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

Two staff members stepped forward and carefully turned the woman lying on the ground over. It was an unfamiliar face that they did not recognize.

Kaguya Shinomiya gently furrowed her brows and said:

"She seems like an ordinary person."

A staff member quickly said:

"She still has breathing and a pulse; she is indeed an ordinary person."

Miss Mitsui frowned slightly and quickly said:

"Yamamoto-san, get the paramedics here."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, a man in a suit bowed, quickly took out his phone, and walked to the side.

"How...how could he be an ordinary person?"

Upon hearing this news, the group of casual players were stunned, especially the guys who had attacked the ghost woman with weapons; they were all at a loss and looked extremely nervous.

Killing the supernatural is psychologically stress-free, but if the target is an ordinary person... it feels completely different.

"Strange?" Fujiwara Chika asked curiously, "What is that layer of debris on the ground?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked down at the ground and saw a layer of white debris where the strange woman had been lying. As the evening breeze blew, the white debris scattered everywhere in the wind.

A random player hesitated and said:

"If I remember correctly, the ground was clean before. This must have appeared after the woman collapsed."

"It looks like some kind of debris."

"I once ate a kind of sesame seed cake that was very crispy. When you took a bite, there were a lot of crumbs. It feels somewhat similar."

"..."

Amamiya Natsuki said in a deep voice:

"That's a broken face."

"Huh? Shamelessness?!"

Upon hearing this, the casual players surrounding the discussion quickly retreated, afraid that the wind would blow the thing onto them. They felt quite disgusted if a piece of broken skin landed on them.

The female player who said it looked like crumbs from a sesame seed cake covered her mouth with both hands, looking extremely uncomfortable.

"Natsuki-kun, have you discovered anything?"

Ms. Mitsui looked up at him and asked earnestly.

Of everyone present, the person she trusted most was Natsuki Amamiya, followed by Kaguya, while everyone else was sidelined.

Amamiya Natsuki said calmly:

"When we used psychic magic to summon the victims' ghosts to ask about the situation, they all mentioned that after encountering the ghost story, they felt someone following them... Ms. Mitsui, you should have checked the surveillance footage, right? There was only one person in the footage, wasn't there?"

“That’s right.” Ms. Mitsui nodded. “After confirming the ghost story incident on Ichiban Street, we immediately investigated all the surveillance footage. All the victims we could observe were alone and there was no evidence of them being followed. Based on our analysis, we suspect that the ghost story has the ability to become invisible and cannot be captured by electronic surveillance.”

“There’s another possibility.” Natsuki Amamiya held up a finger. “The ghost story didn’t go invisible; it was always with the victim, but no one noticed.”

"How is that possible?" a random player couldn't help but exclaim. "If the ghost story doesn't have an invisibility mechanic, why can't we find it?"

At this moment, Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly spoke:

"It's the face!"

All eyes turned to her, but Kaguya Shinomiya remained calm and continued:

"The information given by the victim's ghost is not always 100% accurate. The eerie thing may just be a face that covers the victim's face the moment the victim sees it. That's why every ghost says they are being followed, but neither they themselves nor the surveillance cameras can find the figure of the ghost."

Yukino Yukinoshita said softly:

"It is very likely that when those victims died, there were actually reflective objects around them, such as mirrors, pools of water, glass, cell phone screens, etc. That's why the last thing each person heard was 'You saw it'... 'You saw it' is both the beginning and the end of the ghost story."

"..."

Upon hearing this speculation, everyone fell silent.

The strangeness of the Face Demon was clearly beyond everyone's imagination. Those casual players who thought it was nothing special put their contempt aside.

Natsuki Amamiya broke the silence, saying:

"The game did not give a notification that the mission was completed, which proves that we have not yet killed that monster. It should have multiple lives. Each face we collect is a life. The broken skin of the face may have possessed someone else through some means."

Everyone shivered and quickly took out their phones to check their faces, lest they be possessed without even realizing it.

"Thank goodness, it's just my own face." Fujiwara Chika clutched her chest, letting out a sigh of relief. "This ghost story is too eerie!"

“It’s certainly strange, but its strength isn’t that great,” said Natsuki Amamiya. “After all, it was just beaten to a pulp by everyone’s punches.”

Everyone: "..."

"Wait a minute." Zhu Zhu's eyes widened, and she suddenly realized, "If a face represents a life, wouldn't the faces that were taken from those victims be included?"

Kaguya Shinomiya said with a solemn expression:

"It's probably true."

Everyone's face turned grim.

So far, the number of victims has approached thirty. In other words, that ghost story has at least thirty lives. Destroying one face is nothing.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Mitsui-san and said seriously:

"The person possessed by that face will most likely still be like this woman, keeping their head down and unwilling to see people."

“I understand.” Ms. Mitsui nodded seriously and said without any further words, “Everyone, continue the search. We must eliminate that face today.”

We cannot delay.

As the number of victims increases, the number of times that face will be used as a substitute for death will also increase, so it must be eliminated as soon as possible.

"What should she do?"

A random player asked anxiously.

The paramedics had not yet arrived, and the unfortunate woman lay alone on the ground, blood flowing freely beneath her, her condition and life hanging in the balance.

Miss Mitsui frowned and said:

"Get the paramedics here quickly."

"Yes," a man in a suit bowed and said, "He'll be here in three minutes."

That being said, everyone knows that this unfortunate woman is most likely not going to survive.

"President." Fujiwara Chika looked up, tugged at Amamiya Natsuki's sleeve, and whispered, "Please save her?"

Amamiya Natsuki nodded slightly, half-squatted down, took out a red glass bottle, uncorked it, and poured the medicine into the woman's mouth.

As soon as she drank the medicine, the woman's complexion visibly returned to normal, and the deathly pallor of before vanished.

"what is that?"

Someone couldn't help but ask.

A knowledgeable bystander whispered:

"I've seen it in the game's shop; it should be a healing potion. After drinking it, no matter how severe the injury, it can quickly restore half of your health. One potion costs 100 game coins..."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the other casual players became extremely complicated.

Honestly, if it were them, even if they had the medicine, they might not be willing to give it up.

The woman lying on the ground was a complete stranger, yet the mercurochrome could save her life. It's hard to be so magnanimous.

But Kaguya and the others knew that what Amamiya Natsuki fed the woman was not a life-saving potion at all. If it were really red medicine, the woman would already be sitting up, running and jumping.

Amamiya Natsuki had actually used copy and paste to directly transfer his life force. He didn't need much; just enough to save the woman's life. Although 100 game coins wasn't much, red potions were rare and not something you could just buy whenever you wanted.

Immediately afterwards, paramedics in white coats ran over with a stretcher and quickly lifted the woman into the ambulance for treatment.

Ms. Mitsui let out a soft breath, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Natsuki Amamiya, and then said:

"Please continue your work."

"Yes!"

The morale of the casual players has soared significantly; if there were an emotion collection system, these people would have generated a lot of positive emotions just now.

Everyone took action.

After learning about the eeriness of the ghost story, no one dared to take it lightly anymore.

Amamiya Natsuki looked at Zhu Zhu and extended her hand, saying:

"Let's go too."

Zhu Zhu blushed and whispered:

"Focus on finding that ghost story, and don't do anything strange!"

Amamiya Natsuki asked, puzzled:

"What's strange?"

Zhu Zhu gritted her teeth: "You know perfectly well what's going on!"

Amamiya Natsuki smiled and said, "I don't know."

"Pooh!"

Zhu Zhu couldn't help but spit out a light "Vulgar!"

The situation was quite serious. Instead of bullying Zhu Zhu in the park or wandering around, Amamiya Natsuki took Zhu Zhu to a corner to rest and wait for someone to call them.

ten minutes later.

Under the saturation of the search, the unlucky soul newly possessed by the ghost story has been discovered once again...

Chapter 661 Sorry, Everyone's an informant

"It's him."

Led by Ms. Mitsui, Natsuki Amamiya and her group soon met the unfortunate soul who had been possessed.
