Tokyo Ghost Diary

The sound of dead branches being trampled was particularly harsh in this silent village filled with mist.

Gen Hoshino picked up his knife and smashed open the door of the dilapidated house behind the fog in front of him. What came into view was a rotting corpse hanging from the beams in the house.

This scene, which is enough to make ordinary people collapse, did not cause any change in the expressions of the three of them. A translucent tiger with a huge body and sinister eyes suddenly jumped out from Takasugi Yusuke's side and grabbed the hanging body. The body was torn into pieces and swallowed into the stomach with three blows.

"A remnant soul." Takasugi Yusuke said.

"Tsk..." Asaha Shinichi hit his head with his scabbard in displeasure: "Why are all the remnant souls I encountered along the way?"

Hoshino Gen ignored them and stepped into the abandoned wooden house. With one pass of his knife, the black hemp rope on the beam fell down and he grabbed it.

There was a rather pungent smell of corpses on it. The tiger shikigami who had just eaten a remnant soul circled around Hoshino Gen, grinning at the hemp rope in his hand, and occasionally opened his mouth to let out a rather ferocious breath.

Asaha Shinichi came over: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong with this rope?"

A piece of talisman flew out of Gen Hoshino's waist and fell on the hemp rope in his hand. Suddenly a wisp of flames spread. Suddenly, the hemp rope that had been calmly held by Hoshino Gen suddenly twisted and struggled violently. Hoshino Gen threw it on On the ground, when the flames extinguished, the piece of hemp rope had turned into a charred snake with a severed tail.

"Oh! Transformation? Or illusion?" Asaha Nobuichi looked surprised.

As soon as he finished speaking, Takasugi Yusuke outside the door suddenly reminded him: "Watch your step!"

Without thinking, Asaha Shin drew the knife and stabbed the ground. He only heard the sound of flesh penetration, and a krait was nailed to the ground motionlessly by Muramasa.

Gen Hoshino and Shinichi Asaba looked around and realized that there were tangled krait snakes everywhere in this room. The mist filled the air, and the snakes also made bursts of "hissing" sounds. Red flag.

"Wow, it's so disgusting!" Shinichi Asaba rubbed his arm that was covered in goosebumps, and pressed his elbow against Hoshino Gen: "Quick, Hoshino, burn them, this is so disgusting."

Perhaps sensing the malicious intent of the intruder, the snakes suddenly spread out and swarmed towards the two of them from all directions.

The tiger god roared and smashed the head of a snake that was approaching him with one claw. Gen Hoshino threw out a few talismans and turned them into fireballs that exploded.

At this time, Asaha Shinichi suddenly turned his head and looked out the window of the house. A terrifying and disheveled human face was pressed against the dirty glass.

"Yusuke! Window! Don't let it escape!" After saying that, he ignored the snakes and came to the window in a flash and stabbed them with a knife.

The glass shattered with the sound, but the human face outside the window was far away. Only then did Asaha Shinichi realize that the owner of that face really only had a human face. Starting from the neck to the tail, everything looked like a snake. , gold rings and silver rings alternate on the body, which is very weird.

"Roar——!" The lion-style god who was following Takasugi Yusuke roared and flew over, biting the body of the monster with a human face and a snake body.

The monster let out a very human scream, the sound was no different from the scream of a normal woman when she encountered dangerous pain!

As soon as Asaba Shin jumped out of the window, the moon-white blade drew an arc and slashed towards the neck of the human-faced snake. However, what made him and Takasugi Yusuke who came after him were stunned was that the lion-style god had been killed just a second ago. After biting the screaming human-faced snake, the sound suddenly stopped. In an instant, the body spread out, turning into silver krait and golden krait and quickly fled around.

Asaha Shinichi's slash fell into the air as a matter of course.

On the contrary, in the dilapidated wooden house that was already burning at this moment, the group of snakes rolling in the flames gathered together and condensed into a new human-faced snake.

A talisman floated in front of Hoshino Gen. He raised his sword finger and tapped it. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot out. The human-faced snake turned around in panic and tried to escape, but the tiger-style god blocked the door at some point. It opened its blood Pen Dakou pounced towards the human-faced snake.

There was a tiger in front, a thunder behind, and the human-faced snakes once again scattered into a field of golden and silver krait snakes, but the floor was quietly covered by a dark, sticky and deep shadow. The moment those snakes landed, pitch-black thorns penetrated them. they.

Gen Hoshino looked out the window. Asaha Shinichi had taken off his sunglasses, his red eyes were shining with evil light, and the source of the shadow covering the ground came from his feet.

The dark thorns that penetrated the snakes turned into crows, grabbed the snakes and flew out of the window, throwing them in front of Asaha Shinichi. Finally, all the snakes gathered together and turned into a huge but seemingly dying snake. A human-faced snake.

Hoshino Gen also left the room where the fire became more intense and came to Asaba Shinichi and Takasugi Yusuke. The three of them stared at the increasingly illusory human-faced snake on the ground until it exploded into a sheet of light and scattered, leaving only one The gold ring and a silver ring were in place.

As soon as Qian Yuxin stepped forward to pick it up, played with it twice in his hands, he couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, it's finally open. I've got the first load. You two, who wants it?"

Neither Gen Hoshino nor Yusuke Takayama spoke. After all, it was Shinichi Asaba who killed the Man-Faced Snake, and he was also the one who contributed the most.

"Ha, you're welcome then." Qian Yuxin threw a pair of gold and silver rings at his shadow on the ground, and his shadow automatically swallowed up the pair of gold and silver rings.

Wow——!

There was a loud noise, and the burning dilapidated house collapsed, but none of the three people took a look and continued walking deeper into the village where the fog became thicker.

......

In the suburbs of Koto District, Tokyo, the Sasaki family estate.

"Mr. Shinichiro..." The middle-aged man in an exquisite black suit bowed deeply to Shinichiro Sasaki who was drinking tea on a wicker chair: "This time, I really want you to come out!"

"Tsk...I'm already my age, and you still want me to risk my life with those ghosts. You really don't respect the elderly at all. I'll complain to the Elderly Protection Association." Sasaki Shinichiro put down the empty tea cup. He went to the wicker chair next to him and waved, and Sasaki Ayane, who was standing behind him, stepped forward to help his grandfather add new tea.

The middle-aged man in the black suit sighed helplessly, and kept his posture of bowing to the end. He said with a miserable face: "If we have other methods, we will not bother you, old gentleman, but that ghost is running around in Tokyo. In just a short time, Day and night, countless people died at its hands. We managed to carry out a roundup, but the result was heavy casualties. Now in Tokyo, the only person we can rely on is you, old man!"
