【Description: Drinking tea? Then you must add blue flowers! 】

"..."

Lao Hei, just tell me the truth, did you dig up the grave of the witch?

Where do you get so many of Miss Miko's secret props in your store?

Kurosawa Ryojin drew a big, round pie for Mizutani Makoto - when Mizutani Makoto completed the task, he would put some new items on the shelves of the store, including the secret medicine of the body and the secret medicine of the spirit.

The selling price of these two items is unknown, but Makoto Mizutani guessed that it would probably not be very low.

There are 2 pieces of each of these two items.

Putting aside these two items, the total value of the items mentioned above alone is 2400 souls, including the 600 souls donated by Kurosawa Ryohito personally. Before the mission even started, Kurosawa Ryohito gave him a supply package worth more than 3000 souls.

This profiteer is actually quite capable.

Moreover, the reward is given before the task is completed...three stars!

Mizutani Makoto looked at the remaining souls, then went to the cafeteria and the kendo club dojo and collected a total of 2000 souls.

Go directly to the old school building, find Furuya Ruriko, and raise his spiritual power to 10.

Exit the game at the Torii Bonfire near the Ancient House Ruriko.

Late at night, 2:11.

Mizutani Makoto was not surprised that it was drizzling. He woke up Satori Yoshiko who was sleeping on the tatami, then opened an umbrella and headed straight towards Yami High School.

Chapter 77: Ninomiya Image? He will never return!

It rained all night.

The drizzle falls gently like silk, silently nourishing the sleeping city.

The street lights were dim and soft in the mist, and the surrounding buildings and trees were vaguely visible in the drizzle, their outlines blurred, as if from another world. Occasionally, a car would pass by, its headlights piercing the darkness, causing a splash of water, but soon calm would return.

Makoto Mizutani was holding an umbrella, the umbrella was a deep blue, just like the night sky, blending in with the surrounding environment, with only a few crystal drops of water occasionally sliding down the edge.

Under the umbrella, Yoshiko Satori rubbed her eyes and cheered herself up.

This is a very important mission!

Don’t get sleepy!

Yes, the elf is actually a little sleepy.

Nowadays, Mizutani Makoto's spiritual power has increased dramatically, and his energy shows signs of being extremely abnormal. He died twice in one night but was still full of energy. If Satori Yoshiko were to compete with him... she might not be able to survive this acquired ox and horse holy body.

The long battle was too exhausting for the little girl.

She had been fighting alongside Mizutani Makoto for over a week and happened to be resting tonight.

As a result, in the middle of her sleep, Mizutani Makoto shook her shoulders and woke her up from the tatami. She thought that her big brother was hungry and wanted to have a midnight snack, but her big brother immediately said that he was going to save the world, so she followed him out in a daze.

Now she has come to her senses and feels very happy.

Because the older brother didn't treat her as an outsider.

She never thought it was troublesome to take care of her big brother. On the contrary, she liked the feeling of being relied on... When facing such a critical task, her big brother did not abandon her, but took the initiative to pull her out. This definitely showed that he regarded her as a reliable helper!

This is great!

It’s not the Satori Yoshiko who is always protected by her big brother, but the Satori Yoshiko who can help her big brother!

Recently, the passion that was dampened by Miss Miko has quietly rekindled!

Makoto Mizutani was unaware of Satori Yoshiko's little thoughts, but he thought the same as Satori Yoshiko - this child is a very crucial helper. She can use the reverse zashiki posture, which is meaningless when fighting small monsters, but when fighting the BOSS, she can use hard control, which instantly makes her a super cup.

He doesn't dwell on thoughts like, "This kid needs protecting."

Holding this kind of thinking is a weak and irresponsible attitude towards both yourself and Satori Yoshiko.

At the critical moment, you must give your all!

Especially when it comes to the erosion of the world by the cracks, the higher the chance of success, the better, and the faster the solution, the better... So, even if it rains continuously, he will still rush forward.

Ninomiya statue?

Humph, I will make sure it never comes back!

Mizutani Makoto rushed to Yami High School without stopping. The outline of the school gradually appeared in the night sky woven by drizzle.

Everything around was covered in drizzle and a little blurry.

Mizutani Makoto looked around. Having previously sneaked into the school, he seemed to be familiar with the route. He found the spot where he had scaled the wall before, and now he simply jumped over the wall and landed gracefully on the grassy grounds.

Start sneaking!

Mizutani Makoto's eyes fell on the surveillance cameras, and he avoided them with light steps and headed straight for the playground.

The rain gradually subsided, and the remaining mist and rain seemed insignificant.

Mizutani Makoto folded his umbrella. The branches and leaves blown down by the wind swirled and fell in front of him. He stepped over them.

Amidst the mottled shadows of the trees, Mizutani Makoto's "intuition" moved slightly. This change, which ordinary people could not feel, was particularly obvious to him who had just started to glimpse the "mind's eye".

The night wind seemed to be mixed with subtle malice, as if a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark.

"No, big brother!"

Yoshiko Satori suddenly spoke up to remind her.

"This is no longer just the present world!"

The cold temperature made Mizutani Makoto's fingers slightly stiff, and Mizutani Makoto also realized this at this moment.

He had a strong feeling, as if he had entered a different dimension.

Mizutani Makoto suddenly realized that this feeling of entering a different world was already very familiar to him... He had this feeling every time he entered the crevice, as if he had suddenly left reality. Although his feet were on the ground and his head was in the sky, he still lacked a sense of reality.

Filled with dark grey blocks.

The entire campus seemed to be suddenly covered with a layer of gloomy and cold filter. The wind and rain completely stopped, but the sky was extremely dark, as if a heavy lead plate was pressing on the top of the head, making people feel depressed.

The teaching building in the distance looked particularly quiet in this atmosphere, its outline looming in the darkness, and a ray of light shining through the window.

Here is the "twist"!

Back then, when Yoshiko Satori was in the form of a vengeful spirit, she dragged Toshiya Hosokawa into the "distortion", completely cutting off his connection with the outside world.

This kind of distortion is similar to the "witch's barrier" that appears when a magical girl beats a witch in some works. It wanders between the gap between the present world and the past world. Its obsession is not enough to form a crack, but it is also an excellent place to kill people and destroy bodies.

Compared with persistent cracks, this distortion is time-limited and generally does not expand to such an exaggerated extent as the entire campus.

Satori Yoshiko closed her eyes and said anxiously, "That shouldn't be the case... Ah, they must have borrowed the power of the rifts, so the distortion has spread to cover the entire school."

In other words, the source of today's distortion still lies in the cracks.

What seems to be a distortion caused by Ninomiya's strange story is actually a slight overlap between the cracks and reality.

Mizutani Makoto nodded slightly.

As expected, we have to finish the Ninomiya statue as soon as possible.

On the playground, the usually vibrant green field was shrouded in darkness, and only its general shape could be vaguely discerned.

The basketball hoop and the football goal stood quietly in the darkness. Makoto Mizutani stood in the middle of the grass and couldn't help but frown.

"Where's the statue of Ninomiya?"

Yes, there is no statue of Ninomiya in this place.

According to what the students said before, Ninomiya should be running on the playground.

But what about the bronze statue?

How could he have such a big bronze statue of Ninomiya Sontoku?

The night wind blew, and the surrounding trees swayed gently in the breeze, and the leaves made rustling sounds.

Mizutani Makoto drew his two swords from their sheaths and became extremely alert. He had already treated Yomi High School as half of the private Hiiragigaoka Academy. Now, even if a young monk Jizo popped out from some corner, he would not be surprised.

"Then let's push the map!"

Since he has fallen into the distortion, there is no need to worry about the time issue. Anyway, he cannot get out unless he kills the culprit who caused the distortion.

Mizutani Makoto glanced at the lights in the teaching building. There were no students in school at this time.

Are you learning deep-sea anglerfish fishing?

A strange story about inherent evil!

Just wait, I will personally take you——

Mizutani Makoto was about to run towards the teaching building when he suddenly heard a terrible scream.

"Ahhh!!"

——It’s a woman’s voice.

The thought "Is this a victim or a trap?" quickly crossed Mizutani Makoto's mind, and he immediately made a judgment - who cares, his mission here is to kill people, if it's a victim, he'll see if he can save it in time, if it's a trap... humph, then my sword might not be out of place!

Direction of the artificial lake.

Rush!

Walking on the wet ground, Mizutani Makoto ran all the way to the artificial lake.

In the night, the lake is dyed by the darkness of the sky and appears particularly deep.

Before he got close, he heard a loud noise.

Wow! Wow!

In the center of the lake, there was a violent wave. The water in the entire artificial lake was turbulent and surging, as if something was trying to struggle out from the bottom of the lake.

"Help!!"

As water splashed, Mizutani Makoto heard a cry for help.

In the lake, Akemi Ota paddled hard with her arms. Her glasses had fallen somewhere long ago, and her long hair was tangled into a ball after being soaked by the water.

The lake water is freezing cold and there are many obstacles.

The cold lake water continued to hit her body, but driven by the desire to survive, Ota Akemi still struggled to breathe, especially after she found a figure standing by the lakeshore, she instinctively cried for help.

After a desperate struggle, the girl finally reached the shore and used her last bit of strength to grab the grass by the lake.

But she couldn't pull it up!

Akemi Ota looked at the grass she was holding on to in despair, trying her best to pull herself out of the water, but she always lacked a little strength. Now she bit her lips tightly, almost biting her lower lip to bleed, and was unwilling to let go of this last life-saving straw.

At the critical moment, Mizutani Makoto was also decisive. After confirming that Ota Akemi was alive, he immediately bent down and reached out to hold Ota Akemi's wrist.

"Push harder, I'll pull you up!"

Mizutani Makoto said in a deep voice.

Ota Akemi lost her glasses and struggled in the lake, unable to see who was in front of her. But in such a critical moment, even the smallest hope would make people cling to it, not to mention that Mizutani Makoto's hand was already tightly holding hers.

She immediately grabbed Mizutani Makoto's wrist tightly, and Mizutani Makoto didn't hesitate and pulled her out of the water.

The girl was soaked all over, and her clothes were surprisingly heavy after being soaked in water.

But Makoto Mizutani had already been born with supernatural powers, so there was no need to say much about such trivial matters.

ashore.

Akemi Ota was soaked in the lake water, her long hair stuck to her cheeks and shoulders. The originally smooth hair was now tangled together, and a few strands of hair were still dripping with water.

"Ha ha……"

The girl gasped for breath, trying to calm her heart, pounding with fear and exhaustion. Her clothing clung tightly to her body, the fabric clinging heavily to her skin, outlining her curves. Meanwhile, a piercing chill penetrated the fabric, piercing her heart, causing her to shiver.

She shivered uncontrollably in the cold.

Mizutani Makoto took a look and immediately noticed her legs. The girl's shoes were gone, and the sock on her right foot was also missing. Only the left foot still had half of the soaked white sock hanging down, covered in mud and grass, looking a little disheveled.

And on the exposed calf skin, there were bruise-like pinch marks.

The mark looked a bit like a hand, as if something had tightly grasped her legs.

"Thank you."
