The Hundred Stories of Miss Ghost

But this time, Youxiang didn't look so disappointed. On the contrary, she could see the raging fighting spirit in her eyes, "She actually slipped away again! This shows that this Granny Chun is really the real thing! Ahhh, good If I want her to divination for me again, I must catch her!"

At this time, "Lianjiang" gave full play to the true qualities of a little brother, stepped forward and said: "Miss, otherwise we will take all the valuable things here as collateral, and then use spray paint to paint the door of the divination hall." 'Debt not repaid', or put a coffin at its door as a deterrent?"

Ah, this...as expected of a professional, I feel very skilled in this business.

Before Youxiang could speak, Xiaotong quickly replied: "Forget it, forget it, there is no need to do this step... What we want to ask for is not so urgent..."

Youxiang also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, doesn't that make us look like a gangster? I'm curious, how did this mother-in-law figure that we would come here? Could it be that it's really the kind that can The ability to predict the future?"

Well, I thought about it seriously, and then said to Xiaotong and Youxiang——

【so!I have an idea for validation!Let me give it a try, Xiaotong and Youxiang, go do something else first?For example, go shopping and buy some clothes! 】

"Eh?" Youxiang asked suspiciously, "It's okay... But, it's really just to go shopping at random? No other tasks?"

[No need, needless to say what you have done will cause interference, all in all, just forget about Grandma Tsubaki for now, just relax and wander around for a day!It's best not to get close to here, anyway, my voice transmission ignores the distance, I will tell you directly if there is any situation.Let Feng Jiang and Lian Jiang go away first, and they don't need their help for the time being. 】

"Ah... If it's possible, I don't really want to go shopping, can you let me find a place to rest and play mobile games for a while?" Xiaotong made a dead house speech that was completely incompatible with the status of a female JK.

"No! There are only a few pieces of clothes for Xiaotong, and I'm tired of looking at them. It's a rare opportunity for me to dress up for you!" Youxiang immediately restrained Xiaotong, and dragged the helpless girl to start a sweep of the commercial street. journey of.

I'm the only one left on the scene now, no, it's not strictly accurate to say that.

I raised my head and said to the empty air, "Ning Meng, are you there?"

"I'm here." Another voice of mine sounded in my head.

"Recently, I feel that your sense of existence is getting thinner and thinner. I agreed that the night is your time, but it turns out that I often come out for activities."

"Haha, because it's more fun to see you guys having fun. Sometimes I just find it fun as a bystander."

"It's good that you don't disappear suddenly."

"Not yet. There are still many interesting things to be verified, aren't there?"

"That's good. But, Ning Meng, since I have become a god now, then you are also a god, right?"

"perhaps?"

"Then, the great Ning Mengjiang, as your devout believer, I wish you a wish, please make a small wish of mine come true?"

"Ok?"

----

There are people coming and going on the commercial street in Shinjuku, but unlike the hustle and bustle of the past, the front of Grandma Tsubaki's divination house today is particularly deserted.

Time passed, noon, afternoon, dusk, night.

Finally, when it was almost midnight, there was a small movement in the silent divination hall.

I saw a small crack in the floor slowly opened like a flap, a pair of thin eyes looked out cautiously from the gap, and after confirming that there was no one in the room, I breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door. He opened the cover on the entire ground and slowly climbed up.

"Oh, I'm getting old. I can't take it anymore if I do this to my waist twice. Let's pack up and run away tonight. The rent for this restaurant has already been paid. Unfortunately..."

In the darkness came the voice of a woman rambling to herself.

She didn't even turn on the light switch in the room, maybe she was afraid that people outside would see it when the light was on?Always, she just took out a flashlight, illuminated a corner of the room, and started to tidy up the things in the room.

The light of the flashlight swept across the room, and then very abruptly illuminated the face of a translucent girl.

"Ah!!" The old man couldn't help but was frightened by this sudden scene and took two steps back.

I saw that cute girl tilted her head, and then she leaned forward very happily and said to the old man, "Ah, that's great, I finally found someone who can see me. As soon as I regained my senses today, I found myself sitting In this wonderful house, there was a piece of paper in front of me that said 'Stay here, don't go out', so I didn't believe it, I decided to go out and have a look, but I couldn't get out of this store anyway, It seems to be blocked by an invisible wall. People outside the window seem to be unable to see me. You look like a psychic. May I ask if I died and became an earth-bound spirit? If so In this case, can you please tell me, how can the ghost encounter the real thing? Or how to get out? I stayed here for a day and I was going to be bored and crazy~~"

The old man was a little shocked after listening to the long and fast speech of the ghost girl, and then seemed to understand something, and suddenly ran out of the store, but when she pressed her hand on the doorknob, she found that no matter what , the door won't move.

The ghost girl standing there seemed to have just woken up from a big dream, and suddenly realized: "Ah, as expected of me, I can think of such a way."

Then she turned her attention to the ninja-like granny from the wrong era who was leaning against the gate, wearing a black hooded cape, strange prom glasses and a veil.

The girl walked towards the old woman and said, "Hi, Granny Chun, I took the liberty to disturb you in this way. It's really because you don't want to meet us. If I'm not wrong, you can judge when we will come to you. The basis is probably not the ability to see the future, but the ability to perceive some kind of maliciousness pointed at you by others? If you want me to choose a name, um... danger perception? Malicious omen? Probably that is what it means?

--

(To put it bluntly, when I was just typing, my cat suddenly came out and looked straight behind me, and the eyes were still shining. I was so scared that I didn't dare to look back. This is not the first time.)

Chapter 16 Mother-in-law's wish

Youxiang speculated at first whether this Granny Chun could predict the future, so she avoided us every time.

However, I feel like it doesn't look like it.If Grandma Tsubaki can really predict the future, it seems that she should not wait until we are almost there before she ran away in a panic, and was almost blocked by Maple Sauce and Lotus Sauce, but should not go to the divination hall from the beginning.

There are two other details. Last time, she started to escape when we approached Shinjuku Commercial Street, but this time, she fled away more than an hour before we arrived in Shinjuku.

Why is the time of perceiving danger different?

These two time points do not seem to have any similarities, but think about it carefully, the last time, the time when she escaped was about the time when we asked passers-by, learned that Kamiya Tsubaki = Tsubaki Granny, and confirmed the divination This time, more than an hour is about the time we spent from Tsukiyomi Shrine to Shinjuku, so the time she escaped was roughly the time we set off.

That's why I have a guess. Granny Chun was able to predict the reason for our coming, and it is very likely that she sensed the malice we pointed at her.When we had the idea of ​​catching Granny Chun, she suddenly had the idea of ​​a crisis.

But this is just one of my guesses, and this guess is still very difficult to verify.

Because according to my guess, if you want to catch Granny Tsubaki, you must approach her and control her without any malice towards her. The idea of ​​getting back the glasses is actually creating ill will against her.And it is almost impossible for people to control their unconscious thoughts, and I can't do it myself.

But I suddenly thought that my other half, Ning Meng, seems to be able to do such a thing.

When I first woke up, I forgot some of my past memories, and thought that what happened to Ning Meng was my own personal experience. It seemed that Ning Meng kept giving me some hints and hypnotism caused by.

Although my own power as a god is very weak now, because I don't know what my priesthood is, and I don't seem to have any special abilities other than sending a message to believers.However, it is difficult to affect the real things in the material world, but with my own permission, it shouldn't be difficult to use Ning Meng's power to influence my own cognition, right?

It's equivalent to asking Ning Meng to do the previous thing again, rebooting my phone, and returning to the initial state where I didn't know anything about the situation!As long as I don't know what I'm going to do here, then I'm a good citizen who is completely harmless to humans and animals and will not emit any malice!Maybe in this way, it won't be divined by that Granny Chun?

Although it took more time than I expected - I originally guessed that maybe this mother-in-law would come back in the afternoon?But I still greatly underestimated the level of cautiousness of this mother-in-law. I didn't expect that she would sneak back to pack up her things and run away at midnight-but I still managed to catch this slippery, muddy old woman !

It's just that this mother-in-law didn't seem to want to have a friendly conversation with me. She quickly pulled out four stones from her hand and put them between her five fingers, while shouting, "Auspiciousness and protection, the evil spirits will disperse!" , while throwing the stone at me.

The few stones hit me, and then "slapped" and shattered.

Hmm... how should I put it, it kind of reminds me of the time when I first met Xiaotong. At that time, she also threw all kinds of things at me, ah, it's quite nostalgic.

"How could it be... I poured all my strength into the lucky stone with the power to ward off evil..." Seeing that I was unharmed, the mother-in-law muttered to herself in disbelief.

"Mother-in-law, you are a little bit rude, isn't she some kind of 'evil' to be warded off?" I said as I walked two steps closer to the mother-in-law.

"Evil spirit! Stop and move forward! Although I don't know why you are staring at the old body, but the old body will never make you happy!" The old woman shouted imposingly.

I tilted my head to express my doubts, "Mother-in-law, don't you know the purpose of my coming to you? I thought you could figure it out?"

"???"

"Mother-in-law, I'm here to pay back the debt. The owner of the 99 grocery store entrusted me to recover an item lent to you in the past, that is, 'glasses that can see through love at a glance', I guess, this is probably what you are now Those glasses you're wearing?"

The mother-in-law is now wearing a pair of glasses, which are the fancy prom glasses that are commonly seen in nightclubs and parties. The glasses look like a blooming butterfly on the whole, covering her mother-in-law The upper half of the face.

"Would you...return your glasses?" Grandma Chun subconsciously reached out to touch the glasses she was wearing on her face.

"Yes, this should be something you borrowed, and it's time to return it."

The mother-in-law was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly got excited, grabbed something from her pocket with both hands and threw it at me, shouting: "No! Before my wish is fulfilled, this thing must not be returned!"

The thing thrown by the mother-in-law started to spray a lot of smoke in the air, and the whole divination hall was instantly foggy, and it was impossible to see anything clearly.By the way, is this mother-in-law really a fortune teller by profession?Why do I look more like a ninja?

Taking advantage of the smoke, the mother-in-law quickly jumped to the underground exit she used when she came in, and went down this secret passage to the underground parking lot of the building in one breath.At this time, the mother-in-law finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But my voice sounded very inconsiderately behind her——

"Well, although it doesn't look like it, I am actually a very helpful and friendly god. I am indeed here to collect the debts, but I will not really violently collect them. If possible, it is better to give How about I elaborate on the unfulfilled wish you just mentioned? Will you return the glasses to us as long as you fulfill that wish for you?"

The mother-in-law was so shocked that her hair stood on end, she turned around stiffly, and her eyes fell on the friendly and friendly smile I tried to show.

The mother-in-law was so nervous that she slurred a little and said, "You...will you help me realize my wish?"

"Ah, it's just a free service just to get back the glasses. It may not be possible to realize it? I still have to listen to what your wish is before I can see if I can help you?"

Grandma Chun pursed her lips, and then the lower half of her face covered by the veil was visibly reddened by the naked eye. She turned her head and said shyly like a girl: "My wish is... I hope to be able to Find my destiny."

Chapter 17 The Girl and the Hidden God

On the morning of the next day, Xiaotong and Youxiang came to Grandma Chun's divination hall again under my call.

Just walked into the hall, and as soon as she saw Granny Chun sitting there, Youxiang said straight to the point with an excited face: "Hello, mother-in-law! I heard from my senior sister that the condition for you to return the glasses is that we hope we can help you." Are you looking for someone?"

Granny Chun's face darkened, she stared at Youxiang and said angrily, "Nonsense! What I told that ghost was to let her help me find my destined person!"

Youxiang frowned her thick eyebrows to express her puzzlement, "Isn't that what it means to find a lover? Mother-in-law, don't be shy, we can help you with this matter! We can publish a marriage proposal! Call for loving grandpas to talk about it." A twilight love~ No, no, the scope of the grandfather is too limited, so he simply set the age range from 8 to 80 years old! He even spent a sum of money to organize a blind date program, put it on TV to recruit partners! You can use your mother-in-law's name to conduct love divination on the spot to test the matching degree! Oh, the more you think about it, the more tricky you will be!"

"You...you!" Granny Chun pointed at Youxiang and almost fainted, "I didn't mean that when I said destined person!"

[Let me explain, the destined person that my mother-in-law said was that she thought that she had met someone who moved her heart and never forgot her, but she has not found that person until today, so what she wants us to do is Help her find this specific person. 】

"Oh...then you need some information to find someone, right? Name, age, where did you meet him, and what are his characteristics?" You Xiang asked a lot of questions like a cannonball.

Grandma Chun looked away in embarrassment, "That... I forgot."

"Ha, forgot??" Youxiang had a look of disbelief.

Xiaotong pressed Youxiang, who had written "I can forget this" all over her face, and made her sit down, and then said to Granny Chun, "Grandma, please tell us from the beginning, what happened? ?”

Granny Chun glanced at Xiaotong, and said quietly: "Have you... heard of [Shen Yin]?"

"Shenyin?" We looked at each other, and then Xiaotong replied, "I have heard of it, and I may have seen it once. There was a girl we knew who disappeared for no reason before and was found back later. gone."

"Is that so? Actually, in the past, Shenyin was a better word for 'disappearance'. When I was a child, I was a child in the mountains in the countryside near Kyoto. At that time, some children ran to the mountains to play, and finally But did not go home, and when the adults couldn’t find it no matter how hard they looked, some old people would say, ‘Ah, maybe some god, or Master Tengu took him away’. This is actually a kind of nice According to the saying, adults who hear this will try not to think about it in their hearts. The child is missing or even dead. Maybe at this moment, where is he still living well? Mysterious disappearance, unless the body is found, the family will not hold a funeral or anything. In fact, most of the mysterious incidents are simply lost or abducted. However, there are also some mysterious incidents, but It's really weird, for example, the person who was hidden by the gods came back after a few years, but the person who was hidden by the gods has no memory of the experience of these few years at all."

"Is that the person hidden by the gods...is that you?" Xiaotong asked tentatively.

The mother-in-law nodded and said: "Yes, about 40 years ago, when I was a 15-year-old girl, one night, there was a summer night festival in our small town. I put on I bought my best kimono and prepared to go to the festival, but it wasn’t my mother-in-law who was bragging, my mother-in-law at that time was a well-known beauty in the town~”

"Hey——" Youxiang couldn't help hissing when she saw the loose and wrinkled skin on Granny Chun's face that couldn't be covered by the veil.

"Hmph, don't you believe me, kid. At that time, people in our town said that my appearance was comparable to that of the national idol Shimizu Yuriko who was famous for her beauty at that time~" Granny Tsubaki said a little annoyed.

Xiaotong gave Youxiang a wink to tell her to shut up, and then said to Granny Chun: "Grandma, please ignore her, you can continue talking."

"Then...well, there's nothing 'continue' after that." The mother-in-law sighed a long time, "My memory at that time ended on the way to dress up and go to the festival. And when I regained my memory again , When I suddenly woke up, I found... I was standing on a super busy street that was completely different from my hometown. I was wearing completely different clothes and came hundreds of kilometers away from my hometown Tokyo, and, after a few hours, I realized that it had been exactly...five years since I set off for that summer night festival."

"So... you lost your memory for five years, and then you suddenly came to Tokyo from Kyoto... So, what about the man who was destined? He was someone you met during the time when you lost your memory? Do you remember anything about him? thing?"

Granny Chun shook her head slowly and heavily, "I don't remember, I can't remember anything about that time. I'm afraid the only thing to be thankful for is that I still remember such a person. I feel that my memory There should be a person in my heart who should not be forgotten anyway, but there is nothing in my memory, as if there is a huge void in my heart. After that, there is no happiness, longing, or expectation. Fill this void. That's why I gradually have such an obsession, that is, no matter what, I want to find this person who I obviously have no memory but who is unforgettable."

"Could this be your brain supplement, mother-in-law?" Youxiang poured cold water ruthlessly, "Actually, such a person does not exist, but mother-in-law, you have lost your memory, and because you have no idea about the memory loss during this period of time. What kind of exploration happened that made you, mother-in-law, unconsciously fabricate such a person, and then even you yourself believed your imagination?"

Granny Chun squinted at Youxiang, let out a heavy breath, and said, "Let me tell you one more thing. Ever since I came back from my spiritual disappearance, my inspiration and intuition have become surprisingly sharp and invisible. The thoughts inexplicably generated in my mind are often not delusions, but things that can be verified. For example, the day before yesterday and yesterday, I always had a chill in my mind out of thin air, although the specific thing is I don't know, but I just know that someone must come to trouble my old lady. Do you think that my mother-in-law, who has been divination here for decades, has such a big name, and I got it by deceiving people? Not to mention Said that this year has been entrenched in my mind for decades, and it has never weakened for a moment. That person must exist... It's just that I can't find him no matter what. "

"Are those glasses useless?" I asked at this time.

Chapter 18 The Red Line of Marriage

"Are those glasses useless?" I asked at this time.

"Yes, yes, what is the effect of those glasses!" Youxiang was also super curious about this, and almost leaned over her mother-in-law's face to observe the pair of glasses she was wearing.

"This pair of glasses... To be precise, you can see the 'line'."

"Wire?"

Grandma Chun explained: "Isn't there such a legend that a person's little finger is tied with a red thread, and the other end of the red thread is connected to the person who is destined. This pair of glasses is something that allows people to see these threads. "

Youxiang's eyes lit up in an instant, and she couldn't wait to say to Granny Chun: "Grandma, please help me! Where is my cable going?"

Granny Chun rolled her eyes at Youxiang, who hadn't said anything good since the beginning, and replied casually, "You, I saw the thread extending from your finger, wrapping 365 times around your body. , and finally tied a knot in your chest!"

"Ah...does it mean that I'm going to be alone forever? Xiaotong~" Youxiang hugged Xiaotong, her eyes shed lasagna.

"Okay, put your tears away, mother-in-law is obviously joking with you." Xiaotong said helplessly to Youxiang.

"What!" Youxiang changed his face instantly, looked at Granny Chun with a bulging face, and said a little angrily, "Grandma, how could you do this! I really thought I was going to die alone!"

"Tsk, with your brat's character, it would be amazing if someone could hold you back. And to be honest, it's better not to look at the direction of the red line."

"Ah, why?"

"At first, I thought that what I saw through this pair of glasses was a predestined marriage drawn by the gods. But gradually, I realized that something was wrong. Some people's little fingers can be connected with several There are two red lines facing different directions, but the red lines on the hands of couples who have been married for many years do not connect to each other. Instead, they go in different directions. The red line of the person is connected to the screen of the mobile phone or the monitor. Later, I concluded that what I see with this pair of glasses should not be the real fate, but it should be... the location of the ideal love partner that is most in line with that person Direction? Rather than saying that this is a pair of glasses that can see through a relationship, it is better to say that it is a pair of glasses that can see the ideal lover in the other party's mind. Therefore, the object pointed by the red line seen through this pair of glasses is in most cases Time, there is no way to turn into a real relationship."

Youxiang couldn't help laughing out loud, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I think this can also be said to be a pair of glasses that see through XP, haha..."

Xiaotong rolled her eyes at Youxiang again, and then said after thinking carefully: "If this pair of glasses is in the direction of my ideal lover, then... isn't it the one who can just see your mother-in-law?" Where is the 'destined man'? Why...you haven't found him after so long? Could it be...because you can't see your thread?"

Granny Chun's eyes suddenly became sad, she shook her head, and said: "If I say, I can't see the thread on my body, maybe I won't stick to it until today. I might think that , maybe it was just a dream of mine, maybe it was really just my delusion, that person never existed. But, I can see my own thread, but I... can't see the other end of the thread Where did it go?"
