"Yeah, that's right."
Kiryu's answer was rather perfunctory, and he was mainly focused on finding information.
Mamiya Youxiang didn't mind, and said to herself: "I have also experienced many strange stories, such as going to take spiritual photos in a tunnel where ghosts are rumored to be, and I have also experienced strange stories about classmates disappearing in front of me. It's just that The police didn’t believe what I said… Since then, I started researching and investigating the ghost stories, looking forward to one day being able to prove what I said with actions.”
"Psychic portrait?"
Kiryu stopped, looked at Yuka Mamiya, and asked: "Is the spiritual portrait a curse?"
He thought of Fujino Terumi's spiritual portrait.
"I haven't found any curse yet. If you are really scared, you might just burn the photos." Mamiya became a little excited because of Kiryu's question.
Kiryu just nodded, then lowered his head and continued to study.
Mamiya noticed that Kiryu was holding a copy of "The Encyclopedia of Japanese Monsters" and asked curiously: "What are you investigating, junior Kiryu?"
Kiryu thought for a moment and said, "I met a ghost, a monster that likes to eat ghosts."
"Ghost?" Mamiya asked.
Japanese "ghosts" are different from Chinese "ghosts". Japanese ghosts have a concrete appearance, and can be said to be monsters with specific images.
The "ghost" usually looks like a tall man with horns on his head, wearing a tiger skin skirt on his lower body, and holding a big stick.
It is said that because the ghost gate is located in the "Chou" and "Yin" directions, the ghosts have the characteristics of ox and tiger.
It happened that the "Encyclopedia of Japanese Monsters" Kiryu was flipping through happened to stop on the "Ghost" page. There was a survey by folklorists, and among them there were ghosts who also absorbed the image of Buddhist "Rakshasa".
He continued to flip through the book.
"It's not a ghost." Kiryu shook his head: "That's a very cute girl with a sweet smile."
"It always feels like you're talking about your crush." Mamiya looked at Kiryu with a scrutinizing gaze.
"What I said is true!"
Kiryu said: "She said that she was the child of a human and a ghost, and that she feeds on spirits. Getting close to humans and eating the spirits behind them seems to be her purpose."
"So, junior fellow student, you are being targeted?" Mamiya asked.
"Um"
Kiryu nodded: "I met her when I boarded the train of the dead, and she seemed to be looking for me."
"Tooth white, tooth white, tooth white!" Mamiya exclaimed repeatedly.
Kiryu continued: "The worst thing is that she seems to be really human, so violent actions are not advisable."
This is also the regret in Kiryu's heart. Sinking his body in Tokyo Bay is the last option... maybe.
"I will help with the investigation!" Yuka Mamiya said seriously.
If there is a college student who studies folklore to help me, I will definitely save a lot of effort.
Kiryu breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you."
"In exchange" Mamiya raised a finger: "Can you let me meet the woman who can eat ghosts?"
"ha?"
"This is absolutely not possible!" Kiryu shook his head: "That guy's movements are as agile as a wild beast. I can't protect you."
"Don't worry." Mamiya took out an electric shock device from his pocket. When he pressed the switch, he could see the electric arc: "As a female student who often investigates ghost stories, it makes sense to carry an electric shock device with her."
He just mentioned it, but after seeing that Kiryu really disagreed, Mamiya Yuka didn't mention the idea of meeting Misaki again.
With Mamiya Yuuka's help, the entire investigation progressed a lot faster.
But they just flipped through the book a little faster. In fact, they didn't have any information on how to deal with Misaki.
When it got dark, Kiryu and Mamiya took the subway and left the university together.
The two people live about five kilometers apart, so it's quite a road trip.
"I recently found a special house." Mamiya sat next to Kiryu, his legs swinging casually, as freely as sitting on the bow of a ship.
Kiryu looked at Mamiya. Even though they had just met her, this woman definitely belonged to the bold "suicide" type.
“It’s an apartment where someone has passed away.”
Mamiya continued: "I heard that a girl was followed by a man, and then the girl was brutally killed in the apartment."
She turned her head sideways and looked at Kiryu slightly because of her height. She blinked and smiled mischievously: "I rented that apartment, but I haven't moved there yet because it has been unoccupied for a long time and the smell is very musty. I can only leave the windows open for a few days to let out the smell before moving in."
"It's best not to live there." Kiryu shook his head and said, "That kind of thing does exist in this world."
In an apartment where people have died, even if there are strange stories in it, it is unlikely that it is a powerful being.
Kiryu still insisted on his own ideas. If it was a weird story that could kill people at will, he would definitely not engage in such a convoluted thing.
"Don't worry, if I have any trouble, I will call you as soon as possible!" Mamiya took out his cell phone and waved it to Kiryu.
That means he's asking for Kiryu's number.
Although a girl asked for his mobile phone number, Kiryu couldn't be happy at all. He always felt that he was involved with a troublesome person who was as good as his "ghost story radar".
But the other party really helped me today and I was too embarrassed to refuse.
After the subway arrived at the station, Mamiya stood up.
"By the way," she suddenly stopped and said, "I heard that deep in the subway tunnel, there used to be an arms depot during World War II. There are many ghosts inside. Kiryu-kun, please be careful when riding the subway."
After finishing speaking, Mamiya Yuuka didn't care about Kiryu's expression at all, and happily got off the train and left.
In the empty tram carriage, traveling through the tunnels, Assassin Kiryu's mind was filled with strange rumors, and he was once again convinced that Yuka Mamiya was definitely a girl with bad taste! .
After leaving the subway, I walked on a path on my way home.
"Hey, you bastard, you better take it back!"
Kiryu stopped and found three people surrounding a strong student on the side of the road.
If it wasn't three against one, I'm afraid it wouldn't be certain who would bully whom.
"Hey, Mamoru," Kiryu shouted, "What are you three doing?"
Those who were engaging in violent activities were none other than the young guardian, Yuuto Amaishi, and Daigo Kosagawa.
Hearing the shout, Mamoru, who was about to use his fists to reason, stopped, turned around and looked at Kiryu with a surprised look on his face: "It's Boss Kiryu!"
Mamoru explained: "Well, this guy is actually slandering Kanta's sister. The three of us can't stand it, so we caught him and gave him a good treatment."
Kiryu thought to himself: "Aren't you guys secretly watching Mikami-san's works? Speaking of which, you haven't given me the movie you promised to lend me until now. You don't want to keep it all to yourself!"
