Truth is everywhere within range

I saw Nanase in a trance early on.

Everything on the stall had a magic that fascinated her.

Even things she didn't recognize at all seemed to shine.

"I"

Hayami Nanase stretched out her hand to the things on the table.

Memories of the past came to mind, but they seemed to be blurred by something and became no longer clear.

There is a feeling that something is about to leave you.

This premonition became stronger and stronger as he stretched out his hand.

Even though his will prevented him from doing so, Hayami Nanase still couldn't stop.

That's when she put her hand on the old phone.

Snapped--

One hand grabbed Hayami Nanase's wrist.

Ding--

Consciousness suddenly returned, and Hayami Nanase looked around him.

It's Qiao Qiao.

"."

The man selling things was stunned, and immediately asked Qiao Qiao again.

"Want to buy something?"

Through Qiao Qiao's pupils, Hayami Nanase saw the reflection inside change in an instant.

But in less than a second, Qiao Qiao blinked and spoke.

"EPIC-A1 induction powered rifle combat unit. I have always wanted to try this electromagnetic acceleration weapon, but the boss said there is no purchase channel. I wonder if you have one here?"

"?"

The man selling things was stunned.

Qiao Qiao raised his right hand.

In his hand was a long-barreled revolver.

"Are you Wu Lianfang?"

Qiao Qiao loaded the bullet and said coldly.

The faceless temple is a legendary monster in Aomori Prefecture.

Legend has it that this strange creature has the appearance of a human, but has only one face and no facial features.

But the Faceless Fang will imitate the appearance of humans. Once the Faceless Fang's imitation of humans exceeds its own body, it will kill the human and take his place.

Nowadays, at the market in Kamogawa, what Wulianfang does is quite modern.

It steals people's memories and arranges them.

If people choose one thing, they will lose the memory of other things.

And if you choose nothing, Wulianfang will give you a curse to induce other people to choose.

After accumulating enough memories, Wulianfang will have a human existence.

It's just such a weird thing.

It can be said to be a weird thing that steals memories.

"I took everything they didn't want."

Wu Mianfang's featureless face remained calm, but Hayami Nanase noticed that the appearance of the things in the stall began to change.

From various exquisite and beautiful small objects, they turned into ugly things mixed with yin energy and sticky black mud.

The old mobile phone that her hand was originally reaching for also turned into a stone full of eyeballs.

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

Qiao Qiao didn't have any emotional fluctuations.

"This is a busy city, you can't"

Wu Lianfang hasn't finished speaking yet.

Qiao Qiao had already fired.

Bang——

The fragments of the explosive bomb carried spiritual power, hit the Wulianfang stall, and penetrated its body.

The featureless face suddenly disappeared, turning into a terrifying appearance without facial features.

Sizzling——

Where it came into contact with the shrapnel, white gas came out.

Is there something wrong with this guy's brain?

Wu Lianfang thought.

It’s okay to perform the exorcism in a busy market with people coming and going.

He even fired? ? ?

Wait, gun?

Before Wu Lianfang could regain consciousness, Qiao Qiao fired again.

Bang bang bang bang——

Four shots were fired in a row. While Wu Lian Fang's stall was shattered and evaporated, the huge impact also made Wu Lian Fang, who was covered in bullets, take several steps back.

?

It was only then that Wulianfang discovered something.

What a lively market.

What kind of people come and go.

There is no one else around him!

Enchantment? Illusion?

While thinking, it prepared to escape.

But the body refused to obey.

His thinking became sluggish and his movements stopped like a puppet.

In despair, Mufacebo saw a man wearing an ordinary kimono.

"It's rare for a friend's disciple to ask me for help, so I can't help but show off."

He is the owner of Cat Ramen.

"Are you... the most ferocious and evil spirit slayer in Kyoto who scares even monsters?"

"Stop it."

The boss snapped his fingers.

Wu Lian Fang immediately stopped making any moves.

The entire monster turned into an existence as thick as a piece of paper. Then, it was folded up and transformed into a paper crane, which fell into the palm of the boss's hand.

"I almost made people hear bad things, haha."

The boss smiled and put away the paper crane without any emotion.

"As expected of the boss's friend."

Qiao Qiao sighed with emotion.

Just now, five explosive rounds of mine were unable to make Wu Lianfang lose its combat effectiveness. Unexpectedly, the boss of Neko Ramen could solve it with just a snap of his fingers.

Moreover, the style of painting is weird and wonderful, exactly the style of a spiritual master that Qiao Qiao yearns for.

"It's been too long since I've exercised."

The owner of Neko Ramen snapped his fingers again.

The surrounding scenery suddenly turned into flat, painting-like things and folded up.

The sounds of people, the bustling market, and the quietly flowing Kamogawa River returned to reality.

Haomi Nanase felt this wonderful change, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that he was already standing at the door of Neko Ramen.

It turns out that the spiritual master is so powerful?

Hayami Nanase originally thought that a spirit exorcist would use spiritual water or a bow's spiritual arrows to exorcise spirits.

As for Qiao Qiao's too rough spirit-removing technique, Hayami Nanase didn't think it was a real spirit-removing technique.

But now I see the cat ramen boss’s spirit-killing skills.

Nanase was convinced early on.

In my heart, I couldn't help but feel longing.

"The ability to manipulate memes?"

Qiao Qiao murmured to himself.

Although Qiao Qiao asked his boss for help before leaving Cat Ramen, he never expected that his boss had such a level of meme manipulation ability.

If Qiao Qiao hadn't known about it in advance, he might have been deceived by the change in the scene.

Yes, what the boss just demonstrated is the ability to control memes.

However, the usage of abilities and the types of changes are far from comparable to the weirdness Qiao Qiao has encountered before.

"However, that guy really took on a good disciple."

The owner of Cat Ramen looked at Qiao Qiao and was quite pleased.

"It's a pity that I have decided not to accept any more disciples, otherwise I could just accept one for fun."

Have fun?

This verb seems a bit wrong.

Hayami Nanase thought.

"In this case, why not accept this person as your disciple?"

Qiao Qiao patted Hayami Nanase's shoulder and pushed her a step forward.

"Although her spiritual power is not strong, she is still very talented in controlling information."

"Huh?"

Seeing that Nanase was at a loss for a moment.

Are you helping yourself?

"No, it's too much trouble to teach people."

The owner of Neko Ramen hung the paper crane that Wufacebo had turned into on the original string. With a wave of his hand, the entire Neko Ramen automatically folded up like an origami toy, and finally turned into a small paper model. , was pocketed by the boss

"However, if you want to help and listen to me tell you stories about ghost removal, I'm always welcome."

He smiled and waved goodbye.

I saw that Nanase was still a little bit unconscious, but it was only at this moment that he suddenly realized.

"Before the cat ramen boss teaches you, how about you take a look at the information I have here?"

Qiao Qiao looked at Hayami Nanase and asked.

It is really difficult for Hayami Nanase to learn the boss's spirit-removing techniques in a short time. In order to cope with the Gion Festival, she must first be taught some simple self-defense and spirit-removing techniques.

The girl who was addicted to her cell phone nodded weakly but surely.

So, there are two.
