It was raining continuously.
Looking at the dark rain outside the window, the black-haired girl could not help yawning.
After using the Scourge Army to destroy the town haunted by the curse of the Outer Gods, Fangzheng's doppelganger finally began her adventure in this world. To use a game as an example, the town that believed in the True Fish Sect was just a prelude. When everything disappeared and the doppelganger Dusk came to the outside world, she finally discovered the uniqueness of this world.
To put it bluntly, this was actually a supernatural world.
It was not that Fangzheng had never been to a similar world before, such as the Cthulhu world that the Goddess of Order used as a testing ground. However, this world was not the same as the Cthulhu world. Although the people in the Cthulhu world were quite enthusiastic about many rumors, and there were many similar stories, in the end, these appeared because of the entanglement of the ancient gods and the outer gods.
But this world was different.
This world … was closer to the traditional world of the supernatural.
After leaving that village, Dusk had experienced several similar incidents and discovered the rules of this world. Simply put, what happened in this world was not as indescribable as the Cthulhu world, but more traditional evil spirits hurting people.
For example, the seven inconceivable things in school, all kinds of urban legends, ghost children and hanako … all these things were included in this world.
Of course, perhaps it was because Dusk had transmigrated to this world in the late 1980s, so there was no sign of Sadako and Kayako. However, if her guess was correct, then they should appear in this world.
That's right, there were all kinds of ancient legends, myths, demons, ghosts, and monsters. People would recite scriptures in the form of legends to redeem and repel them. This was a world of orthodox supernatural myths.
It was not a virus leak like in Resident Evil, nor was it an indescribable life from an alien planet like Cthulhu. It was more about the freaks born on Earth itself.
Dusk had sensed the existence of monsters several times, but perhaps because the power of Frostmourne was too strong, the monsters almost did not dare to show up in front of her.
This made Yu feel a little regretful. She wanted to see if there was a Satoshi boy in this world. Would he be a cute little loli?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the map of Japan on the wall beside him. Basically, every time Fangzheng arrived in a world, he would try to find a way to check the map and see if there was a place he was familiar with. Then, he could more or less guess what world it was.
For example, under the pushpin at one end of the map, the name "Tong Shouding" could be clearly seen, and under the other side, there was the description of "Mount Koya".
"Hell's Teacher" and "Peacock King". As expected of the 80's, they were really young again.

As for the reason … anyone who had seen it would understand.
If you haven't seen it, then don't bother.
After all, he had to secretly contact the owner of the bookstore to buy these things, just like how he had to sell drugs privately.
He just didn't know if there were other childhood memories in this world.
For example, Mei Xi or Gui Taro … Speaking of which, was Psychic King one of them?
In any case, he wasn't going to become the Psychic King. Of course, if he met Anna, he could ask her to take a photo with him and sign her name.
If he met a girl from hell … Well, the internet hadn't been popularized yet, so he probably wouldn't meet her.
Of course, there were evil spirits and monsters in this world, and there were naturally people who could deal with them.
According to Dusk's investigation, there were basically three kinds of demon-slaying forces in this world.
The first kind were the various ancient demon-slaying families that everyone was familiar with, such as the families of Onmyojis or the Tantric monks of Mount Koya. These people rarely appeared in the outside world and mainly cultivated in their own territories.
The second kind were the government agencies, but this was not the same as the so-called "Dragon Group" in online novels. Dusk had dealt with one of these organizations before. The other party was a subordinate of the Metropolitan Police Department. The name announced to the public was the "Police History Compilation Institute". At first glance, it sounded like a retirement department that simply recorded the history of the police.
But in fact, the job of this department was to search, investigate and classify the countless mysterious cases that came from all over the country every day. After all, in today's society, there were all kinds of criminal methods. Disappearances and murders also happened from time to time in Japan. Most of the time, there was no way to immediately determine whether an incident was the work of a ghost or a human, and then blame it on urban legends or evil spirits.
Therefore, their main responsibility was to investigate these difficult cases that ordinary police could not handle. If it was man-made, they would hand it over to the relevant departments. If it was the work of a monster or evil spirit, they would find an expert to handle it.
The third kind were freelancers like Dusk. They did not belong to any family or sect, so they naturally had no restrictions. Basically, they were just like detectives, working for money. For example, Dusk had opened a "Difficult Case Investigation Firm" near Tokyo. The layout was basically similar to Mouri Kogoro's Mouri Firm. The second floor was used as an office, the third floor was a residence, and the first floor was a ramen restaurant … In fact, Dusk quite liked this kind of ordinary atmosphere.
As for the money to buy the house, it was naturally deducted from the FBI.
It had been almost two months since Dusk came to this world. She had basically become a little famous among many retired magicians. Unlike the normal "enemies of the same trade", the profession of Magic-User was very particular about mutual exchanges and interactions. After all, everyone's job could be said to be a matter of life and death. Ordinary evil spirits and imps were fine, but if they accidentally provoked a terrifying and powerful monster, if they didn't know a strong person in the same trade, they might not even know how they died.
But …
"I'm so free …."
Dusk opened her mouth and yawned again as she watched the TV program in front of her again. She now finally understood why Mouri Kogoro watched TV and drank beer all day. He really had nothing to do other than this. This kind of firm would not open for business for half a year, but once it opened, it would eat for half a year. Besides, although this world was a world of evil spirits, it was generally peaceful. At least there had been no world-wide disasters. Even if she did not do anything to ordinary evil spirits, there would be others to take care of them, right?
As for the surrounding business, Dusk did not count on it. With the power of Frostmourne, the evil spirits around her had basically been eaten up by her long ago. Those that were far away would not dare to come and die. It could be said that this area was the cleanest and safest. There were no evil spirits, no monsters, nothing at all.
She might as well go to school. At school, she could get close to pure and cute girls. Besides, the school uniform now was not the same as in the future. It was not the kind of suit shirt, but the traditional sailor suit, and the sports shorts that had not been removed ….
"Knock, knock, knock."
Just as Dusk was letting her imagination run wild, there was suddenly a knock on the door. Hearing the knock, Dusk withdrew her thoughts and sat down again to look at the door.
"Come in."
After a while, the door of the firm slowly opened, and a girl walked in. She raised her head and looked at Dusk sitting behind the desk in front of her. She could not help but be surprised.
"Ah, hello. Is this … the Mysterious Case Investigation Office?"
"That's right. What can I do for you?"
Dusk looked curiously at the girl in front of her while gesturing for her to sit down. She was wearing a white sailor suit and looked like she had just finished school. She was still carrying a schoolbag in her hand. She was about 15 or 16 years old. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail behind her, making her look playful and cute. However, her expression was quite uneasy and gloomy.
"That … .that … .I …."
The girl was obviously a little nervous. She sat in front of Dusk and looked at him anxiously, as if she did not know what to say. Seeing her reaction, Dusk smiled and poured a cup of tea for her.
"Okay, don't be so nervous. We can talk about it slowly."
"Ah, okay, thank you …."
Perhaps Dusk's smile and the fragrance of the tea dispelled her uneasiness, but the girl's nervous and stiff expression gradually relaxed. She picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said in a low voice.
"Um … Hello, nice to meet you. My name is Hidaka Crimson. Actually … I'm here to ask my brother for a favor."
"Oh? Looking for your brother? "
"Yes, he's been missing for almost two weeks. I don't know what to do …."
After opening the chatterbox, Hinakasu Crimson immediately poured out all of her experiences like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
It turned out that Hidaka Crimson had an older brother named Hidaka Makoto. Because their parents died, the two of them depended on each other. After graduating from university, Hatake Hatake worked in the editorial department. In the editorial department, he met a mystery writer named Gaofeng Crosshair. The two of them had a good relationship. To the young insect Zhen Dong, Gao Feng was his teacher.
However, not long ago, Gao Feng went to a place called the Ice House to collect material for his second work and then disappeared without a trace. After seeing the missing report posted in the newspaper, her brother Makoto decided to go to the Ice House to look for the missing Gao Feng.
At that time, Hidaka Crimson was very uneasy about this, but her brother comforted her that he would be back soon. However, after waiting for two weeks, Hidaka Crimson did not receive any news from her brother, which made her very restless.
Originally, Hidaka Crimson also planned to look for her brother, but at that time, she heard a rumor from her classmates. It was said that on a street near her school, there was a "Mysterious Case Investigation Firm" that specialized in investigating mysterious cases. So, Hidaka Crimson began to look for her brother. At first, she thought it was a strange idea. In fact, after she found the firm, Hidaka Crimson also thought of leaving.
But in the end, she walked into the firm.
"I see …."
After listening to Hidaka Crimson's story, Sheyan nodded slightly.
"So, your favor is to ask me to help you find your missing brother, right?"
"Yes, that …. I don't know if you can …."
"Of course."
Sheyan nodded.
"This is within the scope of the firm's business. I'll get ready and set off right away. By the way, please tell me the specific location of the Ice House."
"I, I want to go with you!"
However, as soon as she finished speaking, Hidaka Crimson stood up and looked at her.
"I want to go with you to find my brother. Is that okay?"
"Of course."
Sheyan naturally would not refuse.
