I’m a Witch In Dongying

　　 Less than ten seconds after the bell rang, the call was answered.

　　 "I am white..."

　　 Before Bai Shuiqiu reported his home, he heard a steady female voice coming from the other end of the phone:

　　"Is it Ms. Shirasumiaki from Narita City? I'm Fujiwara Nanami, Secretary of the Countermeasures Group of Chiba Prefecture.

I have received news about you from Ms. Suzuki before. I wanted to call you as soon as possible, but because some procedures are still in the process, so some time has been delayed. I’m very sorry for that, please don’t mind. . "

　　 "Um, it's okay..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu's tone was stagnant, and he swallowed back half of the words he hadn't finished, and replied a little hesitantly.

Immediately afterwards, Nanami Fujiwara’s voice appeared again: "Ms. Suzuki and Mr. Yanao should have already told you about the general situation of the countermeasure team. I also have some information circulating in the countermeasure team, which will be sent together later. Here you...In addition...

　　 You took the initiative to call me, is there anything you want to tell? "

　　 "Well, there is something..."

Bai Shuiqiu was robbed of white by Fujiwara Nanami, and has not been able to speak. Until now, he nodded and responded: "According to the news that sister Suzuki told me earlier, members of the countermeasure team need to contact you after discovering the supernatural incident. Reporting and filing, right?

Chapter 268 Can you tell me in detail?

"Yes."

　　 Fujiwara Nanami nodded, her voice still very steady: "So, have you discovered a new supernatural event? This time it is still in Narita City?"

　　As the secretary of the countermeasures team, Nanami Fujiwara knows the recent situation in Narita City. With the appearance of Painted Skin and Inujin, if there is another kind of monster like ghost...it would be a bit too dense.

　　 "No, it's Yachiyo City..."

　　"?"

　　 Next, Bai Shui Qiuyan briefly explained what he had encountered in Yachiyo City.

From coming here to make a scabbard, to seeing the man possessed by Yingling while eating at a restaurant, and then following him all the way to this private clinic, from the memories of several Yinglings, I saw it. The existence of the "Ghost Boy" behind the scenes...

　　 The part related to the system was deliberately hidden by Bai Shuiqiu, but simply explained his actions as curiosity.

　　 This makes sense.

　　 As a witch with spiritual power, even if it is not during working hours, there is something like an infant spirit around her, it is inevitable that she will have the psychology of finding out.

　　 The timing is a little bit coincidental...

　　 But there is no way.

After all, it was Guitong who made these infant spirits, not Bai Shuiqiu. Before she came here this time, Guitong should have been in Yachiyo for a long time, so she just happened to be there. That's it. With the number of these infant spirits and the ability to absorb Yang Qi, something will happen sooner or later.

　　 During the whole process, Fujiwara Nanami didn't make a sound, but just listened silently.

　　 It wasn't until Bai Shuiqiu had almost said that, she asked a few words and confirmed the situation with Yingling and Guitong.

　　 "...That is to say, in a private clinic alone, there are six infant spirits, three of which are possessed or human?"

"Yes."

　　 "Furthermore, Ms. Bai Shui, you know from the memory of the infant that its existence is related to the ‘Ghost Boy’, but you haven’t seen this monster in reality?"

"Yes."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded again.

　　 Fujiwara Nanami was silent for a few seconds, and then continued:

"Yingling and Guitong are indeed monsters that have appeared in history, but the last time they were active is very long ago. If things are as you said, then this supernatural event may have already occurred. Yachiyo City has existed for a while, but because it did not cause a large number of casualties, it has not been noticed by the local police for a long time..."

　　 In fact, the intelligence sources of the supernatural events handled by the countermeasure team are very mixed.

There are three main ways of 　　.

The first is that the members of the countermeasure team encountered it on their own while going out. This situation is rare. After all, the entire countermeasure team is composed of dozens of people. The chance of hitting a supernatural event when thrown into the big Chiba Prefecture is basically equal to that. It was a blind cat that ran into a dead mouse.

　　 Two are shrines or temples located in various places, discovering clues of spiritual events, this is a major source of intelligence.

　　三 is another major source of intelligence, that is, the police in various cities in the county.

　　Because whenever there is a ghost in trouble, it will often cause some rather strange cases.

For example, the last time the Painted Skin incident was caused by the former's several skinning cases in succession, leaving a file on the Narita Police Station, and then uploading it online to the police system of the entire Chiba Prefecture before being noticed by the countermeasures team. When he arrived, Zhuxi Suzuki and Jubei were sent to investigate.

Can…

　　 If the supernatural event did not cause any apparent casualties, or even civil disputes and the like did not happen, then it would be a little difficult to be aware of it.

　　 is like the ghost boy this time.

　　Because the ghost boy's method of creating infant spirits is to use the infant spirit body that has died, instead of attacking the living baby.

　　 People who were absorbed by Yingling’s yang energy just showed listlessness and did not disappear or die like the victims in the skinning case.

　　 So even the police cannot notice these guys.

　　 If Bai Shuiqiu didn't hit him by mistake, I'm afraid the existence of the ghost boy and the Yingling would still be hidden for a long time before they might be discovered by other interested people.

　　...

　　 Fujiwara Nanami paused, then continued:

　　"...Because the ghost boy did not appear directly in this incident, so I am not very good at estimating its strength for the time being, and can only speculate based on the previous dossier.

According to several historical records of ghosts like Ghost Boy, the rating of the supernatural events it caused is generally between D and C, but it fluctuates greatly, because the number of infant spirits controlled by it is different. There may be several times the difference in strength..."

　　 "Can you tell me in detail?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu frowned slightly.

　　 In fact, these information can be found in the database of the countermeasure team.

　　 But Bai Shuiqiu has just joined, and has not been in touch with the countermeasure team's process of dealing with supernatural events, so I can only ask Fujiwara Nanami directly.

　　 Fujiwara Nanami also knew her situation, and didn't mean to sell it, so she quickly told the corresponding information.

　　 Ghost boy, the earliest recorded time was in the Heian period.

　　The cause of formation is said to be a child who originally lived in the area of ​​Mount Hiei and was adopted by the temple. He was driven out of the temple by the monks for committing crimes, and then lived alone in the mountains and became a robber.

　　 Soon after he committed too much evil, he was killed by a crowd of intolerable villagers. After his death, his body was thrown into the valley. Under the influence of the miasma, a monster named "Ghost Boy" was formed.

　　 It is rumored that because of his own experience, the ghost boy is very jealous of the happy children, and often sneaks into the village to kill innocent children and babies.

　　 Mount Hiei is located near Kyoto and belongs to the range of Oeyama.

　　In the middle of the Heian period, Yuan Yoshimitsu led the crowd to launch a crusade against Dajiangshan, and Guidongzi was also implicated along with many Dajiangshan ghosts.

　　 But this kind of monster appeared several times in the following years.

　　 But the ghost boys who appeared later have nothing to do with the original one.

Moreover, the strength is generally not very strong. Although it caused some troubles to the people at the time, most of them were quickly suppressed by the local shrines and Yinyangliao. Compared with other fierce demons and others, their reputation and harm were small. A lot.

According to the speculation of some onmyojis and priests, "Ghost Boy" is not a single individual, but a type of person with a special life personality. If he dies tragically at a young age, there is a certain probability that a ghost boy will be formed. Kind of monster

Chapter 269

　　" In the archives kept by the countermeasure team, the ghost boy appeared 17 times in total.

　　The earliest one was in Mount Hiei in the Heian period, and the latest one was in the Bakumatsu period. Since the Meiji period, there has been no record of its appearance.

　　 The body of this kind of monster is actually not very strong, but the ability to create infant spirits is very troublesome. "

　　Speaking of this, Fujiwara Nanami paused and added a few words:

　　"Infant spirits are actually a kind of resentful spirits themselves. They are usually a kind of special obsessional body formed by babies who were aborted by their parents or died unexpectedly within a few months of their birth.

　　 Its main ability is to board on ordinary people through its own umbilical cord, so as to continuously absorb the yang energy from living people and use it to strengthen itself.

In order to ensure a continuous source of yang energy, Yingling will not actively kill the host, but this kind of boarding relationship has a great impact on the host. Over time, it will fall into a state of mental weakness and even reduce life span. .

　　 But even so, compared with those ghosts and monsters who are fond of killing, the degree of harm is much lessened, so it is not easy to notice. "

Besides…

There are also some infants with particularly strong grievances that will attach themselves to the pregnant woman, and then look for opportunities to get into the pregnant woman’s abdomen and use the forming fetus as their new host, so as to achieve the return of yang. Purpose.

　　 This kind of situation has appeared several times in history. When onmyoji or priests did not find out and solve it in time, it basically fell to the end, and it was the result of family destruction.

　　 Under normal circumstances, the formation probability of infant spirits is very low.

　　 However, the ghost boy can use his own demon power to detonate the grievances in the infant spirit body that is about to dissipate, and force the infant spirit to be created by the intervention of external forces.

　　 Then, when necessary, gather all these infant spirits to contend with the onmyoji or priestess who is trying to retreat.

　　—This method was also used by the ghost boy of the Heian period.

It’s a pity that the opponent it faced was Gen Yoshimitsu. The latter was one of the rare fierce men in the Heian era. Even Shutendo was smashed with a single blow. The four kings headed by Watanabe Tsuna were in the hands of this group of people. , A character like the ghost boy can't make waves at all.

　　 However, ordinary priests and onmyojis are not that strong, and they can still be threatened in the face of a large number of infantile siege.

　　 "In addition, the ghost boy has another ability."

"　　" is to borrow Yingling’s grievances. Theoretically, it can temporarily concentrate all the Yingling’s grievances on itself, thereby erupting a fighting power far beyond normal.

However, the cost of this outbreak is very high, which is equivalent to consuming all the infant spirits at once, and after maintaining for a short period of time, they will fall into a period of weakness, so unless forced to do so, the ghost boy will not actively use this method. of. "

"I see…"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu nodded, and silently wrote down what Fujiwara Nanami said.

　　 To put it simply...

　　 If a general monster is like a "warrior", then the profession of a ghost boy is a "summoner". The former is good at single combat and the latter is good at group battles.

Although his strength as a monster is relatively weak, he has gathered a large number of infant spirit guards by his side. The average low-level monster cannot get close to the body of the ghost boy, and even the stronger opponent can use the method of attrition. Exhausted the opponent's physical strength and was dragged to death in the end.

　　 Ants often bite to death like this kind of thing, it's not that it hasn't happened in the magic world.

　　 As for the ability to "concentrate grievances", it can be regarded as a killer of the ghost boy and cannot be counted in the conventional combat power.

　　 But a rough estimate is that the strength of this thing when it bursts into full force, most of it has already entered the ranks of intermediate monsters. It should be about the same as the Inu God of Baidi Bay Tunnel, maybe even stronger.

if that's the case…

　　 is indeed a bit difficult to deal with.

　　 "Is there any pattern in the activities of Ghost Boy? How can I find it as soon as possible?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu asked.

　　"There are two ways.

　　 The first is to use the ability of detection, starting from the place where the ghost boy has been active, and tracking the demon spirit remaining when it leaves. Suzuki Zhuxi, who has been in contact with you before, is very good at this kind of spell. However, if Guitong hadn't been to that private clinic in recent months, this approach might not work.

　　 The second way is to wait for the ghost boy to appear on his own initiative. "

"what?"

　　 Bai Shuiqiu is a little bit dumb.

　　 Ghost boy... will he really show up on his own initiative?

　　"According to relevant records left in history, ghosts like Guitong are very vengeful, and it can even be said that they must compare each other. This is also one of its biggest weaknesses. Ancient Onmyoji used this to attract it to appear.

The six infant spirits that it left in the private clinic are driven away by you in one breath. If the ghost boy is still in Yachiyo City, he will definitely sense the movement here, and he can’t stop coming to check it. The fastest is possible. Will show up tonight. At that time, it is time to seize its opportunity. "

　　 "This way..."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced back at the direction of the private clinic.

　　 So far, only ten minutes have passed since she took the wind raccoon to solve the infant spirits in the clinic.

　　Gui Boy would not come over so quickly, even if he had some feelings.

　　 "Then I will wait here."

　　 Bai Shuiqiu pondered for a while before making a decision.

　　 Anyway, today is the weekend, and there is nothing to do at the shrine. It’s all here, so it’s better to stay in Yachiyo City for a while and get rid of the hidden danger of Ghost Boy. After all, this thing doesn't know when it will reappear. If it comes from Narita City, it might be too late.

　　 Fujiwara Nanami nodded, "Okay, I will tell the police department of Yachiyo City about this matter, and ask the police station over there to send someone to make peace with you.

in addition…"

　　Speaking of this, Fujiwara Nanami paused before asking in a tentative tone:
