I accidentally died yesterday [comprehensive]

After Kurokawa and Kiemon returned to the guest room, they sat on the ground and slowly told what happened just now.

"It's really a ghost."

Kiemon stroked his beard with a look of wonder.

It seems that it was because she didn't leave the house during the earthquake and was trapped to death in it. The little girl was entangled with this hot spring, creating a strange "existence" state.

"Is it an evil spirit?"

Kiemon asked again.

"It's not easy to judge."

"It didn't hurt me after all."

Kurokawa replied.

One person and one cat fell asleep.

The next morning "Tuk Tuk" knocked on the door.

Heichuan got up from the bed, pushed open the door tiredly, and saw that it was still the skinny little girl.

She raised her head and smiled at Heichuan as if ignorant, "Does the guest need anything?"

Kurokawa looked around at the aisle, and it was quiet, only the little girl stood in front of him.

"Did you come here so early? Have you dealt with other things?"

"Huh? Anything else?"

The little girl was stunned for a moment, "But you are the only guest here...I can't find anything else."

Kiemon, who was furry in his sleep, got out of the bed and walked over with cat steps.

"Oh, sir, am I here?"

"How can you say you can't see me?"

Heichuan looked at the little girl, her black eyes were dark and without light.

Judging from the direction of gaze, Kiemon was definitely not noticed.

It was...

Can only see him?

"It's fine for now."

"You go about your own business."

Kurokawa thought for a while and said, "Didn't you read a book last night? If you have time now, it's good to review more."

The little girl turned her head to the side: "Last night..."

There was confusion in her eyes.

"Guest, what are you talking about... Isn't today over?"

It turns out that there is no concept of time.

"But you are right, if you have time, you should study more... Maybe you will be admitted to a good school for the entrance examination of junior high school."

Hearing what the little girl said, Kurokawa said, "Come and ask me if you have any questions."

"Before I leave the spa."

"Really!"

The little girl was very pleasantly surprised. She thanked her repeatedly and left quickly, her white sleeves flicking like dusty moth wings.

Kiemon came over.

"Don't you need to transform?"

"In this state... I mean, it's kind of pathetic."

Kurokawa yawned lazily, "I'm not a cat, so I can't understand Uncle Kiemon's kind of happiness that belongs only to cats."

"I'm not a ghost, so naturally I can't understand how ghosts survive."

"If the other party doesn't show a look of asking for help, go forward and tell the other party - you are dead."

"It should be hated."

Kiemon rubbed his face, "Is that really the case... Or is it just an excuse you made for yourself because you don't know how to cross over."

Is this... also makes sense.

He can only eat ghosts as a means.

At this time, the door of the bedroom next door was opened, and the classmate who was sleeping next door came out rubbing his eyes, and looked at Heichuan suspiciously: "You woke up really early...By the way, who were you talking to just now?"

"It's the wake-up call for breakfast at the hot spring."

"Wow——" the classmate was very surprised when he heard this: "So there is such a service—wait, why is it only yours?"

Heichuan spread his hands, expressing innocently that he didn't know either.

I stayed comfortably in the hot spring all day yesterday, and the melancholy accumulated in my three years of high school life has dissipated a lot.

Several students put on light clothes and decided to go out to explore. Because it is the graduation season in April, many high schools held graduation trips. When Kurokawa walked through the streets, he saw several students wearing other school uniforms. The girls in short skirts were chatting in front of the shop.

The signboards on both sides of the road are very traditional black characters on a white background, and there are some paper lanterns hanging on both sides. When you walk to the intersection, a large signboard has a poster of a drama performance on it, which is an adaptation of "The Dancing Girl of Izu".

Arriving at the end of the town, the sacrifice to the god of avoiding fire that was still held here yesterday has ended, leaving only the streets full of pedestrians, and walking forward is a large field. Kurokawa remembered that there was a sacrifice at the end to comfort the dead.

And that moth.

He and Kiemon came to the edge of the field familiarly.

The sacrifice to purify the dead continues.

The human face moth on the face of the priest is still vivid.

There were many people standing on this road, but there was very little noise. Many people closed their eyes and prayed silently.

After all, it is the volcanic and seismic belt around the Pacific Ocean, and disasters of all sizes occur every year due to various geological reasons.

There was a gentlemanly man with glasses who was talking to his companion, although the voice was very quiet, but he could still hear clearly: "The moth represents death, and it is said that every living person who sees the moth Will die soon."

The companion is also very bookish: "These are all rumors, there is no truth."

The man with glasses replied, "Of course I'm not referring to the horror stories that circulate in the city."

"The real human-faced moth originated in the southern Pacific Islands...whether it is Malaysia or Thailand, I really can't remember. This moth with a face has a special meaning of death in the local culture."

"Death or rebirth...is this one?"

The companion scoffed at this.

Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that a middle school teacher near Shizuoka Prefecture came to the Izu Peninsula with the students because of a graduation trip.

There is also a teacher in Shirorin High School who accompanied the trip like this, and a Chinese teacher came with their class.

Kurokawa stood there for a while without feeling the power of the legendary ghosts and gods, so he turned around and went back to the hot spring with Kiemon.

On the way, Kiemon asked, "Kurokawa."

"You said you saw a man-faced moth."

"On the glass in the pantry."

Those dense moths hit the glass, and the gray-yellow phosphor powder was smeared layer by layer like a sand painting.

Back in front of the hot spring, I didn't expect that the empty space was full of people, who seemed to come from nearby to watch the excitement.

"what happened?"

Someone replied: "It seems to be haunted nearby."

It turned out that a customer entered the last storage room by mistake this morning and disappeared for an hour before coming out, slurring his speech as if he had been frightened by something.

Ask what happened.

The customer gestured and said, "...everything is gone, everything is rotting, moths, moths."

"I went to Doomsday."

His dilated pupils were full of fear.

After receiving this situation, the priests of the nearby shrine rushed over immediately, accompanied by a priestess, who seemed to be preparing for a huge purification activity, so many people gathered to watch the excitement.

The priest stood solemnly in front of the gate, and the proprietress stood beside her: "When we took over, the place had just experienced an earthquake, and there was nothing but ruins. All the buildings in front of us were rebuilt."

The priest closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and soon directed the staff to start building the platform. The platform was a small, boxy platform made of wood. Maidens in white and red hakama walked up from both sides, holding bells and fans in their hands.

They began to dance, praying for the gods to come.

Standing at the outermost edge of the crowd, Hei Chuan saw some kind of clean energy coming out of nowhere and slowly filling the air.

The surrounding humans were still looking at the table on tiptoe, not aware of these abnormalities at all. At that time, Kiemon shrank his neck, "There is something... so strange, is it a god?"

Is it God?

The priest looked surprised.

Looking at the sky excitedly.

But soon, a priestess on the stage seemed to be exhausted—in fact, she couldn't accept the clean air, spit out a mouthful of blood, and fell pale on the stage. The god's descent ceremony was interrupted. The inexplicable power quickly dissipated.

"Can I try?"

A girl in uniform was jumping around in the crowd with her hands raised high. Standing next to her were two middle-aged men who were talking about the man-face moth. If you are still young, you should leave these matters to the adults."

It seems that the witch vomited blood and frightened him.

"it does not matter."

Kagome shook her head, "I also often participate in these ceremonies at home."

"but……"

Kagome Higurashi looked at the hot spring.

"The breath inside is really unknown..."
