Chapter 50 Scouts and Intelligence
Seeing Kamiyagawa's puzzled and speechless expression, the little old man became a little anxious, and waved his hands more vigorously.
Then, using that strange running posture, he sprinted to the side of the shimmering shrine on the side of the road.
"Abba!"
The little old man climbed up the lifeless tin figure with difficulty, then pointed to the metal statue beneath him, then to himself, and finally to Kamiyagawa.
The dry old face was full of anticipation.
Kamiyagawa: ...
It seems that I understand a little bit what he means, but not completely.
hum.
Mobile phone vibration.
[Your character has acquired a new status. ]
【Little old man's heart of servant】
[Look what the old man saw? A statue of a god! Could it be that Master Onmyoji, who hasn't appeared in this world for nearly a thousand years, has returned! ]
[This is an opportunity, old man's opportunity. By relying on this lord, you will have the opportunity to grow into a powerful monster! No one dares to underestimate the old man anymore. ]
[Young Master Onmyoji, this old man will serve you as the master. ]
[Owner! ]
Kamiyagawa finished reading the new entry with a black line, clicked the screen, and there was a new text behind it——
[The little old man hopes to conclude a contract with you and become your shikigami for your driving and assistance. ]
Kamiyagawa: ...
These are some shaking M declarations.
According to the real-time voice translation provided by the game text, Kamiyagawa understood the little old man's thoughts completely: "Do you want to be my shikigami?"
"Ababa!"
The little old man sitting on the tin figure nodded desperately.
Although this thing can't speak human language, it seems to be able to fully understand human language.
Kamiyagawa pressed the upper row of teeth against the thumb joint of his right hand: "There is a strange story about wanting to become a shikigami on your own initiative?"
It feels quite interesting.
However, I refuse.
With this little old man in front of him, I feel that even the mass-produced monster Xiqi Boy in Hualing Ghost School can kill him randomly.
What's the use of contracting this thing into a shikigami, as a mascot?
"Sorry, I can't promise you."
Kamiyagawa shook his head at the little old man, and refused cleanly, while the latter drooped a pair of short hands in frustration.
However, after a while, this little strange talk seemed to pick himself up again, and started to say something with a wave of his hand and "chili gua la".
Of course, Kamiyagawa didn't understand a word.
[The little old man believes that being a shikigami is not enough for friendship, and you can still do business. He intends to provide you with help in another way. ]
[The little old man can't engage in combat, but he is extremely good at hiding his tracks and scouting for information. He hopes to make a deal with you, pay 100 soul crystals, and he will tell you all the important information he can find in Inunaki Pass. ]
[Do you want to pay 100 soul crystals? ]
[whether]
Looking at the texts that kept popping up on the phone screen, the corners of Kamiyagawa's eyes twitched twice:
"What about the heart of serving the master that you promised? Is it okay to collect money from your master?"
Looking at the current development, after rejecting the little old man's request to become a shikigami, this little strange story seems to have become an NPC selling information.
By paying the soul crystal, in exchange for information from him.
"So, if I agree to turn the little old man into a shikigami, his role is probably the same as it is now, an intelligence-gathering scout?"
If this is the case, Kamiyagawa thinks that there is nothing wrong with the judgment he just rejected.
If you can buy information with money, why waste the precious initial shikigami slot?
As a co-lord of ghosts and gods in the growth stage, the last thing Kamiyagawa will lack is money.
After all, whenever a strange story dies around him, a certain number of soul crystals will explode and be automatically settled on him.
In the world of ghost stories, Kamiyagawa is simply a walking money-printing machine.
After brushing out from the Hualing School in Xinshou Village, there are about 600 soul crystals on Kamiyagawa's body.
A small part of them was fortunately saved by the Gaxiqi boys in the early stage.
The rest are all windfalls, which came out after Mary retired and cured the restroom family including Hanako. Anyway, it was all cheap for Kamiyagawa in the end.
"I have a lot if I want money, and it's not impossible to spend a wave of information."
"It's just... I learned a full set of swordsmanship in Xinshou Village, and it only costs 100 soul crystals, and I also provide high-quality after-sales service. Buying some information here costs 100 soul crystals. I always feel that I have given this little old man a trick."
Kamiyagawa clicked the [Yes] button.
In any case, if it is accurate and time-sensitive news, it is indeed worth starting with.
100 soul crystals are consumed.
A faint black ghostly aura rose from the little old man's body, and disappeared after a while.
Excitedly, he jumped down from the tin figurine, picked up a small stone from the side of the road, pushed it against his chest, and began to write and draw on the ground.
"Can this thing write?" Shen Guchuan leaned over curiously, "Then just now I was wow-chatting with me for so long..."
After a few minutes, the little old man finished writing and drawing, dropped the stone, and sat down on the ground panting.
The handwriting on the ground is crooked, crawling like earthworms, extremely ugly, but if you try hard to decipher, you can still see what is written——
"The powerful strange story, the earth-bound spirit, and the white car went to another world, probably near the tunnel."
"A powerful strange story, an ugly old woman, who ran very fast and went to another world, on the highway."
Kamiyagawa took a lot of effort to rearrange and combine the words that the little old man left on the ground before he could barely read:
"The powerful strange story of going to another world, does it refer to the foreign visitor? The ground binding spirit related to the white car is near the tunnel; the ugly old woman who runs very fast is on the highway."
If these two spirits are alien visitors, it would indeed conform to the hint given by the game mission.
"Is there nothing else?" After reading two sentences, Kamiyagawa looked at the little old man beside him.
This is the end?
Just charge a dollar for two small pieces of information?
Is money a little too easy to make?
"Abba whimpering."
With Kamiyagawa's questioning eyes in front of him, the little old man waved his hands again and again, screamed strangely for a while, and then made a few unexplained gestures. Then it turned into a faint black ghost aura on the spot and disappeared.
hum.
[The little old man is about to start searching for information in the Inunaki Pass area, and if he finds anything, he will bring the information back to Kamikazu. ]
Kamiyagawa: ...
What a traveling frog.
Seeing that the scouts he paid for had gone to work, Kamiyagawa was not idle, picked up the [blood-stained hatchet] and started the initial exploration of the new map.
The route he chose was the rear.
Along the deserted small road, go all the way to the outside of Quanming Mountain.
Because it is likely to enter the legendary Quanming Village after passing through the Quanming Tunnel, it is probably safer to walk outwards from the rear.
Let's see what's there first.
