Chapter Summaries

Shen Yuanyi and Megumi Fushiguro searched Yamaga Shrine’s surroundings for the curse connected to the streamer’s footage, finding faint traces near the ancient tree and a hidden presence in the forest. After Shen Yuanyi drew it out as a huge black snake, he left Megumi to fight it while he considered where it had come from.

Shen Yuanyi tracked down Uehara Masanobu, learned that Mahito had transformed him and Matsumoto Tadan, and then found Mahito at a hospital.
