My tenants are monsters

"Ahem, tonight I will trouble you, Huali, to help keep watch. If there is anything wrong, remember to wake me up. If not, forget it..."

Of course, this is not considered to be oppressing vengeful spirits.

After all, as a wraith, unlike human beings, they don't need to sleep in the first place, and they belong to those who can do more work.

Moreover, Rin Shiraishi has helped Asakura Huali complete a obsession before, and has raised the favorability with this resentful spirit to the upper-middle level. The relationship between the two is similar to half friend and half master and servant, so Asakura Huali would naturally not refuse her request.

"By the way, the power of this phone may not last that long. Remember to charge it every three to four hours...it should be enough once or twice."

Shiraishi Rin made another warning.

In fact, she thought about using [the third eye] to keep staring at the phone.

But because the image information received by the third eye needs to be processed by her brain, doing so will most likely affect her sleep quality.It can only be handed over to Asakura Hana who has no sleep needs to help.It can be regarded as each performing his own duties and doing his best.

After confirming that all possible preparations have been made, Shiraishi Rin lay down on the bed, pulled the quilt, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

One night passed in a blink of an eye.

It was a restless sleep.

Because Shiraishi Rin always felt that there was a mass of cold air lingering around her, and occasionally cast her gaze on her, even if she didn't open her eyes, she could still feel that it was from Asakura Huali.Fortunately, the latter never woke her up, which meant that nothing happened to Nogi Maki, so although Shiraishi Rin's sleep quality was not very good, at least she did not suffer from insomnia.

When Shiraishi Rin woke up the next day, he slowly opened his eyes.

Hanakura Asakura was still floating in front of the bedroom desk at this time.

After confirming to the latter that nothing unusual happened last night, Rin Shiraishi stretched his waist, got up, went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, and then came back to change into the JK school uniform attached to Tsukuba University, ready to go to school.

When going out, 103's Ogino mother and daughter just came out.

Ogino Yoshie put on the teacher's overalls of Otowa Gakuen again, and Sachiko also put on her small schoolbag, as if preparing to go to work and school.

"Hey, are Auntie Yoshie and Sachiko planning to go back to school?"

When Shiraishin saw how the mother and daughter were dressed, he was slightly taken aback.

"Yes."

Ogino Yoshie nodded: "I've been at home for almost two weeks, and it's not an option to keep hiding. I have to go to school to see the current situation."

"It's also...pretty good."

Shiraishi Rin nodded.

Speaking of which, Ogino's mother and daughter's leave was requested by her. Among them, Ogino Yoshie asked for sick leave, and the reason for Sachiko's leave was to stay at home and take care of her mother.And both reasons are true.

But now, the former's injury has completely healed, and the Kumamoto incident is basically a turning point.Since Sensoji Temple has no intention of continuing to pursue the matter, the turmoil is basically over.It is a good thing for Shiraishi Rin that Ogino mother and daughter don't have to worry about moving anymore.

Hmm... She didn't do it to collect an extra rent, but mainly because of the friendship between friends.

"Then let's go together?"

Shiraishi Rin and Ogino mother and daughter went out together, and took the tram to Bunkyo District.When passing Otowa Academy, Yoshie Ogino stopped with Sachiko, while Rin Shiraishi walked a little further to Tsukuba Daifu after two days away.

VOLUME 171: Chapter [-] Sure enough, I met an evil spirit

Nogi Maki has arrived at this time.

Moreover, the girl was sitting in her seat with a restless look, while pretending to read a book, while turning her head to look out of the window frequently, when she saw Shiraishi Rin walk through the corridor to the door of the classroom, this The girl's eyes lit up immediately, and she raised her hand and waved vigorously: "Xiao Lin, this way!"

When Shiraishi Rin came to the front, Nogi Maki looked left and right, then took out a small wooden sword from her schoolbag, pulled her seat towards Shiraishi Rin, and held the wooden sword Pass it to her:

"Xiao Lin, look, that mahogany sword has become like this now."

"Wait a mininute……"

Shiraishi Rin took the small sword from Nogi Maki, held the hilt side of it, and then put the entire sword body in front of him, carefully observing up and down.

Watching it in reality is much clearer than watching it from a video call.

This thing is indeed the [Lightning Strike Mahogany Sword] that she gave to Nogi Maki before, and the original intention was to protect the latter's safety.After all, Maki Nogi can be regarded as one of Rin Shiraishi's closest friends in this world, and also the only friend who is completely ordinary, so after seeing the reality of ghosts in this world, I will do my best to provide her with A little bit of self-preservation is also a reasonable thing.

only……

On the surface of this lightning strike mahogany sword, a deep crack suddenly appeared, extending from the hilt to the position near the tip of the sword.

When Rin Shiraishi lightly brushed his fingers across the cracks on the blade, and opened [Yin Tong] to look carefully, he was able to catch a trace of inexplicable strange breath from it.There is a faint trace of black air flowing in the gaps of this mahogany sword. Although it is not as fierce as Qian Cang Huali in the Xiaobailou period, it is very stubborn and has a sticky feeling like plasticine when touched. .

"Sure enough, I have encountered evil spirits..."

After confirming this, Shiraishi Rin's face became serious, and he looked at Nogi Maki seriously:

"Maki, where have you been with this little sword all this time, did you encounter any special things?"

"Also... didn't go anywhere."

Nogi Maki frowned, obviously thinking about this question a long time ago: "Since I got this gift from Xiao Rin last time, I have been carrying this mahogany sword with you as you said, usually Going back and forth between school and home, and sometimes going to shopping malls or cram schools on weekends... As for the strange things about the supernatural, there seems to be nothing.

My memory is very clear, and there is no missing part. If I have encountered such a thing, it should not be like this. "

"..."

Bai Shilin pursed his lips lightly.

Nogi Maki's analysis is fine.

Well, this thing is a little weird.

For students in Japan, it is natural to go to cram school. Even though the level of teachers at the University of Tsukuba is already very high and ranks among the best in Japan, it does not prevent students from striving for excellence in order to get into a better university.Taking a step back, the academic level of the University of Tsukuba is naturally superior to those of ordinary colleges, but there are also various academic masters in the school. If you only rely on what you learned in school, it is difficult to infiltrate them.

Therefore, if Nogi Maki hadn't encountered supernatural beings in school, then the cram school she attended would be a place where she would be more suspicious.

Followed by the mall and her own home.

The possibility of shopping malls can basically be ruled out first.

Because in Nogi Maki's impression, the cracks on the peach wood sword did not form all at once. A few days ago, tiny cracks began to appear on the blade of this wooden sword, but that kind of crack It is indeed so small that it is like a long and thin strand of hair, and even when you touch it, you can hardly feel any abnormality.

It wasn't until this cracked mark appeared that Nogi Maki suddenly realized that the previous "hair strands" were actually a precursor to a crack.

This also means...

The appearance of cracks is a gradual process. They are not encountered suddenly, but appear in places where Maki Nogi has more contact with each other and form in a subtle way.Shopping malls that you only go to occasionally and don’t go to the same location every time, don’t meet the conditions to have such an impact on Taomu Jian, so the answer can only appear in the remaining two options——

"Could it be that among the students who signed up for the same cram school as Maki, there are people who are possessed by grievances like Nakamura?"

"Or……"

In this girl's home or near the cram school, are there resident ghosts?

Shiraishi Rin thought for a moment, then raised his head, and looked at Nogi Maki who was looking at him eagerly: "By the way, Maki, do you have time these two days?"

"Xiao Lin, what do you mean..."

"I want to go to the place where you live, and if necessary, go to the cram school where you make up lessons. If ghosts really invade your side, I will try to help you solve it so that it will not change over time. What do you think? ?”

Faced with Shiraishi Rin's proposal, Nogi Maki hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay then, let's make it after school this afternoon first? In my house, there is nothing wrong with it, but it might be a bit messy... In addition If Xiaolin, you have other arrangements today, you can postpone it for a few days later, I'm fine."

In fact, regardless of the friend relationship between Rin Shiraishi and Maki Nogi, the matter encountered by the latter is not very urgent to be resolved.

the reason is simple.

It is a gradual process from the appearance of the cracks on the mahogany sword to the enlargement, and then to the formation of the yin entangled crack, and the ability of the wooden sword itself to exorcise evil spirits is also constantly weakening as this process progresses.If the ghost that appeared next to Nogi Maki really plotted against her, then he would have had a chance to do it long ago, and there is no need to wait until now.

Therefore, the target of the unknown ghost is probably not Maki Nogi.

Maybe this girl was just harmed by Chi Yu by accident, or maybe the other party had other plans.

However, even if the other party really has no subjective malice, in this case, one must not take chances.Moreover, the existence of ghosts and the yin energy haunting them is already very dangerous to human beings, and they don't even need to be malicious at all.If you really have to wait until something goes wrong to make a remedy, it will be too late...

Shiraishi Rin has already made up his mind, and agreed with Nogi Maki to go there after school today.

What the truth is, we will have to wait until then to confirm.

Volume 172: Chapter [-] Shocked, My Classmate Is an Invisible Rich Woman

Throughout the morning class, Nogi Maki was a little absent-minded, and would glance at Shiraishi Rin from time to time.

During the recess, I will also consciously come over, a little bit looking for a sense of security.

Shiraishi Rin also noticed this, but she herself was not affected too much. She was still taking notes while listening to the class as usual, comforted Nogi Maki during the break, and then went to the rooftop with the lunch box at noon and other People eat together.At around 03:30 in the afternoon, when the last class of Tsukuba University was over, she simply packed up her things, got up and came to Nogi Maki:

"Shall we go now, Maki? Or wait a little longer?"

At this point in time, to be honest, it's a bit early.

Because after five o'clock is the "time of encountering demons" in the legend of Dongying, and Huaxia also has a saying that the yang energy is at its strongest at three o'clock in the noon, and the yin and yang reverse after dark. It is very likely to come and go at the time of three or four o'clock, after all, the sun outside is still very dazzling until now.

But Maki Nogi was really worried, she didn't listen very carefully in class just now, and she didn't even bother to stay in the classroom to read at all, so she quickly nodded and said:

"Let's just go there, Xiao Lin, you haven't been to my house, you can sit there first, it happens that my parents are not here, and the house is quite big..."

Having said that, Nogi Maki seemed to realize that there was something wrong with her description, paused, and added:

"I mean they're all at work, come home late every day, and I'm the only one in the house before dinner every day."

When explaining the "absence", Nogi Maki seemed to think of something, and looked at Shiraishi Rin's face unnaturally.

As the class monitor, and also the first classmate Shiraishi met and familiarized with at the University of Tsukuba, Nogi Maki certainly knew that Shiraishi's parents were really "absent".So when talking about this topic, the girl was extra cautious, for fear of accidentally poking Shiraishi Rin's sore spot.

But Shiraishi Rin's heart is obviously not that fragile. After receiving Nogi Maki's response, she smiled slightly:

"Let's go then."

After the students in the class walked away and the corridor outside the classroom seemed less crowded, Shiraishi Rin and Nogi Maki walked out of the classroom together and walked towards Nogi's house.

As I said before, Nogi's house is not far from Tsukuba University, and it takes about ten minutes to walk there.

So soon, Nogi Maki stopped in front of a villa: "Well, Xiao Lin, this is my home."

"what?"

Shiraishi Rin opened his eyes slightly, a little surprised.

Although she has known Nogi Maki for a while, this is the first time she has come to this girl's house.

Although she had already guessed from various clues that the situation of Nogi's family might be unusual, the scene she saw was still a bit beyond her expectations.The appearance of Nomuga Villa is more luxurious than Shiraishi Rin expected. It is not a common apartment building, nor is it different from most single-family buildings, but a single-family villa located next to the shade.Visually, it occupies an area of ​​about [-] square meters.

At the entrance is a courtyard of tens of square meters, with some trees, flowers and plants planted here and there. A path paved with bluestone slabs leads from the entrance to the courtyard.The main body of the villa is a Japanese-style building with upper and lower three floors, and the exterior decoration is quite elegant.

No matter from which angle you look at it, you know that this villa is expensive.

Such a private villa is obviously not affordable for ordinary families.
