Qin Wenyu was sitting on the plane next to Zhang Yunian who was reading a book and Xia Jiang, a policewoman who was already sound asleep.

The clouds outside the plane window were thick and dense, and the flight from Tokyo to Hokkaido took about two hours.

Zhang Yunian kept looking at the magazine in his hand and turned the pages one by one. After confirming that Xia Jiang's breathing had stabilized for ten minutes, he closed the book and turned to look at Qin Wenyu: "Xiao Qin, have you tried "Have you violated the rules of the sacrificial banquet?"

Qin Wenyu's complexion changed slightly, he looked around and said in a low voice, "Brother Yunian, although you are not the one selected by the sacrificial banquet, I cannot guarantee that you will not be restricted by its rules. Forget it."

Zhang Yunian smiled: "I had guessed before that you and Zhang Lu were involved in some kind of unspeakable incident. Although I didn't think in the direction of supernatural events, I also considered whether you were being Some forces are monitoring, maybe they are keeping you from speaking."

"However, I recorded the conversation between you and Deer Island students in the coffee shop. Although you were only exchanging information about the sacrificial banquet, it also caused a factual leak, because I already knew it." Zhang Yunian pushed his glasses, "However, you have not been punished, so I am thinking, can the rules of the feast really take effect in the real world? For example, the rule that its existence cannot be revealed."

"Xiao Qin, have you ever seen someone who was punished by a sacrificial banquet?" Zhang Yunian stared at Qin Wenyu.

Regarding the strange regulations of the sacrificial banquet, Qin Wenyu just listened to what everyone said. Most people were told these strange regulations when they first entered the sacrificial banquet.

But when they first entered the feast, Specter and Curse suddenly appeared in the real world, and the shocking fact could almost 100% dispel everyone's doubts.

So...even Qin Wenyu never doubted the rules of the so-called sacrificial banquet.

After all, even ghosts appeared...

But after hearing Zhang Yunian say this today, he thought about it carefully and found that it seems that so far, he has never seen anyone punished for violating the rules of the sacrificial banquet.

Is it because of not breaking the rules?

Or... it has been violated, but there is no punishment at all, that is to say... in fact, many regulations are empty, or artificially formulated.

Seeing Qin Wenyu pondering, Zhang Yunian withdrew his gaze and glanced at the female policewoman Xia Jiang, who had fallen asleep, and said, "If the rules of the sacrificial banquet are artificially formulated, what is the significance of it?"

"Does it mean that the sacrificial space is also artificial?"

"Or, the sacrificial banquet space is a mysterious creation that was accidentally discovered, but it has fallen into the hands of some kind of force."

"Do you think there is such a possibility?" Zhang Yunian asked pointedly.

Qin Wenyu nodded subconsciously: "Yes, if it is a man-made rule, then his purpose is only one, he wants to hide the existence of the sacrificial banquet, and does not want to be spread and reported."

but……

Qin Wenyu looked at Zhang Yunian and asked, "Brother Yunian, the way you asked the question just now seems to know the answer in advance and is guiding me, can you tell me why?"

Zhang Yunian smiled, but he didn't hide it, and said in a low voice, "I said before, I suspected that you and Zhang Lu were involved in some kind of game between powerful forces, you were being watched by them, so Zhang Lu's death Make you dare not speak."

"Remember when I called for the first time?" Zhang Yunian asked suddenly.

Qin Wenyu nodded. At that time, he had just returned from the feast of the daughter of the shrine, and was waiting for Ibuki Yuxian to come out at the cafe at the entrance of the theater.

It was at that time that Zhang Yunian called.

Zhang Yunian looked out the window and said, "Actually, I was already in Tokyo at that time."

What?

Qin Wenyu was really surprised this time. He stared at Zhang Yunian and asked, "When did you come to Tokyo?"

"I think... I was there when you notified Miss Ibuki on the radio in Dazang Township." Zhang Yunian's voice was understated, but it made Qin Wenyu horrified.

"I arrived in Japan the day after you went to Shimane Prefecture. It took me half a day to confirm the death of Kojiro and to find your whereabouts, so I watched it for longer than you thought. ," Zhang Yunian crossed his fingers and said softly, "When I called you, it was confirmed that you were involved in a supernatural event, so I could make arrangements in advance and prepare a recorder in Huang Tao's bell, Take a closer look at what you've encountered."

Qin Wenyu listened to him in detail, and in her heart, she understood a little more about the strength of Zhang Lu's own brother.

When he heard him say he was coming to Tokyo on the phone at that time, Qin Wenyu felt that this was not like Zhang Yunian's behavior, and he would not be so impulsive.

But then thought about it, maybe it was Zhang Lu's death that changed Zhang Yunian's mentality, that's why he was so impulsive.

Now it seems that Zhang Yunian has not changed from beginning to end.

He is still the lawyer who does the investigation in advance and takes action after doing everything.

"So, you started monitoring me much earlier than I expected. Apart from the sacrificial banquet, did you find anything else?"

Qin Wenyu asked, this is the crux of the problem.

Zhang Yunian nodded: "Well, that's why I took the initiative to contact the senior management of the Metropolitan Police Department, and took the initiative to take the responsibility of investigating supernatural incidents on myself."

Zhang Yunian was silent for a moment. He rarely appeared like this, as if he was hesitating.

Soon, he made a choice.

"While I was monitoring you, I found another person who was also monitoring you."

"No...he is more like guiding you than monitoring."

Zhang Yunian's voice made Qin Wenyu's heart tremble suddenly.

"Guide... what do I... mean?!"

Zhang Yunian's remarks captured Qin Wenyu's deepest doubts in his heart. Since he came to Japan, he has always felt a sense of being guided. What should be done now and what should be done next, these thoughts naturally appeared. .

But he always felt that something was wrong.

"You fainted on the streets of Shimane, remember?" Zhang Yunian asked.

Qin Wenyu nodded, of course he remembered that day... he saw the news of Zhang Lu's death on the TV in the window, and then stood there in a trance, frozen by the heavy snow, and fell into the snow.

It was also on that day that he met Yuzuru Ibuki, who always apologized.

"That day, on the street opposite you, I saw with my own eyes... a tall man wearing a hideous mask and a white scarf standing behind you, he seemed to do something with that mask, and then... you stood in the original The ground doesn't move."

"Then, he turned and left, not long after...Miss Ibuki came out of the convenience store," Zhang Yunian said word by word: "So, it's not accidental that you met Miss Ibuki, it's an inevitable arrangement."

"She's the arranged one."
