Crossover Anime: How a Shameless Person Lives

After learning about the situation from the old village chief, the two decided to take a stroll around the village.

They were trying to find traces of that "ghost".

The village is not large, and most of it is abandoned.

In one afternoon, the two of them searched the entire village.

However, no clues were found regarding the tall woman.

It's getting dark now.

Surely that thing isn't deliberately hiding from them?

Deliberately hiding?

Mercury, having searched through another house, suddenly remembered something.

The tall woman seemed to be the one who was only seen when the children who suddenly disappeared were alone.

But if they were separated, he wasn't sure if he could actually harm something like a "ghost".

What if I die?

Although I've always been giving up and taking it one day at a time.

But if he were to actually die, then that's another story.

Not to mention that he still has a glimmer of hope in his heart and a bit more ambition.

Mercury took a sip of his drink, glanced at the Snow Maiden Deep Winter beside the courtyard, and then opened the control panel.

……

[Real Name: Mercury - Wealth and Splendor]

Gender: Male

[Physical Fitness: 27 (Special Forces: 10, steadily increasing)]

[Abilities: King of Salt, Whirlpool, Lock Picking, Machine Repair, Concentration.]

[Items: Clothes, pants, shoes, alcohol, hypnotic ring, salt...]

[Faction: Vortex (Out of Status)]

Status: Good

……

I glanced at my stats; my constitution is still improving.

After killing the "centipede monster" last time, the moderate increase in strength turned into a large increase, and after a few days, the constitution was raised to 27.

The Salt King's abilities have also been developed considerably.

At least the number of types of salt that it assimilates has increased.

Due to my physical condition, my control ability has also extended to a distance of 1 kilometer.

Should my current physique be classified as S+ Ghoul?

If we include the Salt King, his current strength should be above average, right?

Of course, this doesn't include ghouls and parasites, which are just sidelined.

This estimate is based solely on Junji Ito's world as a standard.

Not as good as the best, not as good as the worst... More than enough compared to the worst...

"What are you thinking about?"

Mercury felt his head being covered by a cold hand.

"It's nothing, don't touch my head." Mercury glanced at her.

Snow Woman Shen Dong smiled, her eyes crinkling, and touched his scalp again with her fingertips: "Found a clue?"

"Pretty much." Mercury brought the flask to his lips, took a sip, and said, "That thing specifically targets lone children, probably because it's afraid of crowds."

Following his words, Yuki-onna Fuyumi said, "So you mean... we'll split up?"

She frowned, not really wanting to agree to the suggestion.

Putting aside the dangers, this was a rare opportunity to be alone with the child... Mercury.

She wanted to repeat what happened last time.

"Otherwise what?" Mercury took another gulp of wine, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Don't stray too far from me; let me, this 'child,' be the bait."

He had finally found a safety net, and he didn't want to give up this opportunity.

If that doesn't work, contact the old headmaster and go to Natsume's place.

That kind guy will definitely take me in.

With a backup plan in place, why not test the waters again? He might as well just go back to Heiwo Town!

"Be careful." Yuki-onna nodded solemnly in the deep winter.

This is the only option left.

……

"Pop~"

"Mwah~"

"Huh?" Mercury turned around in surprise.

There was a tall, beautiful woman wearing a straw hat.

As it walked past the two-meter-high wall, it made strange popping sounds.

When she saw him looking over, she gave him a strange smile.

"The Snow Woman just left in the depths of winter, and she couldn't resist anymore? What kind of ghost story mechanic is this?"

As he looked at the tall woman, the sand beneath Mercury's feet began to turn into salt.

This was truly a big surprise for him.

It's a head taller than the two-meter-high wall.

It was also making strange noises.

It looks quite beautiful, yet it somehow evokes a sense of fear.

"Deep winter!"

The moment the two locked eyes, Mercury shouted, and the salt beneath their feet melted at an instant, directly eroding the walls into fine salt.

This completely exposed the tall woman.

"Holy crap! That's so erotic!"

Mercury stared wide-eyed at the tall woman.

She was dressed in white, with long hair reaching her waist, and a straw hat on her head. She had a chubby figure, especially her enormous breasts!

It gave him a very familiar feeling.

"Tall or eight feet tall? Never mind, go to hell!"

With just a quick glance, the fine salt beneath Mercury's feet transformed into sharp spikes, piercing the woman.

Anyway, it's just a monster used to test the King of Salt, so he doesn't care if it looks good or not!

"Pop?"

Upon witnessing this inhumane scene, the tall woman also showed a puzzled expression.

He stretched out his palm, trying to block what was attacking him.

Instead, his palm was pierced directly, producing a hissing sound as if branded by iron.

"Mwah mwah mwah!!!"

The tall woman's voice gradually turned painful, while Mercury's expression gradually changed from solemn to ecstatic.

"Yes! It can hurt!" Mercury exclaimed excitedly.

The salt he assimilated also possessed the same effects as the sacred salt in myths and legends!

"Since you can get hurt, then go ahead and die!"

The fine salt around them gradually floated up, trying to completely block the tall woman's escape route.

The tall woman's smile grew even more sinister, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth and eyes filled with endless malice.

The popping sounds became more rapid.

Mercury glared back defiantly.

It can get hurt and bleed.

What is he afraid of?

Imagine yourself as a whirlpool!

"What happened?!"

Just then, Yuki-onna, Shin-fuyu, ran over from another courtyard.

"You've come at the right time. Don't let her get away," Mercury said, turning around.

"Who?"

"This is it..."

Upon hearing Yuki-onna's question about deep winter, Mercury pointed ahead.

But the place was now completely empty, with only fine salt floating in the air.

"They ran away?"

"What, it ran away?"

Snow Woman Shen Dong ran to his side and asked in confusion.

She had indeed vaguely seen a tall figure disappear.

"Tsk, I'll tell you when I get back."

"it is good."

Snow Woman Deep Winter nodded and quietly took Mercury's hand.

Mercury simply glanced at her and acquiesced.
