	When I looked in the direction John was pointing, a figure drifted out from the trunk of a large tree. I watched it in astonishment. Figures drifted out from the trees here and there. They were faint shadows, but I knew they were people. There were many old men with beards grown long.

	Those men, who had quietly gathered, walked calmly towards the sakaki. Whenever they reached the side of the sakaki, they would vanish. The sakaki’s bell shook each time and a made a sound.

	“When I was performing the purification, there was a force that absolutely wouldn’t come near. If it was a spirit, it should have come seeking purification; therefore, that wasn’t a spirit. I don’t know what it is, but it’s a much greater force. I think that force is what was enslaving all those spirits as shiki.”		“When I was performing the purification, there was a force that absolutely wouldn’t come near.

	“That wasn’t the case. I think the three Rokubu were just shiki, too. Even Masako had said it was ‘sacred ground’, hadn’t she? For the spirits to gather in swarms like they did, it would have to because there’s a special power there, right? Even Nao-san’s spirit called it a ‘monster.’”		“That wasn’t the case.

	“I think Takigawa-san’s back is still bleeding. Since the wounds were so deep. He’ll probably need stitches. They aren’t wounds that can be held together with ~~only~~ bandages. Brown-san also has a deep wound on his arm. It isn’t as bad as Takigawa-san’s, but I think it will need stitches, too.”		“I think Takigawa-san’s back is still bleeding. Since the wounds were so deep.

	Bou-san exhaled once, then stood in front shrine and opened the doors. The figure of the strangely shaped driftwood appeared. There was a simple altar in front of the shrine. Bou-san formed a seal, chanted a mantra and built an invisible temple herein. A barrier descended and the temple was built, then he summoned a Buddha there. I gathered that this was the prayer that Bou-san always did. The invisible temple was made from his energy. Therefore, if Bou-san were to lose consciousness, it would disappear immediately…		Bou-san exhaled once, then stood in front of the shrine and opened the doors.

	Bou-san said and continued his mantra. At the same time, a pale light began to illuminate the surface of the wall. Faint light, which shined dimly, seeped out onto the surface of the wall and formed pale human faces. One after another they rose to the surface here and there, and it seemed as though a countless number of masks were lined up. The faces appeared clearly, opened their mouths, and began to shout. Furthermore, two arms leisurely came out from beneath each face and went forward. The inside of the cave was filled with ~~voice~~ similar to screams.		Bou-san said and continued his mantra.

	The inside of my mind was filled with the thought, “You should run away.” I remembered what happened when the base was attacked. If we cut the nine syllables, the faces would disappear for the time being, however, they would resurface shortly in that case and it would repeat. Even if we were to do that, it would be endless. We would inevitably become worn out…		The inside of my mind was filled with the thought, “You should run away.” I remembered what happened when the base was attacked.

			A red light flowed through the inside of the cave once again. My eyes opened wide in astonishment as a transparent red color extended over my entire field of view. When it disappeared, I couldn’t see any of the faces that had emerged on a great deal of the wall’s surface.

	That was Bou-san just now. When I thought this and looked back, Bou-san was just preparing his Tokkosho. He threw it into the shrine. It struck into the driftwood.		That was Bou-san just now.

	Just as I thought this, there was a ringing in my ears. I heard a low sound as if there ~~was a~~ small ~~insect~~ or something flying deep within my ears. I quickly reached out my hand.
