Chapter 12 Lifting the Curse
Open your inventory and learn the skill card.

【Name: Sealing Technique - Ghostly Photo】

[Skill Card Attribute: Active skill, disappears after two uses]

[Effect: Can seal weaker evil spirits and strange tales. The stronger the target, the higher the probability of failure. If successful, the photo can be torn up for a one-time summoning and control.]

Learning requirements: None

[Note: I have a bold idea now: which is better, Sadako or Kayako? What, you say you choose Toshio?]

From taking out the skill card to learning and activating it, Ji Yi's movements were very swift and efficient.

[Sealing Technique - Ghostly Photograph: Activation Failed]

[Sealing Technique - Ghostly Photograph: Activated Successfully]

Sizzle—splat.

The streetlights overhead turned on, dispelling the darkness.

Looking at the street in front of me, the lights that were originally dark have all come on.

At this moment, Ji Yi had something in her hand.

A completely black photograph.

If you look closely under the light, you can see that the photo shows the face of a little boy.

This face belongs to Suzuki Shota, who was the original form of the Dark Demon in his previous life.

"That little bastard is pretty hard to catch. I used up one of my skill cards as soon as I left the house."

I put away the photos and continued running towards the phone booth.

The streets remained quiet.

When Ji Yi arrived near the red telephone booth.

From afar, one could see a scene of utter carnage, a bloody mess.

Keep running.

"Hoo-ha. Hoo-ha-ha."

Only upon closer inspection did he confirm that none of the ghost stories were still active on the field.

Although I don't know what happened, I should be safe now.

The corrupted black cat was nowhere to be seen, and the dismembered ghost was completely dead.

Ji Yi adjusted her breathing, slowed her pace, and shouted:
"Miss Cat?"

The door inside the red telephone booth was pushed open.

A beautiful figure dressed in a Japanese JK uniform walked out of the phone booth.

She had long hair past her shoulders, and her cheeks were styled in a princess cut. She had a cute appearance, which was quite different from the impression she gave me on the phone.

"Oh right, the body in the dungeon isn't the real person."

Ji Yi looked at Miss Cat's chest.

It's clearly not the same as the one in the shadow; it's three sizes smaller.

"Why is Mr. Giba staring at me so lewdly? His expression is so disgusting, like a perverted stalker stalking a high school girl."

As Miss Cat spoke, she crossed her hands in front of her chest.

Please don't hurt me, I'll do anything.

She read aloud, her face expressionless.

"."

Ji Yi was speechless.

"Don't let my current appearance fool you, I'm much more handsome in real life."

"Mr. Giba really knows how to praise himself."

"Girls should refrain from swearing. You know perfectly well how to pronounce my name."

"You deliberately chose this name to make people misunderstand, didn't you? Abstract and silly netizens like to do this."

"When I entered the game, my default username was my real name."

".?"

Xie Jiayi was stunned for a moment. Real name?

Immediately, he burst out laughing.

Ji Yi scratched his head; this woman's sense of humor was really strange.

"Alright, I'm not going to argue with you anymore. What happened just now? Where's the black cat?"

Miss Cat straightened her expression:

"It was surrounded by the dismembered demons and died again. After killing all the dismembered demons, it ran away."

"tsk"

Ji Yi's expression was solemn.

In other words, the Black Cat has already reached the seventh level of corruption.

This is a very dangerous thing. Once it only has one life left and reaches the eighth level of corruption, the difficulty of clearing the game will increase by another level.

"It probably didn't want to hurt you, so it ran away on its own. Perhaps the identity of your body is related to that cat," Ji Yi speculated.

“Yes.” Miss Cat nodded. “I found this when I was looking for Misaki’s body.”

She took a photograph out of her pocket.

It was a photo of a girl holding a black cat.

The girl's appearance is exactly like Miss Cat now.

"Her name is Hirano Miyuki, and she's a high school student. I think the identities we're playing are closely related to the ghost stories of this world."

Miss Cat's words made Ji Yi fall into deep thought:
"It's possible, but there are too few clues right now, and there's no conclusive evidence yet."

Miss Cat picked up the conversation: "Hirano Miyuki's younger sister, Hirano Yuuki, attended Sakurayama Elementary School and was also one of the victims of the serial disappearances of young girls back then, so my speculation should not be considered unfounded."

Ji Yi frowned.

"Is that so? It seems this instance is more complicated than I imagined."

Take a long breath.

"Let's take care of what's in front of us first, and take your shadow back."

"Ok?"

Miss Cat made a pleasant, questioning sound.

Her gaze fell on Ji Yi's feet.

"Mr. Ji Yi didn't use my shadow to do anything strange, did he?"

Miss Cat tilted her head slightly and asked.

"Of course not."

Just enjoy the mountain scenery.

"But I just felt a pain in my chest, do you have any ideas?"

"I ran here, that's a bit of a stretch... By the way, do the feelings of a shadow also affect you?"

"should be."

Miss Cat said as she walked over.

The instant she stepped on the shadow of the ground.

A tall shadow clung to her eerily, slowly moving to her feet.

At the same time, the originally shapely figure gradually became more like Hirano Miyuki's, becoming much shorter and her chest several sizes smaller.

"That solves the problem, thank you. By the way, where's your shadow?"

Ji Yi said helplessly, "It was taken by the Dark Ghost, but it doesn't matter."

He explained what had happened to Miss Cat.

Summoning the Dark Ghost just to retrieve its shadow is a bit of a waste.

It's still a combat unit, so it's better to keep it and make the most of it. Shadow wasn't in a hurry to take it back.

"Then, the most important thing now is to put Misaki's body back together."

Miss Cat and Ji Yi reached an agreement.

The two walked to the red telephone booth.

Each person removed their body parts.

The "Next Time Forever" buff targets the original location where the corpse was hidden.

It's not that Ji Yi can't reach the bodies no matter where they are, so there's no need to worry about them disappearing.

Misaki's torso was covered in a dirty elementary school uniform.

Looking up, his face was a little dirty, and his expression was as calm as if he were sleeping.

Misaki Maeda was indeed a very cute girl, but the tragic scene was too shocking to describe.

Ji Yi didn't want to look any longer and moved her hands quickly.

He collaborated with Miss Cat to piece together Misaki's limbs, finally creating a complete body.

"Okay, let's wait for the Dark Archmage to come out."

Miss Cat dusted off her hands and looked at the fruits of her labor on the ground with satisfaction.

"That thing can't be changed, but Maeda Misaki's vengeful spirit might come out."

[Misaki's curse has been lifted]

Ji Yi's eyes lit up:
"It's a success, Misaki's curse has been lifted."

"So easy?" Miss Cat was somewhat surprised. "Then we just leave the body here and don't care about it?"

"That should be the case. In any case, we can breathe a sigh of relief."

Ji Yi said.

"Ring ring ring ring ring!!!"

suddenly,

A strange, piercing ringtone came from the receiver!
