Journey to the heavens starting from Tokyo Ghost Story
Chapter 122 "Today, This Woman Called Nishina Rika"
Chapter 122 "Today, this woman named Rika Nishina..."
Nishina Rika paused slightly, then nodded.
Si Ye didn't look back, "It is said that if people cover their eyes with their hands and look at the world with their fingers, they will see some incredible things."
"...What do you mean?" Nishina Rika thought for a while.
Si Ye turned back, "Aren't you very puzzled?"
He gestured to the isometric mirror placed on the balcony.
Nishina Rika was taken aback for a moment, but immediately understood what he meant.
In the silence, under the gaze of Tera Ye, after a while Rika Nishina took a deep breath and came to the mirror.
He covered his eyes with his hands, adjusted his mentality, and opened them suddenly.
moment……
"Ah~"
The pupils contracted, and Rika Nishina took a step back in panic with a pale complexion, looking at the mirror in front of her in horror.
It was not herself who appeared in her place in the mirror.
But someone else.
At this moment, this person is posing like her.
But that gesture...
Nishina Rika was terrified, and retreated a few steps in confusion, and began to unblock memories one by one in her mind.
From entering the haunted house by myself, to encountering a series of strange events.
Then the hospital itself said some strange words inexplicably.
Then the body was manipulated, and the memory-shielded guy was used as a tool by the guy I had seen in the haunted house to kill one cursed person after another, pulling them into the other world, or taking them away as living people, in short Everything is presented in the mind.
Nishina Rika's face was pale, and her spirit was greatly shocked.
"Ye-jun...what the hell is going on?"
Her whole being, as if broken, sought comfort.
"Oh!" Si Ye sighed and caressed her face, "Did you find the diary in that attic?"
"journal?"
Nishina Rika was startled, and found the key words in the chaos of her mind.
It was the diary she found at Tokunaga's house when she was working that day.
I read it out of curiosity and subconsciously.
It is probably a diary of a woman, starting more than ten years ago.
It's full of bad handwriting.
Rika took a quick look.It's all about a woman's love for the man she likes, and every bit of it.
like……
"Today, Mr. Ye's hand touched mine in an instant. Mr. Ye's hand was warm, because of the characteristics of time and space, Mr. Ye did not notice it. However, just thinking of the warmth and contact of Mr. Ye's hand on that day was full of happiness. ..."
The text inside is strange, but the love hidden in the heart has aroused the sympathy of Rijia who has a gentle and weak personality.
Without any explanation, she continued to read.
I also met "Ye Jun", a tall young boy.
It may be a problem of the times, the boy's appearance is not real, but it gave Nishina Rika a feeling of indescribability, and it took her a long time to read it before she couldn't get enough, and she read it with a little regret.
There is also a photo of the heroine at the back, a photo of a girl with long hair who feels melancholy and shy, and she is wearing white clothes in every photo.
Rika Nishina turned the page and continued to look back.
Although the content is absurd, Rika Nishina continued weirdly because of Mr. Ye's photo as a background.
"Today, Mr. Ye ate curry rice, and so did I."
"Today, Lord Ye..."
"Nowadays……"
"..."
"...Today, when I got up from Ye-jun's side, I couldn't help feeling it when I saw Ye-jun's strong muscles and beautiful face. It's just... Damn, why can that woman Honjo Haruka be possessed? And I can only stand by and watch?”
"However, why am I so excited when I am obviously very angry, as if I like to see Mr. Ye being..."
...It's too perverted, this person is too perverted.
Rika Nishina, who was looking at the diary at the time, thought so.
That's right, she also liked a boy as crazily as Kayako, and in the end she was picked by others in the same way, but she would never do such a thing, not even thinking about it.
therefore……
Rijia closed the diary, she couldn't read other people's fantasies at will.
Although I really want to see what the ending is.
but……
Thinking of Grandma Xingzhi who she had to take care of downstairs, Rijia put the diary in place and prepared to leave.
But at the moment of letting go, Rijia suddenly changed her mind and turned to the last page of the diary to read.
For some reason, it seemed like it had to be done.
"Today, a college student named Rika Nishina came to my house..."
"what?"
Rika Nishina's muscles stiffened.
...Why, it says my name?
"... Rika Nishina's interests are totally different from mine. This woman likes to eat meat, but I don't. This woman likes black tea, but I like to drink coffee. This woman always wears brightly colored clothes, but I don't like it. I like white clothes. This woman only has lace and satin underwear, but I like to wear white cotton. This woman dyes her short hair in bright colors, but I think I am suitable for long hair that can express femininity. This Women love sports, but I hate it. This woman thinks everyone else in the world is good, but I don't think that's possible. That kind of thing is absolutely impossible... This woman is so different from me .Music, movies, hobbies, even the type of man I like, everything is different from my preferences, far from it."
"I want to kill Nishina Rika as before, but I saw Mr. Ye a few days ago, and I have a strong feeling that I will meet Mr. Ye today. I don't want to see Mr. Ye in such a posture, and this woman Although I hate it, her appearance, appearance, and figure are undeniably the best, if you enter her body, use her body to meet and contact Ye Jun..."
This……
Nishina Rika glanced at the date reflexively, it was today.
For a moment, my mind went blank, followed by violent trembling.
...why?...why?...why?...why?
The diary fell to the ground with a bang, and a strange figure appeared, as if she was standing next to Rijia who was reading the diary.
Unable to breathe smoothly, Rijia gasped for breath, while slowly backing away, and then, she walked down the stairs like a sleepwalking patient, and walked towards the entrance.
These memories have since been forgotten.
But at this moment, he was so awakened by Si Ye.
Everything in an instant appeared in Nishina Rika's mind.
Nishina Rika looked towards Tera Ye, and his appearance overlapped with the photo.
And myself...
Look into the mirror again.
The next moment, the self in the mirror seemed to come alive, and stared at him with vicious eyes, and then his figure twisted, and then Rika Nishina felt as if something was breaking free in his body.
Looking down, it was a pair of outstretched arms.
Horror swept through his body, and Rika Nishina fell to the ground, unable to move because of the so-called halo of fear.
Under her gaze, that finally took shape.
She lowered her head, her long hair draped over her shoulders, and she was dressed in white... Standing quietly with a gloomy aura...
"mom!"
At some point, Xiao Xiangye, who was painting in the room, ran out.
She threw herself into the arms of the woman and called "Mom" affectionately.
And the woman's bloodless palm gently stroked Xiao Xiangye.
Seeing this scene, Nishina Rika still doesn't understand what's going on?
"It turns out...she has been on me..."
Mumbling to himself, Nishina Rika's eyes were empty.
Si Ye glanced at her, sighed softly, and then came up to the woman.
The woman lowered her head, her eyes were on Xiao Xiangye's body, her complexion was pale.
And Xiao Xiangye embraced her with a happy expression on her face.
This scene instantly touched Si Ye's heart.
"Sorry……"
The woman shook her head slightly, without looking into Si Ye's eyes.
"Ugh!"
Si Ye also understood what Jiaye was worried about, so he couldn't help but raise his hand with a sigh, and caressed Shangjiaye's face.
"Thanks a lot!"
Kayako didn't speak as before, but just shook his head.
Si Ye felt uncomfortable, "Can you leave it to me next?"
What he said was extremely sincere, and he looked at Kayako without blinking.
Jiaye hugged Xiangye, under the gaze of Siye...
"Ok!"
An inaudible sound came out of Kayako's mouth, and Si Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief, and with a big wave of his hand, he took Kayako into his own domain world.
"Starting today, we will be together forever!"
In the small attic on the second floor, Si Ye stood in front of Kayako who was a head shorter than him, kissed his forehead lightly and said.
Since then, Neon's curse about herself has been completely eliminated.
Si Ye was alone.
Si Ye stayed in the domain world for a while and then left. After all, there was a Nishina Rika who was deeply hit outside.
The time in the domain world is different from that of the outside world.
Si Ye may have stayed in the domain world for a long time, but outside...
For Nishina Rika, it was just a moment.
Just as Si Ye left, he reappeared the next second.
Although the picture was startling.
But seeing again, Rika Nishina, who clearly wanted to leave the relationship and leave, sobbed impulsively and threw herself into Tera Ye's arms.
"Mr. Ye, woo woo woo~"
"It's alright, it's alright!"
Terae patted Nishina Rika on the back lightly.
Nishina Rika cried louder, and at the same time... a heart-pounding strange fragrance also flooded into her nostrils.
Nishina Rika's heart beat, and her fear disappeared a lot.
At this moment, she finally understood why Kayako was so persistent.
Even if he became a fierce spirit, he still couldn't resist Si Ye's caress, and he forgot all his surrender all at once.
This Nima...
Just by smelling the fragrance and experiencing the warmth of embracing each other, I have the thought of not wanting to leave forever.
What's more, the kind of Kayako who has children rather than have children!
At the same time, she also understood why Mariko could accept a man with a child, and why she was so enthusiastic about a man with a child.
This contact... is like a dimensionality reduction blow!
"Mr. Ye~"
"uncle……"
The atmosphere was ambiguous, when a voice broke Nishina Rika's embrace.
I saw a little girl lying at the door and asking cautiously.
The two were startled, and then quickly separated to adjust their makeup, but they didn't see the smugness flashing in the innocent little girl's eyes.
She pretended to be innocent and asked, "Where is the fragrant coconut?"
"Xiangye has gone to another wonderful world," Si Ye said with erratic eyes.
"Another wonderful world?" Mimiko opened her eyes wide, filled with anticipation, "Can I go?"
"Of course!"
Terai smiled.
Mimiko's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly came to look forward to it.
Tera Ye didn't hesitate, and directly pulled Mimiko into the domain.
As for whether this little guy will be deprived and suppressed because of his strength, he will not adapt and be lonely...
Si Ye is not worried at all, because Xiao Xiangye is still there.
And in addition to Xiao Xiangye, there is also Shinozaki Sachiko in it.
Three people of the same age, and the domain world, a world where everything can be achieved, exists, so I will never be lonely no matter how I think about it.
So Si Ye was very relieved and didn't worry about her making troubles inside.
and……
With their presence, Mimiko might not be able to do anything if she wanted to.
Afterwards, Teriyah also enlightened and appeased Nishina Rika, successfully freed Nishina Rika from the state of fear, and accepted the truth that she was possessed and killed many people during this period... Even though Nishina Rika blamed herself very much.
Fortunately, Mariko's best friend is still there, and someone comforts her.
that's it……
Si Ye's most worrying and irritating things were resolved.
At the same time, his strength has also been sublimated to a new level.
After all, three of the four Neon female ghosts have been obtained, and the remaining one will become a part of Si Ye after completing the task, so why should Si Ye worry?
Because of this, the days that followed were more comfortable.
It's almost three o'clock.
Of course, Si Ye spends most of his time in the domain world.
As for the company...it's just for killing boredom in life.
In addition, Si Ye did not forget his original dream, to turn the domain world into a real world, adding more power and aborigines there.
Whenever he was free, or someone came to look for them, Si Ye agreed without hesitation to help them solve their problems and...solve themselves.
Like Tera Ye first saw Morita Kanar taking his temperature in the hospital!
This woman felt very familiar at the beginning, but I didn't expect that she was the heroine of the Quanming Village I had seen before. She was cursed by the whole village and had a miserable ending in the play. But at this time, with the help of Si Ye, she relaxed Loose will be solved.
And Niu Shou Village...
The curse of the entire village may be a fear that others dare not touch, but it is food for Si Ye.
With the blessing of these things, he is now almost invincible in the world.
but……
Until now, the news of Aunt Hong still hasn't come.
And Fu Jiang didn't get back, and the other Fu Jiangs seemed to disappear in the neon, and there were almost no reports about this, which made Si Ye frown.
Entering the domain as usual, Si Ye came to the center of the town amidst waves of yearning glances and greetings.
At this time, the town is no longer as impoverished as before.
All facilities are full.
Tera Ye turned around and found his target in a garden, Yoshie Shinozaki who was pulled in from Tenjin Elementary School.
The woman was sitting on a bench in a floral dress, smiling like a spring breeze, watching the girls chasing each other in the garden under the light.
From time to time, he opened his mouth to tell Sachiko and Mimiko to be careful.
(End of this chapter)
Nishina Rika paused slightly, then nodded.
Si Ye didn't look back, "It is said that if people cover their eyes with their hands and look at the world with their fingers, they will see some incredible things."
