Chapter 7 Everywhere you pass is the kingdom of God

In Yujing Temple.

The little monk who led the practice took a break, and if he didn't understand something, he asked the old abbot for advice.

"Abbot, the book says that ghosts and gods become Buddhas and will leave 'obsessive relics', why have you never seen it."

"Then there must be people who can cross the ghosts and gods to become Buddhas, so that they can see the relics of obsession."

"Has the abbot ever seen one?"

"In the early years, I saw someone become a ghost and god, and I was fortunate to see the relics of obsession."

"What's so strange?"

"Obsessed with people, focusing on things, you can move all the mountains, you can dry up the sea, where the heart wants, where the strength goes."

"Abbot, can Ikkyu cross the ghosts and gods?"

"Ikyu, don't think about it."

The abbot smiled and shook his head.

"If you become a Buddha, if you don't succeed, you will be a demon, and if you fail to cross the ghosts and gods, you will die without life."

……

Su Qi: This is the first time he has seen ghosts and gods become Buddhas.

The dirty ghost at noon doesn't count, it was eliminated by the witch's method.

After the ghost disappears, it seems that there is something left behind.

A copy of "One Hundred People's One Song".

Su Qi wanted to pick it up, but the moment he touched it, "One Song for One Hundred People" turned into white light and drilled into his body.

Obsessions and memories come flooding in.

This is the obsession of the deceased, the long-cherished wish of the dead.

Su Qi was in a trance, looking back for an unknown number of years.

The life of Mr. Miangu, an eternal celebrity, flashed quickly in his mind.

"Mr. Miangu, have you really decided to retire, it's a pity."

Mr. Mianya just shook his head in the face of this question, and the song sign on the tatami mat in front of him was so blurred in his eyes that he couldn't see clearly.

From loving song cards since childhood, to becoming an eternal celebrity step by step, and then to visual decline, I had to retire.

Mr. Miangu's singing career is like fireworks,

Wonderful short, wonderful short.

"It turns out that Mr. Mianya retired because of the symptoms of visual deterioration......"

Su Qi looked at the display cabinet next to him, leaving too many trophies, awards, and commemorative photos of this eternal celebrity, and couldn't help but sigh.

However, Mr. Mianya never left his passion, and he began teaching here and began to teach singing cards to students.

In his later years, Mr. Mianya almost completely lost the ability to see things with his eyes.

But he custom-made a deck of Braille cards.

With the help of the Braille memory card array, he can perform blind drawing even if he doesn't look at the cards, just like Su Qi did today.

100 songs are infallible!

This is probably the ultimate love.

……

Memories pass in a hurry, and obsessions remain in my heart.

Su Qi was surprised to notice that there seemed to be something more in his brain.

Close your eyes.

Lines are imaginary in the mind.

The beams and pillars in the song room, the tables and chairs, the flower arrangements in the vases, and the photos in the display cases......

In Su Qi's mind, the lines clearly outlined the fictional model of this song card room.

I have this imaginary line model in my mind, and even if I close my eyes and walk blindly, I can still act as usual.

This......

Pushing the door and walking out, the fiction in my mind became a fog, chaotic thread.

Su Qi opened his eyes and looked outside the song card.

Close your eyes again.

Chaos reinforces order, and the lines are void in the hallway, glass windows, and portraits......

Su Qi walked around the song room and the teaching building, and there were more and more clear lines in his mind.

Where I have walked and seen.

can be added to the mind and built into a "fictional" line world.

Su Qi walked around most places outside the school building, but did not go inside the teaching building.

The whole school, formed in his mind.

Everything I see is in my heart.

Everywhere you go, it's the kingdom of God.

……

Su Qi is next to the green belt behind the teaching building.

Under the shade of a tree, slowly generating one,

A small shrine made of white light.

A waka is written on the shrine.

It's a beacon, a boundary marker.

A pin on the map, a marker.

The representation symbolizes this area, incorporated into his "imaginary world".

Su Qi looked at this "fictitious" ability that came from that ghost god to become a Buddha, and his heart was surprised.

He still didn't understand why the things left behind by ghosts and gods after becoming Buddhas could give him strange abilities.

But.

"If I build the whole of Tokyo in my fictional world, I can go anywhere even if I close my eyes and walk blindly......

Lie to yourself, blind and ignorant.

If you close your eyes, you don't have to see those terrifying ghosts.

……

Su Qi studied and went home.

Along.

Commuting routes, laneways, neighborhoods, intersections, tram stops......

It's all built up in "fiction".

The layout of dead objects on the commute is etched in my mind.

Moving people, cars, and things are a cloud of gray fog.

Ghost, it's black fog.

Su Qi was familiar with these, and he could walk as usual with his eyes closed.

Now it's all right.

If you live in the future, it's too scary.

It's a big deal to cut off the sound, close your eyes and don't look at those horrible things.

Provided, of course, that

He had to go all over the ghost-infested Tokyo first, and "fictionalize" the whole Tokyo in his mind.

……

Survive in purgatory on earth.

The scumbag Su Qi can only think of dealing with it with this attitude, otherwise what else can he do.

That's a man-eating ghost.

On the way home, just now.

Su Qi really saw the so-called "eating".

One ghost is eating another.

I really grabbed it and choked it directly in my mouth, so that the whole ghost was twisted and deformed, and I ate it.

This scene directly convinced him.

Those ghosts are not joking, once they are exposed, nine percent of them will really eat him like this.

……

"You can see it...... You can't see ......."

"He can see it...... He can't see ......"

"I'm going to eat him...... I'm going to eat your ......"

Su Qi trembled, under great fear and psychological pressure, and secretly looked at the ecology of ghosts and gods.

These ghosts behave strangely and abnormally.

There is no wisdom, and logic is vague.

On weekdays, some of them wander completely unconsciously, and there are many of them on the streets.

Some of them are like robots that follow certain habits and follow the rules, such as the "parents" at home.

But, it doesn't matter what kind of ghost it is.

All have one thing in common.

Just be aware of the condition of being seen.

It will be as if you have fallen into a demonic barrier, and let out a terrifying and terrifying murmur.

The mouth kept repeating eating, eating, eating.

Ghosts and gods will also eat each other.

……

These ghosts are invisible to ordinary people.

Some people can see some of it, such as the witch goddess Kawayumi.

As for Su Qi himself, he didn't understand why he could see so many ghosts at all.

Anyway, it's definitely not a good thing.

Noticing its existence, it is a ghost's cannibalistic mechanism.

Ordinary people who can't see ghosts are the safest.

……

Beyond that, though, there's something special about it.

A ghost mixed with humans.

My childhood sweetheart who turned around, Saye.

She is clearly supposed to be a ghost, but she can be seen by others, has normal human behavior and intelligence, and lives a normal life in humans.

It was only when I happened to run into her that I turned around that I found out that she was a ghost.

This ghost also seems to follow the cannibalistic mechanism, but the feeling is slightly different.

Su Qi still can't figure it out.

But it's always right not to be found out she's a ghost.

……

Su Qi was scared in his heart.

On the other hand, in order to live longer in this ghost-infested Tokyo, he had to carefully observe and study the ecology of these ghosts, and suffered mental torture.

It's just too much of a sin.

I'm really scared......

Su Qi went home depressed, and then he had to cheer up and play with his "parents" on the spot, deliberately ignoring them.

It's not an easy thing to do.

His "mother" always asks questions from time to time, and interacts with each other.

Su Qi was really afraid that he would be absent-minded one day, and accidentally agreed to a word, then GG, it was over.

……

After dinner.

Su Qi went to the bathroom to inquire and found that the wet ghost was gone.

Not behind the door, not in the basin, not in the toilet, not in the bathtub, nowhere to go, I don't know where to go.

Su Qixin said that no matter what, the opportunity is right, he wants to take a bath, and he was scared yesterday and didn't wash it.

turned around and took off his clothes, took the bathing utensils,

Pull back the shower curtain......

In the bathtub where there was nothing just now, there was actually a damp ghost sitting.

The gap between the thick long hair that covered the entire skull, and the hollow eye sockets were faintly exposed, looking at him silently.
