The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

When I saw the name on the first line, I felt something was wrong, and sure enough, I immediately heard Youxiang's questioning voice——

"Hanayamain Motoji... this is not..."

Xiaotong immediately pulled the hem of Youxiang's clothes veiledly, and signaled her to stop talking with his eyes.

Sifang Qiuzao looked at Youxiang with great interest, and asked curiously: "Why, does this young lady recognize this person?"

Youxiang was also quick-witted, and she immediately replied: "I know, isn't this person said to be the richest man in the country, so it turns out that he got all his money from this lucky cat?"

"Hehe, of course he earned all his money. This lucky cat may just make it easier for him to earn money. I lent him this thing almost 30 years ago. Then At that time, he was still a stupefied young man. He hadn’t paid attention to him for a long time, but he has already become the richest man? I remember that I made an agreement with him back then. If he made a lot of money in the future, he would come back and take care of me. This is a small shop. I haven't seen him for so many years, so he just forgot me, I'm so sad. "

Sifang Qiuzao raised his hand to wipe away the tears that did not exist.

"........."

His rather contrived expression made me speechless for a while, then I pointed to the words on the back, and said with some confusion: "Also, is there something strange mixed in here? The first two I can still understand, what the hell is this moving Love Doll at the end? Can this be considered a miracle?"

"Well... this is the phantom Love Doll produced by the most famous adult products company in Japan. It is said that it is a complete reproduction of the stunningly beautiful girl who died of illness when the meteor appeared 50 years ago. However, if you think about it, there must be problems if you use the real person's appearance to hype this kind of thing. Back then, I was immediately sued by the idol's relatives, and it was said that only The only prototype was made, and it was about to be destroyed immediately. However, the night before it was to be destroyed, the doll suddenly disappeared from the building of that company. Creepy, surveillance shows, That doll moved by itself and then left. So, this phantom Love Doll became an urban ghost story that was talked about at that time."

"It disappeared by itself? Then why did this doll appear in your store?"

"If I said that it was the doll who came to our store by himself, would you believe it?"

"Do not believe."

"But, that's the truth."

"Tsk...that's too suspicious. I even wonder if this is something you directed."

"Hehe, how could that be?"

"However, even if we know the name, how should we find this person? We still know the first person, who are the second and third people? Don't you have any other information here? "

"Don't worry, don't worry." The fat man reached out and wiped the account, and after the name, some words slowly appeared.

Sifang Qiuzao looked at the words that surfaced, and said with a smile: "This account of mine can be regarded as a rare thing. Anyone who has signed a business contract with me and stamped their fingerprints on it has not returned it at the same time. For those who owe and write off accounts, my account can show his current location in real time."

"Tsk, so insidious."

While I was complaining, I looked carefully at the words displayed on it.

【Hanayamain Motoji - Hanayamain Group Headquarters Building in Tokyo Bay】

【Kamiya Tsubaki - Shinjuku Sanchome】

However, after the name of "Amakusa Kuro" on the third line, the handwriting appeared extremely slow and difficult. The black ink blots condensed and crawled on the surface of the paper like many small bugs, but they were still unable to appear. Write meaningful words, and finally simply "snap" all of them disappeared.

The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and I pointed to the blank space after the third name and asked, "So, what's the situation now?"

"This..." Sifang Qiuzao showed a rare flustered look. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said calmly, "I don't know too much about this situation... I've never encountered a…”

"Hey... you have provoked some big boss, right?" I began to have a strong distrust of this guy, "Maybe that person used a fake name at the time, so you can't find anyone with this broken account book." gone?"

"No, no, how could my eyesight be wrong. If it was a scary guy, I would feel threatened. That kid didn't give me that feeling at the time. The contract signed at that time It was also successfully completed, and the contract cannot be completed if a pseudonym is used. Perhaps, the child had some adventures later, for example, he obtained some other strange objects to help offset the ledger's detection, or... ran to Go to a place where the ledger can't be detected..."

"Child? You gave a Love Doll to a child?? Hey, hey, this is something that can be reported to the PTA immediately!"

"Amakusa Kuro, although it sounds like a boy's name, and that child is indeed dressed in men's clothing, but it is indeed a girl, there is nothing wrong with that. And, don't question my vision, I can see that that thing It was the thing that child needed most at that time. She said that her grandfather was old but always alone, so she wanted to find a companion for her grandfather. This is really a filial daughter, isn't she? "

"That's right... But... it sounds weird to bring back a Love Doll for the old grandfather, right? Grandfather... Can he still use it?"

"That's not something you and I need to worry about."

"However, I only know one name, and I don't know anything else, and I may even get into some strange things, not to mention that the things you lent out must have happened at least 20 years ago. It’s much harder than you imagined, right? Could it be that you couldn’t get back the things yourself, so you hired us as a coolie? There are too many variables in this, this is not acceptable, our remuneration must be increased. How about it, Of these three things, as long as we take back two of them, the mission will be completed, and Chuuxue's debt will be written off, what do you think?" I tried to bargain.

"No, no, how can this work? It's too bad for me." Qiu Zao shook his head like a rattle.

"But you have to think about it this way, if we don't help you, won't you get nothing back? Anyway, Fuxue is only playing the role of a shop assistant with you, and I have never seen you come to this shop What kind of customers, this is too wasteful, so why don't you just take back your two products, isn't it good?"

All in all, I went through all kinds of fallacies and heresies, and finally added the illusory bargaining chip of the friendship of the gods of Tsukiyomi Shrine, and finally succeeded in persuading Akizo Sifang to agree that we only need to take back two items.

After walking a certain distance from the 99 grocery store, I made a "V" gesture to Xiaotong.

"Hey, Hitomi, I succeeded~ Now, we just need to get back the glasses that can see through love at a glance, and that strange Love Doll! In this way, there is no need to take the fortune from Uncle Hanayamain It's a cat! It won't damage the wealth of the Hanayamain family, but at the same time, we can get Fubuki back, and a world where no one will get hurt has been achieved!"

"It turns out that you want to help the Huashanyuan family keep the beckoning cat, so you talk so much nonsense with the Sifang store manager, let me tell you." Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's only now that I understand my intentions, it's really not a tacit understanding!"

Xiaotong turned her head to look at Youxiang who had been unusually silent since she walked out of the grocery store, and couldn't help asking worriedly: "Youxiang... are you okay? Don't worry, senior sister..."

At this time, Youxiang seemed to come back to her soul suddenly, grabbed Xiaotong's shoulder and said excitedly: "Xiaotong! I have seen my father's beckoning cat. He is very precious and has been placed in his own room. Never let anyone touch it! I never thought that there is a real strange thing in my house! Tonight I will steal it and have fun!"

"..." Xiaotong's hand that was about to pat Youxiang's back as comfort froze in mid-air.

Chapter 4 Grandma Tsubaki

Of course, Xiaotong and Youxiang would not steal any lucky cats in the middle of the night, it would be fine if his uncle found out.At the same time, Xiaotong also persuaded Youxiang, at most, go and see what this beckoning cat looks like, there is no need to sneak out, be careful that her father will catch her and cut her, I don't know what she looks like Have you listened?

"By the way, Shinjuku is not far from here. It's still early. Before you go back, why don't we go to Shinjuku [-]-chome to find out who that guy named 'Kamiya Tsubaki' is?" Youxiang suggested.

Hitomi and I have no objection to this, and we arrived in Shinjuku after only two stops on the tram.However, when we got to the place, we were dumbfounded when we saw the continuous flow of people passing by, and realized how unrealistic it is to find someone in this metropolitan business district by just one name. .

【Hello!The address given by that fat man is too imprecise!Sanchome is so big, and I only know a name, and I don't even know what it looks like. How can I find someone!Could it be that if you want to meet people, you can send out flyers and ask, 'Do you know anyone named Tsubaki Kamiya'?This is not realistic at all! ! ] I couldn't help complaining forcefully.

As a result, You Xiang really stopped a passing beauty to test it out: "Hi, hello, excuse me, do you know this person Shen Guchun?"

"I know." Much to our surprise, the beauty nodded and kindly pointed us the way, "Go straight through this street, go straight here and turn left at this intersection. There's a long queue."

After finishing speaking, the beauty asked one more question in passing: "By the way, have you made an appointment on the app first?"

"Still... still make an appointment?"

"That's right, if you don't make an appointment, you have to queue up now, it may take several hours, and it will be your turn in the afternoon. So it's better to make an appointment first, just download an app called 'Grandma Tsubaki Divination'" gone."

"Huh, Granny Chun??" Xiao Tong was surprised.

After thanking this beautiful woman, we immediately exchanged opinions.

"Grandma Chun is the one... who was also invited by the police to investigate Qingfeng High School's psychic expert, but she disappeared afterward..." Xiaotong briefly talked about the woman she saw last time .

"No, don't you all know Grandma Chun?" Instead, Youxiang became surprised, "If you want to say who Shengu Chun is, I don't know, but I know the name of Grandma Chun! It may be now The most famous fortune-teller, she has been divination on the streets of Shinjuku for decades! At first she just set up a table on the street to do fortune-telling. She has been doing this for nearly 30 years, and later she came to her because of her reputation More and more people came here. So she directly rented a shop on the commercial street to open a divination shop. Fortune, love, career, everything can be divination, super accurate! In fact, I have only asked her for divination once."

【oh?What did you divination? 】

"I asked Grandma Tsubaki, how can I encounter truly incredible events?"

【Then what did she say? 】

"She said, 'At this moment, you have met'."

【…】

"I was very dissatisfied with her answer, it felt very tricky, and then I asked, 'Then where can I find as many incredible events as possible after this?' Then she said,' Don't worry, just wait, and the unthinkable will come to you.'”

[It feels like saying something without saying anything, but the style of saying it is true...it's a real magic stick. 】

"That's what I thought at the time too! I thought this mother-in-law was really a liar, so I turned around and forgot what she said. But now that I think about it, not long after she said this, Xiaotong transferred to another school. Here we come! So... this must be true, right?"

[It feels a little subtle.However, since she has the "glasses that can see through love at a glance", at least it shows that she is genuine in love divination.Well, I'm also going to find her for a love divination! 】

"Sister, I always feel that your motivation has subtly changed."

[Don't care, let's go, let's go! 】

Following the guidance of the beautiful woman just now, after walking for a while, we saw the long queue at a distance.

[Ah, this... I feel like I might not be able to queue up today, why do Japanese people like to queue up so much! ] I complained angrily.

But Youxiang just tilted her head and thought for a while, then walked up, found the person in line in front of the store, and asked directly: "Hello, I want to pay for your current one." Location, how much do you think is suitable?"

"Huh?" The man didn't react for a while, and then he said super annoyed, "Why, I will be in the queue right away, you are thinking..."

Youxiang pulled out a stack of banknotes from her bag, and asked a little uncertainly, "Is this enough?"

"...Enough is enough, you, you are not kidding me, are you?"

After confirming again and again that the money can be taken away, the man left his place, took the money and quickly anointed the soles of his feet, and we took his place.

I made a "please" gesture to Xiaotong, Xiaotong gave me a blank look, but said something very cooperatively——

"Damn rich people."

Under the unhappy eyes of the people behind, we walked into the divination hall, opened a curtain and entered the inner room.

The inner room is a very mysterious room with dim lights and wall coverings covered with mysterious symbols and patterns. There is a crystal ball and a deck of Tarot cards on the table in the center. There are also various mysterious props in the cabinet.

Why should I describe in such detail the arrangement and objects of this room?That's because... we didn't see anyone in this room.

On the table in the middle, in addition to the props just mentioned, there was also a page of paper, which was written in crooked handwriting——

"The old man suddenly felt unwell, and the divination hall is closed here today, please forgive me for being disrespectful.

"PS: Please close the door and turn the sign on the door to the 'Closed' side, thank you~"

[This...what's the situation, people? 】I haven't understood the situation yet.

"Hey, look." Youxiang stood somewhere on the wall and opened a hidden door.Because of the complicated and mysterious lines on the wall, this door doesn't look so eye-catching.

Behind the door is a storage room, and there is another back door leading to the outside in the storage room. Grandma Chun must have slipped through this door.

"Why do you want to slip away? Could it be that the divination predicts that we will come? But we are not evil people."

I am very outraged by this.

Chapter 5 Lucky Cat 【Modify】

Come with joy, return with disappointment.After finally running here, I didn’t even see a single hair of that Grandma Tsubaki, which made me sigh deeply.

And the regret on Youxiang's face seemed to be more serious than mine, she murmured with a bulging face: "Well, should I find my bodyguard to watch over here, and wait for that mother-in-law to come back?" Notify us immediately?"

With a "boom", Xiaotong knocked her on the head, frowned and said, "Forget it, maybe she is really unwell, don't bully the old man. Let's go back."

"Oh." Youxiang's frustration was palpable, and then she blinked her eyes, and suddenly, as if a light bulb lit up on her forehead, she winked at Xiaotong cunningly, and suggested to Xiaotong, "Xiaotong is small." Hitomi, look, the summer vacation is almost over. As a result, our folklore research is not very active at all! We haven’t even organized any group activities, so I propose! Or let’s have a club sleepover tonight! Come to my house together Stay overnight!!"

"This...you can do it, but...you shouldn't have any bad ideas, right?"

"What is a bad idea! Do you really distrust me, Hitomi?! There are so many things you can do in Hesu! Such as Girls' Talk, such as pillow fights!"

"Okay." Xiaotong probably also thought that he had never been to Youxiang's house to play, so he agreed.

However, after entering the high fence in the extended car of Huashanyuan’s family, passing through the lawn and gardens that occupy a large area and are clearly well-maintained, and finally came to a villa that seemed to have come out of the European Middle Ages At the time, Xiaotong didn't even have the strength to complain about "damn rich".

"You Xiang, I suddenly felt that it might be a good idea to steal your father's beckoning cat."

The eyes of Xiaotong who said this were buried in the shadows, and the black air lingered behind him.Hey, Hitomi!You can't be blackened just because of jealousy!

But Youxiang was already completely excited because of Xiaotong's speech, "Xiaotong, are you serious?! That's great, without further ado, let's go over and have a look now. I remember my dad used that trick The fortune cat put it in the room!"

Youxiang pulled Xiaotong quickly across the corridor of the room.

"No, wait." Xiao Tong, who just said something angry because of jealousy, still hesitated, "I think this is not good..."

"But you have a very curious look in your eyes." Youxiang ruthlessly pierced Xiaotong's disguise.

"Okay, let's take a look, just take a look..."

In the end, Xiaotong and Youxiang, who still hadn't won their curiosity, opened the door of Xiaotong's father's room on tiptoe, and walked in.

Xiaotong looked around the room, it was a large living room, but the interior layout was not much, it looked very low-key and simple.The floor was spotless, and the bed surface was even without any wrinkles, which made one wonder whether the room was actually occupied.

There are a row of decorative display cabinets against the wall of the room, among which there are some decorations, such as porcelain vases, plates with delicate patterns placed at an angle, etc., and a torii ornament about the height of a palm .

Xiaotong quickly locked onto the target's position. A ceramic statue of a beckoning cat, all white with its right paw raised upwards as if beckoning, was placed in one of the display cabinets in the room.However, the display cabinet was closed, with a thick glass door on the outside. You Xiang tried to pull it, but found that the door was locked.

"It's so annoying, my dad locked it inside, how can I steal it out!"

"Who said it was going to be stolen!" Xiaotong patted Youxiang on the head again, and then she carefully observed the beckoning cat in the display case.

The eyes of this beckoning cat are wide open, the black eyeballs almost cover the entire area of ​​the eyes, a bell is tied around the neck, and the right paw is raised upwards. It looks like an ordinary toy beckoning cat. It doesn't seem to be much different from the ordinary beckoning cats that are sold outside.I lay on my back in the air and looked at its base from below through the glass plate, and I could still see the words "Made in Showa 60". Then I thought that it was acquired by Uncle Hanayamain about 30 years ago. This is clearly the A toy decoration that had just been produced at the time!

The only thing that makes people feel a little strange is that after staring at the pair of dark ink-like eyes for a long time, you will feel an illusion, as if it is really a living thing, looking at you, and showing your eyes slightly. A slightly sly smile.

Such a thing does not look very auspicious, will it really have the effect of attracting wealth?

I couldn't help stretching out my hand, passed through the glass barrier, and wanted to try to touch this lucky cat.

I can directly touch all supernatural things, such as blowing snow, such as baby sauce, but at this moment, my hand is going straight through this beckoning cat, as if grabbing a cloud of air .

It's a fake.

I thought so intuitively.
