My tenants are monsters

Except for the concept of "Nation of Underworld", which is not beneficial for ordinary people, even ordinary exorcists, Shiraishi Rin told Nogi Maki about the rest of the content.The latter heard it in his ears, and gradually showed a surprised expression on his face. After thinking for a while, he picked out a certain detail in this sentence:

"Little Lin, are you saying that the maiden named Bai Shuiqiu is known as 'Linghe Sword Master'?"

"Yes, Izayoi said so."

Rin Shiraishi nodded, then looked at the girl beside him: "Why, Maki, do you know her?"

"I don't really know, it's just... I seem to have heard of such a name."

Under Shiraishi Rin's gaze, I saw Nogi Maki rubbing his chin with one hand, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "It seems to be Minister Qingchuan, who mentioned it to me once before, so I probably have a little impression... …About three or four years ago, there was a Katori Shinto-style swordsman master who challenged all the kendo schools in Japan in just three months, and even many kendo masters were defeated by him. His subordinates, that's why he was recognized as the Sword Master of Dongpu...

At that time, Minister Qingchuan was only a kendo apprentice, and he was taught by Yu Katori Shinto-style Shindai demonstration. When he heard the teacher talk about this matter, he was fascinated for a while.

It's just that the minister didn't mention that person's age and gender, so I didn't expect that this 'juggernaut' was actually a girl, and she was only in her early 20s...

If it is really like what you said, Xiao Lin, then I am afraid that even if she is compared with those ancient swordsmen, she will not be too far behind, right? "

"Indeed."

[Grandmaster] level swordsmanship, no matter what era it is in, can only be possessed by those who stand at the top of the field of swordsmanship.If it was born in ancient times, it should be able to leave a strong mark in history.

but……

Bai Shuiqiu actually reached this level three or four years ago?At that time, she was probably only sixteen or seventeen years old, right?

Shiraishi Rin himself is also at the master level of swordsmanship.

But she is very clear about her own strength. She was able to obtain this ability at the age of seventeen or eighteen, which was entirely due to the function of the system, and there was a bit of coincidence in it——[Ancient Flow Sword Technique (Grand Master) ] It wasn’t that she exchanged it from the system mall, but a reward from a special task. If I remember correctly, that task is still an old task that has expired... If Ping Wuyue hadn’t returned to the present world at this point in time, it would have happened again If Shiraishi Apartment comes to renew the lease, she probably won't have the chance to get this skill.

From this point of view, Bai Shuiqiu's aptitude in swordsmanship can only be described as monstrous.

"Well, don't worry about so much, let's prepare for the class later."

"Ah."

While talking, the two had already arrived at the class and spread out their books to prepare for class.

A day passed slowly.

After school in the afternoon, Shiraishi Rin and Nogi Maki went to the kendo club together for a while, then left the campus together, sat in a dessert house near the station for a while, ate something and talked about love for a while, and then reluctantly said goodbye , walking towards the direction of the tram station and the villa area respectively.

Go home.

Rin Shiraishi took off his shoes at the entrance, closed the door of the living room, and began to search around in room 101.

Living room, balcony, bedroom, kitchen... Shiraishi Rin even lay down on the ground, knocked each floor one by one, listened to the sound, and confirmed that none of them was hollow before rubbing it with a headache. Rubbing between the eyebrows: "Sure enough, there is no so-called secret tunnel, can it lead to that 'basement'?"

This situation is somewhat disappointing.

But, it actually makes sense.

Because in the so-called "basement", the entrance to the "Nation of Yellow Springs" is sealed, as well as the sealing formation that Shiraishi Yixin and Baishui Sana jointly set up back then.If it was really an ordinary underground darkroom, if it could be found so easily, it would probably have been dug out long ago.Among other things, Sadako Iwata, as a wraith, should be able to float in directly.

On the other hand, Shiraishi Rin's [Fox Perception] can theoretically detect the existence of spiritual power and Yin Qi, but even when she releases this spell, she still cannot detect the exact location of the "basement". Location.From this point of view, the existence of this "basement" is likely to be isolated from the Baishi apartment above the ground.

And the "isolation" here still exists on both physical and magical levels.

There is no secret passage, which means that there is probably a cement layer between the "basement" and the above-ground part.

——The time when the sealing formation was set up was 30 years ago, when the Baishi apartment was just built, and it is likely to be different from the current apartment style.After Ping Wuyue left, Isshin Shiraishi and later Genichiro started construction to seal up the "basement", and there was plenty of time.And with the remoteness of Baishi Apartment, this kind of project will not disturb others as long as you pay a little attention.

And [Fox Perception] could not detect the "basement", which means that besides sealing, the magic circle probably also has the function of shielding spells.

In this way, it is not an easy task to find out the location of this formation without the guidance of someone who knows the inside story.

"Play some role, system."

Shiraishi Rin whispered in his heart, although he didn't expect to see the system come out to respond to him, but he was still a little disappointed when nothing changed after waiting for a while.

"Let's go outside and have a look later. If it doesn't work, just ask Ping Wuyue..."

There was no communication in Peaceful May before, mainly because Shiraishi Rin didn't know her situation well, and she didn't know what topics could be raised and what topics were taboo.

And now.

After knowing the ins and outs of 30 years ago from Bai Shuiqiu, Shiraishi Rin can't be said to have a complete understanding of Ping Wuyue, but at least he already knows what the latter's goal is.Since Baishi Yixin was able to allow her to use the "Gate of the Underworld" back then, and Ping Wuyue's return this time was so peaceful, it at least shows that the relationship between the two parties is not hostile.The possibility of peaceful exchanges is quite high.

Then there is the ghost girl Hongye...

This time at the Asakura Shrine, the few words Bai Shuiqiu said have already shown that the ghost girl Hongye's purpose in searching for the "Nation of Underworld" is another mystery.If the purpose of the incarnation of the Sixth Heaven Demon King was to "destroy the world" as in the myth, Bai Shuiqiu would not encourage himself to die like this.Therefore, things may be different from the usual imagined results, and may even be a little dramatic.

Regarding this, Shiraishi Rin had a little vague guess in his heart.

But if you want to verify this guess, you can only find an opportunity to ask the ghost girl Hongye herself.

Volume 396: Chapter 6.1 The Ghost Girl Hongye's Invitation (Two in One, Supplement [-])

For the next few days, Shiraishi Rin would search for it on the first floor of the apartment after returning home from school every afternoon.

First is 101 where I live, then 102 as a utility room, and then to several rooms on the inner side.

Even outside the apartment, Shiraishi Rin took the opportunity of cleaning and feeding the stray cats to carefully turn around a few times.

At this time, Rin Shiraishi was a little fortunate that Takaichi Shimizu, who previously lived in 105, had moved away.

With the departure of this one, the tenants who now live on the first floor of the apartment are basically close to her.For example, Ogino mother and daughter, Hayami Iris, Mimiko Mizunuma... So as long as Shiraishi Rin opens his mouth, he can easily enter their rooms to search and explore.

——If she hadn't rejected the ghost girl Hongye's request to let the latter live on the first floor, I'm afraid her intention would have been exposed since she first started searching.

And in fact...

Even if the scope of the search is limited to only one floor, and Shiraishi Rin has made his actions as secret as possible, and even only finds one house every day, and the time does not exceed half an hour, but after a few days in a row, it still caused a lot of trouble. The attention of the ghost girl Hongye.Until the evening of Friday, Shiraishi Rin had a brief training in the kendo department as usual. When he came back from school, just a few steps out of the station, he saw Hongye, a ghost girl, standing in front of a nearby convenience store with a few bags of things. Like waiting for someone.

Almost at the same time Shiraishi Rin looked over, the ghost girl Hongye waved and smiled slightly:

"Are you back, little Rin?"

"Uh...it's Sister Hongye, good afternoon, is there...what's the matter?"

Bai Shilin paused, and responded with some hesitation.

"Well, I went out to buy some snacks. I didn't expect to meet you by such a coincidence. Shall we go back together?"

"OK……"

Shiraishi said in his heart what a coincidence, since school started, she came back from the station around this time every day, and never once met the ghost girl Hongye, this woman was clearly waiting for her on purpose.But at this moment, Shiraishi Rin couldn't refuse, so he could only nod his head, and then staggered a little distance from the ghost girl Hongye, and walked together in the direction of [-]-chome.

Along the way, the two chatted a few words about homework.

Finally, the ghost girl Hongye sighed first, and got to the point: "By the way, Xiao Lin, are you afraid of me?"

"No...why did you say that suddenly?"

"Ah."

The ghost girl Hongye paused, turned her head to look at Shiraishi Rin, a pair of slightly long and narrow phoenix eyes fell on Shiraishi Rin, until she subconsciously looked up, and then looked away a little guilty, before she spoke again: "Go up You stayed outside for the weekend, probably you saw that little girl from the Baishui family again? And after you came back that day, you started looking for something in the apartment, if I guessed correctly...

Probably looking for the sealing formation that Shiraishi Yixin and Baishui Sana left together? "

"?!"

Shiraishin's heart skipped a beat.

The ghost girl Hongye has already continued to say: "Well, you are now the owner of the Shiraishi apartment and the only successor of the Shiraishi family blood in this generation. It is indeed time to tell you this information. I think, if If I don't take the initiative to find you, you will probably wait until that girl in May comes back from the outside before asking her for details, right?"

"……Yes."

Shiraishi Rin nodded in acknowledgment.

In fact, even denying it is meaningless, because Shiraishi Rin thinks so in her heart, unless she can behave like a well-trained agent in the face of emergencies without doing anything strange, otherwise even the eyes There is no way to hide even the slightest fluctuation in the sky in front of the ghost girl Hongye, an old monster who has lived for more than 1000 years and is proficient in human nature.

only……

The essence of this kind of psychological appearance is that Shiraishi Rin has a greater tendency towards Ping Wuyue than the ghost girl Hongye in her heart, and even subconsciously feels a little guilty about the ghost girl Hongye, so she prioritized asking her about the situation to Ping Wuyue later.It's a pity that after these few days, Ping Wuyue never showed up. Shiraishi Rin originally planned to knock on the door of 404 to ask, but unexpectedly, the ghost girl Hongye couldn't hold back.

"It seems that it is so."

The ghost girl Hongye smiled, "If you want to enter the 'basement' through the secret passage or the cellar facilities, I can advise you, don't waste your time. Because the 'basement' is nothing like As you imagine, it is a space built on a physical level with construction tools, and it is not even in the world where human beings live. Of course...

Nor in the 'Nation of the Underworld'.

If you don't know the correct way to enter, even if you dig the foundation under this apartment and dig three feet, you won't find anything. "

"Ok?"

Shiraishi Rin's eyelids twitched.

Not in this world, not in the "Nation of Underworld"... What does it mean?

Could it be that the "basement" has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements?But... This kind of state is probably difficult even for those legendary monsters and even gods. Baishui Sana and Baishi Yixin actually had this ability back then?

Seeing Shiraishi Rin's slightly puzzled expression, the ghost girl Hongye smiled lightly, and then raised her chin: "Well, it's not convenient to talk here, so come to my room and talk about it. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't want to listen." , I just need to remind you that there are very few people who know this information and are still alive today.

The girl from the Ping family can't tell when she will come back, now you can't find anyone other than me to listen to these stories. "

While talking, the two had arrived at the door of Baishi's apartment.

The ghost girl Hongye first walked to the stairs leading to the upstairs, and looked back at Rin Shiraishi, as if waiting for her to make a decision whether to go upstairs with her or go home directly.

"..."

Shiraishi Rin hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Indeed, the only ones who experienced that incident 30 years ago and have survived until now are the ghost girls Hongye, Hei Wuyue, and Shirazu Sana who is far away in Chiba County.Under the circumstance that the latter has no chance to contact, and Ping Wuyue is elusive and rarely seen once, Hongye, the ghost girl who comes and goes in and out of Shiraishi's apartment almost every day, is the most stable source of information.Rin Shiraishi did have some questions, and wanted to get answers from her.

As for the little risk you need to take for this...

It is also reasonable,

Shiraishi Rin didn't think that the ghost girl Hongye would kill herself because her secret was leaked - she didn't need to go back to the room if she really wanted to do that.Other than that, as long as the woman doesn't "eat" herself, it's not a big problem.

Deng Deng staring -

Two footsteps, one in front of the other, slowly walked upstairs.

Shiraishi Rin stopped at the entrance of the corridor on the third floor, watching the ghost girl Hongye open the door of 301.

In fact, this door is not closed, and you don't even need a key, it can be opened with a simple push.But the people who are still living in this apartment now know the real identity of the ghost girl Hongye without exception, so they probably wouldn't take the risk of offending this big monster to sneak into her room.

Even Rin Shiraishi, who is the landlord, stepped into 301 for the first time after more than a month.

——The last time I came in was in January and the two days just after the winter vacation, in order to bring the newly moved ghost girl Hongye and Heping May to look at the house.

After that, this room has been used by the ghost girl Hongye herself.

It can be seen that a lot of changes have taken place in the room than before.
