I loaded the ghost talk game

In the wasteland that is suspected to be the former site of Tsuchimikado's mansion.

Kamiya River explored this barren land for a while, but found nothing additional. In this charred land, he could indeed feel the presence of extraordinary aura, but it was very weak.

It's so weak that most soul slayers probably won't notice it.

"If you just look at it this way, apart from being a little weird, there is absolutely nothing worth paying attention to or worthy of in-depth investigation into this place."

Kamiya stopped on the wasteland of the old site.

After thinking for a moment, he opened the [Mirage Cloth Bag] and took out all the items related to Yuanjie God inside.

Including the Ema of the God of Ebony, the red rope, and the small piece of bamboo slips.

When holding these three props in hand, the first thing to change was the bamboo slip.

It carbonized quickly and dropped rough-textured debris, which soon turned into a small handful of black ash in the palm of your hand.

At the same time, the wind blew across the charred and barren land.

The sound of the wind was shrill, like countless howls and shouts, echoing in this empty black land. Those dead particles of charred mud and sand were lifted up by the strong wind, forming black vortexes.

Those vortices were spinning and jumping, and the black particles that were carried into the air took shape in the wind.

The black wind and sand made it difficult to open one's eyes, but Kamiyagawa, who was in it, still saw it, and saw a gap in the space full of cracks suddenly opening.

Like a black eye opening, like a dark door opening, howling and roaring, attracting and swallowing up everything around it.

The piece of bamboo slips attached to Yuan Jie Shen Liu seems to be the "key" to open this place.

As for Kamiyagawa, who holds the "key", as the key holder to open this place, his figure holding a knife was quickly obscured by the black wind and sand in the sky.

And in this endless black that covers the sky and screams, there is a soft, inconspicuous red floating slightly.

The red rope of the God of Destiny.

This slender red rope moved on its own as if it were alive, and first passed through the "Ema of the Ebony God" with one end.

Then the other end of the red rope lingered around Kamiyagawa's waist.

On Kamiya's waist, a small pentagonal Ema has been hanging since a long time ago.

It's not the one who is bound to God.

The largest area on this Ema card is a hand-painted painting, showing a girl in a red and white miko costume with a smiling face and holding a fat orange cat in her hand.

On the left side of the Ema, in neat and graceful handwriting is written: [Congratulations on the New Year]

On the right is a line of small words——

[Wish: Kamiya River can always be safe. ]

This Ema was consecrated by Jujun Shrine and was given to Kamiyagawa by Onizuka Miko long ago.

After getting it, he regarded it as an amulet or decoration and carried it with him all the time.

The empty other end of the red rope of the God of Fate is strung on this New Year's Ema.

In this way, the ema painted by the god and the ema painted by the shrine maiden are connected together by a long red thread.

After a while, the violent wind and sand on the wasteland site finally subsided.

The flying mud and gravel fell back to the ground, and the figure of Kamiya River had also disappeared from this charred land.

Everything just now was as if it had never happened.

The old site of Tsuchimikado has returned to its original dead silence.

…

Kanagawa Prefecture, Juqiong Shrine.

Onizuka Kiriho ended her training and returned to her room.

Juqiong Shenzi is still not in a good mood. She is very worried about Granny Gu's recent physical condition.

"Sister Huali is still taking care of her mother-in-law. I should go to her mother-in-law's place again later."

She thought this and sat down on the chair in the room.

But the next second, Onizuka noticed something was wrong.

A strange aura suddenly filled the familiar room, and the space began to tremble. Everything in the line of sight shook, and all the furniture in the room began to become blurred and swayed into double images.

"What's going on here?"

Although he didn't know what was going on, Onizuka, who had the professional qualities of a spiritual exterminator, subconsciously quickly took out two talismans.

The Son of God twisted the yellow talisman tightly with his slender fingers.

In an instant, all the colors in the shaking space faded away, just like the scene on an old black and white TV.

But in such a colorless black and white world, there is a bright and soft red line floating and spreading, lingering around Onizuka.

It seemed to be a thin red rope.

One end of the red rope is connected to an unknown place, and the other end is connected to a small and delicate pentagonal painted horse.

This Ema looks very familiar.

Onizuka Kiriho saw his own handwriting on it——

[Wish: Kamiya River can always be safe. ]

"Is this...what I gave to Achuan?"

The next second, Juqiong Shenzi's room stabilized and returned to its original state.

Strictly speaking, nothing of note happened here at all.

About ten minutes later.

The door to the room was pushed open from the outside.

"Xiaoying, mother-in-law's side..." Fu Huali, wearing a Ni Yi uniform, walked in, "Huh? Aren't you here?"

Tomi Yi didn't see anything strange in Onizuka Kiriho's room.

"Strange, where did it go? Her mobile phone is still on the table."

Fu closed the door of the room again and went to look for Onizuka in other parts of the shrine.

…

"This place..."

Kamiyagawa, who was holding the Doji Kiriyatsuna, looked around cautiously.

After the bamboo slip that served as a "key" was activated at the former site of Tsuchimikado's mansion, he seemed to be transported to a strange place.

It was dark, damp, and depressing.

It is unclear whether it is underground or in a cave.

"Little old man."

As a habit, when exploring completely unfamiliar places, Kamiya would usually call out scouts to work together.

But after calling, the familiar figure did not appear immediately.

"Um?"

Realizing that something was wrong, Kamiya fumbled for the fuji bird bronze fitting where the little old man was resting, and looked at it carefully with his eyes narrowed.

It can be clearly felt that the scout's body is in the bronze match at this moment.

"He can't seem to get out."

Not quite right.

Twelve out of ten points are wrong.

"Mary." "Prajna."

"Dogzi?" "Little tapir?"

"Whale..." "Tengu..."

Kamiyagawa began to call the shikigami, but still received no response.

He could feel that the contract between the shikigami and him still existed, and he could feel that they were by his side.

However, it seems they can't show up here.

"There is a force in this place that restricts them from coming out. Is it the power of Tiantian Numing that affects this place, or is it the power of Yuanjie Shen? Or is it both?"

Kamiyagawa began to analyze the current situation.

Putting aside the other Aragami for now, Mary, who has become a god, is actually unable to appear here.

The place where Yuanjie Shen guided him to seemed a little unusual.

The current situation is somewhat similar to that of Takamagahara Shrine.

On Takamagahara, only recognized targets can appear and move.

Because Kamiyagawa is the owner of that sacred residence, and the shikigami who have a contract with him can probably be regarded as his subordinate gods. From this, they can move freely in that divine residence.

As for other ghost stories or gods, except for Suzuhiko Hime and the medicine seller who have a special connection with Takamagahara, they must hold a pass token to appear in Takamagahara.

And now the rules in this place seem to be even stricter than those in Gaotian Plain.

"Maybe it's not harsh... I am the current master of Gao Tianyuan, and I have the highest authority there. Even my shikigami can be related to Gao Tianyuan. But here I am just an outsider, which allows me to exist in the world. The vouchers and other things here...should be this, right?"

Kamiyagawa looked at his left hand.

In his hand he was holding the Ema of the God of Enkei.

The effect of this thing is probably similar to the Takamagahara Pass Token.

"There is no way to summon the shikigami... I have no clue yet. It seems that the difficulty of conquering this place is a bit high."

The shikigami cannot come out for the time being, and Kamiyagawa can only rely on his own strength to explore this unknown area.

At a certain moment, he was worried.

I wonder if I have entered the eternal world.

You know, ordinary people entering the ordinary world in the flesh will be hidden by gods.

Will be completely forgotten by this world.

Although the definition of ordinary people no longer applies to Kamiyagawa.

But he was still not sure whether he could now freely travel between the inner and outer worlds like the strange ghosts who visited him, without being affected by "Shenyin".

However, such concerns only existed for a short period of time.

"On the bamboo slip of Yuanjie God, it clearly says 'Beyond the Eternal World'. Well... I can't be sure of His intentions now. But according to my own judgment, if I take a closer look, this place doesn't look like the Eternal World either. "

Because he has rich experience in living in the ordinary world, Kamiyagawa is very familiar with the atmosphere of the other world where monsters and ghosts exist.

The place we are in now is a little different from the usual world.

Although I can't tell you exactly what's different, it's just not the same.

If I have to say it, the feeling of Kamiya River here seems more like the "Matsuze Village" that Xiaolu fell into last year.

Matsuzawa is not an ordinary person. Both Kamiya and Kanoya masters and apprentices have been there, but neither of them has been hidden by the gods.

Isn't there a "hidden area" in Eternal World?

Like Fu Sangxiang or something like that.

Although it is an area of ​​the other world, it is not connected to any other area and exists independently. It can only be entered through special methods.

The Matsuzawa before was somewhat like the "Hidden Area" in the real world.

"The Tsuchimikado Residence I'm in now, let's think of it as the Tsuchimikado Residence. Its properties are very likely to be similar to Matsuzawa. But to open up such a special hidden area in reality, it has to be a god. It can only be affected by special powers, right?"

"That side of Matsuzawa is Hiroko, and that side of Tsuchimikado's residence is Tenden no Mikoto or the God of Yueketsu."

It seems to be more responsive.

Kamiya tightened his grip on the Ema Ema in his hand and continued to observe the surroundings.

Although it was dark all around, he could still see everything clearly with his extremely sharp extraordinary vision.

Walking forward for some distance, you can see a huge five-pointed star array engraved on the ground.

The indented traces are ancient and regular.

Within the star array, the color was dark red, like blood that had dried for an unknown amount of time.

"Blood? There must have been some ceremony here..."

Directly in front of the five-pointed star array is a thick and moist rock wall.

Kamiyagawa saw what seemed to be the outline of a stone gate above.

The stone door, which looked extremely heavy, was tightly closed. In the center of the stone door, there is a circular groove with a diameter of about 20 centimeters.

There is an irregular fan-shaped copper mirror embedded in it, flickering and reflecting the faint light from nowhere.

"A complete bronze mirror should have been embedded in this place?"

Kamiya raised his hand and touched the circular groove, feeling the rough and cold rock on his fingertips.

He tried to push the stone door but couldn't.

On the one hand, this stone gate is extremely heavy, but more importantly, there seems to be an invisible and irresistible force attached to it.

Withdrawing his hand, Kamiyakawa was thoughtful.

He took out the Heavenly Tail Yu Zhang from the [Mirage Bag].

Holding the hilt of the sword in his hand, the three feather fragments attracted each other and connected in series to form a broken sword.

Kamiyagawa wanted to see if he could directly break the power attached to the stone gate through Yubari.

He swung the knife tentatively.

There was a bang.

Not only the closed stone door, but also the entire space where we are now is shaking violently, and the ancient and mysterious space atmosphere is shaking wildly.

"no."

Kamiyakawa stopped quickly.

After trying this knife, he almost made a decision.

Relying on the strength of the tail feathers of the sky, it seems that this stone door and the space here can be broken open forcefully.

But the consequences will be serious.

The entire Tsuchimikado mansion would probably collapse, and he would probably be completely trapped here, or worse.

"I seem to understand... The key to leaving the space of Tsuchimikado's mansion seems to be on this broken bronze mirror. I have to try to piece it together and stabilize the power here at Shimen, and then consider whether to remove this space Break open.”

Kamiya put away Tian's tail feathers for the time being.

He now felt that he should be in a cave, and he might have to look outside for other parts of the broken bronze mirror.

Just as Kamitani turned around and was about to leave.

The Fate God Ema in his hand suddenly moved, as if it was pulled twice by a relatively gentle force.

Looking at Ema again, I saw a slender red rope strung on it, looming.

"The red line connecting God?"

Although the red rope was wrapped around Ema, Kamiyagawa didn't notice its existence at all just now.

Now that it is revealed, you can see the red rope floating leisurely in the air, connecting to the stone door in a zigzag manner, and also passing directly through the bronze mirror fragment in the groove.

Tighten, then loosen.

There was once again a slight but urgent tugging sensation on the thin red rope floating in the air.

Kamiyakawa looked at the fragment of the bronze mirror on the stone door again, and his expression suddenly became astonished.

An inexplicable but extremely clear feeling passed through his heart.

He could feel what was on the other end of the red rope that passed through the bronze mirror:

"……firefly?"

"Yingying is on the other side of the stone gate!?" (End of this chapter)
