Intuition told Kitagawa Temple that Chiba Hotaru wanted to talk to him about something that should not be a simple matter, and in order to prevent Kitagawa Eri from continuing to be interested in supernatural and strange talks, Kitagawa Temple directly sent Kitagawa Eri to see the painting.

After all, cultivating sentiment is better than catching ghosts and killing them every day.

Even now he had a bold conjecture.

Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Cang, these two sisters, are they the same as him, they can also see where the spirit is.

If that's the case, then the sisters are natives.

From time to time, Kitagawa Temple looks at Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Kura in front.

He subconsciously used his dead air.

In the lingering anger of Morimori, Kitagawa Temple saw the state of the two girls in front of him.

There is a pale black air flow that continues to overflow from Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Cang.

Yes, unlike the golden flow of kindness of Master Haneda, this pale black airflow continued to overflow from Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Cang.

This airflow gave Beichuan Temple the feeling of death qi on his body, but to some extent, the air flow on the other party's body did not seem to be all transformed into dead air.

But the nature is very close, if it weren't for the fact that Beichuan Temple's basic death qi induction was upgraded by the soul attraction flower by one level, it is estimated that he may not be able to distinguish the nature of the black air flow on the other party's body so easily.

As an older sister, Chiba Hotaru is even more black than Chiba Cang's body.

The three of them walked to the reception room after a while.

After Kitagawa Temple was seated, Chiba Hotaru said slightly: "Actually, Kura told me about the Shinkansen, and I apologize to Kitagawa-kun for Kura's faux pas, I hope you don't care." ”

She took off her painter's hat, and her pretty face was full of apologies.

And beside Chiba Hotaru, Chiba Cang's face moved, and he also bowed deeply to Kitagawa Temple:

Beichuan Temple looked at her for a while before he spoke: "The matter is over." ”

Seeing that Kitagawa Temple accepted their apology, Chiba Hotaru put the painter's hat back on, her crystal eyes flashed with brilliance, and the pale black air flow gushed out, she looked at Kitagawa Temple and asked, "I wonder if Kitagawa-kun has encountered a lot of strange things recently?" ”

Uh-

The other party's way of questioning made Beichuan Temple blink uncontrollably.

Isn't this a line that I often say to others?

Chinatsu Chiyuki, Miku Kamiya, Hitomi Asamiya...

Kitagawa Temple remembers that he always began with this sentence.

And why can't the other party use the light black air flow and still can't find the dead qi on his body?

Could it be that the power level of this air flow is one level lower than that of dead air?

Otherwise, this should not be the case.

Just as he was thinking about it, Chiba Hotaru spoke again: "It's not a secret, my sister Chiba Cang and I can see some things that ordinary people can't see for some reason-maybe you won't believe Kitagawa-kun, right?" ”

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

This increasingly familiar line made Kitagawa Temple can't help but glance at Chiba Hotaru, he always feels that the lines he wants to say have been finished by this Chiba Hotaru.

This is the same as when he wants to get rid of grudges or spirits

After a long while, Kitagawa Temple, who was getting more and more strange in his heart, raised his head and said, "What does Miss Hotaru want to say?" ”

Could it be that you have to talk about exorcism for me or something next, right?

"If Kitagawa-kun believes, Cang and I should be able to help you."

Is that really the case?

The problem is that I don't need your help.

"......" Beichuan Temple was a little speechless.

What is this? Pretty girl painter part-time soul remover?

But Kitagawa Temple thought that the situation between himself and the other party seemed to be similar, and he was also a high school student doing some supernatural work part-time-

Is this a bump into peers?

"No need."

"Why not! If you're haunted by resentful spirits, Kitagawa-kun, you might—"

Chiba Hotaru's beautiful face was filled with anxiety.

Through her own ability, she can see that Beichuan Temple is entangled in all kinds of resentment, which is the face of a person with a great calamity.

But she's also a little weird.

is haunted by such a huge amount of resentment, why is this Beichuan Temple still flat.

According to the state of Beichuan Temple, even if he doesn't meet a resentful spirit, there will be a resentful spirit who will take the initiative to find him, but why is he still like an ordinary person. Looking at his ruddy complexion, and listening to his neutral voice, it doesn't look like he has been haunted by resentful spirits for many years.

Her sister Chiba Kura had said before that this Kitagawa Temple had the aura of being haunted by spirits, and she looked at it and found that it was indeed the case.

Hotaru Chiba was also a little confused.

Can't all those resentful spirits be torn apart by this Beichuan-kun, right?

She temporarily suppressed these confusions in her heart, and asked again: "Beichuan-kun, what do you think of my paintings?" ”

"Very good." Kitagawa Temple thought for a moment and replied.

Chiba Hotaru's paintings are indeed very good, the composition is delicate, and Kitagawa Temple, who doesn't know much about art, thinks it's good-looking.

Chiba Hotaru looked at Kitagawa Temple, and continued: "Everything in human imagination is based on cognition, whether it is gods, spirits, or hell, it is only when people have a cognition of this series of things in their brains that they can imagine and draw, Kitagawa-kun, does the resentful spirit I painted conform to your perception of the image of resentful spirit?" ”

Beichuan Temple nodded: "It's already very close." ”

Kitagawa Temple is a person who has seen resentful spirits, so it is natural to see that the resentful spirits in Chiba Hotaru's paintings are very close to reality.

Although Hotaru Chiba drew all ordinary resentful spirits, it was enough.

After all, it is impossible for her to be like Kitagawa Temple, and she can still see a resentful spirit similar to the resentful spirit of the martyr of Sucha High School and the resentful spirit of the Knife Witch.

"I've seen those things, so... Just-hmm. ”

Chiba Hotaru just wanted to continue to persuade, but her pretty face suddenly turned white, as if she remembered something a long time ago, and the light in her smart eyes quickly dimmed.

She turned out to be retching.

"Sister!" It was obviously not the first time that Chiba Kura had dealt with such a scene, and she quickly took out the vomit bag placed in the back of the wheelchair, opened it and stuffed it into Chiba Hotaru's hand, and gently patted Chiba Hotaru on the back with her other hand.

Her face was full of worry.

And looking at Chiba Hotaru's pale and weak face, Kitagawa Temple reacted.

It turned out that the person he was talking to just now was a sick and weak girl in a wheelchair.

To be honest, because Chiba Hotaru was too strong and intelligent just now, Kitagawa Temple subconsciously ignored the fact that the other party was deficient.

This is undoubtedly a peculiar girl.

Talking to her always subconsciously overlooks her physical deficiencies.

"Miss Hotaru, are you alright?" Kitagawa Temple asked.

"No problem." Hotaru Chiba nodded, taking a few deep breaths before her complexion recovered.

She waved her hand at Chiba Cang, indicating that she had no problem, and then looked at Beichuan Temple again: "Beichuan-kun, maybe you still don't believe me yet, but I can indeed see the abnormality on your body." ”

Chiba Hotaru glanced at Chiba Cang, nodded to her before speaking slowly: "Twelve years ago, Cang, I and I had to drive my parents to the suburbs for a picnic... After that, there was a major traffic accident, and my sister and I were desperately protected by my mother... So survived. ”

Chiba Cang wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes,

"My sister's legs were left with problems at that time, and now she can't stand up on her own."

It was undoubtedly a very cruel and bloody scene.

The corpses of my parents, the pungent smell of blood and corpses, the pain all over my body... Those are what Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Cang can't forget.

"It was at that time that we began to see things that ordinary people couldn't see."

Hotaru Chiba stroked the area around her eye sockets.

Death was once so close to her, and when she completely escaped from the brink of death, she found that she was no longer the same as ordinary people.

This inexplicable sense of inversion and the feeling of being out of place with the classmates around him made Chiba Hotaru's elementary school life extremely difficult.

Spirits can be seen.

Who would believe such a thing?

The spirits come in different shapes, but they are undoubtedly terrifying, and their terrifying shapes make Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Kura tremble.

The line between life and death is so thin in her and her sister's world, as if you can touch another world just by reaching out.

At that time, it was the Tsukishima family who temporarily adopted them.

And in the process of adoption, her sister Chiba Kura is going to school, and Chiba Hotaru, who has inconvenient legs, can only find new spiritual sustenance.

That's drawing.

Draw the world as you see it.

Draw the line between life and death.

In that far, far away, in the hidden world, what exists?

What Chiba Kura paints is not a figure painting or a landscape painting, but a portrait of the heart in her heart.

That's all.

As they grow older, Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Kura are independent from the Tsukishima family, but they still visit the Tsukishima family that adopted them every year.

"Uncle Tsukishima's kindness, I can't repay the ability with Kura, but at least I will send money to Uncle Tsukishima's bank card every year... It's just that he hits him back every time. ”

Chiba Hotaru smiled a little bitterly: "And it is precisely because of the existence of good people like Risa, Uncle Tsukishima, and Aunt Tsukishima that Kura and I will survive." ”

"I think that since this ability to see through the line between life and death is in me and Kura, Uncle Tsukishima must want me to use it to help others."

The white eyes of the relatives kicked themselves and their sister around like bowling balls, and they were finally taken in by the Tsukishima family.

There are many good people in this world after all...

"I see."

After listening to Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Cang's narration, Kitagawa Temple understood why the other party had such a strange ability.

It turned out that the other party had been exposed to death when he was a child, and he adapted to death, and thus gave birth to an ability similar to death.

Sure enough, the world is so big that there are no surprises.

"Kura and I really want to help you, Kitagawa-kun, so I want you to tell us if you still have that puppet, maybe it was that puppet that gave you such a fierce appearance."

"......" Kitagawa Temple.

If the poor little guy heard this, he would probably immediately jump on Chiba Hotaru's head angrily.

However, the other party is also concerned about himself, and he doesn't have to put on such a posture of rejecting others thousands of miles away.

Besides, in order to convince themselves that Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Kura had almost revealed their old backgrounds, Kitagawa Temple felt that it was not good to hide the words of these two again.

He groaned and said dryly:

"It's not a pitiful question, Miss Hotaru, please rest assured."

"Pathetic?" Chiba Kura and Chiba Hotaru didn't react a little.

"It's the puppet you've been talking about, and now she's a member of my family, not the vicious spirit you say, don't worry."

Kitagawa Temple explained.

"Kitagawa-kun... Are you saying that you have been able to communicate with the spirits? Chiba Kura on the side said in disbelief.

She hadn't done anything like that.

After all, good spirits are very rare, and most of them are more or less contaminated with obsession, and once the obsession erupts, it will turn into resentment.

Hotaru Chiba tried to communicate, but it didn't work at all.

In this regard, she can only use the black qi on her body with her sister Chiba Cang to get rid of all those resentful spirits.

It's also fortunate that the two of them haven't encountered any cruel, tyrannical and powerful resentful spirits, otherwise Beichuan Temple wouldn't think that the black qi on their bodies could solve those resentful spirits.

Seeing that Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Cang were full of disbelief, Kitagawa Temple didn't think too much about it, and directly spread out his palms in front of the two.

In it, a pitch-black air stream was circling slowly.

"It's ——?" Chiba Hotaru stared at her beautiful eyes and looked at Kitagawa Temple incredulously.

As soon as this pitch-black air flow appeared, the temperature in the room seemed to drop by several degrees.

And... Looking at it this way, the pitch-black air flow is like the air flow on her and Chiba Cang's body.

But she seemed to feel that something was not right.

It's just that Chiba Hotaru can't say what is not quite right.

"I call this flow of air."

Kitagawa Temple explains it succinctly and understandably.

“... Death..."Chiba Cang muttered the word in astonishment, his black eyes full of surprise.

Beichuan Temple only showed the dead qi, and as for the dead qi that had been fused with the fire, Beichuan Temple was not in a hurry to let the two of them know.

Kitagawa Temple withdrew his hand and said, "It seems that we have similar abilities. ”

He already has an understanding of the 'death qi' on Chiba Kura and Chiba Hotaru.

The dead air on Chiba Kura and Chiba Hotaru feels more similar to the mutilated version of 'dead air'.

The feeling of lightness and fluttering was completely devoid of the dead air on his body.

“... Be... Is that so? Chiba Hotaru couldn't help but look at Kitagawa Temple one more time.

The black air flow in Beichuan Temple's hand was obviously more aggressive, and the feeling of the forest flowing was many times more condensed than their 'dead qi'.

"And we... It's the same..."Chiba Warehouse obviously hadn't experienced anything like this, and her eyes were a little glazed.

Like her own sister, she also perceives the extraordinary thing about being dead at the hands of Kitagawa Temple.

originally thought that the other party needed their help, but I didn't expect Beichuan Temple to be a big guy in itself, and he didn't need their help at all.

But then, the content of Beichuan Temple's words made the two of them look upside down, as if they saw a ghost.

I saw that Beichuan Temple asked coldly:

"If Miss Hotaru doesn't mind, I can show you your feet."

Look at the feet?

Is it possible that death can still have a therapeutic effect?

Chiba Hotaru and Chiba Cang opened their mouths even more, and they couldn't even speak for a while.
