Tokyo Ghost Diary

With his cell phone tucked into his pocket and his contract in his schoolbag, Gen Hoshino walked relaxedly on the street under the warm afternoon sun. Pedestrians came towards him or passed by.

There are students in school uniforms laughing and laughing, tourists who can dress freely and roam freely, livestock in suits hurriedly walking, and old people pushing carts home after shopping for groceries.

All kinds of things in the world are happening on the streets of the city. Gen Hoshino walks through them with a faint smile on his lips.

......

The tram clanked forward, passing through the streets and alleys and past the tall buildings.

Hoshino Gen did not go home, but went to an antique store.

Throwing his schoolbag aside, he sat behind his usual desk and took out the mobile phone wrapped with a red string again.

The mobile phone belongs to the young name Bai Nai, a familiar latest model of iPhone, with a cute little white rabbit pattern printed on the phone case.

Hoshino Yuan turned it around in his hand and looked at it for a moment, and finally his eyes returned to the screen in the gap in the red rope.

Chi-chan, whose face was as pale as a dead corpse on the screen, had stopped moving. She stood so quietly inside the screen, looking out of the screen unblinkingly with her empty, lifeless eyes.

Gen Hoshino thought for a while and untied the red string on his phone. Then, before Qian-chan on the screen could make any move, he took out a bright yellow talisman from nowhere and stuck it on the back of the phone.

Without the obstruction of the red rope on the screen, Qian-chan's appearance could be seen more clearly.

If you ignore the deathly loneliness and weirdness of the girl, to be fair, Chi-chan is really a very cute girl. She is wearing a long Lolita dress stained red with blood, and a white choker is tied around her long and pale neck. , if most people want to see such a girl, they can probably only search through live broadcast platforms on the Internet.

"can we talk?"

Hoshino Gen looked at Qianjiang on the phone with a smile and said.

In the silence, nothing happened. Hoshino smiled indifferently. Just when he was thinking about what the devil's possession was in his cell phone, his cell phone in his pocket suddenly received a text message alert.

Hoshino Gen's number was provided through a trust relationship, and it would not be an exaggeration to say "noble". Thanks to this, he has never received any meaningless spam text messages.

Gen Hoshino put Hakuna's cell phone aside and took out his own cell phone to check the text messages.

And this look is a bit mesmerizing.

The text message came from an unknown number, and what was sent was a file link.

As soon as Hoshino Gen opened it, the screen of his phone automatically jumped to a screen that looked like a very formal information document.

No. c-104 [Internet Ghost]

Name: Michiko Hamada/Chi-chan

Gender: Female

Age: 15

Occupation: Student (on leave), YouTube anchor

Address: No. 2-43, Higashisaka 6-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo

Date of death: September 2019, 9

After the basic information, there is a long introduction to the life of Michiko Hamada or Chi-chan.

After filtering out some rhetoric that doesn’t make much sense, the content of this introduction in Hoshino Gen’s mind is probably——

Michiko's biggest advantage has been her outstanding appearance since she was a child. Born in a single-parent family, she knows how to use her advantages. When she was a child, she used her cuteness to find many people who were willing to protect her, including strange adults and classmates. classmates, and teachers in school.

Being beautiful is an advantage, but it can also be a disadvantage.

Thirteen-year-old Michiko was assaulted by a teacher in school. Afterwards, she suffered from severe depression. She dropped out of school and was often ridiculed and beaten by her mother.

In order to silence her mother, Michiko chose to become a YouTube anchor and start making money.

Because of her innate advantage in appearance, Miqianzi has gone very smoothly in her career as an anchor. In just two years, she has gone from an unknown newcomer to a popular anchor in the "loli area" who is slightly famous.

When an anchor becomes famous, it is actually very easy to make money. Once she has money, Miqianzi's mother never beats or scolds her daughter. Instead, she quit her job and spends money every day with her daughter's earnings from live broadcasts. .

Life is getting better and better, and her mother's face that used to be angry every day is gradually replaced by a smile, but Michiko is not happy. The rumors and cynicism on the Internet are extremely stressful for a little girl suffering from severe depression. .

The last straw that broke Michiko's little camel's back was the news that she had been assaulted by a teacher at school when it was exposed on the Internet.

When the comment section of her live broadcast room was completely occupied by her biggest fear, her spirit naturally collapsed.

In a particularly cute room decorated for the live broadcast, in front of the live broadcast equipment and computer that she spent a lot of money to purchase, she stabbed her own throat with scissors, and large pools of blood dyed her gorgeous Loli red. tower.

Michiko's life ended at the age of fifteen.

The evil ghost codenamed [Internet Ghost] was born from this young corpse.

......

After reading this information, Hoshino Gen knew who sent him this message. It was none other than the group of people from the special task force.

Sure enough, the official is the official and has a crushing advantage in intelligence.

Gencho Hoshino let out a breath. In fact, his ability to empathize was not weak. After reading Chi-chan's life, he also sympathized with this little girl who died at a young age from the bottom of his heart.

He turned off his cell phone and stuffed it back into his pocket, then picked up the iPhone where Michiko was imprisoned. He looked at the lifeless girl on the screen and spoke again: "Michiko?"

"..."

Qianjiang on the screen moved slightly, her expression sometimes ferocious, sometimes calm, sometimes full of noise. After a while, she returned to her lifeless look.

Hoshino Gen smiled: "You can hear me, don't you really want to talk to me?"

Michiko didn't make any further reaction.

Hoshino Gen didn't care, he turned off the screen of the phone and put it away.

If you're hungry, go home and eat.

As for Michiko... In fact, Hoshino Gen originally planned to go to the antique store to drag the ghost out of the mobile phone and kill it. In his eyes, the carrying object was much more valuable than the ghost itself.

But after reading the document sent by the special task force, he changed his mind. What kind of priceless treasure could be carried by a modern ghost that was only born two years ago?

Let's keep it around for now, maybe it will come in handy in the future. After all, the ability to freely shuttle around the Internet is quite rare.

The master in his previous life also taught him some tricks to control ghosts. The first step seems to be to resolve the twisted resentment, so take some time to visit Chiyoda District.
