Chapter 72 Zashiki-warashi
Zashiki boy.
A traditional ghost story, folks generally regard it as a god of good fortune who can bring good fortune and good luck.
There are also many people who enshrine Zashiki Doji as a house god. It is said that as long as there is a Zashiki living in the house, the family will prosper.
In addition, it is said that children are much more likely to see Zashiki warji than adults.
If a child sees familiar faces among his playmates, but always feels that there is one more person than at the beginning, then it is likely that Zashiki Doji has mixed in.
Kamiyagawa already has a little knowledge of ghost stories.
When eating at noon, listening to Xiaopingtou's description, Kamiya did indeed associate the appearance of the ghost on the bell with the legendary Zashiki Doji.
But the problem is-
Will zashiki warji instigate people to gamble?
Theoretically speaking, this kind of little ghost talk has a good reputation, and it has nothing to do with gambling.
Kamiyagawa typed out his doubts and sent them to 【Purple above】.
After a while, the other party replied to the message.
【Purple above】: "Generally speaking, zashiki-douji's strange talk is very honest, and you can't instigate people to participate in gambling."
【Purple on top】: "But those who have a Zashiki warji around them and who are not firm in their will may indeed step into the abyss of gambling by themselves."
[Honest foreigner]: "Ah? Why do you say that? (Doubt.jpg)"
【Purple above】: "Because Zashiki Doji can give people good luck."
[Above the Purple]: "If one day, you find that a certain item around you seems to bring extraordinary good luck. Then would you choose to go to the gambling table and make the most of this luck? ?”
[Honest foreigner]: "Then I might scratch the lottery."
[On the Purple]: "Good luck doesn't mean you can win the first prize by scratching the lottery. Small and medium prizes are also considered good luck."
While typing casually and making jokes with [Zi Shang], Kamiyagawa actually understood what the other party meant.
Masao Xiaopingtomo mentioned earlier that his father was originally a good man, but he started gambling after being instigated by strange stories and became a bad person.
But this is just his speculation.
In other words, this is what Changyou Masao wanted as a son, and the reason why his father became bad.
If this is the case, his father is not a self-willed gambler, but a victim of persecution by Kaidan.
There is help.
Unfortunately, things seem to be different from Changyou's hope.
According to the information provided by [Purple Above], there is a high probability that the ghost who descended on the bell is Zashiki Doji.
This kind of strange talk can bring strong luck to people.
As for Xiaopingtou's father, most likely, he sensed that the bell could bring extraordinary good luck, so he was greedy and tried to make a lot of money and quick money through gambling.
The last step was wrong, and he was stuck in the quagmire and couldn't extricate himself.
Zashiki warji can't instigate people to gamble, but people's greed can.
After Kamiyagawa pondered for a while, he typed on the phone keyboard——
[The honest stranger]: "There is another problem. My client said that his family member who held the bell lost badly in the casino."
[The honest stranger]: "If the bell contains a zashiki that brings good luck, it shouldn't be the case, right?"
[On the Purple]: "Relying on the ability of a little monster, I made a lot of money in the casino every day, and then made a lot of money. In this world, how can there be such a good thing."
Kamiyagawa: ...
What the boss said is so reasonable, I can't refute it.
That's right, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Moreover, Kamiyagawa has never had a good impression of gamblers.
According to his point of view, if something like gambling is involved, it can't be good.
As long as you get on the gambling table, no matter how good your gambling skills are or how lucky you are, those who win will still win, and those who lose want to get their money back.
If you gamble for a long time, you will lose.
"So, I swear that I will never live with gambling and drugs."
Kamiyagawa sighed as he tapped the small square dining table with his fingertips.
While he was thinking and comprehending the truth of life, the boss of [Purple Above] sent another thoughtful message.
[Purple on top]: "If it's really Zashiki-douji who descended from the spirit, you can still accept this commission. After all, this kind of strange talk is not too offensive."
Onitsuka Miko on the other end of the phone at this moment.
She just finished a day of practice, washed up and went to bed, holding an ugly and cute large plush doll in her arms.
The little witch belongs to the kind of person who needs to hug something to feel safe when she sleeps.
"The stranger said before that he dealt with a Baier. If he can deal with the Baier, he can also deal with the Zashiki warji."
Judging from Onizuka Kiri Hotaru's experience in eliminating spirits, Shiraji and Zashiki Doji, although the latter's abilities are more amazing, but in terms of combat power, they are almost the same, and they belong to the kind of little monsters that are easier to deal with.
After thinking for a few seconds, the little witch clamped the doll in her arms with her smooth thighs, and then typed with both hands——
"However, you still have to be careful. The most important thing about eliminating spirits is that everything should not be taken lightly."
In fact, the Onitsuka little priestess, who is underage and always full of energy, is often reckless in doing things by herself.
"Everything should not be taken lightly", this is the sentence that the blind mother-in-law said the most when she gave her face-to-face education.
Onizuka Kiri Hotaru is not sure how much she can hear this sentence, but this does not prevent her from reminding strangers in a similar way.
This may be regarded as another form of kicking the cat effect.
After the message was sent out, there was a second reply——
[An honest stranger from another land]: "I will be careful. Please follow your teachings, boss."
"huh~"
The little witch proudly rolled over on the bed.
The two chatted casually for a while, and occasionally interspersed with each other to share a few trivial daily things that are not important to each other.
After that, they said good night to each other, and each went offline.
...
After Onizuka Kiri Hotaru said "good night", she really put down her phone and went to sleep.
But Kamiyagawa's "good night" in fact only simply expressed the meaning of the end of the chat.
Turning off the phone screen, he pondered for a while about the task entrusted to him by his long friend Masao, and during that time he scribbled on his Chinese homework for a while.
When I put down my pen and came back to my senses, the night was already very deep.
"ha--"
Kamiyagawa yawned, and was about to go to bed, when he turned his head and saw Hannya moved a high round bench at some point, sitting not too far away from him.
"I thought you had gone back to the Shikigami statue." Kamiyagawa stood up from Xiaofang table.
The ghost girl with long undergarments didn't respond, she just sat gracefully with her legs together. She held a mug in her hand, and there was a trace of hot air in the mouth of the cup.
"Is that cup mine?" Kamiyagawa thought, but didn't say it.
The hot drink in the mug is black with a little froth.
black coffee.
Banruo just soaked up quietly just now, and she hasn't had time to take her first sip yet.
"whispering sound."
Seeing that her onmyoji's eyes fell on the freshly brewed hot drink, Hanruo flicked her cuff to protect the cup, and two masks, one large and one small, spun around her constantly.
The expression on the ghost girl's face is uncommonly understandable——
What to see! This is what I deserve after all the hard work around the house!
Drink it yourself!
