050 Tsukasa Kurihara's conjecture
Tsukasa Kurihara returned to his room.
The window that was broken by Akane blew cold wind in one after another, just facing Tsukasa Kurihara, who was sitting at the table and contemplating, blowing his hair to create a lonely temperament.
As soon as the hairball entered the door, it destroyed this mood: "My lord, what is that food called?" I really didn't expect humans to have such a delicious taste! ”
"It's called chicken feet." Tsukasa Kurihara replied, and the pen in his hand stopped.
At this time, he found that something was written on the paper in front of him, and although he was curious, the furball restrained himself from looking at the words on the paper.
Seeing the curious and restrained appearance of the hairball, Tsukasa Kurihara scolded it with a smile: "Look at your appearance." ”
"Hey, hey." Furball laughed embarrassedly, "Didn't you get your consent, my lord?" ”
"Give." Tsukasa Kurihara handed over the paper, and the ball of the hairball stepped forward, and found that he couldn't read it - what Tsukasa Kurihara wrote was all Chinese characters, or simplified Chinese characters of the Chinese, and the neon monster talked about the hairball a little incomprehensible.
I only recognized the words Hi-eda, Inari, and Nezu on the paper. There are also Onmyoji, Abe Harumi, Fox and so on. As for other words that don't appear in Japanese, it doesn't understand.
"My lord, these are the names of the shrines." The hairball pointed to the first three words and said.
"Hmm." Tsukasa Kurihara affirmed, "As far as the matter of Ash Chun is concerned, there are these three shrines that have reacted on the surface. I think there's more shrines secretly on the lookout. ”
"That's for sure, sir." Maoqiu said as a matter of course, "It's not normal for these shrines to pay attention to such a big movement." This can only mean that there is no one in their family, and the inheritance of strange stories has been broken, so they will be indifferent to it. ”
“·······” Tsukasa Kurihara felt like he was the stupidest of all.
Seeing the full eyesight, the hairball immediately reacted that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed his words: "No, I didn't expect the shrine to notice us so quickly." ”
Tsukasa Kurihara took a deep breath: "You go on, about the shrine and the strange talk." ”
Furball looked at Tsukasa Kurihara's expression and made sure he wasn't angry before continuing, "As far as I know, it's been almost a hundred years since there has been such a big movement. All the weird talk was taken away, and most of the people who stayed behind were little minions like me who didn't have much offensive power, and they couldn't make a splash. Now that Ash Chun is directly targeting thousands of people at a time, it is still in broad daylight, and the movement is also large, and it is normal for the shrine to react. But Gray is really handsome. After this incident, I can feel that the air is less oppressive on me. Sure enough, there must be real events before human beings remember that there are strange stories in the world. ”
"What role does the Onmyoji play in this?" Tsukasa Kurihara asked.
"Onmyoji, to us it's like monks, priests, and some folk supernatural people, but they didn't kill us at the time." Maoqiu said, "The strange thing is that after the construction of the Strange Tale Prison, I rarely saw the Onmyoji. ”
"The strange talk is gone, why do you want an onmyoji to do it." Tsukasa Kurihara thought of the key point and explained the truth in one sentence. The style god of the onmyoji is converted from strange talks, and this wave of wages is drawn from the bottom of the kettle, which directly cuts off the foundation of the onmyoji's existence, and if there is no strange talk, there will naturally be no onmyoji. I think that Abe's ability to shine at the beginning was also because of the night walk of a hundred ghosts in the Heian period.
Tsukasa Kurihara continued to reason: "Onmyoji shouldn't want to cause this strange talk prison, there must be something that prompted them to join forces with temples and shrines. The social environment at that time? Or some other agreement. And now the resurgence of strange talk will also have something to do with them? ”
After Tsukasa Kurihara reminded him, Maoqiu also thought of it: "That's what I said." ”
At the moment, what Tsukasa Kurihara wants to figure out most is what is the relationship between himself and the Onmyoji. He's weird, yes, but he has a human soul. Could his coming here from where he came from where he came have anything to do with this group of onmyoji who have almost disappeared? After meeting the people at the shrine, they almost subconsciously saw him as an onmyoji, and his strange identity was perfectly hidden, and he accepted this identity with him.
In human society, Onmyoji is just a little weird, but weirdness is a real outlier. And Tsukasa Kurihara chose to acquiesce to being mistaken for an onmyoji, partly because he didn't want to be exposed too early in the eyes of these forces who opposed him, and on the other hand, he recognized his own human identity.
But the presence of Furball and Gray Pure reminds him all the time that he is different from others.
He was regarded as a demon lord by Nishijima, a god in the Strange Talk Prison, a priest at first sight by Maoqiu, and finally installed as an onmyoji. Calming down and thinking about these identities made him a little confused, and he couldn't figure out who he really was.
All the clues are tangled up and turned into balls of yarn that are scattered by the cat.
And Tsukasa Kurihara couldn't find the thread at all, and the god he said before was just an idea of his identity at the time. And now, under the overlap of identities many times, he is almost unable to figure out what he wants to do.
Helping Anda did give him more power in his mind, but subduing the furball and Ash Chun also brought similar power.
Tsukasa Kurihara's hand on the table tapped lightly, his brow furrowed.
"Your Excellency?" The furball croaked cautiously.
I can't figure it out, I really can't figure it out.
Tsukasa Kurihara slapped one hand on the table, the hairball trembled, and the same move was made by Tsukasa Kurihara's Modao and blanket on the table.
Blankets? Merchant! Tsukasa Kurihara's mind immediately thought of that person, and the businessman's face that wanted to cry without tears at the end.
Tsukasa Kurihara had a flash of inspiration in his head, and suddenly found something similar to the thread in a field of wool. He took the blanket to his eyes and pulled out the letter and seal that had been placed in it. Not to mention the divination book for the time being, these letters and seals, as well as the business card box mentioned earlier. There are signs that the businessman is able to return to real life, and his envelopes and seals are more like the stuff used by managers.
Tsukasa Kurihara has a conjecture: the merchant is an onmyoji, and his status is not low. Onmyoji is the jailer of the Strange Tale Prison, and the likes of Kishijiro are just the thugs of the Onmyoji who stay in the Strange Tale Prison. Onmyoji buys them off by something to maintain the governance of remote villages. This would explain why the merchant is able to walk freely between the Strange Tale Prison and the real world, which is not so capable. It can also explain the vast strange talk about how prisons are governed. Treating strange talk with strange talk, Gray Chun also shows that this is exactly what Onmyoji is good at.
Since the construction of the Strange Tales Prison, the Onmyoji has been left in the Strange Tales Prison as a jailer and along with the Strange Tales. So why do Onmyoji disappear in real life.
And if he himself is a strange talk, he was released by the Onmyoji through the back door, and did some tricks like blinding······
Everything makes sense.
