Looking at the two young police officers, their expressions were slightly solemn, but they were obviously not feeling any physical discomfort.

The female police officer among them stood in front of the horrifying corpse in the cellar. I don't know if it was an illusion, but Mr. Esaki seemed to have caught a glimpse of a small white blurry arc of light, lingering on the tip of her raised right finger, and after a moment, he suddenly

Pass away.

The excessive panic made Mr. Esaki couldn't bear it any longer and he was about to collapse: "What on earth are you two? Who are you two?"

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Ezaki. We introduced ourselves at the beginning. We are police officers of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. It's just that the daily affairs we handle are different from ordinary police officers."

Kamiya not far away said this in a calm tone.

Ezaki's eyes met his, and at that moment, the panic in his heart calmed down a lot, and he believed Kamiyagawa's words without any reason.

As the "Lord of the Human World", even if he is just standing there, Kamiya has a very strange and undeniable persuasiveness.

At this time, Onizuka in the cellar raised his face, sighed slightly, and gave the information he had just received through the channel: "This is Ezaki Kazu."

Ezaki Kazu has been dead for a long, long time.

Her soul has not turned into a ghost, but after such a long time, there are still some fragments of living soul on her corpse that can be used for channeling.

Although the information obtained through the channeling was not too much, in Onitsuka's view, it was already a miracle.

The only explanation is that Ezaki Kazu must have been an extremely determined person during his lifetime.

"You said this is Gazin?"

Mr. Esaki, who had just calmed down a little, widened his eyes.

Everything that happened today was beyond his understanding.

Mr. Esaki didn't know how the two police officers in front of him quickly determined the identity of the body in the cellar.

But if what they say is true...

No.

how can that be possible?

Jia Jin was obviously thrown into the bay by her brother, so how could she appear in this closed cellar?

Moreover, who did such a cruel thing to Gazin?

Could it be that my brother did it?

All along, the Esaki family told themselves that their brother killed Kazu and threw himself into the sea because he was ill.

He did this because he was sick and unconscious.

But everything he saw seemed to indicate that his brother had done something even more terrifying.

He imprisoned his wife underground, where he could never see the light of day, and cut open her abdominal cavity.

Such cruelty and inhumanity is simply an act of the devil.

Mr. Ezaki couldn't accept this. He would rather believe that his brother had thrown himself into the sea with Kazu.

"Mr. Esaki, your brother passed away in the summer of 1979, right?" Onizuka suddenly asked in the cellar.

Folklorist Nagayasu Ezaki threw himself into the sea after killing his wife in 1979.

This is what is recorded in his information file.

"Yep."

Mr. Ezaki nodded.

Then, Onizuka's eyes became a little weird, as if there was a little sympathy and pity. After hesitating for a second or two, she spoke again:

"Ezaki Kazu in the cellar died in 1978."

"what are you saying?"

Mr. Ezaki shook his head vigorously.

What to do.

These two so-called police officers with unknown origins are indeed talking nonsense.

how can that be possible?

In 1978, Kazu was obviously still alive and well.

At that time, my brother had just been diagnosed with schizophrenia, and when he was living in a mental hospital, Kazu often went...to take care of...him...

Suddenly, Mr. Esaki's body trembled.

An extremely terrifying thought exploded in his mind like a thunder, making his scalp and back numb for a moment.

My brother is sick and suffers from Capgras delusion.

Patients suffering from this rare disease, due to their own hallucinations and delusions, will regard someone close to them as being impersonated or replaced by another "person" who looks and behaves the same, and will therefore feel a strong sense of uneasiness.

Before my brother got sick, he once said that he heard unusual noises at home.

Someone called his name in the night, and violent scraping sounds echoed in the corridor.

Waves of wailing sounds came from somewhere underground.

From underground...

"no no……"

Mr. Esaki took two steps back, feeling dazed.

He recalled the first time he went to the hospital to visit his brother.

His brother was like a crazed beast, eyes wide open, grabbing his arm and shouting: "Believe me, Jobka! They don't believe me, but you have to believe me. The current Kazu is definitely not the one we know."

Gajin…”

My brother looked really scary at that time.

The young Mr. Ezaki instinctively threw away his hand out of fear.

But is there such a possibility?

Thinking of this, Mr. Esaki's whole body shivered. Even though it was broad daylight, his body felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless ice cellar.

That terrifying thought, once it arises, can’t be shaken away——

Maybe his brother is not crazy.

Even when he was killing "Gazin" and even a second before he threw himself into the sea, he still maintained his sanity.

His brother... was probably more sober than anyone else from beginning to end.
