It's already the tenth day.

Akane Kirino lies on the floor, looking at the ceiling, her eyes blank.

Since the Hieiyamaguchi evil spirit incident, Soya, Hongko and Lin have been missing for ten days.

For ten days, the police and the witches of the institutions searched all corners of Hiei Mountain, but did not find the sudden disappearance of Soya and Hongko. The bell who left the door that morning has not yet returned.

None of the three people can contact each other.

She has been anxious, crazy, and vented hysterically. Ten days have passed, and she has completely lost her former vitality.

"Where did you go..."

Akane Kirino raised one hand and held it weakly, trying to catch them in her memories and ask clearly.

Ten days ago, the evil spirits attacked the festival venue at Hieiyama Pass, killing dozens of ordinary people, and a team of spiritual enlightened people died in the line of duty. The tragic situation was unprecedented and shocked for a moment.

At that time, in order to find someone she knew earlier, she said goodbye to Hongzi while queuing, first climbed into Liuli Guangyuan, and went straight to Noma Nan and others.

However, several witches from Fuyun Shrine were ordered not to leave, so she had to come out alone. When she returned to the gate of the courtyard, she saw a messy and tragic scene.

The casualties outside the courtyard fell to the ground, and the murderer had not left yet, and he was staring at her again. At the critical moment, a large number of spiritual enlightened people who rushed out of the Liuli Light Courtyard scared the evil spirit away.

She was almost dead and still alive. While secretly being grateful, she could not find Hongzi's traces. Not only that, Zonggu, who was left at the festival venue, also disappeared.

The two disappeared completely, without reading or replying the news, and calling the phone, they could only hear the prompt that the other party was not in the service area.

A large number of police officers rushed over and controlled the entire venue.

Two days later, as the incident came to an end, all those who participated in the festival could see people or bodies, but the two of them were listed as missing persons.

And she could do nothing except ask the police and the witch over and over again.

Dingdong—

“…”

Dingdong—

The doorbell rang a few more times before Kirino Akane came to her senses suddenly, got up and went straight to the door.

"Zonggu!"

However, when I opened the door, it was not Sun Gu standing outside, but the expressionless witch.

"I'm disturbing, Kirino."

"Sister Guanyuan..."

Akane Kirino looked at her blankly.

"Can I go in?" Kyoko said.

"certainly……"

She walked in and said, "I'm rude."

"Senior sister, have you found Sonoya and Hongzi?"

With his back to her, a trace of sorrow flashed across Kyoko's face, and she turned around without hiding it: "I came to see Kirino for this matter."

Akane Kirino opened her eyes wide, "What does it mean?"

"I need something to help me find the traces of Fangming's classmate. Can I go upstairs to his room and take a look?"

"certainly!"

The two walked upstairs, and Akane Kirino turned around and asked, "Is the matter over with the senior sister?"

Kyoko was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"it's over."

The day after the Hiei Yamaguchi incident, several witches from Fuyun Shrine were allowed to leave the Ryuri Hiroin, and then Kyoko learned that Soya had disappeared in the chaos last night.

However, before they could do anything, they were dispatched by institutions to participate in the encirclement and suppression operation. The evil spirits who committed evil deeds at Hiei Yamaguchi were not completely killed, and two of them fled into the forest.

It was not until the afternoon of the previous day that the last fierce spirit was found and killed, and Kyoko was able to withdraw and investigate the disappearance of Soya.

Taking information from the police and colleagues in the agency, she found that the witness records of Zong Gu were all about him fighting against the evil spirits in the ritual venue.

Someone witnessed him saving a girl (Akari Kirino), someone witnessed him lit a stall, which triggered a small explosion, and someone witnessed him and another spiritualist who worked together to kill a murderer.

Ling, then there was no record of it, as if he had disappeared out of thin air after leaving the festival venue.

As for the other missing person, Hongzi, there were even fewer records. Only one person said that she suddenly left here half a minute before the fierce spirit attacked the gate of the yard.

Kyoko continued to investigate and did not learn from a colleague who had just woken up this morning that night that the daughter of the Yellow Springs appeared briefly, and few people noticed it.

Some of the worst guess in her heart suddenly became possible, but she still needed to do something to confirm.

For this reason, she now came to the old house of Kirino.

When I arrived at the second floor, the first room belonged to Chaowuling.

Kyoko looked back at Akane Kirino, "Has Asuki still not come back?"

She nodded.

Kyoko thought about something.

"The bell went out that morning."

"I see."

Akane Kirino walked over quickly and opened the door of Soya's room, "Please come in."

"Thanks."

Kyoko rarely comes to Kirino's house, and it is the first time he has entered the room of Soya. At this time, he has no intention of looking at it, so he leans over and starts searching.

"What are the senior sister looking for?" Akane Kirino asked.

"Hair." Kyoko said, "I need Yoshiaki's hair, the more the better."

She also squatted down to help find it, "What do senior sister want to do with hair?"

"There is a precious talisman paper that is extremely sensitive to spiritual power. It burns with the hair of the spiritual person. By observing the color of the smoke, you can tell the person's status."

Akane Kirino thought for a while, “Is it only useful for the spiritual enlightened person?”

Kyoko understood that she was also very concerned about the whereabouts of her best friend, but she could only tell her regretfully that ordinary people could not leave traces of spiritual power, so they could not detect it.

"All right……"

Akane Kirino was a little disappointed, and then comforted herself: "Hongzi should be with Zong Gu. If you know Zong Gu's condition, it's the same."

Kyoko didn't say anything, nodded, and continued to search on the ground, but she didn't see a single hair falling out for a long time.

She thought for a while and asked, "Where is the pillow of classmate Fangming?"

"Ah, by the way..."

Akane Kirino opened the closet and took out Soya's pillow for her.

Kyoko took it over and saw a few long black hair lying on the white pillow. It was obviously not Soya, but from a girl with long hair.

“…”

The one who handed her the pillow was a girl with long hair.

"Have Kirino used this pillow recently?"

"Ah? Well, I sleep in Soya's room every night."

“…”

Akane Kirino came over, narrowed her eyes and immediately discovered her hair.

"Ah, I'm sorry..."

She twisted her hair, threw it away casually, and found a shorter hair on it, "This one is probably Zong Gu's hair."

Kyoko was silent for a while, raised her hand to take it, took it in her hand and took a few glances.

"That kind of talisman paper is difficult to make and very precious, so I only have one. So, if I get it wrong, there is no second chance."

Akane Kirino grabbed her hand and took the hair back. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that it might be her own hair.

After all, before Zong Gu disappeared, she "exchanged" the room with him. She was the only one who has used this pillow recently.

"Please wait..."

She went to her room next door and took another pillow.

"Before Zong Gu disappeared, he used this pillow."

Kyoko took the pillow and felt a little complicated. She vaguely guessed that the two of them had probably exchanged rooms, but it was not the time to investigate it carefully now.

She picked up four or five hard short hair from above, and Akane Kirino came over and smelled it, "This should be Soya's hair...it smells like him."

Kyoko couldn't help but look at her.

Akane Kirino misunderstood what she meant and thought she still had some doubts, so she said, "I can guarantee it!"
