Kamiyagawa felt no malice from the mutilated white figure on Nagatomo's body.
I didn't even feel the slightest hint of evil.
This is very abnormal. You must know that even the smallest ghost stories, such as obsession with wandering spirits, should carry a small evil atmosphere.
"Unless that thing is not evil."
Kamiya silently guessed in his heart.
He usually learned a lot of theoretical knowledge in the spirit removal industry from Onizuka. After thinking for a few seconds, he came up with something that could correspond to the white afterimage on Masao Nagatomo's body——
Creatures.
The term "spirit" is generally used to refer to the soul of a living person who has left the body.
In ancient times, people in many countries and regions believed that the human soul could leave the body when certain prerequisites were met.
This is no exception in Japan.
In Japanese legends, there are many descriptions about living beings. The ancient Japanese also believed that if you hate or admire someone excessively, your soul may leave the body and become a living being and float away while you are sleeping.
Find and harass the people you care about.
People who are being harassed often mistake the living beings for wandering spirits.
But in fact, there are fundamental differences between living creatures and wandering souls.
Life and death must not be equated with each other.
Wandering spirits carry the aura of death and evil.
But this is not the case for extremely special creatures. There is no evil in the creatures, and they even have a bit of aura that is unique to humans.
At this point, it actually corresponds to the thing on Xiao Pingtou.
"But if this thing is a living thing, then where is its original body? Why doesn't it choose to go back to its own body? Moreover, why do living beings appear in Aokigahara in the other world? It is from those living beings sent in by Kisaragi Station.
Appears in people?”
Kamiyagawa stared at the white afterimage in silence, with many questions popping up in his mind.
The latter seemed to feel his gaze and quickly entangled himself back into Nagatomo's body.
"It seems that he has taken the little crew chief's body as his own..."
According to the theoretical knowledge I heard from Onizuka, living beings cannot leave their bodies for too long without the support of evil aura.
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are individual creatures, because the bodies that are still alive are relatively strong and may exist alone for a longer period of time.
But living beings are too fragile after all. Without support, they can easily dissipate on their own.
"It seems that this guy Nagatomo has a special physique and can basically be proven. The creature chose to entangle itself in his body, and it should be that he regarded him as the basis of its existence."
Might this relationship be akin to symbiosis?
"Well, Kamiya-kun's master...I'm sorry, what should I call you?" Perhaps because Kamiya-kun had been staring at him for too long, Nagatomo finally couldn't help but speak.
"You don't know my real name yet. However, you can, like some people, call me Jianyu Thunder God."
Kamiyagawa recovered his thoughts and replied like this.
"Thunder God...? Lord Thor, do you see something in me?"
Kamiyakawa thought for a while, and in order to maintain the inscrutable image of his invented "master", he said: "Do you want to get rid of the things on your body?"
"Did you see it?"
"Hmm. Eliminate?"
"No." Xiao Pingtou shook his head, with a look of uneasiness and pleading on his face, "It doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. It has been helping me from the time it first appeared on the Ruyue platform to now."
He was really worried that Kamiya-kun, a powerful master, would raise his hand and wipe out the thing in him that kept shouting mottos.
You know, although that thing is strange, all the maxims given so far are to help yourself.
"what ever."
Kamiya pretended not to care and nodded.
But he still kept an eye on the creatures that were entangled in Xiao Pingtou.
In fact, if Kamiya was asked to drive away the white afterimage now, he was not sure whether he could succeed.
After all, creatures are not evil spirits.
And that thing seemed to have become entangled with Xiao Pingtou's own soul, making it somewhat indistinguishable and becoming a part of his body.
It is still unknown whether ordinary methods of removing spirits can exorcise them.
"There is a creature entangled in Little Flathead's body. It is still unclear whether it is a blessing or a curse. But logically speaking, the creature should be non-aggressive, and I can't feel any malice from that thing...
"
Putting things in order, Kamiya put aside the matter of living beings for the time being.
The top priority right now is to send Little Flathead back to the real world. It’s probably not too late to discuss the issue of living creatures in the long term after he gets out.
But the question is, how to get them out?
This point involves the optional missions of [Kisaragi Station], and I don’t have any clue yet.
Just when Kamiyagawa was worried, the bronze bird necklace hanging around his waist suddenly started to shake slightly.
Apparently, the little old man Mini who was exploring Aokigahara alone should have brought some information.
Just now, when I was fighting against a group of children, the bronze medal was shaken once, but Kamiya couldn't spare the time to deal with it at that time.
"You guys, wait for me here."
Kamiyagawa glanced at Nagatomo and his group in front of him with cold eyes, and at the same time summoned the evil-devouring dog god to keep an eye on them and prevent them from running around.
He turned around and walked into the depths of the dense woods beside the railway track.
Xiao Pingtou didn't dare to ask what this mysterious and powerful Lord Thunder God was going to do.
He didn't dare to say anything, and the remaining four people even less had the courage. Just standing and facing Kamiyagawa's leather-covered appearance, they had exhausted almost all their courage. The two sides were fighting, and they almost wanted to leave first.
.
When Kamiya's back disappeared into the woods, the talkative old man first took a careful look at the huge black dog in front of him, and then cautiously spoke to Nagatomo Masao:
"That, I mean, the little classmate with a crew cut."
"Call me Changyou."
"Oh, Nagatomo, your relationship is really strong. It's amazing that you have acquaintances in a place like this. That Lord Thunder God, he...he..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "He is the teacher of a friend of mine. You should have heard it just now."
"Then Lord Thunder God, can you take us out of this hellish place?"
"I think it's okay."
Nagatomo nodded, and part of his unconditional trust in Kamiyagawa was naturally transferred to "Thunder God-sama".
But as soon as he finished speaking, the roaring whisper in his ear rang again: "I don't think so!"
…
Deep in the woods.
After confirming that Nagatomo and others could no longer see him, Kamiya took off the Nagitori bronze medal from the Jinhaori belt under his leather jacket.
Then a little old man surrounded by purple ghostly energy appeared.
Because Mari and the others are shikigami, the effect of [Oni's Leather Clothes] will not leave a correct image in the hearts of Nagatomo Masao and others.
But not the little old man.
It's better not to be seen by them or not to be seen by them.
Kamiyagawa: "What's wrong? Did your shadow find anything?"
"Abba! Abba!"
The little old man was trotting around the ground in excitement, nodding his head.
"Okay, okay, calm down."
"Aba Aba!"
After a much smoother exchange than before, Kamiyagawa learned about the discovery of the little old man Mini——
Outside his body, he found a place where strangers gathered in Aokigahara.
A neutral ghost story was also discovered there.
"Neutral weird stories, humanoid, tall gluttonous old woman, lodge in the depths of the sea of trees."
This is the characteristic of the corresponding ghost story given by the little old man.
"Some living people trapped in the other world gathered around a neutral ghost story? This is quite interesting."
Kamiya River became interested.
This must be seen.
I happened to have just rescued Masao Nagatomo and his five others, but I still don't know how to deal with them.
It's definitely not possible to take it with you.
In order to find a way to release the strangers in the other world, Kamiya will definitely need to conduct a detailed exploration of the entire Aokigahara map in the future.
Carrying five burdens in this process will inevitably lead to constraints.
Kamiyagawa can't stay in the world of ghost stories forever. If he can't find a way for strangers to get out of trouble in a short time, he will eventually have to return to reality.
Since the living people at the stranger gathering point can gather together, they must have some experience in surviving in the world of ghost stories.
It is much safer to send Xiao Pingtou and others there than to let them stay in the wilderness.
In addition, there may be some information and clues related to Kisaragi Station in the stranger gathering point.
Anyway it's worth a visit.
…
Kamiyagawa returned to the railway track and said three words to Nagatomo and others concisely and concisely: "Follow me."
Say the least words to pretend to be a master, and try to maintain a mysterious and unpredictable persona.
He didn't say where he was going, or whether he would ensure everyone was sent out.
But even so, no one disputed his words.
Nagatomo and his group had no choice but to accept it.
It is better to follow the arrangements of this mysterious and powerful ghost than to survive alone in this dangerous world.
The group of people set off on the road, following the Kamiya River away from the railway track and deep into the sea of trees.
"Aokigahara is not my territory. You living beings do not belong here. I help you because of Kamiya's prayer. Whether you can leave in the end depends on your luck."
On the way, Kamiyagawa gave Nagatomo and others some advice in a cold tone.
Not making promises easily is also in line with the character of a superior person.
Mysterious and mysterious rhetoric such as "good fortune" and "fate has arrived" are also very helpful in maintaining such a persona.
Leave other things to others to figure out.
None of the living people who accidentally entered the other world dared to answer the question and just nodded. Even the old man who talked the most was very quiet and thoughtful.
Only Masao Nagatomo turned his head briefly and listened to the roar of the creatures in his ears.
This is fine, Kamiya River is happy and peaceful.
Because he didn't plan to let the little old man out to blatantly lead the way, he drew a simple map to the gathering point of strangers on his mobile phone in advance with the little old man's help.
However, without a scout to lead the way, even with a sketch map, it is still difficult to identify the direction in the mountains and forests.
But fortunately, the others didn't know the way, and didn't even know where Kamiya planned to take them, so no one questioned him the whole time.
It took Kamiyagawa about two hours, taking a lot of detours, and occasionally having to leave the crowd to summon a little old man to calibrate the direction, and finally arrived at the final destination with difficulty.
By the time they reached the end, those ordinary people were exhausted.
A group of people arrived deep in the sea of trees, in front of a large wooden building with a retro style.
This building has two floors, and the height of a single floor is at least five meters, like a giant's residence.
From the outside, the layout looks like an old hotel or a hot spring house.
There is also a plaque standing at the door, which reads -
[Shanlaoju]
Shan Lao, a monster that looks like an old woman and is said to live in the mountains. This should be the true form of the neutral monster in this area.
In various ghost stories, there are good and bad images of this kind of monster.
There are stories about the incarnation of the mountain god who bestows harvests and wealth on the land.
In some stories, the mountain aunt is a terrifying evil spirit who eats travelers and children. However, it is said that after the death of the evil mountain aunt, the land will become rich in harvest.
Kamiyakawa stood at the door of Shan Lao's residence, secretly calling Prajna's name in his heart.
Soon, a beautiful silhouette of purple and white ruffles was outlined.
In a tacit understanding, he knocked on the wooden door of Shan Lao's house on behalf of Kamiyagawa.
After Prajna returns home, she can be as arrogant as she wants, but in front of outsiders, she will still give her own onmyoji some face.
After knocking on the door, extremely heavy and slow footsteps could be heard from inside the house.
With every sound of footsteps, the door of Grandma Shan's Residence seemed to tremble.
At the same time, the obvious sound of chewing food could be heard coming from inside.
Squeak——
Not long after, the wooden door was opened from the inside.
An old woman with a height of about 3 meters and a loose shawl poked her face out.
The woman had a plump, long face and a particularly burly physique. Her upper body was wrapped randomly with some dirty coarse cloth, and leaves or bark were wrapped into a close-fitting lower skirt.
It seems that this should be the neutral mountain grandmother.
The mountain lady was carrying a piece of burnt barbecue on her shoulders.
The grilling process of the barbecue must be very bad. The outer layer is burnt black, but the inside is not completely cooked. It is covered with bloodshot eyes. It is impossible to tell what species the meat comes from. It can only be distinguished from the thigh meat of some kind of deformed creature.
.
"Is there barbecue in this world? Generally speaking, kaitan will turn into ashes and dissipate after death. Only during the battle can the dog barely get a bite of kaitan's raw meat to eat... But the degree of deformity seems to be
It’s not like human flesh.”
Kamitani glanced at the bad barbecue on the opponent's shoulder and thought to himself.
Shan Lao, on the other hand, glanced at the people outside the house, and at the same time greedily tore the barbecue on her shoulders, stuffed it into her big mouth, and kept slurping. Shang Sheng's blood mixed with her saliva dripped from the corners of her mouth.
After swallowing the piece of meat, she spoke in a voice as ugly as a drake: "Hey - there are five more living people who have gone astray, and an adult who can't see clearly? Rare visitors, rare visitors."
Shan Lao's eyes finally rested on Kamiyakawa, who was wearing a ghost leather suit.
