Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

The three walked straight over.

Upon closer inspection, they had their hands in their pockets, cigarettes dangling from their mouths, and dragon and tiger tattoos on their bodies.

Upon seeing these people, Kikuko Yamamura quickly remembered that her ex-boyfriend dressed in the same way.

Before her death, Kikuko Yamamura was a naive young girl who had no resistance to this kind of unconventional man and even thought he was handsome and the man of her dreams.

Even after her death, Kikuko Yamamura still looked like a young girl, but her heart was no longer that of a naive person.

“Thugs, they all have to die…” Kikuko Yamamura said through gritted teeth, her hands unconsciously clenching into fists, almost bursting.

She already disliked thugs, but those guys who came over were oblivious to her own mortality and whistled.

The one leading the group had the darkest dyed blond hair and a blue dragon tattoo. He immediately blew a puff of smoke at the girl and teased, "Little girl, why are you walking alone in the alley? Are you lost?"

He added, "Isn't this a coincidence? The brothers are kind and helpful people. Do you want us to give you a ride?"

To his left was a boy with dyed red hair and a white tiger tattoo, who kindly remarked, "Speaking of which, is this child perhaps mentally challenged? Look at her, wearing tattered clothes and not even washing her face. Is she a homeless woman...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the boy standing to the right of the eldest brother, with a Vermilion Bird tattoo and blue-dyed hair, chimed in teasingly, "The homeless girl will be even more excited, at least you won't have to take responsibility for what you did to her, waaaaah—"

Before the thug could finish speaking, he was interrupted and screamed in pain, clutching his arm.

The other two looked and realized that it was this somewhat disheveled girl who had twisted the guy's hand so badly that it was as light as a noodle with just one hand!

These people had never seen anything like this before. They were completely stunned and couldn't utter a single word.

Chapter 14 Win-Win Situation

Kikuko Yamamura's face quickly contorted into a ferocious expression. She twisted the blue-haired man's arm even harder and sneered at him, "What's your name?"

The thugs all hung out together, and Kikuko Yamamura's actions were naturally intended to connect these people's names with her ex-boyfriend or some of his friends.

Despite being tortured to the extreme, the boy did not faint. After struggling for a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: "Yamamoto, Yamamoto Taichi!"

As soon as he said that, Kikuko Yamamura seemed to have met some condition, and immediately let go of Yamamoto's hand and pushed him to the ground.

Then, I looked up.

Of the remaining two, the blond-haired one was so terrified that he wet himself and crawled slowly on the ground with trembling hands and feet.

There was also a red-haired man who leaned tightly against the wall, unable to speak or make any movement, simply awaiting his death sentence.

When Kikuko Yamamura looked up and their eyes met, he finally stammered out a few words: "I...I'll talk! Kurosaki Kinya! Don't kill me!"

"And who else?"

Kikuko Yamamura pointed at the blond thug who was about to escape the alley, and the red-haired man tactfully answered for her: "That blond guy's name is Tetsuya Shiroma!"

These people are showing a strong will to survive.

However, Kikuko Yamamura did not intend to let them go back, because letting them go would definitely expose her existence, which might hinder her search for her ex-boyfriend.

They killed without hesitation!

The next second, the blood gushing out of the alley obscured Kikuko's eyes and also blocked the first-person perspective of the Resurrection Incense.

If the first-person perspective is unavailable, the only option is to switch to the third-person perspective. In the third-person perspective, Makoto Araki finally sees the case clearly.

After getting the names of the three thugs out of her, this mountain village girl, Kikuko, simply ripped their heads off. Blood gushed from their corpses, staining the entire alley red.

The thug was beaten into fear, Kikuko Yamamura gained happiness, and Makoto Araki gained fear—it was a win-win situation.

So who really lost?

By now, Kikuko Yamamura has provided 100 units of "fear", and this has only taken half a day.

At this rate, it would take Makoto Araki a full 100 days to recoup his costs.

It's still too slow.

Where is Shimizu Suzune?

Why don't you come and stream Kikuko Yamamura?

Makoto Araki moves the camera to control the little spider to go to the shrine to monitor Suzune Shimizu, only to find her comfortably playing on the computer.

Zooming in, you can see she's browsing an urban legend forum that Makoto Araki frequents; the layout is clearly visible on her computer screen.

She did remind Araki Makoto that he should go online and write an article about Yamamura Kikuko to seduce the shrine maiden!

However, when he actually started typing, another problem arose: Kikuko Yamamura wasn't stationary; she was always moving around!

There's nothing we can do about it. Otherwise, by the time Shimizu Rinne arrives, Yamamura Kikuko will have already disappeared.

Makoto Araki can't keep posting updates online about Kikuko Yamamura's whereabouts forever, can he? Besides, the more he posts online, the easier it is for him to expose himself.

Although Makoto Araki now possesses the Imperial Daruma, which theoretically can defend against both humans and demons, he prefers to avoid trouble and doesn't want to be taken to the police station.

From the spider's perspective, Shimizu Suzune is indeed browsing recent urban legends to select material for her next live stream.

She discovered that there were an unusually large number of urban legends in Nerima Ward. Not long ago, there was a "haunted house" story, and now there's a new one called "amusement park horror." Moreover, both posts were made by the same person.

This person's ID is "Boring World 777". They are a new user who registered more than two months ago. This person never replies to posts and has only posted a few posts in total.

The problem is that every single post this person makes is something that Shimizu Suzune finds fascinating.

This is mainly because the posts this person makes are more authentic, unlike the posts written by others that seem fabricated.

The post titled "Amusement Park Horror" was posted an hour ago, and it already has dozens of replies.

Almost all netizens spoke up for the poster, confirming the authenticity of the case.

The problem is, why is this person's story so realistic? Every detail is so perfectly accurate? Were they actually there?

Some netizens followed up with questions, but this person didn't seem to intend to answer any of them, even though they were currently online!

Who exactly is this person?

Shimizu Rinne had a vague feeling that this person must know some inside information, otherwise he wouldn't have posted two true urban legends in a row.

Shimizu Suzune tried using the ID "Suzune_Official" to send this person a greeting message.

The content is—

Hello, could I ask you for more details about 'The Amusement Park Horror'?

The result is that the message is read but not replied to.

Since the other party wasn't replying, Shimizu Suzune had no other choice but to decide to investigate in person herself!

Unfortunately, her live-streaming equipment is currently being used as evidence in the case, making live-streaming inconvenient now.

Is live streaming only possible via mobile phone now?

But now there's another problem. Shimizu Suzune just glanced at the comments and found that someone said the amusement park is closed and unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering.

This means that at least the police or the shrine have intervened in the case, and may have even set up a cordon.

Using conventional methods, we definitely won't be able to get into the park. Let's try again tonight!

Just when she was feeling at her wit's end, a call came in from an unknown number.

When Shimizu Rin answered the phone, she hesitated to say the first thing, waiting for the other person to speak first.

The other person said, "Hello, are you Lingyin-chan, the very popular ghost-hunting streamer on TT Live?"

Shimizu Suzune neither confirmed nor denied, but instead lowered her voice, trying to make it as neutral as possible, and cautiously asked, "Who are you?"

The other person readily replied, "I am a priest at Sakuraba Shrine. My name is Noguchi Akihiko. You can call me Priest Noguchi. Would it be convenient for us to meet?"

Shimizu Suzune still didn't give a definite answer and continued to question, "Before answering that question, I want to ask you, how did you get my contact information?"

After a moment's hesitation, the other party answered her question over the phone: "Well, it was obtained through some less-than-honorable means, I hope you don't mind."

Shimizu Suzune frowned, remaining vigilant, and asked in a low voice, "Why do you want to see me?"

The other person lowered their voice and said, "Last night, after you left, Ghost killed five of my colleagues."

Shimizu Suzune glanced around cautiously and asked softly, "Where are you now?"

The other party said, "I'm already at your shrine, in this office. I'm waiting for you here."

Chapter 15 Who is this amazing person?

Yamiyama Shrine.

Office of the organization.

The so-called "shrine office" is officially called "shrine affairs office".

As the name suggests, the shrine office is a place for handling shrine affairs. It is the daily office of priests and shrine maidens, and a place to store various classical festival records and genealogical charts of past shrine officials. It is an office space with multiple functions.

Since it deals with shrine affairs, the shrine office naturally has an area for receiving customers. Noguchi Akihiko is currently drinking tea in this area, waiting for someone to come and meet him.

That's right, he's the priest who gathered his colleagues last night to rescue the news anchor girl, but his colleagues were all killed by the ghosts, and he escaped alone to report the incident at the Nerima Ward Police Station, where he was arrested by Officer Ishiguro.

He has now been released on bail.

The reason was that the priest had been vouched for by the Sakuraba Shrine, and since the victims were all members of the shrine, and since even they themselves didn't investigate further, the police had no choice but to release him, but required him to be available for summons at any time.

Upon returning, Akihiko Noguchi reported the matter to his chief priest, only to be told to find the truth within a limited time.

But the truth is simply that ghosts exist in the world, and those ghosts killed his colleagues. It's that simple. Why should he need to find the truth?

Left with no other choice, Akihiko Noguchi had to look for clues from the source, such as finding the two girls who did the live stream last night.

Noguchi Akihiko picked up his teacup, and at that moment, a thought flashed through his mind, and he looked towards the door.

The automatic door of the office opened, and Shimizu Suzune walked in, immediately spotting Noguchi Akihiko sitting in the reception area.

As the daughter of the shrine's owner, Shimizu Suzune naturally knew all the priests and shrine maidens in the shrine, while Noguchi Akihiko was clearly a stranger.

Shimizu Suzune went inside, came to Noguchi Akihiko's side, moved a chair over, and sat down opposite the middle-aged priest.

Noguchi Akihiko looked at the shrine maiden and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Are you the ghost-hunting announcer Suzune-chan?"

Shimizu Suzune smoothed her hair and said impatiently, "Just say what you want to say, I'm very busy."

Noguchi Akihiko carefully examined the shrine maiden and found that she had a rather elegant demeanor and a sunny disposition, which was quite out of place in today's hostile society.

However, Akihiko Noguchi decided to get straight to the point: "Are you busy with your ghost-hunting livestream?"

Shimizu Suzune stared at Noguchi Akihiko's face for a few seconds, then asked in a questioning tone, "Did you really encounter a ghost last night?"
