Chapter 21: This collector is not very good either

Is it really the emperor's new clothes?

The corners of Su Qi's mouth twitched.

If you can't see it, you dare to spend money to buy it.

There is really a big man who is willing to spend so much money and pay an IQ tax.

"Then the spiritual power you said is insufficient, you can't see it at all, you can't use those ghost relics, what are you buying it for?"

"Just because you can't see it if you don't have enough inspiration doesn't mean you can't use it, and there are some means that you can temporarily increase your inspiration and ghost-seeing ability."

Mayumi Kamigawa took her phone and found a photo and showed it to Su Qi.

In the photo, a red gravel.

"The Philosopher's Stone is also called a panacea."

Kamigawa gestured his finger.

"The mystical gems that have been handed down from some mystic schools are also very rare and have many mystical functions.

Taking a grain of rice can greatly increase people's inspiration and ability to see ghosts in a very short period of time. ”

"Expensive, right?"

"It's not cheaper than a ghost relic."

"If you buy an invisible ghost and god relic, you can't see it with the Sage's Stone, and you can't use it, then it's ......."

"Be a family heirloom."

"Would you rather keep it as a family heirloom than admit that you were fooled?"

These psionics are too much of a gambler.

It's still the kind that can't afford to lose.

"The world of psionics is very dangerous, and the more powerful psionics are, the more likely they are to encounter dangerous ghosts.

There are many seniors who overturned on the ghost road.

Obtaining magical abilities from the relics of ghosts and gods can be used as a means to get rid of spirits and exorcise ghosts.

Even if you have the slightest chance, you have to pay for it and give it a try. ”

Mayumi Kamigawa said.

Su Qi admits this.

He himself, whether it is "One Song of One Hundred People" or lipstick, has indeed provided him with a lot of help in terms of "fiction" and "skin-painting" abilities.

Especially the painted skin.

Recently been targeted by Miss Mary.

If he didn't have the ability to draw skin, he might have been cold.

He is an "ordinary person" with no psychic powers, and he can deal with ghosts through the ability of ghosts and gods.

It's no wonder that those who have spiritual abilities are so hungry for ghost and god relics.

……

Su Qi and Mayumi Kamigawa walked around the venue.

A shrine maiden came looking for her.

"Mayumi, Master Kamigawa is looking for you."

Kamigawa agreed and said to Su Qi:

"I'm sorry, my father came looking for me, you can just walk around here first.

Later, when the auction is over, I'll ask my father to help you see what to do with the exorcism. ”

"Okay."

The little witch who came to find someone looked back at Su Qi curiously before leaving.

Who is this man?

Why did you go with Mayumi?

……

Kamigawa Mayumi has something to do and leaves.

Su Qi walked around the shrine by himself.

In addition to the relics of ghosts and gods in the display case.

He was also observing the psionics in the room.

In addition to priests, monks, and Christians, these people who are more conspicuously dressed, there are some other organizations or individuals, and Su Qi doesn't quite recognize them.

However, there is a group of people in uniform regular clothes and three words embroidered on the cuffs "Tuyumen", and they come and go more frequently.

I've been wandering around the showcases, negotiating offers.

……

Tsuchimimon.

Su Qi had heard of it.

A branch of Yin-Yang Shintoism.

Quite famous in history.

During the Edo Tokugawa shogunate, he monopolized the compilation of the calendar and participated in shogunate politics.

At that time, the Yin and Yang Liao was subordinate to the Central Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Left Appraisal Bureau, and was in charge of divination, astronomy, time, and calendar.

That is, what people now call onmyoji.

However, during the Meiji Restoration.

With the end of the shogunate period and the establishment of the Meiji Emperor government, religious Shinto naturally had to change.

The monarchy has changed, and the divine power has changed.

The Tokugawa shogunate's former retainer's Doomon Shinto.

Onmyoji is in the same vein.

The cult, which was naturally classified as "feudal superstition," was dealt a blow and withdrew from the stage of history.

But.

I heard that the Tsuchigomon is still active among the people.

Su Qi looked at the onmyoji of these Earth Imperial Gates at the auction site, and they were obviously also spiritual powers.

……

Su Qi walked outside for a long time, the people were noisy, there were more and more people coming to the auction, and the scene was a little noisy.

Su Qi simply looked for a place with few people to go.

Along the Zuigaki corridor, I walked to the inner circle of the main hall.

Quiet and quiet, burn incense and worship the gods.

The inner circle of the main hall is generally a place where the body of the gods is enshrined.

For those who come to the shrine today, everyone's attention is on the auction.

So, not many people come here.

Su Qi walked into the hall where the god body was enshrined.

Footsteps paused.

In the temple, in front of the altar, stood a man.

Tuxedo, white gloves, and a jeweled cane.

The other party also heard the sound of someone coming, turned his head to see Su Qi, and said:

"Hello, sir."

He took two steps forward, and one leg was a little inconvenient.

“……”

Su Qi looked at the hall and was a little stunned, swallowed his saliva, and didn't speak for a while.

The gentleman in the tuxedo picked up his cane and said again:

"Sir, Hans. Greetings to Hans Christian Andersen. ”

"Oh, you, hello."

Only then did Su Qi come back to his senses.

"I'm sorry, I'm in the wrong place."

Su Qi smiled politely with a bad face, and turned around to leave.

"Wait, you're here for the auction?"

"Count...... Sort of. ”

"I'm going back too, we're together."

Mr. Andersen walked over with a cane and a smile.

"You ......"

"The organizer of this auction."

Su Qi was stunned.

"You're a collector?"

"You can call it that."

Mr. Andersen did not deny it.

Su Qi was surprised.

This is what Kamigawa says about collectors?

The group that can do what they can't do with ordinary spiritual abilities, take out a large number of ghost and god relics, and be extremely mysterious.

……

The two walked out of the main hall.

Hans Christian Andersen suddenly said to Su Qi:

"You don't have any psionic energy in you, but you have a strong ability to see ghosts, which is rare."

Su Qi turned his head to look at him in surprise.

Mayumi Kamigawa didn't even discover her ability to see ghosts, but this person ......

Could he also see what he saw?

"You too...... Visible? ”

Su Qi pointed to the shrine main hall behind him, and his words were full of trills.

"Of course I can, otherwise I wouldn't have been here for so long."

That's great!

Su Qi was ecstatic in his heart.

It's like being trapped in the mountains and not knowing how long you have been with wild beasts, and finally seeing people and seeing your own kind of people!

No wonder Kamigawa says these collectors are mysterious and capable.

This trip to the shrine is the right one!

Hans Christian Andersen nodded and said:

"In the main hall, those two foxes and ghosts."

Behind the two of them, in the main hall of Inari Shrine.

One black and one white.

Two giant fox-type ghosts more than four meters tall!

Squat in the temple.

The two pairs of empty eyes, pitch black and all-white, look down on all living beings, like messengers of the gods.

"That's a terrible guy, not everyone can see it, I'm interested in you now."

When Su Qi heard this, the corners of his mouth stiffened.

The smile on his face came to an abrupt end.

The whole person was like being splashed with a basin of cold water.

Ghosts...... Two?

……

Su Qi's perspective.

In the main hall behind him, two foxes and ghosts lined up left and right in the temple.

And in the middle of the temple, the place where the deity is enshrined.

A fox mask under the facial features of the hollow, the skeleton hand holding the rice lotus grain wheat, soaring clouds and mist, curling smoke, sitting down nearly ten meters high, the head of the huge ghost god straight to the temple beam!

There are only two foxes and ghosts in the main hall.

The real Lord, the terrifying Inari Ghost God.

I'm sitting inside!

……

No, not at all.

Su Qizhan muttered tremblingly in his heart.

This collector, not at all.

He couldn't see the horror of what he saw.

……
