I loaded the geek game

The small, powerful fist with a greenish complexion hit Higasa's chin from bottom to top, causing poor Higasa to fall backwards and hit the ground.

But no matter what, after being punched, Higashino Sa's hand managed to leave the noren in time.

"Ugh..."

Dongye felt a burning pain in his chin, but other than that he seemed to be fine. Even his body miraculously got rid of the weird uncontrollable state.

He fell to the ground and tried to raise his head.

At this time, the glass door of the izakaya had probably been broken, and the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew into the narrow aisle inside the store.

The white warm curtain hanging at the entrance was swaying in the wind, but through the gap between the ends of the curtain and the ground, the two pairs of bare feet covered with purple rashes could no longer be seen.

So, this is considered... being saved?

Although the two pairs of strange feet in the pub disappeared, there was another strange existence here that was beyond common sense.

The girl in the straw hat.

This is a petite girl who can be judged as "cute in appearance" according to popular aesthetics.

But she is definitely not human.

The girl's inhuman features were too obvious.

The exposed skin on her arms and thighs was delicate and smooth, but it had a green sheen. Her palms and soles were webbed, and she was carrying a large, heavy-looking turtle shell on her back.

The girl had a pair of big, watery, and lively eyes, and a high nose bridge, but below her eyes and nose, she had a pointed goose-yellow beak like a bird's beak.

This appearance feature is exactly the same as the legendary Kappa.

At this time, the kappa girl was standing at the entrance with her hands on her hips, looking very proud.

Miyako should feel proud, after all, she saved someone.

Although her way of saving people was to punch the ghost in a desperate situation, at least she helped the other party get rid of the state controlled by the evil ghost.

Moreover, Miyako had held back her strength, and the punch she had just thrown was extremely gentle. If she had really used some strength, the young man in front of her would not just fall to the ground, but would definitely be blown away, with even his jawbone exposed.

In short, the method is crude but effective.

Moreover, the rescued people didn’t say anything and were in a stable mood!

Miyako thought she had done a great job.

In fact, when the little kappa went out to perform the exorcism mission, he learned some information from Kanoya and Tsurumi.

The enemy we have to deal with this time is called "Shengbo".

Specifically, the little kappa couldn't understand so much, and she was not good at thinking about complicated things.

Miyako only knew——

Namahage is an evil spirit.

It seems that its habit is to seek out and attack those "lazy people" who stay in warm rooms on cold winter nights and whose skin turns red because of excessive "comfort".

Miyako felt that the logic of the act of raping someone alive was too unreasonable.

Why should people who stay in a warm room on a cold day be considered "lazy"?

Even Miyako herself likes to stay at home and take a nap next to the warm Hiyaban in this cold winter.

If conditions permit, you should make yourself as comfortable as possible!

So, Namahage are definitely bad guys.

……

The appearance of the Namahage in the pub did not cause panic among the people in the store.

Including the situation where the guest at table 6 walked out of the store and disappeared instantly, in fact, only Higashino Sa, who was standing at the entrance, saw it with his own eyes.

The others didn't have time to react, or didn't notice at all.

It wasn't until Miyiko, a kappa, rushed into the store so brazenly that the others finally started to make a commotion.

However, Miyako didn't care about these people's reactions at all.

Five or six seconds after the little kappa appeared in the pub, the sound of a powerful motorcycle engine rang out on the street. After a burst of tires rubbing against the ground, Shikanoya walked in, dragging a Shengde Imperial incense burner that was red with sparks and exuded a ghostly fragrance.

"Yukino, we arrived just in time!"

Miyako went to meet him immediately.

The little deer looked around, his small nostrils twitched twice, and after identifying the smell in the store, he shook his head slightly.

Not in time.

Kanoya: "The namabara here has injured someone and made him run away."

After hearing this, Miyako's arrogant look dimmed a little, and she was at a loss like a child who had done something wrong.

Xiaolu picked up the imperial incense burner, and patted Miyiko's shoulder gently to comfort her like a big sister. She gave another order in a concise manner: "They haven't gotten far yet. Let's catch up with them."

To be honest, the situation in Akita Prefecture was somewhat beyond Kanoya's expectations.

Tonight, there are an unusually large number of namahage that are openly moving around here and hurting people.

I don’t know what the situation is like with Xiaokui who is now acting separately.

"For your safety, please stay here and do not leave. The police from Akita Prefecture are on their way." Kanaya gave this additional instruction to the people who were making a commotion in the izakaya, and then turned around and left without stopping with Miyako.

Ghost stories in the real world are intensifying and becoming more frequent. As an exorcist and Kamiyagawa's senior disciple, Shikanoya has a personal experience of this.

Kamiya once told her that the frequency of ghost stories in the modern world has increased, perhaps because of the ritual of the ugly woman of Izumizu. The ritual used to revive Ashiya Doman should be considered successful at present.

After all, Ashiya Doman is the former leader of ghosts and gods. Although he has not truly ascended to the throne of God, his strength should not be underestimated.

Otherwise, it would not be worth the trouble for the ugly girl Quanjin to wake him up.

And considering the current situation, it can be predicted that on the day when Ashiya Doman is resurrected, there is a high probability that the whole of Japan will usher in a large-scale Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Kamiya himself is now actively preparing for the battle against Ashiya Doman, and spends most of his time in the world of the living. For example, he is in a "semi-retired" state in the work of the Reality Countermeasures Office.

Without the active presence of this legendary exorcist, the Countermeasures Room would naturally be stretched to its limits in dealing with the increasingly frequent ghost story activities.

Fortunately, Kamiyagawa also trained two good apprentices.

Kanoya and Tsurumi have grown up under Kamiya's protection and have grown into mature disciples. Although Kamiya dotes on his two disciples, he also focuses on cultivating their independence and autonomy.

Today, Kanoya is proficient in many exorcism techniques and has mastered them all. He also has many powerful shikigami who cooperate well with each other. He is extremely good at fighting as a team.

Tsurumi Aoi has many famous swords and sharp weapons at her disposal, and with the blessing of Mary and the flexible assistance of Kosode, she is unparalleled in martial arts.

The disciples have inherited their master's fighting skills to a certain extent. Judging from the current world of exorcism, both of them are definitely the elite among the elite.

At this relatively special time point, Kamiyagawa finally relaxed the restrictions on his disciples, allowing the two disciples to participate more independently in the various exorcism activities of the Countermeasures Room.

Kamiya Kawa was well aware that the two girls under his care would one day have to stand on their own.

But this day came much earlier than expected.

However, Xiaolu and Tsurumi did not disappoint their master's teachings and expectations. Their active performance in recent times has really alleviated the urgent needs of the Countermeasures Room and did not undermine their master's prestige.

Just like the Namahage riot in Akita Prefecture tonight, if it weren't for the involvement of Kamiya's disciples, the situation would have gotten out of control long ago with only the local exorcists and police forces.

……

Akita Prefecture is destined not to be peaceful tonight.

In the bleak snowy night, there were chaotic sounds of people's screams, gunshots, and the growls of ancient and hoarse monsters.

It is conceivable that there will be a new supernatural hot topic on the Internet tomorrow morning.

However, these are not what Xiaolu needs to worry about now. What she needs to do is to deal with all the Namahage that appear here tonight.

"Xiao Kui, I should have found the source of these Namahage! There is a strong smell in the direction of Kurikoma Mountain, and there should be a lot of Namahage fleeing in this direction!"

Sitting on the back seat of Obara Sami's motorcycle, Kanoya shouted this to the little old man sitting on her shoulders.

Tonight, the scout created two clones, each of which followed the two human ladies at home.

Through the little old man's message, the two sisters from the same school can communicate in real time at any time.

"Aba Aba!"

Not long after, the little old man delivered back Tsurumi's reply.

It sounded like the junior sister also started to move towards Mount Kurikoma in the ghost car driven by Oishi Shunma.

Sister Obara drives the motorcycle very fast. As long as the direction is clear, it will only take a moment to reach Mount Kurikoma.

There were no lights on the mountainside at night, and the mountain was blocked by wind and snow.

The atmosphere here was filled with a strong smell of ghost stories. According to Xiaolu's judgment, it was a bone-chilling stench that carried with it the stench of decay and death.

In the dark snow forest, several blurry human figures swayed under the shadows of the trees.

All of the figures were naked, their skin purple from the cold, and covered with red rashes. The only thing they wore was the beads on their left feet, which were either red and white or blue and white.

Those raw skinned ghosts.

All the Namahage had long hair, their eyes glowed a creepy purple in the snowy night, there were only two dry holes where their noses should have been, and their big mouths were full of protruding fangs, which opened and closed, emitting harsh, low roars.

And on top of their heads, there is a pair of... antlers?
Unlike the antlers of red deer, the antlers on the heads of sambar deer are relatively small, not out of proportion to their bodies, and are pitch black in color, growing like dead branches.

A dozen emaciated namihagakure formed a twisted long snake team, stepping deep and shallow in the snow on the mountain forest, staggering towards the depths of Mount Kurikoma.

On a moonless and lightless snowy night, the whistling wind and snow shook the trees, carrying with them the unconscious, hoarse moans of these monsters, which spread and echoed throughout the forest.
