The prevalence of strange tales and supernatural rumors has also sparked discussion.

"This is not a good thing for the whole world."

"Hasegawa Izumi," she suddenly said.

"Why, Club President?"

Someone said in a cute voice.

What do you think ghost stories are?

He countered with a question to the crowd.

"It must be some kind of evil spirit, right?"

Nibuya Morika made this deduction.

Others generally held the same view.

"If they are truly ghost stories, then in essence, they are independent existences born from the thoughts of all living beings, and evil spirits are basically the spirits of the dead, meaning they had stories from their previous lives."

He explained.

"I see."

"In other words, the more popular the topic becomes, the more powerful the so-called ghost stories become?"

"Being talked about makes me stronger, I want that feeling too!"

"My Lord Sage, should we immediately eliminate these Urban Legend and put an end to them?"

Everyone nodded, then suddenly realized something.

"Since it originates from everyone's belief, the existence of ghost stories is difficult to eradicate. Even if you kill it, it will soon revive. Although this cannot be considered a complete resurrection, it is just a continuation of the original setting."

The girls were stunned.

I never imagined that the ghost stories were actually 'immortal' beings.

"Even if the Lord Sage intervenes, Death won't be able to help?"

Dekomori Sanae asked anxiously.

"Sure."

His answer instantly put the girls at ease.

If only Hasegawa can solve it, then none of that matters.

"There is no true immortality in this world, neither humans nor gods... Perhaps, even the seemingly infinite universe is the same."

Hasegawa Izumi sighed.

"However, I can't possibly go around hunting them down all over the world just to eliminate these threats."

Life and death are preordained, wealth and honor are determined by fate.

In reality, having experienced so much in his dreams, he didn't care much about the lives of other people; the vast and complex stream of consciousness unconsciously influenced his view of the world.

He just did what he thought of.

This is what is meant by doing whatever one pleases.

This state is actually quite dangerous, and it's easy to fall into a state of no return.

But as long as there are guiding signs, he can still retain his humanity.

The girls exchanged glances and discussed their opinions.

"There's really no need for you, Seeker of Truth, to worry about such things. We're enough."

Nibuya Morika said with a smile.

"I'd love to have opponents like these who can provide endless sparring; I actually hope they can be even more durable."

Natsukawa Masuzu, feeling frustrated due to her training, wanted to vent her frustrations.

"Every time they appear, kill them. That counts as eliminating Death."

Dekomori Sanae clapped her hands and said...

"Dumb tape, Sage."

Takanashi Rikka spoke briefly, but her voice was firm.

The club activity has ended.

The girls held another short meeting as a group.

"Servant, we can't always rely on the power of the Sage, otherwise we won't be able to grow..."

"That's right, the power of Seeker of Truth can only be used as a trump card, Little Dot, you better remember that!"

"Please don't bother the Club President anymore! I'm really worried about Club President; what if he ruins his health?"

Dekomori Sanae was verbally attacked by the other three members.

But this time, she was unusually quiet, without a single thought of rebuttal.

In the past, she would definitely have put on a tough front.

After finishing their rant, the girls officially began their discussion, setting out to tackle several of the most frequently mentioned Urban Legend recently.

Another day of overtime has come to an end.

The man wearily washed his face in the restroom, then quickly left the company.

As an ordinary office worker, I naturally couldn't afford the high taxi fare, so I had to hurry and catch the last subway train.

"Am I alone again today? That's nice, at least I don't have to squeeze in with other people..."

After entering the carriage, he glanced around at the empty space and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

After about ten minutes of driving...

"Strange, why hasn't it stopped yet?"

His brows were furrowed, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Normally, this subway train on my way home stops every seven or eight minutes, but it didn't today, which is really unusual.

At this moment, feeling a vague unease, he stood up.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

He went to the carriage near the front of the train and asked a question, but no one answered.

He hurriedly took out his phone and discovered that even the subway, which usually has good signal, had no signal.

Just then, the subway suddenly stopped.

"Click..."

The subway doors suddenly opened.

"No... no!"

"Could this be...?"

He swallowed hard, looked outside, and recalled the Urban Legend he had recently heard at the company. His legs felt as heavy as lead, and a look of fear crossed his face.

At that moment, he didn't see subway doors, but rather the gates of hell opening...

Chapter 60: Getting used to the days without Hasegawa.

It's the weekend.

The disguised members of the Far East Magic Society 'Tokyo headquarters met up.

Except for Hasegawa.

"Is this the first time we've launched such a large-scale operation without any Seeker of Truth of the truth?"

Nibuya Morika crossed her arms and looked around.

Apart from Takanashi Rikka and Dekomori Sanae, the others rarely cooperate.

"After all, I don't get along with you guys at all."

Natsukawa Masuzu smiled, her eyes narrowed.

"Same to you."

She answered with a smile.

"An imposter and a Witch, Dekumori has no desire to cooperate with you, Death."

Someone's arrogant expression.

"Everyone, since we're going to work together, wouldn't it be better to keep things harmonious?"

Yotsuya Miko a slight blush.

"Don't worry about that, we just need to achieve our goal!"

Takanashi Rikka waved her hand and seized the right to speak.

"Based on information provided by informants, we currently deduce that there are approximately three Urban Legend that may be active around Tokyo: the Kuchisake-onna, Hanako of the Toilet, and Kisaragi Station... The first two have eyewitness accounts and have received special attention from the Supernatural Countermeasures Bureau. It is said that they have been eliminated several times, but they regenerate every once in a while. Fortunately, they become weaker after regeneration, which greatly reduces the need for subsequent suppression."

"However, information about Kisaragi Station is scarce; we've hardly heard of it. It only appeared three months ago, and the passenger at that time happened to be an Awakened One, which is why he was lucky enough to escape. Now, three months have passed, and since it hasn't been destroyed, its power must have grown to an unimaginable level."

After her explanation, everyone's expressions immediately became serious.

Urban Legend are no ordinary thing. If it were an ordinary evil spirit, everyone could easily eliminate it by swarming around it. But if it were a ghost story, it would usually possess certain rule-based abilities, making it difficult for them to take advantage of their numbers.

"So, that means it's our target."

Natsukawa Masuzu thought.

"Yes, we must stop its upward trend, otherwise it will become too much of a threat."

Nibuya Morika nodded as well.

"Without further ado, let's set off now, Death!"

Dekomori Sanae leaped with great enthusiasm.

Do you know where it is?

"Ah... Greek milk."

She received glances from others.

"So, we need to confirm its existence first. Based on numerous reports of people disappearing after boarding the train, Kisaragi Station changes its location each time it commits a crime. The places where missing persons have been reported recently are probably around here, here, and here... We can only choose to stake out its appearance at the surrounding stations... It seems we have to split up, otherwise it will be too slow and we might easily miss it."

Takanashi Rikka took out a prepared map and pointed to the locations of several subway stations.

"So, it all came down to luck?"

Yotsuya Miko murmured softly.

"You're not scared, are you?"

Natsukawa Masuzu scoffed.

"Don't give me that crap, who's afraid of Death!"

Dekomori Sanae out her chest proudly.

After discussing the matter, they decided to split up and guard different subway stations.

However, the girls were not entirely unprepared.

"This is a paper doll I made. If you encounter any danger, destroy it. It will leave a mark so that others can roughly know your location."

Yotsuya Miko took out a paper doll from her small bag; its shape was probably a cartoon version of herself.

Thanks.

The others who accepted the gift expressed their gratitude.

"That makes it much safer."
