Kamiyagawa stood beside the Kisaragi platform, and the Kaidans stood beside him.
As for the dark crowd, they always kept a certain distance from him, not daring to raise their heads and look directly at him, respectful and fearful at the same time.
Kamiyagawa glanced around the crowd, then reached out and took out the "Kisaragi Train's Cab Key" from the "Mirage Bag".
As soon as the simple key came out of the bag, it was connected to the entire Kisaragi platform.
The originally monotonous white metallic luster on it became a bit more powerful.
At the same time, the rust-red rails below the platform began to tremble, and the roar of the train sounded from far to near.
At the end of the railway track that everyone could see, an extra train appeared out of thin air.
It looks just like an ordinary train, with a long white body and two rows of black windows.
The bullet-shaped front of the car is curved, and the lights on the front of the car are shining, projecting a beam of light, which is very dazzling against the dead and dull sea of trees on both sides of the railway track.
Clang-clang-clang-clang-
The Kisaragi train slowly stopped at the station.
The strangers standing on the platform and on the edge of the platform looked at this ghost train. Some were excited, while others were anxious.
But everyone was looking around, and no one was the first one to get on the bus.
At this time, the hearse group standing at the edge of the Divine Valley spoke again.
Oishi Junma: "Why are you just watching? Get in the car."
Takayama Mai: "Everyone, the train has stopped and entered the station. After boarding the train, you will be sent back to the outside world. Be grateful. This is the kindness of Lord Thor."
Obara Hayao: "Hmm... um... it's kindness."
Dashi and Gao Shan, two members of the Hearse Troupe whose intelligence is no different from that of strangers, are very easy to use as younger brothers.
Like the current situation, Kamiya is wearing a leather jacket and needs to maintain a cold image and develop a character.
Big rocks and mountains can serve as his mouth substitutes.
Due to the urging of the hearse group, strangers began to get on the train at the edge of the platform.
The first person to get on the bus was the old social animal who had been working with Xiao Pingtou before.
Before boarding the train, the old man turned around timidly and bowed deeply to Kamiyakawa, who was standing quietly not far away.
Others slowly started to take action, and most of them followed suit. Before boarding the train, they bowed to "Lord Thor" and Qi Tan for rescuing them to express their gratitude.
More than a hundred people slowly got on the bus, with Masao Nagatomo staying at the end.
"thank you."
Xiao Pingtou carried the stone hammer on his back and bowed respectfully to "Lord Thundergod".
Because he is a baseball player, he is already quite strong and tall. With that primitive and wild-looking hammer, he really looks like a resolute warrior no matter where he stands.
Kamiya raised his head slightly and looked at him.
You can see the white humanoid soul lingering behind Changyou, roaring something against Changyou's ear.
"The little old man reported to me that Nagatomo picked up the weapon that Hands and Feet dropped, and he has the ability to easily defeat F-level monsters. It is estimated that this is not only the increase given by the weapon, but also the parasitic effect on him. The living soul in the body has a lot to do with it...I'm afraid it's not a substitute messenger."
Kamiyakawa thought so.
He had some guesses about the living soul in Xiao Pingtou.
Anyway, he might not be an ordinary person, but he might have been an exorcist who was trapped in another world.
"Changyou is haunted by this living soul. I don't know yet whether it is a blessing or a curse, or a combination of both. We will have to wait until he returns to reality before considering it."
Kamiyakawa nodded to Xiao Pingtou in silence.
The latter turned to look at Usagi Maru and the hearse group, and bowed solemnly: "Thank you, and Kamiya-kun."
"Brother... you are very brave." Little Rabbit shrank his neck and spoke a little shyly.
Although this child is very ferocious when fighting, he has an extremely introverted personality, which means he can become a little more lively in front of his elder brother Kamiya, whom he admires greatly.
As for the members of the hearse group, they expressed their gratitude to Xiao Pingtou in a very generous manner: "We should thank you. As for the boss, you can tell him personally after you go out."
Nagatomo Masao also entered the carriage.
The Kisaragi train made a slightly harsh whistle, and the door slowly slid shut.
This ghost train, which brought many strangers into the other world, was restarted, carrying more than a hundred surviving survivors, and getting back on the road with a train full of expectations, joy, and uneasiness.
This time, it will send living people back to another world.
Clang-clang-clang-clang-
The rust-red rails trembled as the Kisaragi train moved faster and faster, getting further and further away from the platform.
At this time, Kamiyagawa, who had remained cold and majestic, standing there as still as a clay statue, finally took action.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
He couldn't hold himself any longer.
"This Kisaragi train doesn't obey my control? I haven't even gotten on the train yet! You thought I was a conductor or something, but in the end you didn't even need me to get on the train!?"
…
"Finally, I can finally go back!"
"However, the girl named Hasumi said before that once we enter a different world, the original world will completely forget us. Even if we go out, we will only have no identity and no people from the past..."
"What Hasumi said may not be true, and maybe after we go out, the original world will remember us again?"
"I have been in this different world for more than ten years... Even if I leave, will those people outside who I care about really still be there?"
"Anyway, it's better to go back to the original world than to stay in this hellish place, right?"
"..."
In the carriage of the Kisaragi train, the surviving strangers were communicating with each other.
What will you face after leaving the other world and returning to the original place?
No one on the train was sure.
Nagatomo Masao was carrying a stone hammer on his back and holding a small piece of broken red rope in his hand. He stood silently in the corner of the carriage, listening to the noise of the people around him, and felt as if he was on an ordinary train in the real world.
Of course this is just an illusion.
"When I stay in this other world, I want to go out all the time, but after I go out, will my mother, Sayuri and the others still remember me?"
If those who care really don’t remember you, then what should you do next?
Nagatomo stared out the car window.
In his hole, the light and shadow outside are reflected, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.
Clang-clang-clang-clang-
The train continued to move forward, the carriage swayed slightly with the movement of the vehicle, and the lights inside the vehicle were bright and steady.
Buzz.
Suddenly, everyone in the car heard the sound of the train entering the tunnel.
The surroundings suddenly fell into darkness and dead silence.
I don’t know how long it took, but Changyou regained consciousness and heard the noise of people around him.
He looked around and found that he was standing in the corner of a subway platform.
The crowds in the stream were bustling, students and working-class people were walking in a hurry, and the click of high heels and hard leather shoes on the smooth ground could be heard. At first, no one seemed to pay attention to the sudden appearance of Nagatomo. But the familiar and busy atmosphere around him really made Xiao Pingtou feel like he was back in the world again.
He knows this place, Asakusa Station.
The platform near Sayuri's home, where he had boarded the Kisaragi train before.
"Look at that man over there, what he's carrying on his back... is a hammer?"
"It's just a cosplay prop, otherwise I won't be able to get into the subway station."
"The shape looks a little too realistic."
Gradually, someone finally noticed Changyou standing there stupidly, but at most they just whispered and discussed a few words in a low voice about the stone hammer he carried on his back.
After a while, a monk wearing a cassock and two uniformed police officers walked out of the crowd.
They walked in front of Nagatomo Masao, and the young monk clasped his hands and saluted: "Amitabha, is it Nagatomo Masao? Don't be nervous, we are members of the special search and countermeasures room. My name is Kanazawa Seira. I am here to wait for you." "
"specialized?"
"Yes, according to Kamiya-kun, you boarded the train at Asakusa Station, so it is possible to come back here. Come with us, the things you carry on your back are too conspicuous, and there are more and more Are people looking at us?"
"Did Mr. Kamiya arrange it again?" Xiao Pingtou relaxed his vigilance.
Monk Kanazawa of the Jodo Shinshu sect did appear here because of the Kamiya River.
Before Kamiya entered the other world and released the strangers, he contacted Yuuki Makiyu and the official organization in the tone of conveying a message for his master, and said hello in advance——
"My master will release and rescue more than a hundred living people who have disappeared from the other world."
This news is certainly shocking.
But Kamiya is now a popular newcomer within the organization. Even if what he says does not carry enough weight, Uncle Yuuki will still support him.
More importantly, the news that the newcomer Yuuki Makiyu brought "understood Kishin" has spread within the organization.
As long as the information Kamiyagawa gave is true and his "ghost master" really did such a big thing quietly, then for the official organization, this may be a way to establish preliminary contact with the "mysterious ghost" Opportunity.
No one at the top of the Special Investigation Countermeasures Room dared not take this matter seriously.
Nagatomo followed Monk Kanazawa and two police officers as they left the Asakusa platform.
When he left the station and returned to the ground, he slightly squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky.
It's noon now and the sun is high.
The sun is dazzling and vivid.
"I'm really back."
…
[Optional mission: Free the strangers trapped in Kisaragi Station, completed! ]
[Get mission reward, full control of the special urban ghost story Kisaragi Station! ]
In this world, there is a sea of trees.
Kamitani held his phone and looked at the new notifications that popped up on it.
"Control of Kisaragi Station... After I dare to send the strangers out, Kisaragi Station and the train will be under my control. Then I am probably really the conductor of the Kisaragi train now?"
But what is the use of this thing?
After unlocking the full authority of Kisaragi Station, holding the train conductor's key, Kamiyagawa could indeed feel the platform under his feet and the existence of the Kisaragi train, and the relationship between them and himself had been strengthened a lot.
He turned his palm over and gently grasped the train conductor's key, thinking slightly in his mind.
The rust-red rails trembled slightly, and the sound of "clang-clang-clang" of the train came from far to near.
The Kisaragi train that had just sent the people back to reality appeared again and stopped at the edge of the platform.
After spending some more time, Kamiyagawa carefully studied and understood the newly acquired "big toy" in the other world.
Finally, he roughly understood the purpose of Kisaragi Station under his control.
First of all, a very powerful point is——
As the owner of Kisaragi Station, Kamiyagawa can now control Kisaragi Station generation in the other world.
The specifications and style are the same as the station that exists in the sea of trees in Aokigahara.
However, the Kamiya River can only generate platforms on the edge of the Kamitani River, which means that it can only be built at the places where the map has been opened: Gui School, Inuning Pass, Dreamland, and Jiji Hospital.
Secondly, the ability of Kisaragi Train in its own urban ghost story is also taken over by Kamiya.
He can now make the Kisaragi train appear at a real station in the real world, pick up a few living people, take them into the other world, and stop at a certain Kisaragi station.
"That is to say, I can now use the Kisaragi Train to bring strangers into the other world. This ability is indeed powerful, but... I don't seem to have the need to do so."
When a living person enters the other world, the first thing he has to face is the "hidden spirit", and the traces of his existence in reality will be completely erased.
Even Kamiyagawa himself was not willing to bear it.
Yes.
Although he is the owner of Kisaragi Station, if he takes the train into the other world with his real body, his own existence will also be hidden by the gods.
The gain outweighs the loss.
"To explore and conquer the world, you still need to use the mechanism of paper man and divine weapon."
"But... if I want someone to disappear completely, maybe I can pull the other person into the other world and solve it. Kill them directly without leaving any traces, and no one will know... Tsk, this idea is a bit It’s scary.”
"If I turn black in the future, it will definitely be a huge threat to the real world."
Last but not least, Kamiyagawa can now try to build a transportation network in the other world.
Use the Kisaragi train to connect the map that passes through Shenzhen to achieve the leap between the two maps.
The time required for this "crossover" is very short. When the Kisaragi train is running, it can appear directly near the next platform as long as it passes through the "non-existent tunnel".
It’s not much different from Kamiyagawa himself teleporting in a divine hut.
"I can just cross the map myself and use the teleportation function of the Kanna. However, transportation in the underworld is not completely without value. If I still want Usagi Maru to cross the map to help me complete tasks in the future, I can just use Kisaragi Station directly. There is no need to Use the [Takamagahara Pass].”
"Perhaps not just Usagi Maru, but any non-Shikigami Kaidan who are willing to obey me, I can use the train to carry them across the map. This is much more convenient than before."
After figuring out how to use Kisaragi Station at this stage, Kamiyagawa once again gently grasped the conductor's key in his hand, causing the ghost train parked beside the platform to disappear.
Then he had a sudden thought and turned to look at the members of the hearse group who had been following him quietly.
"Dashi."
"What's wrong?"
"Come here, come here."
Kamiyakawa waved to his yellow-haired little brother and handed the train conductor's key into his hand.
"W-what does this mean, boss?"
Oishi Junma held the simple key with both hands and was at a loss.
"Don't you feel anything? Like you want to become one with this key or something?"
"Uh...Boss, it seems not."
"Oh, that's okay."
In fact, what Kamiyagawa just thought of was——
Although Kisaragi Station and Kisaragi Train are not conscious, they are also a type of ghost stories.
It feels somewhat similar to the hearse group driving the Mazda ghost car.
If you insist on classifying it, maybe they all belong to the weird stories about transportation?
And the conductor's key is obviously the core of Kisaragi Station. Since it is the core, maybe it can be regarded as a "ghost relic"?
For example, the skin of the Pink Fairy that was fused to Prajna, the skeleton of another Quasi-Zafu absorbed by Fu Bao, the origami bird adopted by Mary, etc.
According to this idea, if you are brave enough, will the hearse group have the possibility of absorbing [Kisaragi Conductor’s Key]?
But unfortunately, unlike Kamiyagawa's guess, Oishi didn't feel anything after getting the train key.
"But if you think about it carefully, the hearse team of five people plus one car, together, is only F-level. A special ghost talk of the size of Kisaragi Station is obviously not on the same level as them, there is a huge difference. Even if there is indeed acceptance and integration The possibility is probably not now. Dashi and Gaoshan are still a little weaker after all."
With Kamiyakawa thinking this way, he raised his hand and took back the key that Oishi held carefully in his palm.
"Boss, what are you thinking about?"
"Like a parent, thinking about your future."
"ah?"
"Stop, let's go, go home. All of you behaved well this time, Usagi Maru too, go back and light candles for you to eat, and eat with open arms."
"Great!"
The weirdos cheered.
