This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Beichuan Temple looked at Mou Chi Zhenshi, and Mou Chi Zhenshi also looked at Beichuan Temple.

There was no trace of panic on her face.

In fact, Mou Chi Zhenshi didn't need to be frightened, because what she said was the truth.

Yes.

From the beginning to now, what she said has nothing to hide from Beichuan Temple.

Since he wasn't lying, there was no need to panic.

She spoke again:

"Actually...in the past ten years or so, the members of Mou Chi's family who escaped from Mou Chi's family...the Zhu Zhiyin on their bodies has experienced a period of stagnation."

"Stagnation period?" Beichuanji waved his hand and motioned for Mouchi Zhenshi to continue.

"That's right. It's a stagnation period. During this period, Zhu Zhiyin did not continue to grow."

Mou Chi Zhenshi nodded, then she spread her hands and said with a serious expression: "When I grew up to the age of twenty, in fact, the 'Zhu Zhi Seal' did not appear on my wrist. When I really want to say that the 'Zhu Zhi Seal' appeared... That would have been last December...close to the New Year.”

"Last December... If Mr. Kitagawa has any recollection, he should know about that incident."

Mou Chi Zhenshi looked at Beichuan Temple seriously.

that matter?

Kitagawaji blinked.

Last December...close to the New Year... wasn't that the time when he was reborn?

...The time when Zhu Zhiyin started to absorb life force again... was so consistent with the time when he was reborn?

Is it a coincidence? Or...?

Beichuan Temple suppressed the unnecessary thoughts in his heart and signaled with a steady look to listen to Mou Chi Zhenshi to continue speaking.

"From the end of December last year to now, the number of weird and supernatural incidents has increased significantly. Doesn't Mr. Kitagawa know that?"

Mouchi Zhenshi's mind was spinning very fast, and when she saw Beichuan Temple's appearance, she couldn't help but ask.

"I started to carry out ghost removal activities in January this year. Of course I don't know what you are talking about."

Kitagawa Temple said calmly.

His overly calm tone made Mouchi Zhenshi unable to bear it any longer. She looked shocked and said:

"Just...just over half a year...Mr. Kitagawa has grown to this point?!"

"Um."

"Has anyone ever coached Mr. Beichuan on matters such as spirit removal before?"

Mou Chi Zhenshi asked again.

"No." Beichuan Temple shook his head upright.

If I have to say it, Beichuan Temple has an extra system.

In fact, with the addition of systems... it is normal for it to become like this in more than half a year and two months.

Beichuan Temple still remembers some of the online articles he had read before.

The male protagonist with the system directly meets gods and kills gods, meets Buddhas and kills Buddhas, and kills anyone he dislikes... Compared to them, his growth rate is already very slow.

"How can it be..."

Compared to Beichuan Temple who took it for granted, Mou Chi Zhenshi fell to the ground with a look of astonishment on his face.

Even if he possesses the Zhu Zhiyin, he can only reach this level after more than half a year. But a complete novice spirit remover like Beichuanji, who has no one to guide him...how can he become so powerful?

This is simply unimaginable.

Just when she was doubting her life, Beichuanji's voice rang again:

"Go on."

"Ah...ok." Mou Chi Zhenshi nodded: "In short, my Zhu Zhiyin slowly grew when the supernatural and weird events began to increase."

"After that, some people began to organize exploration into Mou Chi's home... But the final result was as I said before... they all disappeared into the dense mansion complex. My parents also... .”

Having said this, Mou Chi Zhenshi stopped talking.

But the content of her words attracted Beichuan Temple.

Because Beichuan Temple traveled into the body of this 'Beichuan Temple' in January, he has no memory of what happened before.

Therefore, Kitagawa Temple has always believed that Japan in this world has such supernatural and weird events happening frequently.

When I first traveled through time... Beichuan Temple didn't have death energy yet, so I could only rely on the talismans given by the system to solve the Hanged Girl at home, the ghosts in the mirror, and the squirming pieces of meat in the restaurant to gain skill points... Originally, Kitagawaji thought that Japan in this world was like that.

But--

That doesn't seem to be the case now.

According to Mushi Mouchi, after she traveled through time, the weird and supernatural things in Japan seemed to start to become restless.

It seems inappropriate to treat these things as mere coincidences.

Could it be that he is the Shinigami high school student? These things happen when you travel to this world?

While Beichuan Temple was thinking, Mouchi Zhenshi had already sorted out his mood and continued to talk:

"The fact that Zhu Zhiyin absorbs vitality and that weird and supernatural events have increased significantly... Our Mouchi family, as a family that maintains the world and the hidden world, has certainly noticed it. Based on the above conditions... we have come to a result—— "

Mou Chi Zhenshi's voice paused:

"Perhaps Miko Mouchi did something in the underworld."

"It may be that sacrifices were carried out in the underworld, or it may be suppressed... In short, because the methods that Miko Mouchi once left in the underworld gradually became ineffective over the years... This also led to the inability of both the hidden world and the real world to To maintain the balance, weird and supernatural events begin to pop up.”

Mou Chi Zhenshi looked at Beichuan Temple: "And the Zhu Zhiyin of our Mou Chi family may be related to the method left by the Mou Chi witch. Only if the same thing is done again, the curse of Zhu Zhiyin will enter the stagnation stage again. Zhu Zhiyin The reason why it appears must be equivalent to a warning signal."

"This is a sign that the balance between the real world and the hidden world can no longer be maintained."

She stroked the Zhu Zhiyin on her wrist with a steady gaze.

"In the final analysis, this is the speculation of the Mouchi family, and there is no actual evidence. It is precisely for this reason that the Mouchi family wants to find the Mouchi witch... It is said that the only way to find the Mouchi witch...Mou Chi Only then can the Chi family continue to maintain its mission.”

When she said this, Mou Chi Zhenshi had already tightly grasped her collar, showing an expression that wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

"Mr. Kitagawa asked me earlier, right? Why are you and Miss Future asked to leave Kagoshima Prefecture...leave Mou Chi's family? That's because——"

Mouchi Zhenshi took a deep breath, and no longer looked dignified and elegant as before, and shouted:

"What about the glory of the Mouchi family! The mission of the Mouchi family! I don't even want to abide by it! What does that kind of thing have to do with me!?"

She covered her face, her shoulders shook slightly, and tears fell from the gaps between her fingers.

"I just want... I just want to stay with my parents... live... that's all. The head of the Mouchi family... I don't want to be... I just want to stay with my parents. Just together."

Beichuan Temple has nothing to say.

This is what Mou Chi Zhenshi is thinking.

She just wanted to stay with her parents, but because of the Mou Chi family's "mission", her parents died in the Mou Chi family, which became the "soul-binding place".

All this is because of the Mou Chi family's mission.

This is probably the reason why Mou Chi Zhenshi said what he said when he saw Beichuan Temple for the first time.

'The duty of fishermen is to fish, and the duty of ferrymen is to ferry people across the river... Some people think that is their duty and what they should do...'

‘But in fact, they do these things just to survive by fishing and ferrying people across rivers to make money...Essentially, they just do it to survive. ’

The same is true for the Mou Chi family.

The duty of the Mouchi family is to maintain the balance between the real world and the hidden world.

"But I don't want to maintain the balance between the real world and the hidden world at all! I just want to be with the person I want to be with! Why...why does this kind of thing happen to me...?"

Mou Chi Zhenshi had no intention of suppressing his voice.

It was precisely because she was at Nakajima's house that she could scream like this.

She is said to be the head of the Mou Chi family, but in fact she is only in her twenties now, and she is still at an age where she likes to cry.

The reason why she wanted Kitagawaji and Kamiya Mirai to leave Kagoshima Prefecture was also very simple.

This is her small resistance to the Mou Chi family...even if this small resistance will eventually lead to her vitality being absorbed by Zhu Zhiyin.

but--

"Unfortunately, Mirai and I have no intention of leaving Kagoshima Prefecture."

Beichuanji shook his head.

Yes, he and Mirai Kamiya have no intention of leaving Kagoshima Prefecture.

Because the vermilion seal has already begun to appear on Kamiya Mirai's wrist. Perhaps this is the special nature of the Green Stone of Disaster. There is no need to wait until the age of twenty. As long as the 'Blue Stone of Disaster' is used, the vermilion seal will appear naturally. .

Zhu Zhiyin...

No matter what, the Zhu Zhi Seal on Kamiya Mirai's wrist must be resolved.

For this reason, it seems that we have to go into Mou Chi's home, which has been transformed into a soul-binding place, to search for the classics about Zhu Zhiyin.

If you can't find anything related to Zhu Zhiyin, you might have to enter the underworld again.

Those two places are both difficult to get along with...

Especially Huang Quan.

What on earth is that place? What else is hidden...?

To be honest, Beichuan Temple didn't know.

But looking at the cautious attitude towards Huangquan in places such as Shenzhu Village, Yihui Island, Sifang Family, and Mou Chi Family is enough to explain a lot.

Instinct told him that this incident was far greater than any usual incident.

"You've already said this... but you still want to go to Mou Chi's house?"

Mouchi Zhenshi raised his head and looked at Beichuan Temple in disbelief.

But she quickly reacted: "I understand, the Mouchi witch also has symptoms of Zhu Zhiyin, right? Otherwise, a person with your personality would wait until this matter is resolved before coming to Lu'er again. Island County.”

"Instead of minding my business... it's almost time for you to go back to Mou Chi's house."

Beichuan Temple did not look at Mou Chi Zhenshi, and continued in a calm tone: "If I can get Zhu Zhiyin's solution, it will be good for you."

"Is it good for me too?"

Mou Chi Zhenshi laughed dryly and said with a despairing tone: "My parents are gone... I am the only one living in this world..."

Everyone in the family looked at her in awe.

Let her take care of everything up and down.

This unspeakable feeling of loneliness made her unable to bear the pressure for a while, but——

"For your aunt, you have to keep working hard."

Beichuan Temple's voice rang out at the right time.

He stood up, his tone unchanged: "Mou Chi Qingluo has always been by your side. She is no less sad than you are. At least more than ten years ago, she was only twenty years old."

"..." Mou Chi Zhenshi.

Twenty-year-old Aunt Qingluo... lost her father and mother since then...

What did she do at that time?

And what do you do now?

Mou Chi Zhenshi wiped away her tears, straightened her clothes again, and finally stood up:

"Mr. Beichuan, I hope you can return smoothly... and be able to solve the fate of our Mou Chi family. Zhu Zhiyin will definitely not be unable to solve it... As long as we find that method... I believe you and Miss Future can continue Live in peace."

She bowed deeply.

Then he opened the Japanese-style sliding door and left with small steps.

Feeling the sound of her retreating footsteps, Beichuanji couldn't help but rub his temples.

No matter what, the information she just said is really amazing.

The first is the issue of balance between the present world and the hidden world.

The recent spate of strange stories and supernatural incidents turns out to be for this reason.

No wonder Tokyo has established a special countermeasures organization.

If this continues, other places will sooner or later establish these corresponding processing departments, right?

The second thing is about the ‘Zhu Seal’ on Kamiya Mirai’s wrist.

The mark that will absorb the human body's vitality... Although Kamiya Mirai's wrist has not yet appeared, there are already signs of its appearance.

If this continues...

Kitagawaji sat down thinking about it. Behind him, Asamiya Nagai walked up gently and rubbed his shoulders, trying to make him relax a little.

In addition to the two questions just mentioned, there is one last question.

That's the problem with Kitagawaji's time traveling into this world.

The time he traveled through happened to be the time when Zhu Zhiyin and weird and supernatural events were swarming.

Since the statistics were compiled by a family like the Mou Chi family, there should be no errors in the data.

So is his time in time related to the supernatural and weird events?

"At least things that I thought were natural at first...are now contradictory."

Kitagawaji flicked his fingers and murmured to himself.

Was the foreshadowing laid from the beginning?

These...maybe they can be answered in this time of Mou Chi's Soul Binding Place.

But even if the answer cannot be obtained, everything must be based on the future safety of Kamiya.

Beichuan Temple looked seriously.

Yes... Instead of pursuing the truth behind the matter, it is better to protect the person you want to protect first.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple raised his head and looked at the Japanese sliding door:

"What do you think? Miss Kamiya Mirai has been hiding behind the door and eavesdropping?"

quiet--

The air became quiet for a moment.

Asamiya Eisei looked at Lamen.

Kamizaki Maki looked towards the sliding door.

Nishikujo looked pitifully at the sliding door.

Under these gazes...

The Japanese-style sliding door was opened stiffly.

Then a little girl with a smile on her face walked out from behind.

"Hehe...Tera-kun...and Eisei, Miss Makie...poor sister. Um...good afternoon?"

she said as she spoke.

He also blinked his eyes.

Looks kinda cute.

Happy New Year!
