My tenants are monsters

"really……"

Rin Shiraishi clicked on the author's homepage and looked at it for a while.

This author has indeed drawn a lot of comics, most of which are short stories. In addition to selling feet, there are also girls with a gap, earless Fangyi, and sore faces...

Basically, they are all scary. Compared with comics, it looks like a cartoon shown on paper.Shiraishi Rin is used to seeing all kinds of ghosts and evil spirits, and has already developed immunity to these things, so when he sees them, he doesn't feel that scary, but other people are different.

Looking at the comments below the manga, most of them are complaining that the picture is too scary. Some people even said that after reading the manga, they had nightmares for several days, and every day when they woke up, they would see a large wet crotch...

It is estimated that it is also because of being too scary, so the popularity of this cartoonist is not high.

"This guy is probably Mimiko Mizunuma, right?"

If even this style of painting is not unique, then it would be a bit too coincidental.

But now is not the time to go to Mizunuma Mimiko to talk about these paintings. After all, Shiraishi Rin is still looking at a new zombie who has moved in. In addition, the affairs of Asakura Hana and Iwata’s family have not yet been resolved. I really don’t have the mind and energy to think about it. other things.Since Mimiko Mizunuma has always been contented, it's better to put it aside and deal with the things around her in turn.

Shiraishi Rin made up his mind.

Volume 229: Chapter [-] Is the Human Pillar?

At this time, it was already very late.

Bai Shilin hurriedly washed up, turned off the computer, and went to bed to rest.

Probably because of the supernatural comics she read just now, this night, she also had several nightmares one after another.But strictly speaking, it's not a "nightmare", because Shiraishi quickly realized that he was in a dream, so he took this opportunity to practice swordsmanship, hacked with Muramasa and those ghosts, and successfully achieved Achieved the achievement of killing ghosts in the dream.

As the price of having long nights and dreaming, when Shiraishi woke up the next day, she found that there was a touch of dark circles on the edge of her eye sockets.

But not much.

Shiraishi Rin didn't take this matter to heart either. After breakfast, she went to Misato Shimoshima, and then went to the station of the special section with the policewoman.

She hasn't gone to work in the special class for a few weeks. It was okay when she didn't ask for anything before, but now she is trying to get information from the special class. If she doesn't do anything, she would be a little embarrassed, so she deliberately chose today Misato went there together, planning to use round light to deal with a supernatural event first, and then ask the special department for the information he needs.

However, the facts were a bit beyond Shiraishi Rin's expectations.

Before the search operation started, Shimoshima Misato dug out a stack of leather bags prepared in advance from the safe in the archives and handed them to her.

"?"

Bai Shilin was slightly taken aback: "This is..."

"This is detailed information about the Sendagaya Tunnel, which is what you said last time, Rin."

Faced with Shiraishi Rin's slightly puzzled expression, Shimoshima Misato smiled, but her tone of voice was very serious: "These materials were originally circulated in the special class. Strictly speaking, they are not allowed to be taken out, but I have already I’ve asked Dean Xiping for instructions, and I can print it out and give it to you. But please don’t give it to others to read, otherwise it may cause unnecessary trouble.”

"Really... I understand. Then I would like to thank Sister Shimoshima first.

Also, please help me convey my thanks to Dean Xiping. "

Shiraishi Rin was a little surprised, but he reacted quickly. After thanking him, he took the file from the female policeman, and stood at the door of the archives of the special class, lowered his head, and glanced at ten lines at a glance.The number of pages of this thing is not too many, it seems that Misato Shimoshima has refined the key content in advance, so it looks effortless——

As stated in the public information, above the Sendagaya Tunnel is the Tokugawa family's cemetery Senjuin.

But it's not just the Tokugawa Cemetery.

——That place is actually a rather rare "yin domain".

This is the first time Shiraishi Rin has seen the term "Yin Domain", but judging from the notes on the document, it should be a special term in the practice world.

It refers to a place where a large amount of yin energy gathers, and the specific formation process is usually due to its special geographical location, and there are underground undercurrents or mountains and rivers passing through it-in Chinese Feng Shui, it is the "dragon vein", and then Such a very special place has been formed after years and years in accordance with certain favorable conditions of time and place.

In the eyes of people who study Feng Shui intensively, this kind of place is a treasure land for burials, which can protect the corpse from decay and make the house peaceful.

But at the same time, it is easier to attract Yin Qi than ordinary places, thus attracting a large number of lonely and wild ghosts to occupy here, forming a place similar to mass graves or even corpses.

After Tokugawa Ieyasu unified Japan, he maintained his family's long-term rule. He specially invited a group of priests and onmyoji from Kyoto, including several masters from the Tsuchimikado family. It took a lot of effort. Several ceremonies were held in this "Yin Domain" to drive away all the lonely souls and wild ghosts, and then set up an extremely precise enchantment formation.

After a lot of preparatory work, the construction of Xianshouyuan began.

There are rumors that Xianshouyuan used "human pillars" when building the foundation.

As early as the Edo period, the Tokugawa cemetery has been quiet and nothing happened, probably because the "human pillar" really played a role.

And as the Falling Curtain Movement overthrew the shogunate and the end of the Edo period, the cemetery began to become restless.

But at that time, the political center of Japan was still in Tokyo, so the person in power at that time could not let it change at will, and would repair the formation in the cemetery from time to time, so there were not too many related rumors.

It wasn't until the 70s and [-]s that in order to host the Olympic Games, Tokyo dug tunnels under the Senshouin Temple without relocating the tombs. The ghosts that had been suppressed before began to become active. Rumors have emerged endlessly.There were even several serious traffic accidents one after another, causing dozens of deaths and injuries.

The only thing to be thankful for is that these casualties only occurred in the Sendagaya Tunnel and did not spread to other surrounding areas.

For this reason, relevant departments quickly came forward to quell public opinion, and stipulated the operation time of this tunnel, closing the tunnel every day after dark.At the same time, after the special class imposed multiple seal restrictions, it set up a small team to be responsible for the monitoring work in this area, and was stationed nearby on standby 24 hours a day.

however……

The landslide last month caused the wall of the Tokugawa Cemetery to collapse, and directly caused the yin riot in the Sendagaya Tunnel.

This can be regarded as a major event at the supernatural level in Tokyo.

Therefore, even Ichiro Nishihei, who is mainly in charge of several districts in the northwest, was temporarily transferred to assist the special section of Shinjuku District where the tunnel is located, and deal with the aftermath of the landslide.Several famous temples and shrines in Tokyo, including Sensoji Temple, have also dispatched manpower to provide assistance at the magical level.

Only recently has the situation stabilized.

However, because the new sealing formation is still in full swing, the Sendagaya Tunnel is still there.

"To be honest, until now, we don't know which ghosts have escaped from the Sendagaya Tunnel. I wanted to ask Xiao Lin for help in searching, but because the place is too dangerous, I haven't taken any action."

Shimoshima Misato finally explained this.

"Is that so..."

Shiraishi Rin nodded.

This was the first time she had heard of a place like "Yin Yu", but she still knew what a "Pillar of Man" was.

This kind of thing can also be regarded as a very common means of sacrifice. The original origin was the living sacrifice performed in the primitive tribe period, and it gradually evolved into different fields.

Volume 230: Chapter [-] Upcoming Final Exam

For example, "human pillars" - similar customs were called "living piles" in ancient China, as well as the burial of living people, steamed buns with human blood... To put it bluntly, they are all products left over from the ancient period of ignorance of people's wisdom. , Especially girls or babies are driven into the wall pile, so that they can go to the side of the god, so as to obtain the blessing of the god himself, so that the building will not be attacked by natural disasters such as earthquakes or floods for a long time.

As for whether this method is useful...

Just look at the last situation of the Tokugawa family, obviously not.

After all, whether there is such a thing as a god is a matter of opinion, and if there is, then the gods who need to be worshiped in the form of living sacrifices are mostly foxes and ghosts in the countryside. Compared with the "gods" who protect humans , more like the evil spirits and ghosts that create all the troubles. To deal with such things, killing them is the most sensible option.

From these materials in the special class, Shiraishi Rin probably has a little guess about the details of Hayami Iris.

Maybe……

I saw that the calamus was the human pillar used for sacrifices back then?

Things like human pillars are often very bloody. In order to fit the size of the hole, or out of some special rules, it is very common to be executed in advance or cut off hands and feet to form human sticks. .Even the person who was used as a human pillar in this process may not be dead, but was smothered alive after being built into the wall.

This is a good explanation, why I saw a bloodstain on Calamus's waist and abdomen that looked like it had been cut into two by a knife.

Of course……

It cannot be completely ruled out that Hayami Iris is a young lady of the Edo family or the Tokugawa family.

After all, the surname "Haojian" was only said by the zombie lady herself. Judging from the case of "Yamaguchi Toshio" being renamed "Iwata Toshio", the possibility of the zombie lady's original name "Tokugawa Iris" cannot be ruled out.But this is not a good explanation for the problem of "cutting in half", because the Tokugawa family was the ruling family in the entire Edo period. It stands to reason that even if someone in the family made a mistake, they would not be punished like this...

To determine the truth, some key evidence is needed.

As for helping the special class investigate the whereabouts of those escaped ghosts...

Unless Ichiro Nishihei really insisted on asking, Rin Shiraishi would definitely push it as soon as he could.

After all, I saw that Calamus himself had "fleeed" to Baishi's apartment early on. If he used the round light technique and found out that the hiding place of the ghost was in his own home, then he would be self-inflicted.

"By the way...do you want to communicate the existence of Hayami Iris to the special class?"

Bai Shilin came up with this idea, but after thinking about it, he suppressed it first: "Wait a little longer, let's see her own opinion."

The investigation on the Sendagaya Tunnel is just a small episode.

After carefully putting away this information on his body, Rin Shiraishi began to look through other unsolved case files in the special class, and picked out a copy of "Adachi Ward Shenyin Incident" from it, and used the [Circle Light Art] once, successfully The creators of these mysterious incidents have been locked.

There is nothing to say about the ghost this time, it is just an ordinary wraith, but it has the ability to hide its body in the mist, and usually hides in a riverside park.Rin Shiraishi managed to find it with the hands of the special class without much effort.

Originally, Rin Shiraishi thought about trying [Lihuo Talisman] on this thing, but gave up halfway.

After all, the Lihuo Talisman is a consumable that uses one less. Even if it is an experiment, it is not very cost-effective to use it on a weak ghost with mediocre strength.On the contrary, it was the [Golden Light Curse], Shiraishi Rin found an opportunity to try it out, and almost without any effort, he beat the ghost to pieces, turning it into a cloud of black-gray Yin Qi and blending into the air.

The whole process was surprisingly smooth, and it was much easier than dealing with the legwife.

It is also possible that Shiraishi Rin is now stronger than before, so he has the illusion that the opponent is almost vulnerable.

However, Shiraishi Rin did not get any good things from this ghost, only a bead formed by the condensation of Yin Qi——

[Yin Condensation Bead: A crystal formed by the condensation of a small amount of Yin Qi, it is an excellent tonic for ghosts]

The nature of this thing is easy to understand. You can tell from the name and description that it is a materialized product of Yin Qi, and it is even better food for ghosts that feed on Yin Qi.

And the ghost beside Shiraishi Rin—to be precise, the only one that can be dispatched by her is Asakura Huali.As for the Iwata family, there is also Mimiko Mizunuma whose details are not known for the time being. Although they are also related to ghosts, the relationship between the two parties is not that close after all.

So without much hesitation, Rin Shiraishi gave the bead to Asakura Huali.

Asakura Huali didn't want it.

Because according to the normal plan, Rin Shiraishi will take her to find Nobuko Matsutani by the end of the month at the latest, and no matter what happens afterwards, Hana Asakura's last obsession has a great concept that will be resolved.And once the obsession dissipates, the resentful spirit itself will cease to exist, and then "become a Buddha" as the story says.In that case, it would be a bit of a waste for her to eat this bead.

However, under Shiraishi Rin's persuasion, Asakura Hana had to accept it in the end.

"Well then, since Master Baishi said so, I'd rather be respectful than obedient..."

Qian Cang Huali sighed, took [Yin Ningzhu], then put it into her mouth and swallowed forcefully.

[Favourability (Asakura Huali) +30]

In addition to a large amount of favorability, after eating [Yin Condensation Pearl], Qian Cang Huali's breath showed a visible enhancement, and even the original almost translucent body became more solid stand up.This reward made Shiraishi Rin feel that it was a good deal.

The following week was uneventful.

As for the school, nothing special happened. The main thing was that the Kendo Department agreed that this year’s camp location would be the Izu Peninsula, and then Nogi Maki, Takai and others began to contact the local hotels and kendo halls to prepare for the camp in a while.And as time progresses, the school's final exams are approaching.

It is now the first ten days of December, and the winter vacation will begin in the second half of December, that is, around Christmas Eve, so the final exams for this semester are basically held within these two weeks.

——The school system in Japan is different from that in Huaxia. The school starts in April every year, and the summer vacation is from July to September. The second semester lasts until Christmas Eve at the end of December, and then there is a spring vacation in March.However, the time of the latter two holidays is relatively short, adding up to just over a month.

Many students have begun to interrupt club activities and spend more time reviewing homework and attending cram schools.
