Nagatomo Masao: "From that day on, the kimono doll has been haunting Masame. No matter where he threw the doll, no matter where he was that night, the kimono doll would come to him as 12 o'clock approached midnight.
, following him like a nightmare, singing the song "Caged Bird"."
Nagatomo Masao: "Masame also said that every time he sees the kimono doll, he can feel the other person's eyes falling on him."
Nagatomo Masao: "Also, when he picked up the doll a week ago, the doll still had short hair. Now the doll's hair has grown a lot. You can clearly feel that the doll is alive."
The story of Kenji Masame comes to an end at this point.
Kamiya listened patiently and began to analyze in his mind.
He felt that the kimono doll was not like a foreign visitor, but more like a ghost story about a spirit descending.
Also, it’s been a week since Masame picked up the kimono doll.
But he has not been killed yet and is still in the stage of being frightened by the doll.
"If it is an evil spirit descended from the spirit, this commission can be accepted. Although Prajna is still in retreat for the past two days to upgrade, Mary can move freely, and my strength in reality is not too weak."
"Besides, it's a doll...Mary's body is also a doll..."
After thinking for a while, Kamiya accepted this new commission.
He has always hoped to become a folk spirit exorcist who can make a lot of money in reality, so there is no reason to let go of this opportunity to exorcise spirits.
…
afternoon.
School is over at Hualing High School.
Kamiya met Nagatomo Masao at the school gate, and went to Masame Kenji's home under the leadership of Hirato.
Setagaya-ku, Tokyo.
Setagaya Ward is a residential area in Tokyo that is well-known for its convenient access to the center of the city and a good living environment.
This area is a wealthy area in Tokyo.
Most of the houses in the area exist independently. There are no high-rise buildings. The main reason is that each building has a different design.
Most of the residents in this area are local entrepreneurs, entertainers and cultural celebrities, so when it comes to Setagaya, the first word that local people think of is "rich".
Masame Kenji's home is here.
His home is a foreign-style building with a garden, and a nameplate with the name "Zhengmu Family" hanging on the door.
It was dusk.
There was an all-black Crown car parked in front of Zhengmu's house, and many people were chatting beside the car.
Among the speakers, there was a middle-aged man wearing glasses and with an elite temperament; there was also a woman with an intellectual temperament but a sad face.
These two people seem to be the male and female masters of the Masame family.
Next to the middle-aged couple, stood a weak-looking boy with freckles on his cheeks.
It seems that he is the same age as Kamiya and others, so he must be the unlucky guy Masame Kenji.
Probably due to the severe fright he suffered recently, Masame Kenji was in a very bad mental state. Standing there, he felt cowed and lifeless.
Next to the black crown car, in addition to the family of three, there was an old mage wearing a monk's robe and a scar on his head.
The old monk has white eyebrows and white beard. He looks to be in his 60s. He has a kind face and is in high spirits.
When Kamiya and Nagatomo arrived, they saw the man of the Masame family handing a sandalwood black box into the old monk's hand with a serious look on his face.
From Kamiyagawa's perspective, there was a vague and sinister aura symbolizing Kaitan leaking out of the black box.
It is estimated that what is inside is the singing doll.
"It seems that I came at the wrong time." Seeing this, Kamiya thought silently in his heart.
That amiable old monk looked like a fellow traveler.
Damn, someone is grabbing the order!
Afterwards, Kamiya and Xiao Pingtou approached.
The worried family of three finally noticed the two of them.
"A true man."
Masame Kenji, who looked like he was about to pass away at any moment, saw the crew cut and forced an unattractive smile to say hello.
The two serious parents also nodded towards Xiao Pingtou.
Nagatomo: "Kenji. Also, uncle and aunt, hello."
Xiao Pingtou and Zhengmu have been friends for many years, and they seem to have a good relationship with each other's parents.
Zhengmu's father pushed up his glasses and cast his gaze on the unknown Kamiyakawa: "Who is this?"
"Oh, it's the spiritual exorcist friend I told my uncle and aunt before." Xiao Pingtou replied.
After hearing this, Zhengmu and his wife looked at each other in confusion. Their eyes looked a little strange for a moment: "Sorcerer, are you so young... young?"
After Xiaopingtou heard about Masamu Kenci's experience before, he did tell Masamu's family that he knew a very powerful spiritual master.
And he is willing to introduce him to help Masamune Kenji exorcise the spirit.
Zhengmu and his wife also agreed to this at the time.
However, in the eyes of this wealthy couple, Xiao Pingtou is indeed a good, honest boy and a positive and good friend of their son.
But kids are kids after all.
In fact, they did not have high expectations for the "powerful spiritual master" whom Nagatomo Masao called him.
In line with the concept of "don't put all your eggs in one basket", Zhengmu and his wife are also actively seeking ways to help their son get rid of evil spirits.
Through the introduction of a reliable acquaintance, they contacted Master Ruhui, who was said to be "professional in exorcising the evil spirits of dolls."
That is the old monk beside the Crown Car.
After Master Ruhui heard about Masame Kenji's experience and collected the deposit, he promised to bring the kimono evil spirit doll and Masame Kenji to his temple to perform the exorcism ceremony.
What a coincidence.
Nagatomo and Kamiyagawa happened to catch up with Master Ruhui coming to visit.
After understanding the purpose of the two young men who suddenly came to the scene, Master Ruhui on the other side had a calm expression.
He nodded towards Kamiya kindly, clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha."
Because the other party's attitude was very polite, Kamiya also nodded to him.
However, the scene was still a little embarrassing.
Mr. and Mrs. Masame whispered to each other for a while, and then Mr. Masame, who was wearing glasses, took two steps forward and came to Kamiya and Nagatomo:
"Masao, and this Mr. Kamiya...?"
Kamiyagawa: "Just call me Kamiya."
Mr. Zhengmu: "Okay, then Kamiya. First of all, thank you very much for caring about Kenji. However, now Kenji is going to Master Ruhui's temple to perform an exorcism ceremony. The preparations for the ceremony there are almost ready.
look……"
"It's okay, you don't need to pay attention to me, just send Masaume Kenji to Master Ruhui's temple."
Kamiya could naturally understand the subtext and just waved his hand calmly.
From a first-come, first-served perspective, this business should really be handled by Master Ruhui.
They got here first.
Moreover, Kamiya's business of private spiritual exterminators has just started, and they don't want to engage in vicious competition with their peers.
Besides, Master Ruhui, at least on the surface, is very polite to his young competitor.
Don't hit the smiling person with your hand.
Kamiyagawa couldn't stand even if he wanted to find fault with the other party.
"Yes. Thank you for your understanding." Mr. Zhengmu nodded, "Of course, I won't let you go in vain. I can also pay you the cost of removing the spirit."
