The Mystery of Fangshi Edo

The news that Kokichi was protected by the Ubuyashiki clan quickly reached Fangishi Yangming.

If the conjurer got the information, he would definitely take him back for interrogation at all costs, but in Tianyin's enchantment, even people with probing spells would find it difficult to find him in a short time Come out, especially when the strongest Wujo Satoru refuses to cooperate with the investigation.

"I have more important tasks to do here. The opponent is just a student, not from the Tokyo High School. What does it matter to me?"

With an attitude of taking it for granted, he quickly distanced himself from the matter, an attitude of indifference to the existence of the traitor, which made An Geji feel annoyed and inexplicable, but she could only do nothing on the surface explain.

If only he had other plans... if not, she couldn't help it.

"It's a bit confusing, and it feels like it's time to sort out the status quo a little bit."

In the temporary residence Nori Seinosuke found (actually one of Nori's old houses), Fangishi Yangming sat at the desk, typing on the computer while talking.

【"Oh, are you finally going to do this?"】 Shinna Myokami's tone was surprised, 【"I thought you were going to keep your voice silent until the end."】

The young man laughed dryly, and then began to talk about his thoughts.

First of all, a big event will happen at the end of October. There are many participants, which can be roughly divided into the following categories: First, the curse spirits gathered around a certain existence that occupied Xia Youjie's body. Subvert the status of human beings, and create a world where only curse spirits exist.

"Although I encountered a lot of troubles after I joined, they are the most pure-minded ones," Fang Shi Yangming sighed, "In the end, they will probably be sold, and they will be used as pawns by that unknown thing, and they will most likely be sold in the end." Absorbed into a part of the magic spell."

【"I can see that too."】Shinna Myoshin nodded, 【"So? What does that 'Xiayou' want to do?"】

"More information is needed, but what can be concluded now is that he is secretly promoting a certain ceremony."

There are nine central pillars and one large pillar, and those nine people are all great figures who participated in the salvation of the world in their previous lives. With such a scale, the things that need to be suppressed will only be relatively powerful.

【"According to Ubuyashiki... King of Ghosts?"】

"Although he is also very suitable as a representative of hell, I don't think it is an 'existence that has been crusaded once'."

At least according to Fang Shi Yangming's understanding of 'Xia Youjie', the other party would not bother to summon a monster that died hundreds of years ago.The demise of the ghost itself has proved that this kind of creature cannot defeat humans, so at most he is a little curious about them, so as not to make such a big fuss.

【"What would that be?"】

"It is something that truly represents hell." Fang Shi Yangming replied firmly, "In other words, it is an evil god who has the concepts of 'hell' and 'abyss', and regards them as his power—in this way, he and his Some people at the upper echelon of Xianggoulian's magic circle can truly control hell in their own hands."

In other words, on the bright side, he helped the curse spirit to create chaos, and he profited secretly.

And for the curse spirit who doesn't know the concept of "god", it is estimated that this existence that stands on the opposite side of human beings will simply be regarded as an ally.

Shen Nai was silent for a while, and then asked calmly: 【"In that case, why did you help him?"】

"Well, even if I don't intervene, Zhongzhu will still restore his memory one by one," the young man said with a wry smile, "and to be honest, the situation will only get worse than it is now."

【"This is not a reason."】

It was too calm, and there was even a sense of ruthlessness in it.

No, if this continues, you may lose the trust of the raccoon god.

"I just think that instead of watching the enemy's plan succeed, it's better to control the progress and information in your own hands." He said frankly, "It's impossible to stop it. I'm afraid the ceremony has already been carried out in the past, isn't it? It’s something that can be ended by killing someone.”

【"...Will you stop that guy from coming?"】

"Of course, even if you really want to let the evil god appear, I don't want it to be like this. I prefer to make the rules of the game myself than to explore around in other people's games."

【"It's rare for you to be so frank."】

Hearing this, Shinna Myoshin's tone finally relaxed again.

"When am I not being frank?" Fang Shi Yangming muttered, and then asked, "Well, there is one more thing—this is just my feeling, but did you have any trouble with that evil god?"

【"...Compared to this, your current situation analysis is over?"】

The young man who had been diverted from the subject thought for a moment and said, "Then let's continue."

Cursing spirits, 'Xia Youjie', and then humans in the magic world can be roughly divided into conjurers and curse masters. The latter can simply be listed as enemies, but most of the former are following the orders of the upper echelons, so although they are The goal is to exorcise the cursed spirit, but it cannot be dealt with simply.

What's more, except for Serizawa Chiemi, Misamine Mitsuji, and Gojo Satoru, the other conjurers are standing on the opposite side of themselves.

Then there is the reincarnation of the pillars centered on the Ubuyashiki clan. They are independent from the conjurer organization, and their purpose is only to protect the related parties of the ghost killing team, and to help the party that is beneficial to human beings within their capabilities—only At this point, it is impossible for them to cooperate with the upper echelons of conjurers who are obviously problematic.

【"The last one is the one who stopped the water, right?"] Raccoon took over the conversation, 【"But I always think there's more to it."】

"Of course, plus the legacy of the Salvation Ranch (Miya and Ideal Case), a certain cursed king possessed by a male high school student—the center of the vortex is so chaotic that it makes one's brain not enough."

While smiling and talking, he kept typing.

"And I've been thinking about it lately—why 'Xia Youjie' allowed me to intervene in this ceremony."

It would be unbelievable to say that he took a fancy to his talent. Even if he was successful in playing the role of a super-level curse spirit, it was not a reason for him to intervene in the center of the incident.

It is necessary for him to have 'something' himself.

It's very clear when you think about it this way.

——The ghost he found, who was once an evil ghost, Ji Guoyan Sheng.

"'Big Pillar'...."

Fang Shi Yangming closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he sent the email.

【"I wanted to ask just now, what are you writing?"】

"A request, send it to the relevant person at the obstetrics house, Kosaki...or it would be more appropriate to call her Butterfly Ninja." The young man replied, "She has also awakened the art, so I would like to ask her to teach Ms. Rikako how to Train your strength."

【"Oh, aren't you afraid of butterflies falling into spider webs?"】

"how come."

He had read some information about the ghost killers, so he knew deeply that the opponent was definitely not the type that was easy to deal with.

……

Another weekend, Kanae got on the tram home from university.

Butterfly Shinobi sent her a text message before, saying that she needs to go to a friend's house to study something about chemistry recently, so she will come home later and ask her to have dinner with her parents first, and don't care about herself.

"How could you not care..."

While answering Shinobu with a 'yes' message, Kanae was thinking about what to cook for Shinobu, thinking of going to the supermarket before arriving home in a while.

The tram shook slightly and kept moving forward. Although there were not many people at the beginning, when the time approached the evening rush hour, the carriage began to become a little crowded. She gave up her seat to a mother with a child and was going to find someone close to the door. position standing.

"Excuse me, is this yours?"

Such a voice came from behind, Kanae turned her head and saw a boy dressed as a high school student with short black hair and holding a pendant in his hand.

"Ah." She glanced at her bag, and found that the place where the decorations were originally hung was empty, so she quickly thanked, "Thank you."

"No, it's fine."

The boy seemed a little indifferent, and handed over the pendant, but when he saw Kanae's eyes, he suddenly froze for a moment.

"what happened?"

"...I," he thought for a moment, said, "I feel like I've seen you somewhere?"

"Really?" It might sound awkward to others, but Kanae didn't care, and just smiled at him gently, "Actually, I also feel this way."

The boy has a pair of pink and purple eyes, very similar to his own and Shinobu's.

Maybe I've seen it somewhere.

……

Zaomen Kazakhstan was able to go home with his younger brother Zaomen Tanhiko today, but recently the school sports festival was approaching, and his younger brother's class, Purgatory Momojurou, suddenly had to withdraw from the competition, so Tanhiko was entrusted by his classmates to replace him. Recently, I have to stay for training after school.

After doing this, that guy probably will spend the weekend in sleep.

Thinking of how much his younger brother loves to sleep, Bi Fang couldn't help but sighed. Before, he had the experience of waking him up 28 times in a row and failed all of them. He was too tired to care about it.

He stepped onto the tram home and returned the dropped pendant to a woman who was presumably a college student.

I always feel a little familiar, like someone in a painting left by my great-grandmother that I saw when I opened up old things.

It seems that the surname is Butterfly... or something, I can't remember clearly.

Thinking on the other side of the kitchen door, he turned on his phone and checked the time. He wanted to leave a text message to his brother asking when he would be back at night, but found that there was no signal here.

Poor signal on the tram is normal and not something to be concerned about.

So he put the phone back in his pocket, and looked at the city view outside the car door window.

"boom--"

The sudden sound made him subconsciously pause, and the scenery in front of him was also blocked. It turned out that a parallel tram was coming, passing the one he was riding at a slow speed.

Strange, have there been parallel trains at this time before?

...Maybe it's an added line.

Thinking like this, he was about to continue looking at his phone, but suddenly saw a person in the opposite carriage.

It was a woman with a single ponytail on the side of her head, wearing a black uniform similar to a placket, and a white shawl.

Moreover, she has a pair of pink-purple eyes that are exactly like her own.

"..."

Those eyes were full of worry, and his mouth seemed to be saying something.

is she talking to me

Through the car windows passing by, the other side of the stove door seemed to realize something, and tried to focus on the other party's mouth shape.

"Quick...get off the car?"

What do you mean?

Before he could figure it out, he suddenly found that the woman's figure had disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes went dark, and he fell down along the car door.

—with the other passengers on the train.

The author has something to say: The parallel train is inspired by the chapter of the parallel buried train in the Japanese classic horror game Tomorrow series. If you are interested, you can watch the live action of retoruto (it’s quite scary, but the radio waves will feel a little strange to strange places. Grass x)
