Using the power within her body, she barely managed to control the situation, then reminded Hiiragi Inori to quickly take the two people away from here.

Hiiragi Inori was still thinking about how to get the two unconscious people away from here.

Fortunately, due to the impact, Itou Kaiji, who had not suffered too much damage, slowly regained consciousness at this time.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Hiiragi Inori put her arm around Kanoe Kirie and quickly say to him, "If you're alright, let's get out of here quickly."

Itou Kaiji was about to nod in agreement, but when he saw Kanoe Yuko standing at the basement door, he immediately became a little timid again, having just Shadow Yuuko.

Although the Evil Spirits does look much more pleasing to the eye now than before, he can still tell from its physical characteristics that the two should be the same person.

He quickly looked at Hiiragi Inori with a questioning gaze, wanting to find out what was going on.

Could it be that when they were unconscious and trapped in the illusion created by the female ghost, Hiiragi Inori made some kind of deal with the female ghost?

Hiiragi Inori Itou Kaiji's trembling appearance, Itou Kaiji could only quickly explain the current situation to reassure him that he didn't need to worry about the other party's identity.

In other words, there are two female ghosts, one good and one bad?

The good is now better than the bad, scaring the bad away.

However, the bad guy blew up the Ley Line here before he ran away, so this place could collapse at any time, so we need to hurry up and leave.

After hearing the current situation, Itou Kaiji glanced at Kanoe Yuko again. Seeing that she nodded at him, he immediately rummaged through the things he had brought with him and confirmed that although his phone had not yet regained signal, all other functions seemed to have been restored.

It seems that the female ghost really did leave this place.

So he decided to leave this awful place as soon as possible.

But after he stepped onto the stairs, he hesitated for a moment, then looked back at the crumbling shrine and the corpse that had remained there for sixty years.

Then, he turned around and asked Hiiragi Inori on the steps, "Could you give me another half a minute? I want to take a picture of what this place looks like."

After all, this place will probably collapse completely after they leave.

They had already filmed and documented the rest of the Old Schoolhouse in the afternoon and evening, but this basement was the only place they had to film. If they missed it, they probably wouldn't have another chance.

He took out the new camera that Miyauchi Hiyage had given him before he entered the Old Schoolhouse and tried to film the scenes in the basement.

But after looking at the camera for a few moments, he felt it wasn't quite right for him, so he took out his recently purchased mobile phone.

Although the video shot by a mobile phone is obviously inferior to that of a camcorder in terms of pixels and shooting effect, he still finds the shooting method of the mobile phone more convenient than the camcorder he has hardly ever used.

On the steps, Hiiragi Inori was so angry at Itou Kaiji's nonsensical remark that she almost laughed.

Even at this point, this guy still remembers about filming.

The other person was quite scared when they first found out about all this, so how come they've become so passionate about their work now?

Just as she was about to call Itou Kaiji back, Kanoe Yuko, who was standing at the basement door, nodded to Itou Kaiji and said, "My strength can probably last for another two or three minutes. If you really want to film this place, you'd better hurry up."

During her conversation with Miyauchi Hiyage on the back mountain, Kanoe Yuko was very grateful to Miyauchi Hiyage for awakening her memories. Although she had not seen the videos Miyauchi Hiyage had filmed, she could feel Miyauchi Hiyage's serious attitude.

If the other party wants to film their story, then let them reveal the whole truth as completely as possible.

Including "oneself" who is trapped in the basement and can never break free.

With Kanoe Yuko's permission, Itou Kaiji continued filming with his phone.

Even Itou Kaiji himself didn't know what he was thinking.

He had just faced a life-threatening crisis and was even controlled by that hideous female ghost, experiencing firsthand the despair and pain she felt before her death in a hallucination.

After waking up, for the sake of his own life, he should indeed leave this place as soon as possible.

But as he recalled everything he had experienced in the illusion, he felt an urge to record it all and let everyone know this story.

I tried to record everything in the basement from the perspective of "Kanoe Yuko" before her death, based on my memory.

Broken corpses, an old shrine.

Leaning against the wall, the basement steps and door, though only a few meters away, remained impassable.

Seeing Itou Kaiji's actions, Hiiragi Inori Itou Kaiji seemed to have noticed something about him as well.

This guy doesn't seem as ordinary as he appeared before.

Or perhaps the experience just now inspired some "special" talent in the other person?

Hiiragi Inori could only be certain that Itou Kaiji's talents were not in Shinto or sorcery; she couldn't discern anything else.

Because he had the memory of the illusion he had just experienced as a reference, Itou Kaiji was very fast. In just over two minutes, he had filmed everything that needed to be filmed.

Although the effect wasn't very good, this was the limit of his ability.

Urged on again by Hiiragi Inori Itou Kaiji jogged up the steps and ran towards the basement exit.

Without Shadow Yuuko's interference, leaving the Old Schoolhouse was uneventful. They easily left the previously sealed-off chairman's office and then ran away from the long-abandoned Old Schoolhouse.

Almost immediately after they left the Old Schoolhouse, less than half a minute later, as Kanoe Yuko withdrew her power, the Old Schoolhouse began to shake again, as if it were about to collapse.

Hiiragi Inori wiped her forehead.

Who could have imagined that a seemingly ordinary operation would escalate to such a huge scale?

With such a major problem arising from the Ley Line here, it's estimated that things won't calm down for at least a year or two.

After she gets back, she'll probably have to write several reports just about this matter.

Just as she was waiting in the distance for the Old Schoolhouse to collapse, a particularly lazy-sounding male voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

"You've really caused quite a commotion. Looks like I'm a little late again. Are you all alright?"

Completely unaware of how the voice came to be behind her, Hiiragi Inori instinctively took out the talisman from her bosom. But when she saw the person's appearance, she was stunned for several seconds before realizing who it was.

"Gojo... Satoru?"

Among the new generation of extraordinary individuals in the Reverse Side World, Satoru Gojo is quite famous, after all, his achievements and strength speak for themselves.

Since the Mystery Revival, the main reason why the Jujutsu Society has been able to stand out among the major forces in the Reverse Side World is the existence of Satoru Gojo.

In some places, rumors even circulate that the world's Mystery Revival was due to the birth of Satoru Gojo, the strongest Sorcerers.

Of course, similar rumors have also appeared in other places, involving the names of other rising powerhouses.

In short, how could this great deity appear here at this time?

But Hiiragi Inori soon thought of Miyauchi Hiyage.

Why does the Jujutsu Society value Miyauchi Hiyage so much?

They actually called Satoru Gojo over to put out the fire just because the other party might be in danger?

So, does that guy Miyauchi Hiyage also have the potential to be a Special Grade?

Thinking of this, Hiiragi Inori saw Satoru Gojo already walking towards the Old Schoolhouse where the Spiritual Power was becoming increasingly violent.

Hiiragi Inori had initially warned the other party to be careful, but she quickly realized that this was Satoru Gojo, who had dealt with dozens, if not hundreds, of top-tier cursed spirits, so there was no need to worry about her at all.

She simply reminded the other person from afar that the ghost staying in the Old Schoolhouse was a good one, and that they shouldn't accidentally hurt the other person.

Satoru Gojo must have heard them, because he waved with his back to them and then disappeared from their sight.

Looking at the eyepatch-wearing man in front of them, whose style seemed completely different from theirs, Itou Kaiji was still thinking of asking Hiiragi Inori who this guy was.

In just a few seconds, Satoru Gojo was already holding one person in each hand, while his other hand was outstretched, controlling another person out of thin air.

Upon approaching, Itou Kaiji recognized that the person in the other's hand was holding the unconscious Kanoe Shizuuko, while the other hand was controlling Kanoe Yuko, who was still struggling in the air.

Kanoe Yuko still has a trace of her Special Grade power left.

However, even a complete Special Grade Vengeful Spirit wouldn't pose much of a challenge for Satoru Gojo, let alone Kanoe Yuko, who temporarily gained power through a loan.

After Satoru Gojo put down the human and the demon, Kanoe Yuko also realized that the gap between her and this eyepatch-wearing man was more than ten times greater than the gap between her and Shadow Yuuko.

If the opponent doesn't eliminate you when facing a powerful opponent of this level, it already shows that the opponent has no intention of killing you.

Therefore, the first thing she did after regaining her freedom was to check on Kanoe Shizuuko's condition.

Although it had been a full sixty years, she had not actually met her sister.

But that blood connection made her realize that Kanoe Kirie was Kanoe Shizuuko's granddaughter, and also made her recognize that the elderly woman was her sister.

At this point, Kanoe Shizuuko's situation did not appear to be ideal.

Satoru Gojo also provided an explanation from the side.

"She was probably trapped inside that mirror in the office as soon as she entered the school building, and until just now, she has been tormented in some kind of illusion created by that Vengeful Spirit."

He said this, then looked at Hiiragi Inori: "You're the local shrine maiden, right? I'll leave the matter of contacting the hospital to you. I'm not sure if the elderly person can handle the mental strain after experiencing all this."

Then he glanced at the group again and confirmed that Itou Kaiji was not the person he was looking for.

"Oh right, the principal said that the other person awakened the ability to teleport and left the school using that power. They should be outside the school now..."

He muttered this to himself, then asked Hiiragi Inori and her group, "Are you able to contact that Miyauchi classmate?"

At this moment, Itou Kaiji remembered that he should report the situation to his boss, and that he should also discuss the overtime pay for this overtime work.

He nodded quickly, took out his phone, and dialed Miyauchi Hiyage's number.

Soon, Miyauchi Hiyage's somewhat tired voice came from the other end of the phone.

"What? That female ghost just found you... Boss, are you alright?!" Itou Kaiji asked Miyauchi Hiyage in a panic.

Miyauchi Hiyage's current tone, could he have suffered some serious injury?

"I'm fine for now, just a little exhausted. I managed to shake off that female ghost. I'm currently where we parked. Be careful over there too. I just called for a helper. Once that helper arrives, we shouldn't have to worry about our safety."

Itou Kaiji glanced at Satoru Gojo and quickly told him that the helper had arrived.

Then he quickly told Satoru Gojo about the current location of the Miyauchi Hiyage.

Satoru Gojo understood the situation just by hearing what the other person said.

So, the other party just encountered that Vengeful Spirit that escaped from the school again outside, but Miyauchi Hiyage probably escaped again using his teleportation ability.

The reason for the exhaustion is probably that the opponent had just awakened their ability and then used their power continuously.

In this situation, a good day's rest should be enough for recovery.

Satoru Gojo left a message saying, "I'll go check it out," and then disappeared again, heading towards the current location of Miyauchi Hiyage.

Chapter 190: The Diary That No Longer Responds

Satoru Gojo quickly spotted Miyauchi Hiyage, who was leaning against the car with a tired expression on his face, and the girl in his arms who looked like she had already fainted.

After comparing the photo given to him by Masamichi Yaga, and confirming that the handsome young man was indeed the Miyauchi Hiyage he was looking for, Satoru Gojo walked up to him.

"Can you still stand up? Do you need my help?" Satoru Gojo glanced at the girl's condition and confirmed that she had only been temporarily unconscious due to some mental shock and was not in any danger to her life. He then asked Miyauchi Hiyage.

Miyauchi Hiyage naturally saw Satoru Gojo appear in front of him from afar.

He carefully examined the other person.

She looked exactly as he remembered her.

White hair, black clothes, and an eye patch.

He shook his head at the other person. "I'm just a little sleepy because I'm not very familiar with my abilities yet, but it's not a big problem."

Then he pointed to the alleyway about 500 meters away.

"The ghost of Yuko just found us there and attacked us. I barely managed to teleport here with Monomi, but I don't know if she's still there now."

Seeing that Miyauchi Hiyage could still maintain a calm mental state, Satoru Gojo carefully examined Miyauchi Hiyage at this moment.

Perhaps because the other party has just completed their awakening, their spirit and body seem to be undergoing a period of transformation.

Originally, Miyauchi Hiyage's physical aptitude was only barely at level one according to the data, but now, under the influence of an unknown force, his body is undergoing rapid transformation.

Even disregarding the opponent's spatial teleportation ability, it seems that the opponent could potentially reach the Special Grade level with just their physical body.

"This era always seems to produce all sorts of geniuses," Satoru Gojo muttered to himself. He then told Miyauchi Hiyage to stay there while he went to the alley the other had mentioned to search for the Vengeful Spirit.

The alley was indeed a mess, leaving behind a fairly obvious fluctuation of resentment and a special power that was almost imperceptible, which should be the power that Miyauchi Hiyage used when he teleported.

Satoru Gojo carefully sensed the situation on the spot, but could only detect a faint trace of resentment escaping in another direction.

Moreover, this resentful force dissipated after escaping for a kilometer or two, indicating that the other party had sensed some threat and thus hid itself.

Even for Satoru Gojo, tracking down Vengeful Spirit that is determined to hide and escape is quite troublesome and takes a long time.
