In Zongman, the evil spirits are eliminated physically.

"Eh?"

In just one second, many things appeared in Lei Zi's little head, and finally all these thoughts and ideas turned into Lei Zi's actions.

The ordinary junior high school girl without any super powers grabbed Hina's wrist and pulled her to her side. She also took several steps back cautiously, trying to keep some distance from Ouyang Jun.

"Amano-san! How could you let your guard down like that! I thought this was your boyfriend!?"

"Saten-san, what are you talking about?"

"You're in a suburban cemetery with a man now. What if he has any thoughts about you? What should you do?"

"Ah, ah?" After two "ahs", Haruna finally understood what Ruizi meant. "Saten-san, you misunderstood. The president is very kind to me, and this isn't the first time we've worked out so late at night. Besides, he has a girlfriend."

but. . .

If the president really attacks me, how long can I resist? Ten minutes...wouldn't the president be too tired?

Ah! !

Amano Haruna, what are you thinking about! !?

"Amano-san, you..." Ruizi looked at Hina in surprise, whose face suddenly turned red. Isn't this expression a typical shy girl who is thinking of the person she likes?

"Ahem, anyway, there's no problem between me and the president. Don't worry, Saten-kun. I will protect myself, and the president will protect me too."

"But what kind of job is this that requires running to a cemetery in the middle of the night? A trolling UP host?"

"It's not that strange. It's just the work of an exorcist. The president is the exorcist, and I'm his assistant."

"Exorcist!? Sounds like an urban legend!"

Although Leizi didn't trust Ouyang Xuan 100%, seeing Hina's appearance, Leizi let down her guard a little and tentatively asked Ouyang Xuan a few questions about supernatural things.

"Fire, salt, sugar, and wine—everyday items like these can harm and dispel common ghosts. There's no need to go to a shrine to ask for spells. Every exorcism method, embellished by myths and legends, is applicable worldwide, as long as it's not a monster unique to a particular place, like the ghosts of your island nation."

"So the method of exorcising evil spirits is so simple. If common everyday things like fire, salt, sugar, and wine can be used to exorcise evil spirits and exorcise spirits," Lei Zi pondered, and then a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head. "Then if I sprinkle salt on the apple pie, can I stack the buffs?"

"Look, the apple is the fruit of wisdom. Wine and sugar are added when making it, and fire is used when baking it. I sprinkle salt on it. Isn't this a magic weapon that combines various legends to ward off evil spirits?"

"Theoretically, it's feasible." Faced with Lei Zi's whimsical idea, Ouyang Falcon did not flatly deny it. Instead, he began to explain to Lei Zi, "For ordinary people, it's best to use the materials used for exorcism directly. Processing not only requires knowledge of magic, but also the ability to observe the direction and layout of the material's spiritual energy. This way, the original spiritual energy of the material can be preserved during the production and processing."

"Ordinary people shouldn't be able to sense spiritual energy, nor do they have the corresponding knowledge of magic. Once processed, it will often only destroy the spiritual energy contained in the material, turning it into a useless object."

"Oh, so it can be explained this way."

At present, Lei Zi still doesn’t know that Ouyang Xuan is a genuine exorcist. She just regards him as a college senior who has sufficient knowledge about such supernatural events. However, after walking for a while, Lei Zi let down her guard against him. After all, can someone who likes urban legends and supernatural events be a bad person?

It was obviously Hina who met Ouyang Xuan first, and they were more intimate, but now it was Lei Zi who was walking side by side with Ouyang Xuan. Looking at the two of them chatting and laughing in front, Hina always felt a little blocked in her heart, but she couldn't explain why.

"Amano."

"Amano."

"Eh? Here."

Ouyang Xuan called out several times before waking up Yang Cai who was distracted.

"Watch your head, there's something above you, don't let it hit you."

"Up there? Is it a monster or a ghost?"

After hearing what Ouyang Xuan said, Yang Cai subconsciously raised her head in the direction Ouyang Xuan said. She might have thought that Ouyang Xuan was talking about something like a spider or a branch, or at least a ghost. But when Yang Cai looked up, none of these things appeared. Instead, a face quickly enlarged in front of Yang Cai.

A woman wearing an awkward and tattered robe fell head over heels from a tree. A rope was tied around her waist, preventing her from colliding directly with Hina. Instead, she hovered a fist's distance above Hina's raised cheek. Some of her makeup, melted by sweat, was smeared on her face, making her look scarier than a ghost, especially the red lipstick and eye shadow, which flowed down like blood from all her orifices.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

"What the hell is this!!!"

"Wow, Amano-san, please stop yelling so loudly. I'm almost going deaf."

I am afraid of ghosts, but they didn't hurt me at all. I am not afraid of people, but people scared me half to death.

Because she couldn't tell with her own eyes whether the thing that fell was a ghost or a monster, Hina knew that it must be a human. The scream had already reached Hina's throat, and just when she was about to swallow it into her stomach, the person who fell opened his mouth.

"Yeah—wow, woooooooooo."

As soon as the man opened his mouth, a red liquid with a fishy smell immediately flowed out, making the man above unable to speak clearly. He seemed to be apologizing to Hina in a vague manner, but Hina, whose face was covered with "blood", could no longer hear clearly. There was only a sharp explosion, and then he fell to the ground.

"President!" Hina protected her face with her arms and subconsciously screamed and called out to Ouyang Sun.

"You are not even afraid of monsters and ghosts, so why are you afraid of a person dressed so badly?" Ouyang Xuan was very confused. Yang Cai had seen many monsters and evil spirits during the time she followed him, so why would she be scared by a human being today?

"This is completely different! This is much scarier than monsters and evil spirits! President, please get her away quickly!"

"Hey, even though my cosplay isn't very good, you can't say that to me. Besides, my character is a ghost, not some evil spirit. I'm a super cute ancient ghost."

The upside-down girl seemed quite displeased with Haruna's words. Her body swayed, and she tried to get down. She bent over and tried to untie the rope around her waist, but after all her efforts, not only did the rope not come loose, she couldn't figure out which rope she had pulled. Her long gown and skirt were twisted and twisted, and her whole body was being strangled even more tightly, like a suspended fish.

"Wow, what is this person doing? Running to the cemetery to hang himself?" Lei Zi shouted subconsciously.

Ouyang Xuan walked forward, pushed the girl hanging upside down away with his hand, and reached out to Yang Cai.

"Get up, if you're not afraid of monsters, why should you be afraid of humans?"

"I told you this is different."

Hina expressed her dissatisfaction with a coquettish look, and held the hand that Ouyang Jun extended, ready to let Ouyang Jun pull her up. Because she had fallen down too hard just now, Hina's entire buttocks were about to split in two, and it hurt a lot.

"what!!"

The girl who was pushed away by Ouyang Xuan was able to see Ouyang Xuan's face clearly at this time with the help of the lantern in his hand.

"It's you! The man who stole my beloved Shizuku!"

Chapter 11: Doing That Kind of Thing Here!?

"Have you taken good care of Shizuku-chan? Did you put it in its special display box after taking it out? Did you clean it regularly? If you let Shizuku-chan get dusty, it's a serious crime punishable by heaven!"

Kitagawa Haimeng, who was hanging upside down, recognized Ouyang Xuan and excitedly swayed her body in the air, her waist bending back and forth, trying to struggle out without loosening her hands that were covering her robe and skirt. However, the rope did not loosen at all, but became much tighter, leaving a clearly visible mark on Haimeng's waist. Those who didn't know would have thought she was hanging herself.

"I... wuwuwu... I... help."

After struggling for a while like a fish being hung up, Hai Meng not only failed to get rid of the rope around his waist, but because the movement was too intense, his head, which was already congested due to being hung upside down, became dizzy, and his face became red due to the congestion.

Ouyang Xuan watched Hai Meng's movements indifferently from the side. She moved completely to herself, and then moved to herself, causing herself to have cerebral congestion. Ouyang Xuan thought to himself, is there something wrong with this girl?

Seeing that Hai Meng was about to die, Ouyang Jun did not rescue her immediately. He pulled Yang Cai up from the ground, waved his hand and asked her to go away, so as to prevent this smart little head who was only in junior high school from being infected by Hai Meng's stupidity.

"Are you okay? Stay awake and don't fall asleep."

"Ha, it's Shizuku-chan. She's taking off her clothes and waving at me."

"Shouldn't we be seeing the Naihe Bridge by now? No, that's an illusion. Don't go over there!"

Let Yang Cai go away. When Ouyang Xuan turned around, he saw Lei Zi holding a knife and trying to cut the rope on Hai Meng's waist. While cutting the rope, she was encouraging Hai Meng, who was about to faint, to not follow the hallucination and go far away.

However, Lei Zi's little arms and legs were working hard to cut the rope with a knife, while trying to support Hai Meng's upside-down head, hoping to relieve the uncomfortable feeling of blood congestion in Hai Meng's head. However, the rope could not be cut, and the blood congestion in Hai Meng's head was not relieved at all.

"Help, okay, I feel so uncomfortable, I feel like vomiting..."

"Be patient, it will be fine soon."

Lei Zi spoke quickly, but after Lei Zi cut the rope for a long time, the biggest damage was just a white scratch, and it was not hurt at all. She was as fierce as a tiger, but her performance was even uglier than that of the Chinese national football team.

"Why can't I cut this rope?" Lei Zi also found that the hardness of the rope was too abnormal.

"Hmph... hmph... this is a rope specially made for taking difficult cosplay photos. It's super hard." Although her tone was very weak, Hai Meng still turned her head and gave Lei Zi a thumbs up, and she said it with great pride.

"Now is not the time for such things as pride!?"

"Brother Ouyang, she's a human, not a ghost. Really, don't be afraid. Come and help me cut the rope. She's dying." Seeing that she couldn't cut the rope anymore, Leizi called out to Ouyang Falcon for help. "We'll talk about her scaring Amano later. Right now, we have to rescue her quickly, otherwise it will be too late."

Hai Meng, who had been hanging upside down for a while, was already rolling his eyes and foaming at the mouth, looking like he was about to enter the second dimension.

Lei Zi spent a long time cutting the rope with a knife, but Ouyang Xuan just raised his hand, grabbed it and pulled it, and the rope broke easily. There was an unpleasant smell coming from the broken part, as if it was burned by fire, but no sparks could be seen during the whole process.

The rope around the waist broke, and Hai Meng's body immediately fell from mid-air. Lei Zi reacted immediately. Fearing that Hai Meng would be hurt, Lei Zi subconsciously dropped the knife, then bent down to hug Hai Meng, but ended up turning herself into Hai Meng's meat cushion.

"I feel dizzy...haha...it's not just Shizuku-chan...I also saw a lot of my tweets..."

"Miss, you get up first..."

Lei Zi was feeling suffocated by Hai Meng. Only after Hai Meng was pulled away by Ouyang Xuan did she feel much better and breathed in deep gulps of air.

The clothes that took two months to make were now stained with a lot of Hai Meng's melted makeup, but she didn't care about the clothes anymore. Although she was rescued from mid-air, Hai Meng's face, which had been red from the congestion, turned pale and blue due to discomfort, looking very ugly and embarrassed.

"Come on, drink slowly." Lei Zi poured out the still cold cola from the thermos and put it to Hai Meng's mouth, letting her drink it bit by bit.

"I feel alive again." After finishing a glass, Hai Meng felt unsatisfied. "Can I have another glass?"

Hai Meng drank half of Lei Zi's Coke, and Yang Cai, who was called away by Ouyang Xuan, also moved back to Ouyang Xuan's side little by little, and whispered mysteriously in Ouyang Xuan's ear.

"Boss, the scary female ghost mentioned in the commission, is that her?"

"It's not her. She doesn't have any ghostly aura, and this place does indeed have the aura of evil spirits." Ouyang Xuan didn't notice anything unusual about Hai Meng other than her appearance. "I don't know why she dressed up like this, but maybe she came here to play a prank."

"A prank?" Recalling the scene just now, Hina shuddered. "That prank was too much. If I were discovered, I would be beaten to death..."

"Ghost? A female ghost?" Hai Meng, who had regained consciousness, tilted her head, trying to understand what Ruizi said. "Is there such a thing here? I have no idea."

"Kitagawa-senpai, don't you know what's going on here, and you came here to shoot a video?"

"It can't be helped. This is the only cemetery near Tokyo that offers free admission. I'd also like to take photos somewhere clean and tidy, but I can't capture that feeling in places like that. But the most important thing is that it's free here, and people who do cosplay, ahem, are relatively poor."

During the brief conversation, Lei Zi and Hai Meng exchanged some information about themselves. They learned that the reliable girl in front of them with super femininity was actually only a junior high school student. Hai Meng felt that her femininity was about the same as hers, just like the difference between a wheelchair and a Ferrari.

"Senior Kitagawa, you're too bold. There have been more than a dozen reports of female ghost sightings here this month. The last witness a few days ago was hospitalized with broken legs due to an encounter with that female ghost."

"Oh, is that so? That's amazing."

“Is there anything amazing here?”

"Hey, don't worry about the details." Hai Meng said casually, "What about you, Saten? Are you taking this adventure with the person who stole Shizuku?"

"I'm here to uncover the secrets of urban legends," Leizi said. "Amano-san and Ouyang-san are from the exorcism agency, and they're here to eliminate that female ghost."

"Eliminate the female ghost?" Hai Meng probably didn't believe it.

"It's not nice to point fingers at your savior behind his back."

Ouyang Xuan's cold voice came from behind. Hai Meng jumped up from Lei Zi's folding stool and bowed ninety degrees to Ouyang Xuan.

"Thank you so much for saving me!"

"Then..." Hai Meng raised her head cautiously, "Can you let me take a look at Shizuku? I really just want to take a look, just from a distance."

"Didn't you just look like you didn't trust me?"

"That's not true. I'm just a little surprised to see you." Hai Meng patted his chest vigorously, "You and I are comrades! We are both comrades who deeply love Shizuku. People who like Shizuku, how bad can they be?"

"Hey hey hey."

Hai Meng also knew that it was not nice to talk about others behind their backs, so after she finished speaking, she smiled awkwardly.

"So, what are you doing in the cemetery at night dressed like this?" Ouyang Xuan looked Hai Meng up and down. "If you want to play a prank, do it another time."

"What kind of prank is this? It's cosplay, cosplay."

"My character is a ghost, and I wanted to capture that feeling, so I came to the cemetery to shoot, in order to restore the setting."

"Photographing? Didn't you come here because the cemetery offers free admission and free photography?" Ouyang Jun exposed Hai Meng's words.

"Cut~~"

He didn't answer Ouyang Xuan's words, but just clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and turned his head away.

"I want you to manage."

"I'm not interested in you." Ouyang Falcon looked at Lei Zi, "Saten, take this guy away from here now. You are not suitable to participate in what happens next."

"Eh?"

"Hey, hey, hey! Do you want to do that kind of thing here with that cute girl?!"

Unlike the pure Ruiko, as someone who has collected all the cgs of "Slutty Girl 2", Kitagawa Umi has very sufficient knowledge in that area. Moreover, the part where Shizuku and the male protagonist are in the school forest is also one of Umi's favorites, and she has replayed it many times.

Although Ouyang Xuan didn't say anything, Hai Meng's mind, which wouldn't have been so jumpy, suddenly jumped to that point because of the influence of the current environment. Her face suddenly turned red, just like a cooked hairy crab.

"What's going on in the minds of today's students from the island countries? How come you two are thinking about that kind of thing?" Knowing that Hai Meng had also got the wrong idea, Hina immediately said in shame and anger.

"Sorry, sorry. After all, the general environment is like this. It's inevitable that I would think wrongly." Hai Meng immediately slid down to his knees to apologize.

"We're all high school students after all, so it's normal for this possibility to exist."

"Um, Kitagawa-senpai, Amano-san and I are in the same class..." said Ruiko.
