Truth is everywhere within range

Ariko Asano has been a little depressed recently.

It's not because of the school festival.

As junior high school students, their participation in school festivals is actually not that high.

Just because Ariko Asano is a member of the student union, she has to be responsible for some affairs.

But now I have some free time.

The reason why she was depressed was that Qiao Qiao didn't seem to take her on any ghost extermination commissions recently.

[Ariko☆Kira]: Teacher, teacher, I have some time recently~

[Ariko☆Kira]: If you have a request to remove spirits, you can come to me to watch~

【Ariko☆Kira】: I will be there obediently.

[Ariko☆Kira]: That’s right, Saya is starting to get close to people now. Teacher, if you have a chance, you can come to the shrine to see it~

The night before yesterday, after finally finishing the school festival, Ariko Asano was able to contact Qiao Qiao.

Four lines were sent in succession.

After five minutes, Qiao Qiao replied.

[Qiao Qiao]: I haven’t encountered a ghost removal request recently. If I encounter one, I will inform Asano Miko.

Saturday.

afternoon.

"well."

Ariko Asano rolled around on the bed after finishing her training.

Come, come, come.

Continue to worry about not being able to study.

I had learned about it a little bit before, but I didn't expect that the lower-level exterminators were really hard.

In the country of peace.

The shrine is responsible for weddings and other happy events.

The temple is responsible for funeral matters.

Onmyogliao is a state department, and Onmyoji is a civil servant.

These organized spirit exorcists have their own jobs on weekdays, and exorcism is just incidental.

Even if you can't get the commission, there's no problem.

But an independent spiritual master like Qiao Qiao.

If there are fewer commissions, then there really are no commissions.

but.

After returning from the Maldives.

Ariko Asano has heard a lot of things.

For example, the teacher encountered an evil boy on the first day of the Golden Week holiday.

On May 1st, I also participated in an incident involving a monster.

In addition, last weekend, there was news that a criminal monster stronghold was destroyed at Meiji Shrine, and the teacher was also active in it.

This means that the teacher is not idle during this time.

It's a pity that I won't be here during this time.

Otherwise, I can learn more of the teacher's spirit-removing techniques.

Thinking of this, Ariko Asano suddenly felt something in her heart.

Picked up the phone.

Buzz——

The phone vibrated.

Ariko Asano almost lost her grip on her phone.

He spun a few times in mid-air before landing on the bed.

It's Qiaoqiao's Line.

Very brief.

[Qiao Qiao]: Asano Miko, I have a ghost-killing commission here. Do you have time?

"Yes, yes!"

Ariko Asano replied immediately.

After getting the address, Lightspeed changed his clothes, picked up his bag, and ran out of the house.

"?"

Asano Shoji frowned slightly as he witnessed his daughter going out from the Tokyo branch of Atsuta Shrine.

"has a problem."

Two hours ago.

Yamanote online.

Qiao Qiao is holding a library book and studying.

The library of the Republic of China does not only contain entertainment novels.

To be precise, Bunko books are a type of binding compared to hardcover books. Because their size is easy to carry, they are very popular among some office workers commuting on the subway.

As for the various entertainment literary works derived from this, that is another topic.

The library in Qiao Qiao's hand is about monster legends.

After coming into contact with Suzuka, Qiao Qiao's interest in studying monsters became even more intense.

While studying, Qiao Qiao discovered that there are two types of monsters that the Japanese nation distinguishes from monsters.

One is monsters that are animals, plants, grass and trees that have been infiltrated with spiritual power and finally given birth to consciousness and transformed into human beings.

The other type is the invisible natural objects, such as wind, frost, etc., which gain faith due to legends and strange stories, thus creating monsters.

For example, Suzuka is the first type.

Kamaitachi, on the other hand, is the second type.

The research on the first type of monster is relatively in-depth. After all, it takes the form of an animal and can be compared with biology.

But the second kind of monster is more troublesome.

First of all, this type of monster is even more "weird", the weirdest among weirdness, and cannot be measured by ordinary means.

Secondly, the number of such monsters is relatively small, and the samples are very few.

Finally, there are even fewer such monsters under the jurisdiction of the Spiritual Masters Association. Almost all of them are wandering around, which is both mysterious and dangerous.

Just like Kamaita this time, he is a rare research object for major organizations.

Although Qiao Qiao didn't ask about Kamamita's fate in the end.

But according to Ii Masaharu.

At least part of it remains at Meiji Shrine.

As for the monsters in those three strongholds.

In the end, the body decayed, and the remaining parts were sent to the Yin Yang Hall for research.

No results have yet been obtained as to why they mutated.

The Yamanote Line is the Tokyo Metropolitan Loop Line, and there are many people there even on holidays.

Qiao Qiao gave up his seat to an old man and stood firmly in the middle of the carriage.

He went to the library this morning to check out more information about monsters. There are two borrowed books in his bag now.

In Japan, weirdness is not a secret.

In addition to spiritual masters with spiritual powers, many literati and nobles are also interested in these weird things.

For example, it is said that Zashiki Warashi is a being that can bring good luck to people, and it is a secret that major families are eager to explore.

In modern times, there are even more weird stories.

Such as monster comics, novels, and games.

Qiao Qiao even learned that some works with similar themes were actually produced by monsters.

Making money is secondary, the real intention is to change the public's impression of some monsters.

For example, Inugami, in the past, in many places' rumors, it was just a simple weird thing like the ghost of a dead dog.

After absorbing spiritual power and faith, he became a god-like existence.

From the spirit, he became a monster.

But after it was written into a novel and drawn into a comic.

Inugami has gradually become an amiable existence, and in some places it is even regarded as a local characteristic cultural image.

As humans gradually influence monsters, monsters also subtly influence humans.

Think of this.

Qiao Qiao suddenly felt something and raised his head.

The subway arrived at the station and people got off the train.

Qiao Qiao caught the Yin Qi in one of the people who got off the car.

As said before.

Qiao Qiao's psychic vision is all-weather.

In crowded places, he could often see traces of yin hanging around many people's necks.

This is not to say that they are haunted by evil spirits.

If you live in a place with bad Feng Shui, your mental state will deteriorate and your body will become weak.

These may lead to the accumulation of Yin energy.

In most cases, there is no need for a spiritual master to take action, and the yin energy will dissipate over time.

Just like a cold, even if you don't take medicine, you can get better by lying down for a few days.

But the person Qiao Qiao saw just now.

The yin energy on the body is a bit gloomy and there is a lot of it, which does not seem like a normal condition.

If ignored, it may affect physical health and even lead to accidents due to abnormal mental state caused by yin energy.

I looked at the platform and saw that Shibuya is not too far from Shinjuku.

Qiao Qiao also got off the subway and followed him out of the station.

Then, he stopped the man at a corner.

"This gentleman."

Qiao Qiao said hello, causing the man to frown in confusion.

"can I help you?"

Chinese people are still very polite.

In other words, he is still very polite on the surface.

Even if he was stopped halfway, the man just didn't understand and wasn't angry.

So, Qiao Qiao continued.

"I see that there is a lot of Yin Qi accumulated in your body, and it has a tendency to spread. If it is not dealt with in time, it may cause some bad things."

"?"

The man was stunned.
