Shadow Yuko's Scheme

If Itou Kaiji were truly in mortal danger, that card could buy Itou Kaiji a chance to escape.

However, with red warnings of danger still appearing on the Diary, it was hard to say whether someone might die in the basement before Satoru Gojo, who was always late, arrived.

"So stop warning me all the time. It's like you're the one who's been given a red fever," Miyauchi Hiyage muttered to himself, holding Kanoe Yuko's Diary. "You've already overdrawn your mental Diary once. If you really think the situation is urgent, why don't you overdraw them again to activate another layer of mental protection?"

As a proponent of the GOOD END, Miyauchi Hiyage naturally hopes to see the stories he has experienced achieve a relatively perfect ending.

If they really can't hold out until Satoru Gojo arrives, Miyauchi Hiyage will have no choice but to send his Yellow Temperance disguised as another Vengeful Spirit to cause trouble.

However, as Miyauchi Hiyage muttered to himself in the Diary in his hand, it seemed that the gray Diary in his hand had also confirmed Miyauchi Hiyage's identity.

"With the approval of the highest authority detected, the diary access permissions for this Diary are temporarily granted to the holder Kanoe Yuko."

"Please note that if the holder of the Diary is unable to settle the debts of the Diary within the specified time, the Diary will take enforcement measures against the holder."

Seeing the words that suddenly appeared before him, Miyauchi Hiyage raised an eyebrow.

How come these days, even systems can come up with microloan functions?

It seems that this special feature is only unlocked after the Diary's permissions are reached at a higher level.

So, in other words, in the future, the Diary might introduce a bunch of Diary that encourage its owners to overspend.

The thought of a group of girls burdened with Reading Points and loans is not something that can be solved by someone like Teacher Da Xiang, who works as a customer service representative.

However, since you, Kanoe Yuko, have personally delivered this Diary to me, let me make this decision for you.

If you don't want to succumb to the pain of the past again, here's a small loan to save your life.

What will happen to Kanoe Yuko currently has no other means of earning Reading Points, if she is unable to repay her loan in the future?

At worst, you can just accept the punishment from the Diary; the Diary will at least leave you a way out.

Miyauchi Hiyage muttered to himself, then decisively chose to enable the Diary Loan permission. He then became the first person to experience the Diary Loan function and saw its interface.

The functions are indeed quite simple.

Diary Loans offers a variety of loan programs for different Diary holders.

Borrowing more Reading Points can help speed up your cultivation when you have gained new power but don't have enough Reading Points. This function doesn't consume much, and as long as you can repay it within the specified time, you can even borrow it for a certain extent without interest.

However, Miyauchi Hiyage believes that other functions may be added in the future, making the loan Reading Points function more specific.

Secondly, there's the future of loans.

Consuming Reading Points allows one to know a certain extent about the future, enabling them to make decisions before events occur.

This should be the main area of spending for those girls in the future.

After studying the function carefully, Miyauchi Hiyage realized that it couldn't let these girls know their complete future; it could only be used for specific things.

It seems to be a substitute for the Fate skill that Miyauchi Hiyage has now obtained, which can only see the near future and not the more macro-level changes in fate.

In other words, the girls who obtained the Diary could only learn about their original fates by reading the diaries they had written.

And that comes next is loan strength.

The function is naturally very simple: to gain strength far exceeding one's current level within a certain period of time. It's obvious that this expensive project is designed to save one's life in critical moments.

With this feature, as long as you're willing to pay the price, you can really become a loan champion.

After briefly reviewing the loan information, Miyauchi Hiyage didn't hesitate much.

Kanoe Yuko probably doesn't even know what Reading Points is right now, and even if she did, she wouldn't have the power to change the current crisis.

Since that's the case, what else is there to say?

I'll pay for the upgrade. JPG

Holding Kanoe Yuko's Diary, Miyauchi Hiyage immediately arranged a special meal for Kanoe Yuko.

Of course, he was lenient with the time. Considering that Satoru Gojo would probably arrive in about ten minutes, he only gave him the lowest-level ten-minute trial period.

Based on Kanoe Yuko's current strength, a 10-minute premium package is expected to consume 100 Reading Points. This is the first time she's tried this discount, which is equivalent to the first recharge in a game, allowing her to enjoy the original half-price discount.

This is equivalent to exchanging 20 Reading Points for one minute of top-tier strength under normal circumstances.

Although this "Special Grade" is just the lowest quality kind of "Special Grade".

Not the superhuman who can easily overpower a top-tier Vengeful Spirit, but rather the weakest among all top-tier Vengeful Spirit.

Without power, without realm, without combat experience, there is no way one could have a domain.

A premium package that grants mastery of domain abilities starts at 100 and up, since this is the ability that truly makes enemies without domain abilities as weaklings to be defeated.

The current premium package for Kanoe Yuko provides her with the resentment of a premium Vengeful Spirit, and it's a one-time offer.

This power diminishes with every use.

It doesn't replenish itself after it's used up, and it disappears automatically after the time is up.

However, having the strength of a top-tier Vengeful Spirit is enough to give Kanoe Yuko a significant advantage when facing Vengeful Spirit below the top tier. If Kanoe Yuko had any fighting spirit, she could suppress those Vengeful Spirit below the top tier by simply releasing these powers in the way Shadow Yuuko does.

As for 100 Reading Points, that's really not much.

Based on the speed at which the other girls accumulate Reading Points, they could accumulate enough in just over a month, even without any commissions.

As for someone like Shiina Mashiro, at her current pace, she could earn 100 Reading Points in about a week.

So we can try to lure Kanoe Yuko to Tokyo and have her compete with the girls from the first batch of Diary for commissions.

I believe that since everyone knows she still owes so many Reading Points for her Diary, they won't care about this kind of thing.

Miyauchi Hiyage muttered to himself, then put the other person's Diary back into his backpack.

Fujimiya Miki, standing to the side, sensed that Miyauchi Hiyage in front of her had been staring blankly at the backpack for less than half a minute, and felt that there might be some secret there.

But having already learned too many secrets from Miyauchi Hiyage tonight, she remained silent, simply staying peacefully by Miyauchi Hiyage's side.

After Miyauchi Hiyage her head again, she asked him if the so-called reinforcements could arrive before anyone else was in danger.

Hearing this, Miyauchi Hiyage looked towards the basement from afar.

"It's hard to say. If the other party can arrive within ten minutes, there shouldn't be too much of a problem."

Miyauchi Hiyage is not referring to the safety of Ito Itou Kaiji and his group, but rather to the safety of Shadow Yuuko.

After all, although Shadow Yuuko has strength that exceeds that of ordinary level one, she has not yet reached the level of special level.

Originally, she was only able to continuously compress Kanoe Yuko's living space by relying on her own strength being superior to Kanoe Yuko's, so that she could successfully break free from the control of Kanoe Yuko's original body after Kanoe Yuko recalled what happened back then.

If Kanoe Yuko's power were even slightly greater, her control over Shadow Yuuko as her true form would naturally become even more pronounced.

Therefore, when Miyauchi Hiyage opened his eyes again and looked towards the basement, the scene before him had already changed again in just one minute.

The entrance to the basement.

Kanoe Yuko's condition was already very bad.

Although her mind was protected by the Diary, it could not be penetrated by the other party's resentment.

But as Shadow Yuuko brought up the events of that year again, she even deliberately revealed the corpse in front of Kanoe Yuko.

Kanoe Yuko's own Spiritual Body immediately became unstable due to the chaos within her.

The more she recalled the pain of her past life, the more she felt her Spiritual Body becoming fragmented. If this continued, she would even split off her current self again, leaving only the one who knew nothing and was even weaker.

However, just as Kanoe Yuko was suffering from a splitting headache due to the pain she had endured in her previous life, Shadow Yuuko was not far away, also revealed a greedy expression as she felt the turmoil in her own body and wanted to absorb the soul that had been split off from the other party to strengthen herself.

An incredibly powerful force inexplicably surged from Kanoe Yuko's body.

Shadow Yuuko, who had just approached Kanoe Yuko, was blasted back several meters by this violent aura.

Even in the face of this immense power originating from Kanoe Yuko, the Spiritual Power in the Ley Line that was originally controlled by Shadow Yuuko subconsciously changed its controller, transferring from Shadow Yuuko to Kanoe Yuko.

The illusion she had created was forcibly shattered by this powerful force.

The first to recover from that endless hatred and pain was naturally Hiiragi Inori, who was protected by Spiritual Power and her Miko Robes.

The moment she regained consciousness, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

If this continues, she'll probably be completely assimilated by Kanoe Yuko's resentment in less than half an hour.

However, before she could even think about how she had broken free from the illusion, the next moment, due to the power unleashed by Kanoe Yuko, she felt as if she had been struck by a heavy blow, and her body jolted backward.

Fortunately, she was wearing the Hiiragi Family's ancestral Miko Robes, which protected her from a lot of damage; otherwise, she would probably have been knocked unconscious on the spot by that one blow.

As for Kanoe Kirie and Itou Kaiji?

Itou Kaiji was alright, because he was standing behind Hiiragi Inori, and because Hiiragi Inori absorbed most of the power, he didn't suffer much damage.

Kanoe Kirie was not so lucky. He was directly blasted to the edge of the shrine by this force. Just as he was escaping the illusion of pain and hatred, he was stunned by Kanoe Yuko's outburst.

Shadow Yuuko, who had been knocked back several steps, stared blankly at her true form.

Despite the fact that his own power had been reduced to less than one-tenth over the years, his original body's strength was now completely gone.

Moreover, the other party was clearly on the verge of Spiritual Body breakdown because of what I just said.

Why was the opponent able to suddenly unleash such immense power at this moment?

This definitely already has the strength of a top-tier expert!

Feeling the almost insurmountable gap between her own power and the power unleashed by her opponent, Shadow Yuuko's gaze towards Kanoe Yuko became even more distorted.

After working so hard for so long, I'm only one step away from becoming a top-tier athlete.

However, his true form was able to secretly conceal a super-grade power, which was only revealed at the very end.

Even those whose hearts were filled with hatred and pain couldn't help but feel a sense of grievance at this moment.

This is so unfair! Isn't this bullying ghosts?!

Chapter 188: Shadow Yuuko's Scheme

Compared to the Shadow Yuuko's inner imbalance became even more distorted.

On Kanoe Yuko's side, she was still feeling pain and conflicted because of her past memories.

The sudden surge of power caught her completely off guard.

The faint reminder in her mind suggested that the Diary she had acquired had detected her current dangerous situation and thus temporarily unlocked its special power for her.

Moreover, this force seems to have a time limit.

To be honest, the original Kanoe Yuko was still immersed in her painful memories because of Shadow Yuuko's words, and was suffering greatly because of them.

But as this immense power surged forth from her body, Kanoe Yuko had no time to dwell on those memories anymore.

She focused all her attention on controlling the power within her body to prevent herself from losing control and destroying the entire Old Schoolhouse.

Even if there's some exaggeration involved, she still possesses genuine top-tier power, so destroying such an Old Schoolhouse wouldn't be a problem at all.

She tried her best to gather this power with her Spiritual Body and temporarily put aside her memories from her previous life.

She is indeed unable to let go of the past yet, but she is unwilling for this other version of herself to vent her hatred on these innocent people.

However, after meeting Shadow Yuuko once before, she could intuitively feel the difference in strength between the two of them just by watching the other party's actions.

Without power, there is no way to stop the other party's actions when facing oneself.

The only solution Kanoe Yuko could think of now was to adopt the same method as Shadow Yuuko — Shadow Yuuko wanted to completely absorb her existence with herself as the main body, but failed because of the protection of the Diary.

Could she also try to absorb some of Shadow Yuuko's power in a similar way, given that they are one entity, so that she could have the ability to negotiate with Shadow Yuuko?

Therefore, when Shadow Yuuko reminded her of these painful past events again, she tried hard to accept the past self that she couldn't accept and whose heart was full of hatred, and then drew strength from the other person in return.

However, over the years, Kanoe Yuko found that she seemed to have gotten used to the carefree life she used to have, where she didn't have to worry about anything.

Even though it was everything she had experienced before, the discomfort she felt now when recalling it was even stronger than before she died.

Under such circumstances, how could she possibly bear the burden of having endured all of this for over half a century, and even become more powerful by absorbing a large amount of negative emotions Shadow Yuuko?

Not to mention regaining her power from the other party, she was almost assimilated by them first.

Fortunately, with the help of the Diary, she now temporarily possesses power even greater than the version of herself before her.
