Fujinomiya Konomi's Guess

As for Kanoe Shizuuko, she has not yet regained consciousness; her mind seems to remain in a coma.

However, according to Miyauchi Hiyage's observation after gaining X-ray vision, the other party's life was not in great danger, but because he had clearly experienced that past event again in the illusion.

Moreover, the identities were swapped, allowing her to personally experience the negative emotions her sister felt before her death. This overly realistic sense of immersion made Kanoe Shizuuko, who had experienced the illusion, subconsciously unwilling to return to the cruel reality.

He'll most likely end up in a vegetative state in the future.

Fortunately, the other party had already left a complete will before this, and in the past few days, he also left the land of the Seikyou Academy to his granddaughter Kanoe Kirie.

Given that most of the Kanoe Family are aware of Kanoe Yuko's spirit, it's unlikely that anyone would object to the arrangements in this will.

Similarly, during her meeting with Kanoe Kirie, Miyauchi Hiyage also asked her about the content of the video.

In contrast, while Kanoe Kirie also wanted to protect her grandmother's reputation, her thoughts changed after she herself experienced the truth of what happened back then in the illusion and was saved by the kind-hearted Kanoe Yuko Kanoe Kirie.

"My grandmother told me the truth about what happened back then yesterday, and she was already prepared to atone for her sins with her own life so that Kanoe Yuko's grandmother could forgive her."

"Although that evil Grandma Kanoe Yuko has escaped, there is still the kind Grandma Kanoe Yuko who saved us at the school. Although I know that even that kind Grandma Kanoe Yuko probably hasn't let go of what happened back then, I think if the whole truth of what happened back then could be revealed, I wonder if that could make Grandma Kanoe Yuko feel a little more at ease?"

Kanoe Kirie responded to Miyauchi Hiyage by saying that although the truth would affect the Kanoe Family's reputation in the area.

But as her grandmother's descendants, they should always remember and confront the mistakes made by their ancestors.

"I have received your thoughts, but I also asked Ms. Kanoe Yuko about these things this morning, and she has not yet responded."

"I should upload my video at the end of the Golden Week holiday. Before I go back to Tokyo to study, I will come here again to ask Ms. Yuko for her opinion."

Kanoe Kirie nodded with a complicated expression, indicating that he would take the initiative to communicate with that grandmother, Xizi.

After visiting the hospital, Miyauchi Hiyage drove back to Asahigaoka in the afternoon.

Although he didn't come back last night, the Miyauchi Family has known about Miyauchi Hiyage's independence since he was a child. After he started filming videos, he would occasionally stay overnight at the film set.

The situation at the Seikyou Academy was already covered up by professionals sent by Shinto last night.

People living nearby only know that Seikyou Academy is planning to demolish the dilapidated Old Schoolhouse during the Golden Week holiday.

This news naturally won't reach Asahigaoka anytime soon.

However, once Miyauchi Hiyage's video is released, people will likely connect this incident with Miyauchi Hiyage's video.

In short, after Miyauchi Hiyage returned, his parents simply asked if the video shooting went smoothly, and didn't ask any other questions.

After eating something to fill his stomach, Miyauchi Hiyage told Itou Kaiji to continue resting, and then went to the Fujinomiya residence first.

Itou Kaiji's emotions are relatively stable. Although he encountered danger, he was relieved to see that Miyauchi Hiyage was able to easily get help from a big shot like Satoru Gojo. Moreover, these big shots seemed to be paying attention to the videos they filmed and recognized his appearance.

Itou Kaiji, who has always wanted to make a name for himself, is a person with a strong gambling instinct.

It's quite easy to do psychological work on him. Tonight, I'll get him to have a drink and chat, then paint a rosy picture for him, like adding some bonuses or something. He definitely won't want to go back to the life he had when he was working at a convenience store, barely making ends meet each month.

Let's talk to Fujimiya Miki first. As someone he personally trained, there are some things that Miyauchi Hiyage feels he should let her know.

There were no problems going to Fujinomiya's house, and she didn't even need to inform her parents before going to Fujinomiya's room.

After a brief nod and a few words, Miyauchi Hiyage had already reached the door of Fujimiya Miki's room.

Back home, Fujimiya Miki had changed into a more comfortable set of pajamas and was wearing a pair of large, round-framed glasses.

Unlike her peers, whose rooms are filled with textbooks or other hobbies, her room is instead filled with data charts from Asahigaoka Media and various online survey data.

As the COO of Asahigaoka Media, Fujimiya Miki sacrificed a lot for the Asahigaoka Media.

Miyauchi Hiyage remembered that the other person had originally joined the school's music club, but because of Miyauchi Hiyage's appearance, the other person was busy looking at data spreadsheets all day long and really didn't have the time or energy to participate in other club activities.

Fujimiya Miki saw Miyauchi Hiyage arrive, he naturally opened the door and sat down on the edge of his bed, waiting for Miyauchi Hiyage's explanation.

She had so many questions she wanted to ask that day, but she kept them to herself, waiting for Miyauchi Hiyage to come and confess to her.

Seeing Fujimiya Miki's "please begin your performance" look, Miyauchi Hiyage took out the Diary containing Shadow Yuuko's seal and placed it on the table.

Of course, without permission to access the Diary, Fujimiya Miki would not be able to see it.

But unlike the passive and forced blocking of those girls.

As the nominal owner and administrator of the Diary, Miyauchi Hiyage could not directly revoke Shadow Yuuko's Diary holder rights, but he could remove the verbal censorship and leave an impression on Fujimiya Miki.

"You mean, there's actually a Diary here, and it's this Diary sealed away that evil Kanoe Yuko?"

Looking at the empty desktop, Fujimiya Miki tried to feel around in the places that Miyauchi Hiyage had just touched.

Naturally, she couldn't find anything, because her hand went straight through the Diary and touched the table.

"You can't see it directly, but I can release Shadow Yuuko first and have her say hello to you."

As she said this, Miyauchi Hiyage had a thought and released a sliver of the seal, saying to the Diary in front of her, "Come on, Shadow Yuuko, give everyone a show."

Chapter 194: Fujimiya Miki's Speculation

With the seal broken once again, Shadow Yuuko was finally able to see the outside world again.

She had barely emerged from the Diary when she began to wreak havoc on everything in her sight with her ferocious appearance.

But before she could even put this idea into action, Miyauchi Hiyage had already given instructions to Shadow Yuuko directly through Yuuko's Diary.

"Sit down."

With just one sentence, Shadow Yuuko obediently knelt on the ground.

This is how people who owe a debt to their Diary and also show rebellious tendencies are treated.

Because of her administrator privileges over the Diary, Miyauchi Hiyage was essentially able to order Shadow Yuuko around at will.

Of course, these instructions will consume some of the debt, but they will be enough for a long time under normal use.

Moreover, even if it's completely depleted, Miyauchi Hiyage can remotely lend another sum to Kanoe Yuko's body.

Anyway Shadow Yuuko has no idea how much she owes.

Miyauchi Hiyage glanced at Shadow Yuuko, who perfectly embodied the image of the female ghost in those horror movies.

"And you need to change your outfit properly too. Look at your real self, it looks quite nice, why do you always have this deadpan face?"

He knew, of course, that she was a collection of negative emotions, and that in order to frighten everyone who saw her, she couldn't possibly be very beautiful.

His eyes were lifeless, his mouth was agape, his clothes were stained with blood, and you could even smell the blood on him quite clearly if you got close.

Even if Fujimiya Miki the lights on, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

However, given the opponent's strength, it wouldn't be too difficult for Vengeful Spirit of this level to change its appearance, and Miyauchi Hiyage's only request was for her to transform into her original form.

The next moment, a black aura rippled around Shadow Yuuko, and about ten seconds later, a dark female ghost with the exact same appearance as Kanoe Yuko, but staring intently at Miyauchi Hiyage with dead fish eyes, appeared in front of Miyauchi Hiyage and Fujimiya Miki.

If the original Shadow Yuuko was the kind of person who would have to restrain herself even if she acted in a horror movie, so as not to scare people too much, then the current Shadow Yuuko is the kind of "depressed girl" you would occasionally see at school, with long hair, always keeping her head down in the classroom, and having no friends.

Seeing that the originally fierce and ugly female ghost had suddenly become much more normal at the request of Miyauchi Hiyage, Fujimiya Miki also looked somewhat surprised.

Although she already knew that Miyauchi Hiyage had undergone many changes in the past month or so, and was sure that he was still hiding a lot from her.

But she never expected that this boy who had grown up with her since childhood would have such great abilities so quietly and so easily turned a female ghost who looked extremely fierce last night into the obedient one she is now.

"It's not that I'm particularly powerful, it's just that this thing happens to counter her. My current true strength is still far from that of Satoru Gojo, probably only slightly stronger than that Hiiragi Inori," Miyauchi Hiyage and Fujimiya Miki made a "slightly" gesture.

Without the help of the Ley Line, Hiiragi Inori is indeed quite different from him in terms of strength. Whether it is close combat or ranged battle, he has a winning rate of over 99% when facing Hiiragi Inori.

With the support of various power systems, his current strength is definitely above the first level. However, there are not many special-level sorcerers in the Jujutsu Society, and the spells used by those special-level Sorcerers are indeed quite unconventional.

Miyauchi Hiyage, who currently doesn't have a specific area of expertise, certainly hasn't reached that level yet.

He explained why Shadow Yuuko was currently restricted by the Diary, and stated that only after completing the tasks required by this Diary that she could not see could Shadow Yuuko regain her true self.

Of course, Miyauchi Hiyage didn't mention how many requirements there were or how much time it would take.

"Because Kanoe Yuko temporarily transferred ownership of this Diary to me, I can currently command this female ghost to a certain extent."

Listening to Miyauchi Hiyage's explanation, Fujimiya Miki sighed and continued to reach out to touch Ni's Diary, which she could not access at all.

Miyauchi Hiyage seemed to be hiding something, but these words were not only for her, but also for Shadow Yuuko, who was sitting on the ground.

So, is Miyauchi Hiyage planning to subdue this female ghost?

Fujimiya Miki pondered this, but still cooperated with Miyauchi Hiyage's explanation, first showing some concern, and then asking whether the control over that Diary was reliable.

"I'm not sure either, but it should be fine for a few months. As long as I can become a Special Grade before she breaks the seal, I won't need to worry about her."

"If all else fails, then take her to Tokyo to find those big shots. Anyway, I get along quite well with that special-grade one, and I believe they would be happy to accept such a unique cursed object."

Having given Shadow Yuuko some hope, but also some pressure, Shadow Yuuko Miyauchi Hiyage slightly relaxed his pressure on Shadow Yuuko.

The seal will be amplified whenever the other party makes any unusual move.

Let's smooth out some of the aggressiveness in this guy first.

However, after most of her power was drained by the Diary, the negative emotions on Shadow Yuuko's body were not as strong as before.

If her previous hatred and disgust towards Kanoe Shizuuko and all the people and places related to the events of that year were irreconcilable, then those negative emotions extended that hatred to all "human beings".

Now that she has lost most of her power, her hatred for humanity has weakened somewhat.

Of course, since Miyauchi Hiyage was the culprit behind all of this, her hatred for Miyauchi Hiyage was just as intense as her hatred for Kanoe Shizuuko.

However, now that her negative emotions have been weakened, Ying Shadow Yuuko has become somewhat more clear-headed.

Now, faced with that extremely binding seal, she knew very well that she had no way to take revenge on the two people in this room.

Even if she continues to curse Miyauchi Hiyage here, it will only make the seal on her body more suppressed, and might even hand her over to a top-level Sorcerers to exorcise her.

So, in the blink of an eye, Shadow Yuuko had already controlled her restless heart.

Miyauchi Hiyage just told Fujimiya Miki that the seal on her side is not permanent, but rather a protective mechanism of that mysterious Diary, and its effect will definitely weaken over time.

In other words, as long as she cooperates a little and doesn't reveal any special thoughts in front of Miyauchi Hiyage, she still has a chance to secretly break free from the seal and regain her freedom.

Therefore, even though she sensed that the seal on her body seemed to have weakened, Shadow Yuuko did not immediately try to test it, but instead chose to continue to pretend.

Of course, Shadow Yuuko still had to pretend to be controlled.

At least Shadow Yuuko thinks her acting skills are pretty good.

However, under the orders of the Miyauchi Hiyage, she has now changed her appearance back to that of her former self, and is no longer in a situation where no one can detect her expression no matter what she makes.

Miyauchi Hiyage is the director and cinematographer, while Fujimiya Miki is the operations manager and assistant. Putting aside other aspects, they are both quite experienced in acting and judging acting skills.

They only needed to glance at each other to understand the meaning in each other's eyes, and they both knew that Shadow Yuuko's current behavior was definitely a pretense.

Next, Miyauchi Hiyage looked at Shadow Yuuko and spoke to her in a consultative tone.

"Actually, I'm a pretty easy person to talk to. Look at me, I clearly have power, but I didn't attack you last night. If you hadn't made it through on your own, you wouldn't have been sealed in this Diary."

"I have no thoughts on the conflict between you and your original self. When we were in the hospital, I slightly loosened the seal. You should have heard the doctor's explanation. At best Kanoe Shizuuko, who killed you, will become a vegetable. Your revenge was quite successful."

"As long as you don't keep trying to drag innocent people into this, I can indeed let you regain your freedom after you finish the task of Diary and pay off your debts."

To prove his point, Miyauchi Hiyage emitted a faint glow from the tip of his finger.

This is not ordinary Ripple Chi Kung, but a compressed Ripple Sphere. It can be said that the amount of Ripple in one Qi Sphere is equivalent to the total amount of Ripple Chi Kung that an ordinary person could cultivate for a lifetime.

It's fair to say that this thing is about as difficult to use as the Six Meridians Divine Sword; only someone like Miyauchi Hiyage, who's practically cheating, can use it relatively easily.

Fujimiya Miki she saw the small ball of light at the fingertip of Miyauchi Hiyage, but Shadow Yuuko's perception was much more obvious.

Although Vengeful Spirit of her level is no longer so afraid of the sun, she still doesn't usually appear outdoors in the midday sun.

The small point of light in Miyauchi Hiyage's hand was, in her perception, almost entirely another indoor sun.

Let alone being hit by such a ki blast, even if she were just a little close, Vengeful Spirit like Shadow Yuuko would feel threatened.

Therefore, the Miyauchi Hiyage does indeed possess power.

No wonder he didn't feel any fear when he was facing himself last night.

It turns out that the other party was confident from the beginning that they could escape unscathed from his grasp.

Shadow Yuuko didn't speak, but just kept staring at Miyauchi Hiyage with her dead fish eyes, as if to say that no matter what Miyauchi Hiyage said, she would not give in.

"That's all I have to say. Go back and think it over carefully. After all, being locked in Kuro all the time isn't a good feeling," Miyauchi Hiyage said, then closed the seal again, letting Shadow Yuuko continue to think in her Diary.

After doing all this, Miyauchi Hiyage shrugged at Fujimiya Miki: "Leave her alone for a few more days. She should behave herself after I return to Tokyo."

Meanwhile, Fujimiya Miki sat on his bed, carefully observing Miyauchi Hiyage, confirming that Miyauchi Hiyage was no longer acting.

"Thinking back on what happened yesterday, it still feels like a dream," Fujimiya Miki, dropping all pretense and revealing an expression more like a girl her age after realizing it was their private chat time.

"When I first encountered these things, I was much more surprised and frightened than you were. It took me a long time to adapt to my current life."

Fujimiya Miki's eyebrows twitched slightly.
