Chapter 379: Chapter 265. Salty Egg Appearance (4000 words)_2

The tired woman was no ordinary foolish ghost.

She certainly knew how important the hidden location of the body was to her.

It was also quite normal for her to erase the specific details of the Four-Corner Soul Summoning Game from Shen Gu Mirai’s mind.

"Moreover, Ochawashi Middle School has recently been expanded. Its appearance has greatly changed, and searching for it now would probably take a lot of effort."

Shen Gu Mirai shook his head.

The place where they played the game three years ago could now very well have become desolate ruins.

"Is that so?" Beichuan Si pondered and nodded.

For now, the confirmed fact was that Hinakabe Haru’s body should be hidden somewhere within Ochawashi Middle School.

But Ochawashi Middle School, being divided into middle and high school, is much larger than an average private high school.

To find her body among them... unless her body still retained a strong grudge, Beichuan Si could see those grudges and use them to search...

Beichuan Si couldn’t help but think about the information Gangye Yoshiko had given him.

Hinakabe Haru disappeared on July 21, 2014, and the whole case ended on August 30, 2014...

With just the current information, could they really find her body?

Was there a possibility that her body had been dismembered?

Although the tired woman wasn’t strong, her constant threat made one instinctively become guarded.

"We still need to ask Liangzi about the details of the interrogation of Tsuchiya Motomu..."

Beichuan Si muttered to himself.

...

In the afternoon, Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai left Kyubei High School and headed to the hospital where Miss Dubian Kyoko resided.

Honestly, Beichuan Si was almost more familiar with this hospital than he was with Kyubei High School.

After all, he had to come here every few days to climb to the eighth floor to repair Miss Dubian Kyoko’s body.

So many details that even the hospital staff might not know, Beichuan Si understood very clearly.

Just the other day, after Miss Dubian Kyoko’s physical condition gradually stabilized under Beichuan Si’s secret treatment, and she was transferred to a general care ward, Beichuan Si finally didn’t need to climb stairs anymore and could just enter the ward to treat her.

"Beichuan!"

As soon as Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai arrived on Miss Dubian Kyoko’s floor, they heard Nakajima Michika greeting him.

Her face was covered with a large mask and round hat, and she wore big sunglasses, making her look suspicious.

But there was no helping it, as Nakajima Michika’s popularity in various forums and fan clubs had not diminished at all. Even though she hadn’t been very active as an idol recently, her popularity remained strong.

Last time, she caused a commotion here, and after suffering from that incident, Nakajima Michika dared not to go out showing her true face anymore.

"Mhm." Beichuan Si nodded and walked over with Shen Gu Mirai.

He didn’t rush to exchange pleasantries but instead asked, "How’s the situation?"

"Sakura tried on her own, but the actual effect was not that great..." Nakajima Michika’s mouth moved, her big eyes hidden behind the sunglasses twinkling as she questioned, "Beichuan, are you sure you can handle it?"

Faced with her questioning, Beichuan Si’s tone was not the least bit disturbed as he calmly responded, "I’m not sure, and besides, you can’t ask me whether I’m certain about these things."

Not sure?

Shouldn’t ask Beichuan Si whether he was certain?

Nakajima Michika’s heart tightened; she subconsciously scratched her head and asked with some unease, "Then what are you saying, Beichuan...?"

"You will have to rely on her. I’m just here to assist this time."

Beichuan Si earnestly took the Shinra Bell from Shen Gu Mirai and answered with a neutral expression.

Indeed, the main force this time needed to be the reassembled Soul Summoning Flower of Shenzhu Shihui, not Beichuan Si.

At best, he could repair Miss Dubian Kyoko’s body. As for the Spiritual Body, he was still clueless for now.

"Ah, I see..." Nakajima Michika breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Beichuan Si’s words.

She was aware of the existence of Shenzhu Shihui.

After all, the upcoming operation to return the Spiritual Body would all depend on Shenzhu Shihui; Beichuan Si couldn’t possibly not tell her about it.

What Beichuan Si meant in his words was also simple: he was just there to assist.

However, Beichuan Si’s manner of speaking could easily lead to misinterpretation.

After all, if the most capable person among them spoke with such uncertainty, who would feel confident?

"Don’t scare me... Beichuan, forget it... just come in first." Nakajima Michika complained, before pulling Beichuan Si and Shen Gu Mirai into the room.

"Is that Miss Watanabe...?" Shen Gu Mirai looked at Watanabe Sakura, who was lying quietly on the bed with her head half-wrapped in bandages, with a look of curiosity.

Before coming here, Beichuan Si had already informed her about everything concerning Watanabe Sakura, and Shen Gu Mirai was also very interested in this extremely optimistic young woman.

"Mhm," Beichuan Si responded, while thoughtfully glancing around: "She is actually right around you, but because her goodwill is too faint, she can’t materialize into a physical form... But that doesn’t matter. As long as we can return her to her body next, you will be able to talk with her as if she were alive."

"Really?" Shen Gu Mirai looked a bit excited.

This was the first time she had heard such impressive terminology.

To her, this was no different from those stories in Japanese myths about ’pulling the dead back from the land of the deceased.’

And now Beichuan Si already possessed this kind of ability!

How could she not be happy and excited about that?

That was Mr. Temple, after all!

Of course, it was better the more powerful Mr. Temple was!

Her gaze, full of shifting emotions, was naturally captured by Beichuan Si.

While untying the knots around the pole of the Shinra Bell, Beichuan Si answered: "I’ve said before, I don’t have that kind of ability, this time we mainly have to rely on the power of the possessed Shihui."

But Shen Gu Mirai didn’t care one bit.

No matter what Beichuan Si said, she just thought he was being modest.

The possessed Shihui was nothing more than a tool spirit, her power was of course Beichuan Si’s power!

That’s what Shen Gu Mirai believed.

Though she was too embarrassed to say it out loud, that’s what she truly thought.

Beichuan Si kept quiet.

Being highly regarded by someone isn’t necessarily a good thing, because it means you have to bear the pressure of living up to their high expectations. But Beichuan Si didn’t have much of a solution to these kinds of statements that excessively praised him—

Because Shen Gu Mirai’s recent way of thinking had already begun to approach that of Beichuan Hui Li.

That kind of attitude which blurted out ’my Brother Temple is unbeatable in this world’ was a bit too much for Beichuan Si.

However, after trying to correct her numerous times and failing... to be precise, Beichuan Si, no matter how he threatened or tempted, Beichuan Hui Li stubbornly clung to the notion ’Brother Temple is unbeatable in this world’ and wouldn’t let go, so Beichuan Si had given up and could only passively accept her adulation.

Shen Gu Mirai now seemed to be showing a tendency to develop in the direction of Beichuan Hui Li.

Fortunately, she wasn’t as extreme as Beichuan Hui Li, Beichuan Si thought if he spent some time, he should still be able to correct this way of thinking.

Holding this thought, Beichuan Si looked towards the Shinra Bell.

Within the Shinra Bell, Shenzhu Shihui had already flashed into view.

But she didn’t materialize into a physical body, just maintained a ghostly form as she nodded to Beichuan Si.

This was, after all, a hospital; she couldn’t just materialize out of thin air.

Especially if her figure was captured by some surveillance, that wouldn’t be a fun situation.

After nodding to Beichuan Si, Shenzhu Shihui looked at the floating Watanabe Sakura before her.

Since Beichuan Si’s earlier conversation, the young girl had known that the woman in traditional red and white miko robe in front of her was the savior who could solve her problem of reentering her body.

Faced with such a savior, Watanabe Sakura was not stingy with her smile either.

"In a moment... I’ll reconstruct the state of the Soul Summoning Flower, and through me... the bridge I construct, you’ll enter... into your body. Do you understand?" Shenzhu Shihui wasted no words and directly got to the point.

"...Eh...?" Watanabe Sakura opened her mouth.

State of the Soul Summoning Flower...?

Constructing a bridge?

What on earth was that?

She was a bit confused.

Seeing Watanabe Sakura’s expression, Shenzhu Shihui couldn’t help but glance back at Beichuan Si, then rubbed her forehead.

Hm?????

She remembered she had asked Beichuan Si to inform Watanabe Sakura about the specific steps already.

Why did she still look like a Salty Egg, clearly having no clue what to do?
