The younger sister of the Shinagawa family, Rieko, was so frightened that she lost her mind.
She heard the screams from the crowd around her, and they panicked one after another.
Obviously these shouts were loud, but the sound did not form an echo in the Xiangshan Mountain.
"ah--!"
At the same time, Rieko also screamed uncontrollably.
She saw with her own eyes that several strange, deformed, incredibly long white arms stretched out from under the cliff and grabbed the railing.
Just like what my sister said.
Something is really crawling up!
But her sister Misako was still at the railing at this moment, with half of her body leaning out, looking down.
The team that came to participate in the ceremony fell into complete chaos.
Fear was like a bomb exploding in the crowd, covering everyone. Adults and children alike turned and fled.
When Rieko came to her senses again, she and her sister were the only ones left on the rocks halfway up Xiangshan Mountain.
Rieko also wanted to escape.
But she was so scared that her feet were trembling, and her sister was still on the railing. The little girl felt that she could not leave her sister and run away no matter what.
"elder sister!"
Rieko struggled to make a sound, her tone was trembling and distorted.
The thick darkness of night seemed like a black hole that could swallow up sounds. Her shouts probably did not reach her sister, let alone evoke any echo.
"elder sister!"
Rieko closed her eyes, took a deep breath and shouted again.
This time the sound should be transmitted.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw that her sister had rushed to her side from the rock railing.
"Something's not right, let's run too!"
Misako took her sister's hand and dragged her towards the dark mountain road.
Is it really too late to run again now?
Rieko thought this in her mind, but being held tightly by her sister, she finally gained some courage and stumbled into running.
The moment she fled, she looked back again.
At the railing protruding from the rock, I saw the figure standing stiffly again.
I saw that person again!
So, I didn’t see it wrong just now.
In this clearing halfway up the mountain, two overturned lanterns were scattered.
It was probably left behind by the adults who just fled for their lives in a panic.
The candle rolled down to the ground, its bright red flame swaying dimly. The weak firelight was like a tired soul, trembling in the dead darkness.
But just through this dim firelight, Rieko could see a little bit of that person's outline.
He is indeed wearing a strange mask.
The mask is colorful and looks hideous in the low light. Three colors of red, blue, and brown can be seen twisted and intertwined together.
In front of the masked man, the strange arms extending from the bottom of the cliff are getting longer and longer, and the whispering sounds from under the rock are getting louder, like the bubbles of boiling water surging,
Confusing the dark forest...
The last strange scene Rieko saw was fixed in this scene.
Her sister dragged her away from there.
Because there was no lantern to guide the way, it was too dark in Xiangshan Mountain, and the two sisters were in a panic and didn't know which direction they were running to.
Eventually, they got lost in the mountains and were not found again until early this morning.
…
"So, Misako, you saw what climbed up from the bottom of the cliff, right?"
After listening to the story of the Shinagawa sisters, Onizuka gently put down the pen in his hand.
Regarding what climbed up from the cliff, the younger sister of the Shinagawa family only saw white arms climbing up, but her elder sister Misako lay on the railing for a while and looked at it, and she probably saw the whole thing.
"Very strange things. There is a group of people who look like people, some are male and some are female, some have long hair and some have short hair, some are wearing kimonos, some are not. But all of them have mouths on their faces and no eyes or noses.
, just open your mouth, open and close, and repeat what I say."
Misako spoke in a very calm tone and said something that made people's hair stand on end.
The little miko Onizuka thought for a while and probably guessed what the monster that appeared at the Echo Festival was——
The sound of the valley, or the mountains.
In ancient Japan, people regarded the echo in the valley as "the god's response", which gave rise to the worship of echo.
Mountain spirits and monsters such as Yugu Xiang and Shan Yan emerged from this kind of worship, and are worshiped as gods in some areas.
This coincides with the situation here in Xiangshan.
In addition, Kamiyagawa also killed a Yamabiko before when he conquered the Aokigahara dungeon.
However, the Yamabiko itself evolved from the remnants of the sacred tree Hanakayehime on Mount Fuji, and its divinity is more important.
So it may be different from the one on the Xiangshan side.
The same type of ghost stories have different final images because the stories are spread differently in different places.
Like Kamiya's Kuuchang, Hiyoribo's look is quite special.
So it is quite common for the same monster to have different forms.
Of course, Onizuka himself did not know Kamiyagawa's experience in the other world, so after guessing the identity of the monster that appeared at the Echo Festival, he did not think more about it, but continued to ask the Shinagawa sisters, mainly asking
Among the sisters:
"Why do you do that? To attract the valley noises from under the cliff?"
"Because I felt something was wrong, I wanted to figure it out. And, according to the Echo Sacrifice, isn't the echo a response from the gods? Since there was a voice coming from the cliff, I thought maybe I could see what the gods were like.
.Isn’t it amazing to be able to see God with your own eyes?” Misako smiled coquettishly:
"Actually, Sister Onizuka. I had a feeling on the rocks halfway up Xiangshan Mountain last night, that is... even if I attract the things under the cliff, there will be no danger. But those things, oh,
It's after the sound of the valley you mentioned, sister, that I felt something was wrong again. Gods probably don't look that disgusting..."
"Well, those things are not gods. I can feel a very disgusting feeling from them, a very strong... resentment, maybe."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When I realized something was wrong, I took Rieko and ran away. But nothing happened to us in the end, so the feeling at the beginning should be considered right?"
Misako is probably not just a simple radio-type girl.
After listening to her words, Onizuka almost understood.
It seems that this thirteen- or fourteen-year-old junior high school girl is a type with strong intuition, that is, she has a keen sixth sense that ordinary people do not have, a supernatural talent similar to "The Shining".
"Even if you have some talents, I still don't recommend that you do this again. When you feel something is wrong, just avoid it. If you are too curious, you may get yourself and the people around you killed?"
Onizuka said this to Misako.
Japan has stories about irrational evil spirits, but there is no talk of karma. Anyone caught is killed without any reason.
If you rely on your high level of inspiration to do whatever you want, you might lose it one day.
"Anyway, Sister Onizuka, you are beautiful and everything you say is right. In fact, I know it. After this experience, I will not mess around again."
Misako, who had her own way of doing things, did not refute the little miko.
Later, Onizuka turned his attention to the younger sister of the Shinagawa family, Rieko.
During the narration process of the two sisters just now, the elder sister was mainly talking, and the younger sister just added what happened when she saw the masked man twice.
The mask that Shinagawa's sister mentioned made Onizuka very concerned.
The strange man who suddenly appeared at the festival had a mask with red, blue, and brown patterns on his face.
What Rieko said just now is correct.
This made the little witch have a certain association.
"Sister Rieko, does the mask you see look like this?"
Onizuka found a picture from his phone and showed it to the Shinagawa sisters.
Sister Rieko tried hard to identify it for a while, and finally nodded with certainty: "It seems... it's almost the same. No, it should be this one."
Complaints face each other.
This is something Kamiyagawa has been investigating recently at the Joint Countermeasures Office.
The little witch often comes in and out of the countermeasures room, so she naturally understands this.
"It seems that Achuan must also come to Kyoto."
Onizuka called Kamiyakawa and the Countermeasures Room one after another and gave a general explanation of what was going on in Hibikiyama.
After Kamiya got the news, he immediately said that he would come to Kyoto soon.
Then, the little miko told Ms. Sugita, who was in charge here, not to let the Shinagawa mother and daughter leave for the time being.
Let them stay at the police station first.
The Shinagawa sisters encountered a group of Yutani Hibiki and Hikari Masks at the same time.
Although they are out of danger now, they don't know if something will come after them, so it's better to protect them by their side first.
…
After receiving the news from Onizuka, Kamiyagawa put down what he was doing and immediately rushed to Osaka and Kyoto in the ghost car at full speed.
"A man wearing a mask with a vengeful spirit appeared at a festival haunted by strange stories... Maybe that masked person is the mastermind behind the appearance of the vengeful spirit and causing chaos."
Any evil will be brought to justice!
Kamiya is very interested in the evil spirits, so he must mercilessly punish the perpetrators!
Boom boom——
The engine roars.
Following the boss's instructions, Oishi Junma drove very fast today.
The ghost car modified in heavy industrial style shuttles freely on the road, and from time to time it crashes into high-rise buildings in a ghostly manner, or directly shuttles towards other oncoming vehicles.
Ghosts and real objects overlap and pass by.
For ordinary people who can't see the ghost car, they just feel a cool draft passing over their heads.
After reacting, the ghost car rushed a kilometer away like a wild horse.
Halfway through such an exciting ride, my cell phone suddenly rang.
The ringtone is noisy and the screen flashes randomly.
Until Mary appeared quietly and sat down next to Kamiya.
The cell phone signal suddenly became stable.
The call was connected, and Uncle Cheng's voice came from the other end: "Boy, your calls... have become strange again, and the number is not displayed. Do you know about ghost calls?"
"That's right, it's a supernatural call. I'm in the ghost car. What's wrong?"
"Oh, I guess you already know about Ju Qiong Shenzi's affairs, so I won't repeat it. Then, based on Onizuka Shenzi's reaction, the people below checked and proofread Obata Himetsuki's itinerary. About one
A few months ago, she went to Kyoto with her husband to perform. Because she often performed with her husband all over the country, this was not taken into consideration at first. But now it seems that she was probably entangled by a grudge in Kyoto.
."
The new information given by Uncle Jiecheng proves that the actual area of activity of the Wraith Spirit Fang Xiang is actually in Kyoto.
"So, it really doesn't matter to Peace Shokamonzuka?"
"Not necessarily. But it should really have nothing to do with Kanda Shrine here in Tokyo. And according to Kanda Shrine, the aspect that contains resentment should be influenced by Taira Shomon... You know, right?
Taira Shomon's head tomb is in Tokyo, because Kanto during the Heian period was his base for raising troops. But after Taira Shomon's death, the severed head was sent to the then imperial capital, which is now Kyoto. Therefore, the resentment party
The Prime Minister appears over there, it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with the Peace General."
According to legend, after Taira Shomon died, his head was sent to Kyoto and hung on a big tree in front of the East Cave Temple for public display.
One day in broad daylight, in front of many onlookers, Taira Shomon's head suddenly floated up. With his eyes wide open, he cursed Taira Sadamori and Fujiwara Hidego who had killed him.
He said he wanted to fight again after getting his body back.
After saying that, he cursed and flew straight to the east, until he flew to Shibazaki Village, Toshima County, Musashi Province, which is Otemachi, Chiyoda District, Tokyo, where Shouzuka is now located. He probably exhausted his spiritual power before falling to the ground.
There was a deafening sound when his head hit the ground.
The local villagers were frightened and quickly picked up the head, cleaned it, and then buried it respectfully.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Later, Onmyoji worshiped the head mound, and the current Kanda Shrine was built for this purpose.
"Understood."
Therefore, behind the resentful spirit Fang Xiang, there may still be the shadow of Ping Jiangmen.
Kamiyagawa talked to Yui Cheng for a few more words, and the uncle said that he had also organized people to rush towards Kyoto.
It concerns one of Japan's four major grudges. Although elites like Onizuka and Kamiya have passed the ceiling of their combat power, it would be good to send a few more people to fight against them and assist in the investigation.
Until now, Kamiyagawa has not been held back by the Countermeasures Room.
This is also the reason why he is willing to get close to the organization.
Moreover, the manpower is dispatched by uncle Jiejie, so it is even more trustworthy.
Because the battles Kamiya participated in were basically tough battles, Ji Chengzhen Jianyou would never send crooked melons to his side.
At this point, the uncle is still very trustworthy.
…
Oishi Junma drove the ghost car at a fast speed.
Arriving in Kyoto is effortless.
As he approached Xiangshan Mountain, Kamiya's cell phone rang again.
This time there was no need for Mary to stabilize the phone signal, because a text notification popped up from "Ghost Story"——
[Special event mission, [When Encountering Demons·Six] has been opened!]
[The core requirements of this mission are as follows: Defeat Chenshi, a member of the "Encountering Demon Time Organization".]
"Is there still a time to meet the devil?"
Kamiyakawa read the text prompt clearly and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Is it a coincidence?
Or is the aspect of the Wraith Spirit itself related to this new encounter with demons?
Kamiya prefers to believe the latter.
"It seems that there are quite a lot of things involved in the resentment this time."
The appearance of the resentful spirit was enough to arouse Kamiya's interest.
In addition, there is a task of encountering the devil. If it is solved, won't the rewards come in pairs?
Thinking of this, Kamiyagawa was actually looking forward to this trip to Kyoto Hibikiyama.
