My tenants are monsters

"Let's stop here first."

Bai Shuiqiu finally stopped talking, took a few sips from a bottle of water, and let out a sigh of relief: "Actually, both of you are very talented in swordsmanship, and what I rely on is that you are slightly older. How old are you? When you grow up to my age, I'm afraid you should be able to be my teacher in terms of swordsmanship."

"Miss Qiu is serious."

Shiraishi Rin didn't take this polite remark seriously, but responded with a few words humbly.Guessing that today's "teaching" is almost here, I thought in my heart when I should bid farewell.

At this moment, Bai Shuiqiu put down the bottle in his hand: "That's right. I came here not just to exchange swordsmanship with you. In fact, there are other purposes. I prepared to deal with one matter, and This matter has something to do with you, Xiao Lin."

"Ok?"

Bai Shilin's eyes flickered, and he looked back at Bai Shuiqiu.

In fact, she also guessed that Bai Shuiqiu must have said something related to the supernatural level.Otherwise, it would be a bit wasteful for several people to get together and simply compete in swordsmanship.It's just that Shiraishi Rin doesn't know when the girl raised the topic, and what kind of content she wants to talk about.

Now, the former question needs no answer, and the latter...

"It's about the ghost girl Hongye Heping May, and the apartment in your house, sister Xiaolin."

Bai Shuiqiu seemed to have the ability to read minds, and explained Bai Shilin's thoughts in one sentence.

Is it related to... Baishi Apartment?

What would that be?

Under Shiraishi Rin's slightly suspicious gaze, Bai Shuiqiu thought for a while, and then said: "Where should I start...Xiao Rin, you should already know about Mount Fuji from Izayoi, right? Then, you must have heard of the place 'Nation of the Underworld'."

"um, yes……"

Rin Shiraishi nodded, and glanced at Nogi Maki: "I heard from Sister Izayoi that there is a place isolated from the real world, just like the underworld and the inner world in the story. There are only a very few special species. Ghosts and demons can walk through it, but most human beings are not included, so no one knows what that 'country' looks like.

In addition...

I also heard that the crater of Mount Fuji seems to be a suspected entrance to the "Nation of Underworld", and May Hime has been looking for a way to enter there, in order to rescue Taira Shomon who was exiled there. "

"Yes."

Bai Shuiqiu patiently listened to Bai Shilin's words, first nodded slightly, and then said: "What you said is indeed the information that the special class has now, and it is not wrong. However, there are actually some information, yes What the special class doesn't know, and even the Asakura family doesn't know."

"Eh?"

Now, before Shiraishi Rin could respond, Izayo who was next to him opened his eyes slightly with surprise on his face: "Sister Qiu, do you... know any inside information? Could it be Senior Sana..."

"Well, the matter I want to talk about is indeed related to Grandma Sana. Moreover, it is also related to the ghost girl Hongye who just moved to your place, Hei Wuyue, and even the senior Shiraishi Genichiro back then. "

Volume 392: Chapter 404 "[-]"

"..."

Shiraishi Rin and Shizaiye glanced at each other, but did not speak, but waited silently for Bai Shuiqiu to continue talking.

And Bai Shuiqiu didn't mean to be tricky on purpose, so after taking a light breath, he continued what he just said:

"The 'Nation of the Underworld' exists. This is beyond doubt.

Moreover, apart from a few monsters such as Qing Xingdeng, there are actually some human beings who are born with the ability to enter there.For example, Abe Seimei in the Heian period was one.In addition, such characters also appeared in the ancestors of my Baishui family, and even Grandma Sana went there...

However, all those who have been there and returned smoothly chose to keep silent about the existence of the "Nation of Underworld". The exorcist is completely ignorant of this information. "

Bai Shuiqiu said this amazing news in an understatement tone, and paused for a while, as if to give Shiraishi Rin and Izayoi some time to digest, and then continued:

"There are two main reasons why this news was sealed up.

First, the 'Nation of the Underworld' itself is a very dangerous place, filled with a large number of demons and ghosts, some of which have appeared in human history, and some only exist in human imagination.And most of these things that have never appeared before are some 'evil things'.Their abilities, habits, and even the way of reproduction are unimaginable for humans living in this world, and they may be tricked if they are not careful.

Even an onmyoji as powerful as Abe Seimei can't guarantee that he can come and go freely in it, and the others are even closer to death.

It is true that some people never came back after entering the world over there.When Grandma Sana entered for the first time that year, she also encountered unspeakable dangers. Fortunately, she had [Onikiri] bodyguard in her hand, and she was accompanied by several shikigami, so she was able to protect her whole body. And retreat.

Therefore, it is useless for ordinary exorcists to know the news, and it may cause unnecessary casualties and panic.

The 'Hyakumonogatari Incident' of the Edo period is such an example.If the exorcism community knew about the existence of the 'Nation of Underworld', there would be more people who would try to do this kind of exploration, but more than [-]% of the people who entered the 'Nation of Underworld' would never come back.Either he was killed by the evil thing over there, or he was lost in the world over there and could never find his way back.

The second, and even more frightening point, is that the existence of the "Nation of Underworld" does not seem to be a complete entity, but is mixed with some "conceptual" properties.

Specifically, its constituent elements are not physical elements such as stones, soil, and trees that are common in the real world, but exist on a conceptual level.For example, all kinds of negative emotions in the real world from ancient times to the present - despair, resentment, fear, anger... These emotions have actually been absorbed by the "Nation of the Underworld" in a way that we cannot understand. After hundreds of thousands of years of accumulation, and constitute a part of it.

This is also the main reason why those 'evil things' were born from there.

Some people who are born with a keen spiritual sense will 'see' this absorption process in their sleep, and draw it out through their own abilities.Such as text, painting, photography...etc.Although the parties thought that these were just their own sudden whims, in fact, their source of inspiration may be the "land of the underworld" that is isolated from the world.

Under such circumstances, if the existence of the "Nation of the Underworld" is known and confirmed by most human beings, then the resulting fear and despair may erupt in the form of a blowout, and then make the "Nation of the Underworld" unstoppable. The predicted speed expands, and even "invades" the real world we live in when a certain opportunity is met.

Although there is no conclusive evidence to support this judgment, according to our speculation, the more times the 'entrances' to the kingdom of the underworld are opened, the greater the chance of this possibility becoming a reality.

And once that kind of situation really happens, it will be a great disaster for Dongpu and even the entire human world.Even if Abe Seimei comes back to life, it may be difficult to resolve it. "

"..."

Neither Shiraishi Rin nor Izayoi spoke, but silently pondered and digested what Bai Shuiqiu said, the horror in their hearts slowly rose, as if an undercurrent began to surge.

Honestly...

The amount of information contained in these intelligences is a bit large.

Well... not exactly "kinda big" but really big!

Just by looking at Shizayoi's astonished expression, one can see how top-secret information Bai Shuiqiu just said is.

It seems that the top group of people in the exorcism world have long been aware of the existence of the "Nation of Underworld".And it has been researched and explored in some ways.However, due to various subjective and objective reasons, these research results were blocked and not disclosed to others.They don't even know about the Asakura Shrine, which has been passed down for thousands of years, and the special class that deals with supernatural events.

But think about it.

If the "Nation of the Underworld" can really absorb the negative emotions in the real world, then when an exorcist with spiritual power feels panic and despair, the negative emotions may be stronger than ordinary people. In extreme cases, the possible actions and the resulting damage are far more serious than ordinary people.

Therefore, if this news is disclosed to the entire exorcism world early, it is indeed likely to cause some unexpected turmoil.

but……

What is the relationship between the "Nation of Underworld" and the ghost girl Hongye?

Ping Wuyue wants to go there to find Ping Jiangmen, Shiraishi Rin knows, but the ghost girl Hongye has no rumors related to the "Nation of Underworld", even if she is looking for fun, there is no need to go to such a dangerous place to find .And the "plastic friendship" of the ghost girl Hongye Heping Wuyue seems not enough to support her to help Ping Wuyue find her father.

And my own apartment...

In fact, when Shiraishi Rin heard this, he also had some thoughts in his heart.

As the current owner of the Shiraishi Apartment, she has a relatively good understanding of the situation of the house she inherited—to be precise, before meeting the Iwata couple, her understanding of the Shiraishi Apartment can only be said to be general, until she met this After several in-depth conversations with the couple, they learned some news that they had never known before.For example..."Yin Domain"!

From the outside, Baishi Apartment is ordinary, and there seems to be nothing special about it.

But in fact, the location of this apartment is actually a very rare "yin area".

It's just that because of the existence of a certain formation, most of the yin qi bred from this "yin domain" has been gathered and sealed up, so the feeling it usually gives is not so obvious.It will only feel a little bit cold, but people who don't know the inside story will definitely not associate it with "Yin Yu".

——This is what Iwata Sadako said, and Shiraishi Rin hasn't had time to verify it yet.

In fact, there is no way to verify it.

Because the only conclusive evidence is actually the existence of that formation.

Without finding out the exact location of this formation, no amount of analysis and guessing can give the answer of "possible".But now, Genichiro Shiraishi, the only person who knew the truth and who may have arranged the formation, is no longer there, and he didn't leave a will or anything before his death.Since even the Iwata couple, who have lived in Shiraishi's apartment for ten years, have not found the location of the formation, Shiraishi Rin has only lived in it for more than half a year, and it has been nearly a month since he knew the news, so naturally it is not so easy to find it .

and so……

If what Bai Shuiqiu said just now has something to do with Baishi Apartment, then there is a high probability that it is related to the nature of the "yin domain" where Baishi Apartment is located.

Even, Rin Shiraishi suspected that the senior Sana from the Shiraishi family might have met Genichiro Shiraishi several years ago, and knew some inside information about Shiraishi's apartment.

To be honest, Shiraishi Rin doesn't care about any other possibility.

She is a little worried now that her apartment is not only a "Yin Yuyu", but also has some direct connection with the "Nation of Underworld", for example, like the crater of Mount Fuji, it is also one of the entrances to the "Nation of Underworld"... This is true It can explain why Ping Wuyue wants to rent a house in his own apartment, and renew the lease as soon as the time comes, but for Shiraishi Rin, this is the most terrifying possibility!

Thinking of her as an ordinary time traveler, she got the inheritance of such a house by chance, and also happened to get a standard system for time travelers. He also indirectly assumed the role of "the gatekeeper of the gate of the underworld"... Shouldn't this kind of thing be spread on tall people like the Baishui family or the Asakura Shrine?

Hmm... Bai Shui's house seems to have indeed been set up, because according to Bai Shuiqiu, that senior Sana also entered the "Nation of Underworld".

Shiraishi Rin had a headache for a moment.

the other side.

Asakura Izayo rubbed his chin with one hand, thoughtfully: "So it's like this... Then, during the decades when Wu Yueji disappeared, did she really go to the 'Nation of Underworld'? 30 Years ago..."

At that time, Baishui Sana was only about 40 years old, and it should be the time when her spiritual power was the strongest, maybe...

Izayoi did not say the last half of the sentence directly.

But Bai Shilin and Bai Shuiqiu could guess in their hearts.

The latter nodded slightly: "Yes, it should be so in theory. And not only 30 years ago, but as early as 500 years ago in the Warring States Period, she should have tried to enter once, but I don't know if it was successful that time. As for At that time 30 years ago, she should have indeed found an entrance to the 'Nation of Underworld', and entered that world through that entrance, and then stayed until now, 30 years later, before finally returning smoothly.

But because the entrance and exit of the "Nation of Underworld" are not in the same place, and may not even be a fixed location, it is different from the "doors and windows" that we can see in the real world, but a conceptual level , Therefore, the coordinates of Mayhime's return to the present world are hundreds of kilometers away from when she entered, that is, at the crater of Mount Fuji.

Regardless of the entrance or exit, once the connecting point connecting the "Nation of Underworld" and the present world is activated, it will have a slight or severe impact on the nearby ecology. Therefore, it will be calculated by Lie and quickly notified to Mount Fuji. Asama Shrine, there is also a special lesson in the Kanto region.

This is probably what happened in the half month after New Year's Day. "

As early as two or three weeks ago, Shiraishi Rin had heard about it at Izayoi, and someone used hexagrams to calculate that an 'accident' was about to happen on Mount Fuji.

It seems that it should be the "Li Hui" mentioned in Bai Shuiqiu's words.I just don't know which family this person is from, whether it is an onmyoji, or a witch - the name should be a girl, so the possibility of a priest can be ruled out first.

And what Bai Shuiqiu said about Ping Wuyue's actions finally confirmed the ominous guess in Bai Shilin's heart.

"Then, where is the 'entrance' that Wu Yueji found back then?"

Asakura Izayo didn't know the inside story, so at this moment he was still a bit puzzled and asked.

But Bai Shuiqiu didn't mean to answer directly, but turned to look at Baishi Lin.

Under the gaze of the Miko of the Baishui family, Rin Shiraishi sighed: "It should be the Shiraishi apartment."

More precisely, room "404" in the Shiraishi apartment.

It is precisely because Ping Wuyue entered the "Nation of Underworld" through Room 30 404 years ago, so after returning now, she will quickly return to Tokyo after solving the immediate troubles, and then ask Rin Shiraishi to renew the lease of Room 404.In this way, Ping Wuyue's slightly strange behavior can be explained clearly.

But Rin Shiraishi still has a little doubt——

She herself had entered room 404, and stayed in it for a while, and found nothing abnormal in the room.If that room is really the "entrance"... Maybe it's because the opening time hasn't arrived yet, and it's in the "cooling down period"?Or, is it that her physique is not so special, so she is not qualified to "see" and enter the "Nation of Underworld" through the entrance?

The possibility of the latter also exists, because according to what Bai Shuiqiu said just now, there are only a very small number of people who can enter the "Nation of Underworld". It is normal for people who can only obtain spiritual medium quality to not have this special ability.Moreover, as far as Shiraishi Rin is concerned, she actually hopes that she does not have this ability.

After all, this is not a good thing...
