Tokyo: I am the Lord of All Demons!

This means that if Shimizu Suzune can find more exorcism tools, then she will become a true shrine maiden with exorcism abilities.

The problem is that the leaders of Yomiyama Shrine do not accept her claims; instead, they cover up the facts and refuse to acknowledge the existence of real ghosts in the world.

With the number of ghosts and spirits increasing, the great responsibility of saving the world will likely fall on the shoulders of this young girl.

But that kind of place is really too eerie. Do we really want to go to that kind of place?

To avoid implicating others, Shimizu Suzune is determined not to take her best friend out this time.

Just then, Shimizu Suzune came across a post that read, "Six priests from Sakuraba Shrine have not returned home all night."

Clicking on the post revealed details about several priests heading to the old town area of ​​Nerima, their purpose, of course, to rescue the two spirit-hunting streamers who were in danger.

As a result, they lost contact with each other.

Upon seeing this, Shimizu Suzune's heart tightened suddenly. The two ghost-hunting streamers mentioned above—weren't they herself and her best friend? How could such a thing happen?

Neither she nor her best friend saw anyone approaching the area on their way there or back, nor did they hear any engine sounds.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have left like that; they would have at least used the exorcism beans in their hands to help in the fight.

But it's too late to say anything now; everything is beyond repair.

No, it's not necessarily over. The post didn't say that those people were definitely dead...

Should we go back and take a look?

Shimizu Suzune suddenly remembered that in her dream, several priestesses and shrine maidens had asked her for help, but they were all killed by ghosts...

Chapter 11 Invalid Evidence

The next day, early in the morning.

Shimizu Suzune got up early again and went out to buy breakfast as usual. On her way back to the dormitory, she took a detour to the shrine near the shrine's dining hall.

"...Is the cat not here?" Shimizu Suzune looked around and, after confirming that she didn't see the kitten, quietly took out a slice of toast and placed it in the spot where the kitten usually stayed.

Only then did I return to my dormitory.

I had just returned to my dorm when someone called, and the screen showed an unfamiliar phone number.

Click to answer.

"Hello! This is Officer Ishiguro from the Nerima Ward Police Station. Are you the TT streamer 'Rinne_Official'?"

"Yes, is there anything I can help you with?"

"You came to train horses last night?"

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"A case has occurred here, and you may be one of the witnesses. We hope you can come over and give a statement."

"OK, I'll go in a bit."

"Okay, let's keep in touch."

hang up the phone.

Shimizu Suzune frowned and immediately messaged her best friend Fujita Misaki to ask if she had also received a call.

She said on the phone that she received the call an hour earlier and had already given a statement with her family by her side.

After hanging up the phone again, Shimizu Suzune first put on light makeup and changed into her shrine maiden uniform. Then she put her action camera and live-streaming phone into her bag and went out.

Shimizu Suzune also owns a car, a Porsche 911, which is parked in the internal parking lot of Yomiyama Shrine.

She walked straight to the parking lot, went to a pink sports car, unlocked it, and tossed her bag onto the passenger seat.

Perhaps she was a little anxious, because after getting into the car, Shimizu Suzune pressed "START" to start the car, slowly drove away from the parking space, and then stepped on the gas to drive out of the parking lot and out of the shrine's main gate.

After leaving the shrine, Shimizu Suzune drove at almost the speed limit, sped through the city onto the highway, and soon arrived in Nerima.

Nerima Ward, Nerima District Police Station.

With the roar of an engine growing louder as it drew closer, a pink Porsche 911 pulled up in front of the district police station.

At that moment, Inspector Ishiguro was at his post thinking about other things. When he heard the roar, his first thought was, "It's not even night yet, and there are already will-o'-the-wisps going off in the street."

Fuming, Inspector Ishiguro walked out of the police station, only to find that what had arrived was not some ghost train, but a sports car!

What puzzled him even more was that a dignified shrine maiden stepped out of the sports car!

Upon seeing the shrine maiden and then looking at the million-dollar sports car, Inspector Ishiguro's worldview nearly crumbled.

Seriously, are all livestreamers this rich these days? Driving a Porsche?

Even if you're a shrine maiden, which is like having two jobs, it's still impossible!

You look to be no more than twenty years old; it's impossible that you bought the sports car on your own.

That's for sure.

You are a second-generation rich kid.

She is the daughter of a wealthy tycoon.

Of course, there's another possibility: since you're live streaming, you might have been lucky enough to get in touch with a top spender.

And look at her bag...

Oh no, I can't remember the name!

It's definitely worth a lot!

She must be someone important!

Why work so hard for such a meager monthly salary? You absolutely cannot offend the chaebols; you have to be polite!

Prior to this, Inspector Ishiguro had already taken a statement from her companion, whose father was the chairman of a listed company with deep-rooted influence that she couldn't afford to offend.

And this chairman and his daughter were just seen driving luxury cars, one a Rolls-Royce and the other a Cayenne.

That's incredibly extravagant!

This is why, as soon as Inspector Ishiguro saw another Porsche arrive, he immediately made an inexplicable connection.

So Inspector Ishiguro stepped forward, a fawning smile on his face, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Hello, are you the announcer Suzune?"

“Yes, Shimizu Suzune.” Shimizu Suzune pointed to her face and said.

"Come in, let me take your statement. It won't take long." Officer Ishiguro, with a smile on his face, invited Shimizu Suzune into the room and asked her to sit down on a chair.

Then, he sat down opposite him.

Inspector Ishiguro retrieved a device resembling an action camera, slung it over his shoulder, and explained, "We record everything here. What you say could be used as evidence in court, and you have the right to remain silent."

Shimizu Suzune ignored him and instead glanced around, taking in everything in the police station.

To be honest, the Nerima Ward Police Station is quite dilapidated. Despite being a ward-level unit, it's like a local police station. First of all, there are only a few offices, and the number of police officers is also very limited.

Including Officer Ishiguro, there are only three or four officers in the entire police station. No wonder so many people called the police last night, but the police still didn't respond.

"Ahem, name?"

Inspector Ishiguro cleared his throat.

Shimizu Rin drew her attention back and answered the questioning statement truthfully. When Officer Ishiguro asked if she was present last night, she placed her bag on the table and took out an action camera and a live-streaming phone from it.

Shimizu Suzune explained, "This contains the recording of last night's live stream, all taken in one continuous shot."

However, Officer Ishiguro did not intend to open the machines and extract the video recordings on the spot, but instead put them into bags one by one.

He then looked up and said earnestly, "Let me state first that our police station does not handle cases involving the supernatural according to regulations. Therefore, if the live broadcast video you provided is contrary to common sense, it will be reasonably suspected that it was created using special effects and therefore cannot be used as evidence."

Rei Shimizu, having been rebuffed once again, gently tapped the table and said, "How could you do this?"

She had thought that the police's decision to summon her for questioning meant they would finally be able to expose the existence of ghosts, but in the end, she received the same response.

"Never mind." Shimizu Rin sighed helplessly, stood up, and left the police station under the watchful eye of Inspector Ishiguro.

From Spider's perspective, Shimizu Suzune took out her car keys, unlocked the vehicle, got in, and sped away from the Nerima Ward Police Station.

On the other side of Spider-Man's view, inside the district police station, a criminal suspect with a special identity is actually being held.

The man's name is Akihiko Noguchi, the vice priest of Sakuraba Shrine. He came to report the incident early this morning, claiming that he had encountered a ghost and that his colleagues had all been murdered.

At the time, Officer Ishiguro was on duty and was playing a game, so he didn't believe the priest at all.

However, since the person had crawled out of a pile of corpses and had bloodstains on him, and considering that human life was at stake, Inspector Ishiguro reluctantly called his colleagues to go to the so-called crime scene.

When they arrived at the crime scene, Inspector Ishiguro and his colleagues were utterly shocked; they had never seen such a horrific murder scene.

Chapter 12 Carousel

The problem is that, even though he was at the scene of the crime, Akihiko Noguchi insisted that he had personally witnessed the ghost massacre several people.

The bigger problem is that Inspector Ishiguro also found a standard police handgun at the scene, along with some bullets.

When Inspector Ishiguro asked him about it, Akihiko Noguchi stammered and said that he initially thought someone was playing tricks on him, and that he only brought the guy along to ensure that he could save the two female news anchors.

As for the source and legality of the firearms, the answer is no, that is, the source of the firearms is illegal, because although Japan allows licensed possession of firearms, it is limited to air guns and hunting rifles, and handguns are obviously not included.

With mounting evidence pointing to Akihiko Noguchi as the suspect, police took him to the station for further questioning.

As for the crime scene, Officer Ishiguro has notified other colleagues to come and inspect it for further processing.

Unexpectedly, after Noguchi Akihiko was brought back, he still claimed that the ghost had killed those people.

He also stated that two teenage news anchors were present at the time and could testify for him. Inspector Ishiguro then summoned Fujita Misaki and Shimizu Suzune to give statements.

Unexpectedly, the two girls also claimed to have encountered a ghost, and the ghost described by Fujita Misaki was almost identical to the one described by Noguchi Akihiko.

Let's review the video again.

No need to look anymore.

They are clearly consistent.

The problem now is that the Japanese police have made it clear that they will not handle cases involving the supernatural, regardless of whether ghosts exist in the world.

Besides, who can prove that ghosts exist? Seeing is believing!

Moreover, the case from last night was actually handed over to Sakuraba Shrine by Inspector Ishiguro over the phone, which led to the murder of the priests and their entourage at Sakuraba Shrine.
