Tokyo Ghost Diary

"Okay, don't cry. Didn't I remind you not to be too afraid when facing ghosts? If you are braver, the thing in your hand will not be extinguished directly. As long as the thing is not extinguished, just rely on it. Those remnant souls can’t even get close to you.”

Yu Shimizu cried even more aggrievedly, and Gen Hoshino looked amused: "Okay, okay, actually you did a good job. You can persist for so long without breaking down. You are indeed braver than most people in the world. Many people do not have When you have experienced a truly terrifying scene, you may be able to scream and think that it is nothing more than that, but when the real thing comes, there are not many people who can hold on. At least you are better than those who can only talk."

"And if the situation just now were an ordinary person sent by the special task force, he would most likely be dead... Think about it, if you choose to retreat today, you will be a person who is happily having dinner with your family. , should be lying on the ground without making a sound, and a family will be torn apart in this moment. Or to put it more bluntly, you successfully saved an innocent person and a family. "

Hoshino Gen spoke with a faint smile on his face: "So, will you feel better?"

As expected, the crying gradually subsided. Qing Shuiyu pouted and sobbed: "You...how did you know that I was in danger?"

"I didn't know that you were in danger, I just knew that a ghost had appeared." Gen Hoshino spread his hands and said, "The phone suddenly went silent, and you haven't appeared in the corridor on the second floor for a long time. This is obviously not normal."

Shimizu Yu was speechless, or she was a little exhausted and didn't want to talk.

Genya Hoshino quietly folded his arms and leaned on a desk, smiling as he watched the idiot wipe his tears.

He is really an idiot. The feeling of being on the line between life and death is not pleasant. Most people will never think about it a second time after experiencing it once, even he is no exception. But this idiot, after learning the lesson from the last gym, he still Instead of staying in that ordinary world and being a carefree ordinary person, he still rushed to get here.

But fortunately, at least I can realize that ordinary people can't deal with evil ghosts. When I mentioned that I wanted to investigate supernatural events before, I also knew that if I had to face evil ghosts, forget it.

He learned a lesson, but not much. After all, as soon as he heard that ordinary people were needed, this idiot came on board again without saying a word.

After experiencing the last experience in the gym, she should know what it feels like to be extremely scared, but she still came here so that others would not have to stand here in her place.

To be honest, if I hadn't known him for so many days and knew what kind of person this idiot was and how brilliant his humanity was, Gen Hoshino would have doubted whether this guy was some kind of hidden boss who deliberately acted like him in front of him.

Looking at Shimizu Yu's aggrieved expression, Hoshino Gen smiled unconsciously, but it was precisely because this guy was a fool with a big heart, a rare guy in this society who still had a glorious humanity, that she was able to reach where she is now. Isn't it a step? After all, anyone with a slightly bad intention would have been killed by him long ago...

After a long time, seeing the gloomy sky outside getting darker and darker, Hoshino Gen finally smiled and said, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

Shimizu Yu sniffed, nodded, and said with a nasal voice: "Okay."

"That's ok, can you still hold on? If not, I'll take you out. If it's ok, come with me to the top floor to have a look."

"...Do you still need me?" Shimizu Yu asked in a low voice.

"Hmm... It's hard to say. After all, although the intelligence says that the evil ghosts here will not take the initiative to attack those who can pose a threat to them, it does not say whether people who successfully attack them like me now will attract hatred, so It's best if you can keep up. It's a layer of insurance. If you can't, it doesn't matter. I can go up and try my luck myself." Hoshino Gen didn't mean anything.

Shimizu Yu paused for a long time, maybe because he was doing some mental construction, or maybe because he was hesitating whether to give up, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and said: "Anyway, we have reached this point. If we fail today, we will have to do it again tomorrow." Come on! If I don’t go with you, someone else will go..."

After saying that, she had already walked to Hoshino Yuan, with a look of death on her face that had not yet wiped away the tears.

Hoshino Gen chuckled and shook his head, put his hands in his pockets, and walked out of the classroom.

......

"By the way, how did your knife... appear and disappear again?"

"The method of alchemy is similar to the thing on your arm." Hoshino Gen said casually while walking on the stairs.

Shimizu Yu, who was following Hoshino Gen, nodded clearly: "You look very handsome. Is it the knife you got in the gym?"

"Ah."

"What are the remnant souls you just mentioned? Aren't those in the classroom... ghosts?"

"No, the concept is quite complicated, but to put it simply, the remnant soul is the puppet of the evil spirit. It has no carrier, no obsessions and thoughts of its own..."

Just as he was talking, Hoshino Gen's footsteps suddenly stopped, and Shimizu Yuu who was following him also stagnated.

Because the stairway leading from the fifth floor to the sixth floor...that is, where you are staying, is blocked by a pile of debris. Wooden boxes, desks...and all kinds of miscellaneous ventilations fill the stairs completely. I just deliberately prevent people from going to the top, but I don’t know if this is man-made or...

Hoshino Gen had no intention of taking this route, so he turned around and said, "Go to the stairs on the other side and have a look."

Yu Shimizu had no objections and followed Gen Hoshino honestly.

However, as expected, the stairs on the other side are in the same condition, and there are even a few extra pieces of school uniform to fill in some gaps.

"Now...what should I do?" Shimizu Yu crossed his arms to keep himself warm - I don't know if it's an illusion, but I always feel that the higher the floor, the lower the surrounding temperature seems to be.

Gen Hoshino stood in front of the stairs and pondered for a moment. After thinking about it, he took out a piece of talisman paper and flicked it. A fireball the size of a basketball appeared on his palm. He threw the fireball towards the stairs. The debris on the road then dragged Yu Shimizu back two steps.

boom!

In an instant, the fire ignited and spread throughout the corridor in the blink of an eye. The terrifying heat quickly dissipated the coldness in the air, and the fire burned the dark corridor into a bright light.

Shimizu Yu opened her mouth, but quickly closed it. Although she felt that this method was too hard-core, but considering that it was Gen Hoshino who set the fire, she felt that this was quite normal.

Time passed by, the sky gradually darkened, and the fire that burned the debris into ashes also gradually extinguished.

Rumble!

There was another burst of thunder, followed by heavy rain.
