Kamiyagawa clocked out of get off work from the convenience store and received a bento that had expired as usual, ready to go home and heat it up.
The poor co-owners of ghosts and gods have not yet achieved open source in a true sense, and can only reduce expenditure where possible.
"Speaking of which, the 1.4 million that Uncle Yuki promised to remit to me hasn't arrived yet. He doesn't want to cheat, does he?"
With the plastic bag holding the lunch in his right hand swinging back and forth, Kamiya slowly walked towards the train station.
It's late summer now, but the weather is ridiculously hot.
In the bushes on the roadside, cicadas were chirping tirelessly.
After leaving the convenience store and walking about 700 to 800 meters, Kamiya passed by a small park.
It was very late, and there was no one in the park. Only the swings in the park were swinging.
Squeak—squeak—
Kamiyakawa glanced at the position of the swing.
After the level of [Spirit Control] was raised, his spiritual vision was pretty good. In the dark little park, he didn't see any ghost stories.
It's just the sultry night wind blowing the swing.
"Why does this scene seem familiar?" Kamiya suddenly thought.
Oh, I remembered it.
It seemed like the first time I received a call from Mary, I was walking home after finishing the night shift.
Kamiyagawa turned his gaze away from the small park, carrying his lunch box and planning to continue walking forward.
At this moment--
"? A real man, a real man, a real man, a simple thought, a few days, a few heavy ねた, a view of Tokyo today, a beautiful view of Tokyo, a deep and dark sky?"
Kamiya's cell phone rang.
The caller number is displayed as, 1234567890.
A very strange number that theoretically should not exist.
However, Kamiyagawa is very familiar with this number.
"Mary?"
This is the phone genie's caller number.
All--
Kamiya moved faster than he thought. Before the call was automatically picked up, he swiped up the screen and connected the call.
A short and rapid blind tone sounded on the other end of the phone.
However, no one spoke.
So Kamiyagawa directly said tentatively: "Mary?"
After three to five seconds, a gentle reply came from the phone.
"Um?"
It was a familiar cold female voice, but there seemed to be a little imperceptible tone in it, similar to the tone of Mihu who had just woken up.
Listening to this voice, it was indeed Mary.
"You're awake." Kamiyakawa's tone relaxed a little.
It's been a long time since the evil spirit of the phone fell into sleep.
Kamiya had previously thought about whether Mary would sleep like this forever and never wake up.
But when he received another call from the other party today, he felt inexplicably relieved.
"Well." Mary on the other end of the phone finally started to use her usual words at this time, "Hello, I'm Miss Mary. I woke up and I missed you."
Kamiyagawa:……
Is it such a straight shot?
Even Kamiya, who has never been too thin-skinned, felt his face flush when he heard Mary's words.
After taking two deep breaths, Kamiya calmed down and spoke again: "Um, the injuries on your body?"
He recalled the previous scene after Mary retreated from Hanako.
The phone evil spirit was like a porcelain doll that had been smashed and then glued back together, with cracks all over its body, and it seemed to have said it was in pain.
"It doesn't hurt anymore." A cold female voice sounded on the other end of the phone again, but there seemed to be some imperceptible fluctuations in her tone, "Thank you for caring about Mary... I like it."
"That's good." Kamiyakawa nodded while holding the phone.
Then, he vaguely felt something was wrong.
Isn’t the timing of Mary’s awakening a bit strange?
You happened to wake up during the time when the custom girl went missing in the custom town?
Thinking of this, Kamiya frowned.
Could it be that the disappearance of the custom girl has something to do with Mary?
The phone never hung up.
After weighing it, Kamiyakawa tried to ask: "Have you... been sleeping before?"
Mary didn't know what Kamiyagawa was suspecting. After hearing the question, she gave a straightforward answer: "Mary, I have been sleeping. I will call you when I wake up."
Kamiyagawa:……
Good guy.
The atmosphere feels a bit weird.
How is this feeling similar to a couple reporting their itinerary?
However, Mary's answer made Kamiya put aside his doubts.
Generally speaking, ghost stories are less likely to lie, and what they say is more credible.
Mary, in particular, is a model of honesty and trustworthiness in ghost stories.
When reporting the time, say where you are, and that's where you are; tell me on the phone what time I'll be there to kill you, and I'll be there no matter what time it is.
Never lie, only tell the truth.
"Moreover, the missing people in Fushu Town are all young and beautiful girls. In all the urban legends related to Miss Mary, she does not have such a specific attack need." Kamiyagawa thought in his heart.
Thinking about it this way, the incident in Customs Town should indeed have nothing to do with Mary.
She probably just happened to wake up at this time.
"Then when will you come to play with me?" Kamiya asked.
He currently has an empty Shikigami Tetsujin statue, which can restrain C-level Kaidan.
The iron statue has been placed next to the shikigami, waiting for the second shikigami to move in and return home.
In addition, Kamiyakawa also has a substitute paper man in reserve. With the [Takamagahara Kamikaze], you can enter the ghost story world at any time.
Everything is ready.
After four or five seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Mary's voice came again: "I'm sorry to wait two more days."
Kamiya's heart tightened.
Wait two days?
What does Miss Mary want?
So he quickly asked: "Do you want to go find someone else to play with?"
Ever since the evil spirit on the phone defeated Hanako, Kamiya had the idea of constraining her to become a shikigami.
After all, in the final analysis, Mary is a strange visitor, and what she understands as "fun" is to break someone into two with a machete.
If Kamiyagawa doesn't plan to defeat her, the best option is to make her a shikigami and keep her around.
Since she is his quasi-shikigami, Kamiya cannot accept Mary going to "play" with others and hurting innocent people.
It's okay if you don't know, but since you already know, you still have to take care of it.
Mary on the other end of the phone quickly explained, her cold tone seemed a little aggrieved:
"Mary has never played with anyone else, and she only wants to play with you in the future."
"Well……"
Kamiya choked up.
Have you never "played" with anyone else?
understood.
This is the meaning of the fact that so far, I have been the only one who has been killed.
Then, I just want to "play" with you in the future.
It means that from now on, you only want to kill me.
Kamiya Chuanxin said: "Mary's words may sound flattering at first. But understanding her meaning seriously makes people feel chills running down their spines..."
Is this what it feels like to be haunted by a yandere?
However, since Mary, who keeps her promises, has said so, it should be certain that she will not visit reality to kill others.
Just wait two days.
Just hang up and use [Spirit Control] again to increase the probability of catching Mary.
As for why the evil spirit on the phone couldn't come over and chop himself right away.
Kamiya guessed that she might have just recovered from a serious injury and was not ready yet, so she could not visit reality for the time being.
