There was a blue light there, which had existed since the moment the little boy appeared. Through that light, Ito Jun saw a dim night scene, which seemed to be the ruins of an amusement park or something like that.

The little boy and Mitsui's bodies passed through the light and disappeared in an instant. Misaki missed them and her body was hanging on the swing.

When vision returned to normal, everyone could only see Misaki lying on the swing; the little boy and Mitsui were nowhere to be seen.

"Mitsui!"

Shikino's eyebrows twitched a few times, and he showed an unhappy expression.

"Are you kidding me?"

Although he said this, Shikino did not take a step towards the swing.

On the surface, Mitsui seemed to be playing a prank with the boy in yellow.

But it was just once. Shikino didn't think Mitsui would play any more pranks after Sato.

Following Shikino's instructions, everyone searched the nearby bushes, but there was indeed a big problem here. After searching for more than ten minutes, there was no trace of Sato and Mitsui.

This is a natural phenomenon.

"Senior, what do you think?"

Akari followed behind Ito Jun, looking around vigilantly as she asked mysteriously.

"It was indeed a supernatural phenomenon. I didn't see Sato clearly at that time, but Mitsui was indeed hidden by the spirit."

"What should we do? Can we save Sato and Mitsui?"

Ito Jun told her about his discovery, and Akari asked worriedly.

"I am afraid……"

"I should have been the one to go. After all, I know karate."

Ito Jun was about to say something but stopped. Akari immediately understood Ito Jun's subtext. Her face turned ugly and she said with some regret.

"Don't say such irrational things. If you don't understand Machio's ability, you will get into trouble if you rush in casually."

Ito Jun shook his head.

Machio is a new monster with no information and unknown attack methods. If you don't send others to help him first, no matter how powerful he is, he may fail.

"Senior, have you figured out how to crack Machio?"

Akari's eyes were bright, full of trust and expectations for Ito Jun.

"I have only guessed at Machio's abilities. The first is confusion. Most ghost stories have this characteristic. The second is disappearance. He will take people into another world. The maximum he can capture should be one person. Otherwise, he would not escape."

Based on Macchio's performance, Ito Jun speculated on its possible powers and limitations.

"Most importantly, it doesn't seem to have direct lethality. The solution is that one of us acts as bait to lure out Macchio. The other one will attack, and I'll use these two eyes to observe."

"Eye?"

"It's equivalent to the art of seeing ghosts. Without these eyes staring at it, the monsters can't be harmed."

Ito Jun revealed his cards to everyone. As they were in the same supernatural club, there were some things that Ito Jun would have to let Akari know sooner or later, lest she acted arrogantly without knowing anything and brought disaster upon herself.

The more you know, the faster you die. If you know too little, you will also die easily.

"That's amazing. The seniors really have a lot of experience in this area."

Qianli said admiringly.

"Experience... I have quite a bit."

When he came to his senses, he realized that it had only been less than two weeks since he traveled through time, and he had already encountered many supernatural events, it felt like one every two days.

Fortunately, he had Sadako to tie the knot with him, otherwise he didn't know whether he could live for another month.

After a while, the people who were divided into several groups to look for Mitsui returned to the sand in front of the swing.

"I don't think Mitsui and Sato can run that fast, right?"

Yamashita said this hesitantly, implying that he thought Mitsui and Sato were not joking but something really happened.

"I thought so too."

Shikino looked serious, examining the swing that had stopped swinging, and spoke in a low voice.

"Everyone, I have some important news to tell you. Maybe, Macchio really exists."

"Mitsui and Sato were taken away by Machio?!"

Koizumi felt fear and his legs began to tremble.

"Let's go quickly, it's too unsafe here."

Yamashita suggested hastily.

"Are you going to abandon Mitsui and Sato?" Shikino opened his eyes wide, looked at Koizumi and Sato indignantly, and accused them in an unbelievable tone, "Abandoning our companions and standing up for the great goal of the Psychic Club! I never thought that you would be such people."

"That's not the case, President. We don't want to abandon Mitsui and Sato, but they are missing."

"Yes, even if we stay, more people will be sacrificed."

"We are considering the president's safety."

"The sacrifices of Mitsui and Sato were meaningful."

Facing Shikino's accusations, Koizumi and Yamashita hurriedly explained that because of Shikino's aura, they had completely forgotten that it was Shikino who caused the deaths of Mitsui and Sato.

"I agree with the president. We can't just abandon Mitsui and Sato. They may not be unsalvageable."

Akari supports Shikino. Her attributes are probably all focused on her physical condition. She is not very smart, even worse than Ito Jun, and she doesn't see Shikino's true nature at all.

"Isn't that right, Senior?"

Ito Jun was sighing inwardly when Akari suddenly turned around and asked him.

"Hmm? Ah, yes, maybe."

Ito Jun was stunned for a moment and spoke vaguely.

"Seto, why do you call him senpai?"

Shikino narrowed his eyes and asked Akari.

"You missed the point, didn't you?"

Ito Jun couldn't help but complain.

"Because you are a senior in the field of psychic, didn't the president bring you into the psychic department because he knew your talent?"

Akari answered seriously.

So that's what they said...

Ito Jun looked at Shikino.

"Oh, of course. I have an excellent eye. Ito and Misaki are both talents I recruited into the Psychic Club."

Shikino put his fist to his mouth and spoke in a pretentious manner.

"I have discussed this with my seniors. There is a way to crack Machio..."

Akari repeated what she had said to Ito Jun.

"That is to say, one person will go and push Macchio forward first, and then Ito, you keep an eye on Macchio while Seto takes action."

After listening to Akane's words, Shikino made a summary.

"And Misaki, she can come too."

Ito Jun added.

Judging from the close combat ability that Misaki has shown, it is estimated that she is not much worse than Akane.

"So, who's going to lure out Macchio?"

Shikino asked the most crucial question, his eyes moving between Yamashita and Koizumi.

In an instant, Koizumi and Yamashita felt cold all over and cold sweat broke out on their heads.

“This, that, is it really possible?”

"Let's go back first and call the police to find professionals tomorrow."

Facing Shikino's gaze, Yamashita laughed dryly and Koizumi avoided his gaze.

Chapter 76: Friends + Old Seal + Crowbar

It is impossible for Shikino and Tomie to be baits. Everyone else has their own tasks. This life-threatening mission can only be given to Koizumi and Yamashita.

However, with the previous experience of Mitsui and Sato as a precedent, how could Koizumi and Yamashita agree so easily?

"The police may not believe us. If we continue to delay, we may only find the bodies of Mitsui and Sato."

Shikino deliberately made the matter sound serious, and in fact, it was that serious.

Koizumi and Yamashita stood there with awkward smiles, refusing to agree.

"It seems that I have to play my trump card."

Ito Jun unzipped his tennis bag and reached in to feel around.

Shikino, Akari and others looked at Ito Jun curiously, only to see Ito Jun take out a star-shaped stone from his bag.

"Senior, what is this? A talisman?"

Akari guessed it right away, and Ito Jun nodded.

"This is called the Old Seal. It's a very effective amulet. If you take this, you won't have to be afraid of monsters."

"Never heard of it, Ito."

Yamashita looked at Ito Jun with pleading eyes, begging him to stop causing trouble. After all, they were friends, so there was no need to sit back and watch him die, right?

“You’ll know if it works or not after you give it a try.”

"Ito, don't do this, don't come near me."

Ito Jun strode towards Misaki, and Misaki stepped back in panic, as if she had seen something terrible.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just demonstrating it to you all, Akari, grab her!"

Akari rushed towards Misaki with swift movements and grabbed Misaki who was trying to run away. Misaki struggled hard, and the strength that burst out of her body made Akari look surprised.

Ito Jun rushed forward quickly, rolled up Misaki's sleeves, and pressed the old seal on her.

"Ah! It hurts!"

Misaki screamed and her violently struggling body pushed Akari away. Ito Jun hurriedly stepped back, with his left hand on his waist. If Misaki jumped up, he would immediately draw his gun and shoot.

Fortunately, Misaki's reaction was not so extreme. She covered her right arm where the old seal had pressed, with a painful expression on her face.

"Misaki is a child raised by ghosts, similar to a half-demon like Inuyasha, and can also be harmed by the old seal. Misaki, put your hands down."

Ito Jun looked at Misaki coldly. Misaki lowered her head and put her hands down. A star-shaped burn scar could be seen on her fair skin.

"Unexpectedly..."

"Ito, you left a scar on Misaki-san!"

Ito Jun's eyelids twitched.

“Pay attention to the key points!”

"Scars are very serious for girls."

Shikino looked relaxed, as if he had already figured out the current situation.

"I'm sorry, Misaki-san, but you're really strong."

An apologetic smile appeared on Qianli's face.

"It's okay. I don't care about the scars or anything. I hope Itou-san will let me take a bite."
