The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

Uncle Limao came out like a peacemaker at this time and said, "Oh, we are all colleagues now. If possible, how about we get along together in harmony?"

"Okay, I can ignore the matter of the cat. I just can't wait to start the game production work, so, can you take me to visit the place where the game is made? I want to get familiar with the position as soon as possible."

"Eh..." Uncle Tanuki showed a troubled expression again, and he seemed to be racking his brains to find a way to refuse again, but before he could think of anything, a strange voice suddenly came from above the shrine.

This sound... is like the sound made by some huge creature flapping its wings.

Hearing this voice, the uncle immediately looked up nervously, and looked up together with me.

With a red face, a long nose, and huge black wings flapping in the air, the tall tengu is flying in mid-air with arms folded, staring at us coldly.

"No, that...we'll contact you later~"

Uncle Tanuki said quickly, and before I could respond, I saw him slam a bullet on the ground, and then a cloud of smoke rose up, and then disappeared in the smoke.

Xiaotong also frantically teased me, probably trying to tell me to run away.

However, I didn't act, because... the tengu flying in the sky gave me a very strange feeling.

I remember that in Mount Kurama, just a quick glance at the dog brought me a lot of pressure, but the tengu in front of me... didn't seem to bring me the same feeling.

Also, the dark circles under the eyes of this Tengu are a bit heavy?And, why the more I look at it... the more I feel that the ears of this tengu are becoming more and more furry?

Chapter 37 Rebels

"Senior sister?" Xiaotong called out to me with some worry.

I waved my hand at her to reassure her.Now I am [-]% sure out of [-]%, this tengu must be a fake, and I feel that something should have changed into a tengu.

According to the legend, the most famous ones who are good at this kind of transformation are the fox and the civet cat, right?

As for the fox...it doesn't seem quite like it.With the dark circles under the eyes and the fluffy round ears, could it be another civet cat?

Indeed, I heard that Tanuki's transformation technique always seems to have some flaws that are easy to see through in some places.

I waved to the "Tengu" in the sky, and greeted friendlyly: "Hello, aren't you tired from flying up there? Do you want to talk to me about something? Why don't you come down and have a chat?"

After saying this, I didn't expect that "Tengu" actually flapped its wings and slowly landed in front of us.

He folded his arms in front of his chest, stretched a pair of huge black feathers backwards, looked down at me, and said in a rough voice: "Aren't you afraid of me?"

"What's so scary about a fake?" I replied bluntly.

"Tsk... Sure enough, I can't hide from the big monster..." "Tengu" suddenly showed an expression of annoyance, and then he said immediately, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, please come with me, maybe when my dad finds out If it's not right, it will come back!"

"Well, but...your dad?"

This "tengu" didn't respond to my question, but hurriedly led us away from the shrine and into a dark alley that was secluded and deserted.

I saw a puff of smoke exploded from the "Tengu", and a leaf slowly fell, revealing its figure from the smoke. It turned out to be a little civet cat that was not even up to my knee height when it stood upright.

Xiaotong seems to like this kind of furry creatures very much. She stretched out a finger and wanted to poke the little civet cat's belly, which seemed very elastic at first glance, but was blocked by the civet cat's claws, and its entire face They all have a "no, no" look.

"Please don't do this, I am the eldest son of the famous Maruyama family in the raccoon world, Danichiro Maruyama! I am not a pet!"

"Oh~ It's amazing~ Then I would like to ask this very great Maruyama Danichiro, why did he pretend to be a tengu to scare us?"

"I'm not scaring you! I'm saving you!" said the little civet cat with his arms folded in front of his chest. It looks awe-inspiring to do this in the form of a tengu, but it looks quite a bit in the form of a civet cat. To be funny, Xiaotong couldn't help stretching out her paw to touch its head twice.

The little civet cat narrowed its eyes when Xiaotong touched it, but then it suddenly woke up, knocked off Xiaotong's hand and said: "If you are cheated by my father, you will also be involved in that game, and then become Strange!"

"Oh? What do you mean by that?"

The little civet cat lowered its head, and started to say as if remembering something: "Our civet cat family has always been a very laid-back and lazy family. Drink some wine, sunbathe in the sun, and occasionally do some mischief to humans. For a store with a civet cat statue in front of us, we will simply turn into another statue to make a pair for it, and then have a good night's sleep. It would be even better if this store is an izakaya. Fill up the wine. Although we are not as powerful as the tengu who ruled the city, but because it is said that we can bring wealth, people's belief in tanuki has always been stable, and the days have been like this Yes. But... In recent years, my father, Maruyamaemon... for some reason, he suddenly started to lose his nerve... In the past, he was obviously like every tanuki, basking lazily in the sun every day, but he never A few years ago, he suddenly said that we can't be satisfied with the status quo, and we should take advantage of the changing times to let tanuki replace tengu..."

"So he founded the Tanuki Co., Ltd.?"

"Well... yes." The little raccoon clenched its paws and said bitterly, "The raccoon family has always been lazy and hates work the most! After my father and a few raccoons set up the club, they said every day Talking about "traffic entrance", "linkage collaboration", "brand empowerment", "dimensionality reduction attack" and other incomprehensible words, the result forced the whole family of raccoons to start working overtime! The black eyes of raccoons It's all getting deeper!"

The little civet cat also showed a vivid pained expression on its furry face, then it raised its head suddenly, and its voice suddenly became louder: "So, you must not join that game! I have seen a lot of people joining Weird has also been infected and brainwashed by this strange game! This game gives each weird an indicator to scare humans every day. Only when it is completed will there be a bonus of belief traffic. The overtime virus has begun to spread among Weird! Those guys Your spirit is already abnormal! Since you are the big monster that your father also wants to win over, you definitely don’t want to live a scary life of having to work overtime every day! I strongly suspect that this game is weird, as if it can erode It's like a weird mind, let them all be numb! This can't go on anymore! In order to get back a life where I can drink freely and warm my ass in the sun leisurely, I must rebel against my father!"

"...So, what are you going to do?"

"Right now, I can only stop the destruction of my father and continue to attract other weirdos... But if I can attract more raccoons and weirdos to resist, maybe I can do more... Will you help me? "

"Well... let me think about it? Because I don't know whether what you said is true or not?" I said a little evasively. Look, it seems more interesting to join the game producer, doesn't it?

"I...I can prove that what I said is true!" The little civet cat was a little anxious, "I'll take you to the place where the game was made! Even at this time, there are still a lot of civet cats Still working overtime there! You can see for yourself and see if what I said is true!"

"Huh? Alright, lead the way~" The raccoon uncle just now kept it secret and didn't want me to find out the truth about their game production!Now there is a leading party who came to my door to show me the way. Is there any reason not to go? !

It's just... this is going to run into the civet cat's base camp where it's not clear whether it's an enemy or a friend, I glanced at Xiao Tong worriedly, and said to her: "Well, Tong, how about...you go back first? I'll take a sneak peek and go back."

Chapter 38 Black Heart Enterprise

"Sister, do you think I'm in the way?" Xiao Tong raised her eyebrows and said.

"No, isn't it? Doesn't it feel like it might be dangerous?" I quickly explained, "Little Tong, you have always been extremely cautious, and I think you will definitely persuade me not to go."

"Although it's true... but senior, you leave us alone and run around, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable. There is always a feeling that senior, you will do anything wrong." Xiao Tong turned his head and said in a low voice.

"Little Hitomi..."

"Ok?"

"If you want to go with me, just say so~"

"I'm not!"

Xiaotong looked a little annoyed, but at this time the little civet cat named Danichiro interjected: "It's okay for this adult to go there together, the civet cat trading company is not a dangerous place, um... Or it is another level of 'dangerous' place for civet cats, in short, I will take you to see it and you will know."

The little civet cat took out a pair of fluffy fake civet cat ears from nowhere, and handed it to Xiaotong.

"Put this on, as long as you wear this, the raccoons there will regard you as a raccoon with an imperfect transformation!"

Xiaotong took the civet cat ears with a black thread on her head, it seemed that after a long time of psychological construction, she put it on her head with some reluctance.

I couldn't help giving the civet cat a thumbs up, and under Xiaotong's glare, I mouthed "Good Job" to the confused one.

Then, in another puff of smoke, the little civet cat Danichiro turned into a little Shota again. He led me and the little civet cat ears with a face of "who am I and what am I doing?" Hitomi, walking through the night streets of Kyoto, headed for the civet cats' headquarters.

The base camp of the civet cats I originally imagined should at least be a quiet and natural place like the virgin forest outside the Shimogamo Shrine, or a paradise in the city, a shrine surrounded by towering trees and statues of civet cats.However, following the little civet cat in front, I felt more and more wrong as I walked, the neon lights around me became brighter and brighter, and more and more people passed by on the street.Even though it was approaching midnight, the din of human voices and vehicles never stopped for a moment.

"Hello? Why do we feel that we are going more and more towards the city center?" I whispered in Xiaotong's ear suspiciously.

Xiaotong didn't reply to my words. She was a bit socially fearful and had a very eye-catching decoration on her head. I'm afraid it would really make her feel uncomfortable. She is now vigilant like a stressed cat. Focusing on the surroundings, it seems that he is trying to reduce his sense of existence.

But her uneasiness became less obvious immediately, because as I walked forward, the more I noticed, there were more and more weirdly dressed guys, with cat ears, ghost faces, and talismans on their foreheads. Yes, people wearing armor and holding samurai swords, even people with three fox tails, all kinds of weird guys appeared, and Xiaotong's outfit was actually very ordinary among them.Among them, I found that most of them are just ordinary human beings wearing strange costumes, and there are only a few of them. I am a little confused whether they are really weird or not.

"Why do these people dress like this? Is there any activity?" I couldn't help asking the little civet cat walking in front.

"Event? Oh, it seems that there is one. It should be said that it started many days ago. In the middle of August, an event called [Kyoto Summer Night Festival] was launched in the game of Kaitan GO, which lasted for two full weeks. This part In the evening of the time, the acquisition rate of all kinds of shikigami is UP, so during this period of time, many human beings spend all night in various places in the city to catch shikigami. And there is a saying among human beings, saying It’s really inexplicable why as long as you dress up as a monster, the probability of catching it will become greater. Huh, just because of this, many of our companions have been working non-stop for days! As monsters, we are about to die suddenly It is because I saw such a thing that I want to stop my father's evil deeds!" said the little civet cat angrily, gritting its teeth.

"It stands to reason... As the child of the patriarch of the civet cat clan, shouldn't you be happy to hear about it?" Xiaotong heard it, and lowered his voice curiously to the little civet cat, "If my dad is the president of the civet cat club, I guess I have already laid down and started to recharge unlimitedly in the game, but I don’t have the idea of ​​​​defeating his company..."

"Because I will be forced to work overtime by my father too! What did you say to set an example for other raccoon cats!" The little raccoon cat clenched its fists and muttered, "And... he is very unusual, although he has liked money very much since the past , but his personality in the past was very lazy like other raccoon cats, and he would not think about creating a company to work day and night to make money! It seems that he suddenly changed into a raccoon dog one day, it is almost like being possessed by evil spirits It's..."

I also became curious when I heard it, "Suddenly, it seems to have changed into a raccoon... What happened? Tanukis are very good at transforming, right... Could it be, did they really change into a raccoon?"

"No... The transformation cannot last for a long time, and the smell on the body will not change... Let me think about it... Well, during the few days when my father's personality changed, he seemed to have something wrong. He said he was going to meet an old friend or something... I don’t know who it is, it seems that after he came back, he suddenly started to say something strange like, ‘to make the tanuki clan great again’.”

"Old friend...that sounds suspicious..."

While I was still thinking about what an old friend of Tanuki would be, the surroundings gradually became noisy.

When I came back to my senses, I saw a lot of guys in strange clothes standing in front of a building, looking up at something with their necks outstretched.

"We're here," said the little civet cat.

I raised my head curiously, and the first thing I saw was a slightly naive civet cat head logo hanging on the high part of the building, and at the same time, there was a huge advertising electronic screen playing the game promotion MV of Guai Tan GO, and the people watching below They picked up their mobile phones and pointed them at the screen, almost blocking the entrance of the building.

The little civet cat explained helplessly: "I heard that a new shikigami will be released tonight, and the latest promotional video of the new shikigami will be played on this big screen first. If you open the game, you will be able to catch the new Shikigami, tsk, human beings are really easy to fall into superstition, no wonder so many strange stories are born based on human imagination alone. Forget it, I will take you through the staff passage at the back door."

We followed the civet cat to the back of the building and went up a hidden staircase.There was indeed no one to stop us along the way. In the huge office, all the "humans" were staring at the computer screen in front of them. Some guys had thick dark circles around their eyes, which made me a little confused whether they were the incarnations of civet cats or not. Something went wrong.Even though we swaggered past, these people just glanced at us and then looked away with little interest, continuing to concentrate on the screen in front of them.

The little civet cat walked up to a "person" and asked in a low voice, "Is my father back yet?"

"I came back, and I brought a black cat spirit with me. When I came back, I pointed to the cat spirit and told us that we should design a new shikigami based on this cat spirit. He also said that there will be a supporting event, which will be released tomorrow. Then he dropped the task and said that he was going to meet a friend again, turned around and left! Damn it! Isn’t the shikigami to be released in the plan a girl’s ghost?! Only one day is not enough! All the tanuki in the company stayed up all night It’s impossible to work overtime! Why doesn’t he stay and work overtime!!”

The "person" said with a pair of thick civet cat eyes, although the tone was extremely resentful, but the volume was extremely low.

"Wow, this is indeed exactly what you said, it's quite oppressive...ah no, it's oppressive..."

I can't help but sigh, is this the real workplace?Immediately, the idea of ​​never joining such a black-hearted company came into being in the future!Oh no, I'm dead!That way you don't have to work!Suddenly, I felt lucky from the bottom of my heart.

"However, is it okay for us to come in like this?" I looked around at the civet cats who were all bowing their heads and typing on the keyboard, and suddenly wondered, "Is the security here a bit too bad, and the company has opened so swaggeringly here? In the downtown area... are you really not afraid of Tengu coming to make trouble?"

"Hmph, with my dad's little ambition, maybe the tengu haven't found out that the civet cats are targeting them and say no..."

"boom--"

Danichiro hadn't finished speaking when a loud roar interrupted his words.

Chapter 39 Weakness

Now I am wondering whether my mouth is really open. I feel that every time I subconsciously say something bad is going to happen, it always comes true very quickly.

I just finished talking about whether I would be attacked, but the sound of explosions sounded above my head. Could this be the divine word?

If possible, I'd like it to be more effective in a good way.

"Could it be a classic gas explosion... It really isn't such a good thing."

When he raised his head, he still held a trace of luck, but after focusing his eyes on the source of the sound, he no longer had this kind of thought at all.

From the big hole blown out of the top of the head, we can see several guys in black suits and sunglasses looking down at us, with the round fan logo printed on their left chests, and at the same time, there are some squirming black shadows that have already been seen, is gradually taking shape on the ceiling.

That's right, it's the Amakusa group.

Is it coming towards me?

No, probably not, they probably wouldn't have predicted that I would appear here so accurately.

That being the case, let's sneak away while they are not paying attention~

I grabbed Xiaotong and quickly hid under a table to escape, but at this moment, a burning smell entered my nostrils.

Thick smoke billowed up, the flames quickly eroded the field of vision, and the building was on fire.

With so much flame rising at the same time, it was clearly a premeditated attack.

"Hey, didn't your father consider the situation of being approached by someone like this?! There are no security measures? Why do you have so many strange allies?"

"The strange talk allies are not the subordinates of the civet cats. Most of them just want to take advantage of the trend to harvest a little fear from humans, and tell them to fight the tengu together with the civet cats? They don't necessarily have the guts!"

"But I don't think you civet cats may have them~"

The procedural raccoons at the scene had no intention of fighting back at all, and all fled in a panic. Many of them couldn't even maintain their human shapes in the thick smoke, revealing their real raccoon bodies. Some of the raccoon cats' hairs were even burnt too!

However, these civet cats can escape so easily, probably because the people from the Amakusa group did not deliberately deal with or stop them. The black shadows destroyed the working computers on the desktop one by one, or smashed, cut off or even set them on fire, especially when they opened the rooms one by one, and directly destroyed the hosts or servers when they found them. At the same time, They also flipped through the tabletops and drawers, and opened the cabinets in the room one by one to check carefully.

Strange, I can understand destroying the computer, is it to physically eliminate the game of Kaitan GO?So what is the purpose of rummaging through boxes and cabinets?There won't be a server in that kind of file cabinet, is this... looking for something?

The surrounding temperature is getting hotter and hotter. I can see that the walls are starting to turn black, and there are tongues of fire dancing outside the floor-to-ceiling windows. The flames seem to be alive and are slowly closing, as if they are going to become a wall of fire that will completely envelop the building.

At the same time, there are two or three black suits walking towards us, there is no time to think, we are still wanted by them for no reason.

I didn't intend to ask for trouble, I grabbed Xiaotong with one hand, picked up the civet cat with the other, and rushed out in one breath, the force of my thoughts shattered the floor-to-ceiling window glass, and I flew out from the gap of the flames that had not yet closed, and was smashed with countless glass shards They landed firmly together.

When I looked back, I saw flames climbing up the building, and the flames illuminated half of the sky, and above the sky, I could faintly see a humanoid creature hovering above the building, looking down indifferently on the one outside the building. The civet cat logo was slowly engulfed by flames.Behind the figure was a pair of huge black wings, and he was wearing a monk's cassock with complicated styles, and a long knife was hanging from his waist.

It's a tengu, the real tengu, probably the one we glanced at from a distance on Mount Kurama before.The fire in front of him is obviously under his control, otherwise the flame could not be so weird. The fire spread and climbed outside the building, but it didn't burn too much inside the building, although many civet cats escaped from the building They came out, but there were still many blocked inside the building by the fire, and even civet cats wanted to jump down from the shattered floor-to-ceiling windows, but they were wrapped in flames in an instant, and barely fell to the ground. It was burned down to ashes.

This is obviously not a normal flame.

The little civet cat Tuanichiro stared blankly at the fire in front of him, as well as the civet cat that had just fallen and was engulfed by the flames, and suddenly ran desperately towards the entrance of the building that had been blocked by the flames, but was caught by me on the way. Use the power of thought to control it tightly.

I felt the tengu in the sky cast a cold gaze in our direction, and this gaze made me feel cold all over.

I pulled Tuanichiro back with all my strength, and then pulled Xiaotong to hide in the shadow of the alley in an instant.

The tengu in the sky is still firmly in the distance, and has no intention of paying attention to us.

"What are you doing, do you want to court death?!" I knocked Danichiro on the head and said.

"But...but..." Tuan Yilang's eyes were empty, and he was at a loss for words.

"Don't you hope that your father's game company will not be able to continue? Isn't your wish fulfilled now?"
