Thirteen Modesty

After arriving in Japan, I became a high school student named Kamiyagawa. Looking around—
Hanako crouched in the bathroom, waiting for someone to knock on the door; the Split-Mouth Woman wandered the streets with scissors in hand; Miss Mary's deathly calls echoed incessantly; the wails and barks in Inunaki Village never ceased; the Ubume searched for her long-dead child; the Aoandon smiled, enticing passersby to play with the lanterns of a hundred demons…
In a crumbling world rampant with sinister tales and malevolent spirits, Kamiyagawa set a small goal for himself:
"Defeat all the demons and monsters, and become the supreme ruler of ghosts and deities."

At the intersecting point of the dark, surging MingHe and the vast white water mist, a faint blue light continued to flicker; yet no matter how much Kamiya walked forward, the distance between him and the light never seemed to close.


The distance between them remained fixed.


As Kamiya stopped to contemplate briefly, he suddenly had a feeling—


Something in the MingHe seemed to have noticed him.


Once this feeling arose, the originally grain-of-rice-sized light suddenly enlarged to the size of a carriage wheel.


Now, it was clear what the light was—it was a lantern, shaped like a horse-hoof, but emitting a strange, bluish glow, like a wandering will-o'-the-wisp.


The lantern was hung on the gunwale of a small wooden boat, half of its shade completely submerged in the river of MingHe, yet the light did not extinguish.
