Although Black Mist Branch had raised a standard flag, fortunately, things did not develop in the direction of the flag. After that, Satoshi arranged for Black Mist Branch's transfer to Tong Shou Middle School.
In the next few days, everyone's lives were basically on the right track. Every morning, Crimson Daisy, Black Mist Branch, and Bai Ju would go to school. Satoshi, Hisashi Shizuka, Yuki, and Kurosawa Fengshi would stay at the office. After that, Satoshi would either watch TV or take care of some trouble as usual. Hisashi Shizuka was mainly responsible for teaching Yuki and Kurosawa Fengshi about the modern world.
Although one was a Yuki and the other was a Miko, neither of them knew much about the modern world. In this regard, Hisashi Shizuka was more reliable.
Bai Ju's school life was much smoother than she had imagined. In fact, it could be seen from her behavior when she came home from school every day. At first, Bai Ju would only give standard answers like "everyone is friendly to me" when asked. But gradually, after she came home from school, she would talk about some interesting things that happened in class during dinner. Of course, most of them were about how Narusuke Wakano made a fool of himself, how he was beaten up by Riki-sensei, or how he was so poor that he had to borrow money from his students …
From this, it could be seen that having a clown was indeed effective in opening up a wounded heart.
As long as the clown wasn't him, everything was fine.
Seeing how Bai Ju happily talked about how Narusuke Wakano made a fool of himself in front of the students, Satoshi silently gave him a thumbs up in his mind.
I'll help him out a few times for free in the future. '
However, it wasn't as if Bai Ju didn't feel depressed at times. That was the way his classmates reacted towards Spiritual Ability users and demons.
Bai Ju knew very well that when she was young, she was regarded as a monster by the children in her village because of her powerful Spiritual Power, and they were unwilling to interact with her. But now, after more than a hundred years, she discovered to her astonishment that not only were the children in her class not afraid of Spiritual Ability users, they even felt that Spiritual Ability users were cool, cool, and stylish. In fact, they even wished that they could become Spiritual Ability users themselves!
This made Bai Ju feel extremely complicated. She was a street rat that everyone wanted to beat up in the past, but in the blink of an eye, she had become a popular idol?
Was that even possible?
Especially when the children said that the teacher named Naruno Narusuke had a ghost sealed in his left hand. With a ghost hand, he could destroy all demons and ghosts. Some of them even excitedly told their stories of encountering monsters or ghosts and being saved by Narusuke Sugano.
Bai Ju didn't know what to say … Aren't they afraid?
Of course, from the words of these children, Bai Ju could feel that they really trusted the teacher named Naruto Sakano. Although from her point of view, after interacting with him for the past few days, she felt that this Mr. Kenye was a little amusing, and … well, it was hard to describe with words.
Not only that, Hayashi also learned that Bai Ju had made several good friends in school. Apart from the heroine Yōko Inaba, she also had a good relationship with Nakajima Noriko and Kikuchi Shizuka … Well, for Hayashi, of course, this was something worth congratulating.
After everything had calmed down, she went back to the Metropolitan Police Department to report the final results of the case.
"The old men up there almost died of anger."
The Kendo Police officer was leaning back on the sofa and watching the horse race with a lazy look on his face.
"The case of Hiyama was even reported in a supernatural magazine. It caused quite a stir. I was taught a good lesson."
"But when the media reporters went over, all they saw was the lively development of Hiyama."
Hayashi sneered at the Kendo Police officer's complaints.
"That's how the media works. Once they stir up the topic once, they won't care about it anymore. Instead of waiting for a scandal to break out after the development of Hiyama, it's better to stir up the topic early. That way, it'll be fine, and it'll heat up the atmosphere, won't it? "
"You're right …."
The Kendo Police officer put down the report in his hand helplessly.
"Forget it. It's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, if the media really dug up something troublesome, it would be a real headache for us."
The Dog Boy Officer couldn't help but let out a sigh.
"But … the media is really annoying sometimes."
"Oh?"
"The media is very good at spreading rumors. Because of that, it also brings us a lot of trouble."
The Kendo Police officer looked at Hayashi and asked.
"Do you know about the unfortunate letter?"
"Hmm … I think I received a letter saying that if I don't send the letter to ten people, I'll meet with misfortune?"
"That's right. It's because the entertainment media published this kind of thing half-jokingly that we have such a headache."
The Kendo Police officer shook his head.
"But there's something more troublesome than the unfortunate letter …. Miss Hayashi, have you heard of the cursed video?"
"Huh?!"
Hayashi, who was yawning, suddenly became alert.
Wait, could it be …. Could it be the one I'm thinking of!
"Tell me in detail."
"This is the latest information we received …."
The Kendo Police officer took out a case file as he spoke.
"A high school student died suddenly. The reason is unknown. But not only him, but several of his classmates also died one after another. According to the notes of the police investigation, some of them said that before they died, they had watched a videotape. It said that if the videotape is not shown to others within seven days, they will die. "
Oh? That's it! That's it!
The Kendo Police officer was completely alert.
"What about the cause of death of the students?"
"The forensic results are here. They all died of a sudden illness. There are no signs of poisoning, and it's not certain if there's a curse. We don't know what to do now, and we don't know where to trace the whereabouts of this videotape. "
"Then leave it to me."
"Oh? Is that okay? "
The Kendo Police officer was surprised to see Hayashi taking the initiative. Generally speaking, although Hayashi would always accept a commission from the Metropolitan Police Department, this was the first time she took the initiative to take over an investigation.
"Of course."
Facing the Kendo Police officer's question, Hayashi nodded firmly.
"I'm familiar with this!"
That's right, there's nothing more familiar to Hayashi than this, okay?
The cursed videotape!
In other words …. Sadako!!
The main character of a horror movie that was all the rage back then!
Not only that, the reason why Hayashi wanted to find Sadako was because she wanted to see if this Sadako was the movie version or the real version.
Many people had seen the movie "Ring" before. They knew that Sadako was a beautiful woman who died in a well. Her hatred turned into resentment, which turned into a videotape. Anyone who watched the videotape would die if they didn't show the videotape to others within seven days.
The reason why the movie was so popular back then was because the curse "you'll die if you don't show it to others for seven days" was quite unique. In the beginning, the movie "Ring" was also played in the form of a videotape, which made it even more immersive.
Of course, when put on the internet now, everyone knew that this was actually viral, but back then, people were simple and unsophisticated, so it was easy to be deceived.
But in fact, according to the original version, Sadako was not a woman at all.
Or rather, she was half man and half woman.
According to the description in some small books, Sadako was, strictly speaking, a FUTA.
Of course, from a medical point of view, Sadako's situation was what they called "intersex", or hermaphrodites. The reason she was killed, according to the final description of the original work, was that the hospital director had taken a fancy to Sadako's beauty and planned to rape her by the well.
However, Sadako was not an ordinary woman. If her secret was discovered, it would be equivalent to her social death. Therefore, she simply used her psionic power to manipulate the hospital director to kill herself. Then, she imprinted her will into the videotape, turning herself into a violent evil spirit.
However, in order to avoid complicating things, the movie simply set Sadako as a woman.
Of course, it wasn't just a problem of Sadako's gender. In fact, "Ring" was not a horror movie, but a science fiction movie. In the fourth movie, the truth was completely revealed. It turned out that the world Sadako and the main character lived in was not the real world, but a virtual world similar to the "brain in a vat" in The Matrix. And Sadako was the mutated virus, similar to Smith in "The Matrix". She wanted to use this videotape to spread her infection and completely destroy that world.
Hmm … .fortunately, there were no more movies after "Ring". Otherwise, who knows how the audience would feel if there were three or four movies.
But "Ring" seemed to have been released earlier than "The Matrix" ….
The reason why Masaru was so interested in this matter was because she wanted to find out whether the Sadako in this world was a woman or a hermaphrodite. Secondly, Sadako was a childhood memory, so she naturally wanted to observe it. Lastly, if she could seal Sadako, then maybe when she met Kayako in the future, she could even replicate "Sadako vs. Kayako" in real life. Let's see who would win without a script and director ….
Thinking of this, Masaru became even more excited. She could not wait to find out the truth.
"Leave this matter to me!"
