I loaded the ghost talk game

Changshi.

Aokigahara Mine.

This is the most important spiritual metal material production point under the control of the Takamagahara forces.

Clang, clang, clang.

The sound of metal hitting rock echoes continuously in the long and deep mine tunnel.

Shikijiro is working hard in the mine.

In the Takamagahara forces, Shikijiro is one of the best paid grassroots workers because of the special nature of their work.

After all, in the mine, only this kind of weird talk can be engaged in mining and production.

And Shikijiro's mining skills are very superb.

The structure of the mine tunnel dug by them, even if it leads to the depths of the ground, there is no risk of collapse.

Therefore, the leader Kamiya Kawa never hesitates to invest in the salary of Shikijiro's soul candles.

Those Shikijiro who were newly "recruited" into the forces were originally ragged, skinny, and dull, like a withered corpse.

But through labor in exchange for rewards, under the continuous nourishment of the soul-soothing candles, as their strength increases, they are raised to be strong and vigorous, and even work more vigorously.

As for the 24-member Shikijiro team that was first hired by Kamiya River as the "boss directly", there is no need to say more.

As old employees, not only have each of them become big and sturdy, but they have also acquired spiritual consciousness.

Among them, there are also quite a few who have undergone limb grafting through the "flesh and blood project", and they have basically become small leaders in the miners' team. In addition to earning soul-soothing candles, they can also get a lot of soul crystals and currency for their hard work, which is enough to support the consumption of luxury goods such as food and drinks in the paradise market.

Today, with the efforts of Shikijiro, the Aokihara mine has been mined to a deep depth.

The long tunnels are connected in all directions, and there is a wall-mounted oil lamp hanging on the rock wall every few steps, but even so, the light underground is still dim.

Shikijiro does not have too many complaints about this working environment.

As ghosts who have lived underground for a long time, their vision can adapt to the darkness.

However, Kamiyagawa and Isohime have been planning how to improve the working environment of the Aokigahara Mine.

For example, to connect electric lights to the mine tunnels.

Kamiya had previously captured a considerable number of electronic ghosts. With some territorial areas with modern facilities, it is basically feasible to build a power plant driven by ghosts.

It’s just that laying electricity and entering Aokigahara is a big project, and it can’t be done in one go.

In the deepest part of the Aokigahara Mine.

As the leader of the miners and also a model worker of Takamagahara, "Shikijiro Twenty" is mining ore as enthusiastically as usual.

There is a lantern at his feet, and his four strong arms each hold a handful of mining drafts, smashing the rock wall in front of him that is slightly shining with silver luster, causing sparks to fly.

"Keep digging, keep digging... until more shiny stones are dug out..."

As the mine continues to go deeper underground, the quality of the ore that can be mined gradually increases.

Tin, iron and copper in the soul-enhancing hardware are no longer rare, and even the output of the two materials, Tianyin and Ebony Gold, in the Aokigahara Mine has increased a lot.

And what Shikijiro Twenty is digging now is a newly found Tianyin vein.

The ability to find this vein deep underground in Aokigahara with relatively little effort is also thanks to a magical prop -

[Mineral Needle]

This is the reward that Kamiya Chuan got from the mission of the Omashiki after Xiaolu and Tsurumi defeated the Omashiki and defeated the "Painting Glass".

In appearance, it looks like an ancient compass.

The specific effect is that it can assist in finding mineral deposits and veins.

Kamiya did not keep this thing in his own hands, but handed it over to Shikijiro Twenty.

The current situation is that the ownership of the [Mineral Needle] belongs to Takama-ga-hara, but Shikijiro Twenty has the right to use it freely.

The loyal and simple-minded leader of the mining team never thought too much. He only thought that being able to use the convenient magical prop [Dowsing Needle] was a reflection of Lord Kamiya's respect for him.

In fact, this idea was correct.

Ding Ding! Ding Ding!

Thinking of the respectable Lord Kamiya, Shikijiro Twenty swung the pickaxe more vigorously.

As he moved, several more pieces of sky silver ore fell on the slightly damp ground of the mine pit, making a dull sound of impact.

Shikijiro Twenty collected the silver ore on the mine cart and paused for a while.

One arm reached to his waist and took out the [Dowsing Needle] from a small cloth bag.

The simple compass glowed under the light of the oil lamp.

The needle deflected extremely quickly.

Shikijiro Twenty had been using the [Dowsing Needle] for a long time and had already mastered the use of the prop.

This compass does not indicate the direction.

The direction of the pointer only indicates the location of the mineral deposit.

The greater the deflection of the pointer, the higher the quality of the mineral deposit found, and the closer the current location is to the location of the mineral deposit found.

"It seems... it is turning very strongly..."

Shikijiro 20 muttered to himself, and a little joy appeared on his dark face like steel.

It seems that something good has been found.

The Aoki Mine can currently produce four kinds of "spiritual metals" including Tianyin Mine, but the highest grade gold mine has never been found underground.

Now the [Mineral Seeker] reacts violently, maybe the "Genjin" has been found?

Shikijiro held the ancient compass in his twenty-first hand, and picked up the mining pick with the other three arms, carefully identifying the position in the deep tunnel.

After finding the indicated direction, he waved the mining pick in his hand vigorously again.

Clang! Clang!

The solid rock was cut effortlessly.

Nearly half an hour passed like this.

Shikijiro Jiro, who has rich experience in mining, found that there was something vaguely wrong with the feel of the mining pick in his hand.

clang!

Another swing of the pickaxe.

Several rocks collapsed into the rock wall.

A narrow gap appeared on the rock wall in front of Shikijiro Twenty.

And the pointer of the [Ore Searching Needle] is pointing here.

After intuitively assessing that the structure of the mine would not collapse, Shikijiro Jiro tried to open the gap.

After a few picks, he smelled an extremely old and ancient smell coming towards his face.

The smell seemed to have been frozen for hundreds of years. As the rocks fell and the dust slowly floated, it was indescribably old, sharp and pungent.

Squeak——

Shikijiro Twenty raised the lantern he had placed at his feet.

In front of him was an endless dark abyss that suddenly opened up. The light of the lantern was not enough to dispel the thick black, and could only lick its surface.

"That is……"

But with his eyesight adapted to underground work, after a while of relaxation, Shikijiro Twenty still vaguely saw what was under the black abyss he found——

It was an existing cave passage.

I don’t know whether it was artificially mined or formed naturally.

At the end of the mine as far as the eye could see, Shikijiro Twenty saw the outline of a heavy golden building.

That is, the torii gate.

A huge golden torii is blocking the end of the tunnel below.

The torii gate, which represents the power of the gods, is deeply embedded in the ground of the Aokigahara mine, reflecting the strange golden light. As for what is in the darkness after passing through the torii gate, it is completely unclear.

Shikijiro was stunned on the spot.

He didn't know what he had dug. He only felt that there seemed to be some terrifying power hidden in the deeper underground that made his soul tremble.

Looking at the [Ore Searching Needle] in his hand, it first pointed at the golden torii gate.

Then it started spinning almost wildly and disorderly.

The compass trembled violently and was almost about to fall off.

"Brother...found the gold...?"

Another big-bodied miner "Shikijiro Shiba" who was working with him saw his eldest brother standing still, raised his three strong arms and came closer curiously.

But before he could get close to the newly dug hole, he was grabbed by the back of his clothes with great force by "Shikijiro Twenty", unable to move.

Although the captain of the miner team is simple-minded, he is the first among Takamagahara Shikijiro to have a clear mind. He always keeps in mind the most important mine safety rules——

Once an abnormality is discovered, report it to the superior immediately.

Shikijiro Twenty tightened his grip on the [Searching Needle] and pulled his younger brother back:

"Something's not right...let everyone leave the mine...let's go find Mr. Ishime...find Mr. Kamiya..."

…

Eternal life.

Ciji Hospital.

Kamitani took the time to come here today to visit Takiyashahime, who was still reshaping her body.

There are many people of the opposite sex everywhere in the world, who are trapped in specific places for various reasons, and need him to visit them from time to time and keep in touch with each other.

This can also be regarded as an important part of the work of the young co-leader of ghosts and gods.

Squeak——

In the abandoned operating room in the center of the hospital, the door covered with thick scarlet flesh was pushed open by Kamiyagawa from the outside.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, the princess who was rooted in the operating room shuddered subconsciously.

But when she saw the person clearly, her expression relaxed a little.

"Really, why don't you knock on the door and say hello? I thought it was the foot saleswoman who came again." Taki Ji said with some anger.

The Foot Seller didn't always stay here at Ciji Gui School.

Her position in Gao Tianyuan's forces is equivalent to that of a flesh and blood doctor.

Compared with Prajna, who has mastered the properties of "medicine", the flesh-and-blood healing method of "I Xunsi" by the selling mother-in-law appears to be unique.

Prajna, on the other hand, basically does not move within the force.

Therefore, the foot-selling mother-in-law occasionally has to do some treatment work for various weird stories in the power.

For her, it is another kind of clinical trial.

Kamiya looked at Takihime and spread his hands: "Are you so afraid of her?"

Compared with the original state where only a beautiful head was left, her physical condition has improved.

It should be considered... getting better.

The black curse lines extending from her neck have obviously increased in number, like a small bush with lush branches.

And among the black lines of the "bush branches", a bright red heart beating healthily can be seen.

Taki Ji bit her neat silver teeth and said, "I didn't like doctors when I was very young!"

“It’s not good to hide a disease and avoid medical treatment.”

Kamiya just laughed.

It's interesting that this princess is also afraid of something.

"Hmph... Okay, I admit, the foot seller is indeed very powerful. It would be better if she stopped asking me to cooperate in doing those weird experiments."

"But you grow so slowly. It took you so long to only grow an extra heart."

"It's good to be like this now. I'm not Qingliu possessed by the Dragon God."

"When Prajna contains the divine skeleton of Anyu Jiamei and accepts the power of the Dragon God, combined with the flesh and blood skills of the old woman selling feet, it should help you to reshape your body, right?"

"I think so."

Kamiya walked closer to Takiji, took out a small wine cup and shook it in front of her: "I brought you some wine. Seaweed wine is a specialty, do you want to try it? By the way, can you drink now?"

"My tongue is not broken, and it's too boring to stay rooted here and can't move. Feed me, ah——"

Takiji said, facing the Kamiya River, slightly opening her small lips, and you can see the soft tongue in her mouth gently rising with the movement of opening her mouth.

With only her head and heart, she can only wait to be fed like this.

Kamiya tilted the wine cup and poured the seaweed wine along Takiji's lips and teeth.

But the princess, who only had her head, struggled violently, leaning back to break free, the sweet wine dripping down her mouth and hair: "Ahem... Be gentle, it's all flowing into my nose!"

"Ah, sorry."

He readjusted his movements and fed Taki two more sips of wine.

Kamiya saw the moist water flowing along the black line on her neck and into the flesh and blood of the ground where it was rooted.

"Hey, Kamiya." After tasting the wine, Takiji breathed a sigh of relief, and her face became slightly rosy. "How is her love?"

"I went to the countermeasures room to see her a few days ago. Miss Saotome is doing well. It seems that she gets along well with my two apprentices. Oh, she is very worried about you."

Takiji shook her long hair: "Then tell her that I am also fine."

"Yeah."

"By the way, in fact, I just wanted to find you these two days."

"What's wrong?"

"... I can't say, I'm a little uneasy."

"Want to seek comfort?"

"No! It's just... I feel like something will happen recently."

Hearing this, Kamiya's face became a little more serious: "About what? Aoyagi, or Omaji?"

"I can't say it after all." Takiji first looked at Kamiya with contempt, but then lowered her head in thought, "Maybe Omaji."

This Yashahime "died" once in the battle with Anyu Kami.

Logically speaking, the connection with Omaji has ended.

But...

Maybe she can still feel something.

"So far, most of the Omaji have fought with me, except for Zishi, Yinshi and Haishi. Among the three Omaji that I have never seen, Zishi and Yinshi should be considered special..."

"Haishi is also special. He manages the Omaji organization, and no one knows his identity."

"Let's just assume that you have a premonition that Omaji will cause chaos again. Will it be one of these three, or another new addition?"

"I don't know. My premonition is not necessarily accurate. I'm just a little uneasy. I don't know if my inspiration has been strengthened because I died once under the influence of Anyu Jiamei. But speaking of it, even if there is a new Omaji, those minions can't be your opponent. I'm just afraid that - Hey, Kamiya, feed me another sip of wine."
