Chapter 43: The Fox's Dried Corpse
There are really people in this world who have mastered mysterious powers.
Kiryu looked at the monk in surprise.
Of course, he didn't have the idea of following the monk's chanting, but he was more interested in the report he got from Kirizaki Mizuaki, and maybe it also recorded the power of a folklorist to deal with strange tales.
"After you and Matsuzaki left, the three of us sensed that something was wrong"
The monk and Kiryu held their mobile phones to light up the front and told their experiences: "There was a strange power coming from the old school building, but when we arrived at the old school building, we were unexpectedly separated, and I tried to get out, but I found that I couldn't leave the old school building, and even my mobile phone had no way to contact the outside world, as if I was ......hidden by the gods, and just now I heard someone's footsteps, and I came to meet you." ”
He is also a little curious about Kiryu, as an assistant that "old friend" Mizuaki Kirisaki trusts very much, and the monk has also heard Mizuaki Kirisaki tell about Kiryu's first-class things.
It seems to be a high school student with a supernatural physique, and he will always be attracted by various supernatural events.
Supernatural physique is not uncommon, and what really makes Kirizaki Mizuaki appreciate is that the other party has a "folklore" thinking, and he is a young man who is not superstitious, but believes in folklore.
It's said to be very good at dealing with strange stories.
The monk asked curiously, "How did you get here, and the people of Matsuzaki?" ”
"We contacted Mr. Kirizaki on the way back from buying the bento, but the phone didn't answer, so I guess it could be Kamiku."
Only through a phone call, I dared to be sure that something had happened to me and others, and sure enough, he was a young man with "folklore" thinking, and the monk nodded secretly.
"I got separated from Miss Matsuzaki, and I don't know when she was replaced by a weird doll."
The "puppet" monk said: "Unable to become a Buddha, the soul that survives in this world will often look for a place to stay because of the obsession in the heart, such as dolls, dolls and other human-like things, which may attract the presence of ghosts." ”
Like, Annabelle?
After listening to Kiryu's first-class conjecture, the monk and Kiryu went to the sewing classroom of the old school building together, although the road was pitch black, but there was a monk as a "master", Kiryu first-class was also a little relieved.
When he arrived at the sewing class, the monk stood at the door holding the beads in his hand, waiting for him, while Kiryu grabbed the doorknob and slammed the door open.
Two white figures flickered by.
Kiryu could vaguely tell that it seemed to be two medical staff carrying a stretcher, but there was nothing on the stretcher.
"It's the ghost obsession that remains here," the monk explained, "they just keep repeating what they did in their lifetime, they are unconscious, they can't escape, and it seems that there is really a special force that binds them." ”
Kiryu nodded, he was not a professional exorcist, and when the monk talked about strange things, he only had to be responsible for nodding.
The sewing class is not small, and it is full of messy puppet models, dusty fabrics, and so on.
"Here!"
The monk pointed at a wall and said, "I feel something in the back. ”
"Hey, what are you doing?"
The monk who had just finished speaking found that Kiryu was first-class and actually picked up the chair on the side, picked it up and smashed the wall.
Is this "strange talk radar" so violent?
The walls are simply filled with corrugated paper and pasted with wallpaper, and the chairs can easily penetrate the walls.
There was a hole behind the wall.
The two bent down into it.
Kiryu used his mobile phone to illuminate it, and there were old bandages on the floor, and some scattered brown-yellow glass medicine bottles, but because of their age, the handwriting on the medicine bottles was no longer legible.
"The headmaster said that the school was used to house the wounded during wartime, and this should have been a room for the wounded," Kiryu said.
"That's right"
The two searched and found a diary in the corner, opened the diary, and there was a photo in it.
It's a picture of a nurse holding a fox.
Kiryu just glanced at the photograph twice, then took it away and read the contents of the diary.
"March 15, 1945"
"The planes overhead brought disaster, the continuous artillery fire swept through Tokyo, and I heard wails, pain, God, what did we do wrong."
"It's the bombing of Tokyo" monk was a little surprised.
"Hmm" Kiryu nodded, continuing to flip through the diary.
"March 17, 1945"
"My team was tasked with transferring and treating the wounded, they are all heroes of the Empire, although 80,000 people died and 100,000 were seriously injured two days ago, but there is not enough medicine and supplies."
"March 20, 1945"
"It may have been the sound of the bombardment that scared the small animals in the mountain forest, I met a cute fox who was injured and badly injured...... I can't bear to see it die like this, there are still a lot of medicines, maybe I can use a little on it? New medicines will be delivered soon. ”
“……”
"March 28, 1945"
"The fox is gradually getting back to health, and we have a good relationship."
April 3, 1945
"The medicine has not been delivered, but there are more and more wounded, I am a little worried, but having it by my side comforts me."
April 5, 1945
"The captain found that it was missing when he counted the medicines, and they quickly determined that I had embezzled the monster, and even though I saved the fox with a good heart, no one could save me."
“……”
This concludes the diary.
The monk sighed: "It seems to be the story of the fox's revenge." ”
The nurse who misappropriated the medicine ended up in an unknown way, but it certainly wouldn't be too good, and the fox who was accidentally revived might not escape death.
"Top-notch!"
The voice came from behind him, and Kiryu turned around to find Mizuaki Kirisaki standing with the priest.
The priest was holding a box in his hand, and when the two of them approached, they realized that it was the dried corpse of a fox.
A folklorist, a priest, it seems that they also did a lot after they were separated.
"We found this thing, maybe this is the corpse of the fox fairy"
"It should be." The monk nodded: "We found a diary." ”
After a brief exchange of information between the two sides, the body of the fox fairy was handed over to the monk.
Only the monk is most suitable for the dried corpse of the fox to solve all this.
The monk began to chant the sutra in front of the fox's dried corpse.
Kiryu and the others prepared braziers as instructed by the monk and found some books that could be easily lit.
After a few minutes, the monk opened his eyes.
He threw the dried fox into the brazier, and as the flames burned, everything dissipated.
Kiryu looked out the window.
The moon stars are scarce, and the street lights in the middle of the campus are lit.
Even the voice of the summer insect has a rhythmic call.
The moonlight shone through the windows into the classroom, driving away the darkness that blinded the eyes.
"It's really over."
The four of them left together, and when they went downstairs, they saw a witch with the word "dog" written on the back, and they were scratching their heads suspiciously: "Why am I here?" ”
"Could it be ......," she exclaimed, and said in the nervous gaze of the four people, "It's the ghost of the earth spirit!" ”
The four ......of them were speechless.
"The commission is over." The monk couldn't help but say.
"It's over? I haven't made a big show yet! ”
