Prajna's research on the cursed object of the sub-box has finally come to an end.

According to her analysis, this part of the material is not complete, but only a part of the original set of boxes.

Although the material itself is quite evil, it is not enough to directly attract the attention of Dark Silt Kamei.

If Kamiya and the others want to face the cursed god of the ugly time, they may have to gather the other materials in the box first.

In addition, in the previous Pingjiangmen incident, Prajna was also a personal participant. Based on that experience, it is reasonable to speculate that if the current abnormal state of dark silt Kamei wants to get out of trouble, he may have to find a suitable "container".

A vessel for the descent.

The body of the Ping Jiangmen last time was suitable, but now the body of the Ghost Emperor is no longer there, except for the head.

At present, it is possible that there are only two that can be regarded as "containers" by the United States.

The legendary Takiyasha Hime, as well as the Aoyagi of Kobinzawa.

Now it is known that there are only two people who have visited the shrine and succeeded.

However, whether it was Takiyasha Hime a thousand years ago or Aoyagi nearly a hundred years ago, it is still unknown whether they still survive in this world in some form.

The clues related to the dark silt and the beauty have been interrupted here again.

If Kamiyagawa wants to continue, he will either go to find the remaining sub-box materials, or he will find two containers that may exist.

However, after confirming that he didn't have to face the dark silt Kami at this stage, Kamiya was still a little lucky.

Next, seize the opportunity to strengthen your own strength.

Development is the last word!

Only the stronger your own side, the better the chance of winning when you have a hard fight with the righteous gods on the Huangquan side in the future.

In addition to the dark slugger Kami, who already has a lot of grudges, Kamiyagawa is now quite concerned about another god, that is, the fate of the gods.

Yausikp said that she felt the breath of the sun on the two remnants of the god of fate.

The Spider Mother Goddess is now taking the place of the old god of the root land, controlling the solar authority of this land, so she should not be wrong.

As for the god of kink, this deity is supposed to be a god from traditional Japanese Shintoism.

If he is related to the Shinto sun, it is related to Amaterasu.

And Amaterasu was the previous master of Takamagahara, the old leader who stood on the opposite side of Yellow Springs. Assuming that there is a close connection between the god of fate and Amaterasu, then there is a high probability that this god of marriage is a friend rather than an enemy.

Among the gods that are known to be yet completely fallen-

The god of darkness and beauty is a complete enemy.

The whereabouts of the Craftsman Ancestor God Jinshan God are unknown, his state is abnormal, and he is frantically persecuting the strange craftsmen who believe in him.

There is also an unspeakable eastward crosser, Kamiya is friendly with his apprentice, but his old man himself seems to be developing in an indescribable direction.

The New High Heavenly Plains forces looked at it and had no relatives, and there was no one they could directly rely on.

If the god of fate has not fallen, and is sober and friendly, it is very valuable to reach out and win over.

But if you think about it, even if the optimistic inference of the fate god is correct, he is still a part of the old High Heaven Plain forces.

It's hard to say how much the old man of the former dynasty can identify with the new Takamagahara-hara regime led by Kamiyagawa.

After all, striking iron still needs its own hardness, and the thriving New High Tengahara forces may be able to seek opportunities for the support of the old gods, but the first priority is to ensure that they develop strongly.

Thinking of this, Kamiyagawa knew that he still had a long way to go.

……

An upscale apartment in Chiyoda-ku, Japan.

Tsurumi Aoi carried the sword bag on her back and pushed open the door of her house, so many things had happened in a day today, and she was exhausted.

Bang dang.

The girl casually placed her sword pouch in the entrance and turned on the lights in the house.

Bright lights shine on the neat and modern furniture, but even then the whole home still looks deserted.

Tsurumi Aoi is used to this.

She was originally studying in Tokyo and living alone, studying at Edogawa High School in Edogawa Ward, and has entered her third year of high school.

Her family consists of her father and uncle, both in Ibaraki Prefecture.

Ibaraki is not particularly far from Tokyo, and you can go back in about an hour.

However, Tsurumi Aoi rarely goes to her father's place on weekends, and usually goes to her uncle's Kuromiya Kendo Hall, where she spends a day practicing self-manifest kendo.

The girl took off her coat and put her hands in her sweatshirt again.

Smack.

The buckle that was bound to his chest was unfastened, and Tsurumi Aoi took out a white underwear with a small bow decoration through the sweatshirt, and immediately felt her breath and sat down on the sofa with a long sigh of relief.

She began to think back to what had happened on the platform of Otemachi in the evening.

The girl who committed suicide, the other party has a very ominous atmosphere.

And after saving that girl, he seemed to be entangled by something, and Tsurumi Aoi felt this way.

On the way home, the passers-by she met avoided her.

However, Tsurumi Aoi is used to being alone, and she doesn't like to deal with others very much, and she is indeed a somewhat gloomy person as she looks. So the eight-point curse was manifested in her at first, and it didn't make her feel undue discomfort.

Of course, Tsurumi Aoi's current perception ability still can't realize that "things that wrap around yourself" are a curse.

I don't know the severity of the eight-point curse.

"Will the guardian power of the Great Black Sky dispel the ominous in me? Or do you need to contact your dad......"

The girl sitting on the couch frowned and thought so.

After thinking about it for a while, Tsurumi Aoi suddenly felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere at home.

The air conditioner in the room seems to have dropped a few points.

The chandelier in the living room, which was originally glowing steadily and brightly, flickered as if it had been in contact with each other.

Zizi, Zizi——

The sound of loud electricity came overhead, and the lights flickered on and off.

In addition to this, Tsurumi Aoi also heard the sound of dripping water.

The sound of a faucet not being turned off was clearly heard from the direction of the bathroom.

Soon, the sound of ticking water turned into the sound of rushing water.

Murky sewage trickles down the cracks in the bathroom door, reflecting the light in the overlapping light and dark.

Followed by.

Smack, smack, smack.

The sound of subtle footsteps, as if someone was stepping on the sewage step by step.

The bathroom door slammed open.

Tsurumi Aoi saw a rickety, thin figure, standing in the dark bathroom. Then the flickering lights, you can probably see the silhouette of the other party, it seems to be an old lady, only about 1.5 meters tall, her hair is gray and unkempt, and the blue cloth on her body is messy and crumpled.

Smack, smack.

It was the sound of wet footsteps on water stains again.

The old lady walked backwards out of the bathroom with her back to Tsurumi Aoi all the time, in a posture that could not be said to be natural or weird.

She seemed to be holding something in her hand, but she couldn't really see it because she could only see her back.

Smack, smack.

When the old lady retreated and walked, she stood on her tiptoes.

So much so that her rickety figure would rise and fall with her footsteps in the room of light and darkness, up and down.

And Tsurumi Aoi, who was still sitting on the sofa, didn't know if he was frightened by this sudden and terrifying scene or what, so he didn't move.

The old lady followed the water stains on the floor and retreated to the corner of the couch before stopping.

She slowly crouched down.

Tsurumi Aoi can see what the other party is holding now, it is a large wooden basin.

But I don't know what's inside.

Brush-pull, brush-pull.

The sound of washing came out, and the old lady washed something in the tub vigorously.

While washing, she also opened her mouth hoarsely, singing in a strange tone: "Wash the beans, catch people and eat, brush and pull ......"

Brush-pull, brush-pull.

The lights in the room dimmed.

The sound of washing suddenly stopped.

The old lady crouching in the corner of the sofa jerked her head back and looked at the girl on the couch.

She had a large nose and a pimpled face covered in pits. The chapped lips grinned, revealing a mouthful of irregular yellow teeth, and the cloudy old eyes flashed with greedy brilliance: "Catch people to eat, catch people ......"

In the next second, the voice of the old woman who met Tsurumi Aoi paused.

The murderous expression on her face also turned to horror, and she saw that the girl on the sofa had a flowing golden aura overflowing!

Zizi.

The lighting in the room suddenly stabilized, and the frightened old woman disappeared.

The weird talk ran away.

Only Tsurumi Aoi remained in her original posture and sat on the sofa, the expression on the girl's face was even more gloomy, she gritted her teeth, looked at the sewage in the ground, and her voice almost squeezed out from between her teeth: "It's going to be difficult to clean up." ”

……

After Tsurumi Aoi finished cleaning up the house, it was already late.

She was physically and mentally exhausted.

The strange talk that appeared at home just now, Tsurumi is also the first time I've seen it, but I can roughly guess what it is-

Azuki bean wash.

And the type of old woman like the one just now is generally called Dou Wash Mother-in-law.

It is a kind of youkai that makes a sound like squirming and washing adzuki beans, and usually haunts the water's edge, and sometimes sings while washing beans.

If anyone approached the sound of curiosity, she would be dragged into the water and drowned.

"Youkai appear at the house in Tokyo, and this is already the third time."

Tsurumi Aoi has become accustomed to this.

Since she was a child, she has often had this kind of strange experience.

The youkai seem to be easily attracted by the blessings of the gods on her, but if they get too close to her, they will be forced back by the blessed guardian power.

It's always been that way.

Tsurumi Aoi's family is a family of monks of the Nichiren sect who runs Yoshikoji Temple in Ibaraki.

The temple enshrines Daikokuten, one of the Seven Lucky Gods, and the Tsurumi family has been blessed by the power of this god for generations.

Her family has produced several very powerful soul slayers, and with the power of the lucky god Daikokuten, the heirs of the Tsurumi family were originally very good at divination of good luck and evil and auxiliary techniques for other soul slayer in the spirit removal battle.

But that was a long time ago.

Like now, the Tsurumi family in the spirit world has tended to decline.

When Tsurumi Aoi's mother was still alive, she was just a second-rate soul remover in the strategy room.

Although it is true that because of the power of the Great Black Sky, it is not wrong that it is difficult to directly hurt the people of the Tsurumi family in ordinary strange talks, but in modern times, the heirlooms of the Tsurumi family have less and less mastery of the family heirlooms.

When I got to Tsurumi Aoi......

Even though she was blessed by the gods like her mother, she had no talent for learning magic at all.

The blessing of the god of good fortune is more like a kind of protection passive, which can protect Tsurumi Aoi from harm, but it cannot be actively used to cure strange stories.

Like the mother-in-law of Dou Wash just now, although Tsurumi is not afraid of her, but in the follow-up strange talk of choosing to run away, Tsurumi actually can't do anything with her.

In addition, only Tsurumi's mother is mentioned about the Tsurumi family, not his surviving father.

That's because her mother is the heir of the Tsurumi family.

Tsurumi's mother is an only daughter, and according to the rules of her family's temple generation, when there is no male in the family, the only daughter cannot marry and change her husband's surname, and must inherit the family property.

The way of inheritance is through the recruitment of sons-in-law.

The son-in-law was to join the Tsurumi family and become a monk, becoming the nominal presiding officer of the woman's temple.

Tsurumi's parents are in free love, but his father is willing to join the temple as a monk for his lover.

This is also why Tsurumi Aoi's surname is "Tsurumi", while her uncle, who runs a kendo hall, has the surname "Kuromiya".

Black Palace was her original patron's surname.

After tidying up the house, Tsurumi Aoi didn't have the heart to think about the Otemachi platform anymore.

It's too late now, let's wait until tomorrow.

It would be best if Daikokuten-sama could handle the things brought from the platform, after all, every time something strange happened, Tsurumi Aoi would dream of the strange statue of the angry god enshrined by the family.

If there is still an abnormality in your body tomorrow, then contact your father.

Although Yoshikoji Temple has declined, it still has the connections of the official countermeasures room.

Tsurumi Aoi took a simple shower and lay down on the large soft bed, but because she was too tired, she quickly fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took.

She had a dream and was more clearly aware that she was asleep.

This situation is familiar to Tsurumi Aoi.

Later, in her dreams, she would see the statue of Daikokuten, which was different from other temples, and the god of good fortune would protect her.

In this way, the abnormality on the body should not be a problem.

The dream was chaotic and dim.

Soon some silhouettes appeared.

But then, for some reason, Tsurumi Aoi didn't see the familiar statue of Angry Face at the temple at home.

Instead, I saw the wind and snow in the sky.

She saw a few figures standing faintly in the wind and snow in front of her.

You can see black feathers with gold stripes, purple and white undergarments, and red and black dresses swaying in the wind and snow, but you can't see the specific appearance of the people wearing these clothes.

Among them, the red and black dress can attract Tsurumi Aoi's attention.

She also wanted to get closer in her dream, to see the figure in front of her. But then, the floating purple and white undergarment shook twice, and the slender and white palm in the wide cuff waved downward.

Tsurumi Aoi's body suddenly loosened, and several black threads broke from her body.

"Hmm!"

Tsurumi Aoi woke up from her sleep, and her back was soaked with a thin layer of sweat. (End of chapter)
