The photo is a very old black-and-white photo, of a man in his thirties who looks elegant and wearing glasses, and a handsome young man in his early twenties.

"I found the photo here." Sakai pointed to the man wearing retro glasses in the photo, "This is my great-grandfather, Toshiya Sakai. When my grandfather was still alive, I also saw photos of my great-grandfather at his place.

"

"Your great-grandfather?"

Toyoshima knows something about Sakai's family.

Sakai's great-grandfather, Toshiya Sakai, was a... how should I put it, a folklorist from the old days?

It is said that Sakai Etoshi disappeared together with one of his assistant students when he was in his thirties, and there has been no news about him since.

Then it was the great-grandmother of the Sakai family who raised Grandfather Sakai who was still young at the time.

"My great-grandfather came here before he disappeared, the village of Tsuchimikado. And this, I just found it-" Sakai Yuri opened the manuscript papers, "This seems to be left by my great-grandfather. He

It recorded the cruel and inhumane folk rituals in this village."

[Tsuchimikado]

[... From the Tsuchimikado clan, there are onmyojis who occasionally come to Kyoto for activities.]

[In the village, apart from the Tsuchimikado clan, there are also Tachibana, Kawai, Takehara and other families, all of whom are branches of the Tsuchimikado family. The hierarchy in the village is strict, except for a few members of the family, the rest of the villagers are not allowed to go out. Tsuchimikado

The village has been isolated from the world for many years...]

[Amado Shaman Festival]

[The Tsuchimikado family controls village festivals and selects a girl from the village every five years to become an Amado shrine maiden. The selected shrine maiden will become a living sacrifice at the Tendo shrine maiden festival. The specific details are unknown.

But it is speculated that the ritual process was extremely bloody, ignorant and cruel.]

[It has been half a month since I entered the village with my assistant Kanemaru Shizuji, and we had not learned about the content of the shaman festival before. Late next month is suspected to be the starting point for the Tendo shaman festival...]

[Amado Bronze Mirror]

[The ritual utensils used in the witchcraft festival have been kept by the head of the Tsuchimikado family for generations. It is said to be a spiritual creature that suppresses evil spirits and protects the village here...]

[...Before the Tendo Shaman Festival begins, the bronze mirror ritual vessel and the selected shrine maiden will be used to wash the obscurities in the Wanxi Pond to the west of the village.]

What Yuri Sakai found was that the contents of her great-grandfather's notes were not complete, so they were fragmented, with information skipping around and unclear words.

"Well, Taito. I don't know what happened in this village, but we all saw that there are real ghosts wandering here. So this 'Amado Bronze Mirror' recorded by my great-grandfather is probably something that can really suppress ghosts.

."

Yuri Sakai points to the content related to the "Amado Bronze Mirror".

"If we find this bronze mirror, maybe we can leave safely?" Teto Toshima followed his girlfriend's thoughts, "Let's go and see that Wanxi Pond?"

"Although I'm not sure, I think so."

"Then let's do it now..."

Teito Toshima wanted to take his girlfriend and leave now, but then he realized belatedly that Yuri Sakai was in something very wrong.

Her face was pale, there was cold sweat on her forehead, and her body was shaking constantly.

Toshima raised his hand to touch Sakai, then withdrew his hand with a worried look on his face: "You have a fever? Your forehead is so hot."

"Well……"

Probably because she had been trapped in this strange village for too long, without any decent food and water supplies, and because she had been frightened all the time, Sakai Yuri became very ill.

Just now she was able to pull Teto Toshima in from the door. She must have mustered up her energy and tried her best.

"The ghosts outside didn't come in directly, so it's probably safer here than outside. Yuri, wait for me here, I'll go get that Amado Mirror back, and then we'll leave together." Teito Toshima quickly made a judgment.

"Wait for me, Xi Li. Wait for me to come back to you."

…

This is the end of this channeling episode.

It contains a lot of information, but it all poured into Onitsuka's mind in an instant.

With the strength of the little witch's spiritual power, this level of information can be easily absorbed.

"Toshima Taito and Sakai Yuri reunited here."

"The Tsuchimikado family...the ritual of sacrificial maiden...the Amado Bronze Mirror..."

With the help of clues obtained through channeling, the little miko obtained a lot of information. The fog in Tsuchimikado Village was lifted a little, but a deeper darkness seemed to be exposed from it.

"Amado Bronze Mirror, is this what Achuan and I are looking for?"

Onizuka's exploration is going well so far, and she plans to visit the west side of the village.

Thirty years ago, Teto Toshima probably went there after finding his girlfriend.

Before setting off to find the bronze mirror, the little miko explored the Tachibana family house again, but unfortunately she found nothing.

The black-and-white photos I saw during the channeling process and the incomplete manuscripts of Toshiya Sakai are not here.

"Go and see the west side."

Compared to Toshima and Sakai who were once trapped in Tsuchimikado Village, the little miko can move freely in the village. For this ordinary couple, any undead wandering here is enough to kill them.

But the little witch had a smooth journey and only encountered sporadic enemies. In other words, it only cost one talisman paper, not even the talisman paper, to directly ignite things that could be solved with a touch of spiritual power.

Soon, she arrived at the west side of the village.

And found a deep and quiet pool. The edge of the pool was surrounded by a continuous rope, and there were many rusty bells hanging on it.

Stepping here, Onizuka felt something again.

There are undead spirits here.

And the obsession and resentment are very strong.

Clang clang clang!

The cold wind mixed with resentment stirred Onizuka's shrine maiden uniform, the continuous rope beside the zodiac pond swayed, and the bells rang loudly.

Ahead, a twisted figure wearing a thin jacket and covered in blood appeared.

"Xi Li...Xi Li..." The figure lowered his head and murmured unconsciously.

Toshima Taito.

It's not the psychic traces he left behind that I saw before.

It's the undead spirit that lingers here that he can't get rid of.

It seems...

Thirty years ago, Toshima Taito, who wanted to save his lover, died in front of the Wanxi Pond.
