Chapter 200 Things Hidden in the Dark (Ch 200)

After being shot with the tranquilizer gun, the two spirits immediately fell into a peaceful sleep.
Mizutani Oto and Shirata Kazuki were stunned, not understanding why these freshmen suddenly attacked.
But before they could react, they were knocked down by the tranquilizer gun just like the two spirit corpses.
The Secret Mobile Team was operating in secret, and in order to avoid causing unnecessary noise and alerting the enemy, they also took down Mizutani Oto and Shirata Kazuki.
Afterwards, the Secret Mobile Team took the four people to Kadori Nanatsuki’s office for inspection.
They carried a spirit particle detector provided by the 12th Division, which could detect whether these four people were spirit corpses.
After Shikatari Nanatsuki was promoted to department head, he also had his own office, where he could bring the spirit remains and keep them there without being disturbed by anyone.
“Deputy Captain Shifengyuan, these two are spirit corpses, and the other two are just ordinary students. The list is correct.” The soldier of the Secret Mobile Team reported.
“You two stay here and keep an eye on them.” Shifengyuan Yoruichi commanded, “Everyone else, follow me back to the dormitory.”
Shifengyuan Yoruichi brought the four of them back to the dormitory. Seeing that the teacher was not there, she used the same trick again and found a senior student passing by to chat with her while waiting for the teacher to bring out the Linghai Academy students.
After a while, July once again tricked two students from the Linghai Academy into coming out under the pretext of carrying a wooden sword.
After the Secret Mobile Team dealt with the two spirits, Yoruichi Shifeng returned to the dormitory and saw the teacher still at the dormitory door.
“The remaining two students are freshmen. They haven’t reported to the Spiritual Arts Academy yet, so we can’t arrest them using the method we used just now.” Qiyue said, “I suggest we stake out the entrance to the Spiritual Arts Academy.”
“Since we can’t be sure of the time they will report, let’s have them take turns to wait there.” Shifengyuan Yeyi nodded.
Shihouin Yoruichi asked several of his subordinates to take the captured spirit corpse to the 12th Division to remove the anti-leakage spell in the spirit corpse’s brain.
The rest of the people were waiting at the entrance of the Spiritual Arts Academy for the two spirit corpses who had not yet reported in.
An hour later, Mizutani Oto and Shirata Kazuki woke up in the office.
“Teacher…” Shirata Kazuki saw Kadori Nanazuki sitting in front of the desk. He wanted to tell her about his experience but found it difficult to speak. After all, they were sixth-year students and yet they were knocked down by a group of freshmen.
“We were attacked by that group of freshmen!” said Mizutani Oto.
“Mr. Shirata, you are Aoki and Oura’s roommate, right? Can you tell me about them?” July asked while flipping through the documents in his hand.
He was checking the performance of the four captured spirit skeletons in the Spiritual Arts Academy.
These spirit skeletons have stayed in the Spiritual Arts Academy for quite some time, especially Bai Tian and Shu’s two roommates, who were repeaters. They have stayed in the Spiritual Arts Academy for too long, and July is a little worried that they have planted some hidden dangers in the Spiritual Arts Academy that have not been discovered yet.
“Aoki and Oura?” Shirata Kazuki was slightly startled, “Oh, they were also attacked…”
“Their identities are problematic. You are facing a secret mobile team that is here to capture them.” July explained, “I hope you can keep it a secret. The secret mobile team is carrying out a secret mission.”
“Those people are the Secret Mobile Team!” Shirata Kazuki and Mizutani Oto were both shocked, but also relieved. It would not be shameful to be knocked down by the Secret Mobile Team.
“I’ll keep it a secret!”
“Me too!”
Shirata Kazuki and Mizutani Oto nodded carefully. They suddenly felt like they were participating in a formal mission as death gods.
“Shirata-san, tell me about Aoki and Oura’s situation,” said July.
“I’m not that familiar with them… No wonder I can’t fit in with them, it turns out they have a secret.” Bai Tianheshu thought, “They do almost everything together and rarely separate. When I was first assigned to this dormitory, I also tried to fit in with them, but they were very cold to me.”
“If it’s Aoki… I do know something.” Mizutani Oto said hesitantly, “He is my cousin’s boyfriend. I heard from my sister Linzi that Aoki agreed to marry into the family.”
“Marry into the wife’s family?” Qiyue frowned, thinking about Linghai’s intention in doing so.
He didn’t quite believe that this was just a love story about a spirit falling in love with a girl from a minor noble family.
“They are already engaged, and the wedding will be held next New Year.” Mizutani nodded, “They were in the same class before, but Sister Linzi has already graduated. If Mr. Kadori wants to know more about Aoki, Sister Linzi may know more.”
“Mizutani, can you take me to visit your cousin?” Qiyue reminded, “Aoki is involved in something very serious. If we don’t investigate it thoroughly, it may implicate your cousin.”
“Of course!” Mizutani Yin nodded repeatedly, “I’ll take the teacher there now.”
…
July followed Mizutani Oto to the Noble Street, where Mizutani Oto’s cousin lived.
Noble Street is not far from the commercial street, and it feels like a quiet place in the bustling city.
July seldom comes here, but after several of his disciples served as chief officers and deputy captains in various squads, many people remembered him, and from time to time you would meet passers-by who would greet him on the street.
A moment later, Mizutani Oto brought Kadori Nanatsuki to an old mansion.
After knocking on the door and waiting for a while, a maid in a plain kimono opened the door.
“Miss Yin, are you bringing guests?” The maid looked at Kanazawa Nanazuki beside Mizutani Yin with a slightly vigilant look.
“I’m a teacher at the Spiritual Arts Academy. I came to visit you today to find out about Linzi’s squad assignment.” Qiyue said calmly.
Just now, July realized that the ‘Sound of Hell’ he was wearing was triggered!
He had previously discovered that the ‘Voice of Hell’ could absorb the power of Hell’s Spirit Particles and identify the spells containing Hell’s Spirit Particles on the body of a spirit.
After this discovery, he took a pouch containing the “Voice of Hell” and used it as a scabbard accessory.
In this way, he can identify the spirits approaching him at any time through the “Voice of Hell”.
Now that the ‘Voice of Hell’ was triggered, July immediately reacted and realized that the kimono maid in front of her was a spirit or someone with connection to hell.
“Ms. Linzi’s squad assignment?” The waitress looked at Shikatsuki Kadori and took a closer look at his teacher’s robe. “Please come in.”
The maid in kimono brought Nanazuki and Mizutani Oto to the tea room and served them two cups of tea: “Please wait a moment, I will ask Miss Linzi to come out right away.”
Mizutani Yin wanted to pick up the teacup and drink some tea to moisten her throat, but a big, broad and warm hand grabbed her arm.
“Teacher…?!” Mizutani Oto’s ears quickly turned red.
“Don’t drink.” July whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Before July could explain, the kimono maid came over with a girl wearing an exquisite kimono.
