A huge, ferocious black dog, lying on all fours, its muscles tangled. The long black hair on his body moves automatically without wind, dancing with the red light and burning with fiery sparks.
The scarlet eyes shone with a greedy and violent light, and every breath he took from his mouth and nose was accompanied by an ancient aura of decay.
As a master, he is naturally happy with Inugami's promotion, but this situation is still expected.
"I've eaten so much big and small ghost stories, even if I rely on scraps to supplement my nutrition, I really should be promoted."
However, [Digging up corpses and swallowing evil] finally revealed its first sub-skill, which was an unexpected surprise.
"One thing to say, the probability of triggering this feature of corpse digging seems to be quite low. It took me so long to get the first sub-skill by eating strange meat. However, [Scarlet Rot Poison] is great. Carrying Karmic Fire The corrupt dog...it’s quite touching to think about it.”
Combining the burning of karmic fire with the scarlet toxin, Gouzi has now taken a big step forward in providing abnormal buffs to his enemies.
According to Kamiyagawa's original breeding idea, he wanted to train Inugami to be an injury-bearing position in the team.
Although he has three shikigami under him.
But among them, Prajna must be bound to Kamiyagawa himself when fighting a tough battle.
The remaining Mary is a protruding-faced warrior with diverse methods.
Wearing a mask, Kamiya's positioning is more like a magic swordsman with medium and short attack range, with both physical and magical abilities.
All are strong DPS players on the ground.
Pure chopper team.
"Theoretically speaking, the training directions of my shikigami should be more diversified, the tactical reserves should be deepened, and the fault tolerance rate can be higher when fighting in large group battles. In addition, in response to different battle situations, I can find more ways and ideas to break the situation. "
Like in the previous fight against the Earth Spiders, because the terrain was so bad, everyone fell into a passive position, which was the result of a single tactical reserve.
So it’s good for Gouzi to develop in the direction of debuff machine.
At least there is a different tactical idea than before.
"I wonder if there will be a chance to give Gouzi another defensive or self-healing skill in the future."
If he can successfully acquire such a secondary skill, Inugami might be able to grow into a team leader who can not only gain a lot of strength but also deal high damage!
"But it depends on the situation. If you are more flexible, maybe a unique second sub-skill with other characteristics can also bring a wonderful chemical reaction to Gouzi's skill set."
In short, because of the characteristic of "eating corpses and swallowing evil", the evil-eating Inugami can be regarded as the most diverse shikigami under Kamiyagawa.
Kamiya has high expectations for it.
The future is promising!
"Okay, go back and rest for a while to digest the strange flesh and blood in your stomach. You are not needed here for the time being."
Kamiyagawa reached out and patted Inugami's hard head, which was covered with skulls.
"Ouch."
The latter gave a low bark and returned to the shikigami statue obediently.
"Okay, now it's your time to show off." Kamiya began to greet the little old man standing by who was eager to try.
Almost all the monsters in Ciji Hospital have been eliminated, and the big boss, the Plague God, has also been successfully eliminated.
The next step is pure exploration in the hospital, waiting for the exploration level to increase, and then open the fifth main map.
"Abba whining!"
The little old man with a purple ghostly aura on his body jumped forward and led the way.
…
On the first floor of the hospital, there is a corridor where the tiger-leafing human beings grow.
Perhaps because the flesh and blood in the scene has shrunk, these fleshy figures growing on the squirming flesh look much more sluggish than when they first met.
Kamiyakawa watched outside the corridor for a while, thought for a while, and recalled the little old man.
Walking alone through the corridor.
Because the elite big meat people here have died, Kamiyagawa ignored the remaining small meat people. This time passing through the cholera corridor was much smoother than the first time.
A few minutes later, he came to the underground scene of the hospital again.
The cholera research site has been lost in history, but has been recreated and preserved in the world of ghost stories.
In the red brick room deep underground, Kamiyagawa once again dug out the research notes in each room.
After flipping through it for a while, he suddenly stopped and his eyes stayed on the yellowed page for a long time.
In the content of this page, Kamiyagawa saw an experimental subject named Onuma Seimei——
[Name: Kiyoma Onuma]
[Birthplace: Osaka, Nara Prefecture]
[Age: 13 years old]
[Description of the situation: The sample was infected with Tiger La in the summer of 1977 and entered the recovery period after one and a half months. Thereafter immune signatures began to appear…]
[Experiment record:]
[On the second day, the vital signs of the sample were stable...bloodletting research...]
[On the fourth day, the sample still showed immune characteristics...]
[On the seventh day, daily infusion... the vital signs of the sample were not stable... but it still has not entered the early stage of tiger la la vomiting...]
[On the twelfth day, the sample died...anatomy experiment...]
[On the 13th day, incineration. ]
The extremely dull writing style records the last days of Kiyomi Onuma's life spent in this dark underground space.
"Qingya. I remember that this is how the breeder called the God of Plague before he committed suicide. So, is it her? A... 13-year-old girl."
A girl who was treated like an animal for research just because she had suffered from cholera and recovered from it, and finally left the world without dignity.
Kamiyakawa frowned and made a random guess in his mind:
"The relationship between the breeder and Kiyoma Onuma... a relative? A childhood sweetheart?"
Whatever their relationship was, it must have been very close.
"It seems that the death of Seimei Onuma has made the breeder become very extreme. Now I understand why he is paranoid and wants to use disaster to retaliate against society. Even at any cost, even if he turns himself into a monster."
Moreover, Kamiya estimated that during the long years of seeking revenge, the breeder had long lost his original intention.
When fighting against the Nuo Formation, the breeder had long been prepared to commit suicide.
In other words, Onuma Seimei, who has become the god of epidemics, is also a sacrificial link in his original revenge plan.
"Now I have some doubts about how Onuma Seimei was turned into Hanazune Kaidan. Is it the desperate epidemic in this area, coupled with Onuma's own fear and helplessness before her death...or is it the combination of breeding for survivors at that time? It’s the teacher’s endless hatred that led him to create a B-level plague god?”
"Anyway, with such paranoid hatred, I feel that the breeder will be very difficult to deal with if he becomes a monster..."
Kamiyakawa threw the notebook in his hand casually back onto the dusty desktop.
Then he glanced towards the upper right corner of the table.
There is a photo of Adachi Fujio, the top official of this research institute.
Suits, top hats, civilized sticks, and two sets of exquisite beards.
Well dressed.
Kamiyakawa stared at the photo for two seconds, with obvious disgust in his eyes.
Without warning, he took out a word and knocked it against the table.
Wow!
The long, decaying table was split into two, and the photo of Adachi Fujio was also cut in half.
The tattered rotten trees collapsed and dust flew into the sky.
"Breeder..."
Even if he learned a little bit about his enemy's past, Kamiya didn't think he would reach a reconciliation with the breeder.
Especially since the other party is now full of hatred and obsession, evolving in the direction of weird stories.
"When we meet again, whether you will kill me or I will kill you, we can only say that each one depends on his own ability."
Kamiyagawa put away Ichimonji, turned around and left the red brick house.
So far, the exploration progress of Ciji Hospital is 72%.
…
real world.
Low-rent apartment.
Kamiyagawa's consciousness returned and he sat up from the bed.
In the corner next to the bed, an old-fashioned telephone with peeling paint stood silently.
Satoru, who had helped a lot, was sleeping inside.
Kamiyagawa's other subordinates, that is, the five members of the hearse group, did not follow the world of ghost stories today. They are now sitting around the small square dining table in the room watching TV.
"Boss, you are back."
Among them, Takayama Mayi saw the boss sitting up from the bed, reaching for the remote control, intending to turn off the TV.
But Kamiyakawa just shook his head towards them: "It's okay, you can continue."
As he spoke, he also glanced in the direction of the TV.
The five "people" in the hearse group were watching the news at this time.
The announcer on the screen is narrating in a standard broadcast tone——
"Recently, many violent incidents that have occurred in various places have been completely controlled by the Metropolitan Police Department. The cause of the incident is suspected to be related to some kind of extreme violent organization. Please calm down the panic, do not spread rumors, do not believe rumors..."
"Let's look at the news from Tokyo."
"The sudden outbreak of cholera in Tokyo has affected the hearts of all walks of life... Citizens and friends who have symptoms of vomiting and diarrhea are asked to go to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible... Cholera is an intestinal infectious disease. In today's advanced medical science, it can be effectively prevented and treated Treatment. I would like to remind the general public to protect themselves and not to eat seafood from unknown sources..."
Kamiyagawa looked away from the TV screen.
He knew very well that the "many violent incidents in various places" actually referred to the ghost breeding disaster caused by the previous breeders.
After the death of the breeder, it was under control.
As for the sudden outbreak of cholera, it seems that it was brought about by the arrival of the plague god.
After the death of this B-level monster, a large number of people around Tokyo, especially in Nerima District, suffered from vomiting and diarrhea and were diagnosed with cholera.
If we go back a hundred years, the "Death Rattle" of the Plague God will probably set off another great plague throughout Japan.
However, as said on TV, with the rapid development of medical technology, there is a cure for cholera.
The earlier it is detected and treated, the higher the cure rate.
As long as the medical system can withstand it, it will not turn into a catastrophe.
It can only be said that even in a world where such strange forces and chaotic gods exist, technology is still the primary productive force in the development of human civilization.
…
Over the next two days.
As for the world of Kaitan, we are still exploring the map.
Ciji Hospital in the other world occupies a huge area and has complex terrain and passages.
But there is a little old professional scout who is active, and it is estimated that it will only take a few days to complete the map.
Apart from pushing maps on a daily basis and catching up on holiday homework, the only thing left for Kamiyagawa to do is to wait.
In the business of co-hosting ghosts and gods, we are waiting for the return of the cat shopkeeper who hangs around the park.
Waiting for the news that Uncle Yuuki can forge war ashes.
Waiting for Takamagahara's craftsman sister to compile a list of basic building materials for the Xishe; while waiting for her to finish disassembling and studying the [candle-making monk's blood pump].
After waiting and waiting, the first thing I waited for was a non-work message——
The line sent by the little witch.
Onizuka Kiriho: [Kamiya, tomorrow is Saturday. Are you coming to Kanagawa? Let's go to Yokohama. ]
Kamiyagawa: [ok. ]
The date between Kamiya and Onizuka is also being prepared step by step.
Originally, Kamiyagawa felt that as a boy, he should take the initiative in the first date with the little miko.
For example, actively plan your date schedule and so on.
But regarding this aspect, the little witch seems to have already had her own ideas and preparations.
In the end, the date schedule became entirely up to Onitsuka's arrangement.
…
Located in Yokohama City, Kanagawa.
The first city in Japan to open a port, it is the gateway to the world.
Since the opening of the port, it has been actively absorbing advanced foreign culture, from food to all aspects of society, and has continuously spread "new things" from all over the world to all of Japan. It can be said to be the birthplace of modern Japanese culture.
This open port city was where Onizuka chose to have his first date with Kamiyagawa.
On Saturday, Kamiyagawa got up very early.
After washing and dressing carefully, we took the Phantom Mazda and went straight to Kanagawa.
I found a secluded place to get off the bus before approaching the city, and then took the subway to Minato Mirai Station in Yokohama.
This is the place where he and Onizuka agreed to meet.
Outside the subway entrance, you can see Mount Fuji in the distance.
The top of the mountain is covered with snow, glistening white, and surrounded by drifting clouds, like a jade fan hanging upside down.
If you don't consider that it is an active volcano that may erupt at any time, it is indeed a very good natural scenery heritage.
After waiting for a while by the subway entrance, Kamiyakawa felt someone approaching from behind.
Just based on the spirit slayer's senses, he could tell that the person coming from behind was Onizuka.
However, Kamiyagawa did not look back and still stood quietly.
When the person behind him quickly patted his right shoulder like a prank.
At this time, if you look back cooperatively, you can see Onitsuka Kiriho standing in front of you with a smile on his face: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Well, I waited for about 15 minutes." Kamiyakawa looked at his phone.
"What! When you go on a date, you should say 'I just arrived too'. And, I'm not late! I arrived five minutes earlier than the agreed time."
Today, the little witch is wearing a dark gray knitted cardigan jacket, and a white shirt with a dark red bow tied at the collar.
The lower body is a plaid skirt often worn by Japanese high school girls and small leather shoes. Black mid-calf socks wrap around the slender legs, and the socks slightly tighten the tight white thigh flesh.
She didn't tie her hair up. She probably had her long black hair curled on purpose. It was slightly fluffy and loose, and just right for cuteness.
Because the two of them were standing closer now, Kamiyagawa could smell that the scent of Onitsuka was different from before.
It's a bit richer than usual, but it still smells like a little girl. The soft fruity wood scent is not too aggressive.
Maybe it was because I changed my perfume for the date.
"Kamiya." Onizuka's beautiful almond eyes narrowed in a cute and cunning manner.
"Um?"
"Have you been looking at me for a long time?"
"Ahem, sorry."
"So, no comments? It's not easy for girls to dress up before going out."
"very beautiful."
"Hehe~ Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to an Italian restaurant I like very much." Onizuka raised her lips with satisfaction. As she said this, she handed over the black handbag she had been carrying and lowered her voice. :
"By the way, can you put this... into your space prop for me later? Ah, I also want to have a prop that is as convenient as your cloth bag."
Kamiyakawa nodded and took the handbag down. It didn't feel too heavy.
"But what's in this?"
"Secret! I'll let you know, but not now."
