dusk.
The crow, covered in the dim light of the sunset, landed on the street wall, tilting its head and staring at the passers-by.
This is a corner convenience store not too far from Karin High School.
It was also the place where Kamiyagawa worked part-time during his previous downturn.
I thought that after graduating from high school, I might not have the chance to come here again. Taking advantage of the free time to attend the graduation ceremony today, Kamiya came here after finishing all the things in school.
At this time, by coincidence, store manager Kawai Ikumi and former colleague Okamura are both here.
The two of them were very happy when they saw Kamiya walking into the store.
Manager Kawai invited Kamiya to eat oden, and the three of them started casually chatting about recent developments.
From the store manager and Okamura, Kamiyagawa heard a little bit about the little crew-headed Nagatomo Masao.
Ever since the incident at Kisaragi Station last time, Nagatomo had the opportunity to join the countermeasures room.
Later, during the transition period of life, I lived in the low-rent apartment where Kamiyagawa lived, and when I had time, I would work part-time at the convenience store owned by Mr. Kawai.
The store manager and veteran employee Okamura spoke highly of Nagatomo, who is very serious about his work.
And I heard from them that Changyou has ended his part-time job now.
Well, that's normal.
Kamiya knew that Nagatomo had already gone to practice with Uncle Yuki and received a fixed salary from the countermeasures room, so he no longer needed to work in a convenience store.
Moreover, because of the existence of a special "spirit behind" brought from the other world, Xiaopingtou performed quite well under Yuuki.
Okamura is not working the night shift today. At this time, he has already changed out of his uniform and put on his regular clothes.
The employees responsible for the subsequent period have also arrived at the store.
Because Kamiyagawa came, Okamura did not leave, but stood chatting: "Speaking of Nagatomo, that guy's girlfriend is so cute. Damn, I'm so envious. When can I get a girl like that?
friend."
"I advise you not to think about it. Working hard is more practical than anything else."
Kamiya chewed the radish in the oden and mercilessly poured cold water on him.
The store manager Kawai next to him also nodded in agreement.
"Hey, you don't have to be so heartless, right? At this time, shouldn't you cooperate to comfort me and say, 'Come on, you can definitely find it' or something like that." Okamura muttered dissatisfied.
As soon as he finished speaking, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
Because it was no longer working time, Okamura answered the phone naturally: "Ah, Narita, I know, I know... I'm already off work. I'll come back later. You guys go ahead."
"Another call from those strange friends of yours?" Store manager Kawai put one hand on his waist and glanced at Okamura helplessly.
"What do you mean by a strange friend? They are obviously fellow ghost hunters." Okamura retorted.
"Detect... spirit?"
When Kamiyagawa heard this word, he put down the bunch of fish balls he just picked up again.
"Yes, yes, this circle is quite popular recently. Kamiya-kun, let me tell you, there is a very beautiful girl among my friends, hehe."
Speaking of this, Okamura seemed to get excited all of a sudden.
"Is it popular? Why?"
Okamura shook his head with a mysterious expression: "Because of what happened to Yumeo before. Such weird things happened, don't you think the 'spirit' should be real?"
"Didn't some experts refute the rumors before? It is said that Yumemen is a rare group psychological suggestion incident." Store manager Kawai interjected.
"You can't believe what those experts say."
Store manager Kawai: "It's better that you don't get involved in this kind of thing, Okamura. Things like gods and ghosts are so illusory."
Okamura didn't take this seriously: "Hey, store manager, if you really think that 'spirits' don't exist, why are you so hesitant about this kind of thing?"
"Oh, I can't persuade you. Wouldn't it be better to put your interests and energy elsewhere?" Store manager Kajing was even more helpless and didn't say anything more.
Kamiya, on the other hand, has never expressed his position on this, and just frowned.
Okamura glanced at him and suddenly thought of something: "By the way, Kamiya-kun, didn't you say that you were going to major in monster studies in college? You must be interested in this kind of thing, right? Look, look at this."
With that said, Okamura clicked on his phone and showed it in front of Kamiya.
"What I am doing is folklore research, folklore."
Kamiyagawa shrugged, but still looked at Okamura's mobile phone screen.
There is a photo on the phone, it looks blurry and a little out of focus.
The shooting location seemed to be a somewhat deserted indoor corridor.
Nothing special at first glance.
But if you look closely, it seems like you caught something strange at the end of the corridor.
When you zoom in on the photo, you can see two pale and twisted human hands hanging from the ceiling at the end of the corridor, seemingly out of thin air.
But because it's so blurry, I can't actually see it clearly.
It's hard to say whether it's really two human hands or something else.
"Isn't this picture of yours all stained? I can take the picture more clearly than you with a landline phone." Kamiya said this, but his brows furrowed a little tighter, and then he asked, "Where was it taken?
?”
"It wasn't taken by me, it was posted by some of my colleagues. The shooting location was a remote and abandoned hut near Takenozuka in Adachi District. They asked me to go explore there together tonight."
"Do we have to go at night?"
"Don't you always choose to explore ghosts at night? Everyone has their own things to do during the day. And the focus is not on this, but on the girl in my group, she is super cute." Okamura showed a longing expression.
Kamiyagawa was unable to complain.
I think these ghost-detection enthusiasts are really hard-nosed.
How is this different from forming a group to deliver food to possible ghost stories?
If you really want to catch a ghost, you might as well come to me directly.
There are all kinds of weird stories around me, and I guarantee that you will never have unnecessary curiosity about such things again after just one glance.
Kamiya put down the oden in his hand and patted Okamura's thick shoulder: "Come here with me."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although Okamura was confused, he followed Kamiyagawa out of the convenience store door and came to the trash can behind the door near the alley.
There is no one here.
In the past, employees at the convenience store would occasionally come here to smoke.
"What's the matter, so mysterious? Do you want to smoke too?" Okamura still looked suspicious.
"No." Kamiya shook his head, "Show me the specific address of the place you want to explore tonight."
"Ha, I said you must be interested." Okamura enthusiastically clicked on a discussion group on Line and showed Kamiyagawa a position:
"How about it, do you want to join us later? But let's talk first. Kamiya-kun, you are so good-looking, there will definitely be no shortage of girls to like you. That cute girl in the same hobby, you can't..."
"Okamura."
Kamiyagawa did not let Okamura continue speaking, and interrupted him with cold eyes.
"Yo."
Next to Kamiya, a red deer with a long horse face and a pair of huge antlers appeared.
"YoYo."
The red deer shook its big horns, and an aura of stupidity and ignorance immediately enveloped Okamura.
The latter could not see the presence of the red deer at all, and his expression was slightly dull: "Huh?"
"Listen." Shen Gu held the [Thousand Silver Needles·Change] in his hand and spoke. In the palm of his hand, the silver threads slid, and the depraved eyes appeared in it, "You are completely indifferent to the matter of detecting spirits.
I am interested and will never participate in such boring activities in the future.”
"Oh, oh, yes. Who would go to such a boring thing..."
Okamura's expression was dazed, and his eyes unconsciously met Ma Lu's pair of pupils that were constantly spinning.
