"How do you feel?"
"I've never felt so good! Boss, I've never felt so good!"
"The promotion went smoothly, boss."
"Zhaowei...it feels very good."
The five members of the hearse group who were successfully promoted stood around the ghost station.
Among them, the big stone handsome horse held its head high and its chest high, and its face was radiant, like a crowing rooster. The other four people all had happy faces, but they were not as enthusiastic and uncontrollable as him.
Kamiyakawa stepped forward and patted Oishi on the shoulder, then took out the [Strengthening Fukase Fukushi Phantom's Handled Spoon] and handed it to Brother Mikami, who was quite strong.
This handle spoon is a strange relic of the Styx C-class boat ghost, which is perfect for the current D-class hearse group.
"Thank you...boss."
The expressions of the Mikami brothers are much more lively than before, not so dull and dull, and they can already speak some simple words. The two of them look much calmer than Oishi.
The two brothers raised their hands and touched the handle of the spoon.
The C-class ghost story relic turned into a damp and stale smell, flooding into their bodies, and at the same time, some of it also rushed towards the ghost car parked in the garage.
After a few minutes, all changes stopped.
The family members such as Hiyoribo, Kanata, and Ayaori came to watch the promotion results of the hearse group. They chatted and looked at the five protagonists in the garage with expectant faces.
Kamiyakawa also stared at his younger brothers.
He felt the aura of the underworld similar to death in Santu River.
This aura of the underworld is present in the five members of the hearse group, and the Mikami brothers are the strongest among them, including the ghost car. The aura originating from the Styx should not be of low quality, unlike a lonely ghost.
It is estimated that the previous boat ghost was indeed an error.
"Judging from the breath, it feels a bit like the messenger of the undead."
Kamiya commented in his heart.
He was quite satisfied with this change.
"Mikami, have you mastered any new abilities?"
…
Hualinggui School.
Kamiyagawa brought all five of them here on the night when the hearse team was promoted.
He came here mainly to try out the new skills of the Mikami brothers.
After being promoted to D level and containing the [Strong Fukase Fukuse Ghost's Handle Spoon], the Mikami brothers mastered a brand new ability.
Specifically, it is similar to Obara Hayami's, it is considered a summoning skill.
Sister Hayao can summon a cool ghost motorcycle with her cat-eared helmet, while Mikami can summon a ghost ship with a spoon.
The artificial lake area of the school.
The lake area here is much larger than in reality, so it’s okay to go boating at night. There may still be a few Amafusa in the water, but with the current strength of Mikami and the others, they can easily handle the unrated monsters.
Kamiyagawa stood casually on the edge of the artificial lake with Ichimonji sheathed on his arm: "Try your new abilities here again."
"Okay...boss."
The Mikami brothers nodded slowly. The older brother shook his wrist, and a wooden spoon with a heavy Yin energy appeared in his hand.
The wooden spoon was thrown into the lake and made waves.
Then the roar of the engine sounded.
A small black speedboat appeared on the water.
The ghost ship of Mizukawa Rifune was a wooden boat, but after the relics they left behind were accepted by the Mikami brothers, the ghost ship they summoned was more modern.
I don’t know if this change was influenced by the ghost car or the Mikami brothers themselves.
Anyway, for Kamiyagawa, the modernization of vehicles is a good thing.
"Try it?"
Kamiya tied the [Drown Girl’s Heart Hair] on her right wrist and jumped from the shore onto the stern of the boat.
The Mikami brothers also got on the boat and moved to the driving position skillfully.
With this promotion, the taciturn brothers finally talked more. Kamiya also chatted with them before entering the secret school and confirmed that the two brothers did have good experience in driving ships during their lifetimes.
According to them, their father taught them when they were young in their hometown of Shodoshima.
boom--
The engine roared a little longer.
The ghost ship set off waves in the artificial lake. Its iron-clad bow pierced the water waves and separated a waterway to move forward bravely.
The aroused layers of dark lake water swept past the side of the ship with silvery waves, and then merged with the turbulent waves at the stern of the boat, leaving a shining water strip that expanded to the entire lake surface, reflecting thousands of waves in the moonlight.
As a means of transportation that is also a ghost system, the ghost ship, like the ghost car and the ghost locomotive, shares the same characteristics of speed.
It only took five minutes to circle the large artificial lake in Rishi three times.
Fortunately, Kamiyagawa had ridden a ghost locomotive before and was somewhat accustomed to Hayao's ridiculous speed, so the ghost ship experience wasn't too bad.
"It's very fast, I don't know how many times faster than the skeleton of a whale. It's just a little small, and it can only carry four or five people, but it's enough for me. After all, I carry it all alone." A whole family.”
After some experience, Kamiyagawa was very satisfied with his family's new means of transportation.
While we were experiencing the brand-new ghost ship with Mikami and the two in Kamiya, big rocks and mountains were standing on the shore.
"Yeah! One more lap!"
The good-looking yellow-haired and handsome horse did not forget to cheer for his boss and two friends.
Among all the members of the hearse group, only Obara is not here.
Sister Obara is currently testing a new weapon on the playground, the Matsuzawa shotgun.
This thing was given by that girl Xiaolu.
Earlier tonight, Kanoya returned home from practicing the incense magic with Miss Yunju. He learned that the hearse troupe had been promoted, so he went to the garage with Sanglangpipipian.
She gave gifts to the five people who were promoted in the hearse corps.
Xiaolu would do this every time there were strange rumors about her promotion at home. It was considered a piece of her mind.
What she gave to the hearse group was the modified Matsuzawa double-barreled shotgun.
This thing was originally Xiaolu's trophy. Kamiya had said before that no matter how she dealt with it, it would be fine.
Xiaolu now owns a Glock 17, which was also modified by Sister Jue in Gaotianyuan. The power of the gun has been greatly enhanced. That handle [Glock 17·Modification] is easy to carry and is very suitable for deer to carry for self-defense when traveling in Tokyo.
Moreover, part of the Glock gun body is painted with pink paint, giving it a full girlish feel.
Girls use pink guns, which makes sense.
It’s not a big problem to send the Matsuzawa shotgun away.
Although this shotgun was given to the whole hearse group by Xiaolu, they discussed it internally, mainly with the stewards Dashi and Gao Shan. The two of them finally decided to take time to practice with the shotgun on weekdays, but the most important thing at ordinary times is to use the shotgun. I kept it with Sister Obara——
On the playground of the secret school.
The moonlight illuminates the place weakly and messily, and the black industrial wind turbine shines with a faint metallic luster.
Obara was already wearing a tight-fitting leather jacket, and he was riding astride the car like a cheetah ready to attack.
The engine roared, and the locomotive released wild power.
Xiaoyuan wears a closed helmet, so her expression cannot be seen. The two cat ears on the top of the helmet are the only bright colors on her body after the disguise. Gently twisting the accelerator, the motorcycle accelerated instantly and rushed out. The wind roared from both sides, but her thick and close-fitting motorcycle suit did not move at all.
The locomotive shuttled rapidly on the runway, turning flexibly and steadily, and every gear change was accompanied by a crisp mechanical sound and the roar of the engine.
"whee!"
"Woo!"
A few Xiqi children on the playground were startled by the noise of the motorcycle, and rushed towards Xiao Yuan, crying and laughing.
But the speed of the ghost motorcycle was so fast that the headless high school student who was left behind couldn't even touch the taillights.
boom--
After running another lap, Obara tightened his grip on the motorcycle's handle and pressed the brakes hard at the last moment. The ghost motorcycle was like a beast that couldn't stop, only slowing down slightly amidst the sharp and exciting braking sound.
At this moment, a headless DK passed by Sister Obara.
She changed to hold the direction with one hand, and in the other hand, the double barrels of the modified Matsuzawa shotgun were shining black, stretched out flat and pointed directly at the target.
boom!
The trigger was pulled.
Bullets ejected from the barrel of the gun, piercing the air and making an ear-piercing scream.
The powerful recoil force caused the ghost locomotive to tilt and move at a 45-degree angle, but Obara's amazing maneuverability still maintained the smoothness of the locomotive's movement.
A shot was fired, and plastic and sand flew around the feet of Xiqi Boy, who was regarded as the target.
"Well, missed."
Obara muttered softly, and the motorcycle roared under him and continued to run in circles.
Her driving skills are indeed unparalleled, but her grasp of firearms is just beginning. There is nothing wrong with her not being able to hit the target while moving at high speed.
But even so, the action just now is still very cool!
"Zao Wei, you have to work hard. Let the boss see that Zao Wei is also very powerful."
Sister Obara persevered and pulled the accelerator to continue her actual practice of riding archers on the playground.
The Matsuzawa shotgun has been improved by Sister Jue, and the matching large spirit-breaking shotgun can be made directly from the materials in the Aokigahara mine. The number of bullets is sufficient, and it is not expensive to produce and sell it yourself.
Anyway, apart from taking Xiaolu to and from school, there is no other work to do on a daily basis.
Kamiyagawa's arrangement for her is to study in the trick school and practice shooting moving targets. Anyway, those strange boys in the trick school are no match for Obara. I believe that as long as she practices hard, she will be able to master riding a horse one day. Shooting skills.
…
The land of tidal seas.
Shicun Island.
This is another large island in the sea that is very far away from Otsu Island where the crab tribe lives.
This island is named after Ichisumahime, the second daughter of Munakata's three goddesses, and has always been the territory of the mermaid clan.
Since the sudden disaster in the ocean two hundred years ago, the red tide of unknown origin engulfed everywhere, and only these two large islands remained in the entire sea country.
The situation on Ichisumashima and Otsushima is not the same.
On the Crab Clan's territory, there are still trees on the island, but on the Mermaid Clan's side, the entire island has become barren.
This is a dead island, a creepy ghost land.
The thick miasma blocked the light of the sun, moon and stars, and the entire Shicun Island was shrouded in darkness.
All the trees on the island have long since died and withered, and their branches and leaves are twisted and deformed as if they have grown spikes. They are like tombstones scattered on the desolate land, each one covered with a pale death aura.
The dark wind howled past, blowing the dead trees and bare rocks on the island, echoing with waves of wails and low moans. Sometimes those strange sounds were like small and sharp laughter, sometimes like deep and low murmurs.
On the turbid shoal, two wet bald heads emerged, and the dark blue monk's robes were dripping with turbid water.
These are two rockfish bosses.
Unlike the crab clan, the mermaid clan's habitat is not on the shore, but is mainly distributed on coastal islands and reefs.
Only under certain circumstances will they choose to go ashore.
Due to the red tide invasion from time to time, the mermaid's territory has been blindly devastated.
There are not many tribesmen left. Even if all the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tribe are taken into account, there are less than a hundred Yanyu and Jinu left.
The manpower that attacked Otsushima before was almost all the young men on their side.
"Where is the princess?"
One of the Iwaobo bosses who had just emerged asked this question.
His voice was mixed with a vague tone like the wheezing of an old bellows.
"On that island."
"She... went to sing again?"
"Well, Haiyang still didn't respond to the princess... The crab clan hurt the princess very seriously. She was already very weak, and her current condition is very bad."
"Those bastards hiding in their shells! They were the ones who betrayed their trust first. They left us here to stink and wait to die!"
"...Do we still have hope?"
"If the princess can become the new leader of the Sea Kingdom, if she can get the Poseidon's Scepter."
"But we, we are no match for those crabs. We even got the scepter of the previous queen... After getting it, can we really save the people?"
"I don't know...no one knows."
The two Iwaobo owners were talking quietly until their whispers were interrupted by a chant coming from a distant rock.
That voice was like a clear breeze gently passing through the dense miasma of decay, with a little bit of poetry and warmth, like the whispers from distant stars, like soft and delicate silk.
The miasma on Shicun Island became visibly weaker with the naked eye during this aria without lyrics, and the moonlight that was originally intercepted in the darkness spilled into the island along with the singing.
The dark clouds parted.
The two rock fish owners on the shoal looked up and saw their princess standing on the top of the reef in the distance through the rare light.
The gauze-like moonlight dimly enveloped her whole body, and the violent aura of Jiji's body was covered up, leaving only an ethereal sense of holiness.
But this scene only lasted a few seconds.
Soon, the miasma on the island stirred again, and the turbid water on the beach became restless. The song that had just begun was obscured by the thick miasma, covered by the noisy waves, and soon became muffled and inaudible.
In the end, there was only a heavy sigh.
But this sigh was also swept up in the sound of the waves, desperate and hard to hear.
