Kyoto Shenyin Love Story

Chapter 31 Practical First
Back in the urban area, the white commercial vehicle circled the Panshan Highway a few times and brought the three of them back to Fuyun Shrine.

The huge cedar trees block the sun that is gradually slanting to the west, and there are a few birdsong in the forest from time to time.Tired Bird returned to its nest, but Zong Gu couldn't go back yet.

The time, place, events that occurred, the people involved, the spirits that appeared, the people who dealt with them, and the way they dealt with them together constitute the basic items of information records of supernatural events in Fuyun Shrine and even in Kinki local psychic organizations;

Minami Noma took a quick look and nodded to the "newcomer" in the passenger seat.

"It's almost there, but besides me and Kyoko, your name should be added here as 'handler'."

"I just made a suggestion."

"Add."

"..."

Plus.

"All right."

Soya handed the hard copy of the information to Noma Minami again, and she threw it back after glancing at it.

"What are you doing for me, isn't it Soya's job to sort out information?"

"Is this the beginning?"

Minami Noma ignored him, got out of the car and walked towards the social affairs office, saying hello to other shrine maidens she met along the way.

"Songya-san."

Kyoko Sugawara stood aside, beckoning him to go to the other side, "Come with me."

Arriving at the ancestral hall behind the main hall, Kyoko opened the door of the wooden house next to the ancestral hall and looked back at him.

"In the past 200 years, all the information on the activities of the spirits within the jurisdiction of Fuyun Shrine has been stored here. The older part is kept in Kyoto."

Soya shook his head, "I don't need those ancient information for the time being."

"Please come in."

He walked into the wooden house, and every step he took was accompanied by the creaking sound of the floor under his feet.

According to Jingzi, this wooden house has a long history, and the time of its establishment is unknown, and the last repair was more than 50 years ago;

Because of the important materials stored, the current palace secretary is also considering reconstruction, but it has been delayed due to various unexpected situations.

"It's very deserted."

"Yes."

Passing through the front hall where the spiritual sense person usually lives, apart from rows of bookshelves, there is only a workbench in the deepest part of the room.

The rudimentary furnishings remind Soya of the county library buried deep in his memory, where there is nothing but books...

No, at least there are many kinds of books, which can make quiet middle school students spend a lot of time in them.

The bookshelves are only marked with the year, which is not classified, but simply arranged in chronological order.

Soya realizes that he has a lot of room to play, or that there are too many jobs in the future that cannot be measured.

He suddenly realized that yesterday he said that he would be responsible for sorting out all the information owned by Fuyun Shrine, the source of the hesitant look on Kyoko Sugawara's face.

"Does anyone usually come to read these information?"

"rare."

Jingzi looked at the rows of bookshelves beside her, "The information is complicated, but the really useful information is hidden too deep, making it impossible to get ahold of it."

"It's natural." Soya said, "You just recorded, and didn't even carry out the most basic classification."

"..."

"Haven't Miss Sugawara ever been to the library?"

"I understand what Soya-san means. But spirit bodies are different from books. They only know the surface but not the inside. What is the basis for classification?"

Kyoko went on to say: "Spiritual bodies can be classified into male and female, old and young, Japanese and foreigner according to certain distinctive characteristics, but after becoming a spiritual body, any factors may make the appearance and interior of the spiritual body different. Unpredictable mutations occur, and they become "ghosts" or "monsters" in various forms in the common population... In other words, the number of spirit bodies is almost equal to the types of spirit bodies."

"And the number of spiritual sense people is always limited, and they are already stretched to deal with the spirit body head-on, and there is no one to carry out theoretical research related to the spirit body..."

"—So it's a vicious circle."

Soya took her words, "The less you know, the more dangers you will encounter; and such dangers will not only reduce your staff, but also reduce the number of spiritual beings who are willing to join shrines or temples, and no one will come to carry out spiritual work." Researched."

Kyoko nodded, "Yes."

"Actually, some of the basic theories we have mastered are still summarized from the information given by the spirit bodies that can communicate. It's just that the content is too small and one-sided to form a systematic theory."

She looked at Soya, "Maybe Soya-san has already mastered such knowledge?"

"You think highly of me."

Soya shook his head, taking the initiative to lower Kyoko's expectations.

"I just saw a lot of spirit bodies. For the convenience of memory, I distinguished them in my own way."

"In what way?"

"Forget what they are."

Kyoko Sugawara frowned.

"Don't delve into their essence and the reason why they mutated into their current appearance, only care about one thing: what are they going to do now."

Soya turned on the light, and the dim information room suddenly became much brighter.

"I am a pragmatist, and the way to distinguish spirit bodies is also very straightforward: firstly, whether the spirit body is aggressive, and secondly, the strength of its consciousness.

Combining these two points, I divided the spirit bodies transformed from human souls into four categories.

Wandering Spirits: Non-aggressive.Consciousness is weak and it is about to be wiped out.

Wraith: Non-aggressive.Consciousness, probably with some kind of obsession without hatred.

Evil Spirit: Aggressive.Conscious, contains hatred for certain beings, and attacks accordingly.

Vicious Spirit: Strong aggressiveness and great destructive power.Consciousness may be lucid, but mostly chaotic and insane. "

Sogu took a breath, and finally said:
"Although the boundaries of this distinction are not particularly clear, it has been very practical for me."

"..."

Kyoko Sugawara was silent for a long time, his eyes fixed on one place, and his words just now were circling in his mind.

"Don't care about the essence of spirit bodies, but what they do..."

Zongya let her digest what she just said just now, and followed the time on the bookshelf to find the latest intelligence records.

Greed for life and fear of death is a human instinct, and he was forced to comprehend the above distinction in exile in Huangquan, which was full of crises.

However, even if a spiritual person in the human world joins a shrine and deals with spirits all day long, he is still in a different situation from him-no matter how many spirits he encounters in the human world, it is only a drop in the ocean of Huangquan.

No matter how much luck is involved in living in the underworld and escaping from birth, he is now the most experienced person in the world when it comes to dealing with spirit bodies.

"Considering practicality, I will sort out from the present. The initial plan is to sort out the materials from now to five years ago.

Information that is too old has no practical significance, but I will try to read it all. "

Sugawara Kyoko came back to her senses and stared at his back for a while.

"Practical first."

"Yes."

"Mr. Soya, did you actually escape from the underworld?"

Soya paused and looked back at her.

"Yes."

Kyoko Sugawara is not the ignorant Akane Kirino. Faced with many hints from him intentionally or unintentionally, it is only natural to draw the correct conclusion.

"Are you still alive?"

"As you can see."

After taking out the materials for November of the second year of Reiwa, Soya put the folder aside and continued to organize the texts in his hand.

The thin paper, with a thickness of three or four centimeters, is enough to show that this month is not peaceful, and this is nothing compared to the monthly information he has already sorted out.

He also understands the reason: most of these spirit bodies that make trouble while passing by are heading for the capital where Izanami is.

"Kinki is really not a good place..."

"A slip of the tongue."

Soya raised his head, Kyoko Sugawara, who had been away for a long time, returned here at some point.

Just as he was about to say something, a short figure suddenly emerged from behind her.

"what are you doing?"

"work to earn a living."

Soya looked at the elementary school student lying on the desk, and then at Kyoko behind her, "What's the matter?"

"Today's business has ended, and the shrine will be closed."

"yes."

Living deep inside, he couldn't feel the passage of time outside. He glanced at his phone, only to realize that it was already seven o'clock in the evening.

He stood up, "I should go back."

Kyoko Sugawara looked at the stacks of information on the table, "I want to see it first."

"Look. It was originally organized for you people to see."

She sat where he was just now, and picked up the upside-down information.

"Don't mess up the order." Soya reminded, "After sorting, I arranged them by time."

"I see."

Jingzi glanced at the information, "This group has the largest number, are they Wraiths?"

"Ah, that's right. You remember it all."

"If you don't agree, there is no need for Soya-san to sort it out."

She turned a few pages, and suddenly saw a red note.

"'Yuanling Ling. The obsession is deeply rooted, expulsion is useless, or it can be killed.' Is this written by Soya?"

"Ah."

"Holding the spirit?"

"I chose the name myself, for the sake of understanding."

Zong Gu pointed, "I think this happened last month, so I just remind you. Even if this kind of resentful spirit is expelled, it will still come back here and entangle the client again."

"So it would be better to kill him?" Kyoko looked up at him.

"From the perspective of the client and the shrine, this is the best way." Soya showed no expression on his face, "That was originally a spirit body."

The spirit body means that life has passed away.

Kyoko was silent for a few seconds, "I believe Soya-san's judgment, but I can't approve it."

"Killing is an irreversible choice. Soya-san distinguishes between resentful spirits and evil spirits, and also recognizes the former's characteristic of not hurting people..."

She talked a lot, but Soya didn't say anything, and only picked up the schoolbag at the end.

"I should say goodbye."

Kyoko Sugawara stood up.

"Please wait."
