going on with this kid, Tuxiaza is more proficient than social animals.

He rubbed his Jingming acupoint, stood up and gave the seat to Yuki, and moved to the edge of the table: "About that shrine, I'm really curious, why no one noticed this kind of thing before." He His finger pressed the Enter key, and a completed and perfect file jumped out.

Yuki sat on the chair, her brows gradually furrowed as she read the materials.

This small town, known for its tourism, hot springs, and shrine festivals, began to report the disappearance of single women who came to travel many years ago, but it did not cause much reaction. After all, they come here every year The number of tourists here can exceed 1000 million people, and if one or two people are missing, it will not attract much attention.

What's more, one person a year, such a "long stream" of disappearances, is very close to not being a "curse" but...

"Is it a 'sacrifice'?" Gojo Satoru's voice cut in from the side, startling Yuki.I don't know when he woke up.

"No. 1 possible victim probably goes back 20 years."

Yuki set her eyes on the yellowed photo of a woman named "Miko Kobayashi".

"There is no body, no follow-up, the age of the victims ranges from 15 to 30 years old, the age range is extremely large, and they are all single women who came to travel." Qihai folded his arms and took another sip of coffee—he was not sweet Party, drinking coffee is mainly based on refreshing clear coffee.

If it were Gojo Satoru, this cup of coffee would have turned into sweet milk now.

"In addition, if there is really an element of 'sacrifice' in it, it is very possible that the 'windows' did not discover it in time and report it." And one a year, considering the current level of curse activity in Japan, this This frequency is not too frequent, and it is very likely to be treated as an ordinary disappearance case.

"What's wrong?" Nanami asked casually, noticing that Yuki's expression was a bit lonely.

"It's been 20 years..." Yu Ji raised his head and looked at Jianren Qihai, "Are this person's parents still alive?"

For 20 years, my daughter has been missing, no one is alive, no one is dead, no dead body, it must be very sad.

The latter drank the coffee in the cup: "I have asked 'window' to investigate, and there will be a reply soon."

"Really?" Yuki squeezed the corner of her skirt with some discomfort.

"Just say what you want." Although the attitude may appear too serious when facing the younger generation, but after all, the other party is an underage girl, even Nanami, her attitude will be slightly relaxed, and she will try not to be so rigid.

"'Window', what is it?" Yuki raised his hand in embarrassment and asked.

Seven Seas:  …

He looked at Gojo Satoru, who was not paying attention to major matters: "Didn't you tell this child?"

Gojo Satoru: Huh?Didn't I say that? "

Qihai rested her forehead with one hand, and sighed helplessly again.

He really thought too much of counting on this guy to take care of him.

"I'll explain it to you later." He said to Yuki.

Yuki: "Oh, oh..."

"Oh, it's so reliable to have Qihai here this time." Gojo clapped his hands, put one hand over Yuki's head, put his hand on the table, and flipped down the information with the space bar, "Whether it's missing women The age, job, time of disappearance, or characteristics are all very broad, and it seems to be a random selection of 'sacrifices'." If there is any commonality, it is that the missing women are all beautiful.

But the fact that it is beautiful cannot be used as a "reference value".

While Yuki and Gojo Satoru were researching the information on possible victims, Nanami's phone rang, and he got up and walked to the side near the window.

Yuki's ears are so sensitive that she can hear some of their conversations.

That is, the reason why no one has noticed the strange disappearance of women is happening here in the past 20 years.

But after the two finished exchanging information, Qi Hai suddenly said, "There is something I would like to ask you to confirm."

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to respect Qihai very much. From the attitude of using honorifics throughout the speech, coupled with the cautious tone, Yuki could almost make up the expression of nodding and bowing from the heart on the other side: "Please say Come on, I will definitely fulfill your entrustment!"

"The first victim of the shrine incident, that is, Miko Kobayashi, are her parents still alive? Please help me investigate this matter... No, it is a little personal request of mine, please trouble you, and I will ask you later You have a drink."

After exchanging information with the person on the other end of the phone, Jianren Qihai hung up the phone and stepped forward to share the information he got from the "window": "Mr. Gojo, there are no reports of missing women. "

If you rashly think that the "curse spirit" chooses the "sacrifice" independently, you may fall into the trap of thinking.

Before he finished speaking, he noticed that the other party looked at him with a "Nanami is so cunning" expression on his cheek.

Seven seas: eye twitch jpg

So he decided to ignore the other party's expression of being cute and finding fault, and directly brought the topic on the right track: "So, it is difficult to determine whether the other party has affected Li Hualuo because of Li Hualuo's characteristic of 'cat', or simply put Li Hualuo on the right track. Luo was chosen as a 'sacrifice'."

"But anyway, the fact that I had a connection with that shrine is a 'fact', so I want to take a look." Yuki finally sorted out the information, stood up and clenched her fists, and boldly published own opinion.

"If you can get in touch with the 'curse' in that shrine, whether it's as a 'sacrifice' or a 'cat', for those possible victims, it is the only chance to get revenge in the past 20 years Isn't it?"

Her eyes are bright and clean, as if there is no trace of haze.

Like the autumn sky.

Jianren Qihai folded his arms, his lips were tightly pursed into a line, and he suddenly asked the five beside him: "What is the child's rating?"

Five: "?"

A crossroads popped up on Qihai's forehead, and she turned to ask Yuki: "What is your current rating?"

Sure enough, he got Yuki a "cat question mark jpg"

Seven Seas:  …

Knew it.

He quit.

So Gojo Satoru, what did you teach this kid? !Doesn't this basically teach nothing? !ah? !
