Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

Makoto Araki continued to monitor Kikuko Yamamura. He found that he couldn't quite understand the girl; she had only taken Inspector Ishiguro to the cemetery and hadn't killed him immediately.

Then, she touched her flat stomach and went into another restaurant, using her charm magic to get another free meal.

After eating and drinking her fill, Kikuko Yamamura seemed a little tired, so she casually found a park to lie down, seemingly intending to sleep on a park bench, as if she had already forgotten about the unfortunate guy in the cemetery.

Seeing this comical scene, Makoto Araki couldn't help but ask, "Do you urban legends also get tired and need a nap?"

However, upon closer reflection, Kikuko Yamamura is indeed different from ordinary ghosts. She is "flesh and blood," which presents some constraints. But the advantage is that she is no longer afraid of sunlight like ordinary ghosts.

Now that Kikuko Yamamura has started her afternoon nap, what is Suzune Shimizu doing? Makoto Araki shifted his view to the shrine maiden's bedroom.

Unexpectedly, the shrine maiden had already changed into her pajamas and was preparing to take a nap.

Makoto Araki looked out the window. His window was always drawn with the curtains drawn, so he never saw the sunrise or sunset all day and had no concept of time.

He turned his head and saw that Ji Damo was still waiting, but this time he planned to take a nap himself and let Ji Damo train in his place.

Exercise while you sleep!

Isn't that wonderful!

good afternoon.

Time flies.

Before he knew it, it was 7 p.m., and Makoto Araki woke up feeling hungry and tired from exercising.

The first thing Araki Makoto does upon waking up is, of course, to check on the two girls and see what's going on. Just like reaching for his phone immediately, it's become a daily routine for him.

Kikuko Yamamura stopped attacking the passersby. She seemed to have arrived at a festival site and was sitting by the river, watching the fireworks gradually rise. It was unclear what she was thinking at that moment.

As for Shimizu Suzune, she has already met with Noguchi Akihiko at the shrine's office, but they seem a little confused, perhaps because they haven't decided on a location for the ghost hunt yet.

Moreover, this shrine maiden kept refreshing her phone and Araki Makoto's account, seemingly wanting him to provide information.

If that's the case, then it's indeed time for Makoto Araki to post something, to provide a definitive location for this urban legend about the shrine maiden, and it's also time to release the new urban legend, the Flying Demon.

Meanwhile, Makoto Araki is also preparing to decide whether to bestow upon Suzune Shimizu a brand new item, the Gold Foil Coin, depending on her performance!

Come on, Flying Demon!!

Chapter 19 Time is of the essence

That evening, inside the office, Shimizu Suzune and Noguchi Akihiko sat around a round table, both surfing the "House of Urban Legends," trying to find the best destination for ghost hunting.

During this time, Shimizu Suzune and Noguchi Akihiko came across several well-written posts, but Shimizu Suzune rejected them all in the end.

Prior to this, this urban legend forum was essentially a collection of "urban legends" created by enthusiasts themselves, with the aim of creating a self-contained space for them to enjoy.

Most of these posts are purely for self-entertainment, fabricated entirely based on the author's imagination. Because they are so fake, they don't seem scary at all.

A small number of posts are fabricated based on recent current events or unresolved cases, which enthusiasts find more relatable and these posts are very popular.

Besides the two main categories mentioned above, there are also users like "Boring World 777" who recount their ghost encounters from a so-called first-person perspective.

There weren't many posts like this, and they didn't get much attention, but after "BoringWorld777" posted two "personal experience" posts, they suddenly became popular.

But for Shimizu Suzune, whether the post goes viral or not is irrelevant; what she needs is a real and reliable location.

To increase the margin for error and ensure that she doesn't make a wasted trip, Shimizu Suzune is currently only willing to believe the posts made by "Boring World 777", because he posted the first scenario "Haunted House" and the second "Amusement Park Horror".

As for the other urban legends, the McDonald's restaurant incident and the alleyway incident, both of which had too many eyewitnesses, Shimizu Suzune found it hard to believe the authenticity of their new post.

Shimizu Rinne was still refreshing the page. During this time, she opened the private chat again, really wanting to ask this guy why he wasn't replying to her, but the young lady's pride made her give up.

If someone doesn't reply, it means they have their own reasons for not replying. The fact that this person registered an account that doesn't reply to posts or private messages is enough to show that they are worried about being discovered.

At this point, Shimizu Suzune has a bold guess: this person may know the inside story, such as he may have a constitution that attracts urban legends, but he doesn't want to reveal the truth because he is afraid of being captured and dissected!

Shimizu Suzune suddenly understood! No wonder this person was being so mysterious, posting online to lure her in!

However, if he doesn't post any new "personal experiences" today, he'll just have to find a popular post to share.

Just when Shimizu Suzune was feeling at a loss, she suddenly came across a new post from that user.

The title was "Midnight Train," and the posting time was 7:23 PM. The poster was "Boring World 777."

coming!

After confirming the user who posted the message, Shimizu Suzune seemed to have seen the truth and immediately clicked on it.

Post content:

I advise you not to take the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line train late at night. Last night at Asakusa Station, a woman asked me for directions. After I answered her, I felt weak and almost couldn't breathe. Luckily, a passing shrine maiden saved me...

This post has attracted attention not only from Shimizu Suzune, but also from many other netizens.

However, compared to Shimizu Suzune, the others didn't trust him as much. They questioned his content, and their aggression seemed to be a little bit stronger.

[You're making this up without even showing any pictures?]

[No, buddy, I'm actually in this subway right now!]

[Not replying, playing mysterious?]

[The wording is vague. I suspect this copy was written using a language model, but I have no proof.]

[A female ghost? Even more excited!]

Stop pretending!

[Beware of lawyer's letters from the subway authorities!]

Hurry up and delete it, bro, before that witch sees it again.

The above are just some of the comments, but Shimizu Suzune couldn't stand it anymore.

Isn't this a paradise for urban legend enthusiasts? Fictional stories are commonplace here, right? How could these people harbor such malice?

Was it because her ghost-hunting livestream scared some people? If that's the case, then it proves she did the right thing.

This is the location we'll choose!

Tokyo Metro!!

Shimizu Suzune is about to be released!

She showed her phone screen to Akihiko Noguchi, who said it didn't matter and she could choose whatever she wanted.

"Let's get going without delay."

Shimizu Suzune immediately stood up, and Noguchi Akihiko followed closely behind. The two of them carried their bags and packages into their respective cars.

This time, besides the necessary beans, Shimizu Rinne also brought all the necessary live streaming equipment, including a selfie stick, action camera, and fill light.

The previous set of equipment had been seized at the Nerima Ward Police Station, and this new set of equipment was something she bought on a whim in Akihabara after browsing posts after waking up from her nap this afternoon.

As for Akihiko Noguchi, he brought a lot of things, including live streaming equipment and some "evil-repelling props." Although these props might not be useful, they at least gave him courage.

In addition, he brought a baseball bat, a police baton, and a high-powered flashlight for self-defense, just like last time, because he found that even ghosts seem to be a little afraid of physical attacks, as evidenced by the shooting last time.

As for his pistol...

It was obtained through illegitimate means and was considered illegal possession of a firearm. It was left behind in the old house after the battle with the ghost, and was later found and confiscated by the police at the scene.

Suzune Shimizu and Akihiko Noguchi each drove away from the shrine, and then went together to Asakusa Station on the Tokyo Metro.

Asakusa Station is located in Taito Ward, Tokyo, not far from Yomiyama Shrine in Nakano Ward, just a ten-minute drive away.

Shimizu Suzune drove into a nearby parking lot and finally managed to park her Porsche 911 after a long time. Then Noguchi Akihiko drove in his Toyota SUV and squeezed into the extremely narrow, multi-level parking space in one go!

After getting off the bus, the two carried their bags and headed to the subway station entrance.

Throughout the journey, Shimizu Suzune didn't speak to him, but instead focused on adjusting the live streaming equipment.

Noguchi Akihiko really didn't want to talk. He felt somewhat depressed and didn't even know why he had come to this place.

What, you're saying he was searching for the truth behind his colleague's murder? That's nonsense.

The truth has long been out.

But nobody believed him!

Even if we look at the whole world, probably only this Shimizu Suzune Shrine Maiden believes in him, because both of them have the same belief: that there are ghosts in this world!

So, Akihiko Noguchi always felt he had to do something with her, and that's how he ended up live-streaming ghost hunting with her without really understanding what was going on!

and many more……

Noguchi Akihiko followed the shrine maiden toward the subway station, but before he had taken more than a few steps, the temperature around him suddenly dropped!

There really are ghosts in the subway...

Chapter 20 Live Streaming is Important

It's 8 PM!

Asakusa Station!

The subway station is currently in the middle of the evening rush hour. A large group of office workers in suits are crammed into the carriages, swaying numbly as the train moves forward.

Subway entrance.

Shimizu Suzune used her monthly pass, passed through the subway turnstiles, and went to a quiet spot to start her live stream!

The title of this live stream is "Lingyin-chan will show you how to exorcise ghosts with beans," which is concise and to the point: she wants to demonstrate her true skills through the live stream!

[Good evening, Lingyin-chan! Are you taking us ghost hunting again tonight?]

[SC Red Comment: I'm just sending a gift, I won't watch it. My courage has already been left in the old house. Goodbye everyone.]

[That's enough. This streamer is a stand-in for the ghost. The real streamer was already killed in the old mansion.]

[Where's the girl? Why is there only a guy following you?]

[A man? An old man!]

[If you don't understand, just ask: Is that guy who looks stupid her dad or her boss?]

[Look how badly his body is shaking. Is it very cold there?]

[Guys, I'm at Asakusa subway station right now, ready to solo kill that streamer.]

Ugh, I knew the streamer would come to this awful place tonight...
