Chapter Seventy-Five: The Retreat of Ghosts
Takayama clenched his hands on the knife, letting the handle roll on the handle absorb the sweat from his palms, and was about to enter the haunted apartment, but Nanami Hashimoto grabbed her.
"Let Nana Sai explore the way first, don't rush in, this place is a haunted house no matter how you say it." Nanami Hashimoto's expression was a little serious.
Takayama Kazumi looked at the dark apartment in front of him, and then at Nanami Hashimoto, who had a serious face, nodded in understanding, and stood aside. Nana Hashimoto didn't see Takayama Ichimi standing aside, so he said to Nanase Nishino: "Nanasai, directly use the paper figure given by Qianya, I'm afraid it's useless for Wakaba-style gods." ”
Nishino Nanase nodded, and after biting his lip, he clamped the paper figure that had been pinching his hand with two fingers and put it in front of his eyes, while the other hand drew a seven-pointed star in front of him, and at the same time Nishino Nanase read in his mouth: "Yangming greedy wolf, ** giant gate, real person Lu Cun, Xuanming Wenqu, Danyuan Lianzhen, Arctic Wuqu, Tianguan Breaking Army!" The Lord of the Big Dipper is dead, and the Star God is summoned! After reading it, he threw the paper figure in his hand, which had begun to glow, into the apartment.
Nishino Nanase recited this mantra in Chinese, so no one except Qianye understood what she was chanting, and after Senya heard the spell used by Nishino Nanase, her eyes changed, but she quickly shook her head dumbly and said, "Nonsense." ”
Shile Tong on the side looked at Qianye with some confusion, and asked, "Qianye-san, what is Nishino talking about?" You just said nonsense? ”
With a smile on his face, Qianye pointed to the human form that had gradually formed in the monitor and said to Shiletong: "Miss Nishino just read a passage in Chinese, which means summoning the power of the star god of the Big Dipper to descend and use it as a god, which is already an extremely advanced technique in yin and yang techniques. It's not a spell that a beginner like Miss Nishino who has studied yin-yang for a few days can use, so that's why I said she was messing around. ”
"Huh? Wouldn't that be dangerous? I think this spell has worked, huh? Yuki Himura on the side stared at the monitor and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Chiya smiled and explained to them, "It's not dangerous because Miss Nishino used the paper figure I gave her. Originally, in order to make it easier for them to use, I had already infused spiritual power into the paper figures, and they only needed to trigger it. Now that Miss Nishino is using this spell, she is actually using the spiritual power I have poured into the paper figure to cast it, which means that I am casting this spell. So there won't be any danger, it's just that the power of the star god is a little too great. After saying that, Qianye couldn't help but shake her head.
Rina Ikoma, who was also watching the monitor on the side, heard Chiya say this, and asked curiously, "Chiya-san, isn't it good if it's too powerful?" ”
Qianye looked at the star god who had already appeared in the monitor, wearing a suit of Chinese-style armor and holding a halberd in his hand, and said, "If the power is too great, the natural destructive power will be strong." Originally, it was a problem that only an ordinary Shikigami could solve, but now that the star god is summoned, I'm afraid that the house will be demolished. Moreover, this Shikigami did not succeed in summoning. ”
"Huh?" The other members on the side suddenly exclaimed.
I saw that inside the monitor, a strong light suddenly bloomed in the haunted apartment, and then as if there had been an explosion, there was a "bang" sound, and Nanami Hashimoto and others who were standing at the door were almost knocked to the ground by the air flow rushing out of the door.
Shiraku hurriedly picked up the microphone on the side and asked Nanami Hashimoto and the others, "Hashimoto, what's going on over there?" Nishino! Mountains! Has anyone been hurt? ”
Hearing the voice of Shirakuto, Nanami Hashimoto hurriedly replied through the microphone on his body: "The Shikigami that Nanasai summoned just now seems to have exploded, and I don't know what's going on." Yes~! Nanami Hashimoto was talking when suddenly there was an exclamation.
The "Banana Man" and the members suddenly looked nervously into the monitor, only to see a big black cat the size of a calf, with two tails erected, neighing fiercely at the four people at the door. And next to the black cat, an old woman was stroking the black cat's head, and on the black cat's head, a huge wound penetrated the black cat's right eye, and black gas was bubbling out.
"It's a cat!" Nanase Nishino saw the two tails of the black cat and immediately exclaimed.
The old woman seemed to be alarmed by Nanase Nishino's exclamation, her eyes were gloomy towards the door, and when she saw the four girls and the caretaker on the side, she immediately cursed: "It's the one who came to bully me again!" It's all you! It's all your bullying for me! You're so cruel to hurt my Maosuke! As the old woman cursed loudly, two horns protruded from her hair on her forehead, and two canine teeth protruded from her mouth like fangs. Looking at the hideous-looking old woman, Nanami Hashimoto suddenly shouted, "Kazmi, stop her!" Nanasa, hurry up and summon a new Shikikami! This has become generated! At the same time, Nana Hashimoto pushed Mai Shiraishi, who was hiding behind her, and shouted to her: "Mai, leave first with the administrator!" ”
Mai Shiraishi was pushed aside by Nanami Hashimoto, and couldn't help asking, "Nanamin, what should you do?" ”
"We have to stop her! The black cat has also become a cat again! Nishino Nanase took out the paper man and the paper knife from his arms again, and while regretting that he had wasted a paper figure just now, he was also secretly glad that Nanami Hashimoto was cautious just now, otherwise he would be blocked in the room by two monsters, and it would be difficult to get out.
Nanase Nishino thought as he began to summon Shikigami again.
Nanami Hashimoto also took out the paper man and paper knife from his arms, and shouted to Mai Shiraishi on the side: "Mai like, go quickly, go and find a thousand nights!" At this time, Nana Hashimoto didn't care about anything else, and only hoped that Mai Shiraishi could hurry up and find Chiya, because she found that the resentment of the entire apartment building had begun to boil. Mai Shiraishi also knew that the situation was serious at this time, and she didn't dare to make a move, so she could only be dragged down by staying at this time, so she grabbed the caretaker on the side and ran towards the stairwell.
"Na-chan! What's going on? Takayama Kazumi stood at the door of the apartment with a knife, and while he was in full swing, he asked Nanase Nishino in confusion.
After Nanase Nishino turned the paper knife into a katana, he cut his fingers, smeared blood on the paper figure, and then threw it out while standing at Takayama Ichimi's side with the knife, and Nanami Hashimoto also leaned over, but the paper figure in his hand was not used.
"This old woman was so angry when she died that she had become a generation! This causes the soul of a person to leave his body while he is alive, and the soul can attack or even kill the monster of the person he hates. The state in which the soul can return to its body and regain its rationality is called 'generation', and when hatred takes over all the minds and it is impossible to regain reason, the person is transformed into a ghost, or 'prajna'. This old woman has now begun to turn into a Prajna, we must stop her, if she becomes a Prajna, everyone in this building will die! Nana Hashimoto explained quickly, while Nanase Nishino on the side was concentrating on summoning Shikigami and had no time to speak.
Nishino Nanase learned the lesson he had just learned this time, and although he used a blood spell, he summoned a Shikigami that he could control. This Shikigami was dressed in Japanese-style armor and had a long knife around his waist, but his hair was scattered, and the tips of his hair seemed to be dark red, as if he was about to drip blood. As soon as this samurai-dressed Shikigami was summoned, Nanami Hashimoto clearly felt the resentment around him gathering. The samurai-style god leaned down, holding the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other, and assumed a sword-drawing pose.
Although Nanami Hashimoto couldn't see the face of this samurai god clearly because of the direction, he felt that this samurai god was more dangerous than the two monsters in front of him. But at this moment, she was not allowed to think about it, and the old woman and the cat were already rushing towards them again.
"Nanasai, let your Shikigami block the cat! Kazmi, you come to stop the old woman, Nanasai and I will assist you! Let's stop this old woman from turning into a Prajna, her body is dead, and there is no chance to come to her senses! Nana Hashimoto held the katana turned into a paper knife, stared at the old woman in front of him with fierce eyes, and commanded Nishino Nanase and Takayama Ichimi.
"Know! It's on! Takayama didn't think much about it at this time, he clenched the katana in his hand and slashed at the old woman who was rushing towards him. And the samurai-style god summoned by Nishino Nanase also stopped the cat in an instant, and the battle was in a mess.
The old woman didn't seem to have any rules, only to rush towards the three people at the door. Nana Hashimoto didn't see this, and pushed Nanase Nishino, signaling her to block one side of the apartment door, while herself blocked the other side, and together with Takayama Ichimi, the three of them formed an encirclement that blocked the door, and blocked the old woman with the help of the apartment door.
Nishino Nanase didn't seem to look like a girl who hadn't learned kendo at this time, and her attacks were fierce in one move, even more than Takayama Kazumi. As for the cat in the apartment, it seems that it was the reason why it was injured by the self-explosion of the star god before, and it was impossible to break through the interception of the samurai-style god at all, and was almost forced into a corner.
And downstairs, the two "banana people" saw that the upstairs of the apartment had started, and hurriedly asked Qianye: "Chiba-san, what should I do now?" Do you want to go up and help? ”
"Not yet, they should be able to handle it." With a smile on her face, Qianye didn't seem to be worried about the safety of Nanami Hashimoto and the others: "This Shikigami summoned by Miss Nishino is not simple, with the spiritual power I poured into the paper figure as a support, he alone can deal with those two monsters." It was a great training for them. ”
Hearing Chiya say this, Shiraku Tong and Himura Yuki couldn't persuade anymore, so they could only look at the monitor in front of them with apprehension and worry with the other members.
But the situation seems to be as Qianye said, under the siege of the three of Hashimoto Nanawei, although the old woman's face is becoming more and more hideous, but there has been no way to break through the blockade of the three. Takayama Kazumi's solid kendo skills were brought into full play at this moment, firmly guarding Nanami Hashimoto and Nanase Nishino beside him, and almost withstood the most attacks. And Nanase Nishino and Nanami Hashimoto kept attacking the old woman with the katana in their hands, causing damage to her and preventing her from turning into a pranya.
Nana Hashimoto did not cause much damage to the old woman because she had not learned kendo, but she had been calmly commanding and coordinating the attack and cooperation of the three. Nanase Nishino, who was on the side, became the main attacker, and almost half of the damage was caused by her.
Seeing that the old woman could not break through the barrier of the door, the cat in the apartment who was cornered let out another terrible cry, completely ignoring the blade that the samurai god slashed at her, and forced her towards the door.
The samurai-style god and the cat passed by, and the katana in his hand cut a narrow wound on the side of the cat. But the cat finally passed through the interception of the samurai-style god and pounced on Nanase Nishino.
When the samurai god who turned around saw the cat pounce on Nishino Nanase again, he seemed to be enraged, and suddenly he roared, and his body seemed to burn with blood-red flames, and the katana in his hand also burned, and he slashed out towards the cat and the old woman, and a blood-red knife qi swung out, flying towards the old woman and the cat again.
The cat felt the knife qi flying behind him again, and almost without thinking, it blocked in front of the old woman, and was instantly penetrated by the knife qi. And the old woman completely ignored the blades stabbed by Takayama Kazumi and Nishino Nanase behind her, and turned around and hugged the cat.
Eventually, the katana in the hands of Takayama and Nishino Nanase penetrated the old woman's body, but the old woman also hugged the cat who blocked the samurai-style god's sword for herself and was almost cut off.
"False help!" The old woman seemed to have come to her senses a little, and called out the name of the cat with difficulty.
And the cat is like an ordinary pet cat at this time, sticking out its tongue to lick the old woman's cheek.
Nanase Nishino, who was standing on the side, stopped the samurai-style god who wanted to kill the cat and the old woman, and looked at them with some complicated eyes. Nanami Hashimoto didn't seem to want to do this either, she pressed the microphone on her body and asked Qianye, "Qianya-san, is there any way you can help them?" There was some sadness in his tone.
Qianye's face was a little relieved, nodded and said through the microphone: "Put the talismans on your bodies on the old woman and the cat." ”
Nana Hashimoto took out the talisman on her body according to her words, glanced at Nanase Nishino, and saw that she also took out the talisman, so he nodded at her, and the two of them pasted the talisman on the old woman and the cat together.
Seeing that the talisman was pasted, Qianye pointed to the sword, and read it on his lips: "The edict of the Taishang, the soul of Chao Ru." Get out of the sea of suffering and be reincarnated as an adult. When he finished reading, he pointed out.
As Qianye pointed out, the talisman attached to the old woman and the cat emitted a golden light, bright but not dazzling. Under the illumination of the light, the old woman and the cat emitted a large amount of black gas, but the old woman's expression became calm.
Eventually, the old woman changed back to her original form, and the cat became an ordinary black cat again. The old woman picked up the black cat and turned around, bowed to the three of Hashimoto Nanami and said, "I'm sorry, the old woman and Mao Suke have caused you trouble, please forgive me." After speaking, the old woman glanced at the three of them guiltily and at the same time looked at the house she had lived in for many years with some distress, and her body gradually became transparent.
"It's okay, old woman, you go all the way!" Nana Hashimoto hurriedly shouted at the old woman, waving her hand as she shouted.
When the old woman heard Nanami Hashimoto's words, she turned her head back with the black cat in her arms, showed a kind smile to Nanami Hashimoto, and waved her hand at them, and the black cat in the old woman's arms also meowed and waved its paws at the three of them, and in this way, it became more and more transparent with the old woman until it disappeared.
After the three of them sent the old woman away, they looked at each other and laughed with relief.
At this time, Mai Shiraishi also dragged the already panting administrator out of the stairwell, looked up and watched the resentment that hung over the apartment dissipate, and finally grew a mouthful, and fell to his knees.
However, at this time, no one noticed that the samurai-style god standing in the already messy apartment looked at Nanase Nishino with his eyes and the name muttered from his mouth.
