I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 14 14. Asahina

After going forward in a strange environment for a long time, maybe only half an hour has passed, maybe a few hours have passed, Rui Ji's watch is always the same as it was at the beginning, the pointer keeps spinning, and the mobile phone can't read the correct time.

The wild grass behind has the ability to regenerate, whether it is destroyed by a sword or a spell, it will quickly return to its original shape, and it is completely impossible to mark the way it came.

This doesn't bother Rui Ji at all, after all, she is one of the races standing at the top of the pyramid in this world.

Every witch will learn to refine [marked potion] in the first stage of potion class.Marking potion, according to the literal meaning, is a potion used for marking. If you sprinkle it where you walk, the potion will automatically penetrate and leave traces that can last for a long time.

There are countless ways to mark potions. Different materials are used according to the needs of the refiner, and the dosage can be adjusted at will, so other witches may not be able to recognize it.

The higher the refining difficulty, the better the effect.

Potions is an independent subject, and there is also a professional qualification certificate for potions. It is recognized by the International Witch Association.

Rui Ji also plans to apply for the exam, and there are many professional books and learning materials for potion masters at home.The entry-level registered potion master can only take the test at the age of 18, and she just met the age requirement this year.

There were a lot of miscellaneous things in the backpack, and there happened to be a bottle of light blue liquid with a capacity of 200cc and a label of "marking potion".After dripping, it can produce a magical reaction with the magic power in the refiner's body and emit a blue shimmer to achieve the purpose of marking.

Marked potions are also applicable in regional ghost stories. Although the cost of refining is relatively high, it is insignificant in the face of life safety.Rui Ji first recalled how to use it, and then dripped it in the wild grass.

The light blue light is looming in the gaps in the weeds. The clear and light color is hazy and psychedelic. It cooperates with the strong light of the flashlight to weaken the terrifying atmosphere a bit.

In order to further strengthen her courage, Rui Ji turned on the music player app on her mobile phone, and chose a very imposing song as the clarion call to march towards the area near Kisaragi Station.

She plugged the plug of the headphone cable into the headphone jack, put on the earplugs, and the song had a short intro, followed by the finishing line.

"The Golden age will return again—"

The powerful singing voice echoed in the online-controlled earphones.In the time of extreme silence, a boat song that breaks the silence is needed, and the witch in the golden age must not succumb to the strange talk.

After listening to a whole piece of music, the heartbeat returned to normal, and the action continued.

Through the wild grassland, Rui Ji came to the town she saw from the platform of Kisaragi Station.There was a battered wooden sign at the entrance of the town, with "Asahina" written in red paint.

Another place not on the map.

Houses in towns are densely built, and some houses have lights in their windows.There were no pedestrians on the road, even if there were, Rui Ji couldn't be sure that they were real people.

Knocking on the door and entering the house rashly will only cause trouble, and no one knows what is going on behind the door.

Stepping on the solid concrete road with both feet, the cool wind blowing in from a distance came in through the gaps in the coat, Rui Ji felt chilly again, and couldn't help shivering a few times.

The duration of level 1 constant temperature magic is not long, and each time is only half an hour, so it has to be used repeatedly.In addition to the level, the effect of magic is also related to the magic power of the witch. The greater the magic power, the higher the level of the witch.

Ordinary witches and great witches use the same magic, such as fireball. Ordinary witches can set a small block on fire, while great witches can set a single block of Ginza in flames.

Re-cast the constant temperature magic again, so that the body will not be made more and more stiff by the evil cold wind.If you don't pay attention to your body temperature at all times, it will be too late to remedy when your body can't move.

Rui Ji prefers to plan ahead and take precautions in advance.

Walking along the slightly narrow town road, there are wooden houses with ancient and simple designs on both sides.Kisaragi Station is built on the ground of Tokyo, not on the floating island, and Asahina Town is also part of the ground.

Japan is in the area affected by the earthquake zone, and earthquakes often occur in the territory. The materials of houses are often made of light and strong wood.The wooden structure houses preserve the heritage of traditional architecture, revealing a sense of massiness and solemnity, which is incomparable to the reinforced concrete forest.

In regional ghost stories, the more quaint the house, the more eerie and terrifying, it is no different from a haunted house.As long as the house takes up the two elements of oldness and spaciousness, the horror atmosphere will be filled directly.

Brown wooden walls, black roofs, traditional double-open wooden wide windows, monotonous and repetitive building colors, and the arrangement structure is very similar to European and American townhouses.

The two-storey small buildings are close to each other, there are almost no gaps between the walls, and it is even difficult to find a narrow passage that can accommodate one person.There is a stone road between the houses on both sides, with a width of only 3 meters. It is absolutely inconvenient to drive in and turn around, and you have to be careful of bumps at all times.

There is a flagpole 5-6 meters high in the courtyard of some houses, and there are even higher ones, on which several carp-shaped flags are hung.Carp streamers are common decorations in Japan. The Japanese believe in divine things. Carp just fits their vision. It not only symbolizes the hope of a child, but also plays a role in attracting wealth.

The flags hanging high were fluttering in the night wind, and the round eyes seemed to be turning in their sockets.

"..."

Rui Ji took a closer look and found that it was not his own illusion.Carp Banner's eyeballs rolled, shedding blood and tears, staring at her who had just passed by.

The carp streamer with moving eyes was a trifle, and it couldn't scare her anymore.

The scariest thing is yet to come, the one just now is at most an appetizer.Another family also hung four carp banners, and on the top carp banner was a person "riding" who looked like a teenager.

Only when he got closer, Rui Ji saw it clearly.

With the weight of a person, she couldn't ride on the flag and floated. When she walked to the side, she found that the boy was flat.The human skin without flesh and bones is thinner than a banner, and it looks like a boy riding a carp banner from a distance.

No one knew why his skin was sewn together with the carp banner, the picture was too frightening, and the stench of blood wafted from the sky, Rui Ji knew that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he left quickly.

The eyes of the "boy" rolled along with the carp banner, staring at the new uninvited guest in Asahina, grinning at the corners of his mouth, showing a weird smile, and beckoning to her.

Rui Ji didn't look back, otherwise he might be frightened into cardiac arrest.

The further you go into the town, the more carp streamers "riding" on human skin, the picture cannot be described in words.Thanks to her courage, apart from her heart throbbing and her scalp numb, her feet can still walk.

When passing a wooden bridge, there was suddenly another person's footsteps behind him.
