Crossover anime/manga, can you be my immortal companion for life?

Even the merfolk might have been deceived by the thing depicted on the statue, leading them to do something insignificant, or even misleading them into believing that the statue was a statue of Dagon.

After all, if those fish-men really had never been to the sea, and even the supernatural powers they used came from their dreams, then who knows whether those dreams were echoes of their ancestors or the result of interference from something else?

This may be what is meant by "it is not the believers who are chasing after the idols, but the idols who are chasing after the believers."

"Never mind, let's eat first."

He elbowed Kerry.

"By the way, Kirito said that we can go to his family's kendo dojo for free to train when we have time. We ate quite a lot this time, do you want to go?"

"Next time, don't we still need to make a plan to deal with those bureaucrats? It's been such a waste of time, but at least we didn't miss that day."

Kerry glanced at his guitar case containing the shotgun and nodded.

Chapter 83: There is a cake maker.

"Gudu! Gudu!"

"Just eat it!"

Kazuma glared resentfully at Kerry, who was sitting alone by the hot pot, then leaned on the back of Kirito's chair and turned his head away.

As otaku, the first thing we did after we got rich was to assemble three computers in the living room.

Meanwhile, Kirito, a web developer, was creating two programs.

"Yui, help me search."

Kirito spoke into the webcam on his desk and then took his hands off the keyboard.

"Okay, Dad!"

The computer responded with a sound.

"Hey, you're playing way too weirdly."

Kazuma didn't know that Yui was actually the AI ​​that Kirito used to play in the game; he only thought that Kirito had created the language program himself, so he looked at him with a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Kirito didn't explain, he just looked at the prompts that appeared on the screen.

As a programming talent who could find things in the Metropolitan Police Department's database at the age of 10 and connect the game's AI daughter to the camera to go shopping as soon as the game was released, he played a huge role that Kazuma had not been able to play in the two months since he joined the team.

Kirito created two programs based on the two's requests. One program automatically retrieved news about the travel of Environment Agency officials specified by Kerry and the other, so that the two could predict the location of those officials and make it easier to kill them one-on-one.

The other is a web crawler that automatically searches for alarm incidents and news of haunted houses and suicides with strange elements in Tokyo and the surrounding areas. This way, when no one asks for help, the group doesn't have to search for targets aimlessly. After collecting information and analyzing it with the super artificial intelligence Kiritani Yui, they can deduce the locations where supernatural events are most likely to occur.

However, as expected of Japan's suicide predator, the Tokyo map that Kirito had transferred from another software was full of red dots as soon as the search began.

Kerry put some food in the bowl and walked over with the bowl in his hand.

He couldn't stand it anymore. Kazuma had made hot pot without buying any dipping sauce, and everyone was just eating it with raw eggs. The two of them were laughing their heads off, and even Kerry couldn't hold back. Kerry had ordered Panda Express, a popular food delivery service for international students at Tokyo University, and got some vinegar and chili peppers from the Chinese Goods Store. It had just arrived, so he was eating later than the other two.

As a result, the more Kirito looked at the map, the more troubled he became.

"Well, according to calculations, it seems that the most likely place for paranormal events in the vicinity is this street."

He gave Kerry and Shin a strange look, then casually clicked on a few markers. Hovering the mouse over a marker would display a brief description of the event retrieved by AI, while clicking on it would directly redirect to the original URL.

“In the house right across from ours, there was a mass incident involving purple clay teapots, which seems to be related to murder by wishing. One of the users who committed suicide posted related comments on social media multiple times before his death.”

Kerry and Sato Kazuma were suddenly taken aback and exchanged a glance.

Wait a minute, it seems that when we went to Totsuki to investigate before, it was also related to the wish-making murder. However, because Kerry met Nao Sadazuka, the investigation progress was reduced by 80% and the criminal target was locked.

But it's no use thinking about it now. Totsuki Academy has suspended classes and is repairing the campus because of what happened before. It is said that this time they plan to cut down all the forest, leaving only the necessary teaching facilities, and build roads and public dormitories, strengthen the control of campus violence and other situations, reduce academic pressure, and no longer let students grow up wildly in the mountains where it is easy to commit crimes.

Then the two watched as Kirito clicked on several other links.

"This data was provided by a haunted house identification agency. It seems that the website has collected quite a lot of information. Let me see what's going on in our neighborhood."

"Uh……"

When they saw the bizarre and outlandish messages, they were all speechless.

The first incident occurred in the row of houses that Kerry and his companions were facing away from.

[A 22-year-old male graduate committed suicide by hanging himself at home out of fear of death.]

[A group of people made a suicide pact, but one of them changed his mind halfway through. His companions considered him a traitor and hanged him. After seeing his gruesome state, the companions became afraid and abandoned their own suicide attempts.]

Then it happened on the other side.

A 28-year-old man killed his father in a fit of rage after his girlfriend cheated on him and he was questioned by his parents upon returning home.

"This little brat is no longer human."

Kazuma looked somewhat annoyed.

A 55-year-old housewife, having heard that a new law would allow her deceased partner to inherit their pension, poisoned her husband. When discovered, the two fought, resulting in the housewife's death, and the husband was sentenced to life imprisonment.

A 34-year-old man, burdened with debt after a failed business venture, was pressured by his wife to divorce him. He traveled to Tokyo, attempting to defraud insurance companies by arguing about an electrical accident to pay off his debts. He electrocuted his 62-year-old mother with an electrical wire, but when she screamed too loudly, he tried to cover her mouth with a cloth, only to be electrocuted himself. When the Metropolitan Police Department found them, they were both already dead…

At first, everyone was quite happy, but when they started investigating some cases in the surrounding area, they all fell silent.

"So why do you say that paranormal events happen here? Isn't it the same all over Tokyo?"

Kazuma never liked this oppressive atmosphere, so he changed the subject and pointed to the screen.

It seems like so many things happened on one street, so this street is indeed a bit eerie. But this is Tokyo. If you use a haunted house or case record app, you'll find that there are red dots all over Tokyo. No street is without incident.

As an international city with a large flow of people and a large migrant population, it is normal to have this kind of thing.

This cannot even be called a security problem in Tokyo. Although the Japanese police are not very strict in other places, they are still very vigilant in Tokyo. After all, if they are not vigilant, who knows which official or member of parliament will be robbed or killed on his way home from get off work? That would be the death of the Metropolitan Police Department Chief.

"Because of the dates these events occurred."

Kiritani Kazuto pointed to the screen.

"Most of the major cases in this area occurred between three weeks ago and two months ago. Therefore, according to my pre-set algorithm, it is abnormal for low-probability events to occur in such a concentrated manner."

"I see."

Kazuma nodded.

That's normal, after all, he had previously seen that the house was haunted.

However, at this moment, Kerry frowned.

"Don't we have any in this house?"

Upon hearing Kerry's words, Kirito suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"I...we? What did you do?"

Seeing that Kirito had misunderstood, Kazuma explained, "When we moved in, we heard from the town's residents that the previous owner of this place had committed suicide. By the way, be careful when you go to the bathroom at night. Don't be afraid if you see blood coming out of the faucet or if your reflection in the mirror doesn't look like you're moving."

"You can just call him Kerry; that ghost seems pretty afraid of him."

Upon hearing this, Kirito was momentarily speechless, a fine layer of sweat forming on his forehead, but he still managed to search for something.

"No, the information released does not show that this room is a room for people with mental health issues, nor is there any case related to it."

Chapter 84 New Clues.

Upon hearing Kirito's answer, Kerry and Kazuma exchanged bewildered glances.

What happened before that?

Not quite sure, the two decided to ask the elderly women in the neighborhood if they had the chance.

The fact that it's haunted even though there's no case makes things even stranger than if there were. And why do those old ladies say it's a haunted house?

Is the Metropolitan Police Department covering something up, or are the old ladies just repeating hearsay, or perhaps they made up a story because it's supposedly haunted?

Afterwards, Kazuma went to wash the dishes and put all the kitchen waste into a transparent plastic bag.

This is the unique Japanese waste sorting system I mentioned earlier.

On specific days, different types of garbage are dumped directly at the designated collection point, and then the garbage truck collects them all at once. Everyone uses transparent plastic bags, which makes it easier for the town to inspect and also effectively prevents people from dumping corpses in garbage bags.

However, the downsides are also obvious. For example, wet waste like kitchen waste is difficult to dispose of until the designated time, and sometimes it can only be left at home.

This also easily leads to situations where people drink beer and can't throw it away the next day, so they just leave it scattered on the ground and collect it later.

After the meal, Kirito decided to continue investigating nearby cases to see if he could find any information, while also keeping an eye on the Environmental Agency's movements. If they were caught leaving Kasumigaseki, Kazuma could stake out the area.

Kazuma finished her housework and then went straight to the game, taking the opportunity to check her family's social media after several days.

Kerry, however, didn't think much of it. He figured that since something seemed off around them, they might as well wander around.

However, since the two of them had been busy and hadn't changed the locks or gotten a couple more keys, Kerry told them to at least leave one of them awake.

"Don't worry, I definitely won't sleep tonight."

Kazuma, sitting in front of the computer and opening the Duel Master game, waved to Kerry.

Kerry shrugged helplessly and closed the door.

There's nothing we can do about it; their biological clock used to be based on sleeping during the day.

As soon as he closed the door, he noticed a truck parked right in front of him, and Kerry frowned.

"Sorry, this family is moving."

A young man in uniform bowed repeatedly when he saw Kerry come out of the door, expressing his deepest apologies for blocking Kerry's doorway.

Kerry looked towards the front of the car and saw a man wearing a mask who looked unusually dejected, and a blue-haired girl with pigtails in a school uniform.

Although the girl tried her best to hide it, there were red marks at the corners of her eyes as if she had cried her heart out, and there were also some blood vessels in the whites of her eyes. She was looking at the small two-story building next door with a look that was both unwilling and stubborn.

Noticing that they were being watched, the girl turned around, a look of surprise on her face, and walked over in her little leather shoes.

"I'm so sorry for the stockings! We moved to Toyokawa next door."

Looking at the girl, who resembled a little blue octopus, wearing the uniform of the Moon Forest Girls' Noble Academy, Kerry finally understood why the house had looked so familiar before.

Although she looked dejected, the girl still spoke apologetically.

However, this verbal tic is quite rare, because it sounds like adding "please" before every sentence. It's somewhat like the elegant accent of Kyoto, which is something only nobles would use. Kyoto used to have an elegant accent, and you could tell someone's ancestral background just by listening to their accent.
