From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

With information such as name, possible address and occupation, finding someone immediately becomes much easier.

Natsukawa went straight to sweep the streets and soon found the two women who had gone to see Kamio Hitomi's concert with Kiyokawa Yuriko in a nursery near Chiba Temple Station. Then, Kinoshita Takashi also went out and quickly confirmed that Kiyokawa Yuriko had also worked there.

However, she suddenly resigned three months ago.

"She said she had something to do in her hometown and had to go back," one of the two women said. "And then we didn't get in touch again. I sent her a message but she didn't reply. I was really worried."

Takashita Kinoshita quickly obtained the file of Yuriko Kiyokawa when she found this job, and then confirmed through the police database and on-site visits that it was fake information.

In other words, this seemingly harmless woman got the job using a fake identity.

"She is a bit lazy, and she does things a bit clumsily, but she's very interesting, and the kids like her very much... Her hobby? Well, how should I put it? She particularly likes eating. Although it's a bit bad to say this, you should be able to tell by looking at her body shape, right?"

He is lazy, does things in a rough manner, and particularly likes to eat. In addition, he looks ordinary but uses a fake identity. Xia Chuan immediately thinks of him as some kind of creature.

"Isn't this Yuriko!" Sure enough, Takahata and Yoshiyama recognized her immediately after seeing the portrait he took out.

"She is still alive... I thought we were the only two who escaped." Yoshiyama was filled with emotion holding the portrait, and tears seemed to well up in his eyes.

"So she is?"

"Her mother is our Tama Tanuki's chief priestess, Chizuru-sama!"

This way it really matches.

"You two tell me the situation in detail." Xia Chuan said.

Because of their weakness, the raccoon cats of Tama Hill have never participated in many historical events of Japan, and have never been considered as objects worthy of attention. Instead, they have continued their own heritage.

It was not until more than 20 years ago that the area where they lived finally began to be developed by humans. In order to allow the tribesmen who had no ability to transform to survive, the raccoon cats launched an unprecedented heroic resistance, but ultimately failed. The leader, elders, and priestess all died in the battle, and most of the tribesmen also died in this battle. Only a very small number of members, like Takahata and Yoshiyama, relied on transformation to blend into the crowd and eventually survived.

But Natsukawa carefully asked them to recall the so-called "war of genocide" and found that the results of the raccoon cats' battle were nothing more than creating some supernatural events and safety accidents, which caused the accidental deaths of a worker and two drivers and injuries to more than a dozen people. The Akasaka side only dispatched seven or eight people and cooperated with the local police station to solve the problem.

This is really...

Is it really necessary to look for such a witch?

"Can you find her?"

As expected, the two guys showed the "I'm just a loser" expression that Xia Chuan was very familiar with. However, what was rare was that the two of them actually volunteered to help.

"After all, she is our sister! When she was little, she went with us to steal persimmons from nearby farmers... Now that we know she is still alive, there is no reason for us to ignore her. Please, let us do our part!"

That was true, but considering their courage and ability, Xia Chuan just told them to stay where they wanted and not cause trouble for him.

"You suddenly resigned three months ago and disappeared?" Kamio Hitomi was a little surprised when she heard the news. "I didn't tell you fake news. Our agreement has already taken effect. You can't cheat!"

"Do you think I'm someone like you?" Xia Chuan said.

"But it's a bit strange." Kamio Hitomi ignored his sarcasm. "How long had she worked there?"

"It's been nearly three years. We are investigating her past experience, but she probably used a fake identity, so it's a bit difficult to investigate."

"The raccoon cat is a very lazy monster. Logically speaking, if she has only worked in that place for three years, she should not need to leave on her own initiative. Could it be that something happened that made her feel dangerous? Has anything special happened nearby?"

"Wait a moment." Xia Chuan felt that this idea made some sense, so he temporarily exited the dream and returned to Asakawa Manabu to let him investigate.

As a result, no unusual incidents had occurred in that area for three months, or even half a year ago. On the contrary, recently, an incident of evil spirits occurred in the Prefectural Wakamatsu High School not far from the nursery school, but it was quickly resolved by Akasaka.

"Maybe she ran into someone by chance? Tama Tanuki was dealt with by Akasaka, did she run into someone from Akasaka by chance?"

Natsukawa then went to ask Hyakume to investigate again, and the result was the same. There were no relevant records inside Akasaka, at least there were no such records in the database shared publicly with the Mukuro Agency.

Given the importance of a monster like the raccoon cat, it shouldn't be listed in confidential documents.

"There is another possibility." Kamio Hitomi said, and then immediately became dissatisfied. "We clearly agreed that you would stay with me for an hour, why did you run away several times before you could even say a few words? Let me make it clear first, this situation cannot be considered a date!"

"I already said it's not a date." Xia Chuan shook his head. "Okay, this situation is a different matter. What else do you think is possible?"

"Will she run into other monsters? For example, the Styx Society?" Kamio Hitomi's expression finally became focused again. "Rumor has it that the Styx Society is searching for unorganized monsters everywhere and forcibly recruiting them under their command? Could it be that she was accidentally targeted by the guys from the Styx Society and chose to escape? Or has she been controlled by the Styx Society?"

Xia Chuan's expression finally became serious for the first time.

"What? Do you know something?" Hitomi Kamio asked immediately.

"There are also people in the Styx who want to become gods." Xia Chuan didn't want her to know too much, but under her questioning, he had to reveal a few things about Yu to her.

"Then she is very important." Kamio Hitomi suddenly became inexplicably excited. "We must not let the Styx get the secrets related to the gods first, right, Mr. Mukuro?"

"If she really had been targeted by the Styx Society, it was three months ago."

"They probably haven't succeeded yet, otherwise, with the raccoon cat's inherited knowledge, Styx would not be so easily fooled." Kamio Hitomi said. "Kiyokawa Yuriko might still be hiding somewhere and not be discovered. Mr. Mukuro, you must find her before Styx does! Come on! Come on!"

Chapter 226: National Search

Kamio Hitomi's analysis is probably correct, but it is actually useless except for adding more pressure to Natsukawa.

Judging from the results, the Styx Society probably did not inherit the raccoon cat's pantheon, otherwise, they would not have fallen into Xia Chuan's trap so easily and suffered such a huge loss.

But this does not mean that Yuriko Kiyokawa is safe.

It is very possible that she has been forcibly absorbed into the Styx, and is being used as a minion because she is of no use. Or, she has simply been killed or eaten by some powerful monster?

"Since she resigned voluntarily instead of suddenly losing contact, she should be prepared for the fate she is about to face, and the possibility of being killed casually should not be very high." Kamio Hitomi said. "As a miko, even if she is a raccoon cat, she should have some means of self-defense, right?"

Who knows?

Anyway, Natsukawa has no clue, and he doesn't have many people to do this. Relying only on Asakawa Manabu and Kinoshita Takaya, it's hard to say when he can find her.

In fact, those people from the Corpse Agency might be more efficient in finding people than Kinoshita Takashi, but due to confidentiality considerations, Natsukawa cannot use these resources.

"How about asking Kamio Hitomi to help?" It felt strange to hear Kamio Hitomi say this, but it was okay. "If she comes forward, it shouldn't attract the attention of the Styx Society and Akasaka."

"What are you going to do?" Xia Chuan was a little curious.

"It's very simple." Hitomi Kamio immediately demonstrated it to Natsukawa.

The other Kamio Hitomi, who was moving freely in her dream, was immediately transferred to a rather strange and terrifying scene, and then Kiyokawa Yuriko appeared in front of her.

"Find me, or else..."

The dream collapsed in an instant, and Kamio Hitomi screamed and sat up, unable to calm down for a long time.

She no longer remembered what she dreamed about, but the woman's face at the last moment was particularly clear.

What did she seem to say?

"Find me, or else..."

What would happen otherwise?

Hitomi Kamio couldn't sleep for a while, so she sat on the sofa and watched TV, then started surfing the Internet, but eventually returned to bed.

But soon, she was awakened by the same dream again.

Is it really okay for you to do this?

Xia Chuan could not help but smile bitterly as he watched from the side.

But the person who knows herself best is herself. After being awakened by the same face several times in a row, Kamio Hitomi no longer dared to sleep. She made very strong coffee and drank it. Then, sitting at the desk, she subconsciously took a pen and paper and began to try to describe what that face looked like.

Her drawing skills are quite good. Although not as good as the monsters' hand-drawn photos, she is about 90% accurate.

However, perhaps because of the nightmare, the portrait looks a bit eerie.

She hesitated for a moment, but finally took a picture of her with her mobile phone, then posted a missing person post on Japan's largest social network using a pseudonym, and reposted it using Kamio Hitomi's account.

"A fan's family ran away from home and her family is worried about her. Mina-san, has anyone seen her or knows her whereabouts?"

Can it be operated like this? Xia Chuan was really shocked.

It would be impossible for Kamio Hitomi to complete such a complicated operation just by relying on a nightmare. Natsukawa felt that it was very likely that she had found someone or something in this way before.

The power of popular idols is really not exaggerated. In just a few minutes, hundreds of people liked and dozens of people forwarded the message, and it was still early in the morning. After dawn, tens of thousands of people might see this message. Kamio Hitomi probably wouldn't spend money to buy fake fans to follow her. In the end, there might be hundreds of thousands or even millions of people who saw this message?

The only question is, if Yuriko Kiyokawa is also a fan of Hitomi Kamio and follows her account, after seeing her own portrait, will she be scared and run away to a farther and more secluded place.

At this time, Xia Chuan also thought of another force that he could use.

Kiryu Kazuyuki was also very proactive. He gathered all his younger brothers and previously recruited personnel early in the morning and sent them the portrait of Kiyokawa Yuriko.

"This woman cheated someone out of a large sum of money and went into hiding. Now the debt has been transferred to me. Whatever you do, find her for me as soon as possible."

It is not uncommon to see people who disappear after defrauding money or borrowing a large sum of money at high interest rates. One of the important tasks of the Yakuza is to find such people. So although they were skeptical about how much money a woman who looked like this could defraud, the members of the Kiryu Group immediately took action.

"Lord God, Kamio Hitomi's account suddenly..." Asakawa Manabu suddenly reported to Natsukawa.

"I already know that. Just keep an eye on the results."

"I see." Asakawa Manabu couldn't quite understand how Natsukawa could get the popular idol to help him, but since there was nothing unusual in this matter, he decided not to ask any more questions.

Yuriko Miko, both the black and white worlds are looking for you, where can you hide?

It might take some time for Jidao to get any results, but Kamio Hitomi's account immediately received hundreds of replies.

Of course, the vast majority of the replies were meaningless garbage, but there were also people who swore that they had seen this person and even gave the approximate location.

Although he knew that they were most likely just bragging to attract attention, it was not a big deal for Xia Chuan. He immediately began to verify at the places those people mentioned and once again launched a street sweeping operation. He also asked Asakawa Manabu to investigate the IP addresses of these people and check their past records to see if they were just bragging and whether it was worth continuing to investigate.

"Sister Kamio, what are you doing? I received several calls from gossip reporters early this morning, asking who you are looking for." The agent also came to the door early in the morning. "Someone must have made up a story. Can you ask me before you do these things?"

"I just turned it around." Hitomi Kamio said a little guiltily.

"Do you think I don't know that's your vest?" Hearing her say this, the agent became even angrier. "What on earth does this woman do, and why did you look for her?"

"I don't know either." Kamio Hitomi shook her head in confusion. "She kept appearing in my dreams last night. I wondered if someone had harmed my fans and turned them into ghosts to look for me..."

"Please, please don't believe that stuff anymore." The agent was overwhelmed. "It's too late to delete it now. I will immediately contact your PR team to discuss how to calm this matter down. Miss, I beg you, please don't do this again, okay?"

The assistant suddenly screamed at this time, and the two people's attention was drawn to her. They saw that she, who was processing redundant information for Kamio Hitomi, clicked on a private message, which contained a photo of Kiyokawa Yuriko, which was probably taken secretly with a mobile phone.

"Ms. Kamio, is this the person you are looking for?"

Chapter 227 Sorry, I'm Just Passing By

At this time, Xiachuan also noticed this result through Asakawa Manabu.

"So fast? Any reaction from Akasaka?"

"should not."

Akasaka already has enough headaches right now. Although they have many people paying attention to every move on the Internet, the post forwarded by Kamio Hitomi was looking for a woman who ran away from home, not someone who had encountered a suspicious accident, nor was it the discovery of a body with a suspicious cause of death. The people in Akasaka are not bored enough to pay attention to this matter.

"So……"

Analyzing the information on the photo, this photo was taken half an hour ago. Although the specific location cannot be directly seen from the photo, Asakawa Manabu did not spend much time to find the address of the poster.

Xia Chuan immediately mobilized the nearby crows to fly over and found the place immediately.

A cafe located in Ichikawa, east of Tokyo.

Xia Chuan immediately began to look around for the location where the photo was taken, and then discovered that it was an intersection about four hundred meters away.

Judging from the photo, the photographer must have accidentally seen her while waiting for the traffic light to cross the street, so he secretly took a photo of her, and then sent it to Hitomi Kamio in a coffee shop.

Judging from her condition in the photo, she should not have lost her freedom, but she seemed a little worried, with fatigue and anxiety on her face.

Xia Chuan immediately looked in the direction she was heading in the photo, but did not find her right away.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Kaisei, why are you so anxious to find her? Have you encountered a bottleneck on your path to becoming a god that you are eager to break through?"

Before she knew it, this was the third night in a row that Natsukawa had come to Kamio Hitomi in her dream, and Kamio Hitomi's attitude finally changed from that forceful and slightly malicious one to a much calmer and more natural one.

"Not really." Xia Chuan didn't want to talk more about this matter in order to avoid exposing more of his background. "Speaking of which, aren't you afraid that Kiyokawa Yuriko is related to the Styx Society and that they will notice you because of this?"

"Of course I am worried, but I think the probability of this happening is very small. Besides, if I really get into trouble with the Styx Society because of this matter, will you just ignore me?"

This sentence seemed like another opportunity to tease Xia Chuan, but the tone of voice was so normal that Xia Chuan didn't know how to respond.

As if she saw Natsukawa's hesitation, Kamio Hitomi immediately said, "Don't worry, I am also a monster who has lived for two hundred years. Even if they really come to me, I have ways to deal with them."

"I won't ignore you." Xia Chuan said suddenly on impulse.

After he said this, he realized something was wrong, but at this time, Kamio Hitomi was already smiling happily.

No matter what he said, it seemed like he was just trying to cover up his mistake. He could only curse himself for being a face-chaser and admit that he had unknowingly regarded Kamio Hitomi as a companion, or at least a candidate companion.

"If you weren't so wary of me, I could probably help you a lot." Kamio Hitomi suddenly said. "But I can understand your caution. As the saying goes, time reveals a person's true character, and this actually applies to monsters as well. I believe I will wait until the day you accept me."
