I cultivate a deity in Tokyo

“My mother-in-law told me that it’s best not to mention other shrines in my videos.”

"But it wasn't about the shrine's prestige or anything like that. She meant that I was too young and inexperienced, and easily fooled. If believers went to worship at the wrong, fake shrine, then it would be the shrine maiden's dereliction of duty."

"It's just what Priest Shiraki said."

"Sure!"

"Because I believe in Priest Shiraki!"

Looking at the little witch's white teeth, Shiraki Shunya smiled slightly.

Now, the number of worshippers reaching 100,000 is expected.

After seeing off Yuukawa Yaya.

Shiraki Shun's phone suddenly rang.

Hello, who is this?

"Inspector Yamato? How did you get my phone number?"

"Oh, it was Hanekawa-san who told you."

"Then you should look for me."

"what?"

"A paranormal event has occurred in Setagaya Ward?"

Chapter Fifty-Seven: There Must Be Something Strange About This

Setagaya Ward.

In front of a luxurious detached villa.

As Shiraki Shun stepped out of the subway station, he saw the cordon tape set up on the roadside and the Paranormal Section 6 officers standing in a row, blocking the view of passersby.

"Priest Shiraki, this way."

Behind the group, Inspector Yamato, dressed in a black suit and with well-developed pectoral muscles, quietly waved to them.

The officers tacitly parted to the sides, creating a small gap for one person to pass through, before closing the gap again after Shiramu Jun had passed through.

The two walked towards the villa.

"I'll trouble you, Priest Shiraki, to make the trip." Inspector Yamato said as he walked. "This matter should have been handled by Master Hanekawa, but the abbot of Raimu-ji Temple said that Master Hanekawa is not feeling well and cannot come."

"However, Master Hanekawa mentioned to me before that if I encounter a difficult case, I can contact you, Priest Shiraki."

Shiraki Shun nodded.

No wonder.

I was busy all night last night, and unlike me, Yuukawa-san can't recover with magic. She should be resting at the temple now.

In that sense, I guess I've stolen Hanekawa-san's request again.

I'm starting to get used to it.

He then smiled and said, "Inspector Yamato, you're too kind. It's only right that I do my part for Tokyo."

"Also, Inspector Yamato, are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Shiraki Shun looked at Inspector Yamato's slightly pale face with some confusion.

"Cough cough, it's nothing, it's nothing."

Inspector Yamato forced a smile, somewhat embarrassed.

"I just didn't expect to see something like that so early in the morning; I wasn't prepared."

"In Paranormal Section Six, there's no time to let your guard down."

As if recalling some scene, Inspector Yamato shuddered and gave instructions.

"Priest Shiraki, you should also be mentally prepared for what's to come."

Shiraki Shun nodded.

As they spoke, the two had already crossed the villa's courtyard.

"Priest Shiraki, this is where the body was found," Inspector Yamato pointed forward.

Shiramu Shun looked up.

The villa's door was open, and a thin white cloth was laid out in the entrance hallway.

Logically speaking, what's covered underneath should be the victim's body.

Possible

The protrusions under the white cloth only revealed the shape of the head.

What about the body?

Shiraki Shun stopped in his tracks.

He subconsciously activated the second Fahai.

Through the perspective of the angle, the face under the white cloth could already be seen.

His youthful appearance was frozen in the instant of death.

His eyes were filled with horror, and his lips remained parted.

It's hard to imagine what terrifying things she saw at that time.

But the scary part isn't there.

But elsewhere.

Below the head, although all parts were intact, it was completely deflated and lay on the solid wood floor.

Everything inside seemed to have already drained away and dissipated from the body.

Seeing this miserable state, Shiramu Jun felt a little sorry for him.

Turn your gaze away and silently recite a prayer for it in your heart.

Of course, Inspector Yamato, who was standing to the side, had no idea that Shiraki Shun had seen everything clearly through the perspective of the camera.

He took the clips, carefully lifted a corner of the white cloth, and gestured for Bai Mujun to take a look.

After Bai Mujun indicated that it was okay, she quickly put it down and returned to Bai Mujun's side.

"Priest Shiraki, the deceased was named Fujiita Mayumi, a student at Shunoin Academy."

At this point, Inspector Yamato suddenly remembered something and tentatively asked.

"By the way, Priest Shiraki also attends Hidenoin Academy, right? Do you know him?"

Bai Mujun shook his head and said, "We may have met once, but we didn't have any interaction."

Despite his calm tone, Inspector Yamato understood something from Shiraki Shun's furrowed brows.

The priest must be very saddened that his classmates are being persecuted by supernatural forces.

I just tried my best to restrain myself.

But one thing at a time, Inspector Yamato could only cough twice and continue speaking.

"The rest of the deceased's organs, including bones, all disappeared from his body."

"But strangely, there were no wounds on the deceased's body, and not a trace of blood was found at the scene."

"So the guys in the investigation department speculated that some kind of supernatural force was at work and contacted our Paranormal Section 6."

Hearing Inspector Yamato's words, Shiraki Shun's gaze returned to the white cloth in front of him.

Through the perspective, many remnants of yin energy gradually appeared on Fujisaka Mayumi's body.

Numerous, jagged crawl marks covered every inch of his body.

It felt as if it had been repeatedly crushed and turned over by something.

This ultimately led to his death.

Shiraki Shun was almost certain that this was not the work of a monster.

The scene was filled with a very strong yin energy.

This is clearly a sign of ghostly activity.

Inspector Yamato paused, his expression grave.

"Moreover, three such murders occurred last night in Setagaya Ward."

"The deceased all died in the same way; their bodies were completely gutted."

"Inspector Yamato, there must be some connection between these victims, right?" Shiraki Shun suddenly asked.

Inspector Yamato nodded: "Just as Priest Shiraki said, the other two victims were Mayumi Fujisaka's classmates."

"Moreover, there may be more than three victims, but four."

“We unlocked the victim’s phone and found many pictures and videos of the three victims appearing together.”

"But most of the content involved is related to a classmate named Yuko Ishigami in their class."

"We speculate that the three, led by Mayumi Fujisaka, subjected Yuko Ishigami to long-term physical and psychological abuse, which is known as school violence."

"Speaking of which, she's quite pitiful," Inspector Yamato sighed.

Shiraki Shun remained silent.

This kind of thing is also common in Japan due to a lack of sufficient regulation.

Even members of the Japanese royal family have experienced this while in school.

Shunoin is not some kind of paradise.

Despite the students' relatively excellent backgrounds, differences still exist.

The malice of some individuals ultimately led to this tragedy.

"We have contacted Yuko Ishigami's family, but..."

"Yuko Ishigami was reported missing by her family two days ago."
