But the Zashiki boy who came to give him a mobile phone still stayed in front of him.
The little girl in a red and white kimono was looking up at Kamiya with her head raised, her nose slightly wrinkled, as if asking for credit.
"Yeah~"
The meaning of zashiki is probably very clear.
Abba, please praise me!
I got the phone to you before Little Mother Prajna saw the phone display!
Kamiyagawa glanced at Hannya and Mari who were sitting inside and outside the house. Judging from their calm expressions, he probably had confirmed who made the late night call.
The silly daughter is complacent after doing useless work.
And in Fu Bao's mind, what kind of image does he have as a father?
Do you think I have to carry someone behind my back to answer the phone?
This is prejudice! Probably... it's prejudice.
Although he thought so in his heart, Kamiya still rubbed Zashiki's head in cooperation.
Guitan's eldest daughter, who was a little too clever, jumped back to the living room.
"Zashiki is facing me like this, so he will probably be bullied by the dissatisfied Hannya later. But this is normal for the two of them. It may be because they have been bullied, so Zashiki will be more towards me..."
Kamiya felt a little helpless, and only then answered the phone that had been ringing for a while.
"Hello?" Master Kanazawa's voice rang from the other end of the phone, "Kamiya, I'm sorry, I called you so late to disturb your rest."
"It's okay, I haven't slept yet. What's wrong?"
"That's it, my side...that..." Kanazawa's tone was sarcastic. It sounded like he wanted to ask someone for help, but he couldn't speak easily.
"In trouble?"
Hearing Kamiya's question, Kanazawa Xingluo finally said: "I'm in some trouble, so I want Kamiya's help."
"What kind of thing it is, please tell me first."
Over at Honganji Temple, Kamiya still owes someone a favor.
During the previous winter vacation when Kanoya stayed at home, Master Kanazawa led him to practice Buddhism and mantras.
As a teacher, Kanazawa has always been dedicated to his responsibilities during that time.
Therefore, the young apprentice’s progress is quite rapid.
Kamiya, who is the temporary guardian of his apprentice, sees all these things.
If others have helped you, it is necessary for you to help them back.
What comes and goes, there is still something to be said about human nature.
Moreover, the spells taught by Kanoya at Honganji Temple are all superficial, so the favor he owes is not too big.
Based on previous interactions with him, Monk Kanazawa has a pretty good character, and he probably won't make any excessive demands.
"There have been several disappearances related to Kaidan here in Sumida. In fact, they are not considered disappearances. This will be a bit difficult to explain clearly for a while."
"Then what do you want me to do?"
"Kamiya, you have a Kaidan scout with a very good sense of perception, right? The Kaidan that you need to deal with is not too strong, and does not even seem to be harmful, but it is very weird. And we are currently unable to locate the location of the troublesome Kaidan, so we want to
With the help of your scouts."
The scout with excellent perception ability must be the little old man.
"OK."
Kamiya didn't ask too many questions and answered simply.
"It's great that you are willing to help. After the matter here is over, I will definitely apply to the temple to see if I can find some suitable advanced spells to teach to Kanoya Yukino." Kanazawa was obviously relaxed.
One breath.
Master Kanazawa, as her first practical preaching teacher, was aware of the situation of Xiaolu’s spiritual fetus.
It will definitely be of great benefit to the young apprentice to have the opportunity to advance to learn more in-depth spells in Honganji Temple.
And Kamiya felt that Kanazawa was quite cheerful when giving favors, but there was no need to be so coy when withdrawing favors.
But since people have taken the initiative to bring it up, there is definitely no need to refuse.
He is obviously thicker-skinned than Kanazawa Xingluo.
…
Sumida-ku, Tokyo.
After finishing the phone call with Kanazawa Seira, Kamiyagawa arrived here directly in the ghost Mazda.
Sumida Ward is considered to be the most town-like neighborhood in Tokyo.
The shape of the street is square and very regular, and the overall rhythm is slow and quiet compared to Tokyo as a whole.
You can see izakaya everywhere here.
Izakaya has become an important symbol in Japanese culture. It is a place that interprets the nightlife of ordinary people and can deeply experience the atmosphere of Japanese life. After get off work, meet up with close friends and have a few drinks to eliminate or reduce the fatigue of the day. This has become an essential part of life for the Japanese.
The small tavern is crowded and noisy, but it is always full of stories. Drinking and chatting, the fatigue is obvious, but while drinking and changing glasses, the heart is peaceful and warm. It is the best place for hardworking social animals to relieve the boredom and fatigue of a day at work.
place.
When we arrived at Sumida, it was already approaching midnight, and there were a few izakaya shops still open on the streets, with warm yellow lights.
Kamiya met Seira Kanazawa at the agreed place.
This young mage was not wearing monk robes, but was wearing ordinary casual clothes. He was followed by four people, probably people from the countermeasures room. The group looked a little tired.
In comparison, Kamiya, who has been on vacation recently, looked in high spirits. He was the first to say hello: "Good evening, Master Kanazawa."
"Good evening, Kamiya."
Kanazawa returned the favor with folded hands.
The few unfamiliar countermeasure room operators around him were probably very familiar with Kamiya, and they all said hello.
A few people chatted politely for a while, and Kamiyagawa got straight to the point: "So, what kind of strange disappearance is it? If you can't explain it clearly on the phone, you should be able to explain it now."
"Let's talk over here."
Next to Master Kanazawa and the others, a black business car, or a nanny car, was parked. The space inside was spacious, a little larger than a ghost car that had been upgraded once.
After getting into the car, Kanazawa handed over a case file.
Kamiya casually sat down comfortably on the soft leather seat, took the file and looked through it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Kanazawa Monk: "In recent times, the frequency of ghost stories in various places seems to have become higher. The Honganji Temple is also very busy, and there are not enough manpower. It is really
sorry to bother you."
"It's okay, don't worry about it. You guys take care of that kid, I owe you." Kamiya responded casually.
"Child..."
Monk Kanazawa said this in a low voice.
He felt that Kamiya didn't look much older than Kanoya, but he always looked like a natural parent...
In addition, what Monk Kanazawa just said is also true.
It seems that judging from the situation in the Countermeasures Room, the number of ghost story activities throughout Japan has indeed increased again, especially after the Yumeo incident that affected the entire Kanto region ended.
As far as is known, Uncle Yuki didn't even take a vacation. After handling the foreign visit to one place, he took Nagatomo to Nagasaki to assist the local spirit exterminator.
Onizuka's side seems to have received a mission recently and went to Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture.
It feels like everyone is quite busy.
Kamiyagawa was entrusted by the people in the countermeasures room, so it was not surprising that he was mobilized.
rustle.
Flipping through the case files, you can quickly see what strange stories Kanazawa and the others are going to deal with this time. It is also written in the file:
[The strange story that caused the short-term disappearance of people in Sumida Ward is suspected to be Tomo Soba]
There is no buckwheat in the lamp. Kamiya knows this strange story.
A typical urban legend from the Edo period.
It is a ghost story set in "Honjo", which is today's Sumida Ward, and is also called one of the "Seven Mysteries of Honjo".
In the traditional Japanese folk art form "rakugo" (similar to stand-up comedy), performers often quote passages from "Honjo's Seven Mysteries" to arouse the curiosity of the people.
In addition, the so-called seven mysteries actually include more than seven kinds of weird stories. Generally speaking, there should be nine kinds.
There are actually nine of the seven mysteries, which makes sense.
The "Ashiarai Residence" that Kamiyagawa once encountered in the Living Fish Hotel also belongs to this ghost story series.
As for the story of Dengwu Buckwheat, it is simple to tell——
This kind of strange talk mainly occurs in the cold late nights in winter.
At this time, it was late at night at the Edo Honjo, and all one could hear was the sound of Buddhist practitioners reciting the Buddha's name in the distance. Other than that, there were only bare branches whistling in the wind. No one would be willing to step out of the house unless they were drunk and crazy.
And on such a bitterly cold night, some people still have to go out to catch up with errands.
Walking on the road, I suddenly saw a large lantern in front of me, with the words "28, hand-cut noodles, udon noodles" written on it.
This was a lantern sign commonly used in soba shops at that time.
You can still hear shouts in the distance: "Come here, take a look, the hot soba noodles..."
If an unsuspecting passerby eats food from a soba shop, he or she will find that the original stall or shop has disappeared, and misfortunes may occur when they return home.
The "Tono Soba" that is now suspected to have appeared in Sumida Ward is different from the traditional story based on the existing data.
People you meet will disappear for a while.
It can take as short as a week, or as long as one or two months, and then the person concerned will reappear on the streets of Sumida late at night.
Judging from the files, people who encountered the new type of lamp without buckwheat would not suffer any physical damage, but their mental state seemed to undergo some changes.
In the information, the word "domestication" is used to describe the status of several parties involved.
They were "domesticated" by Dengwu buckwheat.
Although I don’t know how this strange story achieves this, people who have returned from the disappearance of Denmu Soba have developed a certain resistance to society.
The three parties currently recorded were all found after Kanazawa and others intervened in the incident. They were very depressed and unwilling to communicate with the people in the countermeasures room. And all of them showed a strong desire to return to the
The idea of light-free buckwheat shop.
Because I have just started to deal with this strange story, there is actually not a lot of information, and the recorded content is also small.
Most of it is the personal information of the parties concerned.
In addition, Kamiya also discovered that the three parties involved are all relatively high-status people in society.
Their professions are doctors, presidents of small clubs, and even a congressman.
"Why is this happening?" Kamiyakawa put down the thin file in his hand.
"I don't know." Monk Kanazawa shook his head with a bitter expression. "The three parties have just been found and are completely unwilling to communicate. We may have to wait for the countermeasures room to take some special auxiliary measures to know the period of time when they disappeared.
What happened there."
"Then why are you so anxiously looking for Denmo Soba now because someone is missing?"
"The reason the countermeasures room realized that there were new strange stories in Sumida was because of the disappearance of Mr. Tsukada Satake. Oh, Mr. Tsukada is the head of Tokuma Studio. He runs a small animation studio with about 90 people.
.In recent years, there have been one or two moderately famous comics and animated films.”
"Ah, animation studio."
Kamiyagawa suddenly became interested.
Because of the need to spread Shikigami beliefs, he has been thinking about whether there is a chance to get involved in the cultural industry.
Now...maybe this is your chance!
"The current situation is that Mr. Tsukada probably encountered Tomo Soba at a certain period of time, which led to his disappearance, and he has not reappeared yet. From the mouth of one of the three people we found, we heard that Tsukada
Mr. Tian’s name.”
"In addition, there have been several disappearances around Sumida District recently. Although the Metropolitan Police Department has filed a case, it currently has no clue. According to the judgment of the Countermeasures Room, several of them may also be related to Tomo Soba."
"Tonight in Sumida District, we used the psychic detector to find slight Kaidan energy fluctuations. It may be that Tomo Soba appeared again, but we couldn't find the specific location of the Kaidan. So I thought, Kamiya, your subordinate
That weirdo scout with strong senses might have a solution."
Kanazawa continued to introduce the situation.
Kamiya did notice that there were several metal detector-like instruments in the commercial vehicle.
He had seen Kanazawa use this thing before when he was conquering the Fairy Lady.
But now the detector light is off and the alarm is not sounding.
"I understand." Kamiyakawa nodded.
Then he looked at the armrest of his seat and asked, "Have you sensed the aura of ghost stories?"
In the business car, from the perspective of the official exorcists including Kanazawa Seira, the place where Kamiyagawa was asking questions was empty, and there was not even a breath of note.
In fact, the little old man had been sitting there cross-legged, listening to the communication between his master and the monk Kanazawa.
A long time ago, when the little old man was not promoted, Kanazawa could barely see his vague figure.
Now times have changed, but Monk Kanazawa's perception is still very different from a year ago.
But the little old man has been promoted and mastered a new skill [Void], which is completely different.
Even though he was sitting right in front of him, Kanazawa was completely unaware of his presence.
"Abba!"
The little old man patted his chest, jumped off the armrest of the seat, and quickly climbed to the passenger seat of the commercial vehicle.
When it comes to perception ability, the little old man is very professional. Even Kamiya, who has mastered the extraordinary [Autumn Hair Slash] skill and has a perception far beyond that of most spirit exterminators, is not at all inferior to him.
And judging from how confident he is, he might really feel something different exists in Sumida Ward.
"gone."
Kamiya first signaled the members of the hearse group who had been waiting on the roadside to go home on their own, and then followed the navigation instructions of his own scouts and began to greet the exorcists to set off.
