Chapter 58: The Clever Little Witch
Kanagawa Prefecture.
Juqiong Shrine at night.
Cicadas sing and fireflies dance, and the cool breeze of summer night blows.
It is very suitable for cooling off in summer. If it is paired with half an iced watermelon, or a glass bottle of iced fat house water, it will be lore.
The back of the shrine hall is the living place of the priests who are resident in the shrine.
One of the rooms was lit.
The bedroom is spacious and the furniture is very modern. On the big bed covered with pink bedding, there are several ugly and cute dolls.
This is Onizuka Kiri Hotaru's bedroom.
In the bedroom, there is also a separate bathroom with a bathtub.
The little witch is taking a bath in it at the moment.
After a day of schoolwork and the heavy training of Shenzi, taking a bath is a great enjoyment.
Onizuka lay in the bathtub with his eyes slightly squinted, his fair and pretty face flushed with luster due to the heat.
The still-developing girl's body was soaked in hot water through the water vapor, like a naked young white sheep.
clatter——
The sound of water turning.
The little witch picked up her mobile phone. She was just chatting with the netizen who was already quite familiar, named "Stranger".
We chatted casually about topics related to Inugami and Bai'er.
Onitsuka Little Priestess tapped the keyboard, typed a sentence, thought for a while, and then clicked send.
[Above Purple]: "Actually, a long time ago, I had a question that I wanted to confirm with you."
[The honest stranger]: "Then you can ask."
[On Purple]: "You are a folk spirit remover, right?"
The Eliminator.
For this world where ghost stories exist, it is a secret but indispensable profession.
Onizuka Kiri Hotaru is also an exorcist.
He was born in the orthodox sect of Shinto, and he was registered at the Metropolitan Police Department, so he has a serious official status.
No matter how you look at it, it is a legitimate and well-spoken existence.
And there are official spirit eliminators like Onizuka and Blind Granny. Correspondingly, there are also folk spirit eliminators without official status in the market.
The structure of this group is complex.
Quite a few of them were unable to obtain officially recognized identities because of their insufficient level of spirit removal.
Of course, there are also some people who have certain strength, but for various reasons, they have not directly dealt with the authorities.
In addition, most of the powerful part of the wild eliminators are from folk Shinto origin.
The so-called folk Shinto is a general Shinto belief that is popular among Japanese folks, such as the belief in land gods and house gods, as well as ceremonies that pay attention to worshiping gods and ancestors, as well as divination, spells, witch doctors and other alchemy customs.
In fact, it is not strictly different from Shinto, the sect to which Onitsuka Little Miko belongs.
The only difference is that the exorcists of the Shinto sect will systematically learn the techniques and knowledge of exorcism in various shrines.
And the spirit-eliminating people from folk Shinto basically rely on family inheritance, and learn the spirit-eliminating techniques in the house.
That is, the generation of parents passes on technology to the generation of children.
Quite a few spirit eliminators from folk Shinto backgrounds will also seek official status. And those who give up their official status for various reasons are relatively free to engage in spiritual removal activities on their own will.
It is difficult to make a simple generalization of the spirit removers who are lower than the folk Shinto.
The rest of these people have all kinds of teachings and nine streams. Most of them did not have the opportunity to systematically learn the techniques of eliminating spirits, but due to various reasons, they finally embarked on the road of eliminating spirits.
In the eyes of Onizuka Kiri Hotaru, "The Honest Stranger" belongs to the category of folk ghosts, the last low-level category.
Because there is no decent teacher to lead the way, there is no way to systematically learn the knowledge of removing spirits, and his own strength is also very weak. When encountering problems, he can only ask netizens when he has nowhere to go.
This is Onizuka's impression of "foreigners".
It's a bit pitiful to think about it.
It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that every time Kamiyagawa sends a message to ask questions, the kind little witch will answer as much as possible after seeing it.
Help if you can.
About three minutes after Onitsuka asked the question, there was a message from the other end of the chat box.
[The honest stranger]: "I was discovered by you."
After the little witch saw this reply, the corners of her mouth turned up, and a pair of beautiful and lively almond eyes showed a smug brilliance.
How could I not find out!
how clever i am!
【Zi Shang】: "So about Bai'er, did you ask casually, or did you really encounter it?"
According to the speculation of the clever little witch, the "foreigner" is a spirit remover who has actually carried out spirit removal activities.
A while ago, he said that he frequently bumped into spirits, encountered many wandering spirits and obsessions, and asked many questions.
According to Onitsuka's reasonable imagination, that is the time when the "foreigner" was expelled.
After a while——
[The honest stranger]: "I really encountered one."
[Above Purple]: "If you meet a lot, you won't be able to chat with me anymore."
[Purple Above]: "Generally speaking, Bai'er's kind of weird talk is rarely visited by foreign visitors, so the one you met was probably a spiritual descendant, right?"
[On Purple]: "In addition, I have to remind you that if possible, it's better not to go too deep into things related to Bai'er. Because Bai'er probably followed the dog god to reality."
It's not that Onitsuka underestimates people.
If there is a vicious dog god who has achieved a spiritual descending or a foreign visit, it is obviously beyond the scope of the "foreigner" to handle.
[The honest stranger]: "I understand."
[On Purple]: "Then, if you have any questions, you can ask me more, and I will try my best to answer you. To a certain extent, I am your teacher."
[The honest stranger]: "I will, boss. Listen to me, thank you..."
The stranger joked around for a while as usual, and then went offline.
The little witch put the phone on the edge of the bathtub, then submerged half of her face in the bath water, and started spitting bubbles like a big white-striped fish.
"So, it's really a folk spirit remover...Gulu Gulu."
Speaking of which, among the group of spirit eliminators, there are some old-fashioned and official ones who look down on those grassroots spirit eliminators.
But Onizuka Kiri Hotaru, a rising star, would not think so.
In this world, there are so many ghost stories about ghosts and ghosts coming to reality, but there are only so many official ghost eliminators in total.
The folk spirit removers are also spirit removers, and everyone is essentially fighting hard to protect the peace of reality.
Everyone is doing their best to do a great thing, so why do we have to distinguish between high and low.
In fact, after so long in the ghost talk forum, the "foreigner" was not the first netizen who Onitsuka met, who was keen to ask all kinds of strange talk questions.
When I met such a person before, the little witch would try to answer their doubts as much as possible.
Still the same sentence, help if you can.
Ordinary people don't encounter so many ghost stories.
If so, they are usually low-level folk spirit eliminators who have nowhere to go.
As for those people I met before, after a certain period of time, the avatars were always gray and never lit up again.
Elimination of spirits is not a play.
Confronting the vicious ghost head-on will definitely kill people. Even Onizuka Kiriying himself has the consciousness that he may sacrifice in the future.
only--
"I quite like chatting with you."
"Don't die."
