The three people in the room were all spiritual awakeners, but Soya was wearing an amulet that suppressed spiritual awakening. Sugawara Kyoko and Noma Minami didn't see anything, so naturally he was the same.
"Did you really come here because of Jingzi?"
"..."
Soya ignored Noma Minami's teasing. He wanted to know how the people sent by the shrine would respond in this situation.
Neither of them disappointed him.
"Look carefully."
"Um."
"I didn't say anything about you."
"..."
Noma Minami took out a white talisman paper from his arms and warned Jingzi: "Pay attention to the area around the wardrobe."
"I see."
She held the talisman between her fingers and stared at it intently.
"now!"
There was no flame - Soya couldn't see it - and the talisman quickly shrank in her hands, turning into a pile of ashes.
Kyoko stared at the ground around the closet, her eyes wandering. After the talisman completely turned into ashes, she shook her head at Noma Minami.
"The imprint is very faint, and no movement can be seen."
"After all, the last time the incident occurred was the day before yesterday... But at least it is definitely a spirit entity."
Noma Minami subconsciously prepared to blow away the ashes in her palms. She took a big breath and noticed Kyoko's sight again.
"Yes Yes……"
She walked to the window and said, "Huh——"
"..."
After all, it was just a ball of paper dust that could be blown away. Sugawara Kyoko hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.
Noma Minami looked at Soya, "Did you see it?"
"I can't see."
"No, I'm talking about Jingzi."
"..."
"Stern, right?"
She put her arm around his shoulder and said, "It's very hard to find a girl like this as your girlfriend."
"You are reminding me." Zonggu didn't want to talk to this familiar eldest sister.
"Hahaha--"
Noma Minami laughed twice and then stopped suddenly.
"Are there any results?" Ms. Hamaguchi appeared at the door of the room holding several cups of tea.
"Ah, well, it will take a while."
"OK."
She put the tea on the table and left the room.
"What to do next?" Soya asked.
"Keep looking."
"How to find it?"
Noma Minami took a sip of tea and took out a stack of talismans from her miko uniform.
"Burn and search at the same time. Since you are an 'invisible' person, you are responsible for cleaning up the paper ashes."
Zongya glanced at Jingzi, it seemed that she hadn't told anyone about him being a spiritual awakener yet.
Noma Minami misunderstood his meaning, "Do you want to follow Kyoko? Okay, I'll leave the outside to you. I'll look for her in the house."
Jingzi didn't say anything, took the talisman and went out.
Sogu picked up the earthenware teacup, took a sip, and followed.
When she came outside the house, Jingzi looked around, walked to the nearest intersection, and picked up the talisman.
"now!"
The talisman turned to dust, and she saw no trace of spiritual activity around her.
"..."
Seeing Zonggu extending his hand and waiting, she gave a rare smile.
"It's just ordinary paper dust."
Jingzi sprinkled the paper ashes on the roots of the small tree on the roadside, picked up another talisman, and continued to search.
Zong Gu also almost understood the two people's plan: to use this kind of talisman paper that can show the traces of spiritual bodies' activities, follow the clues, find the spiritual bodies and solve the problem.
However, it seems that the results have been minimal so far, and the workload is not small.
"I'm afraid half an hour is not enough."
Jingzi opened her mouth, this was the time she told him before leaving.
"Sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to be delayed a little longer today. If Soya-san wants to go back, I'll ask Miss Noma to drive you."
"No, I think this is too inefficient."
She turned back to look at him, "Sotani-kun, do you have a better idea?"
Soya asked, "What will Sugawara-senpai do if she finds that spirit body?"
"Make it stop this behavior."
"How to do it?"
Sugawara Kyoko held the talisman and said, "Ask it the reason for doing this and give it some advice."
"Messing up other people's hard-working clothes is just a prank no matter how you look at it," Soya said.
"Then warn it not to do this again."
"A warning?"
"When necessary, we will also threaten him appropriately." Jingzi looked at him, "The last resort is to expel him."
Although they are often harassed, they do not attack ordinary people after all. If they have not crossed this line, they are not considered evil spirits. Expulsion is the highest punishment.
"Then skip the previous stages."
"What……"
Zonggu looked around and picked up a bare thin bamboo, which was probably used to build a scaffold for the fruit vines to climb.
"Just leave a warning message. If it doesn't work, come back and expel me."
"..."
Although it was a bit more direct, considering that the troublesome spirit was just playing a prank, even if she found it now, the action she would take would still be a warning, so Kyoko quickly agreed to his suggestion.
The new question is, how to leave a warning.
"use this."
Soya handed over the thin bamboo and pointed to the open space in front of Ms. Hamaguchi's house.
"Let's be blunt: 'I'll kill you if I harass you again'."
"..."
Kyoko took the bamboo and walked to the front door of the house under Ms. Hamaguchi's curious eyes, but hesitated again.
"If it's not a face-to-face warning, will it be useful?"
"It will be useful. After all..."
"——After all, the other party is just a coward who turned into a spirit and only dares to bully middle-aged and elderly women who live alone."
The two of them raised their heads, and Minami Noma leaned out half of her body from the second-floor window, still holding a teacup in her hand.
"It is true that there have been no reports of other supernatural incidents nearby. He is very alert."
Zonggu smiled.
"Let's do it like this, Jingzi. At worst, we'll come back in a few days."
"I see."
She held the bamboo tightly and left words of warning on the soil.
"that……"
Ms. Hamaguchi, who had been watching for a while, walked out of the room.
"Does this really work?"
Noma Minami, who had already gone downstairs, handed her a note.
"This is my contact information. If it doesn't work, please contact me directly, Ms. Hamaguchi. Although it may take a few more days, we will definitely solve the problem for you."
"Really? Thanks."
This kind of guarantee made her feel relieved, but the words on the ground still made her a little concerned, or very troubled.
"These words..."
"Ah, don't worry, this is just for the harasser to see."
Noma Minami said, twitching his fingers at Soya, "It's time for you to move around."
"Ms. Noma is just drinking tea."
"This kind of thing can only be left to you. Do you want to trouble the client?"
"..."
"Ordinary person" Zonggu walked over and erased all the words on the ground with his foot.
What he destroyed was the surface content that everyone could see, and the warning message that only spiritual bodies and spiritually aware people could see had been engraved on it. It could last at least three to five days before the spiritual power dissipated.
"Write down other entrances as well, there's no guarantee it will go this way."
"OK."
Walking around the house, Sugawara Kyoko was like a bad girl from the old days, constantly leaving warnings that could kill you;
Soya is like an older brother who follows secretly, handling the horrifying pranks of his immature sister with his feet.
"No matter what the outcome is, we hope Ms. Hamaguchi can give us feedback."
Noma Minami is in front, Soya and Kyoko are behind, and they say goodbye to this client together.
"Farewell."
Back in the car, Minami Noma picked up a hard book on the armrest box.
"Write it down."
Kyoko Sugawara in the back seat was about to pick her up, but she avoided her.
"I heard from Jingzi that Soya is here to handle information. Is it okay to leave it to you?"
Zong Gu looked at her and raised his hand to catch it.
"no problem."
"OK, go back."
The commercial vehicle turned around and drove along the original road to Fuyun Shrine.
"How long did it take this time, half an hour?"
"Not yet."
"You have also seen that this is the main way for us to obtain information about spiritual bodies, but it is not so easy and simple every time we go out in the field."
Noma Minami looked ahead, "Our opponent was once a human being, but after losing the restraints of his mind and body, he became even more terrifying when he showed off his violence."
"We also try to analyze intelligence to improve security, but human beings' understanding of spiritual bodies is only so far, and the useful information that can be extracted is also very limited."
"Jingzi has great trust in Soya. Although I can't see anything yet, I hope you can really sort out useful information for us."
"..."
Soya glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Kyoko Sugawara sitting upright.
"You have too high expectations for me."
"Yeah."
Noma Minami laughed, "I thought you would be more confident."
"However, if you show your timidity in front of the girl you like, you will regret it later, like, 'Ah, why did I say that in front of Kyoko?'"
