I, Den-O, Contract Urban Legend

With that said, Sadako ran out of his room without giving Inoue Ueya a chance to ask questions.

"...The reaction has no meaning. Could it be that Mr. Inoue did something strange again unintentionally?"

After thinking about it for a while, although Inoue Ueya didn't remember what happened just now, he recalled what happened yesterday, and his face gradually became serious.

Some of the memories of the people who went out with him yesterday seemed to be affected by unknown factors. For some unknown reason, except for himself, Hanako and the others all lost the memory of their contact with Naya...

When he first walked out of the convenience store, Inoue Ueya heard Natsukawa Hanako asking about Naya, and he thought Hanako was joking.

Unexpectedly, when they returned home, they received calls from Megumi Kato and Yukinoshita Yukino, which finally made Inoue Ueya aware that something was wrong.

They seemed to vaguely feel that their memories had an indescribable sense of inconsistency. They clearly remembered that in addition to Inoue Ueya and Hanako, they had also let "High Speed ​​Granny" board the Zero-Liner, but no matter what they thought, I can't recall the name and appearance described by Inoue Ueya.

Instead, what appeared in their minds was a monster that looked like an old woman.

From this point of view, the answer is obvious and easy to see. Naya, or "High Speed ​​Granny", her condition is a bit abnormal.

Inoue Ueya sighed, completely confused about the current situation. Naya seemed to have an unknown secret.

"So can I regard this situation as the reason why her true identity has not been discovered?"

The legend of "High Speed ​​Granny" didn't just appear in recent years. Maybe she deliberately used this ability to hide her true identity?

No, Inoue Ueya recalled that when he mentioned Naya's name yesterday, he did see a wry smile on her face, so this statement is not valid.

"But why wasn't I affected..."

Although the identity of the singularity is not affected by the distortion of time and space to a certain extent, if it directly affects the memory ability or drugs, it will still be effective on him.

What is certain is that this time is not an event related to time and space, and it stands to reason that Inoue Ueya would also be affected.

Well, putting aside his identity as a singularity, if Inoue Ueya possesses other items that can block this type of ability, then it should only be the Book of Shadows attached to his body, right?

No matter what, now that I have the answer that "High Speed ​​Granny" is not an evil monster, the club's activities are probably coming to an end. If there is still a chance to meet Naya, then I will ask her about her condition.

After all, the contents of their affected memories are not particularly important, right?

"...Are you kidding? How can something like memory be unimportant?"

Inoue Ueya scratched his head, a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and then stood up from the bed, preparing to wash up.

…

To be honest, Inoue Ueya also had a lot of things to do today.

"First of all, the handle of the "Demon King's Mallet" that I got. I made an appointment with Hanakain Yura before. She will take the time to come over today to see if there is a way to completely destroy that damn thing. And then... "

Inoue Ueya, who had just come out of the bathroom, happened to meet Kotoko Iwanaga who was about to go out.

"Good morning, Ueya-kun."

Inoue Ueye nodded, and then responded: "Good morning, Qinzi, are you going out to carry out a commission again?"

Although I have said this several times before, it seems that Kotoko Iwanaga's workload has not improved much...

"Well, because the skeleton demon said he wanted to go to Kyoto, so I had to leave early."

The Skeleton Monster is a huge bone monster, and Inoue Ueya is no stranger to it. It is the monster that helps Iwanaga Kotoko quickly reach various areas to carry out her commissions. However, I heard that it has recently suffered from osteoporosis, and she has not been doing much recently. Just see it.

"What, just say no to me for this kind of thing. Let Mr. Inoue take you there by train."

But that old bone actually went to Kyoto at this time. Could it be that he was looking for the Hagoromo Fox...

Ding dong!

Hearing the doorbell ringing, Inoue Ueya couldn't help but frown. He looked at the clock in the living room and wondered whether Hanakaiin Yura didn't arrive so early.

No matter what, facing the constant ringing of the doorbell, Inoue Ueya asked Iwanaga Kotoko to wait in the living room for a while, and then walked to the entrance alone to open the door.

Chapter 174 What exactly do you want to say?

When he opened the door, he saw two familiar faces.

Didn't the two raccoon monsters from Shikoku, the Hidden God Sentoku Tanuki and his son Tamaki, go back after the previous duel with the Nura-gumi?

These are not the important points. The question is why does the jade seal appear in the appearance of the beautiful girl idol in the previous video?

Could it be that that guy has been an idol for a long time and has become obsessed with women's clothing?

"hiss……"

Inoue Ueya took a deep breath and subconsciously took two steps back.

"Yu Zi...ah, I recognize you. You are the agent, right?" After seeing Ueya Inoue opening the door, a surprise flashed across Yu Zhang's face.

"My men and I got into a bit of a - uh, bad situation, and we need the help of the God of Wisdom. Do you know where she is?"

Seeing this, Inoue Ueya couldn't help but sigh, why have you been encountering such uninvited troubles lately?

"Anyway, let's talk about it in the house first."

…

Inoue Ueya also brought the two people to the living room, and then asked Iwanaga Kotoko to deal with them.

But when Kotoko Iwanaga saw Tamaki, she went completely berserk and shouted: "It's too much! You already have me, why do you bring other girls home, Ueya-kun?"

The two civet cat monsters who just walked in fell silent for an instant. For some reason, they seemed to have heard something terrible. Will they be silenced by Yu Kami later?

"No, I'm Tamaki, the leader of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Ghost Night Walk who had a duel with Nura Rikuo before. Could it be that you have forgotten it, Lord Kami!"

After all, "Tama Azusa" is also the leader of the Shikoku Eighty-eight Ghost Night Tour, "she" decided to change the topic to prevent them from reacting.

"Yu Zhang? Weren't you taken back to the Four Kingdoms?"

Iwanaga Kotoko asked questions while looking up and down Tamaki's figure with strange eyes.

Gee, this figure is so good...

That tanuki monster turned Slicker into a girl in the previous duel, but now he actually turned himself into a girl?

As she thought about it, a trace of resentment flashed in Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes, "I'm obviously a high school student, why do I still have such a figure?"

No, this is not her problem. It is indeed the influence of becoming the God of Wisdom when she was a child. This is definitely the case!

Think about it carefully, those monsters actually asked her, a little girl, to be their god. Is there something wrong with their heads?

Besides, the two tanukis in front of me really came at the wrong time. It was a rare opportunity to spend some time alone with Ueya-kun today, so why were they suddenly messed up...

After a long silence, Iwanaga Kotoko gradually exuded a mysterious resentment.

"Um... Lord God, what's wrong with you?"

"Yama Zhang" noticed Iwanaga Kotoko's strange gaze, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"If you have something to tell me, what happened again this time?" Kotoko Iwanaga said expressionlessly.

Yuzhang smiled bitterly and began to explain the reason for their visit.

"To be honest, not long ago, I formed a beautiful girl idol group with the leaders of Shikoku Eighty-eight Ghost Nightwalkers."

Just as Inoue Ueya guessed, the video he saw on his cell phone was indeed the work of Tamaki and the others, although they were beautiful girls disguised with their abilities.

After being brought back by the Hidden God Punishment Club, Yuzhang continued to use this method to enhance his own strength. Although the cadres who had tasted the benefits were still a little resistant to the matter of women's clothing, they finally bowed their heads and succumbed to the huge profits. .

"As a result, the idol group "Shikoku Eighty-eight Ghost Night Parade" became more and more popular..."

Until one day, Yuzhang and the cadres discovered that their bodies had unknowingly undergone terrible changes.

"Obviously the transformation spell has been lifted, but the body has not changed back. It still maintains a female posture, as if this is our original appearance..."

"Hiss, isn't this spell too scary?"

Inoue Zhi also took a breath of cold air. He never thought that a mere transformation spell would have such bad side effects.

"So? We don't have anyone who can help you solve the spell problem?" Kotoko Iwanaga sighed.

Yuzhang shook his head and responded: "Actually, my father and I have discussed the reasons for this situation privately, and we came to the conclusion that this physical change is not due to magic, but to being idolized. The group, or the changes that result from absorbing the "fear" given to us by the fans..."

Although most monsters and monsters have physical bodies, their strength relies on "fear" to increase their strength.

"The so-called "fear" is generally defined as the awe or fear of a certain existence. The more "fear" monsters and weirdos can get among other creatures, the stronger they will be, because in other people's minds Their strong image will enhance their strength accordingly. "

Of course, "fear" is not the only way for monsters and monsters to improve their strength. They can still become stronger by practicing various practices and breaking through their own limits. It's just that it is simple and straightforward to obtain "fear". .

"To put it bluntly, the essence of "fear" is still inseparable from other people's "impression" of monsters and monsters themselves. Famous monsters are born with powerful strength. This is the untouchable gap between nameless monsters. Unless you find a way to transcend "fear" The method of restriction…”

Hearing the familiar words, Inoue Ueya frowned and subconsciously asked: "What do you mean? What do you want to say?"

Yuzhang sighed, and then shook his head with a wry smile, "The "fear" from idol groups comes from our state under the influence of transformation spells after all. There seems to be some kind of "fear" that we usually get from using our own image. The difference seems to have deteriorated, and the purity of the "fear" seems to be not as high as usual, mixed with all kinds of strange emotions. I guess this is the real reason why our original image has been affected... "

Although the strength of the people in the four countries has improved by leaps and bounds recently, the price they paid is too heavy. However, the two female members of the idol group, Ye Que and Crochet Girl, said that this matter is nothing, and this influence seems to have no effect on them.

"Damn it, which bastard suggested that we all disguise ourselves as beautiful girls to be idols!" Yu Zhang said angrily.

Wait, that guy seems to be me?

Uh...

That's fine.

"In short, this is why I came back to Chiba to seek help. I hope that God will think of a way to restore us to our original appearance!"

Chapter 175 Say it again! I am Yu Zhang, not Yu Zi!

Listening to Yu Zhang's explanation, Inoue Ue also fell into deep thought.

I didn't expect the monster to be so fragile. Because of absorbing the alternative "fear", even its own image has been changed?

Inoue Ue also sighed, and then said: "Don't you think this situation is a bit similar to urban legends? The well-known image absorbs the "fear" from all sides. ”

Yu Zhang was stunned when he heard this, nodded, and responded: "By the way, if this is the explanation, our bodies should be changing in a direction similar to that of urban legends, right?"

"Similar" is still similar after all. Although the situation is similar, the changes of Yu Zhang and others are still very different from those of urban legends.

First of all, the existence of idol groups is open, while urban legends are legends that no one can prove their authenticity. There will be a big difference in the amount of "fear" obtained by the two.

It's just the "fear" obtained by urban legends. If we don't mention the various adaptations, their "fear" should still be able to barely maintain a certain degree of purity, right?

And people like Sadako and Hanako are urban legends, so they will naturally not be affected by the "fear" they absorb. It's hard to say about Yasha Yuki and Mary, but looking at their daily situation, the impact of "fear" should not be as great as they imagined.

The real reason for the changes in Yu Zhang and others' bodies is that they are being eroded by the "fear" that is different from their original identities.

Even a powerful monster like Yuzhang can be contaminated by "fear", so what if the "fear" that belongs to urban legends is absorbed by an unknown monster?

For some reason, Naya's image suddenly appeared in Inoue Ueya's mind. Her actual situation could not be more serious than he imagined.

Perhaps he can find a way to help Naya by solving Yuzhang's problem?

Inoue Ueya scratched his head and tried to express his thoughts, trying to let the two raccoon cat monsters in front of him analyze it.

"If the problem is the "fear" absorbed into the body, then as long as the problematic "fear" is released from the body, the monster with a mutated body may still be able to return to its original state, right? ”

This raccoon cat father and son are not as simple as imagined. Yu Zhang's magic skills can be compared with some old monsters who have lived for a hundred years. Moreover, the old man Yinshen Xingbu Tanuki is also a big monster like Nurarihyon. His knowledge and understanding of monsters and strange things far exceeds that of everyone present. Maybe we can hear something useful from them.

After listening to what Inoue Ueya said, Yinshen Xingbu Tanuki pondered for a moment and finally shook his head.

"This method will not work. Not to mention that "fear" is not something that can be easily removed from the body, especially Yuzi, the child, has absorbed a lot of "fear". It is impossible to do such a thing so easily..."

Hearing this, Yu Zhang suddenly slammed the table and said with dissatisfaction: "Say it again! I am Yu Zhang, not Yuzi! "

"Oh, I clearly named you Yuzi, but you just heard it as Yuzhang..."

Seeing Yuzhang getting angry, Yinshen Xingbu Li couldn't help but show a helpless expression.

"Anyway, there's nothing wrong with becoming a girl. I think it's not bad to have a daughter in the family. Why don't we just keep it this way?"

"What? I'm your own son after all! What the hell are you talking about, you disrespectful old man! "Yu Zhang was so angry that his teeth itched. He resisted the urge to beat up his old father, and his body trembled unconsciously.

The Hidden God Xingbu Tanuki also realized his slip of the tongue at this time. He subconsciously turned his head to the other side, not daring to look at Yu Zhang, and muttered in a low voice: "Well, after all, a cute daughter is much better than a son who likes to make trouble..."

"Really, I thought it was a big problem, but it turned out to be just this kind of thing..." Iwanaga Kotoko sighed.

While the Tanuki father and son were still arguing, the God of Wisdom seemed to have found a solution.

"Have you heard of fighting poison with poison?"

"Fight poison with poison?"

"That's right, since the changes in you are due to the influence of the idol group, then change back in the same way, there will be no problem, right?"
