You say this is a love game?

"It turns out the Drowned Zombies had been deceiving him the entire time. He was already dead the moment he was dragged to the bottom of the sea. The subsequent events were nothing more than lies the Drowned Zombies had told him, tricking him into believing he was still alive. They then used the contract between them to transform him into a ghost and murder even more people."

The ending of this story made the little god of fortune become emo.

"Brother, this ending is so sad."

"is it?"

"Well, even the boy in the story is innocent, right? Even if he had the idea of ​​living a miserable life, he had a change of heart at the last moment... He's actually a good person, but he died from the beginning, and then was deceived and almost made a big mistake..."

Yoshiko Satori's personality is really easy to understand.

She always likes beautiful stories, but feels sad about some sad stories. This simple childlike mentality is her most basic foundation.

Makoto Mizutani gently stroked the top of Satori Yoshiko's head, an action he now performed with particular skill.

"That's why someone has to stand up and avenge this young man, right?"

The little god of fortune immediately clenched his fists.

"Big brother is right!"

She, Satori Yoshiko! is not some indecisive little fool!

Distinguish clearly between right and wrong, punish evil and promote good.

No one is allowed to say black is white, and no one is allowed to slander white as black!

We must help the good with all our heart, and strike hard against the evil!

Such values ​​can never be wrong!

This is also the idea she shares with her older brother.

Mizutani Makoto rubbed his chin, thinking: "Judging from the requirements of this mission, someone must have fallen for it."

"Has another ghost story escaped?"

"No, there's no urgent mission this time. It shouldn't be a ghost story escape."

"This situation is more like the Staircase Ghost Incident that happened last month. The ghost's main body is still in the crack, but its hand briefly reaches out into the real world, scoops up the soul, and runs away."

"So, this incident hasn't risen to the level of a Rift Invasion. It's likely a separate act of a contracted ghost story. It appeared in the human world at some point, killed someone, and then struck a deal with them to sacrifice more souls to it."

Mizutani Makoto easily analyzed the current situation.

The intersection of the rift and the present world is at Yomi High School, so all the previous ghost stories appeared at Yomi High School. So the contract ghost stories are definitely no exception, and the scope of the victims can be narrowed down to this school.

"One more thing... This strange story's method of killing people involves sacrificing them through a swimming pool."

"There hasn't been any news related to swimming lessons at school recently."

"In other words, its contract with the people of this world was probably established recently and has not yet been put into practice."

Mizutani Makoto thought about it and quickly made up his mind.

"We must find this person."

As for how to find the person who signed the contract, it is actually not difficult.

"Jiazi, I'll leave it to you when the time comes."

Yoshiko Satori clenched her fists and nodded her head very seriously.

It has been demonstrated before - due to her experience as a vengeful spirit, Satori Yoshiko has the ability to sense life force compared to ordinary Zashiki-warashi. She used this to judge Mizutani Makoto's safety, and now she can also use the breath of life force to judge whether people are dead or alive.

Let's make one thing clear.

The student who had made an agreement with the Contract Ghost Story must be dead.

It’s just that the dead people haven’t realized that they are dead yet. Now they are being kept in the dark by ghost stories and are gradually walking towards the abyss of ghosts.

Tomorrow, Makoto Mizutani plans to bring Satori Yoshiko to Yomi High School. By then, relying on Satori Yoshiko's sensory ability, they should be able to find the drowned person quickly.

However, this mission not only requires him to resolve this agreement, but also requires him to resolve the contract ghost story in the swimming pool.

Drowning is easy to deal with, but contract ghost stories...

"Does it really rely on pure numerical crushing?"

Thinking of Kurosawa Ryohito's suggestion, Mizutani Makoto couldn't help but sigh.

If he had that kind of knowledge, he would have jumped into the swimming pool and twisted off the heads of the drowned corpses and cast them into a Jingguan. Would he need Lao Hei to give him advice?

"We have to find a way, otherwise the progress will be stuck."

Mizutani Makoto glanced at his task interface. All his tasks were now stuck. Either there were not enough clues, or the combat power was not enough, or like the side quest of the Tatar, he was simply confused and had no idea what to do.

Now that he has a rare new task, he still has to study it carefully.

“Go check out the forum.”

The "forum" that Mizutani Makoto mentioned is the "Exorcist Forum".

This was shared with him by Miyamizu Inaba.

According to Miyamizu Inaba, this forum is not open to ordinary people. If you want to join it, you must obtain account qualifications.

The so-called "account qualification" can be obtained through recommendations from other exorcists.

Makoto Mizutani obtained the link from Inaba Miyamizu, and also obtained the account qualifications from Inaba Miyamizu.

What’s interesting is that it’s very troublesome to obtain the account qualifications of an exorcist. You need someone to guide you in, but after entering, the process of creating an account is extremely simple. You don’t even need to register your school or expertise. You can enter directly as long as you pick an ID.

It's not even a real-name system.

But soon, Mizutani Makoto was browsing the personal profile interface and saw the two options "Official Exorcist Registration" and "Private Exorcist Registration", and suddenly realized the operating logic of this forum.

It seems that his current account is "Visitor"!

The purpose of this forum is to bring together all exorcists, real or fake—at least those who can experience supernatural powers—so that the authorities can better manage these individuals. The "Exorcist Registration" system will then sort out genuine exorcists, distinguishing between official and private forces.

Oh, and there are tourists like him who have no status.

Click on the friend request and, according to Miyamizu Inaba's previous message, apply to add him as a friend.

This girl's ID is still [Inaba]. It seems that she is a ruthless person who uses the same ID for all her accounts on the Internet.

But what surprised Mizutani Makoto was that Miyamizu Inaba was also a "tourist".

She was not registered as an official exorcist, nor was she registered as a folk exorcist.

Mizutani Makoto has looked it up. The simplest registration is to register as a folk exorcist. This path only requires you to roughly explain where your master is, or what your master's teachings are, and how strong you are now. Then you rush to the local exorcist organization to take a basic spiritual power test. If you pass, you are naturally a folk exorcist.

The official path is more complicated and involves more assessments.

But Miyamizu Inaba didn’t register?

Isn’t that just a folk savage?

Mizutani Makoto has no intention of registering yet. His attention has now shifted to the forum. Even as a visitor, there will be no restrictions on posting and reading functions.

That's great.

However, this place doesn't seem to take care of newbies...

Mizutani Makoto posted a help post on the forum, roughly describing how to deal with underwater ghost stories, but no one responded after waiting for more than ten minutes... It might also be that the time he chose was too abstract, and no one would care about a newbie's post late at night.

But suddenly a pop-up message appeared in the upper right corner.

In Mizutani Makoto's friend list, the friend request sent to Miyamizu Inaba was approved.

No, Miyamizu Inaba is still awake?

At the same time, Mizutani Makoto's phone also vibrated. The Line contact sent him a message, it was Miyamizu Inaba.

[Inaba: Mizutani-senpai, you're still awake?]

[Blue-haired water monster: You haven't slept either, what a coincidence.]

As they were chatting, Mizutani Makoto suddenly became distracted and realized something.

Wait, isn’t he just thinking about how to seek help from “professionals”?

Miyamizu Inaba, who was chatting with him, was a professional exorcist with three years of experience!

Mizutani Makoto's face was solemn.

[Blue-haired water monster: Miyamizu-senpai, I have something I want to ask you.]

【Inaba:......】

Inaba: Mizutani-senpai, just call me Miyamizu...

【Inaba: (Fear JPG)】

Chapter 122 His corpse is speaking.

late at night.

Gong Shui Daoyu had not slept yet either.

After separating, someone directly imitated the fish's memory, turned around and continued to kill in the crevice.

Although Miyamizu Inaba's life is not as extreme as Mizutani Makoto's, she doesn't sleep for long either. Relying on the vigorous energy brought by the demon blood, she usually doesn't lie down until two or three in the morning to enjoy the tranquility brought by sleep.

Especially tonight, although she did not experience a shocking battle, she finally used the blood-to-blade technique. No matter what, the amount of bleeding was huge enough to kill an ordinary person. Even she would need an hour or two of rest to fully recover.

Now the symptoms of anemia have subsided a lot and my mind is clearer.

I am alone with a pen and a bottle of fat otaku happy water, planning to create a miracle for the student party in one night.

So, even if Mizutani Makoto had already wandered around in the cracks and came out again, she could still reply to his message late at night.

An old-fashioned oscillating fan blew slowly on the ceiling, and the hem of the school uniform hanging by the window swayed gently in the wind.

The curtains were mint green. As the end of the month approached, the frequency of the plum rains gradually decreased, replaced by the occasional chirping of cicadas when the weather was clear. Even in the apartments on the fourth or fifth floor, one could hear the irritating chirping of cicadas.

Gong Shui Daoyu sat cross-legged in front of a low table.

The girl wore a loose-fitting T-shirt, perfect for late June. The hem of her light purple T-shirt had been wrinkled by her sitting posture, resembling ruffles. She wore house shorts that clung to her thighs. Her two white thighs, among those of her peers, were definitely slender and straight, a striking expression of youth and beauty. Now, they were folded and pressed against the straw mat below, leaving a light red checkered pattern on her white calves.

She also lived in an apartment, but the specifications and decoration of this apartment were much better than Mizutani Makoto's super cheap apartment.

The girl used to live with her parents in a single-family house in the east of Night Light City, but with the outbreak of a spiritual disaster, she lost both her parents and her place to live overnight.

She was initially taken in by relatives.

At that time, Shuten was advising her to run away.

But she still didn't quite believe it, so she lived with her relatives for a few months, until her relatives had squeezed out 70% to 80% of the insurance compensation for her parents' death. Only then did she wake up in a daze - the two people who loved her unconditionally were gone, and now if she wanted to survive, she had to face this cruel world alone.

She took her meager savings, moved out of her relative's house, and has lived alone ever since.

Well, it seems that I am not entirely alone.

At least on the day she moved out of her relatives' house, Shuten laughed at her from morning to night, and kept saying "Hahahaha~" all day long, which made her turn red.

From that day on, she became much more tolerant of Shuten's various ridicules and teasings.

"Hey, brother, you're up late at night and secretly add me as your friend?"

This Ghost King still had that evil tone.

I don't know if it's because he's holding it in too much, but Shutenju always likes to say some nonsense, and every time it's like teasing the girl's patience with a feather. Miyamizu Inaba is naturally speechless, but she has no way to deal with this ghost king who doesn't even have a physical body.

Did she also beat up Shuten?

Shuten is now in a very miserable state. She has lost her body and is clinging to her like a wandering ghost. Even the wine she usually drinks is fake - she has no body, so even if real wine is placed in front of her, she can't touch it. She can only take out a wine glass from somewhere, put some tasteless prop wine in it, and pretend that she still has wine to drink.

Want to beat her up?

I can't even touch it, are I punching the air?

Shuten urged: "See what he wants to say."

Miyamizu Inaba rubbed her hands, moved the exercise book on the table to the side, bent down to pick up the mechanical pencil that had rolled to the bottom of the low cabinet, sorted out her things, and then looked at the mobile phone on the table with a serious attitude.

If you calculate that the two of them said goodbye at around 8 or 9 in the evening, and it's almost 3 in the morning now, only half a day has passed, right?

She just felt that it was late at night and the two night owls might have a lot in common, so after agreeing to be friends, she greeted Mizutani Makoto via Line. However, unexpectedly, Mizutani Makoto came to her right away for something important.

【Inaba: A strange story about a contract? 】

Mizutani Makoto wanted to increase the trust between the two parties, so when asking for help, he did not intend to hide too much.

Apart from being vague about the location and hiding the content of the "gap", he revealed everything else.
