Kaguya-sama: Love Is War wants me to turn myself in.

We left the park.

Amamiya Natsuki quickly received messages from Chika, Haimu, and the others, clearly having also received a notification from Ms. Mitsui.

After replying to everyone, we agreed on a location and quickly met at the entrance of Kabukicho Ichiban-gai. Ms. Mitsui led the way, accompanied by several Bureau staff members in suits, and headed straight for the ghost stories.

Chapter 660 The Ghost Story Hunter

"Please follow me, everyone. A staff member from the Bureau has discovered something unusual and is currently investigating..."

Ms. Mitsui led the way while explaining the details.

After receiving information about the ghost story from Natsuki Amamiya, Ms. Mitsui immediately notified all the players. Meanwhile, the other staff at the Management Bureau were also busy, beginning a search and investigation of suspicious targets near Ichiban-gai.

This operation is the first since the establishment of the Ghost Stories Administration. It has sufficient personnel and funding, and the goal is to successfully eliminate the ghost stories and make a great start. In addition to dozens of players participating in the operation, there are even more staff members, making it a truly saturated operation.

There is strength in numbers.

As players and staff continued their search, someone soon discovered a rather suspicious individual.

Miss Mitsui said as she walked:

"The suspicious person was standing in the corner of the plaza near the east exit of Ichiban Street. He was wearing a trench coat, keeping his head down, and wasn't using his phone..."

The suspicious thing wasn't that the other person was wearing a trench coat in the summer.

Perhaps he's an exhibitionist, and it's hard to say if there's nothing under his trench coat. There are countless people dressed strangely on the streets. According to information obtained from the victims, their ages and genders varied, and the clothes they wore also differed.

What aroused the staff's suspicion was that although the other person kept their head down, they did not use their phone.

In this era where everyone is captivated by their mobile phones, not to mention during work hours, no one can resist the temptation of their phones after get off work.

After a while.

"arrive."

Ms. Mitsui stopped in her tracks.

The group had arrived outside Ichiban-gai. Not far away was the square fountain, with neon lights flashing and beautiful water splashing out from time to time. Unfortunately, in this busy era, no one stopped to appreciate it.

At the same time, two bureau personnel dressed in suits quickly approached and bowed, saying:

"Ms. Mitsui."

Mitsui pushed up his glasses and said in a low voice:

"Did the other party exhibit any unusual behavior during this period?"

"No," a man in a suit replied in a low voice. "The other person has been standing quietly by the fountain the whole time and hasn't moved."

After discovering the suspicious target, the staff did not take any rash action, but observed vigilantly from a distance until the group arrived.

Amamiya Natsuki said softly:

“Ms. Mitsui, let’s take a look at the other party.”

"Please," Ms. Mitsui said, bowing deeply. "Please be sure to take care of yourselves."

Amamiya Natsuki nodded, and together with the young lady and the others, they quickly met the suspicious target under the guidance of the staff.

It was a woman with disheveled hair, standing alone beside the fountain, her head down, her black hair obscuring her face, making it impossible to see what she looked like.

At this very moment, as their gaze fell upon the suspicious target, a notification from the [Game] system rang in the minds of all players—

[Real-world guard mission triggered!]

[Mission Objective: Defeat the Strange-Faced Demon]

[Time: Unlimited]

[Successfully defeated, you will receive the following rewards—]

[1000 Game Coins]

[Ten Free Attribute Points]

[Three random skill scrolls]

[One skin card]

[A high-quality prop]

[One copy exemption card]

"So many rewards!"

"A strange creature is actually worth that much?"

"The rewards are much higher than clearing dungeons!"

Besides Natsuki Amamiya and her group, there are many other casual players who have never encountered the ghost stories of invasion in real life.

Upon seeing the rewards for defeating the monster, they all became excited.

The dungeon is fraught with danger; one wrong move and you could die. Even veteran players can't guarantee they'll survive.

But now, all you need to do is kill the monsters that invade the real world, and the generous rewards are enough to clear two or three dungeons. Who wouldn't be tempted?

Moreover, the level of danger is very low.

Surrounded by so many people, this ghost story couldn't possibly escape, could it?

Steady!

This is sure!

"It really is a ghost story." Kitagawa Kaimu muttered to himself, "It felt so easy to find the other person, even though the previous ghost stories were super hard to find."

Amamiya Natsuki whispered:

"This operation involved a lot of manpower and resources, so it would be strange if we didn't find any ghost stories."

Senior Sister Yanzi frowned slightly, looking somewhat worried:

"The ghost stories about invading the world are all very strange, and it feels like they won't be easily eliminated."

Amamiya Natsuki narrowed her eyes slightly and whispered:

"Senior is right."

"Eh?"

"You'll find out after you read it."

"..."

Although the rewards are generous, they can only be obtained by the person who kills the enemy, unlike dungeons where rewards are distributed based on contribution. As a result, players who were originally united against the enemy have become subtly hostile to each other.

These casual players are most concerned about Amamiya Natsuki. As the "Leg King" with the time-stop skill, no one can "steal monsters" from Amamiya Natsuki.

Noticing the gaze fixed on her, Natsuki Amamiya took a half step back, making her stance clear:

"This is a strange creature that has invaded from another world. It usually has bizarre abilities and is not so easy to eliminate... You can try, but I won't intervene."

After receiving Natsuki Amamiya's assurance, the casual players immediately felt relieved. After exchanging glances, they began attacking the ghost story.

At times like this, there's no queue; instead, everyone rushes forward, and it's all about who's quick and lucky enough to get the kill and the reward.

"President, are we really not going to make a move?"

"I asked in a low voice," Fujiwara Chika inquired.

“No need to rush.” Natsuki Amamiya narrowed her eyes slightly. “That ghost story won’t be so easily destroyed.”

"..."

Players cannot destroy the supernatural tales with their fists; to harm supernatural creatures, they can only use equipment, items, or skills produced in the game.

Random players willing to come and hunt for ghost stories naturally knew this common knowledge. At this moment, they all took out their supernatural weapons, a wide variety of kinds, including bloodstained scissors, baseball bats stained with suspicious liquid, cracked mirror shards, and someone even took out a silver flintlock pistol...

Although this is a corner of the square, pedestrians still pass by from time to time.

At that moment, as a group of strangers pulled out all sorts of items and rushed towards a frail woman, passersby were all startled. Some quickly retreated, worried about getting involved, choosing to remain indifferent, while others hurriedly took out their phones to call the police. As for those who stood up for what was right... not a single one did.

Please do not make phone calls or record videos.

Several staff members in suits, anticipating this, quickly stepped forward and restrained the passersby.

at the same time.

The attacks from the random players also landed on the ghost story. Scissors, baseball bats, scalpels... After being hit by a variety of attacks, the woman's body quickly began to tremble, and bright red blood flowed out.

The strange woman's body trembled instantly, and she covered her face with her hands, seemingly wanting to turn around and run away.

boom!

A young player pulled the trigger, and a wisp of white smoke billowed from the muzzle of the flintlock pistol. Then a silver bullet flew out. It was unclear what kind of gun it was, but the bullet was very slow, and even an ordinary person could see it with the naked eye.

The bullet spun through the air, creating a spiraling ripple, before striking the eerie woman in the back.

sizzle.

White flames suddenly ignited on the woman's body. The eerie woman paused, then collapsed to the ground with a thud, becoming completely still.

"whispering sound."

"hateful."

"That guy stole the kill."

Other players were unhappy to see this, but since the management staff were nearby, no one took any drastic action.

However, the random player did not show any surprise on his face, but rather looked astonished and asked in confusion:

"Where's the promised reward? Why is there nothing?"

Amamiya Natsuki said calmly:

"Because you didn't kill that weirdo."

A passerby player looked over warily: "What does this mean?"

Natsuki Amamiya didn't explain, but turned her head and said:

"Ms. Mitsui, you can come and clean up the mess now."

Standing at a distance, Ms. Mitsui, who clearly understood the meaning of self-preservation, quickly walked over and ordered her men to begin examining the strange woman.
