Fortunately, Granny Sanzhi had an apprentice named Rom. Although the relationship between the two had been strained for a long time, Mr. Rom had long had ideas about this shrine - this shrine had a connection with Mr. Rom when he was a child. In the end, it was Granny Sanzhi's teacher who saved him and became the target of the evil spirit in his place and died.
Encouraged by Mr. Rom, she, Granny Sanzhi and Mr. Rom destroyed the source of the evil spirit in the shrine and freed the dead soul of the shrine maiden who had been imprisoned there as a sacrifice since ancient times.
After that, he met the strange transfer student Michiru Ichijo. Fortunately, he solved the mystery of her and they became friends.
Later, he discovered that in every photo of himself and Xiaohua, there was a strange dirty thing with the appearance of a pseudo-uncle. After going to find Mr. Rom, Mr. Rom, who was more powerful than Granny Saegusa, almost died because of this. He could only ask Mr. Tose, who seemed to be the most powerful person in Neon, for help.
Before this matter came to a conclusion, the so-called chat group appeared.
"What on earth...is this thing?" Yotsuya Kenko could only ask himself this question in his heart, not daring to say it out loud.
She had seen many evil spirits, but never this kind. A chat group was normal, but a fantasy chat group that appeared in front of her 24 hours a day without any electronic equipment and could not be shaken off was definitely very strange!
She initially thought it was a new evil spirit.
These dirty things are so deceptive in their disguises. Before, there was one who pretended to be a passerby child. She accidentally responded to him, and the other party immediately tore off his disguise and rushed over to kill her.
But... it has been several days since she was harassed by this chat group. She actually accidentally revealed a flaw, but nothing bad happened. This made Jianzi undecided again.
"Well, anyway, Mr. Tose and the others are finally free today. I must go find them and see what's going on!"
30. A day in the life of Yotsuya Miko (Part )
"I am leaving!"
When Yotsuya Miko greeted her when she went out, her mother and brother thought that she was only hitting them, but only she knew that she was actually also hitting her father at home - ever since she could see, she understood that her dead father had been staying at home to protect everyone.
Whenever those horrible creatures that can directly harm people who can't see anything appear, my father will help keep them out of the door... In essence, they are dog-shaped evil spirits that live around my father. My father himself is very weak and has no power.
Even though her father had helped her several times, she still didn't dare to communicate with him. She was afraid that if she showed him the truth, he would tear off his disguise and turn into a terrifying evil spirit in an instant.
This kind of thing has happened to other evil spirits before, and she definitely doesn't want to see her father become like that.
Therefore, she would never confront her father. Even if they could not communicate, as long as her father was still around, she would feel happy.
Feeling encouraged and positive, Yotsuya Miko clenched her soft little hands into fists and said, "It's okay, be strong!"
Walking on the street, Yotsuya Miko took out her mobile phone from her pocket and focused most of her attention on the phone screen, becoming a "phone-drowsing person" in the eyes of outsiders.
There was no way, this was not what she wanted. The main reason was that there were too many evil spirits on the road. Although she had tried her best in acting, if she kept staring at them, she would eventually lose control. Playing with the phone was a good way to avoid the evil spirits and not arouse suspicion.
Moreover, Xiaohua, Zhiru and Yulia also happened to send messages to her, asking if she wanted to go out and play together.
Yotsuya Miko declined one by one. She had to go see Mr. Tose and the others today, otherwise they might not be available tomorrow.
The sky above Tokyo was clear and the bright sun was shining on everything. It was completely different from the day when the Yin-Yang eyes first opened. Also different was that the bus that Yotsuya Miko was waiting for was not the same bus as before. What was even more different was that this time she was not the only one waiting, but there were more than ten people busking there.
However, all these differences were not as significant as one fatal similarity... Just like that day, the waiting station was lurking with terrifying evil spirits.
This evil spirit was fat all over, with several white bones with flesh missing from its belly, several big mouths that were constantly chewing, and a third hand growing from its elbow. It was so big that one had to look up to see the whole thing.
This disgusting evil spirit was selecting its prey, slowly moving its fat pig-like body and walking in front of every person waiting at the station to screen them.
But Yotsuya Miko knew that except for her, no one else could see it here!
Anyone who could see it would have noticed it long ago! He didn't even need to wait for the evil spirit to approach him before his hands and feet turned cold and he couldn't control his expression. If he hadn't been leaning down to look at his phone, he wouldn't have dared to guarantee that he could hold on!
Yotsuya Miko was trembling slightly and was about to cry. She was so unlucky today. She could only count the seconds over and over again and pray that the bus would arrive soon. Whenever a vehicle approached, she couldn't help but look up, but she was disappointed every time.
Just as she was looking forward to it again, the moment she looked up, she caught a glimpse of a middle-aged man who looked like a social animal nearby making strange movements.
This gentle old man holding a briefcase and wearing white glasses had accidentally glanced at the location of the evil spirit several times before, without any special reaction at all. This is something that cannot be acted out at all.
But unknown to him, when his eyes accidentally swept over the evil spirit again this time, he suddenly froze, blinked, and paused, as if he had seen something incredible. He hurriedly took off his glasses, wiped them carefully, rubbed his eyes, put on his glasses again, and looked at the location of the evil spirit again.
"Monster, monster! There's a monster! Aaaah!"
The uncle suddenly panicked, screamed, fell to the ground in fear, and stepped back repeatedly, pointing at the evil spirit and shouting, "Call the police, call the police quickly!"
However, what surprised him was that after seeing his performance, the people around him were not afraid at all. Instead, they all frowned and muttered things like "What?", "He looks like a normal person, how could he suddenly become mentally ill?", "This is too...", and they only cared about distancing themselves from him.
Moreover, two of them actually ran to the side of the evil spirit, sticking closely to the horrible monster, with no distance between them at all!
"What are you doing? Run! Call the police!" The uncle felt unbelievable and continued to shout hurriedly.
But all he got in response was a look of even greater disgust from everyone. What on earth was going on?
The uncle looked around and saw only a high school girl standing there staring at him blankly. She seemed surprised as well, but she didn't think he was crazy, so she couldn't help but want to grasp at this straw.
But it was too late.
——The bloated and fat evil spirit was already laughing, and when it found the food, its originally slow pace suddenly became terrifyingly fast, and it rushed towards the uncle.
"No! Don't come over here! Don't come over here! Save me, anyone can save me, help! Help! Can't you see? Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Yotsuya Kenko's eyes widened, and he felt his whole body cold and stiff.
This was the first time she had truly seen the end result when evil spirits discovered that humans could see.
From her perspective, the evil spirit completely enveloped the uncle, and he was unable to breathe as if he was drowning. The blood color quickly disappeared, turning him extremely pale, and the muscles on his body gradually became thinner, as if he had not eaten or slept for three months. Finally, in the powerless struggle, his soul was completely shattered and became food for the evil spirit, which was sucked into its bloated belly.
"Ah? Hey, someone call 120 quickly, something happened here!" But in the eyes of ordinary passers-by, the uncle seemed to have some emergency that they had never seen before, and the symptoms were too scary.
Although they thought the other person was mentally ill and stayed away from him, they still called an ambulance immediately when they saw that the uncle had a problem.
Only Jianzi knew that it was too late.
After eating the uncle's food, the evil spirit even burped, feeling satisfied, and looked at everyone hungrily, hoping that the next person would see it.
The bus that Yotsuya Kenko had been waiting for finally arrived. She ran onto the bus as if escaping. The bus started moving away from the tragic bus stop.
But even after arriving at Grandma Sanzhi's base, her pale face still remained unchanged and she was still in fear.
31. The World Heading Towards Destruction
"Grandma Sanzhi!"
It was a little dark under the small eaves, but the moment she arrived here and saw the three people in the house, Yotsuya Miko, who had been holding back, finally felt relieved.
Of the four people present, three have the ability to exorcise ghosts. Although Granny Sanzhi is old and her exorcism skills are much weaker than Mr. Rom and Mr. Tose, she is experienced, knowledgeable, and gentle.
Mr. Rohm seems to be very eccentric in his words and deeds, and his dress is very casual, but he is very capable and not a bad person. He is very reliable at critical moments.
As for Mr. Tose, he is a veteran office worker in a company. He is serious and stern, and it is easy for people to misunderstand him as a bad person. However, after getting to know him better, you will find that Mr. Tose is a very good person.
But Mr. Tose is different from other exorcists. All exorcists can see, but Mr. Tose, like ordinary people, can't understand at all. He can only rely on his friends - a group of black-clothed evil spirits following him to report, and then he touches the evil spirits himself to exorcise them.
"Great, Mr. Rom, Mr. Tose, you're back! I..."
Yotsuya Miko couldn't wait to tell about the strange thing that happened in the chat group, but the next second, she was shocked and looked extremely surprised.
The room was filled with the smell of fresh blood. Mr. Rom and Mr. Tose had bandages wrapped around some parts of their bodies. Granny Saegusa looked safe and sound on the outside, but her spirit was obviously much weaker than before.
"Don't worry, Komiko." Granny Sanzhi shook her head gently. "It's just a minor injury. Compared to this, there are other things that are more important. We went out this time to help you deal with that unknown evil spirit, but before we could find any trace of it, we encountered another evil spirit outbreak."
Roma turned on the TV and motioned his son to watch. Today's news was playing on TV.
"Recently, sudden mental illness-related deaths have occurred in numerous locations across Japan, with individuals ranging in age from seven-year-old kindergarteners to people in their nineties. Data reveals that these incidents lack any commonalities. The only clues we can draw from surveillance footage or eyewitness interviews are that they all suddenly started shouting about ghosts and monsters, and then died with varying symptoms."
"The Prime Minister has convened an emergency meeting of all medical experts to discuss this matter and identify the cause and solution for this new type of disease. Citizens are requested not to panic or become nervous."
"If anyone has insights into this matter, please analyze these photos of the victims and send an email to the following address. Officials will contact you."
"Our reporter reports..."
What comes later is no longer important.
Yotsuya Miko was dumbfounded, because she could clearly see that the photos released in the news all seemed to have different evil spirits. These evil spirits were either burping or wandering around the victims looking for new victims.
Although the deaths of the victims were blurred, it was still obvious that each one was horrific and miserable, just like the poor office worker uncle she had just seen!
"This, this is..." Yotsuya Kenko stuttered and couldn't finish her words. She was shocked.
"Look at these again." But this was not the end. Mr. Tose took out his mobile phone and handed it to her. There were websites from various countries on it. Those websites also contained similar news. This situation also occurred in other parts of the world!
All of this news was reported this morning.
Yotsuya Jianzi's face turned pale and he was dumbfounded. "Could it be that the whole world is..."
"That's right, it's just as you thought." Granny Sanzhi nodded gravely. "Do you understand what's going on now, Jianzi?"
"I know!" Yotsuya Miko stumbled nervously. "When I came here this morning, I saw with my own eyes a man who was blind before, but for some reason he suddenly became able to see, and then he was eaten by an evil spirit!"
She couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many people who can see it all of a sudden?"
"Unfortunately."
Rom spread his hands and said, "If more people can see it, that would be much better. The current situation is far more serious than you think, Xiao Jianzi."
"Those people can't actually see. Or rather, they have a little potential to see. Maybe occasionally when an evil spirit is nearby, they will suddenly feel a chill and inexplicable panic, but they will never be able to open their Yin-Yang eyes in their entire lives. Even now, they still can't open their Yin-Yang eyes."
"Then why?" Yotsuya Kenko was even more puzzled. How could he be eaten without the Yin-Yang Eyes?
"It's not that people have opened their Yin-Yang vision, but rather that the nature of the evil spirits has worsened." Rom spoke each word with a chill in his voice. "They've become easier to see, and... just recently, we saw a normal person with no potential at all see for a fraction of a second. Although it was too short to react, the evil spirit couldn't prey on them."
"There's another situation where a person is completely invisible, yet they're being closely followed by certain evil spirits. If they behave in a way that suggests they can be seen, even if they can't see at all, the evil spirits can arbitrarily assume they can and attack. While they can't kill directly due to the incomplete assessment, they can still absorb the person's vitality."
What did this mean? Even without thinking, Yotsuya Miko understood it immediately.
In other words, the evil spirits' deterioration might not be over yet? The next people to see them might be the seven billion people on earth. And even now, ordinary people are already suffering.
When Yotsuya Miko realized this subtext, she almost fainted, her tears unable to be concealed any longer: "What should we do? Xiaohua, and everyone else, what will happen in the future?"
Grandma Sanzhi was silent, and Rom also shook his head.
Only Mr. Tose remained calm and said, "Don't be too pessimistic. We've already taken action, haven't we? There's always a way. Actually, the situation isn't that serious right now, and the death toll isn't high. We may still have plenty of time to resolve it."
In the photos released by the authorities, the evil spirits are of different grades, some deep and some shallow. If someone can see them, they will understand what the authorities mean, and then send an email and be invited by the authorities to contribute to this countermeasure.
"Before, exorcists from all over the place were scattered and isolated. Now that they're all gathered together, maybe we can come up with a solution."
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but feel a little hope, but she didn't see the gloomy expression hidden in Rom's face... Those official photos were selected by him. The three of them had already confronted the officials and became the strongest professionals in the Countermeasures Bureau.
They had seen many evil spirits that the three of them could not defeat even if they joined forces.
If there aren't any hidden masters among the exorcists who come next, then...
This world may be on the road to destruction!
32. Chat group: Have I become a demon?
"Oh, forget it, let's not talk about this shit. It's not like the sky is falling or the earth is collapsing. Let's think positively. Maybe the evil spirits will become so bad that they can be physically touched. Then we can just bombard them with artillery. What's there to be afraid of?"
Not liking the atmosphere, Rom smiled and pushed his hat, looking relaxed and happy. He casually changed the subject and said, "By the way, why are you in such a hurry to come here? Did something happen again, Xiao Jianzi?"
"Oh, yes, it's, um, that..." Yotsuya Miko blinked her innocent orange-yellow eyes, and for a moment she didn't know what to say.
There was a clear ban in the chat group, prohibiting group members from disclosing the chat group to others. Although she wanted to disobey it, she somehow felt that she couldn't do so, as if something bad would happen if she did.
Therefore, she could only rack her brains and reluctantly hinted: "Mr. Rom, can you see what's in front of me? Just in front of me, ah, um..."
While hinting at it, she took out her phone and opened the LINE chat group.
"Is there something?"
Upon hearing this, Granny Sanzhi and Rom immediately frowned.
Especially Rom, whose clairvoyance was far superior to that of Mr. Mie. He hadn't noticed anything since Mieko's arrival. Could it be that something so profound, even he couldn't see it, had possessed Mieko? Those things were rare, but there were some. This poor kid was just too unlucky, being targeted by them all day and night.
And more importantly than the fact that he couldn't see it, Jianzi actually hinted so blatantly that she could see it? And yet she seemed to be fine with it?
This shouldn't be the case.
The deeper the evil spirit is, the more vicious it will be. It will not be so slow as to not take action until it has discovered something. Although Jianzi's words are just a hint, the evil spirit will definitely judge that they can see them.
Besides, Jianzi is a very reliable child. No matter how scared she is, she never fails to obey her orders and will not do such a thing that harms others and herself... Unless, this child has been tested to a certain extent, and the evil spirit that is haunting her now is very special?
"None of you can see?" Mr. Tose, who couldn't see, was shocked. He couldn't see in the first place, so it was normal that he couldn't see, but if even Rom couldn't see, then that would be a big problem.
Including his evil friends in black, none of them saw anything.
"Let me try." Tose stood up without saying a word, walked in front of Jianzi, and pressed down on the air with his palm with all his strength, but he touched nothing, and his hand felt empty.
They were defeated, but after they made such an obvious move, Jianzi was unharmed and not harmed by any evil spirit.
Rom couldn't help but ask, "Is there really something, Jianzi?"
"Actually..." Seeing that everyone had failed, Yotsuya Miko, who had been feeling uneasy for several days, was not afraid at all. Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, which was unusual for her. She felt much more relaxed. "I don't know if that was an evil spirit, but it doesn't seem to be!"
Now it's clear, if it's an evil spirit, there would be no movement, so in fact, it's really just a chat group!
"Is there something in this world that is not an evil spirit but is invisible?" The three exorcist masters looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never seen this before.
