This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

Summoning ceremony.

Generally speaking, Beichuan Temple will not take the initiative to do this kind of game, only at specific times like now, it will take the initiative to perform this kind of ceremony.

"Hey, do we really want to go there?" Naoya Seki and Kazuto Ikegami looked at the text message on the phone, shaking uncontrollably.

The content of the newsletter is very simple -

‘About the method of holding the apartment in the mirror of the summoning game, I also want to ask you, wait for me at the school gate after class. '

Note is the big devil.

That is the Great Demon King of Beichuan!

"Do you think we have a choice?" Seki Naoya asked with a helpless expression while covering her face.

"..." Ikegami and Shu.

Well, he really didn't think about it.

Because the one who called them was the Great Demon King of Beichuan, and they had no chance of resisting from the very beginning.

The two looked at each other, sighed deeply, and could only accept their fate temporarily.

In fact, the Great Demon King Beichuan is also their savior, they should respect each other more, but yesterday they dreamed that their minds were full of the figure of Beichuan Temple waving the steel pipe.

The wailing of the wraith and the tragic death made them feel chills all over their bodies now.

They even felt that they had begun to have some psychological shadows facing Beichuan Temple.

The afternoon classes passed quickly.

After all, Jingbei High School only had two classes in the afternoon.

Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki never expected the course to go slower.

But no matter how much they pray, the time will come.

"Brother Beichuan!"

They saw Beichuan Temple standing at the gate of the school carrying a bag from a distance, and then ran over pretending to be happy.

In fact, they deliberately slowed down, wanting to see if Beichuan Temple would go home alone first.

But it's clear that their last fluke has also come to naught.

"Have you been kept waiting, Brother Beichuan?" Ikegami Kazuki asked nervously.

Beichuan Temple shook his head and replied, "I just arrived too."

Then he said:

"Let's go."

With that said, Beichuan Temple turned and walked out.

Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki hurriedly followed after seeing this.

According to the requirements of the ghost story in "The Apartment in the Mirror", it is necessary to find an abandoned apartment building, but fortunately, the longhouse apartment yesterday was available, so Beichuan Temple didn't have to bother to find any abandoned apartment buildings.

The three got on the tram to Taito District. On the tram, Naoya Seki and Kazuki Ikegami asked, "Brother Beichuan wants to know the specific implementation method of the spirit summoning game in the apartment in the mirror, right?"

"That's right, that's why I called you here."

"Then if that's the case, we don't need to go, right? Naoya and I still have some things to do." Ikegami and Shugan coughed twice, looked away guiltily and said, "Seki and I can tell you the specific measures. You can go alone."

Um?

Beichuan Temple seemed to have reacted, and he raised his head thoughtfully: "You... seem to be afraid of me?"

Hearing these words, Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki's instinctive expressions changed, and the two of them began to tremble, and their voices trembled even more.

"No, no! Not at all! How could we be afraid of such amiable Brother Beichuan!?"

"Really?" Beichuan Temple continued: "In that case, you two should go to the spiritual realm with me again."

Well--

As soon as this sentence was said, Seki Naoya and the others not only trembled, they almost knelt down.

"I'm joking." Beichuan Temple looked away.

Not to mention that there was no reason to bring Seki Naoya and the others, even if they were brought, they would only be a hindrance.

That being the case, it would be better for him to go to the spiritual realm alone.

"Just kidding."

Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki almost didn't even jump out of their hearts.

The tram drove towards Taito District with the three people who had different thoughts.

After nearly fifteen minutes, the three arrived in Taito District.

Beichuan Temple was not in a hurry to go to the longhouse apartment yesterday.

He decided to look at the situation after eating first.

Because according to Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki, the ceremony must be held at seven or eight o'clock.

There is still some time before seven or eight o'clock, so it's better to have a meal before going.

After the three of them ate, the night slowly fell.

Beichuan Temple took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time on it.

The current time is around 7:40, and it doesn't take long to walk from here, so it should meet the conditions for the ceremony.

The three re-entered the longhouse.

Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki were a little scared, sticking tightly behind Beichuan Temple, for fear that some monsters and ghosts would be thrown from the dilapidated longhouse.

Compared to the fear and fear of the two of them, Beichuan Temple strode forward without fear.

The three found an empty room and began to decorate.

A small round mirror is placed in the middle, and candles are scattered around it.

The flickering candlelight of the white flower candle has an inexplicable sense of aura and eerieness.

"Next, Big Brother Beichuan sits down again and looks in the mirror, and you can see another world in the mirror... That's what we did yesterday, and we suddenly entered it."

Seki Naoya stood behind Kitagawa Temple and explained as simply as possible.

After Beichuan Temple listened, he sat down on the wooden floor without saying a word.

His black eyes looked slowly into the mirror.

There seemed to be some strange noise in the air, as if someone was stepping on a dead branch downstairs, making a crisp sound.

Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki trembled.

They inexplicably felt the air around them turn cold.

A gloomy atmosphere spreads all around.

Beichuan Temple finally faced the mirror completely.

In the mirror—

Beichuan Temple was looking coldly at himself outside the mirror.

The air seemed to return to silence, and the eerie atmosphere faded away like a tide.

Beichuan Temple's eyes were entwined with death energy, and he didn't see any resentment.

It's as if the apartment is just an ordinary abandoned apartment.

"After suffering a loss once, don't you want to be fooled again?"

Beichuan Temple stood up from the ground without much surprise in his heart.

The two sides are full of contrasts.

Although he failed to enter the spiritual domain this time, it also shows from the side that the things in the spiritual domain are still afraid of him, otherwise there is no need to avoid him at all.

And maybe the living beings that the spiritual domain can accommodate at one time are also particular.

Kitagawa Temple silently considered various possibilities, and did not talk to Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki for a while.

On the other side, Seki Naoya and Ikegami Kazuki huddled together to keep warm.

 …

Failed to enter the spiritual domain.

This was beyond Beichuan Temple's expectations.

After all, everything cannot go smoothly.

Small episodes like this in investigations are also normal.

But if you can't enter the spiritual domain to investigate, how can you find out what happened in Nakanojo Town?

Beichuan Temple thought of someone.

That person... must be able to give himself some answers, or inspiration.

Thinking of this, Beichuan Temple stopped and looked at the building in front of him.

This is an izakaya with dark blue fabrics as curtains, and small red lanterns hanging outside, showing a lively feeling.

Without saying a word, Beichuan Temple got into the hanging curtain and entered the izakaya.

This izakaya is not much different from most izakayas.

Starting from Beichuan Temple, the tung oil wood aisle extends forward, and the middle-aged owner in black cooking clothes is busy at the cooking counter.

On both sides of the tung oil wood aisle, there are separate tatami mats. Small tables are placed on top of the tatami, and guests sit on the small latticed tatami separated by a low partition wall.

On these walls, there are also colored paper and menu items.

Several waiters in navy blue overalls are responsible for serving and removing dishes, and they are busy now.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening, it is now the peak period of passenger flow.

Living in a big city like Tokyo, people will always accumulate various pressures. Of course, many people choose to drink to relieve their pressure.

This is not the first time that Beichuan Temple has come to an izakaya, but it is the first time that Beichuan Temple has seen such a hot situation.

The person he was looking for—

"Boy Beichuan."

Yoshiko Okano, who was sitting in a corner, waved to him.

To be honest, it is still rare for a single woman like her to come to an izakaya. Yoshiko Okano is still a beauty, and I think many people will come to strike up a conversation on this kind of night.

On the small round table in front of Yoshiko Okano, there was a sake bottle and a small wine cup beside it.

In addition to drinking, there are some chicken barbecue skewers in front of her, presumably for appetizers.

Beichuan Temple sat down and put his schoolbag aside.

"If you have anything to say, just talk about it." Okano Yoshiko picked up a chicken barbecue skewer and said while eating: "Don't disturb me for a drink."

For this woman, it seems that she can't quit smoking and alcohol at all.

Beichuan Temple didn't like pointing fingers at her, he asked directly:

"I want to ask Ryoko if there have been any strange cases in Nakanojo Town."

"Nakanojo Town...? Nakanojo Town, Gunma Prefecture..."

Okano Ryoko took a sip of the wine, but her eyes were not half drunk from the sake, but became more and more shining: "If you want to ask me this question, I can only tell you, I don't know, after all, the horses I don’t control the town of the prefectural town..."

"Yeah?"

After hearing this sentence, Beichuan Temple stood up and picked up his schoolbag: "Then I will take my leave."

Um? ! ! !

Okano Yoshiko opened his mouth, and then cursed angrily and amusedly: "You brat who doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles! I haven't finished my sentence yet!"

"Didn't you say it? That side is not under your jurisdiction, and you don't know the specific situation there."

Beichuan Temple asked back as a matter of course.

"That's what you said." Okano Yoshiko curled her lips, drank the sake in her hand in one last gulp, and said a little uncomfortable: "Although I don't know, I have seniors I know in Gunma County! And even if there is no senior, I can check the file over there. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

Beichuan Temple sat down again.

Looking at him like that, Okano Yoshiko couldn't help itching his teeth, and wanted to complain about him, but thinking that he usually took too much care of him, he suppressed the complaints in his heart.

"Anyway, let me ask you first, are there any specific conditions for the 'strange case' you mentioned?" Yoshiko Okano asked while chewing two pieces of gum.

"The extermination case happened in the apartment." Beichuan Temple said.

"The murder case happened in the apartment..." Yoshiko Okano took out the phone and found a name on it with a swipe of her finger.

"Hello? Is it Senior Asuka? Ah...um...haha, it's been a long time since I called to say hello."

Yoshiko Okano skillfully began to exchange pleasantries, and when the conversation was about the same, she asked, "That is to say, has there been a strange case in Nakanojo City? Uh... the detailed condition is the Miemon that once happened in the apartment. case."

"Hmm, I'm sorry to trouble you, thank you very much—haha, next time I'll go over and find you for a drink."

Okano Yoshiko slapped twice and hung up the phone.

She spit the gum into the napkin, then took another chicken skewer and replied, "I've already done what you said, but boy Beichuan, why are you suddenly interested in these things?"

Okano Yoshiko knows what kind of character Beichuan Temple is. If it is not related to some supernatural events, he will basically not take the initiative to ask him.

"Recently there is a very popular spooky talk game, the name of this game is 'Mirror Apartment'..."

Facing Ryoko Okano, Beichuan Temple had no intention of hiding anything, because the other party was considered to be in the same boat as him. It wouldn't do any good to hide it from her.

"To sum up, four people have encountered ghosts yesterday. If things go on for a long time, I estimate that there will be more and more missing people."

"...is this still happening?"

Okano Ryoko was a little dazed, then she ate all the kebabs and called someone again.

It roughly means to block the channels of spreading the strange talk game about the "mirror apartment" on the Internet, and clean up all the posts on the Internet.

After Okano Yoshiko hung up the phone, Beichuan Temple raised his head and asked, "Is it all right?"

"Does it matter?" Okano Ryoko wiped her mouth.

"It doesn't matter if you just use manpower and material resources to do this kind of thing?"

"Hmph! This is my mother's trust in you!"

Okano Yoshiko curled her lips: "Although you look like a stinky fart and don't listen to your sister at all, but after working with you so many times, I can figure out your kid's urination."

Yes, although Beichuan Temple has a bad personality, he is still a very good young man in essence. Yoshiko Okano doesn't talk about it, but he actually likes his character that doesn't like words and only pays attention to actions.

According to Okano Yoshiko's character, it is of course impossible to say these words in front of Beichuan Temple, and there is no problem with such cryptic expressions.

"Yes." Beichuan Temple lifted the shoulder strap of the schoolbag again: "If there is any news tomorrow, I will still come to you."

"...Okay, high school students like you should go home and go to sleep, and I will notify you when the time comes."

Okano Yoshiko waved his hand funny.

The tacit understanding between the two——

It has long been unnecessary to express in words.

Thanks to Star Trace and Rebirth Tokyo Master for their rewards. Thank you so much.
