Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 127
"what?"

Suddenly, the bhikkhuni frowned slightly, as if she saw something.

"what happened?"

"I see a picture."

There was a faint blue light in the bhikkhuni's eyes: "I saw Xiao Guyun, you are sighing, and you seem to blame yourself very much, as if someone died."

"Um?!"

Hearing someone died, Gu Yun immediately became serious: "Who died?"

I was sighing, not crying, which meant that the one who died should not be a relative, but a friend.

But he blamed himself very much, indicating that the other party was someone he protected.

There are two types of nuns who can predict the future.

One is active divination, which can see the entire route, passing through all the processes and key points.

And the other, like now, is just a very sudden episode.

"It's a little girl."

The bhikkhuni applied to Gu Yun to retrieve his memory, and the latter agreed, so he quickly found out the identity of the other party: "Her name is Chihiro, Ogino Chihiro."

"Spirited Away!"

Almost instantly, Gu Yun thought of this work: "Could it be that Qianxun is going to encounter a ghost now?"

But why did she die?
Gu Yun couldn't figure it out.

According to the development of the story of "Spirited Away", Chihiro will encounter a ghost when her parents return to the countryside, and stray into the world where the soup house is located.

Even if the world view here is different, there are many overlaps with the world view of "Spirited Away".

If Chihiro is still like in the original book, she meets Bailong after entering that world, and then under the guidance of the other party, she finds Grandpa Boiler and becomes the maid of the soup house.

So under such development, Chihiro is at most trapped in the soup house of the other world, and will never die.

"Why is that?"

Gu Yun quickly changed his clothes, he naturally believed in the prophecy of the bhikkhuni, it was the top divination technique, much more powerful than Gu Yun's spell.

In addition, the fate here is not a closed loop. There will be no reason why Chihiro will die because I predicted her death and then did something to cause this misfortune.

Predicting the future is the result of deduction and a possibility of the future.

Its premise is that Gu Yun does not take the initiative to influence.

As long as there is no external force, then fate will take this route.

On the contrary, when Gu Yun intervenes, the fate will be changed.

"Where's the guard?"

Gu Yun thought of the amulet he gave to Qianxun, which was his latest creation and contained his extremely powerful spiritual power.

Theoretically, without Gu Yun needing to worry about it, this garrison is enough to resist the curses and dangers of higher-level monsters.

But now?

The guard didn't respond.

Is it because the child is not wearing a guard?
Gu Yun thinks it is unlikely, because he has applied a shallow illusion on the guard, which will make the wearer like to carry it with him.

Or hang it around your neck, or put it in your pocket, anyway, you will almost carry it close to your body, and it is impossible to forget it.

The defensive guard has complete functions, and its protection range is extremely wide, and it can even prevent accidents such as car accidents, falling off cliffs, and encountering satyrs.

Therefore, under the double insurance, Gu Yun doesn't think Chihiro will lose the guard.

"The opponent's mana is very strong."

There was no response through the guard, not even a bit of news came back, this was the first time Gu Yun met such an opponent.

He judged carefully, using his own shikigami as a reference.

"At least you have to be a strong person at Sister Hua's level to do it."

Bianhua is the spirit of ecology, and there are only a handful of such existences in every world.

"This is troublesome..."

Gu Yun was a little worried, he looked at Yu Yao: "Xiao Yu, prepare the chariot."

"Ah."

Yuyao summoned his chariot, and Gu Yun divination for Qianxun's location, but found that there was no such person.

"I…"

Gu Yun let go of Jieyin's hand in embarrassment: "There is no such person? What is the reason why there is no such person?"

It's not that I can't find it, but that there is no such person.

"Have you been hidden by strange talk?"

Obviously, only those who have been hidden by the gods will have the reply of "no such person found".

The traces of the other party's existence in this world were erased.

"Beep~~beep~~"

After boarding the chariot, Gu Yun called Hiratsuka Jing: "Xiao Jing?"

"What's the matter, Gu Yun?"

It's only 7 o'clock, it's still early, and Jing Kei is still curled up in the bed and fell asleep.

"Chihiro."

"What happened to Chihiro?"

Hiratsuka was taken aback for a moment, and she asked with some doubts.

"Do you know Chihiro?"

"..."

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "It's Chihiro from our class? Of course I know."

"Why are you asking me this, it's so strange."

'Xiaojing still remembers Chihiro, she is not dead yet. '

If the person who was hidden by the gods just disappeared, then everyone would at most make up for her disappearance.

But if the other party dies, then everything related to this person will be erased from everyone's memory.

Hiratsuka Shizuka has no spiritual power, she can remember Chihiro, which means the girl is still alive.

"Hello? Hello!"

Shizuka Hiratsuka: "What happened, is Chihiro in trouble?"

Chihiro was one of Hiratsuka Shizuka's girl group members when she was in elementary school.

The few of them play very well, and they are very close friends.

Suddenly hearing Gu Yun's inquiry at this time, Hiratsuka Shizu also began to worry about Chihiro.

"She was concealed by the gods."

Gu Yun explained the current situation to Hiratsuka Jing, and said, "So Xiao Jing, please do me a favor and send a message to my phone every five minutes."

The content of the message is only two words, that is Chihiro.

When Shizuka stopped sending, it meant that the word 'Chihiro' on her phone disappeared.

What disappeared at the same time was her memory.

"I see."

Hiratsuka Shizuka knew the horror of Shenyin, so she picked up the phone and played the role of the woman behind Gu Yun.

Time to go back to this morning.

Knowing the existence of her brother and the truth about his death, Chihiro blamed herself very much. Her mother Ogino Yuko suddenly woke up and decided to take her daughter back to her hometown to pay homage to her son who died young.

The Ogino family originally lived in a quaint village. The village was named after the river Amber River beside it, and it was called Amber River Township.

Pochuan Township is not big. It is located in the hinterland of the mountains and forests. Except for the elderly, almost all the young people in the village have left here to work in cities in Japan.

"It's just ahead."

Akio Ogino drove the car, his wife and daughter sat in the back seat, and there were many presents inside.

Ogino Chihiro's grandparents also live in Pochuan Township, and Ogino's family will go back there to visit their elders during festivals.

Of course, they wouldn't tell Chihiro about Chihiro.

That's a taboo for the Ogino family.

But before this time, Ogino and his wife would always avoid Chihiro and visit the dead child quietly.

In Japan, many people are used to setting up ancestral halls at home for the elders and descendants who have passed away.

The ancestral hall is not big, just a shrine, in which there are tablets of the deceased.

There is a small bell on the side. After the worshippers rang it, they put their hands together as a memorial.

It is obviously impossible for the Ogino family to set up such a thing.

But after today, they should welcome the child home to enshrine.

"Have you not seen your grandparents for a long time?"

Ogino Yuko stroked her daughter's hair, and after talking to the child, her heart knot was opened, and she was no longer afraid to look at Chihiro, and her overall temperament improved a lot.

If a warlock of high spirits looked at her with the ability of hell, they should be able to see the faint fluorescence around Yuko.

That is the blessing of a good God.

Although it is rare, it is indeed the blessing of the gods.

Ogino Chien is a kind and gentle boy. In order to save his sister who fell into the water, he jumped into the Amber River desperately, and finally exchanged his life for Chihiro.

The snail told the couple that humans can become gods.

The becoming here is not apotheosis.

It is more like a state of being blessed by good gods.

People who die for others, if they meet certain conditions, may be selected by the good gods and become new gods.

This point is the same as being cursed by resentment and twisted into a demon.

The good gods of the Amber River saw the scene of Ogino Chien saving his sister, and were attracted by it, making this 12-year-old boy a new river god.

Of course, the Ogino family didn't know about this.

The snail went to meet the Amber Lord specially, but the river god boy had already forgotten his identity.

From human to god, there is always a price.

If he can preserve his memory, is he a human or a god?
Just like cultural identity, sometimes ethnicity, or even race, will appear to be less important, and the same is true of gods.

If Ogino Chi was still alive and blessed as a human being, he was still human.

Unfortunately, he is dead.

In this way, it is equivalent to a reincarnation, starting a new journey.

'Don't remember anything? '

The snail talked with the boy and realized this, so he hoped that he could bless the residents of Pochuan Township so that they could live happily under the protection of the river god.

It's just that no one expected that Pochuan Township was filled by humans.

The homeless River God lost his home and left the land sadly.

For this reason, the snail went to look for him specially.

It's a pity that the other party went to the afterlife, which is a place that humans can never set foot on.

Even with the mana and connections of the snail, there is no way to go to the afterlife.

"Okay, you can get out of the car."

Akio Ogino didn't drive the wrong way, and they didn't encounter ghosts by accident.

Chihiro doesn't know this, what she wants to do most now is to arrive at her brother's grave and sincerely apologize to him.

My brother bought my life, and it was because of her, my brother who had a beautiful life, had to leave this world.

"Does that kid know?"

"There's really no way, I can't hide it from her for the rest of my life."

The two old people stood in front of the house, they put away the presents from their children, and made lunch for Qian Xun and the others.

After dinner, Chihiro, led by her parents, saw the tomb of her brother Ogino Chi.

"Sorry…"

Chihiro had already remembered at this time, all remembered.

About my brother, and memories of playing with boys when I was young.

"Oni-chan, I'm sorry."

The girl stayed in front of the tomb for a long time, she didn't speak, but all the words were poured out to the photo on her brother's tomb in her heart.

Chihiro drowned when she was a child, and although she was rescued, she developed a very high fever.

After her body recovered, perhaps it was the body's self-protection mechanism that made Chihiro forget this desperate memory, as well as the elder brother who loved her the most.

But at this moment, the past is like a tide, until the girl burst into tears.

"Okay, Chihiro."

The mother held the girl in her arms and couldn't stop comforting her: "Do you still remember, Qian was most afraid of seeing you cry."

"Ah."

Chihiro remembered, she wiped away her tears and smiled.

No matter what happens, I have to smile in front of Oni-chan.

O'Neill sauce bought his own life, so he should live well and be happy no matter what, so that his choice is not in vain.

"Let's go back."

After the worship, Ogino mother and daughter's knots were also opened one after another.

As the snail said, Qianxun is far stronger than her parents imagined.

Different from the cowardly and clueless 10-year-old girl in the original book, Chihiro, who is now 13 years old, has graduated from the best elementary school in Japan.

Her friends, playmates, and schoolmates have all kinds of geniuses.

And Chihiro, who grew up in this environment, is far stronger than the girl in "Spirited Away" who transferred to the countryside in terms of vision and ability.

"Aren't you staying here for the night?"

After returning to the old house in the countryside, Chihiro's grandparents hoped that they could stay longer.

But the problem is, Akio Ogino is really busy.

Originally, today was not a day for rest. He specially asked for a two-day price for his daughter.

According to the plan, today I will take Qianxun to pay homage to the eldest son, and tomorrow I will take my daughter to Gancheng Guanghui Amusement Park to let her forget this painful memory.

Akio Ogino, who had a successful career, coupled with the death of his eldest son, now attaches great importance to his daughter's education and growth.

He is very satisfied with his life now.

At work, Akio Ogino hugged Iijima Group's thigh tightly. Although he couldn't eat meat, he was satisfied just drinking soup.

In terms of family, the daughter is well-behaved and obedient, and the wife is also very virtuous.

As far as life is concerned, although Akio Ogino has lost it, he also has enough happiness for him to heal that pain.

"No, come again next time."

Yuko explained a few words for her husband, and then left Pochuan Township by car under the watchful eyes of her parents.

"grandparents."

Chihiro stuck her head out of the window and waved goodbye: "See you next time~~"

"Bon Voyage."

Seeing that Chihiro and the others recovered, the two old men also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go."

They looked at each other helplessly, and couldn't help showing a wry smile: "That's right, there are no young people now, and they want to stay in this place."

I don't know what happened, but I just remember that after the Amber River was filled, the village began to decline.

Up to now, the whole village has completely lost its vitality.

Young people have left, leaving only some old people who cannot leave their homeland.

Japan also pays attention to feng shui, and the elderly are more superstitious. They always think that the problem in Pochuan Township is because of the river.

But it's useless to say anything about this kind of thing now.

The development of the government cannot be stopped by one or two unruly people in the mountains.
