Sadako's Videotape (4K, Please Keep Reading)

"Pervert!"

Inside the Odd Jobs Shop.

Miko awkwardly wore a secretary outfit, with black stockings on her legs. This mature style was something she would never have imagined wearing at her age.

And here she had thought Bai Ye was a decent gentleman. She had misunderstood him.

Sure enough, she was still too young.

"Miko, clean this place up first, then sort out the things here. I'm heading out to eat. What do you want? I'll bring you something back."

Bai Ye sized Miko up and down. This was what it meant to be a feast for the eyes. Looking closely, aside from her figure not being particularly outstanding, everything else was quite good.

Especially with a JK girl dressed as a secretary, that slightly embarrassed expression on her face gave Bai Ye a rather unusual feeling.

It was a kind of aura that old hands who had been in society for years simply did not possess.

No wonder all those bosses in his previous life loved hiring college students as secretaries.

Sure enough, this contradictory charm was truly a test of one's willpower!

"Just any bento is fine."

Although she had already labeled Bai Ye a pervert in her heart, Miko still kept a relatively low profile.

She was here to work, and although Bai Ye looked at her, he did not have a lecherous expression. Nor did he try anything inappropriate, so Miko did not say much.

Still, why did she feel like she had come here to do odd jobs?

Looking at the messy surroundings, Miko truly could not imagine what a disaster this Agency would become without her.

"Alright."

Bai Ye nodded, then went out for a meal and bought Miko a bento with meat and vegetables.

When he returned to the Odd Jobs Shop and pushed open the door, Bai Ye saw Miko kneeling on the floor with her back to him, sorting things beneath a desk.

From this angle, Bai Ye finally understood why those getting-stuck scenarios existed. He suddenly felt an inexplicable urge to pay tribute to those teachers.

"Is the boss back?"

Miko twisted her body and backed out from under the desk. When she turned around, the faint smudges of dust on her face and the headscarf she wore made her look exactly like the characters from those maid-service games.

"Miko, you've nearly finished cleaning up, right? Eat first."

As he spoke, Bai Ye handed the lunch box in his hand to Miko.

"Mm-hm, thank you, Boss. I cleaned up a lot of trash and threw it out for you. Also, there was a delivery box here. It seems to be for you. Since you hadn't opened it, I brought it out for you."

As she spoke, Miko handed Bai Ye a parcel. The delivery address written on it was for the Odd Jobs Shop App, so it had clearly been sent here.

"Strange. My Odd Jobs Shop hasn't even been open for long, and someone's already sent me a package? Same-city delivery?"

Bai Ye rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look flashing through his eyes.

Since the name written on it was Odd Jobs Shop rather than Bai Ye, it meant this item had originally been meant for the shop.

Whatever. He would open it and see. It was not like someone would send him a bomb, right?

With that thought, Bai Ye directly opened the box. Inside, there was only a videotape lying quietly within it.

"Uh, Boss, you didn't order one of those videos online, did you? Should I step outside for a while?"

Miko had not thought much of it when she saw the videotape, but when she saw the cover, her expression became strange.

[Miss Secretary, you don't want to lose your job, do you? Your husband Ryosuke is on the layoff list!]

Ah!!!?

Secretary?

Wasn't that her?

And the cover was incredibly hard to describe.

In a bedroom... what was being taken out? If she had to pick two words from that pile of nonsense, Miko did not dare think about it!

Steam practically rose from Miko's head. Thinking about her identity and then seeing this videotape, she suddenly realized that her situation seemed rather dangerous.

But it said married on the tape. She was not married yet, so it should not be that, right?

Or was marriage merely Bai Ye's mission because he liked that sort of thing?

Huh?

"I didn't buy it. Who sent me something like this? I absolutely have to criticize it harshly!!"

Damn it!

Someone had actually sent him this kind of video!

With a critical gaze, Bai Ye put the videotape into the computer.

He wanted to see what kind of plot it had!

"Um..."

Miko's legs felt weak. She wanted to run, but it felt as though all the strength had been drained from her body.

No!

She could not stay here any longer. If she remained, would something bad happen later?

Miko forced her legs to move, but before she could leave, a dried-up well on the screen caught her attention.

"Eh!? It doesn't seem to be that kind of video."

Why did this scene look so creepy?

If it were that kind of video, it should not start like this. Shouldn't there be some passionate music first?

Then, a pair of hands reached out from the dry well. Bai Ye immediately turned to look at Miko strangely.

This videotape recorded the process of a girl being murdered, and it was the famous Sadako's Videotape!

Anyone who watched it would die within seven days. The only way to break the curse was to make someone else watch the videotape, transferring the curse to them.

He was completely numb!

This woman really had a spirit-attracting constitution!

It had not even been long since he had made Miko his secretary.

And now she had already been targeted by a Ghost?

"Why are you looking at me?"

Miko looked at Bai Ye warily. Was it because he had not gotten to see that kind of video, so he was planning to try it with her instead?

And would he record it afterward?

Then he would keep threatening her with the video forever!

Damn it!

She was still just a young girl with limitless possibilities ahead of her. Why did it feel like her life was already over?

"Nothing. I just think your constitution is truly impressive. This videotape is Sadako's Videotape. Anyone who watches it will be killed by Sadako within seven days."

Bai Ye shrugged. He could tell what Miko was thinking, but compared to her concerns, he had no mood to flirt with her. If it had been before, he definitely would have teased the girl in front of him.

But now that Sadako had targeted them, this was not good news.

Whoever sent the tape, you're such a fucking bastard!

They had actually used this kind of packaging to catch his attention.

Curiosity really did kill the cat!

"No way? Am I really that unlucky?"

Miko's face instantly fell. It had only been a short while, and she had already been targeted by a Ghost.

"Anyway, you watched this video with me, so you've been targeted too. I don't care, but you might. Sadako can attack you anytime and anywhere, and this Ghost is definitely far more dangerous than any Ghost you've encountered before. It's not like she won't touch you just because you pretend not to see her. We've already triggered her curse!"

The Ghosts in this world seemed to follow certain rules when killing people.

For example, seeing them, or certain mediums, such as Kayako's house and Sadako's videotape.

Before the medium was triggered, everyone could live safely without being targeted by Ghosts.

"So, for your safety, move in with me for the time being. Don't worry, I absolutely won't touch you!"

"Move in with you!!!?"

Miko's eyes widened as she stared at Bai Ye in disbelief. Did he even know what he was saying?

"Of course. That's the only way I can protect you. Besides, people call me the honest and reliable young gentleman. I always keep my word!"

That made him sound even less trustworthy!

Miko had trusted Bai Ye once just now, and now she had been forced into black stockings and a secretary outfit.

She felt that if she lived with Bai Ye, something very bad would happen.

"Boss, your house has two rooms, right?"

Miko's eyes were filled with a sliver of hope. If there were two rooms, then perhaps it would not be too much of a problem.

"Don't worry, my house only has one room."

Listening to Bai Ye's punchable tone, Miko really wanted to punch his smiling face.

But she did not dare to challenge her boss.

"Will I really die?"

"Really. I wouldn't lie to you about something like this. Also, regarding Sadako, I'll give you two Talismans. If anything happens, call me immediately. In short, this Ghost is very troublesome, understand?"

Bai Ye looked at Miko very seriously. He had already realized Miko's value.

At the same time, he did not want Miko to die just like that. He would still need her to attract Ghosts here in the future.

Besides, Bai Ye had a feeling that after dealing with Sadako, he would definitely get another chance at a draw.

"I understand, Boss. Then you have to swear that you absolutely won't do anything improper!"

"I swear!"

Bai Ye quickly raised a hand.

Young lady, does anyone really believe a man's oath?

"Then go back and pack first. Don't worry, she won't come for you today."

Death within seven days meant the next few days would most likely be safe, so there was no need to worry.

"Oh, then can I come over on the seventh day?"

The girl was quite clever. She had learned to draw inferences from one example. Since it was the seventh day, she might as well come over then.

"Of course you can!"

Bai Ye's smiling gaze made Miko feel even less certain.

After all, she had no idea whether Sadako would really come to kill her at the exact time. If the Ghost did not follow the schedule and came early to kill her, would she not be doomed?

With her head hanging low, Miko said goodbye to Bai Ye and prepared to go home, pack her things, and temporarily move in with him for a while.

She was actually somewhat hesitant. It was her first time living with a man, and though it was under such bizarre circumstances, Miko truly believed Bai Ye's words.

Because she had heard of Sadako's Videotape before!

She had once dismissed such urban legends with disdain, but ever since she had gained the ability to see Ghosts, Miko truly believed in them.

Still, she had only heard about Sadako's Videotape. This was her first time seeing it. So this was what Sadako's Videotape was like.

And it seemed somewhat different from what others had told her and what Bai Ye had said.

Shaking her head, Miko ultimately decided to trust Bai Ye. Perhaps anyone who had encountered this urban legend in the past had already died, while the stories circulating now were merely exaggerated or fabricated. Bai Ye was more reliable. After all, using his Talismans to destroy Ghosts had truly happened and was no fake.

Slice of Life Byakuya: [I just watched Sadako's Videotape. I'm panicking!]

If Sadako was the one from the urban legend, it would be manageable. But if she was Sadako from The Ring novel, he would probably be dead for sure.

That was already playing with concepts. Sadako in that version was basically invincible.

Hokage Byakuya: [Holy shit? That insane?]

Yokai Byakuya: [Isn't Conan in your world? Who says seven days have to be seven days?]

Talking about time in Detective Conan World?

Maybe Sadako would not show up for years.

Zombie Byakuya: [Makes sense, but she might also appear immediately. Conan's timeline can't be explained.]

Either she would not come at all, or she would come right away. Looking at it that way, it was not impossible.

Slice of Life Byakuya: [I'm just praying she isn't the Sadako from the novel!]

He was not worried about when Sadako would come. His only concern was which Sadako she was.

Pirate Byakuya: [Actually, I've always had a question. If Sadako comes out of the television, then if you turn off the TV when she's halfway out, would she get stuck inside? Wouldn't that mean you could do whatever you wanted, just like in those hot-blooded anime?]

Holy shit?

Bro, wasn't your focus a little weird?

You were actually already making plans for Sadako?

Still, if turning off the TV really trapped her there, it felt like he had seen something like that in an anime before.

King of Fighters Byakuya: [There's another way. Since Sadako comes out of the TV, put two TVs together and turn them both on. Would Sadako just keep crawling? Once she gets exhausted and has no strength left, couldn't you make your move?]

Biohazard Byakuya: [My suggestion is to turn the screen toward a wall. When Sadako crawls out, she'll definitely smash her head into it!]

Hong Kong-Integrated Byakuya: [My suggestion is to find three people and set up a mahjong table. Three short of one—Sadako definitely won't be able to refuse!]

Shinigami Byakuya: [Find a cage and point the TV at its door. Once Sadako crawls in, lock it up and study her properly!]

Pirate Byakuya: [No, no, no! You're all too outdated. Buy Sadako an LV bag. No woman can resist that!!!]

Zombie Byakuya: [Not reliable. Just marry Sadako and live happily ever after!]

Slice of Life Byakuya: [You guys are fucking geniuses!]

They were truly fucking geniuses. Were they comedians sent by monkeys?

Slice of Life Byakuya: [Forget it, we'll see when the time comes. @Shinigami Byakuya, lend me your Zanpakuto when the time comes!]

Shinigami Byakuya: [OK!]

Zombie Byakuya: [I'll lend you some things too when the time comes. I'll stop here—I'm about to reach Renjia Town. Talk later.]
