I really can't control myself.

Chapter 3525 Encounter on the road

"No, such a small place can produce so many monster legends. It seems that the degree of oppression of women in ancient Japan was really high." Linton couldn't help but say as he walked towards the antique shop.

In his hand, he was holding a book called "Yokai Illustrated Book" which he had just bought from a bookstore. Yes, it was a book that introduced the more popular monsters in Japan.

Isn't this about creating monsters based on existing legends? Linton just bought a book for reference, after all, he didn't know much before.

The few that Linton knew were the famous ones that often appeared in anime and games, such as Yamata no Orochi, Nine-tailed Fox, Shuten-doji, etc. There were also the more popular ones like Kappa Hanako, and it was only after flipping through this book that he realized that there were so many strange monsters in Japan.

The reason why this is related to the degree of oppression of women in ancient times is mainly because there are only three reasons for the birth of these monsters.

One is the fear of something unknown. For example, the echo in the mountains, the ancients did not understand what was going on, so they made up a monster called echo. Another example is the whirlwind phenomenon, corresponding to which there is a monster called sickle weasel.

The second is to make it easier to educate children, and to make up some stories. Simply put, if you don't obey, you will be taken away by a wolf, or if you go to the river to play, you will be caught by a water monkey, etc. For the good of the children, but it is difficult to explain clearly, so it is made up to scare the children.

Finally, it is believed that the social status of women in ancient times was too low, so in order to scare others, some stories were made up to scare others. The purpose was probably to make the other party have some scruples when abusing themselves, and not to go too far.

Something like "When I die, I will become a vengeful ghost and haunt you." Of course, if the other person doesn't believe in vengeful ghosts, then they won't be afraid, right? So many women made up a lot of similar monster legends.

There are a lot of monster legends in Japan, and it can even be said that most of the monsters whose genders can be determined are basically female. There are snow women, wet women, rain women, slit-mouthed women, two-mouthed women... It highlights that a woman is likely to become a ghost after death to harm people, so don't bully women casually.

Especially the last part, which is really the kind that makes people feel overwhelmed when they watch it too much. Linton is not the only one who has such complaints.

"Damn, if I had known I would play the good guy. No, I am a good guy and don't need to pretend. How about trying to make Aizen die so I can play the second priest?" Linton was too lazy to read the book and started thinking of weird ideas again.

Just as I was thinking about it, a shout suddenly came from the front: "Mr. Linton?"

Linton looked up and saw three familiar people. Yes, Linton knew all three people in front of him. In addition to Mayumi Kurase, who he had just met not long ago, the other two were the male protagonist Soma Yukihira and the student who was also in the A examination room during the residential training before, named Mito Yumei.

"It's you?" Yukihira Soma didn't expect to see Linton here. He looked at the direction Linton was heading, which seemed to be the direction of the old commercial street. He then looked at Mayumi Kurase next to him and asked, "Do you know him?"

  Yes, the person who just called Linton was Mayumi Kurase. Soma Yukihira knew Linton because they met during residential training, but Mayumi Kurase is not from Totsuki Academy, so how did she know Linton?

"Yeah, Mr. Linton should be a clerk at Sanshoya... right?" Mayumi Kurase asked uncertainly after she finished speaking, because when they met before, Linton just simply said his name, and it was basically Aizen who was chatting with her. She only knew that Aizen was the new owner of the antique shop, and it seemed that he really didn't know what Linton was like.

"A clerk at Sanshoya?" Soma Yukihira certainly knew Sanshoya, after all, they were on the same street. But he was obviously a little surprised by Linton's strange identity. Judging from the previous situation, it was impossible for Linton to be a clerk at an antique shop.

"I'm not a clerk, but Aizen is my friend. I just came to Tokyo recently and came to visit him." Linton said casually. "Oh, sorry, I misunderstood." Mayumi Kurase said immediately, and then said to Soma Yukihira next to him, "Mr. Aizen is the new owner of Sanshoya."

"New owner? What about Uncle Sada?" asked Soma Yukihira.

"Probably... went back to the countryside." Mayumi Kurase said dejectedly.

"Is that so?" Yukihira Soma didn't suspect anything. After all, he hadn't been back for a while. He just came back today because of the holiday. He didn't know what happened in the commercial street. He thought that Uncle Sada had been gone for a long time. As for the reason, it was naturally due to the recent depression of the old commercial street. Many stores could not hold on.

It seems that I must turn the situation around this time, and Soma Yukihira has made up his mind.

"You look familiar." Linton pointed at Mito Yumei and said.

"This is Rou Mei, also a student of Totsuki Academy. Mr. Linton should have seen him before." Soma Yukihira next to him took the initiative to introduce.

"Why is it called a name that seems to trigger keyword review?" Linton said.

"Whose name is that? Don't spread this name around, or I'll kill you!" Mito Yumei yelled directly, then heaved a sigh of relief and said to Linton, "My name is Mito Yumei, not some meat spirit. Mr. Linton, please give me your guidance."

Mito Yumei obviously knew Linton. Although Linton had never taken any action, the students who had participated in the residential training basically knew that Linton's men had killed a graduate in seconds. In private discussions, they all thought that Linton must be a very good cook, so Mito Yumei respected him so much.

"Hey? Senior Roumei also knows Mr. Linton?" Mayumi Kurase next to her asked curiously.

"So I've already told you that this is not my name. Who told you to call me that?" Mito Yumei yelled, "Also, I'm a freshman in high school like you, so why do you have to call me senior?"

"Huh? Huh? I forgot I'm already a high school student." Kurase Mayumi suddenly realized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

"Don't bully Kurase, Niu Mei." said Soma Yukihira next to him.

"I'm the one who's being bullied, okay? People have even given me weird nicknames." Mito Yumei said excitedly.

Linton looked at the two girls' clear yet stupid eyes, and suddenly felt that the male protagonist Yukihira Hajime was not particularly easy to attract this type of physique. He was still trying to put together the Justice League, so he had to arrange a wave for these people anyway.
