Dirt taste.

In the middle of the night, when everyone is sleeping, there is a monster who sneaks into the bathroom from nowhere.

It is said that this youkai loves to lick and eat the dirt of people after bathing.

The dirtier the bathroom, the happier it will be.

But the places that have been licked by it will not become clean, but will become more and more dirty, and they will not be washed off, forming annoying stubborn dirt.

Kamiyagawa first looked at the big fluffy mouse in front of him with a panicked look, and thought:

"Dirt taste...... I remember it as a youkai who loves to lick dirt. ”

"But this dirt taste, it seems to be the opposite of the 'dirt taste backstory' I know, right?"

Arakawa Ichito's dirt taste built here, and there is no such monster's iconic big tongue.

Judging by the way it introduces itself, it seems that it prefers to use the thick square towel around its neck as a rag to clean up.

And judging by the cleanliness of the house, this dirt taste does not make the house dirtier and dirtier.

It's really being cleaned in earnest.

"Maybe this little guy was born from some folk tale I haven't read. It could also be an alien. ”

"By the way, can the dirt taste grow like this? Hairy big rat ......"

According to Kamiyagawa's current experience, the same kind of strange talk, the differences between different individuals, sometimes quite large.

A monster like Dirty, when Kamiyagawa used to chat with Yusei True Kenyu, he heard him mention an anecdote within the organization-

It is said that there is a young soul slayer in the official organization, and when he was doing the task of removing spirits, he also encountered a very peculiar dirt taste.

The dirt was not in the form of a big mouse, but a weak girl with a long pink tongue.

In a sense, the dirt taste encountered by the young soul slayer looked more like a monster lady.

The wet tongue is completely spit out and spreads out and can hang down to the navel.

Likes to lick and lick everywhere.

The young soul slayer did not heal the dirt he encountered.

And for a long time later, he begged Uncle Cheng to teach him a one-and-a-half-trick Hehuan Spiritual Technique......

"Why did I encounter a big rat?"

But on second thought, it's not impossible to use big rats.

If only there was a beautiful girl with a long pink slippery tongue who licked around the house every day......

It feels weird.

"Anyway, we have to keep this big clean-loving rat dirt. When you really move into such a big house, cleaning is a big problem. Although Pranya is also good at housekeeping, she has done a lot. ”

Thinking about something related to the dirt taste in his heart, Kamiyagawa turned his attention to Hiyobo again.

Sunny Place.

Legend has it that it is the funeral god of the old sunny day doll.

In Japan, the word "fang" means monk or monk.

Therefore, the literal meaning of the monster of Rihebo should be "Sun Monk".

In the folklore stories corresponding to the Japanese and Fang, this kind of strange story does exist in the image of a monk most of the time.

"But how is this one I met a thumbelina? And the level of wisdom is still very high. Alienated? Oh...... She said that it was okay to call her Sweeping Niang. ”

Sweeping Qing Niang is a part of China, the folk pray that the rain stops and the sky is sunny when the woman image of the woman hanging under the eaves of the paper-cut statue.

Japan's sunny day dolls are generally believed to have evolved slowly after the image of "Sweeping Sunny Niang" was introduced.

"Rihefang has a relationship with the sunny day doll, and the sunny day doll has a relationship with the sweeping lady. If she's alienated in this direction...... It seems understandable to become a girl. Kamiyagawa speculated in his heart.

In addition, judging from the current situation, the two little strange stories found in a household building, the dirt taste and the day and the fang, are all spiritual descendants.

It can be seen that the spirit of the dirt is a small wooden basin above its head.

And the spiritual descent of the Sun and Fang is naturally the sunny day doll she is carrying.

……

"Dirt taste and sweep the girl. I've seen it, the dirt will clean this house, so what will you do? ”

Kamiyagawa was silent for about half a minute after listening to Hihebo's self-introduction, thinking about a lot of information related to the two strange talks in front of him, and finally spoke.

And in the short 30 seconds of his silence, it was as difficult as torture for Dirt Taste and Rihefang.

"I'm ...... You can stop the rain and pray for sunshine. Because he was named, Rihefang tried to stop his tears, and hurriedly began to market himself and introduce his own advantages:

"It also makes the house dry and warm. During the rainy season, as long as I stay at home, I don't let things in my house get moldy. I'm very competent......"

"Well, indeed. You're both quite capable. Okay, don't cry, I didn't say I'm going to kill you. ”

Kamiyagawa gently clubbed the unsheathed character on the ground with one hand and nodded.

The two strange stories that I caught tonight are both home-based tool weird talks.

"From now on, you can continue to live in this house and get along well with my family and friends."

"Don't run out if there's nothing to do, both of you are too weak. It's dangerous outside, and if you encounter any aggressive weird or irascible soul slayers, you'll be eaten or cured casually. Stay with the people on my side, they'll cover the two of you and keep you safe. ”

Kamiyagawa added.

He really didn't have the idea of curing the dirt taste with the sun and the fang.

These two spirit drops are not aggressive, they are not harmful, and they also have their own abilities, so it is good to keep them at home.

"Do you say protect us......

Rihefang swallowed his saliva carefully, looking at the strange and vicious strange talk and the human leader in this room, his expression was somewhat panicked, but he didn't dare to say anything.

Kamiyagawa put a text in his hand on his lap, and suddenly seemed to think of something: "That's right, Sao Qingniang." ”

"I'm, I'm here! Kamiya-sama, you say! ”

Rihefang nervously lowered his hands and bowed his head in response.

"I just wanted to ask. You say you'll stop the rain and pray for sunshine, but I understand that as the ability to influence the weather. Since it can affect the weather, will you pray for rain in turn? ”

"Huh?"

Kamiyagawa's question made Hihebo a little confused, and the sunny day doll she was carrying on her back lowered half of her body and tilted her head.

It is indeed difficult for some strong people to let the little monster incarnated by the sunny day doll rebel against their nature and beg for rain.

"It doesn't look like so."

Kamiyagawa wasn't too persistent either, shrugging his shoulders.

But Rihefang probably wanted to prove his worth, so he hurriedly added in a whisper: "...... I can learn. I feel like if there is something to help me with, maybe I can learn. ”

By "something", she probably meant a strange relic talk.

Hiwabo is a yokai that prays for good weather, and in traditional Japanese yokai legends, there are still some yokai who have the ability to pray for rain.

For example, the rain girl and the rain monk.

Praying for sunshine or praying for rain is the ability of the weather system, and if you can really get the strange relic of praying for rain monsters, Rihefang may really have the possibility of absorbing and merging and learning the ability to pray for rain.

"Oh, okay."

Kamiyagawa remained silent, but he wrote down this sentence of Hihebo in his heart.

I thought I would take the time to go to the official "warehouse" to see if there were any such relics available for exchange.

In the future, if you can successfully raise the day and the fang, you can consider giving it to her.

As for why he had a whim and wanted this little monster to learn to pray for rain, it was naturally because-

Kamiyagawa's best technique, Water Dirty Yin Thunder, will greatly increase its effect in a rainy environment!

Just imagine, if there is a Hiyobo who has learned to pray for rain in the future when he fights, as soon as Kamiya raises his hand, the water and dirty yin thunder will be raging and rushing in the rain curtain, and the tide will sound and lightning.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

How cool does that have to be!

……

"Little old man, big rock, high mountain, you guys go back to the low-rent apartment. I'm staying here tonight, help me pack some groceries and groceries, oh, by the way, bring Satoru too, don't leave her alone in the apartment over there. ”

Satoru hasn't woken up since the last time he used "Future Vision".

And what Kamiya said about "bring her" was actually to bring the spirit of enlightenment, that is, the old-fashioned lottery phone that had been stripped of paint.

The hearses of the non-combat units and the little old man obeyed the order to leave temporarily.

Kamiyagawa stood up from the floor with a text and beckoned Zashiki to return to the Golden Ball Bell.

Finally, he looked at the dirt taste and the day and the fang who had retreated to the corner of the room, and asked:

"By the way, have you ever dealt with anything in the utility room?"

There was dirt in the utility room.

Kamiyagawa felt this when he was taken around the house by Mr. Doi just now.

Beneath the huge cabinet in the corner of the utility room, he could feel the evil aura.

And it's different from the almost harmless little monster aura carried by the two of them.

The evil spirit in the utility room is aggressive, and there is also a strong resentment.

Judging from Kamiya's current more experienced experience in removing spirits.

Generally speaking, the weird stories born in public opinion are not very likely to carry resentment, unless the background story that gave rise to them is very special.

It is not uncommon for ghosts to be formed by the souls of the deceased, and to have a grudge.

The Raven Lady, the Girl in the Box, and even the Rabbit Pill I met before were like this.

So based on this, the guess is that the contents under the cabinet in the utility room should belong to the undead monster, and it is likely to be related to the family that died in this house eight years ago.

"Hmm...... Nope. ”

Suddenly, I was asked again, and I was asked about the situation in the utility room.

Rihefang, who had already sat on the floor, stood up in a panic like a primary school student who was suddenly named in class:

"Kamiya-sama, what's in the utility room...... Sometimes it acts scary, but it never comes out. ”

"Scary sometimes?"

"It's just going to make some frightening sounds."

"Oh."

"And then the rest, I and the dirt taste are not clear. Although we were all attracted by the smell of the utility room, we didn't usually dare to go near it. ”

As Hiwabo said, "I was attracted by the smell of the utility room, but I didn't dare to approach."

Kamiyagawa, who is already quite well-informed, can understand what this means.

It's not very complicated to say -

The real world is different from the inner world, to put it crudely, one is the yang world and the other is the underworld.

The underworld is the world of the strangers, and the yang is the world of the living.

There are some strange stories, especially the weakest geist monsters, as well as the weak spirit descending monsters who coincidentally enter the reality of the spirit descending monsters, and they will feel uncomfortable and unaccustomed to the soil and water when they stay in reality.

But they are not foreign visitors, and they are not free to go back to the inner world.

Whether it is a spirit or a spirit descending, if you are trapped in the real world, it is often only possible to return to the inner world with the help of special kinds of strange stories, that is, the type of hearse group.

Of course, this is highly unlikely.

Therefore, these weak and strange people who wander in the real world will instinctively look for a more underworld place in the yang world where they can feel comfortable to live.

One such place was built in Arakawa.

The evil aura that exists in the clutter will attract some weak strange talkers, like moths to a fire.

This is how I was attracted to it.

"The things in the utility room have never come out? I know. Kamiyagawa nodded, got up with a sword and pushed the door out, and at the same time did not forget to turn around and instruct the two little monsters, "You two stay in the living room, don't run around, I'll take care of the things in the utility room." ”

Deal with it......

That's too much of an overstatement.

Hihebo and Tsumi first watched Kamiyagawa push the door and leave with a few fierce and vicious strange talks, and then stayed in the room and didn't dare to move, looking at each other in silence.

That cautious look is like two interns working at the beginning of the workplace.

……

"The level of the Dirt Taste and the Sun and Fang Spirit Descending Little Monsters are not enough to scare away several former house owners. The culprit who turned this place into a murderous mansion probably has to be a strange talk in the utility room. It's time to see what the other person is. ”

in the hallway.

Kamiyagawa carried a text in front.

When he walked to the door of the utility room, the dream-eating tapir behind him suddenly shook his long nose and shouted, "Poof, poof".

"What's wrong?"

Kamiyagawa did not rush into the utility room, but squatted down in front of the Dream Eater Tapir.

"Poof, poof."

The Dream Eater snapped its nose again, lifted its forelimbs, and placed its little paw on Kamiyagawa's knee.

A blurry crimson light flickered.

Under the influence of the tapir, Kamiyagawa fell into a lucid dream that lasted no more than a few tenths of a second, and in the dream, he obtained all the information that the tapir wanted to transmit-

The tapir said that it smelled of fear and nightmares in this house.

The owners of the houses who moved in here should have been plagued by fears and nightmares for a long time.

It is estimated that this is one of the reasons why they abandoned the house and moved elsewhere.

"The strange thing in this is that it has the ability to be related to dreams? The kind of ape dream? ”

"Poof, poof." The tapir nodded and shook his head.

What it means is that the ability to detect the most powerful strange things in the room does have a little dream-like ability, but only a little.

It's not the same as Ape Dream.

"Okay, then you'll need to play later."

Kamiyagawa patted the tapir's head with auspicious cloud red lines.

Push open the utility room door.

Turn on the lights.

Bright and steady light was quickly cast down, filling the room at once.

"Mary, Prajna, you two stick closer to me. Inujiro guards the door, and the Dream Eater Tapir pays attention to countering possible hostile dream abilities. ”

Kamiyagawa gave an order to the gods, looked at the cabinet on the wall of the room, and stepped forward to push it.

It is certain that this huge and heavy cabinet is indeed fixed to the ground.

Squeak –

Mary reached out and pulled open the double door at the bottom of the cabinet.

It was empty.

"When I opened the cabinet door, I felt that the evil aura of resentment in the utility room didn't seem to get much stronger."

Dongdong.

Kamiyagawa tapped the bottom of the cabinet with the scabbard of a word.

The bottom of the entire large cabinet should be made of a very thick piece of solid wood.

He thought for a moment, then stabbed the blade of a word at the bottom of the cabinet.

The gorgeous and narrow Nanquan character sharpens iron like mud, and it is naturally easy to pierce a thick wooden plank.

Kamiya held the handle of the knife with a little force, and opened a small hole in the bottom of the solid wood cabinet.

He glanced inside:

"At the bottom of this cabinet, there is still a mezzanine? Well...... Since I'm going to buy this one-family building, this cabinet should also be my thing, right? ”

"Mary."

Kamiyagawa was also not polite and beckoned to Mary beside him.

Rumble!

The bloody and heavy machete smashed down at the bottom of the cabinet.

The huge cabinet collapsed, but Mary reached out to hold it, and she dragged it casually, leaning against it in the corner on the other side of the room.

The heavy fixed cabinet is cut, and with a simple cleaning, you can see the situation under the cabinet.

There is also a solid wood base plate underneath the previous bottom mezzanine.

However, this base plate is fixed to the floor by four long rivets that have been somewhat decayed.

"Alas. It seems that the utility room will be renovated in the future. ”

After a little more time, Kamiya asked Mary to use her arm strength of no less than 15 tons, with a machete, to dispose of the base plate and rivets embedded in the ground.

Now what's under the original cabinet is finally at a glance -

It was a door.

A clamshell-style square metal tunnel door leading to the underground.

"This household is also given a basement, and this wave is another wave of blood gain."

Kamiyagawa said this, but the black hole quickly shrank, becoming deeper and deeper, as if he could see through everything.

He reached out and pulled at the passage door on the ground.

Suddenly, the lights in the utility room turned on, then went out again, and kept repeating, flickering violently.

This is true not only in the utility room, but also in the whole house, whether it is on or off.

In the midst of the intense change in light and darkness, Kamiyagawa also heard a shrill grinding sound similar to a fingernail tapping the bottom plate, and a dry and hoarse roar.

He could hear it clearly, the voice coming from below him.

That is, under the floor.

"Thorn-"

"Titicaca-Titicaca-"

The strange noise continued, and grew louder and louder, from one side of the utility room to the other corner.

It was as if something was hanging upside down in the ground, crawling swiftly and darkly and twistedly.
