Chapter 005. No need to be afraid anymore
“It was just hard to fall asleep at the beginning.”
"Later, in my dreams, there was often a sound. As I lived here for a longer time, the sound became clearer and clearer."
"He was saying, 'Give it back to me, give it back to me, give it back to me, give it back to me,' and I can't see his appearance in my dream."
"Once, it was another nightmare. I woke up in the middle of the night and suddenly felt something behind the curtains. It was like a pair of eyes staring at me."
"I hurriedly got up and lifted the curtains, but there was nothing but the closed window."
"At this moment, I saw that what reflected in the glass of the window was not my face, but a man with a gray face and a tongue exposed outside."
"He opened his mouth and said to me."
"'Give it back to me, give it back to me, give it back to me my house, give it back to me!"
The man's face swayed under the dim light, and his voice was low, creating a strange and cold atmosphere.
Qiao Qiao frowned slightly.
"Mr. Ai, can you ask about your work?"
“I’m a software engineer.”
Shinnosuke Akai didn't understand why.
"What's wrong?"
"No, I just think you don't seem to be afraid of these things, but you are quite interested."
Qiao Qiao smiled.
"Haha, my colleagues and friends often say that I have this talent. When the clubs gathered in college, the ghost stories I told could scare away all girls!"
Shinnosuke Akai touched the back of his head and said enthusiastically.
"So after graduating from college, I entered this gray hat software. Speaking of this, our company is developing a horror game. I didn't expect that I actually encountered a supernatural incident by myself. It's a coincidence. Recently, I told my experience to the company's planning, and he has produced a lot of inspiration and is still praising me."
"I'd like to ask again, Mr. Akai, do you have a girlfriend at the moment?"
Qiao Qiao couldn't help asking.
"Not yet. Compared to women, the game is still more fun. What's wrong?"
After sighing, Shinnosuke Akai asked back.
"No, nothing."
The weirdness has not been resolved yet, but Qiao Qiao knows why Shinnosuke Akai is still single.
"To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that I had been affected recently and couldn't sleep well, I wouldn't have asked you to exterminate the spirits."
As the topic changed, Shinnosuke Akai began to complain about the recent changes in the house.
Listening to the breaks of his continued chatting, Qiao Qiao looked around.
This is a café near Shinnosuke Akai's residence.
In this regard, except for some students who are busy holding a reading party, office workers in suits emptied themselves in front of a cup of coffee.
The culture of Heguo is strange, and social engagements between colleagues after get off work are particularly important.
If an office worker goes home on time after get off work, he might be misunderstood by his wife that he was excluded by his colleagues in the company.
Therefore, even if some office workers are fine, they will spend time in places like izakayas, cafes and internet cafes, and then take the tram home slowly.
It is naturally impossible for Qiao Qiao to enter Shinnosuke Akai directly from the beginning. Who knows what the weirdness is?
He heard Shinnosuke Akai tell some of the situation of the house, and Qiao Qiao suddenly said.
"Oh, this is amazing."
"What's wrong?"
Shinnosuke Akai suddenly panicked and asked.
"Mr. Ai, how much do you know about weird things?"
But Qiao Qiao did not answer, but asked without any background.
"Uh, it's like Sadako Kako?"
Shinnosuke Akai was not sure what Qiaoqiao meant.
He looked next to him.
The cafe, which was originally illuminated by orange lights, became a little gloomy and terrifying at this moment.
The students seemed to be sneaking around here, and the clerk in the cafe also turned his eyes from time to time, which made Shinnosuke Akai's spine chill.
“According to the official certification of the Soul-Destroying Society of Iwako, there are three categories of weirdness.”
Qiao Qiao took a sip of coffee and explained.
"The first type of spirit, that is, the spirit, soul, etc. of the dead person, and other ghosts, such as resentment and obsession, are also the most common weirdness."
"The second type of monster, as the name suggests, is monsters born from objects, creatures, etc. that have been infected by spiritual energy for a long time. These monsters usually have self-awareness and know how to hide themselves."
"The third type, ghost, is extremely rare. As long as it appears, it is a natural disaster-level existence. It has only appeared five times in the last fifty years of spiritual elimination records of Heguo."
After saying that, Qiao Qiao smiled again.
The moonlight shone through the window and shone on his smile, which showed a bit of weirdness.
"Then the weird thing here is"
Shinnosuke Akai becomes more and more scared the more he hears. The resentful ghosts and ghosts are already scary enough. If there are monsters or even evil ghosts,
"From the information, it's just an ordinary vengeful spirit."
Qiao Qiao replied simply.
"puff"
Shinnosuke Akai, who was drinking coffee, almost spit out.
"Don't underestimate the resentful spirits, Mr. Akai, the number of deaths in Kawako last year due to the resentful spirit incident is almost the total number of deaths caused by other strange events in the past decade."
Qiao Qiao explained.
"Also, resentful spirits will be entangled in resentment. Living in places where resentment and ghosts have accumulated for a long time will also affect the body. Therefore, even the tiniest resentment must be eliminated in time."
He looked at Shinnosuke Akai.
Maybe ordinary people can't see it, but people like Qiao Qiao who have spiritual power can see it at a glance.
Um.
On the back of an ordinary office worker Shinnosuke, Ai, there was a black mist that was as difficult as thick ink, which directly covered his head.
Especially his neck was black like a rope, which firmly imprisoned Shinnosuke Akai.
If this situation lasts for another month or two, Shinnosuke Akai may become seriously ill and may even die because of it.
But it doesn't matter, no longer need to be afraid.
Because Qiao Qiao is here.
Moreover, judging from Shinnosuke Akai's situation, the resentful spirits entrenched in his room are not strong. They can only erode Shinnosuke Akai's body little by little through resentment, and there is no way to physical interference.
Even Qiao Qiao suddenly felt.
If Shinnosuke Akai was not engaged in the development of horror games, he would not be so repulsive of this kind of vengeful spirit, but instead had some expectations, the vengeful spirit would probably have gradually disappeared with time.
Trust will be effective.
Spirit is such an existence.
After communicating the necessary information, the two left the cafe.
Although the combination of middle-aged office workers and handsome ordinary high school students wearing school uniforms is easy to remind people of something bad, the clerk didn't say anything.
Although the eyes are weird.
Qiao Qiao followed Shinnosuke Akai to the stairs by the elevator.
Due to Shinnosuke Akai's insistent request, Qiao Qiao took him with him this time.
Because Shinnosuke Akai said that he wanted to see the process of eliminating the spirit with his own eyes to facilitate the collection of inspiration.
With a click, the door lock opened, Qiao Qiao walked in front, without turning on the light, only the moonlight provided lighting for the house.
This is a standard 1ldk apartment house, which has been a bit old in terms of the wallpaper and windows, but it is generally spacious and tidy.
Qiao Qiao opened the curtains and looked outside. There were many residential buildings in Zhongye District. It was the golden time now. The lights were brightly lit and the atmosphere of the city was lively.
A cloud slowly drifted by, blocking the moonlight.
Qiao Qiao saw himself reflected in the glass.
That face was smiling at Qiao Qiao.
