Juqiong Shrine.
The dim light of the morning sun shines on the white walls and red buildings, and autumn dew stands on the grass blades of the courtyard.
A certain wall of the shrine.
Carrying a bow and bow on his back, Onizuka Kiriho nimbly climbed over the wall and jumped down.
Just as she stood firm, she heard a calm and solemn question coming from the side: "Do you know you're back?"
"Wow!"
The little witch was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.
She turned around angrily, only to see Granny Gu. Granny Gu, wearing a priest's uniform, was standing quietly by the wall, leaning on a blind stick.
"Mother-in-law... I'm timid, don't scare me like this." Onizuka cried in despair.
"I climbed over the wall to go out to meet a boy in the middle of the night and didn't come back until the morning. Is this considered cowardly, Xiaoying?" Granny Gu raised her head, her empty and blind eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, "You have never been there before. I’ve never done anything so rebellious.”
"Well...I know I was wrong."
The little miko's voice was a little weaker.
It seems that what happened last night did not escape Granny Gu's insight at all.
The priest of Juqiong Shrine standing by the wall continued: "Is there anything else you want to defend? For example, it's the boy named Kamiyagawa who insists on getting you out."
"Kamigu... um... uh, I'm going to follow him. I heard that he was going to the pet cemetery to catch cat spirits, and I got a little playful and curious. Kamiya didn't agree with me going there at first..."
The little witch lowered her head and fiddled with her skirt nervously with her hands, like a primary school student who was called to the office by the class teacher for a lecture.
After hearing this, Granny Gu was silent for a while. She gently grasped the head of the blind cane with her skinny palms, and then she said leisurely: "Go and wash up, and then rest for the whole morning. Look at you now, how can you still be a god?" It looks like something.”
The current Onizuka little miko stayed in the forest for most of the night.
Some places on his shirt were caught by the branches in the forest, and his black stockings were stained with a lot of splashes of mud. He really looked a little embarrassed.
"Eh? Mother-in-law, aren't you... not scolding me?" Onizuka raised his head and blinked his beautiful almond eyes.
The old priest of Juqiong Shrine was speechless.
This made the little witch so happy that she said coquettishly, "Mother-in-law, you're the best," and then prepared to smear the soles of her feet with oil and slip back into the room.
But before she had gone a few steps, she heard Grandma Gu behind her calmly adding: "In the next week, the daily amount of training for the Son of God will be doubled."
"Eh?" The little witch paused, "But the usual amount of training is already very heavy. If it is doubled, I will be exhausted!"
"You did something wrong, shouldn't you be punished?" Granny Gu's tone was undeniable.
"Ugh... I understand. I will practice hard in the next week."
"Is it just about working hard in the next week?"
"Oh, mother-in-law, you'd better scold me first to vent your anger."
…
real world.
Tokyo.
Kamiyakawa rode a seven-seater ghost car and returned home at dawn.
After that, the members of the hearse team went into the world of ghost stories and found a perfect place to share the small requiem candles.
In the Tokyo area, the so-called safe world area currently refers to the flower bell school.
There were no powerful monsters, and there were Hannya and Mari watching the scene beside the god.
The sense of security is overwhelming.
After setting up the hearse group, Kamiya closed the curtains in the room and fell asleep.
Although there was no hard battle last night, it was still a tough night. But the flesh-and-blood future co-master of ghosts and gods was exhausted.
I slept until three o'clock in the afternoon.
After waking up, Kamiyagawa, who was feeling soft from sleep, went to the bathroom to wash his face, and then eagerly boarded "Kaitan Monogatari".
Sign up!
The thick color blocks in the sight overlap with each other, outlining the appearance of another world.
Kamiyagawa entered the Takamagahara base camp, and then teleported to the Huabing School.
Beside the shrine of the school, a white Mazda parked quietly with its door closed.
It is estimated that Dashi, Gao Shan and other younger brothers are sharing the scent of candlelight inside.
Kamiya didn't bother them.
He reached into the [Mirage Cloth Bag] and took out the lucky cat ornament.
It was sent gently to a position five or six meters away from the god.
"Meow~"
With a smile on his face, the chubby Lucky Cat let out a cheerful cry and began to swing its paws to attract wealth.
Then, a small Japanese-style stall rose from the ground.
Bamboo frame, white cloth shed, red lantern.
Warm lights illuminate the stall's countertop.
The Lucky Cat ornaments are placed neatly on one side, and there is a standing sign next to it, which reads - [Lingmao Everything House].
In the center of the table, the fork-tailed golden gradation kitten that was previously accommodated is sitting elegantly, with its two tails wagging gently.
It is already the new cat manager of the Everything House.
"I didn't turn into a cat girl."
Kamiyagawa said this, walked to the edge of the stall, and stretched out his right hand.
The cross-tailed Jin Jianlai lazily stood up from the table, rubbing Kamiya's hand back and forth with the top of his head and neck.
Furry and soft.
Moreover, it is different from other common ghost stories.
This cat shopkeeper, who has inherited the ability of the Wanshiwuwu, has a warm body temperature.
It feels very good when you pull it up.
Kamitani skillfully touched the two-tailed cat's head and scratched its chin.
"Meow~ purr purr."
The kitty shopkeeper narrowed his eyes slightly, showing that he was enjoying it, and lay down directly on the countertop, revealing his plush white belly.
It has shown a close attitude to Kamiya since the first time it met him in the pet cemetery, and it remains the same now.
Kamiyagawa glanced down at Jin Jianpei's abdomen.
Hmm... It seems to be a little female cat.
"Girls, be more reserved and don't flip your belly in front of others." Kamiya rubbed Xiao Jin's head again, and then withdrew his hand.
"Meow?"
Shopkeeper Cat raised his head in confusion, still not finished, the words "I still want it" were almost written on his face.
"Kittens have to work hard to get caress from their owners and dried fish...if you like dried fish." Kamiyagawa added.
"Meow meow meow?"
"Aren't you the cat shopkeeper now? Collect props and materials for me around the school. When you come back, I will...well, reward you well."
"Meow~"
Xiao Jin gradually can understand human speech.
It jumped down gracefully from the countertop of the Lingmiao Everything House, raised its two tails, rubbed Kamiya's trousers, and then walked leisurely towards the edge of the secret school.
Walking to the edge of the wall, Xiao Jin gradually jumped up and reached the outside of the school quickly and easily.
Then, Kamiyakawa heard "meow" twice more.
It was probably the kitten shopkeeper who was saying goodbye to him.
Life is not easy, Maomao works part-time.
"This little female cat is really surprisingly well-behaved, so well-behaved that it doesn't even look like a cat." Kamiyagawa sighed.
Logically speaking, there should still be an impenetrable air wall at the wall of the ghost school. Only the ghost talk who has visited from abroad can truly transcend this spatial restriction and reach the streets outside.
And the cat shopkeeper is not a foreign visitor.
"It seems that the core of the All-Things House has given it some special abilities. From the description of the props, this magical All-Things House seems to be quite powerful. There is no need to worry about the little golden gradient for the time being."
"I hope it can bring me some surprises when it returns."
After watching his cat leave, Kamiyagawa looked at the three shikigami statues next to the shrine, and his eyes fell on the third beast-shaped statue.
That's the image of the new god cadaver dog.
Just looking at the tin statue gives people a ferocious and ferocious feeling.
"In a sense, my family is really happy and happy now, and I have both a cat and a dog." Kamiyakawa laughed while looking at the shikigami statue of a cadaver dog.
After Kamiya contracted his dog's ability, he confirmed it on "Kaitan Monogatari" on the way home. Overall very satisfying -
[Shikigami name: Corpse Dog]
[Classification: E-level ghost story]
[Skill: Brutal Strength]
[Brute strength: The cadaver dog possesses extraordinary brute strength, with a specific quantified bite force of up to 6,000 pounds. ]
[Special Skill: Excavating corpses]
[Special abilities unique to very few cadaver dogs. Different from the general candlelight cultivation system, shikigami with this ability cannot absorb the breath of candlelight and cannot be cultivated through black candles. Instead, you must strengthen yourself by eating the flesh and blood essence of other monsters. ]
[After a cadaver dog eats the flesh and blood of other monsters, it has a very small chance of excavating the opponent's abilities for its own use. ]
[The current capacity limit for the corpse digger skill is 1. To remove new skills that exceed the capacity limit, you can specify an old skill to be forgotten. ]
[Zombie Skill: Blank]
Inujiro comes with a total of two initial skills.
Among them, [Brute Force] seems to be a general skill.
As far as Kamiya knows, Miss Mary also has this ability.
In the instructions given by the system, the data embodied for Mary is the strength of both arms. The cadaver dogs gave specific data on bite force.
There isn't much to say about this warrior-oriented skill.
The important thing is the second skill that the corpse dog has.
It's obviously not an alienated body, but it has a special skill.
And this special skill is... so special!
"You can use incense if you don't eat, but you can eat the flesh and blood essences of other Kaitan to strengthen and advance. This feature should save a lot of soul crystals that should be invested in cultivating shikigami."
"There is also the ability to use the skill of digging down enemies for your own use. According to the system gamification explanation, the maximum number of sub-skills that the corpse dog can carry at present is only one. But maybe it can carry more as it becomes stronger in the future."
"Then this will be amazing. The big black dog's plasticity will be super strong."
After staring at the cadaver dog shikigami statue for a few seconds, Kamiyagawa whispered: "Inujiro."
Immediately, there was a black beast shadow, standing up from his side in response to the call.
It is the size of a calf, with long black and smooth hair, and two eyes that glow red like lanterns. In appearance, it looks more like a black, ferocious giant wolf than a dog.
This is Kamiya’s third shikigami cadaver dog.
"Woof woof."
After the black wolf dog appeared, he lowered his head slightly and clamped his tail slightly. The ears that were originally alert and erect also drooped a bit, becoming like airplane ears.
Facing Kamiya, the Onmyoji, it behaved very submissively, but also a little fearful.
Dogs, like their wolf ancestors, have always had a strong sense of social hierarchy.
The way Inujiro looks now, he should be forced to regard Kamiya as a "head dog" type of existence.
"Don't be so nervous. I'm not a devil. From today on, I will be your new master. We must get along well." Kamiyagawa reached out and patted the black wolf dog on the forehead.
The latter just whimpered softly and shrugged his head, a little scared, but did not avoid it.
"By the way, I have prepared some good things for you in advance. It is a gift package for you as a new employee who has just started working." Kamiya said this and took out something from the [Mirage Bag] with his backhand.
If you force the other party to become a shikigami, you will be given some benefits.
The thing Kamiyagawa took out was a dark red piece of dried meat that seemed to be several different parts, malformed and sewn together.
【Dried Liver by Burning Fire】
"Woof?"
The corpse dog barked softly, twitching the tip of its black nose, and slowly came closer to its owner.
"It's for you." Kamiyakawa handed out the dried meat.
The black dog lowered his eyes and carefully took out the piece of dark red dried meat that was stuck together from his master's hand. He opened a little distance before raising his head and chewing and swallowing.
A piece of liver dried up and was swallowed into its stomach.
The moment he ate this strengthening material, there was an obvious flame aura flaring on his body.
As expected, cadaver dogs are very compatible with liver stems.
Kamitani picked up his phone and checked the information about Shikigami.
On the cadaver dog's exclusive information page, I saw the new abilities it acquired.
The third skill.
[Special Skill: Karmic Fire]
[Bad karma harms the body like fire. The corpse-throwing dog can draw the fire of evil karma and burn the enemy. The fire of karma will cause burning damage. ]
Because the new skill [Karma Fire] is obtained by absorbing the strange relics left by the suture burning ghost.
Just like Mary's [Caged Bird] skill, Prajna's [Made from Powder] and [Powder-Fucking Tips].
It will not temporarily reside in the sub-skill column of [Corpse Excavation].
"The liver stems of corpse-hunting dogs and suture-burning ghosts are indeed very compatible."
Kamiyakawa put down his phone and nodded with satisfaction.
"Woof."
The black dog barked softly and came close to its owner again. Its huge head arched the back of Kamigawa's hand and flicked its tail.
The taste of fire-dried liver is very good for it.
After having a stutter, the black dog seemed to feel a little closer to the new owner.
The proud black wolf dog never wants to stay under others for a long time, and it is a different matter if food and shelter are provided.
"As long as you like this little snack. Next up is this, but to be honest, I'm not sure what your process of accommodating this is."
Kamiyakawa put his hand into the [Mirage Bag] again and pulled out a pale beast skull as if by magic.
The corpse dog's scarlet eyes suddenly froze.
It can feel a powerful force coming from the center of its skull, making it irresistible.
It's attracting it, calling it.
Some primitive impulses in the body are stirring and calling.
The thirst for power made it unable to restrain itself from wanting to merge with that skull.
Inujiro almost subconsciously stretched his head and touched the [Inugami Skull].
The pale and ferocious skull underwent drastic changes the moment it touched the black dog.
"Wang Ao——"
Kamiyakawa heard that the skull actually let out an extremely ferocious beast howl, and then it was deeply embedded in the corpse dog's head.
As the Inugami's skull was embedded, the skeletal fascia on the corpse dog's body made a "click-click" sound.
Its body is growing and rising.
The originally strong muscles bulged into knots, full of strength and explosive power, and the limbs began to become thicker, able to support standing.
"Ouch——"
The cadaver dog let out a powerful and excited howl, then turned into a black whirlwind and poured back into the shikigami statue.
Buzz.
Mobile phone vibration.
[Your Shikigami Corpse Dog has been fused with the special material [Inugami Skull]! ]
