The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

"I kind of want to Open your head now."

"But Hitomi, are you sure you want to do this? It's dangerous, and it will be very painful, and maybe it will leave a scar."

"It's okay, a small problem. Xia Wei's matter... I am also responsible, so I want to solve this matter myself."

"OK then."

Hitomi regained control of her body, and then said to Chief Inspector Kataoka: "I have a way, let me try it. I want to perform a ceremony."

"What ceremony? If it is useful, of course, the sooner the better."

"Hmm... If possible, can I advertise my shrine?"

-

It was already night.In the evening news period, apart from TV Tokyo, which was still broadcasting cartoons, all the major TV stations were reporting on the abnormal weather around Tokyo in the past two days, and the event that some people appeared to be mentally disturbed after being exposed to the red rain.

Because a research institution took samples of rainwater for testing, and found suspected blood components, which sounds very scary.Coupled with the fact that someone witnessed a huge whale-shaped cloud in the Red Rain area, thinking of the recent blue whale game and a large number of suicides, in some TV programs, some guests even threw out "this is God's punishment!" conclusion.

At first, some netizens said, "As long as TV Tokyo is still showing animations, it's not a big deal", but it didn't take too long to say this, and someone on the Internet immediately reminded him, "Something big happened! Go watch TV Tokyo, TV TOKYO stopped broadcasting the original anime and is now airing the Red Rain special! My God, Japan is doomed!"

TV Tokyo is indeed currently broadcasting a special program on Red Rain. First, it played a satellite cloud image. You can see that the clouds in the Red Rain area are moving from the surrounding area of ​​Hachioji City to Tokyo Bay.After reporting the situation, the host began to introduce that in response to the Yichang situation, some shrines and temples in Tokyo also began to pray for blessings.Then, the screen cut to Mount Takao Yakuo-in, where the monks in the temple were chanting scriptures and praying together.Then, the picture was shown on Xiaotong's body.

Xiaotong was wearing a miko costume that fit her identity, and a long knife that was slightly out of proportion to her height was slung around her waist. She was being interviewed by a TV reporter.

Reporter: I heard that you think the recent red rain has something to do with the popular Blue Whale game?

Xiaotong nodded, "Yes, it's better to say that the red rain was caused by the Blue Whale game. It was the invasion of some kind of demon. The souls who were lured to commit suicide by the demon were bound by the demon, unable to escape and often lived Only in places where this kind of vision gathers. I will perform an exorcism ceremony at 4:20 am tonight to try to eliminate this demon completely. If there are victims who died from the blue whale game at home, you can also ask The gods of our shrine pray for the peace of the souls of the victims, there is no need to go to the shrine in person, just make a wish to Tsukiyomi God in your heart, and the gods will hear it."

All in all, it's like the promotion of local tourism and souvenirs that TV TOKYO often broadcasts.I believe that if Xiaotong re-watched this interview by herself, she might be so embarrassed that she would want to pick her toes.

Xiaotong also posted the same message on her long-silent twitter, but with Xiaotong's reputation, the comments she got were of course mainly ridiculed and abused like "Has the fraudster come out to cheat money again", But judging by her appearance, she didn't care about it.

In fact, we didn't need to advertise this at first, it was requested by Xiaotong, and for this reason she also begged for the favor of the chief inspector. If the situation can't be resolved this time, maybe we will be completely regarded as liars.

In fact, I didn't expect that this kind of advertisement, which no one saw at all, would have much effect. I asked Xiaotong, is she trying to expand the popularity of the shrine?But she shook her head and said, "In the past, I didn't like our family's shrine very much. I think my dad wanted to expand the reputation of the shrine with all his heart, just to make money. However, now I seem to find some positive aspects of it. Meaningful, at least, although it cannot bring people back from the dead, at least it can give some sustenance to the relatives of the deceased who are still alive, and let them believe that the soul of their child is at peace."

"Well, it seems that this time for Xiao Tong, we must not fail."

-

At 4:15 in the morning, the sky was still completely dark, but there was already a hint of gray looming on the horizon.

Hitomi and I, Police Officer Usui, Monk Isshin and the others are currently blowing the sea breeze on the coast of Chiba.

According to the cloud map, we followed the migration route of the red rain cloud all the way here.

There were even two reporters from TV Tokyo who followed. They were setting up video equipment, saying that they wanted to take pictures and follow up reports.The fact that the former psychic girl held a ceremony to expel Hong Yu sounds like a gimmick, but even I thought it was very nonsense and a show, which made people wonder how much TV Tokyo did not report on the subject matter.

At 4:20, Xiaotong stood on the sandy ground, stuck Fubuki on the ground, rolled up the sleeve of her left arm, and then took out a paper knife. The tip of the knife cut open the skin of her left arm, and started On the left arm is the image of a whale.

Yes, we are working on the subject of the blue whale game.

That whale can be said to have become an evil god.On Sakurai's body before, I saw a dim red thread of faith, which must be pointing to that whale.

However, this evil god may be a little different.In the moment I was entangled in the blue whale, I felt a part of its perception.There are many perspectives distributed in various places, and there are noisy and chaotic voices in the ear, it is like a large chat room.Therefore, the blue whale may not be a high-ranking god with a unique will, but a parliamentary system in which the consciousness of various people is integrated. The real "one is the many, and the many are one".

And what I want to do is to establish a faith connection with it.

Originally, I didn't want Xiaotong to do such a thing, but because I was dead, I tried to let my arm start to bleed and draw a pattern of a blue whale, but it didn't seem to work, the living person first This element of the resurrection after death seems to have been very important in the ritual.

Now, I am attached to Xiaotong's body, and I recite "I am a whale" silently in my heart with her.

I have greatly simplified the process of this game. Of course, I don't want Xiaotong to be really affected by this game. I just need to give me a line pointing to the evil god.

【I am a whale】.

I felt the pain of the wound on Xiaotong's arm and the sticky feeling of blood slowly sliding down Xiaotong's arm. At the same time, I imagined that I was a whale, a whale flying in the sky.

This world is indeed a bit boring, and I really hope to see a new and interesting new world.

This is my honest opinion, 100%.

Vaguely, I saw a red silk thread faintly appearing in front of my eyes, directly connected to the cloud in Xiaotong's hand.

Sure enough, the big whale never refused to come, and it didn't screen out its own beliefs.

If ordinary people are connected to this big whale, it is definitely not a good thing, and they will be gradually affected by the spirit and lead to death.

But I've been dealing with this thread of faith a lot lately, and you know, the connection goes both ways.

The surrounding environment gradually blurred in my perception, and I felt the wind blowing by me, and the wind carried the salty taste of sea water.

I opened my eyes and saw that I was flying in the air, Xiao Tong's soul was beside me, and there were many other souls flying beside us. All these souls together constituted the body of a whale. shape, no one seemed to notice the two of us mixed in.

I noticed that, unlike the noise I felt last time, the network of these undead was surprisingly quiet at this moment.

After careful observation, I found that each of these spirits floating around me peacefully closed their eyes, as if they were having a big dream.

"Asleep?" I wondered.

It stands to reason that ghosts don't need to sleep.However, the newly dead ghost does retain some of the habits of the former life.In particular, these ghosts seem to be consciously maintaining the illusion that they are still alive, pretending to be serious about going to school, and honestly obeying the school rules and laws of physics in school, strictly observing the time of class and get out of class, and not allowing noise in the corridors Run, not even through walls.Thinking about it this way, it is quite normal for these ghosts to sleep in the early hours of the morning.

Since you are dreaming, let me add some dream content to you.

The ad that Hitomi played actually worked. Until just now, I have sensed a dozen or twenty prayers here, all of which are relatives of the suicide who wish the soul of the suicide to be peaceful, although the power of this wish is small and insignificant , but some memories, pictures, thoughts, and emotions that came with this prayer were also transmitted to me together.

Let these be the elements of your dreams.Since I and these souls are now in the same belief network, I can barely use the ability of my oracle, and I sprinkle the memories, pictures, thoughts, etc. that come from prayers like seeds. In this network.

I wish you sweet dreams.

Chapter 56 Whale Fall

After a while, I saw those souls who were sleeping soundly with joy and joy. Some of them had expressions of struggle and pain. It must be that the seeds I planted had taken effect.I don't know what they dreamed about?Is it the scene of living with family members in the past in the dream, or is it the reaction of the family members after my death?

This may bring a little dissonant tone to the entire network of beliefs, but the impact may not be too great, and it can only be regarded as bait at best.

Xiaotong and I were waiting for the person who didn't sleep.

Soon, someone realized that something was wrong, and a figure came up, and she easily recognized the figures of me and Xiaotong.

"It's you again." Xia Wei said sullenly, "Tong, if you don't want to go to the new world, then forget it. But why do you keep hindering us again and again?"

"Because if you leave it alone, you will keep adding innocent victims." Hitomi replied, "Your death is related to me. It was my fault for not paying attention to your affairs. Now, I can't let this The error continued to expand."

"Hitomi, you are still as hypocritical as before." Xia Wei said coldly, "I have felt that way since before, you seem to value your friends, but in fact you only care about your own affairs. You really are Do you care about those who commit suicide? Or, do you just want to make yourself feel better and feel less guilty? Originally, I thought, Hitomi, you are my only sustenance in the old world. After I die, I still want to Guo Xiaotong, will you still come to school to look for me? I know you have psychic abilities and can see me. But you didn’t come, I’m so sad. So, I had to look for I have some other friends. Did you see? These are all my best friends, so I don't need you now, you can die!"

As the ending of Xia Wei suddenly became sharp, the whole whale seemed to be waking up, souls were opening their eyes one by one, and pairs of eyes gradually converged on us.The whale also chirped again, the low and deep sound that seemed to come from the deep sea shook the souls of Xiaotong and me.

Xiaotong immediately showed a look of extreme pain. The voice made me feel very uncomfortable, and it might really be a fatal threat to Xiaotong.

I gritted my teeth and shouted to Xia Wei: "Is your so-called best friend these tool people whose thoughts have been distorted, like puppets who have been cashed out? You accused Xiao Tong of being hypocritical, so why don't you reflect on yourself?" Now, how selfish are you? Just because you want friends, let these 120 people be buried with you, just to play house games with you on campus? This is you Do you want a new world? I’m afraid it’s not just a false space to satisfy your fantasy!”

"I didn't kill them." Xia Wei said gloomily, "Of course the new world is real. I'm preaching the gospel to them and extraditing them to the other side of happiness."

"So, what about the evidence?" I demanded. "How do you know that the new world exists, and how do you know that what you're doing is the right way?"

"Of course, I heard the oracle, the god gave me guidance!"

"Really? Then, how do you know that it is the gods you believe in that are transmitting the voice to you, and not anything else?"

Xia Wei froze for a moment, then said angrily: "What blasphemy are you talking about, how could the oracle be false..."

Her voice in the second half of the sentence became smaller and smaller from the middle, because there was a voice directly in her head and in her soul.

That's my voice—

[Not only God can speak directly in your mind, the devil can too.Why can I be sure that the voice that speaks to you is the voice of the devil?Because... I am the real angel who delivered the oracle. I came here to bring the father's judgment to you who committed sins. 】

Why do you want to sneak into their belief network?My purpose is actually to make my oracle's ability available to these undead.To defeat their beliefs, there is nothing more simple, crude and effective than the denial from the gods they believe in.

Xia Wei's expression was stunned and unbelievable for a moment, and then he shouted as if he was furious: "This is impossible! I don't believe it! What method did you use to deceive me?!"

My voice continues to ring in her soul—

[Do you think that the voice instigating you to kill more people is more likely to come from the messenger of the gods, or the voice of wanting to protect more people is more likely to come from the messenger of the gods?You might as well ask this big whale and see if it will give you an answer. 】

Xia Wei's expression became stiff, and she was silent for a long time without answering, so I continued to speak for her——

[I think it's probably unlikely to answer you, because it's probably not that smart.This thing was originally a strange story that simply caused people to commit suicide. It was born out of folklore, and it was not that spiritual.The reason why you will believe it is because it will extract part of the thoughts of people close to it and use it as bait to lure people to commit suicide.

[This was told to me by another suicide victim who was lied to by it, the one who hoped to convince his daughter that there really are flying whales that can take her around the world.So it took the shape of a whale and told the man that it could do what he wanted for him if only he would spread its legend more widely and sacrifice his own death.

[So, let me guess what it's saying to you?Are you talking about your own thoughts?False religions are spread in the world, and the voice of the real gods cannot be heard. Therefore, the gods are about to destroy the world, and want you to be his agent, to choose pious and noble righteous people to go to the new world?It's just trying to get you to find more victims for it. 】

Xia Wei's shoulders and hanging hands seemed to be trembling slightly, but I didn't stop my words, instead my voice became louder and more severe.

【Lamb of the Lord, Xia Wei, now, look at so many undead around you, think about what you have done.Bewitched by the "beast", you acted as a pawn for the beast, resulting in the death of 120 three innocent people, and committed a great crime. It is absolutely impossible for you to go to your father's kingdom of heaven. 】

This is one thing I learned from my mother when I was a child. When facing a fanatical believer, don't try to argue with him that what he believes is false or wrong. It will be more effective to refute him and point out his fallacies by believing and familiar theories.In other words, it is better than a magic stick.

Xia Wei seemed to be shocked by the shock of what I said just now, and kept mumbling words such as "impossible", "new world", "deception".

【Father ordered me to come here to judge your crimes, and you should suffer in hell to pay off your sins.Only when you atone for your sins in this world can you get the Father's forgiveness. 】

As soon as I finished speaking, I saw a ray of light flying from below. The ray of light fell on my hand. It was a long sword exuding brilliance. I held this lightsaber in line with the sea level behind me. The light of dawn that gradually emerged from the sky suddenly had an indescribable sense of holiness.

I clenched the lightsaber, flew towards Xia Wei, and pierced the lightsaber into the center of her chest, which had been standing still for a long time, and at the same time left the last sentence in her mind——

【Father is watching you, go and make atonement. 】

Xia Wei tried her best to raise her head to look at the gradually gray and bright sky, did she see her Lord?I don't know, I only saw that her figure was fading rapidly, and then dissipated in the salty sea breeze.

Xia Wei's spirit dissipated, and the countless undead surrounding the whale fell into confusion and turmoil for a moment.

And my voice slammed into the hearts of every undead synchronously like a heavy hammer,

【Resurrection is a scam!The devil has bewitched you!The new world does not exist!The real God has asked me to send you back home, on the road, to the resting place of the soul! 】

I raised the lightsaber in my hand high, and made a symbolic slash towards the undead.

Then, one after another, the souls began to fall downwards and gradually dissipated and disintegrated in the air, as if they had been slashed.

Xiaotong's spirit floated to my side, stared at the lightsaber in my hand, and asked suspiciously, "Where did this thing... come from?"

I flipped the switch on the lightsaber, and the light on the sword disappeared immediately. I flipped the switch back and forth, and I saw the light on the sword "buling, buling" flash.

I spread my hands and said to Xiao Tong who was covered with black lines, "Please ask the police officer to get this from the toy store."

-

On the coast, two reporters from TV TOKYO were about to fall asleep.

They regretted it now, although they were already mentally prepared, thinking that this was probably because the shrine had spent money on the TV station to advertise, and it would most likely be a show.But you have to be professional at least to put on a show!At least you have to set up a stage, find some people to play music beside, and find a few people to put on makeup and dance on the stage at the most lively time of the night. If you do this, you can at least have fun!

What is the situation now? I ran to the seaside at four o'clock in the morning, let a little witch cut my hand a few times with a knife, and then stood there with my arms outstretched, letting the blood drip down my arms .Hey, this kind of picture hinders the education of young people, it is impossible to broadcast it!By the way, what are the rest of you standing there watching? Shouldn't you hurry up and bandage this girl first? !

The reporter really wanted to vomit, and was about to organize his words to persuade these people tactfully, when he suddenly saw the little witch move.

She pulled out the Taidao stuck in front of her body, then held the sword in both hands, raised it high above her head, and swung it vigorously towards the sky.

finished?This is the end?this one?this one? ?

The reporter couldn't find any way to express the speechlessness in his heart, but at this moment, he suddenly felt that the rain around him suddenly became heavier.

No, it's not getting bigger, it's almost like a huge pipe above the head is releasing water, a huge amount of blood-red rainwater is pouring down, shaking the awning above the reporter's head to roar, almost almost It was washed away.

But the reporter looked up at the sky, and was horrified to see a spectacle that he had never seen in his life.

The cloud above the head looks like a huge whale, but the whale looks like its head is down, falling towards the sea level!The clouds that made up the whale continued to dissipate during the fall, so the whale seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and when it finally fell into the sea, it only splashed a little water.

The sharp-eyed police officer Usui seemed to have seen something, and regardless of the reddish seawater soaking his whole body, he swam vigorously to the shallow water where the water splashed just now, grabbed something from the water, and Struggling to swim ashore.

"Look, this!" Officer Usui showed the thing in his hand to Xiaotong.

It was a painting with a frame. A trestle bridge stretched out into the quiet lake. A girl whom Police Officer Usui didn't know stood on the bridge and turned her head to look out of the painting.

Xiaotong threw the painting on the ground, then raised the sword and stabbed it hard.

The tip of the knife pierced through the drawing paper easily, and what flowed out from the crack in the drawing paper was actually gurgling blood.

The girl in the painting also disappeared.

"Is it over?" Officer Usui asked nervously.

"Well, it's over." Xiaotong nodded.

"The one just painted... who is that?"

"A friend of mine." Xiaotong said.

She raised her head and looked at the place where the sea and the sky meet, where a ball of fire is slowly rising from below the sea level.

I don't know if it was Xiaotong's illusion, but she vaguely saw a much smaller cloud in the distant sky, which also looked like a miniature whale.

The cloud got farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and then disappeared.
