My tenants are monsters

Shiraishi Rin was stunned: "This kind of thing is too much trouble for you..."

"It doesn't matter. After all, this incident involves all of us. It would be great if it can be resolved as soon as possible."

Under the kindness of Ogino Yoshie, Shiraishi Rin had no choice but to nod, and then went to the second floor with her, and had breakfast with Nishihei Ichiro and others who had just woke up and were about to go out to buy food.

"Last night, was there any news from the search personnel sent by those police stations?"

Facing Rin Shiraishi's question, Ichiro Nishihei shook his head.

This is normal.

It was already afternoon when the Centipede incident happened yesterday, and by the time the Special Section and the Arakawa Police Station rushed over after hearing the news and dispatched search and arrest personnel, the sun was about to set.

For monsters, there is not much difference between night and day, because any existence with a little strength can pour monster power or spiritual power into their eyes, so that they can see clearly in the dark.But it's different for humans.Even with a flashlight, it is only a little better than a blind man, and the search efficiency may not even be one-third of that during the day.

And after one night, Baizu Dazang is probably no longer in the original place.

This conjecture was soon confirmed by Shiraishi Rin with circular light technique.

The latest detection results show that the current location of Centipede Dazang has come to a mountain forest.Because the surrounding area was surrounded by towering trees, even the sunlight was covered up, so it was still impossible to determine his exact position.

Shiraishi Rin also saw it at this time.

Baizu Dazang probably has seen spells similar to Circle of Light before, so he has an extremely strong anti-reconnaissance awareness, and even in the process of escaping, he still pays attention to hiding his whereabouts.The places I passed along the way were almost all places where there were no landmark buildings or large crowds, and it was impossible to tell where it was just from the pictures.If such mountains and forests were entrusted to the special section to search, there would probably be no less than hundreds of them in Tokyo and surrounding areas alone.

The search has come to an impasse.

Nishi Pingichiro and others were at a loss.

Shiraishi Rin also had a headache.

Just at this time, the team of decoration workers that Ichiro Nishihei helped to contact yesterday came over. Rin Shiraishi took the opportunity to sneak out, took a few workers to 303 first, and then took a look at 203, which is directly opposite downstairs. When the workers began to measure the height of the wall and the size of the gap, and discuss the repair plan, they found an excuse to go to Mimiko Mizunuma's house in 204.

"Ahem, actually I just want to ask, Mimiko, do you know the whereabouts of Momozuda?"

"Since you were able to draw the plot of his attack on Momo Yamamoto and others in the manga, you should have noticed the battle that happened at 303 yesterday afternoon, right?"

Facing Rin Shiraishi's question, Mimiko Mizunuma was silent for a moment, then shook her head.

"Sorry, I don't know."

"Eh?"

"My ability can't be activated at will, and it also needs a certain amount of inspiration and opportunity. Not all supernatural events that happen near me can be noticed by me. The plot drawn in the comics before, and what is happening now It is two different things and two completely different stories."

After a pause, Mimiko Mizunuma added: "Also... Mozuzu Daizo may have left Tokyo by now."

"how do you know?"

Shiraishi Rin stared at Mimiko Mizunuma's expression and eyes, and asked.

"intuition."

"..."

(I see, your ability can only cover the city of Tokyo, right?)

Volume 286: Chapter [-] Phone?

Bai Shilin thought so in his heart, but lowered his voice and said softly:

"Um... Mimiko, I also know that you are not a human being. To be precise, most of the tenants living in this apartment are not ordinary human beings, including myself. I haven't made it clear before. , it is because I am worried that this may cause trouble to you, so I have been getting along with you as ordinary people.

But now, the situation is different. "

"Because of what Baizu Dazang did, the special class has already noticed our apartment, if they find out about your anomalies again, then all of your identities may be exposed.

I am not personally hostile to you, and I do not intend to expose your identities. If you are willing to believe me, then we can have an open and honest talk to find the safest solution, okay? "

The tone of these words is very sincere.

In fact, as early as yesterday when Baizu Dazou had just escaped and the people from the special class hadn't arrived, Shiraishi Rin had imagined a showdown with the tenants. At this time, he just took this opportunity to try the water with Mimiko Mizunuma.

——After all, this girl seems to be easier to deal with than the Iwata family, mainly because the city is not so deep, and she has never shown too much fierceness.Much safer than Sadako Iwata.

and so……

There should be a chance for a peaceful Raiders.

As for the plan to use Mimiko Mizunuma to lock down the whereabouts of Amekhizo, I probably have to give up.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if Baizu Dazang can be caught, with Shiraishi Rin's current strength, it may be difficult to subdue or seal him.Even if he is killed by any means, it may not be possible, so there is no need to look for it in such a hurry. It will not be too late to do this thing after she expands the hole cards in her hand, upgrades or something.

Facing Rin Shiraishi's proposal, Mimiko Mizunuma was silent for a while.

Just when Rin Shiraishi thought that she might not speak, Mimiko Mizunuma's voice suddenly sounded: "Actually, my ability is mainly related to communication equipment."

"Oh?"

Bai Shilin raised his eyebrows slightly, but did not speak, but waited for the girl to continue.

Under her gaze, Mimiko Mizunuma was silent for a moment before continuing: "Many years ago... when I was alive, I was able to receive some calls from unknown places. Some of these calls came from the world Yes, some are from other places, and all the callers are not living people, but ghosts or dead souls.

It is very difficult for ordinary people to see them, but only I encounter this situation almost every day, just like eating and drinking water. "

Telephone?

These few sentences contain a lot of information.

Rin Shiraishi narrowed his eyes slightly, and made up the picture that Mimiko Mizunuma said in his mind. After analyzing it for a while, he asked, "That is to say...you once received a call from Momo Yamamoto. When Baizu Dazang was killed... no, after he was killed?

But, if her soul can still make calls, shouldn't she call her family or the police right away? "

"……Different."

Mimiko Mizunuma shook her head: "Those callers on the other side of the phone are indeed dead souls who were killed, but the phone itself was not dialed by them, and in fact there is no such action as 'calling', but It is a conceptual product.

If you understand it in a more conventional way, these phones are actually more like a product of electromagnetic waves.

The powerful resentment accumulated by those killed souls and ghosts before they died formed a special electromagnetic wave, which was accumulated in the place where they died. These "telephone calls" are formed by collecting and releasing the existence in the dark.Only a few people with certain qualifications can receive these calls, hear the mourning from the dead, or the last words before dying.

Sometimes, the people who 'call' are the ghosts who committed the crimes, and in this way they reproduce the process of their murder. "

Rin Shiraishi had already sat down on the sofa in the living room of 204.

While listening to Mimiko Mizunuma's talk about her abilities, she recalled what she had just heard from the girl, and then glanced at Mimiko Mizunuma: "Well... can I take the liberty to ask, what you just said 'Before', do you mean when?"

Things like telephones were produced early or late. If we start counting from the time when they were introduced to Japan, it would be almost 100 years ago.

Mizunuma Mimiko's age is a bit questionable...

"That was about ten years ago."

"what?"

This result greatly exceeded Shiraishi Rin's expectations.

So, Mimiko Mizunuma is actually not much older than her?

At least it is much smaller than Shiraishi Rin guessed just now.She originally thought that the age of this otaku was the same as that of Hayami Iris, and they were all calculated in three digits.

Mimiko Mizunuma paused, and then said again: "Actually, when I was still alive, like you, Miss Rin, I was an ordinary person with spiritual vision ability. It's just that I haven't been exposed to any magic inheritance, nor I have seen other psychics, and because I often see and hear unclean things, I am regarded as a different kind by the people around me, so I can only rely on painting to pass the time.

Because those phone calls from the dead are often accompanied by images that are directly projected into my mind, so even if I have not experienced it personally, I can still 'see' the bloody scenes that happened in various parts of Tokyo, and then put them on the canvas pictured.

At that time, the Internet was not as developed as it is now, and I never tried to submit my drawings to publishing houses. The only people who could see them were my parents.But they didn't like what I drew, they thought it was too weird, and even burned some of my paintings for it.

I didn't refute at the time, but I had a cold war with them for a long time.

after that……"

When talking about this, the expression on Mimiko Mizunuma's face changed slightly, revealing a trace of inexplicable emotion: "Then finally one day, I received a call from my parents... After that , they never appeared in this world again.”

Accompanied by these words, there was obviously a trace of sadness in the girl's eyes, but it was quickly covered up, as if it was just a fleeting illusion.

VOLUME 287: Chapter [-] Another World

Counting it, Rin Shiraishi and Mimiko Mizunuma have been in contact for several months, and they usually come here every three days to deliver some drinks or something—they don’t send food because Mimiko Mizunuma seems to be unable to eat the food of living people.But so far, this is the first time that Mimiko Mizunuma has said so many words in one breath.And the information contained in it is quite amazing.

First of all, Mimiko Mizunuma was once a human being, and she was also a person with psychic properties.

Judging from the fact that she was able to receive various "calls" from unknown places during her lifetime, her spiritual awareness may not be low.

If Shiraishi herself didn't have a system, she would probably be far inferior to her.Even comparing her current spiritual perception with Mimiko Mizunuma, it's hard to say which one is better, but this girl's luck is not very good, she has the ability to perceive the spiritual world, but lacks the corresponding means of self-protection.

Secondly, Mimiko Mizunuma can use that ability to "see" the scene of the first scene of the supernatural event and describe it.From this point of view, it is only natural that the cartoons drawn by this girl are so real and terrifying. After all, she has really seen the appearance of those ghosts committing crimes with "personal eyes", and there may be some spiritual power mixed in those paintings .

If Mimiko Mizunuma was stronger, or had practiced for hundreds of years, it is estimated that the paintings she drew could be directly turned into movies and played in the minds of those who saw them.

Furthermore, Mimiko Mizunuma's parents were also witnesses of the "calling" and may have encountered an accident.

From this perspective, the experience of the couple is somewhat similar to Yamamoto Momo's, but the details are not quite the same.And look at the water.

"Your parents... also encountered a mysterious incident like Yamamoto Momo..."

Shiraishi Rin hesitated for a moment, and asked one more question.

This question is actually a bit out of date.

But Rin Shiraishi was a bit lucky-if Mimiko Mizunuma was willing to say it, and the other party was not far from downtown Tokyo, then she might be able to use the round light technique and the power of the special class to kill Mizunuma Mimiko Find out the culprit of the child's parents. If this matter is done, it should increase a lot of favorability.

Can……

"I do not know."

"do not know?"

"Because that call was so weird, so strange that I was different from all the calls I've had before."

Mimiko Mizunuma frowned slightly: "When I answered the phone before, I could draw a picture of their dying moments in my mind based on what they said, but... only the words that came out of that phone call were mine. Incomprehensible, completely incomprehensible, and I don't understand the meaning of it. I can only judge their voices through the tone. And...

Even the picture presented through this phone call seemed to come from another world, which I had never seen before in the human world. "

"?"

Next, Shiraishi Rin asked a few more questions.

In Mimiko Mizunuma's description, she probably made up the appearance of that picture——

It was a phone booth in the middle of the street.

That's right, it's the kind of boxy facility with a phone inside.It can be seen everywhere at the end of the last century, but it is very rare in this era.

However, this street does not belong to any city in Tokyo or even the present world. It is surrounded by roads under the night, winding and winding, leading to different directions, like countless entangled snakes.There are also buildings of different heights scattered around the phone booth, which are vaguely visible in the dark night without street lights.
