Chapter 2801 The Spiritual World

It was cloudy and rainy.

Looking at the dim rain outside the window, the black-haired girl yawned involuntarily.

After using the Scourge to wipe out the small town entangled by the curse of the Outer God, Fangzheng manipulated the avatar to start his adventure in this world. It's just a prologue. When everything disappeared and Shizuku came to the outside world as a clone, she finally discovered the peculiarity of this world.

To put it bluntly, this is actually a supernatural world.

It's not that Fangzheng has been to similar worlds before, such as the Cthulhu world that the goddess of order used as a testing ground. But this world is not the same as the world of Cthulhu. Although people in the world of Cthulhu are quite enthusiastic about many rumors and there are many similar stories, but in the final analysis, these are all caused by the entanglement between the ancient gods and the outer gods. appears below.

However, this world is different.

How should I say this world... is closer to the traditional spiritual world.

After leaving that village, Shizuku also took over several similar incidents, and then discovered the laws of this world. To put it simply, what happens in this world is not as indescribable as Cthulhu, but more traditional evil spirits hurt people.

For example, the Seven Unbelievables in the school, all kinds of urban ghost stories and legends, ghost baby Hanako...all of these things are included.

Of course, it may be because Shizuku traveled to this world in the late 1980s, and there were no shadows of Sadako and Kayako, but if her estimation is correct, then in this world, they should appear .

That's right, all kinds of ancient legends, myths, demons and ghosts, people will use the way of legends to recite scriptures to save and repel them. This is an orthodox world of supernatural myths.

It is not a virus leak like Resident Evil, nor an indescribable life from an alien planet like Cthulhu, but more of the weirdness bred by the earth itself.

Shizuku has also felt the existence of monsters several times, but perhaps because of the power of Frostmourne, the monsters are almost afraid to show up in front of her.

This made Shizuku feel a little pity, she still wanted to see if there was a Zashiki Doji in this world, would she be a cute little loli.

Thinking of this, Shizuku involuntarily raised his head and looked at the Japanese map on the wall next to him. Basically, every time Fangzheng goes to a world, he tries to check the map first, and then see if there are any place names he is familiar with, and then he can almost guess what world it is.

For example, now, under the thumbtack on one side of the map, the name "Domori Town" can be clearly seen, while on the other side, there is the expression "Koyasan".

"Teacher Hell" and "The Peacock King", as expected of the 1980s, are really back again.

Shizuku didn't go to these two places to check, "Hell Teacher" is nothing more, now she just hopes that Koyasan is just the same name and surname, not the real "Peacock King", otherwise it will be troublesome, remember that there seems to be a The destruction of the world... Fangzheng loved to read these two supernatural horror comics back then.

As for the reason... Anyone who has seen it will understand.

If you haven't seen it, don't watch it.

After all, it was something that had to be bought secretly with the boss in the bookstore just like drug trafficking in private.

I just wonder if there are other childhood memories in this world?

For example, Meixi or Kitaro... By the way, does Shaman King count?

But anyway, I won't be the Shaman King. Of course, if I meet Anna Osore, I can just ask her to leave a photo with me and sign my name.

If you meet a hell girl... Uh, the Internet is not widespread yet, so you probably won't be able to meet her.

Of course, there are evil spirits and monsters in this world, and there are naturally people who deal with them.

According to Shizuku's investigation, it was determined that there are basically three kinds of demon-slaying forces in this world.

The first type is the various ancient exorcism families that everyone is familiar with, such as the family line of onmyojis, or the Tantric monks of Mount Koya. These people generally seldom come and go outside, and mainly practice on their own territory.

The second is the state government agency, but this is not the same as the so-called "Dragon Group" in the Internet. Shizuku has also dealt with one of these organizations. The other party is a subordinate of the Metropolitan Police Department. "Historical Compilation Institute", at first glance, it sounds like a pension department that simply records the history of the police.

But in fact, the job of this department is to search, investigate, and classify countless mysterious cases from all over the country every day. After all, in today's society, there are various methods of crime, and disappearances and homicides also occur from time to time in Japan. In many cases, you have no way to immediately determine whether the incident is caused by ghosts or ghosts, or human beings, and then blame it on urban legends or ghosts and evil spirits.

So their main responsibility is to investigate these difficult cases that ordinary police cannot handle. If it is man-made, it will be handed over to the relevant department for handling. If it is done by monsters and ghosts, then they will find experts to handle it.

The third type is freelancers like Shizuku. They don't belong to any aristocratic sect, and naturally they don't have any restrictions. They are basically like detectives, taking money to do things. For example, Shizuku has now opened a "difficult incident investigation office" near Tokyo. The layout is basically similar to that of Kogoro Mori's Maori office. The second floor is used for offices, the third floor is for residences, and the first floor is a ramen restaurant. ... In fact, Shizuku quite likes this ordinary style.

As for the money to buy the house, it was naturally withheld from the FBI.

It has been almost two months since Shizuku came to this world. Basically, she has become a little famous among many exorcists. Different from the ordinary "fellows are friends", the exorcist industry is very particular about exchanging things and interacting with each other. After all, the work everyone does is life-threatening, and ordinary evil spirits and little ghosts are fine. What a terrifying and powerful monster, if you don't know a powerful colleague, you probably don't even know how to die.

but…………

"It's free..."

Watching the TV show in front of her again, Shizuku opened her mouth and yawned again. Now she finally understands why Mori Kogoro spends all day watching TV and drinking beer. Apart from these things, she really has nothing to do. This kind of office does not open for half a year, and it takes half a year for it to open. Besides, although this world is a world of evil spirits, it is generally considered peaceful. At least there have been no worldwide disasters. Even if ordinary evil spirits don't do it themselves, others will clean it up, right?

As for the surrounding business, Shizuku is not counting on it. With the power of Frostmourne, she has basically eaten up the surrounding evil spirits, and the ones in the distance dare not come to die. It can be said that this area is the cleanest and safest. Yes, no evil spirits and no monsters, nothing.

How about going to school, where you can hang out with innocent and lovely girls, and the current school uniform is different from the future, not the kind of suit shirt, but the traditional sailor suit model, and the sports shorts that have not been cancelled...

"Boom boom boom."

Just when Shizuku was thinking wildly, there was a knock on the door suddenly. Hearing the knock, Shizuku also withdrew his thoughts, sat down and looked at the door again.

"Please come in."

After a while, the office door slowly opened, and then a girl walked in. She raised her head, looked at Shizuku who was sitting behind the desk in front of her, and couldn't help being surprised.

"Ah, hello, is this... the Difficult Case Investigation Institute?"

"That's right, do you have anything to entrust?"

While gesturing for the other party to sit down, Shizuku looked at the girl in front of her curiously. She was wearing a white sailor suit, and she looked like she had just finished school, with a schoolbag in her hand. She was about fifteen or sixteen years old, and her long hair was tied With a ponytail tied behind his back, he looks playful and cute, but his expression is quite disturbed and gloomy.

"That... that... I..."

The girl was obviously a little nervous. She sat in front of Shizuku, staring at him uneasily, as if she didn't know what to say. Seeing her reaction, Shizuku smiled and poured her a cup of tea.

"Okay, don't be so nervous, there is something you can talk about slowly."

"Ah, yes, thank you..."

Perhaps it was Shizuku's smile and the aroma of the tea that dispelled the uneasiness. The girl's tense and stiff expression gradually relaxed. She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said in a low voice.

"Um... hello, it's the first time we meet, my name is Hinasaki Crimson. Actually... I'm here to entrust you to find my brother."

"Oh? Looking for your brother?"

"Yeah, he's been gone for almost two weeks and I don't know what to do..."

After opening the chatterbox, Hinasaki Crimson suddenly poured beans out of a bamboo tube, telling all of her experiences.

It turns out that Hinasaki Crimson has an older brother named Hinasaki Mafuyu. Because both parents died, the siblings depended on each other. And Hinasaki Mafuyu worked in the editorial department after graduating from university. In the editorial department, he met a reasoning writer named Gao Feng. The friendship between the two is very good, and for Hinasaki Mafuyu, Gao Gaoshou is his mentor.

However, not long ago, Gao Gaozheng went to a place called Ice House to collect materials for the second work, and then disappeared without a trace. After seeing the disappearance report posted in the newspaper, her older brother Hinasaki Mafuyu decided to go to the ice house to find the missing Takame Shisei.

At that time, Hinasaki Crimson was naturally very disturbed by this, but her brother comforted her and said that she would be back soon. However, after waiting for two weeks, Hinasaki Crimson did not receive any news from her brother, which made her really restless.

Originally, Hinasaki Crimson also planned to look for her elder brother, but at this time, she heard a rumor from her classmates—it is said that on a certain street near her school, there is a "Difficult Incident Investigation Agency" ", responsible for investigating those mysterious incidents, so Hinasaki Crimson started looking for it by mistake. At first, she also thought that her idea was weird. In fact, after she really found this firm, Hinasaki Crimson I also thought about leaving directly.

But in the end, she walked into the office.

"I see……………"

After hearing Hinasaki's narration, Shizuku nodded slightly.

"So your entrustment is to ask me to help find the missing brother, right?"

"Yes, that... I don't know if you can..."

"Of course, no problem."

Shizuku nodded.

"This is within the scope of our firm's business. Then I'll prepare and leave immediately. By the way, please tell me the exact location of the ice house."

"Me, I want to go too!"

However, just as Shizuku finished speaking, Hinasaki Crimson stood up and stared at her.

"I also want to go to my brother together, can I?"

"Of course, no problem."

Naturally, Shizuku would not refuse.
