Chapter 57 Urban Legend Part 1
On the streets of Tokyo at night, two men were walking one behind the other. The former was holding a compass in his hand and seemed to be looking for something, while the latter was pushing a pedal. The motorcycle followed dejectedly.
"By the way..." Heita Inuyama pushed the electric car and asked helplessly: "Is it possible that it is fake again this time? Or did you not find the ghost domain?"
Qian Xiaoyi Said: "It's not like there is definitely an incident happening. How can it be so easy to find a special ghost area? This is an urban legend. How many of the legends are true? Keep walking forward and take a look. It should be here. , Let’s finish this journey.”
“But we’ve been looking for it for three days, right?” Heita Inuyama complained: “It’s too difficult to find even a real urban legend monster. Did you find it? ”
"Yes!" Qian Xiaoyi became energetic.
Heita Inuyama also became excited and asked: "Found it?!"
"They sell oden here, come and have a bowl." Qian Xiaoyi put away the compass and was happy I happily ran to a stall selling oden on the street and bought two portions of oden as a midnight snack before the stall was closed.
Heita Inuyama took the oden and complained: "Is this 'got'?"
But I have to say that it is a warm bowl to eat at night when it has rained and it seems a bit cold. The oden made by eating it felt pretty good. Smelling the aroma wafting out of the carton, Heita Inuyama seemed to have been saved.
After receiving the information on the location of urban legends provided by Kawasaki from the Supernatural Department, Qian Xiaoyi and Heita Inuyama got ready that night and headed to the location where Kawasaki wanted to conduct "experiments". One was to allow Qian Xiaoyi to verify his conjecture. , the second is to eliminate the danger in advance so that Kawasaki will return without success.
The two of them would ride Qian Xiaoyi's new motorcycle around the city every night. This kind of motorcycle is similar to domestic electric scooters, but it burns gasoline and has a displacement of 50CC. The advantage is It’s easy to pass the exam, you only need to answer the written test, and you can basically pass it if you go there. The disadvantage is that the law stipulates that the speed cannot exceed 30 kilometers per hour, you cannot drive on the highway, and you cannot carry people.
But Qian Xiaoyi doesn't care about this. It's night anyway. As long as he doesn't meet the patrol police, he can drive as fast as he can and he can take Inuyama Heita with him. He can be called a daring and lawless person. Fanatic. There was nothing I could do. If someone had called too late, the tram would have stopped running long ago. I haven’t taken the driver’s license test yet, so I can only make do with it.
Having said that, in fact, the maximum speed of this thing is only fifty or sixty kilometers per hour. It is enough to get around in the city. If you want to go outside the city or somewhere too far away, you have to take a tram or a long distance. car.
“Oh~ I will definitely buy a car if I have money in the future.” Qian Xiaoyi sighed while eating oden.
The two put the scooter aside and squatted by the deserted road to eat. Heita Inuyama turned around and asked, "I haven't answered the question just now. When will we find it?" Qian Xiaoyi used wood Putting the radish in the oden on the skewer, he said: "Be patient, didn't I say it? Not all rumors will become monsters in the ghost world. In addition to people's own cognition, they also need the right time and place, which means they rely heavily on luck, so no one knows a stable The ghost realm will be in Where did it form? I have never dealt with monsters in urban legends. You ask me, who should I ask? By the way, there is nothing wrong now, so I will teach you some common sense."

Beside them While eating and chatting, Inuyama Heita listened carefully. Qian Xiaoyi said: "Perhaps Lucky Mutual Aid gave you an illusion before, making you think that supernatural events are very common. In fact, in our industry, in fact, among commissions There are real ghosts, Lian Bai It’s impossible to reach one-third of the number. Of course, I’m talking about our side. The probability here should be higher, but it’s probably not much higher.”
“Why? ?" Inuyama Heita asked in surprise: "There is no ghost. If it's weird, why would those people waste their money to come to us? No one wants to waste their money, right?"
Qian Xiaoyi said: "Let me tell you something I have experienced personally... Don't worry, don't show that expression, it's nothing The beginning of the ghost story. ——This incident happened about ten years ago. Although it has been a long time ago, it still left a deep impression on me. I was still studying at that time and had just finished my winter vacation and had nothing to do, so my master had no business. Just always take me with you and let me beat you down In addition to organizing various funerals, the residents near the Taoist temple who know my master's abilities will also come to us for help if something strange happens to them. The incident I am going to talk about happened in an apartment building in the city. …”
The story Qian Xiaoyi told made Inuyama Heita listen with gusto, and he did not forget to eat the oden in his hand. Qian Xiaoyi forked a piece of hot fish ball into his mouth and ate it, and continued to tell:
"It was a household living on the 8th floor. They were a newlywed couple who had just gotten married. This room was their wedding room. The couple were in the apartment. After living there for a while, I woke up one morning and found many new shoe prints on the balcony outside the house. The shoe prints were about the size of a two or three-year-old child's feet. Generally, a child of this age can already run around. But the problem is - they have no children, and this is the eighth floor! So, where do these messy shoe prints from children come from? "< br>
Heita Inuyama also showed a surprised expression when he heard this: "Huh? The child's footprints on the eighth floor? Maybe the child next door climbed over the fence and ran to their balcony? "
"The newlyweds thought so too." Qian Xiaoyi smiled, and then continued with a gloomy expression: "So they looked for it. I went to the neighbors next door and started asking them if they had children. But guess what?
No one on the eighth floor had a child around two years old, and the youngest one was eight or nine years old. , and also lives at the other end, it is impossible to walk to their house through the balcony, unless the kid is Spider-Man
But at this time, a resident told them that a few years ago, there used to be a tenant above them, and that family had a child of two or three years old. One day, all the adults went out, leaving the child behind. When I was alone at home, the result was tragic. Because the doors and windows were not locked, the child ran to the balcony to play, slipped and fell downstairs and died. The family also moved away afterwards..."
" What's next? Heita Inuyama asked involuntarily: "This sounds like a ghost story. Isn't it really a supernatural event?" ”
