The next day, Gu Yun went straight home after school, and his mother didn't stay in the company long and left work early.

Jing Lovely noticed Gu Yun's attitude today, it seemed to be extremely serious and serious, she was a little curious, so she refused the invitation of the little girls and returned home early.

"I went to play with Gu Yun~~"

Putting down her things, the little girl ran out of the house as soon as possible and went to find Gu Yun.

"Gu Yun?"

At this time, Iijima mother and son were standing at the gate, as if waiting for someone.

"Xiao Jing," Gu Yun smiled, "I have relatives coming to visit today, so, I'm sorry, I can't play with you." ”

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay."

Hiratsuka didn't know why, she seemed to feel the meaning of resistance from Gu Yun, and subconsciously returned to the door of her house, and then under the gaze of the maids, she quietly poked her head out of the door and watched curiously.

"This girl..."

Gu Yun shook his head helplessly.

He was going to get rid of the spirit next, and naturally he didn't want Hiratsuka Jing to have anything to do with it

"Guyun-chan~~~"

A stretch car stopped at the door of Gu Yun's house, and as soon as the door opened, a figure rushed straight to Gu Yun, who was waiting at the door, and rubbed it into his arms.

Seeing this, the mother did not stop it, but looked at this scene with a smile.

"Ring, long time no see."

Miyoko greeted Iijima Kan with a smile, and the latter nodded elegantly: "You're still the same, Miyoko, you're all mothers, you can't be as naughty as before." ”

"Hey, hey!"

Miyoko raised her right hand and fully agreed with Iijima Kan's suggestion.

But!

She won't listen!

Mei Yazi: I, Mei Yazi, do things, how can I allow others to make irresponsible remarks!

"Hey, who are you, hurry up and let go of Gu Yun."

"Huh?"

Mei Yezi looked at the little guy beside her, who looked like a cat protecting food, and instantly understood her relationship with Gu Yun.

"Kawaii~~"

So what are you waiting for, Zhengtai plus Lori, it's double the happiness.

"Hey, you woman let go of me, damn it, let go of me!!"

The young Jing is cute, tragically ravaged by Mei Yezi, and finally broke free from the clutches of the devil, where did he still have the heart to consider playing with Gu Yun, and fled back home without looking back.

"Hahahaha~~"

Looking at Jing Kawai's appearance of running away, Miyoko raised her arms and laughed proudly: "Miyoko, big victory!" ”

"Miyoko, scared that kid."

Miyoko's husband's name is Haruki Takakami, and he wears glasses and has a soft tone.

Gu Yun only glanced at him and knew that Miyoko's choice was right.

The blessing of the good god lingers, which means that the other person is kind-hearted, approachable, and a good man to be trusted.

"Mrs. Ring."

Haruki Takakami led a little boy about the same age as Ritsu Iijima, who looked like he was only three or four years old.

"Xiaosheng, this is Brother Gu Yun."

"Gu Yun, Ernie sauce."

Xiaosheng was a little shy, timidly hiding behind his mother and greeting Gu Yun.

"Well, hello, Xiaosheng."

Gao Sheng is the same age as Ritsu Iijima, so Gu Yun has a lot of experience in treating boys of this age.

"Sister Nao."

Gu Yun asked Nao Hayasaka to take care of Xiao Sheng, and she had experience in this area.

As for Haruki Takakami and Miyoko, they went to the living room under the leadership of their mother and Gu Yun to discuss the next work of removing spirits.

Haruki is not a supernatural person, he is just an ordinary person, and he can't participate in it.

He is not afraid of ghosts and monsters.

Maybe it's not enough, but Haruki Takakami is very adaptable and won't make a fuss because of Miyoko's specialness.

For example, now.

"Are you Miyoko's man?"

Empty illusion appeared in front of Haruki, and put on the attitude of the sister looking at the brother-in-law and the father-in-law looking at the son-in-law, looking up and down: "It doesn't look very good." ”

"Hey! If I know you're bullying Miyoko, be careful that I curse you! ”

"You're the Sky Fox."

Haruki Takakami squinted her eyes and smiled gently, "Miyoko often tells me that you are her best friend. ”

"Roar~~"

Fantasy is not a stupid little girl, and such a compliment is not worth shaking her.

"Xiaosheng, this is Lord Tianhu."

Haruki brought Xiao Sheng to the Sky Illusion, the little guy was too young to know the existence of demons and monsters, and he couldn't understand it.

In addition, he did not inherit Miyoko's spiritual power, and he was a pure ordinary person.

"Well, the kid is pretty cute."

Empty Illusion gave Xiao Sheng a powerful blessing, bless him with a safe and happy life.

Divine blessings are abilities unique to the gods, and according to their strength, they can be divided into blessings, blessings, gifts, and the highest level of 'Inari God's protection'.

Among them, the addition is the only one, which can only be given to one person.

The empty illusion was naturally given to Gu Yun.

The power of the protection is extremely powerful, basically there is nothing in the void, and Gu Yun has it.

There are three gifts, which can be divided and given.

Blessings depend on the gods' own abilities, and they need to consume their own divine power before giving it to others.

The weakest is shelter, which is the least effective, but there is no limit to the number at all.

As long as you believe in the gods, the other party can build bridges through faith and then give you shelter.

Of course, the asylum, even the highest level of asylum, that is, the level of the amulet, is really nothing.

Empty Illusion wanted to give Xiao Sheng a gift, and she also knew that Gu Yun wouldn't mind.

Gu Yun has always loved and cared for children, not to mention the children of Miyoko.

However, the gift can only be received by those who have spiritual power, and ordinary people cannot obtain the gift of the gods.

Therefore, in addition to the gift of the Inari God that was given to Iijima Huan before, there are two ungiven gifts in the hands of the empty illusion.

The main function of this thing is to bless the smooth career and good luck, which is a super enhanced version of the Zashiki boy.

Among the people I know, the relationship is good enough for Gu Yun to give the gift of the Inari God, that is, Grandpa and Miyoko, but these people don't open a company, and they don't develop their careers, so it's useless to ask for gifts.

Helplessly, there are still two gifts left, and I don't know how to use them for the time being.

"Sora-chan, you won't bully Haruki, right?"

Miyoko is a little worried, she knows her husband's character.

I remember the first time the two met, Haruki was wearing a doll suit to welcome the new students at the university, and the newcomer Miyoko saw cute things and couldn't resist them, so she shouted 'kawaii' and pounced.

So, Haruki was held by Miyoko and broke his ribs and went straight to the hospital.

"Hahaha."

Hearing this, Gu Yun couldn't help but smile and said, "It's really like your style, Sister Miyoko." ”

"Mother, the rest will be handled by me and Senior Sister," Gu Yun said, "You go and entertain Xiaosheng and Brother Haruki." ”

"Be safe."

Mother looked at Miyoko, "Then please, Miyoko." ”

"Anlahuan-chan, don't worry about leaving it to me!"

"I can't let go of you like this."

"Mo~~"

Miyoko pouted: "Anyway, I'm also a special soul slayer, so give me some trust." ”

"Hey, hey."

Iijima got up and left, leaving the space for the siblings.

"What is a special soul slayer, and there are also levels of spirit slayers?"

"There is no specific rating."

Miyoko explained, "Generally speaking, you have had an example of retreating from a super-level demon, even if you are a super-level soul slayer. ”

In the same way, it is the superior who has retired from the superior to remove the spirit.

The same goes for intermediate and lower levels.

Other professions, such as exorcists, demon slayers, shrine maidens, mages, rituals, etc., can basically be called the same.

"Then, what about the little monsters and miscellaneous ghosts," Gu Yun asked, "What is it to retreat them, apprentice spirit exterminator?" ”

"Flutter, what are you doing with them!"

Miyoko couldn't help but laugh and said: "Miscellaneous ghosts can't interfere with the material world at all, and there are little monsters, their strength is not much stronger than ordinary people, and they live in the deep mountains and old forests, so they won't easily contact humans." ”

Apprentice level generally refers to a soul slayer who does not have any experience in slaying spirits.

But there are also some people who, because they don't have the ability to 'see ghosts' (yin and yang eyes), are not even apprentice soul slayers.

Of course, these people also carry out the work of extermination.

But as far as the soul removal circle is concerned, Miyoko and others, who have spiritual powers, do not approve of this kind of spirit reliever.

I don't even have spiritual power, this is also called peering?

Even Miyoko has her own rules, that is, she will not remove spirits with those who have no spiritual powers.

It's not that Miyoko looks down on them, but she doesn't want them to fall into a crisis.

For example, if an ordinary person grew up under the influence of atheism and suddenly knew that there were ghosts in this world, what would he do?

Some people have mental problems and are paranoidic all day long.

There are also people who will have a great curiosity, and then do all kinds of deaths, harming others and themselves.

"In the circle, most of them are such people," Miyoko said helplessly, "or I've read a few books, or I use the tricks I don't know where I see or hear, and I think I'm going to do the work of removing spirits." ”

Most of these people are liars and can only fool ordinary people.

Of course, if it's just a liar, it's nothing.

The most troublesome thing is that some people who have experienced supernatural events, the probability of them encountering evil is much higher than that of ordinary people, and when they encounter things, it is likely that there are really demons and evil spirits.

has no ability, but it is easy to get involved, and if you don't do it well, you will lose your life.

"It's the same as Grandpa said."

Gu Yun is not surprised, Miyoko himself studied under his grandfather, so it is quite normal that Iijima's thoughts and attitudes are almost the same.

Even Gu Yun himself felt that what Miyoko and her grandfather said was right.

is incapable, unless forced to do so, such as the little bird tour family, they are all chased and killed by curses, and there is no way to avoid it, so they can only fight to the death.

But what if the Toriyu family met not the Iijima family, but some other liar master and mage?

The final result is that the little bird tour family was swallowed by the curse, and the so-called master was also buried together.

For such people, Iijima Ichimochi scoffs.

Well, now that Gu Yun is also added, he also followed and scoffed.

"My words, what level is the previous purification ceremony?"

"There's no hierarchy here."

Mei Yazi couldn't help but laugh and said: "Directly summon the gods, let the demons suddenly descend, and change the heavens and the earth, this is a big taboo in the circle." ”

"We can't keep a blind eye up, but we can't talk about it either."

If I have to say, that ritual has already surpassed the special level and reached the height of the legendary 'living god'.

And most of the credit for this is on Gu Yun alone.

"The present human god?"

Gu Yun was puzzled: "What is that?" ”

"Hmm..."

Miyoko scratched her head, but she didn't know very well: "This, Sora-chan should know more than me." ”

"The present human god, simply put, is like Gu Yun you, a person born with a very high spiritual personality."

In terms of data, it must be at least more than 50 lings before it can be called a human god.

Present human beings and gods are innate, and they generally cannot be attained through acquired cultivation.

Therefore, grandpa and mother-in-law are not at this level.

However, it is the beautiful night child who is completely fused with the flower of the water spirit, and the spirit has exceeded 50, which can be regarded as the foundation of the present human god.

The only thing that is bad is the record.

"Only those who can retreat from the big monsters or the nocturnal walking of a hundred ghosts with their own strength can be called 'modern gods'."

Such an existence, whether there is one in the circle or not, even Miyoko is not clear.

Anyway, she hadn't seen or heard of it.

After all, there is no big monster in this era who will let them retreat.

"In addition to the Demon Cleansing Ceremony, does Xiao Guyun have any other achievements?"

"I have treated an evil spirit equivalent to the level of an intermediate demon, called Gacocon."

"Oooh!"

Miyoko patted Gu Yun on the shoulder: "Isn't this very powerful, then Xiao Gu Yun, you are an intermediate soul slayer." ”

"Huh? It's that simple? ”

Gu Yun was puzzled: "Don't you need any certification?" ”

"What certification?"

It's not a game, and no one is going to give them any proof.

In addition to the level of the spirit master, one is to know it in his own heart, and the other is to be recognized by everyone.

To put it bluntly, it's just a fame, and it's useless.

"Soul slayers, don't they have their own forces and organizations?"

"Hmm..."

Miyoko put her finger under her lips: "No, I haven't heard of it anyway." ”

"If I have to say it, there are only ten leaders in the circle."

There is no such thing as an association in the Soul Eradication Circle, and its gathering only relies on the call of the Ten Sects.

"Special Soul Killer, are there a lot?"

"It's a lot."

Miyoko thought about it and said, "Most of them are old grandfathers and grandmothers, such as the master, and Mr. Tsuba, among the younger generation, I really haven't heard of anyone who has become a special soul slayer. ”

Well, I haven't heard of it except for her.

Miyoko: If there is, count me as a lonely person!

"What about the upper and intermediate levels?"

"Hmm..."

Miyoko felt that Gu Yun didn't have a clear understanding of this answer, so she changed her words: "Only people with spiritual power are qualified to be called soul exterminators, even if they are apprentices, they must also have spiritual power." ”

"People who don't have spiritual power are generally jokingly called 'folklorists' in circles."

They are a group of people who perform exorcism because of their hobbies, and they have never been recognized by the real exorcists.

"The number of soul killers is not large, and even fewer than ordinary people."

Take Suzunose, where Miyoko is located, for example, there are forty or fifty thousand people in a town, but Miyoko is the only one except for the spirit master.

Let's talk about Gu Yun here, the strange talk of the rift girl has been raging in the Tokyo circle for more than half a month.

However, until now, Gu Yun has not seen a soul slayer coming.

It's up to him to do it himself.

"Maybe, but we don't know."

Miyoko said: "But when it comes to supernatural events of this level, ordinary soul slayers can't retreat. ”

Therefore, the first trouble is whether the information is smooth, and the spirit remover can know where the supernatural event occurred in time.

Second, it's enough luck that there happens to be an excellent soul slayer nearby, and he is willing to solve the problem.

"These two points are the dilemma of the soul slayer today."

"Compared to the vastness of this world, there are really too few soul slayers."

Moreover, the soul slayer is not a philanthropist, and the spirit removal itself is risky, and they will not fight monsters everywhere in order to get rid of demons.

Just like Gu Yun now, he will only make a move when the strange talk touches his safety.

"Shrines and gods everywhere can only keep one side safe."

"It's the same with the soul slayer," Miyoko touched Gu Yun's head, "The only people we can protect are the few people around us." ”

They are just mortals, and it is already a matter of pride that one person can protect hundreds of people.

You want to protect tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands.

Even if you have this heart, do you have the time, the energy and the ability?

Don't make trouble, Gu Yun is not a god and Buddha who saves suffering, he also has to live.

"So, don't think about it that much."

Miyoko said, "For the rest of the soul exorcists, in the summer, we will go to Kyoto, where this year's festival will begin, and all the invited soul exorcists will come over." ”

The Three Hammer Family was one of the Five Elements family in the past, and was invited almost every year.

The Iijima family used to have only one grandfather, but in the spirit world, the old man had a very high prestige, and even the mother-in-law of the three hammers said that he could develop a famous family by himself.

"The master is old, so he probably won't go this year."

"If nothing else," Miyoko: "The representative of the Iijima family this year should be you Kotani." ”

In this regard, Gu Yun doesn't care.

He inherited the mantle of his grandfather, so he naturally had to bear some responsibilities.

"You'll know these things then."

Miyoko: "Now, Kotani, tell me about that strange story, is it a rift girl, right, why do you think it will be a rift girl?" ”

Gu Yun told Miyoko in more detail what Nao Hayasaka said earlier, as well as the disappearance of his classmates, as well as the clues that the Iijima family had investigated from both the family and the teacher.

"Tamura-san..."

"I'm sorry, he, there's nothing I can do."

Miyoko shook her head and explained, "People who suffer from strange talk used to be called 'Kami-hidden', and Kami-hakushi causes the memories and emotions of the present people to be skewed. ”

"If it's just missing and the person is still alive, then in the concept of ordinary people, the other party should just be lost and gone."

Likewise won't look for it, won't care.

But there will never be a memory of the other party dying in a car accident.

"Death memories have appeared," Miyoko said, "Kotani Yun, your classmate..."

There is no need for Miyoko to continue, Gu Yun understands that Tamura is completely dead and there is no help.

Tamura and Gu Yun don't have a good relationship, they just know each other.

He is the class president and has to reach out to every classmate.

I remember that it was a very cute little boy, shy and bold, like a small animal, innocent and simple.

"Strange talk, will it devour souls?"

"No, it won't."

Miyoko: "But the souls of those who are killed by the strange talk will fall into the world of the strange talk, and only by destroying the strange talk that killed them can they be freed." ”

The soul is sheltered by the law of the Yellow Spring, and strange talk cannot be swallowed, so it can only be immersed in terrible memories.

For example, make him think he is still alive and repeat the process of death.

In the case of the rift girl, Tamura came home in the evening, met a terrible strange woman, and was then slipped open by her mouth and ravaged to death.

This experience will be repeated again and again.

It's like an endless cycle of reincarnation, which doesn't stop until the soul is tortured into a 'true spirit'.

"The true spirit is the soul's last self-consciousness apart from memories and feelings."

The longer the strange talk exists, the more people will be harmed, and the imprisoned true spirits will continue to accumulate.

Therefore, in this world, strange talk is almost the target of demons, humans, and gods, and it is not an exaggeration to say that everyone is punished for it.

"All things are mutually reinforcing, and there is also this relationship between aliens and human beings."

Strange talk about humans, once encountered, human beings have almost no power to resist.

Even if it is a warlock, unless like Gu Yun, the suffering person happens to be around, the memory of the people around him is corrected, and they don't even know that the strange talk has harmed people.

It's like the police system, if no one reports a crime and they're not there, what do you do with the police?

Do you rely on imagination to make up a case in your brain?

"Fortunately, the demons refrain from strange talk."

"Strange talk wants to be real, and turning into a demon is their wish."

Miyoko: "So the demonic power of the demon has a very strong suppressive power against the demon. ”

Even, once a demon encounters a strange story, if it is similar, it can also devour it and strengthen itself.

"Demons can devour monsters, but they don't dare to devour curses easily."

Miyoko continued, "Because the curse will change the demon's temperament drastically, and even kill it, and reshape a whole new individual with flesh and blood. ”

Curses are extremely powerful invisible forces that can attach themselves to an individual, providing immense power.

Whether it's humans, monsters, weirdos, or even gods, curses come and go.

Therefore, here, the curse restrains the youkai, destroying its spirit and completely demonizing it.

"In the face of the curse, humans, monsters, and strange talkers can't get rid of it."

"The only thing that can deal with the curse is the power of the gods."

Therefore, in this relationship of restraint, true gods, such as the Queen of Water and the Void Illusion, can easily purify the curse and completely eliminate it.

"In the end, humanity restrained the gods."

This relationship is actually quite mysterious, why do humans restrain the gods?

Is it because of faith, that God needs human faith?

"There are many theories about this."

Miyoko explained, "The first is that the gods cannot directly interfere with human behavior, and the second is that human beings, as the spreaders and producers of almost all filth in this world, will constantly cause trouble for the gods. ”

Not only that, but the subjective initiative of human beings can even kill some gods, but the gods are powerless to resist.

For example, the river god of a river.

If humans fill it in directly, what will the river god do?

If the river god is the spirit of faith, the river is its essence.

The river was filled, and naturally it died.

If it is a fish demon or water demon with a physical body, they may not die, but their divine power will be greatly weakened, and they will be homeless from now on, which is very miserable.

"Won't the gods retaliate?"

"How to retaliate, to whom to retaliate?"

Miyoko said, "This kind of thing is not done by one person or two, if someone offends the gods, they can send down heavenly punishment." ”

"But what about a group of people, thousands of people, even if they are gods, they can't do anything to them."

When human beings act with the will of the group, there is a way that the law does not blame the people, and even the gods cannot fight it, so they can only let it go.

Therefore, human beings restrain the gods, and the latter is powerless even if they are disgusted.
