After entering the room, I looked carefully and found that it was no different from ordinary neon residents.

After finding nothing in the living room, I went into the study to investigate.

There are a lot of photos and books placed in the study.

Hirata turned on the flashlight and shone the photo hanging on the wall.

I found that it was mostly selfies of the hostess.

There are also some photos with some religious people.

She is wearing a suit and ties, wearing a gilded gauze scarf, and there are a group of believers in Voldeism under her. What kind of cult is this guy definitely a cult?!

Hirata made such a speculation and shone the flashlight to the bookshelf.

"Speaking with the Guardian Spirit of Clinton and Haruki Murakami: A 35-year-old Virgin Leader's Medium Performance", "The Report of the Guardian Spirit - My Confession with Hide Ryuhua Sawajiri", "The Greatest Holy Spirit in History - The Truth Spirit Cult" and so on.

Although the name is strange, they are all books related to the "Mantra Spirit Sect".

"Is it a new religion?"

Hirata turned off the flashlight and fell into deep thought.

Just like the "horse head ghost sect" we encountered before, in Japanese society, this emerging religion is as numerous and complex as a cow's hair.

After the war, the island country was not only restricted in military affairs, but also in the destruction of GHQ, the Gong family was abolished, the Chinese people disappeared, and the ideological and cultural aspects were also relaxed. New religions that were strictly suppressed before the war emerged one after another.

These new religions can basically be divided into four categories, based on foreign religion, Buddhism, Shintoism, and "science".

This "Mantra Spirit Sect" is probably a sect based on "science".

This kind of summoning guardian spirits is obviously the work of the evil sect of the "Science School".

Just like Hirata learned that neon "Happy Science Church" was very popular in later generations, the leader claimed to be a fusion of heroic spirits such as Jesus, Confucius, Gandhi, and could also talk to various famous spirits that had passed away.

It is estimated that this "Mantra Spirit Sect" and the "Science of Happiness" are the same evil religion.

After obtaining enough information, he came out of the room, jumped onto the yard wall, and returned to Mika Hanasekawa.

He told Mika Hanasekawa of the information he learned.

"Is it a new religion?"

After hearing Hirata's words, Mika Hanasekawa's forehead wrinkled.

As a person who knows a lot about shrines and religions, Mika Hanasekawa, who grew up in the shrine, knows the difficulty of this new religion.

The new religion is another bad social problem in island countries besides the legal underworld. There are many new religions in the world. Even if everyone knows that there is a problem, some religions turn a blind eye under the loose religious law. The police in reality will not be as righteous as in movies and TV dramas, and they will have nothing to do to find trouble for the new religion.

"If the mother is involved in this religion..."

She looked at the house standing in the night with a worried look, "I'm worried about my mother's safety."

"Do you know where the headquarters of this 'Mantra Spirit' sect is?"

Hirata thought for a while and thought it was a clue that could be traced.

"I don't know. But I want to go to this 'Mantra Spirit' sect to investigate. Yuko Shinki may be there, and her mother has a high possibility. If I don't hurry up, I'm really afraid that my mother will be in danger."

Mika Hanasekawa grabbed his clothes and said uneasy.

"Do you have to follow up even if you catch a small clue?"

Hirata took a deep breath, borrowed a few coins from Mika Hanase, walked to the nearby public phone, and called Toyama Fumigata again.

This time, I would like to ask the other party to help me check whether this "Mantra Spirit" has been reported to the Metropolitan Police Department.

A few minutes later, the voice of the Asahikawa Man-eagle came from the receiver, "I found it, in Hachioji City."

"Is Hachioji City?"

Hachio is one of the cities in Tokyo, Japan, located in the suburbs about 40 kilometers west of the center of Tokyo.

After thanking Yuanshan Wenying, Hirata hung up the phone.

He did not explain to the other party why he checked the information, and Yuanshan Wenying did not ask.

The two maintained a tacit understanding.

After Hirata hung up the phone, he walked towards the worried Mika Hanasekawa.

"Let's go, I guess I can catch up with the last JR now."

Hirata grabbed Mika Hanasekawa's hand and walked towards Kita Senju Station.

“…”

Mika Hanasekawa followed Hirata in a daze, and her heart that had been tense suddenly relaxed.

"Why?"

“What’s why?”

Hirata turned around and asked.

"There is nothing, no exact news about my mother, just because I am worried that my mother will fall into the hands of the evil sect, so even now, is Hirata willing to go with me even though it is very late?"

"No, there is not nothing. This is the only clue that can be found in Yuko Shinki. If you can find Yuko Shinki in the 'Mantra Spirit' sect, you can find the whereabouts of Mrs. Hasekawa. This is the only clue that we can grasp."

"Even if there is only a trace of clue, I have to try it."

Hirata smiled slightly at Mika Hanasekawa, took her hand, and walked forward quickly.

"My mother told me that Yuko Shinki has been urging her to join which sect she has even reached the point of being tireless."

Mika Hanasekawa said more information she knew, "Scam all the money from the believers, claiming that the leader is the only true god, and dealing with those who retire from the religion in various extreme ways... These evil religions are like this. Only when the mother also identified the appearance of these people will she stay away from them."

She looked at Hirata, with complex eyes showing her eyes, "So, I was worried about my mother's safety, so I thought about going there to investigate."

It seemed that she wanted to explain to Hirata that she was not seeking medical treatment in a hurry, she pursed her lips and explained.

"Anyway, thank you."

She finally said in a faint voice.

Mika Hasekawa, who has always faced Hirata in a cold face, rarely thanked Hirata.

"No, you and Mrs. Hanasekawa have helped me a lot. Of course, this kind of thing is to do your best to help."

Entering the Chuo Main Line train station, Hirata took her hand and entered the last train.

Since the time was approaching nine o'clock, the carriage was very empty.

There were only a few passengers scattered in different cars.

"Next, I'll negotiate myself."

The light and darkness in the train alternated, making Mika Hanasekawa's little face flicker.

She clenched her fists tightly, and her thin body became firm.

“It’s up to me to communicate with people from those sects.”

She said firmly.

Hirata patted her hair, "You are just a high school student, and the other party is a bad sect. How could you talk to you well? Just leave it to me."

“…”

Mika Hanasekawa was silent for a moment.

I feel a little unhappy about Hirata calling himself a high school student. Aren’t you also a high school student?
