Chapter 8 Electric Shock
In the arcade area, more than a dozen young people occupied almost all the arcades.
The background of "Midnight Bell" is set in 1997, which can be seen from the numbers 97.8.29 in the photo.
Speaking of which, the date bug of this movie is quite serious. The movie once marked the subtitles on the day when Reiko Asagawa was preparing to explore the videotape - Monday, September 13th.
Zuo Xiaoyou checked the perpetual calendar through Xiao Hei's function, and the results were very interesting. In the 1990s, only September 13, 1993 and 1999, were Monday, but the background of the movie was 1997. September 13, 1997 was Saturday.
But he checked the calendar of this world again and found that September 13, 1997, of this world was indeed Monday.
It's really sunny.
However, this also made Zuo Xiaoyou understand that this world is different from the world he is in.
No wonder, it would be strange if a world with ghosts is the same as his world.
"Zuo Jun, there are a lot of people here, so let's go to another place first!" Seeing that there were too many people here, both of them hugged hellokitty, which was quite eye-catching, Reiko Asagawa whispered.
"No, wait!" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly, looked at the Street Fighter's arcade, and an inexplicable memory surged in his mind.
In the world of "City Hunter", he seemed to have experienced a certain plot, but he couldn't remember it. It was not until he saw the Street Fighter Arcade here that he remembered that he seemed to have been touched by electricity in the world of "City Hunter", and then turned into Long, defeating Ken, who had transformed into a little golden braid.
But this time the memory is rather strange, and it is more like an illusion that arises.
Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou staring at an arcade machine without turning his eyes, Reiko Asagawa stopped talking. The man spoke and the woman followed. This is also the "fine tradition" of Japanese women.
Not long after, Street Fighter's arcade was finally vacant, and Zuo Xiaoyou immediately stepped forward to take up a seat.
Like a claw machine, the arcade machine requires 100 yen to play once, but Reiko Asagawa has no coins anymore. Zuo Xiaoyou handed her a 10,000 yuan bill and asked her to exchange 100 coins.
Reiko Asakawa quickly exchanged 100 coins of 100 yen, stuffed one in Zuo Xiaoyou, and chose the character Takashi casually, and passed the level without any suspense. Even if a challenger appeared in the middle, he was beaten without any power to fight back, and almost every time he was KOed. This also brought many young viewers around him.
After Zuo Xiaoyou passed the level, he renewed a coin and chose other characters.
Then, the crowd around him dispersed.
Too bad.
Except for Takashi, the remaining seven characters Zuo Xiaoyou failed in one game. The challenger in the middle directly beat him to a bruised face, which also made him pay the price of 700 yen. It was not until he chose Takashi again, and the two clean KOs in two games were neatly, which made the arrogant challenger get into the crowd in shame.
Zuo Xiaoyou was silent for a long time. After his Takashi was beaten to death by the machine, he hugged hellokitty and Reiko Asagawa and left here.
"Zuo Jun only knows how to play one character!" Reiko Asagawa said with a smile.
Zuo Xiaoyou turned his head to look at her, nodded with a smile, and said, "I want to buy something."
...
"It'll be fine in two days, please leave your address."
"OK, thanks."
...
When he got home in the afternoon, Tomoko lay on the bed, holding the large hellokitty and rolling back and forth, very excited. Asakawa Reiko changed her clothes, tied her apron, and said, "Zuo Jun, is it okay to have dinner balls?"
"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile, took out a book casually, and recited it loudly: "The heaven and earth have righteous energy, mixed with manifolds. The lower part is the river and the upper part is the sun and stars. It is called Haoran, and the vastness is the darkness. The imperial road should be clear and uneven, and the mingling court is... Looking at this, I look up at the white clouds. My heart is sad, but the sky is so great. The philosopher has been far away, and the punishment is in the past. The wind eaves are showing the books and reading the ancient roads. "
Reading the full song "Song of Righteousness", Zuo Xiaoyou turned his head to look at the bedroom, and Tomoko was still rolling around with hellokitty in her arms, and she could still hear her laughter.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled bitterly: "Oh! I really can't raise Haoran's righteousness."
I heard... I just heard that if a scholar develops a strong and righteous spirit, all evil will not invade you, and the gods and ghosts will be able to resist you.
If this is true, then as long as you have a strong and righteous spirit, even if you have no power to tie a chicken, a ghost like Sadako will definitely not do anything to him, otherwise you will only be able to lose your soul.
But Haoran's righteousness is cultivated by those who are upright, moral, and would rather die than surrender. Although Zuo Xiaoyou is kind-hearted, he cannot be considered upright and he will hide from trouble. In terms of morality, he can only say that he has compassion, but it is not very high. Not to mention that he would rather die than surrender. He would not want to die if he could live.
To put it bluntly, Zuo Xiaoyou is a gentleman, a little bit of a scum, but he is not completely defeated, and he is still a person with some moral bottom line.
Similarly, he is a kind person, but he is not very kind enough and is willing to help only when he is not in trouble.
In the final analysis, he is an ordinary person. At most, he is a kind ordinary person who loves reading.
How can such a person develop righteousness?
No wonder he was afraid that Sadako would die.
"What did Zuo Jun just read?" Reiko Asagawa, who was washing rice, smiled and said, "It sounds very nice!"
"It's a poem in our world." Zuo Xiaoyou put away the book and sighed: "I heard that if you can reach the realm of this poem, you can be afraid of ghosts and gods. It's a pity that I am far from this realm, so I'm afraid I can't stop Sadako."
Reiko Asagawa paused and then comforted her: "It's okay, there is still time, we can think of a solution slowly."
"Um."
...
During dinner, Yang Yi rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the seat beside Zuo Xiaoyou, and asked, "Mom, why is Chiko in our house?"
Bang-
The chopsticks slid from Reiko Asagawa's hand and fell to the ground, but Reiko Asagawa had no intention of picking it up and asked hurriedly: "Yoichi, can you see Tomoko?"
"Yeah." Yang Yi pointed to the direction where Tomoko was: "Tycho is sitting here."
Reiko Asagawa was shocked.
Zuo Xiaoyou's eyes flashed and he said, "Yang Yi, do you often see things that others cannot see?"
The temperament of this little ghost Yang Yi is a bit gloomy, which may be the result of long-term contact with the ghost. Moreover, in the original movie, the little ghost saw "Tyoko" and watched the video tape under the instigation of "Tyoko", which led to Reiko Asagawa finally making the decision to "protect her son, die."
It can be said that the final ending of "Midnight Bell" is caused by this little devil.
"Can see." Yang Yi admitted quite directly.
"Yoyi!" Reiko Asagawa was creepy.
Zuo Xiaoyou patted her shoulder, put in a trace of internal energy, and then asked, "Did you see more?"
"Not a lot." Yang Yi said. Asakawa Reiko just breathed a sigh of relief, and her next sentence terrified her again.
"But there are always some things that cannot be seen clearly approaching me."
"Yoyi--" Reiko Asagawa's hands and feet were cold.
"Don't be impatient." Zuo Xiaoyou inputs a trace of internal energy again and says, "Yangyi should be a physique that can attract Yin spirits. This physique may be very suitable for being a magician."
"Demon Elimination Master?" Reiko Asagawa was stunned.
"If there is a shrine..." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "Send Yangyi there!"
"This..." Reiko Asagawa was hesitant. She always believed that the people in the shrine were liars, but in the past few days, her beliefs were shaken with the appearance of Sadako videotape and Tomoko's appearance.
If there are ghosts in this world, it seems nothing wrong with having demon-eliminating masters in the shrine.
"This is also for Yang Yi's good." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "It doesn't matter if he is young now. If he grows up, as his physique and ability improve, he may only be with ghosts in his life."
Reiko Asagawa hurriedly said, "I will take Yangichi to the shrine tomorrow."
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and ate the rice ball, thinking about something.
Because I was worried about Yoichi, Reiko Asagawa did not do it tonight.
After breakfast the next day, Reiko Asagawa took Yangichi to the nearby shrine and did not return until the evening.
"How is it?" After Zuo Xiaoyou walked around yesterday, he no longer had the mood to wander around. He just stayed at home for a day to read books, which also allowed Tomoko to absorb internal energy for a day.
It feels that Chiko absorbs internal force much faster than before, and his recovery speed is faster than he can't keep up with the consumption.
"The Lord of God came forward in person to take Yangichi as his adopted son." Reiko Asagawa seemed very happy: "The Lord of God said that Yangichi will definitely become the most powerful demon-eliminating master in Japan in the future and enjoy the honor of the world."
Zuo Xiaoyou nodded. It seemed that there were still people in this world who could be the master of the shrine. He really had two tricks.
"Zuo Jun, you're hungry! I'll prepare supper now." Reiko Asagawa is really a good woman. She can't not only leave the hall, but also enter the kitchen. I really don't understand why her ex-husband divorced her?
Without Yang's disturbance, after dinner, Reiko Asakawa closed the door early, pulled up the curtains, and went dark with Zuo Xiaoyou Hu all night.
The next afternoon, the deliveryman delivered an arcade machine to Reiko Asakawa's house.
Reiko Asagawa went to buy an electric shock stick.
At night, Zuo Xiaoyou was playing arcades, and Reiko Asagawa stood behind him and attacked him with an electric shock stick.

In addition, the next chapter is the ending chapter of "Midnight Bell". This volume is scared and I feel so annoying. The next world is going to be a little easier.
Chapter completed!
