I loaded the ghost talk game

Tokyo.

Special search of an office in the countermeasures room.

The papers on the desk are piled up in a mess, and the ashtray at the corner of the desk is full of cigarette butts.

"It's not easy to explain the general situation just by dictation. I have a copy of the specific information here. You can take it and read it, or take it back directly. If your master wants to know the situation of the living people who came back from another world , you can help convey it."

Yuuki Makensuke pulled a file bag from the table.

Wearing a mask, but her cheeks were blushing for some reason, and her eyes were always glued to Uncle Yuki's body, the girl poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of Kamiyagawa.

"Thank you, sister-in-law."

"Chi-ha-"

The slit girl's mask bulged slightly, and the slippery tip of her tongue protruded from it.

She should like the name Kamiya calls her very much.

look.

It's so easy to pass the strange stories of women who have become shikigami.

Kamiya knows this well.

Kamiyagawa came to the special search countermeasure room today because he received a notice from Uncle Yuki and came here to hand over the follow-up situation of the "Return of the Kisaragi Station Stranger Incident".

And it has been a week since the return of the stranger.

The official organization has now almost recovered from its initial unparalleled shock.

"It's amazing that you made such a big commotion. I was on vacation in Hokkaido, but because of your business, I ended my vacation early and flew to Tokyo."

"It can't be regarded as the noise caused by me. It's mainly my master. I just did a little communication work. Moreover, I am doing good deeds."

Kamiyagawa unhurriedly took a sip of the hot tea in the disposable paper cup, picked up the file that Yuuki had drawn out, and looked through it.

Documents and information in the file indicate that—

A week ago, the members of the special search countermeasure room found many survivors who had returned from the other world near the platforms of various subway stations and tram stations.

The Kisaragi train should have sent those people back to the place where they first boarded the train.

Everyone fits the "spiritual hidden" situation.

No relevant identity records could be found, as if they were superfluous people who appeared in this world out of thin air.

After confirming this point, Kamiyagawa still sympathizes with Masao Nagatomo.

Like the "game-watcher" folktale that Onizuka told before, even if Nagatomo returns to reality, his mother and girlfriend Sayuri Ishino will not remember who he is.

"Then, Uncle Yucheng, how are you going to arrange these people? They have no identity and no past. How to return to society is a big problem. Or are you not going to put them back into society?"

"There are some resettlement plans in the files. And what do you mean they are not going to be put back? What do you think we can do with them? Do slice studies?"

"I haven't turned it over yet."

"In short, we re-created the identities of these people. Most of them will return to society step by step, but they need to contact our people regularly and come for regular physical examinations. There are also some people who have lost their basic sanity. They may I can only spend the rest of my life in a special orphanage."

"oh."

While Kamiya responded, he took out a resettlement plan from the file, and the above situation was similar to what Uncle Yuki said.

Survivors need to leave a special record, and also regularly contact the special search countermeasure room, and cooperate with medical examinations from time to time, and report various physical data.

It seems that if these people return to society, their personal freedom will be restricted to a certain extent.

But this is probably impossible.

After all, they used their flesh and blood to walk through the other world.

"Most people return to society step by step, what about a small number of people? I see that there is a list of special personnel attached to the plan."

Kamiyagawa's eyes stayed on the documents at hand, and with his free hand, his fingertips gently rubbed the leather armrest of the seat under him.

"These people are the focus of attention, and their encounters in that world have their own special characteristics—boy, can I smoke?"

"It's up to you, but it's better to draw less, it's a waste of life." Kamiyagawa shrugged, "Then how to deal with the focus of attention."

On that special list was Masao Nagatomo's name.

Snapped.

The silver casing of the zippo lighter was opened with a clear and crisp sound, and a faint blue flame spewed out.

Yuuki Makensuke lit a cigarette for himself:

"The organizational meaning is to absorb them into the special search countermeasure room and do some clerical work. If they are really incapable of working, they can also look at the printer and pour tea—"

"In short, it will be much more convenient for follow-up contact after entering the organization, and observation and inspection. There are precedents for this kind of thing. There are also a few staff in the countermeasure room who do not participate in armed operations. parties to the incident."

"It seems that this kind of thing will not trouble you at all."

"It's us. Even if you are still a non-staff, you are still a part of the special investigation countermeasure room. You don't know how much the upper management wants to draw you in directly."

"Come on, let's go."

Uncle Yuki leaned on his office chair a little decadently, and blew a smoke ring:

"You said earlier that your master sent 148 people from the other world, right?"

"Well, there are a few strange interviewers who followed my instructions. They assisted my master in saving people. They reported the number to me."

"Can drive non-shikigami visits, you boy can always come up with some new tricks for me-let's talk about business, it's also recorded in the data. This week, our people found only 102 survivors .In addition, in the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara...more than 20 unidentified hanged people were found. It can be confirmed that they were all suicides, and they all died within a week."

"you mean……?"

Kamiyagawa responded like this, and at the same time found a few photocopied photos from the file bag.

The image above is a hanged corpse. Qiqi hangs on rows of ropes, like bacon being dried.

This scene is somewhat similar to the strange rope hanging that Kamiya had previously cured.

Perhaps, the strange talk rope hanging itself is the aggregation product of the resentment of several hanged people in the sea of ​​trees in Aokigahara.

In addition, a suicide note written on white paper was also photographed in the photo——

[The world has forgotten me. Without an identity, without a past, what is the meaning of my existence? What am I coming back for? But... at least, in this world, I can die decently, and I won't turn into a disgusting monster after death. ]

Kamiyagawa: ...

Yuki Makensuke took a deep puff of cigarette:

"Boy, we get rid of spiritual masters to save people, but in many cases, you can't save everyone, and in many cases, the ending will not be perfect... In the end, we are just poor worms fighting with our lives and strange stories, you have to get used to it. You've done a good job."

"I know."

Kamiyagawa put down the copy of the photo in his hand.

"Oh, by the way, about your master, is he still unwilling to contact us directly?" Yuki changed the subject consciously.

"Um."

"Alright then." Yuuki Makensuke didn't bother with this point, "Tell him on behalf of the organization, we pay him the highest respect."

The official organization has experience in dealing with powerful neutral ghosts and ghosts, and most ghosts and gods are not so easy to get along with.

Being eccentric is fine.

In fact, although Uncle Yuki brought up the fact that Kamiyagawa was taught by ghosts and gods, he didn't fully believe it at first.

But now that the "Return of the Stranger at Kisaragi Station Incident" came out, so many witnesses have confirmed the real existence of the powerful "Master Thor".

Yuuki has to believe it or not.

And through this incident, it can basically be confirmed that the "Master Thor" has a neutral and friendly attitude towards human beings.

With this endorsement, the status of Shen Guchuan, a "disciple of ghosts and gods", in the organization will naturally increase.

Speaking of the mysterious master in Kamiyagawa, Uncle Yuki thought of another question: "By the way, is your master really Thor?"

"I don't know, maybe you call him that, and he just answered it like that. Or, he does have a certain authority over the Thunder God, but he is not the legendary Jianyu Thunder God."

Kamiya responded fluently.

The incidents in Aokigahara gave him a better understanding of ghost stories with the characteristics of gods.

Yamabiko, Yamabashi, and Inosa King can all have the characteristics of a mountain god, so it’s not too much for his vest to claim to carry the characteristics of the god of thunder, right?

"Perhaps. I don't dare to jump to conclusions about things that you, an apprentice, can't say for sure."

Yuki Makensuke flicked ash in the ashtray full of cigarette butts:

"Also, writing a written report on the rescue of strangers in the trapped world in the past few days can properly increase your own role in the incident. I will help you apply for a bonus from above. I know you like this."

"A lot? I've been thinking about changing houses recently, and I just need a lot of money."

"……Do my best."

...

The matter was about the same, Kamiyagawa got up with the file bag and wanted to leave.

Uncle Yuki also stood up to see him off.

"By the way, kid. Although I have asked many times, do you really not consider officially joining the Special Search Countermeasures Room? How about being my official assistant? With your ability, this position will be yours after I retire. Yes. Got more money, huh?"

"Besides, I'm fine now. And even if I'm a non-staff, my contribution to the special investigation countermeasure room is not small."

"That's true. But..."

"It's you, uncle. I've always been very surprised. I see that other high-level executives in the organization have fixed deputy. Why do you always act alone?"

"Hiss... You asked me about it, it seems that it's because you haven't met any suitable talents."

The two talked like this and walked to the door of the office.

As soon as he opened the door, Kamiyagawa saw an acquaintance standing outside, it was Nagatomo Masao.

After Xiaopingtou left the inner world, Shengu talked with him several times on the phone.

But since the latter has been undergoing questioning and physical examination in the countermeasure room, this is the first time they have met directly.

"Mr. Kamiya? Why are you here?"

When Xiaopingtou saw Shengu walking out of the office, he was far more surprised than Shengu seeing him.

"Ah, I'm going to talk to Uncle Yuki about something——Changyou, how are you feeling these days?"

"I, I'm fine. Well, I'm here to find Mr. Yuki... Master Kanazawa said that Mr. Yuki will be responsible for my affairs..."

Xiaoping scratched the back of his head, and carefully looked at Makensuke Yuuki behind his eyes.

"Oh, then let's talk. I just want to go downstairs to practice shooting targets. After a few days, when you have regained some freedom of movement, let's get together again."

Kamiyagawa smiled and walked out of the corridor with a file bag in hand.

Several countermeasure room staff along the corridor subconsciously stopped and nodded to him.

No one dared to belittle this disciple of ghosts and gods who had repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats.

...

in the office.

Yuuki sat down on the office chair again, reached out and pulled out a file from the table to check:

"I know you, Nagatomo Masao, a friend of that boy Kamiya. In this incident, he contacted his Master Thor mainly to save you. Sit down, do you want some tea? Uh, let me pour it for you?"

Although they are also sitting across from the desk, Changyou does not enjoy the treatment that the Gap Girl makes tea.

Even he couldn't fully see the famous urban ghost talker, he just had a vague feeling.

I feel that there is something strange in this office.

"Ah, ah... no."

Xiaopingtou sat down uneasily.

What I thought in my heart was that although I always knew that Kamiya-kun was very powerful, I didn't expect him to be so powerful!

Not only can you come and go freely in such a special official place, but you can also chat and laugh with the big shots here.

Moreover, Mr. Yuki said that Kamiya-kun contacted Lord Raijin mainly to save me...

If it weren't for the inappropriate timing of the occasion, Changyou would have moved the macho to tears.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Well, Mr. Yuki, I heard from Master Kanazawa that the special search countermeasure room intends to let me work here as a staff member."

"There is such a plan, but further assessment is needed. Don't you want to? But your experience in that world is a bit special, and it will be difficult to break away from the countermeasure room in the future."

"No, it's not. I just want to ask, can I not be a clerk, but a... spiritual master?" Changyou Dao explained his purpose.

"Oh?" Yuuki shrugged his eyebrows in surprise, "Why?"

"If you want to say why, I want to be the same person as Kamiya-kun."

"Same as that kid? It's good to have this ambition, but don't compare with that kid. I don't dare to compare with him now, huh...he is hard to evaluate."

Uncle Yuki said so, but there was a strange sense of pride in his tone.

Then he started flipping through the Changyou file in his hand.

Of course, Yuuki has actually read this material many times.

"Jin Ze told me that your physique may be a bit special, and it is easy to attract ghosts. Your experience in the other world is also very strange. You accepted a living soul and picked up a weapon of ghosts, right?"

"Mmm, yes."

"Because of a special encounter, you now have the ability to cure F-level ghost stories, and you can even target some D-level ghost stories. This has a lot to do with the living soul entangled in your body, right? After observing and studying these days, you have That living soul should not have malicious intent, but he was definitely not an ordinary person when he was alive. It's a pity that only you, the host, can hear what he said, can you know his identity now?"

"It's still not clear, he only said that he used to be a folk exorcist."

"Well... In fact, you do have the qualifications to become a spiritual master now. However, being a staff member is much safer than being a spiritual master. Have you really considered it?"

"I've thought about it."

Xiaopingtou replied sincerely, but Uncle Jie didn't respond quickly.

There was a moment of silence in the office.

Snapped.

Zippo lighters spit out blue flames.

Yuuki Makensuke suddenly lit a cigarette in silence and took a deep breath.

He squinted his eyes, and in a cloud of misty smoke, he saw a white humanoid figure hovering behind Masao Changtomo.

Looking at the living soul, Yuki seemed to think of something, but he didn't seem to think of anything.

After a while, he stubbed out the cigarette.

"Okay, your application, I will respond to the above."

...

Nagatomo Masao left Yuuki's office and let out a long sigh of relief at the door.

"Mr. Yuki doesn't have much airs, but talking to him is really stressful. It's amazing that Kamiya-kun can laugh and talk to him."

Just thinking about it, he heard a familiar whisper in his ear:

"He will let you be a spiritual master! The captain likes you very much, I can see it."

"Is that so?" Changyou is already proficient in communicating with the voice of his heart and the whisper in his ear that only he can hear, "But why don't you just tell that Mr. Yuki? Said that you used to be his..."

"Because it doesn't make sense, Nagatomo! I'm dead, and no one here remembers me, and I don't even remember my past that well. Do you want to see me cry and beg them to remember me? My story has already It's over, and since you are willing to become a spiritual master, your story has just begun."
