In the middle of the quiet night when everyone is sleeping, a monster sneaks into the bathroom from nowhere.
It is said that this monster likes to lick the dirt after people take a bath.
The dirtier the bathroom, the happier it will be.
However, the area licked by it will not become clean, but will become increasingly dirty, which cannot be washed away, forming annoying stubborn dirt.
Kamiyagawa first looked at the panic-looking big fluffy rat in front of him and thought:
"Kucha... I remember that he is a monster who loves to lick dirt."
“But this Kuuchang seems to be the reverse of the ‘Kuchang’s background story’ that I know, right?”
The Kuucha who built this place in Arakawa does not have the big tongue that is the hallmark of a monster.
Judging from the way it introduces itself, it seems that it prefers to use the thick square towel around its neck as a rag to clean.
And judging from how clean and tidy the house is, the dirt will not make the house dirtier and dirtier.
It's really serious cleaning.
"Perhaps this little guy was born based on some folk tales that I haven't read. Or he may be an alienated body."
"By the way, can Guchang look like this? A big furry rat..."
According to Kamiyagawa's current experience, the differences between different individuals of the same kind of ghost stories are sometimes quite large.
For monsters like Kuuchang, when Kamiyagawa was chatting with Masaki Yukinari before, he heard him mention an anecdote within the organization——
It is said that there was a young spirit exterminator in the official organization who once encountered a very strange ghost while doing the task of exterminating spirits.
That creature didn't look like a big rat, but a weak girl with a long pink tongue.
In a sense, the Kuchan that the young exorcist met looked more like a monster girl.
The wet tongue is completely stretched out and can hang to the navel.
Likes to lick everywhere.
The young spirit remover did not cure the evil spirits he encountered.
And for a long time afterwards, he begged Uncle Jiecheng to teach him one and a half moves of the Acacia spirit control technique...
"Why did I encounter a big rat?"
But then I thought about it, it’s not impossible for a big mouse to do it.
If there really was a beautiful girl with a pink slippery long tongue, licking her everywhere in the house every day...
It feels weird.
"Anyway, I have to keep this big rat who loves cleanliness. If we move into such a big house, cleaning will be a big problem. Although Prajna is also good at housekeeping, she already has to do a lot of things.
."
After thinking about something related to Kuuchang, Kamiyagawa turned his attention to Hiyoribo.
Rihefang.
According to legend, it is the fusangshen of the old Sunny Day doll.
In Japan, the word "Fō" means monk.
Therefore, the literal meaning of the monster Hiyoribo should be "Sun Monk".
In the folklore stories corresponding to Hiyoribo, most of these strange stories do exist in the form of monks.
"But how come this one I met is a Thumbelina? And she seems to be very intelligent. Is she alienated? Oh... She said she can call her Sao Qing Niang."
Saoqingniang is a paper-cut image of a woman hanging under the eaves when the rain stops and the weather clears up in some parts of China.
Japan's sunny dolls are generally believed to have evolved slowly after the image of "Sunny Girl" was introduced.
"Hiyorbo is related to the Sunny Doll, and the Sunny Doll is related to the Sunny Girl. If she alienates in this direction...it seems understandable that she turns into a girl." Kamiyakawa speculated in his heart.
In addition, judging from the situation at hand, the two little ghosts found in the house, Kuuchang and Hiyoribo, were both descended from spirits.
It can be seen that the spiritual object of Jiuchang is the small wooden basin on top of its head.
And Hihebo's spiritual object is naturally the Sunny Doll she carries on her back.
…
"Guchang and Saoqingniang. I have understood it clearly. Guchang will clean this house, so what will you do, Saoqingniang?"
After listening to Hiyoribo's self-introduction, Kamiyagawa was silent for about half a minute, thinking a lot about the information related to the two monsters in front of him, and finally spoke.
And the short 30 seconds during which he was silent were as unbearable as torture for Kuuchang and Hiyoribo.
"I, I... can stop the rain and pray for sunshine." Because he was named, Hiyoribo tried to hold back his tears and hurriedly started to market himself and introduced his own advantages:
"It can also make the house dry and warm. During the rainy season, as long as I stay at home, the things in the house will not get moldy. I am very capable..."
"Well, it's true. You two are quite capable. Okay, don't cry. I didn't say I wanted to kill you."
Kamiyagawa gently placed the unsheathed Ichimonji on the ground with one hand and nodded.
The two ghost stories I caught tonight are both home-based tool ghost stories.
"From now on, you can continue to live in this house and get along well with my family and friends here."
"Don't run outside if you have nothing else to do. You two are too weak. It's very dangerous outside. If you encounter any aggressive monsters or violent exorcists, you will be eaten or killed easily. Follow me.
The people here stay together, they will protect you two and ensure your safety."
Kamiyagawa added this.
He really had no intention of getting rid of Kuuchang and Hihebo.
These two spirits are neither aggressive nor harmful, and each has their own abilities, so they are good to keep at home.
"You said you would protect us..."
Hiyoribo carefully swallowed his saliva and looked at the room full of fierce strangers and the human leader. His expression was a little frightened, but he did not dare to say anything more.
Kamiyakawa placed the Yimonji in his hand on his lap, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "By the way, Sao Qingniang."
"I, I, I am! Master Kamiya, please tell me!"
Hiyoribo nervously lowered his hands and responded.
"I just want to ask. You said you can stop the rain and pray for sunshine. I understand this as the ability to affect the weather. Since you can affect the weather, will you in turn pray for rain?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Huh?"
Kamiyagawa's question made Hiyoribo a little confused. The Sunny doll she was carrying on her back simultaneously lowered half of her body and tilted her head.
It is indeed a bit difficult for a little monster transformed into a sunny doll to go against his own nature and ask for rain.
"It looks like it won't happen anymore."
Kamiyagawa was not too persistent and shrugged.
But Hiyoribo probably wanted to prove his worth, so he hurriedly muttered and added: "...I can learn it. I feel that if there is something to help, maybe I can learn it."
The "certain things" she said were probably referring to ghostly relics.
Hiyoribo is a monster that prays for good weather, and in traditional Japanese monster legends, there are still some monsters that have the ability to pray for rain.
For example, the Rain Girl and the Rain-falling Monk.
Praying for sunshine and praying for rain are both abilities of the weather system. If we can really get the strange relic of the rain-praying monster, Hiyoribo might really be able to absorb and fuse it and learn the ability to pray for rain.
"Oh, okay."
Kamiyagawa remained calm, but he remembered Hiyoribo's words in his heart.
I want to take the time to go to the official "warehouse" to see if there are any such relics available for exchange.
If you can successfully raise Hihefang to maturity in the future, you can consider giving it to her.
As for why he had the sudden idea of wanting this little monster to learn to pray for rain, it was naturally because——
Kamiyagawa's best technique, Water Zang Yin Lei, will be greatly enhanced in rainy conditions!
Just imagine, in future battles, if Hiyoribo, who has learned to pray for rain, acts as a pendant, Kamiya raises his hand, and the dirty and dark thunder will run rampant in the rain curtain, and the tide will roar and the lightning will be triggered.
How cool would that be!
…
"Little old man, Dashi, Gao Shan, you guys go back to the low-rent apartment. I'll stay here tonight. Help me pack some daily necessities and bring them over. Oh, by the way, bring Wu too, don't let her
Left alone in that apartment over there."
Xiaowu hasn't woken up since he used "Future Vision" last time.
And what Kamiya said about "bringing her here" was actually bringing Satoru's spiritual object, which was the old lottery phone with peeling paint.
The non-combat unit hearse group and the little old man obeyed the order and left temporarily.
Kamiyagawa stood up from the floor with Ichimonji and called Zashiki Warashi back to the Golden Ball Bell.
Finally, he looked at Kuuchang and Hiyoribo who had retreated to the corner of the room, and asked:
"By the way, have you ever dealt with the things in the utility room?"
There are dirty things in the utility room.
Kamiyagawa felt this when Mr. Doi took him to visit the house just now.
Under the huge cabinet in the corner of the utility room, he could feel an evil aura.
Moreover, it is different from the almost harmless aura of little monsters carried by Kuuchang and Hiyoribo.
The evil atmosphere in the utility room is aggressive and contains strong resentment.
Judging from Kamiya’s current relatively experienced experience in removing spirits.
Generally speaking, weird stories born in public opinion are not likely to carry resentment, unless the background story that prompted their appearance is very special.
Ghosts transformed from the souls of the dead are more common with resentment.
The Crow Lady, the Girl in the Box, and even Usagi Maru I met before were all like this.
Therefore, based on this guess, the things under the cabinet in the utility room should belong to ghost stories about the undead, and may be related to the family who died in this house eight years ago.
"Um...no."
Suddenly I was asked another question, and it was about the situation in the utility room.
Hiyoribo, who had already sat down on the floor, stood up in a panic like a primary school student who was unexpectedly called on in class:
"Sir Kamiya, the things in the utility room... sometimes act very scary, but they never come out."
"It's scary sometimes?"
"It just makes some scary noises."
"oh."
"Then, Guchang and I don't know the rest. Although we were attracted by the smell in the utility room, we usually don't dare to go near it."
As Hiyoribo said, "I was attracted by the smell of the utility room, but I didn't dare to go near it."
Kamiyagawa, who is already quite knowledgeable, can understand the meaning.
It’s not very complicated to say——
The real world is different from the other world. To put it crudely, one is the underworld and the other is the underworld.
The underworld is the world of ghost stories, while the underworld is the world of living people.
Some ghost tales, especially the weakest ghost ghost tales and weak ghost ghost tales that enter reality by chance, will make you feel uncomfortable and unaccustomed to reality.
But they are not foreign visitors and cannot freely return to the other world.
Whether it is a wandering spirit or a descended spirit, if you are trapped in the real world, it is often possible to return to the other world only with the help of a special type of ghost story, that is, the Hearse Group type.
Of course, this possibility is extremely slim.
Therefore, these weak monsters wandering in the real world will follow their instincts and look for a place in the upper world that is more comfortable for them to live in the underworld.
A house in Arakawa is such a place.
The evil atmosphere in the utility room will attract some weak ghosts, approaching like moths to a flame.
This is how Kuuchang and Hihebo were attracted.
"Have the things in the utility room never come out? I understand." Kamiyakawa nodded, stood up with a sword and pushed the door out. At the same time, he turned around and told the two little monsters, "You two are in the living room.
Stay there, don't run around, I'm going to take care of things in the utility room."
Deal with it...
This is an understatement.
Hiyoribo and Kuchou first watched Kamiyagawa open the door and leave with a few vicious ghost stories, and then stayed in the room, not daring to move, looking at each other in silence.
They looked cautious and cautious, just like two interns who had just entered the workplace.
…
"Kuchang, the little monsters descended by spirits at the level of Hiyoribo are not enough to scare away the previous owners. The main culprit that turned this place into a haunted house is probably the ghost stories in the utility room. It's time to go and see
Let’s see what the other person is like.”
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! In the corridor.
Kamiyagawa carried Ichimonji in front.
When I walked to the door of the utility room, the dream-eating tapir behind me suddenly shook its long nose and cried out "Puff, puff".
"What's wrong?"
Kamiyagawa did not rush into the utility room, but squatted down in front of the dream-eating tapir.
"Puff, puff."
The dream-eating tapir swung its nose again, raised its forelimbs, and put its little paws on Kamigawa's knees.
A blur of red light flashed.
Under the influence of the tapir, Kamiyagawa fell into a lucid dream that lasted no longer than a few tenths of a second, and in the dream, he obtained all the information that the tapir wanted to convey——
The tapir said that it smelled fear and nightmares in this house.
The successive owners who moved here must have been plagued by fears and nightmares for a long time.
This is probably one of the reasons why they gave up this house and moved elsewhere.
"Do the strange stories here have abilities related to dreams? The kind of ape dreams?"
"Puff, puff." The tapir nodded and shook his head.
What it conveys is that the ability to detect the most powerful strange things in this room does have a little bit of dream-like ability, but only a little bit.
It's not the same as Yuanmeng.
"Okay, I'll need you to show off later."
Kamiyagawa patted the tapir's head, which had auspicious clouds and red lines.
Push open the utility room door.
Turn on the light.
Bright and steady light quickly projected down, filling the entire room at once.
"Mary, Hannya, you two stay close to me. Inujiro guards the door, and Dream Eater Tapir pays attention to counteracting any hostile dream abilities that may appear."
Kamiyagawa gave the instructions to the shikigami like this, then looked at the standing cabinet on the wall of the room, and stepped forward to push it.
It is certain that this huge and heavy cabinet is indeed fixed to the ground.
Squeak——
Mary reached out and opened the double-open cabinet door at the bottom of the cabinet.
It was empty inside.
"When I opened the cabinet door, I felt that the evil and resentful atmosphere in the utility room didn't seem to have gotten much stronger."
Dong Dong.
Kamiyagawa gently tapped the bottom of the cabinet with Ichimonji's scabbard.
The bottom of the entire large standing cabinet should be made of a very thick piece of solid wood.
He thought briefly for a moment, then stabbed the bottom of the cabinet diagonally with the Ichimonji blade.
The long and gorgeous Nanquan is as sharp as clay, so it is easy to pierce a thick wooden board.
Kamiya held the handle of the knife and used a little force to open up a large hole in the bottom of the solid wood cabinet.
He glanced inside:
"Is there a mezzanine at the bottom of this cabinet? Well...since I'm going to buy this one-family house, this standing cabinet should also be considered my belongings, right?"
"Mary."
Kamiyagawa was not polite and waved to Mary beside him.
boom!
The bloody and thick machete hit the bottom of the cabinet.
The huge standing cabinet collapsed, but Mary stretched out her hand to hold it up. She dragged the cabinet casually and leaned it against the corner on the other side of the room.
The heavy fixed standing cabinet was cut down. After a simple cleaning, you can see the situation under the cabinet.
There was also a solid wood base plate under the previous bottom mezzanine.
However, this base plate is fixed to the floor by four long rivets that are somewhat decayed.
"Sigh. It seems that the utility room will be renovated in the future."
After spending some time, Kamiya asked Mary to use her arm strength of no less than 15 tons and a machete to remove the bottom plate and rivets embedded in the ground.
Now it was finally clear what was under the original standing cabinet——
That's a door.
Flip-top, square metal tunnel door leading to the underground.
"This house also comes with a basement, which is another huge profit."
As Kamiyakawa said this, his black pupils quickly shrank, becoming deeper and deeper, as if he could see through everything.
He reached out and pulled the passage door on the ground.
In an instant, the lights in the utility room flickered on, then went out again, repeatedly, flashing violently.
This is true not just in the utility room, but in the entire house, whether they are on or off.
In the intense change of light and darkness, Kamiyagawa also heard a harsh friction sound like fingernails pulling on the bottom plate, and a dry and hoarse roar.
He heard clearly that the sound came from under his body.
That is under the floor.
"Stab-"
"Kick-kick-kick-"
The weird noise continued, getting louder and louder, resounding from one side of the utility room to the other corner.
It was like something was hanging upside down underground, crawling past quickly in a dark and twisted way.
