I loaded the geek game

The moment Ibuki's divine skeleton touched Inugami, it turned into floating tiny white particles and was then engulfed by the raging fire.

After accommodating the skeleton, the Inugami returned to the Shikigami statue.

After the ceremony was set up, Kamiya looked at the statue of the dog god again. The yellow-green light on the casket was flying around, and the animal-shaped statue, which had been coated with a layer of silver, reflected the faint light. It was ferocious and fierce, but also had a sense of sacredness.

Inugami is in very good condition now, and judging by past experience, he won't have any problems becoming a god.

"The dog is the kind of dog that I just keep raising. I don't have to worry about it too much, and he's almost graduated by himself."

Kamiya sighed in his heart.

indeed.

Inugami is the easiest shikigami to support and the one that requires the least worry.

Its promotion process is very different from that of other Shikigami who follow the "farming style" approach and develop step by step.

Starting with a dog, development depends entirely on snatching.

Just rob, rob, rob, rob, and eat all the way, and now he has the qualifications to become a god.

Inugami has proved through itself that its unique "plundering style" and the "farming style" of other Shikigami are no different in terms of high or low status, and that they ultimately lead to the same goal.

"I have never even built a shrine that was needed during the Aragami period. The faith needed to transition from an Aragami to a god was all obtained through plunder... But once I have completely housed Ibuki's bones, I should also operate it."

"After Ibuki's remains are contained, the Ibuki Daimyojin Shrine in reality can be completely controlled by the dog, and it will just be used as the core of its belief system. The shrines corresponding to other fallen gods whose faith it has plundered can also enshrine its statues as well."

Anyway, the idea of ​​training Inugami after he becomes a god is to inherit the belief system of Ibuki Daimyojin.

As for the other gods whose faith had been plundered by the Inugami, especially those fallen gods whose faith systems were not reserved by the remaining shikigami under Kamiyagawa...

Although these corresponding shrines cannot be completely controlled by Inugami like the Ibuki Shrine, it is still feasible to make the beliefs in these gods become subordinate to the Inugami beliefs and continue to take incense and offerings from them.

Establishing the Inugami shrine inside those shrines is equivalent to collecting protection fees.

Such an arrangement is enough to ensure that Inugami can obtain stable faith and worship even after becoming a god.

If that's not enough...

After that, we can just grab a few more gods’ belief systems.

Anyway, this is how I have come all the way, and the "plundering" style has been consistent.

After completely settling the Inugami side, Kamiya temporarily left Karin Ghost School.

He has a lot of things to do recently, especially in the training of shikigami and subordinate ghost stories.

The materials needed to build a shrine related to the authority of "lust and transformation" for the Hachisha Woman have now been collected.

Sister Jue will start construction in the next few days.

There is also Prajna.

The remains of the god Anyu Gami have been taken by Kamiya Kawa, and the deification ceremony of Prajna should also be put on the agenda.

The power of faith that Prajna currently possesses is mainly obtained from operations, with the main focus on long-term and sustainable development.

Unlike Gouzi, who swallowed Anyu Jiamei whole and grabbed the big one directly.

But for now, the sources of belief in Prajna are still very wide. When all the things are added up, the scale is actually very large, not inferior to that of Inugami in its current state.

Moreover, the bones of the Cursed Dragon God are much stronger than those of Ibuki Daimyojin, and are more difficult to absorb and utilize.

Kamiyagawa intends to continue to operate for Prajna, and then push her to become a god smoothly and without risk.

As for how to operate it, it depends on Wenche Yaofei and GENIE Animation Studio.

GENIE just released "Karasu Tengu's Yokai Exorcism" this year, so it would take too long to carefully produce a TV series.

However, Wen Che Yao Fei, who is in charge of GENIE studio, had proposed to Kamiya Kawa a long time ago that they should expand the channels for gaining Shikigami faith in the cultural industry, and had been preparing for this.

Simply put, we want to open up a few more tracks.

Animated films, novels, comics, and even games that span a wide range of industries...

Anyway, GENIE currently has sufficient funds, and has expanded its manpower and connections a lot, so it can try out the ACG industry. Even if a certain project loses a little money, it’s not a big deal.

"According to Xiao Wenche, the current focus of planning and preparation is comics."

The gap from anime to comics is not particularly large.

The quality of the comics' plot is ensured by the preparation of the script by Chiaki Miyake, who can work energetically for 20 hours a day as long as she stays in the live fish hotel without being disturbed.

And within GENIE, there are many skilled painters.

It would be quite promising to launch a comic series with the character based on the image of Prajna.

Anyway, Wen Che Yao Fei has actually prepared almost all the corresponding matters, so Shen Gu doesn't need to worry too much -

In terms of plot, the new comic can be connected and interacted with "Mary Fluctuating" and "Karasu Tengu's Yokai Exorcism House" to further enrich and improve the framework of the GENIE Yokai Universe.

If the comic receives good enough response in the future, it can be adapted into a TV series.

One fish, two meals.

……

This world.

Yoshikoji Temple, Ibaraki Prefecture.

Tsurumi Aoi sat in the living room of her own temple, gently wiping the blade of her Ichimonji with a soft cloth.

Weapons are the backbone of her ability to exorcise spirits, so they naturally need to be well maintained.

The TV in the living room was on, broadcasting a new supernatural show from TBS. It seemed to be an interview segment now, and the host was talking to a specially invited folklorist -

"…So, what do you think of such supernatural events?"

"In short, perhaps there really are supernatural forces around us in our daily lives that humans cannot understand..."

Tsurumi, who was maintaining his weapons, looked up and his gaze paused on the TV screen for a second or two.

Recently, it seems like it started this year, there have been a lot more supernatural programs on TV.

In the past, such programs were usually broadcast late at night, but now they are also broadcast during the day.

Moreover, it is said that the ratings of this type of program are surprisingly not low.

In short, more and more people in society are discussing supernatural events.

"The frequency of activities related to ghost stories is getting more and more intense. Is this the direction of public opinion? Is this due to instructions from the Countermeasures Office?"

Tsurumi Aoi thought so.

Thanks to having a great master like Kamiyagawa, Tsurumi has had many contacts with the Countermeasures Room.

I seem to have heard similar rumors recently.

Perhaps one day in the future, the Countermeasures Office will completely disclose to the public the fact that monsters and ghosts exist.

The current direction of public opinion may be a preparation for this.

Although being open to the whole society will inevitably increase people's discussion and fear of strange stories, the generation of "weird public opinions" will be further accelerated.

But this may be the last resort.

Mainly considering the frequency of ghost stories nowadays, it is really difficult to continue concealing them in the information age.

For example, not long ago, the disappearance of the entire Jinseki Town caused a lot of controversy.

An entire town was destroyed overnight. This kind of thing is no small matter in any case. No matter how much public opinion is suppressed, someone will definitely know about it.

Although the official explanation was later given that Jinseki Town in Tokushima Prefecture was destroyed by a strong earthquake.

But people don't buy this argument.

It was said to be a natural disaster, but apart from some government officials coming out to bow, there was no detailed report on the follow-up situation in the disaster area.

The area around Jinseki-cho remains blocked to this day.

No matter whether it was the civilian rescue team or the relief supplies and large numbers of paper cranes prepared by the people, they were all not allowed to enter.

There are even people on the Internet who broke the news that on the night of the so-called Jinseki-cho earthquake, a terrifying vision was seen in the sky in the direction of Jinseki-cho.

Not only were there lightning and thunder, but there was also a vague sense of some huge monster circling, tumbling, and roaring in the dark clouds, which was extremely terrifying.

At the beginning, corresponding videos were leaked online.

However, the relevant videos have now been deleted and cannot be found.

Moreover, in the past two days, some gossip suddenly broke out in the entertainment circle, which attracted the public's attention to a certain extent.

Anyway, the information held by the Countermeasures Office will cause unrest whether it is made public or not.

Of course, Tsurumi could do nothing to help.

All she could do was to seize the time to practice and strengthen herself so as to cope with all unknown possibilities. If there was a greater chaos in the future, she should try not to hold back Teacher Kamiya and her senior sister.

Tsurumi Aoi sat in the living room, slowly and meticulously maintaining the three swords that currently belonged to her.

After doing all this, she took the "Firefly Pill" in her hand and examined it.

Tsurumi had just acquired this very strange sword not long ago.

The specific usage method has not yet been fully developed and mastered.

We have to try harder.

"We'll have to practice again later."

Putting down Hotaru, Tsurumi Aoi stood up from the living room and walked out the door.

Today is the anniversary of Tsurumi's mother's death. She came back to Ibaraki specifically to pay tribute to her mother and visit her father.

I will go back to Tokyo tomorrow.

Anyway, the distance between Ibaraki Prefecture and Tokyo is not that far.

As for Tokyo...

Mr. Kamiya has been very busy these days and is often not seen.

It seems like I go to GENIE studio often.

Speaking of which, this animation studio, which has attracted quite a bit of attention since its debut in the past two years, Tsurumi family's Yoshikoji has also invested a lot of money in it.

It is somewhat related to Tsurumi.

She knew that Miss Kamiya Shiori, who was in charge of the studio and was also the teacher's Kaidan Bunsha Youhi, was preparing to make a big splash in the field of serialized comics.

It seems that Mr. Kamiya is also paying close attention to this matter.

Also, the teacher has been visiting Miss Onizuka, the goddess of the Kyono Shrine, quite often recently.

The two often traveled together to various places to meet with different shrines and temple forces.

After all, Tsurumi is Kamiya's beloved apprentice, and he already knows the inside story and actual purpose of these things: "In short, they are all preparing for the Shikigami faith under Kamiya-sensei."

Teacher Kamiya, it seems like you are really working hard.

No wonder Senior Sister Shikanoya always says, "I must honor my master today."

……

Tsurumi Aoi walked to the main hall of Yoshikoji Temple.

Here her father was found.

"dad."

"Aoi, have you paid respects to your mother?"

Mr. Tsurumi, wearing the robes of a presiding monk, stood in front of the Buddha statue in the main hall.

In front of him was a neatly folded women's kimono.

Moon white background with floral patterns.

Even though it is folded, you can still feel that the kimono itself is beautiful and gorgeous.

"I've been to the cemetery." Tsurumi nodded and turned his attention to the white kimono. "Dad, this is..."

Tsurumi could sense a hint of the atmosphere of a strange story lingering on this kimono.

The scent is fresh, not too strong.

But when he looked closely, he could not see any strange things, so it should be just a ghost object that had been possessed by some strange thing before.

"It's an old-fashioned kimono from Kosode. It was just sent to me by a lady named Fujino. She wants to offer it to a temple and asked us to purify and process it."

Mr. Tsurumi replied, and slowly unfolded the moon-white women's kimono.

The fabric drapes softly, revealing the full appearance of the kimono, which is indeed a more ancient style, with a cross collar and slanted lapels, gathered cuffs, and openings under the armpits.

very beautiful.

In Japan, many shrines and temples have businesses that accept evil spirits.

Jiguang Temple is no exception.

Moreover, the current Jiguang Temple is under the protection of Miss Mary herself.

Placing some supernatural objects in the temple will not cause any problems at all, not to mention that it is just a ghost object that has been possessed by ghost stories.

"What kind of weird story is it?"

Tsurumi withdrew his gaze from the Kosode kimono and asked casually.

"According to Ms. Fujino, last night, when the kosode was being placed on the hanger, she saw several white and delicate arms rustling out from the cuffs of the kimono. Those arms appeared briefly, pulling at the cuffs of the kimono, and then disappeared quickly."

"Ms. Fujino was startled and quickly sent the dress to us. However, the monster that appeared in this Kosode kimono is no longer here."

Mr. Tsurumi told his daughter about the story related to this kimono.

It doesn't sound like a particularly serious supernatural experience.

Apart from being frightened, Ms. Fujino was not seriously injured.

After hearing these words, Tsurumi Aoi thought of a possible explanation for the ghost that was attached to this Kosode kimono last night.

Small sleeve hand.

The monster Kosode no Te began to be recorded and rumored in the Edo period, and it has a great relationship with the kimono.

And it usually only appears on women's kimonos.

The form that people usually see is the same as what happened to Ms. Fujino, with arms sticking out from the narrow-sleeved kimono.

Relatively harmless.

It is said that this monster was created by women's obsession with beautiful clothes.

possible……

Is he a kind of monster that is born with a desire for beauty? (End of this chapter)
