They awakened the simulator memory!

If my sister-in-law leaves, then the Beichen family will really be gone...

"Beichen..."

Qing Shuiquan looked at the mountains outside the window with complicated eyes.

Wait until the sword dance competition in the summer vacation, and in the name of the disciple of Beichen Sword Master, go and visit my sister-in-law...

096. "Another acquaintance"

Late at night, Qingshui's house.

After practicing his sword, Qing Shuiquan sat at his desk, closing his eyes and thinking about how to enter the mysterious world.

Not long after, Qing Shuiquan had three methods in his mind.

First, spend some time visiting all the occult shops and shrines in Chiba City, and you might be able to spot the real thing.

Second, through various routes, look for various abnormal events hidden in the urban area of ​​Chiba, and then take the initiative to get involved. Maybe you can bump into people from the mysterious world who come to solve the abnormal events.

Third, he created abnormal events himself to attract people from the mysterious world to come to him.

All three methods involve a certain amount of luck, and none of them alone will work, so he decided to take a three-pronged approach.

It just so happened that creating abnormal events also required some occult materials. He could collect materials for man-made abnormal events while visiting occult shops in downtown Chiba.

"Occult shop..."

Qing Shuiquan turned around and turned on the computer and began to search online for all occult shops and shrines in Chiba city.

Looking at the search results, Qing Shuiquan suddenly started to have a headache.

There are more than 3000 shrines of various sizes in Chiba Prefecture. Even if the scope is narrowed down to Chiba City, there are still more than 100 shrines.

Let’s talk about occult shops. In the small urban area of ​​Chiba, there are more than 130 occult shops of various types, including meditation houses, divination houses, tarot cards, astrology shops, occult materials and other shops.

Should it be said that it is a mysterious and real world?The atmosphere is really full.

There are more than 200 places in total. How long will it take him to visit?

"Let's screen it first."

Qing Shuiquan rubbed the center of his eyebrows and began to filter out the ones with a higher probability of being genuine based on the online reviews.

More than two hours later, Qing Shuiquan made a schedule for himself. In the next period of time, he would check each house according to the schedule.

Tomorrow happened to be Sunday, and he had time all day long. Qing Shuiquan "generously" arranged for himself twenty occult shops and ten shrines.

After browsing through the full schedule, Qing Shuiquan lay on the bed and fell asleep peacefully.

.........

At 7:[-] the next morning, Qing Shuiquan got up on time to complete her schedule.

At early two o'clock in the afternoon, in Inage District, Chiba, a taxi slowly stopped in front of an occult shop called "Night Crow's Nest".

"Brother, the "Night Crow's Nest" has arrived."

Some elderly taxi drivers turned their heads and reminded Qing Shuiquan who was taking a nap in the back seat with his eyes closed.

"Okay, thank you."

Qing Shuiquan opened her eyes and stepped out of the taxi with a tired face.

From 07:30 in the morning to now, he has gone to ten occult shops and four shrines, but gained nothing during the whole journey. Instead, he spent a lot of money on taxi fares.

If this continues, regardless of whether he is tired or not, the taxi fare alone will be enough to make his body ache. Why not just buy a motorcycle?I have used it this time, but I will have another chance to use it in the future.

It's just that getting a motorcycle driver's license is a bit troublesome. Although he has met the minimum age requirement of 16 years old, the driver's license test has strict class requirements and takes a lot of time. By the time he finishes the driver's license test, this matter will probably be over long ago.

Do you want to trouble Reiizumi Tetsuya?With the power of the Lengquan family in Chiba, it should be easy to get a motorcycle driver's license through the back door, right?

"what?"

Just as he was thinking about it, Qing Shuiquan suddenly felt a particularly special gaze sweeping over him.

He followed his feeling and looked at the black crow on the signboard of "Night Crow's Nest".

On the surface, it was just an ordinary black crow pattern, but Qing Shuiquan smelled something similar to a reconnaissance technique.

Is there a magic spell hanging on the sign at the door?It seems like this trip finally paid off...

Qing Shuiquan picked up his energy and strode into the occult shop called "Night Crow's Nest".

"Jinglingling~~"

As soon as Qing Shuiquan opened the store door, the welcoming bell hanging behind the door jingled.

Then, a pleasant girl's voice came from the side.

"welcome."

Qing Shuiquan looked around and saw a very familiar girl at the counter on the side.

The girl was wearing white summer clothes, her hair was light purple, and her purple eyes were particularly eye-catching.

Under the drunken afternoon sun, the girl's skin exudes a milky fluorescent luster. It is obvious at a glance that the girl's skin is soft and tender that can be broken by blows.

"kindness?"

Perhaps sensing Qing Shuiquan's gaze, the girl raised her head from the book and met Qing Shuiquan's eyes.

Looking at the girl's front, Qing Shuiquan's eyelids twitched slightly.

He recognized who the girl in front of him was...

Shinoa Hiiragi, the heroine in "Seraph of the End"...

This "everyday" world is really chaotic. On the surface, everything is calm, but behind the scenes, there are really all kinds of monsters and monsters.

Now that Hiiragi Shinoa has appeared, I wonder if there are vampires in this world?

"Guest, do you know me?"

Noticing the strange color in Qing Shuiquan's eyes, Hiiragi Shinoa asked with a smile.

Qing Shuiquan also smiled back, "You have some similarities with an old friend of mine."

Shinoa Hiiragi tilted her little head slightly and said with an undiminished smile: "Guest, your pick-up techniques are too backward. Girls nowadays don't do this."

Qing Shuiquan smiled and said nothing more.

He turned around, walked to the shelves, and began to browse the items in the store.

On the shelves are common occult items, such as crystal balls, tarot cards, ritual candles, amulets, magic books and other popular items.

After shopping around for two times, Qing Shuiquan, who found no "genuine product", returned to the door and looked at the ceiling without saying a word.

The ceiling painted black is dotted with a star diagram, which seems to create a mysterious atmosphere, but in fact...

"The flow of magic..."

Qing Shuiquan squinted his eyes, his brown pupils shining slightly.

By instilling magic power into your eyes, you can clearly see the magic veins in the astrological diagram. Those veins are somewhat similar to the magic array diagram, but the basic principles are obviously different.

Qing Shuiquan, who didn't understand the mysterious system of this world, couldn't see the real function of the astrological chart for a while.

"It turns out that your guest is also an industry insider."

Noticing the change in Qing Shuiquan's eyes, Hiiragi Shinoa finally left the counter.

She put on a standard business smile and walked slowly to Qing Shuiquan.

"Guest, you have proven your identity, please come with me."

Qing Shuiquan looked away, looked at Hiiragi Shinoa, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Guest, you will know as soon as you come with me."

Qing Shuiquan narrowed his eyes and followed Hiiragi Shinoa silently without asking any more questions.

097. "How do you pay the rent?" 』

Hiiragi Shinoa led Qing Shuiquan through the shelves and went straight to a wall.

"untie!"

Facing the perfectly normal wall, Hiiragi Shinoa whispered.

Immediately afterwards, the wall in front of Hiiragi Shinoa slowly melted away like a flower in a mirror, like the moon in the water, and was replaced by an elevator door.

Shinoa Hiiragi stepped forward and pressed the operating button on the side of the elevator.

"Ding---"

The elevator door opened, Hiiragi Shinoa turned around, faced Qingshuiquan, and said with a smile.

"Guest, please."

Qing Shuiquan nodded slightly and walked directly into the elevator without being polite.

After entering the elevator, Qing Shuiquan noticed that the elevator in "Night Crow's Nest" was different from the ordinary elevators outside. There were no floor buttons on the inside of his elevator. Instead, there were four extremely simple buttons.

Opening, closing, moving up and down, nothing more.

In addition, the style of the entire elevator is also extremely simple, with a silver-grey appearance. There are no mirrors to organize makeup, and there are no cameras in the corners.

Before Qing Shuiquan could observe too much, Hiiragi Shinoa followed closely behind, entered the elevator, and pressed the down button immediately.

When the elevator started, Qing Shuiquan silently estimated in his mind that the elevator's running speed was about 1m/s, which was close to the standard low-rise elevator running speed.

It takes nearly five seconds from start to stop, and the descent distance is about five meters, which is almost the height of two floors.

In addition, while the elevator was running, he vaguely noticed subtle fluctuations in magic power.

This elevator doesn't seem to be purely electric?But a hybrid of electricity and magic power?

"Ding---"

Just as I was thinking about it, the elevator door had opened.

"Guest, please."

"kindness."

Qing Shuiquan followed Hiiragi Shinoa out of the elevator, looking at the scenery in front of her, Qing Shuiquan raised her eyebrows slightly.

The area underground exceeds that of the ground. The "Night Crow's Nest" on the ground is about one hundred square meters, and underground, he roughly estimates it to be more than one thousand square meters.

Counting against the ground, the underground of "Night Crow's Nest" not only occupies the underground of the stores on both sides, but also extends to the opposite side of the road.

Thinking of this, Qing Shuiquan suddenly asked.

"How do you pay your rent?"

"..."

Hiiragi Shinoa was slightly startled, then smiled and said: "We don't have to pay rent. This piece of land belongs to our Hiiragi family. We can use it as we like. By the way, the same goes for the underground."

"The Hiiragi family? Is your surname Hiiragi?" Qing Shuiquan asked knowingly.

Hiiragi Shinoa smiled slightly and said openly: "Hiiragi Shinoa, the acting store manager of "Night Crow's Nest" in Chiba City, you can call me the store manager, or Miss Hiiragi."

"I understand..." Qing Shuiquan nodded slightly, then turned to look at the rows and rows of shelves in front of him.

"Excuse me, Miss Store Manager, where is the books section?"

"Miss Store Manager..." Hiiragi Shinoa narrowed her eyes, seemingly dissatisfied with Qing Shuiquan's title.

"What's wrong? Miss store manager." Qing Shuiquan looked back at Hiiragi Shinoa and asked.

"No, it's nothing. The book area is in the northeast corner. Guests are welcome to browse by themselves."

"it is good."

Qingshuiquan took a step forward and headed towards the northeast corner.

Looking at Qing Shuiquan's back, Hiiragi Shinoa stood there and reminded politely.

"Guest, since this is your first time visiting our store, we would like to remind you that if you do not want to purchase, please do not remove the seal on the product at will."

"If you unseal the seal of a certain product without authorization, 'Nightcrow's Nest' has the right to require you to purchase the product."
