This Japanese Story Is Not Too Cold

The next day, Kitagawa-dera first went to Chiba Hotaru with Kitagawa Eri.

Although today is not a two-day treatment day, the dead qi has been absorbed into Chiba Hotaru's legs more than half of the day, and dead qi can be used for treatment again.

While treating, Kitagawa Temple told Chiba Hotaru and Kitagawa Eri who was painting while he might go out for a few days.

"Senior Kitagawa, are you going to deal with the four-person hide-and-seek game?" Chiba Hotaru, who could barely stand up, asked.

"Almost." Beichuan Temple retracted his palm and continued: "So it is estimated that there will be no time to continue to treat Miss Firefly in the past few days."

After hearing this, Chiba Ying just smiled and said understandingly: "I also want to thank Senior Beichuan for treating me. Since Senior Beichuan has something to do, then of course I have no reason to stop you."

Before Beichuan Temple could answer, Beichuan Eli, who was still painting on the other side, moved her ears and cried out in surprise:

"Brother Si, are you going to go far again?"

Kitagawa-dera went out twice last month, once in Ibaraki Prefecture, and now it's going out again.

This frequency is a bit too frequent.

Although Iwate Prefecture and Ibaraki Prefecture are not too far away, it takes a long time for Kitagawa Temple to go out every time.

And just as Beichuan Eli was muttering in her heart, Beichuan Temple opened his mouth and said:

"I have something to deal with. You have to be obedient these days when I'm out, and don't worry Miss Ying."

"I know."

Feeling the other's gaze, Beichuan Eri shrank her neck.

After talking about his arrangements, Beichuan Temple bid farewell to the Chiba sisters.

Originally, Kitagawa Temple planned to visit Raido Castle after reading "The Lost Mikawa", but with the help of Kamiya Mirai, this process was omitted.

As for Tsukishima String, Beichuan Temple had been notified last night, and now he only needs to go to the Yorido Castle’s house.

Yoshito Castle lives in a villa area in Chiyoda District, and it does not take long to travel from Chiba's home to the other's home.

About fifteen minutes later, Beichuan Temple stopped in front of a mansion.

The whole mansion is in a Japanese style, with a sloping roof, white walls and black short columns that complement each other. Depending on the layout of the building, there should be a side courtyard between the mansion.

The owner who lives here is also very affectionate, with bamboo fences, bluestone slabs, and a small field next to it, and a small triangular fence is inserted in the ridge.

Beichuan Temple stopped, took out the cell phone, and dialed the number of Yorido Castle left by Tsukishima String.

The phone rang only once and was connected, as if the other party had been standing by the microphone.

A deep middle-aged voice came from the other side of the phone:

"Hello? Who?"

"I'm Beichuan Temple, Mr. Tsukishima introduced me to visit Mr. Raito, and he is already downstairs."

There was a brief silence on the phone, and it took a long time before he spoke:

"You come in."

The spacious door opened, and a cool breath vented from it.

Beichuan Temple looked up and found a middle-aged man standing by the door.

The middle-aged man wears black-rimmed glasses, is tall and has a pale complexion, and looks like a dead person.

He looked at Beichuan Temple, put down his phone, and said coldly: "Come in."

With that, he turned around and entered the room.

Beichuan Temple thoughtfully looked at the other side's back, and his heart moved slightly.

The other party has obviously stayed by the cat's eye and stared at him for a long time. What is this habit?

Could it be a quirk of his author?

But is such neurotic performance really a habit?

Beichuan Temple just thought about it for a while, but didn't say anything. He pulled the backpack on his shoulders and walked into the house.

"I'm Raito Castle."

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand, meaning to shook Beichuan Temple, but his tone was too blunt, and it gave people a deliberate feeling of finding fault.

"Beichuan Temple."

Beichuan Temple stretched out his hand and shook the opponent, and only then was it possible to observe the opponent's complexion from close range.

Laihucheng is an elegant middle-aged man, but his complexion is very bad. It seems that he has not slept well for many days. While his face is pale and blue, thick dark circles are also around his eye sockets.

The moment Beichuan Temple touched the palm of the opponent, Beichuan Temple felt like he was holding an ice cube, and the warmth was instantly expelled.

"Mr. Beichuan, you can walk around in the living room and take a look. I'm still writing, and I'll come to entertain you later." Raihucheng said stiffly, yawning as he spoke.

After leaving this sentence, Laihucheng turned directly on the stairs and returned to the study, leaving Beichuan Temple alone in the entrance.

It seems that this Raihu Castle still doesn't welcome him for the time being.

only

Beichuan Temple's eyes flickered.

When shaking hands just now, Beichuan Temple clearly saw the blue and purple on the other's wrist, like a child's finger marks.

In other words, the famous author Raitojo was also cursed.

And Raihucheng's face is so poor, probably because he often sees children resenting spirits.

Being entangled in resentment will naturally lead to poor sleep quality and the same symptoms of anger and anxiety as Kobayashi Kiyoi.

In this way, the other party is still willing to receive him in this state, and it is probably because of the face of Tsukishima Xian.

After thinking about this, Beichuan Temple didn't care and began to visit everywhere.

This is a relatively new-style Japanese mansion with wooden floors on the promenade, and paintings by various contemporary painters are hung on the promenade.

Among these various paintings, Kitagawa Temple even discovered paintings by Chiba Firefly.

That is a painting about children.

A child who fell into hell, a symbol of life, was entangled and eaten by the resentful spirit.

Beichuan Temple looked at it for a while and walked to the living room.

Although Raito Castle told him to visit it casually, Beichuan Temple also knew that it was just a mere social rhetoric.

The decoration of the living room is relatively simple, as long as the colors are black and white, black sofas, vermilion white walls, black and white double-color scenery walls and bookshelf grids.

Outside the living room, there is a stylish side yard. There is a small shallow pond in the side yard. The inside is empty. There is no fish farming yet.

In the corner of the living room, Beichuan Temple finally discovered the source of the chill in the mansion.

The bottom of the circular glass tank holds a pile of half-melted ice cubes, and the ice water overflows to the bottom of the circular tank.

Ice cubes and ice water rob the air temperature all the time.

The strange chill in the mansion made Beichuan Temple feel a little uncomfortable.

Can this be considered a quirk of the author?

Beichuan Temple also wanted to go over to see the specific situation, but the voice of Yorido Castle came from behind:

"Mr. Beichuan, I advise you to stop, because they fear the cold."

"They" fear the cold?

Who do ‘they’ refer to? What do ‘they’ mean?

Beichuan Temple turned around: "What are'they'?"

Raihu Castle came from behind, coughed twice and served Beichuan Temple tea and motioned him to sit down.

His face became paler, but his voice was very clear: "I saw it just now, Mr. Beichuan, you should have been entangled by'them' too."

Raido Castle said while rolling up his sleeves, revealing bluish-purple finger marks. He continued: "I thought the person introduced by Tsukishima-senpai just wanted to understand my writing process, but I saw Mr. Kitagawa just now. When the purple finger marks on the wrist, I probably understand the reason why you came here, Mr. Beichuan."

When he shook hands with Beichuan Temple at the entrance just now, he saw the blue-purple finger marks on Beichuan Temple's wrist, and he naturally understood the reason for the other party's visit.

Perhaps it was precisely because Beichuan Temple had the same experience with him, so his original cold attitude has also changed a lot, and now he is willing to talk to Beichuan Temple.

"I really want to know what happened before in Yuchuan Town." Beichuan Temple does not hide anything like this.

"I understand." After taking a sip of tea, Raitojo said, "I can understand what Mr. Beichuan meant, but I also want to tell you that "The Lost Yuchuan" was created by me accidentally."

"I have moved to Tokyo from Mikawa more than ten years ago. Last year, I returned to live in Mikawa town for a while. I accidentally discovered a case of child abduction and disappearance. Then I combined with Mikawa people. According to some accounts, this "Lost Yuchuan" was created in this way. I didn't expect that a four-player hide-and-seek game would actually provoke a curse."

"So Mr. Beichuan, it is undoubtedly difficult for you to get information from me."

As he said, he laughed self-deprecatingly: "Look, I am also cursed? It is also Mr. Beichuan that you came by coincidence, otherwise I have planned to return to Yuchuan to find a way to break this curse."

This is true.

If Yorido City knew the way to break the curse, he would naturally not let the curse go, letting it develop to this day.

After Beichuan Temple pondered for a while, he said, "But I still have something to ask Mr. Raito."

"Please tell me."

"Since you don't know how to crack the curse, Mr. Raihu, how do you know that ice cubes can suppress those children's grievances?"

Hearing this question, Raihu Castle didn’t mean to hide anything. He said, “The time when the missing child abduction case occurred was in winter. According to the newspaper, it was the coldest time in January. The rumors of'children resentful spirits are afraid of the cold' have already begun to spread."

"According to the local saying of Mikawa, the spirit body will be afraid of the season when they die, because the special weather will evoke the memories of their tragic death. I used ice to create an atmosphere that the winter has not yet passed, so it is still safe, similar I still have many of the ice cubes, scattered around the house."

"But now the weather is getting warmer day by day, and the beginning of spring is just around the corner. It is estimated that this large amount of ice storage method will not be useful soon. That's why I want to return to Yuchuan to find a way to break the curse."

Raido Castle also wants to return to Mikawa?

This is a good opportunity.

Beichuan Temple thought calmly.

As a famous writer who has portrayed Mikawa, Yoshitojo will surely be welcomed when he goes back, and he must have a great say. Maybe he will be able to investigate the truth of what was left in the past.

If such a powerful helper could be brought in, at least Beichuan Temple would no longer have to worry about some trivial matters.

Thinking about this, Beichuan Temple said: "Don't hide from Mr. Raito, I also want to find a chance to go to Mikawa. After all, I am also cursed now, and the situation is similar to yours."

"Really?" There was a welcoming look on Raito Castle's face: "If that's the case, I can go with Mr. Beichuan, and we can be considered as taking care of each other."

"Then when do we start?" Beichuan Temple asked again.

"This kind of thing is naturally the sooner, the better. I have already said before. If it weren't for Mr. Beichuan, if you called me this time, Senior Tuoyuedao, I guess I would have already set off."

Raito Castle seemed to respect Tsukishima's appearance as a senior in the literary world. When he mentioned him, his expression naturally showed respect.

Seeing his appearance, Kitagawa Temple also just nodded and said, "If, as Mr. Raido said, it is better to hit the sun than choosing a day, we can set off to Kanagawa Prefecture today."

Uh

Raihucheng, who was still talking, suddenly got stuck.

He looked at Beichuan Temple with a strange expression.

Yorido Castle said that he was more anxious, but what he didn't expect was that Beichuan Temple was even more anxious than him and asked to go to Kanagawa Prefecture today.

However, Kanagawa Prefecture is very close to Tokyo, and it does not take long to take a ride. However, after arriving in Kanagawa, you have to head to the Tanazawa Mountains.

The place is already remote, and it will take some time to drive there.

But since Beichuan Temple said so

Raidojo was silent for a while, nodded and said, "I see, since Mr. Beichuan can't wait, I have no reason to refuse and I have no inspiration for the new book recently. It's not bad to go to Mikawa in advance to see the situation."

"Is Mr. Raito still focusing on the creation behind "The Lost Mikawa"?" Beichuan Temple asked curiously.

He also saw media reports on the Internet that Raitojo was actively preparing for a new work recently, the new work is about "The Lost Mikawa" posterity.

Raitojo smiled and affirmed Beichuanji’s thoughts: "At the end of my life, the male protagonist survived. What I want to write is about the story drawn after he survived, which is about urban men and women holding four people hide-and-seek. The story after the game, and the protagonist in the previous game is used as an introduction, something similar to curse scratches appears in this game."

He paused for a moment, his eyes were a bit deep: "After all, some things cannot be forgotten. Forgotten tragedies are not called tragedies. I don't want my protagonist to be diluted by the next work. His existence is also indispensable. ."

Raidojo touched his head a little bit embarrassedly and said, "Ah, anyway, I have to work hard. Recently, I have been out of gear and my inspiration is lacking."

But Beichuan Temple felt the same way.

Since the last incident of the abandoned factory of the Miki dolls, he has been in a state where there are no skill points to accrue, and he spent 10 skill points yesterday to raise the spirit dagger by one level. Only the last 2.5 skill points were left as a guarantee, which was indeed somewhat stretched.

He is eager to achieve the goal of acquiring skill points by ‘helping’ the wraiths.
