Chapter 119 The ghost of the empty house
Sister Chiho claimed that she knew the so-called "Ms. Irina", so after the meal, the two took the tram to the place where the old Russian lady lived.
According to my aunt, Ms. Irina was a very famous fortune teller. In the 1980s and 1990s, divination was popular all over Japan. She was famous for her two entries of soul-summoning and divination. At that time, she became famous and became really popular.
Later, as this wave of the times disappeared, Ms. Irina stopped, retreated bravely, and retreated from the industry.
"This place is not far from Zhidi District, and some places are not very secure, but the place we are going to is actually a place where foreigners gather. Relatively speaking, the environment is pretty good."
The two of them walked for a while and came to a residential area close to Adachi, surrounded by Western-style residences.
"It should be this one."
My aunt was holding a small bag in one hand and putting the other on her waist. However, she was not at the entrance, but at the hedge surrounding the yard.
The house is a white wooden two-story building. It has a large backyard, but the landscape of the backyard cannot be beautiful and is basically lacking in care.
Weeds were everywhere, and there were cans on the ground that were thrown inside by someone, which were exposed through the loose hedges and the gaps between the fences and nets.
As soon as Zhicang approaches here in winter night, he feels that the air here is damp and stagnant.
An uncomfortable feeling emerged in his heart. The sun was about to set during this period, and the sky was still a little bit because the sun was relatively strong. Logically speaking, this place would not be so cold.
Despite this, this courtyard is like falling on all the houses around it, giving people a cold and dark feeling overall.
This kind of wet and cold air can be felt even at some distance.
"Hey? Who are you?"
Before the two of them could reach the front door, they were stopped by an old man passing by.
The old man was wearing a sports suit, holding a dog leash in his hand, and a small dog was tied to the rope. As soon as the small dog stopped, he opened his mouth and barked at the house.
"Bobo, stop calling."
The old man frowned and scolded him loudly.
"This stupid dog...why do you yell when you get here? Oh, sorry, my surname is Sanqiao, I often live here. Who are the two? Do you know this family?"
"We are here to find Ms. Irina. Does the old man Sanqiao know her?"
"certainly."
The old man smiled.
"That lady is very famous in the nearby elderly activity center. She was a beauty when she was young. Even when she was old, there were many people who admired her. I must know such a famous person, not to mention that I live next door to my old man... Oh, by the way, you probably don't know yet. Ms. Irina has something to do recently. She left here a few days ago and said she was going back to her hometown. She must have gone to her motherland. The house is now empty..."
"Huh? So, is this house empty now?"
Sister Chiho couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"But I've been here a week ago and met that lady."
"Is that true? But Ms. Irina left three days ago."
The old man Sanqiao took the dog away, greeted the two of them, and turned around and left with the dog.
"Sister Chiho, since we are no longer there, let's leave."
A urging from the winter night of the scrambler.
"It's okay to leave, but why are you so anxious?"
Sasamori Chihiro felt his actions were a bit strange.
Zhicang Dongye also knew that it was strange that he was urging him to leave, but his behavior was actually not difficult to understand, because when he looked up at the house just now, he saw a strange figure on the second floor staring at him and his aunt.
Yes, beside the black window, there is a figure deeper than the black shadow.
“…not human things.”
Zhicang was not too afraid of winter night.
He was just able to confirm that the figure at the window on the second floor was obviously not a human, but a foreign object.
It's not a disaster or something. Of course, the figure does not exist as a physical entity.
The other party gives himself a feeling that it is a bit like the eight-foot-foot-like man encountered in the dungeon world, or the ghosts accidentally encountered in the library in reality.
At this time, the figure by the window was still sinking in the darkness, even the outline was visible, but he could barely notice the other person had long hair.
His face was dim and blurry, but the whites of his rolled eyes appeared clearly, staring at this side without turning their eyes.
Zhicang Dongye faced the eyes of this "ghost shadow". This was a strange feeling that made people feel cold.
Just after taking a look, he felt a dark feeling around him, as if he was trapped by an invisible thing.
At this moment, a strong heat flow suddenly burst out from his body, swelling abundantly, rising from the root chakra.
In a blink of an eye, the chill that enveloped him disappeared.
"The Vajra Breath Regulation Method is really useful."
Zhicang Dongye knew that this was the effect of "aura" flowing everywhere in his body. As long as the Vajra Breath Regulation Method was activated and the scorching "aura" rose up, he could feel the strength in his body and the heat flow was also swelling.
This Vajra breathing method is known as a "tangible art". It emphasizes in the comments that ordinary people can use this method to subdue demons, overcome enemies and show saints, and use tangible art to fight against invisible.
"I feel very special about the division between tangible art and invisible art. Since the Vajra Breath Control Method is 'tangible', then what is 'invisible'?"
He thought of this in his heart, then raised his eyes and took a look at the window on the second floor.
The window was empty, and the shadows that originally existed in that location were gone.
“Disappeared?”
His mouth tightened slightly, and he felt a bad feeling in his heart.
###
Back in his new home, Zhicang Dongye did not calm down.
If you want to say the reason, it was because he realized the "ghost" he saw today.
"Ms. Irina's existence should have been an important clue. Who knew that she suddenly left home and went abroad at this time? This was a coincidence. In addition, the 'ghost' exuded a vicious atmosphere."
Thinking of this, he was a little doubtful about whether Ms. Irina was still alive. However, since the old lady's neighbors all said that she had left, if she said so, Ms. Irina might have noticed something and went to take refuge in advance.
(It's not impossible. After all, the fortune teller in this world really has special abilities. So old lady Ilina may have noticed something in advance, so she escaped...)
In other words, the "ghost" was originally intended to attack Ms. Ilina, and if I think in this direction, Zhicang Dongye felt a little cold in his heart.
So, there is a question here, is the "ghost" coming to the door by himself, or is it being instructed by someone to go to Ms. Irina's mansion?
He thought for a while and then heard the sound of his aunt talking outside the bedroom. It should be that the water in the bathroom was boiling, and she was asking him to take a shower in the bathroom by himself.
"I understand, Sister Chiho."
Zhicang Dongye responded and slowly got up from the seat.
