The night after I contracted Mary, Kamiyagawa came to work in the store.
"Uncle Yuuki wired me 1.4 million, and said he would like me to be his assistant in the future. The Metropolitan Police Department also has awards and bonuses ready to be given to me. If I can make steady money with my current spirit-removing skills, the convenience store here
The work can almost stop."
Kamiya has this thought.
Loading the Kaitan game has indeed brought about earth-shaking changes in his time travel life.
After I started making a lot of money by removing spirits, my part-time job at the convenience store became dispensable.
Maybe it won't be long before Kamiyagawa will quit his job here.
However, he will still work hard before formally resigning to the widowed store manager.
There is a beginning and an end.
Moreover, the store manager Kawai usually takes good care of him.
The atmosphere in the store is a bit dull tonight.
The widowed store manager was still in the store, but instead of working, he was sitting on a seat in the dining area, scrolling through his cell phone.
Okamura, who usually talks a lot, is very dull.
In the past two days, he always liked to say: "Miss Maruta still has an extra thousand yen in the store."
But now I don't say this anymore.
There are overwhelming reports from various media outlets about the "Extreme Fat Pink Fairy Organization".
Of course, store manager Kawai and Okamura also saw it.
Moreover, they also saw such a name in the list of victims subsequently announced - Haruori Maruta.
Confirmed.
This Haruori Maruta is Miss Maruta who has not been seen recently.
Maruta was killed.
Seeing the people who usually live a normal life around me, suddenly they become a few pale characters on the list of victims.
This feeling is embarrassing and powerless.
We waited until after 10 o'clock in the evening.
This is the time Kamiyagawa clocks in and gets off work.
There were not many customers in the store.
The Pink Fairy incident has caused a lot fewer people in Tokyo to go out at night recently.
Manager Kawai, who was bored and watching short videos in the dining area, suddenly stood up and walked to the counter: "How about we play foreign games tonight."
"ah?"
Kamiya, who was ready to get off work, and Okamura, who was obviously not at work, were both a little surprised.
"I just saw that over at Shinjuku City Park, it is said to be the place where the Metropolitan Police shot Sago Furuhashi to death. Many people spontaneously paid homage to the deceased there tonight." There was not much fluctuation in the tone of the Widow store manager's tone.
"So, let's go overseas."
…
Shinjuku.
city park.
On the cobblestone pavement, you can see lit candles and various bouquets of flowers every few steps.
There are also some black and white photos of women.
Some people were praying or sobbing on the side of the park.
Probably the victim's family.
It is currently unknown who was the first person to place black-and-white photos and bouquets of flowers in this place. But Shinjuku City Park has now become a place to comfort the dead.
A corner of the park.
The posthumous photo of Miss Maruta is on display.
Mr. Okamura squatted alone next to the portrait and was quiet for a while. Then he silently took out a wrinkled 1,000 yen note from his pocket.
He used a burning candle to light the banknotes on fire.
It should be illegal to burn coins that are still in circulation.
But Okamura didn't think about it that much.
The 1,000 yen note was quickly burned to ashes.
"I never had a chance to tell you that you gave me an extra 1,000 yen that day. Oh, and the drinks you bought were delicious." Okamura-kun said.
He looked at Maruta in the photo, his eyes were bright and the tear marks on the corners of his eyes were clear.
This kind lady has always been so good-looking.
He is obviously such a good person.
You obviously work so hard to live in this hellish place called Tokyo.
Now I can no longer see her.
"The bad guy who hurt you has been shot dead by the Metropolitan Police."
Okamura wanted to say something more, but he couldn't. He and Miss Maruta probably didn't have much in common.
There was silence for a while.
Okamura stood up from the portrait and left the city park: "Be careful on the road, Miss Maruta."
After that, not long after, Kamiya and the widow store manager also left side by side from the park.
Not a word was said to each other.
After they left, a few more bottles of matcha-flavored drinks were placed next to Maruta's portrait.
Inside the park, the candlelight is dim and the atmosphere is quiet.
Even if the evildoers have their consequences.
The deceased is gone after all.
…
at the same time.
Somewhere unknown on the island of Japan.
A round table conference room that is not small in size and well decorated.
Twelve chairs are placed around the round table.
Eight of them are occupied, and the remaining four are empty.
Among the four vacant chairs, one originally belonged to Kohashi Furuhashi Sawa.
If the twelve chairs correspond to the twelve hours of the day, and the position of Furuhashi Sawa is the "Ji hour" among them, guess it clockwise.
The other three vacant chairs should belong to: Zishi (midnight), Yinshi (early morning), and Youshi (twilight).
The conference room was quiet at first.
The eight people had no communication with each other.
Until, the man sitting in the Haishi position spoke. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, his manners were elegant and gentle, and his voice was low and charming:
"I called everyone here today mainly to discuss one thing, but I guess you already know this - Kabuki is dead."
The remaining seven people didn't give much reaction.
The lean man sitting on Shen Shi's seat answered the question in a nonchalant manner. His voice was high-pitched and funny: "I called you all out just for this reason."
The girl sitting in Chou's seat also spoke, her tone unable to hide her smile:
"Kabuki is so bad. The pink fairy with flesh and spirit on her body is said to have a thousand faces and a thousand skins, right? How could she be caught and killed by people from the Metropolitan Police Department? I'm really happy to death."
"Ahem. Quiet." Haishi knocked on the top of the round table.
"Lawyer." An old man sitting in the Weishi seat spoke. This old man had a goatee, a very calm temperament, and a strong artistic temperament. "Kabuki is dead. What do the adults of the third grade say?
?"
lawyer.
This is another code name for Haishi.
During the Demonic Period, in addition to calling each other by the twelve hours, each member of the organization also has an additional identity code.
This is a tradition that started a long time ago.
The deceased Sawa Koshiki Furuhashi, whose identity code was "Kabuki".
The old man with the goatee is still in his prime, and his identity code is "Painter".
The "time code" is iron-clad, while the "identity code" is fluid and will change due to the change of members in the organization.
"No, they don't care much." The lawyer shook his head.
Shen Shi, who was on the other side of the round table, answered again: "How could it be possible? Do those three adults from the last three hours really care about our life and death? Oh, we don't even know who the three of them are.
whee."
Twelve members of Encountering Demons.
It is divided into upper three o'clock and lower nine o'clock.
Among them, Yinyou, the third-year-old son, never attended meetings.
No one even knows who they are, no one has seen them.
Only people who are in the position of "Hai Shi" can have a very small amount of secret contact with them that does not involve their identity.
"It doesn't matter." The daughter of Chou Shi moved her chair back and put her legs on the table. "Anyway, as long as I can get a large amount of financial subsidies from them, I don't care at all who those three adults are."
"So, there is still no next plan to explain?"
Weishi Painter always seems to be the only person in the room who is willing to have serious discussions with the lawyer.
"Yes. As usual, everyone can continue to do their own things."
Lawyer Haishi said this.
…
The next day.
Kamiyagawa woke up, washed up, turned on his mobile phone, and went online to do his daily routine.
The real "limited time event" has ended, and it's time to focus on liver games.
After taking the call, the first thing Kamiya did was to call out Prajna.
The beautiful silhouette of the purple and white undergarment is outlined in response to the call.
"laugh!"
As soon as Prajna appeared, he snorted heavily at his own Onmyoji.
Then, he drifted half a step away from the Divine Valley.
She was floating in the air, with her hands folded on her chest, and two masks, one large and one small, spinning around her waist.
In the past two days, the arrogant little shikigami has been losing his temper because of Kamiyagawa's contract with Miss Mary.
Today, my attitude has softened a bit.
There is a vague intention to step down the Kamiya River.
"Why are you still angry? By the way, I have something to give you."
Kamiyagawa is also good at it.
The angry girl has the intention to soften her attitude. At this time, she should send a carefully prepared gift, pursue the victory, and end the cold war in one fell swoop!
Kamiya took out the [Fairy Fairy's Dough] he had bought previously from the [Mirage Bag]: "Do you like this?"
Prajna half-closed his eyes, glanced at Kamiya, and then at the white leather mask.
Then, she descended slightly from mid-air and stretched out a hand.
Open your palms.
Get! Come!
It seems that Prajna is interested in [Fairy Fairy's face], maybe she really has the same compatibility with this special weapon.
"Don't be angry if you accept it." Kamitani said with a playful smile towards his shikigami.
The white leather mask was handed into the hands of the arrogant little shikigami.
For a moment, there was a strange white energy rising from Prajna's body, as well as the [Fairy Pink Fairy's face].
"Oh! It's coming, it's coming! It's probably almost the same as when Fu Bao was in the well!" Kamiya was excited.
But contrary to expectations, the white air did not last long before it dissipated again.
Prajna is still prajna.
[Fairy Fairy’s face] has not changed either.
Kamiyagawa:?
Prajna:?
Onmyoji and Shikigami looked at each other for three to five seconds.
The atmosphere is a bit awkward.
"laugh!"
Afterwards, Prajna felt ashamed and annoyed, so he put the [Pink Fairy's Face] into the hands of his onmyoji, and turned back to the shikigami statue.
"What's going on?" Shen Guliu looked confused.
I just felt like Prajna was going to absorb the [Fairy Fairy's face], right?
Buzzing.
Mobile phone vibration.
A text prompt comes in——
[Your Shikigami Laughing Prajna is compatible with the relic of ghosts and gods [Face of the Pink Fairy]!]
[However, due to the lowered rating of Laughing Prajna, this ghost relic cannot be absorbed for the time being. Please increase the shikigami rating as soon as possible!]
"Uh... is it because Prajna's rating is too low that it can't absorb that powdery skin?"
This text can be regarded as answering Kamiyagawa’s questions.
Then here comes the problem.
How to improve the rating of Prajna?
Kamiyakawa doesn’t know yet.
He only knew that Prajna was indeed on the verge of upgrading recently.
Because Tenjin Valley has been trying to feed small requiem candles to her shikigami statues these days, similar text prompts have been popping up in "Kaitan Monogatari"——
[Your Shikigami Laughing Prajna has accumulated and digested enough Requiem Candle Qi!]
[Before the rating is improved, you can no longer draw upgrade experience from the Little Requiem Candle!]
"I always feel that the key to improving the shikigami rating is related to the Weeping Blood Mingzhu that the candle-making monk has never understood."
Kamiya made such an unfounded guess.
"Speaking of which, after Prajna failed to absorb the powdery skin just now... he seems to have become even more angry..."
Yes, giving gifts to sum up the effect is counterproductive.
But let's be reasonable.
It's not my fault that you can't absorb that thing...
…
[Regional mission: 80% exploration of Inuming Pass, completed! (83/100)]
[Task rewards are distributed and you get the Gao Tianyuan pass!]
During this time in Kamiya, my daily life in the game consisted of either hanging up the game to brush up on the proficiency of various skills, or exploring the deep mountains and forests of Inuning Mountain with my little old man.
Thanks to the unremitting efforts of the little old man, today's exploration mission was finally completed.
"There are still 13% of Inuning Pass that has not been explored. This is a deep mountain and old forest. I don't know if it is just that it has not been fully explored, or there is some hidden map."
Kamiyagawa plans to open the Inunaki Pass map to 100%.
This way you won’t miss any hidden pictures or props.
However, I can take a break from this game and explore related things in the morning.
[Takamagahara Pass (unrated special prop): A pass to enter Takamagahara. But as the potential next owner of Takamagahara, it is your privilege to pass to and from this god's palace.]
[Perhaps this pass card can be given as a gift to some special friendly monsters for use?]
The newly obtained special prop is a small token made of neither gold, stone, wood, nor jade.
There are no patterns or decorations on it, and it is simple and monotonous. But when you hold it in the palm of your hand, you can feel the wonderful surge of power contained in it.
"The certificate to enter Takamagahara?"
The hints in the description of this new item are quite obvious.
This little token is not for me, the future co-master of ghosts and gods.
Kamiyagawa held the [Takamagahara Pass Sign] in his hand and turned it over and over for a while.
Shattered Takamagahara is Kamiya’s current base camp in the Kaidan world.
Kamiya is already very familiar with the relevant mechanisms involved.
Just like what is said in the prop description.
As the co-master of ghosts and gods during the growth period, Kamiyagawa is the potential owner of the palace of gods, and can enter and exit freely with the [Takamagahara Kamito].
Hannya and Mary, who signed a shikigami contract with him, can also appear freely in Takamagahara.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
In addition, gods and ghosts like the medicine seller should have their own way of entering Takamagahara.
Kamiya has done experiments before.
Ghost stories like Zashiki Warashi and the little old man who follow themselves in the form of "spiritual descendants" cannot truly enter Takamagahara.
Although their golden ball bells and the bronze bird pair were still carried by Kamiyagawa.
However, Fu Bao and the little old man will be suppressed by a powerful and irresistible force in Broken Gaotianyuan, and cannot come out of their respective attachments.
"The Takamagahara Pass Card is supposed to eliminate the irresistible external pressure, right? It allows ordinary ghost stories to move in Takamagahara."
"So, the purpose of this thing is actually to stuff NPCs into Gao Tianyuan?"
Good guy.
Shattered Gaotianyuan, how dare you say that you are not a fire transfer sacrificial site!
