The sunlight in the cherry blossom forest is a bit dazzling, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
What just happened in the world of Kaidan is indeed like a dream.
Hanako's treatment was successful in this way.
Somewhat unrealistic.
He took out his phone and saw the death prompt——
【Soft Rice Man】
Kamiyagawa:……
Damn it! What happened to the soft rice? You can eat one if you have the ability?
"? Dahuang, いつか大夫になる, なんて思う日々を Severalつ重ねた, Today's だってloneりThe scenery of Tokyo にthrough けるPUは, 夜霊みたいだ?"
The cell phone rings.
Mary called.
Kamiyagawa chose to answer this time.
"Hello?"
There was a blind tone on the other end of the phone at first, and after a while, Mary's voice came over: "Hello. I'm Miss Mary."
"Um."
The tone of the evil spirit on the phone was slightly weak: "Mary is very tired and her body hurts... I need to have a good sleep. When I wake up, I will come to play with you."
Dudu.
The phone hangs up.
"Need to take a nap?" Kamiyakawa subconsciously repeated Mary's words.
What does it mean?
Kamiya recalled the state of Mary after treating Hanako in the Kaitan World just now.
The whole body was covered in cracks, like a porcelain doll that had been smashed into pieces and then glued together again.
"Is Mary hurt?"
What is certain is that Mary's injuries were definitely not caused by Hanako.
When the evil spirit on the phone hits the ghost doll in the toilet, it is like a mother hitting her daughter, until the latter has no strength to fight back.
If Miss Mary doesn't know the seven-wound knife technique of "injuring one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred", then there is only one reasonable guess -
Maybe the evil phone spirit had been injured before the fight with Hanako?
And in the fight that broke out in the corridor, Mary fought too seriously and tried her best, causing the incompletely healed wounds to be torn and the old injuries to relapse?
Kamiyagawa felt that his conjecture should be reasonable.
But the question is, who injured Mary?
The evil phone spirit is definitely the craziest and most powerful ghost story that Kamiyagawa has encountered so far.
What kind of terrifying existence must it be to beat her like that?
Kamiyagawa just found it unimaginable.
In addition, considering that Mary has already completed her foreign visit and can travel freely between the real world and the ghost story world, there is a certain chance that the person who severely injured her exists in reality.
"I feel that this world is much more dangerous than I imagined. Whether it is the reality of the outside world or the ghost world of the inner world."
Kamiya thought like this and opened the "Illustrated Book of Foreign Visits" on his mobile phone.
The status of the only two monsters inside has changed.
Hanako's status is displayed as gray [Retired].
As for Mary, she is [sleeping].
Kamiyagawa looked at Mary's state and was stunned for a few seconds. At this time——
Buzzing.
The phone vibrated and a new notification popped up.
[Your character gains a new status.]
Under the personal information, the original entry [Mary, jealous] disappeared and was replaced by a new one.
【Mary's Love】.
[Mary is an abandoned old doll that was thrown into the garbage to rot and stink.]
[The days of playing with others and being full of joy are gone forever. No one will like Mary anymore, everyone is afraid of Mary, and no one will ever take the initiative to invite Mary.]
[But you are different, no matter where you are. Mary is curious about you, wants to play with you, and will be jealous of you——]
[Mary, I love you.]
[So, continue to play with Mary? If you abandon Mary, I will kill you?]
Looking at the newly refreshed entries, Kamiyakawa was silent for a while.
"Mary, this is a deformed love... By the way, if you fall in love with a ghost story, it should be quite dangerous, right?"
…
[Regional mission: Defeat the D-level ghost doll Hanako, completed!]
[Task rewards are distributed, learn the art of controlling spirits!]
[Regional mission: 80% exploration of Hualing School, completed! (82/100)]
[Task rewards are distributed, and you can get a tin statue of the shikigami!]
After successfully defeating Hanako, Kamiyagawa's exploration of the Kaidan School went very smoothly.
After touching every corner of the teaching building, the area exploration value reached 82%.
The remaining 18% are estimated to target the bottom of artificial lakes.
It's not possible to go down to the Kamiya River yet, but that doesn't matter, as long as the mission is completed.
Let’s explore the area at the bottom of the lake later.
[Spirit Control Technique (entry-level): restraining ghosts and controlling spirits, exorcising monsters and dispatching monsters. Onmyoji masters use the secret method of cultivating shikigami. Once you master this method, you can raise monsters and fight for yourself.]
[Shikigami tin statue (excellent level material): Used in conjunction with the spirit control technique, the Kaidan inhabiting this metal statue will become a shikigami for you to control. The tin statue can restrain Kaidan of the highest D level.]
As introduced in the description, restraining ghosts and controlling spirits is the secret technique of Japanese Onmyoji.
According to legend, the great onmyoji Abe Seimei kept 12 powerful shikigami companions.
After mastering this spell, Kamiyagawa can also start to cultivate his own shikigami.
"The Souls-based game is paired with the Pokémon system, right? The tin statue of the Shikigami is just a Pokémon ball."
Kamiyagawa reviewed what he had gained and roughly understood this new shikigami system.
"The Tin Man Statue can only restrain a D-level Kaidan at best, which is Hanako's level. It's so strong..."
"I feel that as the game progresses in the future, there should be opportunities to purchase other types of shikigami statues and control higher-level kaidan."
understood.
After learning the art of controlling spirits, my goal is to become a master of ghost stories!
Currently, Kamiyagawa only has one tin statue, which means there is only one shikigami slot.
You have to think carefully about which Kaidan you want to cultivate as your first Shikigami.
If conditions permit, Kamiyagawa hopes that Miss Mary can become his first shikigami.
Unfortunately, Mary is a C-class monster, which exceeds the upper limit of the tin figure.
"But Mary hasn't appeared for a long time."
Since Hanako was exterminated, the evil phone spirit has never bothered Kamiyagawa again.
Looking through the "Ghost Story Illustration", Mary's status has always been displayed as "Sleeping".
I don't know when she will wake up.
Speaking of which, Kamiyagawa's current view of Mary is somewhat complicated.
When he was first haunted by the evil spirit on the phone, he only felt that his personal safety was threatened, and all he could think about was finding an opportunity to get rid of this sickly monster.
But what now?
Does Kamiyagawa still want to defeat Marie?
have no idea.
Maybe he didn't want to.
His attitude towards the phone evil spirit changed not only because Mary acted as a tool and cured Hanako for him.
Also because of the entry [Mary’s Love] and that sentence——
"Hello, I am Miss Mary. I am in front of you."
Among all the urban ghost stories related to Mary, this evil phone ghost that haunts the midnight always only appears behind the victim and kills the target with one blow.
"But in the corridor of the teaching building, Mary appeared directly in front of me and blocked Hanako's family."
At that time, I should have been protected by Kaitan, right?
