After a while, my mobile phone rang, and I stopped and took out my mobile phone to have a look.

The caller ID is [Mr. Tianjin].

That is, the private detective I have been dealing with for several years.

It has been a few months since I last contacted a private investigator, and I was a little stunned when I saw the call from the private investigator, and then I remembered what I asked them to check for me when I contacted the private investigator last time.

At that time, I had just experienced the Akihabara incident and came into contact with things related to curses, so I asked a private detective to help me find out whether there were any strange groups involved behind the various accidents... At that time, I was thinking of following the clues to see Can you find out the conjurer institution.

However, the private detective who has always been very efficient has only spent a long time on this commission, and I already know a lot by myself now.

But it is also understandable.

I put down the half-built cat litter, went into the bedroom to answer the phone, and recharged the phone that was almost dead.

I didn't restrict Xia You to go to any place in the whole house, except my bedroom. Even if I didn't say it, any sensible person would not come in casually.

"Ibuki Sake." I answered the phone and gave my name.

'Miss Ibuki, I'm sorry for the delay. I have already sorted out the materials you need and sent them to your mailbox. You can receive them. 'The dry and crisp voice of the private detective rang on the phone,'What I want to tell you now is another thing. '

I followed the private detective's instructions and opened the computer in the bedroom to receive emails. When I heard him say there was another matter, I asked casually when I opened the email, "What is it?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

'Number 1, is missing. '

My hand paused, a little surprised, "When?"

'Last night, after leaving the bar drunk. "Mr. Tianjin said, "It disappeared from an alley. The tracker we put on No. 1 showed that he stayed in that alley for about 5 minutes, and then disappeared together with the tracker.That alley is a dead end. '

I frowned, unconsciously pinched the mouse and tapped on the desktop.

The number 1, 2, and 3 that the private detectives refer to represent the people who I found out at the time and took the lead in bullying Ryoko.

Even now that I know that everything Ryoko encountered was manipulated by someone in the magic world, and that the school was placed with a curse object [Shexiang Bhikkhu Bone] that can strengthen evil thoughts, but evil thoughts did not arise out of thin air, what those people did Everything about it is not something that can be erased by a simple 'curse effect'.

The malice is real, and so is the harm done to Ryoko.

In fact, when I found these people at the beginning, I wanted to send them down several times to apologize to Ryoko on my knees.

Then I changed my mind.

After I made my first money, I hired private investigators to monitor these three people for five years, and I retaliated by means that can be called very despicable.

Let them be impoverished, and when there is little improvement, they will immediately fall into a worse trough. They cannot find a job, lose everything they have gained, and gradually distance themselves from their relatives and friends.

With such little bits of despair, they pushed them step by step towards the end of suicide.

This is the ending I wrote for them.

It was originally like this.

I held the hand of the mouse and stopped tapping, opened the email sent by the private detective steadily, and swiped to roughly browse it, "It's okay, look for a week, if you can't find it, forget it, keep an eye on the other emails." Just two of you."

I suspect it has something to do with the person who placed the 【Shexiang Bichu Bone】in Ryoko's high school.

But this is just a guess now, only one person is missing now, and it may be involved in other things.If the other two people are also missing, it can be concluded that it is related to what happened to Ryoko back then.

Thinking of this, I said to the private detective, "In this way, if possible, we can install a micro-surveillance outside that alley to see if any passers-by will disappear after walking into that alley."

The private detective on the other end of the phone answered, and I deftly transferred a sum of money to their account.

At this time, I have browsed through half of the email list sent to me by Mr. Tianjin.

Although this email came a few months late, I don’t have to say anything about the details. The details make me suspect that they stole the textbooks of the High School of Conjuration...Although I already have one at home that can be used as a textbook. people.

Or is it also possible that their private detective agency is an insider in the magic world?All in all, this information is quite worth the money I spent.

I gladly copied all the emails and stored them on my computer.

The private detective on the other end of the phone was probably because I sent a large amount of money this time, after receiving the money, he was silent for a while and asked in a more sincere and serious tone, "Miss Ibuki, do you have anything else to check? ?”

something else...

I braced my chin and thought about it for a while, and a word that the curser said when Xia You's phantom appeared on the train before suddenly flashed through my mind.

I remember that the curse master was talking about...Pan Xing Sect or Astrolabe Sect?

It seems to be the Panxing religion.

I just said this casually, "Then help me check the Pan Xing Sect. If you don't have this thing, check the Astrolabe Sect. I can't remember which one it is."

The private detective didn't hang up the phone, there was a faint sound of typing on the keyboard, and he replied to me a few minutes later, "There's no need to search for this, I found it." '

"Huh?" I was very surprised.

'This Panxingjiao has an official website on the Internet, but it is encrypted, and a special account is required to enter. The private detective said, "But this website does not seem to be maintained by dedicated programmers, and it is easy to hack into it." '

This is something I didn't think of either.

I fell silent for a while, not knowing how to answer to better express my delicate mood, and after a while I said, "That's very convenient, what do they do?"

'It is a church that has a close relationship with many rich people. To join the church, you must be recommended by the original Panxing believers before you can join. There will be a review before joining...There will be regular meetings, and it seems that there are many times during the meeting There have been accidents, the lights on it fell down and killed people... It seems that they have been reported as scams by the elderly, but no one has dealt with it. After the private detective narrated the above words, he defined it, "It must be a cult." '

No, the first thing I thought of after listening to it was not a cult, but a pyramid scheme.

I thought for a while and continued, "Then you can find another person for me. His name is Xia Youjie. Find out what relationship he has with this organization."

So the private detective did another operation, and finally gave me an answer, "The registrant of Panxingjiao is an entrepreneur named Zhongpingyang. Miss Yibuki, the Xia Youjie you mentioned is the legal representative of Panxingjiao." , but at the same time he is also the actual leader of the Panxing Sect. '

While talking, the private detective also sent me a photo that I didn't know where I took it. The image in the photo is far from the image of Xia Youjie I have seen.

Because the image of Xia Youjie I have seen, the most classic one is that the hair is all tied into a ball head, the school uniform of the Conjuration College is black, and the school uniform is paired with very individual bloomers, and then it was given by the principal of the Conjuration College last time. The man who wears the spell.

As for Xia Youjie in this photo, he was wearing the kind of loose cassock that he had taken out of Ugly Treasure's space, with a fake and cold smile on his face, he didn't look like a good person.

According to what the private detective said, he is the legal representative of the Panxing Sect and the actual leader...

So, Xia You is the head of the cult?

Or the MLM boss?

...

I'm not even surprised.

After asking a few other things, I ended the conversation with the private detective, put down my phone, put it here to charge, and then walked out of the room to continue building the cat bed.

When I walked out, all I saw was a short-handed, short-footed, black-haired ball-headed man squatting in front of the half-built cat litter, stretching out his short hands to compact the hollow in the middle, and then pulling He took out a piece of soft cloth, stood up and shook it out, and spread it on the cat's litter. After spreading it, he patted it twice with satisfaction and turned around.

Except for his similar face and hairstyle, he didn't look like the cult leader who was smiling falsely and coldly.

[What's wrong, did something happen? ]

Seeing that I came out after answering the phone, Xia You stood there still, walked over a few steps with small steps, then raised her head slightly to look at my face and asked.

I lowered my eyes and briefly told the story about the disappearance of the man who was monitored by the private detective after walking into the alley.

[Well, it is indeed possible that the curse did it. ] Xia Youjie put his hands on his chin and thought, [If you are very concerned, we can go over and have a look, if it is a curse, it will definitely leave filth. ]

"No need." I suddenly relaxed, smiled, walked over to adjust the angle of the other half of the cat litter that Xia You had built, and then went out to bring in the general, the puppet cat and the cat again, and let the puppet cat Recognize the nest built for her.

By the way, he stopped the general, and the silly dog ​​general followed him to the puppet cat's cat nest.

"That person is not worth my trip, let's talk about it if the other two are also missing." I said so irresponsibly.As for the matter of Xia You, the matter of Pan Xing Sect... Didn't I have been taken in a long time ago, wasn't it the psychological preparation of a good person?Now that he hasn't recovered his memory, it's useless to say these things, let's wait until he recovers his memory.

"Compared to this, I plan to go fishing in a few days on Sunday, do you want to go together?"

[Where to go fishing? ]

"Enoshima."
