"Thank you."

The two sat in the train, feeling the slight shock, and Mika Hanasekawa thanked Hirata again.

"Hmm? Why did you say thank you again? Didn't you say it just now?"

Hirata checked the only one in the sword bag that had just been exchanged, which looked like the tail of a raccoon cat, and asked her in surprise.

"Just want to say it!"

After saying this, Mika Hanasekawa turned her head and looked at the view that flashed quickly outside the car window in the night, and whispered.

It seems that I don't want to pay attention to Hirata anymore.

The two were silent.

Hirata was silent on the next investigation strategy, while Hanasekawa Mika was worried about her mother.

"Why do you always carry a sword bag?"

After a few minutes of silence, Mika Hanasekawa asked a question.

"What?"

Hirata had been looking outside just now, noticing what Mika Hanasekawa was saying.

"Sword Bag."

She pointed to the sword bag behind Hirata.

"As a self-defense weapon."

Hirata replied.

"After all, the society is not peaceful now, and Jidao and monsters exist everywhere."

"Monster, um..."

Mika Hanasekawa thought for a while, "If you were asked to fight the monster, would you win?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that she had asked a very stupid question.

"I shouldn't ask, you have defeated monsters before?! It's the generation ghost."

"Um."

Hirata nodded, "Although he has dealt with the 'generated ghost', he has also been injured. That kind of creature is impossible for ordinary people to deal with."

"Who did you learn your kendo?"

Hanasekawa Mika continued to ask.

"Self-study."

Hirata said in a slightly pretentious tone.

“…”

Mika Hanasekawa rarely refused him and remained silent.

The two of them fell into a state of being speechless again.

JR has been driving westward, getting closer and closer to Hachioji City.

"If this 'Mantra Spirit' is an evil sect, although Hirata Jun is very powerful in fighting, it is best not to have conflicts with the other party."

She pursed her lips and said, "The evil religion will not make any sense. If you get hurt again, it will be bad."

Mika Hanasekawa rarely said something to comfort Hirata.

The name of evil religion is something that people hate dogs in neon.

Usually, if you are walking on the street, someone will ask you "happy or not". The person who asked this question is definitely not a reporter from a certain TV station, but a new religious propaganda member named "happy XXX" or "XXX Happiness".

But the Japanese government has always taken a ignorant attitude towards it.

Just like the previous Aum Shinri Church, before the subway sarin gas attack that shocked the world, both the public reports of the TV station or the people knew that this sect was a complete evil religion, but the government did not start to solve the Shinri Church until the attack occurred.

Relying on religious law, the police department only arrested the evildoer when arresting the Truthic Buddhism. Some other ministries developed a new religion in their own name after the dissolution of the sect, and still based on the Aum Shinrika as the blueprint.

Neon and the government's police department still ignore these stinky flowers that grow on new rotten corpses.

In short, in terms of attitudes towards these evil religions, Neon's government has been taking some mysterious operations.

So Mika Hanasekawa is worried that if there is a conflict with people from the "Master Spirit" sect, Hirata will accidentally be injured.

The two of them spoke and arrived at Hachiozi City Station.

After leaving the station, the two of them quickly rushed to the destination along the address provided by Wenying Yiu of Yuanshan.

It was already nine:30 pm.

The dim starlight in the sky was completely blocked, and a large ball of black clouds covered the sky, and the slight night wind blew against the two of them.

Mika Hanasekawa was blown by the cold wind and couldn't help but fight a cold war.

Hirata rarely put his coat on the other person's body considerately.

“Um…”

She tilted her head, looked at Hirata unexpectedly, lowered her head and said "Thank you".

Thank you for the third time tonight.

Hirata thought in his heart.

"Need not."

After replying, Hirata took the somewhat cold Mika Hanasekawa's little hand and rushed to the so-called "Master Word Spirit" sect headquarters.

After passing through several quiet and deserted streets, the two came to a manor-style building.

Just at the foot of a small hill that can be barely called "mountain".

Two people guarding the majestic gate, and the three big words "Mantra Spirit" are written on the plaque.

In the parking lot outside the manor, there are all kinds of vehicles, dozens of which seem to be holding some gatherings inside.

Hirata decided to be polite first and then soldiers.

He walked up and said like two big men guarding the door: "Hello, we are here to find someone."

Two big men in suits and ties were stunned when they saw Hirata and Hanasekawa Mika.

I probably didn't expect that such a young person would come here at this time.

"Look for someone? Who are you looking for?"

The man who seemed to be the person in charge stared at Hirata and Hanasekawa Mika with malicious eyes.

"Yuko Shinki, we have something urgent to ask her, please make sure to let us in."

Mika Hanasekawa, who had been silent, spoke.

She walked up and looked at the two of them with a pleading look.

The two guys probably don’t know who Shinki Yuko is, but they are not going to check it out. They looked at each other and said, “Since they are looking for someone, please come in!”

“Hey?”

It will be Hirata's turn to be confused.

It seems to be easier to talk than I thought.

Maybe it wasn't a bad sect. Hirata pinched his chin and felt that he might have misunderstood the "Mantra Spirit" sect.

So in a daze, Hirata and Hanasekawa Mika walked in.

After entering the door, I was led by someone who seemed to be a guide and walked forward.

"The ritual is being held now, and it's time for both of you to come."

The man in a suit whispered while leading the way for the two of them.

"Ritual?"

Mika Hanasekawa asked with a frown.

"Don't you guys know?"

The guide showed a surprised expression, "But... it doesn't matter. Even if you are not a member of this sect, this grand ritual is the glory of every believer."

A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the passerby.

The puzzled Hirata and Hanase Mika followed the guide and followed the trail, walked through several yards and came to an empty place.

The scene that happened in front of them shocked both of them.

At this moment, a large group of believers were jumping and twisting in the open place, morbidly...

This is an indescribable scene, with men or women yelling strangely, dancing strangely by a ring-shaped bonfire.
