My tenants are monsters

Usually at this time, the sky is just a little groggy, but today it is probably because it has been raining, so the sky has darkened early, and it looks like it has already reached nine o'clock.Combined with the torrential rain that has not stopped all day, it is easy to think of the so-called "time of encountering the devil" in the supernatural legend. It is difficult to say whether there are really monsters in this world who can call wind and rain.

But even if that kind of ghost exists, it must be a very powerful individual. There is no need for Shiraishi Rin to worry about the sky falling and those tall people from the famous big club blocking it.

She is flipping through the database on the pad that Misato Shimoshima gave her, and she has been looking at it all afternoon.

Next to her, Sachiko Ogino and Hana Asakura were sitting side by side, looking at the computer screen on the coffee table.

The TV in Room 101 is still the old TV from the last century. Shiraishi Rin has not changed it since she traveled here, and she herself has no habit of watching TV, so the only thing that can be used as entertainment is this I just bought a new computer not long ago.

Because Rin Shiraishi has no time, and Hana Asakura is not very good at operating the computer keyboard, so Sachiko can only click on a cartoon and watch it.

After experiencing the Kumamoto incident, Sachiko and Hanakura Asakura knew each other.

It may be because they are not ordinary human beings, so the relationship between these two people gets along very well, so that when seeing them chasing fans together from Shiraishi Rin's perspective, I feel weird in my heart.

Ok.

Upstairs there is a cartoonist with the same identity as a ghost, so it is not so surprising that Hana Asakura watched the new series of anime as a ghost.

"Maybe……"

When the rent comes up next month and you have more money, can you consider buying a new TV?

After all, a TV is considered one of the basic furniture. It doesn’t matter if you can see it or not, but if you don’t have it, you always feel that something is missing.

Thinking of this, Rin Shiraishi clicked on the page, added a bookmark, and then put down the pad.

"...Just read this first, and you won't be able to remember if you read too much at once."

Misato Shimoshima specifically told her not to spread the contents of the database to outsiders. Now that she has joined the special class, Rin Shiraishi intends to abide by this rule, even to Sachiko, she has no intention of disclosing it deliberately.So Sachiko didn't know what she was watching just now, but after feeling the movement, she turned her head and asked with a smile, "Sister Rin, do you want to watch animation together?"

"No, just watch it first, I'll go get something to eat."

After Shiraishin got up and stretched, he pulled on his slippers and walked to the kitchen, planning to watch and get something to eat first.

It's almost time for dinner now.

If Ogino Yoshie doesn't come back later, let Sachiko have dinner with her.

But, at this moment...

dong dong dong-

A knock on the door suddenly came from outside the door.

Shiraishi Rin paused when he heard this voice.

In the living room, Huali Qiancang immediately floated to the bedroom, and returned to the bloody coat to stay there.Her existence is currently only known to Shiraishi Rin and Sachiko, and it is not suitable to appear in front of other people.Especially in this apartment, there are too many people who can see her existence, if that happens, it will inevitably cause some trouble.

And Sachiko, after exchanging glances with Shiraishi Rin, ran to the door under her signal, stood on tiptoe and looked outside through the peephole, and then opened the door: "Hey, is it Sister Shishima?"

The visitor was indeed Misato Shimoshima.

When seeing this policewoman, Shiraishi was slightly taken aback, and began to guess why she appeared here.

And Shimoshima Misato was also stunned when she saw Sachiko, and then she reacted: "Sachiko is here too... Is Miss Shiraishi free now, I want to tell you something, it won't be too long, a few minutes Just fine."

Shimoshima Misato did not know the identities of Ogino's mother and daughter.

In the eyes of this policewoman, Sachiko is just an ordinary little girl from a neighbor's house, and there are some "adult-to-adult" topics that naturally need to be avoided from talking about her.

Shiraishi Rin did not escape the meaning of the explanation. After ordering Sachiko to move the computer back to the bedroom to watch, he closed the bedroom door, and then came to the entrance: "What happened, Sister Shimoshima? Could it be Has there been any new investigation into the incident at Otowa Academy?"

"It's kind of related, but it's not the same thing."

Shimoshima Misato lowered her voice: "The special section just sent a message saying that an unknown monster energy fluctuation was observed in an area at the junction of the north of Arakawa District and the North District. The two Sensoji monks in the incident also lost contact there, and they can only locate their current location through the mobile phone chip. The section chief is arranging nearby members to go to investigate, and I am also preparing to set off..."

"A monk from Sensoji Temple...disappeared?"

Bai Shilin frowned slightly.

If it's just that there is a wave of ghost energy in the northern suburbs of Arakawa District, it's not a big deal. For this world full of ghosts and monsters, it's perfectly normal for ghosts to appear.

Can……

The matter is actually related to the Kumamoto incident, and it also involves the Sensoji Temple, which is a bit intriguing.

Reminiscent of Yoshie Ogino who hasn't come back since going out in the morning, Shiraishi Rin has a bad premonition in his heart.An idea derived from [intuition] told her that Yoshie Ogino's departure was related to this matter, and even the fluctuation of the evil spirit observed in the special class was probably related to this single mother.

Could it be that the special class really found some clues during the investigation process, and Yoshie Ogino went out early to take the blame in order to avoid involving her daughter?

But that approach is obviously meaningless, because Ogino Yoshie and Sachiko are bound together. Once Ogino Yoshie is found to be a cat, then Sachiko will definitely receive the attention of the special class.Besides, even if "surrender", it should be for the special class, not Sensoji Temple.

and so……

Did the monks of Sensoji Temple discover Ogino Yoshie's true identity, and started tracking and arresting her?

Bai Shilin pursed his lips lightly, and this idea came to his mind.

Volume 132: Chapter [-] [Circle of Light]

But after thinking about it, Shiraishi Rin caught a new doubt——

It's very simple, if Ogino Yoshie's identity has been known by Sensoji Temple, then the special class is probably clear, and there is no need for Shimoshima Misato to come to tell her this information at this time, even if it is for fishing, these measures are too much. It's a little strange... Unless Sensoji just suspected it, but didn't confirm whether Yoshie Ogino was a monster, but that would bring new problems.

Bai Shilin's mind fluttered, silently guessing the truth of the matter, but his face always had a flat look.

On the opposite side, Shimoshima Misato asked another reason for her visit:

"Xiao Lin, do you want to go with us?"

"You have a cooperative relationship with the special class now. In theory, you can participate in the handling of this kind of incident... However, it is indeed raining a bit heavy today, and the situation in the northern suburbs is unknown. monster, so it doesn’t matter if you don’t go there. After I get the latest information there, I will take the time to communicate with you.”

"..."

Bai Shilin hesitated for a moment before responding with a smile on his face: "Okay, then I won't go. If you have any news or need my help, please let Sister Shuangdao know in time."

After hearing her response, Shimoshima Misato didn't say anything more, and after a few words of "Be careful", she turned and hurriedly left along the corridor.

When coming to 101, Shimoshima Misato had already changed into a police uniform and a raincoat. At this time, she went out directly from the apartment gate and rushed into the rain.It is estimated that someone from the special class will come to meet her, or at least drive her there along the way, or else wait for the bus to arrive there, and I don't know when it will be.

"Northern Suburb..."

Shiraishi Rin silently murmured the information he just heard from Shimoshima Misato, and when he turned his head, he saw that the bedroom door had been opened silently, and Sachiko was standing at the door, looking out with a subtle expression on his face.

"Sister Rin, what you said to that sister just now...is it related to your mother?"

"...I don't know, but there is a possibility."

Shiraishi Rin shook his head, then nodded again.

Her act of letting Sachiko go back to the bedroom just now was actually just a deception.

With this little girl's hearing ability, even if she and Misato Shimoshima went to talk in the corridor, Sachiko would still be able to hear her.Shiraishi Rin did not directly agree to Shiroshima Misato's invitation, which was also related to this little girl.

Whether Ogino Yoshie really went to see a friend, and then was delayed by the sudden heavy rain and couldn't come back in time, or encountered some unpredictable accident, Shiraishi Rin must make things clear to Sachiko.And if you want to find Ogino Yoshie, I'm afraid you need Sachiko's help. Without revealing the identity of the little girl cat demon, Shiraishi Rin can only act separately from Shimoshima Misato.

"...Don't you know where your mother is now?"

After confirming this from Sachiko, Shiraishi frowned slightly: "Don't you cat demons have the ability to sense each other?"

"Forehead……"

Sachiko's face stiffened.

She hadn't before—at least she didn't take the initiative to reveal the identity of Yoshie Ogino, but under the current situation, there is no need to consider continuing to hide things, so the little girl quickly responded truthfully: "There is a sensory ability." Yes, but it's not as powerful as you said, sister Rin. It's only when the distance between each other is close to a certain degree, or under very special circumstances, that kind of induction from the blood will appear. Under normal circumstances, we are actually all Identify the opponent's position by breath.

Cat demons like my mother and I can actually perceive and distinguish the range is not very large, only a few hundred meters at most..."

"Ok."

This statement is consistent with what Shiraishi Rin saw himself. When looking for the body of Mr. Guchuan before, Yoshie Ogino smelled the burial site of Mr. Guchuan about tens of meters away.If it is perception, the range should be larger than the simple sense of smell, plus the possibility of Yoshie Ogino deliberately hiding his clumsiness... a few hundred meters is a very reasonable range.

But since Sachiko couldn't do it, she could only think of a way.

Shiraishi Rin pondered for a moment, tapping his fingers on the coffee table.

In my mind, I list out the abilities I have now one by one, and then eliminate them one by one according to the standard of whether they can solve the troubles in front of me.

In fact, the way to find tenants may also be a way. Maybe the Iwata couple or Mozuku Daizo have some way to find Yoshie Ogino, but Rin Shiraishi doesn't want to involve these people in this matter.The matter of Kumamoto is already troublesome enough, if the special class notices the existence of a bunch of strange forces upstairs... It is estimated that the Self-Defense Forces of Japan will come to my home tomorrow.

"Say..."

Shiraishi Rin suddenly thought of something:

[Current exchange list:]

[Unlocking: Familiar with unlocking skills, you can open most door locks or combination locks without a key, you need a favorability of 20]

[Dancing (Elementary): Familiar with dancing skills, able to perform amateur-level dance performances, need favorability 30]

[E-sports proficiency (primary): Familiar with the playing skills of various e-sports games, can skillfully operate the mainstream games on the market and reach the level of professional competitions, need a favorability of 40]

……

[Pure Heart Mantra: By silently reciting mantras, you can keep yourself calm under any circumstances, you need to have a favorability of 80]

[Three-point swordsmanship: originated from the ancient swordsmanship of the Maoshan School in China. It is said to have the effect of subduing demons and demons, and requires a favorability of 150]

[Circle Light Technique: An ancient spell spread in the Chinese practice world. It can use a medium and a specific spell to reflect the image of a designated person on the water or a mirror. It requires a favorability of 300]

The exchange list for this week was actually released last night, but when Rin Shiraishi read it before, he felt that there were not many useful things.

Let's not talk about the first few skills, [Pure Heart Curse] is the most useless in Shiraishi Rin's view.Compared with her ordinary abilities in other aspects, she still has a little confidence in her psychological quality. Not to mention that Taishan collapses in front of her without changing her face, at least she can do it when facing most strange-looking ghosts She is calm and composed, and even her heartbeat doesn't speed up too much... So the Purification Curse is basically useless to her.

[Three-point swordsmanship] is a bit interesting, but it overlaps with [ancient style swordsmanship] to a certain extent.

Only [circle light technique]...

The most special nature.

Volume 133: Chapter [-] Birthday Horoscope and Sumida River

Until now, Rin Shiraishi didn't really understand the mechanism of [Circle Light Art], and felt that the written description was a bit mystical.

However, there is no doubt that "the function of this spell is to find people".Since there is no good way now, I can only try it. With 300 favorability points, Shiraishi Rin can still afford it. Even if you find that you can't use it after exchanging, you can at least take this opportunity to study the "Chinese spells".

Looking at it this way, the system mall should contain a lot of Chinese things.

Maybe there will be spells from "Longhu Mountain" and "Maoshan" in the future... If one day the "Shushan School" [Sword Control] is created, then Shiraishi Rin will definitely exchange it at any cost.However, the price of that kind of spell is probably not comparable to a mere [Circle Light Spell]. It is estimated that it will cost at least 1000 favorability points. She definitely cannot afford to exchange it now, and it will take at least two weeks to save it.

"If there is a chance, I still need to recruit more tenants..."

Otherwise, relying only on the current tenants in the apartment, it would not be easy to increase the favorability.
