What?! My anime figurines have all come true!

What exactly is it?

Most people in the supernatural community are unsure whether the phantom they saw, which resembled a spiritual aggregate, was actually the original person.

Only those who practice esoteric arts involving the soul, and magicians who manipulate souls using black magic, have any understanding of this.

As for ordinary people?

To most people, the existence of the soul is merely a philosophical question posed by experts and scholars, and has nothing to do with their own lives.

However, in this new era where extraordinary powers are now fully known to the public.

Let alone vampires and werewolves, even Taoist priests can post videos on the internet, performing what are called 'superpowers' but are actually 'magic'.

This has led many people to start thinking in different directions.

If even the powers of Taoist priests and sorcerers are real, then could the gods and rare beasts of ancient times also be real?

Could the legendary demons and monsters actually exist?!

After all, who hasn't fantasized in their youth about having a fortuitous encounter or inheriting the legacy of a powerful figure, thus embarking on a path of triumphant success like in an urban fantasy novel?

Those young people who meet the qualifications but fail to awaken are at the prime of their youth.

Many of them harbor fantasies, using the guise of traveling across the country to explore places where they might encounter extraordinary adventures, causing the authorities a great headache.

But this is also a problem they must face when they announce the existence of the extraordinary.

Along with the rise of the "pursuit of serendipitous encounters" track, there is also a track that existed before the extraordinary era but was little known to most people—spirit exploration live streaming.

There was so much cheating in this field that nobody cared, so nobody bothered to question the truth of the matter.

But now that the community has expanded with the times, people who used to cheat have to look for the real deal, not to mention those who actually have a skill or a life-saving tool and are really willing to risk their lives to do ghost-hunting live streams.

I don't know if it was bad luck or too much luck.

A few minutes after Black Rock Shooter arrived at the abandoned school with the two swordswoman girls, a van drove in.

A group of two women and one man came down from above to investigate the ghosts.

The man appears to be a bodyguard, while the other two are the 'host' and 'photographer'.

"Family members, this is the legendary Longshan Middle School. According to the locals, it was built more than 60 years ago, and many bad things are said to have happened before it was abandoned."

The female ghost hunter gave a brief introduction to the school's history to the live stream camera, and then led the two of them through the school gate.

However, as soon as the three entered the door, a cold wind blew from afar, making the hairs on the heads of the two people other than the spirit-hunting woman stand on end.

"In stock!"

The spirit hunter was not afraid at all; instead, she was overjoyed.

It's like when someone gambles on jade sees a large piece of green jade cut out; their eyes light up.

Seeing this, the 'bloodthirsty' viewers in the live stream also flooded the chat with comments like 'Get ready to catch the ghost!' Only a few knowledgeable viewers felt unsafe and even spent money to send SC (Super Score) comments to persuade the three to leave.

But it was quickly overwhelmed by other SC (Super Score) comments.

The three figures were naturally spotted by Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura, who were entering the campus. The two of them were standing by the window at that moment.

"How come there are three ordinary people here?"

Kagura Tsuchimiya said, somewhat puzzled.

After all, Remilia and Yukari Yakumo are in real-time monitoring of all the figures' movements outside, so it's virtually impossible for unexpected situations to occur.

So these three people must have been 'arranged' to come.

It's unclear whether Remilia changed it because they might have died here in the original destiny, or if there was another reason.

"A witness, huh... Kagura, aren't you interested in showing off in front of others?"

Yomi Isayama, standing to the side, drew her Zanpakuto, Asauchi, provided by the Seireitei. She glanced at her reflection in the blade and asked Kagura Tsuchimiya with a half-smile.

"Don't say that, Huang Quan. If it were those powerful beings (figures), it would indeed be like playing house, showing off their divine power however they want... We are not that powerful."

Kagura Tsuchimiya waved her hand.

After all, an organization that can use the name "Fengdu" must have some real skills to have the right to try and take advantage of Chen Xiao.

"We just need to train our spiritual pressure, right? We have plenty of time anyway."

With that, Yomi Isayama sheathed her Zanpakuto.

"Hey! Family, look over there! Aren't there two people over there? Oh my god! Did you see them?!"

Perhaps it was because Huang Quan's blade gleamed with a cold light that the three spirit hunters on the square noticed the two people in the teaching building corridor from afar, but due to the distance, they could only vaguely see the figures of the two people.

"Does your eyesight have such sharp eyesight?"

Isayama Yomi immediately became interested.

But before Huang Quan could even make a suggestion, Kagura grabbed her hand and disappeared from the trio's sight.

"Hey? They're gone! Everyone saw them just now, right? They must have been former students of this school! They were lingering here for some reason..."

The female ghost hunter explained her speculations to the live stream camera.

The trio was completely unaware that countless unseen eyes were watching them from the shadows.

As for Yomi and Kagura?

Those little karami dared not spy on them.

Just now, two arrogant evil spirits tried to suck the life force from the living people, but they were chopped into prison masters by Huang Quan.

Now they're just waiting for the 'general' who just left to come back and get his revenge!

"Quickly! Those two female demons are here! Lure them into our ghost realm! And bring those three living people with you too! If the general holds us accountable later, we'll use the souls of those three as compensation!"

A high-level evil spirit, emanating black energy, flew hurriedly down the corridor, calling out to all the evil spirits in the entire school.

However, although the other evil spirits were willing to obey orders, as soon as they saw the Zanpakuto in Yomi and Kagura's hands, they immediately fled through the wall like mice seeing a cat within seconds.

This forced the high-level evil spirit to act as bait, while the remaining evil spirits lured the three spirit hunters into their territory.

"Don't even think about running!"

Huang Quan smiled excitedly, swung his sword and cut off a portion of the black mist on the high-level evil spirit, also leaving a cut on the wall behind it.

Just as it was about to continue its escape, Kagura Tsuchimiya emerged from the opposite corner, and the two of them blocked it in the middle of the corridor from both sides.

"Where did this female demon come from?! The long sword she's wielding is terrifying just to look at, and a mere graze will injure you, a direct hit will kill you!"

The advanced evil spirit inwardly groaned in despair.

I'm afraid I'll be instantly refined by these two beautiful girls right here.

"Boss! Over here! Come here quickly!"

Fortunately, it still had a loyal little brother who stayed by its side.

However, when the high-level evil spirit turned around, it found that half of its subordinate's body was in the ghost realm.

"Good lad! Next time, if there's a living person, you'll get the first breath of their life!"

Overjoyed, the high-level evil spirit ignored the long swords swinging from both sides and pounced on its own minions.

It managed to escape before becoming an evil spirit, at the cost of having most of its ghostly aura cut off.

The entrance to the realm was now exposed to Yomi and Kagura.

Chapter Ninety-Six: When the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king.

"They really run fast..."

Isayama Yomi and Tsuchimiya Kagura arrived at the entrance to the demon realm.

Although there seems to be nothing in front of you, once you step into it, you will be pulled into another realm.

This was the first time they had ever seen a different dimension from their own.

However, compared to the realm obtained by deceiving the world with Heroic Spirit figurines, the Ghost Realm before us probably doesn't even qualify as a Reality Barrier.

"Is there any danger here, you sage demon?"

Isayama Yomi asked the air.

"Of course not! It's just a demonic domain composed of half illusion and half alternate dimension. Anyone with even a little exorcism skill wouldn't be afraid, let alone harm you two."

Yakumo Yukari's voice rang in their ears.

To think that she, the dignified youkai sage of Gensokyo, is now practically a walking NPC, like an all-knowing encyclopedia.

No, it should be considered a portable magic mirror that answers all questions?

Yukari Yakumo didn't complain about this at all; in fact, she seemed to enjoy it.

"Half-illusion magic?"

Upon hearing this, Isayama Yomi raised an eyebrow.

"Yes! The place where this school is located, for some reason, naturally formed a semi-finished alternate dimension that can nourish the spirits of evil beings."

Yakumo Yukari explained enthusiastically.

'In order to inhabit it, those evil spirits used illusions to fill the gaps in the alternate dimension, allowing it to connect to reality... In a sense, you can think of it as something like being trapped in a maze.'

"I see. So the master of this domain... must be the one who accepted the commission to assassinate Miss Tsugumi."

Kagura Tsuchimiya nodded knowingly.

'Hehe~ The other party might not even be human.'

In this world, the saying "you never know if the person on the other end of the internet is a human or a dog" is sometimes not just a metaphor.

"Evil spirits have even learned to use the internet... Are they really that up-to-date? Oh well, I'm going to kill them anyway."

Isayama Yomi chuckled and shook his head. Then, he took a step forward with Tsuchimiya Kagura. In an instant, the two felt as if they had passed through a curtain.

Then, a stern voice came from behind.

"Hey you two! Get back to your seats right now!"

Looking back, the once dark and dilapidated classroom had been restored to its original state before it was abandoned. Not only was the room clean and the desks and chairs tidy, but students in school uniforms were also sitting on them.

It was as if the two of them had traveled back in time.

As for the source of the voice, it was the teacher standing on the podium, dressed in a classic plaid shirt, suit pants and black leather shoes, which was very much in line with the times and awe-inspiring.

"Shenzhou's teachers, Kagura, are they any different from the schools you're familiar with?"

Isayama Yomi didn't care about the teacher at all. After glancing around briefly, she asked Tsuchimiya Kagura, who was standing next to her.

"The difference? Hmm...maybe it's the aura. The teachers in Shenzhou are more imposing than I remember."

Kagura Tsuchimiya thought for a moment and then truthfully answered how she felt.

'teacher':……

His transformation into such a classic and stereotypical skin had absolutely no effect!

Despite being within the sphere of influence of this field, don't they have any sense of self-awareness as students?

"Hey you two! What are you whispering about? Get back to your seats right now! Don't disturb the other students!"

The teacher steeled himself and stepped forward, sternly reprimanding him.

"Hoo~?"

Isayama Yomi crossed her arms in front of her chest, glancing sideways at her teacher with a half-smile.

"You want me to obediently attend class?"

Teacher: ... (Sweating profusely)

Click—!

After a brief standoff, Yomi Isayama's figure suddenly flashed before his teacher's eyes, and before he could react, his Zanpakuto was already at his neck.

"These women don't play by the rules!!!"

The fake teacher immediately dispelled his illusion, reverting to his evil spirit form, and flew away with a mournful face, his exaggerated facial expressions making him look like he had eaten a rubber fruit.
