Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Noguchi Akihiko said with a wry smile, "How could that be false? Six people set out to rescue you, and only one came back."

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Rinne felt a pang of guilt and bowed her head, saying, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble..."

Noguchi Akihiko shook his head and said, "What's done is done, there's no point in saying anything more."

Shimizu Suzune raised her head, tossed her long black hair, and stared into Noguchi Akihiko's eyes, asking, "Alright... you came all this way to find me, so you must have a plan in mind?"

After thinking for a while, Akihiko Noguchi shook his head and said, "No, I came to see what your plans are."

Facing the priest, Shimizu Suzune tentatively suggested, "Shall we go spirit hunting together?"

If you want a partner for spirit hunting, then this priest who once escaped from the clutches of ghosts is the perfect choice.

In contrast, my best friend seemed too cowardly when faced with life-or-death situations, and I felt she was unlikely to achieve anything great.

As for why Shimizu Suzune is so enthusiastic about live-streaming ghost hunting, besides her stubbornness, it's because she was fortunate enough to find exorcising beans in the old house last time.

Searching for spirits and then finding beans looks just like playing a video game, where you get rewards just for exploring!

Shimizu Suzune stared into Noguchi Akihiko's eyes, waiting for his answer, which he gave an affirmative reply: "No problem."

Akihiko Noguchi is married and is over forty years old; Suzune Shimizu is old enough to be his daughter. Their livestreaming pairing might create a unique contrast.

Upon hearing this, Shimizu Rinne was naturally overjoyed. She quickly said in a cheerful tone, "Then add me as a friend. Just send me a private message on TT Live. I'll tell you the precautions later, and then we can arrange a time to do a live ghost hunt together!"

The two then parted ways.

After parting ways, Shimizu Suzune returned to her post at the organization's office and, through checking surveillance footage and facial recognition, investigated the background of the priest from earlier.

It's confirmed, he is indeed him.

He began working at Sakuraba Shrine at the age of twenty-five, serving as a priest for twenty years and eventually rising to the position of vice-chief priest.

Shimizu Rin moved the mouse, closed the information query window, and then opened and logged into several urban legend forums to see where to go ghost hunting tonight.

She first checked her following list, specifically the post from the user with the ID "Boring World 777", and found that he still hadn't posted any new urban legend posts, nor had he replied to Shimizu Suzune's greeting.

Who is this person?

Why all this secrecy?

If he hadn't provided the scenes of the urban legend twice, and one of them was a place that Shimizu Suzune had actually witnessed, she wouldn't have cared so much about this guy!

Shimizu Suzune was a little angry. She opened this person's profile, wanting to see his posting history and check his "background".

However, nothing can be found. This person has hidden their posting history, and their homepage is completely blank. Apart from knowing the website ID, nothing else is known. We don't know where they live, their age, or even whether they are male or female.

As for the profile picture, this person is using a blank image with no information whatsoever.

Who is this person? They're so mysterious!

Shimizu Suzune was still angry, but what she didn't know was that a spider was watching her from behind.

On the other side of the spider's vision, Makoto Araki naturally saw the whole thing, from the shrine maiden frequently opening chat windows, to her checking his composition on the computer, and her exasperated look when the composition check failed.

...So cute!

However, Shimizu Suzune's actions also served as a wake-up call for Araki Makoto. The more he talks online, the easier it is for people to investigate his background, and he may even be "exposed".

Moreover, even if you talk less, it doesn't mean you're safe. Makoto Araki has no doubt that the police can track you down through the internet.

However, if he doesn't speak out online, Makoto Araki's goal won't be achieved. He wants people to know that urban legends are everywhere, to make people fear certain places, and thus to harvest the fear in their hearts!

What should be the next name he coined, such as "Haunted House" and "Amusement Park Horror"?

Chapter 16 Death, Death

From the perspective of the Resurrection Incense, Kikuko Yamamura seems to be a little tired. She is no longer scaring people, but is sitting quietly in the McDonald's restaurant, eating a hamburger and drinking cola.

No, where did you get your money?

That makes sense, though. You, Yamamura Kikuko, are a high-class urban legend. You have so many ways to seduce people. It would be truly unbelievable if she had to pay for food!

As Makoto Yamamura enjoyed her McDonald's meal, Makoto Araki's stomach began to rumble.

Speaking of which, since last night, Makoto Araki has been switching perspectives to watch Suzune Shimizu and Kikuko Yamamura. His eyes were getting dry and he was getting hungry. Considering that it was already midday, he wondered if he should eat something and then take a nap.

Araki Makoto turned his head and instructed Hime Daruma, "Go out and find any restaurant to get me lunch!"

Upon receiving the order, Ji Damo skipped and hopped out of the window and disappeared.

Makoto Araki sat down on the ground, raising his head slightly. He planned to monitor both Suzune Shimizu and Kikuko Yamamura at the same time.

In the scene, Shimizu Suzune is walking towards the cafeteria, seemingly going to get her food.

Indeed, Shimizu Suzune packed her lunch and even brought out a small dried fish from the cafeteria, which she then tossed to a stray cat at the shrine.

Shimizu Rinne squatted down, stroked the little tabby cat's head, and whispered something to it.

...How kind of you!

Looking at the little tabby cat, a wicked thought suddenly flashed through Makoto Araki's mind: Is there a tool that can turn this cat into an urban legend as well?

But the thought quickly disappeared. He thought about it and decided against it, because the Yomiyama Shrine had already been haunted once, and if another haunting occurred, it would be difficult to handle.

While Araki Makoto was still considering, a strange red object suddenly entered the field of vision of the Resurrection Incense.

No, to be more precise, a red Daruma doll that looked exactly like a Hime Daruma entered Kikuko's field of vision.

Upon seeing Hime Daruma, Kikuko Yamamura's first reaction was, of course, surprise.

"...Who are you?" she asked almost reflexively, voicing the question that had been bothering her.

Kikuko Yamamura had thought that she was probably the only ghost in the world, but she never expected that there were others.

That's right, there is a very mysterious power flowing within this Jidamo!

However, instead of answering Kikuko Yamamura's question, Himedama jumped onto the table, opened its blood-red mouth, and swept away all the fries on the plate!

While Kikuko Yamamura was still in surprise, Daruma somehow "stretched out" a hand, snatched the double cheeseburger from Kikuko Yamamura's hand, and ate it in one bite!

Then, before Kikuko Yamamura could react, the Daruma drank the rest of her half-finished cola.

Enough is enough! There's no need to endure it any longer!

Kikuko Yamamura suddenly stood up, slamming her small fists on the table, and roared at Daruma, "You bastard!"

Boom!

The table, subjected to the girl's violent hammering, could no longer withstand the pressure and collapsed entirely, raising a cloud of dust.

In an instant, everyone in the restaurant, including the waiters, turned to look. Although they didn't know what had happened, they just watched the spectacle.

"do you died?"

Kikuko Yamamura raised her hand and found that there was no trace of Hijikata's corpse on her hand, nor on the overturned table.

The little daruma doll escaped before it was hit; it jumped to the corner of the shop window and prepared to run away along the edge.

However, Kikuko Yamamura was a person who always sought revenge, so of course she wouldn't just watch Daruma escape. She grabbed the fallen table and smashed it against Daruma.

Ji Damo was very agile. He jumped away before being hit by the table, smashing the empty table and shattering the McDonald's window glass.

With a crashing sound, the huge shop window glass, like an avalanche, swept over everyone!

Everyone gasped in surprise!

But no one at the scene had time to react!

For example, a young couple dining by the window were unable to dodge in time and were hit directly by broken glass. They fell off their chairs and lay in a pool of blood.

Kikuko Yamamura was also hit, but she seemed to be fine; the broken glass bounced off.

Kikuko Yamamura grabbed a stool that had fallen to the ground and continued her relentless pursuit of Hijiri Daruma, roaring, "Die! Die! Die! Die!"

Kikuko Yamamura was incredibly fast, like a ghost in a movie. In less than a second, she changed positions several times and launched several attacks on Hidaruma.

Jidamo was no pushover either. Taking advantage of its size, it darted around in every nook and cranny of the restaurant, even jumping into the kitchen.

The resentment of having food stolen by others is terrifying, and for Kikuko Yamamura, who was already blinded by hatred, it was even worse. She picked up a stool that had been smashed and was deformed and chased after the thief into the depths of the kitchen.

The kitchen was in complete chaos. Employees who couldn't escape in time fled through the back door, while those who couldn't escape had to take refuge in the cold storage.

Ji Damo jumped around, sometimes above the fryer, sometimes on the production line, seemingly trying to lure and kill his opponent.

However, Himedama miscalculated. Yamamura Kikuko was not afraid of any of this. She overturned the fryer with her bare hands, and the hot oil gushed out, threatening Himedama who was bouncing on the ground.

Seeing that the high temperature could no longer threaten Kikuko Yamamura's life, Hidama could only increase his jumping speed, once again using his smaller size to overcome the obstacles, then create "roadblocks" to leave through the back door.

When Kikuko Yamamura cleared away these "roadblocks" and rushed out from behind, Hidama had already vanished without a trace.

And this whole spectacle unfolding in McDonald's was, of course, witnessed by Makoto Araki.

To be honest, he didn't expect that Ji Damo would steal Yamamura Kikuko's food, and he also didn't expect that the long-lost McDonald's would taste so good!

Ever since he transmigrated here, he hasn't had a single bite of cola, burger, or fries in a very, very long time.

The food just now made him feel strange. Taking someone else's food is like eating their saliva.

Whatever, it doesn't matter. Why be picky about a free lunch!

More than worrying about food safety, Makoto Araki was concerned that either Daruma or Kikuko Yamamura might get injured in the battle, which was something he didn't want to see.

Needless to say, if Ji Damo is damaged, thousands of Wei will be wasted!

Kikuko Yamamura too, you're a money-losing girl who hasn't even made back her investment yet, Makoto Araki definitely won't allow her to die like this.

Chapter 17 Death on the Spot

Kikuko Yamamura and Daruma's chaotic antics at McDonald's naturally caused panic among the crowd, and the small-scale panic resulted in over a dozen system accounts being charged.

Having escaped the clutches of evil, Hidama quickly traversed the streets of Tokyo, weaving through the crowds, and soon returned home to Makoto Araki's side, ready to serve him at any time.

Araki Makoto ignored it and continued to stare at Yamamura Kikuko's third-person perspective to see what other tricks this girl could come up with.

She left McDonald's and walked along an unnamed commercial street, touching her shrunken belly with both hands, seemingly considering where to eat next.

In the distance, police sirens sounded.

However, Kikuko Yamamura was completely unaware of the approaching threat and continued walking as if nothing had happened.

The sound of sirens drew closer.

One of the police cars was driven by Officer Ishiguro. He had just received a report that the manager of a nearby McDonald's claimed that his store had been vandalized and that there were injuries and fatalities, and requested that the police be dispatched immediately!
