Chapter 575 Train Wheels and Cursed Box
The hot spring suite where the deer is, the large terrace outside the glass sliding door of the living room.
The little old man is carrying a red deer outside his body, staying here to watch the snow scene of Lake Towada.
Miss Shikanoya is taking a bath, and the two of them will naturally not disturb her, but choose to stay outside.
There is thick snow and cold air on the terrace, but both ghosts are very comfortable.
The red deer is sitting facing Lake Towada, holding a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen with his front hooves like scissors and eating it heartily.
"Yo——"
This noodle soup is very delicious, and it warms the body after drinking it.
There is a large bowl next to the red deer.
It contains hot water, and... the little old man.
The scout took off his monk robe of nothingness and folded it neatly to one side, and he lay on his back and immersed in the hot water in the bowl, with his two arms on the edge of the bowl, and a small cut towel on his bald head.
He half-closed his eyes and looked extremely comfortable.
"Aba..."
Sure enough, it is a kind of enjoyment to watch the snow scene and take a bath in the cold winter.
Moreover, this big bowl is a perfect size for me!
Then I can take this bathing bowl home.
The master once taught me by example -
It is completely reasonable to take some benefits after doing good things.
And as a member of the Kamiya family, the scout must naturally practice this family tradition.
Since I helped the eldest lady save the young master Akimichi Nahiro here, I might as well take a bowl from her home and use it as a bathtub as a souvenir.
"Woo, woo."
After soaking for a while, the little old man gestured to the red deer next to him.
"Yo..."
The red deer's eyes rolled around, and it took a while to understand what the scout meant. It put down the half-eaten pork bone ramen, rubbed its belly, got up lazily, and took the kettle from the stove next to it.
Then it carefully poured it along the edge of the bowl where the scout was bathing.
"Aba -"
Thank you.
The slightly cold water temperature rose again, and the hot steam dispelled the chill, and the little old man collapsed comfortably.
Then, we could hear the sound of the deer picking up the bowl and eating noodles.
"Woo, woo!" The little old man stood up and waved his hand.
I didn't expect that the deer, who is not big, can eat a lot.
Leave some for me too!
This is specially prepared by Miss Kanoya for the two of us.
I can't not taste it at all.
...
Hot spring street.
The ancient street is built around a small river. With nearly a hundred years of history, as the seasons overlap, a fresh, simple, and romantic landscape has been precipitated here.
Stone-paved streets, neat wooden houses, hot spring shops and retro cafes are stacked layer by layer, and blue-black bricks and tiles are covered with white snow.
After nightfall, the kerosene lamps on the street reflect warm light, and the lights of hotels and shops are also dotted. The whole hot spring street is full of a strong "Taisho" style romance.
Ms. Shiomi drove the car through the streets of the hot spring street.
She had just returned from the hot spring hotel of the Akimichi family.
The two official exorcists who had gone with her were still there, but there were also colleagues who stayed in the forest where the train was exterminated. As the leader of the team, she had to go back to the forest to record some information and intelligence for the purpose of writing a report later.
It was already very late.
But there were still pedestrians walking in groups on the streets of the hot spring street, basically tourists who came here for sightseeing.
The street was not wide, and Shiomi slowed down the car very slowly.
Then, through the front windshield, she saw a figure walking slowly on the street.
It was a young man.
Probably a tourist, too, because he looked very interested in the street scene of the hot spring street.
But the young man was alone, and compared with the groups of friends and couples on the street, he was a little lonely.
As the distance got closer, Shiomi glanced through the car window.
"Oh? And a handsome little brother."
The young man looked like a college student, with handsome features and snowflakes on his black hair and shoulders, reflecting the faint light under the kerosene lamp on the street.
If she hadn't been on official business, the single Ms. Shiomi wouldn't mind getting out of the car and inviting the other party to have a drink at the bar on the street, so that the lonely boy could feel the beauty of the snowy country.
Continuing to lightly step on the brakes, Ms. Shiomi's car passed by the boy in front.
"Wait!"
At the moment of passing, Shiomi shuddered suddenly and stepped on the brakes hard.
Swish!
The tires rubbed against the stone street and stopped.
Shiomi lowered the window and looked back.
The boy had stopped and was standing a few meters away looking at her. There seemed to be a friendly smile in his eyes, but there was also a sharp light flashing that people couldn't ignore.
"He..."
There was no mistake, this boy was in the same industry.
He should be an exorcist, and the aura on his body is terrifying, at least it was very terrifying at the moment he brushed past her. Even Ms. Shiomi, who has quite a lot of experience in exorcism, felt the horror of falling into an ice cave.
The boy stood, his tall figure reflected by the warm and blurred light of the store behind him.
And through the reflection of the glass of the store window, Shiomi saw that there were ghosts standing around the boy!
A Gothic dress and a purple and white kimono were attached to his sides.
There was also a tall figure in a white dress standing behind him, and a small and cute figure in a red and white kimono, pulling his clothes and standing in front of him.
Next to it, there are huge black dogs and white alien beasts; beautiful children dragging whale tails whose gender is difficult to distinguish; young men with black wings on their backs and mysterious masks on their faces...
These ghosts of different sizes and shapes almost crowded the hot spring street block on this side.
"Isn't he not alone at all?" Ms. Shiomi's hair stood on end.
There were so many strange stories around that young man, and all of them looked extremely powerful.
What's the origin?
With this configuration, it wouldn’t be difficult to completely wipe out the Countermeasures Room branch in Aomori, right?
Then I saw the young man who might be the exorcist took out his pocket, shook it off and opened a book with a conspicuous certificate. With his free right hand, he raised his index finger, put it in front of his mouth and nose, and made a "silence" sign. action.
Ms. Shiomi could clearly see that the name "Kamiyagawa" was clearly written on the certificate.
"This...this is the disciple of ghosts and gods!?"
Seen alive!
If it is this big shot, it seems quite reasonable to appear here.
After all, his apprentice is here.
Ms. Shiomi felt a little relieved. She originally wanted to get out of the car and say hello to the ghost disciples and ask for an autograph or something, but she seemed to not want to be disturbed.
So in the end, he just nodded respectfully towards Kamiya, and then drove away, feeling frightened and excited.
Watching the official car go away, Kamiya put away the certificate again and smiled helplessly: "Mary, you just scared people."
Miss Mary beside her was expressionless and didn't reply. She just held Kamiya's hand and continued the interrupted sightseeing process.
The other ghost talkers also followed with great interest.
Buzz.
At this time, Kamiya's cell phone rang.
When I took it out, I saw several LINE messages from Xiaolu.
One is a photo of Suantang Hot Spring. There are no people in the picture.
Moreover--
[Report to Master! The hot spring bath is super comfortable! Master must try it too. ]
"Heh." Kamiya smiled and put his phone back in his pocket, "But since we're here, we really should soak in the hot springs. Let's go, find a hot spring shop, and we'll pack two hot spring pools."
"Po~Two? Then I understand, according to race, one for birds and beasts and small swimming fish, one for Lord Kamiya and humanoids." The eight-foot female took over happily.
"Haha, if you can convince Prajna, I have no problem with it."
Kamitani shrugged and walked towards a hot spring shop on the street.
As for the eight-foot girl, she really tried to entangle Prajna, who looked indifferent on the surface, but her ears were inexplicably red.
"Miss Prajna, how are you? Anyway, you are wrapped in a bath towel."
"You? Tsk!"
Prajna looked up and down at the eight-foot girl.
How many strips of this do you need to wrap?
…
Two days later, Xiaolu returned to Ourishima from Hakkoda after confirming that his friend Akimichi was fine.
Kamiyagawa also stayed at a hot spring hotel for two days and returned to Tokyo with a glowing face.
He lived a relatively relaxed life in the days after that, and his daily routine was to pay attention to the construction situation in the Changshi Ruling Area.
Because Isohime is doing the overall planning according to the original plan, Kamiya does not need to worry too much about the development of the other world. He usually only needs to spend a little time to listen to the progress reported by Isohime, and occasionally convene the main subordinates to hold a short meeting. Can. at present--
Under the management of Usagi Maru and Cat Shopkeeper, Paradise Market has been running smoothly.
Crab Princess has formed a standing army of ghost stories. The main members are the sea tribe. They have joined some of the ghost stories in the parks and hotel areas. There are also a small number of naturalized wild animals found in other areas who were convinced by Crab Princess with a conch hammer. Unbelievable.
The current main responsibilities of the standing army are to conduct combat training led by Crab Princess, as well as to guard and daily patrol various areas under Kamiya's rule, as well as important assets such as the Aokigahara Mine.
Aokigahara, Ainu Origin Land, and Sea Country are planning and developing the output of resource materials.
The three locations mainly correspond to three different landforms: forests, great plains, and oceans. They are large maps or even super large maps. By investing "manpower", you will definitely be able to obtain relatively stable material resources.
As for how to collect, process and produce useful materials, this part of such highly professional mental work was naturally entrusted to Sister Jue.
Kyoko was taken by Kamiya to inspect these three locations before, and then collected 10,000 soul crystals. Now he is compiling an encyclopedia related to material production on Takamagahara.
In addition, the two divine realms of Ainu, the Earth and the Sea, are currently under construction.
For example, the Mikami brothers in the Hearse Group and the Anzhai ship girl have recently been helping to transport manpower and ordinary construction resources in Haiguo.
Finally, there are matters related to the faith in the world. Granny Oucao is expanding the team of missionaries and spreading her power to preach in various places controlled by Kamiya, striving to ensure that all the people of Kaidan under the control of ghosts and gods can believe in the Tao Tianyuan Protestantism to the maximum extent. Contribute your own faith.
There are also some things in reality——
Recently, Kamiya took Chiaki Miyake, who was also on vacation, to meet his brother a few times.
Since then, I have been paying attention to the broadcast situation of "Uncertain Lady Mary".
The average ratings of the fourth episode of "Uncertain Lady Mary" exceeded 4% for a single episode.
It's probably because word-of-mouth is starting to grow, so it's steadily improving.
While the ratings of the new show are rising, Satoru's career as a leather-covered man is also on the rise, and his number of fans has skyrocketed recently. Last month, her live broadcast income, after excluding the platform's share and taxes, exceeded one million yen.
In the future, let alone becoming a top anchor, there is still hope for joining the first-line virtual anchor echelon.
With both new programs and live broadcasts blooming, Mary’s Xishe naturally received a large amount of income from secular beliefs.
After the TV broadcast of "Miss Mary" ends, it will start online broadcast, sell DVDs and peripherals, and sell copyrights in other fields, so as to accumulate the next wave of fans and gain faith. Mary may have hope. Go for A-level!
In short, things are developing for the better, both in the ordinary world and in this world.
In full swing, steaming, you can steam it!
…
After the New Year, Kanoya returned to Kamiya with large and small bags of island specialties.
Although there were some twists and turns during the process, her vacation ended happily.
Of course, the first thing Xiaolu did after he came back was to meet the master he had longed for.
"Then, Sister Ohara rushed into the forest..."
She first vividly told Master her experience of repelling the train in Hakkoda.
Although Kamiya had known the details for a long time, he couldn't resist his disciple's eyes, which were shining with anticipation.
If he didn't let this girl tell the story about the train withdrawal again in front of him, he would probably choke her to death.
"Originally, what I wanted Sister Obara to bring back as a trophy to Master was the wheel of the train. But as soon as Sister Obara touched the wheel, the wheel disappeared with a swish. I'm sorry, Master, for not being able to honor you. ." Xiaolu smacked his lips.
"It's okay. Since the train relics are related to the hearse group, even if you bring them back to me, they will be handed over to them in the end."
Although the strange relics of the train were absorbed by Obara, they were essentially absorbed by the hearse troupe.
Of course Kamiya also knows this. Xiaolu actually talked about it on the phone a few days ago.
Maybe the train can be considered a means of transportation, so there is a compatibility with the hearse group.
After absorbing the relics, the members of the Hearse Group gained "fire" and characteristics similar to "yin difference".
In legends and stories, trains often bear the image of "messengers from hell", so it is understandable that their relics have "shady" characteristics.
Among the members of the hearse troupe, the one who expresses the presence of train relics is Takayama Mai.
When Obara absorbed the two train wheels, Takayama was taking care of the children at home in Tokyo, namely Ayaori and Anzai Kanmu.
When people sit at home, power comes from heaven.
After accepting the relic, Gao Shan can summon a burning wooden cart, and he can also exhale two huge fire wheels like a cat demon.
Later, she also went to the training ground Hualing Gui School and tried to stand on the wooden wheel, but the effect was not very good.
How to use this new capability is still under study.
After the apprentice finished explaining his affairs, Kamiya tapped her head lightly: "Xiaolu, I also have something to show you."
"What?"
"Come with me."
Kamiya led the curious apprentice to the utility room at home, where there was a wooden box she had never seen before.
Dark red, it is decorated with exquisite maki-e lacquer gold, depicting patterns such as thousand birds, vines, and cherry blossoms.
