NOVEL WEB Chapter 6: Closed Compartments
In fact, this memory comes from before time travel.
He spent his childhood in an orphanage, and his only spiritual comfort was the old TV that played Ultraman Tiga discs on a loop. As for the money to buy the pencil case, how could he have it. I can only watch my classmate Yong helplessly, and secretly envy him in my heart.
Fortunately, when Yixing was a child after time travel, there was also Dijia who watched the TV rerun with the eldest lady. Therefore, there will be no loopholes in this statement.
He has always been very careful not to do things that would easily be suspected of being a time traveler. For example, even the eldest lady didn't know that he could actually speak Chinese.
"Haha, it's just a pencil case! Don't worry about it."
As Yoshiyuki said this, he suddenly heard the phone ring.
Master called and reported the good news—although the old master of the house was very angry, he still reluctantly agreed.
Erina's parents also found an acquaintance in Tokyo to help them pack up an apartment for the two to rent. The address is in Akihabara, their daughter's favorite place. After a few days, they will go through the admission procedures for them and study in the nearby private high school.
Both were very excited to hear the news.
Since the master said that the landlord will meet at the entrance of the nearby subway station, but he is not sure how long it will take, so Yixing decided to wait there first.
"Miss, I'm leaving first, you play here slowly. Stay here and don't leave, I will come back as soon as I receive someone." Yixing Erina straightened his collar and said with concern: "This There are security guards in the arcade hall, if you encounter any trouble, just call them. You can also call my mobile phone, and I will be there right away.”
"Yeah, don't worry! He's very strong!" Erina put her hands on her hips, smiled and said goodbye to Yoshiyuki.
Seeing him leave, Erina put away her smile and hurried to the counter, pointing at the Dijia pencil case and shouting, "Boss! How much is that?"
"Not for sale, little sister."
The big sister of the salesperson said so softly.
"Ah?" Erina heard it, and was very unwilling: "If you don't sell it, why put it on it!"
"This is a limited prize that can only be exchanged for a lottery ticket." The other party patiently picked up a bunch of small pieces of paper and explained to him: "By playing arcade machines to achieve special reward conditions or achieve high scores, you will get a lottery ticket like this. The prizes in the entire cabinet have to be exchanged with them. The pencil case you want needs 5,000 prize coupons to exchange for.”
"That's it." Hearing this, Erina was a little dazed: "Then I don't have a lottery ticket. What can I play to get 5,000 tickets the fastest?"
"There are some recommendations, but this product will be off the shelves tomorrow. If you don't have a single lottery ticket, it's really difficult to get 5,000 today."
Hearing the salesperson say that, Erina felt extremely frustrated.
When she thought that Yixing would miss her favorite pencil case again, she was very unwilling to do so.
No, he must not be allowed to continue to have regrets!
Thinking of this, Erina tried to ask if there is any other place to buy this pencil case, and if the product is off the shelf, can it be sold to her.
However, the answers she got made her extremely disappointed.
"Just sell it to me!" Erina was in a hurry, trying to solve the problem through money skills: "How much money do you want! I can give it!"
"I'm sorry, the rules are the rules, it's not about the money." The salesperson said this regretfully, but at the same time he was very curious: "Little sister, why do you want it so much?"
"Because, because I want to give it away." Erina replied hesitantly, her tone lost.
"Ah..." Miss the salesperson thought of the handsome boy she was with just now, and suddenly showed a relieved expression: "That, is it for your boyfriend?"
"Eh? No, Yoshiyuki can't be regarded as a boyfriend...he is my servant and childhood sweetheart! Anyway, he is a very important person!" Erina continued to try to plead: "He wanted this pencil case very much when he was a child. I I want to buy it for him, so that he will have less regrets! Please accommodate me."
The salesperson was obviously moved, and she also wanted to help Erina surprise Yoshiyuki.
However, she couldn't decide on such an important matter, so she called the store manager to plead for mercy.
After the uncle heard about this, his heart was deeply touched. However, the rules are set by the headquarters, and he is not willing to help others at the risk of being punished.
The shop owner rested his chin in thought for a moment, looked at the miko costume on Erina, and suddenly had an idea.
"Excuse me, are you a real Miko? Or a cosplayer?"
"Ah? I'm a real witch?" Erina was a little confused: "Why do you ask this suddenly?"
"It would be great if yes—may I ask further, Miss Miko, do you have the spiritual power to expel evil spirits?" The shopkeeper lowered his voice and said, "In the women's toilet of our shop, there is a ghost in a certain cubicle." Haunted. If you can solve this problem, I can give it to you as a thank you gift. Because of the legitimate reason, the headquarters will not hold us accountable for disposing of the prize in violation of regulations."
"Oh, there is another hand! No problem, leave it to me! I am the best at exorcising spirits." Erina was gearing up, excited: "Quick, tell me the specific situation!"
The store manager was very happy to see her so confident, and quickly explained to Erina.
It turned out that a fire broke out in this store when it was still a clothing store. A girl was burned alive when she went to the toilet because the door lock failed to open.
After being rented by the store manager and re-opened as an arcade hall, although the innermost compartment where she died was restored, it was quickly blocked and prohibited from being used.
This is because there are always guests who are frightened out of their wits and say that there are horrible evil spirits appearing inside. There are even victims who died suddenly due to excessive shock.
In order to exorcise the evil spirits, the store tried many methods to no avail. Even the onmyoji they found could only paste charms in the compartment and seal them inside to prevent the evil spirits from going out to cause trouble. But that's not entirely reassuring.
After listening to the introduction, Erina nodded and took the matter aside.
Later, the store was asked to hang a "cleaning" sign in front of the women's toilet and stand at the door to prevent outsiders from entering.
Of course, they must never open the door to see what's inside.
After that, she entered it, came to the haunted compartment, took a deep breath, and calmed down.
Then, he took out the key given by the store manager, inserted it into the lock, and slowly opened the door.
The inside is densely covered with talisman paper. If ordinary people see this scene, they will probably feel their scalp go numb.
However, Erina walked into it with a calm face, closed the door, tore off a few charms in a specific position, and then sat on the toilet lid, closing her eyes tightly.
Soon, Erina felt the breath of the evil spirit and its deep resentment.
The breath is getting closer.
