I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 12 12. Kisaragi Station
"hiss--"

Rui Ji's scalp was numb, as if something invisible was touching the top of his head.

"What's going on tonight? There are so few people."

Is there something wrong with her or the subway station?Shouldn't night be the busiest time for subway stations?

A series of questions filled her mind, and before she could start thinking, the door of the tram was completely closed, and a slightly cold, ethereal young male voice came out from the radio.

"The tram you are taking to... is about to start moving, please sit still and support yourself."

The male voice narrated about the location of the site and suddenly got stuck, and Rui Ji couldn't hear what the word was.There are vague and indistinct ravings mixed in, and those ravings are fleeting, as if they never appeared.

The roar of machinery and the friction of trams piercing through the night wind completely overwhelmed the slight noise.The temperature inside the carriage is lower than that of the platform, almost comparable to that of an ice cellar.

The airtight carriage completely sealed the cold air and the passengers inside, and Rui Ji couldn't help but miss the stuffy courtyard room at home, and the tatami mat covered in sweat within a few minutes of lying on it.

As early as the Heian period, witches had already developed spells that could change body temperature in order to adapt to various temperature environments. This spell was called [Constant Temperature Spell].

It is a simple and practical auxiliary spell,

Rui Ji quickly constructed the operation formula in his mind, the warmth flowed in the blood vessels, the temperature of the blood rose to a stable value under the infiltration of magic power, and quickly drove away the chill that had penetrated into the body.

After her stiff body became warm under the flow of magic power, she left the cold rectangular metal car seat and walked to other compartments.There is no one in the section where I am, maybe there are people in other compartments?

Being alone in an unfamiliar confined space can make everyone feel flustered.

Even though the tram station does not restrict witches to carry weapons, and the very safe sword is still in hand, the abnormal atmosphere makes Ruiji not dare to relax.People tend to become nervous when they are nervous, and she is on the verge of being suspicious at the moment.

The ghost talk that appeared in the courtyard, the story about the night of the crimson moon, the izakaya chef I met on the road, and the station where the passengers suddenly disappeared... One by one, they flashed before my eyes like a slide show .

The hand holding the knife was tightened to the limit, the cold and hard metal rubbed against the rough pattern and the delicate white palm, and the knuckles were whitened by the increasing force.

Rui Ji stepped over the slightly shaking carriage junction and came to the adjacent carriage.Then came the third section, and the fourth section. She went all the way to the end, and there was no other passenger on the whole tram.

"Not good."

She looked down at the watch. The brass-colored hands seemed to be affected by an abnormal magnetic field, which completely violated the normal walking pattern. Sometimes they rushed forward, and sometimes they retreated wildly. It was impossible to tell the current time.

Turning on the phone, I found that the time on the lock screen has also become incomprehensible garbled characters, which never exist in the real world.Misfortunes never come singly, the time appears garbled, and the position of the signal in the upper left corner becomes "outside the circle", Ruiji's connection with the outside world is completely cut off.

Outside the car window is the boundless night, and the scenery on both sides can not be seen clearly in the speeding train, all are blurred black shadows.The blood-colored moonlight penetrated the glass, leaving a large area of ​​bright scarlet on the floor of the carriage, its shape was like a neatly cut geometry.

Rui Ji stared at the red geometry and found that it could move.

The squirming colors extended some moving tentacles, and the tentacles rushed towards her shadow, almost strangling the shadow's throat.The monster level of killing the main body by attacking the shadow is not high, and it is a little difficult to deal with, as long as the shadow is not touched, it is not a big problem.

First dodge the entanglement of the tentacles, then draw the knife and slash.A string of golden incantations lit up on the blade infused with magic power. It is no longer an ordinary Taidao, but has the ability to fight monsters.

The body's muscle memory was awakened in a critical moment, and a series of actions were almost subconsciously made.

It looks like Raj is slashing her weapon at the void, and her reflection does the same.The only thing that can hurt the shadow monster is his own reflection, and the only thing the body can do is to make the shadow move.

"Go away—"

The Taidao stabbed fiercely downwards and cut to both sides. The tentacles in the reflection were cut into several sections by the Taidao, and the flame magic attached to the blade burned them into countless flying ashes.

The lowest-level E-level ghost talk is effortless to deal with.

In the following time, Rui Ji encountered some strange stories of the same type.If you master the correct method, no matter how much it comes, you can clean it away.When the train entered the tunnel, the red moonlight was blocked by rocks and concrete, and the shadows disappeared without a trace.

At the end of the tunnel is a station built near the small town. Standing in front of the window and overlooking, there are scattered buildings in front of it, and there are quite a few of them.Lights can be seen in buildings, and where there are lights, it means that there are people.

Rui Ji didn't want to stay on this tram for a second, wishing he could get off immediately, and then find a way to contact Jingliu.

The creepy and cold male voice came out again on the radio.

"Dear passengers, the next stop is.... Please prepare to get off the train and wait for the train to stop. The next stop is..."

The name of the station was still murmured indistinctly, and the train slowed down and stopped beside a crude platform.The car door opened, Rui Ji got out of the car with his good things, and took a breath of fresh outdoor air first.

The air in the compartment is always filled with a fishy sweetness that seems to be absent, and the atmosphere is indescribable. Everything that happened above cannot be explained by common sense.

Not only were there no passengers, but even the conductor and conductor at the front of the train did not respond to her call.The door of the cab cannot be opened from the outside, and the glass on the door is also made of one-way glass, so it is impossible to see what is inside from the outside.

The only passenger got off, and the tram didn't even have the patience to stop for a while, and drove into the night in front of Rui Ji, continuing along the track.Continuing to take a ride is certainly a viable option, but she worries that if she continues to take a ride, something will happen to her and she will get lost at the end of the night.

There are not a hundred or dozens of urban ghost stories about trams in Japan, and the most famous one is "the endless tram".People who get on the tram can never leave the tram, they can only drive forever between the current world and the gap between them, neither will die nor return to the original world.

Endless torture, more painful than death.

Watching the tram completely disappear into the dim horizon, Rui Ji thought of turning around and looking at the stop sign first.Only by figuring out what this place is can we find our way home.

The stop sign behind it is very old, and the light tube inside has not been turned on. The white stop sign is covered with a thin layer of dust and cobwebs, and it looks like no one has cleaned it for a long time.

On the front is the name of the station - Kisaragi Station.
