Chapter 52 The Truth About Ghost Town
Special Operations Department for Extraordinary Phenomena.

Thirteenth Squad Office.

In the center of the pure white room, there was a strange machine.

A bed was placed on either side of the machine.

On the left lay a young man with no eyeballs and deeply sunken eye sockets, while on the right lay a fat, chubby man with a kind face.

"It's been six days! Shinichi has been in that person's mental world for a full six days!"

Minako Hase almost turned her beautiful hair into a bird's nest.

She lit another cigarette, took a deep drag, then went to the fat man's bedside and angrily blew the smoke in his face.

Fukuyama Kazuo, standing to the side, also had a solemn expression and remained silent.

The two of them were the ones responsible for bringing up the Misaki incident in the [Island Ghost Stories] instance.

At this moment, the two people on the bed showed no signs of waking up.

Minako went into a frenzy again: "Six days is equivalent to sixty years inside! What on earth is going on that Shinichi couldn't solve even after sixty years?! Damn it!"

She went to the blind young man again.

I tried to do something, but I could only stare blankly.

Fukuyama Kazuya simply shook his head:
"No one expected Shinichi to fail. The higher-ups must have been hiding something from the prisoner. The supernatural phenomena that invaded the prisoner's mind might not be B-rank, but perhaps A or even S-rank. Otherwise, there's no reason for this to happen."

Both of them knew that in this situation, Shinichi was most likely beyond saving.

His body is still alive, but is it really possible for his consciousness to hold on?
How many years of torment will Shinichi, who possesses the ability to reset in cycles, have to endure? Can he persevere?
Everyone knows the answer.

Although the higher-ups had long ago said they wanted to abandon Shinichi.

But how is that possible.

The three-person team, bound by seven years of friendship, insisted on giving it a try even though they knew it was hopeless.

Minako stubbed out her cigarette and shouted towards the corner of the room, "Misaki, bring me the criminal's file again."

"Oh."

A clean-looking, fair-skinned, and adorable little girl responded.

She ran around the huge white room, her footsteps echoing.

Arriving at the filing cabinet, I looked out at the stack of file folders on the upper floor.

Stand on tiptoe and raise your hand.

I can't reach it.

I tried jumping, but I still couldn't reach it.

brush--

She flew up and took down the file folder.

"Didn't I say that using resentment indoors is prohibited!"

Minako roared.

"Bah"

Misaki looked like she was about to cry.

"Alright, alright, the files are so high up, even Misaki-chan couldn't get them down without doing it this way," Fukuyama said, trying to smooth things over.

"Isn't there a ladder? Besides, if we can't get it down, can't we just push the cabinet over and take it down? Or break the cabinet into pieces and we can still get it down?"

Minako seems to be in very good spirits.

Maeda Misaki didn't say anything, but silently took a stack of documents and walked over.

"You big-breasted, brainless bitch, I really want to slap you."

She thought to herself.

Her expression remained gentle and adorable.

Fukuyama looked at the message above Misaki's head, pursed his lips, and remained silent.

Minako took the stack of files and began flipping through them one by one.

Why did the sow scream in agony all night? It turns out to be a ghost story.

That's not it.

The untold secret between the male dog and the female ghost

That's not it either.

[The butt stuck in the TV]

Neither is this one.

[R18: Unbanned! Podo X Infantry]

"Karou, why did you bring this thing to the office?" Minako frowned.

Fukuyama Kazuaki looked completely innocent: "That belongs to Shinichi-kun."

Damn, you're slandering blind people, aren't you?

Minako didn't bother with Fukuyama.

She looked at the next file.

[Murder Case by a Mentally Ill Person]

[Description: The target is named Yasuto Ueno, a patient with multiple personality disorder. According to his doctor, he has as many as eighteen personalities, and there is a possibility that the number may continue to increase.]

[Most of their personalities do not exhibit violent tendencies or have a criminal history. They encompass diverse populations across all ages, genders, and nationalities.]

John Smith: An American, 42 years old, kind and friendly, loves children.

Sun Xiaochuan: A native of Xia (questionable), 35 years old, refined and easy-going, and dislikes swearing.

[Winter Snow Lotus: An islander (supposedly an immigrant from the Xia Kingdom), she claims to be fourteen years old, but according to other personalities, her actual age is twenty-six.]

【XXX：.】

As you read through them line by line, there's nothing particularly unusual about these personalities.

Until the nineteenth personality appeared.

[Xiao Hong: Appears as a little girl wearing a red dress, who likes to laugh. She has extremely inexplicable violent tendencies; she killed nine people when she first appeared.]

[Based on testing, this is identified as a ghostly personality with unknown abilities. Its origin is unknown; whether it arose spontaneously from Ueno Yasuto or was invaded by a ghostly entity remains undetermined.]

After taking Xiaohong into custody, our forensic department determined that she could not be eliminated by directly killing the host.

[Conclusion and Recommendation: Based on the characteristics of ghost stories, it is recommended to send personnel into Ueno Yasuto's mental world to kill Kokoro. However, it should be noted that his outward appearance of strength may differ from his mental state, so caution is advised.]

[Final rating: B-level Ghost Story.]

Turning the page further, you'll find detailed experimental data, which Minako has already reviewed many times.

"Judging from the total amount of 'evil element' monitored and the various experimental data indicators, it is clearly a Class B ghost story."

Even Misaki, who's only A-rank, isn't that difficult to deal with.

Minako, her hair a mess, sat at the table, repeatedly flipping through the documents.

If we don't find the problem soon, Shinichi may never come back.

The higher-ups have already begun issuing orders to transfer Xiao Hong to the shelter within three days, and Shinichi's soul will have to be imprisoned along with her.

"Someone, please help me save Shinichi! I'll even pay with my body and teeth!"

Upon hearing this, Fukuyama inappropriately thought of a line often heard in movies:
"Madam, don't you miss your husband?"

Ugh.

If that's really the case, then it's alright.

There is no savior in the world who can save a person's life with such a simple reward.

On the bus.

Ji Yi could see that there were only three stops left on the train.

Starting point: 14th floor of the Magic Tower, passing through the Road to the Underworld, ending point: Ghost Town.

Has the evil god's banquet ended?

I'm also glad I didn't go, otherwise Miss Cat would have been doomed this time.

Even if the game's overall difficulty increased because of not attending the banquet, the original difficulty was by no means easy.

"The blind old man was unaware that he was alive, and Xiao Hong, who should have been the murderer, became the victim."

Ji Yi whispered to Miss Cat.

The latter was very uncomfortable with the breath blowing in his ear, but he could only remain in that state.

The bus is too quiet; if you want to communicate strategies discreetly, you can't be coy or pretentious.

"The truth is this: the blind old man is an outsider, distinct from the locals, and is a 'living person'. He possesses the incredible ability to rewind time, and it seems to have no limitations at present."

"His real goal was to kill Xiao Hong, but things turned out differently than expected, resulting in the current situation."

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Ba. Could you please stop licking my ears?"

Miss Cat interrupted.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Ji Yi shrank back slightly. "It's too dark to see clearly."

He straightened his expression, his voice soft and deep.

"Therefore, Xiao Hong's other ability has been revealed."

"Cognitive reversal."
