Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 277 Strange Combinations

In another city on Kyushu Island, the undercurrents between the Chida siblings and the tense preparations of Yoruichi and his group are quite different.

A somewhat comical scene is unfolding in a trendy cafe with an extremely flamboyant decor.

"Hello, family! Good evening, everyone in the live stream! Your Miaomiao is online again!"

A girl with elaborate makeup, wearing a JK sailor uniform and a miniskirt adorned with LED lights, is facing a mobile phone camera in the center of a ring light, greeting people enthusiastically in fluent Northeastern Mandarin.

Her pink pigtails swayed as she shook her head, and the colorful disco balls on her body kept flashing, attracting many glances in the cafe.

She is Jiang Miaozhi, the main anchor of the "Supernatural Detective" live streaming room. She is well-known on live streaming platforms at home and abroad for her bold and unconventional style and live streaming content that explores various haunted houses and ghost places.

Sitting across from her was a muscular man in a low-key black windbreaker, quietly drinking a cup of Americano that looked very bitter.

He had ordinary features, but his eyes were unusually vigilant, always paying attention to his surroundings, which contrasted sharply with Jiang Miaozhi's flamboyance.

He is Shen Zhe, Jiang Miaozhi's "assistant and bodyguard," responsible for driving, moving equipment, and... handling things outside the live broadcast camera.

"Look, everyone! We're at this super popular online store now!" Jiang Miaozhi picked up a uniquely shaped strawberry cake from the table and showed it to the camera. "The desserts at this store are super cute! But we're not here to eat, drink, or go shopping this time!"

She deliberately lowered her voice, leaned closer to the camera, and made a mysterious expression: "Miaomiaozi heard that something 'big' is about to happen here! It's related to some... um, you know, supernatural phenomena! And it's going to be quite a big deal!"

The live stream chat exploded with comments:

"Is Miaomiaozi up to her antics again?"

"Still in Kyushu, when are we going to the Aokigahara Forest at Mount Fuji in Tokyo?"

"Be careful, Myoko! There are a lot of urban legends in Japan!"

"The guy next to me is still so cool, he's always just a background character, hahaha!"

Shen Zhe ignored the teasing comments in the live chat and focused his attention on a miniature tablet computer in front of him.

The screen did not display social media software, but rather a series of complex waveforms and geographic data.

“Location locked.” Shen Zhe whispered to Jiang Miaozhi, his voice just loud enough for her to hear but not for the live stream to pick up. “The central area of ​​the abnormal energy fluctuations points to ‘Mikazuki Mountain’ in the Kyushu region. There have been signs of abnormal signal jamming and large-scale personnel movements in this area recently, indicating a very high level of activity.”

Jiang Miaozhi continued speaking into the camera, but Shen Zhe heard her voice on the other end: "Mikazuki Mountain? Is that the place where the legendary 'demon' was sealed? Is it related to the 'god-making project' we're investigating?"

Shen Zhe nodded slightly: "The possibility is extremely high. The vague intelligence coming from Europe also mentioned keywords like 'soul container' and 'core material.' Combined with the energy fluctuations and official actions, it's basically certain that they're preparing to target that 'ghost god.'" Jiang Miaozhi's eyes lit up, but she maintained her exaggerated and lively demeanor in front of the live stream camera: "Hey everyone, some enthusiastic friends have messaged me with clues! They said there's a place called Mikazuki Mountain in Kyushu that's been acting strangely lately! It seems like the mountain's been closed off! The more it's like this, the more it indicates a problem!"

She exclaimed in an exaggerated tone, "Miaomiao has made up her mind! Next stop, we're going to Kyushu! Let's bravely venture into Mount Mikazuki! Let's see what kind of demons and monsters are lurking there! Do you guys want to see it? If you do, type 666!"

The live chat erupted again, with gift effects flooding the screen.

Shen Zhe watched as Jiang Miaozhi skillfully managed the atmosphere in the live stream, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes, but more so, a sense of accustomedness.

He knew that this exaggerated performance was just Jiang Miaozhi's protective shell and working method.

In reality, this seemingly crazy female anchor possesses extremely keen combat instincts and superhuman strength, making her one of the organization's top operatives.

Despite his imposing stature, he is actually skilled in intelligence analysis, technical support, and various auxiliary spells.

On the surface, the two are paranormal news anchors, but in reality, they are a secret investigation team dispatched to Japan by relevant domestic departments, specifically responsible for monitoring and handling abnormal events involving supernatural forces, especially those major hidden dangers that may threaten national security.

Now, Japan's renewed "god-making project" is the core objective of their current mission.

They had even successfully escorted a research director who had defected from the project back to his country, and obtained some key intelligence from him.

"As the god-making plan progresses, the waters in Kyushu are getting deeper and deeper. The Japanese government is making quite a splash this time, and we're probably in for a tough fight," Shen Zhe whispered again, while zooming in on the map on his tablet to mark several possible infiltration routes and risk areas.

“I’ve planned several alternative routes, but all of them require on-site inspection. And…”

He pointed to a faint, flickering signal on the screen: "We may not be the only 'visitors.' There is another unidentified force moving toward Mt. Mikazuki. Satellite monitoring shows that its energy response is very strong, but its nature is unknown."

Jiang Miaozhi's smile remained unchanged, but a sharp glint flashed in her eyes: "Oh? Another colleague? Interesting. Whatever, we'll deal with whatever comes our way! Let's see who they are. Maybe we can even glean some extra intelligence!"

She waved the mini trident prop in her hand at the camera: "Don't worry, everyone! With me and this tough bodyguard next to me, we're not afraid of any monsters or demons! We'll bring you the most exciting first-hand adventure footage!"

The live stream continued, with Jiang Miaozhi interacting with the audience using her infectious Northeastern accent and exaggerated body language, as if what followed was just an ordinary adventure.

But under the warm lights of the café, a layer of solemnity had settled over the eyes of this seemingly mismatched pair.

Jiang Miaozhi and Shen Zhe are both experienced veterans. They are well aware that the Mikazuki Mountain mentioned in the intelligence is not only a key node in the mission, but also a vortex center full of crises and multiple forces.

Although their mission was merely to gather intelligence, once they arrived at that location, the specific circumstances were beyond their control.
