Li Ang continued, "Unfortunately, later on, Fukushin Heigen was bewitched by his wife and brought his mother, Fukushin Miyako, from the countryside to live with them.

His mother had always been very strict with him since he was a child, and even after suffering from Alzheimer's, she didn't change. Her temper became increasingly irritable, and she often created trouble at home, tormenting Fukushin Heigen's mental state.

Under Miyako's influence, Fukushin Heigen's migraines became more and more severe, and he often experienced memory lapses.

This meant that the third personality, which believed in the celestial maiden Yihime, was constantly growing stronger, and could sometimes even control Fukushin Heigen's body and erase his memories.

Under the influence of Fukushin Miyako and Fukushin Rie, Kyoko and Hiroshi gradually became followers of the celestial maiden Yihime.

Later, the doctor that Kyoko married, who worked at a sanatorium in Kawayama City, was probably also a member of the celestial maiden Yihime's organization.

In the entire family, only Fukushin Heigen was kept in the dark.

Or rather, only Heigen's main personality was kept in the dark.

His second personality witnessed everything and silently calculated the sacrificial time, which occurred every 21 years.

Finally, the 21-year cycle arrived, and Yihime Shrine chose the youngest member of the Fukushin family, Emon Shion, as the next sacrifice.

The second personality also thought of a way to avoid Fukushin Heigen's second personality and his family, and to directly and secretly contact Heigen's main personality,

so that he could prevent the tragedy from happening before the festival in May 2019."

"..."

The police inspector took a deep breath, "A very brilliant guess, but it's just a guess. You don't have any solid evidence to..."

"The birthplace of purple dye,

A thief holding a golden staff entwined with twin snakes walks gracefully,

The white moon goddess Diana rises slowly in the night sky,

Signifying the regretful passing of the father of the Constantine Dynasty,

Nine muses offer flowers for this."

Li Ang interrupted the other party with a poem from Fukushin Heigen's diary, "Do you know what this means?"

"How would I know?"

The police inspector replied impatiently, "Isn't it just the ravings of a person with split personalities?"

Li Ang shook his head, "Fukushin Heigen's main personality doesn't know what exactly happened to his uncle. He even once suspected that the Fukushin family's bloodline contained a gene that would inevitably drive people crazy, and he never revisited the folklore path his uncle wanted him to take after he grew up.

But his second personality still remains there, with those warm, rational memories.

These poems are written for Fukushin Heigen, a secret language that only he, only his main personality, can understand."

The police inspector said in shock, "...What?"

Li Ang said with a sneer, "I'm sure you've studied that diary over and over countless times. Although these poems are written in Japanese,

you won't get the answer by analyzing them in Japanese.

If you take out every other word, every two words, or pick out the first, second, or third word of each line, you'll only get a bunch of garbled characters. The same goes for translating them into English."

The police inspector was silent.

"The first line, the city of Tyre (Tell), founded around 3000 BC, was an important Phoenician slave city-state, where the Phoenicians discovered and refined the earliest purple dye—murex purple.

The second line, a thief holding a golden staff entwined with twin snakes walks gracefully, refers to Hermes, the ancient Greek god of commerce, travelers, thieves, and animal husbandry.

The third line, the white moon goddess Diana rises slowly in the night sky, refers to the ancient Greek city of Ephesus, located near the mouth of the Cayster River on the Aegean coast. It was the center of worship for Artemis (later merged with the Roman goddess Diana)."

The fourth line, signifying the regretful passing of the father of the Constantine Dynasty, refers to the city where Constantine's father, Constantius I, died, York in England.

The fifth line, nine muses offer flowers for this, refers to Apollo, the ancient Greek god of light, prophecy, music, and medicine—he is always accompanied by nine muses.

The sixth line, the first king wearing the southernmost crown of the Aegean Sea, refers to Rhadamanthys, the King of Crete and judge of the underworld.

The seventh line, the hero who jealously plundered the Golden Fleece, determined to embark on his own adventure, refers to Jason, the prince of Thessaly and the hero who took the Golden Fleece on the Argo.

The eighth line, giving gold coins to the ferryman of the River Styx, refers to Charon, Hades' boatman and the ferryman of the River Styx.

The ninth line, giving the wooden horse to the ignorant Trojans, refers to Ulysses, the hero who offered the wooden horse plan during the siege of Troy by the Greek allied forces.

The tenth line, mediating the struggle between the Charioteer and the Bear, refers to Lynceus, one of the Argonauts, who later became the Lynx constellation (located between Auriga and Ursa Major).

The eleventh line, defeating the man-eating Minotaur, is the hero Theseus, who solved the labyrinth of Minos and defeated the Minotaur.

The twelfth line, a six-winged creature covered in eyes inside and out sings "Holy" day and night, refers to the six-winged angel Seraph. From Revelation 4:8.

The thirteenth line, the one who controls the sword of fire demarcates the territory—the territory of the archangels, the second heaven in Christian legend, Akira.

The fourteenth line, among the holy cities of the world—the Vatican.

The fifteenth line, the mother of all sins—eating the forbidden fruit, leading to the original sin and the beginning of all other evils, Eve.

The sixteenth line, transforming mortals into chariots of gods—Judaism believes that all ancestors of the Hebrews will become chariots of gods after ascending to heaven, Thrones.

The seventeenth line, crossing the river as a group—the Hebrews, led by the patriarch Abraham, crossed the Euphrates and Jordan rivers to Canaan, meaning people who came across the river.

The eighteenth line, first giving birth to a son who is red and hairy—In Genesis, Isaac and Rebekah's eldest son, Esau.

The nineteenth line, praying that I may receive God's help—In the Bible, Gadrel, the ancestor of human meteorology, gave mankind the methods of making tools and weapons.

The twentieth line, eventually promoted to an angel bearing a spear—Ithuriel, the angel carrying a spear.

The twenty-first line, but attracting a counterattack against the world of light—Raguel, the "Friend of God," is responsible for monitoring the good deeds of angels. This sentence is from the Book of Enoch.

The twenty-second line, my Lord, I hope all this is worth it—My Lord God, Lord.

All the words described in the poems, when connected together, form the secret language that the second personality wrote to Fukushin Heigen."

The police inspector didn't react at all. It was difficult to even remember this long speech, let alone analyze it.

Fortunately, the bald doctor was smart enough and muttered to himself, "tyre, hermes, ephesus, york, Apollo, rhadamanthys, easun, Charon, ulysses, Lynceus, theseus, seraph, Akira, vatican, evA, thrones, hebrew, esau, gadrel, ithuriel, raguel, Lord.

This doesn't form a sentence at all?!"

"The first letters, connect them."

Li Ang said indifferently, "theyarecult, savethegirl."
