There is already a hint in the end of Onikakushi (Abducted by Demons Arc) 2, in the (imo, not very thoughtfully written) short epilogue. Rika comforts Satoko, saying: "It's okay, Satoko ... We'll be able to see Keiichi and the others again." (Rena and Mion are simply referred to as "the others"?? Come on! This might be an appropriate way to talk about it if the two had beaten Keiichi to death, and not vice versa.) "See them again" can also be interpreted as "see them in the afterlife" by someone who doesn't know anything about what will follow, but for those who know it's quite clear.
There's also Rika's cryptic warning to Keiichi not to lose the bat. (I'm not quite sure what she exactly means, though.)
