My tenants are monsters

The fire 11 years ago broke out under such circumstances.

but……

For Joon-hyung, the fire isn't entirely a bad thing.

On the contrary, in a sense, it saved his life.

Because at that time Toshio had been clearly diagnosed as dead and placed in the mortuary for cremation, but because in the process of being confused, he absorbed a lot of resentment from the people who died in the fire, forming a life-and-death relationship between life and death. The special state between them - in layman's terms, it is the "living dead", but they woke up again, and even the body that was riddled with illnesses healed on its own.

Hmm... It can't be said that it is completely cured.

Because Toshio Iwata’s pain and torment disappeared, but for this experience, he paid another price——

Since the fire, the child's physical development has completely stagnated, and his mind has almost been frozen at the moment when he was six or seven years old.No matter what situation you experience later, it will be difficult to bring about the growth of xinxing. Throughout your "life", you will be that six or seven-year-old child.

——Rin Shiraishi has seen this with his own eyes during this period of time.

This situation is very similar to the formation process of zombies, but not exactly the same.

The most obvious difference is that Junxiong's spirit body once left his body, and he still maintains this ability until he is resurrected, and can use the form of possession to attach to other animals around him.

The black cat that Rin Shiraishi saw on the window sill of the corridor of the apartment building before was written by Toshio.

——For zombies, it is absolutely taboo for the spirit body to leave the physical body, because their spirit body and physical body are firmly bound together. "when.

after that……

Sadako Iwata discovered the existence of Toshio while breaking through the seal and escaping from the well, and took him away out of some subtle psychology.From then on, they used the identity of mother and child as a disguise.

"Um……"

Now, Shiraishi Rin finally understood the origin of Iwata's "mother and son".

After thinking about it, he asked with some doubts:

"Then, what about Iwata-san?"

What role did Yuta Iwata, who was an insurance salesman on the surface, play in this incident? Could it be another exorcist who strayed into the hospital?

Or, Sadako's former friend?

Iwata Sadako paused for a while before she said: "He... actually has nothing to do with Naruya Hospital, but Toshio and I met after we left Naruya Hospital. Because of some accidents, we got to know each other and agreed to be a family The images of the three appeared, covering up their respective origins...

Because this matter involves the deepest secret of Yuta, and he is not here now, I can't say too much, so I can only tell you, Miss Rin, that 'Yuta Iwata' is not his real name.As for his identity, he is not a wraith like me. "

"Um……"

Rin Shiraishi rubbed his chin, lost in thought.

Well, it seems that her previous guess was quite accurate.

This family of three is really in loose form. Although it looks normal, in fact, there is not even the slightest blood relationship between these three family members. It is purely a coincidence and a coincidence that they can get together. .but……

"Yuta Iwata" is not Mr. Iwata's real name, what does it mean?Could it be that this guy used a fake name, or used the method of possessing a ghost to occupy the magpie's nest, replacing Yuta Iwata who was originally a human?

Volume 360: Chapter [-] Pure Land Shinzong

Rin Shiraishi thought about it, and didn't notice any signs of Iwata Yuta being possessed by evil spirits.

Generally speaking, people with upper body ghosts can still see it quite clearly, especially for people with spiritual vision ability.

Of course, it may also be because Iwata Yuta's technique is relatively clever, and it has been too long to get used to Iwata Yuta's body, so it can't be seen.

But if it is not possessed, then it can only be used as someone else's identity, just like the civet cat for the prince, but the problem is... The Iwata family does not seem to be a wealthy family, just to be a social animal, so it is necessary to spend so much Zhou Zhang?

Or... In fact, Yuta Iwata is also a time traveler?

Finally, when this idea came up, Shiraishi Rin laughed.

Because Iwata Sadako didn't give a clear explanation, she could only spread her own thinking and guess wildly.However, Shiraishi Rin still remembered the reason for his visit. After diverting his thoughts for a while, he stopped these increasingly outrageous thoughts and focused his attention on the eyes again:

"The Futo who set fire to Mingwu Hospital...is it related to those evil cultivators you mentioned just now? In your opinion, was the fire secretly manipulated by someone, or was it purely accidental? "

"……I have no idea."

Iwata Sadako shook her head: "Until that battle broke out, I still knew very little about them. I only knew that they had something to do with the Pure Land Shinzong in the Kanto area. Later, after I came out of the well, I tried to go to the Pure Land Shinzong. I went to Dabenshan to find out, but because there were too many people there, and my strength was greatly depleted due to previous experiences, and I didn't recover for a long time, so I didn't dare to go deep.

Moreover, more than ten years have passed since that incident. I am afraid that even if there is relevant evidence, it will have been destroyed long ago.

But the appearance of that fire was indeed very strange, and a monster like Fudou was unusual in the first place. It was not normal for it to disappear again after appearing in Naruto Hospital, so it cannot be ruled out that it was manipulated by humans. possible. "

After a pause, Iwata Sadako added: "If this is the case, then the person who can control the disaster is definitely not a mediocre person, at least I was still alive, or the two evil cultivators who died with me, I can’t even do it, and that Fudou didn’t pay attention to me from the beginning to the end, and even indirectly helped me out of trouble, so it shouldn’t be a member of the Pure Land Shinzong.”

"understood."

Bai Shilin was silent for a while, and frowned slightly.

She had heard of the name "Pure Land Shinzong".

The rise of Buddhism in Japan is closely related to Prince Shotoku, a politician in the Asuka era. The latter was the second son of the emperor at the time. He joined forces with the Soga family to implement reforms and introduced a large number of cultures and systems from China, including Buddhism. culture.

However, since its introduction, Buddhism in Japan has been in chaos. Except for the fact that Master Jianzhen formulated a series of rules and regulations when he traveled to the East, most of the rest of the time was in the process of ontological transformation.First, the monk Zuicheng proposed "practice at home", which greatly weakened the concept of "receiving precepts", and then another Master Shinluan established the Pure Land Shinzong.

This branch of Buddhism pays attention to "calling the Buddha's name and chanting the Buddha's original vows". The translation means that as long as you shout the Buddha's name, you can go to the Western Paradise after death.

The formation of this kind of concept has a lot to do with Master Shinran, the founder of the Pure Land Shinzong. This monk not only ate meat from his wife’s belt, but also found a high-sounding reason for himself, saying that he dreamed of Prince Shotoku while dreaming. Claiming that because of the karma of the previous life, Shinluan will definitely break the lust ring in this life, so she will become a "Jade Girl" to marry him, help him overcome the lust ring, and then extradite him to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss after his death... um, This kind of reason is of course nonsensical to people with discerning eyes, but in the Heian era when people's wisdom is ignorant, I am afraid that some people really believe it.

Since then, Master Shinluan has made friends with female believers in the name of enlightening Buddhism, married two wives, and had a bunch of children.

These circumstances caused a great shock in the Japanese Buddhist circle at that time. Even the emperor at that time heard about the "Jade Maiden", but he did not respond, and even indirectly provided support for Venerable Shinran.

I just don't know which of these two wives is the "Jade Girl" incarnated by Prince Shotoku.

In other words, fortunately, Prince Shotoku did not die depressed and did not become a vengeful spirit. If this person's life experience is similar to that of Hei Shomon or Emperor Sutoku, he might become the fifth largest vengeful spirit in Japan. Then he came directly to the door and took Master Shinluan to climb to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss.

Closer to home.

It is precisely because the Pure Land Shinzong does not pay attention to precepts that even the treacherous and evil people can "get the Buddha's forgiveness" as long as they shout the Buddha's name on their lips or even think about it in their hearts, so the power of this sect has developed rapidly. , And cultivated a large number of monks and soldiers to interfere in politics, becoming a real warlord.In particular, the monks and soldiers of Hongan Temple and Enryaku Temple were the most arrogant, and even intervened in the melee during the Warring States Period in an attempt to challenge the status of the samurai daimyos.

Even Oda Nobunaga was once battered by the monks and soldiers of Honganji Temple, but in the end they were smashed.

——Leaving aside the possibility that Oda Nobunaga is the ghost girl Momiji pretending to be, the title of the "Sixth Heaven Demon Lord" of the Warring States hero is precisely because of this.

To this day, the Pure Land Shinzong is still the largest branch of Buddhism in Japan, and basically all the monks who play with flowers are descendants of this line.On the contrary, those temples that pay attention to the rules and regulations, because they cannot compete with the Pure Land Shinzong, have gradually declined, and now there are not many people left.

This information was read by Shiraishi Rin in the special class books.

To be honest, she has a very bad impression of "Jodo Shinzong".

In her opinion, after all, whether it is Master Qinluan or those monks and soldiers, they are no different from cults.It's just cheating the world under the guise of Buddhism.And as it stands now...

Being able to target the Jodo Shinzong shows that Iwata Sadako has already investigated a lot of information, but there is no need to tell her all about this information.After all, from Sadako Iwata's point of view, the relationship between the two is just between the landlord and the tenant, and her landlord only came here recently after Genichiro's death.Although they are considered acquaintances, they can only be regarded as friends, not "companions".

If Genichiro was still around, maybe Sadako Iwata would have said more...

VOLUME 361: Chapter [-] The Secret of Shiraishi Apartment

Rin Shiraishi thought for a while, and after thinking to no avail, he temporarily pressed the topic, and then slowly raised the most important question:

"Then, I also want to ask, Aunt Sadako, what is the 'Secret of Shiraishi Apartment' you mentioned just now?"

"This one……"

Sadako Iwata's expression hesitated for a moment, and she glanced at the floor under her feet—that is, the direction of Room 301 where the ghost girl Momiji is located, before continuing: "Maybe you have noticed it, Miss Shiraishi. This area is actually a bit special. Because this place is actually a rare 'yin area'."

"Yin domain?"

Shiraishi Rin's eyelids twitched.

This is not the first time she has heard of this name.

The last time I heard it was when I asked Misato Shimoshima about the Sendagaya Tunnel.

This kind of place is actually a place where a large amount of Yin Qi gathers in essence, and the reason for the condensation is often due to the special geographical environment, usually in places where mountains or underground undercurrents pass by.For example, the Tokugawa cemetery above the Sendagaya Tunnel is a "shady area", and even raised 400-year-old zombies like Hayami Iris.

And if it wasn't for the existence of Calamus, which acted as a "human pillar" to suppress the yin energy accumulated in Xianshouyuan, I am afraid that this cemetery has already been occupied by ghosts and monsters, and it has been reduced to a ghostland on earth.

There are no mountains near Shiraishi's apartment, and it is a little closer to Sumida River, but not very close. Most importantly, Shiraishi Rin has never felt that there is any special place near the apartment.

Hmm... not at all.

The yin inside and outside of Shiraishi's apartment is indeed a little more intense than ordinary places, but it is only "a little", not much, at least in Shiraishi's view, it has not reached the level that can be called "yin domain".

Shiraishi Rin had always thought that the reason for this difference was the existence of a group of tenants who were either ghosts or demons in the apartment.After all, places where ghosts gather must be colder and easier than other places.But listening to Iwata Sadako's words... it seems that there is something else hidden?

"Yes."

Iwata Sadako nodded, and continued: "The reason why you, Miss Rin, and the nearby residents and even the special class are not too aware of this is actually because the existence of Shiraishi Apartment itself has formed a kind of The extremely special formation absorbs and seals up most of the yin qi bred from this yin domain.

As for whether the sealed yin energy is used to maintain the formation or has been eliminated, it is beyond my knowledge. I am afraid that only Mr. Xianichiro knows the most specific situation.

In addition, there will be a small amount of Yin Qi remaining, which will be integrated into the inside and outside of the apartment, turned into Yin Qi and diffused in the surrounding air, and will be swallowed and absorbed by us tenants as food.

This is also the reason why the long-term tenants in the Baishi apartment are almost all non-human, because this kind of place is generally not good for human beings, and may even damage their luck and even their lifespan.But for us sneaky monsters, it is the best place to live. "

"And... this kind of thing?"

Shiraishi narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze became a little suspicious.

Such an explanation is indeed reasonable.

Because things like yin qi are a great tonic for ghosts, the more the better—the premise is that it does not contain a lot of hostility at the same time—even if it does not improve the strength, it is only in the mood. Live more comfortably;

For example, Sadako Iwata, who was able to restore her strength from the weak state when she just left the wellhead to the level where she can wipe out a living person in an instant, must have something to do with this special environment filled with yin.

But for ordinary people, especially those who don't have the quality of psychics, this kind of environment is almost useless. It doesn't matter if you get in touch for a short time, but after a long time, you will easily get sick, luck decline, etc. And so on, even life-span is shortened.

Gu Chuan Xiaofu and Qing Shui Chongyi encountered unexpected accidents one after another, and there may not be no reason for this.

But these two guys are actually hard-fated——

Qingshui Chongyi himself was not injured, and the accident he encountered was mainly due to Baizu Dazang's reckless actions.If that centipede can be a little bit more measured, it won't make the situation like this.

As for Mr. Gu Chuan, it was mainly a matter of luck. A private investigator like him who helps others investigate murders is already prone to revenge from the murderer, so encountering accidents is almost inevitable.It's just that it may be because I have lived in Baishi Apartment for a long time, and this time node has been brought forward.

And from another point of view, if Genichiro Shiraishi hadn't passed away, they might not have encountered such a thing,

At least……

Genichiro Shiraishi should be capable of restraining Momozudazo, otherwise, eating like that guy would have already attracted the attention of the special class.

(It seems that Shimizu Takaichi's move away is a good thing for him...)

Shiraishi Rin thought so.
