Chapter 53: The Vortex of Clouds and Rain (Part II)

After Fu Jixian returned to the room, he directly put on his backpack and rested the cat on top of the backpack, and he was ready to go out.

The truth is not that he had eaten in the afternoon, as he just said, in fact, his last meal was in Tokyo.

It's already dark, so if you want to ask him how he feels at this moment, one word, hungry.

He would have to take advantage of the fact that the convenience store in town was not closed to buy something to eat...... By the way, he was the only one who didn't eat, and Encho had already eaten dinner.

As a (self-confessed) warm man of old Asassi, although Fu Jixian didn't bring snacks for himself when he traveled, he brought a can of cat food with him.

After bringing the cat, Fu Ji Xianli didn't go out immediately, he went downstairs and wandered around the courtyard of the mansion.

Then he was "caught" by a male maid after a while, and the other person was the one who brought him to the guest room.

"Is there any problem with the guest, and if there is any trouble or inconvenience, I think I can help." He said to Fu Ji Xianli.

"Oh, yes, I'd like to go around the town down the hill, and if you can, please provide me with the right transportation." Fu Jixian said.

In fact, Fu Ji Xianli was looking for the maid who gave him a hint at the dinner table at this time, and from the actions of the maid, it was obvious that she knew something, so he wanted to find out some news through her.

It's just a pity that things don't seem to be so simple, there are not a few servants in this foreign mansion, and Fu Jixian, a stranger, can't find a specific person in a short period of time without being noticed by others.

"Do guests need a car and a driver?"

"I need a car, two-wheeled, self-propped, but I don't need a driver."

There was no way, Fu Jixian could only borrow a bicycle by the way. As for the four-wheeled car, he doesn't have a driver's license if he wants to drive.

“……

Got it, please wait, I'll go get ready right away. ”

The transportation in the mansion is quite complete, and after a while, the maid really pushed a road bicycle over.

"Forgot to ask the guest if they want a road bike or a mountain bike or a lady's car, if you are not used to road bikes, you can change the ......"

"No, this one will do, thank you."

Bicycles are a means of transportation, no matter what kind Fu Jixian can control.

Then he rode out of the Western-style hotel and went straight to the convenience store.

It seems that there is one thing that Ogasawara Shin said just now, in various detective suspense stories, people like Fu Ji Xianli who start acting alone without saying a word will indeed die so quickly than others.

In the process of buying bread and drinking water at the convenience store, the convenience store clerk may have noticed Fu Jixianli's identity as a "tourist", so the other party exclaimed, "This year's mangrove forests are red very early."

Fu Jixian thought thoughtfully, and then silently kept this sentence in his heart.

He spent about half an hour in the town, and because of the large number of tourists, the town was quite lively at night. Originally, Fu Jixian wanted to stay in the town for a while, but what he didn't expect was that the weather suddenly changed...... There was a sound of thunder coming from the far sea and the middle of the sky.

It looks like it's going to rain.

So Fu Jixian could only ride back to the mansion as soon as possible, but unfortunately his riding speed was still not as fast as the weather change, and it was already raining halfway through.

By the time Fu Jixianli returned to the Western-style Pavilion again, he had already been drenched in soup.

After twisting the rain at the door, he came to the second floor where his guest room was located, and at this time he found that by the window of the living room on the second floor, Hideji Chinuma and Nobu Ogasawara were sitting opposite each other on the sofa, admiring the rain curtain outside the window, and discussing something.

I guess it's something about the search for the source of the Anyi Temple.

But...... Isn't there someone who has an indifferent attitude of "mutual distrust", how can this be discussed again? Sure enough, men are fickle.

Fu Jixian naturally didn't come over to be bored, he just glanced at them, and then silently returned to his room...... He was a little curious about the few people who had eaten the food provided by the Western-style restaurant, and whether anything had changed in their bodies at this time.

Dried the cat with a towel, and Fu Jixianli also had to borrow pajamas in the guest room.

Then he lay down on the bed and began to send messages to Aoi Manaka.

"Sister Aoi, today someone told me about Yujia, Xuanren, Tianyuan, and Shenyi, what does this mean."

At the time of the message, he sent a fifty-syllable kana because he couldn't determine how the kanji was written from the other party's words...... So he can only pronounce pinyin, but Zhenzhong Aoi still understands the corresponding meaning.

Soon, Fu Jixian got the other party's reply, probably the single Sister Kwai was very idle at night.

"It's been a long time since the 'level' of people like us was used to distinguish who could deal with what level of 'danger'. Roughly speaking, the 'Goga' has the weakest ability to deal with anomalous things and the strongest 'divine opinion', but now that people like us are not so organized, few people will use this kind of expression...... Did Richjun receive a new commission? ”

"Well, a very interesting thing, now I'm in Shizuoka Prefecture...... 'Mika' is the Miga of 'Mikako'?"

Fu Jixian said rationally that he was cultivating immortals here, and there was still a level for this? To put it bluntly, isn't it equivalent to the Foundation's D-class, C-class, B-class, and A-class personnel, what are you doing so complicated?

"Yes, it's actually the abbreviation of Mikakusako."

"Goga Kusako" refers to the popular literature of the Muromachi period in Japan, "Kusako" means "monogatari", and "Goga" can be understood as night talk, nonsense, chatter, gossip, flickering, etc., and a considerable part of this kind of literature is a horror and grotesque story, so it is not difficult to understand the use of such a title to refer to the profession of "ghost catcher" or "demon slayer".

Fu Ji Xianli has gradually understood that the work they do seems to be different from that of traditional professional onmyoji, so it is normal to have a unique name.

"I see, Sister Aoi, you can sleep."

“……”

Fu Jixian thought about it ideally, and he felt that Ogasawara Shin would use this kind of expression, just like some people like to use traditional characters to communicate with people in daily life, there are roughly three possibilities: first, pretending to be forced, for the sake of maverick and individuality; second, there is a traditional plot, a classical yearning, or conservatism; Third, it shows that he has a background.

So which one is the other party?

Well, it doesn't matter which one he is.

Fu Jixian felt that his brain was pumping, why should he think about such a meaningless question.

"It's raining...... It's raining again. ”

Letting go of this question, Fu Jixianli put his phone aside, and then turned his head to look at the dark night outside the window.

And at this moment, a bright lightning bolt lit up the outside, and before the distant thunder reached his ears, the scene in his eyes made Fu Jixian stand up suddenly.

At a quick glance, he seemed to see something standing there in the courtyard.

It was pitch black as a puddle of mud, barely holding its human form when it stood upright, but its body seemed to melt away.

The white glow of lightning flashed in the dark night, and it made people ignore the sound of the rain, and only felt that the courtyard outside was as quiet as a ghost.

What's more, the thing seemed to be tearing a person alongside it.

Fu Jixian didn't say a word, just put his feet in his slippers, and then rushed out the door.

And when he opened the door, there were already two people rushing down the stairs first.

It should be the two who were in the living room just now.

Obviously, Fu Jixian is not the only one who has just seen the situation outside.
