My tenants are monsters

That night, Rin Shiraishi took a shower early, chatted with Maki Nogi on the line for a while, and went to bed to rest.

The next day, she called Bai Shuiqiu first.

——After training swordsmanship together last time, Shiraishi Rin had already exchanged contact information with this witch.

During the phone call, Bai Shuiqiu was not surprised by her actions:

"Hey, Xiao Lin, have you communicated with the ghost girl Hongye, then, she should also tell you about her relationship with the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven? Well, although I personally don't like the frivolous character of the ghost girl Hongye, But at least in this matter, she didn't lie, her intentions are the same as ours."

and……"

"The distance between the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven and the present world we live in is indeed very close."

"Oh?"

Bai Shilin raised his eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, he asked curiously, "Did Sister Qiu find anything?"

"That's it."

Bai Shuiqiu nodded slightly: "Xiao Lin, you are not in close contact with the special class, and you may not know it very well. Since December last year, the number and frequency of supernatural events in the entire Dongpu have increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. Especially It is a few special coordinate nodes that have been opened as passages leading to the "Nation of the Underworld" in history. These phenomena indicate that there are likely to be some changes that we do not know in the "Nation of the Underworld" that lead to that The breath of the world is slowly overflowing into the present world, eroding the world we live in.

Even if there is no such thing as the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven, at the current rate of development, the number of supernatural events in Dongpu will reach two to three times the previous average level within two to three months at least, or half a year at most.And it is very likely that there will be some large-scale spiritual events, causing more and more people to be involved.

In addition, the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven is also trying to come back to the world...

So three months is even a conservative estimate. According to the calculation of Miss Rie I mentioned before, the time for the accident to occur is likely to be within one and a half months. Get involved. "

In the process of Bai Shuiqiu's narration, Bai Shilin did not speak, and kept listening silently, until the former stopped, and couldn't help asking: "Well, I would like to ask, what is the origin of that 'Rie' sister? , could it be the chief priestess of the Ise Shrine?"

Ise Shrine is the highest shrine in Japan, and it nominally controls the personnel changes of all shrines.Its presiding priestess is the supreme commander of Shintoism, known as "Sai-o".

The main reason is that the Ise Shrine enshrines Amaterasu Omikami, the main god of the Japanese royal family—the latter is also the head of the three noble sons and the eldest daughter of the father god Izanagi. When his father has retired, Basically, it can be roughly regarded as the highest god in the Japanese pantheon—and because of this, the Ise Shrine has always been in charge of the Japanese imperial family. All the palace ministers are also born nobles.

Although the contact with the exorcism world during this period of time has told Rin Shiraishi that the prestige of the shrine is not directly linked to the level of real strength.

But an existence with such a transcendent status as Ise Jingu must still have some real skills.

However, Bai Shuiqiu shook his head and denied: "No, Lie is actually a descendant of the Asakura family, but it is not Kanto Asakura, but Kyoto Asakura, who is the priestess of the Yasaka Shrine. Although in terms of spiritual strength , she can only be regarded as the upper middle class in those shrines and onmyoji families in Kyoto, and she can't compare with Saio of Ise Shrine, but if it is the art of divination, then no one in Dongying now should be able to overwhelm her head."

"Hey, so it's like this..."

Next, Bai Shuiqiu explained a few more words.

The identity of this Rie Asakura is naturally needless to say.

But her fortune-telling skills are a bit over the top——

Even the number one divinationist in Japan, Asakura Rie's divination skills are not omnipotent, let alone omniscient.

This situation is normal, because divination is only a type of magic after all.Those who are proficient in divination can calculate more and more accurate information in a larger range than those who have just tried it. However, there are several situations where it is difficult to calculate, that is, things that happened in the long past, and What happened in the "Nation of Underworld".

The former is easy to understand. A fortune-teller born in this era would never be able to figure out a secret that was unknown 100 years ago.If that were the case, there would be no unsolved mysteries in this world.

And the latter...

"The barrier between the kingdom of the underworld and the present world is insurmountable by spiritual power. Only when the strength reaches the level of the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven can we use magical means to attack the world over there without passing through the body." exert influence, and ordinary people do not have such ability at all, so it is impossible to figure out what happened in the 'Nation of Underworld'."

Bai Shuiqiu said.

"...No wonder you want to find May."

Rin Shiraishi understood, and thought for a while: "Then, if Senior Rie can't figure out the 'Nation of Underworld', how would he know that there will be a major change within a month and a half?"

"Although the things in the 'Nation of Yellow Springs' cannot be calculated, we can still get a glimpse of what happened in this world."

Bai Shuiqiu explained: "Whether it is the Sixth Heaven Demon King or something else that will come out of the 'Nation of Yellow Springs', as long as it comes to the present world, it will inevitably have a major impact and even damage the present world. Rie Asakura What can be calculated is the approximate time when this effect will appear. However, the accuracy is not high, it is just an interval."

"I see."

Rin Shiraishi also understood: "That is to say, if you want to prevent that accident, it is best to catch up with the time node given by Senior Rie, and the sooner the better?"

"That's right, that's the case. And if you want to achieve this step, I'm afraid it's not possible only in this world. If it is confirmed that it is necessary, you may have to take some special actions."

That is to say...

"Is it possible to go to the 'Nation of the Underworld'..."

VOLUME 401: Chapter [-] So The Tall Man Is Myself (Two in One)

Shiraishi Rin sighed.

It seemed that she couldn't get around this trouble.

But that's to be expected.

From the moment she inherited the Baishi apartment, she was basically doomed to face such a situation.After all, rights and obligations are always relative. Since one has accepted the inheritance left by one's ancestors, one must naturally accept the accompanying responsibilities and obligations. The difference is nothing more than time.

Fortunately, the current Shiraishi Rin is not the same as when she just crossed over. With the means she has now and the various magic tools on her body, even if she really goes to that terrifying unknown world... I also think that I have some confidence to deal with it.

Next, Bai Shilin asked Bai Shuiqiu about the sealing formation.

Faced with this question, Bai Shuiqiu pondered for a moment: "About this, I'm actually not very clear about it. I just heard from Grandma Sana that Ping Wuyue entered the 'Nation of Underworld' from Room 404 of Baishi Apartment. So even if the sealing formation is not in Room 404, it must not be far from there. If you don't mind, I can find some time to study it with you."

"That's great."

Shiraishi Rin responded.

In fact, she also guessed that the "Gate of the Underworld" might be related to Room 404 in her apartment. Otherwise, Ping Wuyue would not have rented Room 404 for 30 years, and would have to rent it again after she finally came back. Continue to renew the lease.It's just that Bai Shuiqiu confirmed it once, which made Bai Shilin more confident in his judgment.Since the latter mainly offered to help, she naturally had no reason to refuse.

The two spoke a few more words and discussed the time to meet.

Bai Shilin herself doesn't care. After all, she usually has nothing else to do except go to school. If it is really necessary, it is not a big deal to skip class temporarily. After all, compared with such a major event as "saving the world"-stopping the sixth The Heavenly Demon King descended into the world, and it could barely be regarded as saving the world-a few high school courses were really nothing.

On the other hand, Bai Shuiqiu still has other things to deal with, and it will take a few days before he can spare time, so he has to wait.

After about ten minutes, the two of them finally discussed it properly, and both hung up the phone.

Rin Shiraishi put down the phone, crossed his hands behind his head, and stretched.

It was a rare weekend, and if she followed her original thoughts, she actually planned to stay at home and rest for a while, or else she could just go and play with Nogi Maki.

But now, after knowing the news that the Demon King of the Sixth Heaven is coming, Shiraishi Rin can no longer do these things with peace of mind.After all, if you want to relax, you will have more time in the future, but if you really let the sixth day demon king come to this world... I am afraid that no matter what you want to do in the future, you will have no chance.

Recalling the idea of ​​"the sky is falling and tall people blocking it" before, Shiraishi Rin couldn't help laughing:

"Surprised, it turns out that the tall one is myself..."

Of course, Shiraishi Rin is not tall enough now.At the very least, she needs to exchange the Golden Light Curse (Part [-]) and the White Jade Sword, as well as the [Tai Yi Eradicates Sins and Slays Demons Art] before she can completely arm herself.And in order to do that...

"I still have to brush up the favorability. Well, anyway, these two days are weekends and I don't have anything to do. Let's find a way to collect all the favorability in the apartment..."

Shiraishi Rin made up his mind.

Naturally, there is nothing new about the way to gain favorability, and it is mainly to send food, with greetings, and if necessary, help the tenants to renovate the house and the floor.Shiraishi Rin has used this set of procedures for countless times, and she is already familiar with it at this time, and even knows the approximate amount of favorability that each step can get.

And this weekend, Rin Shiraishi worked extra hard, entered a state of full firepower, bought a lot of high-quality fruits from department stores, and baked cakes at home.After the baking is completed, they will knock on the door and deliver it door-to-door.

Needless to say, there are several tenants on the first floor.

Since the all-staff dinner during the Chinese New Year, the relationship between Hayami Iris, Mimiko Mizunuma, and Rin Shiraishi has become more and more familiar, and has gradually become a stable source of favorability for Rin Shiraishi.Although due to personality factors, the favorability gained from them is not as much as Sachiko, but it has been accumulated for a long time, which is quite considerable.

——Otherwise Shiraishi Rin would not be able to exchange [Shuttle in the Mirror] worth 1200 so easily.

As for the few people upstairs, they are basically familiar with Shiraishi Rin. During this period of time, they have contributed a lot of favorability to her one after another.

The only one worth mentioning is the ghost girl Hongye.

After the heart-to-heart conversation last night, this woman seemed to have some subtle changes in her mentality, and even the way she looked at Shiraishi Rin became strange.When Shiraishi Rin was delivering the cake to her, she felt a little nervous, as if she was standing in front of this old monster naked, feeling like she was being seen through at a glance.

Hmm... The favorability contributed by the ghost girl Hongye is also a little bit wrong.Every time the reminder of [favorability (ghost girl Hongye) +40] appeared, Shiraishi was frightened, and the tip of his nose and back couldn't help sweating slightly.

But fortunately, apart from the psychological pressure, nothing bad happened.

Another thing worth mentioning is that Ping Wuyue is still not in the room.

Shiraishi Rin had the idea of ​​using the spare key to open the door and go in, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.After all, when she did this before, room 404 was still unoccupied after the lease expired, but now, Ping Wuyue has completed the renewal of the contract, it would be a bit too impolite to enter without invitation in this situation.

"We can only wait a few more days."

……

In the next few days, Rin Shiraishi greeted Nogi Maki and interrupted the training of the Kendo Department-the reason was of course made up randomly. Anyway, except for Nogi Maki, the relationship between other members of the Kendo Department and Shiraishi Rin is not so close , and it is even more impossible to come and expose her lies.

at last.

On Wednesday, Rin Shiraishi accumulated enough 1600 favorability points, replaced [Golden Light Curse (Volume [-])] and [Taiyi Exorcising Sins and Slaying Monsters] in one breath, and then ran to the riverside near the Sumida River as usual to test Take a look at these two new skills.

The result is...

Basically it's satisfying.

Especially [Taiyi Eradicates Sins and Slays Demons Jue], although the text description given by the system says that it is "attaching spiritual power to the blade", but in fact, when there is no physical sword near you, using your hands as a sword , can also be used, but the power will be relatively weaker.But even with the weakened Monster Slaying Art, if you are facing monsters like dog gods and man-eating ghosts, you can easily deal with them.

After finishing the experiment and returning from the Sumida River, Rin Shiraishi saw the ghost girl Momiji again.

Also, Bai Shuiqiu standing with the ghost girl Hongye.

That's right, today is the time when Shiraishi Rin discussed meeting with Bai Shuiqiu on the phone.Even when he went to the park to test his new skills, Rin Shiraishi still remembered this clearly.What she didn't expect was that the ghost girl Hongye happened to be here, and she was still talking to Bai Shuiqiu.

These two know each other, this has been confirmed long ago, and they may have fought, after all, Bai Shuiqiu said before that he can handle the words of the ghost girl Hongye.

As for the relationship between the two...

At least on the surface it looks okay.

Before Shiraishi Rin came back, the two of them were standing at the door of Shiraishi's apartment, talking one after another, but because the distance was relatively far, Shiraishi Rin could only see their mouth movements, but did not rule them out specific content under discussion.But thinking about it, they will not be threatening each other with harsh words. Even if the relationship is not good, at most it will be just a few words of politeness.

"Hey, Xiao Lin is back?"

When the distance between them was still tens of meters, Bai Shuiqiu turned his head and looked at Bai Shilin.

The ghost girl Hongye next to her folded her arms in front of her chest and said nothing.

"Miss Qiu, you are here."

"And Sister Hongye."

Bai Shilin nodded to the two of them one by one, as a greeting: "Well, I just went outside for a while, and I kept you waiting for a long time, Miss Qiu... come in and sit down?"

"it is good."

A few minutes later, in room 101.

Bai Shilin poured two cups of hot tea and placed them on the coffee table in the living room, then took a step back and sat on the sofa next to him.On the opposite side and next to it are Bai Shuiqiu and Hongye, the ghost girl.

This scene is a bit like a replay of when Ping Wuyue just came back more than a month ago.
