"Now." "Now." "Now." "Now." "Now." "Now."

The various tones, the call of the voice, are superimposed and repeated in the streets.

Qiao Qiao raised the pistol.

He whispered.

"In the folklore of Aomori Prefecture, there is a kind of weirdness."

"There's nothing special about this weirdness, and my favorite thing to do is to suddenly shout 'wow' behind passers-by when they are walking at night, so this weird name is also called 'wow'."

"It was supposed to be just a weirdness that bordered on a prank."

"But I didn't expect that in Tokyo, this weirdness actually evolved."

Through the windows of nearby houses, Qiao Qiao could see that a dark shadow was trying to surround him behind him.

Instead of looking back, he fired a shot directly in the back.

Bang –

The blaster shot out and hit the black shadow.

However, at the moment of contact.

The shadow dissipated like mist, and the bullet failed to inflict fatal damage.

Very cunning.

"Qiao Jun!"

Behind him, the voice of Natsume's poetry was heard.

Qiao Qiao was indifferent and only skillfully loaded the bullets.

"The number of weirdness is scarce, and the research on it is even less, but in essence, it is a weirdness that belongs to the 'sound'."

Due to previous experience.

When Qiao Qiao was reading weird-related books, he gave priority to reading some rare and special monsters.

For example, the weirdness of "wow".

According to the current theory, it is a person who no one paid attention to during his lifetime.

After death, in order to attract the attention of others.

Creates a sound to frighten the spirits.

In fact, the sound of "wow" is the basis for the resentful spirit.

In the legend, it's "wow".

Then draw inferences.

What "hey", "heh" and "tsk" should also exist.

And on this street in Chiyoda Ward, it is estimated that it is "na".

It's just that it's weird compared to tradition.

"Na" has evolved.

It's like the clown in Mr. Shinnosuke Arai's company that relies on memes to spread.

This "na" of Chiyoda-ku.

It's the other way around.

It's an antimemetic weirdness.

Memetic weirdness is weirdness that spreads through the spread of information.

Antimemetic weirdness is weirdness that spreads through the elimination of information.

Qiao Qiao guessed.

Suppose you are walking down this alley and you hear a call and turn around.

You will be affected by weirdness.

Just like Natsume's poetry.

Antimemes that the apprentice shrine maidens of Ueno Toshogu Palace can't resist, Qiao Qiao is not confident that he can completely resist it.

And after being affected by the weirdness, the biggest difference.

It just won't be able to convey the message that "this alley is dangerous" at all.

This information is eliminated by antimemetics in the process of transmission, and is transformed into something else.

For example, "There is a lucky path in Chiyoda-ku", and so on.

Ryoko Saito, Yu Kinoshita, Natsume poetry, including Ayumi Saito.

Several people were completely affected by antimemes.

This influence does not stop at the voice, but completely changes the way their words, actions, and appearance to outsiders.

As long as they have the slightest desire to reveal the truth about this alley.

Their words may sound like praise for the alley, and their actions will turn into urging everyone to go to the alley.

Even.

Even ordinary talking and chatting will unconsciously become a topic of conversation in the alleys where everyone goes to Amway.

In simple terms.

Those who are affected by "na" will become slaves to it.

Attract more people to it.

It's quite a bit of a tiger's taste.

As for what "Na" did to these people.

Qiao Qiao guessed that it was probably absorbed from their spiritual power, spirit.

Such repetition will not only lead to the gradual decline of the victim, but also continue to spread the impact.

Eventually, it may even become one of Tokyo's most famous tourist destinations.

and even transform themselves into the second type of weirdness.

It's really a good idea.

But.

"Na" is underestimating human beings after all.

Especially for words, the ambiguous way of expression is so good at the Chinese people.

Since even the moonlight is so beautiful, it means that I love you.

So to convey the message that the alley is dangerous, why do you have to mention it here?

Like what.

Ayumi Saito passes by this alley every day at ten o'clock.

Like what.

Ryoko Saito and Yu Kinoshita mentioned the same thing in Jobashi's ear for two days in a row.

Another example.

Natsume's smile.

Anything that makes the people around you feel strange, especially the soul slayer.

are enough to convey the message.

It's all in words.

So.

Today, before coming to the alley.

Qiao Qiao was completely prepared.

It's as if he pulled a simple switch out of his pocket.

I put on another pair of headphones.

"The Valkyrie's Ride" was played.

"Even if there is a change in controlling antimemes, it is still just weird after all."

Qiao Qiao pressed the switch.

Behind him, there was a sudden explosion.

Bang –

A loud explosion drowned out all the sounds of "na".

The shock wave from the explosion caused Qiao Qiao's clothes to flutter slowly.

Qiao Qiao still did not look back to confirm the explosion.

This is what Qiao Qiao quietly put on the ground when he tied his shoelaces just now.

It is an explosive with a fuse.

This explosive does not carry much spiritual power, and it is not used to remove spirits itself.

Rather, it is used to make "sound".

The loud sound makes the "na" of the sound suddenly appear.

It appeared behind Qiao Qiao.

And rightfully so.

After all, one of the key signs of its troubles is the need for others to turn back.

So, this has become a breakthrough instead.

Impacted by the sound waves, the black shadow of "Na" vibrated constantly, and it was difficult to return to the original fog state.

At this time, Qiao Qiao's muzzle was aimed at "Na".

"Now, can you die?"

Qiao Qiao pulled the trigger.

Fragments of a burst projectile, this time not missed.

Spiritual water crystals, shrapnel, ruthlessly pierced the black mist.

Accompanied by the sound of "na" that gradually changes tone.

Finally, the black fog is completely eliminated.

The dust kicked up by the explosion behind him began to fall gradually.

Qiao Qiao didn't look back.

"Yes, saved......" "Great......"

Behind him came the weak voices of Ryuko Saito and Yu Kinoshita.

"Qiao Jun, it's really good that you can understand what I mean...... Belch? ”

Natsume poetry came behind Qiao Qiao, but found that the muzzle of the black hole was aimed at him.

"Wait, Qiao Jun, the resentful spirit is gone, it's okay."

"No, just to be on the safe side, please keep Natsume-san and me at least ten meters apart."

Qiao Qiaotou said without replying.

Subsequently, after confirming through the reflection of the mobile phone that all three were far away from him.

Qiao Qiao took out a spray-type spiritual water from his bag.

Then he went backwards step by step, back to the entrance of the alley.

Like a sprinkler truck, it sprayed and moved forward, and completely sprayed the alley with spiritual water.

"Wait, please don't move."

After spraying, Qiao Qiao stopped the actions of several people.

He concocted it the same way.

I lit another incense stick.

Smoked the whole trail again.

After that.

It's not enough.

"Natsume-san, do you have any royal coins or kagura bells or anything like that, can you help clean up this street again?"

Hear Qiao Qiao's words.

Natsume's poetry, which was originally admired by Qiao Qiao's excellent soul removal technique.

“？？？”

The question mark on my head kept popping up.
