I loaded the ghost talk game

In reality.

Kamiyagawa woke up.

The sunlight in the cherry blossom forest is a bit dazzling, giving people a feeling of trance like a dream.

What happened in the world of ghost stories just now is really like a dream.

In this way, Hanako was successfully cured.

A little unreal.

He took out his mobile phone and saw the death prompt——

【Soft Rice Man】

Kamiyagawa: ...

hateful! What's wrong with Ruanfan, you can eat one if you can?

"Big husband, いつか big husband になる, なんて思う日々を几つ重ねた, Today だって勤りTokyoの景に通ける拍は, 幽霊みたいだ"

The phone rings.

Mary is calling.

Kamiyagawa chose to answer this time.

"Hello?"

There was a blind voice on the other end of the phone, and after a while, Mary's voice came over: "Hello. I'm Miss Mary."

"Um."

The tone of the evil spirit on the phone was a little weak: "Mary is very tired, and her body hurts...I need to go to sleep, and when I wake up, I will come to play with you."

doodle.

The phone hangs up.

"Need to sleep?" Kamiyagawa subconsciously repeated Mary's words.

What does it mean?

Kamiya recalled the state of Marie after her treatment of Hanako in the ghost story world just now.

Cracks all over her body, like a porcelain doll that was shattered and then bonded again.

"Is Mary hurt?"

What is certain is that Mary's injury was definitely not caused by Hanako.

The phone ghost hitting the ghost doll in the toilet is like a mother hitting her daughter, until the latter has no strength to fight back.

If Miss Mary doesn't know the seven-injury sword technique of "injury one thousand enemies, and eight hundred self-injury", then there is only one reasonable guess——

Maybe the phone ghost was injured before he started fighting with Hanako?

And in the battle that broke out in the corridor, Mary fought too seriously and tried her best, so the wound that was not fully healed was torn open, and the old injury recurred?

Kamiyagawa felt that his conjecture should be reasonable.

But here comes the question, who injured Mary?

The telephone evil spirit is definitely the craziest and most powerful ghost story that Kamiyagawa has encountered so far.

What kind of terrifying existence must be able to beat her like that?

Kamiyagawa only found it unimaginable.

In addition, considering that Mary has already completed the foreign visit, she can freely shuttle between the real world and the world of ghost stories. Therefore, there is a certain chance that the person who severely injured her exists in reality.

"I feel that this world is much more dangerous than I imagined. Whether it is the reality of the surface world, or the ghost world of the inner world."

Thinking this way, Kamiya opened the 【Illustration of Foreign Visitor】 on the phone.

The status of the only two monsters in it has changed.

Hanako's status is displayed in gray [retired].

As for Mary, it is [sleeping].

Kamiyagawa looked at Mary's state and was stunned for a few seconds. At this time——

hum.

The phone vibrated, and another new notification popped up.

[You's character gets a new status. ]

Under the personal information, the original [Mary, I'm jealous] entry disappeared, replaced by a new one.

【Mary's Love】.

[Mary is an old abandoned doll, left to rot and stink in the trash. ]

[Gone are the days when you used to play with people and be full of joy. No one will like Mary anymore, everyone is afraid of Mary, and no one will ever invite Mary. ]

[But you are different, nowhere is the same. Mary is curious about you, wants to play with you, will be jealous of you—]

[Mary, love you. ]

[So, keep playing with Mary, shall we? If I abandon Mary, I will kill you, okay? ]

Looking at the new entry, Kamiyagawa was silent for a while.

"Mary, this is a deformed love... By the way, it should be quite dangerous to fall in love with a ghost, right?"

...

[Regional task: Retreat D-level ghost talk ghost doll Hanako, completed! ]

[Mission rewards are issued, learn the spirit control technique! ]

[Regional task: Exploring 80% of Hualing School, completed! (82/100)]

[Mission rewards are released, get a Shikigami Tin Figure! ]

After successfully repelling Hanako, Kamiyagawa's exploration of the strange school of strange stories went very smoothly.

After touching all parts of the teaching building, the area exploration value reached 82%.

The remaining 18% are estimated to be the bottom of artificial lakes.

The Kamiya River in the water can't go down for the time being, but it doesn't matter, as long as the task is completed.

The area at the bottom of the lake, let's explore it later.

[Controlling spirits (entry level): arresting ghosts and controlling spirits, expelling monsters and sending monsters, onmyojis cultivate the secret method of shikigami, mastering this method can raise ghosts to fight for themselves. ]

[Shikigami Tin Statue (Excellent Grade Material): Used in conjunction with the Spirit Control Art, the strange story that lives in this metal statue will become a shikigami for you to drive. Tin figurines can restrain ghosts of the highest D level. ]

As introduced in the description, holding ghosts and spirits is the secret method of Japanese onmyojis.

According to legend, the Great Onmyoji, Abe Seimei, raised 12 powerful shikigami to accompany him.

After mastering this spell, Kamiyagawa can also start to cultivate his own shikigami.

"The soul game is paired with the Pokémon system, right? That shikigami tin figure is a poke ball."

Kamiyagawa reviewed his income and roughly understood this brand new shikigami system.

"The tin figurine can only restrain ghosts of D level at best, that is, Hanako's level. Strong..."

"I feel that as the game progresses in the future, there should be opportunities to acquire other types of shikigami and control higher-level monsters."

understood.

After learning the spirit control technique, my goal is to become a master of strange stories!

At present, Kamiyagawa only has one tin statue, that is to say, there is only one shikigami slot.

What kind of ghosts should be cultivated as your first shikigami, you have to think carefully.

If conditions permit, Kamiyagawa very much hopes that Miss Mary can become his first shikigami.

It's a pity that Mary is a C-level monster, which exceeds the upper limit of the tin statue.

"However, Mary hasn't appeared in a long time."

Ever since Hanako was cured, the telephone evil spirit has never entangled Kamiyagawa again.

Looking at the [Ghost Talk Catalog], Mary's status has always been displayed as [Sleeping].

I don't know when she will wake up.

Speaking of which, Kamiyagawa's views on Mary are somewhat complicated.

When he was first entangled by the evil spirit of the phone, he only felt that his personal safety was threatened, and all he could think about was that he had to find a chance to get rid of this disease.

But now?

Does Kamiyagawa still want to cure Mary?

have no idea.

Maybe I didn't want to.

His attitude towards the evil phone has changed, not only because Mary acted as a tool to cure Hanako for him.

Also because of the [Mary's Love] entry, and that sentence——

"Hi, I'm Miss Mary. I'm in front of you."

In all the urban ghost stories related to Mary, this phone ghost that wanders around in the middle of the night will only appear behind the victim and kill the target with a single knife.

"But in the corridor of the teaching building, Mary appeared directly in front of me, blocking Hanako's family."

At that time, I should have been protected by the monster, right?

First published and then changed, there is another chapter in the middle of the night
