The side hall of the human-shaped temple is filled with dolls.

Tonight's ritual ritual is about to begin.

On the floor of the side hall, a magic circle was painted with cinnabar.

Kenji Masamome sat in the middle.

I don't know if it's because of the bathing and incense, but his improvement is much better than when he first came.

Master Ruhui and the three little monks of the human-shaped temple sat opposite each other in the four directions of the circle, almost one meter apart.

As for the two people who were pulled to suppress the formation, Kamiyagawa and Nagatomo Masao, under the signal of Xiao Shami, sat in two positions on the periphery of the magic circle, facing north and south.

The kimono doll containing the spirit of resentment was placed on the incense table, directly in front of the cinnabar circle.

Inside the side hall, the smell of sandalwood is very strong.

And the lights were dim.

The overall atmosphere is quiet and mysterious, with a strong sense of religion.

For example, the old monk holds a string of Buddhist beads of the same material in his left hand, and holds a brass Qibao lotus hand rattle in his right hand.

With his eyelids down, he began to recite the scriptures:

"Nan Wu Satan, Suga Doya, Agadodi, Samada and Sambodha wrote.

Satana, Buddha Samarium. ”

Every time a short paragraph is recited, the bell is ragged.

The remaining three little monks joined hands in agreement:

"There is no sapa in the south, and there is no saba in the south, and there is no saba in the south.

There is no Sadonan in the south, and there are three bodhisattvas, and they all know each other. ”

The monks of the human-shaped temple recite the Lengyan mantra.

In Buddhism, it is said that reciting this mantra can make the demons stay away and hide from the ghosts.

Kamiyagawa did not have any study of the mantras of the Shakyo family, and he did not understand Sanskrit at all, so he could only sit quietly in a daze.

The state of the little flat head is about the same as his.

The ritual went on for more than an hour.

According to the previous practice of Venerable Ruhui, it is estimated that the ceremony will last all night, and it is very likely that it will last all night.

But Kamiyagawa couldn't stand it anymore at this time.

Sitting here and pressing the formation, I can't do anything, I can't take out my mobile phone, I just sit down, it's really exhausting.

Kamiya felt bored, so he could only look at a few monks and Masamome Kenji in the circle from time to time, and then look at the many dolls and toys in the lattice cabinet on the wall.

Looking at it, he really found fun-

Hiss...... The bottom layer on the wall over there seems to be PG's Crimson Strike Gundam.

It seems that the current price is around 20,000 yen?

There is also a war-damaged android figure 18 on the left wall.

Looks pretty good.

I went straight to "Hi, wife." ”

Although she is accompanied by a living doll, Miss Mary, Kamiya doesn't have much research on dolls and dolls, and she knows a little about Gundam and figurines.

"I didn't feel anything at a cursory glance in the side hall before, but if you look closely, the four walls here are quite rich."

Kamiyagawa said with emotion in his heart.

After looking around, he moved his gaze back to the center of the side hall and landed on the incense table where the kimono doll was placed.

At this glance, I saw a little problem.

"That's not right. How do I feel the evil aura on the kimono doll that is a little heavier than when the ceremony began? Am I mistaken? ”

Kamiyagawa was suspicious.

However, several monks of the Human-shaped Temple turned as usual, and continued to recite the mantra in earnestness and reverence: "Sapa Medicine Fork. Drink and reveal, reveal the ......"

Ding——

A mantra, with the heavy Qibao lotus rattle, ringing.

The lights are dim, and the side hall filled with sandalwood still exudes solemnity and majesty.

This unwavering atmosphere gives people the feeling that everything is under control.

Seeing that the owner here didn't make any moves, Kamiya didn't show any fuss.

He just silently took out a [thunder intertwined coin] from his jacket pocket and sandwiched it between his fingers.

At the same time, I kept an extra eye and began to focus on the kimono doll on the incense case.

Another ten minutes passed.

Kamiyagawa saw with his own eyes that the evil aura on the kimono doll was a little stronger.

"Something is wrong......"

Although I don't understand the ritual exorcism of Buddhism.

But in the course of the ritual, the power of the evil became stronger and stronger, so what should have gone wrong?

Kamiyagawa pressed his hand on the [Mirage Cloth Bag].

Just as he was about to ask the director here, Master Ruhui, for something, he only saw the ends of the kimono doll's hair on the incense table suddenly squirm slightly.

Meanwhile.

Smack-

There was a crunch.

The string of Buddhist beads in the hand of the old Venerable Ruhui suddenly broke apart.

The jade beads crackled and rolled to the ground.

The old mage paused, his half-drooping eyelids opened in horror.

The sound of chanting in the side hall stopped, and at this time the doll on the incense table spoke. The simple, just a thin line of mouth weirdly closed one by one.

She began to sing, nursery rhymes in the voice of a little girl.

In the immature voice, there is an indescribable weirdness

。 Feel.

"Fence up, fence up,

O caged bird,

I want to come out all the time.

In the dark night of dawn,

The moment when the white crane and the turtle slip and fall.

Who's behind it? ”

After the singing of a section, different voices began to echo in the side hall: "Fence up, fence up, caged birds, want to come out all the time......"

The echoes varied, all coming from the lattice cabinets on the four walls.

I saw all the different dolls and dolls, many of them blinking vigorously and singing in different tones.

The dolls in the temple of the human shape have come to life.

Among all the people present, in the face of this sudden change, only Kamiyagawa was not flustered.

He looked around for a moment.

It was confirmed that there were about dozens of dolls and toys that were working with the kimono doll activity.

Many of them were singing as they stiffened down from the trellises.

"What is this? Toy Story? ”

Kamiyagawa complained unconsciously.

At the same time, with his rich experience in removing spirits, he roughly judged the strength of the evil aura emanating from the kimono doll in the haunting.

It feels like it's almost the same as the high-speed mother-in-law I met before.

That is, the level of E-class weirdness.

In addition, the strange visit catalogue of "Strange Tales of Things" has not been updated, and the kimono doll can be confirmed to be a spirit descent.

Except for the special flesh spirit descent, other forms of spirit descents are discounted in reality, so it is estimated that this doll should have the combat power level of D-level monsters in its heyday.

"If there is a real fight, it shouldn't be a problem for me and Mary to deal with it."

"In addition, this thing is a spirit descent, judging from the previous experience of stopping Hanako's spirit descending, forcibly destroying the attachment of the spirit descending monster will only send the strange talk back to the inner world."

"I might want to think about whether I should try to find an opportunity to directly attack the body of the kimono doll and kill it once and for all."

With the people in the entire side hall in a panic, Kamiyagawa calmly calculated in his heart, holding the melted coin between his fingers and ready to go, but there was no specific action for the time being.

The side hall of the Doll's Wonderful Night has been opened.

The kimono doll suddenly stopped singing.

It spoke in a childish voice: "I finally found a lot of friends today, let's play together?" ”

"Let's play!" "Let's play!" "Let's play!"

The dolls who climbed down from the lattice shelf looked a little blurred and hideous, and they all opened their mouths in response.

But their voices are innocent and cheerful.

The kimono doll stood up from the incense table, twisted her neck stiffly, and said to several living people at the scene: "Let's go together?" Come and play with the caged birds, you ghosts. If you both lose, you're going to be punished, right? ”

"To be punished!" "To be punished!" "To be punished!"

The other dolls continued to chim.

Wow!

At this time, the door of the side hall suddenly closed.

Xiao Pingtou, who was sitting closest to the door, finally reacted, quickly got up from the ground, and rushed over to push the door.

But before he could touch the door, he was bounced back by an invisible force and fell to the ground.

"Hiss, it hurts......"

Xiaoping grinned hoarsely with a headache, but it seemed to be fine, rubbing his sore buttocks, and quickly got up from the ground again.

Seeing this, the kimono doll just laughed, and laughed heartily in the voice of a young girl: "You can't run away." I said I wanted to play the game together, but I had to wait until the game was finished. ”

Then, the figures of the toys that came to life in the side hall became more and more blurred, turning into short phantoms that could not be seen clearly.

These writhing shadows joined hands and formed a large circle, enclosing all four monks in the side hall in the circle.

They laugh, they sing:

"Fence up, fence up,

O caged bird,

I want to come out all the time.

In the dark night of dawn,

The moment when the white crane and the turtle slip and fall.

Who's behind it? ”

"Who is it?" "Who is it?" "Who is it?"

"Who's standing behind you now?"

The phantoms of the dolls paused, asking questions to several of the monks of the Humanoid Temple.

"Vajala, make and drink Naasha, Mahara, and have a lot of quality......"

None of the monks replied, and they all continued to recite the mantra aloud.

The three boys, the little novices, all had their eyes closed, and cold sweat was hanging on their tops.

They had never seen such a formation before, and fear was certain.

However, spells that are not fully blessed with spiritual power have a limited impact on kimono dolls who have already begun to make trouble.

Instead of stopping its behavior, it annoyed it a little.

Kimono Doll: "It's so noisy! I don't like it! It's noisy! ”

"It's noisy!" "It's noisy!" "It's noisy!"

Kimono Doll: "If you don't answer, you're losing, punishment!" ”

"Punishment!

。 "Punishment!" "Punishment!"

The shadows of the dolls spun again.

They laugh happily and innocently.

Among them, a voice said: "My master gouged out my eyes with a knife. So old monk, when you all lose, I'll gouge out your eyes! Hee-hee. ”

Another voice said, "My master sawed off my left leg." So little monk, when you all lose, I'll amputate your left leg! Hee-hee. ”

"My master threw me down from the third floor......"

"My host put me on the road and let the car run over ......"

The dolls quickly laid out the content of the punishment for the four monks of the Humanoid Temple.

These toys that woke up at the call of the kimono doll seem to have a lot of resentment.

Jingle Bell – Jingle Bell -

Old Master Ruhui, who is trying to preside over the overall situation, is still ringing the bell vigorously and reciting scriptures, trying to exert the power of the lengyan mantra as much as possible without being affected by the toys.

And on his originally kind and solemn face, there was only fear and remorse at the moment.

The old mage is actually a very pragmatic person.

He really knew that the Humanoid Temple he presided over was a very ordinary temple, and all he could deal with was the strange talk that was not too offensive.

Like a doll that cries in the middle of the night, a doll that runs and jumps in the middle of the night.

And the reason why he quickly agreed to the commission of the Masamu couple was only because the old mage originally thought that this resentful spirit was just a doll that could sing in the middle of the night.

Theoretically, that's right.

After all, Kenji Masamome has been picking up the kimono doll home for a week.

But he didn't suffer any real harm other than being harassed and frightened by the sound of the doll's song every night.

According to experience, this singing doll should be no different from the previous ones.

With the power of the humanoid temple, it can be exceeded.

But there are always surprises, and sometimes theory and experience can go wrong.

This doll was an accident.

The strange and evil spirits hidden in it are different on the surface, and their grievances are completely beyond the scope of the old mage's expectations and excesses.

"Fan Duosha, Tadeva, make up for the ......" Venerable Ruhui continued to ring the bell and chant, and it seemed that all he could do now was chanting.

In the side hall, the dolls began to sing the song "Caged Bird" again.

There are also Kamiyagawa, Nagatomo Masao, and Masamo Kenji who have not "played games".

The kimono doll should have been planned to wait for all seven living people on the scene to lose, as it was said at the beginning, and then start punishing them in unison.

The illusory and twisted figures of the dolls held hands, this time enclosing the main eyes in the center of the ritual array.

Only the unlucky man was surrounded.

"Who's standing behind you now?"

The dolls asked questions in unison in the tone of that game again.

At this time, Kenji Masamome was already scared to cry.

Shouldn't it be like this?

Why did the kimono doll become even more terrifying after being sent to Ningyoji Temple than when it was at home?

When I'm at home, I just sing.

Now he talks to himself about playing games.

And just the punishment for losing the four games I just heard, the light ones will make people disabled, and the heavy ones will directly kill people.

Masamome Kenji sobbed and hesitated, but the dolls were impatient.

If you don't guess, you will be regarded as losing the caged bird game, just like the monks of the Human-shaped Temple.

So, Xiao Pingtou Changyou hurriedly shouted to his friends in the circle: "Guess, Xianji." Just guess one! ”

"Whew-" Probably the bond of friendship really has some indescribable power, Masamome Kenji quickly adjusted his state, "It's a doll, I guess it's a kimono doll!" ”

"Oh?"

The spinning toy phantoms stopped.

Directly behind Kenji Masaki, a voice came out: "I guessed right." ”

"That'...... Saved? ”

Masamo and Nagayou breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.

"Oh?"

Kamiyagawa was the only one who frowned slightly in surprise.

It used to seem to say that punishment would only be imposed if all the living people present lost the game.

Then if someone guesses correctly, it seems to mean that the punishment is lifted.

"But ah, what a kimono doll. I don't call it that, I have a name. My favorite host, but he gave me a name. The voice of the kimono doll once again came out of the virtual circle, "The name is Xiao Yu." ”

"It's the wrong name!" "It's the wrong name!" "It's the wrong name!"

A kimono doll who calls herself Xiao Yu: "Then what to do?" ”

"Count him out!" "Count him out!" "Count him out!"

Xiao Yu: "Hehe, then Zhengmu Xianji, you lost." Punishment, I think about it...... You know? My favorite owner cut my skull. In return, I later ripped his skull open. When you're all lost, I'll take yours too, right? ”
