Tokyo, love before they become female ghosts

Watching Koizumi Mio disappear at the bottom of the steps, Hase Takuya turned to look at the two women at the shrine entrance.

"Um... please don't take what my cousin just said to heart..."

As soon as Takuya Hase finished speaking, Mako looked over with a calm yet slightly questioning gaze, while Kayoko, standing beside him, tilted her head slightly and looked at him blankly.

He glanced down at the spot where he and Mio Koizumi had been standing. It was about thirty meters away from where the two women were. Since the sound hadn't been loud at first, the two women probably hadn't heard him.

"How about we go out for a walk this afternoon? We could even look into making a wardrobe for each of you?"

As Hase Takuya finished speaking, Mako nodded calmly, while Kayoko looked at him with a slightly shy pursed mouth.

"Thank you, Takuya-kun..."

Chang went to the living room, picked up Xiao Hei, who was lying on the floor with its eyes closed, and let it lie on his shoulder. The three of them and the cat then set off for the city with Xiao Hei.

Passing by a convenience store, Takuya Hase took the two girls inside and bought three bottles of drinks.

As they were paying, Jia Yezi looked down at the shelf at the cashier, which was filled with chewing gum and lighters, while Mako also looked at the shelf thoughtfully.

Takuya Hase assumed they wanted chewing gum, so he grabbed a box of Wrigley's and handed it to the cashier to pay.

"Sir, is there anything else you need to buy?"

"No need, please check out."

"Sir, are you sure you don't need it?"

Amidst the cashier's frantically blinking smile, Takuya Hase frowned slightly, wondering if it was some new marketing tactic from the convenience store.

"That's all, please settle the bill."

"Alright."

With a blank expression, the cashier gave Hase Takuya his change, and then curled her lip as the three people left.

"Both girls have been so obvious and he still hasn't reacted. This man has absolutely no sense of romance..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the cashier noticed that the tall, handsome tomboy among the two girls walked in.

Before she could even say "Welcome," she stuffed the medium and large umbrellas into her overalls and casually placed two thousand-yuan bills on the table.

On the way to the mall, Takuya Hase looked at Kayoko, who had mustered up the courage to ask him and Mako to wait for her, and then went to the convenience store next door to buy three ice creams and came back, which he found a little strange.

Why is your face so red just from buying an ice cream?

With a puzzled look on his face, Takuya Hase took the opportunity to stroke the back of the little black dog that was obediently perched on his shoulder, and then continued forward with the two girls.

Mako, who was half a step behind Hase Takuya, glanced at Kayoko beside her and their eyes met.

The moment their eyes met, one remained completely calm, while the other's gaze turned cold.

Her left hand, tucked into her work pants, unconsciously squeezed, and the palms on either side of her skirt pressed closer to her thighs.

On their way to the shopping center, Koizumi Mio returned to the Kyoto Exorcism Association headquarters.

"Chairman Koizumi!"

As she entered the headquarters of the Exorcist Association, all the exorcists she encountered along the way bowed respectfully to Mio Koizumi.

After nodding in response, Mio Koizumi entered the conference room, led by the trainee exorcist.

As she arrived, all the exorcists in the conference room looked over and prepared to get up to greet her.

She gestured for everyone to sit down, and Mio Koizumi went to the head seat and sat down, indicating that the meeting would continue as usual.

On the high-definition LCD screen, the PowerPoint presentation for this meeting was playing, and on it was a picture of a demon whose face was wrapped in petals like gray-white fingers and who was wearing a white kimono, looking both eerie and holy.

"Code name White Death. No one knows what it looks like when it unfolds under its fingers. It is impossible to determine whether these fingers are a manifestation of the cause of evil or some kind of unused means of its."

After introducing the basic information about White Death to the audience, Kojiro Nagano, the chief priest of Kyoto Gokokuji Temple and also the executive director of the Kyoto Exorcism Association, immediately switched to the next slide.

As the scene shifted, a dilapidated and eerie Japanese-style building, entangled with red ropes, stood in a dark forest before everyone's eyes.

"On June 3, a geological exploration team led by the famous geologist Yoshimura Yuto discovered its landing site in the dense forest. Subsequently, the entire geological exploration team, except for an intern named Takanashi Ito, was killed by the other party."

"Upon receiving the report, the police immediately formed a special task force with us to suppress the other party, but..."

As soon as the words were spoken, a video appeared on the screen as the slides switched again.

As Kojiro Nagano pressed play, the video began to shake.

From the viewpoint, this is clearly footage captured by a police officer's body camera.

"Unmanned reconnaissance vehicle is ready."

"Send it out immediately!"

The pager relayed the captain's instructions. On the screen, three black unmanned reconnaissance vehicles, covered in runes and loaded with numerous one-time-use offensive spiritual energy items, sped toward the old-fashioned building with a hissing engine.

Then the view shifted and we were behind the police officer who was operating the unmanned reconnaissance vehicle.

Above the screen, the unmanned reconnaissance vehicle wobbled as it climbed the steps by the door, then popped out a mechanical rotating saw that cut open the wooden door in front of it.

In the cold, white scene, three reconnaissance vehicles entered one after another.

A powerful flashlight illuminated the scene inside the room, where the floor was covered in dust and cobwebs.

Once inside the house, the signal was significantly interfered with, and the voice-over came through again.

"Suppress spiritual energy fluctuations and enhance reception power!"

At the captain's command, several exorcists immediately threw out talismans that floated in the four corners of the house, and sat cross-legged on the ground with their eyes closed to begin the suppression ritual.

As the crackdown began, the footage from the reconnaissance vehicle stabilized once again.

As they proceeded in a triangular pattern, the scene inside the house gradually came into view.

Suddenly, the reconnaissance vehicle on the far right stopped and reached out its claws to pick up something from the ground.

As the object approached, a blood-soaked finger appeared on the screen.

After confirming that the object was the deceased's remains, the reconnaissance vehicle immediately placed it in a corner where it would not obstruct the passage.

As for the collection of remains, only those who have successfully suppressed the rebellion are qualified to do so.

As they continued, the team discovered that the old house, which appeared to be only about 100 square meters in the real world, became significantly larger once they entered it.

The terrain recorder showed that the room's interior area was 300 square meters.

"This is troublesome..."

As someone spoke, the reconnaissance vehicle continued to advance, emitting a whirring sound. Suddenly, a figure kneeling on the ground with its back to the camera appeared in the reconnaissance vehicle's view.

The sound of a robotic arm unfolding came from the reconnaissance vehicle on the left, followed by a loud bang!

A bullet carrying a lot of spiritual light accurately hit the back of the figure in front, followed by an inhuman roar.

The kneeling figure in front suddenly turned around. Its eyes were pitch black, its skin was grayish-white, and its mouth was filled with darkness. The ghoul crawled on the ground like a spider and charged towards the reconnaissance vehicle.
