"Record: The target has returned to room 102 of the rented apartment in front of Tibet, temporarily monitoring the outside."

Just after Araki Sosuke returned to the apartment drunkly.

An old Toyota sedan that can be seen everywhere drove into the open-air parking lot opposite the Tibetan apartment.

Inside the car, there are two men in plain clothes, one of whom is checking the voice record that has been sent to the mobile phone.

"Damn it, stared at this kid for a long time, he's just an ordinary bastard, I don't know why he was wasting time..."

The young man in the co-pilot stretched his waist and complained.

"Sho Tai-jun, I will teach you today, the old clerk of Lesson 9, a word left behind..."

Sitting in the driver's seat was a thin middle-aged man with a stubborn face. While staring at the pale outer wall of the Tibetan apartment, the old god said to the ground.

The ninth lesson, the full name is "Tokyo Metropolitan Metropolitan Police Department's special operations ninth lesson", specializes in handling unexplainable cases.

And these two people suddenly received an order from their superiors this morning to follow up this little bastard named Sosuke Araki.

The man in the driver's seat just now is reporting the task progress every 15 minutes in accordance with the "Task Performance Guidelines" of Lesson 9 to avoid unpredictable accidental loss of connection or memory confusion.

"Please also seniors for advice."

"The calmer the sea, the more turbulent the undercurrent."

"Oh? So, Senior Fungu thinks that there is a problem with Sosuke Araki?"

Hearing these words, the young man named Shota immediately became interested.

The middle-aged man named Wen Gu took out two goggles from the co-pilot.

He took one of them and motioned Shota to take the other one.

"Is there any problem with him? I don't know. But this pre-Tibet apartment was notoriously problematic a few years ago."

After putting on the goggles, Shota's vision turned green like a night vision goggles.

"It's no different. It looks much cleaner than a normal haunted house."

In his opinion, the apartment in front of Tibet in the glasses has only become greener, and there is nothing peculiar.

"It is because of its cleanliness that it is terrible... This apartment had an astonishing big case five years ago... But so far, in the ninth lesson many investigations, no trace of resentment has been observed... as if there was Something sucked all these grievances away..."

The strap-on goggles worn by the two of them are special equipment for Lesson 9 and are named [Spirit Detective Glasses IV].

Not only the grievances carried by the "spirit" of the deceased and the spiritual power of the "psionic person" can be observed.

Even things that cannot be seen or explained by the naked eye can be observed.

Hearing what Wengu said, Shota immediately checked the words "Tiangqian Apartment" on his mobile phone.

As he kept flipping through the news on the screen, his expression gradually became shocked.

Resentment can be understood as the existence of a negative energy.

Whether it is the living or the dead, grievances arise out of negative emotions such as obsession, jealousy, and resentment towards certain things.

At the scene of the murder, the grievances tended to be even worse, and they even gathered as "spirits".

And there have been 23 homicides. Almost every occupant of the room has died in the apartment in front of Tibet, without a trace of grievance.

If it weren't for these residents to die comfortably and contentedly, where did these grievances go?

Under the dark night, the clean white exterior walls of the apartment slowly became distorted and terrifying in his eyes.

"Since it is terrible, why not seal it up and let people live?"

Hearing this, Shota asked curiously.

"After the'that case', this apartment was already a well-known murder house. There were not many people willing to live in... Although there were some unclear cases later, it was because of how many cases came in the ninth lesson. No evidence of grievances and weirdness was found this time, so it was suppressed by the consortium to which the apartment’s property rights belonged and treated as an ordinary haunted house... After all, where is Japan now that no one has died."

Wen Gu smiled bitterly and explained to him.

"Even the ninth lesson was interfered by the consortium?"

"I can't say that. Although the ninth lesson has a special status, it has been established in the past ten or twenty years, because there have been many Yaomozi cases. Before that, these gods and strange things were all onmyojis, The business scope of shrines and temples... Even now, the haunted houses with "spiritual" activities are also in charge of the Spirit Eliminators Association. As a law enforcement agency that mainly targets grievances and weird spirits above the level [II], we must also open a case There is evidence, right."

"Oh, Senior Wengu is so good, he knows everything."

Shota suddenly realized.

After opening the window of the car, Wen Gu lit the cigarette in his hand, took a deep breath, and continued: "Wait for you to spend a few years like me, and you won't have so much emotion. However, newcomer, you There is still a long way to go... If you want to live in Lesson 9, you have to remember what I said today, and I can’t let go of a little detail."

"Yes! Thank you senior."

Shota immediately nodded in admiration and thanked Fungu.

"At the end of this year, I have been in Class 9 for five years, and I can apply for a job change... I hope you can make it to that day, too."

Wen Gu stared deeply at the black sky.

Faced with various supernatural cases, long-term mental stress often leads to many unforeseen things. Therefore, the staff in the ninth department can hold a job for five years.

Even so, most of the staff either sacrificed in the task or could not withstand the tremendous mental pressure brought about by the weird case, and were admitted to a mental hospital.

Only a few lucky ones can survive until the fifth year.

"Record: The target stayed in Room 102 of the apartment in front of Tibet. There is no abnormality for the time being."

The two lay in the car so quietly, they could only hear the recording sounds occasionally sent from their mobile phones.

It was midnight, and Wen Gu, who was closing his eyes and rested, was awakened by Xiang Tai gently.

"Senior, that guy really has a problem..."
