"Ahem!" Yongmei put away the "giant eye mask" on the hanger with some embarrassment, and began to talk about the problems she had in moving into her new house: "Every night, I would hear very strange footsteps coming from upstairs, but as far as I know, no one has lived upstairs because they paid a year's rent in one go, so..."

"Do you have any information about the previous landlord?" Xia Shu asked, "Did he move away, or did he die unexpectedly?"

"I heard that she was a female office worker," Yongmei recalled. "I asked around at the time. She was said to be a young person who came to Tokyo to work hard. She was very capable and lucky. She was promoted in just a few years. But she had a car accident some time ago... Could it be that she has returned as a ghost?"

"Of course not," Xia Shu denied without thinking, "If it was a car accident, it should have happened at the place where the accident happened."

Yongmei clapped her hands in agreement, and said with a grin, "Ha, you're right!"

This carefree girl's personality is quite different from Qianhua's.

"Can you contact the landlord to take a look?"

"I've borrowed the key from the landlord!"

Is it possible to borrow the key to the upstairs floor from the landlord?

Xia Shu looked at Yongmei in surprise. The other party proudly showed his fangs and showed the key: "Because I told him that I wanted to go up and take a look at the situation, and planned to rent it together, so he readily handed the key to me."

Do the rich people who live in luxury apartments have different brain circuits than ordinary people? But in any case, they can freely enter the rooms upstairs.

Letting the two girls wait outside, Xia Shu entered the room alone.

Raise your hand to turn on the power switch.

The lights revealed the empty Japanese-style room in front of Natsuki.

A standard small apartment with one living room and one bedroom.

Pushing open the bedroom door, there is a shrine placed against the wall. It is about the width of two tatami mats and takes up the already small bedroom space. It looks very strange.

Above the shrine is a small azure cartoon bowl, and on the chopstick holder are a pair of children's training chopsticks.

In addition, there are various snacks, such as animal biscuits, senbei, etc.

There are also children's supplies such as children's wooden horses, walkers, crawling mats, etc. placed on the ground.

"In a weird room, with children enshrined?"

[Hint: Find the child in this family. Maybe he can help you realize some small wishes. Reward: Blessing of Zashiki-warashi]

Considering what Yongmei just said about the previous resident being very lucky and having been promoted all the way, the answer is obvious.

"The person trapped here is a Zashiki-warashi?"

Chapter 21 [Blessings and Fortunes Bring (Blessing)]

"Mr. Yahiro, what's going on in there?" The door was pushed open a crack, and Yongmei was peering inside furtively with one eye slanted.

Her personality is completely opposite to Qianhua's. She is an action-oriented person with a masculine spirit.

"Just wait a moment, it will be solved soon."

After Xia Shu replied, he took off his backpack and said in a tone of teasing a kitten: "Little friend, how about coming out and playing with uncle? Uncle will take you out."

no response.

This is normal. When I said this, I sounded like a weird uncle who wanted to harm people, the kind of person that the police would shoot without hesitation.

But he had never been alone with a baby in his two lifetimes.

Judging from the various things in the room, the so-called "Zashiki-warashi" should be very young, perhaps a child around one year old, so the success rate of bewitching him with words is not high.

He squatted down and looked at the food on the altar.

I picked up a pack of senbei, tore open the package, broke the senbei in half and put it in my mouth, pretending to chew it very deliciously, with an intoxicated look on my face: "Ah, it's so delicious~"

Tokyo has entered the rainy season since June. The weather is humid and the senbei that have been left out for several months have already become damp and are not tasty at all.

Natsuki showed his best acting skills and only put the other half of the senbei into the bowl after he felt he had given enough performance.

After a while, the senbei shook slightly, and a child about one year old emitting white light was kneeling on the shrine, reaching out to grab half a senbei in the bowl.

"Got you!"

He did not capture the Zashiki-warashi, even though he knew that if he captured him and locked him up at home, good luck would continue to come to him.

The other party took a few slow bites of the senbei before looking up at Natsuki.

"Do you want to go out?" Xia Shu pointed outside: "How can I help you get out?"

The white light cub raised his little arm and pointed at the shrine.

Xia Shu reached out and grabbed it.

There is a talisman stuck inside.

[Zhai Nong Zhen Zhai Fu (Item/Excellent): A powerful talisman that can scare away evil spirits, making it impossible for them to escape]

It was the first time that Xia Shu had seen an "excellent" grade item, so needless to say, he put it directly into his pocket.

When I looked at Zashiki-warashi again, the light spots on the little guy's body were gradually dissipating, and his figure was becoming more and more blurred until it disappeared completely.

"Become a Buddha?"

[You have received the blessing of Zashiki-warashi]

[Blessing: A blessing from Zashiki-warashi. A Ghost Story Obsession Box will appear in the Ghost Story Map (limited to 1 per map)]

“It’s really a blessing from the hard core.”

After Natsuki complained, he stood up and opened the door.

"What's the situation?" Yongmei asked anxiously. Qianhua also clasped her hands together on her chest as if praying, and looked at Xia Shu nervously.

He did not mention the matter of Zashiki-warashi, as not everyone could accept living on the same floor as a demon or god.

Remembering that the other party had already paid a year's rent, Xia Shu said, "I guess some children sneaked in at night. I saw a lot of children's toys and snacks inside. They probably used it as a secret base... and I specially used a talisman to dispel the evil spirits here."

As he spoke, he took out a fire talisman and flicked it gently.

Under the astonished gaze of the two women, the fire talisman burned.

The attack power of the Fire Talisman is not very strong, but it is very effective when used to play tricks.

"So, there must be no problem. Just ask the landlord to clean up the room and change the lock."

"Why would a child sneak in?" Yongmei was puzzled.

Qianhua, who was standing by, noticed something and said, "Didn't you get the key easily too?"

"It seems so," Yongmei laughed.

Although the two were very polite, they did not invite Xia Shu to stay overnight, which made Xia Shu feel like complaining. Why were they chasing the guests away so late at night? It wouldn't be a problem if they squeezed in.

When Xia Shu just returned to the washing machine room downstairs in the office, he received the money that Yongmei happily transferred to him.

His mood also improved.

“What a delightful customer!”

This matter has come to an end.

It was only later during a casual chat that Xia Shu learned from Yongmei that the woman who died in the car accident upstairs was pregnant before marriage, and the reason why she rose to prominence was because of the benefits she got from her boss who had something on her. The boss always thought that she had given birth to a child and even decided to divorce his wife just for the child.

But later, after investigation, it was discovered that she had aborted the child early and did not give birth to the child, and her life was messed up by the other party, so she became hateful and killed him and faked a traffic accident.

To be precise, her rapid career success was indeed related to that child, but it was just the method by which she achieved it, and it had nothing to do with blessing.

……

Natsuki stood in the washing machine room and chose to open the map.

In the clearly visible washing machine room, a palm-sized box is placed not far away.

This was [Blessing] from Zashiki-warashi. He walked over and opened the box, and a pungent smell of blood hit him in the face.

[Obsession Blood Stains (Cursed Item/Normal): It may make some ordinary things become extraordinary. Don’t touch it casually.]

Xia Shu looked at the pool of half-solidified black blood and suddenly remembered his basically useless baseball bat, which had a smell very similar to blood stains.

"Use this to irrigate, and ordinary things should become weapons that can harm ghosts."

He hasn't found a more suitable alternative to the weapon yet, but he can put it away for now.

Although some middle-aged and elderly people are reluctant to throw away old things, but... they will always be useful.

……

"Kaori, is it really okay? This is the rosary I got for you from the temple. It can help you ward off evil spirits. Remember, if the rosary suddenly breaks, you must pick up all the beads, wrap them in cloth and worship them."

After listening to the instructions from her mother who came to Tokyo specially to visit her, Kaori Hoshino felt irritated for no reason.

Ever since filming that episode of the supernatural show about a haunted house, Kaori Hoshino's condition has been getting worse and worse, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that something is wrong with her.

Some people on the Internet said that the haunted house was real, and believed that the boy she saw was Junxiong, and this was recognized by a large number of people.

But more people think that she took some illegal drugs.

Looking at the entertainment industry, if an artist suddenly loses a lot of weight and becomes mentally confused, he or she is either seriously ill or taking drugs.

"Yeah, got it," she nodded impatiently.

Her mother forcefully pulled her arm over and put the rosary around her wrist.

Strangely enough, Kaori Hoshino, who had always felt inexplicably anxious, actually calmed down after coming into contact with the rosary.

"You should go to the station soon too. The only train home is this afternoon, right?" Hoshino Kaori was rarely worried about her mother.

"You must take good care of yourself and come home after you finish work."

"I know~!"

Chapter 22 Hoshino Kaori's Nightmare

Filming during the hot and humid rainy season can easily make people feel irritable.

Kaori Hoshino, who rose to prominence with her youth romance-themed works, was invited to audition for a TV drama, playing the second female lead, a seriously ill girl in the drama.

There were many competitors on the audition day, but Kaori Hoshino, who was in very poor condition, was successfully selected thanks to her illness.

In fact, she was just tortured and had a mental breakdown.

"Matsumoto Hospital" located in the suburbs has just been built.

The corridor is also brightly lit, and the horror stories that are circulated in hospitals would never happen here. However, the hospital is surrounded by mountains, and at night there is a sense of isolation and desolation, which makes people feel uneasy.

Kaori Hoshino's acting skills are very up to standard and the filming process went very smoothly.
