Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 3 Game House

After walking a few more steps into the alley and avoiding possible sight from the commercial street, Yang Liu turned around and carefully looked at the thin figure in front of him.

The man called Tanaka by Yang Liu looked no different from an ordinary person except that he was too thin. However, if you look closely at his lower body, you can find that his feet seem a little illusory.

There is no doubt that Tanaka in front of him is also a ghost.

However, unlike the ghosts wandering around freely, Tanaka should be considered an earthbound spirit.

At least from what Yang Liu learned, Tanaka seemed unable to leave this intersection, and he himself was unwilling to leave this intersection.

"Yes, yes! I'm really happy! Listen, Brother Yang, the sequel to that game is finally on sale again! It's already been restocked this morning, I can't be wrong!"

Hearing Yang Liu's question, Tanaka shouted excitedly, his body shaking a little unnaturally.

Yang Liu has become accustomed to this guy's "extreme" actions. After all, he has died once, and he is lucky to be able to maintain his sanity now.

Yang Liu had discovered Tanaka when he first arrived in Japan. At that time, this guy's mind was almost completely erased by his strong obsession. He couldn't even remember his own name. He only remembered the last name Tanaka.

Yang Liu finally figured out his obsession and gave him "hope", and this guy miraculously regained his sanity.

But after all, he had been dead for too long, and the guy's recovered mental state was at the level of "drooling even if he was cured."

As for his obsession...

"Brother Yang, please, please buy the game for me, at least let me take a look at it! This is my last request in my life!" Tanaka displayed his professionalism as a Japanese, and knelt down prostrating himself quite skillfully.

"Your life obviously ended a long time ago." Yang Liu couldn't help but complain in a low voice.

This is Tanaka's obsession.

This guy was a otaku when he was alive. A few years ago, he was on his way to buy a game disc when he was hit and killed by a speeding truck at this intersection.

However, he did not travel to another world. Instead, he turned into a ground-bound spirit and wandered around this intersection with his strong obsession with the game.

Unlike the mental barrier of the student ghost before, Tanaka can clearly see the game store.

However, due to the special nature of the earthbound spirit, even though the game store was just across the road, Tanaka could only watch from the intersection on this side and could not get close.

However, it was also because of this reason that his obsession became extremely strong, which was able to support him through the long years of wasting time, and even evolved from a vengeful spirit to an evil spirit.

Yang Liu turned her head to look at the game and video store facing the intersection. After observing carefully for a while, she finally found a poster related to the game in the corner of the glass door next to it.

In fact, the game that Tanaka was obsessed with was just a game produced by an unknown small company. Yang Liu was able to recognize it only because she heard Tanaka talking about it every day.

Out of politeness, Yang Liu didn't say much about his obsession, but sometimes she still wondered if the game company had gone bankrupt.

But judging from the situation, the gaming company is close to bankruptcy, if not already.

After all, judging from the content on the poster, this is not a re-release at all, but a clearance of inventory.

"You've been waiting for so long. It seems you're lucky. I'll buy one for you. After you buy it, don't be attached to the world anymore. Go and become a Buddha as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your help!" Upon hearing Yang Liu's words, Tanaka jumped up and down excitedly.

In fact, it was not just Tanaka who was looking forward to it. Yang Liu was also looking forward to it. He had seen many ghosts during the two and a half years he had been studying in Japan, and Tanaka's obsession and spirit strength were among the best in his opinion.

Yang Liu was curious about how powerful the residual gift left behind would be if Tanaka's obsession was lifted.

……

……

The purchasing process went very smoothly. Soon Yang Liu left the store and walked quickly to Tanaka under his expectant gaze.

"Here, is this it?" Yang Liu handed him a roughly packaged game CD.

"Yes! Yes! That's it!"

Tanaka looked at the name on the package and tears welled up in his eyes with excitement. With trembling hands, he carefully took it from Yang Liu.

Seeing that he actually took the CD, Yang Liu's eyes flashed with surprise.

Ghosts have a very poor ability to interfere with the material world. It is extremely difficult for a newly born vengeful spirit to even make people feel a chill, let alone create a gust of cold wind like in movies or novels.

Even if it reaches the level of an evil spirit, the impact it causes to humans can only reach the level of "mental depression" or "prone to illness". It mainly affects the mind, and it is quite difficult to directly affect the material world.

Of course there are exceptions. If a ghost is "observed" by someone, it seems to trigger some unknown observer effect, which creates a connection between the two parties and greatly increases the ghost's influence on the observed person.

This is also one of the main reasons why Yang Liu has been disguising himself in the process of helping ghosts get rid of their obsessions. He doesn't want the fact that he can see ghosts to be discovered by those wandering evil spirits and then be haunted by a group of evil spirits.

But even if a ghost triggers the observer effect, the "matter" that can be affected is limited to the observer's body.

However, Tanaka's behavior of directly holding the CD as he is doing now is unimaginable for ghosts.

"Is it because the game disc is the 'target object' of the obsession?" Yang Liu thought silently in his heart.

After receiving the CD, Tanaka's reaction was much smaller than Yang Liu had expected.

He simply opened the box of the game disc, reached out and kept stroking the disc, and the tears from his eyes turned into points of light and dissipated into the air.

Yang Liu took two steps back calmly, watching Tanaka's originally solid body become more and more illusory from bottom to top.

As Tanaka's soul became more and more illusory, black mist continued to emerge from his body and quickly dissipated.

As the black fog dissipated, Tanaka's remaining body became brighter and brighter, and Yang Liu even had the illusion that the other party was glowing.

Finally, Tanaka stopped stroking the game disc, raised his head and let out a long sigh.

He looked at Yang Liu, his eyes showing gratitude: "Thank you very much!"

"It's nothing. I'm just completing the deal between us."

Yang Liu accepted Tanaka's thanks calmly and wanted to say something else when he heard a "click" sound under his feet.

Yang Liu was slightly stunned when she saw the game disc dropped on the ground. She looked up and saw that Tanaka's soul had turned into a spot of light and disappeared, leaving only a ball of golden light floating in front of her eyes.
