I might be a fake Ultraman.

Chapter 5147

Naturally, the members of the Seth team failed to find any trace of the monster.

However, Higashi Kotaro and Aragaki Shuhei encountered a little girl picking flowers.

To help the little girl find her way home, Kotaro Higashi had to carry her through the streets and alleys, eventually ending up back at Shiratori's house after going around in circles.

Kotaro Higashi: "Where exactly do you live?"

Little girl: "I don't know~"

Higashi Kotaro: "?"

If asked again, the little girl would start pointing the way, pointing wherever she saw with her little hand.

Kotaro Higashi was completely speechless.

In the end, they had no choice but to take the little girl back to Shiratori's house.

On his way home, Higashi Kotaro also encountered Moriyama Izumi, who was on vacation.

That's the Seto team liaison who called Higashi Kotaro before.

Although Izumi Moriyama called Kotaro Higashi back to work overtime with a phone call, it was time for Izumi Moriyama herself to rest.

Izumi Moriyama saw Kotaro Higashi helping the little girl find her home. She suddenly realized that the little girl next to Kotaro Higashi looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen her before.

Looking at the seemingly leisurely Moriyama Izumi, Higashi Kotaro's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Moriyama, would you like to come to my house? Shiratori's house is quite big, you can take your time to think about it..."

Mori Shanquan: "???"

……

Shiratori Saori isn't home today!

To be precise, Shiratori Saori was not at home for the past three days. She received a notice from the university that she needed to go out for three days of study.

Only Hyakuri En, Higashi Kotaro, and Shiratori Kenichi remained at home.

This also conveniently avoided the bloodsucking murder incident.

However, this also caused chaos in the Shiratori family.

Although Shiratori Saori prepared three days' worth of food for the three of them before she left.

However, when it comes to housework, Kotaro Higashi and Kenichi Shiratori say they are powerless to help.

Not to mention the leftover dishes after the meal, even how to take care of the flowers in the garden is not something that the two, one big and one small, who only know how to beg for food, would know.

Simply put, they're useless at everything, but they eat everything without leaving a trace.

Kotaro Higashi invited Izumi Moriyama to the Shiratori residence in the hope that she could help with some housework.

Izumi Moriyama said that meeting Kotaro Higashi was truly her "blessing".

Fortunately, she still took pity on me and agreed to help.

As for Baili Yuan, he did initially want to take on household chores.

But Kotaro Higashi stared at him, indicating that he didn't seem like a child and that it was necessary to investigate him thoroughly.

Then Baili Yuan put down his tools and chose to be a five-year-old child who couldn't do anything.

Why is Higashi Kotaro so perceptive?

Senyama Izumi is indeed a good woman; she is not only warm-hearted but also very skilled in housework.

In some ways, she is quite similar to Saori Shiratori.

That is, they all like to nag while working.

However, Izumi Moriyama, the liaison for the Set team, clearly had a much broader knowledge base than Saori Shiratori, a college student.

She talked about everything from people's livelihoods to technology, from Japan to the universe, from daily necessities to clothing, food, housing, and transportation, from social conditions to cultural changes...

Kenichi Shiratori: Stop reading it, stop reading it.

The chaotic Shiratori household quickly returned to order.

Looking at the busy Moriyama Izumi, Shiratori Kenichi suddenly felt a pang of melancholy and couldn't help but speak his mind. "I feel like an orphan."

"Why?" Senyama Izumi's attention was drawn, and she asked curiously.

"Mom's gone, Dad's at sea all day, and my sister doesn't understand me. Even when she's not in school, she's always nagging me. Sigh~"

As he spoke, Shiratori Kenichi suddenly felt like crying, overwhelmed with sorrow.

He was feeling emo to himself.

Moriyama Izumi gently patted Shiratori Kenichi's head in comfort, then suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her—she finally remembered where she had seen the little girl before!

Izumi Moriyama immediately woke up Kotaro Higashi, who had fallen asleep on the sofa, and told him about the little girl's situation.

“I remember last year on Children’s Day, we organized a visit for the children from the orphanage to the Set team, and I saw this child among them!”

Higashi Kotaro wiped away his drool, immediately perked up, and began contacting the orphanage.

Finally, Kotaro Higashi figured out the little girl's identity!

The little girl's name is Kana. She did come from an orphanage, but she was recently adopted by the Iwatsubo family.

The Iwatsubo family was quite famous, a well-known wealthy family in the area. However, the Iwatsubo couple had never had children, so they adopted Kana.

Both Izumi Moriyama and Kotaro Higashi were somewhat moved. Kana had also recovered. Although her life had started badly, with her being abandoned by her parents and becoming an orphan, she had become a rich second-generation in the blink of an eye, and not just any ordinary rich second-generation.

She should be called Miss Kana now!

When Kana left, she gave the two flowers she was holding to Kenichi Shiratori.

Whether it was a misperception or not, Kenichi Shiratori actually saw a certain kind of approval in Kana's eyes.

Kana seems to have acknowledged certain aspects of Kenichi Shiratori.

Kana: Orphans help orphans!

Kenichi Shiratori: Huh?

……

The investigation around the temple eventually came to an end.

Neither the police nor the SEAT team were able to uncover any useful clues.

Midnight.

Some vines began to quietly sprout from somewhere in the temple.

Then, the vines encountered a five-year-old child.

Baili Yuan held a mini version of the Transcendent Combat Device in his hand, looking at the vines sprouting in front of him.

"Although my senses have become dulled, I still have reliable partners. Stop testing me, I'm here to take you!"

Baili Yuan, who came to the temple with the Set team during the day, didn't find anything, but he asked the elves to help him explore and sense things.

In the end, Gengar got what it wanted.

Gengar sensed a strong negative energy and the vengeful aura of ghosts.

The root of it all lies beneath a grave specifically built for abandoned children.

The children buried in this grave are all abandoned orphans who, having no parents and whose identities are unknown, have been placed together.

Most of them were infants who, after being abandoned, were not discovered in time, did not receive help, and eventually died.

Kana, who was abandoned and then adopted by an orphanage, was actually lucky.

Burying these children in the temple and erecting tombstones is also a way to hope that the incense offerings from the temple can dispel the resentment of the children who died unjustly, and bless them to be reborn into a good family in the next life, so that they will not encounter beastly parents again.

However, at some point, vines began to grow near the tombstones of these babies, and beautiful red flowers bloomed on the vines.

Legend has it that these red flowers devoured the bones of children and attacked passersby, hence they are known as "vengeful flowers."

These resentful flowers are not only very similar to the flowers that Kana gave to Shiratori Kenichi, but they are also exactly the same!

Perhaps because of the legend of the Wraith Flower, almost no one comes here, and therefore no one recognizes the true appearance of the Wraith Flower.

On the contrary, many people praise the beauty of the bright red jasmine flower after seeing it.

"Indeed, the flowers that bloom from among the bones are the most beautiful!" (End of Chapter)
