After Gao Tianyuan bid farewell to the medicine seller, the paper scapegoat, whose vitality was emptied out by the mask of jealousy, finally couldn't hold on anymore and Anping threw himself on the street.
Kamiyagawa's consciousness returned to reality.
The place where he is now is the "Via Hotel" in Osaka, a fast hotel with a good environment.
It's right near the station, the inside and outside of the house are well ventilated, and there's a sense of openness. Kamiya's room is on a high floor and has a good view. When I was taking a shower, I could see the night view of Osaka through the window.
The charge here is 6944 yen per night.
With the money earned from the official exorcist organization and the last time he exorcised the evil doll spirit "Xiaoyu", Kamiya no longer has to live a tight life.
The level of out-of-home consumption has slightly improved.
Compared with before, I can live a much more comfortable life when I go out.
"After dealing with Itakura Ryozo, I feel that there is still a lot that needs to be done."
Kamitani woke up from the big bed room in the hotel, sat on the edge of the bed, mentally reviewed what happened in the game just now, and planned what to do next.
"First of all, the main plot of quelling the monsters in Dreamland has been completed. Next, we can increase the exploration progress and open the next map."
The map of Dreamland is very large.
Moreover, there are many large facilities where Kamiya has not fully explored the situation before.
The current exploration progress is around 70%.
Now Kamiya has become the owner of the paradise, although he can sense the situation of the entire paradise. However, "Kaitan Monogatari"'s requirement for "exploration progress" seems to have to be explored personally before it counts.
So the progress has not changed.
It doesn't hurt, though.
It is not difficult to spend some time later, take the little old man and Zashiki boy with you, and touch all the corners and corners that have not been explored yet.
It’s only a matter of time before a new map opens.
"Secondly, the half piece of Dream Agarwood I bought from the medicine seller has not been used yet. After finishing Itakura Ryozo, I just got a new shikigami tin statue. You can consider whether the third shikigami should capture the dream tapir. "
Because Kamiyagawa often hangs up in Takamagahara, his [Spirit Control Technique] has been upgraded to [Mastery Level].
The [Proficient Level] [Spirit Taming Technique] can support two shikigami in a contract, while the [Proficient Level] one can support four shikigami in parallel.
The medicine seller said that the Dream-Eating Tapir has specialized dream abilities, and it has a special attack on ordinary dream ghosts.
It shouldn't be a loss to raise such a rare shikigami.
"Third, I have newly acquired a piece of material for the foundation of a happy society. However, I still don't know where to find the craftsmen who can help me build the society."
"Fourth...that's it."
While Kamiyakawa was thinking, he took out a small ornament from the [Mirage Cloth Bag].
【Lucky Cat Ornaments】
This Lucky Cat is about 30 centimeters in size, chubby, smiling, and quite festive in appearance.
The specific function, Kamiya had carefully read it after visiting Tuwan and before going to Gao Tianyuan to find the medicine seller——
[Item name: Lucky Cat Ornament]
[Quality: Epic]
[Effect: After the ornament absorbs the cat spirit, the cat spirit house can be restarted. ]
[Explanation: The core of Lingmao Wanshiwu House was left by the last cat shopkeeper of Wanshiwu House. After the Lucky Cat Ornament absorbs a suitable cat spirit, it will be given the blessing of the power of the All-In-One Cat Spirit, making it the next cat shopkeeper. ]
[The Cat Shopkeeper is good at collecting all the ownerless treasures in the entire world of ghost stories. And when you give a commission to the Wanshiwuwu, you can ask the Cat Shopkeeper to explore and collect specific materials. ]
"The Meow House of Everything allows you to collect unowned treasures and explore to obtain specific materials. It sounds like a very useful store, plus a market for trading materials. However, to open this store, I have to find a cat spirit myself. Is it okay to be a shopkeeper?"
"Does being the co-master of ghosts and gods require you to do everything yourself to this extent? You won't really let me use the toilet in the future, right?"
Kamiyagawa took the Lucky Cat ornament in his hand and played with it.
When it comes to exploring and collecting treasures, his Fu Bao also has this ability.
However, Zashiki mainly follows Kamiyagawa and collects obtainable props and materials on the map in the process of pushing the map.
The yet-to-be-opened Spirit Meow House of Everything, according to the description, is more like a traveling frog that can go to other unknown locations in the Kaitan world to collect props.
One side is active, the other side is idle.
Their respective abilities do not conflict, and complementing each other can greatly improve the efficiency of obtaining useful props and materials.
Kamiya still hopes to open this civet house.
"So, fourth, find a cat spirit and open the cat spirit house. There are really a lot of things to do..." Kamiyakawa thought this way.
…
After returning to reality.
Kamitani stayed in the hotel for a while and didn't go anywhere.
To be more precise, I dare not go anywhere.
He has now entered the influence time of [Misfortune and misfortune], and he will have bad luck for an hour.
How should I put it, although I am having bad luck, but... I have good luck?
During this hour, nothing unexpected happened.
I don’t know if it’s because Fu Bao has become stronger after eating so many candles, but I feel like when I’m having bad luck recently, the probability of bad things happening seems to be lower than before.
After surviving the duration of [Misfortune and Misfortune], Kamiyagawa left the hotel, went downstairs to find a random ramen shop, and ordered tonkotsu ramen for dinner.
Halfway through his meal, he received a phone call.
It was Yuki Masakisuke calling.
"Boy, what are you doing?"
"have dinner."
"At this point?"
"This is what young people do when they live alone."
Uncle Yuki on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then spoke after a while: "By the way, I'm calling you because I have something serious to inform you about. As for your reaction, the Itakura family members encountered powerful monsters. "
Kamiyagawa was riding in the hearse of the Hearse Regiment. When he arrived in Osaka, he rescued a young man named Itakura Ayumi from the Itakura family.
Later, he deduced that the girl in the box had massacred other Itakura family descendants in reality.
So he informed this information to Yuuki Makensuke.
I plan to leave this troublesome matter to the official exorcism organization.
Now that Uncle Yuki has called, things should have been sorted out.
Yuki Makensuke: "Boy, stay away from the Itakura family. According to our investigation, there is something wrong with this family."
Kamiyakawa took a mouthful of noodles, then picked up a thick, oily piece of barbecued pork and swallowed it.
Then he asked knowingly: "Is something wrong?"
"Well, the Itakura Ayumi you saved has been found out about the murder of his fiancée Mizutani Mayumi. In addition, the other two victims killed by the Music Box Monster, Itakura Masanobu and Itakura Yoshizo, have been confirmed to have had Acts of molesting young children.”
"So, all the Itakura family members who were killed by the Music Box Kaidan deserved it?" Kamiya, who already knew the inside story, showed a certain amount of surprise.
"So far it looks like this." Yuuki said, "Also, you said that the music box monster you encountered before escaped, right?"
"Well, she has a D level, maybe even a C level. I haven't beaten her." Kamiyagawa replied deliberately.
His current persona in the official ghost-killing organization is that of an unknown but extremely enthusiastic young ghost-killing genius.
At a young age, he can independently handle D-level strange stories.
For him, level C is a bit too high.
This persona still has to stand.
"Are you still in Osaka now?" Uncle Yuki suddenly asked another question.
"Um."
"Don't get involved in things over there. People from the Metropolitan Police found out that the cause of the music box ghost story is far more complicated than imagined."
"How to say?"
"Our people followed the clues and investigated the old house of the Itakura family. That house was built by Itakura Ryozo, a well-known philanthropic entrepreneur in the Osaka area. Finally, we discovered a hidden basement under the old house. There’s something…unusual in the basement.”
The so-called "extraordinary things" refer to Itakura Ryozo's perverted "collections".
Uncle Yuki continued: "We now suspect that Itakura Ryozo is related to more than a dozen cases of disappearance. However, those cases all happened a long time ago, and the prosecution period has passed."
"So, a conscientious entrepreneur might be a pervert behind the scenes?"
"Well... our people now suspect that the music box ghost talk you reported is the undead of a victim who was killed by Itakura Ryozo. This kind of undead ghost talk, the more resentful it is, the more powerful it becomes, and it is extremely aggressive. You are alone Under such circumstances, you must not act rashly." Uncle Yuki warned again.
"I know, I'm already planning to leave Osaka and go back to Tokyo."
"Well, that's good." Yuuki Makensuke breathed a sigh of relief, "Speaking of which, why did you show up in Osaka? Your boy's surname is not Kamiya, but Conan, right? How do I feel about your appearance? There are always strange stories happening in places?"
"No, uncle, you got the cause and effect wrong." Kamiya corrected him seriously, "As a folk exorcist, as well as an official non-staff exorcist. It is my duty to exterminate demons and protect the Tao, so wherever there is news about ghost stories, I That’s where it will go.”
Yuuki Makenyu on the other end of the phone was silent for a while after hearing this.
He always felt that there was something wrong with this.
But I can't find anything wrong with it.
After being speechless for a while, Uncle Yuki remembered something again: "By the way, boy. There is one more thing I want to tell you. About the strange story about the mysterious person who appeared to assist you when you defeated the Fat Fairy before."
"Oh? Please elaborate." Kamiya became more interested.
The so-called mysterious story about helping to defeat the Fat Fairy was essentially made up by Kamiyagawa using the effects of [Kabuki Puppet] and [Oni's Leather Clothes].
He was quite curious about what the official people thought of this, the vest number that he pulled out to divert attention.
Uncle Yuuki: "The identity of that Kaitan is very mysterious. Although the people of the organization immediately channeled the spirit of the Fat Fairy Flesh Soul, Furuhashi Sawa.
But his body was too badly mutilated, and no useful information could be obtained through the channeling. So our understanding of that mysterious story is still limited to your oral account and the surveillance video of the park at the time. "
In the official exorcism organization, there are psychics who are similar to forensic doctors.
Kamiya knows this.
Moreover, even before defeating the Pink Fairy, he had learned from Uncle Yuki that there were limits to the art of necromancy.
Channeling is most useful when the body is well preserved and the time of death is short.
However, after the battle, the corpse of Furuhashi Sawa had been chopped into disarray by Mari and Kamiya.
Naturally, no valuable clues can be found through channeling.
Yuki Makisuke: "The characteristics that can be seen on the surveillance video are not consistent with any of the friendly ghost stories registered in the special investigation and countermeasures room data. It is still difficult to distinguish between friend and foe. If you encounter it again, you still have to Be careful and notify me as soon as possible."
Kamiyagawa: "Registering friendly ghost stories? Uh, wait a minute, are there official friendly ghost stories that have been prepared?"
"Of course there are, but the number is very small." Regarding this point, Yuuki Makensuke did not elaborate on it, but flipped through it lightly and changed the topic.
"The unknown ghost who defeated the Fat Fairy was also given a codename within the organization - Jianyu Thundergod."
"Thor?"
After hearing this code name, Kamiyakawa could not hold back for a moment.
But still managed not to laugh.
Kamiya's vest is officially called Thunder God for a reason.
Kamiyagawa himself knew how to control thunder and had not reported it to the Special Investigation and Countermeasures Room.
According to the information from the official organization, Kamiyagawa's abilities only include the superb spirit-killing sword technique and the unique spirit-controlling technique.
Therefore, the traces of lightning strikes left in the park in Shinjuku that night were naturally considered to be the result of mysterious stories.
Moreover, it rained that night, and when Kamiya was wearing a mask, the Yin Thunder he summoned hit the water and tidal wave. It was so powerful that it even triggered the response of natural thunder.
The traces of lightning left in the park were extremely shocking.
After careful evaluation, the official people certainly did not think Kamiyagawa could pull off such a trick.
After informing Itakura Ryozo and the "Takemi Thunder God", Uncle Yuki had nothing extra to talk to Kamiya.
In communication between men, there is always something to say and it ends as soon as it is finished.
In addition, Kamiya also made an appointment with Uncle Yuki to meet him when he has time.
He said he had something good to give him.
This good thing is naturally the [Strengthening the Kidney Nine Flavor Pills] that I got from the medicine seller.
A truly good medicine without any side effects.
The future co-master of ghosts and gods has personally used it, and the effect is great.
After only taking it for a few days, he really felt that his kidneys were more "powerful" than before and he had more energy.
However, Uncle Yuki has been a little busy lately, so it will probably be a while before we meet again.
Kamiyagawa was not in a hurry to send the [Strengthening Shen Jiuwei Pill] to the other party or anything, and just planned to wait until the next meeting.
The two hung up the phone.
At this time, Kamiyagawa had just finished making noodles, put down his kuaizi, picked up the bowl and took a sip of tonkotsu soup.
After taking a big mouthful of hot and delicious soup, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"Jianyu Thundergod? The officials really gave my vest a famous name."
