Be Low-key in a Supernatural World

Youjia sat in front of the dining table not far away, eating some snacks and checking the news on her mobile phone. There were three people in the family, and she was the only one who was forbidden to enter the kitchen.

"The Special Division issued an early warning in the afternoon. Around one o'clock this morning, ghosts of unknown origin appeared in the streets all over the country, causing chaos of varying degrees..."

Youjia was chewing potato chips, with surprise in his eyes: "The ghosts have already started? Is this still far from the Yulan Basin?"

In previous years, such news would only appear around the Obon festival.

Sanriyue Qingkong, who was looking at the steamed stuffed bun cage, nodded slightly: "It's really strange."

She glanced at the demon-killing arrow and evil-proof talisman hanging on the wall, and said to Furutekawa: "When we have time, let's go to Shirakawa Shrine to ask for another evil-proof talisman. There are walnuts, so we should be able to find a talisman drawn by the god himself." .”

Guatechuan shook his head: "No need, with me here, no monsters dare to come!"

"What about when you're not around? If a monster really breaks in, would it be useful to show it your photo?" Youjia on the other side dismantled his desk.

After washing his hands, Guatechuan went back to the bedroom to get a sword. He put the sword on the sword stand at the door of the bedroom of the three of them, and said, "I've used it to cut down many monsters, and it's stained with smell. It's much more useful than evil spirit talismans." Now, it will protect the home while I'm away."

Youjia sucked her finger, got up and walked over, reaching out to touch the sword, Gu Techuan pressed her head: "Wash your hands!"

"Oh!" She ran to the bathroom, and ran back after a short while, reaching for the sword with one hand...but she didn't move it.

She froze for a moment, held it with both hands, and finally picked it up with all her strength, hugged it in her arms, and widened her eyes: "Why is it so heavy?"

"It's not heavy, how can it be powerful?" Guate Chuan was afraid that she would lose his waist, took it casually, put it back on the shelf, and said: "This is not a toy, don't touch it casually, and don't touch it if you get hurt. It was fun."

Youjia flicked her wrist and muttered, "My arm hurts after just holding it for a while, and only people with problems play with it."

These words were automatically filtered in Furutegawa's ears, he went to wash his hands again, went into the kitchen, and continued to help Mikazuki.

Steam came out of the cage on the stove, and the aroma of steamed buns wafted in the air, making the mouth water.

Furutegawa Kamimi and Youjia rubbed their hands together, and they both stretched their necks and waited.

Sanriyue washed her hands, waited for the countdown on the stopwatch to go to zero, then turned off the fire, and said to the two people who got up: "We have to wait for 5 minutes."

Both Furutegawa and Yuka squeezed into the kitchen, one serving vinegar and the other holding a dish.

After waiting for 5 minutes and finally going through it, the cell phone in Furudegawa's pocket suddenly rang.

While waiting to eat the steamed stuffed bun, he took out his mobile phone and looked at it. It was Yasuhiro Ishikawa calling. He put down his vinegar and walked towards the living room.

Sanriyue and Youjia took a look, then took the cage and went to the dining table.

Kotegawa Shinmi answered the phone and said, "Good evening, Ishikawa-san."

"Good evening, Furutekawa..." On the other end of the phone, Ishikawa Yasuhiro's voice was dignified: "I may ask you for help with something very urgent."

"You say, I'll listen first."

"At 4000:[-] am this morning, the Special Section Headquarters received more than [-] reports of ghosts on the streets."

Furutekawa was taken aback, sat up straight, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many?"

"The protective barriers in various places are not damaged, but the reason why no warning was issued has not yet been found out." Ishikawa Yasuhiro's voice became more serious, and he lowered his voice: "This is a very bad signal! We suspect it is a ghost With a way to circumvent the enchantment...if this is the case, supernatural events will erupt on a large scale across the country."

Furutegawa Shinmi's expression became a lot more dignified.

If this is the case, it will be very bad!

Leaving aside Tokyo, the safety of Uncle Ken, Aunt Akiba, and Xiao Chihaya's family in his hometown has also become a problem, especially because it is on the side of a mountain, and if something happens, it will be the first to bear the brunt...

He pondered and asked, "Is this the case here in Tokyo?"

"Ota Nerima, Koto, Edogawa, and Adachi districts all have relevant incident reports." Ishikawa Yasuhiro sighed: "This matter has become the most urgent task now, and other matters must be put aside for the time being."

"So many have appeared in Tokyo..." Furutegawa Kamimi's mood sank: "What about the casualties?"

"This is the second weird thing I want to talk about..." Ishikawa Yasuhiro said: "There are no direct casualties caused by ghosts. There are a few cases of injuries that were accidentally injured due to riots."

Gu Techuan was also taken aback when he heard this, and frowned.

More than 4000 reports of ghosts wandering the streets, but not a single incident of injury?It's really weird...

"But even so, it is still a big hidden danger..." Yasuhiro Ishikawa looked worried: "Once they get out of control, the number of casualties may go directly to [-]... That is no less than a catastrophe."

Furutegawa Shinmi thought about it and asked, "How do you want me to help?"

"This..." Ishikawa Yasuhiro said after deliberation: "Anyway, I'll say hello to you first. If there is no such incident happening later, the special department will investigate slowly first. Otherwise, we can only use some special means... "

Guatechuan was a little puzzled: "What is a special method?"

Ishikawa Yasuhiro said in a deep voice: "It's hard to talk on the phone. I'm rushing to your house. If it's convenient, come out and talk."

"...All right, I just take advantage of this moment to make a phone call to my hometown."

"Okay, see you in 10 minutes!"

After the call ended, Furutegawa Kamimi called Uncle Ken directly.

The call got through quickly.

Uncle Jian's calm voice came over: "Xiao Jian?"

"Uncle, I read on the news that there are ghosts all over the country, are we okay there?"

"Oh, a ghost!" Uncle Jian pondered for a while: "By the way, Xiaojian, there is a very big tortoise, said to be your friend?"

"A tortoise? Ah! Yes! I met in the mountains during the Golden Week!" Seeing his heart pounding, Furutekawa said, "I hit it off with it immediately, and we hit it off right away, and finally got to know each other and became friends..."

Uncle Jian said slowly: "It did say that you beat it."

"Where! It's just for fun..." Gu Techuan laughed: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"When I was working in the field today, a water ghost jumped out of the river, but it was eaten by your friends before it landed a few steps." Uncle Jian Er recalled: "It said it was in the river near the village. It’s been almost two months since I wandered here, and I finally have something to do.”

"Really?" Furutekawa said subconsciously.

After beating the big tortoise last time, let it protect the village as a condition for letting it go.

But how could there be water ghosts in the river... Furutekawa frowned.He had never encountered such a thing when he was in his hometown.

On the other end of the phone, Second Uncle Jian went on to say: "I also saw the ghost scene on the news, but it didn't show up at home. Your friend is the tortoise on Huyin Mountain. It's still living here recently, don't worry too much."

"When I go back during the summer vacation, I have to thank it well."

"Well..." Second Uncle Jian paused for a while: "I said that too, but it said that the best thank you gift is not to see it again."

"..." Furutekawa changed the subject indistinctly: "Auntie isn't home?"

"It was raining heavily at home in the afternoon, and Mr. Ishikawa and his wife couldn't come back from the city. She went to pick up Qianxia and Qianhaya to stay at home. There are only two children left at home, so I don't worry about it. In addition, I made an agreement with your Auntie Akiba, In two weeks, we will go to Tokyo together, meet old friends, and take a look at your life over there..."

Guatechuan listened quietly, leaning on the sofa with a smile on his face: "When the time comes, I will also give you a big surprise."

"Surprise? You boy, don't scare us! I don't want to be a grandfather at such a young age..." Second Uncle Jian lowered his voice: "Is the relationship with Xiao Qingkong not bad? Boys should be more generous. Since you choose Don't let her be wronged."

"Don't worry, I have them all."

"That's it for now, I'll go out and have a look."

"Okay, if there is anything, be sure to tell me."

"All right, all right, worry about your affairs..."

Second Uncle Ken hung up the phone, Furutekawa put it back in his pocket, stood up, and walked back to the restaurant.

Youjia was eating steamed buns dipped in vinegar, and his mouth was full of oil.

Sanriyue was serving porridge, but the bowl and chopsticks in front of her hadn't moved yet.

"It's been so long, what happened?" She asked softly.

Kamito Furutekawa looked at the bowl in front of her, reached out to change the porridge that had just been served, then stirred the top layer of "skin" with chopsticks, and said, "Well, there may be something about the bounty. Do it, I have to go out in a while."

Sanriyue was taken aback for a moment, then nodded silently.

Youjia next to her had greasy lips. She held the bun in one hand, opened her eyes and asked, "How much do you pay for an order?"

"I don't know, I'm not sure what the job is yet." Kamitokawa rolled his eyes, took a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while chewing, "It's impolite to inquire about such things, good luck!"

"Aren't I more worried about whether you can take good care of Qingkong?" Her eyes widened again: "Just tell me! I've heard about it, so I won't spread it!"

San Riyue next to her knocked on her head, speechless: "Even the buns can't stop your mouth?"

"Did you get beaten up?" Seeing the gloating look on his face, Furute Chuan Shen gulped down the steamed stuffed bun and reached for the second one.

Xiaolongbao is only as big as a baby's fist, and it's just right for two mouthfuls.

At this time, the sound of a car horn came from outside the door.

Furutekawa took a look, shook his head, took a few sips from the bowl and drank it clean.

Sanriyue also glanced towards the entrance, got up and went to the kitchen to get a big box, put five drawers of buns in it, closed the lid, and said to him, "Remember to eat while it's hot."

He reached out to take it, and said with a smile: "Don't wait for me, lock the doors and windows, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Sanriyue nodded slightly.

Furutegawa went to the bedroom and changed his clothes, put on the sword bag on his back, and went out with the box.

He directly locked the house door, the anti-theft door, and the gate of the yard, looked up at the house, walked around to the other side of the car, opened the door and sat on the co-pilot.

Yasuhiro Ishikawa, who had heavy bags under his eyes, glanced at the box in his hand, started the car, and drove him into the dark night.

In the house, Sanriyue Qingkong watched the car leave through the cat's eyes.

You Jia stood behind her, leaning against the wall and asked, "Are you worried?"

"A little bit..." San Riyue said in a daze, "But a man wants to earn money to support his family, so there is nothing he can do if he worries..."

"Oh, Yoyo? Why do you feel like an old married couple?" You Jia poked her cheek with her finger: "You're only sixteen, and you speak so old-fashioned, what should you do in the future?"

San Riyue rolled her eyes at her, and walked up to the second floor: "Go and check the windows first, and then eat after locking them."

"it is good!"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On a deserted street near Kita Senju Station in Adachi District, a car parked under a weeping willow tree with lush branches under the cover of night.

Inside the car, there were two people eating buns.

A total of 35 buns were wiped out in less than 10 minutes.

Furudegawa shook the empty box back and forth a few times with both hands, but didn't shake out any more.
