Himezuki Kohata stared at the photo in Kamiya's hand, as if she had finally remembered something.

That funeral......

People dressed in black come and go in a heavy atmosphere, accompanied by sad cries and staccato prayers.

Inside the venue, the black and white decorations are solemn. People talked in whispers, but they still couldn't see anyone's faces, and the air was filled with the mixed smell of flowers and incense sticks, mixed with a dull sadness.

"No, no......"

Himezuki shook her head vigorously.

I hadn't been to that funeral.

But why do you have such a clear memory in your mind?

Even though he denied and resisted in his heart, Kohata Himetsuki still saw "more" in his memory-

She saw the black coffin in the center of the mourning hall, and saw the remains surrounded by yellow and white flowers.

The person in the portrait has long and smooth hair that hangs gently over his shoulders. The bun on the top of the head is meticulously groomed, showing rigor and neatness.

The facial features are distinct, the lines are clear, and the face has an impeccable gentle smile, and the smile is not from the heart, but it does feel cordial and friendly.

This face is all too familiar to Himetsuki Kohata.

It's herself.

"That's ...... My own funeral? Kohata Himetsuki's voice trembled again, and then turned into a silent scream, "Impossible, impossible!" ”

"Is that so?"

Kamiya looked at the supernatural photo in his hand.

It seems that this so-called funeral belongs to Kohata Himezuki himself.

"No, it's not like that! Mr. Kamiya, I'm still alive, I'm still alive, right? ”

Himezuki Kohata struggles desperately like a drowning man, trying to grasp the life-saving straw.

This originally dignified and beautiful lady was embarrassed at the moment.

The clothes on his body were completely soaked with filthy muddy water, his outlines were blurred, and his long silky hair was also wet and hung heavily on his shoulders.

Her body, once tall and proud, was now bent, suffering greatly from her hysteria.

"Calm down, ma'am, you're still alive."

Kamiya raised his hand and grabbed Kohata Himetsuki's wrist, trying to control her and prevent her from making any drastic moves.

This lady is a living person.

This had been confirmed when I met her in the morning.

There can be no mistake.

To be on the safe side, Kamiyagawa had previously checked Kohata Himetsuki's information on the Internet.

No matter what the other party says, she is also an upper-class person in Tokyo, and she is the hostess of a famous Kabuki family, and if she dies, there will be some news on the Internet.

And there is no news of the death of Himezuki Kohata on the Internet.

"But, that funeral, that funeral is mine!"

"Maybe it's just an illusion? Same as what you just saw. ”

The moment Kamiyagawa controlled Himezuki Kohata, he noticed that the supernatural photo he was holding in his other hand slowly dissipated.

This photo is from that funeral.

And since a photograph can dissipate itself after a certain condition is met, it means that it is not entirely real.

In the same way, the funeral may not have been absolutely real.

Also, the face of Kohata Himezuki in the photo is clearly visible, but the faces of the other characters are extremely blurry, and it is impossible to distinguish who it is.

This may also be counted as circumstantial evidence that the funeral did not exist.

Because he received the Kamiyagawa "You're still alive" certification, a few minutes later, Kohata Himezuki finally relieved himself.

"I'm sorry."

She habitually began to apologize again.

"Madam, you have nothing to be sorry for me." Kamiya shook his head, "I took your money, and everything I have done so far is what I should do. Now, the supernatural photos have dissipated, and that tricolor Kumatori is no longer haunting you. For now, you're safe for now. Of course, I'll do another investigation into that Kuma after I take it, and I'll contact you as soon as I have a situation. ”

Take the money to do things.

I have to come up with a service that is worth the price of 20 million yen.

……

"Thank you, Mr. Kamiya, it's great to entrust you with your help. I...... You can see what I look like now. Since you said I was safe for the time being, then I will take my leave. ”

"Hmm." Kamiya nodded, thought for a moment, and added, "That's right, madam, about the Kohata family. ”

"What?"

"It's nothing, I just don't think you're doing well at Kohata's house, so I gave those things a chance to take advantage of it."

Kamiya had previously observed Kohata Himetsuki talking to himself here for half a day.

I also roughly know the situation of this famous wife.

Living in such an environment, the Buddha is on fire.

"Then I should ...... How? ”

"Go to the shrine to burn incense, donate some money, and pray for the return of the omamori. There is a giant shrine in Kanagawa, I don't know if you've heard of it, but going there should be effective. Perhaps, you may want to consider leaving the Kohata family. ”

"Leave?"

Himezuki Kohata suddenly raised her head, strands of wet hair sticking to her muddy face, drawing clear lines.

On the face of this lady, there was an emotion that she had never seen before.

"Impossible, impossible to leave!"

She whispered quietly, dreamily, very quickly and very indistinctly.

It was a hoarse, shrill voice that squeezed her throat like a night wind creeping through the dead branches, or as if an ancient stone slab was moving quietly in the night.

Her fingers suddenly clenched, and she tightened the hem of her wet and dirty clothes, as if grasping something invisible. Her whispers grew quicker and faster, with a hint of madness in her tone. The unseen thing seemed to struggle in her grasp, accompanied by muffled and rustling sounds.

"Leaving Kohata's house, I don't have anything. As long as I can give birth to a son, as long as my son can inherit the family business, then I can have everything...... It's impossible to leave, it's impossible to ......."

Kamiya watched the change in his employer's expression, shrugged his shoulders, and didn't say anything more.

It doesn't matter whether or not Kohata Himetsuki's funeral actually happened, but something about her body is probably dead.

After a few seconds, the lady was back to normal.

As if nothing had happened, he bowed dignified towards Kamiya: "I'll go to the Juqiong Shrine you said to have a look." Thank you again, Mr. Kamiya. ”

……

When Kohata Himezuki's figure disappeared, in this pitch-black field, only Kamiyagawa was left standing alone holding a scabbard of words.

After a few more seconds, Prajna appeared from his side.

"Let her go again?"

"Well, there shouldn't be any problems this time. The supernatural picture disappeared, and Kuma's breath was no longer on her. Oh, by the way, Kumatori, I'll have to look into this later. ”

"Tsk, that's a big problem, isn't it?"

"In what way?"

"Doppelganger, that woman is most likely the doppelganger you said."

Kamiyagawa doesn't completely deny this: "Indeed. However, I can't do anything now, I can't take the money and hack my employer to death...... Moreover, it is not completely conclusive whether she is a doppelganger or not. ”

Psychic photos, and the non-existent funeral in Kohata Himezuki's memory.

Optimistically, this may also be some kind of hallucinatory product of Kumatori's influence.

Aside from that speculation, of course. The truth is not without another possibility-

For example, a doppelganger.

There is a saying in the urban legend about the doppelganger.

It is said that once the doppelganger is generated, the original owner may disappear for some reason, and the doppelganger will take his place.

Maybe Kohata Himezuki is really "dead", "death" in the mysterious sense.

The funeral that existed in the mind of Mrs. Kohata in front of her, as well as the supernatural photo, were all "death certificates" of Kohata Himetsuki.

If this speculation is true.

Then Kamiya has never seen the real Kohata Himetsuki from beginning to end, and the Kohata lady he came into contact with is no longer the original Kohata Himetsuki, but appeared later and replaced the original owner's doppelganger.

But this speculation has not been confirmed at present.

Because from Kamiya's point of view, this Kohata Himezuki is indeed human.

When I tested the other party with the topic of "doppelganger" in the morning, I didn't see anything abnormal about her.

Moreover, if the current Kohata Himetsuki is really a doppelganger, using supernatural photos to find a spirit destroyer is completely uncomfortable for himself.

"Unless the doppelganger replaces the original owner, he is also a human being without any extraordinary power. And the doppelganger itself does not know that it is a doppelganger, but will completely regard itself as the original owner, all of which can be explained. ”

But that's all speculation.

Pranya shook his head: "Even if you don't talk about the possibility of a doppelganger, is it really good to let her go back to the Kohata family?" That famous family of cannibals. ”

Kamiyagawa still didn't care too much: "You also heard her last words, she didn't want to leave the Kohata family." Take money to do things, let go of the complex of helping others, and respect the fate of others. ”

Anyway, the morning commission was only divided into two aspects.

One is a supernatural photo, and the other is a tricolor Kumatori.

The former has been resolved, the latter has come to an end, and there will be follow-up later.

What Kamiyagawa is doing so far is fully worthy of the 20 million remuneration collected.

In all conscience.

And if the current Kohata Himetsuki is really a doppelganger, and to some extent blackened, then she will have a lot of fun when she goes back to Kohata's house, in Kamiya's opinion.

"I'll report what happened today to the countermeasures room, whether Kohata Himezuki is a doppelganger, whether it will cause any harm, the countermeasures room will investigate and deal with it, they are very good at doing this." Kamiya added.

He really had no intention of killing his employer.

But after reporting the situation truthfully, what will happen to the countermeasures room will deal with this matter, it has nothing to do with him.

And compared to the current Kohata Himetsuki, Kamiyagawa is obviously more interested in that Kumatori, and should devote his energy to things that seem more important.

I'll take the money, and the dirty work of wiping my butt will be done in the strategy room.

Perfect!

Praruo was silent for a while, although he felt that he was a little shameless, but thinking about his handling of this matter, it seemed that he couldn't find any fault?

The countermeasures room is really good at doing these aftermath things.

The truth is all for Kamiya.

How annoying you say.

Praruo raised his eyes and glanced in the direction where Kohata Himetsuki had left: "Snort, Mingmen...... It's even worse than your exploitation of weird talk. ”

Kamiyagawa: ?

Can this cue to mine too?

How innocent I am!

"It's not...... Where did you learn the wording? And I think you're using the wrong words. Forget it - go, go home. ”

Dark clouds cover the sky like cotton.

But at some point, the moon struggled to break free from the darkness. The bright moonlight shines through the edge of the black clouds, like a round of huge holy pupils, watching the world alone but firmly in the darkness.

Kamiya walked towards where Oishi had parked, and Hannya followed him quietly.

The moonlight lengthens their reflections, gently shaking and blending together.

"Prajna?"

"Hmm."

"You just said exploitation, right? I thought about it...... Well, in your heart, I shouldn't have treated you the way Kohata Himetsuki's husband treated her, right? If you have any comments about me, remember to put them up in time - hey! Seriously, don't bite me with a mask! ”

“…… A sucker. ”

……

Setagaya Ward, Tokyo.

Yoji Shimokawa, a high school student who lives here, is a virtual anchor and a die-hard fan of Mary-chan, a new-age urban monster.

As early as when Mary-chan first started live broadcasting, he paid attention to it.

And from time to time, I will cut some live slices of Mary, and make some memes such as "Mary-chan scolds me" and "Faith in Mary Ten Consecutive Six Golds".

It's a loyal pusher.

But more than three months ago, Mary-chan suddenly issued an announcement, saying that it was because of personal work reasons that she would reduce the frequency of live broadcasts for a period of time.

Since then, Mary's live streams have really decreased, and even if they do, they ...... Well, it doesn't smell like that.

The original Mary sauce doesn't need to be deliberately lived, it has its own program effect. And the taste of the female ghost is very pure and genuine, and it is loved by everyone.

But in the last three months of low-frequency live broadcasts, it can be clearly felt that Mary-chan talks less when she plays games, and she doesn't scold people much in the live broadcast room.

The popularity in the live broadcast room has also declined.

The person in Mary Sauce is probably really working hard for the work in reality, resulting in a poor state and no longer the original aura.

The thought of the lovely Mary also having to accept the beating of reality made Yoji Shimokawa feel sad.

Come back, my Mary, my proudest faith.

During this difficult time, Yoji relied on slicing some of Mary's famous live broadcast scenes and repeatedly slipped them to the pulp to make meal replacements, and a week ago, things finally ushered in a turn for the better.

Mary-chan posted an announcement in her personal dynamics that "in reality, the work has come to an end, and the original live broadcast frequency of six broadcasts a week will be resumed".

The live broadcast on the night of the announcement, Yoji almost cried with joy when he saw it.

Mary-chan she finally cursed again!

It's still a familiar taste.

It's back, it's all back.

"In just over twenty minutes, Mary-chan should be on the air."

Tonight, Yoji was also energetic in Mary's live broadcast room.

However, because there was still a little time before the start of the broadcast, he surfed the Internet casually and searched for content related to Mary Sauce with high intensity.

The phone was swiping, and he saw a verified user on ins-

[Genie Animation Studio]

“GENIE？ A studio I haven't heard of, oh...... Looking at the introduction, it seems that it has just been established. ”

"The top dynamic, "Miss Mary" project confirmed. No wonder they were found...... Huh? Wait a minute, on this poster, why is the image of Miss Mary newly planned by Genie Animation Studio ......"

Like, too much like that.

No, it's exactly the same.

Isn't this Mary-chan's holster!?
