Tokyo Ghost Diary

Hoshino Gen didn't wait long before a fierce ripple appeared on the sparkling water under the moonlight.

The fishy stench permeated the air.

The fishing rod in Hoshino Gen's hand sank, and he felt a strong force coming from the water.

Without any hesitation, Hoshino Gen put his left hand on his waist, and instantly pulled out a talisman and stuck it on the fishing rod held in his right hand. The talisman turned into a wisp of electricity, wrapped around the fishing rod like a snake and plunged into the water.

The light emitted by the electric current illuminated the surrounding water clearly. In the blue-tinged water, a black shadow wrapped in the electric current was struggling violently, trying to break free.

On the sea, the water was surging. Hoshino Gen held the fishing rod with flashing arcs in his hands, turned his back, and swung the fishing rod forward fiercely like a long stick.

boom!

A black shadow was pulled out of the water, and then was violently thrown to the ground, raising a large amount of sand and dust.

"Ugh——!"

The black shadow let out a low hiss, and its whole body was filled with smelly blue smoke from the electric shock just now. But even so, when it got up from the ground, it immediately grabbed the fish on the fishing line that had already been With his charred palms, he started to chew on it.

Hoshino Gen did not rush to take action, but watched with a smile on his face as the gray-faced and foul-smelling water ghost ate its father's palm.

The joints made a crunching sound as the ghost chewed it, and in just a moment, an entire palm was devoured.

The water ghost stretched out its long green tongue and licked its black lips before it was finished. It looked at Yuan Hoshino, and the color of greed was evident in its rotten eyeballs. "... So... hungry!!" It whispered to Yuan Hoshino. Roar, get down on all fours, and pounce like a cheetah.

Hoshino Gen threw away the fishing rod in his hand, and black light surged from his right arm. The moment the water ghost rushed towards him, the demon sword flashed past.

The water ghost, who was so aggressive just a second ago, fell to the ground like a tattered sack in an instant. The fallen ugly head rolled over twice on the sand. The face full of sticky liquid was stained with large amounts of sand, and the neck and head were covered with dirt. A fishy green liquid also overflowed from the fracture, which was disgusting and disgusting.

The water ghost's body twisted and groped on the ground. He found his head with both hands and put it back on his neck. The fracture was filled with black energy, making it impossible to heal.

"Good-it hurts!!"

The water ghost's face was full of twisted hatred. He covered his neck with one hand and grabbed Hoshino Gen with the other hand.

Hoshino Gen curled his lips in disgust, waved the demon sword lightly in his hand, and the outstretched arm also flew out.

But the water ghost waved his arm dully as if he hadn't realized what happened.

As if he was bored to the core, Gen Hoshino kicked the water ghost to the ground. He took out the talisman with his left hand and touched the demon sword. A dazzling thunder light bloomed, and Gen Hoshino stabbed the water ghost under his feet in the middle of the forehead.

The electric current quickly penetrated the water ghost's body. It convulsed all over and let out a terrifying and shrill scream. The smelly black mist spread in all directions. Hoshino Yuan put another thunder talisman on the sword with an expressionless face.

The surrounding air smelled of burning, and the blazing white light made a violent "sizzling" sound.

Suddenly, there was a roar, and the water ghost was blown into a pile of torn apart coke.

Gen Hoshino used the tip of the sword to dig through the charcoal under his feet, then raised the tip of the sword, and a silver-gray ring flew up and fell into his palm.

He played with the ring twice in his hand, raised it, and looked through the hole in the ring at the bright white moon in the night.

As if satisfied with tonight's harvest, he raised the corner of his mouth, took back the ring, and prepared to turn around and leave.

However, at this moment, his heart suddenly beat twice violently, and the surrounding environment quickly turned into a white void. The bay, the sand, the sky, the bright moon... all disappeared.

Only an extremely familiar voice sounded behind him: "It's painful to endure, isn't it?"

"!!" Hoshino Yuan's whole body tensed up, and he turned around and slashed away with his sword. However, the dark sword light easily penetrated the figure, but the figure remained unscathed.

But at the same time, Hoshino Gen also saw the appearance of this figure clearly.

Hoshino Gen opened his eyes in shock, because the person who appeared in front of him at this moment was...himself.

A self with its right eye closed and its left eye burning with scarlet blood.

Hoshino Gen's expression dropped slightly, he pulled out the talisman and shot it towards the person in front of him. However, the talisman also penetrated his body and landed not far away, turning into scattered flames.

"Don't waste your efforts, you are me, I am you, I can appear in front of you just because that ring gives you a chance to face your heart - you should know this yourself! "The other Yuan Hoshino said with a coquettish smile.

Hoshino Gen stood there, silently looking at himself in front of him.

"Look! You're still patient!" Hoshino Gen, with blood-red eyes, smiled crazily. He pointed at himself and bent over with laughter: "What you should do now is not to endure your impatience and listen to what I say. You know this very well, so you should crush the ring in your hand and go out and vent your anger!"

Hoshino Gen looked at him coldly.

The red-eyed Hoshino Genbu smiled and his voice stopped abruptly. He turned a nervous and cold face and said lightly: "Let me guess why you don't do this...because...you are expecting what I will do next." That's what you said, right? Are you looking forward to some opportunity that will allow you to completely liberate yourself without any burden!"

He suddenly took a step forward, grabbed Hoshino Gen's collar, and said with a ferocious smile: "You have been doing this for a long time, ever since the girl named Shimizu Yu quietly followed you, did you really not notice her at that time? ?”

"No, you know, you even let her discover your specialness naturally! You are looking forward to her revealing your specialness to the world. You are eager, eager for the things in your previous life to happen again. You You are expecting the world to declare war on you! You are eager to make this world a mess! You have long discovered the way to deal with thermal weapons, the thing hidden in your left eye, and you can't wait to verify it! But you dare not , you are suppressing your heart!"

"With your ability, you don't need to follow the rules of this world at all, but you huddle in this corner and put layer upon layer of shackles on yourself!"

"Go to school, go home, and live like an ordinary person. You know clearly that these are of no use to you, but you are still doing it. You are putting chains on your heart!"

The red-eyed Hoshino Gen became hysterical. He beat his chest desperately and said angrily: "You don't even understand why you did this!"

"Chasing supernatural beings? Searching for treasures? Is that really what you want? Your pitiful look of being so lacking in love that you need to fill your heart with ghost relics really makes me sick -"

"You can obviously release yourself to your heart's content, and you can obviously graffiti in this world according to your own desires! Why don't you do that! You are obviously looking forward to such a future, aren't you?!"

Hoshino Gen, whose eyes were blood red, finished his roar and his expression calmed down again, as if he had vented all his anger in the roar just now.

He took a long breath and said softly: "Anyway, there is nothing you value in this world, right?"

He reached out to himself, whose expression had become shaken and confused at some point, and said gently: "Accept me and look directly into your heart."
