In this anime crossover, who stole my module?

Natsume Ryo then looked down at Asaka in his arms, and after checking her condition, he couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, is there anyone else besides you?"

"There are still four people in the music classroom on the second floor of the old school building..."

"But...but three people...they...they are all dead..."

"And there's another one... Miyuki... She's afraid of heights, I wonder how she is up there now..."

After a long while, Yachahua finally found her voice, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

Seeing this, Geng Xizi gently patted Achaka's back, trying to comfort her.

Ying Xizi turned her gaze to the window on the second floor of the old school building, lost in thought.

Upon hearing this, Natsume Ryo also looked up.

"Is it there?"

"Yes, it's in the music room..."

Camellia nodded forcefully, her voice choked with emotion.

"Since things are already like this, let's go up and take a look."

After Natsume Ryo finished speaking.

Lightly touch the ground with your toes.

Immediately afterwards, an invisible force lifted his body up.

Camellia was still shaken.

I felt my body lighten and my field of vision suddenly rise.

As the ground recedes rapidly into the distance.

Achaka immediately grabbed Natsume Ryo's collar tightly, her face, covered in makeup, filled with disbelief and horror.

She...she's flying?

Was Natsume Ryo holding me and flying away?

……

"Hey, look! Natsume-kun can actually fly! I've been a ghost for decades and I can only float around, but he's a living person who can just fly whenever he wants! That's amazing!"

Upon witnessing this scene, Geng Xizi reached out and poked Ying Xizi beside her, her voice filled with surprise...

"He's not an ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, Yingyuko glanced at Gengyuko, then looked at Natsume Ryo's retreating figure, and spoke calmly:

"That's true. Being able to take down that monster so easily is definitely not something an ordinary person could do."

Geng Xizi nodded.

Then he looked with great interest at the camellia in Natsume Ryo's arms.

"But flying must feel amazing, right? I wonder what it's like. I really want to experience it."

"In my opinion, we shouldn't think too much and just hurry up and catch up."

……

In the blink of an eye, Natsume Ryo arrived at the window of the music classroom on the second floor with Asaka.

Then, with a light leap, it passed through the window frame and landed steadily on the floor.

The scene inside the music classroom was utterly desolate.

The girl's body lay scattered in a pool of blood in the center of the music classroom.

Besides.

Another girl's body lay by the window, her neck twisted at an unnatural angle. She was clearly the girl with acrophobia that Yachahua had mentioned earlier, who hesitated to jump at the last moment and ultimately could not escape.

……

"Miyuki! Ai-chan! Kana! Tsubaki!"

Just after the camellia was gently placed down by Natsume Ryo.

As soon as Acha-ka's feet touched the ground, she staggered and knelt down beside Miyuki's body, trembling as she reached out and gently shook her.

"Wake up! What happened?"

The memory of my friend's voice and smile, which I had just vividly remembered not long ago, has now vanished forever.

Tears welled up in Achahua's eyes like a flood bursting its banks.

"..."

But when Natsume Ryo looked at it...

Then I saw Asaka kneel on the ground, calling out her companion's name in utter grief.

Four silhouettes of girls, existing between illusion and reality.

—These are the four girls who were just killed by the man in the mist.

Standing beside Asaka, he looked at her somewhat helplessly, then at each other.

"..."

Looking at his own no longer solidified body, and the body on the ground that looked exactly like his own but had long since lost its life.

The girls looked at each other, their faces filled with confusion at the strange situation.

"Are we... already dead?"

Kana, the long-haired girl who was the first to be killed by the monster, spoke uncertainly, subconsciously raising her hand to touch her neck, where her fatal wound was located. At this moment, it was smooth without any wound, and she could not feel any pain.

"probably……"

"My body was in such a state just now, but now I can't feel anything at all..."

The girl whose body had just been pierced—Xiao Ai—looked down at her illusory palm and responded softly.

"Waaaah... I'm really dead... I'm so unwilling to accept this!"

"She just became an active high school girl!"

"We even promised to get into the same university together, then the five of us would rent a big house together, go to Hokkaido to see the snow, go scuba diving in Okinawa, and then wear pretty yukatas to watch fireworks with the people we like..."

"That's it."

"As a result, now only Achahua is left."

"Speaking of which..."

"You all saw Natsume just now, right?"

"He just raised his hand slightly, and the monster vanished in an instant!"

"I never imagined that there was such a powerful person hiding in our school."

"It's amazing that something like this is happening around us. It makes the whole world feel different."

"yes……"

"I never imagined this world was so wonderful... It's a pity that now that we've discovered it, we no longer have the chance to explore it."

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have been bolder and done more of what I wanted to do, instead of always thinking there would be time later."

"Who would have thought that our courage-testing contest would actually lead to something like this, and we even stumbled upon a major secret of the Commander-in-Chief of the Guijia Department."

"Wouldn't this be considered a worthy death in some sense?"

"Anyway, with Natsume here, Asaka is at least safe now."

"But what happened today must have terrified Ayaka. I wonder if it will leave her with psychological trauma..."

"Won't she be lonely on her own in the future... After all, we've always been together."

"Yes."

Several girls turned their gazes to Acha, who was on the verge of collapse, and couldn't help but sigh, their eyes filled with worry.

As they were already dead, the girls did not feel any resentment towards their friend, Asaka, for suggesting the exploration of the old school building.

after all.

No one could have predicted this tragedy. What was supposed to be just an adventure among friends in the old school building turned out to be a terrifying monster that preys on people, and they paid the ultimate price.

Now that they are all dead, I feel relieved.

Seeing Achaka's heartbroken appearance, I still felt a pang of reluctance.

"..."

at the same time.

At that moment, Geng Xizi and Ying Xizi appeared at the front door of the music classroom.

Geng Xizi looked around at the bloodstains and corpses, her brows furrowing slightly.

"Wow, this music room is a complete mess."

Kageyuko crossed her arms and leaned against the front door frame of the music classroom, looking at Natsume Ryo.

"Speaking of which, what are your plans for disposing of these corpses?"

Kageyuko leaned against the front door frame of the music classroom, arms crossed, looking at Natsume Ryo.

Natsume Ryo remained silent, his expression unchanged.

Instead, it suddenly occurred to me that something was wrong.

With a slight thought, Natsume Ryo quickly immersed his consciousness into the job field of the [Urban Ghost Stories Module].

A career panel is clearly displayed.

——【Occupation: Cursed Puppet Master】

……

"To be honest, I haven't used any of the abilities in this profession yet."

"We happen to have the materials ready-made."

"You can give it a try."

"Maybe we can get a few decent cursed dolls."

Ryo Natsume muttered to himself.

He then walked over to Acha, who was kneeling on the ground, and gently patted her shoulder.

Camellia raised her head with teary eyes.

"What's wrong, Natsume-kun?"
