I'm just an internet cafe owner

"Wow, that was so cool! What was that sound just now?"

"This one?"

Yotsuya Miko shook her phone and simultaneously activated the gunshot simulation app, which simulated the sound of a pistol.

The bang-bang-bang sounds were different from the sounds of Miko Yotsuya's gun, but ordinary people could not tell the difference.

Just then, Miko Yotsuya's stomach rumbled.

"Hehe~ Jianzi, you must be hungry. Let's go eat."

"Ok!"

They went to the cafeteria together. Yotsuya Miko was eating a lot today. Yurikawa Hana ate four bowls of rice, and Yotsuya Miko ate three bowls, plus a bag of bread and a bottle of drink.

This way of eating made her already meager finances even worse.

"Waaah, money..."

Yotsuya Miko looked at her now-empty wallet and felt terrible. Now, forget about replenishing her wallet, she didn't even have money left for shopping on her day off.

She decided to bring forward the exorcism, but she had no idea how to take orders or how to promote herself.

So Yotsuya Miko chose a forum related to the paranormal and posted an advertisement for taking orders.

Professional exorcism, 100,000 per session, payment upon completion, or your money back if it fails.

"Isn't this price too high? If we don't charge more at the beginning, we won't have enough money at all..."

Yotsuya Miko felt that the price was too expensive. 100,000 yen was an astronomical figure for a student like her. Also, would anyone really believe her?

At the same time, Gojo Satoru, who witnessed this scene, almost spat out the water he was drinking.

Chapter 180 Trolls and Ghosts

Gojo Satoru had been observing Yotsuya Miko until he saw the exorcism message she sent, and he was completely taken aback.

Exorcism is generally about fate; you just need to exorcise an innocent person who is in trouble.

Of course, there will be times when money is tight, and it's understandable to accept orders in such cases. But even the lowest level of exorcism starts at 500,000, and this young girl only wants 100,000?

"Interesting, interesting!"

Gojo Satoru casually took out his phone and contacted Yotsuya Miko through the forum.

He was curious about Yotsuya Miko's limits. So he recommended a special-grade cursed spirit mission to her. The cursed spirit was very powerful, but it could ensure Yotsuya Miko's safety.

On her way home from school, Yotsuya Miko received a message.

"There's something dirty here, and they want me to go check it out. Okay!"

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath. To be honest, she was still scared at the sight of these things, and she wasn't sure how strong these monsters were. But as the saying goes, fortune favors the bold, she decided to go and check it out first, and if they were too strong, she would just run away.

"Okay! That's it."

Yotsuya Miko had made up her mind. Following the address agreed upon on the forum, she rushed over as soon as she got out of school.

This is an abandoned construction site. Recently, some filth has appeared in this area, and some workers have died inexplicably.

Anyone in this line of work knows that the world is haunted and needs to be cleansed. Through a friend's introduction, he found an 'exorcist'. But he never expected this exorcist to be so young? A priestess or some other priestess would be fine, but this was a high school girl?

"you are?"

"My name is Yotsuya Miko. I came over after school after seeing that you needed help. Is this the right place?"

The man in the suit took a deep breath: "Yes, five people have already died here."

"Is it really because of something dirty, and not something else?"

Yotsuya Miko knew more or less about construction sites, and many construction sites were known for substandard work, which ultimately led to regrettable injuries and deaths.

Unfortunately, the person in charge of this construction site is not like that.

“Our workers all follow the rules strictly, and the deaths were very strange. They were all found in corners with inexplicable wounds on their bodies, and their deaths were very gruesome.”

"Okay, I'll go in and check."

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath, preparing to enter the construction site to inspect it.

From the outside, she seemed fine, but the moment she stepped into the construction site, her hair stood on end.

The construction site is currently building a five-story building. On the fifth floor, Yotsuya Miko saw a guy actually waving at her.

"what is this?"

This was the most terrifying creature she had ever seen. She felt she was no match for it and was about to leave when, in the eyes of the site supervisor, her body suddenly vanished the moment she entered the site.

"Truly a master!"

The person in charge felt he had found the right person; according to his friend, the person he recommended was very reliable, although the fee might be a bit high. But what did it matter how high it was? The compensation for the dead person far exceeded the fee he was owed.

If it's useful, he can afford anything, even 100 million yen, let alone 10 million yen. That's right, the person who helped him find someone this time asked for a fixed price of 10 million yen, but for him, if it solves the problem, paying that amount is no problem.

However, Yotsuya Miko was unaware that her money was ten million yen; she still thought it was a commission of one hundred thousand yen. She walked into the construction site, and the moment she entered the gate, she felt a chill.

What did she see? A vengeful spirit over two meters tall, humanoid in shape, predominantly white with black stripes? No, this was even more terrifying than a vengeful spirit. A vengeful spirit would confirm whether you saw it or not, but this thing actually made a move, pulling her into a pitch-black realm.

Its domain is not strong; it can continuously weaken everyone within its range, as well as their Zhou power and Zhou spell power, and render spells and Yin-Yang techniques ineffective. However, for most beings slightly weaker than it, it is a nightmare.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no."

Tears were already welling up in her eyes. She just wanted to take on some simple exorcism jobs to earn some extra money. She was even prepared to run away if she encountered danger, after all, she had already mastered escape skills, and she felt that she was quite good at running away.

As a result, he was captured by the vengeful spirit before he could even run away.

She felt that I was doomed.

Just as the fear reached its peak, golden English letters suddenly appeared in the air.

"do not be afraid."

"I will stay by your side."

"Defeat him!"

Yotsuya Miko wiped away her tears: "Michael?"

After hesitating for a long time, the golden words appeared in front of her.

"I'm here."

"Take your weapon and defeat it."

Suddenly, a sprayer, six bullets, and a bottle of hand sanitizer appeared in the air.

The seemingly ordinary weapon instantly boosted Yotsuya Miko's confidence. In addition, she suddenly discovered that golden symbols identical to the characters had appeared on her body.

You can do it.

“Michael…”

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath and aimed her right hand at the special-grade cursed spirit. Golden power gathered on the cursed spirit.

At this moment, the cursed spirit was still searching aimlessly. This domain was a special barrier that could be created by a top-tier cursed spirit, a top-tier sorcerer, or an Onmyoji. This barrier had a guaranteed effect on anyone possessing curse power and spiritual power.

To avoid this effect, you either need to break free of the domain or enter a more powerful one.

Just as it was wondering what was going on, it suddenly felt a powerful force invade its body. The golden power eroded its body, not fatal, but it temporarily rendered it unable to move.

It takes about ten seconds to adjust before you can take another action.

But just as it was trying to recover, it suddenly found that the person it had brought in was standing in front of it with a spray bottle raised.

"boom!"

Shotgun bullets rained down on its body. Based on her gaming experience, she knew this ability was ineffective against some powerful monsters. Once it was successfully immobilized, she would need to use a weapon to finish it off.

However, reality is reality. The time limit for the monster is set at five seconds, and it will never be earlier. But the cursed spirit in front of us already possesses human-like thinking; when faced with danger, it will use its 'wisdom' to solve the problem.

It takes more than ten seconds to move your whole body, but only half or even a third of the time to move a part of your body.

Its torso was about to smash into Yotsuya Miko's body. Yotsuya Miko, who had no combat experience and didn't even know proper dodging techniques, took the hit squarely.

Miko Yotsuya was knocked away, and when she landed, she felt dizzy and couldn't even breathe.

"Use this quickly."

Hand sanitizer—she was all too familiar with it. In the game, she had used hand sanitizer to recover after being attacked by monsters. Almost instinctively, she removed the cap and poured the liquid onto her hands.

At that moment, her body recovered almost instantly, and her dizziness disappeared.

She knew this wasn't the time to be stunned, and raised her right hand again, golden power enveloping her.

It was placed on the cursed spirit.

The cursed spirit roared. It had only been born a short time, having just devoured the fear of a few humans, yet it could still grow stronger.

It has already learned from experience that if Yotsuya Miko approaches, it will kill her in the same way, and this time it will use even more power.

However, Yotsuya Miko did not step forward. She silently raised her right hand, and as she activated her power again, she drew her pistol.

She pulled out a pistol and went on a buying spree in the player shop, exchanging every last penny of her pocket money for pistol ammo. Twenty magazines of bullets—if that wasn't enough, she'd mortgage her lifespan to get an RPG.

Chapter 181 Supernatural Beings That Can Be Killed with a Gun

Yotsuya Miko knew her strengths: she could attack from a distance, while her opponent seemed unable to. And from a distance, it seemed the opponent couldn't see her?

It didn't matter anymore. Whether she could see it or not, she decided to play it safe, standing at a distance and constantly controlling the situation while continuously attacking with her pistol.

Outside the barrier, Gojo Satoru, who had been watching the situation inside, was completely stunned.

He had seen instances of using firearms and magical implements to destroy cursed spirits, but this method of destruction was unheard of and unseen. Furthermore, the power released was neither magic nor spiritual energy; rather, it was a power he had never seen before.

It was the pistol in her hand that made him even more wary. It was clearly a cursed tool, yet it seemed to possess sentience, even granting its user such immense power? And judging from its appearance, this pistol wasn't just a simple cursed tool, but rather something akin to a guardian spirit.

It's just that it's so powerful it's like a cursed artifact.

He also discovered that this trial seemed to have hit Yotsuya Miko's limit. She could control the cursed spirit, but not for an extended period. If her strength increased slightly, the control time would decrease, making it impossible for her to exorcise the cursed spirit alone.

If the opponent were even slightly weaker, so many instances of control would probably have annihilated them.

"That's interesting. I really want her to enroll."

The strength of her combat skills is completely irrelevant. She is still young, and he feels that there is still room for improvement in her strength. It is not impossible for her to surpass him in the future.

However, he only thought about enrolling in school. He clearly had the ability to see ghosts but no spiritual power or magical power. He was a magical artifact but not a magical artifact. He could even communicate with the user to replenish supplies and grant the user power.

Before this power matures, it is not suitable for contacting high-ranking sorcerers or Onmyoji. If these guys need these guys to maintain order, he really wants to kill all of them.
