Cheek caress.

A traditional ghost story that appears in southern Yamanashi Prefecture.

It is said to haunt a dim valley path at night, and whenever someone passes by, they will be touched by it on the cheek.

"A pale hand stretched out from the darkness and stroked it smoothly. The touch on the cheek was like a withered awn tassel moistened by night dew."

In addition, among the monster stories that Kamiya has read, there is also a kind of monster called "Slender Hands and Long Hands", which is probably the same type as "Cheek Touch".

The strange story of "thin hands and long hands" is that someone once saw several strange hands that were as slender as vines in the living room, stretching out from the gaps in the room partition and waving to people.

In addition, in modern urban legends, there are also similar strange stories such as the "Hand of Hokkaido" that appear in the deep forests of Hokkaido.

As for the cheek caressing monster that Kamiyagawa ran into tonight, it was probably born from this background of ghost stories.

But the aggression is far stronger than in the story.

This can be seen from the tragic situation of Uchimura Yasuji in the end. If Kamiya comes here tonight and takes a late look, this guy's life will probably be decided.

…

Kamiyakawa rushed into an abandoned building with a knife.

The man in the room had already been forced to the second floor by Mary and Inugami who had just chased him out.

When he arrived, he saw in the corner of the corridor on the second floor, tangled blue-grey arms curled up into balls, their palms twisting back and forth.

This thing seems to have no other body parts, and its arms are its main body.

"Ouch——"

The dog, which always likes to be the first to grab meat, howled and rushed forward with flames all over its body.

"Um?"

Kamiya, who had just come up, instinctively felt that something was wrong.

how to say.

The "cheek caress" that Inugami is attacking now is somewhat different from the one that tore Uchimura Yasuji's face downstairs just now.

Although there is also a ghostly aura in his body, it is much weaker.

boom!

There was a loud noise.

The dilapidated corridor shook, and dust and debris shook off.

The dog's charge did not seem to bite the "cheek caress", but directly hit the wall, and the "cheek caress" that had been huddled in the corner quickly disappeared.

Ta-ta-ta.

Mary moved slowly in the corridor dragging the machete.

Her cold gaze was fixed on the ceiling at the other end of the corridor.

At the same time, Kamiyagawa also stared at the position where Mary moved.

That’s right, the real cheek caress should be there!

Whoosh!

The huge machete in Mary's hand was swung from bottom to top, and thick bloody red mist overflowed from the thick blade, making a boiling noise.

This knife cuts it down.

Most of the ceiling at the end of the corridor collapsed.

Rotten rotten wood collapsed from above, and blue-gray twisted cheeks also rolled down from above.

Mary's sword was wielded with great skill.

Such a heavy blade could only chop the ceiling into pieces, without directly damaging the cheek hidden above.

Its level of precision is comparable to the difference between slaughter and surgery.

Since being promoted to B level and receiving the blessings of the shrine and faith.

Mary seems to be less aggressive in fights than before. At least she won't give up on the battlefield. Instead, she will follow Kamiyagawa's instructions, appear where she is supposed to be, and do what she is supposed to do.

"Ouch!"

Behind Mary, the Inugami, bathed in fire, spewed out a corrupt aura and jumped out.

Reflected in the faint moonlight in the corridor, Inugami's black fur rippled like waves in the forest. The long bristling hair made it look like it was a lot bigger. There were dots of sparks on it, which contained extremely high heat.

The dog had just been teased once, and the dog was very angry.

When I see the cheek kiss really show up, I will naturally not let it go.

And one can imagine what would happen if a D-class Kaitan ran into an angry upper-level C-class Kaitan.

Click, click, click——

The sound of gnawing was heard, and the smell of burnt barbecue filled the air.

The cheek caressing made no sound, and the sounds made by the twisted palms scratching and slapping randomly were no longer heard after a while.

Jingle bell, jingle bell.

Zashiki started ringing the bell, bringing good luck to Kamiya River for a short period of time.

[The Candlemaker's Blood Pump] flew out with a roar.

[Cheekfu (alienated body) has died and received 176 soul crystals!]

[Obtain D-level Kaidan’s heart-breaking work!]

Weird talk about withdrawal.

…

Killing Cheekfu is not a big surprise for Kamiya.

Now that I have acquired my specific passion, everything is going well.

However, what he was more curious about was what the "cheek caress" that appeared like a phantom just now was.

"The special ability of cheek caressing? Although this seems to be an alienated body, it doesn't look like it."

After Kamiyagawa put away the trophies, he suddenly felt something and looked up. There seemed to be something else on the ceiling that was cut open by Mary.

Crunchy——

Some more rotten wood fell.

A figure rolled down from the ceiling and fell.

Kamiyakawa stepped forward to check and realized that it was a corpse. It looked like a man in his early twenties.

He must have been dead for a while, his body was cold.

You can see that the cheeks and abdominal cavity have been torn open, and the blood stains are solidified and dark red, which is horrible to see.

"So it's a little late. Someone has already died here, touching his cheeks and hands."

Kamiyagawa thought so.

Then, he heard a steady, weak "buzzing" sound coming from behind.

Holding the knife, he turned around and saw a black drone floating behind him.

The original camera of the drone actually projected a light screen like a projector. The white and slightly bluish light beam reflected the flying dust, and finally projected a 3D image of a young man wearing a convenient sweatshirt.

It seems that the image projected from the drone is what the victim in front of him looked like before he was alive.

"The obsession with the dead, wandering ghosts, and other strange stories seem very weak, and they may become unstable and dissipate at any time. But is this wandering ghost attached to the drone?"

Seeing the scene in front of him, Kamiya was able to roughly react.

The "cheek caressing phantom" just now was probably projected by this strange man controlling the drone.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Therefore, this is a wandering ghost story that has the ability to keep pace with the times.

There is nothing surprising about this. Kamiya Chuan is not surprised.

Sisters like Mary and Xiao Wu at home are also modern ghost stories with the ability to control electronic devices.

"Mysterio, right?"

Kamiyagawa held a knife and stared at the ghost of the victim who only had projection illusions in front of him, looking up and down. Behind the 3D projection, the black drone was still hanging in the air, and its four rotors continued to make a steady and gentle buzzing sound.

Not to mention, the 3D illusion projected by this drone blessed by supernatural power is quite similar.

It's no wonder that the dog's head just got hot and he pounced on it without much thought.

"You can only be considered unlucky. You died from Cheek Fu's hand before I came over. The wandering soul's obsession turned into ghost stories, and it looked like it was about to dissipate after Cheek Fu was cured."

"Considering that you just touched our cheeks and disturbed us, you may have been involuntarily, so I won't argue with you. If you don't want to disappear, I will arrange a good place for you to go."

Kamiyagawa said this to the drone ghost story.

In fact, the other person probably didn't understand what he was saying at all.
