Chapter 717 Qingliu Murder Case

There is still the second half of the content on the A4 paper——

[Don't get your hands on the blood and flesh of the green willows when you kill them. The green willows are afraid of fire, and only by burning their remains completely with fire can you prevent new green willows from being born from their blood and flesh.]
"They even gave me a solution. The person who gave me the information really knows everything..."

Kamiyagawa withdrew his eyes from the paper.

How should I put it? The person who secretly reported to the Countermeasures Room was really thoughtful.

It is so thoughtful that it is hard not to suspect that this person himself has some subtle connection with the Anyujiamei God and even the Chou hour worship.

The "Aoyagi Murder Case" came to the attention of the Countermeasures Office and it quickly attracted attention without the need for much guidance from the two senior executives, Shinkensuke and Kamiyagawa.

After all, this series of murders is most likely related to major events such as "Kobinze's former Aoyagi", "The curse of the Ushio shrine", and "The revival of Taira no Masakado".

These events were not only known to Kamiya Gawa, but also to the Countermeasures Office which had experienced the Taira Masakado incident.

It is impossible not to pay attention to it.

At the same time, Kamiya Gawa, who was unable to stay out of this series of events, naturally joined the investigation of the "Aoyagi Murder Case."

Two days later, new news came from Nagoya.

In Nagoya, another murder case involving Aoyagi occurred.

It is said to be a homicide, but the current definition of the case is "missing person."

There are two missing persons, and one of them has the surname "Qingliu".

After the Nagoya Countermeasures Office branch discovered the incident, it quickly followed up on the police investigation and reported the situation to the Countermeasures Office headquarters in Tokyo.

This is the benefit of official investigations.

Although due to the frequent occurrence of ghost stories in recent years, the exorcism forces mobilized by the countermeasures room have long been stretched to the limit. However, when the official organization pays close attention to a certain incident, the countermeasures rooms in various places and even the local police stations will be fully mobilized.

The efficiency of obtaining intelligence clues is far better than that of an individual working alone.

On the day Kamiyagawa received this clue, he went to Nagoya to learn more details.

……

The Countermeasures Office branch building in Nagoya.

As Kamiyagawa is currently a senior staff member of the Countermeasures Office, he can certainly come and go freely in such places.

And here, naturally, we were received by the staff of the Nagoya Countermeasures Office branch.

"That's pretty much it, Mr. Kamiya."

"I understand." Kamiya Kawa nodded.

According to the information provided here, the latest situation regarding the "Qingliu Murder Case" is as follows:

The suspect in this case is named Kazuhiko Nagaoka, and the victim is named Junichi Aoyagi.

Both of them are employees of a real estate company.

The incident happened on the second day that Junichi Aoyagi joined the company.

After seeing this "Aoyagi", Kazuhiko Nagaoka became extremely excited.

According to the testimonies of many eyewitnesses who were present at the time, Nagaoka's condition at the time can be summarized as "unpredictable madness and loss of reason."

In full view of everyone, he screamed, held a pair of scissors in his hand, threw Qingliu to the ground, and tried to stab the other person's throat with a ferocious face.

At the same time, according to witnesses from the real estate company, they did not know that Nagaoka and Aoyagi had known each other before, nor did they know any grudges between them. The incident happened so suddenly that no one could react.

What follows is an even more bizarre development in this incident.

Did Nagaoka kill Aoyagi?
No one can be sure.

The witnesses all said that at the moment Nagaoka knocked Aoyagi to the ground, they all experienced an indescribable state of confusion.

According to the testimonies of some witnesses, when they were in a trance, they seemed to see a young female figure entering the office where they were.

After everyone regained awareness of their surroundings, both Nagaoka and Aoyagi disappeared without a trace.

There is no blood left now.

Therefore, the current classification of this incident is still “missing”. Both the perpetrator and the victim are missing.

After the incident, the real estate company quickly called the police.

But after that, the two parties were never contacted again.

"While I was fuzzy, I saw a young woman appear..." Kamiya Kawa took a few more glances at this piece of information that only appeared in the testimony of a few witnesses, "Can you take me to the real estate company to have a look?"

"of course can."

……

In the city of Nagoya.

An inconspicuous single-family basement.

In the dark and damp underground space, a man was tied tightly to a chair.

The man struggled violently, and the chair beneath him creaked and shook due to the amplitude of his movements.

His eyes were bloodshot and red, and he was mad and violent, without a trace of rationality. The man's mouth was half open, saliva was flowing from the corners of his mouth, just like a wild beast:
"Kill! Kill... Qingliu, kill! Kill him!"

In addition to the frantic man, there was also a young woman standing in the basement.

Saotome Ai is young and pretty.

"Please behave yourself, Mr. Nagaoka."

Kazuhiko Nagaoka was tied up here by Saotome Ai.

As for the former's current situation, Saotome seemed very troubled and helpless.

As her soothing words fell, invisible ripples with strange power spread in the basement, and Nagaoka became a lot quieter.

The frenzy in his pupils faded away, and were slowly filled with emptiness.

Then, the fragile wooden chair stopped shaking, and Nagaoka, who was as restless as a trapped beast, became as sluggish as a puppet.

This is Saotome Ai's ability, some techniques that are more like illusion.

It is very effective for influencing ordinary people, and is also effective for some less powerful ghost stories.

After exerting control over Nagaoka, Saotome sighed.

On her right shoulder, the human-shaped doll woven from dry straw was sitting quietly in a dignified posture.

Hearing the sigh, the doll's mouth, which was sewn with thread, opened and spit out a black nail, which fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

Saotome glanced at the ground and said, "If it's too much trouble, why not get rid of this man like you did with Aoyagi? Taki, I know you're joking, but this is not funny at all."

"Don't make fun of me. When I dealt with Qing Liu according to your method, I was not as calm as you said."

rustle--

The metal debris moved along the wet ground, changing the shape of its arrangement.

Saotome Ai: "I know. I know it's not a good idea to keep him here forever. Uh, do you want me to send him to the countermeasures room?"

"It is indeed best to let those people handle it. But if we do that, it will be easy to be exposed, right? Using illusion to control strangers and passing the information we collected to the countermeasures room through several hands can hide our whereabouts. But a living person, especially a living person who goes crazy from time to time... It is not that easy to deal with. There are many people in the countermeasures room who are more powerful than me."

"...Okay, you're right. When I went to that company and took Aoyagi and Nagaoka away, I was already at risk of being exposed. But who knew that Aoyagi would find Nagaoka so soon... Now that I already know the situation, I can't just ignore it."

"But if there is really no other way, then let's expose it. The people in the Countermeasures Office are not completely unreasonable, and I haven't done anything bad. Don't worry, if I am caught by the Countermeasures Office by accident, I will never let them know of your existence."

Saotome Ai and the weird straw doll communicated smoothly back and forth in this strange way.

It was just as they said.

Saotome went to the real estate company and used the illusion she was good at to stop Nagaoka from killing Aoyagi in time, and took both of them away.

Among them, Aoyagi has been "dealt with" by Saotome according to the method given by the straw doll, that is, Takihime.

Nagaoka was trapped in this basement by her.

She had to confirm whether Nagaoka had been infected by "Aoyagi" and whether there was a possibility that he would become the next "Aoyagi".

According to the examination of the straw doll, Nagaoka did not have time to kill Aoyagi, so he was not infected.

But now, how to deal with Nagaoka, who has been unable to regain his sanity, has become a big problem.

Perhaps, getting rid of him at once would really put an end to all the problems.

Or maybe, if Saotome Ai had disguised herself as a psychologist and used illusion to contact and collect the information provided by Nagaoka, she shouldn't have cared about what would happen next at the real estate company.

This is how things are a lot of the time. Even though it's unfair, being a good person just has more restrictions than being a bad person.

This is where the problem lies. Saotome Ai cannot be so cruel as to be a bad person.

Moreover, when she was about to go to the real estate company, Takiji had no intention of stopping her.

"Taki, didn't you say that if the Aoyagi is not handled correctly, then the person who kills the Aoyagi and comes into contact with its blood or body fluids will most likely be infected and become the next 'Aoyagi'. And if the Aoyagi's corpse is not handled, it may breed new 'Aoyagi'. How can we just watch such troublesome and terrifying things reproduce?"

Judging from Saotome Ai's experience in dealing with "Aoyagi Junichi".

"Qingliu" does not have any combat abilities that can be called extraordinary, and in this respect it can even be said that he is no different from ordinary humans.

But the Qingliu are an extremely strange existence.

The earliest Aoyagi should be the one in Kobinawa, who successfully performed the Ugly Hour worship like Takihime.

After the worship is completed, the original Aoyagi probably can no longer be called a "human".

The god Anyujiamei gave him a blessing and a curse.

Today's Qingliu are the carriers of that curse.

As long as the power of the cursed dragon god remains, as long as there is a "Green Willow" in this world that has not been properly dealt with, they will be reborn and multiply with past memories after repeated deaths.

Even though he doesn't have extraordinary combat power at this stage, this ability can be called terrifying.

What's more, according to Takihime, the cursed god An Yugami has been looking for a suitable "body" and is ready to break through the shackles and come to the world at any time.

So, perhaps the immortal Qingliu are the bodies prepared by the god Anyu Jiamei for himself?

Saotome Ai: "Taki, your investigation has confirmed that the birth and proliferation of Aoyagi have intensified and become extremely rapid, right?"

"Well, maybe it's because King Xingshi awakened Anyu Kami last time that things turned out like this... Speaking of which, is it really possible that the Dragon God will be resurrected? If He comes, will you be in trouble?"

rustle.

The iron filings on the ground changed position again. Although they were still arranged in a disorderly manner, Saotome could understand the message that Takihime conveyed from them.

She could even imagine how Takiji would say this in a joking tone if she were to meet him face to face.

"Of course Anyu Kami would find trouble with me. After all, I was the first person to complete the Chou Hour Worship, and I was the first suitable body that the Dragon God wanted to descend into. However, King Xingshi intervened at that time, and half of the curse power in my body was gone, so I was able to barely break free from the control of the Dragon God. So to the Dragon God, I am a traitor who stole His power for nothing and must be punished."

However, according to subsequent developments, King Kozei wanted to use the power of Anyu Kami to "resurrect" Taira Masakado and turn Taira Masakado into the Demon King of the time.

In a sense, it can be considered as a sacrifice of Taira no Masakado's body to the Dragon God.

I don’t know whether the Dragon God will forgive King Xingshi for teasing him.

In any case, Takiyashahime, who stood against Anyu Kami and King Koze, would definitely not be forgiven.

"That's it..."

Saotome Ai sighed again.

Ever since she learned about the long-standing stories behind Takihime, Saotome has been troubled.

After all, these things are totally beyond her ability to handle.

And now, Saotome has already given the information about Aoyagi to the Countermeasures Office, and has explained everything that needs to be explained, so they should take it seriously.

Hopefully those guys can handle this...

The countermeasures room successfully resolved the last incident involving Taira no Masakado, so it is not impossible for them to deal with the hidden danger of Aoyagi.

Just as he was thinking this, the iron filings on the ground suddenly stood up one by one, and began to shake at an extremely fast frequency!
This is Takihime warning Saotome.

Some people approached this single-family building!

The one in the lead was completely out of touch with the people behind him, and before anyone knew it, he had approached at an incomprehensible speed.

Takiji even noticed the people who fell behind before she finally sensed the presence of the leader.

At this time, the man was probably about to break in.

"What did you say? A scary person came?" Saotome understood and her heart tightened, but she soon relaxed a little, "Ah, it's a group of people."

Since a group of people are operating openly, they must be from the official response room.

So Saotome ignored Nagaoka Kazuhiko in the basement, pulled the straw doll off her shoulder, and tried to escape.
