Tokyo Ghost Diary

"Ayuan, where are you going? I want to go too~"

Tamamo Mae, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, saw Gen Hoshino leaving the room and heading straight to the entrance of the apartment. He quickly stood up and shouted to him.

Hoshino Gen looked back at her and said casually: "I'll go out to get something. I'll be back soon. Just stay at home and watch TV."

"..." Tamamo Mae puffed her cheeks, but didn't say anything more. She jumped slightly and sat back on the sofa. But before Hoshino Gen went out, she couldn't help but shout to him again: " Ayuan, I want to eat a small cake, strawberry flavor!"

"I know, I'll order it for you later." Gen Hoshino responded to Tamamo Mae before closing the door.

......

On the elevator, Gen Hoshino lowered his head and used his mobile phone to help Tamamo-mae order takeout and deliver cakes. During this period, the elevator stopped once on the eleventh floor. What came up was a man about 20 years old, wearing cool summer clothes and wearing a Thin beret for women.

As the elevator went down, the other party's eyes fell on Hoshino Yuan several times. Finally, Hoshino Yuan finished ordering the takeout and put away his mobile phone.

The girl wearing a beret suddenly spoke as if she had finally prepared something, "Handsome guy? Hello..."

Hoshino Gen looked at her with calm eyes, without any emotion.

The beret girl swallowed, but still mustered up the courage to smile and said: "I am Gaoqiao who just moved to this apartment two days ago. Handsome boy, are you also a resident of this apartment? You have been busy these two days. I haven’t had time to visit my house yet because of the moving matter..."

Gen Hoshino was relieved. In Japan, most people who have moved to a new home will visit their neighbors with gifts and ask them to take good care of them in the future. Over the years, this has almost become a custom.

It's just that the apartments where Gen Hoshino and the others live are all flat floors, with only one family on the first floor. Although they can barely be considered neighbors because of the relationship between them, house visits are nothing. It is necessary, of course it depends on personal habits...

Hoshino Yuan nodded lightly and said nothing.

So the beret girl named Takahashi continued: "We met in the elevator last time, do you remember?"

Gendo Hoshino looked at this girl a few times, and he got a bit of an impression. When he went downstairs the evening before yesterday, he seemed to have met this person——

But before Hoshino Genna could react, the beret girl smiled again: "So I think we are somewhat destined, so can you tell me which floor you live on? I have prepared gifts for everyone in the apartment. When the time comes, I will make sure to bring gifts suitable for a young boy like you, handsome man."

"..." Hoshino Gen thought for a while and finally said: "Thank you, but I don't think so. I don't often have people at home."

Ding-dong-

As soon as Hoshino Gen finished speaking, the elevator arrived at the first floor. Hoshino Gen took one last look at the girl, put his hands in his jacket pockets, and walked out of the elevator first.

The girl looked at his back and blinked as if she didn't react. But when she suddenly came to her senses, the elevator door had slowly closed. She screamed "Oh!" and took steps to rush out of the elevator before that happened. , but unfortunately there was no time to prevent the "tragedy" from happening.

The beret girl was the only one left in the elevator that started to rise again. She looked at the closed elevator door and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. She just didn't know whether she was sighing that she had to take the elevator again or regretting it. Something else...

......

It's still the same coffee shop.

When Gen Hoshino arrived on his motorcycle, he happened to see the waiter of the cafe turning over the open wooden sign in front of the door to a notice saying it was temporarily closed.

When the other party saw Gen Hoshino coming over with his helmet off, he pushed open the glass door and greeted with a smile: "Mr. Hoshino, you are here. Master Nishida is already waiting inside."

When Hoshino Gen walked in, he saw Master Nishida sitting on a wicker chair in a majestic manner, staring at him seriously.

On the table next to Master Nishida, there is a silver suitcase. Judging from the style, it looks a bit like the one he brought yesterday...

In the coffee shop, apart from Master Nishida, the only one sitting behind the bar was Mingka Asara, who was on the phone. When the other party saw Gen Hoshino coming, he just smiled and nodded, then turned his gaze away.

Gen Hoshino came to Master Nishida. Master Nishida didn't talk nonsense. He seemed to have a resolute personality no matter what he did. He motioned to Gen Hoshino to the silver suitcase on the table: "The things are in there, take them out and try them." Bar."

Gen Hoshino opened the suitcase and found a bone-white Ouroboros bracelet lying quietly in the central indentation of the sponge filling. The eyes on the snake's head of the bracelet were still glowing with green and oozing ghosts. Light.

Even without touching him, just by being stared at by the pair of green snake eyes on the bracelet, Hoshino Gen had a creepy feeling all over his body.

He couldn't help but frown and looked around at the light-transmitting glass walls and windows of the cafe: "Try it here?"

Master Nishida didn't respond, but the waiter who had been flipping the wooden sign outside the door came to the bar and pressed it somewhere. Gen Hoshino saw the glass in the cafe flash slightly.

The waiter smiled and explained: "Now only we can see the outside scene, but we can't observe anything inside from the outside."

Gen Hoshino said nothing after seeing this. He took out the black magnetic card from his pocket and unlocked the power lock on his left wrist. But as soon as he reached out to get the bracelet in the suitcase, Master Nishida reached out to stop him: " If one isn’t enough, it won’t be activated.”

Hoshino Gen hesitated, and then unlocked the superpower lock on his right wrist. The pollution in his body had just exploded in all directions a few days ago. In just a few days, he couldn't kill much at all. He was actually still a little worried. After unlocking the seal of the superpower lock, you will be affected by the aftereffects of the pollution outbreak...

But seeing that Master Nishida still didn't take back his hand in front of the bracelet, Gen Hoshino pondered for a moment, then bent down and unlocked the superpower lock on his left ankle.

At this moment, the scarlet color of Hoshino Gen's left eye instantly dispersed, and a cold aura swept through the interior of the cafe. Master Nishida remained motionless. Asara Mingka, who was on the phone, looked up in shock. As for the waiter, his face was already pale. He took two steps back and sat down on the ground.

Master Nishida retracted his arm, and Gen Hoshino spread out his hand to grab the bracelet in the suitcase. As soon as his palm came into contact with the bracelet, the bracelet seemed to come alive in an instant. The Ouroboros opened its mouth and let go of its tail. , climbed onto Gen Hoshino's wrist like a vivid little white snake, and then bit his tail again to transform into an ouroboros bracelet.

Hoshino Gen clearly noticed that his power was flowing rapidly to the bracelet on his left wrist, and the green light in the eyes on the snake's head became more and more dazzling.

Finally, at the moment when a certain critical point was reached, the bracelet on Gen Hoshino's wrist disappeared, replaced by a circle of ouroboros patterns entwined there. Compared to his wrist, it was Hoshino who had undergone a greater change. source itself.

A coat with a long hem and a dark background covered Hoshino Gen's original attire. The coat was covered with bone-white intricate patterns. In addition, Hoshino Gen looked down at his left hand. A familiar, simple sheathed long knife was being held gently by him——
