Tokyo Ghost Diary

At the end of May and about to enter June in Tokyo, the weather is getting hotter and hotter. Even though the sun has already set, a layer of sweat still breaks out on the white forehead of Rin Hoshino, who is following his brother and walking on the street in the night.

I just don’t know whether it’s hot or nervous.

Just ten minutes ago, she followed her brother and took a wooden box from a woman wearing long black clothes in Sanchome Park... and now they were walking in the direction of the antique shop.

Hoshino Rin didn't know what was in the wooden box, but her intuition told her that it must be related to Marisa.

slam-la-

The rolling shutter door was lifted, revealing the glass showcase and wooden door inside. Gen Hoshino held the wooden box in one hand and took out the key to open the door.

He walked in first, followed closely by Hoshino Rin.

After not coming for a while, there was a little dust in the antique shop that had not been cleaned. Hoshino Gen followed the practice of a certain coolie before joining the job, threw a piece of talisman paper in, blew away the dust on the surface, and gave it a rough cleaning. The effect Well, it's almost the same as vacuuming it once.

After changing his shoes and entering the house, Hoshino Gen didn't make any stop, and took Hoshino Rin straight into the exhibition hall behind the double wooden doors.

The cold breath hit his face, and Hoshino Rin, who felt a little hot just now, shivered instantly. The lights in the exhibition hall were on, but the light shining on the booths was very dim.

Especially the booth with antiques, it makes people shudder just by looking at it.

Hoshino Rin stretched out his little hand and pinched the hem of his brother's clothes with his index finger and thumb, not daring to look around at all.

Hoshino Gen ignored her and went to an unused booth. He bit his finger and started it with blood. Seeing the golden and intricate patterns lighting up on the pillars, Hoshino Gen immediately opened the wooden box in his hand and took out the sandalwood weapon. The comb was placed on it.

The comb trembled slightly, then stopped moving after a moment.

Hoshino Rin stared at the picture in front of him, quietly waiting for a miracle to happen.

Hoshino Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed it at the red sandalwood comb on the stand with the wound that had not yet healed. He squeezed hard, and a string of blood beads dripped down, instantly forming a mottled halo of blood on the comb.

The comb that was very calm a second ago suddenly trembled violently. As the blood halo was absorbed bit by bit, a red brilliance bloomed on the purple comb, and then, a shadow slowly appeared on the comb.

He was pale, dressed in red, with wet long hair hanging behind his back. His opened eyes were full of resentment. The shadow saw Gen Hoshino and Rin Hoshino in front of him. He suddenly screamed and rushed towards this direction. Gen Hoshino was unmoved. , Hoshino Rin shrank his neck in fright.

But at this moment, a circle of pale golden transparent light suddenly rose from the edge of the booth. No matter how hard the shadow was beaten, it could not get past this light shield.

The shrill roar echoed in the exhibition hall. Hoshino Rin's nervousness and fear at the beginning gradually turned into sadness. She looked at Mariina who transformed into a ghost, her voice trembled and she cried: "Marina-chan, you don't remember me. Yet?"

Mariina didn't respond at all to Hoshino Rin's call, and was still there attacking the light shield in an attempt to escape the seal.

"Small Town Mariina, your murderer is dead, who are you still resenting?" Hoshino Gen's faint voice penetrated the light mask and poured into Mariina's ears. As expected, the moment he heard these words, Mariina instantly After calming down, she turned her neck slightly stiffly and looked at Hoshino Yuan, and Yusen's eyes became a little clearer.

"I'm not questioning you, I'm just asking. I really want to know, besides the murderer who killed you, do you have anyone else you hate?" Hoshino Gen asked again in a calm tone.

"..." Xiaocheng Mariina was silent. She just stared at Hoshino Gen quietly, but a slight confusion gradually appeared in her eyes.

Li Gui is an existence driven by obsession, and the obsession that often accounts for the largest proportion is resentment. Marica was tortured and killed, and after she transformed into Li Gui, the person she resented the most was naturally the one who killed her. The murderer, but now that the murderer is dead, just like Hoshino Gen asked, who does she still resent?

Her life was not difficult. Except for the last moment, she never met any bad people. Although her family was not particularly wealthy, it was considered middle class. Her parents loved her, and her classmates and teachers liked her. Even after joining tky02 at the beginning During that time, she had the experience of being made things difficult for her, but she didn't really care. Moreover, the person who made things difficult for her was later dismissed... not to mention the other members who were like sisters to her.

Mari Kojoro herself was confused. At this moment, the evil spirit on her body was visibly dissipated. Her hands with sharp nails dropped down, and her head with wet hair drooped. She looked like a criminal rather than a terrifying ghost. I made a mistake and am reflecting on my child.

Seeing this scene, Hoshino Gen was a little surprised. After all, although it is possible for evil ghosts to eliminate their obsessions, most of them will quickly extract new resentments from their past unpleasant experiences in life. In the end, even if their obsessions are eliminated, , and may even be derived to a point similar to - "He once refused to lend me an eraser, he deserves to die!"

There are not many people who can completely erase their resentment and restore their own sanity like Chi-chan. Unless they were a particularly kind-hearted person in life, turning into a ghost after death will basically result in being swallowed up by resentment.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as implicitly complying with the truth that "good and evil will eventually be rewarded".

Therefore, Hoshino Gen was surprised that Mariina in front of him could eliminate the resentment in his heart so easily, but he was not too surprised. After all, he remembered that Hoshino Rin had told him before that Mariina was indeed a very good person during his lifetime.

"Are you awake?" Hoshino Gen crossed his arms and asked Mariina, who was lifeless in the light barrier.

"……Thanks."

Gen Hoshino has actually heard Mariina's voice, of course, on TV. With how popular tky02 is in Japan today, it's not unusual to see their MV playing on big screens everywhere you walk on the street.

Compared with before she was alive, Mariina's voice is a bit more hoarse than before, as if she had soaked her throat in water for too long.

"Marina-chan!" Hoshino Rin was covering her mouth at this moment, tears falling down. She really didn't expect that she could still hear Marina's voice!

Mariina followed the sound, and her empty eyes looked at Hoshino Rin complicatedly: "I'm sorry, Rin-chan, did I just... scare you?"

Hoshino Rin was speechless now. She just shed tears and shook her head vigorously.

"Everyone at tky02, how are you?"

Hoshino Rin tried her best not to burst into tears. She choked and said with difficulty: "Everyone... we all... miss you..."

"Really?" Mariina lowered her head again and looked at her transparent hands. There was helplessness in her voice: "I'm afraid no one will want to see me like this..."

"No!" Hoshino Rin said urgently while wiping his tears: "Didn't I see you now? You...you don't even know how happy I am now...I...I..."

Mariina raised her face and smiled. Even though her delicate and beautiful face became too pale, it was still so bright and charming once she smiled: "You can see me and still be safe. That's because your brother, But, no one else has a magical brother like you, Rin-chan, I... am already dead after all."

Hoshino Rin was stunned, and then subconsciously looked to her side, but her side was already empty. Hoshino Gen left quietly at some point, obviously leaving this place to them who should be separated forever.
