002. Only weirdness can fight weirdness
Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo.
Under the crimson moon.
The red brilliance sprinkled on the earth, bringing out a bit of weird aura, Xu Lun carried his small suitcase and returned to the store.
It is a public canteen located in a scattered alley, without a name, Xu Lun calls it a "late-night canteen".
Of course, there is no chicken soup here, and there is no Kaoru Kobayashi, just an ordinary cafeteria with few customers.
The cafeteria is open from the afternoon until the evening, and the rest time is determined by the owner's interest.
This is Xu Lun's shop.
He is twenty-two years old and a traverser.
In the last life, Xu Lun lost his mother early and grew up with his father, but when he graduated from college, his father also died in an accident, and Xu Lun became an orphan.
Later, Xu Lun spent a few years of ordinary life, and was finally hit by a car to his death in order to save a child.
After that, he came into this world.
This body, also called Xu Lun, is a child in an orphanage invested by China in Tokyo.
Although I don't know why the orphanage is called "The Starting Point", considering that the director may hope that the children who come out of here can have a new starting point, Xu Lun didn't bother about this matter anymore.
After crossing into this world, Xu Lun discovered two things.
The first thing is that this world is not the same as the previous world, similar to a parallel world, whether it is the world pattern or cultural trends, there are some subtle differences, it is a world of standard copying.
The second thing is that I don't have a golden finger that I haven't forgotten.
Harm, so angry.
There's no way to live a happy life that sets off a cool frenzy in Tokyo, you can pretend to be forced to slap your face to make money while lying down, and there are countless anime beautiful girls posted upside down.
But soon, Xu Lun discovered that there were strange existences in this world for some reasons.
Weird, such as spirits, ghosts, and demons, are beings that transcend scientific common sense.
These strangeness are not unique to modern times, but can be seen everywhere since ancient times, along with the history of the development of human civilization.
The Yokai legions of the Crusades slaughtered civilians.
The fall of a local god due to the expansion of the colony.
World wars, even weird and dead.
Even now, in peacetime, there are many people who die every year because of strange events, and newspapers, news, and the Internet are full of related discussions.
In Wakoku, shrine maidens, priests, monks, onmyoji, miscellaneous families, and all kinds of powerful people run to fight the weird.
Xu Lun is one of them.
Yes, Xu Lun has the power to destroy the weird.
It's not spiritual power, it's not spiritual power, it's not mental power, it's baya power.
In fact, only weirdness can fight weirdness!
Resentful spirits seem to be unremarkable, but they can cause mental disorders and physical discomfort in human beings, and at most scare people out of heart disease, but neither swords nor bullets can hurt these strange things.
As for the monks chanting, the shrine maidens dancing, and the priests praying?
No, no, no, do anyone really think that just reciting a few words of unknown meaning can eliminate weirdness?
In the distant past, the strange was rampant, humanity was extinguished, and civilization was at stake.
When people are almost slaughtered by the monsters and their survival is in danger, they realize something.
That is, there are limits to human beings.
The more you fight against weirdness, the more you will realize that there are limits to human beings.
Unless...... Beyond humans.
So, those humans, the earliest soul slayers, they chose not to be human.
They wrestle between hostile weirdos, sign contracts with some of them, and become weird messengers, that is, people who drive weirdness.
At the cost of his own life and soul, he is at the forefront of the fight against weirdness.
Most of the weird people have low intelligence, and they just rely on instinct to act.
When humanity has been given the means to confront the strange on an equal footing, a new era has arrived.
Humanity's footprints are all over the mountains and the sea, leaving everything the weird once had drifting away like smoke.
The existence of the most powerful monsters, known as the evil gods, the old rulers, and the old gods, is also sealed out of reality one by one, and it is difficult to harm the world.
The time has come for humanity to truly belong.
To this day, the people who can become the Soul Removal Master, without exception, are all weird envoys.
In the big shrine, the big temple, the yin and yang liao, and even many monsters are raised, which are specially used to contract with newcomers.
Xu Lun is also a weird envoy.
It's just that the source of his power is not those domestic monsters, nor the blonde young toothed beautiful girl vampire that he encounters in the wild.
But......
"Is it time?"
The late-night cafeteria is closed today, not only because Xu Lun went out to deliver takeaways, but because today is the Scarlet Moon.
Whenever the moon is full, the moon of this world will change from a bright silver white to a bloody crimson, under the crimson moon, the spirit grows, the strange power becomes stronger, the boundaries of reality become blurred, and it is said that there will be some evil gods who take this opportunity to infiltrate power from the seal and bewitch people's hearts.
Xu Lun looked at the time, it was exactly twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.
Dangdangdang –
The wall clock made a heavy sound, and Xu Lun sat by the window, the moonlight spilling, making him feel like blood.
Very punctually, in Xu Lun's ears and in his head, there were small whispers.
“...... I feel like you're getting a lot stronger again, and it looks like I'll be able to come out soon......"
“...... Every time this happens, I miss the old days, hehe......"
“...... I've remembered some secrets, maybe you'll be able to use them......"
“...... What are you still collecting? I don't think there's really any need to bother......"
The whisper stirred in Xu Lun's eardrums, like the devil's persuasion.
If you were someone else and listen carefully to what you would do, you would probably either have a burst of blood vessels, a nervous breakdown, and suicide, or you would have been bewitched and reduced to a lackey of the evil gods, an enemy of mankind, and a cultist that everyone shouted at.
According to statistics, the vast majority of cultists claim to have heard the oracles of the gods, but in the end, after investigation, ninety percent of them are nonsense that cheats money and sex, and the remaining one-tenth is indeed an oracle, but it is all the whispers of evil gods.
Of course, there are many powerful beings in this world, and there are also some wild weirdness that rely on similar ways to sign contracts with humans, whether it is an evil god or a mountain god, it requires a certain judgment.
As for Xu Lun, he felt that this whisper definitely didn't come from some serious god.
Xu Lun heard this whisper for the first time in the crimson moon after crossing over, and by now, six months have passed.
It was only at twelve o'clock in the evening of the Scarlet Moon that Xu Lun could hear this whisper for a while.
At first, the duration of this whisper was five minutes, and it was so vague that it was almost impossible to understand what was being said, but after Xu Lun became stronger, the time had reached fifteen minutes, and the language was much clearer.
“...... I think you should go out and walk more, it's not the way to stay here all the time......"
After a long series of chatter, the evil god saw that the time was about to end, and he spoke again, earnestly.
“...... It's spring, but it's cold at night, and you still have to wear autumn pants, remember, son. ”
