A Sorcerer in the Detective World

"...We became the prey of ghosts?" Shimada Yuzo stammered.

Shu Yunwen nodded, looked at Keiko Shimada and Nao Shimada, sat back on the sofa, and asked seriously: "Mr. Shimada, what did you say about the evil navy spirit from four hundred years ago? What's going on, can you tell me?"

"Of course." Shimada Yuzo responded quickly, and then said, "...It was probably more than four hundred years ago, when a group of defeated and injured navy fled to our island, hoping to recuperate on the island. However, , because these defeated navy seemed to be carrying some property and bounties on their backs, so the villagers on the island wanted to round up and kill these injured navy for money..."

"...These marines were finally driven into a cave on the side of the island, and all of them were killed. Perhaps because of the killings, the dead marines began to retaliate against the residents of the island, and various strange things happened. Some people died because of this. Later, the residents of the island had to pool their money and invited the famous Onmyoji Kamoaki at the time to suppress and seal the dead souls of the navy in the cave..."

"...Since then, our island has returned to peace. It was not until seven years ago that the ghosts of samurai wearing navy armor began to appear on the island again. Then three months ago, after a typhoon and earthquake, those wearing navy armor began to appear on the island. The number of dead warriors in armor has suddenly increased, and they have even appeared in residential areas recently and started to hurt people..."

"That's it..." Shu Yunwen frowned, and then looked at Shimada Yuzo strangely, "...you seem to know a lot about this matter!"

Shimada Yuzo was stunned for a moment, and then immediately replied: "...Yunwen-sama, you don't know something. Ever since the ghosts of the navy on the island began to enter the residential areas, our village chief asked people to search for the history of this matter. Documentation, now everyone on our island knows about it..."

"...I see." Shu Yunwen squinted his eyes, pinched his chin and thought -

If what Shimada Yuzo said is true, could it be that the one who left the "soul mark" on them really was the "old ghost" from four hundred years ago?

However, the world had begun to enter the Age of Ending Law four hundred years ago. If the ghosts of the navy were really suppressed and sealed by the Onmyoji, after four hundred years, the ghost and yin energy would have dissipated long ago and turned into Nothingness, it is impossible to stay.

However, judging from the "ghost soldier" wounds and "soul marks" on Shimada Yuzo's body, there are indeed powerful ghosts on the island.

Could it be that the ghost that the Onmyoji suppressed and sealed back then was so powerful that it survived to this day?

Shu Yunwen was thinking, and suddenly thought of something, and burst out: "...No! This situation is not right!"

Shimada Yuzo quickly asked: "...Yunwen-sama, is there something wrong?"

Shu Yunwen stared at Yuzo Shimada and asked seriously: "Mr. Shimada, please answer my question honestly. Has anyone died on your island during this time?"

"No, not at all." Shimada Yuzo immediately replied, "...those naval souls just wandered around the cave at first, and then slowly entered the residential area, and then started hurting people. No one has died from this yet. …”

"...Then there's a problem." Shu Yunwen muttered again, with a smile on his lips.

To be able to leave a "soul mark" on Shimada Yuzo and the others, it must be a ghost creature above the level of a ghost general!

If you are above a ghost general, the worst he can be is an evil spirit king! The island where the Evil Spirit King appears should have suffered heavy casualties long ago. How could no one die? In addition, the "soul marks" on Shimada Yuzo and others seem to be much weaker than Shu Yunwen's inherited memory——

In the inheritance of ghost wizards, no matter who they are, as long as they try to clear the "soul mark", they will inevitably attract a counterattack from the power of the evil spirit king's soul!

That kind of counterattack force, let alone Shu Yunwen, a junior wizard, even an intermediate wizard may not be able to withstand it.

However, when Shu Yunwen was cleaning the "soul mark" on Shimada Yuzo just now, he basically did not receive any counterattack from the power of the soul. He was just startled by the sudden coercion. In this way, there is only one possibility! That evil spirit king is now very weak for some reason, and can't even fight back with his soul!

Could it be that he actually encountered an extremely weak and powerful ghost this time?

Shu Yunwen thought about this, turned to look at Shimada Keiko and Nao, chanted a witchcraft spell in his mouth, and a [Ghost Witchcraft·Evil Breaking] shrouded the two people. Under the effect of witchcraft, the Yin energy and ghost energy around the two people quickly condensed, forming a transparent warrior head, which then shattered and dissipated——

Sure enough, this "soul seal" is simply a weakling!

Shimada Yuzo didn't know what Shu Yunwen was thinking, so he saluted Shu Yunwen respectfully and said: "...Master Yunwen, are you able to subdue the naval souls on our island? If possible, please help me. Let’s save all the residents on our island!”

"...Please!" Shimada Yuzo said and knelt on the ground.

"This..." Shu Yunwen frowned and thought after hearing Shimada's words.

As a ghost wizard with a heritage, it is Shu Yunwen's responsibility to eliminate evil spirits and so on. As long as his own life is not threatened, he will definitely go all out.

If we were to encounter an Evil Spirit King in full condition this time, Shu Yunwen would have run as far as he could to save his life. But judging from the current situation, this Evil Spirit King might have been sealed. Because it has been too long, my strength is terrible, maybe not even as good as an evil spirit...

As long as it's not a vicious spirit, Shu Yunwen would be very easy to deal with!

Shu Yunwen thought for a moment, and then said: "...I don't know exactly what is going on on your island yet, and I don't know if I can handle it, so I can't give you a definite answer for the time being."

"...In two days, our school will have consecutive holidays. At that time, I will go near your island to observe the situation. If I think I can handle it, I will help. Of course, if I can't handle it, then There is nothing we can do…”

Shimada Yuzo was ecstatic: "Okay, Master Yunwen, thank you very much!"

Shu Yunwen waved his hand: "...Don't be too busy saying thank you. I just said that I may not be able to deal with it... By the way, what is the name of your island?"

"Shikishima." Shimada Yuzo replied.

"Shikishima?" Shu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something, "...is that Shikishima from the ghost ship Ryujin? Your village chief's last name is Mikami?"

"Yes, Lord Yunwen." Shimada Yuzo nodded immediately.

"Uh..." Shu Yunwen touched his nose speechlessly - well, this is quite a coincidence.

Shu Yunwen remembered that there seemed to be gold worth one billion yen on Shiki Island...

If we really go to the island to remove spirits, how about looking for gold along the way? If you can find it, it can be considered a windfall~
