"A hairpin from a thousand years ago."
Yuanyumo stared at the hairpin that she had taken from Kotoko Ishinaga. She then took out a talisman and removed the seal on it. In an instant, an identical hairpin appeared in her hand. This hairpin was the same one that she had dug out from the park area of the school affiliated to Feng City University during the wedding dress tree incident.
It was suspected to be a tribute from the nobles and even the royal family a thousand years ago.
From the patterns carved, to the exquisite craftsmanship, and even some of the details, it was obvious that they were all made by the same skilled craftsman. There was a special aura attached to them and that inexplicable sense of déjà vu. Until now, he did not know where this sense of déjà vu came from.
"Director, this was discovered by the Chuanye Law Firm in a case of the mysterious wood spirits. It's also the only useful thing they obtained.”
Kotomi Ikenaga explained.
"Chuan Ye Law Firm."
Yuan had some impression of this supernatural agency. After all, it was considered a well-known supernatural agency in Shibuya District. Before the rise of his White Fox Agency, it was undoubtedly the number one agency in Shibuya District. The director was originally an Onmyoji under the Yin Yang Hall, but for some reason, he resigned from the Yin Yang Hall. He returned to Shibuya District to establish the Kawano Agency in time for the supernatural revival.
Speaking of which, during the initial establishment of the White Fox Law Firm, he had learned a lot from the Kawano Law Firm. Unfortunately, the Kawano Law Firm's title of number one in the Shibuya District had been replaced by the White Fox Law Firm. It was said that the Kawano Law Firm had started to decline recently.
He did not know if it was true or not. He had never been interested in such things.
"Director, this is all the files of the Chuanye Law Firm regarding this supernatural incident.”
After saying that, Iwanaga Kotoko took out a file envelope from her briefcase and handed it to Yuan.
After Yuan opened the envelope, she took out the information recorded on the A4 paper and began to read it carefully.
Seeing this, Iwanaga Kotoko and Kasugano Dome did not disturb her. While waiting quietly, Iwanaga Kotoko brewed herself a bag of instant coffee, added a lot of milk and sugar, and drank a few mouthfuls to raise her spirits so that her eyelids would not fight back and forth.
A moment later-
"300 people. This time, the supernatural incident caused by the strange wood ghost actually caused 300 people to die.”
Yuan frowned as she flipped through all the information in her hands.
The last time he personally accepted the Gokugi case, which was also the case of Kasugano Dome, there were only dozens of victims. This time, there were hundreds of victims. No wonder the officials did not care about the panic caused by the public and made a direct statement.
This was only one of the supernatural incidents related to the wood spirits.
Previously, he had heard from Kotomi Ishinaga that there had been more than ten supernatural incidents caused by the wood spirits, and these were all exposed. He did not know how many branches of the wood spirits were secretly hunting humans.
According to Yuan's estimation…
There were at least 30 supernatural incidents caused by the wood spirits.
If that was the case.
The number of people who had been implicated by the evil wood spirits was probably an extremely large number. It was no wonder that Kotomi was biased towards him and wanted him to follow the clues to the melon and uproot the entire evil wood spirits incident. This was not only the Yin Yang Hall that the officials wanted, but also the Yin Yang Hall.
However, some things could not be rushed.
Yuanyumo gestured for Kotomi Iwanaga to hand over the entire briefcase to him.
Now that the bizarre wood ghost incident was mixed with the wedding dress tree incident that had already been resolved, the situation was undoubtedly even more complicated.
He took the briefcase.
Yuan took out all the information regarding the recent supernatural events. Then, she flipped through them one by one. She needed to find a relevant breakthrough point from these information. Otherwise, if she did not have a breakthrough point, it would be impossible to completely solve this supernatural event.
As time passed…
Yuan found two abnormalities in the information in her hands.
"Kotomi, didn't any of these supernatural agencies obtain the blood-red fruit when they destroyed the branch of the evil wood spirits? There were also victims like Qiong who were not saved?!”
"Hah…"
Kotoko Iwanaga couldn't help but yawn. She then took a big gulp of coffee to refresh herself."That's indeed the case. Even the victims who originally had a trace of life were quickly devoured by the Strange Wood Demons when the Onmyoji attacked. As for the blood-red fruit, it automatically withered.”
"…Wither."
Yuan frowned and released a talisman. Three blood-red fruits appeared on the desk.
When Kasugano Dome saw this, a hint of sadness appeared in his eyes.
This was because these two blood-red fruits were formed from the flesh and blood of her loved ones. At the same time, they were also the culprits who took away the lives of her loved ones.
" The blood-red fruit watered by flesh and blood, the hairpin from a thousand years ago, the mysterious noble lady behind the wedding dress tree, the person who cast the evil wood charm, and the unknown powerful existence who likes to eat blood-red fruits…"
Yuan looked at the items placed in front of her and began to connect all the suspicious, usable, and contactable pieces of information in her mind.
"On the surface, the culprit should be the one who released the Wood Demon. It is because of it that the Wood Demon has caused so many supernatural events. Moreover, the hairpin that appeared in the branch of the Wood Demon is very likely to be placed by it... As for the purpose..."
" What I need is to be like the wedding dress tree, to make the eyes of the outside world focus on the hairpin or the owner of the hairpin. It's very likely that it's the noble lady who gave the seedling of the wedding dress tree to Qing Rao Village.”
Humans could not live for more than a thousand years, but only ghosts could live for more than a thousand years. From this, it could be seen that the noble lady was an extremely powerful existence, at least on the level of a great monster.
And the guess for this purpose-
Yuan also had her own proof. For example, among the 300 victims of the wood ghost incident, only this incident had the highest number of victims. The remaining victims ranged from 50 to 60. Other than this supernatural incident, there were no more than 100 victims.
The more victims there were, the more attention the Onmyoji would get. They would not let go of the details of the whole supernatural incident, not to mention that there was such a strange hairpin among them.
"It's a game of chess between two unknown powerful existences, and the Onmyoji is a chess piece of the unknown powerful existence behind the Gui Mumei. It's a chess piece used to suppress the suspected noble lady.”
Yuan seemed to be able to see the two massive creatures fighting each other.
The whole thing was getting more and more complicated.
"However, we have found a breakthrough point for now.”
Yuanyumo sealed the two hairpins and three blood-red fruits on her desk again. She then called for Iwanaga Kotoko and Kasugano Dome, who were yawning, and told them about her speculation.
After listening to Yuan's narration…
Kotoko Ishinaga immediately felt that something was wrong. She seemed to have made things worse. She had originally wanted to use the matter of the mysterious wood charm to take up the director's time and energy. However, he did not expect so many things to be involved in the matter of the strange wood spirits, especially the two unknown existences who were secretly fighting. Why did she feel that the danger was no less than when she was dealing with Shutendoji?
"Kotomi, Kotomi…"
Seeing that Ishinaga Kotoko was stunned, Yuan could not help but call out a few times.
"Yes, Chief."
Ishinaga Kotomi quickly recovered from her daze." Inspector, isn't it a little too dangerous for you to face these two unknown existences who are at least powerful demons by yourself?"”
"Dangerous, not really. I've never wanted to deal with them.”
Kasugano Dome and Iwanaga Kotoko were both stunned.
"If it's not the two of them, then who are they dealing with?!”
"Of course, it's the person who spread the branch of the Strange Wood Demon. As long as we deal with it, the Strange Wood Demon incident will completely fall apart.”
Yuan was not stupid enough to confront the two unknown powerful beings head-on. Since they were hiding in the dark and using the Onmyoji as a chess piece, there should be a need for them to hide and not show themselves easily. Although she had previously listed them as imaginary enemies, it would be best if she could not confront the two unknown powerful beings on the basis of solving the supernatural incident.
Of course, when it came to the last resort, with his current strength, he did not have to be afraid of anyone.
"Who knows, the person who released it might be an unknown powerful existence hidden behind the strange wood charm.”
Kotoko Ishinaga suggested a possibility.
"Although there's this possibility, it's very small. In my deduction, these two unknown powerful existences are equal. They won't personally participate in things like spreading the evil wood charm.”
Yuan explained.
Kotoko Ishinaga and Kasugano Dome nodded, feeling that what Yuanyumo said made sense.
Judging from the initial wedding tree incident.
These two unknown powerful existences were only quietly watching the development of the situation. They were secretly plotting and indeed did not show any signs of personally participating.
"Qiong, you should continue to follow the monster that ate humans these few days.”
Although the focus was on the bizarre wood ghost incident, it did not mean that Yuan had temporarily given up on the matter of eating humans. She would carry out both at the same time.
"I understand, Director."
Kasugano Dome nodded.
"As for Kotomi, help me investigate a person. A person who has already been investigated once. This time, investigate carefully again. If you need special permission, ask the officials directly.”
"Who is it?"
Kotomi Ikenaga asked.
"I'm Masayoshi Kuda, a second-year student from Class D of Feng City University's affiliated school.”
This was a name that had already been sealed. It was her who had buried the hairpin in the park area of Feng City University's affiliated school, which had triggered the wedding tree incident. She was also the first person to be pulled into the wedding tree ghost realm in the second stage of the wedding tree incident.
The whole wedding dress tree incident started because of her.
