Tokyo Ghost Diary

In the misty village, on the ruins of collapsed wooden houses, the last scattered flames were finally extinguished.

Everything around returned to the initial silence. It was not until a long time later that a subtle "rustling" sound was heard under the scorched ruins. Not long after, a silver krait that was only about the length of an arm emerged from the charred ruins. It came out from the cracks in the broken wood.

A pair of its eyes stared in the direction where the three people disappeared, the scarlet snake Xinzi vomited, and soon it turned around and quickly swam into the depths of the mist.

......

The violent lightning split apart a fierce ghost covered in knife marks, and the Japanese doll porcelain sculpture that fell in the flying light was caught by Gen Hoshino's hand.

On the other side, a corpse covered in ulcers was torn into pieces by the lion and tiger shikigami, and Takasugi Yusuke also picked up a porcelain cup from it.

Asaba Shinichi stood near the two of them holding his demon sword, staring at the wooden attic not far away that was faintly visible in the fog.

This was the third wave of ghosts they had killed that actively attacked them. Including the human-faced snake in the wooden house earlier, there were a total of six ghosts. If these six ghosts were distributed in every corner of a city, then In fact, it's nothing, but if these six ghosts gathered together and carried out planned and organized actions, then this would be a quite terrifying thing.

Asaba Shinichi looked back at the two people who had finished dealing with their opponents, smacked his lips, and pointed to the attic not far away with his sheathed knife: "You two, do you feel it?"

"Creepy." Yusuke Takayama took back the two shikigami, looked at the attic, and said lightly how he felt at the moment.

"Yeah, it's creepy." The corner of Qian Yuxin's mouth curled up in excitement, and his eyes flashed scarlet, but soon, he took a breath and suppressed some uncontrollable impulses: "Although I really want to rush in directly. A big fight, just to be on the safe side..."

While he was talking, he took out a pen and a sticky note with no visible material from his pocket. He held it in his hand and started writing. After a while, he closed the pen cap and put away the pen, then smiled at Hoshino Gen. : "Hoshino, light the fire."

Hoshino Gen raised his eyebrows slightly, not quite understanding what this guy wanted to do, but he still took out the talisman and threw it away, and the talisman turned into a fireball, hovering in front of Asaban Shin's eyes.

Asaba Shinichi threw the sticky note in his hand into the fireball, and instantly, it was annihilated by flying ashes.

After doing this, the shadow under his feet instantly expanded, including the locations of Hoshino Gen and Takayama Yusuke.

Hoshino Gen felt that the ground under his feet suddenly turned into a swamp. His body was slowly sinking. Asaha Shinichi's voice came: "Don't resist, let's go down and hide first. In about three minutes, there will be a group of people here." A round of missiles will clear the ground, and we will come back in ten minutes."

Gen Hoshino, who was still a little resistant at first, immediately gave up the idea of ​​resisting. Just kidding, he doesn't have the ability to dematerialize now, and he doesn't want to experience the feeling of carrying a missile again!

When the whole body sank into the dark and sticky shadow, the suffocation that was imagined did not come over. Instead, it was just that the whole body was soaked in warm water, but it also felt like being in a gravityless space.

In the dark, nothing can be seen.

......

Shuichuan Town Hotel.

"No, there's still no signal." Yuri lowered his phone weakly, sighing and shaking his head at Saya beside him.

In the room, Ryoko and Iwato were lying unconscious on the quilt respectively. The man with gold-rimmed glasses went out to buy food an hour ago and has not come back yet, or maybe...may not come back.

Before going out, Yuri and Saya persuaded him not to go out. After all, they had just experienced what happened last night. They both felt that there was something wrong with the heavy fog outside. They even suspected that the reason why the mobile phone had no signal was related to this. The fog was connected, but Gold-rimmed Glasses didn't believe it, and choked off the two's persuasion with "Are you just going to wait here until death?"

Saya sat on her knees with her head lowered, her face full of self-blame.

After all, regardless of anything else, it was because of her that everyone came here and ended up in this situation.

Yuri looked at the thick fog outside the window and couldn't help but sigh again: "I still feel that everything that has happened is like a nightmare."

"I'm sorry..." Saya's crying voice sounded.

Yuri looked at her, pursed her lips, but said nothing. In this situation, she didn't know what to say or what to do.

If you have to say it, maybe the only hope is those three strange people. After all, no matter how you think about it, they don't look like ordinary tourists like them...

But Yuri doesn't know if they will come back.

--boom--! ! !

Just as they were thinking this, a deafening explosion sounded from a distance. Yuri and Saya subconsciously looked out the window in the direction of the sound at almost the same time.

But because of the fog, nothing could be seen, so Yuri and Saya could only look at each other in confusion.

But soon, the fog outside the window became thinner visibly to the naked eye. Yuri stood up and ran to the window with his eyes wide open.

boom--! !

Another loud noise came, and the fog outside disappeared completely as if blown away by an invisible wind. The street scene outside finally became clear. It felt like a blind man who had been blind for many years. , suddenly regained sight, making people want to cry with joy.

But before the joy in his heart could spread, the third wave of loud noise spread here.

But this time, both Yuri and Saya, who was kneeling in the room, saw a blaze of fire rising into the sky, accompanied by billowing smoke and dust outside the town.

boom--!

Something holding a tail flame fell into the smoke-filled place, and a loud explosion came as promised.

There is no doubt that it is a missile, and there are missiles bombing!

......

In the dark space, no one knew how long time had passed. Hoshino Gen finally felt the rising sensation of his body. Without waiting for too long, there was light in his field of vision again.

The head rose from the shadow on the ground. The fog dissipated at some point, and the scene in front of him was even more horrific. There were scorched ruins and bomb craters everywhere. Only a fire was left in the attic not far away. It has not been extinguished yet, and there are black and gray ruins with billowing black smoke.

It seemed that there were indeed missiles cleaning the ground, and Hoshino Gen could guess the meaning of this. The ghosts were not afraid of physical attacks from thermal weapons, but they were afraid of humans.

Regardless of whether there were others there before, at least after such a round of bombing, in this village that has been completely reduced to ruins, apart from the three of them, the only ones left should be ghosts...
