Kamiyagawa moved his eyes back from the white ghost car. It was quite hard to see a few headless ghosts fighting for the ground with their heads, so he said to them: "Stand up first and then talk."
The leader, the yellow-haired man, stood up quickly after hearing this.
The woman wearing the cap had a similar reaction, but the embarrassment on her face did not diminish after she stood up.
The balloon head was held in her arms. After three or five seconds, she reached out and lowered the brim of the peaked cap on her balloon head.
The short-haired girl's reaction was much slower. She only stood up blankly when she saw others getting up.
The remaining two men seemed not to understand what Kamiya was saying and were still kneeling on the ground. The man with the yellow hair and the woman with the peaked hat lifted them up from the ground one by one.
Kamiya has long felt that the smartest people in this headless expedition group are Huang Mao and Peaked Cap, who are no different from normal living people.
Girls with short hair are less intelligent, and their intelligence level currently seems to be comparable to that of a smarter husky.
The last two remaining strong men, without the help of other headless ghosts, would probably have about the same intelligence as the Xiqi boys if they acted alone.
The last time Kamiyagawa took the ghost car, one of the two men was pretending to be asleep, and the other was pretending to look out the window deeply without speaking.
It's okay if you don't speak, but if you speak, you will be betrayed.
"Boss, have you agreed to be our boss? Boss?" After Huang Mao helped his companion up from the ground, he turned around and continued to be courteous to Shengu.
Kamiyakawa didn't reply.
Xin said, you are so easy to talk to a boss, and you still ask me if I agree?
The woman in the peaked hat raised the brim of her hat a little, and spoke to add. When she spoke, she was not as exaggerated as the yellow-haired man, and her attitude was much more sincere:
"Little... boss. Because you destroyed the human-head balloon, I am willing to do anything for you, anything. You can definitely guess that we died tragically because of those ghosts before."
The short-haired girl next to her continued: "Zhen Wei... the same thing, do anything."
Tikka——
After the two female members of the expedition team finished speaking, Kamiyagawa heard the sound of Mary's machete blade rubbing the ground.
"Ahem...what's that?" Kamiya coughed dryly, stretched out his hand to gently hold Miss Mary's wrist, and pulled her from in front of him to behind him, "By the way, haven't you guys been peeking in the past few days? Watch what I’m doing?”
Huang Mao and his party didn't notice Mary's little move, but they seemed very embarrassed after hearing what the future boss said.
Indeed, they have been secretly observing what Kamiyagawa is doing recently.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed here as soon as the leader fell.
Kamiyagawa: "Don't be nervous, I actually don't care. I just want to confirm with you that you want me to be your boss. This is an idea you have come to realize through your observations over the past few days, right?"
"Of course, we are like a torrential river to you, big brother. It is like an endless river. It is also like the overflowing of the Shinano River, which is out of control."
The yellow-haired man heard a hint of acceptance in the future boss's words, and took the opportunity to lick a few more words.
Kamiya just smiled and shook his head, then pointed to the ghost car parked on the side: "Let me ask you, is this Mazda stuck in traffic?"
"Ah?" Huang Mao didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, but he still answered literally, "No...there will never be a traffic jam. After all, we can use it to travel freely between the two worlds."
"Then, can you drive to Tokyo to find me?"
"Yes! Of course I can. Boss, don't look at me like this. When I was still alive, my friends called me Little Takahashi Ryosuke, the Yellow Comet of Akagi!"
"Well……"
Kamitani looked up and down at the yellow-haired man again.
I have to say, your friends really give you face...
The decision to accept the headless expedition group was made quickly.
Kamiya didn't contract them into shikigami.
Currently, because there is no shikigami statue on hand, there are no conditions for the contract.
And if he had a choice, he would like to raise a mutated Inugami next.
After all, [Inugami Skull], a very powerful-looking item, has been gathering dust in the warehouse.
"Why don't I let them be my drivers first?"
Kamiyagawa's first impression of these headless ghosts was not bad.
Judging from the entry [Boss of the Headless Adventure Group], several headless ghosts took refuge in him mainly because they wanted to use him as a backer.
"It's not that Mu Qiang's psychology is incomprehensible, as long as he doesn't have any evil intentions... In other words, even for many ghost stories in the world of ghost stories, I can be considered a
. He is a well-deserved strong man, and this feels not bad. "
For this reason, Kamiyachuan felt secretly happy for a while.
After accepting these younger brothers, Kamiya learned their names and some specific information through questioning.
The driver Huang Mao is called Dashi Junma.
The woman wearing the peaked cap is called Takayama Makoto.
A short-haired girl with an IQ comparable to that of a husky is named Obara Hayami.
The remaining two muscular men are a pair of brothers, named Mikami Satoru and Mikami Hiroshi respectively.
These five people do not belong to the kind of ghost stories born in public opinion, but ghost stories turned into ghost stories after death.
In addition, Kamiya also learned that Oishi Shunma and his group usually love outdoor adventures. When they were still alive, except for Obara, who was already studying in college, the rest of them had nothing serious to do.
They belong to the idle people in society, that is, street wanderers.
However, even if they are street gangsters, their nature is surprisingly not bad.
This can be seen from the fact that they turned into dead souls after death, but still did not forget to remind the living people not to get close to the abandoned paradise of reality.
…
"Aba Aba!"
Kamiyakawa was talking to Oishi Shunma and his party in the paradise, when he suddenly heard a familiar shout.
I turned around and saw that the little old man was back.
The little old scout has been staying in Dreamland during this time, trying to collect intelligence.
However, in the early stage, the park was completely blocked by human head balloons, making it very difficult for him to conduct espionage work.
For this reason, the little old man also took advantage of his master's call on several occasions to return to the sacred coffin, with tears in his eyes, and complained loudly.
There was nothing Kamiyagawa could do about it.
I can only comfort the little old man with some empty words, such as——
"There is no need to rush the progress of collecting information. Safety comes first. It will be fine if you take your time."
"Three days, hold on for three more days, and I will knock off that big floating head."
"Ahem, what about that? Just hold on for three more days..."
"When things here are over, I will reward you severely. You can eat the small requiem candle as you please."
"..."
It was like this until a few days ago, when Dasou became completely ill and completely lost control of the park. Only then did the little old man hiding inside finally be able to show his hands and feet in Nara Dreamland.
"Abba!"
The naked little old man dragged the bird bronze medal and trotted all the way to the owner.
Then he stopped suddenly and looked at the newly joined expedition group with wary expressions.
Has the master received a new subordinate?
"Introduction, this is the little old man." When Kamiya saw his scouts returning, he stopped talking to his new brother, "Here are Toshima Oishi and Mayi Takayama... you will be your new colleagues from now on."
"Hello, senior!"
Dashi, who was the most knowledgeable, immediately bowed to the little old man.
However, because the movement was too large, the head that had just been placed on the neck fell off, and was caught by Miss Gao Shan with quick eyes and hands.
"Aba whined." The little old man nodded and relaxed his vigilance.
This senior voice made him feel very useful.
The owner said that this yellow-haired headless ghost is called Dashi...it seems to be much stronger than the old man, but even so, he still respectfully calls the old man "senior".
Very good, it seems that I have begun to gain the respect of other weird stories.
It was the first time for the frail old man to feel like he was being looked down upon by a monster who was stronger than him.
Very cool.
Sure enough, it was right to follow the master.
As long as I work hard. One day, all the weird stories in the world will look up to me!
After a moment of joy, the little old man picked up a stone from the ground and began to write on the cement road——
"Master, I found new information!"
"Strange story of a strange interview, music box, girl in the box, estimated to be close to an Inugami in terms of strength, in another world, location unknown."
Because the little old man ate several dog food requiem candles, his current mobility has improved, and his ability to collect intelligence has also increased slightly.
In addition, Kamiya had previously provided him with one-on-one guidance on text description.
In the information collected now, even the benchmarking strength corresponding to the strange talk has been adjusted.
"The strange story related to the music box, the strength of the Inugami. In other words, the initial judgment is that it is a C-level foreign visitor, and it has already passed into reality."
Kamiya straightened out the information given by the little old man.
The regional mission requirement of Dreamland is to cure more than 3 C-level monsters. After killing the boss, one-third of the mission is completed.
This music box ghost story can be the next target.
After thinking briefly for a while, Kamiyakawa knelt down and looked at the little old man: "If you are asked to come back to the present,
. Really, can you find where the weird music box is? "
"I have collected some of the evil spirit she left behind. You can try it." The little old man wrote.
"That's best." Kamiya nodded, and then spoke to a few people in the adventure group, "Dashi, Takayama, you don't need to drive to Tokyo for the time being. Take the little old man for a walk around Nara first, and cooperate with him to find a place. Where is the weird story about the music box?"
Headless Adventure Group is a foreign visit.
Their hearse is also part of the foreign visit and can travel freely between the real world and the other world.
As an extraordinary item, the little old man's spiritual object can also travel back and forth between the two worlds with the help of external forces. ωω.net
Therefore, as long as the Nagi bird copper accessories are put into the car, the little old man can hitch a ride, travel to another world, and go directly to Nara in reality.
Very convenient.
The new recruits are quite useful and can work as soon as they take up the job.
Because the hearse group had just joined Shengu, they wanted to show off their self-worth. Of course, they happily accepted the tasks assigned by their boss.
Kamiyagawa: "As I said before, you are only responsible for collecting information, and your own safety is the first priority. If you encounter danger, just run away, don't show off. In this regard, the little old man is very experienced, Dashi, you all Follow his arrangements."
"Abba..."
The little old man scratched his bald head.
I am very experienced in escaping. Master, is this a compliment to me...
However, it sounds like he can command these five new colleagues who are stronger than him during this trip to find music box monsters in reality.
So cool!
"Okay, boss! No problem, boss!" Huang Mao Dashi patted his chest.
Miss Gao Shan knelt down towards the little old man: "Please give me more advice, senior...senior."
She is not as thick-skinned as Oishi Shunma, so it feels weird to call such a young and naked girl a senior.
The clueless Miss Ohara next to her knelt down with Miss Takayama: "I haven't...please give me some advice."
"Also, I asked Mary to track your vehicle communication system. If you need anything or find anything, you can try to contact her as soon as possible. Or rush back to the shikigami in the other world paradise. Mary and Prajna are in the shikigami statue. If so, we will respond to your request.”
Kamiyagawa gave one more explanation to his younger brothers.
After that, the white seven-seat Mazda started.
The bird's bronze wife was held by Miss Gao Shan, and Dashu Junma stepped on the accelerator in the driver's seat.
The vehicle accelerated, hit a ripple in the void, and disappeared.
…
real world.
Osaka, Naniwa District.
A small independent-style villa with "Itakura" written on the sign at the door.
afternoon.
A courier truck drove to the door of the Itakura family villa, and the courier took a large package from the car.
After ringing the doorbell, someone soon opened the door of Itakura's house.
"Please sign here, Mr. Itakura."
After the courier handed over the package, he drove away and delivered the next express delivery.
The Itakura family received the express delivery from a young man in his 20s.
His name is Itakura Masanobu.
He is the eldest grandson of Itakura Ryozo, the great industrialist who single-handedly created Dreamland.
"It's strange, I haven't bought anything recently. Who sent it to me?"
Itakura Masanobu was confused as he held the heavy bag, but looking at the information above, the name in the recipient column was indeed his.
Looking at the sender again, his name is Iijima Rin.
A completely unfamiliar name.
Itakura dragged the package into his home, found a pair of scissors at the entrance, and opened the thick cardboard packaging outside.
Inside the package is a large box.
It appears to be made of brass, with exquisite patterns engraved around the box.
And on the right side of the brass box, there is a wooden hinge handle.
"This is?"
Itakura stared at the big brass box for a long time, feeling that this thing looked a bit like an extra-large music box.
"Why would someone give me something like this?" He became even more confused.
Out of curiosity, Itakura tried to open the large music box.
However, the box is extremely tightly sealed, and it feels impossible to pry it open with external force alone.
So, he could only try to reach out and turn the handle on the side.
Ding bell——ding bell——
As soon as the handle was turned, a crisp metal clang sounded from the brass box.
The more you turn it, the clearer and smoother the sound becomes, connecting it into a joyful musical spectrum.
This thing is indeed a music box.
Itakura Masanobu had such good musical knowledge that after playing the music for a while, he could identify the music.
It is a piece of music that is rarely used in music boxes——
"Puppy Waltz"
.
