Half an hour later.
"Excuse me for disturbing you."
Yotsuya saw that Yozora looked reserved and walked into the living room cautiously.
Seeing her like this, Yozora shrugged and smiled nonchalantly.
"Who are you greeting? I'm the only one listed in my household registration."
"Eh? Yozora-san, are you..."
"Stop."
Without even having to listen to Yotsuya Miko finish her words, Yozora knew what she wanted to say.
"Anyway, please do as you please."
"good."
That's right, this is Yozora's home.
Due to the sudden heavy rain, the clothes of the two people who had just left the unfinished building were all wet.
Yozora lived very nearby, less than one kilometer away, so he brought Yotsuya Miko back first, so that they could discuss and analyze the intelligence collected after the battle of the unfinished building.
"Is this Yozora's home?"
Yotsuya Miko looked at the furnishings in the living room, a hint of surprise in her eyes, and thought silently in her heart.
Her surprise was not because there was anything abnormal here.
Quite the contrary.
As the home of "Yozora", isn't this two-story building a little too ordinary?
The living room is very clean. Although there are not many pieces of furniture, they are arranged very neatly and do not look messy at all.
The entrance is spotless and has a wind chime hanging on it.
This overly tidy and orderly house made Yotsuya Miko feel that it was completely contrary to the impression that Yozora was often crazy.
In her imagination, the other person's home?
It must be black curtains, black sofas, in short, everything is black.
There must also be a secret room with an ancient seal on the door, from which comes an ominous and strange aura.
Now it seems that I was overthinking.
Yotsuya Miko tidied her long hair and looked down to see that her school uniform was completely wet.
Even... a little transparent.
"Go take a shower."
Yozora took out a set of clothes from the next room and put it on the table.
"After you take a shower, change your clothes and dry them. Wear mine first."
"good."
Yotsuya Miko looked like a drowned woman and really needed to take a bath. It was impossible for her to walk around the room in wet clothes.
She picked up the clothes on the table and was about to walk towards the bathroom, but suddenly stopped and looked at Yozora who was sitting there with a slight vigilance.
"You... aren't going to peek?"
"Hey, look at what you said, I am a gentleman."
Seeing Yozora speaking righteously, before Miko could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the other party suddenly change the subject.
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond. If I say I will peek, then I will definitely peek. Don't worry."
"you..."
Yotsuya Miko gritted her teeth and said hatefully.
"Then I won't wash it."
"Oh, you're threatening me? You can wash it or not, but..."
Yozora's gaze lingered on Yotsuya Miko for a moment, and he waved his hand casually.
"Anyway, the way you're dressed now doesn't make any difference, right?"
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko's pretty face instantly turned red.
The quality of Sobu High School uniforms is just so-so.
After being wet, even the color of the underwear inside can be vaguely seen.
Not to mention, she was wearing a skirt.
"You're so cruel."
Yotsuya Miko said this through gritted teeth, then walked into the bathroom with a determined heart.
She took off her wet clothes, put them on the sink beside her, walked over and turned on the shower.
The hot water of just the right temperature poured over her body finally comforted Yotsuya Miko, who had first been frightened by the evil spirit, then experienced high-altitude ropeless bungee jumping, and finally ended up being drenched by the heavy rain.
"call..."
Yotsuya Jianzi breathed a sigh of relief, and the coldness in his body was dispelled a lot.
"Today...what on earth is going on?"
She recalled what happened in the unfinished building, her eyes filled with deep worry.
Every evil spirit that appeared in that building would be a powerful being capable of running rampant if released outside.
In addition, there is a monster with vertical eyes that looks like a python.
Is this all the influence of the "gate"?
Yotsuya Miko turned off the shower head, picked up the mobile phone on the sink, and searched the street where the unfinished building was located on the Internet together with the keyword "casualties among construction team members".
The piece of news that caught her eyes made her cover her mouth in shock.
"This is!?"
[A major accident occurred at the construction site, with a death toll of 285 people, and 37 people are currently being treated in the hospital.]
The release date of this news was exactly half a month ago, which corresponds to what Yozora said, that accidents frequently occurred at the construction site.
A detailed introduction is provided below.
The cause of the incident was that several construction workers, for unknown reasons, as if they had a sudden mental illness, deliberately destroyed the scaffolding.
At the same time, the person driving the excavator also lost his mind.
Even though the photo was blurred, Yotsuya Miko could see that the scene was a bloody mess.
"These guys…"
Looking at the horrific photos of the scene and the interviews with the families of the dead and injured, Yotsuya Miko gritted her teeth and clenched her hands into fists.
Yozora wrote in his notebook that evil spirits that pass through the "door" can influence, to a certain extent, or even directly manipulate the actions of the possessed person.
One person or two people, it could just be a simple coincidence.
But seven or eight construction workers lost their minds at the same time and acted in a way that went against common sense?
This is obviously what evil spirits do.
Miko finally understood that there were hundreds of such powerful evil spirits lurking in that unfinished building.
Through the influence of evil spirits, a large number of humans in the nearby area died.
Then, through the evil spirits formed after the unjust deaths of humans, they can increase their influence on the surrounding areas.
A den of demons was formed in this way.
Could it be that the "door" is a being that possesses the ability to think and has independent wisdom?
Miko shook her head, put her thoughts aside for the moment, and took the bottle of shampoo from the shelf.
When she wanted to apply shampoo to her hair, her hand froze in mid-air.
If you wash your hair...
It seems like I need to close my eyes.
Miko knew clearly that Yozora was sitting in the living room outside, and there was a high probability that no evil spirits would appear in this room.
But even though I know it, I am still afraid.
Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a long time, but finally spoke, suppressing her shyness.
"Um...Yozora-san?"
What she didn't expect was that Yozora's response came immediately from outside the door.
"I'm here, what's up?"
