"Well, that's right."

Kiryu's answer was rather perfunctory, and his mind was mainly focused on finding information.

Mamiya Yuka didn't mind, and said to herself: "I've also experienced a lot of strange stories, such as going to the tunnel where there are rumors of ghosts to take psychic photos, and I've also experienced strange stories about classmates disappearing in front of me before, but the police didn't believe what I said... Since then, I've been researching investigative anecdotes, looking forward to one day proving what I've said. ”

"Psychic photo?"

Kiryu stopped, looked at Yuka Mamiya, and asked, "Is the psychic portrait a curse?" ”

He remembered Terumi Fujino's mental portrait.

"I haven't found any curses yet, if I'm really scared, I might just burn the photos." Mamiya became a little excited by Kiryu's questioning.

Kiryu just nodded, and then continued to study with his head down.

Mamiya found Kiryu holding a copy of "The Complete Book of Japanese Monsters", and asked curiously, "What are you investigating, junior Kiryu?" ”

Kiryu pondered for a moment and said, "I met a strange story, a monster that likes to devour ghosts. ”

"Ghosts?" Mamiya asked.

Unlike Chinese "ghosts", Japanese oni have a manifest appearance, and can be said to be a yokai with a concrete image.

The "ghost" is usually a tall figure with horns on his head, a tiger skin skirt on the lower body, and a large stick.

It is said that because the ghost gate is located in the direction of "ugly" and "yin", the ghost has the characteristics of a cow and a tiger.

It just so happened that Kiryu's translation of this "Encyclopedia of Japanese Monsters" happened to stop at the page of "ghosts", which was investigated by folklorists, and some of them also absorbed the image of the Buddhist "rakshasa".

He continued to flip through the books.

"It's not a ghost" Kiryu shook his head, "That's a very cute girl with a sweet smile." ”

"I always feel like you're talking about your crush" Mamiya looked at Kiryu with scrutinizing eyes.

"What I said is true!"

Kiryu said, "She said that she was a child born of humans and ghosts, and that feeding on spirits, approaching humans and eating the spirits behind people seemed to be her purpose. ”

"So, junior, you're being targeted?" Mamiya asked.

"Hmm"

Kiryu nodded, "I met her when I boarded that train of the dead, and she seems to be looking for me"

"Tooth white, tooth white, tooth white!" Mamiya exclaimed again and again.

Kiryu continued, "The worst thing is that she seems to be really human, so violence is not advisable. ”

This is also the regret in Kiryu's heart, and the sunken corpse in Tokyo Bay is the last choice...... Maybe.

"I'll help investigate!" Mamiya Yuka said solemnly.

If there is a college student who studies folklore to help out, he will definitely save a lot of effort.

Kiryu breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

"In exchange," Mamiya held up a finger, "Can you let me meet the woman who will eat the ghost?" ”

"Huh?"

"It's absolutely not going to work!" Kiryu shook his head: "That guy moves as agile as a beast, I can't protect you." ”

"Don't worry" Mamiya took out an electric shocker from his pocket, and when he pressed the switch, he could see an electric arc: "As a schoolgirl who often investigates strange stories, it makes sense to carry an electric shocker with you." ”

Just mentioned it, and after seeing that Kiryu really disagreed, Yuka Mamiya didn't mention the idea of seeing Misaki again.

With the help of Yuka Mamiya, the progress of the entire investigation was much faster for a while.

But it's just that the speed of flipping through the book is a little faster, and they don't actually have any information about dealing with Misaki.

By dark, Kiryu and Mamiya left the university by subway.

The place where the two live is about five kilometers apart, so it's quite a drop-off.

"I recently found a special house" Manomiya sat beside Kiryu, his legs swaying casually, as free as if he were sitting on the bow of a ship.

Kiryu looked at the palace, even though they had only just met, this woman definitely belonged to the bold "death" type.

"It's an apartment where someone died"

Mamiya continued, "I heard that a girl was followed by a man, and then the girl was brutally killed in the apartment. ”

She turned her head sideways, looked up at Kiryu slightly because of her height, and winked and smiled: "I rented that apartment, but I haven't moved in for the time being, because I haven't lived in it for too long, and the musty smell is very strong, so I can only open the window for a few days to smell before moving in." ”

"It's better not to stay." Kiryu shook his head and said, "There is indeed such a thing in this world. ”

The apartment of the dead person, even if there is a strange talk in it, most of it can't be a powerful existence.

Kiryu still insisted on his own concept, and if it was a strange talk that could kill people at will, he would definitely not engage in that kind of twisting and turning.

"Don't worry, if I'm in trouble, I'll call you as soon as possible!" Mamiya took out his phone and raised it towards Kiryu.

That means to ask for Kiryu's number.

Although he was asked for his mobile phone number by a girl, Kiryu was not happy at all, and he always felt that he was involved with a troublesome character who was no less than his "strange talk radar".

But the other party really helped today, and he was embarrassed to refuse.

When the subway arrived, Mamiya stood up.

"That's right," she suddenly stopped, "I heard that in the depths of the subway tunnel, there used to be a World War II armament depot, and there are many ghosts in it, so Kiryu-kun should be careful when taking the subway." ”

After finishing speaking, Yuka Mamiya didn't care about Kiryu's expression at all, and happily got off the train and left.

In the empty tram car, shuttling through the tunnel, Kiryu Assassin's mind was full of strange rumors, and he was once again sure in his heart that Yuka Mamiya was definitely a girl with bad tastes!.

Leave the subway and walk down a trail on your way home.

"Hey, you bastard, you'd better take it back!"

Kiryu stopped and noticed three people on the side of the road surrounding a strong student.

If it's not three to one, I'm afraid it's not necessarily who bullies whom.

"Hey, Mamoru Komoru" Kiryu shouted, "What are you three doing?" ”

It is the three of Komori Wenren, Amashi Yuto, and Kosagawa Daigo who are engaged in violent activities.

Hearing the shout, Xiao Shou, who was about to raise his fist to reason, stopped, turned around and looked at Kiryu with a surprised face: "It's Kiryu boss!" ”

Xiao Shou explained: "That, this guy is actually slandering the sister of that guy, and the three of us can't get used to it, so we have to take him over and fix it." ”

Kiryu secretly said in his heart: "Didn't you guys secretly watch Sister Mikami's work behind your back?" Anyway, I haven't given me the movie I promised to lend me before, so I don't want to keep it for myself! ”
