Sakurai casually put the octagonal silver hammer back on his waist and raised his hand to signal them to wait a moment.
Then Sakurai opened his notebook and began to read it word by word.
"Really? The reverse method, after the three children's spirits are [saved], defeat and save Shinozaki Sachiko, then take the paper figurine fragment that belongs to her and return to the real world?"
"I probably understand."
Sakurai nodded thoughtfully, and stabbed himself in front of the three people's horrified gazes.
"Come on, your friends are waiting for you over there."
It didn't take long for Sakurai to find Shishido Yui and the other three, as well as Xiao Ye Yao who ended the battle on her side.
As for the whereabouts of Ayumi Shinozaki and Yoshiki Kishinuma...
Their whereabouts were not found in any of the timelines, and even their bodies could not be found. Sakurai, who was unaware that they had completed the salvation ceremony, was helpless.
"Well, thank you for saving me."
After the seven people from Kisaragi Academy exchanged information, they realized that the reason they were able to survive in this supernatural world full of ghosts and monsters was entirely because of the existence of Sakurai and Xiao Yexiao.
"Also... what should we do next..."
"what to do."
"And, who are you..."
After a series of events, it was more or less clear that Sakurai had no ill will towards them. On the contrary, he was their only support in this world full of terrifying ghosts, and everyone felt more relieved.
Finally, as a representative of everyone, Yui Shishido bowed deeply to Sakurai.
"The next step is to send you back to the real world. As for our identities, someone will hand them over to you after we get out."
"That guy is already impatient, and so am I. I don't have time to explain these cause-and-effect relationships to you for now."
After saying this briefly, Sakurai reached into his shoulder bag and finally took out a palm-sized black crystal.
"Ikaros Model 1 - Prototype."
This is the device that the bartender prepared for Sakurai to enter Tenjin Elementary School during this mission.
It is one of the products that was urgently developed to cope with the ever-changing world today.
Combined with the way it was used and the restrictions on it, it was eventually named after Ikaros from Greek legend.
According to the bartender, after crushing it, a door will open for one second that can only accommodate one person.
One-time use, and after solving this incident, Sakurai has to find a way to leave Tenjin Elementary School and return to reality.
However, this applies to entering Tenjin Elementary School.
If it is used to leave Tenjin Elementary School, the function of Ikaros Type 1 Prototype is more than enough to send these people away.
Sakurai has just confirmed this from the future timeline.
"Little Night Snack, stay with me till the end this time."
"That's fine."
After pulling Xiao Yexiao's hair twice, Sakurai's mouth corners slightly raised.
It takes at least two people to complete the reverse attack, so this time we have to bring some midnight snacks.
"Stupid tape."
Xiao Yexiao, who was also aware of this, gave a thumbs up vigorously.
"If you don't have anything to say, you can prepare to leave."
Sakurai looked at Shinohara Seiko and Nakajima Naomi who had lost her memory of the period when she turned evil.
"I hope you have a safe journey."
As he spoke, Sakurai crushed the black crystal in his hand.
The broken crystal cut Sakurai's palm and continued to suck the blood flowing from the wound.
Finally, a portal that could only accommodate one person formed in front of him.
The dark portal was dim and I couldn't see the scenery on the other side clearly.
"Then, just think of it as a nightmare."
Taking a step forward, Sakurai placed his hand on the translucent portal, and blood was continuously drawn out to maintain the existence of the portal.
Sakurai said softly, his face losing all color in an instant.
"Thank you so much."
After bowing to Sakurai with their sister, Mochida Tetsushi and Mochida Yuka were the first to step into the gate.
Then, the seven people present passed through the portal one after another and left Tianshen Elementary School.
After that, the wound on Sakurai's palm healed instantly as he withdrew his hand from the door.
"Come on, little night snack, it's time to end this."
Sakurai said this after clenching his fists and slowly loosening his fingers one by one.
"Rather than this, can we split up and act separately?"
"I just have something to deal with~"
The person who raised his hand to suggest a midnight snack seemed to be saying that he would not get up unless you agreed.
"I think I know where you want to go, I see."
"Let's split up. I'll go find Shinozaki Sachiko, and you go find the other one. It should be okay to make quick work of it."
Sakurai rubbed the Baihui acupoint, with pain still lingering in his brain, and walked away without looking back after saying these words.
......
......
"What happened again!!!"
It could almost be called a scream. Ayumi Shinozaki looked at the pitch-black portal that reappeared before her eyes with an expression of extreme fear.
Could it be that something else is coming out?
When she thought of this possibility, Ayumi Shinozaki couldn't help but tremble.
"Hey..."
"If you say you are an exorcist, you should be able to protect us."
Kishinuma Yoshiki, who was also frightened, subconsciously raised his voice and shouted loudly to Yotsuya Miko.
With a grunt, Yotsuya Miko, who had no one to help her, took a step forward without any hesitation. She stood between the door and Ayumi Shinozaki, and made hand seals ready to use the evil spirits at any time and anywhere.
Although she is still immature, she is an exorcist after all, and she has no reason to watch others get hurt in front of her.
Then...
Under the three people's wary gaze, Tetsuo Mochida and Yuka Mochida walked out of the door one after another.
"Captain, Kishinuma, I'm so glad you're all okay."
Looking at the two people behind Yotsuya Miko with surprise, Mochida Tetsuo couldn't help but shout this sentence.
The two people he was worried about when he left Tianshen Elementary School now appeared in front of him in real life. Could anything be more joyful than this?
Not long after, the nine people from Ruzuki Academy reunited in reality, and they were talking loudly about something in joy.
Yotsuya Miko, who seemed somewhat out of place in this atmosphere, stepped aside awkwardly.
94. Psychic Detective Saenoki Nanahoshi, Recycling Get
"really..."
"Just as I thought."
Watching the video on TV, Xiao Yexiao confirmed her guess again.
So the next thing to do is to find that guy.
If Sachiko Shinozaki is the culprit of everything, then the guy I'm going to meet next is the most direct fuse.
The cursed game "Happy Sachiko" was written on the homepage, and all kinds of people were summoned here indiscriminately, which eventually led to the death of the students in Tenjin Elementary School. The most direct fuse was undoubtedly...
That guy.
The high school girl known as the "Psychic Detective"... "Saenoki Nanahoshi".
If this is really the case, then we must not let her go.
Before Shinozaki Sachiko is defeated by Sakurai and Tenjin Elementary School collapses completely, it is necessary...
Just have a good chat with her.
It should be in the library.
After running all the way along the wooden corridor, Xiao Yexiao finally arrived at the library.
"Got you..."
"Psychic Detective Saeki Nanahoshi."
"It should be said that this is the first time [we] meet."
Holding the polar bear doll, Xiao Yexiao pushed open the door of the library.
Next to the bookshelf, the girl in red was looking at Xiao Yexiao expressionlessly.
"You intentionally made a fatal mistake, and then recorded the wrong spell on the homepage, and you are..."
"It was the most direct trigger for the disappearances that occurred in various high schools during this period."
Saenoki Nanahoshi didn't say anything, but a subtle smile appeared on Sanwu's face.
"For what? For the weird novelist Kiyu Kiyomizu? Or is it simply for yourself?"
He lowered his head slightly, otherwise the other party would see his expression and his tone would be piercingly cold.
“Hahaha, hahahahahaha!!!”
