Kimura Kazuki did not rest at all for the whole night .
In the middle of the night, he was still pacing around downstairs from time to time . Sometimes he went upstairs to patrol the corridors . As it should be, those actions were carried out quietly without disturbing the slumbering residents of the house .
He had even used Peeking Eyes three times, but he did not find any peculiarity in the villa .
His realm had reached the fifth of the Foundation State, but he would rise to the sixth Foundation State soon .
It would be more difficult to advance to the next level of Foundation State when his level was at a higher level . Meanwhile, the demand for Reiki would also increase as his level increased . Although the demons in Akichi High School were on the verge of reaching Metamorphosis State, there were many impurities in the Reiki of the demons after death . After removing the impurities, the excess amount of Reiki that allowed Kimura Kazuki to reach his current realm had been out of his expectation .
He had reached his limit by using Peeking Eyes three times . If Kimura Kazuki continued to use Peeking Eyes, it would cause permanent damage to his eyes .
In the end, he still could not discover any oddities . However, Nakagawa Akira had told them that she had the same dream again .
Kimura Kazuki frowned slightly . He could not believe that it was just an ordinary dream . It was bizarre that the old lady had been having the same dream for more than half a month . Even if the old lady thought about it day and night, it was still impossible for it to affect her dream . After all, ordinary people could hardly control their dreams .
Therefore, Kimura Kazuki believed that someone was trying to convey a message through that dream .

The one who sent the message through the dream might not be a demon . Otherwise, Kimura Kazuki could have easily sniffed out the demon"s presence, unless it was at Metamorphosis State . Even if it was a spirit and could evade normal means of discovery, it was near impossible for it to hide from the scanning of Peeking Eyes, unless the spirit had metamorphosed too .
However, in the era that Reiki had yet to replenish, there were not many ghosts that could metamorphose .
The reason he could encounter those at Akichi High School was due to the unique nature of the multi-armed demon . It was a combination of the whole cla.s.s, which was why the demon was so strong . As for Reika and Motohas.h.i.+ Kiyomi, it was because there were two souls in one body . Speaking of which, both of them existed due to exceptional circ.u.mstances . Even so, Kimura Kazuki still found them to be unusual .
Although he did not discover anything for the whole day, Kimura Kazuki was not discouraged . There were so many extraordinary things in the world . It was inevitable that there was something that he could not understand .
Hence, Kimura Kazuki could only apologize to Nakagawa Aokiji and leave . After all, he still needed to attend his cla.s.ses . His studies took priority above anything else .
Nakagawa Aokiji understood him well, so he was not offended . He even sent Kimura Kazuki to the tram station to show his grat.i.tude .
“I will inform you if anything unusual happens,” promised Nakagawa Aokiji .
Despite the anticlimactic experience, his opinion of Kimura Kazuki had remained the same . He had witnessed Kimura Kazuki"s ability before and experienced the horror of the demons in Akichi High School for himself . Kimura Kazuki managed to annihilate all the demons in Akichi High School in such a short time . The display of power had really convinced Nakagawa Aokiji of his strength .
“Alright!”
Although Kimura Kazuki said so, he did not really expect anything much to happen .

However, the next day, he was eating in the dining hall and discussing the novel with the Furuhas.h.i.+ sisters during lunch break when he received an urgent call from Nakagawa Aokiji .
“KimurKun, you should come over right now! There really is a ghost!”
Kimura Kazuki was startled by the urgency in Nakagawa Aokiji"s voice . He replied immediately, “I will be there soon, do not act rashly . ”
Upon saying that, he got up and hurried to the tram station without even bidding the Furuhas.h.i.+ sisters farewell . His empty plate was also left haphazardly on the table .
On the way to his destination, he called his teacher to put in a request for a leave of absence . After half an hour, he arrived at the gated entrance to Kageyama Park .
When he was about to call Nakagawa Aokiji, he looked up and spotted him standing by the guardhouse . He was stunned for a moment, before speaking up cautiously, “NakagawKun, I"m here . ”
Nakagawa Aokiji felt relieved the moment he saw Kimura Kazuki . After filling in the guest log, they walked to his car together .
While getting into the pa.s.senger seat, Kimura Kazuki caught a glimpse of Nakagawa Akira, who was sitting in the backseat . The old lady looked terrified . She looked at Kimura Kazuki and smiled weakly, “Ghosts are real . ”
Seeing her in such a state, Kimura Kazuki could not help but return a smile at the old lady . “Ms . Nakagawa, I presume that you believe me now . ” To be honest, he had speculated before that the old lady was too lonely at home, so she made up the story and asked all her family members to take action . But after thinking about it, the old lady did nothing except watch dramas, television shows, and movies every day . Sometimes, she would play mahjong when she had nothing else to do . Time flew by quickly . She would not have felt lonely at all .
Nakagawa Akira remained silent and just nodded her head . Obviously, she was still in shock after what had transpired just now .

With Kimura Kazuki sitting next to him, Nakagawa Aokiji was finally able to calm himself . After taking a deep breath, he told him everything that had happened .
It turned out that this happened because of the jade pendant worn by the old lady .
Kimura Kazuki was unable to pinpoint the peculiarity of the place . Half a month ago, Nakagawa Akira"s husband had accidentally dropped and chipped the jade pendant that she kept in her bedroom while she was showering . A corner of the jade was fractured . Tomohito was frightened when he saw what he had done . The jade pendant was won as part of a pair by Nakagawa Akira in an auction eight years ago . Both jade pendants looked identical .
Although the jade pendants existed in a pair, both of them were individual pieces of jade . One of the pendants was given to Amami, who was the servant Kimura Kazuki saw yesterday .
Spending money to restore the chipped jade was a trivial matter, but Tomohito"s biggest concern was that the jade was cherished dearly by his wife, so much so that she never took it off unless it was necessary . Otherwise, she would be wearing it all the time . It was clear how much Nakagawa Akira valued the jade pendant .
As a husband who loved his wife very much, Tomohito came up with a solution . He borrowed Amami"s jade pendant and subst.i.tuted it for his wife"s . After that, he looked for a professional to mend the chipped pendant .
The mending process took half a month .
Nakagawa Tomohito returned the mended jade to Nakagawa Akira yesterday and confessed that he had chipped it a few weeks ago . They had been married for a couple of decades, and Tomohito did not want to hide the truth .
He decided to conceal the matter initially as Nakagawa Akira had worn this jade pendant for eight years . He was afraid that his wife had developed a mental attachment to the pendant, which might make her anxious if she had to part with it while it was being mended .
“After having lunch, I went for a walk . When I came back, I started to feel drowsy, so I went up to my bedroom to take a nap . I took off the pendant and placed it on the bedside cabinet, then all of a sudden, a woman materialized from the jade . ”
Although her breathing had stabilized now, her heart was still pounding as she was still in shock . Fortunately, she did not suffer from any heart disease . Kimura Kazuki would have to meet her in the hospital instead of Kageyama Park .
Even though it was proved that ghosts did exist in the world, Nakagawa Akira was still skeptical about Kimura Kazuki"s capability . After all, Kimura was too young, and he was still a student . Her deeply-ingrained traditional mindset made her doubt his ability . However, Nakagawa Aokiji had solemnly a.s.sured her about Kimura"s ability, so Nakagawa Akira could only believe in him reluctantly . If she were to make a decision, she would prefer to invite a priest from the temple to exorcise the ghosts .
Soon, Nakagawa Aokiji pulled up in front of his house . All of them got out of the car .
Amami had gone back after preparing lunch while Tomohito was working at his company . For the time being, only Kimura Kazuki, Nakagawa Aokiji, and Nakagawa Akira knew about the matter . Nakagawa Aokiji did not tell anyone else about it since it would be better if fewer people knew about it . If his father caught wind of this matter, it would definitely add to his stress . After all, he had had enough stress managing all the affairs at his company .
Kimura Kazuki got out of the car without waiting for the other two people . He took the lead and approached the door . However, the door was left open a crack . Clearly, Nakagawa Aokiji and his mother left the house in a hurry . After all, there was a ghost in the house . Ordinary people would not dare to stay in the house any longer after knowing that there was a ghost inside the house .
He pushed the door open and entered . He did not bother to change his shoes at the entrance since he wanted to catch a glimpse of the ghost as soon as he could .
As soon as Kimura Kazuki came to the living room, his eyes fell on the semi-corporeal ghost sitting on the sofa . Kimura Kazuki was so surprised he blurted the first name that came to his mind .
“Furuhas.h.i.+?”
