Zongman, daily life starting from hunting the supernatural

Then...

When she reached the terminal, she watched helplessly as the boy walked into an old wooden house with a dagger in his hand, which looked ominous at first glance.

Then...

The wooden house, which had already been weathered by the test of time, collapsed.

The boy walked out with a ferocious monster in one hand that looked like a dying villager, which was obviously neither human nor animal. After several rounds of fighting, he crushed the villager in his hand with one punch.

As the villagers turned into black gas and disappeared, the boy threw the strange thing emitting black gas into her hands.

This happened more than ten times in succession.

From the initial shock and confusion to the final numbness.

Fumino Furuhashi feels...

I must be crazy.

In Furukawa Fumino's opinion, the normal style of the painting should be that she and the boy struggle to survive in a village full of dangers, looking for clues, and after going through untold hardships, they meet the mastermind behind the scenes.

Relying on the clues collected along the way, he used the seal set by his predecessors and finally defeated the mastermind behind the scenes at the critical moment.

Otherwise, with her help, the young exorcist found the weakness of the mastermind behind the scenes and defeated the opponent with difficulty in the final battle.

In the end, I should throw myself into the arms of the young exorcist in tears.

Otherwise, the ending is that she loses her life in the end to seal the mastermind, and the boy who was traveling with her survives sadly.

Or maybe in the end both she and the boy died here.

This kind of expansion is the right thing to do.

As a girl who loves classical literature, Furukawa Fumino had already imagined a series of scripts in her mind when Sakurai threw the shoulder bag to her.

But unfortunately, the person traveling with her this time is not a high-spirited young exorcist, but an [Alien] who feeds on the supernatural.

From the very beginning, his painting style had no similarities with other exorcists from other worlds.

The result is...

The boys were like bandits entering a village, easily demolishing all the wooden houses wherever they went.

Catch the occupants inside and kill them all.

And she was the accompanying accomplice, helping the boys collect the stolen goods.

This is too strange.

There is a huge gap between the ideal and real painting styles, and Fumino Furukawa is in a mess in the wind.

Either there was something wrong with her, or there was something wrong with the world.

Sure enough, I must be crazy.

I'm definitely not in my right mind. Am I scared silly?

She pinched her thigh hard, and tears fell from Fumino Furuhashi's face as she grimaced in pain.

Completely ignoring the fact that her worldview had been overturned, Fumino Furukawa said that she had done a good job as a pendant and now all she had to do was to continue playing the role well.

No need to ask about anything else.

Spit out the dirt that you accidentally put into your mouth.

Sakurai stuffed the plaque-like relic in his hand into his mouth as if it were chocolate and bit it to replenish his energy, his eyes staring straight at the darkness in front of him that he could not look directly at.

There...

With his extraordinary vision, Sakurai vaguely saw an ancient ancestral temple there.

This is the final meal.

He dares to play this trick in the area governed by unscrupulous businessmen. I don't know if it is strong enough to knock out his teeth.

It would be great if we could knock him down.

This way his special trip wouldn't be in vain.

Behind him was the village that had been violently demolished by him. Sakurai grinned and looked ahead expectantly, casually brushing off the dust on his shoulders with his right hand.

66. Hidden

Sakurai closed his eyes and sniffed the air, hmm…

Apart from the overly strong smell from the ancestral hall, Sakurai was sure that there was no other creature here except for some inconspicuous ghosts like little old men.

very safe.

It can be said to be too safe.

Those who posed a threat have been killed.

As long as this guy doesn't do anything stupid, he should be safe.

Sakurai felt relieved after taking a look at Furuno Furuno, who was looking around cautiously with a sincere expression on her face.

This guy's will to survive isn't much different from Yotsuya Miko's, so she should be able to survive alone.

"The only one left is the final messenger. If a fight breaks out, I may not be able to take care of you."

"I have killed all the ghosts in the village. You shouldn't be in any trouble if you are alone. Understand? Hide and wait for me to come back."

"Remember, for me, your staying where you are is the biggest help."

"Understand?"

After briefly explaining a few things, Sakurai prepared to set off.

Watching Sakurai go away, Fumino Furuhashi opened her mouth with the thought "I'm sorry, I'm just a useless waste" in her heart, but ultimately said nothing.

Fumino Furuhashi, who didn't do the brainless attempt to keep the man like the heroine in the melodrama, tightened the shoulder bag in her arms.

This shoulder bag from Sakurai is her only remaining source of security.

It can be said to be her only psychological comfort.

He looked around, found a hillside that he thought was hidden, squatted down, huddled up in a ball, shivering, waiting for Sakurai's return.

Since ghosts exist, there must be gods in this world as well.

As an ordinary person who strayed into a mysterious world, all she could do now was not to cause trouble to her savior while silently praying to God in her heart for his safe return.

Apart from this, she seemed unable to do anything.

......

In the history of human civilization, there was a primitive and bloody period. At that time, the worship of nature and the fear of the unknown eventually evolved into a ritual called sacrifice.

For quite a long time, human beings have been worshipping and offering sacrifices to gods and ghosts.

What followed was a bloody and brutal [ritual].

It is normal for folk customs handed down from ancient times to be mixed with [barbarity] and [terror].

Those [wild gods] who cannot receive sacrifices will use other means to obtain tributes.

However, with the development of civilization, this killing ritual called "sacrifice" also disappeared.

Especially after the [Historical Compilation Bureau] planned the two worlds of this country, all existences that would break the dividing line between the human world and the supernatural world were erased and dissipated one by one.

Without offerings and sacrifices, a [counterattack] was launched.

Its name is——[ka mi ka ku shi]

Shinyin refers to the phenomenon that humans are hidden by gods and monsters.

Being haunted, disappearing, the so-called disappearance is the current situation of disappearance and disappearance due to supernatural factors.

In folklore, disappearance of the spirit is a helpless explanation for the disappearance of children.

In ancient times, it was common for children to go missing without knowing the cause. Due to the lack of scientific and social knowledge, very few children were eventually found.

Out of blessing for the lost ones in the sea, the older people can only tell themselves that it is life that loves their children.

However, for this world...

The disappearance of the god is not without reason.

It's not something that happens casually.

See, hear, touch.

Only the people of this world have [intersected] and [contacted] with a certain existence in that world, and only humans have been [noticed].

The phenomenon of disappearance will occur.

In this context, with the development and changes of modern society, electronic devices have emerged.

The communication between people is connected on various virtual platforms through the medium called the Internet.

The online rumors called "Strange Talk" that exist in various forums are the best carriers.

Discuss, pursue, and ultimately use this to satisfy some kind of emotion.

In this process, even if there is only one ten-thousandth of truth, the "existence" behind the strange story is connected with the "people" who discuss the strange story.

Eventually, someone who meets the requirements in the crowd will disappear one day.

Disappear from this world.

There is a rumor that something exists in another world and can allow the living to see their deceased relatives and even resurrect the deceased. It is undoubtedly a medium.

A medium for a Being in another world seeking sacrifice.

Every year on the second Friday of the fourth month, at midnight, a girl who misses her deceased lover will disappear.

This time...

The person being targeted is named Fumino Furuhashi.

The longing for her lost mother and her family members, as well as her identity as a pure girl who is especially loved by these guys.

She met all the conditions, and after seeing this strange story, she was connected to a certain existence in the deepest part of this village.

Finally, at twelve o'clock midnight, she boarded the bus and disappeared from the world.
