\nUpon her arrival, she discovers all villagers have gone missing and the village is infested with a disproportionate number of unlawful spirits.
\nElectricity, communications, and the internet in the village have been all cut-off,
\nand Shiraishi also finds out that someone is pulling the strings behind the incident.
\nShiraishi pursues the mystery with radio assistance from her boss Kohinata and her junior co-worker Maruoka.<\/p>\n
