In Tokyo, the dungeon master
Chapter 18 As I Always Think, I Still Prefer Heroes
After recounting all the urban legends she knew, Shirakawa Manka wasn't very confident, because she felt that much of the information was false.
The inherited "white eye" has never seen a ghost; at most, it only causes some discomfort or eerie atmosphere. The wife herself can't tell if it's just a psychological effect accompanying the supernatural legends.
If it weren't for Gu Meng's ghost being right in front of her, Shirakawa Wanka, though still afraid of ghosts, had long since dismissed these things as mere figments of her imagination. At this moment, she asked somewhat cautiously:
"How is it, Master? Is this information useful?"
Gu Meng thought that there wasn't much useful information; a lot of it was invalid. If he couldn't multitask and create copies of the information at the same time without interfering with his main task, then he was just wasting his time.
Many ghost stories, such as the Eight-Foot Lady and the Flower Girl in the Toilet, are things that even if the wife doesn't say anything, she already knows them.
Speaking of Hanako, the character is very famous. Fukada-sensei also played Hanako in the toilet, which is the live-action version of Lu Zhishen.
There are several versions of Hanako-san, and even more versions of Yasakani no Hitoshi (the protagonist of the anime series "Hachisakani no Hitoshi"). There are many anime versions, such as "Hachisakani no Hitoshi" and "Hachisakani no Hitoshi" (or "Hachisakani no Hitoshi").
In Resident Evil 8, Mrs. Timitrescu is also called the Eight-Foot Lady. Although she is not the one from Tokyo Ghost Stories, she looks very similar, and they both wear hats... What are you looking at? You're a dragon too.
However, it is said that the prototype of the machine-type 8 is Donatella Damiani.
She's a stunningly beautiful woman, but unfortunately, she hasn't made many films. Gu Meng has seen most of Tinto Brass's films; she appears in them...
Getting back to the point, Gu Meng realized that he had unknowingly accumulated quite a bit of knowledge about Tokyo ghost stories, and this rekindled his memories.
Gu Meng didn't say that the intelligence was basically useless, but instead praised Shirakawa Wanka: "Very good, your intelligence is of great help to my understanding of the situation."
This is the "happy education" of the relaxed generation—let's just become simple-minded and easily manipulated people!
"hey-hey……"
The wife, realizing she could be of some help, couldn't help but feel a little proud, striking a pose that said, "I didn't do anything, but I've done my part."
"It seems that my previous knowledge has been useful. Perhaps there are seals all over Tokyo, but I can't see the real bodies of those ghost stories because the seals haven't been broken yet. I'll lead the way for you, Master, and we'll go take a look together. Thinking about it, Tokyo is really dangerous."
"Yes, yes, that's it. Tokyo is full of dungeons, it's truly a city of demons."
Gu Meng nodded in agreement, and just then, he sensed something.
Ah, here comes an interesting fellow.
How could they be so reckless?
We just met during the day, and you're already forcing yourself on me tonight? Don't you think about it?
No, perhaps this is already a result of consideration; Shihouin Kyoka is not a brainless person.
Gu Meng guessed that she did this partly because Shirakawa Wanka was her Achilles' heel, and partly because she probably also thought that if there really was an unknown supernatural being who had already set her sights on them, other plans would probably be useless, as the intelligence gap was too large and the two sides were not evenly matched.
Pretending to be clever, acting arrogantly, and repeatedly testing the waters will only worsen the relationship; it's better to just go for it and confront them directly.
Even so, this choice can be described as courageous, and Gu Meng did manage to intimidate her a little when they first met.
If one is not a person of strong will, even if reason makes the right choice, instinct will avoid the unknown, and it is not so easy to make a decision so quickly.
Gu Meng thought the next meeting would be in the future, but she didn't expect her to come so soon.
She has a bright future ahead of her and is far from being old and frail enough to need to gamble everything and make a deal with the devil.
An interesting woman.
Kyoka Shihōin, this woman, is fearless.
Sure enough, Gu Meng discovered that his favorite type was still this kind of warrior.
He needs this kind of talent.
The man suddenly thought of some past events, of someone he knew who also had blond hair like Shihōin Kyoka.
In the previous life, five puppets crossed the old road and arrived at Hamlet Town, Gu Meng's territory, when the end of the world was approaching.
Back then, countless heroes came here, gathered under Gu Meng's command, conquered the tower, and ventured deep into the dungeon...
Strive to expel the pollution that will eventually engulf the world, confront the indescribable fear and truth, and even delve into the core of the world—the darkest dungeon in the void—to dedicate your heart to the great cause of saving the world.
The five dolls were among them, trying to find the meaning of their existence.
They are incredibly talented, each possessing unique skills, all-rounders, super mercenaries, multi-headed monsters, with an indomitable will, truly numerical monsters.
He is the elite of adventurers, the best of the best, and his fighting spirit and patience are truly astonishing.
Gu Meng even felt that they possessed the potential of a powerful being like Oga or the Dao of Heaven.
Moreover, at first glance, they all look like legendary pressure-resistant kings, which is exactly the type that Gu Meng likes the most.
Even though he was ultimately wiped out by the overwhelming pressure in the darkest dungeon, the struggle left a deep impression on him, one that he could not forget for a long time.
He will probably never forget those five puppets for the rest of his life.
Noble dolls are unafraid of being forgotten, obedient dolls are unafraid of death, wise dolls are unafraid of fear, loving dolls are unafraid of loving, kind dolls are unafraid of sorrow...
The verdict is the original sin; the doll wants to become human—how ridiculous…
Thinking of this, Gu Meng suddenly smiled wickedly, the corners of his mouth curving up wide. He was happy for his unrealistic expectations and fantasies.
"Master, what's wrong? Is your face uncomfortable? Can ghosts have strokes? Why are you laughing so exaggeratedly? You don't seem like a good guy."
Mrs. Shirakawa noticed that Gu Meng had suddenly stopped talking and was smiling so slyly.
She is simple-minded and has a big heart.
Seeing Gu Meng's sly smile, she wasn't scared, but she felt something was off, so she interrupted him directly.
"What do you mean I'm not upright? What's wrong with smiling? I'm such a sunny person, everyone used to call me the Sun Saint."
In fact, Gu Meng's honorific name in his previous life was usually "Blood Moon Demon Lord" or "Lord of Extreme Darkness".
Every time he uses the dark power of his cheat system, he is often covered in black mist that corrodes everything and absorbs spiritual energy. He doesn't look like a good person at all.
Gu Meng named the power of that artifact "Extreme Darkness Power" because of the strange phenomena that occurred every time he used his cheat ability to its fullest extent.
"The Lord of the Sun? That title sounds impressive," the wife, unaware that it was a lie, became even more curious about Gu Mengsheng's true identity. "By the way, Master, there's something I've been wanting to ask. After spending several days together, I still don't know your name?"
"One heart, one mind, East China Sea".
"..."
"..."
"Uh... I must have misheard you, Master. You just said you—"
"One heart, one mind, East China Sea".
"..."
"In this world, my name is Tokai Isshin... I may have a slight accent, but you should be able to understand me."
Shirakawa Manka looked as if all her color had faded.
She felt that she was probably hallucinating.
Donghai...Isn't Donghai Yixin the ancestor of the Donghai family?
It must be an auditory hallucination, right?
Maybe I've been hallucinating these past few days. There's no magic involved, and no ghosts... I should see a doctor—see a doctor my foot!
Shirakawa Manka stared wide-eyed at Gu Meng.
She now shows absolutely no trace of elegance, and at this moment her demeanor is consistent with her true intelligence.
"Y-you-you-you...I-I-I...I must have heard correctly, right?"
