A priest seals peoples' worries in stone shrines. The ascetic tries to stop it, but ends up joining the priest. Chūzenji believes the story is autobiographical and indicates Kubo is the ringleader behind Onbako-sama. Chūzenji, Sekiguchi, and Enokizu go to confront Terada. Chūzenji says that the box with a tin vase containing the written word "mōryō" was a clairvoyance test for Ikuko Nagao and that Onbako-sama is an iron box that contains the fingers of the man behind Terada. After Chūzenji demonstrates that all of Terada's practices are fake, Terada confesses the swindle to the police and reveals that Kubo is his son. Afterward, Chūzenji tells Sekiguchi and Toriguchi that he knew Yoriko would be the next victim because Kubo just went through the Onbako-sama register alphabetically. Meanwhile, Aoki goes to the abandoned shrine Kubo is using, but Kubo escapes by force. Aoki, injured in Kubo's flight, finds and opens the box containing Yoriko's head. Later, Kubo's severed limbs are found.
