47 Why Are You Shouting?

Although time had left its mark on this woman's face, Kitagawa Tera could still vaguely see her beautiful appearance when she was young.

And while Kitagawa Tera was looking at Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi, she was also looking at Kitagawa Tera's unfamiliar face.

Kitagawa Tera had delicate features and was a bit handsome. Probably because he was studying medicine for so long in his previous life, he had this calm temperament in him that caused Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi to have a good impression of him.

Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi and Chinatsu Chiyuki were acquaintances, and of course, the two had nothing much to say. She looked at Kitagawa Tera. "Chiyuki, this is?"

Chinatsu Chiyuki smiled gently and prepared an ident.i.ty for Kitagawa Tera. "He is Kitagawa Tera, Risnee's friend, and he wants to visit her."

She was not at all brainless like some girls. She knew that Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi would not believe it easily if she had said that Kitagawa Tera was an exorcist here to solve Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa's problem.

After all, Kitagawa Tera was too young!

One look at him, and it was apparent that he was a young man around the same age as Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa.

What kind of exorcism abilities or experience would such a young person have?

"Someone Risa knows?" Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi's expression relaxed, and when she looked at Kitagawa Tera again, her gaze softened.

"h.e.l.lo, Tsukis.h.i.+mobasan. I am Kitagawa Tera."

Kitagawa Tera reached out to shake hands with Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi.

Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi did not appear suspicious. After all, after Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa was down with a strange illness, many Kyokuboku students had come to visit her.

"Please come in, you two." Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi made way and welcomed Chinatsu Chiyuki and Kitagawa Tera inside.

Walking in through the door was the living room, the kitchen on the left, the bathroom and toilet on the right, and spiral stairs leading up to the second floor right in the middle. The layout was simple and bright.

After Kitagawa Tera and Chinatsu Chiyuki sat down, Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi said worriedly, "Chiyuki, it's not very convenient today. You know that Risa hasn't been in the right state recently. She was huddling in her blanket just now, blankly staring out of the window. I'm worried she'll scare you…"

"It's okay, Tsukis.h.i.+mobasan. Kitagawsan and I won't be afraid of something so small. Please let us go up to see Risa." Chinatsu Chiyuki embraced Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi's arm and shook it gently.

In any case, she had to let Kitagawa Tera go up to have a look at the situation.

Although Chinatsu Chiyuki could not get past her conscience over having to deceive Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi, she could not worry so much since it was urgent.

"… Ahh." Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi sighed.

After a while, she reluctantly agreed. "Okay, but I will only allow you to go up for fifteen minutes because it's soon time for Risa to take her medicine."

Fifteen minutes?

Hearing this time constraint, Chinatsu Chiyuki could not help but look at Kitagawa Tera.

Kitagawa Tera's expression remained the same as he nodded.

In fact, exorcising the grudges would take less than five minutes. After all, this kind of grudge that remained in the body did not have any external forces supplementing it. Kitagawa Tera's Cadaveric Aura was a sharp weapon when it came to dealing with these things. If it took fifteen minutes, then Kitagawa Tera would have to raise the level of the wraith to advanced.

But a grudge was a grudge. Although it had some relation to how strong the wraith actually was, there was no problem in exorcising it.

As soon as Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi finished talking, she did not delay. She stood up and brought Kitagawa Tera and Chinatsu Chiyuki upstairs to a closed door.

This door was strange. It looked like a normal door from the outside, but for some reason, it caused the hairs on the back to stand and the body to feel cold.

Cold air oozed out from the cracks of the door.

Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi took out a key and unlocked the door. The scene inside caused people's hearts to feel chills.

It was an abnormal s.p.a.ce.

Chilly, lonely, causing people's scalps to feel numb.

Both the ceiling and the windows were sealed tightly without a single gap. One piece of newspaper seemed to have been torn by Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa using excessive strength into strips, hanging like arms from the side of the windows.

On the floor were big and small old newspapers stacked and scattered all over the place irregularly.

The heating was not on in the room, and a strange chill permeated the air.

And the person in question, Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa, was currently huddling in her blanket, sitting in the middle of the bed, revealing only a portion of her pale face, and scanning her surroundings with her eyes.

From time to time, her pet.i.te body would twitch and show a fearful expression.

Looking at her from Kitagawa Tera's position, Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa seemed to be drowning in a sea of newspapers.

"I'll hand you the key, Chiyuki. Please remember to lock the door when you come down, or else we won't know where Risa will go alone again."

Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi could not bear to see her daughter in this state. She sighed softly and handed the key to Chinatsu Chiyuki before heading down quickly.

Seeing the biggest obstacle leave, Kitagawa Tera no longer held back. Cadaveric Aura suffused his eyes, and he said to Chinatsu Chiyuki without turning, "Close that door."

"Ah, okay." Hearing this, Chinatsu Chiyuki hastily ran to close the door.

When she looked back, she saw that Kitagawa Tera had already officially stepped into Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa's room and was walking toward Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa, who was sitting in the middle of the bed.

Chinatsu Chiyuki anxiously suppressed her voice and shouted, "Wait! Kitagawsan! If you get so close, Risa will—"

But it was too late.

Having two more people in this claustrophobic s.p.a.ce was enough to cause Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa to feel restless. With Kitagawa Tera coming closer, she could not take it. She jumped up from her bed and pounced at Kitagawa Tera in an extremely weird posture.

Chinatsu Chiyuki, who wanted to move forward to help, s.h.i.+vered subconsciously.

Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa was still able to communicate with her two days ago, but her black eyes were now full of cruelty and tyranny.

Looking like…

… Looking exactly like the puppets in her dream!

And then…

The 'puppet in the dream' jumped up and was caught around the collar by Kitagawa Tera expressionlessly.

Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa made threatening gestures and kicked her snow-white legs, looking like a large cat that Kitagawa Tera had caught by the neck.

"Why did you shout just now?" Kitagawa Tera looked puzzledly at Chinatsu Chiyuki standing behind, not understanding why she made such a loud sound just now.

After all, it was not a good thing to attract Tsukis.h.i.+ma Ryoumi at this important juncture.

"Er…" Chinatsu Chiyuki felt as though her mouth had been blocked.

Looking at Tsukis.h.i.+ma Risa making threatening gestures at Kitagawa Tera but was unable to do anything, she was lost for words.

The blogger of the Office of Paranormal Activities… is indeed capable.
