Tokyo: My Hundred Ghosts Scroll

Chapter 61 One-stop service after death
"arrive."

"So fast!"

The speed of the ghost bus is very fast, and the old house of Iijima is not too far from Kamakura, only more than 50 kilometers.

But even driving would take at least an hour.

However, Gu Yun had only been in the car for a long time, and it felt like three minutes had passed before the two of them had crossed more than 3 kilometers and arrived at a small town in Kamakura.

"Ghost bus, are they all this fast?"

No illusory chariot has such a speed.

Gu Yun: Get out of the group, god chariot, it's not as fast as the speed of other people's ghosts.

"Because we are spirit bodies now."

The reason why the chariot is no better than a ghost bus is that Ms. Tianhu has to take care of Gu Yun, a mortal, otherwise the speed of crossing dimensions will be far faster than that of a hearse.

Gu Yun: My pot? !
"I see."

Gu Yun was ashamed, it turned out that he was the one who slowed down the speed of the chariot.

Sure enough, with elementary school students, Miss Tianhu couldn't speed up even if she was an old driver.

"Puff~Puff~Puff~"

Gu Yun followed his grandfather out of the car, and suddenly found a group of little guys running past him.

They are very small, about the size of an adult's palm, green and oily, they look like ducks, but they have a Temari-like turtle shell on their backs.

"What is this, monster?"

Gu Yun squatted on the ground curiously, looking at these little creatures.

From the perspective of demon power, these little things can only be regarded as the weakest ghosts, completely incapable of interfering with the scum of reality.

"That's Temari Kappa."

Grandpa said: "The weakest type of Kappa."

The place of Kamakura has been known as the hometown of monsters since ancient times.

There is a strong evil spirit here, so it is favored by all kinds of little monsters.

They live here together with human beings, maintaining a special relationship that does not interfere with each other but is closely related.

Temari Kappa is very small, just like its name, it can be curled up and turned into Temari.

Temari, also known as Temari, was introduced to Dongying by envoys sent to Tang Dynasty in the heyday of Tang Dynasty, and became a game toy for nobles. Later, it gradually evolved into a kind of exquisite traditional handicraft among the people for collectors to watch and play.

"Hey~~~"

Gu Yun said curiously: "So there are such monsters."

"Apoof!"

As if paying too much attention to Gu Yun's gaze, the kappa with one hand fell to the ground with a thud because he didn't pay attention to his feet.

"This kind of monster doesn't look very smart."

Gu Yun thought it was very interesting, so he stretched out his hand and dragged it up.

"Thank you."

After getting up, the kappa with hand bow bowed to Gu Yun, and then followed the big army with a smile.

This innocent look made Gu Yun feel healed.

"It's pretty cute."

As Gu Yun said this, the picture scroll in his consciousness suddenly glowed with blue light.

[Discover clues to the new shikigami 'Kappa']

【Kappa】

Awakening Quest: Contact a kappa-like monster

Awakening method: Find a water pool, sink a cucumber into it, and then put your hands together and call the name of 'Kappa'

"Hey?"

Gu Yun didn't expect to get a new shikigami clue so soon.

"Kappa?"

In the game, Kappa is an R-rank shikigami, not too powerful.

But it should be the only monster that Gu Yun has now that is good at water.

"After the cherry blossom demon, there is another Kappa."

And looking at the method of obtaining this clue, Gu Yun found that he seemed to be able to try to contact more monsters to see if he could unlock more shikigami.

"what happened?"

Grandpa doesn't remember how dangerous Temari Kappa is.

"Um…"

Gu Yun thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that I have obtained the real name of a new shikigami again."

Previously, Gu Yun was attracted by his aura about the origins of shikigami and used them to take the initiative to use them.

"what?"

Grandpa was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Is that the little one just now?"

"no no."

Gu Yun is not the master of ghosts, he will not take in monsters at will: "I don't know where this real name comes from, just like the three-tailed fox and Prajna Hongye, it seems to be awakened."

"Is that so..."

Grandpa frowned slightly, but soon relaxed.

He had never seen a person with a full spirit before, so he was not particularly surprised that Gu Yun could awaken Shikigami.

Maybe this is the special ability of people with high spirituality.

"What monster?"

"One is a cherry blossom monster, and the other is a kappa."

"..."

Grandpa was silent, thinking to himself, isn't this the Mr. Nanfeng whom he met before, and the little Kappa he helped just now?
"Yes, can a specific shikigami be awakened by contacting different monsters?"

"this…"

Gu Yun didn't tell his grandfather about the picture scroll, so he agreed with his grandfather's guess: "It seems to be like this."

"Gu Yun, your spiritual status is high enough, even if you use hundreds of monsters, you won't feel any pressure."

"However, when summoning monsters, you still have to let Lord Tianhu take care of you."

Although the more shikigami, the safer the warlock.

But what Grandpa is worried about is whether Gu Yun will be adversely affected by some wicked monsters, causing his grandson to be brought into trouble.

In terms of emptiness, Miss Tianhu is indeed a bit naughty.

But she is kind by nature, even if she does evil, it is just some harmless pranks.

With her here, in front of the gods who can see through the soul, those guys with evil intentions will never have the opportunity to get close to Gu Yun.

"Well, I remember."

After all, Gu Yun didn't continue to look for monsters to contact.

Shikigami awakening is not unlimited, it has chance.

It might be possible for Gu Yun to get new clues by touching any monster at random, or he might come into contact with a lot of monsters, but not even a single new one.

So Gu Yun will not force it.

Gu Yun is very happy to get a new shikigami by following fate.

It doesn't matter if you can't get it, anyway, Gu Yun's current strength is enough.

What's more, the presence of ordinary shikigami is useless. What Gu Yun really wants is powerful existences like Suzuka Gozen and Shuten-douji.

They are Gu Yun's high-end combat power in the future.

"Where are we going next?"

"The platform."

Grandpa said: "There are entrances to the underworld all over the world, and they are connected to the train tracks by the gods of death who are responsible for guiding souls."

In other words, the dead will leave the world by train or tram like the little wizard in Harry Potter.

"Kamakura is a train," grandpa said, "but I heard that some more developed places have already used trams."

"grim Reaper…"

Gu Yun didn't think too much about taking the train to Huangquan, what he cared more about was the god of death in his grandfather's mouth: "Which one is it?"

"what?"

"That's right, the Grim Reaper you're talking about is the one wearing a cloak and holding a scythe in Western legends," Gu Yun asked, "Or is it wearing a black kimono and carrying a Zanpakuto?"

"..."

Grandpa was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to react: "The one in front, I know, is the special dress of the Western God of Death hundreds of years ago, but what is the one in the back?"

Wearing a kimono is understandable, but what is Zanpakutō?
"Ahem, I just read a manga before," Gu Yun said with a smile, "That's how the god of death in it is."

Judging from Grandpa's reaction, one can tell that the god of death in this world is definitely not the kind who knows how to understand and swastika, and probably exists similar to black and white impermanence.

"Ah, are you Iijima-sensei?"

While the two were walking towards the platform of Kamakura Town, a voice came from behind.

The grandfather and grandson turned their heads and saw the silver-haired girl running towards them quickly.

The other party was wearing a leather jacket and gloves on his hands. His whole body, except for one face, was almost tightly wrapped by the clothes.

"Miss Death, long time no see."

"Yeah~~ It's been a while since I saw you, Iijima-sensei has grown so old~~"

The girl in front of him was exactly what Grandpa had said before.

She has no name, only a code name, called 'Yi Ye'.

Yi Ye is the god of death sent by Huang Quan to indirectly lure the dead and protect them from going to the other world.

"In the blink of an eye, it's been so long."

Miss Death said with emotion: "That's right. It's been almost ten years since we last met? Before I knew it, Teacher Iijima had died too. Time flies so fast."

"Um, well, I'm not dead yet."

"what?"

Miss Death immediately apologized: "I'm sorry!"

The gods of death can't tell the difference between the undead and the soul out of the body. In their view, the breath of the two is almost the same.

In addition, not all living beings will be greeted by the god of death after death.

In fact, only those who are kind-hearted or do many evil things will be specially sent by Huangquan to take them to another world.

The good man lives in the underworld after death.

After the wicked die, they will go to hell, and then use various tortures to wash away their sins.

As for the general dead and those who died violently, their souls will be taken away by the power of the underworld.

In addition, Kamakura exists because of the entrance to the underworld.

So after people here die, there will basically be a god of death to guide the way, which can be regarded as a special benefit.

"Who is this…"

Seeing that Gu Yun kept looking at her, Miss Yiye asked curiously.

"It's my grandson," the grandfather introduced: "Gu Yun, this is Miss Yiye, a ghost of death."

"Reaper, it turns out to be the same as human beings."

Hearing what Gu Yun said, Miss Yi Ye laughed, then shook her head and came to him: "Oh, this, I'm actually speaking with a mask on now."

"look."

As Miss Yi Ye said, she took off her face like a mask, revealing her true face like a zombie, even Gu Yun was taken aback.

"Hahaha."

Seemingly thinking that Gu Yun's reaction was very interesting, Ms. Yiye took the mask back and stretched out her hand at the same time: "Hi, Master Iijima, I am Yiye, please give me your advice."

"Please advise."

And at the moment when the two shook hands, a bright light bloomed again from the picture scroll in Gu Yun's consciousness.

【Obtain the hidden god' Deadwood? ? ? 'clue】

[Because the shikigami information is seriously missing, it cannot be summoned]

[Integrate the remaining information to obtain clues to the hidden god 'Sode Shirayuki']

【Sleeve Snow】

Awakening task: contact 10 good gods who have the ability to guide the dead (1/10)

"Information is seriously missing, unable to summon?"

Gu Yun was startled: "This rotten tree???, can't it be Rukia, the rotten tree?"

There are some special shikigami in the Onmyoji game, which are called "linked shikigami", among which there is a linkage between Onmyoji and Shinigami.

"Because Rukia's information is missing, 'Sode Shirayuki' was integrated from the fragments."

"Is that okay too?"

What is Sode Shirayuki, and who is Kuchiki Rukia?

Kuchiki Rukia comes from an anime called "Reaper", a god of death, and Sode Shirayuki is the name of Rukia's Zanpakuto.

"So Sode Shirayuki here is a sword, or that pure white sword soul?"

The awakening task is to contact 10 good gods who receive and guide the souls of the dead. Looking at Ms. Yiye, it is obvious that she is the good god that picture scrolls need.

In other words, it is for Gu Yun to get in touch with 9 more guides like Miss Yi Ye.

"understood!"

Gu Yun knew in his heart that if he went to Huangquan, there must be a god of death there.

So contacting 9 more, I think it's not a big problem.

"Well, I'm going to pick up the deceased now," Miss Yiye said, "Is Teacher Iijima going to wait at the station first?"

"Can we watch from the sidelines?"

"Of course!"

Miss Yi Ye smiled slightly, and the work of the God of Death is not a shady thing: "Then when I pick up someone, let's go to Huangquan together."

Judging by Miss Yi Ye's familiarity, it is clear that the old man has often smuggled into the underworld.

"It's just right, Gu Yun, you haven't seen how the god of death receives the souls of the dead, have you?"

"You can take a look."

So, following Grandpa and Miss Yi Ye, the three spirit bodies came to a place where each household was built.

The Grim Reaper has a special power that can ignore the Feng Shui enchantment in the house.

"woooooooo~~"

Standing outside the door, Gu Yun faintly heard the sound of mourning inside.

Looking at the gate again, there are white lanterns hanging, obviously doing some white things.

The three of them ignored the existence of the gate, walked through it directly, and then came to the house, and saw the corpse lying on the tatami, covered with a white cloth in front of it.

"come yet?"

A group of people surrounded the corpse, including men, women and children, crying very sadly.

And beside them, there was a middle-aged man standing there. His feet were off the ground and there was no shadow. He was obviously not alive.

"Hi, is this Mr. Tanaka?"

Miss Yiye came forward to say hello, Mr. Tanaka seemed to have been notified long ago, without any fear, instead he responded enthusiastically: "It's me, Miss Death."

"I'm here to pick you up."

Miss Yiye's eyes were shining with black light, she was checking Mr. Tanaka's identity.

After confirming that it was correct, he took him out of the building.

"People who live in this area of ​​Kamakura," Gu Yun secretly said, "there is one-stop service after death."

After people in other places die, their souls will turn into will-o'-the-wisps, cross dimensions, and enter the underworld.

Unlike Kamakura, there is also the god of death who comes to pick him up.

This treatment is proper regional discrimination!
Iijima Ring: We, people from Tokyo!
Gu Yun: Let's move to Kamakura, and send him to Huangquan after death.
