After sizing up the new visitors, Grandma Shan stepped aside from the gate, showing half of the doorway, and invited everyone to enter.
She said to Kamiya: "My lord, I think we can talk."
"Is it so direct? A gathering place for living people, a neutral ghost talker... let me see what's going on inside."
Kamiyagawa's black eyes covered by the hood of his leather jacket condensed for a moment, and he nodded silently, then calmly walked through the door with the Ichimonji sheathed in his hand.
At the same time, he briefly gestured to Prajna beside him.
The latter understood and floated to the side of the five ordinary people accompanying him.
"I've been here! It's relatively safe!"
Once again, the roaring motto sounded in Nagatomo Masao's ears.
After hearing this, he thought for a moment and then stepped over the threshold of Grandma's residence on the mountain.
The remaining people stood at the door, looking at each other under Prajna's supervision.
Considering that the mysterious and powerful Lord Thunder God and the little flat-headed Nagatomo classmate who dared to hit the devil's head with a stone were both admitted, they hesitated for a while and finally chose to enter the Mountain Lama's Residence.
Shan Lao's residence looks very big, and the layout inside really looks a bit like an old hotel in a traditional style.
The corridor is paved with wooden floors, and there are small independent rooms on both sides.
Most of the room doors are locked.
The mountain lady, who looked like a bloated little mountain of flesh, walked in front, her steps heavy and slow. Every time she took a step, the old floorboards under her feet made a hard creaking sound.
Kamiyakawa calmly followed behind Shan Lao.
The sanitary conditions in Shanlaojuli seem to be not good.
Entering it, you can clearly smell a smell, like a mixture of rancidity and rancidity, a smell that has been fermented for a long time and is disgusting.
Thick yellow stains that are decaying can be seen everywhere on the walls and corridors.
Kamiya spent a long time in the map of Ji Ursu Hospital, and his tolerance for the bad environment has improved a lot, so he basically didn't react at all.
But the Changyou who followed him were not so calm.
The OL sister and the high school girl even started retching.
However, Kamiyagawa didn't pay much attention to them.
His attention was focused on other places, and he could see that there were other living activities in the Shan Lama's Residence, and the number was not too small.
Some of them were like pieces of rotten meat, casually slumped against the wall of the corridor, with empty eyes and dull expressions. They only occasionally uttered unclear and inconsistent gibberish.
The other part is obviously sane.
When they see Shan Lama walking by in the corridor, they will bow their heads respectfully and fearfully to get out of the way. Some people will carefully open the door, peek outside, and then quickly close the door.
However, Shan Lao ignored these people and didn't bother to throw them away. She just chewed the barbecue and walked past them without squinting, as if they were nothing.
"The optional mission at Kisaragi Station asks me to release the living people trapped in the Aokigahara map, so these people in Shan Lao's residence should also be considered as mission targets. There seem to be a lot of people here, judging from the situation in the corridor
Look, the first and second floors add up to dozens if not hundreds..."
Kamiya thought silently in his heart.
Following Shan Lao around a corner, a group of people stopped in front of a large wooden arch door that was different in style from the doors along the way.
In front of the arch, there was a living person sitting paralyzed, seemingly unconscious and stupid.
"Hey - bad luck, I told you not to come to the door of my kitchen."
Shan Lao stretched out her fat, greasy hands, closed her five fingers as thick as a radish, lifted the idiot off the ground, and swung it casually towards the outside of the corridor.
The man fell down in the corridor, groaned listlessly, and then lay still.
Shan Lao pushed open the arched door, moved in, and waved to Kamiya River:
"My lord, if you want to talk to the old lady, then let's do it inside to ensure it's clean. Huh-huh - in addition, these strangers you brought here are not allowed to come in."
Kamiya doesn't have much problem with this.
He nodded slightly to Prajna behind him and walked into the arch.
But Prajna understood Kamiya's intention and stayed outside, bored and continuing to monitor Xiao Pingtou and the others.
…
Inside the arch, there is a spacious space, which is called the "kitchen" by Shan Lao.
How should I put it, it is true that some kitchen utensils can be seen inside. But what is more eye-catching is the blood flowing on the ground, the rotten corners of meat and some sewer organs, which were randomly abandoned in the corner.
The table where cooking preparations are made is filled with dirt and smells bad.
If I have to describe it, this place overall looks like an extremely bloody and dirty Hell's Kitchen.
In addition, on one side of the kitchen, two strange corpses were hung on two huge iron hooks.
It is blue-gray, very tall, with a thin and long body, and the organs on the body are scrawled and twisted.
One of the corpses had its legs removed.
Kamiyagawa could now know where the barbecue that Shan Lao had been eating came from.
But...what exactly is this thing?
If it was a ghost story, why didn't it turn into ashes after death?
In other words, although they look like ghosts now, they are not actually dead yet?
Uh, do you want to call the dog out and try to bite it?
The lady who came in with Kamiyagawa on the opposite side sat down on the dirty kitchen floor, picked up the bad barbecue on her shoulders and took a bite:
"This sir, seems to be very interested in my food?"
"So what is that?"
Kamiyakawa pointed at the two blue-grey corpses.
"It seems that there is no such thing in your territory, sir. That's a pity. This thing tastes very good."
"mountain elf?"
Kamiya was not too surprised by Shan Lao's tone.
It seems that he feels that there are no ghosts in the territory where he, the "Leather Clothes Ghost Story", used to operate, and it is normal for him not to understand this kind of thing.
So he simply let go and asked:
"Those two monsters look dead. Why do they still retain their flesh and blood?"
"Huhu, it seems that you really don't know, sir." Shan Lao chewed the meat in her mouth, drooling, and began to explain vaguely, "Children are transformed from the living meat outside. They do not belong to our world. In many
The place is different from us."
"oh?"
Kamiyakawa frowned and gently rubbed the handle of Ichimonji's sword with his fingers.
From what I heard, the two blue-grey corpses were transformed from living people outside.
"Don't be excited, sir. They turned into monsters, but they have nothing to do with me." Shan Lao said calmly, "Those strangers don't belong here. They entered our world, and even the rules of death are different from ours. They
It's fun to be able to come back from the dead many times, right?"
"Resurrection from the dead?"
Kamiyagawa frowned again, but temporarily released the hilt of Ichimonji's sword.
"Yes. The price of each death is that part of their living soul is peeled off and lost. Losing a piece of their living soul will cause them to forget some things in the past. When they die a few more times, they will remember nothing and know nothing.
When, it means that the living soul has completely separated from the body, and the remaining skin is just a body. And if this body continues to stay in our world, it will slowly turn into a dangerous human being."
