I loaded the ghost talk game

Hoshikuma Doji: "However, I was just confused and angry about this, but I didn't do anything. The one who really tried to change and took action was Ishikuma."

Shixiong Tongzi, the King of the Great Rivers and Mountains who was evaluated as "honest".

He is also a unique being among the ghost clan.

It is said that Shikuma Doji is not a pure ghost, but his blood is mixed with the blood of the Kamo family, a family of human onmyoji.

It is a living example of how humans and some special ghosts can give birth to offspring.

In a sense, it provides Kamiyagawa with factual evidence in this regard.

Ishikuma Doji grew up in the Kamo family. At that time, he still had a human name named "Kamo". Stone bears did not show much difference from humans during childhood, except that their strength and size were much larger than those of their peers.

But after reaching adulthood, the stone bear finally showed its ghost characteristics and grew ghost horns and fangs.

Naturally, the human world cannot allow the existence of such a half-human, half-ghost alien, so Ishikuma was secretly exiled by the Kamo family and eventually moved to Dajiangshan.

Humans living under the sun cannot tolerate Stone Bear, but the ghosts in the night accept him.

In addition, although Stone Bear is half ghost, he does not like killing. His childhood experience in the human world gave him a completely different nature from other ghosts and monsters. Stone Bear loves human craftsmanship, especially in the field of construction.

The Ghost Queen of Dajiangshan, who became the "Xiong Zi Generation", took "Shi" as her ghost name, which also contains this meaning.

The Dajiangshan City that Kamiya sees now was built by Shi Xiong and the ghosts.

Probably because of this, and because of his special identity and experience, Shi Xiong has his own deeper insights into Xing Xiong's confusion about "the world being roughly divided into two."

He believes that killing and robbery are not the instinct of ghosts, but the influence of the environment.

There are people with evil intentions among humans, and there are also those with good intentions among ghosts.

The existence of Star Bear Boy, who has always lived in the ghost camp but does not like to do evil, has strengthened Shi Xiong's own belief.

So the two naturally became friends.

They did not agree with the idea of ​​Shuten Doji, the leader at that time, to rely on strength to develop and fight against humans with all his strength. If the country was allowed to continue to plunder, regardless of victory or defeat, the ghost clan would always be the evil side in everyone's hearts.

It will become more difficult to guide everyone to do good in the ghost camp.

Dajiangshan should be given new values. Ghosts are also good. This is the first step to announce to the world. In this case, those who one day hope to do good, whether they are humans or monsters, may follow Da Jiangshan.

There are beings like Hoshikuma in the ghost clan, and there are onmyojis like the Kamo family in the human world.

The Kamo family knew that Ishikuma Doji was a half-ghost, but they still raised him. Even after he revealed the characteristics of a ghost, they did not execute him, but secretly banished him. Because of this, Stone Bear has never resented his human blood relatives.

That's it, humans and ghosts don't necessarily have to fight to the death.

When values ​​gradually change, more people or ghosts who share the same ideas as the Kamo family and Hoshikuma will surely appear.

At that time, will there be a world with opposite values ​​such as "human beings are evil and ghosts are good"?

Or, what about a world where humans and ghosts are equal?

But no matter which side they are on, the ghost tribe will never continue to be considered the evil side.

As a result, Shi Xiong began to be active in both the human and ghost camps as the "Emissary of the Great River and Mountains".

Not for anything else, even if it was just because he had blood flowing from both sides of his body.

Shuten Doji had always known about Shi Xiong's actions and his overly idealistic ideals at that time, but Dajiangshan Ghost King just scoffed and did not stop him, allowing Shi Xiong to do what he did.

And the final trend of facts seems to confirm that Shutun is the right one.

The gap between concepts is an insurmountable gap. With a gentle attitude, even if Shi Xiongdongzi spends his long life, it may not be bridged.

While Shikuma Doji is running in vain for the ideal of "peace between humans and ghosts," the endless fight between humans and ghosts continues.

In the end, Dajiangshan ushered in the crusade of human Genji.

The Yuan family’s crusade was not brought by Shi Xiong and had nothing to do with him.

But just as Shuten expected, they would come sooner or later.

Because the great country is here.

The outcome of the final battle between humans and ghosts is now known. Perhaps there are some details and secrets that are not mentioned in the legend, but the ending is like this. Minamoto no Yorimitsu almost destroyed the entire country.

And because the real world and the ordinary world were completely separated in the subsequent period, Dajiangshan City disappeared into the ordinary world, and the remaining ghost clan was able to survive.

They slept and rested for a long time, and it was only today that the surviving Golden Bears and Star Bears revived this famous monster force in the other world.

The story in Dajiangshan is probably like this.

…

After listening to Xingxiong's story, Kamiya pondered for a moment, then spilled the wine in the wine cup on the ground: "Shixiong Boy is indeed a very strange ghost clan."

Consider it a tribute.

It’s also a reasonable escape from drinking.

"Hmm..." Xingxiong raised the wine bowl in his hand, paused for a while, and then took a swig.

"So is it because of what happened in the past that Dajiangshan now chooses to expand in the eternal world?"

Xing Xiong nodded, then shook his head:

"Absolutely. The ghost clan cannot be without power... In short, this is what Golden Bear thinks. Although the two worlds of humans and ghosts are separated for some reason, no one can guarantee whether the two worlds will be reunited in the future. There will be a day of complete integration. If that time comes, humans and ghosts will inevitably start a war again. Not for other reasons, just because the country is here."

"So the country needs strength. Jin Xiong thinks that if we can command the entire world and gather the power of ghosts and ghosts, we can defeat the humans in another world with force."

"I can't refute him. Sometimes... I think he is right."

Kamiya was noncommittal about Hoshikuma's words.

In fact, he knows very well that the power of exorcism in modern human society is far less powerful than that of the Heian Period in the era of symbiosis between humans and ghosts.

During the Heian period, there were the Tsuchimikado family of Abe Seimei, the Kamo family, the Genji family who were samurai but could remove spirits, and then there were wild onmyojis like Ashiya Michitsu who were not from aristocratic families. Now it seems that the best of these characters have at least the ability to defeat the Aragami.

In modern society, exorcists who can independently handle C-level and above ghost stories are already the elite in the countermeasures room.

However, it cannot be said with absolute certainty.

After the separation of the real world and the eternal world, the human world lit up the technology tree and embarked on a completely different development path from before.

You must know that bullets engraved with Buddha's Dharma can remove spirits. If the table could be turned over to directly add Dharma to nuclear bombs, the lethality to ghosts and gods would be terrifying, right?

"Thinking about it this way, you seem to be pretty strong in this world?"

Kamiyakawa complained silently in his heart.

Although he thought so in his heart, he said in his mouth: "So, Star Bear, you want to see it, right?"

"what did you see?"

The one-horned female ghost was more drunk than usual at the moment, and her eyes were completely blurred.

"A world where ghosts with good intentions can live in peace."

"Yes. But is there such a world?"

"I will." Kamiya nodded.

This may be the responsibility of the co-master of ghosts and gods.

Of course, his ideals are not so grand. When it comes to letting the Kaidans live in peace, the only figures that come to mind are the shikigami, the Kaidans at home, the craftsmen of Takamagahara, and the evergreen Crab Princess, Isohime, and Usamaru. Just waiting for someone.

None of these strange stories distrusted him and followed him.

Initially, Kamiyagawa may not have any clear reason for wanting to become the co-master of ghosts and gods.

Pursuing power and wanting to see a completely different side of the world, that's probably all. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the benefits thrown out by "Kaitan Monogatari" drove him to climb to the throne of God.

But now, it is different from the beginning.

"You are still as arrogant. You are not even the king of the world, but you can swear such beautiful words." Xingxiong shook his head with a smile, and a few strands of soft and bright blond hair dangled in her ears, "But... …But it’s hard to be annoying. Inujiro, you are very similar to Ishikuma.”

"Just think you're complimenting me. Speaking of which, is this what's on your mind?"

Kamiyakawa felt that Hoshikuma's temperament today was very different from usual.

It probably wasn't simply looking back on the past that made her so sentimental.

It always felt like something happened that affected her emotions.

"That's right, but there are others..."

"others?"

After Kamiya finished speaking, he didn't have time to ask in detail.

There was a sound from the gate of the mansion, the familiar sound of rattling iron chains.

Listen to this sound, it's the Golden Bear Boy.

Because I was drinking with Xing Xiong in the yard, the door was not closed and was completely open.

The two-horned male ghost outside strode straight in, and beside his tall body was a relatively petite unfamiliar figure.

Dressed in white, with a bright red silk strip wrapped around her waist, and a bunch of bells hanging from her waist, which rang with every step.

What followed the golden bear seemed to be a female ghost. With pink lips and bright eyes, her feminine, delicate and beautiful face has a natural charm.

The strange female ghost was wearing a white cloak with a hood attached to it, covering her head. The hood completely covered her ghost horns, only showing two bulges of fabric. Long white hair hangs out from it, tied loosely, and the strands of hair reflect the soft moonlight.

Seeing the golden bear and the female ghost in the white cloak come in, Star Bear Boy raised his hand and rubbed his temples, sighed, and stood up from the ground.

"Dog demon." Jin Xiong's attitude towards Kamiya was still bad, "You are a ghost general in the great rivers and mountains. Although you have only joined the army not long ago, you were not allowed to participate in the expansion and crusade campaign, but you have the merits of clearing the palace and resurrecting the souls of ghosts. …”

Expanding towards the surrounding areas seems to be a weak spot in the world.

After all, you can plunder loot and weird slaves as you like.

Jin Xiong did not arrange such an errand for Kamiya. He would only think of Kamiya when dealing with strange and fruitless tasks inside the palace like before.

Kamiya didn't speak. He sat on the ground and looked at the golden bear. Of course, he was mostly observing the timid female ghost in the white cloak.

Although she really showed "timidity", the seemingly natural charm on her face still existed, but it was even more obvious and made me feel a little pity for her.

"So according to the usual practice, you should be assigned a female ghost to serve you." Golden Bear said this, subconsciously turning his head to look at the white cloaked female ghost beside him, with a trace of uncertainty in his eyes, "This is captured from Wakasa Bay. The slave you have returned to is Tribulus Ji, and she will serve you from now on."

"ah……"

Kamiya opened his mouth weakly.

Isn't it?

Do you really want to send me a beautiful female ghost?

Look at the female ghost named Tribulus Ji.

Her feet were wearing white foot socks. The delicate and elastic stocking material tightly wrapped the instep and arch of the foot, and the flexible toes were exposed in the front.

The feet that were supposed to be nimble were restrained from the ankles by a pair of heavy shackles.

His hands were tightly cuffed by a pair of black metal shackles, and it seemed that he could only perform some relatively simple activities.

Being controlled so humiliatingly, maybe she really was a slave?

But Kamiyachuan felt that things were not that simple.

The attitudes of Star Bear Doji and Golden Bear Doji are very strange now. Although they have covered up to a certain extent, you can still feel the weird atmosphere.

Xingxiong, who was still drinking just now, suddenly stood up. Although it was just an action that did not require much attention, according to Kamiya's understanding of her, if it was just a visit from the Golden Bear, according to her character, she should go her own way without looking back. right.

There is also the domineering Golden Bear. His attitude towards Tribulus Ji is not like facing a slave whose life and death can be determined by his own thoughts.

In addition, Kamiya also noticed that Tribulus Ji's state was also very weird.

He actually couldn't see through the general strength of this female ghost. He just had a vague feeling that "she is probably quite weak".

But if it was really a weak monster, with Kamiyagawa's perceptual ability, he should be able to tell at a glance how much it weighed.

"The shackles seemed to cover up her original aura."

Kamiyagawa's attention shifted to Tribulus Ji's hand.

Her arms were covered by the wide and white cuffs of her cloak, and only the exposed wrists were firmly fixed by ferocious and exaggerated shackles.

The left hand is white and soft, with slender fingers. But her right hand was covered with bandages, and no exposed skin could be seen at all. The tightly wrapped bandages extended into her cuffs.

"Could this Tribulus Princess, whom I've never seen before, be Ibaraki Douji?"

Kamiyagawa's expression changes very wonderfully, alternately showing surprise, astonishment and speechlessness, but fortunately the [Oni's Leather Clothes] can cover up his facial features.

"Inujiro...sir."

Tribulus Ji spoke softly and saluted to Kamiya with some fear. The heavy and humiliating shackles on her body made her movements look very slow and clumsy.

Kamiyagawa:……

In my impression, the meaning of the word "Ibaraki" itself has the meaning of thorns and thorns.

no! Are you pretending to be too perfunctory?

It's a bit disrespectful to me. (End of chapter)
