Kamiyagawa held the [bloody hatchet] tightly and walked forward.
The little old man no longer led the way, but climbed onto Kamiya River's shoulder.
"Abba whining!"
The 8-centimeter-tall little monster sat down majestically.
Kamiyakawa didn't pay much attention.
Let the little old man sit on his shoulders, and you can hardly feel the weight anyway.
In front of the cliff, there is a rugged boulder.
Here, sitting is a woman.
The whimpers and sighs scattered in the wind were all made by her.
Wearing a purple-edged white long-sleeved undershirt, her body is a bit illusory and moldy, as if it will disappear at any time.
The woman has a fair, cold and arrogant face with beautiful features. There is a lingering sadness on this face, her brows are slightly furrowed and her eyes are downcast.
This deep melancholy expression added a different kind of beauty to her.
Beside the woman, there are two masks quietly floating and rotating.
One big and one small.
The big one has a frown, deep eye sockets, two strange horns on the top of his head, protruding eyes like copper bells, a green face and fangs, a ferocious face, and a scary and weird smile.
The other small mask is only one third of the size of the Smiling Mask, and its image itself is not that distinctive.
She has a white face, small red lips, and no expression. She is very similar to the mask used in Noh dramas.
This is what the little old man discovered, a powerful ghost hidden in the deep forest and seriously injured.
Kamiyagawa held the hatchet and stood seven or eight meters away from the boulder.
Naturally, Mask Monster noticed the existence of strangers early on.
"Woo."
She whimpered softly, and the two masks around her, one large and one small, began to rotate rapidly.
The largest of them, the sly mask, quickly attached itself to her face.
The originally beautiful and gloomy face suddenly became terrifying, the green face and fangs, and the "whimpering" sound in his mouth also turned into a "Jiejie" weird laughter.
The mask seemed to have grown on her face, embedded in her flesh.
However, that's all.
Mask Kaidan did not take the initiative to attack Kamiya River.
She was so weak that she seemed to disappear at any moment.
The man holding a hatchet and the ghost wearing a mask faced off like this for dozens of seconds.
Both sides remained motionless.
The mountain wind blows, the trees in the forest sway, and the dusk falls in the distance.
Buzzing.
At this time, Kamiyagawa's cell phone finally vibrated.
[Encountering strange stories from strangers, laughing at Prajna (alienated body).]
[The foreign visit catalog has been updated.]
[Ghost story name: Laughing Prajna (alienated body)]
[Classification: E-Class]
[Status: In the world of ghost stories]
[Interview progress: 31%]
(When the progress reaches 100%, the ghost story can freely travel between the real world and the ghost story world according to its own wishes.)
The entry under Foreign Visit Progress is the most common one, [Public Opinion Acceleration].
"Prajna?"
Kamiyakawa glanced at the phone.
Prajna, a traditional Japanese ghost story.
It is a kind of ghost born from the strong resentment and jealousy of women. It has no physical existence and is usually the image of a beautiful woman wearing a mask.
There are many origin stories about Prajna, the most popular one is this -
The protagonist of the story is an honest, gentle wife like Yamato Nadeshiko, who takes care of the housework, cares for her husband and raises her children.
But this woman's fate is not good, and she is not kind to others.
Her man cheated on her after marriage, and used tricks with his lover to force the woman to leave home, and also took possession of the property left to her by her natal family.
The lover forced the man to send the woman's child to the mountains, where she eventually died of cold and starvation. When the woman found out, she was heartbroken and ran madly to the mountains. No one has seen her since.
Later, the man and his lover gave birth to a boy.
The little boy was very cute and always liked to smile with his eyes squinted. One night, the man and his lover heard the child's laughter coming from next door while they were sleeping.
When the two opened the door next door, they only saw a horrifying sight. They saw a evil ghost holding their child's head in its hand and throwing it into the air while laughing.
The lover was frightened, screamed and fell to the ground unconscious.
From then on, the man lost all his wealth, became impoverished, and became stupid and crazy.
This evil ghost seeking revenge is the original Prajna that the woman transformed into after her death, with her soul and resentment lingering.
Because he has frequently communicated with the boss [Purple Shangzhang] on the forum recently, Kamiyagawa has gained a lot of knowledge about ghosts and monsters, and is no stranger to this kind of masked ghost.
According to the previous introduction of [Purple Above], there are three kinds of weird stories about Prajna.
They are——
The weakest smiling Prajna.
Laughing Prajna is the lowest form of Prajna and is not very aggressive. Robbing children's things and making pranks and making children cry every day are her favorite things.
But it basically won't hurt anyone.
The next level is white-faced prajna.
Bai Prajna is aggressive, more powerful, and will seek revenge and kill for reasons.
The origin story of Prajna that Kamiyagawa had seen on the Internet was generally considered to be the incarnation of White Prajna.
Finally, there is the highest level of red-faced prajna.
Red Prajna is the most ferocious evil spirit among the three kinds of Prajna. She will kill and eat people at will without reason or reason, and her methods are extremely cruel.
The types of Prajna are easy to distinguish, just look at which kind of mask she carries with her.
As for what Kamiyagawa is encountering now, he is the lowest level of laughing Hannya.
The one with green face and fangs is the ugliest, but the weakest.
Kamiyakawa stared at the weak masked monster, his eyes wandering: "This laughing Hannya is an alienated body."
He had encountered strange stories about alienation before.
It's the Xiqi boy with the hatchet in his hand.
That hatchet JK is estimated to be about the same as a golden ordinary. It is more agile and stronger than the average headless high school student. After death, there are as many as 10 soul crystals exploded.
Kamiyagawa's equipment [bloody hatchet] also exploded from her body.
If it weren't for the moldy dried fish that attracted Ama to the Ama House, Kamiyagawa really wouldn't be able to handle that hatchet JK.
"Is this manifestation of the alienation of Laughing Prajna the second mask that I carry with me?" Kamiyagawa continued to look at the mask ghost story.
The latter felt uncomfortable being looked at by strangers as if they were looking at him as if they were raped, but he had no strength to resist.
I can only laugh weirdly like "Jie Jie" to show my protest and dissatisfaction.
Kamiya didn't pay much attention to Mask Kaidan's reaction and continued to go his own way.
Normally, a prajna only has one mask.
There is only one of smiling face, white face and red face.
But the Prajna in front of me is unusual. Xiao Nizi has two faces.
A formed smile, and a blind guess that it is a white mask that has not yet fully grown.
"I always feel like her white mask will grow up again. If it really grows up, what will this prajna become?"
Kamiyagawa gently pressed his upper teeth against his thumb joint, and thought about contracting the alienated smiling hannya in front of him into a shikigami.
Although Laughing Prajna is E-level, it is an extremely special existence.
And to be fair, with Kamiyagawa's current level of three punches and two kicks, it would be tantamount to wishful thinking to contract a D-class Kaidan on his own.
Just like the one wandering around in the forest writhing around, Kamiya River would send it directly when he saw it.
Let alone talk about conquering the other party and using it for one's own advantage.
The seriously injured E-class alienated Kaidan seems to be the first shikigami most suitable for the contract.
This is just like picking it up for free!
"The hundred soul crystals I gave you are well worth it." Kamiyakawa said to the little old man approvingly.
