Bai Yu took out several communication headsets from his storage ring and distributed them to everyone. "These communication headsets can maintain stable communication in various complex environments... Everyone, use these to stay in touch."

"Good news, I've investigated and found out."

Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha had already opened her notebook telegram and, through internet searches, had gathered all the information about these people.

“Kitahara Ryo is the nephew of the deceased Kitahara couple. He lives in the east of the city as a company employee with his newlywed wife, Kitahara Koyo.”

Kiyoshi Nishikido is Koharu Nishikido's younger brother, a male high school student, currently staying at a classmate's house in the west of the city. I've sent you the address.

"There's no time to lose; we must act immediately."

Bai Yu said in a deep voice, "I will go find the Kitahara couple."

"Utaha and Yukino, you two go find Kiyoshi Nishikido and try to persuade him. If you can't persuade him, take him away by force and put him under centralized protection."

"in addition......"

Speaking of it.

Bai Yu paused for a moment: "Remember to smash the projector before you leave~".

"Huh, what does this mean?" Kuriyama Mirai stared blankly at Shiraha, not understanding why he would smash the projector for no reason.

"The power of Ju-on could potentially enter the projector via a CD."

"If other employees of the TV station use the projector, they may be killed by the power of the curse, just like the [Grievous Hair] and [Grievous Hand] we encountered, becoming part of the grudge and needlessly increasing the difficulty of the mission."

Therefore, eliminating all possibilities is the optimal solution.

Yukino's mind works very quickly.

He understood Bai Yu's meaning in an instant.

"Then, then... which way should we go with you?"

Eriri bit her thin lips, looking anxious and uneasy.

I don't know whether I should follow Shiraha or the Yukino and Utaha duo on the next mission...

"With our combined strength, we wouldn't be able to protect you immediately if we encountered danger." Yukino rubbed her temples, looking troubled.

They felt that God had deliberately given them a difficult choice.

"Come with me." Bai Yu shook his head, not saying anything more.

By following their own actions, Eriri and Mirai Kuriyama have the highest chance of survival.

He still has some trump cards he hasn't played.

The five people walked out of the office building one after another.

Thunder rumbled outside, and a torrential downpour had begun.

Yukino and Utaha drove together to Kiyoshi Nishikido's classmate's house.

Bai Yu and his two companions then got back into the Chevrolet and headed to the local police station.

"Hey, weren't we supposed to be going to find the Kitahara couple?"

"Why did you end up at the police station?"

Eriri, in the passenger seat, looked at Shiraha with a puzzled expression and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Information on the internet is not necessarily true; it could be a deception by the Supreme God." Bai Yu turned his head, glanced at her sideways, and said calmly, "Seeing is believing. Only by going to the police station to check the case files can we truly ensure the truth of the matter."

"If I were God, I would definitely manipulate things online... Spreading rumors online is so easy."

"If you blindly believe, you could very well be ruined."

"As expected of Captain Bai Yu... so smart."

Kuriyama Mirai, sitting in the back seat, looked at the raindrops outside the window, then suddenly turned her head and looked at him with admiration.

Along the way.

She witnessed Bai Yu's decisiveness and caution.

Coupled with his formidable fighting skills, the young man before them, though not very old, exuded a strong sense of security.

Not to mention, both Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka, two beautiful and intelligent girls, listened to him without question.

"Hmph, Bai Yu really loves to show off."

Eriri, standing next to her, looked at Kuriyama Mirai's big, sparkling eyes and pouted a little jealously.

Suddenly, I felt an unpleasant feeling, like someone else had discovered a treasured possession.

outside the window.

The heavy rain continued to fall, splashing up fine droplets, as if trying to soak the whole world into a gray, misty rain curtain.

"Perfect timing, we have some time now, let's grab something to eat first."

After traveling non-stop, Bai Yu was also hungry.

He reached out and lightly tapped the touchscreen on the right side of the steering wheel.

next second.

A cool, electronic voice rang out in the carriage: "Driver's command detected. Activate automatic driving mode and start enjoying the meal mode."

"Destination has been synchronized. Current planned route: Chengdong Police Station, estimated travel time 28 minutes."

Click click click...

The three seats were simultaneously turned around, and the moving Chevrolet became several times larger, transforming into a spacious sofa, LCD screen, several chairs, and a dining table in the middle of the cabin.

The atmosphere immediately became much warmer.

Bai Yu raised his hand and rubbed the storage ring on his ring finger.

The table was immediately filled with all kinds of food.

In this kind of supernatural instance, it's best to eat the food stored in your storage ring; safety first.

Eriri was startled by the sight before her.

These are her favorite things.

She picked up a strawberry daifuku and gently took a small bite with her pearly teeth.

The glutinous rice skin is soft, chewy, and springy, while the sweet and sour strawberry and the smooth red bean paste melt in your mouth, with just the right amount of sweetness.

"How...how did you know I like these things?"

Eriri bit her lower lip, her voice carrying a barely perceptible hint of excitement.

"Didn't you say that before?" Bai Yu glanced at her casually, picked up a bowl of oil-splashed noodles and started eating.

Watching the boy devour his food, Eriri's heart inexplicably quickened.

This guy seems to not care about anything.

He even remembers what he likes to eat...

Girls are often easily touched by these unintentional little details.

Eriri glanced at Shiroyu secretly, feeling a mix of joy and shyness, and quietly moved her little bottom closer to him.

Meanwhile, Kuriyama Mirai, standing next to him, was completely stunned by the sumptuous meal before her.

Because of her limited abilities, she often suffers from anemia due to excessive blood loss and needs to eat a lot to replenish her nutrition, which makes her even poorer.

Because of his love for gardening, he once spent tens of thousands of yen to carefully cultivate a single potted plant.

They often couldn't even afford rent and food expenses; they were so poor that they couldn't even afford to eat.

Gulu!

suddenly.

The girl's stomach rumbled at an inopportune moment.

Kuriyama Mirai's face instantly turned bright red.

I was so embarrassed I almost wanted to crawl under the car.

"Kuriyama, are you... usually struggling financially?"

Eriri stared in disbelief at the bespectacled girl who had transformed into a monster-eating creature.

Just how long have they been starving...?

They wanted to eat the whole table.

"No, no, I'm so hungry!"

Kuriyama Mirai's little mouth was stuffed full of food, and she chewed it diligently like a little hamster.

What is face?

Nothing is more important than delicious food!

Suwon City Police Department.

Bai Yu flipped through the thick stack of case files.

He was accompanied by several local police officers.

Normally, ordinary people would not have access to case files.

So Bai Yu used a little trick—forging documents.

Using purchased hacking software, they infiltrated the police station's network and forged a file.

He pretended to be a police inspector from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department.

That is, a high-ranking official like Inspector Megure in "Detective Conan".

As a police inspector who came from Tokyo, the local police naturally gave him a very warm welcome.

Not only did they agree to let him enter the archives to review the files, but they also sent someone to accompany him throughout the process.

Even Eriri and Mirai Kuriyama were given special attention and were allowed to come in even without identification.

"The source of the series of deaths is a family annihilation case that occurred 25 years ago. The 32-year-old housewife, Miko Toda, was found hanged in her backyard."

"The male owner, Toda Taishi, a 36-year-old slaughterhouse worker, was dismembered and died on the mountain road."

"Both bodies were not discovered until the early morning of the following day. The family's only daughter, nine-year-old Aoi Toda, went missing."

"In the end, the police failed to catch the murderer and came up empty-handed. The Toda family home became a haunted house and remained uninhabited ever since."

"Until ten years ago, a construction company redeveloped the old house and renovated it. The elderly couple from Beidao, who came from out of town, moved in, and there were no problems for fifteen years."

“A month ago, the deaths suddenly happened again. First, it was the Kitajima family who lived in the house, then the mortician who prepared their bodies and his family, and then the novelist, Koharu Nishikido, and his family.”

"We've finally found a clue."

Shiraha, Eriri, and Kuriyama Mirai exchanged glances, their expressions simultaneously revealing excitement.

The family annihilation that occurred 25 years ago must be the cause of all this.

Aoi Toda, the missing nine-year-old girl, is very likely the origin of this "curse".

Bai Yu continued flipping through the case files in his hands, when he suddenly noticed something strange: "Wait... it was raining when these cases all happened?"

If it were just a rainy day, Bai Yu might think it was just a coincidence.

But since we always seem to run into each other by chance, there must be something fishy going on.

"Yes, Inspector Shiraha."

It was a bit strange that this police inspector from Tokyo was so young.

But the police officers in these small towns don't usually have the opportunity to curry favor with the powerful, so they all bow and scrape, being extremely obsequious.

Seeing the question in Bai Yu's voice, one of the older officers, who looked to be in his forties, immediately chimed in, "I was in charge of this case back then. It was raining heavily for those few days, which left a deep impression on me."

"Suwon is an arid city; it doesn't usually rain."

rain..

rain...

rain!

water!?!?
