The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

[This doesn't look like the real thing, I have no way to touch it. 】I explained my discovery to the two of them, and then asked Youxiang, 【Do you have any other beckoning cats at home? 】

"It seems... It's gone, right? Unless you include the logo of the Huashanyuan Group..." Youxiang pointed to some documents stacked neatly on the desk in the room, and there was a letter printed on the cover of the top document. A symbolic Lucky Cat Logo.

【Ah... I almost forgot, the logo of the consortium of Huashanyuan Group itself looks like a beckoning cat...】

"Well, yes, it is said that my dad commemorated the first store he opened back then, and this was the signboard at that time."

Just when Youxiang and I were focusing on the beckoning cat, Xiaotong was also looking around for possible information.

Following the light coming in from the window, she seemed to notice something, suddenly took two steps forward, squatted down, and picked up something from the ground.

"That...You Xiang, I'm asking a bit presumptuous question...Uncle...will he invite women to his room for the night?"

"Ah?" Youxiang was taken aback by Xiaotong's question, she shook her head firmly and said, "No, absolutely not. I actually want him to find me a stepmother, maybe he can give me a stepmother." The big house adds a bit of popularity, but he seems to have an obstacle in some way. Since I divorced my mother, I haven’t seen any woman he has dated with, let alone brought someone back. The only person who enters his room is the daily cleaning My housekeeper. What's the matter, why do you ask me so suddenly?"

Xiaotong silently showed Youxiang what she had in her hand, it was a very long hair, reflecting silvery white in the sunlight.

Youxiang looked at this hair carefully, then shook her head like a rattle, "Impossible, impossible, with silver-white hair, we have never seen such a fashionable woman in our family!"

"Then...if it's not human hair, could it be...the hair of that beckoning cat?" Xiaotong guessed.

"You mean, that beckoning cat...could it be alive!" Youxiang was taken aback by Xiaotong's guess.

Chapter 6 Engels 【Modify】

"You mean, that beckoning cat...could it be alive!" Youxiang was taken aback by Xiaotong's guess.

"That possibility is not ruled out."

Hearing what Xiaotong said, Youxiang immediately widened her eyes and began to search every corner of the room, as if she could find a cat lurking in a certain gap.

At this time, I suddenly had a suggestion, [By the way, Hitomi, take out your cat shikigami and see if you can call it out?If the beckoning cat is really alive, it is also a cat. Wouldn't it be easier for Neko Shikigami to find it?I remember that onmyoji said that this shikigami has the ability to investigate, right? 】

"You can, but you may not be able to scream..."

[That must be because you haven't mastered the method! 】

Under my strong request, Xiaotong had no choice but to take out the black cat-shaped paper-cut and put it in the palm of his hand. Driven silently in his heart, he stretched out a finger and quickly drew a line on the paper.

The black paper seemed to dissolve in the air, turning into a cloud of black mist, and then the black mist gradually formed into the shape of a black cat.This black cat is a spirit body rather than a real thing. You can only see a cat-shaped black silhouette standing on the small pupils, and a black mist is slightly diffused outward. You can't see the details of its body, only its head. A pair of light green cat pupils opened at the bottom.

[Out, appeared! 】I couldn't help being surprised.

"What happened? Shikigami? Where is it?!" Youxiang blinked her eyes vigorously and looked around.

"It's in my hand, Youxiang, didn't you see it?" Xiaotong pointed to his palm.

Staring wide-eyed for a long time, Youxiang slumped down as if deflated, and said in frustration, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

[It seems that Youxiang still can't see the spirit body. 】

"Why is it always like this!" Youxiang was a little annoyed, then turned her head and asked Xiaotong, "Hitomi, describe to me what a shikigami looks like!"

"It looks like a cat-shaped black shadow, um... it looks a bit timid." Xiaotong carefully stretched out a finger and slowly approached the black cat, "Well... it seems to have sniffed my hair Palm, and then rubbed against me...I didn't feel any touch, but suddenly felt a very cold feeling... Ah, Mochizuki-senpai reached out to touch it, she was very nervous at first and wanted to hide, but now she still looks I enjoyed it..."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooocious.....

"Eh, what?"

"Name, the cat's name! Isn't it important to give a shikigami a name?!"

Xiao Tong tilted her head and thought for a while, then blurted out a name——

"Hmm... Engels?"

"...Why do you always have such a strange taste in naming, Hitomi! Can't you change it to something cute?! For example, Heitan! Or briquettes!" Youxiang protested strongly.

"I don't think your naming taste is much higher than mine..." Xiaotong sighed deeply, but then she was a little puzzled, "It's strange, why can't I name it in my house, it's fine here? "

[Quickly, give it an order to see if it can understand. 】

"Engels, find out, are there any other cats in this room?"

Mao Shikigami seemed to understand Xiaotong's words, jumped off Xiaotong's palm, landed on the floor of the room, and began to sniff around.

At first, it was interesting to see it sniffing around with its four short legs, but it ended up going around the room for half an hour, without any special discovery.

[Hey, this cat shikigami is not a waste, is he? 】

Unexpectedly, Xiaotong accidentally defended her cat-style Shinto: "Sister, how can you say that... Even if it is useless, as long as it is cute!"

I can't see that Xiaotong would like this kind of thing. I stared at Engels' cat eyes for a long time, but I really didn't understand how cute this black thing is.

And when this black cat shikigami was looking at me, he suddenly shivered as if he had been frightened by something, and it turned into a black mist and dissipated with a "pop", leaving only a piece of cat-shaped paper The tablet slowly fell onto the table.

"What's going on? Sister, did you scare Engels?"

[I didn't, don't talk nonsense! 】

Just as I quickly denied it, there was a sound of an engine outside the window.

You Xiang also looked surprised suddenly, and saw her lying on the edge of the window with a "whoosh", looking out cautiously.

Through the window, a car could be seen driving in from the gate and then parked in front of the villa.

A tall man in a black suit stepped out of the luxury car and suddenly looked up.

Through the glass of the window, I had the illusion that I looked at him for a moment.

"Ah, shit. My dad's back! Go go go!"

Youxiang acted like a thief and was discovered. She pulled Xiaotong out of this room and returned to her own room. After closing the door, she complained slightly dissatisfied: "Why did he come back today? Usually, he doesn't stay at the company for food and lodging. , Can't you wish that there is his home?!"

"Why do you feel a little afraid of your father?" Xiao Tong asked strangely.

"There's nothing to be afraid of, it's just a bad relationship." Youxiang showed a tangled expression, and continued, "He always looks like someone owes him money. Sometimes, I would suspect that I am not. His daughter, Qian Qian is his daughter. I rarely see him, so sometimes...if he comes back, I will feel weird and a little uncomfortable. "

At this time, Youxiang's room was knocked lightly three times.

The voice of Mr. Fang He, the housekeeper, came from outside the door: "Miss Youxiang, dinner is ready. Master hopes to have dinner with you and your friends today."

"Tsk." Youxiang made a displeased voice.

Walking into the restaurant of Huashanyuan’s family, the first thing that comes into view is the long table that can accommodate a dozen or 20 people to eat together. The table is full of exquisite food. A man with a Chinese character face and some beard Sit at the head of the table.

"Father." You Xiang greeted him rather strangely.

"Let's all sit down." The middle-aged man said, and at the same time, his eyes shifted to Xiaotong, and then he grinned and said, "This is Sanriyue, isn't it? Welcome, Youxiang rarely invites friends to our house I'm a guest. I'm usually busy with work, so I hope you can take care of my family, Youxiang."

"This...Of course." Xiaotong nodded quickly.

The man nodded, his gaze shifted to Youxiang again, but his smile suddenly retracted, his face became serious, and he asked in a low voice: "Youxiang, today... have you entered my room?"

"You... what are you talking about?" Youxiang looked away, trying to play dumb.

"You have been in my room, right?" Motoji Hanayamain said with certainty.

"Really, what's wrong with going in, I want to go in and find a book!" Youxiang said impatiently.

"Don't come into my room." The man said in an unquestionable tone, "There are some business secrets in it, and it's not convenient for you to see it now. Did you hear that?"

"Okay! If you don't go in, you don't go in, really..." Youxiang was very upset.

Then, the three of them had a very embarrassing dinner in silence.

After Youxiang quickly ate something casually, she said "I'm full", and pulled Xiaotong to leave the restaurant.

I floated behind them, glancing back as I left the restaurant.

The light in the restaurant was dim and cold, Motoji Hanayama was still sitting on the dining table without moving his head, but...his eyes looked very strange under the dim light.For a moment, I seemed to see that his eyes occupying the entire face were extraordinarily large, and almost all of them were black and the whites of the eyes could not be seen.

This face was so weird but it made me feel familiar. I suddenly realized that my uncle's face at this time was exactly the same as that of the beckoning cat on the shelf in his room.

Chapter 7 A Difficult Decision [Modified]

"Really! What the hell is that guy! He doesn't even let me in the room, for fear that I will damage his precious lucky cat! The guy who only has money in his eyes! No wonder he is so rich after divorcing my mother. I can't find someone to remarry either! I really deserve it!"

After returning to her room, You Xiang couldn't help cursing a little.

But I couldn't help but ask Youxiang: [Uncle's character...has it always been like this? 】

Youxiang recalled it for a while, then shook her head, "It seems...not really. I remember that when I was quite young, my father would sometimes play with me, and his expressions were more natural, and he looked more like a person. .It's just... In recent years, he has come back less and less, and he feels more and more like a robot when he talks, just like now."

I couldn't help but fell into thinking, Xiaotong looked at me like this, and asked: "What's the matter, is there any problem?"

[I don't know if it's my illusion, but there's something wrong with my uncle's appearance.Just before leaving, for a moment, I seemed to see that my uncle's face was like a cat. 】

"Cat?! Could it be... the beckoning cat in his room?"

【Hmm... yes, the lucky cat in my uncle's room doesn't look real. I'm a little suspicious. Is the real lucky cat... attached to my uncle...】

"Possession... Possession?!" Youxiang was taken aback by my words, "Senior, what do you mean, the one who just talked to us... is no longer my father, but that lucky cat?! "

[I'm just saying that there is such a possibility... I don't know exactly how that lucky cat influenced my uncle, whether it was brainwashing or mind control, or possession... Or even secretly replaced?I feel like I need to verify it. 】

"But... how to verify this?" Youxiang asked suspiciously.

Xiaotong turned to look at Youxiang, "Did you...have you noticed any unusual behaviors of Uncle? For example...moving like a cat? Or have cat-like features on your body?"

Youxiang frowned, "It doesn't seem like...does it count as working overtime at night for a long time?"

"It shouldn't count..."

We were in a predicament for a while, Xiao Tong thought about it, borrowed the computer in the room from Youxiang, and wanted to search the Internet to see if there had been any noteworthy changes in the impression of Uncle Huashanyuan in the eyes of outsiders.

Most of the results found by typing "Huashanyuan Motoji" were business news, but Xiao Tong found a special report on Uncle's character by Nihon Keizai Shimbun.This report introduces my uncle's personal entrepreneurial experience, and also invites some people in the financial sector, employees of Huashanyuan Group and even ordinary people to talk about their impressions of Uncle Huashanyuan.

I am more interested in the second half, for example——

A well-known commentator in the financial industry: Motoji Hanayamain is like a hungry wolf in the sheepfold in Japan, which is generally quite conservative in the business world.He pursued the maximum profit with aggressive and risky strategies that were often impossible for other corporate leaders, as if he had an unparalleled confidence in winning, and it turned out that he was always right.I have met him a few times, and he always said very modestly that his success comes from the blessing of the god of wealth, but if there is a god of wealth in Japan, I think this god is not as good as Said it was Yuanzhi himself.

An employee A of Huashanyuan Group: The president is actually a very gentle person on weekdays, and he has almost never seen him reprimanding his subordinates loudly.But the fact is that we are all afraid of him. Can you imagine, in a meeting, when he reads out in an emotionless voice the whereabouts of every sum embezzled by a minister?It was as if even the air had been frozen.The salary of Huashanyuan Group is indeed higher than that of other places, but at the same time, the president will also liquidate everyone who took money that shouldn't be taken.

Mr. L, an ordinary citizen: Is it Hanayama-in Motoji?I admire him quite a lot. I heard that he started his business by opening a small shop by himself?Very inspiring.I have seen the earliest photos of the "Hanayamain Group" circulated on the Internet. It is an extraordinary store. Hanayamain Motoji is standing in front of the counter, and there is a beckoning cat on the counter.Didn't everyone laugh and say, what kind of beckoning cat are you still worshiping? Mr. Huashanyuan might as well look in the mirror, which may be more effective.It is suggested that Huashanyuan Group release a beckoning cat with your president's face printed on it, it will definitely sell well.

Xiaotong then searched with the keywords of beckoning cat and Huashanyuan, and actually searched for pictures of beckoning cats made according to the face and expression of Uncle Huashanyuan. Usually, the dynamics of reposting such pictures are also praying for fortune, Comments like business is booming.

After reading this, several of us looked at each other in blank dismay.

【Faith and personality worship have all gathered on Uncle Huashanyuan. From this point of view, it is very likely that the beckoning cat has attached to Uncle...】

"That is to say...my father's changes in personality over the years may also be related to this lucky cat? He is becoming more and more like a robot who can only make money. I don't like him very much."

Youxiang's eyes flicked across a picture frame placed on the desk in the room. It was a group photo of the three of her family when she was very young. The three people in the photo were all smiling happily, but the one in the photo Youxiang is only about three or four years old, and I don't know if she can still remember what happened at that time.

I don't quite know what Youxiang is thinking now, she pursed her lips, her face that was always full of enthusiasm and vitality was now frowning, and her eyes were focused on the family photo, as if she had a faint longing?

Frowning and struggling for a while, Youxiang finally seemed to have made a difficult decision, and said:

"Forget it, I've decided, quickly find that lucky cat and return it! It doesn't matter that the Huashanyuan family doesn't need that much money."

"It's fragrant..."

Xiaotong called Youxiang worriedly, probably to comfort her, but Youxiang waved his hand, and in the blink of an eye, he regained his previous optimistic expression, and said, "It's okay, even if there is no move Wealthy cat, the Huashanyuan family’s current business is not something that I can lose in a short while. Even if you really have no money~ Seeing that you are so short of money, Xiaotong, you are still doing well, right?”

"Can I beat you?" Xiaotong, who wanted to comfort Youxiang, suddenly had a tic-tac-toe on his forehead, and his expression immediately changed into that of a ghost.

Chapter 8 The Weird Villa 【Change 2】

The night was getting late, and we guessed that Uncle Huashanyuan should be asleep, so we also got out of the room.

The mansion of the Huashanyuan family is very large, but there are very few people living in it. Apart from Youxiang, her father and housekeeper Fanghe, there are only two or three servants hired. Compared with this big house It is simply too little.

So, when night fell, this big house looked like a haunted house where all sorts of horror stories would happen.

The long corridor leads to the deep darkness. The moonlight shines through the windows, reflecting silver-gray grids on the ground. However, there are still a lot of shadows growing in places where the light cannot shine.

I feel that my night vision ability as a ghost is already quite high, but I can't see through the shadows in many corners of the house, and even for a moment, I saw many fine particles in the shadows in the corners. The small fluorescent eyes are staring at us, but when I stare intently, I see nothing.

Something is wrong, something is wrong, there is something weird in this house.

I couldn't help but asked Youxiang in a low voice: 【Hey Youxiang, you have lived in this house since you were a child, haven't you encountered any strange things at night? 】

"Ah?" Youxiang tilted her head, "Strange things... No, I secretly explored this house at night when I was young, but I really didn't find anything..."

Even Xiaotong couldn't help admiring Youxiang, and whispered: "Explore here alone at night, it's a good thing you don't feel scared..."

Youxiang spread her hands, "Ah... how should I put it, I'm afraid I still feel a little scared, but it's good to get used to it. After all, I have lived here for almost ten years. Because my dad used to be busy with work. I don’t come back often, I’m the only child in such a big house, and it’s impossible to have any neighbors in such a big courtyard, so I often have to let Uncle Fang He or the servants play with me. Even they are very busy and have no time At that time, I was alone to entertain myself. At that time, I imagined that if there were any ghosts in such a big house, or moving portraits, Dharma eggs that would bounce around at night, etc. It would be great if Guaitan can play with me, or there is some secret room where treasures are hidden, but I still haven’t found anything.”

[Maybe it’s just that Youxiang’s inspiration is too weak, so even if there is a real ghost story in front of you, you still can’t see it~]

"Senior sister, what you said is so hurtful!" You Xiang puffed up her mouth in the dark, and said angrily with a little displeasure.
