Behind the shrine, there is a deserted road.
A section of road where a large number of abandoned white cars are piled up.
After Kamiyakawa completed the task at the candle-making monk, he came here to check the situation.
After arriving, I discovered that there were about thirty or forty black burn ghosts with obvious burn marks on their bodies, wandering aimlessly near the white car area.
Kamiyagawa: "As expected, everyone has returned to this world."
The Burning Demons here are all vassals of the former Earthbound Spirit, Furuta Yuji.
After Ikuji's Ikuji was expelled, the remaining burn ghosts that had not been harvested by Kamiyagawa and the Rift Girl were no longer able to stay in reality, and they were all forced to return to the other world.
"pain……"
"It hurts...will it hurt like us?"
There were two burning ghosts on the periphery who noticed the approach of Kamiya River. They screamed in pain and twisted their bodies to come over.
Kamiya calmly took out his hatchet, chopped and pared the two monsters who dared to take the initiative to pick trouble with him, chopped them into soul crystals and put them in his account.
A burning ghost is worth 4 soul crystals.
A little worse than the villagers of Inuning Village.
With Kamiyagawa's current level, it was very easy to deal with two of them, and he didn't even need to call Hannya.
Inside the forest road, the wind was blowing.
White newspapers were flying everywhere.
Kamiyakawa picked up a copy.
The content in the newspaper was no different from what I had seen before. It is still telling the story of Ikuji Furuta, the photos above are jumping and changing, and the characters are twisting.
Regarding the matter of the Earthbound Spirit Furuta Ikuji, when I left the Inunaki area in reality last night, my fellow traveler Yuki Makenyu mentioned it.
It also happened to solve one of Kamiyakawa's previous doubts.
Previously, Kamiya had found some fragments related to the Furuta Ikuji incident.
Some people say that after Gutian's resentful spirit burned and killed the five juvenile delinquents, he continued to go on a rampage in the Jiuquanming area and began to burn passing white cars in anger.
The malignant impact of this large-scale paranormal accident is very great.
Fukuoka Miyaka City had to block the entire Inuming area.
Some people also say that Miyaruoichi hired a powerful mage and finally got rid of Gutian's resentful spirit.
Regarding these two rumors, official Yuuki Makensuke said that they are both true.
"But, if Furuta Ikuji's resentful spirit was exterminated 30 years ago, what about the Furuta who appears at the entrance of the old tunnel now? Or, 30 years ago, Furuta's resentful spirit Was it just sealed, not completely eliminated?"
This is what Kamiyagawa asked last night.
"Boy, I think you don't understand at all." Uncle Yuki was relatively calm at that time and said seriously, "Didn't your master tell you? Ghost stories will never really die out, never."
…
The so-called ghost stories are born in various ways.
The most common and widespread form is born from the public opinion of human society.
Miss Mary and Hanako are typical examples of strange public opinion stories.
People continue to spread their stories.
People fear them and create them at the same time.
When the discussion about them reaches a certain threshold, either Mary or Hanako will be refreshed from the other world.
Moreover, the more scared people are when spreading ghost stories, the stronger the ghost stories will be in the world.
The current mainstream view in the spirit removal industry is——
No matter what kind of ghost story it is, as long as enough people spread it, the corresponding ghost story in the story may be born from the other world.
And strictly speaking, public opinion can create any weird rumors.
It’s no problem to print one now.
As for what Uncle Yuuki said, ghost stories will never truly die, not ever.
It means that even if a certain ghost story is dismissed. But as long as people continue to talk about him, sooner or later, this strange story will reappear in the other world.
Take Hanako, who was dismissed by Mary as an example.
Although Hanako of Suzuran High School is indeed very cold, as long as there are still people in the world telling the story of the ghost doll in the toilet, sooner or later Hanako of Suzuran High School and Hanako of Shohoku High School will be born.
These "new Hanako" and the Hanako from Karin High School are essentially two independent individuals.
They are just the same kind of spirit born from the same kind of story.
The "new flowers" will not know Kamiya River, and they will not hate Kamiya River like their predecessor.
It is entirely possible to develop a new story with Kamiya.
This time, Furuta Ikuji also falls into this situation.
The white car ghost that turned Inunaki Pass into a place of silence 30 years ago has indeed been exterminated.
The one who came here for a foreign visit this time was a second generation.
The new Furuta Ikuji was born from people's discussion about Inunaki for more than 30 years.
It has the same story as the old version, but it is not the same one. There is even a big gap in strength with the old version of Furuta.
Not as strong as the previous one.
Of course, Uncle Yuki also added something.
Generating public opinion is the main way in which ghost stories are born, but it is not the only way.
For example, human beings' negative emotions may also give rise to strange stories.
Many Wandering Souls Cannian and Kamiyagawa's old friends Xiqi Doji all came from this way.
In addition, there are some evil rituals that can accelerate the birth of ghost stories, or directly artificially create ghost stories.
There are also special weird tales like the Medicine Seller and Suzuhiko Hime that are difficult to define and only one exists in the world and cannot be copied.
There are so many twists and turns here, if I had to explain it clearly, Mr. Yuuki would probably write a book directly for Kamiyagawa.
Anyway, at the end of the topic, Yuuki Makensuke summed it up like this:
"Boy, do you feel despair? As for the fact that the ghost stories will never really die out? But if you ask me, there is no need to be too pessimistic about this, because in contrast, the spiritual masters have never died out."
"From the Yin Yang Lao more than a thousand years ago to the present Spiritual Exterminator Organization. Generation after generation, the endless fight against ghost stories is the meaning of the existence of us Spiritual Exterminators."
“One after another, the legacy is passed down from generation to generation.”
…
A deserted road.
An area filled with white cars.
"Ghost stories will never truly die." Kamiyagawa muttered.
Will he feel passive and hopeless about it?
It doesn't seem like it will.
"In comparison, I don't seem to have the same sense of salvation as Uncle Yuki as a spiritual exterminator."
Kamiyagawa let go of the newspaper he was holding and watched it being blown higher and higher by the wind.
For him.
Even if the ghost stories will always be like a nightmare, they will continue to develop endlessly with the descendants of all mankind.
So what can I do?
Does it affect the world's orbit around the sun?
Will it affect my three meals a day, eating, drinking, diarrhea and sleeping?
Will it influence me to become the supreme co-lord of ghosts and gods, unifying eight million gods... Hiss - wait, this seems hard to say.
Maybe it will have an impact.
"But it's useless to think about this now. It's better to get more soul crystals."
Kamiyakawa turned over the bloody hatchet in his hand.
By the way, the wounds left on Prajna by the Burning Ghosts in yesterday's battle were not too serious.
But idleness is idleness anyway.
Let’s clean up all the Burning Ghosts who have returned from reality.
