Love is not as fun as World of Warcraft

Shirasaka pinched his chin and thought for a moment, and soon found a way to verify his idea. He reached into his pocket and took out his mobile phone, secretly took a picture of the empty iron cage, and then sent the photo to a girl.

[Xiao Qi Se, can evil spirits be captured in photos? Picture.JPG]

Although it is impossible to confirm whether something like evil spirits can be photographed, it is definitely a good idea to ask the person who is best at this first. And next to Shirasaka, the person of choice naturally falls on Nanashiki Mio.

Fortunately, Shirasaka had prepared a new mobile phone for Nanashiki Mio before, which came in handy at this time. Shirasaka didn't even have to wait long before he received a reply from Nanashiki Mio.

Judging from his appearance, this guy has probably been holding her phone since he woke up and hasn't let go.

When Shirasaka thought about how Nanashiki Mio could be so addicted to playing Angry Birds, she couldn't help but shook her head. She had to remind her that it's best not to get too addicted to anything she plays.

Putting these irrelevant thoughts behind him, Shirasaka clicked on Nanashiki Mio's reply, and her answer directly cleared up the fog surrounding Shirasaka.

"Is it okay? I haven't tried it. But in the photo you sent me, Shirasaka-san, there's clearly a demon imprisoned in the cage. It looks incredibly terrifying and hideous, and just one glance is enough to make anyone feel uncomfortable. Shirasaka-san, be very careful. The more terrifying a demon looks, the more powerful it is."

Nanashiki Mio's answer was extremely serious, and Shirasaka could also feel her concern for herself expressed in her words. It must be said, the feeling of being cared for by others is pretty good, right?

It was precisely because of her answer that Shirasaka became more convinced of his own thoughts. No wonder he couldn't see anything in the cage. It turned out that there really was a ghost inside.

All of this makes it clear why the people of the Xuyan Secret Sect made such a big show and were not worried about any problems at all.

If the cage contained an evil spirit, ordinary people would not be able to see it at all, so it would naturally not cause any chaos.

As for those who can see it, it is ultimately only a minority, and there is no way that these things will be publicized loudly.

At the same time, the reason why he showed it so abruptly was to catch those who could see evil spirits off guard. All the people of the Xuyan Secret Cult had to do was to find the existence that behaved differently from the people around it at that moment.

As for why the people of the Hidden Words Esoteric Cult went to such great lengths to find someone who could see evil spirits, Shirasaka had a rough guess after recalling what the fanatic who wanted to bury Nanashiki Mio alive had said.

He said that he envied people like Nanashiki Mio and Nanashiki Iegawa who had the talent to be sacrificed. Now it seems that this talent probably refers to people with special physiques that can observe evil spirits.

Shirasaka guessed that these more than a thousand guests were probably the result of a screening process. The real idea of this Hidden Words Esoteric Cult was probably to use this method to quickly find people with these abilities, and then use them as sacrifices for subsequent sacrifices.

One thing I have to say is that this is indeed a quick and effective method. After all, there is nothing faster than releasing an evil spirit directly in front of a person to determine whether he can see it.

After figuring this out, Shirasaka narrowed his eyes, but then could only let out a regretful sigh.

After figuring out the intentions and goals of the Xuyan Secret Cult, his doubts were resolved, but a problem also arose. If this group of people acted like this, it would definitely be impossible for them to cause any large-scale chaos.

If nothing big happens, then there seems to be no reason for him to take action. If the hero goes up and kills all these people just because of this kind of thing, it would be a bit too bloodthirsty.

Even if he did so, it would be difficult to explain to Kagami Ichinose later. He couldn't just say that he killed everyone because they showed their evil spirits. This reason was obviously untenable.

In that case, it seems that the only thing I can do is to change from a group attack to a targeted kill. I can let those staff members go for the time being, but I can kill the leader of the Xuyan Secret Sect myself. That should be okay, right?

Who told him to be a formal member of the Xuyan Secret Cult? Once a cultist, always a cultist, there is no way to cleanse yourself.

And as for the evil spirit in the cage, Nanase Mio said that the uglier it is, the stronger it is, which means it must have a lot of experience.

They are just placed there, without any names or places of origin written on them, so you can just go over and take care of them. That would be considered as doing good deeds without leaving a name, which would be a great merit, right?

Baisaka thought, there are people who want this girl, and there is so much experience there, why not pick it up?

Chapter 80: You're Still Shy

Obviously, the people of the False Words Church seemed to have the same plan as Shirasaka. After recording all those who had reactions to evil spirits one by one, the church members allowed them to continue to move freely.

Afterwards, Shirasaka probably used the same method as before, without having to verify whether these people really had similar Yin-Yang eyes abilities. There were only a few of them anyway, and if they were all captured, it wouldn't be a very difficult task for the Kyouyan Esoteric Sect.

Shirasaka did not stop them. He just let them put together the list and handed it to the host. Then he followed the man and walked into the office in the backstage.

The host was completely unaware of Shirasaka's actions. After all, he basically remained invisible throughout the entire process, and his speed was so fast that it was almost inhuman, so it was obviously not an easy task to detect his presence.

Even though Shirasaka had already sneaked into his office, the man still knew nothing about it.

"Yes, the new list has been compiled and will be sent to you soon, Master Priest. Is there any need for another round of screening?"

The man, who was completely unaware of Shirasaka's lurking, made a phone call, as if he was talking to his boss, and his tone became respectful.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it. I'll suspend the selection of sacrifices for a while. What should we do with that evil spirit?"

"Find the right moment to release it and create chaos? I understand..."

The believer kept nodding his head to confirm something with the other party without hanging up the phone, but he didn't notice that a kitchen knife had quietly wrapped around his neck.

"Excuse me, but I think this isn't a very good way to deal with it. It's worth discussing. How about giving it to me?"

Shirasaka's ghostly voice suddenly rang out from the believer's ear, instantly interrupting their conversation and causing the man who was sorting out the list to freeze in place.

It was not until this moment that he realized his current situation, and the grip on his phone became tense.

Without giving the man in front of her any chance to resist, Shirasaka decisively slashed his throat with the kitchen knife in her hand, and then stabbed the knife into his heart with her backhand.

Shirasaka, who already knew how to deal with these fanatics, didn't even give him time to switch to another stage this time. As the man died, he crushed the stone in his heart with the blade of his knife.

Without this thing, he wouldn't have the chance to transform even if he wanted to.

As expected, as Shirasaka crushed the stone in the man's heart, his originally resisting body instantly softened, and along with it, Shirasaka's experience points also jumped sharply.

The moment the phone slipped from his palm due to exhaustion, Shirasaka quickly picked it up, glanced at the interface that didn't even show a phone number, and started talking to the other party very familiarly.

"Could you please leave your name, my dear brother? How about I come to see you if I have the chance? I don't have any particular purpose, I just want to get to know you."

"Maybe I need the High Priest's recommendation to join the Secret Cult of False Words, so is it really inconvenient to date offline?"

His tone was very much like that of an unknown friend who was very familiar with each other in a telecom fraud case. Shirasaka pulled out the kitchen knife that was stuck in the man's chest, wiped the blood off the knife on the corpse, and chatted with the other person.

"..."

It's just a pity that the other party didn't seem to want to talk to Shirasaka. After a period of quiet silence, he took the initiative to hang up the phone and decisively abandoned his contact.

"Tsk, how boring, you're hanging up right now. At least chat for a while, can't you just get to know each other?"

Throwing the phone aside in disgust, Shirasaka's eyes became extremely serious. He had actually just heard the voice of the so-called high priest by eavesdropping. If he didn't have the habit of using false voice when chatting with his subordinates, then with Shirasaka's current memory, as long as the other party spoke in front of him again, he would definitely be able to recognize him.

Combined with what the previous believer said, that the high priest seemed to be active in the Kamihama Police Station, it would not be difficult for Shirasaka to lock onto him.

Originally, he wanted to try to communicate with the other party and deepen his understanding of his voice, but this guy just died. Shirasaka could only put down the phone helplessly.

Sooner or later, he will catch the other party.

As for whether he would expose this matter, Shirasaka was not worried at all. He had only told Ichinose Kagami about his investigation of this event, and that girl with no background didn't seem like the type to tell others about these things. So it would not be easy for her to find him through these clues.

In addition, he had just deliberately used a false voice to communicate with the other party, so Shirasaka thought that if anyone was suspicious, they would not be so quick to suspect him.

Of course, even if the other party is really smart and has calculated everything, it is not a particularly serious matter for Shirasaka. He has been targeted by this group of guys for a long time anyway. If you have too many lice, you won’t feel itchy. Come and confront him head-on if you have the guts.

It's still unclear who will take care of whom by then. Shirasaka has long been eager for someone to give him experience.

Pushing the corpse aside, Shirasaka searched the office for useful items without success, then put away the list in his hand.

This can be considered as saving these people's lives in disguise. We should do more meritorious deeds to offset our sins of killing.

After doing all this, Shirasaka had no intention of leaving. Instead, he sat down on the chair in the office with a swagger, as if waiting for something, and closed his eyes to think.

Now that he was here, there was one thing that Shirasaka really wanted to verify.

However, as time passed, the blood of the cultist's body on the ground was almost dried up, and Shirasaka was unable to wait for the guy he expected. Even he couldn't help but scratch his head, wondering if he had done something wrong.

"My friend, don't hide. It's dinner time. Now is the time to feast."

Not giving up, he shouted towards the empty area in front of him. Shirasaka looked at the empty small map in the lower left corner and made a final attempt.

If it was the original Shirasaka, he would have definitely left after killing the person, and would not even contact Ichinose Kagami. It would have been considered that he had died suddenly, and if he hadn't said anything, no one would have known that it was him who did it.

However, based on its behavior the previous two times, Shirasaka felt that the monster that always kindly helped him clean the floor would stop this time, and he could take this opportunity to try to communicate with it.

Even if there is no chance to become friends with it, we can still cooperate with it in the future!

With such a guy who specializes in cleaning the floor to help, at least I won't have any worries when I draw pictures in the future. He can make it so that even professionals like Kagami Ichinose can't find any clues. Even if a professional floor cleaning team comes, they may not be able to achieve such efficiency and effectiveness.

However, Shirasaka's words still received no response. There was nothing in front of him except the corpse that had turned completely cold.

"Tsk, is there some hidden condition that triggers this guy to clean up the place?"

Shirasaka half-closed his eyes and shook his head regretfully, probably certain that he had no chance of catching that guy. Either the other party had no intention of negotiating with him, or he was overthinking it and the other party simply wanted to eat and had no intention of helping him.

Of course, the worst possibility is that his speculation was wrong from the beginning, and it was not the monster who was clearing the ground for him at all. All of this was done by someone else, and he had other intentions.

Even though he was extremely confused, Shirasaka finally gave up his meaningless wait. The activities in the hall were almost over, and it was time for him to leave and put the experience stored in the cage into practice.

Helplessly sitting up from the chair, Shirasaka just opened the door and was about to sneak out when he suddenly seemed to notice something and instinctively turned around to look in the direction of the corpse.

But it was as if he had experienced a magic trick. When he turned around, he saw an empty room. Be it the cold corpse lying on the ground or the bloodstains that should have solidified on the ground and the table, they all disappeared completely as if they had never existed. Even the carpet on the floor looked as if it had been washed fresh and became spotless.

"Hey, you're still shy, right?"

Shirasaka watched as the tiny tentacle finally poked out a corner from the darkness, seemingly reluctantly, and licked a drop of blood from under the cup on the table. It retracted the moment it met his gaze, and turned back without forgetting to straighten the cup. For a moment, he didn't know what expression to use to face the other party.

So, this thing really has been following me this whole time? Does it think I'm some kind of feeding machine?

If that's the case, why should it be shy? If it wants to eat, just say no!

Chapter 81 A Rich Harvest

That thing ran too fast, and in the end, Shirasaka still couldn't communicate with it normally.

However, after this contact, Shirasaka could at least be sure of one thing, that is, it was indeed not his enemy for the time being, otherwise, it would not have done what it was doing now.

No matter what, the fact that someone has no hostility towards him, something he cannot handle at this stage, is definitely a good thing for Shirasaka.

Moreover, after this experience, Shirasaka was certain that it seemed to have targeted him for some reason, and almost as soon as he killed someone, it would take the initiative to come out and help clean up the mess.

For Baisaka, this is even better, like icing on the cake. After all, if this matter is confirmed, he will not have to worry about Tutu in the future.

Anyway, someone will help you clean up the mess. As long as you kill cleanly enough, who knows if it will be you who did it in the end?

After secretly escaping from the newly renovated office, Shirasaka had one more thing to deal with before leaving the venue.

Ignoring the people in the hall who were still chatting animatedly with each other, Shirasaka glanced at the empty stage. After confirming that those people seemed to have taken back the evil spirit used for display, he secretly lurked backstage.

These outer staff of the Xuyan Secret Cult obviously didn't know that their leader had been killed by Shirasaka, and his body had been eaten up by someone unknown. They were still busy in the venue of the event, doing the finishing work.

Shirasaka just silently wrote down the names on the work badges worn by these people, and if she found an opportunity, she would hand it over to Ichinose Kagamikashi. She would probably have a way to deal with these people.

As for what he had to do now, it was not the time to deal with these minions. Avoiding everyone's sight, Baisaka easily walked around to the cage that was once again covered with red cloth.

How to say it, the method of covering it with red cloth deliberately by the Xuanyan Esoteric Cult is perfect for Shirasaka. The cage is so small, and the evil spirit is locked inside. He doesn't even need to lock it, he can just throw the holy light into the cage and be done with it.

Hitting a fixed target is much easier than relying on Nanashi Mio's command to find the enemy's approximate position.

The red cloth covering the cage also came into play at this moment. Shirasaka was worried that his Holy Light Technique was good in every way except that the special effects were too strong. This thing just happened to cover up the dazzling light.

With almost no pause, Shirasaka took advantage of the moment when the members of the Hypothetical Cult were not paying attention to the cage, lifted a corner of it, and threw a holy light into it with his backhand.

Just like a flashlight suddenly being turned on, the golden light of holy light leaked out from under the cage for a moment, but quickly disappeared without attracting the attention of other people present. Shirasakahara, who was about to slip away after throwing the skill, suddenly stopped.

It's not that he suddenly had murderous intentions towards the remaining believers, but simply because he didn't see the increase in experience points. How could he accept this?

Baisaka looked at the cage with some confusion, and for a moment he thought that these guys had released the things inside in advance. Otherwise, why didn't he gain any experience after firing the holy light?

But on second thought, it seemed a little strange. After all, the fanatics before had just received the order. It was unlikely that they would take action right away. Could it be that the thing inside had run away in advance?

Frowning, he looked at the cage. It was not until he saw that the Fu Li in the cage seemed to be trembling, as if the thing inside was struggling violently, that he realized that he might have overlooked something.

According to Nanase Mio, the thing locked up here seems to be quite powerful? Then there is another possibility that this 100 points of fixed damage holy light may not be enough to kill the opponent.

But thinking of this, Baisaka's face became even more excited. Having a lot of blood would not be a good thing under other circumstances, especially when he couldn't see the other person. Even a single shot of holy light couldn't kill him, and it would be even more difficult to kill him in close combat.

But it’s different now. This thing is completely trapped in this cage. As long as he can’t get out, and Shirasaka can’t kill him with one shot of holy light, then can’t he just use the second shot?

Shirasaka acted promptly and stayed in the shadows for a while. He used the invincible breathing technique to restore his mana to the point where he could use the second Holy Light spell. He then threw another one into the cage without hesitation.

This time, it was as if he could hear a scream coming from within his soul. Shirasaka clearly saw a wisp of green smoke coming out of the cage, and then his experience bar suddenly soared by 500 points.

This is almost as valuable as two mountain baboons. Is the thing in this cage so powerful?

Rubbing his hands in surprise, Shirasaka hadn't expected that this thing locked up by the Secret Cult of the Void Words would be so powerful. No wonder it only took two blasts of holy light to kill the opponent. If it were let out to move freely, Shirasaka felt a headache just thinking about it.

No wonder the priest of the Secret Cult of False Words said he wanted to release it to create chaos. A thing of this level might cause any trouble.

After all, the noise of death was felt by someone like himself whose clairvoyance was almost zero. Shirasaka guessed that this thing could probably be considered a small boss at the elite monster level.

But unfortunately, he was born at the wrong time and met a guy like me, and he happened to be in such a desperate situation, so I took advantage of him.

Without even looking at what the evil spirit dropped, Shirasaka looked at the obviously commotion in the venue and knew that he was definitely not the only one who noticed the final click of the thing, so it would be best to evacuate from here first.

After decisively stuffing the fallen treasure chest into his backpack, Shirasaka was about to escape from the back door, but suddenly seemed to remember something, and suddenly turned around and reached out to the cage that imprisoned the evil spirit.

——Since we’re here, this thing seems to have some use, so it would be a shame not to take it, right?

By the time the staff of the Xuyan Secret Sect arrived at the backstage, they were surprised to find that the iron cage that had been there and required two burly men to move had completely disappeared. It was like magic, and not even a trace of its movement was left on the ground.

As for the person involved, Shirasaka, he had already boarded the train home when those people rushed to the backstage. He whistled like a teenager returning home after morning exercise. No one would have thought that just ten minutes ago, he had sneaked into the backstage of the cult organization single-handedly and killed their leader.
