In Tokyo, the dungeon master

Shirakawa Manka wasn't saying she wanted to reconcile with her father right now, but faced with such a major event, she still had an instinctive urge to call her parents.

Ultimately, in her mind, her father was extremely rich. In modern society, being extremely rich means that there are few things he can't do; he is a powerful and invincible person.

Moreover, Japan is a semi-colonial, semi-feudal, and semi-capitalist society, and the Shirakawa family, apart from not being American, possesses both of these other powers.

From childhood to adulthood, in Shirakawa Manka's memory, there were very few things her parents wanted to do but couldn't do—except for her mother's death. Even invincible power can fall in the face of death.

She dared to defy her father not because she thought he was too old or that the power of the Shirakawa family was insufficient. Shirakawa Manka subconsciously understood that this power could not harm her, who was now effectively the head of the Shirakawa family after her mother's death.

Perhaps even the extraordinary would use this invincible power in modern society.

Gu Meng could understand; it was only natural for a person to think that way, and he couldn't blame his wife for it.

Once Gu Meng accepted that his wife was a typical inferior person, he would no longer be annoyed by her inferior thinking.

"Don't notify him for now; I'll observe him myself first."

Gu Meng really needs to take a good look at the old master of the Shirakawa family, Shirakawa Keiji.

Since he is a son-in-law who has entered the family, there is no blood or karmic connection between them, so he probably has no value in being seeded—there is also a very small chance that he is born with the determination of a strong person and excellent aptitude. Gu Meng took all the factors into consideration and decided to let him become a magic elder, but of course, the probability is extremely small.

However, not being eligible to be seeded doesn't mean they have no value. If they have enough money and ability, they are still somewhat qualified to clean up Gu Meng's mess.

"More than focusing on your father's affairs, you should concentrate on yourself and be prepared for any eventuality; a crisis could strike very soon."

Compared to Lao Deng, Gu Meng's main focus was on this mother and daughter.

Gu Meng always moves very quickly. Many preparations for the battle stage were completed within two days, and the actors were also in place.

【Dark World】The main ability is to create dungeon spaces, but related products can also be created, though they are not real and are mostly temporary imitations.

For Gu Meng, it wasn't as useful as a quill pen, which could directly generate magical items and potions.

Books and pens each have their advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, the book, which currently possesses the power of the universe, is more suitable for Gu Meng. Moreover, the Ancestral Pen's function of extracting extraordinary items and converting them into energy is essentially useless in this world; without energy, there are no magic potions.

It's like having a cheat code that can turn waste pills into immortal pills, but you don't actually travel to a world of immortals and heroes.

"Crisis...you mean those demons and monsters...Master, what should we do?"

"Before you become a fully-fledged magical girl, I'll step in... I'll do my best."

Gu Meng was considering whether to give it one last try. If this alternate account pretended to sacrifice itself and went offline, would Mrs. Shirakawa have a chance to develop the heart of a strong person?

Gu Meng is currently only at level one, and Bai Chuan Wan Hua's power of imagination is naturally sufficient. With Gu Meng's abilities, it would be easy for him to raise his wife to level three if he had magic power, but there are still things to consider in the future.

Let's wait and see. As things stand, Gu Meng doesn't think Shirakawa Manka can go very far.

But since it's the first seed, it's different, and Gu Meng is willing to do his best.

At this moment, Shirakawa Manka seemed to suddenly remember something important, and abruptly turned to look at Gu Meng beside her, her tone uncertain:

"By the way, Master, could those demons and monsters hide in those real haunted places? Could there be magic there too? I know there's an abandoned school in Kawasaki with a really scary urban legend about it..."

In Kawasaki, there's a middle school that's recently been abandoned...

Strange noises would only be heard from the school on rainy evenings, as if they were saying something about not going to school... It was said that such rumors started after a girl committed suicide by jumping off a building.

The abandoned school building sometimes has a few lights on. The windows are long since broken, but you can see blurry shadows moving inside. If anyone gets close to the school, they will hear strange singing, or they will be blocked by an invisible force and unable to go in...

Although I haven't seen any of these places myself, many exorcists have gone there to film programs, and it seems that some strange events have indeed occurred there.

...And actually, I went to Kawasaki once to check my Shirakawa Eye. I might not have seen it clearly, but I did feel a chill in my body. Everyone said there was something wrong with the magnetic field there, but at the time I just thought it was my imagination..."

Shirakawa Manka seemed to feel a lingering fear and shuddered. She and her daughter were both the kind of people who were all talk and no action, but her fear was more severe, so she would not take the initiative to perform any supernatural rituals. At that time, she had only taken a glimpse of it from afar during the day.

Now that my worldview has changed, the option of "ghosts exist, though they are rare" has been added to my understanding, making previously ordinary memories feel real.

The abandoned schools, deserted paths, and hospital morgues in my memory all seem much darker now, as if they've been filtered through the lens of the BBC's underworld.

Gu Meng remained noncommittal.

He first looked at Shirakawa Manka's eyes. They were indeed no ordinary eyes. Although they had lost many functions due to the dormancy of the Great Source, they were still treasures that allowed mortals to "see".

Now that his wife has become a mature magical woman, she can see through many illusions with a little magic. Fortunately, the [Dark Seed] is one with her, so what she sees is what she thinks. With a little guidance, Gu Meng can prevent her from seeing through it, otherwise it would be a problem. Gu Meng doesn't want to ruin these eyes and waste their potential.

Although they possessed the Dragon-Slaying Saber, there were no dragons in the world. The mother and daughter, despite having such eyes, had never seen a ghost.

I don't know whether to call it lucky or unlucky.

However, regarding the matter at that school, since she didn't actually see anything with her eye roll, and so many exorcists appearing on TV shows... it was probably all just hype. There are no real newborn ghosts in this world.

Even so, this isn't something that can't be used. We could follow the wife's imagination... Maybe we could use that abandoned school with the "no-school" ghost story to set up a stage... But Kawasaki is too remote, let's think about it later.

"Master, what do you think?"

Thinking of the terrifying ghost, Shirakawa Manka reached out to grab Gu Meng's arm, but forgot that Gu Meng was also a ghost, and ended up grabbing nothing.

"I'll sit and watch. I've only just arrived in this world myself. Although the Great Origin of this world has not yet recovered, and it will be some time before the environment can produce spirits, but, what if..."

It's not impossible, really. Since people with special constitutions like Shirakawa Manka exist, perhaps... no, the possibility is still too low.

In this environment, it's understandable that people with special bloodlines can still exist, but how could real ghosts exist? The existence of ghosts is almost equivalent to acknowledging magic, which is a fantasy. The two situations cannot be generalized at all.

The ghost, Gu Meng, was deep in thought.

"What? Is that really possible...?"

Shirakawa Manka's expression changed drastically, and her tone became more tense.

Of course, she didn't realize that Gu Meng was saying one thing but meaning another, and was just going along with her.

Immediately, she became alert, pressing her left hand against the back of her right hand and quickly looking around as if some supernatural phenomenon was occurring.
