High Priest in Japan

Although the theater was huge, Qin and Qing didn't see any abnormal information on the stage and surrounding stands.

Go to the backstage. Seeing this, Qin Heqing didn't say much, and said directly to Maya Sakagami beside him.

Please follow me. Maya Sakagami did not hesitate, and walked backstage with Qin Heqing and Jiujo Suzuko. And after a while, he entered a messy room full of props and costumes, as well as various makeup mirrors, similar to an enlarged version of a TV station's preparation room. Various props and objects were placed everywhere, making the whole room look messy , It is not refreshing.

Do you still remember how your niece and later that detective disappeared? Qin Heqing simply wandered around, but still didn't find anything backstage, he asked Sakagami Maya again.

I was not at the scene when Asako disappeared, so I don't know how she disappeared. I only know that when the rehearsal started, there was no trace of her in the whole theater, and the phone couldn't be reached, so I felt something was wrong. Suspecting that something might have happened to her, I quickly called her family and some friends, and after confirming that they didn't know about Asako's situation, I was roughly sure that Asako was missing... But Detective Asama was there when I arrived It was beside him, he said he wanted to go to the bathroom, after that I didn't see him come out from there, and he was not in the bathroom.

How do you know he's not in there? Did you go in and check? Qin Heqing asked.

I asked the theater staff to go in and look for it, only to find out that Detective Asama is not in the bathroom. Maya Sakagami replied.

Then go to the bathroom again. Qin Heqing said.

Okay, please go this way.

Then the group of three left the backstage of the theater and walked towards the men's room where the detective disappeared at that time.

Well……

What's the matter? Jiutiao Lingzi asked after noticing Qin Heqing's emotional changes.

It seems that Mr. Detective did disappear here. Qin Heqing looked at the weird and evil atmosphere in the toilet, and replied thoughtfully.

Did you find anything? Maya Sakagami raised his expression when he heard the words, and hurriedly asked.

I found some aura left by evil ghosts and ghosts when they were active. Qin Heqing nodded in affirmation.

Then he stretched out his hand to grab it, and a dark air ball that was invisible to ordinary people fell into his hand by itself. After observing for a while, he threw the air ball in his hand into the large talisman paper that suddenly appeared on the other hand. Then folded both hands, and folded the talisman paper in his hand into a small origami crane. When he blew lightly with his mouth, the little origami crane, which was originally a dead thing, seemed to come alive, with its wings flapping It flew up from Qin Heqing's palm.

After circling twice, it flew towards another place inside the theater...

This is... Maya Sakagami murmured with astonishment on his face.

Follow up. Qin Heqing didn't explain, but just stepped forward and shouted.

Naturally, Jiujo Suzuko and Sakagami Maya didn't bother to ask too many questions, and followed Qin and Qing's actions to act together.

Turn left, turn right, and soon stopped in front of a locked door.

What is this place? Qin Heqing asked.

It's the warehouse of the theater. Maya Sakagami replied.

Do you mind if I open it? Qin Heqing asked again.

I'll get you the key. Maya Sakagami responded without hesitation.

That's not necessary. Qin Heqing stopped Maya Sakagami who wanted to leave, and then pointed to the door lock. There was a slight click sound of the lock spring beating suddenly, and then Qin Heqing stepped forward to open the door. A strong, thick stench like rotten fish and shrimp gushed out from the open warehouse door.

Then, black air filled the air, setting off the entire warehouse like a ghost land.

And it does. Because the next moment, as the paper cranes flew in, the traces of the paper cranes disappeared abruptly in the eyes of Qin Heqing, Jiutiao Suzuko, and Sakagami Maya like a picture that was artificially erased.

It seems that we have found a place. Qin Heqing said softly. Then he turned his head and said to Kujo Suzuko and Maya Sakagami beside him, You two stay here.

You want to go in by yourself? Kujo Suzuko, who had a sharper mind, responded.

Um.

Then you should be more careful. Jiu Tiao Lingzi didn't say anything to persuade her, or she said that she should go in with her. She is not a child who can't tell the difference, so she naturally understands what she should and shouldn't do at this time, so she Very simply asked.

I will pay attention. After a pause, he continued, Ayukawa, you stay here and take care of them.

Okay. Ayukawa replied.

Afterwards, Maya Sakagami was startled by Ayukawa's abrupt voice, and looked around nervously, trying to find the so-called Ayukawa's whereabouts to calm her heart.

But Ayukawa ignored her, and still maintained the posture of a spirit body, watching Qin and Qing Mai's steps, and walked into the warehouse——

...

In an instant, the light and shadow changed, and Qin Heqing saw a theater that didn't look much different from the performance stage of the theater he had been to before, but it felt older and had a more contemporary decoration.

The old wooden chairs were lined up side by side, and spread out in a fan-shaped arc until the door where Qin and Qing were standing now.

The headlights were on on the stage, and one beam was a bit dim, but in the dark surroundings, it seemed particularly bright beams irradiated straight in the center of the stage, lighting up a man and a woman and two strangers. The figure of Qin Heqing appeared in Qin Heqing's eyes, walking around, performing, and performing an ancient stage play that Qin Heqing couldn't name, which looked weird and gloomy.

Then Qin Heqing's eyes changed again, and he appeared above the stage from his original position at the door, wearing a performance costume that had been inexplicably changed on his body, listening to a man and a woman on the stage talking passionately. He didn't understand a word lines...

Ah, honey, why don't you run away before your mother-in-law finds us?

Escape? Where can I escape? The entire royal city is her eyeliner, and all the soldiers are her minions. Even if I have all kinds of bravery, how many people can I defeat?

Then do you just accept your fate like this? No! I don't want to.

Honey, if you really want to escape from that old witch, even if you risk my life, I will take you away.

Ah, Albert.

Yelena...

Then another light came down, fully presenting the figures of Qin Heqing in the eyes of the man and the woman.

No, it's the housekeeper's son, he found us!

How to do how to do?

Don't panic, I'll kill him!

After finishing speaking, the male actor pulled out his own sword from his waist, and walked towards Qin and Qing with a determined face...
