【Simulation starts】

[On the first day, you came to the shrine and underwent an exorcism ceremony to remove the curse on your body.

[Top secret information] It is said that most of the weird things are phenomena from the other world, which exist in the form of ghost stories, legends, assumptions, and conjectures. The other world is a place that "can cause terror to humans."

However, not all strange things are phenomena from the other world, there are also some fourth-type contact cases. 】

[The next day, on the way to school, you picked up 10 yen.

You were heading to school happily when suddenly a flowerpot fell from a tall building on the side. Although you managed to avoid it, you were still cut on the face by the flying porcelain pieces.

Talent [Golden Rule·Ferocious] is activated.

When you enter the teaching building, a dozen boys surround you and demand that you hand over Tomie Kawakami. One of them holds a knife and cuts you.

You are anxious and angry. Can monsters bully you? Can even these ordinary people bully you?

You escaped from school, used the money you picked up to buy a stun gun and anti-wolf spray, and lurked at the school gate, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

[Top secret] It is said that Aladdin's magic lamp can fulfill three wishes, but the things you wish for will sooner or later leave your hands. 】

[On the third day, you received a call from Ogino Hikaru, and you destroyed the phone decisively and moved to another location. On the way, you saw a fortune-telling shop, and on a whim, you went in to get a fortune-telling.

The fortune teller is a beautiful woman with a mysterious temperament. When you leave, she quietly gives you a note with her address written on it.

The talent [Fate of Romance] is activated.

In the evening, you went to the fortune teller's residence and talked to her in depth for half an hour.

Exhausted, you planned to go to sleep, and the fortune teller expressed that he liked your head very much. He put a thin wire around your neck and tightened it. Before your neck was cut, you took out the electric shock device from the clothes next to you and stabbed it into the fortune teller's stomach.

The fortune teller fell down, and you quickly pulled off the silk thread and angrily used all the Hebei techniques on the fortune teller until he was dying.

Later, you found many human heads in the fortune teller's house.

[Top secret information] It is said that weirdness is a phenomenon that cannot be understood and cannot be interfered with. If you want to understand it, you must understand it, and if you want to understand it, you must stare at it.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you. 】

[On the fourth day, you counted your income, a total of more than one million yen, which was the fortune teller's deposit.

You produced a large number of incendiary bombs. You originally wanted to make No. 76 incendiary bombs, but some chemicals were not available, so you had to settle for the next best thing.

At night, you sneak into the school's health room carrying a Molotov cocktail.

The severed head appears, and you throw a firebomb. The flame ignites the bed sheets, leaving only the severed head flying in the air to dodge. You throw all the firebombs, turning the health room into a furnace.

The security guard came and you knocked him down with a stun gun. You returned to the door of the health room, only to find that the severed head was intact.

The severed head's act of avoiding the flames is like slapping the surface of a river with one's hand. Although the surface of the river will react, it will not be damaged - the severed head is the surface of the river, and the flames are the palm of one's hand.

You think of the sound you heard in the wind before. Even if something strange seems to have a physical body, it is essentially an unknown phenomenon. Although it will react to being attacked, it will not be hurt.

[Top secret] It is said that the resurrection spell has magical power. If a friend who has died has played Dragon Quest with you, when you use the resurrection spell, time will go back to the day of his death. 】

[On the fifth day, you met Runma Saeki and entered the other world with her, moving to the west.

When you encounter floating objects on the way, you ask Runjian Saeki how to deal with it. Runjian Saeki tells you that one person must stare at the floating objects while the other person attacks, in order to eliminate it.

You wanted to believe Runma Saetsuki, but you still had a hint of doubt, so you didn't bring up the topic again.

On the way, Runjian Saeki found a piece of iron grass. She took out a sealed bag and put the iron grass in it, indicating that objects that are different from the normal world are all worth studying.

[Top secret] It is said that if the red string is cut, it will entangle itself tightly. How tight the red string is tied and to whom it is tied are very important issues.]

[On the sixth day, it was raining and cold. You put on the turtleneck prepared by the fortune teller. The turtleneck kept shrinking. The fortune teller claimed that she had mixed her hair into the turtleneck. Not long after, the turtleneck broke your neck.

Before you died, you killed the fortune teller.

[Top secret] It is said that no one can tell whether they are lucky or doomed in love. However, abnormal relationships will always produce abnormal consequences.]

[Rating: A]

[Reward: Golden Rule·Ferocious (already obtained). ]

[Please choose one of the following talents, you can still draw it next time. 】

Visitors from another world (purple) Love affairs (blue) Golden Rule: Fierce (white)

"Okay, Lord Palace Master, please start."

Ito Jun glanced at the simulation content and after confirming that there was nothing that needed to be done immediately, he fell back without wasting too much time and lay flat on the wooden floor.

Chapter 23: Weird Principles

The priest knelt beside Ito Jun, touching his forehead with his right hand, chanting a spell that was completely incomprehensible.

Although he couldn't understand it, it was indeed effective. Ito Jun could feel his body gradually becoming relaxed.

The priest's spell lasted for nearly 10 minutes before he closed his mouth tiredly.

After resting for a while, Gong Si said in a hoarse voice: "It's done."

Hearing this, Ito Jun stood up and jumped a few times briskly. He felt so comfortable that he had never felt so comfortable before.

"Thank you very much, Lord Palace Master."

Ito Jun sincerely thanked the priest.

"it is my responsibility."

The priest smiled peacefully.

"I would like to ask, if I become a priest of the shrine, can I gain the same ability?"

After hesitating for a moment, Ito Jun asked.

"The grace of God is not something that everyone can bear."

The priest shook his head slightly without further explanation.

"Forget about it. It's just a disaster that happens occasionally in your life."

Outside the main hall, the pale moonlight fell on the earth. The trees surrounding the shrine danced in the cold wind, the shadows of the trees swayed like ghosts, and the crows perched on the branches made creepy hoarse calls.

The priest guarding outside the door looked towards Yuyuan. The wooden fences made of paulownia wood that surrounded the main hall were the ones that separated the divine realm from the secular realm.

However, stains suddenly appeared on the clean jade wall, which was very abnormal.

The priest is not good at exorcism, he does not have the ability like the chief priest, but as a priest, he still has some knowledge of exorcism, enough to judge whether there are evil spirits around.

It was obvious that an alien curse was invading the shrine. It had passed through the torii gate and was wandering around the main hall.

"Master, something has come in."

The priest ran into the main hall, looking panicked.

"Guest, there is a door and a path at the back, please leave quickly."

Miyaji's expression turned serious and he said to Ito Jun.

"I'll come visit again next time."

Ito Jun was very decisive. He strode towards the back door without any hesitation.

The mountain road behind was very dark. The lamp posts were so far away that they could barely illuminate the road. The forests on both sides could not make out anything, which made people feel particularly uneasy.

Jun Ito walked on the mountain road with fear in his heart and escaped safely.

Passing by a ditch, Ito Jun thought for a moment and threw his phone into it.

"This means we are completely disconnected."

Ito Jun clapped his hands, left quickly, and checked into a love hotel to stay in.

There are countless ghost stories in District 11, but I have never heard of any ghost story happening in a love hotel. I guess it’s because everyone thinks that love hotels and urban ghost stories don’t go together.

"Ah~~"

After taking a shower, Ito Jun lay on the bed, feeling relaxed all over.

A smile appeared on Ito Jun's lips, his face was calm, and he slept soundly.

Early the next morning, Wednesday.

Ito Jun sat cross-legged on the bed and turned on the simulator.

He still didn't survive the seventh day, but he got more information than all the previous times combined.

First, about the existence of weirdness.

Strange stories, legends, assumptions, conjectures, and fears are essentially phenomena of one kind or another.

For example, Tomie Kawakami represents Junji Ito’s fear of women, symbolizing pure malice and desire.

There may not be a Junji Ito in this world, but there is definitely gynophobia.

Judging from [Top Secret Information], Tomie Kawakami is the embodiment of gynophobia, the most terrifying woman in the world, which is consistent with Junji Ito's creative concept.

Secondly, weirdness is a phenomenon that cannot be interfered with without cognition. If you want to cognize, you must understand it.

Just like the Cthulhu mythology, because it is beyond the scope of human imagination, when you try to understand it, the worldview of normal people will be distorted, and to outsiders it seems like you have fallen into madness.

He couldn't kill the physical severed head, but he was able to burn Kawakami Tomie to death because he had an accurate understanding of Kawakami Tomie.

Then, there are not only strange phenomena, but also so-called fourth kind of contact.
