By the time Yuan returned to the White Fox Law Firm, it was already the next morning.
Stepping into the office on the second floor…
He saw Iwanaga Kotoko yawning and tidying up the information listlessly. Beside her were Kasugano Dome and Ogisu Yukari, who were assisting her in her work under her command.
"Director, you're back."
Upon seeing Yuanyumo return, Ishinaga Kotoko and the others stopped what they were doing.
"Did anything unusual happen yesterday?”
Yuan asked.
Xiao Mu and Zeng Xuecai shook their heads and said,""I don't feel anything here. I didn't have that terrifying nightmare last night either.”Perhaps because she had a good night's rest and wasn't disturbed by nightmares, she looked more energetic than yesterday.
" It seems like it's as expected. The White Fox Firm's barrier and seal have blocked its effects on you.”
"Director, did you find any useful clues after staying out all night?”
Kotoko Ishinaga continued to process the information she had collected.
"There are clues."
After that, Yuan recounted everything that had happened last night, including her encounter with Winter Horse and Saha, the mysterious hairpin, the ghost servant, and the anomaly in the park.
"Fuyuma and Sa are quite bold.”
Iwanaga Kotoko did not know whether she should call him a brawny fool or a reckless fool. Compared to Kogi Sengsai, whom she was not familiar with, she knew Fuyuma Kazuma better. After all, the two of them were classmates, just like Yuanyumo and Kogi Sengsai.
"…Hesha."
On the other hand, when Xiao Mu and Zeng Xuecai heard about Dong Ma and Sha, they fell silent.
"What about you?"
" The information has been sorted out. There are indeed many strange places. Among them, there is the mysterious disappearance of Masayoshi Kuda, who is now suspicious. She may be an indispensable part of the entire supernatural incident.”
"What did you find?"
After hearing Kotoko Ishinaga's words, Yuanyumo knew that she must have found some important clues, so she could not help but listen carefully.
"This is the name list that was carved in blood on the wall of the room that was rented by Masayoshi Kuda.”
After saying that, she handed a photo to Yuanyumo.
Yuan took a look.
The background of the photo was a dark and dirty bedroom. All kinds of garbage were thrown everywhere. There were even takeaway leftovers on the floor that had not been processed for an unknown period of time. They were already covered with all kinds of flies and maggots. One could completely imagine the messy life of the residents.
In the next second, Yuan's attention was drawn to the middle of the photo. It was the 'name list' that Iwanaga Kotoko had mentioned.
Damn it-you all deserve to die-I curse you all-be eaten by that wedding tree-eat-eat-die…
Ayatou Kaoko, Shukamatsu Ryoko, Kamatsuka Akiko...
First, he used a small knife to carve a terrifying curse on the wall, followed by a series of names. Moreover, the words on the wall were not written in blood like what Kotoko said. Instead, they were carved with a small knife and then watered with blood.
" What's even stranger is that the names of the students who hanged themselves on the prayer tree at the beginning matched the names drawn by Masayoshi Kuda in the rented room. Even the order was exactly the same.”
" I've also done some research," said Kotomi Iwanaga." Masayoshi Kuda's popularity in the Feng City University Affiliated School is very bad. She's extremely vain and often likes to borrow money without returning it to others. Therefore, most of the people in the class and even the grade don't like her and even isolate her. The names on this list are all people who have more or less interacted with Masayoshi Kuda.”
"There were even some who were good friends with Masayoshi Kuda at the beginning. It was only after her personality was exposed that they slowly drifted apart.”
"Using the Wishing Tree to kill these friends who had once 'betrayed' him, he was also devoured by it.”
All kinds of information and clues were constantly being thought out in Yuan's mind. If this was the case, the whole supernatural incident seemed very reasonable, but there were still many intriguing points. For example, the hairpin that he had sealed that seemed to come from the Heian era, and the name of the wedding tree.
Who told all of this to Masayoshi Kuda?
Yuan did not believe that an ordinary high school student would suddenly step into a supernatural event, even if he would end up suffering a backlash in the end. Most importantly, where was the ghost that Kuda called the wedding tree?
"Are there any other clues?”
Yuan asked.
What he wanted to find now was the prayer tree or the thing called the wedding dress tree. If he did not find it, even if they had thoroughly studied the cause and effect of the entire supernatural incident, this supernatural incident would definitely not end.
"This is the only useful clue we have at the moment. The remaining victims didn't leave any useful information.”
Kotomi Ikenaga shook her head.
Just as Yuan was about to say something, suddenly-
Buzz…
At this moment, Yuan's phone rang. When she opened it, she saw that it was a call from Suzuka of the Dalian Temple. She picked up the call immediately.
"White Fox, I've already sent the dossier of Feng City University's affiliated school to your email.”
"Thank you, Suzuka."
"Don't forget to keep your promise.”
"I know."
Yuan hung up the phone after chatting with Suzuka of the Dalian Temple for a while.
After that, Yuan went to her desk and opened her computer. She then opened her email and started looking for the dossier regarding the supernatural incident at Feng City University's affiliated school. The three girls, Iwanaga Kotoko, Kasugano Dome, and Ogisen Xuecai, also curiously went to the computer screen and looked at it together with Yuan.
Prayer Tree Scroll
July 1st: Feng City University's affiliated school reported that there was a suspected supernatural incident in the Yin Yang Hall. After investigation, it was just a blunder, and it was just an ancient prayer tree...
July 11th: A supernatural incident broke out in the school affiliated to Feng City University…
July 12th: The previous investigation didn't find anything supernatural, but now the wishing tree seemed to have suddenly revived. It was very strange. He suggested to the squad leader to uproot the wishing tree and seal it…
July 13th: The sealing of the Tree of Prayers went very smoothly. There were still many suspicious points in this matter that needed further investigation.
July 19th: The sealed Wishing Tree has disappeared. A national-level Onmyoji has been sent to investigate…
July 20th: An incident occurred on Honshu Island. This supernatural incident was temporarily sealed.
There wasn't much information on the Yin Yang Hall dossier. After a while, they finished reading it.
"That wedding dress tree should be very secretive. Otherwise, the people from Yin Yang Hall would have found some clues during their first investigation. The concealment of the marks on Xiao Mu, Zeng Xuecai, and the others also explains this very well.”
Kotoko Ishinaga concluded.
" It might not be hidden. It might really be as described in the Yin Yang Hall dossier. It's a recent recovery, and the opportunity for recovery is very likely to be the hairpin buried in the park by Kuda Masayoshi.”
Yuan closed the file and said,""The entire supernatural incident has generally surfaced. As for the hidden things, let's not talk about it for now. What we need to do now is to find them.”
"What should we do?"
Xiao Mu and Zeng Xuecai asked with concern.
"I just need you to be the bait. Don't worry, I've already prepared everything.”
"Besides, I know where it is.”
