I'm a ghost story witch in Tokyo

Chapter 42 42. Reincarnation
"Unless you can become a great witch certified by the National Witch Association."

Yue opened a can of Kirin beer and drank it with the evening mountain breeze.Beer is bought at Yoshinoya, and it only costs 250 yen a can, which is cheaper than convenience stores in downtown Tokyo.

She seemed to be eating and drinking all the time, as if she would be dead if she didn't.

During the break, the two talked about invisibility magic.

"In order to reduce the crime rate of witches, from the middle of the 18th century, the United Kingdom announced that non-certified witches were prohibited from practicing stealth magic, because this magic would lead to a large number of unsolved cases, and some prominent witches were assassinated unconsciously. Afterwards, this initiative quickly affected the world, and now every country prohibits unofficial association certification, and witches whose status is below the great witch to learn this spell."

It is very difficult to obtain the certification of the association, and many witches can hardly achieve that status in their entire lives.

If the big witches use such despicable spells to commit crimes, they can quickly find out the identity of the perpetrator, because there are too few people who have mastered it, and the police witches can easily lock the search area.

"Also, the invisibility potion is also a prohibited item. The materials used to make it must be registered and its purpose must be clarified, even if the purpose of buying it is only to make other potions. Your idea is very good, but unfortunately, with only two A high school witch can't do it."

"Been taught a lesson."

Rui Ji showed a clear expression.

I thought I could take a shortcut, but I didn't expect that there might be a path of crime behind the shortcut.This can also explain why Mrs. Yoshino made them go to great lengths to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, and then find a way to bypass the patrolling witch and come to the shrine.

There are no shortcuts to some things, and it can only be done with a little effort.

"You have been observing for so long, have you found any place that can be used as a breakthrough tomorrow night?"

The moon points to the brightly lit shrine below.

The people on the floating platform are still repeating the same dance again and again, making the final rehearsal for tomorrow's goddess sacrifice.Not every part of the huge shrine is impenetrable, and it is easier to look down from a high place to see the overall situation and find weak defensive positions.

"How about the dance hall?"

A building in the lower left corner caught Rui Ji's attention.

The dance hall is a place in the shrine to enshrine dance and music to the gods. The singing and dancing performances of the goddess festival are not performed in the shrine, but are performed on the floating platform and the altar in the square in front of the town. The slightly narrow dance hall is vacant.

The top of Mount Akabane can't accommodate too many people watching the dance of the Goddess Festival at the same time, so the dance hall is useless and has become a warehouse of sundries.

"There don't seem to be any witches patrolling over there. It's the weakest place to defend. There's also a maple tree next to it, which is not only convenient for climbing, but also blocks the body. It's an excellent hidden intrusion point."

"I also agree with your idea."

Yue unfolded the map, put a red mark behind the dance hall of the shrine, and discussed the route with Rui Ji at the top of the mountain.Invading from the most remote dance hall, you need to bypass the mountain goddess monument, gardens, martial arts hall and a dense maple forest.

The ceremony began at eight o'clock in the evening, and they only had to invade the room where the painted coffins were parked in the main hall before eight o'clock, and take away the target person trapped inside—Yonara Chiyo, who had actually turned into a ghost story.

Such behavior is not meaningless, Rui Ji knew from the very beginning that they had to do this.

Liberating the poor girl from the coffin and letting her go where she should go is equivalent to a salvation, although it is not a formal ceremony, the witch and witch put on a full set of uniforms, dance and chant scriptures.

After sorting out all the clues, Rui Ji made a bold guess by combining the method of deciphering regional ghost stories and Mrs. Yoshino's reminder.

All the content forms a perfect closed loop in the mind, and the last piece of the puzzle is collected, and they are arranged and combined to finally present a coherent picture.

"I may have a clue about the [specific rules] of this weird talk."

"Appreciate further details."

Yue stared at the shrine below, illuminated by warm lights, like a burning maple forest, waiting for her story.

Rui Ji collected her thoughts, sat cross-legged, and put her hands on her knees.

"I think of a sentence Mrs. Yoshino said. She said, 'What Lianshi didn't do is not because she can't do it, but because she has long been lost in the wave of absolute self and lost her qualifications as a human being and a witch. .’ What Lianshi didn’t do was also mentioned in her diary.”

One of the diaries, the date of recording is August 8th in the real world, and the time in the ghost story is November.Lian didn't figure out the time difference between the two places, so I recorded it according to the actual time progress,

"Hisaka Reishi helped the townspeople do a crazy thing, and then wrote down her regret in the diary, and became an accomplice in a daze, making Yonaling a sacrifice for the goddess. She is different from us, not Knowing about the strange talk that once happened in Asahina Town, I can't find a way to solve it.

In other words, the [Specific Rules] is Yonamine Chiyo herself, as long as she is guaranteed not to fall into the hands of the townspeople in this [Reincarnation], we can leave this ghost place. "

"Wait, what is reincarnation?"

A new term popped up suddenly, Yue needed a little time to understand and digest it, and had to temporarily interrupt Rui Ji's narration.The appearance of unfamiliar words can easily affect her understanding of the whole thing, and she must ask for an explanation before the other party can continue.

This also caused her to have conflicts with many people. Not everyone is happy to be interrupted many times and patiently explain every question the other party has.

"Reincarnation, that's a saying derived from ghost story witches who study regional ghost stories."

Yue just asked the point, and this part of the content was firmly engraved in Rui Ji's mind, recalling them is as easy as opening an unlocked drawer and taking out the contents.

"For some reason, an entire area is turned into a ghost story, which becomes extremely dangerous in the real world, and the event that connects the narrow entrance is called [regional ghost story], and the area that becomes a ghost story becomes a ghost story. There are regional ghost stories. Is it understandable?"

"Yes, please continue."

"In the regional ghost story, the things that lead to the transformation of the regional ghost story will be repeated for a period of time. The number we see is the length of that period of time. The total length is 72 hours, which is three days."

"Well, I understand that."

"Back then, in 1993, the innocent Yonaling was targeted by the townspeople of Asahina Town, who hadn't turned into ghost stories yet. The goddess festival was coming, and the townspeople couldn't find a suitable sacrifice, so they killed the girl. The hot spring hotel Yuyu Zhishui's boss tried to help her at the time, but was persecuted by the townspeople and had to flee, so Yonaling died in the end.

In the end, the dead Yonaling combined with the grievances of all the girls in this area who died in the goddess sacrifice and could not be saved, became a strange story. "
