Chapter 26 Searching for Misaki
Now, players like Ji Yi face multiple choices.

First, you must complete the main storyline, "Misaki's Prayer," which involves finding and killing the culprit in the serial disappearances of young girls.

The culprit is the "Hundred-Eyed Demon King". If you can kill him, you can clear the game directly.

Then there are two optional main quests.

The dark side of Kuchiba City needs to be revealed to the outside world.

Of course, this mission doesn't necessarily require them to leave this place; as long as they can find a means of communication, that's enough.

【Redemption】Requires exploring the past of each individual's identity, achieving spiritual redemption, and then escaping from the City of Decay.

"How about," Tang Hulu looked at the quest panel, his face grim, "we find an opportunity to kill the Hundred-Eyed Demon King, complete the main quest directly, and skip the other two?"

On the highway, cars were moving much slower.

The driver was changed from Miss Cat to Ji Yi.

"That's easy for you to say. How do you plan to kill me?"

Ji Yi glanced at the idiot in the rearview mirror.

Sometimes you really can't have high expectations for Tang Hulu's intelligence.

How exactly did he level up to level 12?

"Hey, you surnamed Cun."

He kicked the village hill beside his feet.

“My surname is not Cun, my surname is Cunshan.”

"Almost. Since you know so much about the inside story, tell us how to deal with the Hundred-Eyed Demon King. Also, how does this ghost story world and the normal world work? And how does Misaki usually keep the Hundred-Eyed Demon King in check?"

"How to deal with the Hundred-Eyed Demon King? I'd like to know that too. He's the king of Kuchiba City. If we want to kill him, we'll have to find a master outside of Kuchiba City."

After saying that, he seemed to think for a moment, then continued:
"Perhaps Misaki has a way. She acts as a check on the ghost story world, preventing the Hundred-Eyed Demon King from growing stronger and also preventing the creation of more ghost stories in this world."

"However, she is also deeply trapped here and unable to leave. The Hundred-Eyed Demon King is even less likely to let her go to the real world, so a delicate balance of power has been formed between the two sides."

Tang Hulu understood: "So that's how it is. Our appearance has disrupted this balance, which is why the Hundred-Eyed Demon King sent out strange tales and set traps to deal with us."

"Yes."

Murayama responded.

"Anyway, we need to contact Misaki first."

Ji Yi took out the [broken telephone receiver] from her inventory.

It's still bad.

"Hey, you surnamed Cun, do you have Misaki's phone number?"

Murayama: "."

"How about we go check the red phone booth again?"

Miss Cat, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke.

Ji Yi pursed her lips: "That place is too close to the school. What if the Hundred-Eyed Demon King comes back?"

"But there's no other way, is there?"

Ji Yi pondered for a moment, then kicked Murayama again: "Will the Hundred-Eyed Demon King still come after us?"

"I don't think so in the short term. He will most likely win his battle against Genmao, but he will also definitely get injured. In this situation, the balance between him and Misaki will also be affected. He will be too busy to take care of himself, so it will be much harder for him to cause you any more trouble."

"Row."

Ji Yi felt much relieved.

Turn back and go find the red telephone booth.

On the way, the four of them switched to a car with a full tank of gas and drove back on the highway.

The car drove for a while.

"Ji Yi, stop the car. I need to get off here."

Zhuge Dengpao suddenly said.

The three of them looked at him, all with puzzled expressions.

"What, is there buried treasure here? Or a rendezvous with an old flame? Or is it a female ghost?"

When Ji Yi said the second half of the sentence, Tang Hulu trembled a few times for some reason.

"Neither. Before the gathering, you all completed side quests, while I spent the time investigating the original owner's identity. I'm already confident about the [Atonement] quest."

Ji Yi: "Okay, I got it. Don't try to make up for not doing the side quests. We won't look down on you because of that, we're all your brothers Ji."

As she spoke, Ji Yi had already stopped the car.

"."

I really hate you.

Zhuge said coldly.

He got out of the car.

The car door slammed shut with a loud bang.

His departing figure exuded elegance and style. He stepped on an empty soda can on the street.

"Damn, who drank Coke and littered like that? So rude!"

His leather shoes got stuck in the can, and he had to kick it a few times to finally fling the can away.

Tang Hulu: "This kick ushered in the entire height of summer."

The three of them drove for a while longer.

Miss Cat suddenly said, "I think I should also do a redemption mission. I have some ideas, so I'll leave them here."

Ji Yi hesitated for a moment, then let Miss Cat get out of the car as well.

"Hey, the main characters getting separated and killed one by one is a standard plot in horror movies!"

Miss Cat also got out of the car, and Tang Hulu felt a sudden drop in his sense of security.

After all, she drives really fast.

"Alright, stop making predictions that backfire. I'm starting to wonder if you're really stupid or just pretending."

Tang Hulu revealed a wise look in his eyes: "Huh?"

"Judging from your expression, you probably don't plan to do the atonement mission, right? That's fine, I'm not doing it either. Let's work together, two people and five heads, what do you have to be afraid of?"

Tang Hulu: "Huh? How is five heads calculated?"

"Including the small village."

"Oh, that's how it is."

It's not surprising that writer Murayama is included.

Wait, it still feels weird.

Before he could figure out the logic, Ji Yi had already stopped the car and turned off the engine.

"We've arrived, let's go."

Ji Yi picked up Murayama's head and opened the car door.

Tang Hulu immediately got out of the car as well.

Ahead on the road, a striking splash of bright red stands out starkly against the gray streetscape.

Ji Yi took out the broken telephone receiver and looked at Murayama.

"You're an electrician, right? Can you fix telephone lines?"

Murayama: "I am a writer. The ability to manipulate electricity and control objects is something I gained after becoming a ghost story."

"So, do you even know how to fix a telephone line?"

".meeting."

"He's still an electrician."

"."

At that moment, Ji Yi caught a glimpse of Tang Hulu beside her, who was covering his mouth with both hands, his face turning red.

"What's so funny? Are you possessed by a ghost?"

"Pfft-"

Tang Hulu finally couldn't hold back: "Hahahaha!"

Ji Yi was completely baffled.

"I laugh so hard. Just thinking about how Mr. Murayama ran to the gymnasium, turned on the lights, set up a stage, and waited to show off when we went to fight the headless demon makes me laugh so hard!"

"puff--"

Ji Yi couldn't help herself either.

Murayama: "."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the phone booth.

Murayama used the power of ghost stories to easily reconnect the telephone line, restoring it to its original, pristine condition.

but.

The phone booth is still not working properly.

"So it still doesn't work?"

Ji Yi was in a dilemma.

He and Tang Hulu squeezed into the phone booth and studied it for more than ten minutes.

"By the way, I didn't even notice, where did Misaki's body go?"

He remembered that after he and Miss Cat assembled Misaki, they placed it next to the phone booth.

Just thinking about it.

A little girl's face.

Suddenly, it hung upside down on the glass wall of the phone booth!
