Tsukasa Kurihara's sudden inquiry stunned Nishijima, and then began to explain: "Ah, I saw it from a book, and I don't know the specifics very well, but I just learned a little about ······."

"Just say it." Tsukasa Kurihara interrupts Nishijima's habitual prevarication, which is in a way a common trait of neon people.

He took two chairs and motioned for Nishijima to sit down, and he sat down himself, the same height as Kiritaro. The three of them, to be precise, were talking about two strange things, forming a circle, and inexplicably creating an atmosphere of late-night talk. It reminded Nishijima of a school trip after graduating from high school five years ago.

At that time, she had already decided to go on to study in Tokyo, which was different from most of her friends. More people are choosing to stay locally.

Except for Reiko Maeda. Reiko's grades were not as good as Nishijima's, and after graduating from high school, she came to Tokyo for a short college and has been working for two or three years now.

Reiko is Nishijima's best friend for three years in high school, and although the two have different personalities, their brain circuits are on the same channel. One is lively and the other is quiet, and the two who seem to outsiders to be very incompatible can unexpectedly be able to play together. Few people know that Nishijima is similar in nature to Reiko, who can organize a campus test meeting.

When they first went to Beijing, the two played very well, but because the schools were different and Reiko's short study time was shorter than that of Nishijima, the two had to go their separate ways as the years passed. Later, Reiko got a boyfriend, and it was even more difficult for the two to get together. But there is such a person in the other party's heart, and they can return to the state of friends as long as they contact each other.

At this time, Nishijima remembered Reiko, and when they were on a school trip, they had a good time together and told horror stories on a big night, and strange stories were of course an indispensable part.

Reiko would never have thought that I would say strange things in front of strange talkers····· Nishijima's head was full of thoughts, and after a short period of organizing the language, he began to speak:

"The book says that on a foggy day in Tokyo winter, a child appears in a foggy place. No matter how you try to get around, you will end up in front of the child, because the road to the destination is behind the child. ”

"When you realize this, the child will ask you the question, 'Do you know where Kiritaro is?' If the answer is not known, the child will say, 'Then you can come with me to find him,' and he will disappear into the fog and become a missing person. If he knows, the child will ask where Kitaro is, and he will give three choices, and he needs to choose the correct answer. ”

"But all three choices are wrong, because the correct answer is that this kid is Kitaro. Whichever one you choose, you will become a missing person. If you are keenly aware that the correct answer is right in front of you and say it, it is certainly impossible to escape. Kiritaro would say, 'You're such a smart person, so let's play with Kiritaro and me.'" ”

"So no matter what it is, the end result is to become a missing person." Nishijima finally finished the whole story, "This is the story of the disappeared Kiritaro." ”

After saying that, she swallowed her saliva and waited for Tsukasa Kurihara's evaluation. But the other party just nodded, and got recognition from Kitaro who turned into a stickman.

Although Kiritaro only had matchsticks, he raised his hand as if giving a thumbs up.

Nishijima was poked and laughed and almost laughed out loud again, and hurriedly sat down and told himself to be serious, and this one in front of him is Kiritaro who will "make people disappear", strange talk, will kill people!

Thinking like this, Nishijima calmed down.

Tsukasa Kurihara, who listened to the synopsis of the whole story, had his own calculations in his heart. He called Nishijima to illustrate the story, of course, not sympathy for Kitaro or pure curiosity. The existence of the strange story is inextricably linked to the story it circulated, but it is difficult for ordinary people to perceive this, and Tsukasa Kurihara is not a human being, and he quickly found the key point from the story.

The conditions of Kiritaro's existence are winter, fog, and interaction with humans. Strange talk can't appear for no reason.,Tsukasa Kurihara himself happened because of Nishijima.。

Nowadays, the only condition that can satisfy the appearance of Kirataro is winter.

So why did he appear?

And before he sent out a distress signal. How can I save it? What is the ability of Tsukasa Kurihara to save? Why can he be saved? What happens after being saved?

Countless thoughts swirled through Kurihara's mind, and in just a split second he thought so much and was ready to give a hypothetical answer.

Tsukasa Kurihara has always had such an ability to peel back the cocoon, and finding motivation is something that he naturally considers as a director. Everything happens for a reason, everyone has a motive for his actions, and there is no such thing as appearing out of thin air.

Even strange stories have to meet such rules, which is something that Tsukasa Kurihara has verified with himself as an experimental subject in the past week, but the sample is too small for him to generalize.

Although there is no way to verify it, it can only be judged by such logic for the time being. Boldly assuming a careful test, Tsukasa Kurihara looked at Kiritaro.

Feeling the Demon Lord's gaze, Kiritaro put back the matchstick hand that he had praised Nishijima, and stood upright, like an elementary school student being inspected by a teacher.

"Kiritaro."

Kiritaro nodded.

"I've figured out what I'm going to talk to you about."

Kiritaro stretched out his hand, and this time, Tsukasa Kurihara put his hand up.

The moment Tsukasa Kurihara came into contact with Kitaro, a vague connection was established between the two, and in the past few seconds, that connection became clearer and clearer. This also made Tsukasa Kurihara feel the whole thought of Kiritaro.

It's an amazing feeling.

But it was only a momentary feeling, and the complete contact quickly disappeared, and in the end, Tsukasa Kurihara could only feel a transparent thread between himself and Kiritaro.

Kiritaro took his hand back and relied on the thread to communicate with Tsukasa Kurihara. He said, "Lord Demon."

After a moment's pause, Tsukasa Kurihara asked his own question: You shouldn't be in this situation now. Although it was winter, there was no fog and it was crowded with people. As a strange story, it is also necessary to pay attention to the Basic Law.

In the face of Tsukasa Kurihara's inquiry, Kiritaro gave answers one by one.

Yes, Lord Lord. I'm not as casual as you are. I need the help of the environment, especially now that fewer and fewer people believe in strange things.

But I don't know what was going on, and when I woke up I found myself possessed by a man.

I wanted to leave, but I couldn't, I was imprisoned.

Someone wanted me to kill him, I could feel it, and as time went by, my consciousness became more and more blurred. In the end, all that's left is a timer-like thing.

Kill, then flee.

You know, if we don't follow the rules, the onmyoji of the human race or whatever, will come and destroy us.

Then I met you.

In fact, the other half of me is still with that man.

It may be about to start.

Please, help me, I don't want to die.
