Kamiyagawa put away the sword and took the phone.

And the boy who ran to deliver the mobile phone was still in front of him.

This little girl in a red and white kimono was tilting her head, wrinkling her nose slightly, and looking at Kamiya as if she was invited.

"Ahh

The meaning of Zashiki is probably clear.

Praise me, Abba!

I brought you the phone before the little mother saw the phone display!

Kamiyagawa glanced at Pranya and Mary, who were sitting inside and outside the house, and looked at the calm appearance of the two of them, and it was estimated that he had confirmed who was calling this big night.

The stupid daughter is still proud of her useless work.

And in Fu Bao's heart, what kind of image is he as a father?

Do you think I have to carry someone behind my back when I answer a call?

This is prejudice! Probably...... It's prejudice.

Although he thought so in his heart, Kamiya still rubbed Zashiki's head cooperatively.

The eldest daughter, who was a little overly clever, ran back to the living room.

"Zashiki is facing me like this, and I guess I'll be bullied by the disgruntled Prajna again. But this is also the norm for the two of them. Maybe it's because I've been bullied all the time, so Zashiki will be a little more ...... to me."

Kamiya felt a little helpless in his heart, and only then did he connect the phone that had been ringing for a while.

"Hello?" Master Kanazawa's voice rang from the other end of the phone, "Kamiya, I'm sorry to call you so late to disturb your rest. ”

"It's okay, I haven't slept yet. What's wrong? ”

"That's right, my side...... The ......" Kanazawa's tone sounded like he wanted to ask for help, but he didn't have a good time talking.

"Got in trouble?"

Hearing Kamiya ask like this, Kanazawa Xingluo finally spoke: "It's a little troublesome, so I want Kamiya's help." ”

"What kind of thing is it, you can tell me first."

On the side of Honganji, Kamiya still owes a favor.

During the winter vacation when Kanoya lived at home, he was led by Gen Kanazawa to practice Buddhist mantras.

As a teacher, Kanazawa has always been dedicated to his responsibilities during that time.

Therefore, the little apprentice's growth is quite fast.

These things are all in the eyes of Kamiya, who is the temporary guardian of the apprentice.

If someone else has helped him, he needs to help him back.

There are backs and forths, and this point of human affection still needs to be talked about.

Moreover, the spells taught by Shikanoya at Honganji Temple belong to the category of fur, and the favors owed are not too great.

According to the previous relationship, Monk Kanazawa's character is quite good, and it is estimated that he will not make any excessive requests.

"On Sumida's side, there have been several cases of disappearances related to strange stories. Actually, it's not a disappearance, and it's a little difficult to explain for a while. ”

"What do you want me to do?"

"Kamiya, you have a weird scout with very good perception, right? The weird talk to deal with isn't too strong in itself, and it doesn't even seem to be harmful, but it's very weird. And we can't locate the location of the scheming for the time being, so we're asking for the help of your scouts. ”

The scout with excellent perception must be referring to the little old man.

"Okay."

Kamiya didn't ask too many more questions, and answered quite simply.

"It's great that you're willing to help. When this is over, I will definitely apply to the temple to see if I can find some suitable advanced spells to teach Kanoya Yukino. Kanazawa was visibly relieved.

As her first actual teacher of the ministry, Gen Kanazawa knew about the situation of the fawn spirit fetus.

Having the opportunity to learn the more advanced spells in Honganji will definitely be of great benefit to the young apprentices.

And Kamiya thinks that Kanazawa is quite refreshing when he gives favors, and he doesn't have to be so twisted when he takes back favors.

But since everyone has taken the initiative to mention it, there is definitely no need to refuse.

His skin is obviously thicker than that of Kanazawa Xingluo.

……

Tokyo, Sumida-ku.

After talking to Kanazawa Xingluo on the phone, Kamiyagawa came here directly in the ghost Mazda.

Sumida Ward is one of the most down-to-town neighborhoods in Tokyo.

The shape of the neighborhood is also square and unconventional, and the overall rhythm is slow and quiet compared to the whole of Tokyo.

You can see sake everywhere here.

Izakaya is already an important symbol of Japanese culture, a place where you can deeply feel the atmosphere of Japanese life by interpreting the nightlife of ordinary people. After work, a few drinks with three or five confidants to eliminate or relieve the fatigue of the day is already an essential part of life for Japanese people.

The tavern is crowded and noisy, but always full of stories. Drinking and chatting, the fatigue is fully revealed, but the heart is quiet and warm in the glass and lamp. It can be called the best place for hard-working social animals to relieve the boredom and fatigue of a day of work.

When I arrived in Sumida, it was close to midnight, and there were small izakaya shops still open on the street, and the lights were warm yellow.

Kamiya met Kanazawa Hoshiro at the agreed place.

The young mage was not wearing monk's robes, but was dressed in ordinary casual clothes, and there were four people with him, presumably also from the strategy room, and the group looked a little tired.

In contrast, Kamiya, who had been on "vacation" recently, seemed to be in good spirits, and he was the first to say hello: "Good evening, Master Kanazawa." ”

"Good evening, Kamiya."

Kanazawa folded his hands in return.

The few unfamiliar countermeasure room operators around him were probably also very familiar with Kamiya, and they all greeted each other.

After a few polite greetings for a while, Kamiyagawa got straight to the point: "So, what kind of strange talk about the disappearance?" What you can't say on the phone should be able to be said now. ”

"Let's talk about it over here."

Next to Master Kanazawa and them, there was a black business car, or a nanny car, which was spacious and a little larger than a ghost car that had been upgraded once.

After getting into the car, Kanazawa handed over a copy of the case file.

Kamiya casually sat down comfortably in the soft leather chair, took the file and looked at it.

Monk Kanazawa: "Recently, the frequency of strange rumors in various places seems to have increased again. Honganji Temple is also too busy, and there are not enough people, so I'm really bothering you. ”

"It's okay, don't care. You take care of the fawn, the child, I owe it to you. Kamiya replied casually.

"Child......"

Monk Kanazawa whispered this.

He didn't think Kamiya was much older than Kanoya, but he always looked like a natural parent......

In addition, what Monk Kanazawa just said is also true.

It seems that judging from the situation in the countermeasure room, there has indeed been an increase in strange talk throughout Japan, especially after the end of the Yumeo incident that affected the entire Kanto region.

As far as is known, Uncle Yuuki didn't even take a vacation, and after dealing with a strange visit to a place, he took Nagasaki to Nagasaki to assist the local soul slayer.

It seems that Onizuka's side has also received a task recently, and went to Kobe, Hyogo Prefecture.

It feels like everyone is busy.

Kamiyagawa was commissioned by the people in the countermeasures room, and it was not a surprise that he was mobilized.

Rustling.

The case file is flipped, and it will soon be seen what the strange talk Kanazawa and they are going to deal with this time is, and it is also written in the information:

[The strange story that caused the disappearance of people in Sumida Ward for a short period of time is suspected to be a light without buckwheat]

The lamp has no buckwheat, and Kamiya knows this strange story.

An urban legend typical of the Edo period.

It is a strange story set in the current Sumida Ward of "Honsho", and is also known as one of the "Seven Wonders of the Honsho".

In the traditional Japanese form of rakugo (similar to stand-up comedy), performers often quote the "Seven Incredible Ways of the Institute" to arouse the curiosity of the common people.

In addition, the so-called seven incredible, in fact, there are more than seven kinds of strange theories, and there should be nine kinds of them.

There are actually nine of the seven unbelievable, which is very reasonable.

The "Asharai Residence" that Kamiyagawa once encountered at the Live Fish Hotel also belongs to this weird tale series.

As for the story of the lampless buckwheat, it is also simple to say -

This kind of weirdness occurs mainly in the cold late nights of winter.

At this time, in the middle of the night at the Edo Honsho, only the sound of practitioners chanting Buddha could be heard in the distance, and only the bare branches of the trees whirring in the wind. If you don't get drunk, no one wants to take a step out of the house.

And on such a cold and biting night, someone will still have to go out to catch up with an errand.

Walking on the road, I suddenly saw a large lantern in front of me, with the words "Erba, hand-cut noodles, udon" written on it.

This was a common lantern sign used by soba shops at the time.

You can hear shouts in the distance: "Come on, take a look, hot soba noodles."

If an unsuspecting passer-by eats the food from the soba shop, they will come out and find that the original stall or small shop has disappeared, and there will be misfortune when they return home.

However, the "Tonno Soba", which is suspected to have appeared in Sumida Ward, is different from the traditional story based on the available information.

The person you meet will go missing for a while.

It can be as short as a week or as long as a month or two, after which the person concerned will reappear on the streets in the middle of the night in Sumida.

Judging from the archives, people who have encountered the new lamp without buckwheat will not have any physical damage, but there seems to be some changes in their mental state.

In the information, the word "domestication" is used in the description of the status of several parties.

They were "domesticated" by the buckwheat.

Although I don't know how this strange story did this, the people who returned from the disappearance of Lamp No Buckwheat have a certain resistance to society.

The three parties currently on record were all found after Kanazawa and their involvement in the incident. They are depressed and reluctant to communicate with the people in the treatment room. And all of them showed a strong desire to return to the Lampno Soba shop.

Because I have just started to deal with this strange story, there is not a lot of information, and there is not much content recorded.

Most of them are the personal information of the person concerned.

In addition, Kamiya also found that the current three parties are all people with more status in society.

Their professions are doctors, presidents of small clubs, and even a councillor.

"Why is this happening?" Kamiyagawa put down the thin archival materials in his hand.

"I don't know." Monk Kanazawa shook his head with a bitter expression, "The three parties have just been found, and they are completely unwilling to communicate. It may be necessary to wait for some special assistance from the countermeasures room to find out what happened during the time they disappeared. ”

"Then you're in such a hurry to find Lamp No Buckwheat because someone is missing?"

"Let the countermeasures room realize that there is a new strange talk on Sumida's side because of the disappearance of Mr. Tsukada Satake. Oh, Mr. Tsukada is the head of Tokuma Studio. He runs a small animation studio with about 90 employees. In recent years, there have been one or two well-known comics and animated films. ”

"Ah, the animation studio."

Kamiyagawa was suddenly interested.

Because of the need to spread the belief in gods, he has been thinking about whether there is an opportunity to blend into the circle of the cultural industry.

Right now...... Maybe it's an opportunity!

"The current situation is that Mr. Tsukada probably encountered Tsukano Soba at some point in time, so he disappeared and has not reappeared. We heard Mr. Tsukada's name from one of the three parties we found. ”

In addition, there have been several recent disappearances in the vicinity of Sumida Ward, and although the Metropolitan Police Department has filed a case, it has no clue at the moment. According to the judgment of the countermeasure room, several of them may also be related to the light no buckwheat. ”

"Tonight, here in Sumida Ward, we used the psionic detector to find a slight strange energy fluctuation. It may be that the buckwheat has reappeared, but the exact location of this strange story cannot be found. So it occurred to me that Kamiya's sentient weird scout might have a solution. ”

Kanazawa continued the briefing.

Kamiya did notice that there were several metal detector-like instruments on the commercial vehicle.

This thing, when he was crusading against the fat powder fairy before, he had seen Kanazawa use it.

But now the detector's lights are not on, and the alarm is not sounding.

"Understood." Kamiyagawa nodded.

Then he looked at the armrest of his chair and asked, "Do you notice the strange talk?" ”

In the commercial car, from the perspective of the official soul slayers, including Kanazawa Xingluo, the location of Kamiyagawa's questioning was empty, and there was not even a trace of noteworthy atmosphere.

In fact, the little old man had been sitting there cross-legged, listening to his master communicate with Monk Kanazawa.

A long time ago, when the little old man was not promoted, Kanazawa could only barely see his vague figure.

Now that time has passed, Monk Kanazawa's perception ability is still very different from a year ago.

But the little old man is promoted again, and he has mastered a new skill [Nothingness], and it is completely incompatible.

Even though he was sitting in front of him, Kanazawa was completely unaware of his presence.

"Aba!"

The little old man patted his chest, jumped off the armrest of the seat, and quickly climbed to the co-pilot of the commercial vehicle.

In terms of perception, the little old man is very professional. Even if he has mastered the transcendent [Autumn Slash] technique, and his perception is far beyond that of most soul exterminators, he is not inferior to him at all.

And looking at his confident appearance, he may really feel that something different exists in Sumida.

"Gone."

Kamiya first motioned for the hearse members who had been waiting on the side of the road to go home on their own, and then began to call the soul killers to go according to the navigation instructions of his scout.
