I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 18 18. Information Exchange
The content of the narration is very detailed, and Yue seems to be a witness to that incident.She doesn't look very old, basically the same age as Rui Ji. The incident happened in 1993, 30 years ago, and she has not been born yet.

But the Witch's intelligence network is astoundingly powerful, any rare information may be unearthed by them, and it is reasonable to know the content of some strange stories.

The ghost story of Kisaragi Station has been widely circulated in Japan, not only in the Kanto region, but also in Kansai, Kyushu and Shikoku. It is one of the most famous ghost stories worthy of the name.

Judging Yue's story like this is too arbitrary, and interrupting the narration is also impolite.Rui Ji decided to listen quietly to the end, and then ask the accumulated questions in her heart one by one.

She tore open a second bar of bitter dark chocolate, letting the taste of cocoa butter melt in her mouth and keep her mind clear.Seeing this, Yue also stopped and drank some of the mineral water he brought to moisten his dry throat, and then continued to narrate.

"The Japanese Metropolitan Police Department at that time, ahem... You know, the ability and enthusiasm of the police and witches to handle cases is very subtle. If it is not a particularly serious case, they will wait a few days before dispatching.

The girl’s disappearance was not taken seriously. Even though Yonaling’s mothers reported their daughter’s disappearance that night, the inspection minister who was in charge of receiving them at the time thought that the girl was playing for fun or staying at a friend’s house in Tokyo. will go home. "

"Indeed, that's why law and order were so bad back then."

Rae Ji feels sorry for the main character in the story.If the inspection minister had paid more attention, it would not have turned into a large regional strange story.You can guess with your toes that a witch who is alone in the middle of the night will encounter danger in an unfamiliar place.

There is another decisive factor in encountering danger, and it is also the main reason why Japanese police witches do not pay attention.

"Yonara is a weak witch, right? Or the kind born from the mixed blood of ordinary people and witches."

"Yes."

Light opened the cylinder of the Webley revolver, took out a square metal box from his backpack, and took out two sets of bullets.Bullets come in groups of six, just enough to fill a gun.

She has two, and the bullets were all worn out in the small-scale battle just now, so it is most appropriate to replenish them at this opportunity.During the battle, you need to keep running. It is very difficult to stop and find a safe corner to load ammunition. A little negligence can put you in danger.

"Yonara Chiyo is the offspring of the combination of a weak witch and an ordinary human first, and then a weak witch. The imprint of a non-pure blood witch and a weak witch has been branded on her, and she has to bear the prejudice of many people. To this day However, the prejudice against non-pure-blooded witches in the witch world has not improved much, no matter how good they are, job hunting will be frustrated repeatedly, and it is difficult to enjoy the most common benefits of pure-blooded witches."

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the voice was like that of a girl hiding in the field who was secretly sad, with intermittent whimpers from her mouth.Yue's expression was slightly moved, and she looked extraordinarily sad under the red moonlight.

"Until the seventh day of Yonaling's disappearance, the Wakayama Prefectural Police Headquarters dispatched personnel to the site of the incident to carry out a large-scale search. Because the case took so long, it rained heavily in Nara Prefecture at that time for several days. All the evidence They were all cleaned up. The investigation lasted for more than a year, and no one was alive or dead, so the case became an unsolved case.

I happened to have seen the photos published in the "Asahi Shimbun" in 2003, and did some research on various urban ghost stories before I knew that guy was a ghost story.That's all I know, Miss Sakuma, do you have any clues? "

Yue handed over the right to speak to Rui Ji who had been nibbling chocolate by the side.

One-sided narration does not count as a complete exchange of information, and she has to give some clues to return to the other party.The content of the case cannot provide more, obviously Yue knows better than her.

If it is the Sakuma family's method of deciphering regional ghost stories, it should be of value in exchange.In order to survive, leaving Asahina and Kisaragi stations, Rui Ji did not intend to hide.

"My mother had a lot of experience in deciphering regional ghost stories in the early years, and I followed suit. Each regional ghost story has [specific rules], and entrants need to find a way to crack the rules within a period of time, so that ghost stories take the initiative Letting people go is equivalent to a kind of... a puzzle game?"

Such a unique cracking method is considered rare in the world of witches.

The normal witch's approach is to use force to tear a crack back to reality in the ghost story world, and leave before the crack closes, or use force to make the main ghost story in this area seriously injured and fall into a deep sleep, and wait for the exit to leave to appear automatically.

This is the first time Yue has heard of the solution through layers of precise reasoning and playing mental tactics with Guai Tan.

Witches are a race that strongly advocates force. There are two or three things that cannot be solved by magic. They believe that there is nothing that cannot be conquered by magic.

A witch who likes to decipher the hidden rules of ghost stories is rarer than the probability of two weak witches combining to give birth to a big witch.

"So, how do we find the underlying laws?"

Light slipped the last silver rosette bullet into the brass cylinder, putting it back in place.The color of the revolver stained with bloody moonlight is both simple and coquettish, but it also brings a strong sense of peace of mind.

Rui Ji habitually touched the pattern of the scabbard in his hand.She used to have the habit of touching the bamboo sword, but now she can't change it with a real Tai sword.

The stroking action brings her benign psychological hints, such as calming down the mood.

"There is very little information left by my mother. It only mentions that not every inch of land in the regional ghost story is dangerous. First, find a safe area to set up camp. First, use detection magic to create a sphere and throw it in. That sphere is equivalent to the witch's clone. If the color of the ball does not turn black, that area is not harmful to the witch, otherwise it is harmful. The rest, Guitan will tell us."

Going around, they had to go back to the place where there were buildings in Asahina Town.Since they won't be able to return to the real world for a while, and the magic power of the two of them is not enough to tear a hole in the ghost story, and they haven't even found the main ghost story, the most stable strategy is to go through the flow of cracking.

The square in front of the town is very close to the connected houses, the light from the window, and the shadow passing by the window, in Rui Ji's eyes, it looks extremely strange and suspicious.

It is impossible to stay overnight.It is definitely not a person who opens the door, but an indescribable inhuman thing.

Yue's eyes fixed on the houses scattered in the far corners of Asahina Town, away from the cluster.There were no lights in the house, and no dreadful carp banners hung in the courtyard.

"Would you like to try the house over there?"

She pointed to one of the small buildings with a courtyard.The small building is facing the shrine on the mountain. It is built on a slope. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is an excellent camping place.
