"Qianyuki-chan, let's go back, shall we?"

At the corner of the staircase of a dilapidated and old house, two female high school students explore the lights of their mobile phones late at night, this two-storey one-family building that has been idle since the 70s of the last century has been rumored to be haunted for a long time.

"Afraid of what? Didn't you bring up the topic of testing your guts, Ayako? How can there be ghosts in this world, it's all just urban legends. ”

The taller Qianxue obviously didn't believe in the gods and ghosts, and she had to go up the stairs to death, but when she took the lead to step on the rattling plank to the second floor, the whole person instantly stiffened and didn't move.

"What's wrong?"

The less timid Ayako followed curiously, and at the end of the corridor on the second floor, there stood a woman with a disheveled hair, her face was pale, and she was slowly floating over.

"Ahhh

The two of them shouted at the same time, and Ayako dragged Chiyuki down the stairs in a hurry, but fortunately, the woman's movement speed was not fast, allowing them to run out of the haunted mansion.

"There really are ghosts!"

"It's all your fault, don't run away quickly, go to the shrine tomorrow to pray for blessings and eliminate disasters."

The two people who ran while talking disappeared from the perspective of the window on the second floor, and two white shadows, one tall and one short, gradually faded from the broken glass.

"Huh? Haunted? ”

It's only been more than a month since he entered Waseda.,Trouble came back again.,Fujii looked at Rin Kamiya, who provided the news.,He's been in contact with this kind of thing before.,It's not a person who has strong obsessions or resentments in life.,After death, you can't become a dead soul.,And most of them will gradually disappear.,It won't affect humans.。

"It's near Shinjuku, and it was Zhou Tohei who asked his uncle to ask us to deal with it, and the reward is four million yen, half for each person."

Rin Kamiya said solemnly that this was the first time that she and Fujii Shu took the initiative to help the government deal with a crisis, although it was a small incident with a very low priority.

"Then let's go and have a look, maybe it's the same as the two in the studio last time?"

Fujii Shu took over the task, and thought about it, whether the reward of these two million yen was brought by Shi Yu, a boy who can attract wealth, and the monthly salary of ordinary island people can be 300,000 yen, which is not a small amount of money.

After the last Chinese class in the afternoon, Fujii Shu took out the sword and knife holding certificate from the apartment, the island country's sword management law restricts this sharp weapon on the street, and it is only convenient to go out and carry it with the relevant documents.

Rin Kamiya didn't bring a weapon, just a general event, and it was enough to have one person with a weapon.

The high-end Mercedes-Benz sedan parked on the side of the road, the two got off the car from the back door, the single-family building in disrepair stood in a remote corner, the iron fence of the courtyard gate was rusted and broken, and the weeds were tenaciously squeezed out of the brick cracks to grow, and the whole revealed a desolate and cold feeling, and ordinary people would never go in casually.

"Some time ago, someone called the police, saying that they had encountered a ghost inside, but they didn't suffer any damage, and it should be an existence like an earthbound spirit."

Rin Kamiya magically took out a small stick from the back of his clothes, and tied two white checkered knots at the top, which is the tool that the shrine maidens usually use to sweep the dust of the shrine.

Seriously, can this kind of thing come in handy?

Fujii Tree is powerless to complain, and after getting along for a long time, sometimes he can find the nonsensical side of this kaolin flower.

"Squeak --!"

Pushing open the rusted iron door and making a screeching noise, Fujii Shu took the knife in front of them, and the two entered the courtyard.

In the small courtyard, there are two simple wooden horses, which have been soaked by rain, and the yellowed white walls are painted with children's abstract paintings.

The door of the two-story house was not locked, and Fujii Shu opened it directly, and his eyes were still unaffected in the dark, thanks to the yin and yang pupils of the cat and the monster, and there was indeed a faint breath of death in the house.

After searching the room on the next floor and finding nothing unusual, Fujii and Rin Kamiya walked up the creaky wooden staircase together to the second floor.

"Giggles!"

At the end of the corridor on the second floor, a woman in white crawled out, her hair was disheveled, her face could not be seen clearly, and a frightening sound came from her throat, turning her head and slowly approaching.

Faced with this classic scene in horror movies, Fujii Shu stepped forward and grabbed the woman's long hair and picked her up.

"Huh?! Aren't you afraid? I'm a ghost! ”

The woman's face is very young, probably the age of middle school, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a girl than a woman.

"You're supposed to be scared, right? I'm the one who deals with you, and there's one more, come out. ”

Fujii Shu let go of his hand, perhaps it was his arrogant arrogance that frightened the souls, and from the door of the room on the second floor, a little boy of six or seven years old walked out, the two souls were thirteen or fourteen years old, and the other was six or seven years old, both of whom were minors before their deaths, their skin was pale in color, and their bodies exuded a cold and cold atmosphere.

"Do you need me to do it? Soon. ”

Rin Kamiya behind him waved the dust knot, and the two souls immediately knelt down and pleaded.

"Please let Kenta go, it's all my fault."

"Please let Sister Yuko go, it's all my fault."

They began with one voice, as if they had rehearsed.

"If you want to be forgiven, then be honest, why are you staying here?"

Fujii saw that they had no intention of making a move, and the aura on their bodies was relatively peaceful, and they began to communicate.

"That's a long story..."

Yuko, an older sister, recalls the distant past, and that memory is a little vague.

It was raining in the courtyard outside the house, and the night was dark, and the soaking wet woman turned on her flashlight and pushed open the hidden courtyard door.

"Welcome home, Mom, you're glad you've suffered."

Yuko, who was wearing a sailor uniform and school uniform, hurriedly handed over the towel, they are a single-parent family, their father owed foreign debts a few years ago, abandoned her mother Yoshimura Harumi, her younger brother Kenta, and the second grade of junior high school herself ran away, the family's living conditions are worse day by day, and it is all dependent on the re-employed Yoshimura Harumi to do odd jobs at convenience stores to make ends meet.

"I got an expiring bento from the store, I can eat it when it's hot, so go and call my brother."

Harumi Yoshimura, who was soaking wet, held a few boxes of bento in her arms, and simply dried her body and hair with a towel, only the living room was lit at home, Kenta, who had just entered elementary school, was doing his homework, and the TV was broken and had not been touched for a long time, poverty was the truest adjective for this family.

"I'm moving."

After the bento box was heated, the family sat down at the table and enjoyed it, although it was just a simple and cheap food, but they all tasted it with relish.

"Well, why don't I go to school? My younger brother also has a lot of expenses for studying, and I am so stupid that I will definitely not be able to get into a good high school. ”

After eating, Yuko hesitated to say her thoughts, relying on her mother to do odd jobs alone could not support the expenses of two people going to school at the same time, and she was in school, because of poverty, life was not easy.

"It's okay, mom, I still insist on living, you must study hard, and just repay your mother when you grow up."

Harumi Yoshimura, who looked haggard, squeezed out a smile, and Yuko nodded obediently without rebuttal.

Although the days were difficult, they still passed day by day, until one day, her mother Yoshimura Harumi did not come back all night.

Yuko and her younger brother Kenta waited for the night to turn on the lights, and in the morning they went to the neighborhood a few times to look around, and even went to a part-time job convenience store a few kilometers away to ask the clerk.

"Miss Yoshimura went back on time last night, do you want to help call the police?"

They rejected the kindness of others, and passed by their mother's commute to work, and found a red hairpin around a corner.

This hairpin was given to Yuko and Kenta to save money for their mother, and now they are lying silently on the side of the road, soaked in sewage, Yuko looked at her sad brother, picked up the hairpin, took his hand, and returned home.

"Sister, doesn't Mom want us anymore?"

Kenta is more mature than the average boy, and when he gets home, he speaks, tears falling from the corners of his eyes, and his voice is not as energetic as before.

"No, we'll wait for her at home, and Mom won't give up on us."

Yuko's words to comfort her brother actually don't believe it, Yoshimura Harumi is only in her thirties, and it is definitely easier to find a partner if she is single than with an oil bottle, and it is normal to have suffered a hard life for more than a year, and it is normal to not be able to persevere.

In the days that followed, the memory was completely blurry, and I only felt hungry and cold, and in that winter, I was finally relieved.

Fujii Shu listened to Yuko's narration and sighed, the plot in this bitter drama did not expect to happen in reality, although his uncle Takuma Amami was sometimes unreliable, when he had a car accident a few years ago, he also resolutely shouldered the burden, and even thought about returning to his old business and leaving home to work.

"Where did you find this card?"

Rin Kamiya was used to seeing everything, so she took the hairpin and asked questions.

Yuko said a place name, and Fujii Shu also reacted, one end of the hairpin was broken, and it was generally thrown away that something would not be so forceful.

They said goodbye to Yuko and Kenta for a while, and walked to the corner where the hairpin was found, and in the sight of ordinary people, a woman in a floral dress knelt on the ground, muttering to herself.

"Please, take me home, Yuko and Kenta are still waiting for me."

That night, Harumi Yoshimura was hit by a car and died, the hairpin fell to the ground, and the driver, in order to evade responsibility, took her body away and disposed of, but the ghost remained.

Every time she said a word, Yoshimura Harumi snorted her head, but the sound she made was never known, and she moved in vain.

"We can't help her now, we have to use rituals to attract souls."

Rin Kamiya grabbed Fujii Tree, and she had a solution, albeit a big project.

Please.

Fujii Shu didn't speak, and conveyed his thoughts with his eyes, there were too many sufferings in the world that he couldn't help, but he still tried his best to help with the things he was able to solve.

"The so-called soul attraction,It's a way to transfer the bound souls.,Shrines with real gods have inheritance.,On the way to the soul.,I have to concentrate on the ritual.,In the process, we will temporarily enter another space.,Coveted by the monster ghosts.,You have to protect me.。

On the bus to the Tamahaku Shrine, Rin Kamiya explained the precautions for attracting souls, and Fujii Shu thought of something, and took off a talisman made of five yen coins from his neck, except for a few cracks, it was no different from the usual cheap rune.

"What is this?"

Rin Kamiya took the Goen amulet and felt the warm touch, and the breath of a certain bad god filled it.

"The amulet of the Night Fight God, with which you can summon this god, he should be quite powerful, and the price is only 50,000 yen, which is more cost-effective."

After listening to Fujii Tree's introduction, Kamiya Rin was inexplicably a little disappointed, she swallowed her original next sentence, and originally wanted to take the opportunity to let someone accept the blood of the Jade White Great Ming God to temporarily semi-demonize, otherwise how could she bother with such idle things, just two million yen per person, it is not worth risking her life.

Secretly glanced at Fujii Tree, and didn't pay attention to him until he got off the bus and reached the foot of the shrine mountain.

"Wait a minute."

Rin Kamiya entered the main house of Tamahaku Shrine alone, Fujii Tree was waiting outside, and after a while, he threw out a fluffy Shinnosuke, he took it in his arms and put it down.

"Really, the sleeping Zhengxiang kicked me out."

Shinnosuke seemed to be completely unafraid of Kamiya Rin, and when he crossed his waist angrily, he saw a figure appearing behind the white paper window door, and was so frightened that he hid in the heel of Fujii Shu.

"Alright, let's go, take this guy with you."

A shrine maiden dressed in red hakama and white dressed Kamiya Rin, with another god blade sword pinned to her waist, a string of golden bells in her hand, and her long hair tied up with white linen, as if she had smeared rouge lipstick, her cherry lips lightly opened.

Fujii Shu picked up Shinnosuke, who wanted to escape, and clamped it under his armpit, anyway, normal people can't see it, and it doesn't matter if he takes it.

Set off in Miss Kamiya's royal Mercedes-Benz.,Since April,The eldest lady doesn't seem to care about the shrine being discovered.,Promised Shinnosuke a lot of snacks along the way.,Maybe in the eyes of the female driver,,I'm a schizophrenia, right?

The car drove to a stop on the corner road, and was told by Rin Kamiya to stay away, Fujii Shu clipped the five-yen coin amulet in the palm of his hand and silently recited Yato's name.

In a corner of Tokyo, a drunk man in sportswear was lying on the side of the asphalt road, suddenly got up excitedly and burrowed into a deserted alley next to him.

"Whoever summons the benevolent and generous Yato God, the appearance fee of 50,000 yen is not less."

In the blink of an eye, Yato, who appeared out of thin air, completely lost his intention to drink, grabbed the half-empty sake bottle, and appeared with a big grin, last time he didn't pay back his 300 million yen, and this time is not easy.

Under normal circumstances, he doesn't wear a kimono, and his strength is not bad among the big monsters, which is enough to deal with daily commissions.

"I'll just say, it's on call, and the price is quite cheap." Fujii said proudly to Rin Kamiya, pointing to the Yato who appeared.

"Hey, this guest, please respect me, I'm a god."

Yato reacted with some disdain, picking up Shinnosuke on the ground and wiping the foam from the corners of his mouth.

"You bastard, Baga!"

Shinnosuke broke free as if he was running away, away from this kind of crumbs in the world, and made a guy with this kind of character a god, is it really reliable? 50,000 yen is enough for it to buy a lot of snacks, so it's better to give it all to Shinnosuke-sama, and I'll do it more, instead of being an atmosphere group every time I stroke on the edge.

"Hey, it's 50,000 yen, so please take care of me this time."

Fujii handed over the cash, and the brand-new banknote was printed with Yukichi Fukuzawa, an island educator, and the scent of ink.
