Tokyo Ghost Diary

Who is he? This question has actually troubled Gen Hoshino for sixteen years.

From a general definition, he should be considered a sixteen-year-old high school student with memories of his past life.

But although this world and his previous life overlap in many places, including the general historical trend, after years of confirmation, Hoshino Gen knows that this is not the earth he was in in his previous life, so considering this aspect, he said that he It cannot be wrong that he is a time traveler.

In his previous life, his name was Ye Xingyuan. He didn't know where he was born, but he remembered the place of death clearly even after sixteen years.

He was born without parents and grew up in an orphanage. When he was six years old, he was adopted by an old Taoist priest. However, the old Taoist priest was also a weirdo. He adopted him but did not let him call him grandpa, but called him master.

Just scream, if you give someone who stutters, he will admit it.

But the old Taoist priest was not only weird, he was also not a good person. After adopting him, he took him all over the country, cheating everywhere, telling people fortunes, showing people Feng Shui tombs, and even catching ghosts and exorcising them. The old Taoist priest I told him privately that he was making up nonsense about fortune telling and feng shui. Of course, Ye Xingyuan didn't care about these things. It didn't matter whether he was a bad person or a liar, as long as he couldn't be harmed.

But when he was seven years old, the old Taoist priest began to ask him to learn those deception techniques. He also said that he had visited hundreds of welfare homes across the country, and he was the only one qualified to inherit the mantle.

Ye Xingyuan was quite happy at first, but he didn't expect that inheriting the mantle would mean practicing drawing talisman all day long. After drawing the talisman, he would step on the horse and then draw the talisman after finishing the step. The process was so boring and difficult that ordinary people could hardly imagine it.

During this period, Ye Xingyuan tried to abandon his disciples and run away several times, but he was caught by the old Taoist priest and forced to continue practicing.

Thinking about the fact that the old Taoist priest was a bit rude when it came to forcing him to draw talismans and perform Zhama steps, he was actually pretty good to him at ordinary times, so every time he was caught, he would grit his teeth and persist for a while, but he could not help but feel guilty in his heart. resisted.

This kind of resistance was not completely eliminated until he was twelve years old, because that year the old Taoist priest took him to accept an exorcism commission from the villagers of a mountain village. That commission was different from the old Taoist priests who pretended to be gods and ghosts to defraud people of their money. The ghost really appeared.

When the female ghost who was not much different from the one in the horror movie stood in the mourning hall and stared at them, Ye Xingyuan almost peed his pants on the spot, but what happened next caused his jaw to dislocate.

The old Taoist priest held a talisman in one hand and a copper bell in the other. He beat the female ghost so hard that she almost knelt down and sang "Conquer". Especially when Ye Xingyuan saw the old Taoist priest rubbing the fireball with his hands, his eyes were straight.

Since then, no matter what the old Taoist priest asked him to practice, he never complained.

Then this practice lasted for five years.

When Ye Xingyuan was seventeen years old, he finally learned all the skills of the old Taoist priest. Not only was he proficient in swindling and deceiving, he was also good at catching ghosts, exorcising evil spirits, and slaying demons.

But it was also this year that the old Taoist priest died. He was too old.

Ye Xingyuan buried the old Taoist priest decently in the landscape of Guilin he loved most during his lifetime, and then embarked on a lonely journey.

As a result, two months later, he had the misfortune to meet a very fierce female ghost during a commission. Not only did he receive a fat beating, but the female ghost also planted an evil spirit mark in his left eye. If it hadn't been for the old man, The Taoist priest left a few black talismans to save his life, and he must tell them where they were on the spot.

Afterwards, Ye Xingyuan was so frightened that he flew out of the country overnight and swore that he would not return to the country until he was able to kill the female ghost.

After that, he developed in the United States and became a slightly famous spiritual master with his "real skills".

But unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After completing a well-paid commission, he was eating kebabs and singing songs on the road when he was suddenly thrown to the ground with a sack and a sap.

After waking up, he realized that he was really miserable. He was imprisoned in a research institute! For a long time after that, he was subjected to various studies and various human experiments. Those Americans really wanted to find out the secret of his "superpowers".

Those days were not meant for humans, so Ye Xingyuan chose an auspicious day to escape from the institute.

But the energy behind the research institute was so great that they sent hundreds of mercenaries to catch him, and the equipment was very scary, including missiles!

He ran all the way, using supernatural powers to fight back. In the end, he became the sworn enemy of the mercenaries. The mercenaries no longer wanted to capture him alive, so they just wanted to kill him.

In the end, they succeeded, forcing Ye Xingyuan to jump off a cliff to commit suicide. When he was halfway down the cliff, he was caught up by a missile and was blown up. He died without a burial place...

But in a strict sense, he was dead, but not completely dead.

I don't know whether it was time travel or reincarnation. He came to this world and opened his eyes again as a newborn.

Here, he is no longer an orphan, with a rich father, a gentle and beautiful mother, and a lovely twin sister. He and they formed a "family" that he never dared to hope for before.

However, he only enjoyed this unprecedented family affection for three years. When he was three years old, his parents divorced, and his sister was taken to live in England by her mother, while he stayed with his father.

But his father was often busy with business matters and stayed away from home, especially after he was in the fourth grade of elementary school. Apart from giving him a huge amount of living expenses every month, he almost ignored him.

But this is not a problem at all for Hoshino Gen. He has long been used to being alone. It might be better to say that this may be more in line with his wishes.

Like a weed, he turned the money his father gave him into nutrients without scruples, growing greedily and savagely. It wasn't until his divorced parents suddenly reunited more than a year ago that he had to wear a harmless weed on himself. The mask and shackles act as a gentle and polite son and brother who are inevitably estranged because they have been separated for too long.

As for all things related to the mysterious side, it is natural that they all turn into the shadows.

He has been living like this until now, and he has long been unable to tell whether he is Ye Xingyuan or Hoshino Yuan.

......

Although there were many thoughts in his mind, looking at the time scale, it only lasted a short moment. Gen Hoshino gathered his thoughts and smiled at Shimizu Yu: "What are you talking about? I'm just an ordinary high school student."

"Huh?" Qingshui Yu suddenly raised his face: "I saw it all. You were clearly in the gym just now..."

"What gym? Sorry, I don't understand what you are talking about." Hoshino Gen interrupted Shimizu Yu with a smile, while pointing to the location of the disappeared forest path.

Shimizu Yu's eyes widened slightly, bastard! This guy is ready to show off!

Hoshino Gen spread his hands, his expression and voice were very gentle: "Hey, how about forgetting what you saw before?"

"What?" Shimizu Yu was stunned for a moment: "How could you forget something like this? And please tell me clearly, the yellow talisman you just used..."

Gen Hoshino shook his head and found a schoolbag from the grass on the side of the road. He patted the dust on the schoolbag and interrupted Yu Shimizu with a smile: "Okay, Shimizu-san, we should not be familiar enough to explore each other's privacy casually. That’s the point, isn’t it?”
