Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 269 Take action
"Mr. Yang Liu." Koizumi Rin didn't stand on ceremony and pulled out the chair opposite him to sit down, getting straight to the point, "You must have noticed Tanaka Yumi's situation, right?"

Her tone was direct and carried a certain certainty.

She was certain that with Ms. Yang Liu's almost obsessive keen observation skills, it was impossible for her not to notice Tanaka Yumi's unusual behavior.

Yang Liu nodded, not denying it: "Yes, her condition is very bad, and it continues to worsen."

"It's more than just worsening!" Koizumi Rin's tone intensified, leaning forward slightly, lowering her voice, and her eyes becoming serious. "What I 'see' tells me she's in grave danger! That... omen... if we don't take action soon, I'm afraid she could..."

Koizumi Rin was stuck on what she was about to say, and Yang Liu slowly uttered what she was about to say for her: "...suicide."

Yang Liu's expression also became serious.

In Koizumi Rin's view, black mist is a manifestation of death; the appearance of black mist on a person means that person is about to die.

Yang Liu and Xiao Quanling have collaborated more than once. Previously, they had encountered people who were about to die in accidents, so the black mist dissipated from them after they were rescued.

It's not impossible for someone to have black mist continuously emanating from their body, after all, some people are indeed unlucky.

However, the black mist on Tanaka Yumi's body was clearly not created by accident, so it would continue to be created even if Koizumi Rin saved her. The only possibility is that the person herself actively sought death!
“According to you, since those thugs haven’t bothered her these past two days but the black mist is still appearing, it means that the bullying is just a trigger, not the root cause,” Yang Liu said in a deep voice, directly pointing out the core of the problem. “The real problem should lie in her family.”

Koizumi Rin nodded vigorously: "That's what I think too! Those thugs are just rubbing salt into the wound. What's really causing her pain is probably something else. But... what can we do? Go directly to her parents?"

Thinking of Yumi's extreme fear and resistance before, she felt that this path probably wouldn't work either.

“Randomly contacting the parents might not be a good thing.” Yang Liu shook her head, tapping her fingers lightly on the table. “Without understanding the specific situation, it could backfire and even increase her stress.”

He stood up, walked to the window, and watched the sunset paint the sky a rich orange-red.

“However,” he changed the subject, his tone decisive, “now that things have come to this point, we can’t just let it go. I need to get more involved and check on the situation.”

Koizumi Rin's eyes lit up: "You're going to talk to her?"

"I suppose so," Yang Liu nodded. "Some things need to be confirmed in person. And..."

He turned around and looked at Koizumi Rin with a serious expression: "I need to confirm whether there is anything else contributing to that 'bad feeling' around her, besides her own excessive mental stress."

Koizumi Rin immediately understood what Yang Liu meant; Tanaka Yumi's intense negative energy could indeed attract some unclean things.

"I understand." Koizumi Rin stood up, her expression serious. "What do you need me to do?"

Yang Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Just act normally, but keep a close eye on Tanaka Yumi's movements. If you notice any unusual behavior from her, or if the situation you 'see' suddenly worsens, notify me immediately."

“Okay!” Koizumi Rin readily agreed.

……

……

Yang Liu did not rush to conduct a formal "psychological counseling" interview.

He knew that for an extremely sensitive and closed-off individual like Tanaka Yumi, any sudden, purposeful contact would likely cause her to instantly erect even thicker psychological barriers.

He still chose to observe, but this time, his observations were more focused and more in-depth.

Yang Liu's strong physical abilities allowed him to clearly capture Yumi's every subtle movement, expression, and habit, even from a great distance.

Just as the two had predicted, Tanaka Yumi's condition did not improve over the next two days; instead, it continued to deteriorate at a heart-wrenching pace. Even behind her always-clean glasses, her once evasive eyes lost their last glimmer of light, leaving only an emptiness and numbness like stagnant water.

These are all typical signs that mental stress has reached a critical point.

At the same time, Yang Liu also confirmed that the bullying behavior had indeed subsided.

Huang Mao's gang seemed to have noticed that Yumi's condition was not right, or perhaps they were wary of Yang Liu and Xiao Quan Ling's presence. In the past two days, they only cast a few malicious glances from afar and did not carry out any substantial harassment.

This further confirms Yang Liu's judgment—bullying is merely a catalyst; the real problem lies elsewhere.

Moreover, in just a few days, the cold, negative energy emanating from Yumi Tanaka has reached an extremely dangerous saturation point, like an ever-expanding balloon!
The energy was so intense that it even began to affect the surrounding environment, causing those who got close to her to feel a vague sense of oppression and palpitations.

Tanaka Yumi's previous state had already attracted some wandering ghosts, but the presence of Yang Liu, a "human-shaped exorcism device," at the school prevented things from getting any more complicated.

But every time she returned home, she would be tainted by many low-level ghosts the next day.

Like bloodthirsty gnats, they hovered even more densely around Yumi, constantly whispering temptations and urging her in her ear, amplifying her inner pain and helplessness.

"it's useless…"

"Give up..."

"Be free..."

"Jump and it will all be over..."

These malicious whispers, though inaudible to ordinary people, were undoubtedly a deadly poison to Tanaka Yumi, whose mental state was already on the verge of collapse, constantly eroding her last bit of will to live.

Yang Liu even had a feeling that if things continued like this, it wouldn't be long before Yumi's fragile mental defenses would completely collapse.

By then, she might be completely consumed by these negative energies and malicious whispers, and do something irreversible.

The feedback from Koizumi Rin confirmed Yang Liu's concerns.

"Teacher, the situation is very bad!" After school, Ling found Yang Liu again, her face more solemn and anxious than ever before. "The black mist on Tanaka-kun has reached a critical point!"

"I understand." Yang Liu's eyes also turned unusually cold.

We must intervene immediately!

Yang Liu stood up, her tone resolute: "We need to go find Tanaka Yumi immediately and find a way to keep an eye on her. We can't let her be alone, especially in secluded places like the rooftop or the bathroom."

"Okay!" Koizumi Rin nodded without hesitation and turned to run outside.

Yang Liu watched Xiao Quanling run away, took a deep breath, and stretched her limbs, making a crackling sound.

He had originally intended to intervene in a gentler manner, but now it seems the situation no longer allows him to proceed in a step-by-step manner.

It's time to let some "things" hiding in the shadows experience what "physical psychological counseling" is like.

Whether it's a person or something else.

A cold, sharp glint flashed in his eyes as he strode out of the counseling room, radiating a chilling aura of oppression.
