After the shadow Yuuko's words fell, Kanoe Yuuko already knew who she was talking about.
If she hadn't recovered her memories, she might not have remembered these things.
In the plague that swept through the entire village back then, the villagers who had participated in the human sacrifice incident, whether by a twist of fate or perhaps some curse originating from before her death.
In short, in the months after her death, those villagers who tried to escape the plague eventually died one by one from it.
In a way, their remorse and resentment before they died also became one of the nutrients for Kanoe Yuuko's birth as a spirit.
In just one year, after that tragic great plague, the only person who knew what had happened back then was Kanoe Yukariko.
Then, after the plague, Kanoe Yukariko, who became the last remaining person of the Kanoe family, rebuilt the village in remorse, and gradually turned that village into the city it is today.
However, during these years, Kanoe Yuuko, who lived in Seikyou Academy, would subconsciously escape from and forget those memories she was unwilling to remember.
So Kanoe Yuuko, who subconsciously did not want to see Kanoe Yukariko again, had not appeared before her even once in these sixty years.
The only one Kanoe Yukariko had seen all these years was the shadow Yuuko, who bore all the hatred.
And at this time, listening to the shadow Yuuko's explanation, Kanoe Yuuko finally realized that she seemed to have indeed missed something on her way here.
Her target should have been Kanoe Yukariko, but where was she now?
Why hadn't she seen Kanoe Yukariko's figure on her way here?
Could it be, as she had said, that she had already made a move on Kanoe Yukariko before she arrived?
She certainly had not let go of what had happened back then, but when she had just become a spirit, she ultimately could not bring herself to kill her own sister and let the Kanoe family's bloodline disappear completely from this world.
Now, more than sixty years had passed, and her own sister had already reached an age where she was close to the grave.
In a few more years, when Kanoe Yukariko passed away and this old school building was demolished, for Kanoe Yuuko, this could be considered the power of time smoothing over all past entanglements.
Perhaps this was also the reason why she chose to forget and escape back then.
If now, this self before her really took that step, then she, as the main body, would truly never be able to let this matter go.
Under the agitation, Kanoe Yuuko seemed to have lost control of her power again.
And taking advantage of the gap when Kanoe Yuuko's mind was unstable again, the shadow Yuuko also used her familiarity with the ley line to directly detonate the spiritual power in the ley line that she had polluted and assimilated with her resentment.
Suddenly, with the basement of the old school building as the center, a violent tremor quickly spread outwards.
This old school building, which had existed for nearly a century, also began to crumble under this sudden vibration.
Even Miyauchi Hikage and the others outside the school could faintly feel this shaking.
Feeling this tremor, Fujimiya Konomi once again tightly gripped Miyauchi Hikage's arm.
And in the basement, which was the center, the commotion was naturally even greater.
Especially the three people standing next to the shrine. If it weren't for Hiiragi Inori's high level of concentration and subconsciously deploying a protective formation the moment the ley line's spiritual power went berserk.
Perhaps she could have survived with the defense of her miko uniform, but Itou Kaiji and Kanoe Kirie, two ordinary people without any defense, would have been half-dead even if they weren't killed.
She looked at the shadow Yuuko's position with an angry expression, only to find that after doing this, she had taken the opportunity to escape from this place the moment they were distracted.
She gritted her teeth and sighed in her heart that these vengeful spirits with special-grade potential were indeed one more cunning than the other.
But now was not the time to dwell on the shadow Yuuko's escape.
With the chaos of the ley line, the impact just now was just an appetizer. As the spiritual power and resentment continued to clash, staying in this place would not only have the possibility of being harmed by the spiritual power at any time, but the possibility of a backlash from the spiritual power when using it in this place would also be greatly increased.
Not to mention that this old school building had long since reached the end of its service life and had only been left here without being demolished for Kanoe Yuuko's sake.
Under such circumstances, if they didn't leave here quickly, perhaps the next moment they would be buried here!
She looked at Kanoe Yuuko on the side. It could be said that it was Kanoe Yuuko who, after the ley line became chaotic, had then used her power to stabilize the situation here, temporarily preventing it from collapsing directly.
Kanoe Yuuko's expression was also particularly complicated at this time.
She had not expected that that self of hers could do such a thing.
She used the power in her body to barely control the current situation, and then reminded Hiiragi Inori to quickly take those two people and leave this place.
Hiiragi Inori's side was still thinking about how to take two unconscious people out of here.
Fortunately, Itou Kaiji, who had not suffered much damage from the impact just now, also regained consciousness at this time.
He had not yet figured out the situation when he saw Hiiragi Inori on the side pick up Kanoe Kirie and quickly said to him, "If you're okay, let's get out of here quickly."
Itou Kaiji was about to nod in agreement, but when his eyes fell on Kanoe Yuuko at the entrance of the basement, he who had just been scared by the shadow Yuuko immediately became a little timid again.
Although that evil spirit now seemed to be much more pleasing to the eye than before, he could still tell from her physical characteristics that the two should be the same person.
He quickly looked at Hiiragi Inori with an inquiring gaze, wanting to find out what was going on.
Could it be that when they were unconscious and trapped in the illusion created by that female ghost, Hiiragi Inori had reached some kind of agreement with this female ghost?
Seeing Itou Kaiji's trembling appearance, Hiiragi Inori could only quickly explain the current situation, telling him not to worry about her identity.
In other words, there are two female ghosts, one good and one bad?
Now the good one is stronger than the bad one and has scared the bad one away.
However, the bad one, before running away, blew up the ley line here. Now this place could collapse at any time, so they have to hurry and leave.
After hearing the current situation, Itou Kaiji looked at Kanoe Yuuko again. Seeing her nod at him, he immediately fumbled for the things he had brought with him, confirming that although his phone had not yet recovered its signal, its other functions seemed to have been restored.
It seemed that the original female ghost had really left this place.
So he also planned to leave this ghostly place quickly.
But after he stepped onto the stairs, he hesitated for a moment and looked back at the crumbling shrine and the skeleton that had been left here for a full sixty years.
Then, he turned his head and asked Hiiragi Inori on the steps, "Can you give me another half a minute? I want to take a picture of this place."
After all, after they left this place, it would probably collapse completely.
And they had already finished filming and recording the other locations of this old school building in the afternoon and evening. Only this basement, if they missed it, they would probably have no chance in the future.
As he said this, he took out the new camera that Miyauchi Hikage had given him before entering this old school building, trying to capture the scene of this basement.
But after looking at the camera for a few moments and feeling that it was not easy to use, he still took out the new phone he had recently bought.
Although in terms of pixels and shooting effects, the videos taken by the phone were obviously not as good as the camera's, but compared to the camera that he had only used a few times, he was more comfortable with the phone's shooting method.
And on the steps, Hiiragi Inori was so angry that she almost wanted to laugh when she heard Itou Kaiji's brainless statement.
At a time like this, this guy could still remember to film.
He was obviously so scared when he first found out about all this. Why has he become so dedicated to his work now?
However, just as she was about to call Itou Kaiji back, Kanoe Yuuko at the entrance of the basement took the initiative to nod at him. "My power can probably last for another two or three minutes. If you really want to film this place, then hurry up."
In her conversation with Miyauchi Hikage on the back hill, Kanoe Yuuko was very grateful to him for awakening her memory. Although she had not seen the videos he had filmed, she could feel his serious attitude.
If he wanted to film her story, then let him show all the truth as completely as possible.
Including the "self" who was trapped in the basement and could never be freed.
After getting Kanoe Yuuko's consent, Itou Kaiji also continued to film with his mobile phone.
Even he himself didn't know what he was thinking.
He had just faced a life-threatening crisis, and had even been controlled by that hateful female ghost, personally experiencing the despair and pain of her before she died in the illusion.
After waking up, for the sake of his own little life, he should indeed leave this place quickly.
But recalling everything he had felt in the illusion, he had the urge to record all this and let everyone know this story.
Trying to record everything in the basement from the perspective of the "Kanoe Yuuko" in his memory before she died.
The broken skeleton, the old shrine.
Leaning against the wall, clearly only a few meters away, but the steps and the main door of the basement that were always unreachable.
Looking at Itou Kaiji's actions, Hiiragi Inori also seemed to see something in him.
This guy seemed to be not as ordinary as he looked before.
Or was it because of the experience just now that he had also stimulated some "special" talent?
Hiiragi Inori could only be sure that Itou Kaiji's talent was definitely not in Shinto or Jujutsu. She couldn't see anything else.
Because of the memory of the illusion he had just personally experienced as a reference, Itou Kaiji was very fast. In just a little over two minutes, he had filmed everything that needed to be filmed.
Although the effect was not very good, this was the limit of his ability.
Under Hiiragi Inori's repeated urging, Itou Kaiji ran up the steps and out of the basement.
Without the shadow Yuuko's mischief, the way out of the old school building was smooth. They successfully left the previously sealed chairman's office and then ran all the way out of this long-abandoned old building.
And almost as soon as they left the range of the old school building, after less than half a minute, as Kanoe Yuuko withdrew her power, another wave of shaking came from the old school building, and it looked as if it was about to collapse.
Hiiragi Inori wiped her forehead.
Who would have thought that a seemingly ordinary action would cause such a big mess.
There was such a big problem with the ley line here. It probably wouldn't calm down for a year or so.
After she went back, she would probably have to write several reports just on this matter.
But just as she was waiting for the collapse of the old school building from a distance, a particularly lazy male voice suddenly sounded from behind them again.
"Quite a commotion you've made. Looks like I'm a little late again. Are you all okay?"
Without having noticed at all how the owner of this voice had appeared behind her, Hiiragi Inori subconsciously took out the talisman in her arms, but after seeing the person's appearance, she was stunned for a few seconds before she realized his identity.
"Gojo... Satoru?"
Among the new generation of supernatural beings in the inner world, Gojo Satoru's fame was still very great. After all, his achievements and strength were laid out there.
Since the spiritual resurgence, the main reason why the Jujutsu world could stand out among the major forces in the inner world was because of the existence of Gojo Satoru.
There were even rumors in some places that it was because of the birth of Gojo Satoru, this strongest jujutsu sorcerer, that this world had ushered in the spiritual resurgence.
Of course, similar rumors also appeared in other places with the names of other new-generation powerhouses.
Anyway, why would this great god appear here at this time?
But Hiiragi Inori quickly thought of Miyauchi Hikage.
Does the Jujutsu world's side value that guy, Miyauchi Hikage, that much?
Because he might have been in danger, they directly called Gojo Satoru over to put out the fire?
So that guy, Miyauchi Hikage, also has special-grade potential?
Thinking of this, Hiiragi Inori saw that Gojo Satoru had already walked towards the increasingly violent spiritual power of the old school building.
Hiiragi Inori was about to remind him to be careful, but then she realized that this was Gojo Satoru, who had dealt with no less than a hundred, if not dozens, of special-grade Cursed Spirits. There was no need to worry about her.
She just reminded him from a distance that the ghost staying in the old school building was a good one, and not to accidentally hurt her.
Gojo Satoru should have heard it. He waved his hand at them with his back to them, and then disappeared from their sight.
Looking at this eye-patched man whose style seemed to be completely different from theirs, Itou Kaiji's side was still thinking of asking Hiiragi Inori about his background.
But in just a few short seconds, Gojo Satoru's side had already appeared with one person in each hand, and his other hand was open, controlling another person out of thin air.
After getting closer, Itou Kaiji recognized that the person he was carrying was the already unconscious Kanoe Yukariko, and the one he was controlling with his other hand was the now constantly struggling Kanoe Yuuko.
The current Kanoe Yuuko actually still had a trace of special-grade power left.
But even a complete special-grade vengeful spirit would not pose much of a pressure to Gojo Satoru, let alone Kanoe Yuuko, who had temporarily obtained power through a loan.
After Gojo Satoru put down the one person and one ghost, Kanoe Yuuko also realized the gap between her and this eye-patched man was more than ten times greater than the gap between her and the shadow Yuuko.
Faced with a powerhouse of this level, the fact that the other had not erased her on the spot already meant that he had no intention of killing her.
Therefore, after regaining her freedom, the first thing she did was to check on Kanoe Yukariko's condition.
Although it had been a full sixty years that she had not truly met this younger sister of hers.
But the connection between their bloodlines allowed her to realize that Kanoe Kirie was Kanoe Yukariko's granddaughter, and also allowed her to recognize that this elderly woman now was her younger sister.
At this time, Kanoe Yukariko's condition did not look very good.
And Gojo Satoru also made an explanation on the side.
"She should have been controlled in that mirror in the office as soon as she entered that school building, and until just now, she should have been suffering in some kind of illusion created by that vengeful spirit."
He said this, and then looked at Hiiragi Inori. "You're the local shrine maiden, right? I'll leave the matter of contacting the hospital to you. An old person of this age has experienced these stimuli. I'm not sure if her spirit can still hold up."
Then he glanced at the few people in front of him again, confirming that that Itou Kaiji was not the target he was looking for.
"Oh right, the principal said that he awakened a teleportation ability and left the school through that power. He should be outside the school now..."
He muttered this, and then asked Hiiragi Inori's group, "Can you contact that Miyauchi-kun?"
At this time, Itou Kaiji finally remembered that he should report the situation here to his boss. And the overtime pay for this time, it seemed that he had to renegotiate it.
He quickly nodded and dialed Miyauchi Hikage's phone.
Soon, a somewhat tired voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What, that female ghost just found you... Boss, are you okay?!" Itou Kaiji asked Miyauchi Hikage in a panic.
Miyauchi Hikage's tone now, could it be that he was seriously injured?
"I'm fine for now, just a little exhausted. I found a way to shake off that female ghost. I'm at the place where we parked now. You be careful over there too. I just called for another helper. As long as that helper arrives, we shouldn't have to worry about our safety."
Itou Kaiji looked at Gojo Satoru and quickly said that the helper had already arrived.
Then he quickly told Gojo Satoru where Miyauchi Hikage was now.
Gojo Satoru just heard what he said and probably understood the situation.
So, he had just encountered the vengeful spirit that had escaped from the school outside, but Miyauchi Hikage should have escaped again with his teleportation ability.
The reason for his exhaustion should be that he had just awakened his ability and then used it continuously.
This kind of situation could probably be recovered after a good day's rest.
Gojo Satoru left a sentence, "I'll go take a look," and then flashed again to Miyauchi Hikage's current location.
