The years when I was the pillar of the Ghost Killing Squad

Ukiyo-e Town, Tokyo.

In Ukiyo-e Town, there is a long-established dumpling store called "Fukiharu". This store is said to have existed since the Edo period, and it has a history of nearly 200 years.This dango shop is quite popular among young women, and you can often see many girls wearing the popular small furisode kimono coming together.

In a remote corner of the store, sat a black-haired young man wearing a strange black uniform with a pure white haori on the outside. He didn't look very old, only about eighteen At the age of nine, there is still a little childishness in his eyes.

The young man's complexion was extremely fair, which stood out even more against the backdrop of a black uniform. He was very good-looking, and his handsome appearance attracted the frequent glances of many young women in the store.

But compared to the young man's appearance, what is more eye-catching is the empty plates that are piled up on the table in front of him to form a hill, and the height of this hill is still rising.

"Hi, I've worked here for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such an edible guest."

The friendly-looking owner of the dumpling shop brought a few plates of exquisite snacks with a smile, and took away the empty plates on the table by the way.

Shi Yu stuffed a bunch of glutinous rice dumplings into his mouth, and casually talked to the owner of the dumpling shop while chewing, "By the way, boss, has anything strange happened in this area recently?"

"weird things?"

The boss looked back at him suspiciously.

"For example, someone disappeared or died inexplicably."

Shi Yu held a bamboo stick in his mouth and spoke inarticulately.

The owner of the dumpling shop was stunned for a moment, then smiled and waved his hands, "No, brother, are you from out of town? You don't know, Ukiyo-echo is the safest area in Tokyo, let alone disappearances and deaths , I don’t even see a few people fighting and making trouble here.”

When the owner of the dumpling shop said this, his face was full of smiles, as if he was proud of being a resident of this town. After saying this, he left with an empty plate up.

With a bamboo stick in his mouth, Shi Yu leaned back lazily, emptying his mind.

This is already the fourth one. He visited a barbecue restaurant, a ramen restaurant and a sushi restaurant in a row, and finally came to this dumpling restaurant, but he still found nothing. No matter where he came from, he couldn't get any news about ghosts.

Just like what the dumpling shop owner said just now, this ukiyo-e town is much more peaceful than he imagined, not to mention ghosts, there is not even a hooligan on the whole street, living with Xuan Mi The town of Itabashi is in stark contrast.

Shi Yu spat out a bamboo stick and stuffed a bunch of dumplings into his mouth. He was thinking about why the young leader of the Ghost Slayer Squad sent him to such a peaceful place. He didn't really just want him to stay there. Do nothing here.

That would be too boring, there are no nasty ghosts to kill, and no cute younger brother to rua, the life of a rabbit is hard, huh...

Shiyu lay down on the table a little discouraged, he was still chewing on the glutinous rice dumpling just now, his puffy cheeks moved like some kind of cute petite rodent when eating, In an instant, the girls' hearts of many young women were sprouted.

Shi Yu inexplicably felt a chill down his back.

At this time, the two middle-aged people at the next table suddenly talked about the topic Shi Yu mentioned just now.

"Speaking of strange things, I heard from Liulang near my house that he drank too much wine one night and accidentally fell into the river from the bridge when he returned home. Fished out of the river."

Another middle-aged man sitting across from him looked at him puzzled, "Didn't you just fall into the water and be rescued? What kind of strange thing is that?"

"Regarding this matter......"

Speaking of this, the man suddenly lowered his voice with a mysterious expression, "I heard from Liu Lang that the man who rescued him from the river seemed to have no neck..."

"Eh?!"

The man sitting opposite him looked shocked, "No way?! Don't be wrong because Liu Lang drank too much wine!"

"No, no, no, Liu Lang said that when he was rescued by that man, he accidentally reached out and tore off the man's scarf, and then he found that the man's neck was empty, and only his head was floating in the air."

"Really?! Then what happened later?"

"Later, Liu Lang said that he passed out, and when he woke up the next day, he was lying on that bridge."

"In my opinion, it was purely because Liu Lang drank too much that night and had hallucinations. How could there be a man without a neck..."

......

After talking about it, the two agreed that Liu Lang had drunk too much that night and had hallucinations, so they stopped talking and quickly changed to a new topic.

Shi Yu pricked up his ears and listened to the whole process, he put one hand on the table, thoughtful.

A man without a neck...

Leaving aside whether the drunk man named Liu Lang was hallucinating after drinking too much, even if the neckless man really existed, he probably wasn't the ghost he was looking for.

For the flesh-eating ghosts, human beings are their food, and it would be nice if the ghosts didn't eat people directly when they saw people, how could they be so kind as to fish people out of the river.

But if that neckless man was really a ghost, how would he kill him?If you want to kill ghosts, you can only chop off their heads with a sun wheel knife, but how can you kill ghosts with no necks and their heads separated from their bodies?

Shigure is confused.

Just as Shi Yu fell into deep thought, a somewhat rambling voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Are you interested in this kind of weird talk?"

Shi Yu froze for a moment, he raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, the man sitting obliquely in front of him was looking back at him.

It was a very handsome man, he looked very young, about 23 or [-] years old, he was wearing a black-sleeved kimono with green background and black stripes, but the neckline was opened casually, giving people a bohemian and immediate look sense of sight.

But Shi Yu is more concerned about this man's hairstyle, the man's hair is black like his, but the messy black hair is not directly draped over the shoulders, but rather defies gravity like a mop Extending behind the head, it forms a rather delicate balance with the ground.

Shi Yu wanted to say that Newton's coffin would soon be overwhelmed, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have the right to complain about others...

The man got up and left from his seat, came to sit down opposite Shi Yu, "I heard you were asking the owner of this store just now if any strange things happened in the area recently."

It was obviously the first time the two met, but the tone of the man's speech was as natural as if he and Shi Yu were good friends who had known each other for many years.

"Yes."

Although he didn't know what the man's purpose was, Shigure still nodded and admitted.

"Why are you asking about this?"

"Well, you can take that as a personal interest of mine."

Shi Yu was not honest enough to tell a stranger everything, and Yetu's intuition told him that the man opposite was definitely not simple.

"Interesting..."

The man smiled, adding a touch of coquettishness to his handsome face.

Two good-looking men sat facing each other, and the women in the store focused almost all their attention on them.

Shi Yu smelled a faint smell of alcohol from the man, and Shi Yu looked towards where the man was originally sitting, and saw a pile of empty wine bottles.

Drinking at the dumpling shop...what does this guy think?

Shi Yu silently labeled this inexplicable man as an alcoholic in his heart. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that this man was unreliable, and he also noticed that when this man was talking, his right eye was always closed. Yu looked a little uncomfortable, so he pointed to his right eye and asked, "Is your eye injured?"

The man smiled and shook his head, "No, it's just my habit."

"Isn't it uncomfortable to turn a blind eye?"

Shi Yu imitated the man and closed one eye, but before holding on for half a minute, that eye almost cramped.

"Used to it."

The man smiled, and there was a slack look in the corners of his eyes, "Since one eye is already used to feel the light, the other one is used to feel the darkness and use it in a balanced way, isn't it good?"

Hearing these words, Shi Yu looked at the man with eyes that suddenly became a little speechless, "You obviously look old and big, but you don't even blush when you say such words."

Shi Yu added a label of "secondary illness" to the man in his heart.

The man was stunned for a moment, he didn't seem to expect that he would be ridiculed by the black-haired young man opposite, but he didn't look angry, he just glanced at Shi Yu inadvertently, leaving a smile with some unknown meaning, Then he stood up and left.

Shi Yu looked at the back of this person leaving, and suddenly felt a little inexplicable.

Why did this man come to talk to him?

After Shi Yu stuffed the rest of the snacks into his stomach, seeing that he couldn't get any useful information from this dumpling shop, Shi Yu also got up and prepared to leave, but he found some problems when he checked out with the boss , The price quoted by the boss to him obviously does not match the price he spent in this store.

He is different from the guy in Shenwei who only knows how to eat with his arms open. He is very sensitive to money. He knows exactly how much he eats and how much he has to pay. The owner of this store obviously overcharged him. money, and charged more than a little more, I didn't expect that the boss with thick eyebrows and big eyes would not be soft at all when he stole the money.

Of course, Shi Yu would not allow the boss to steal money, he immediately reported to the boss the same quantity and quantity of the food he ate just now, and carefully checked the price of each item with him.

Facing Shi Yu's doubts, the big-eyed owner of the dumpling shop rubbed the back of his head in a daze, "But besides these dumpling snacks, there is also money for drinks."

Shi Yu frowned, "Drink money? What drink money?"

He is not yet an adult, where did he get the wine?

"But the man sitting across from you just now said that all his wine money was charged to your account. Aren't you two friends?"

"What?!"

After hearing his words, Shi Yu was stunned on the spot.
