Tokyo Ghost Diary

"Well, okay, your sister's side is fine, now it's time to deal with our side."

Asaba Shinichi put away the mobile phone he used to communicate with the special task force, smiled and turned his eyes to Ryoko who was still nailed to the wall.

Takasugi Yusuke, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, stood up with one hand on the ground. He smiled and walked up to Ryoko, who had an expressionless face and dull eyes. He made two random gestures with his right hand in the air, and a layer of light white fluorescence enveloped his hand.

His index finger and middle finger touched the middle of Liangzi's forehead together, and with a little force, his fingers sank directly into the forehead as if they were insubstantial. Then he suddenly grasped and pulled, and a translucent spirit body emerged from Ryoko was separated from her body.

And Ryoko on the wall instantly dropped her head and lost consciousness.

"Bang!" Asaha Shinichi snapped his fingers, and the long ink nails that pinned Ryoko's limbs disappeared instantly. The girl fell straight to the ground, but Asaha Shinichi was standing in a position where he could reach out and catch her. Picking up Ryoko like a princess, Asaha Nobu smiled at Gen Hoshino and Yusuke Takasugi, said "I'll give him back first" and left the room.

There were only two people left in the room. Apart from the continuous sound of rain, the quiet breathing in the room could be heard. Gen Hoshino took out a small piece of the straw man pendant that he had secretly pinched from his previous king's game. straw.

The weird translucent soul body that Takasugi Yusuke held in his hand immediately moved towards Hoshino Gen.

"Well... there is indeed something wrong with that weird hanging ornament." Yusuke Takayama used his free hand to support his chin: "That means there is something wrong with the owner of this hotel and the restaurant clerk where we dined before."

Gen Hoshino didn't reply. After all, what Yusuke Takayama said was obvious. They had already guessed it, and now they just verified it in this way.

He took a step forward and came to Takayama Yusuke, stretched out his hand to grab the group of spirits. Takasugi Yusuke looked at him curiously, and saw Hoshino Gen's lips buzzing as he recited a string of obscure words, and then his eyes focused, and this group of spirits appeared. A shrill scream erupted from the spirit body.

But the scream only lasted for half before it stopped abruptly, and Hoshino Gen had already closed his eyes at this moment.

The door of the Japanese room was opened, and Asaha Shinichi, who had left not long ago, came back. As soon as he entered the door, he curiously asked: "What's going on? I seemed to have heard a scream just now?"

Takayama Yusuke shrugged and pointed at Gen Hoshino, who had his eyes closed in front of him.

Yusuke Takayama came over with interest and walked around Gen Hoshino: "Hmm... It seems that he has entered a state of sleep? No... It seems more like meditating than sleeping, or in other words, his consciousness is sneaking in."

As he spoke, he looked at Hoshino Gen who was still holding on to the wilted supernatural hand, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Could he be reading the memory of the spirit body?" Bar?"

In fact, just as Asaba Shinichi had guessed, Hoshino Gen's consciousness was wandering through fragments of blurred and fragmented memories at this moment.

Soul-searching methods have always been cruel, bloody and inhumane. When his master taught him, he repeatedly warned him not to use them lightly, but it was perfectly appropriate to use them in situations like this.

"Death does not mean the end, you know... ghost? Do you want your son back?"

"This kind of thing is called ghost fragrance. As long as ordinary people smell a whiff of it, they will become trance-like and be at your mercy..."

"Ghosts can also get married. Have you ever heard of ghost marriage?"

"It's actually not difficult to create a powerful ghost..."

In a fragmented scene, Hoshino Gen saw a familiar figure from a first-person perspective - the uncle who raised his ghoul son.

So this group of spirits is the mastermind behind the Tokyo Bay ghoul incident? Or should I say a promoter?

Hoshino Gen dives his consciousness into a deeper spiritual sea.

There were more and more scattered pictures in front of him, mostly insignificant little things, but soon, he saw an interesting picture again.

The surrounding scenery was flying by, and the memory owner's steps were hurried and panicked. Obviously, he was running away. A figure jumped down from the roof of the nearby low house and stopped in front of him. It was a long hair on the left side of his forehead. Takasugi Yusuke has only one horn and his eyes are glowing green.

The owner of the memory turned around in panic, but the road behind him was blocked by Asaba Shinichi, who was wearing a samurai robe and holding a sword in his hand.

After being hit hard from behind, the owner of the memory was kicked out by Takasugi Yusuke. Asaha Shinichi grinned, drew his sword and made a circular slash in the air. The scene in the memory began to tumble, and finally settled on the scene of a headless corpse falling to the ground. .

Hoshino Gen hesitated for a moment, then continued to work subconsciously.

The images behind were distorted and scarlet, and most of them had no discernible content. Until the sea of ​​​​spirit hit the bottom, the last scene among hundreds of millions of memory fragments appeared before Hoshino Gen's eyes.

A group of figures in black robes and hoods gathered around with their heads lowered. Directly in front was a figure in black robes and hoods with their backs to the owner of the memory. He stood in the dark background, looking back and said lightly:

"You exposed our existence."

The darkness became so intense that nothing could be seen except for those eyes, those crazy and calm eyes, but it seemed that what he was looking at was not the owner of this memory, but looking at Hoshino Gen. generally.

The surrounding space trembled violently and was soon filled with cracks.

Gen Hoshino silently exited the soul-searching state, and opened his eyes with fluttering eyelashes. Almost at the same moment he opened his eyes, the soul in his hand exploded into a piece of translucent light with a howl. Disappeared in the air.

"How is it? What did you see?" Asaha Shinichi's voice came from his ears immediately.

Hoshino Yuan took back his hand, thought for a while, and said: "I saw this spirit body was killed by you before it was alive. After death, it turned into a ghost and went to an unknown place, where I saw a group of men in black hiding their faces. , a person who is most likely the leader is very angry that this guy exposed their existence... It became like this and was stuffed in a scarecrow pendant. Maybe it was the punishment of the men in black. "

"It turns out it's that guy." Qian Yuxin smiled and said, "That's a coincidence."

After saying that, he lowered his eyes and lost much of the smile on his face: "Now that we've caught the tail, we can't let it go anymore. You two, let's go to that ramen shop and grab another one now." Just a scarecrow, or should we fix it here first?”

Hoshino Gen has walked to the corner of the room and sat on the floor. He leaned against the wall and closed his eyes: "The soul search just now took a lot of energy from me. If you want to take action, please do so. I need to take a rest."

"Haha, splitting up is the biggest taboo in horror movies." Shinichi Asaba regained his smile and said to Yusuke Takayama next to him: "Yusuke, you should also rest. I'll keep watch."
