I rely on the vest to become the lord of ghosts

"'The monster is out'... what is it?"

In a pile of commission lists, Kunikida Doppo subconsciously reread this commission when he saw it.

Tanizaki, who was sitting on the office chair, turned the chair so that he faced Kunikida.

"This is a commission sent by the military and police. At first glance, I thought it was a supernatural event, right? The content is actually very serious."

"Let me see." Kunikida lowered his head and looked at the screen, "Many witnesses said that there was a tall, thin man wearing a black tarpaulin windbreaker, holding a pair of sharp scissors, and wearing a mask who often wandered around at night... The police wanted to warn and educate him, but they found that they couldn't find this person."

Tanizaki closed the page, smiled and said, "Sounds like a supernatural event, right?"

Although Kunikida is still in awe of ghosts and gods, he doesn't believe in everything.

He sighed, then adjusted his glasses, and said, "What about the surveillance cameras? In this information age, there are very few people who can't be caught by the cameras at all, right?"

"Ah...that's the problem." Tanizaki smiled wryly, "Every time I chased after that person, he would end up running into a blind spot and disappearing, even in the surveillance cameras, nothing could be seen. Find After being appraised by experts, it doesn't seem to be a method of magic."

Kunikida nodded calmly: "I see, the military and police suspect that the other party is a person with supernatural powers, so they entrust it to the detective agency?"

"Yes, plus there is such a weird person wandering around at night, some citizens feel very scared, and keep putting pressure on the police. Coupled with his attire, it is easy to remind people of the famous urban legend ..."

Kunikida murmured: "...a girl with a gap? But this seems to be a man..."

"Oh, that's how it is—"

Dazai suddenly rushed out from an unknown corner.

He jumped out and stood between the two of them. This action caused the two of them to take half a step back subconsciously.

The instigator, Dazai, with a smile of interest, pointed to the back on the screen and said, "This is the one, right? The crack man who is very popular on Twitter recently!"

Kunikida was very allergic to his high spirits.

"Dazai, how did you know..."

"Hmph, Kunikida-kun's information is still so outdated~ In this era, as long as you use the Internet a little, you can easily know what is the most popular in this city."

Dazai turned on the phone as if showing off, then quickly jumped into the BBS, and read in a rising and falling voice: "'Urban legends have entered a new era?! Gap women are out of date, and now is the era of rip men—'"

Under the gazes of the two, he shook the screen, then resumed his usual frivolous smile, and said: "There are many eyewitness reports about this man with a slit on the Internet, which can be said to be from the new era. Internet celebrity."

Kunikida frowned, and thought about his partner's words seriously: "You mean, maybe someone just wants to cultivate an Internet celebrity to make such a big deal? No, but in this way, the police say that he is elusive. How to explain things..."

"Kunikida-kun is thinking too much." Dazai said, "For us at this stage, he is just a potential dangerous person who disturbs the law and order that the police are looking for."

After listening to their conversation, Tanizaki paused for two seconds before saying, "It's not appropriate to say this, but I don't think the other party is a bad person..."

Kunikida asked: "...Have you seen that person?"

So Tanizaki explained what happened last night in detail.

The slit man who appeared in horror frightened away the hooligans who harassed them, but he had no interest in him and Naomi, put on a mask, glanced at them and left.

Dazai let out a "ho—" and said, "Although he was bumped into by the man with the gap, he only attacked those little bastards... Could it be that he is actually a law-abiding citizen?"

"And it doesn't match the legend of the Gap Girl...wouldn't they be able to cut their mouths with scissors?"

Dazai made a gesture of scissors with his hand, and made a cutting motion towards the corner of his mouth.

Kunikida breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression became more relaxed: "So, someone is pretending to be a ghost."

"Wait, why did Kunikida-kun suddenly breathe a sigh of relief? Could it be that you were discussing just now with the premise of 'maybe there really are monsters like the man with the slit in the world'?"

"How could such a thing happen!" Kunikida quickly vetoed, he coughed lightly to maintain his calm image, "Probably someone with supernatural powers who can move in space and so on. Then use his ability to build a city legend……"

Dazai echoed: "Hmm! Assuming what Kunikida-kun said is true, then the effect of dripping blood on his body should be props, and the scars on his face should be special effects makeup...Ah, so to speak, it is the same as those who shoot strange things on the Internet. The blogger of the video?"

"Which side are you guys on... Didn't you just say that you want to treat him as a potentially dangerous person? Why did you suddenly become the owner of the oil pipe again?"

"No, no, I'm only on the side that can convince me, Kunikida-kun!" After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Tanizaki, "However, Tanizaki, who is the first party involved, has the most say? What does Tanizaki think of it?" The weirdo?"

"Well, the next thing I will only say in the club..."

Tanizaki saw that their gazes focused on him again, and he said in a slightly hesitant voice, "I don't think that's makeup."

Dazai's eyes lit up: "Oh?"

"The blood on his body, I don't think it's a prop... Well, how should I put it, anyway, I am also a member of the Armed Detective Agency, so the real blood can still be recognized."

After Tanizaki finished speaking, he found that they were waiting for his next words, so he bit the bullet and continued.

"There is also a wound on the face, that is definitely not special effects makeup..."

Having said that, he swallowed his saliva, the scene under the moon that day is still vivid in his memory.

After taking a deep breath, Tanizaki continued:

"When he spoke, he touched the wound on his face, and the wound...opened."

"I, I saw... the inside of the mouth... from the corner of the split mouth."

Accompanied by this hesitant line, the surrounding temperature plummeted to freezing point.

"That's really..." Dazai murmured, "It's not so good."

……

……

At this time, Jiu Yuan, who was completely unaware that his "brave action" behavior had left a little psychological shadow on the rescued person, was cleaning up his new home.

To be precise, he was cleaning up the old house left to him by his relatives.

Two days before he was about to be evicted because he could not pay the rent, he learned that a distant relative whom he had never met passed away and left his old house to him.This distant relative has no children, has been living in an old house, and runs a second-hand bookstore with little business in the house.

Now, it's all Jiuyuan's.

He also asked who this relative was, but no one knew him well.Seeing that he was about to be kicked out of the house by the landlord, Jiuyuan had no choice but to move there first without thinking too much.It was only when I came that I realized that I was taking advantage of it.

Although the house is not new, the original owner cherishes it very much, and the furniture is readily available, just a little cleaning is all it takes.

"So...you just let me be a coolie? Don't you feel ashamed that you are an adult but leave everything to a child?"

The crisp child's voice rang out along with the sound of the paper door being opened, Jiu Yuan looked over with a smile, he seemed to have known who was complaining for a long time.

The black-haired boy stood there, his eyes were reddish-brown, showing a clear luster under the sun, and his pale skin made people worry about whether he was taking proper nutrition.

But at this time, he was wearing a white shirt and red shorts, and he was holding a dishcloth that seemed inconsistent with his angelic appearance... a rag.

It stands to reason that he is responsible for the cleaning work, so the clothes should be stained with dust to some extent, but his spotless appearance is really abnormal.

Perhaps it was more normal for him, though, after all—

He is not human.

Jiuyuan smiled and patted his head, and said, "Thank you, Hanako-kun~"

The boy slapped his hand away and said, "I told you not to call me that, just call me Hua Jun, ha——na——kun!"

Jiu Yuan said "Okay, okay." His hands were still on top of the boy's soft hair rua to rua to smooth the hair for him.

"By the way, please take care of the cleanliness of the study room on the second floor, Hanako-kun~"

"I told you not to call me Hua Zijun!" He angrily pushed Jiuyuan away, "Are adults all idiots? They can't even remember such a simple thing!"

After speaking, he honestly went to the second floor to start cleaning.

Hanako is actually the first character he got. In the words of the system, it was given to you for free after passing the novice tutorial.

This role belongs to Jiuyuan from the very beginning, and he has [-]% control.

But Hanako has a weakness, he can't travel far, he is essentially an earth-bound spirit.

This point should be to restore the setting of "Hanako in the toilet" in the ghost talk. Fortunately, the setting is not 100% complied with. Hanako-kun's movement range is generally limited to the building.

But he doesn't have to be in the same building forever and can't leave, he can shuttle in the building - through the toilet.

To put it bluntly, the toilet is like a portal.

...Although this skill sounds powerful, it feels quite subtle when I think of the portal in the toilet.

Jiuyuan, who had finished rua Hanako, was in a good mood, turned around and walked towards the main entrance, intending to check the situation of the second-hand bookstore.

When he went to school, he asked Hanako to visit the store. Although he didn't expect to sell it, no matter how small the mosquito was, it was still meat.

The sound of the system sounded faintly——

【Master, how does it feel to split into two people, and then fight with yourself...】

Jiu Yuan didn't care about the system's teasing at all, thinking—of course it's great.

Who hasn't imagined that they can divide.body?In this way, one can go to work to make money by himself, and the other can go to play by himself.

Now relying on the vest function of the system, he can easily realize this wish. It is of course great to ask him how he feels.

Just think about these words for yourself, and you must use a more perfect way of saying it when you talk to the system.

"System, only when the boundary between 'Huang Quanchuan Jiuyuan himself' and 'Ghost Story characters' is completely drawn, can the acting speed be improved. If I can't see us as two independent individuals, sooner or later we will show our feet. Come on, maybe the reputation I have worked so hard to save will be destroyed in one go."

The system seemed a little convinced, and gave a half-understanding "Oh...".

Jiu Yuan continued: "If you want to deceive others, you must first deceive yourself."

not to mention……

These characters have their own will and character, and it's not just Jiuyuan talking to himself.

It's like having a conversation with another self with a completely different personality, which is very interesting.

In fact, the character of Hanako can fully turn on the automatic mode, and does not need Jiuyuan's spirit to control it, but he is worried, so he does not completely let go of the character's free will.

Before the system could reply, there was a knock on the door.The door of the bookstore was not closed. After knocking on the door, the other party saw that there was no one inside, so he asked——

"Excuse me, is the owner here?"

Jiuyuan came to the door, and saw two well-looking young people who came.

"What's the matter, you two?"

"We are members of the detective agency." The blond young man showed his ID and said, "Actually, we are investigating a recent case related to urban legends. Do you know anything about it?"
