After the Bamboo Slip, which served as the "key," was activated at the site of the old Tsuchimikado residence, he seemed to have been transported to a strange place.
The surroundings were dark, damp, and oppressive.
It was difficult to determine whether he was underground or in a cave.
"Little Old Man."
Out of habit, when exploring completely unfamiliar locations, Kamiyagawa would usually summon the Scout to work collaboratively.
However, after calling out, the familiar figure did not immediately appear.
"Hmm?"
Keenly aware that something was amiss, Kamiyagawa groped for the Fu Niao Copper where the Little Old Man resided, squinting and examining it seriously.
He could clearly feel that the body of the Scout was inside the Bronze.
"It seems he can't come out."
Something's not right.
It's very, very wrong.
"Mary." "Hannya."
"Kouko?" "Little Tapir?"
"Huajing..." "Tengu..."
Kamiyagawa began calling out the Shikigami, but still received no response.
