Chapter 2: Night shift incident

The rain outside the door gradually became lighter, and the street lights flickered, flickering on and off.

Suzuna Kuraki followed the gentle rhythm of Yui Shikamoto on the screen and kept cheering softly: "Yui Shikamoto is the best! Yui Shikamoto is the best!"

From time to time, she would look back and be wary of the surveillance footage. The "haunted house" from the famous classic horror film "The Grudge" was used to commit crimes in Nerima District. It was also the main stage of the story of "Tokyo Ghoul" and the recent ghost-detection variety show.

The filming started in Nerima District. If it were not for the fact that the night shift salary is higher than in other districts, Kuraki Suzuna would not be so courageous to come to Nerima part-time.

After Nobutaka Shikamoto deduced the truth of the Yui Shikamoto singing incident, his eyes were as clear as water and he looked out the window.

There have been a lot of clues in the recent news. After Lu Benwei refused the notice from the ghost-detection variety show, the acting singer was banned and supernatural incidents immediately emerged. It is impossible that there is no fishy nature in it.

In order for the promotion of the supernatural variety show to be reasonable, the TV station must of course artificially create the illusion that a supernatural event occurred somewhere in Tokyo. The effect would be better if there were more than ten "passers-by who have personally experienced it".

The truth behind the ban on acting as a substitute singer was probably the prerequisite for Lu Benwei to learn about the ghost-detection variety show - someone pretended to be a ghost to create panic, and her inner sense of justice made her refuse to inform. The production team was afraid that the truth would be exposed in advance, so she would be banned.

There are no supernatural beings in the world. Some people need to detect spirits, so there are supernatural beings.

The human heart is much scarier than ghosts.

The black can be painted as white, the beautiful can be painted as ugly, and the expensive can be painted as cheap. What is the moral integrity of media people, doesn’t Shikamoto Nobutaka know?

The clock in the convenience store was ticking, and Nobuyaka Shikamoto was silently waiting for the system cooling time to return to zero.

On the system interface, the countdown to drawing cards keeps flashing.

[Distance to the next card draw:]

【00:06:23】

[Current equipment card:]

[Character Card: Cashier]

[Quality: Ordinary]

[Card Features: You can always find discounted products, and you will get 1.5 million yen immediately after destroying them.]

For the cash-strapped Shikamoto Nobutaka, being able to work part-time properly after equipping this card is like giving him timely help. He has not yet gone through the enrollment procedures, and naturally does not have a part-time authorization letter. Even with an authorization letter, minors are prohibited from working night shifts.

, the hourly wage will also be discounted accordingly.

His system is similar to a card-based mobile game. Each card drawn can give him a different identity and corresponding abilities. The cooldown time of card drawing is linked to the role-playing time.

In his previous life, he had invested in an online literature platform and a mobile game company. He had a certain understanding of this aspect and adapted quickly. He escaped from the original owner's father's grounding order. After equipping a character card, he changed his identity and easily escaped surveillance.

It would be great if the character cards drawn later can provide shortcuts.

If not, Shikamoto Nobutaka will pick up his old profession and pave the way for the future.

Shikamoto Nobutaka's time is very valuable, and spending it on part-time jobs is not just for the hourly wage.

It is not a problem to make ends meet just by working part-time at a convenience store, but tuition fees, living expenses and school fees will come one after another after the holidays, which cannot be solved by just working part-time at a convenience store.

The countdown to drawing cards is about to reach zero. Nobuyaka Shikamoto simply tidied up and left the cashier. He had a lot to do when he went back. The new project, Yui Shikamoto's questions and the new round of drawing cards were enough to keep him busy for a long time.

Already.

There was some resistance from behind Nobutaka Shikamoto. The corner of his clothes was pulled. His little hands were white and cold and trembling constantly. Suzuna Kuraki pointed at the monitor and almost screamed, but she didn't dare.

The other locations captured by the surveillance cameras were normal, except for the entrance of the convenience store.

A pale white dress fluttered in the breeze, and its long black hair covered its face, making it impossible to tell what the human-shaped object floating at the door was.

The drizzle was pouring, and the street lights made a short-circuiting sound of "pricking, plinking" at the right time, adding a bit of terror to the small convenience store out of thin air.

Shikamoto Nobutaka reacted quickly, picked up a baseball bat and walked out:

As luck would have it, it's probably the person from the Psychic variety show who plays the role.

I was still thinking of going home to discuss it with Lu Benwei, but they met in advance.

"Wait! Shikamoto-kun!" Suzuna Kuraki held him back and prevented him from leaving. There was only an automatic door between the two of them and "Sadako". If you include the monitor, there was only one monitor between them, which was even more terrifying.

Got it!

God knows if it will crawl out along the monitor, making it difficult to prevent it.

"?"

Shikamoto Nobutaka glanced at Kuraki Suzuna and motioned her to stay out of the way.

"Shikamoto-kun, aren't you afraid of ghosts and ghosts?"

"I'm afraid, but I'm not afraid of people who pretend to be gods and ghosts."

The answer was crisp and clear.

"..."

Kuraki Suzuna was stunned. Why was Shikamoto so sure that the "Sadako" outside must be a fake?

Shikamoto Nobutaka sneered and strode out.

The man outside is not only a man pretending to be a ghost, but also has a group of TV stations following him, waiting to see the passers-by make fools of themselves.

When the ghost-hunting variety show becomes obsolete and the "ghost reality show" is filmed, Jianjian can continue to harvest a large number of ratings for the TV station, and he will become the old leek harvester.

"Shikamoto-kun! Shikamoto-kun! Wait for me, Shikamoto-kun!" Suzuna Kuraki followed behind Nobuyaka Shikamoto. She was extremely frightened and worried about Nobuyaka Shikamoto. How could he go out so recklessly? What if someone at the door

What should I do if "Sadako" is real?

The man who was pretending to be "Sadako" at the door was overjoyed when he saw the door of the convenience store wide open. Another fish had been taken! The camera only took a clearer picture when the person came out. He was just worried about what to do if the convenience store employees retreated inside.

.

His joy only lasted for three seconds. The baseball bat in Nobutaka Shikamoto's hand taught him what it means to be extremely happy and to be sad.

There was a "clang" sound,

"Sadako" felt like stars were shining in her eyes, the warmth from her forehead flowed down the bridge of her nose to her mouth, and the smell of iron spread in her nasal cavity.

Before he could even make a move to scare people, Nobutaka Shikamoto hit a beautiful bye home run and even his wig was knocked off.

The figure of Shikamoto Nobutaka was divided into three lines in his eyes, sometimes scattered and sometimes overlapping.

"Sadako" covered her bald head that had been opened, her face was shiny and full of disbelief:

That person is definitely a lunatic, right?

How dare he attack the female ghost?

How dare you!

Kuraki Suzuna saw the true face of "Sadako" clearly, and the more she looked at it, the more familiar she became. It took her a long time to realize: "Ah! Isn't this Master Shinsho from the Psychic variety show? How strange!"

Shikamoto Nobutaka was not surprised at all, he just didn't expect that the monks from Reiming Temple would personally go into battle and pretend to be ghosts.

Reality is always very absurd,

The person who removes ghosts and the one who pretends to be a ghost happen to be the same person.

To carry out these unscrupulous tasks, you can only find people who are easy to deal with. In the news in recent months, Shikamoto Nobutaka only discovered that Shiraishi Shinmasa, who was almost fired by Reimeiji Temple, cooperated with the ghost removal of my wife Sakigawa in the spirit exploration variety show.

He is also the master. A half-baked monk turned into a master of exorcism. Even fools know that there are benefits involved.

Since the popularity of the psychic variety show, Shiraishi Shinzheng, who appeared on the show, has also become more and more popular. Businesses such as psychic mediumship, spiritual practice, and spiritual removal have become more and more difficult.

What’s ridiculous is that before the Soul Quest variety show aired, Shiraishi Shin’s reputation was unknown, and he was almost deprived of his right to inherit the temple because of his style. It was the show’s production team who made him appear to be possessed by Amaterasu and the reincarnation of Abe Seimei.

Pretending to be ghosts - detecting ghosts - removing ghosts, one-stop service, cleaning the underworld every day, the house prices in the underworld have been raised by them.

Some people only talk about supernatural beings, but their hearts are full of business.

Seeing that the baseball bat in Shikamoto Nobutaka's hand was about to fall again, Shiraishi Kokoro knelt down and kowtowed, shaking like chaff: "I was forced here by the production team! Mother, mother, she has a malignant tumor, I need money, a lot of money

I don’t dare to ask you to be so generous with money, but I’m afraid that if I die, my mother..."

Shikamoto Nobutaka felt pity for a moment and hesitated for two seconds.

The brief peace was broken by Kuraki Suzuna's innocence: "Ah? But Master Xinzheng, you clearly said in the ghost-detection program that you grew up in Lingming Temple, without a mother, and you are an orphan!"

"Clang!"

Another heavy blow.

Shikamoto Nobutaka laughed at himself for being soft-hearted, saying that intersex people who make fun of their loved ones do not deserve sympathy.

Besides, what he hated most in his previous life was fake monks.

He wanted to laugh when he recalled his first business war, when his competitor was defeated by him, he fell seriously ill and chose to become a monk.

Before becoming a monk, the man had to bury nails in his old club to prevent Lumang from acquiring him. Lumang was overly conceited, ignored his advice, and forcibly swallowed a large piece of poisonous meat.

In fact, the nail planted by the competitor did trigger Lumang's big crisis more than ten years later. It was also for this reason that he drank too much and traveled across the island country.

Ah......
Chapter completed!
