Chapter 682 Internet Shrine
After absorbing the relic [painting core] of the wild god in the painting, red crayon lines were used as a frame on Caizhi's body, and thick blocks of color were quickly filled in like flesh and blood.
Red, orange, yellow, green, purple...
Colorful rainbow light flows freely on her body, strong colors blend and collide, and a large amount of colorful oil paint drips from Caizhi's body and splashes on the floor, like a postmodern abstract painting.
Compared to the original shape simply drawn with red crayon lines, the extremely discordant application of these changing colors makes the colorful fabric look even more bizarre and terrifying.
Kamiyagawa stared at the changes in the little crayon's body, and finally spoke: "Aori."
The latter still looked at a loss, with her head down, pulling at the hem of her skirt, which was of equally bright and abrupt colors, with her already colorful little hands.
Only when she heard her older brother calling her name did the little crayon raise her head blankly.
"Can you control the color changes on your body? For example, change your skin to white and your hair to black. In other words, change to your original appearance."
After hearing the suggestion from Kamiyagawa, Caizhi, who looked like a human-shaped rainbow, thought blankly for a while, and then nodded.
The next second, her aura stabilized a little, and the surge of colors was no longer as violent as before.
The dark color on her skin slowly faded, turning into a white complexion with a slight ruddy hue that a primary school student should have. The long hair of the jellyfish head also turned into a soft and shiny black color like sesame seeds...
The appearance of Caizhi finally became clear.
A little girl of seven or eight years old, who has not yet grown up, with a round face and a pair of bright big eyes.
This is probably what Caizhi looked like when she was alive.
However, there are still a lot of mottled patches of color on Caizhi's body that have not stabilized.
For example, her pupils are still constantly changing colors.
And the clothes on her body. Because the outline of her body was finally clear, Kamiya Kawa could now see the clothes in front of Saiori.
A fluffy princess dress, paired with long stockings and Cheng Liang's small leather shoes.
The colors of her clothes, shoes and socks are still changing, and the many colorful blocks of color are still tirelessly blending and colliding on their surfaces.
Ink as thick as melted wax kept dripping down from the hem of her clothes.
"Hmm... looks better now."
Kamiyagawa raised his hand and gently patted Ayori's head, and his palm was soon stained with paint.
However, Kamiya didn't care about this kind of thing and continued to guide: "Can you feel the changes in your abilities? For example, there is suddenly some kind of power in your body that you want to vent? Just try it here, I will watch over you."
Caizhi continued to nod in confusion.
Then, the surging blocks of color on her body began to surge.
Countless rich colors rushed together around the little girl like a raging flood, filling the entire basement in an instant.
Throughout the room, waves of colors are crashing and penetrating each other, tearing and entangled in an almost wild manner, competing for every inch of space.
It is dazzling, bizarre, and carries a dangerous aura.
“Domain-type capabilities.”
Kamiya looked around and mentally evaluated Saiori's new ability.
He was also present when Kanoya and Tsurumi defeated the painter. It seemed that Ayori had perfectly inherited the "Glass in the Painting" skill.
By controlling those colorful blocks of color, the small crayons can expand the field of color within a certain space. The current basement gives people the same feeling as the original world in the "Liuli" painting.
Maybe...it's still a little bit off.
But Caizhi is not a wild god yet after all. When her rating is raised, the effects of her newly acquired abilities should also be improved accordingly.
Moreover, the little crayon had previously been stuck at the bottleneck of Class C.
Now that she has absorbed the relics of the wild god in the painting, she finally has the chance. Judging from Kamiya's rich experience in cultivating ghost stories, as long as Caizhi obtains enough basic resources, it will not be a problem for her to cross the threshold of the wild god.
All I can say is that the "little girls" in the Kamiya family aren't too unlucky.
Nowadays, Zashiki, Kogo, and even Saiori are all steadily progressing towards the realm of the wild gods.
In addition, the promotion ceremony for the three wild gods, Usagi, Isohime, and Kanihime, who are active in the common world, is also being prepared.
Perhaps it won't be long before the number of wild gods that Kamiya Kawa can mobilize will experience a major breakthrough.
"Okay, put your new ability away."
As Kamiyagawa finished speaking, Caizhi reappeared from the depths of the brilliant blocks of color, and the waves of color that filled the basement space also dissipated.
Afterwards, Kamiya checked Crayon's body as usual.
He was generally satisfied with the latter changes.
While waiting for the routine physical examination to be completed, Kamiyagawa suddenly sensed something and raised his head.
At the top of the stairs leading to the basement, there was a sad rustling sound, and a round, furry creature could be seen with a small wooden basin on its head, and the heroic little white dragon with a rag was peeking out.
"Squeak!"
Shushu was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, with a look of great pain on his face, and he was almost about to speak.
It's over!
The little crayons' destructive power has increased!
"Uh……"
Kamiya looked around the basement and saw thick oil paint still flowing on the floor and walls.
Moreover, new ink kept dripping from the fluffy hem of Caizhi's princess dress, blurring the floor.
Kamiyagawa raised his head again and looked at the Kuchang above with a slightly apologetic look.
Then he continued to ask the little crayon: "Caizhi, can you change back to your original appearance made up of only red lines?"
Caizhi frowned, thought seriously for a while, and finally shook her head very innocently.
Kamiyagawa:……
Although it is indeed a good thing that Ayano becomes stronger and cuter in appearance.
But how can the change in appearance be irreversible?
In other words, unless the colorful fabrics nowadays are inside the crayons, once they appear, they will bring with them the "ambient colorful special effects" of smudged floor with thick paint.
This time, Kamiya's attitude towards Kumo was no longer just slightly apologetic, but deeply apologetic.
It seems that the workload for hardworking housekeepers has actually increased.
Previously, thanks to the ability to summon white creatures, Shushu's efficiency in cleaning the house was greatly improved.
But now Caizhi has also ushered in a wave of strengthening...
Shushu and Crayon have conflicting attributes by nature, so the current situation may be a case of "the good is always defeated by the evil".
Out of guilt for Aoki, Kamiyagawa silently made up his mind: "Hold on a little longer, Aoki. I will definitely find a ghost story relic that suits you and further strengthen your cleaning ability, so that you can deal with the new form of Aoki more calmly..."
As for the recent period, let's reduce the frequency of Caizhi's activities at home.
……
June.
The atmosphere in Tokyo during summer is somewhat dull.
The hot and humid air and the tireless and noisy cicadas are the main themes of this season.
Pedestrians on the street naturally put on thin pants and short-sleeved shirts early in the morning. In addition, students' activities were much more frequent than at other times.
Because it is summer vacation now.
During this holiday, Xiaolu went back to Dali Island for a few days to visit his father.
Nothing unexpected happened during her trip home to visit her relatives, and she returned to Tokyo soon.
Because the exorcism homework is heavy and there is no room for slacking off, the rare holidays are also the golden time for practicing well.
So Kanoya will stay in Tokyo for the rest of the summer.
Tsurumi Aoi, who was also on vacation, came to Kamiya's house more frequently than usual. Sometimes she would come even if there was no kendo practice arranged for her.
And from time to time I would stay overnight at the teacher's home.
At night, I would spread the tatami and sleep in the same room with my senior sister.
The relationship between these two sisters who are almost the same age has become much closer than before.
As for Kamiyagawa, his life has been busy but relatively normal in the past half of the summer.
It's nothing more than practicing on your own, cultivating Shikigami, training apprentices, paying attention to the situation of the ghost tomb at the Giant Qiong Shrine, and understanding and handling the affairs of the ordinary world...
And so on.
The daily schedule is also full.
Among all the matters, there are two that he is most concerned about at the moment:
One is the progress of acquiring Tengu faith.
The shikigami statue enshrined in the shrine by Karasu Tengu has been plated with silver.
Moreover, this little Ainu hero has a certain foundation of faith in the eternal world. With the further development and growth of Takama-ga-hara's power and the activeness of the Ainu missionary group, the faith in this area is still steadily increasing.
However, these acquisitions and accumulations of faith were not enough to help him transform into a god.
It still depends on whether we can make a big profit from the Tengu faith in this world.
GENIE Animation Studio, with sufficient funds thanks to investment from Kyōkyō Shrine and Yoshikoji Temple, has begun producing a new anime series with Karasu Tengu as the main character.
To know the specific results, we still have to wait and see the response after the new episode is released.
The second thing Kamiya is concerned about is, of course, the construction of Wu's shrine.
Sister Jue from Fusang Village has been learning IT technology for several months with the help of her "desktop assistant mentor", also known as USB Fusang God.
It’s true that skilled craftsmen have outstanding learning abilities and are able to absorb new technologies very quickly.
Perhaps the reason why these craftsman-type ghost stories are not good at using force is that they have put all their skill points into the growth of their brain power.
In addition, ghost stories themselves require very little rest time.
After this period of hard work, Sister Jue has made great progress in her studies.
According to the learning progress feedback from Fu Sangxiang, Jue had mastered and become proficient in Java one and a half months ago. Later, he was able to apply what he had learned to other similar languages and mastered other computer languages systematically at an extremely fast speed.
Check it out!
What did Kamiya say before!
Judging from how quickly Sister Jue mastered computer technology, perhaps programming is a new-age skill that suits the needs of skilled craftsmen!
Jue is now the first divine craftsman who has kept up with the times!
Because Jue's study was so successful, Wu's subsequent plan to build an Internet shrine was naturally put on the agenda.
As a true cyber shrine, the core materials of the Internet Shrine are [Hello World] and [Thought Core].
Among the basic materials that match these two core items, half are relatively traditional and easier to find that match [Thought Core], but the other half are [Hello World], the extraordinary basic materials related to electronicization, which are relatively difficult to find.
However, hard work pays off after all.
There is the cooperation of the cat shopkeeper and the golden bear boy in the long journey, and Kamiya himself will use [Hello World] to attract some violent and untamable electronic monsters to exterminate them.
The materials needed to build the shrine were finally found.
So, on the last day of June, Kamiya received a report from Chang Shi -
The Internet and Thought Shrine has been officially completed.
……
In ordinary times, one is sent to a place of mourning.
Kamiyagawa arrived at the residence of the divine craftsman with familiarity.
In the courtyard, I saw Sister Jue and her apprentice, Duan Ye.
The two of them were talking about something in the courtyard, and when they saw Kamiya coming, they stopped talking.
The previous feeling of depression due to the hardship of studying was no longer seen on Jue's face, and was replaced by a radiant look: "Kamiya, you are finally here, we were just talking about you."
The graceful young lady Furui's attitude towards the leader of the power was the same as before. She bowed respectfully and called softly, "Master Shen Gu."
Kamiya greeted the genuine master craftsman and the trainee master craftsman, and then his eyes naturally fell to the side.
Next to Jue, there was a brand new small shrine.
Although it is scaled down, the shrine is vertical and towering as if it is about to break through the sky.
The shrine itself also uses a lot of wooden materials such as "reverse pillars".
This inconspicuous material is the key to the Shikigami Shrine's ability to feed back power to Kamiya River.
However, the wooden structure does not have a strong presence in the new Internet shrine, because this small building itself uses a large amount of cold and hard metal materials. The metal surface is covered with complex lines and patterns, like electronic pathways, but emitting a faint light.
The main colors of the building are dark blue and black, creating a depressing and mysterious atmosphere. However, you can also see a large number of neon light columns, and even in front of the main hall of the shrine, there are flashing virtual projections.
The colorful light source is strong, and the constant flickering light is enough to cause light pollution, which complements the dark patterns and textures on the metal structure.
These cold and severe lights not only add a sense of technology to the Internet Shrine, but also give the building as a whole a strange sense of dilapidation and unease.
The entrance to the shrine is two huge mechanical doors, hidden in a projected, lush, blue-glowing electronic plant.
The walls of the building are covered with various large and small display screens and control panels. These screens not only display static images and coded text, but also play dynamic videos.
“Under the light of electricity and the Internet, we pray for the blessing of wisdom and courage. May our creations and inventions contribute to prosperity and progress. Let us harness this power with a just heart and benefit the world.”
Inside the main hall of the shrine, there is a space reserved for enshrining the statue of Kogoshiki. The structure is still made of large areas of hard metal, and the surface is covered with a thin layer of fluorescent coating, which shines brightly under the colorful neon lights.
In addition, the Internet Shrine still has two side temples of the gods.
All strange stories related to "thoughts" and "electronic products" should be offered up to share the faith.
For example, the Wenche Demon Concubine and the strange drone at the Living Fish Hotel.
"How is it?" Jue asked Kamiya with a little pride, "I referred to the architectural style of cyberpunk."
It can be seen that she is very confident in her newly built shrine.
“Although it’s small, it’s really… shocking.”
Kamiya Kawa honestly expressed his feelings when he first saw the Internet Shrine.
In fact, he already controls quite a few Shikigami shrines. Most of them are of a grand and elegant style, such as Mary, Prajna, and Huajing. Although the styles are different, they are all ancient and quaint.
The most there is is the shrine of Karasu Tengu, which has a primitive and wild atmosphere of tribes and nature.
But the shrine given to Wu is different from all the previous ones.
This is indeed very cyberpunk.
It’s so trendy!
