A young love story that started with exorcism

From her words, Yukinoshita Yukino keenly noticed the loophole and turned the tables on her.

"You..." The short-haired girl was annoyed for a moment, but she quickly recovered and said with a dead pig fearless of boiling water: "I don't understand what you are talking about. Anyway, it has nothing to do with us. It's up to you whether you want to tell the teacher or do something else."

After saying that, he was about to walk back, but after taking just two steps, he turned back to look at Yukinoshita Yukino and said with interest: "I remember you are Yukinoshita Yukino who can be ranked first with Sakamoto. You are beautiful and good at studying. Your happiness value must be very high. You are happy now. Wait until I find an opportunity. I will take it all away from you."

"What do you mean?"

However, the short-haired girl did not answer and just walked away, leaving the few people standing there looking at each other.

"I didn't expect it was really this person who was behind this," Yukinoshita Yukino said. She had originally expected some major twists and turns, but unexpectedly, she caught the real culprit right away. "But even if we know it's her, it seems there's no way to solve it?"

"It seems like she's not afraid of us knowing at all." Chitanda Eru expressed the same sentiment. Even though we know that she did those things, we still can't stop her.

Oreki Houtarou said thoughtfully, "And her last words felt awkward. 'I'll take all your happiness away from you.' I can kind of understand what happiness is, but can it be taken away from me?"

Chapter 25: Spanking under surveillance

There is no perfect method of committing a crime. As long as a crime is committed, there will be clues left behind.

Even in this world where supernatural means exist, there are eyes that can see through the fog.

Yotsuya Miko's clairvoyance could almost detect the slightest trace of supernatural energy. As the short-haired tall girl spoke, Yotsuya Miko observed closely and saw clearly that a dark mist, invisible to ordinary people, was emanating from her mouth, almost emitting from its opening and closing. Could it be that she was possessed by an evil spirit? Like the black cat Yukino Yukinoshita encountered?

Yukinoshita Yukino had just had a face-to-face conversation. Perhaps her psychic ability wasn't good enough to see it? Miko turned to look at Takahashi Takumi and found that he was also looking at her. From their eyes, they both understood what the other meant.

Since ordinary methods had little effect on her, there was no point in investigating further. Takahashi Takumi couldn't tell Oreki Houtarou and Chitanda Eru directly, so he had to send them away for the time being.

"We now know that it was the tall girl with short hair who did it, but we don't know why she did it, and we don't have any evidence to prove it was her.

They also know that we are targeting them, so they probably won't dare to attack you again. Why don't you go back and think about how to expose her? That's all for today."

Faced with this situation, Oreki Houtarou couldn't think of any way to expose them. He wasn't one to force anyone, so he nodded in agreement. After thanking them, he and Chitanda Eru left first.

"Did you find anything?"

Yukinoshita Yukino looked at Yotsuya Miko and Takahashi Takumi, and found that both of them were frowning, so she knew that they had discovered something.

"That tall girl with short hair is definitely problematic. Maybe she's possessed by an evil spirit, or perhaps she's gained its power?"

Then Yotsuya Miko told her everything she had just discovered. After hearing it, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but look depressed: "Why can't I see it? I was right in front of her just now, talking face to face."

"I've already told you that your clairvoyance is due to the influence of that black cat, the bald guy. It's not even on the same level as Yotsuya-san's clairvoyance. It might disappear after a while."

"So what should we do? Normal methods won't work."

"I can just see it, I can't help with anything else." When Yotsuya Miko saw Yukinoshita Yukino turned to look at her, she couldn't help but wave her hands and shake her head to indicate that she was unable to punish the murderer.

"Looks like it has to be me." Takahashi Takumi summoned the steel chain finger and waved his hand. "I don't want to use this power against ordinary people. Since she has inhuman strength, don't blame me for being rude."

With a whoosh, an updraft of air came out from between the steel chain fingers. Yotsuya Miko was quite close to her, and her little skirt was lifted up, revealing her black panties.

"Ah!" With a scream, Yotsuya Miko shyly pressed the hem of her skirt, pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "Takahashi-kun, what are you doing~ (Kun voice)".

"You're acting like a hooligan in broad daylight, you're worthy of me, Takahashi Jun." Seeing this scene, Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but stare at Takahashi Takukai with a death glare.

"Sorry, I was at a loss for strength. I meant for me to defeat her. She's acting so arrogantly because the surveillance cameras can't capture her. Let her experience what it's like to be attacked by something you can't see."

“Okay, how do we do it?”

"What can I do? I'll just drag her out and beat her up, and see if she still behaves. Anyway, I'll use steel chains on my fingers, so no one can see. Oh, and since we're in a place with cameras, we can use surveillance to prove it has nothing to do with us. This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine. Then I'll make her tell me how old she was when she wet the bed."

Takahashi Takumi clenched his fist and said: Fists cannot solve problems, but fists can solve most people with problems.

"Huh. Why do they have to resort to violence in the end?" Yotsuya Miko was speechless. At first she was afraid that Yukinoshita Yukino would start a fight, but she didn't expect that in the end it would be Takahashi Takumi who started the fight, although it was likely to be a one-sided crushing.

Seeing that the two men in front of him were reluctant to use force, Takahashi Takumi thought for a moment and decided to use intimidation instead, even demonstrating with himself. He directly used the power of the steel chain finger to cut off his own arm. The two watched as Takahashi grabbed the severed arm with ease and then reattached it.

"It's amazing, this kind of thing is really ~ Thai cool"

Yotsuya Miko and Yukinoshita Yukino came over together, grabbed the arm that had just been severed, and found that it had been reattached intact. They couldn't help but exclaim in amazement that it was miraculous.

Thinking of the tall girl with short hair, she probably doesn't want her hands and feet to fall off suddenly.

Now that the plan has been decided, let’s execute it immediately.

Meanwhile, in the gymnasium, the tall, short-haired girl was still chatting with her two friends in a corner. It seemed that she didn't care even if she was approached. She must be very confident in her own methods. She was still talking calmly:

"Haha, even if they knew it was me, they wouldn't be able to do anything. Next time I'll..."

Before she could finish, two loud slaps were heard and the two girls were knocked unconscious. The tall girl with short hair had her mouth covered before she could react, and then she was picked up and walked out.

Her struggle was like that of an antelope with its throat choked by a lion. She could only stare with her eyes wide open in fear. No one else in the gymnasium noticed anything unusual and they were all minding their own business. She was taken out silently like that.

Not long after walking, the tall girl with short hair was thrown to the ground. She was horrified to see that the three people in front of her were Yukinoshita Yukino, Yotsuya Miko, and Takahashi Takumi, the three people who had called her out for questioning.

"What are you going to do?"

Hearing her words, Takahashi Takumi had no interest in playing tricks with her. He couldn't even see his own stand-in, and the small role was not worth wasting words on. He simply slapped her butt hard with his steel chain fingers. Although there was no sound, judging from the gesture of the steel chain fingers, the elasticity must have been very good.

"Ah?!" The tall girl with short hair grimaced in pain, turned around to cover her butt but didn't see anyone behind her.

"We're under surveillance right now. What do you think? Even if something happens to you, it will be clearly recorded and has nothing to do with us," Takahashi Takumi said expressionlessly. "Now I ask questions and you answer them, understand?"

"What do you want to ask? I..."

Before she could finish, he slapped her on the butt again: "Did I ask you to ask questions? You just need to answer my questions. Tell me, what's your name?"

Anji Basin

"Why did you do that to Oreki-san and Chitanda-san?"

"I didn't, it really wasn't me..."

It was really a case of not crying until you see the coffin. Takahashi Takumi directly used the steel chain fingers to attack and directly cut off her calf. Anji Penzi was lying on the ground when she suddenly saw her calf was broken. Although she did not feel any pain, it made her feel more terrified. Her calf was cut off like this, without bleeding or pain.

She struggled to get up, but with only one leg left, she couldn't keep her balance and fell down again, screaming unconsciously.

"Shut up! If you don't want to lose your other leg, just say it now. You don't want to be a one-legged cripple playing in the national basketball game next week, do you?"

Sure enough, this sentence made her shut up. At this moment, a drink bottle in front of her was suddenly cut in half, and the drink inside splashed on her face. Finally, she couldn't stand the pressure and shouted:

"I'll tell you everything"

Chapter 26: The Pusher Hidden in the Dark

Anji Penzi, the only child of a middle-class family, was born with a bit of a spoiled princess syndrome. However, just as she entered high school, her father, a company executive, was suddenly laid off, leaving him unemployed. With their income plummeting, the family began to quarrel over trivial matters. Her mother, bedridden, grumbled nonstop, while her father, an alcoholic, constantly complained about the injustices of life.

The dramatic changes in his family made Anji Penzi even more rebellious, and he started hanging out with bad people. He also went from being a starter to a substitute in the basketball team, and was even on the verge of being kicked out. Everything was going in a worse direction.

In reality, he indulged in self-degradation and complained about the unfairness of fate on the Internet. However, one day, Anji Penzi was suddenly invited to join a chat group called EH (Embrace Happiness). As soon as he entered, he was attracted by the slogan inside.

If happiness is fixed, are unfortunate people simply having their share taken away from them?

This chat group stated: The happiness of everyone in the world has a numerical value; the higher the numerical value, the happier the person. However, the total amount of happiness in the world is a fixed, unchanging number. Therefore, the happier people take more of that value away, leaving less.

Then the unfortunate people are unfortunate because the happy people take away more values, resulting in fewer values being allocated to them.

Therefore, destroy the happiness of others, take away their happiness value, thereby increasing your own happiness value, so that you can become a happy person.

..............................

It's these flimsy words that seem to have given those caught in the vortex of misfortune a lifeline. Anji Penzi is one such person. She believed in the content of the EH chat group and put it into practice, taking photos of the process and posting them in the chat group, where the group leader would assess the value she could obtain.

Consuming certain values grants certain benefits, such as exchanging happiness for money. This is real money, deposited directly into your bank account. Anji Penzi has since regained a relatively successful life. She even uses happiness to strengthen herself, resulting in a significant increase in strength. Now, she's a true powerhouse within the team, firmly entrenched as the team's top center.

She had framed Oreki Houtarou on the train many times, but failed, which made her very angry. So she found Oreki Houtarou's location, graffitied on his desk, and poured ink on his shoe cabinet.

When she finished doing these things and took photos of the scenes and uploaded them, she actually got more values than before. The group owner told her that he could help her solve the monitoring problem, so he became even bolder.

The next day, he discovered Chitanda Eru was with Oreki Houtarou, so he decided to do something about it and also included her in the arrangements.

……

Unexpectedly, things turned out to be so bizarre in the end. Just when Takahashi Takumi was about to use Anji Penzi's phone to check the chat group, the situation suddenly changed. The black mist on Anji Penzi's body was suddenly absorbed by the phone, and then disappeared. Even the EH chat group APP on the phone disappeared.

Without the black mist, Anji Penzi had aged considerably, and much of her black hair had turned white. But Takahashi Takumi didn't bother with such people. Was she just a flag in that chat group? A test subject?

No matter what it is, it is not worthy of sympathy. What is distressing is that when they used their mobile phones to check the EH chat group online, they found nothing, as if it never existed and there was no way to trace it.

There was no other choice but to connect Anji Penzi's feet, and Takahashi Takumi and the other two retreated.

All the way out of the school gate, the three of them walked quietly and no one spoke.

The murderer was found, and her background was exposed, but the ending was unexpectedly absurd, whether it was the cause of the incident or the ultimate mastermind. With the mysterious EH chat group disappearing like mud into the sea, there was no way to find it, and the incident was left unresolved.

It feels like squatting down in the toilet and suddenly finding that you can't feel anything.

"As expected, the world's mysteries still need people like us to solve them. Although I'm a little disappointed that I couldn't find the mastermind behind this, I've helped Oreki-san and Chitanda-san solve their problems. It also prevented Anjibon from doing evil again. I think our activities were a success."

Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, Yukinoshita Yukino tried to make an inspiring victory declaration to cheer everyone up.

Yotsuya Miko still can't get over what happened to Anji Penzi, and it seems to have changed her outlook on life:

"Well, although I can't accept Anji Panzi's behavior, she mentioned that there are many other members in that mysterious happiness chat group. Will they also try to destroy others to achieve their own happiness like Anji Panzi did?

That's completely wrong, why would anyone believe it?"

"Not everyone is kind and positive. Just like when I was in elementary school, none of those students tried to surpass me by working hard to improve themselves. Instead, they just wanted to use cheap means to bring down those who were better than them.

Anji Penzi also encountered supernatural forces, so I don’t think it’s surprising that he turned out like that.

When there is some kind of supernatural power, no matter how crazy the thing is, there will surely be people willing to try it."

Speaking of this, Yukinoshita Yukino turned to look at Takahashi Takumi, her bright eyes flashing with some emotions.

"Haven't we done a great job in our first step towards becoming heroes of the new world? It's not a groundbreaking feat, but we've caught a glimpse of what seems to be some kind of conspiracy.

Maybe there is a huge plan hidden that can subvert the world!

Takahashi-kun, today's success was possible thanks to your efforts, and the same goes for Miko. Let's work together from now on."

How could the school's most popular girl, a cool and literary girl, become a person with middle school syndrome?

Just then, a car with a golden statue on the front drove up outside the school gate and stopped in front of the three of them. A beautiful young woman got out and waved to Yukinoshita Yukino:

"Yukino-chan, I'm here to pick you up."

Yukinoshita Yukino's face turned a little ugly, but she regained her composure in the blink of an eye, even smiling with a hint of relief. She turned around and said, "Let's leave it at that for today. I'll go back first. Bye."

"Alala, why don't you introduce your good friends to me? I'm so sad. I'm crying~"

It seems that this person is Yukinoshita Haruno, the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family and the biological sister of Yukinoshita Yukino.

The two look 70% similar in appearance, but their figures completely crush Yukinoshita Yukino. When they wave, you can see two puddings on their chests shaking. No wonder the relationship between the two sisters is awkward. Can people with small breasts communicate with people with big breasts in a friendly manner?

However, seeing Yukinoshita Haruno greeting Takahashi Takumi and Yotsuya Miko in a familiar manner, Takahashi Takumi felt very uncomfortable with her forced social smile.

"You two must come to my house together... Oh, Yukino, don't pull me." Before she could finish her words, Yukinoshita Yukino directly pulled her back to the car.

"Yukino's sister is such a beautiful and outstanding big sister. She seems like a capable and strong woman." Looking at the car slowly driving away, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but sigh.

Excellent people are indeed the objects of others' admiration, but the other party is the future successor of the Yukinoshita Group and a talent cultivated by a large family. He has received strict training in his conversation, etiquette and temperament. It is inevitable that people will be attracted to him at first sight.

But Takahashi Takumi isn't envious. His future lies not in worldly fame and fortune, but in the eerie, ethereal world of mystery. But today in the EH chat group, I have a feeling we'll run into each other again. Then I'll definitely uncover his true colors. The Riddler must die!

Chapter 27: Night Tour for Two

"Some say that when you solidify the abyss, the abyss also stares back at you. When we are constantly involved in the affairs of the strange world, we may be approached by some unknown danger.

So, Yotsuya-san, why did you get involved in strange events like Yukinoshita Yukino? Don't say you want to be a hero too."

Takahashi Takumi had this question from the beginning. Yotsuya Miko knew the danger of evil spirits, and normally she would want to stay away from these strange events, so why?
