Wakuni, Tokyo, Nakano Ward.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, in a small amusement park that was about to be abandoned.

Gray clouds obscured the stars, the crimson moon shone on the land, the old facilities in the amusement park dragged blurred shadows, and the surrounding was silent, even the insects were silent.

The amusement park was built in the Heisei era and used to be the best place for nearby residents to relax and have a family fun on Sundays, but a year ago, perhaps because of the aging equipment, the facilities of the amusement park failed, and although there were no casualties, the entire amusement park was still under scrutiny, and as a result of the review, it was demolished.

In the spring of this year, the demolition order was issued, and this amusement park, which has brought everyone laughter for decades, will finally be demolished in the first year of Reiwa.

However, something strange happened.

When the construction team entered the amusement park, there were always equipment failures and personnel errors, and even the workers who kept vigil here would have nightmares when they slept at night.

In their dreams, a distorted and ugly monster will continue to devour their bodies, and the hallucinatory pain will persist even until they wake up.

Within a week, strange events were frequent, and construction could only be stalled.

Hidesuke Owada was the leader of the construction team, and he was quite distressed.

If the construction cannot be completed on time, he will have to pay compensation, which is not a small amount.

Of course, he could force the workers to continue, but if something happened to the safety, he couldn't stand it either.

As a result, Owada Shusuke could only go and ask for some "help".

“...... That's the way it is, Master, can you save us? ”

He looked at the man beside him.

The man looked quite young and handsome, tall and dressed in a pitch-black, priest-like robe, and if he hadn't known in advance, Owada Shusuke would definitely think that this was a star who was preparing to appear in a TV series.

The man was only holding a small black suitcase, not as well-prepared as the masters Owada Shusuke had seen.

Is it reliable?

Owada Shusuke couldn't help but think.

He had seen similar masters on the news and on television, either armed with golden cymbals and suppressing the Quartet, or spells flying all over the sky, overflowing with streamers, and even using spirit bullets and grenades to do things.

This master doesn't seem to be prepared, I don't know what the routine is?

Faced with Owada Shusuke's inquiry, the man, Xu Lun stopped.

"Owada-san, there is a famous poet in China who once said that people can only save themselves."

He smiled, unfazed by the strange surroundings around him.

"That being said, lost lambs often don't know how to help themselves, and I don't mind helping them find the right path."

As they spoke, a shadow appeared in front of the two of them, in front of the merry-go-round, which had had been in an accident.

The shadow was darker than the night, condensing an eerie and terrifying image.

It was a woman in a white dress, with black hair like ink and skin as white as snow, however, there were no facial features on her face, only bloody wounds!

"This ...... This is?!! ”

Although Owada Shusuke had heard of the existence of resentful spirits, it was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

Is this a wraith?

When you are working on your own, you have such a thing next to you?

The people who kept vigil at night did not have nightmares, but really encountered such monsters?

Owada Shusuke felt dizzy for a while, as if his reason was burning, and the next moment he was about to faint and lose consciousness.

"Owada-san, the next scene may be a little unsuitable for viewing, I suggest you close your eyes."

Xu Lun said kindly, his voice seemed to have a kind of magic that made people feel calm.

Owada Shusuke closed his eyes and covered them with his hands, for fear of an accident.

That's it.

Seeing this, Xu Lun's gaze turned to the faceless female resentful spirit.

"Is it a resentful spirit that is entrenched here because it has suffered and died and wants to destroy the happiness of others?"

"Resentment has reached an extremely high level, so even ordinary people can see it?"

He muttered to himself, put down the suitcase in his hand, and took a step forward.

The resentful spirit was suddenly alert, and then, its figure flashed and pounced towards Xu Lun.

Bang Bang Bang –

The equipment of several merry-go-rounds behind it seemed to be overturned by resentment, and the pillars were not known to be aged or what, bent and broken, and in an instant, the entire carousel's canopy fell, raising choking dust.

The resentful spirit rushed over, his nails extended, but he couldn't touch Xu Lun.

“？”

The wraith seemed to sense that something was wrong, and it was extremely confused, why had it stopped?

Its faceless head turned, finally capturing the problem.

On his slender and white limbs, there were several tentacles.

Like an octopus, slippery, pitch black, thick, flexible tentacles.

The tentacles bound his body, tightly wrapped, tied, and immobilized.

"Although I have the temperament of a villain to say this, when it comes to the gameplay of the tentacle system, I'm quite good at it."

As if laughing at himself in his heart, under Xu Lun's priest-like robe, more and stronger tentacles spread out, suppressing the resentful spirit.

Indeed, as Xu Lun said, the tentacles extending from his body were not only thick and long, but also covered with a layer of rough spikes, like thorns.

In contrast, the Wraith is like a kindergarten child who is as pure as snow.

The next moment, the tentacles on Xu Lun's body wrapped the resentful spirits in bondage and pulled them back in front of him.

He lifted his hand, and a tentacle pierced the wraith's head.

Flutter!

There was blood splattered out of the head and fell on Owada Shusuke's face.

Hidesuke Owada, who was covering his eyes, felt a chill on his cheeks, and suddenly shivered.

But soon, a warm and soft touch erased the contents of Hidesuke Owada's face, like a gentle touch from the goddess, making Hidesuke Owada feel that his mind was purified.

Is this the master's method of removing spirits?

I feel like a power that warms people's hearts!

Owada Shusuke thought.

"It's rude."

Xu Lun withdrew the tentacle that had just wiped the blood of the resentful spirit on Owada's cheek.

As for the resentful spirit, it is like a cat caught in the back of the neck of fate, and after a convulsion, it quickly loses all struggle.

"Owada-san, it's been solved, you can open your eyes."

In order to allow customers to witness the whole process and be more satisfied with their own services, Xu Lun usually asks customers to confirm receipt of goods after most of the dangers have been resolved.

"Great...... Wow, what is this, this, this??! ”

Hidesuke Owada, who was still lamenting Xu Lun's efficiency in removing spirits, just opened his eyes, and saw the docile cat-like thing in Xu Lun's hand, and the whole person fell backwards and fell to the ground.

"This is what you commonly call the Wraith, evil spirits and the like, and in most cases, they will appear in the form of a human, and since it is the Crimson Moon, it will become even more powerful."

Xu Lun is very serious about popular science.

"By the way, the most important thing for the wraiths is their heart......"

Xu Lun said as he probed his other hand into the bloody wound of the faceless monster that was trembling slightly, and soon, he took out a palm-smear-sized, constantly wriggling, shiny piece of crystalline flesh.

As the piece of meat was removed, the remaining part of the wraith immediately lost its vitality and turned into black smoke, which dissipated with the wind.

Xu Lun didn't explain much, but leaned over and opened the small suitcase he brought.

Inside, there is a complete set of kitchenware, spices, from Oriental to Western.

Putting the wriggling lump of meat on the portable cutting board, Xu Lun took out a small saucer, took out a green plant rhizome, and rubbed it on the wooden grinding board to create a new green paste.

"What is this?"

Owada Shusuke always felt that thing was a little familiar, but he was not sure of his inner guess.

"Huh? Owada-san doesn't know, this is wasabi. ”

Xu Lun tilted his head and asked rhetorically.

"No, I still know......"

Why grind wasabi on this occasion?

Hidesuke Owada resisted the urge to complain as he saw the wriggling, crystalline mass of flesh slowly moving away from the cutting board.

"Going, running away, Master!"

"Thanks for the reminder."

Xu Lun casually picked up a kitchen knife and nailed the lump of flesh to the cutting board, and the thing struggled a few times, and then there was no further movement.

"What the hell is this—What the hell is this for?"

Owada Shusuke was really confused, it was supposed to be a thriller and weird horror movie scene, why did he suddenly jump to the food channel?

"The heart meat of the wraith is quite a delicious ingredient, and it is perfect for sashimi."

“？”

A question mark popped up on Owada's head.

Sashimi?

Did I have a misunderstanding about sashimi or did you have a misunderstanding about sashimi?

Or is it actually something else that reads "sashimi" and is actually something else entirely?

"Most Japanese cuisine is simple to handle and is not as good as that of China, but sashimi is a good way to eat it that brings out the flavor of the ingredients."

Pouring the gobbed wasabi into a small saucer, Xu Lun took out a small bottle of soy sauce, poured the black liquid into it, and stirred it with chopsticks.

Then, with one hand he held down the core of the wraith's flesh, and with the other he held the knife, cutting it into slices of flesh with precision and certainty.

The meat slices are still jumping and jumping, full of life.

Because of its crystalline sparkle, under the crimson moonlight, it looks like a delicious sashimi, which is mouth-watering.

"I'm moving."

After doing all this, Xu Lun picked up one of the slicing pieces of meat with chopsticks, dipped a little wasabi soy sauce, and put it into his mouth under the stunned gaze of Owada Shuisuke.

Chew chew.

The tough slices of meat mixed with the warm soy sauce give the teeth plenty of feedback to chew, and the pungent taste of ground wasabi ensues, making the tip of the tongue suddenly excited, swallowing only makes people feel refreshed, as if the hard work of the day has been rewarded.

"Delicious."

The highest level of wraiths often only need the most modest cooking methods, and today is the Crimson Moon, and the spirituality grows, and it is the best time to taste the wraiths.

“？”

Owada Shusuke looked at Xu Lun, who was devouring slices of resentful flesh, and didn't know what to say for a while.

I always feel that in such a comparison, the resentful spirit just now is quite beautiful.

"What, do you want to taste a slice, after I process the flesh of the resentful spirit's heart, even if ordinary people eat it, they can increase their physique, however, not everyone can accept such a delicacy, so I didn't recommend the corresponding set meal to you, of course, if you ask, I can also share a little bit with you."

Xu Lun said, ate another slice of meat, and narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was intoxicated.

"No...... I'm not interested. ”

Owada Shusuke felt that his worldview had been turned upside down.

Originally, he thought that to get rid of the spirit was to find the evil spirit and kill it.

Unexpectedly, this master not only found the resentful spirit, killed the resentful spirit, but also ate it up and wiped it clean.

Soul slayers are terrifying!

Owada Shusuke thought.

And Xu Lun, when the people around him were thinking and surprised, had already eaten all the slices of meat.

He put down his chopsticks and sighed with satisfaction.

"Thanks for the hospitality."
