The teahouse of Juqiong Shrine.

The area can probably hold four and a half stacks of "tatami mats", which is small and elegant, and has a compact structure.

The interior is equipped with alcoves, hearths and wooden windows, and the water hut on the right side is used for boiling water, tea making, tea tasting utensils and cleaning utensils.

In the bed area, calligraphy and paintings of celebrities are hung, and bamboo vases hang next to them.

The flower arrangement in the bottle is a withered pine branch in line with the winter season, the shape is casual, but it is winding and vigorous, and a dead branch is living out the posture of an ancient tree in the bottle.

Tonight's sacrifice to Tianyu has ended successfully.

In the tea room, there are three people, Granny Yu, Onizuka, and Kamiya.

The little witch of Onizuka was very serious, and she poured tea and water with a sense of ceremony, mixed ointment and water, and whisked matcha, and finally made three cups of matcha.

It can be seen that she should be very good at the matcha ceremony in the tea ceremony.

Granny Yu pushed a cup of matcha in front of Kamiya: "Defeat the fat powder fairy, delay the plague god, deal with Ruyue Station, and solve the Wakayama bone whale disaster...... The soul slayer in the organization is familiar with what you have done this year, and the name of your ghost and god disciple is also like thunder, and he is a hero and a teenager in the end. ”

In the mouth of Onizuka, this old priest is always a strict elder image.

But in the face of others, more often than not, she is a kind and kind old woman.

"It's not that powerful."

Kamiyagawa picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The taste is slightly bitter, and the aftertaste is very sweet, which is not bad.

"Hotaru often talks about you in front of me, too."

"Not often, mother-in-law! It's only occasional. Onizuka Kirita, who was wiping the tea set on the side, couldn't help but interject.

"Huh." Granny Yu just smiled, "You can get close to Xiao Hotaru in the future, this child doesn't have any friends." ”

"Mother-in-law!"

"Definitely, definitely."

Granny Yu's eyes are hollow, but she always "gazes" at the Kamiya River on the other side.

Kamiya could feel himself being scrutinized.

The three of them chatted for a while.

Granny Kan didn't put any pressure on Kamiya River, who was a guest, but it was Onizuka, because her mother-in-law would praise Kamiya from time to time, and she had a feeling of facing "other people's children".

Maybe the elders all over the world are the same.

Granny Yu: "...... Do you have no elders in your family anymore? It's hard work. Ogawa, it's okay if I call you that, right? ”

Kamiya: "It's okay! ”

"Huh." The old priest smiled kindly and paused for a few seconds, "Xiaochuan, I remember that you have officially registered information, and among the Shikigami under your command, there is a dream-eating tapir?" ”

"Well, there is."

"It's a very rare kind of weirdness."

"It's also a good luck contract."

Kamiyagawa said this, but he vaguely felt something in his heart.

The old priest is talking to himself today, it shouldn't be as simple as just doing a homework.

"Mother-in-law has something she wants to ask you." Granny Sips a sip of matcha.

"You say."

Here comes the real point of this conversation.

"Recently, there has been a very strange story in Kanagawa and several areas of Tokyo." Granny Yu took out a small pile of materials from her side and put it on the tea table, "It is related to dreams, and there is no record of this kind of strange talk in the organization's data files. So it should be new. ”

Kamiya picked up the information and looked through it.

In this pile of information, a total of three strange incidents were recorded, and the content was similar.

The objects of strange talk all claim to have seen a strange-looking man in a dream.

In addition, the information also comes with a restored picture of the appearance of the "man who appeared in the dream".

The man in the picture has thick eyebrows, a high hairline, a closed mouth, and a big grin.

"This is...... Dream man? ”

Kamiyagawa recognized the strange tale image on the screen at a glance.

A few days ago, when he took his little tapir out to "forage", he encountered such a strange story!

After disposing of that dream man, who is probably rated F. The dream-eating tapir goes home and passes through the dream to convey the image of the dream man to the owner Kamiyagawa, as well as the general encounter of the young lady who hit the spirit in the dream.

So, Kamiya knows what Yumeo looks like.

The onitsuka on the side also took out a piece of information and looked at it: "Kamiya, have you ever seen this kind of strange talk?" ”

"Well, not long ago, I retired from Chiyoda District, and my strength is not strong, probably an F-level visit." Kamiya nodded, "The strange man who appeared in the dream, the dream man was the code name I gave him. Because I didn't find a backstory for this weird story. ”

The information taken out by the mother-in-law showed that the three dream man encounters all happened in the recent period.

The oldest one was only two months ago.

Counting the one Kamiya met in Chiyoda District, in just two months, there have been at least four dream men in Kanagawa and near Tokyo.

As a kind of new anecdote that has not been recorded before, the frequency of such strange visits is obviously abnormal.

It's not normal.

In addition, the dreams of the four dreamers are not the same.

The one Kamiya encountered was pulling the party to jump off the building, and it affected the party's actions in reality.

And the remaining three cases are not so hurtful.

Two of them saw the dream man in a row in their dreams and were frightened to a certain extent.

In another case, according to the person concerned, she fell in love with the dream man in her dream. And the dream is continuous, and I fall in love with this dream monster, get married, and even get pregnant in a recent dream......

"You've also retired from this kind of weirdness? I remember writing a report and submitting it, and the organization has recently taken the situation of this 'dream man' very seriously, because he is so unusual. Granny Yu explained this, and her expression became a little more solemn, "According to the organization's inference, this kind of strange talk may have been deliberately created by someone." ”

"On purpose?"

Kamiya fell into thought.

In fact, theoretically speaking, all the strange rumors of modern urban public opinion are artificially created.

Spread spawn in various horror stories.

However, basically all the people who create strange public opinion are unintentional.

The former "Hasumi" and Kiratsu stations are a typical example.

And Granny Blind emphasized that this dream man is likely to be created "deliberately", which is a bit intriguing.

"Well, the initiator of the creation of 'Dream Man' should not be an ordinary person, capable or blessed by extraordinary items, otherwise it will not be possible to make more than four Dream Men visit in a short period of time." Granny Yu continued.

Kamiyagawa fully agrees with this.

He met a dream man a few days ago, and it doesn't mean anything.

But with the data provided by the organization, the problem is even bigger.

"We also suspect that the person who created Dream Man has something to do with a strange organization - the time of the demon. The driving force behind it is likely to be a member of the magic time. Previously, the incident of the Fat Powder Immortal, as well as the incident of the Plague God, were also judged to be related to this organization. ”

Granny Yu's tone was flat, but the word "plague god" was deliberately accented.

It seems to be a reminder of something to Kamiya.

It turned out that the official organization knew about the existence of the demon at the time of the encounter, and even the two forces may have secretly fought several times.

And Kamiyagawa had never received information from the authorities about the time of the demon before.

But it's normal to think about it.

The information at the time of the demon may belong to the category of classified high-level intelligence in the organization.

With Kamiya's previous status in the organization, there is a high probability that he has no right to know.

And now, with the title of "Ghost and God Disciple", plus he has done a lot of vigorous things, he can be regarded as a special talent in the eyes of the organization, and even enjoys some special treatment, and the authority to obtain information has naturally become higher.

And, Kamiyagawa also thought of some things in hindsight-

In the operation against the fat powder fairy and the god of the plague, the official used a lot of money, mobilizing the elite forces that could be mobilized as much as possible.

In the two operations, the high-level elites such as Uncle Yuuki and Juqiong Shrine were all mobilized.

After all, the plague god made by the breeder at noon has a B level, and he also controls many other "flower seeds", so it is reasonable to use this kind of large-scale confrontation.

But when Kabuki is in the past, counting the fat powder fairy of the flesh spirit, that is, the C-level ceiling, the quasi-B-level level.

It shouldn't have been targeted with much fanfare.

Now that I think about it, it must be the organization that judged that the incident of the fat powder fairy was related to the time of the demon, so I had to increase the investment in elite manpower.

"Mother-in-law, what kind of organization are you talking about when you meet demons?" Kamiyagawa pondered for a moment and asked.

Granny just shook her head at this: "Strange and mysterious organization, so far we only know that the members of this organization are using the power of strange talk to create social disturbances in a premeditated manner. ”

"Can I see a record of the organization?"

"Your words...... It should be possible to submit an application and have Yuuki and I vouch for it. ”

Granny didn't ask why Kamiya was so concerned about this organization, and gave a direct reply.

He even plans to help with the guarantee.

She obviously hoped that Kamiyagawa would check the information of the time of the demon and learn more.

"Thank you, mother-in-law. The man who appeared with the plague god before said when he killed himself that he would come back to me. I've always suspected that his suicide wasn't that simple, and that he probably left his hands behind, and maybe made himself a strange tale similar to the plague god. ”

"Well, let's look it up. You now have such permissions, and you should understand them well. Granny Yu nodded, without any surprises.

Kamiyagawa's concerns about breeders are probably foreseen by people in the organization.

"What do you want to ask me about, mother-in-law?"

"The organization has recently wanted to increase its efforts to investigate the Dream Man incident. Yuki is now dealing with the strange story there in the Sendai area, and he can't get out. The dream man's affairs are handed over to our shrine to take the lead.,Ogawa, since you have a dream-eating tapir as a shikigami and a nemesis of dream weirdness.,I hope you can help us in the shrine's action.。 ”

Granny Blind told her true purpose.

Kamiyagawa is currently more closely connected with the official organization, but in the end, he is counted as a person under Yuki Shinkenyu, and his identity is also a little special.

Juqiong Shrine wants to mobilize him, in addition to saying hello to Uncle Yuuki, he also has to ask for other people's opinions.

It's a courtesy.

Compared to directly forcefully pulling him into the action, it will be much more decent.

"I'll help." Kamiyagawa nodded.

If the Dream Man event is really related to the members of the Demon Encounter, even if it is for the reward of a special event, he has to participate in it.

……

The approach under the Juqiong Shrine.

The moonlight shone through the ancient branches of the forest and fell on the stone steps in pieces.

Onizuka climbed the stairs with Kamiya and sent him away.

"Not staying overnight at the shrine?" The little witch asked.

"Do you sleep in a guest room?"

"Of course. Where else do you want to sleep? Onizuka rolled his eyes.

"I'll be back soon, and I still have some things to do at home. Next, I have to deal with the matter of a dream man.,I guess I'll have to come to your shrine a lot of times.。 ”

"Yes." With his hands behind his back, Onizuka jumped down two steps and came to Kamiya, "Kamiya, the breeder's thing, huh...... The material I've seen seems to be called a breeder. Will he really come back to you? ”

Both stopped at the same time.

"It's hard to say. I saw that before he committed suicide, he still had a lot of resentment against me, after all, I directly stopped him from attacking the formation at that time. ”

"He's a B-class weirdo. If I could make myself weird, I think it would be very strong. ”

Onizuka stood in front of Kamiya without looking back.

The end of the ponytail, which is tied with white sandalwood paper, is blown away by the night breeze of the approach.

"Should? But Granny Yu also said it just now. According to the organization, even if the breeder really wants to make himself a weird talker, it will not be done all at once. ”

"Hmm......" Onizuka nodded, "You know what?" Kamiya, I've been working very my Miko cultivation lately, and even my mother-in-law, who has always been strict with me, praised me. ”

"Yes."

"I'm going to work a little harder. Your ghost and god disciples must also work hard in their cultivation, but don't be surpassed by me. Onizuka descended another step and smiled back at Kamiyagawa, "Also, the Ema I gave you, remember to always keep it with you." ”

Under the hazy and mottled moonlight, the girl's smile was bright.

"I will."

……

At the foot of the mountain of Juqiong Shrine.

Seeing the little shrine maiden walk up the approach, Kamiyagawa got into the ghost car.

As soon as he sat down, he pulled out his phone.

In fact, when I was talking to my mother-in-law just now, and when I talked about the topic of "When I meet the devil", my mobile phone vibrated a little.

But Kamiya only took it out now to check-

[Special Event Mission, [Demon Time III] has been launched!] ]

[The core requirements of this mission are as follows: Defeat the members of the "Demon Time Organization", Mao Shijia.] ]

[Special event missions will give out generous rewards based on the final comprehensive score of the event, so please actively participate!] ]

"It's really a magic time mission. Therefore, the judgment of the official organization is very accurate, and the driving force behind the dream man's strange talk is indeed a member of the Demon Hour. ”

Kamiya put his phone away.

There are now two special event missions in "Strange Tales of Things".

Previously, [Time of the Demon II], which completely defeated the breeder, is only half completed.

After the [Demon Time III] came out, the previous quest was not overwritten, and it still existed.

"Home? Ability to create weird stories......"
