The side hall of the Ningyo Temple is filled with dolls.

The exorcism ceremony is about to begin tonight.

On the floor of the side hall, a magic circle was drawn with cinnabar.

Masame Kenji was sitting among them.

I don't know if it's because of the bathing and burning incense, but his complexion is much better than when he first arrived.

Master Ruhui and three young monks from the Renying Temple sat facing each other in four directions around the formation, about one meter apart.

As for Kamiyagawa and Nagatomo Masao, who were pulled to hold the formation, they sat in two positions on the outside of the formation, facing north and south, at the instruction of the young novice monk.

The kimono doll containing the resentful spirit was placed on the incense table, directly in front of the cinnabar array.

Inside the side hall, the smell of sandalwood is very strong.

And the lights are dim.

The overall atmosphere is quiet, mysterious and has a strong religious feel.

For example, the old monk Hui holds a string of jade beads in his left hand and a brass Seven Treasures Lotus hand bell in his right hand.

He lowered his eyelids and began to recite scriptures:

"Written by Namo Sathatha, Sugatraya, Aloha Emperor, and Samyak Sambodhi.

Saṃṭṭha, the Buddha is the same as the Buddha.

Every time you read a short paragraph, ring the bell.

The remaining three young monks clasped their hands together and echoed:

"There is no Sapo in the south, there is no land in Batuo, there are no Savas in the world.

Namo Saduonan, Sanyao Sanbodhisattva, all know Nan."

The monks at the Ningyo Temple recite the Shurangama Mantra.

In Buddhism, the mantra is used to subdue all demons and control the heretics. It is said that reciting this mantra can make the demons stay away and the evil spirits can escape.

Kamiyagawa had not done any research on Buddhist mantras and could not understand Sanskrit at all, so he could only sit quietly in a daze.

Xiao Pingtou's condition is similar to his.

The exorcism ceremony lasted for more than an hour and has not stopped.

Based on Master Ruhui’s past practices, it is very possible that the ceremony lasted all night, and stayed up all night.

But Kamiyagawa couldn't stand it any longer at this time.

Sitting here holding out, not being able to do anything, not being able to take out your cell phone, just sitting there, is really tedious.

Kamiya felt bored and could only look at the few monks and Masame Kenji in the circle from time to time, and also at the many dolls and toys in the grid cabinet on the wall.

Looking at it, he really found fun——

Hiss... the one on the lowest level on the wall over there seems to be PG's Red Strike Gundam.

It seems that the current price is around 20,000 yen?

There is also a battle-damaged figure of Android No. 18 on the left wall.

It looks really good.

I just said "Hi, wife."

Although he was accompanied by a living doll girl named Mary, Kamiya didn't know much about dolls and dolls, but he did know a little bit about Gundam and figures.

"I didn't notice anything at first glance in the side hall, but now if I take a closer look, I can see that the four walls here are quite rich."

Kamiyakawa sighed in his heart.

After looking around for a long time, he moved his eyes back to the center of the side hall and landed on the incense table with the kimono dolls.

At this glance, I saw something wrong.

"That's wrong. Why do I feel that the evil aura on the kimono doll is stronger than at the beginning of the ceremony? Did I remember it wrong?"

Kamiyakawa had doubts in his heart.

However, several monks in the Renying Temple kept their expressions as usual and continued to recite the Shurangama Mantra seriously and devoutly: "Sapo Yakshas. Drink Lakshasa, reveal Lahoroja..."

Ding--

A mantra and the sound of a thick Seven Treasure Lotus rattle.

The lights were dim and the sandalwood-filled side hall still exuded solemnity and majesty.

This calm atmosphere gives people a feeling that everything is under control.

Seeing that the masters here didn't make any moves, Kamiya didn't show any fuss.

He just silently took out a [Thunder Intertwined Coin] from his coat pocket and held it between his fingers.

At the same time, I kept an extra eye open and began to focus on the kimono doll on the incense table.

Another ten minutes passed.

Kamiyagawa saw with his own eyes that the evil aura on the kimono doll became stronger.

"Something's wrong..."

Although I don’t understand Buddhist rituals to exorcise demons.

But as the ceremony progresses, the power of evil spirits becomes stronger and stronger. No matter how you think about it, there must be something wrong, right?

Kamiyakawa put his hand on the [Mirage Bag].

Just when he was about to ask Master Ruhui, the director here, what he saw was that the hair tips of the kimono doll on the incense table suddenly started to move slightly.

at the same time.

Snapped--

There was a crisp sound.

The string of Buddhist beads in Master Ruhui's hand suddenly broke apart.

The beads made of jade crackled and rolled to the ground.

The old mage made a move, and his half-lidded eyelids opened in fear.

The sound of chanting in the side hall stopped, and at this time the doll on the incense table spoke. The simple mouth, which was just a thin line, opened and closed strangely.

She started singing, singing nursery rhymes in a little girl's voice.

There was an indescribable sense of weirdness in the childish voice.

"Surround it, surround it,

The caged bird,

I want to come out all the time.

In the darkness of dawn,

The moment when the crane and the turtle slip.

Who is that behind?"

After the song was finished, layers of different voices began to echo in the side hall: "Surround it up, surround it up, the birds in the cage want to come out all the time..."

These echoing voices are different, and they all come from the grid cabinets on the four walls.

I saw those different dolls and dolls, many of which were opening their mouths and blinking vigorously, and singing songs with different tones.

The dolls in the Ningbo Temple came to life.

Of all the people present, Kamiyagawa was the only one who did not panic when faced with this sudden change.

He looked around roughly.

It was confirmed that there were about dozens of dolls and toys, moving along with the kimono dolls.

Many of them were singing songs and climbing down from the lattice with stiff movements.

"What is this? Toy Story?"

Kamiyakawa complained unconsciously in his heart.

At the same time, relying on rich experience in exterminating ghosts, I roughly judged the strength of the evil aura exuding from the kimono doll that was causing trouble.

It feels like it can almost match the high-speed mother-in-law I met before.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is the level of E-level ghost story.

In addition, the alien visit catalog of "Kaitan Monogatari" has not been updated, and the kimono doll can be confirmed to be a descendant.

Except for the special physical spirit descending, other forms of spiritual descending monsters are at a discount in reality, so it is estimated that this doll should have the combat power level of a D-level monster in its prime state.

"If there's a real fight, Mary and I should have no problem dealing with it."

"In addition, this thing is a spirit descending. Judging from the previous experience of preventing Hanako's spirit descending, forcibly destroying the attachments of the spirit descending Kaidan will only send Kaidan back to the other world."

"Maybe I can consider whether I should try to find an opportunity to directly attack the kimono doll's body and eliminate it once and for all."

While everyone in the side hall was in a state of panic, Kamiyakawa was calmly calculating in his mind, holding the melted coin between his fingers, ready to go, but he had not taken any concrete action yet.

In the side hall where the Wonderful Night of Dolls has started.

The kimono doll suddenly stopped singing.

It spoke in a childish voice: "I finally found a lot of friends today, let's play together?"

"Let's play together!" "Let's play together!" "Let's play together!"

The dolls that climbed down from the trellis, their appearance slightly blurred and looked ferocious, spoke in response one after another.

But their voices are innocent and cheerful.
