054 Laughing
Kamiyagawa clenched the [blood-stained wood knife] and walked forward.
The little old man didn't lead the way anymore, but climbed onto Kamiyagawa's shoulder.
"Abba woohoo!"
The 8-centimeter-tall little monster sat down proudly.
Kamiyagawa didn't pay much attention.
Let the little old man sit on his shoulder, and barely feel any weight anyway.
In front of the cliff, there is a jagged boulder.
Here, sitting, a woman.
The whimpering and sighing scattered in the wind were all made by her.
Wearing a purple-edged white sleeve long undergarment, his body is a little illusory and blurry, as if it will dissipate at any time.
The woman has a fair-skinned and arrogant face, and beautiful facial features. There was a lingering melancholy on this face, with a slight frown and lowered eyes.
This heavy melancholy expression added a different kind of beauty to her.
At the woman's side, two masks are quietly suspended, turning.
One big and one small.
The big one, with a frowning brow, deep sunken eye sockets, two strange horns on the top of the head, protruding eyes like copper bells, green fangs, hideous face, and a terrifying and strange smile.
The other small mask, only one-third the size of the smirking mask, is not so distinct in its own right.
White face, small red lips, no expression, very similar to the mask used in Noh dramas.
This is what the little old man discovered, a powerful monster hidden in the deep forest, seriously injured.
Kamiyagawa held the firewood knife and stood seven or eight meters away from the boulder.
Naturally, the masked monster also noticed the existence of the living early.
"Woo."
She whimpered softly, and the two masks, one large and one small, began to spin rapidly.
The smirking mask of the largest one quickly attached to her face.
The originally good-looking and gloomy face instantly became terrifying, with green fangs and a "woo" whimper in his mouth, which also turned into a "whimpering" laugh.
The mask seemed to grow on her face, embedded in the flesh and skin.
But that's about it.
Masked Monster did not take the initiative to attack Kamiyagawa.
She was so weak that it seemed like she would dissipate at any moment.
The man with the hatchet knife and the ghost wearing the mask faced off like this for dozens of seconds.
Both sides remained motionless.
The mountain wind blew, the trees in the forest swayed, and the twilight was heavy in the distance.
Buzzing.
At this time, Kamiyagawa's mobile phone finally vibrate.
[Encountering strange interviews and strange talks, laughing at the alien (alienated body).] ]
[The Atlas has been updated.] ]
[Strange Tale Name: Laughing Prajna (Alien Body)]
[Classification: E]
[Status: Strange Tales World]
[Visit Progress: 31%]
(Once the progress reaches 100%, the Strange Tale can travel freely between the real world and the strange tale world according to its own wishes.) )
The entry below the progress of the visit is the most common kind, [Public Opinion Acceleration].
"Prajna?"
Kamiyagawa glanced at his phone.
Pranya is a traditional Japanese tapo.
It is a kind of ghost born from a woman's strong resentment and jealousy, and has no physical existence, usually a beautiful woman with a mask.
There are many origin stories about Prajna, and the most popular one is this-
The protagonist of the story is an honest and gentle wife in the style of Yamato Nadeshiko, who takes care of housework and teaches her husband and children.
But this woman's life is not good, and she is not ladylike when she meets people.
Her man cheated after marriage and used trickery with his lover to force the woman to leave the house and seize the property left to her by her mother's family.
The lover forced the man to send the woman's child to the mountains, and finally died of starvation. When the woman learned of this, she was heartbroken and ran madly to the mountains, and no one saw her again.
Later, the man and his lover gave birth to a boy.
The little boy is very cute and always likes to squint and smile. One night, the man and his lover heard the laughter of a child next door in their sleep, and the louder they laughed, they got up and went to watch.
When the two of them pushed open the door next door, they saw only a terrifying sight, only to see a terrible ghost holding their child's head, constantly throwing it into the air, and laughing from its mouth.
The lover was frightened and fell to the ground screaming, unconscious.
Since then, the man has lost all his wealth, destitute, and stupid and crazy.
This vengeful ghost is the original woman after her death, her spirit is not extinguished, her resentment is not gone, and she is transformed into a prajna.
Because I have often communicated with the [Purple Above] boss on the forum recently, Kamiyagawa has made up a lot of weird knowledge, and he is no stranger to this kind of mask ghost.
According to the previous introduction of [Purple Above], there are three kinds of strange talks.
They are-
The weakest smiling face.
Laughing is the lowest type of Prajna, and it is not very aggressive. Snatching children's things, making pranks and crying children every day is her favorite thing to do.
But it doesn't hurt anyone.
The next level is the white-faced Prajna.
If the white is aggressive and more powerful, it will have a reason to seek revenge and kill.
The origin story of the prajna that Kamiyagawa saw on the Internet before is generally considered to be the incarnation of Shira-prajna.
Finally, there is the highest level of red-faced prajna.
If she is the most ferocious evil spirit of the three prajnas, she will kill people and eat people at will without reason or reason, and her methods will be extremely cruel.
The types of Prajna are easy to distinguish, just look at which type of mask she is carrying.
As for what Kamiyagawa is encountering now, it is the lowest level of laughter.
Green-faced fangs, the ugliest, but the weakest.
Kamiyagawa stared at the weak masked strange talk, his eyes wandering: "This smile is like an alien body." ”
He'd come across strange tales of alienation before.
It's the Xiqi boy with a firewood knife in his hand.
That chai knife JK is estimated to be about the same as a golden ordinary. More agile and stronger than the average headless high school student, there are as many as 10 soul crystals that burst out after death.
Kamiyagawa's equipment, [Blood-stained Wood Knife], also burst out of her.
If it weren't for the moldy dried fish that attracted the ama room, Kamiyagawa really couldn't handle the firewood knife JK.
"Is this embodiment of the alienation of the smile a second mask that you carry with you?" Kamiyagawa continued to look at the masked talk.
The latter was looked at uncomfortably by the eyes of the living, but he had no strength to resist.
can only "sneer" strange laughter, expressing protest and dissatisfaction.
Kamiya didn't pay much attention to the mask's strange reaction and continued to go his own way.
Normally, there will only be one mask for a prajna.
Smiling face, white face, and red face are only one of them.
But this one in front of her is not ordinary, and Xiao Nizi has two faces.
A formed smiling face, and a blind guess is a white mask that has not yet fully grown.
"I always feel like her white mask will grow again. If it did, what would it become? ”
Kamiyagawa gently pressed his upper teeth against his thumb knuckles, and moved his mind to make the alienated smile in front of him a god.
Although Xiao is E-class, it is an extremely special existence.
And in all fairness, at Kamiyagawa's current level of three punches and two feet, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to really want to contract a D-class strange story on his own.
For example, the one that wandered around in the woods, Kamiyagawa sent it directly when he met it.
Don't talk about subduing the other party and using it for your own use.
The seriously injured E-class alienation monster seems to be the first Shikigami who is currently the most suitable for a contract.
It's like picking it up for nothing!
"The 100 soul crystals you were given are worth it." Kamiyagawa said approvingly to the little old man.
