Bystander Reader C: "I also heard that the spells in 'Real Ghost Hunting Notes' are a bit strange. Someone wished for money and it all turned into leaves overnight, and they also developed a high fever..."
In the end, the discomfort only disappeared after using the 'Miss Fox's Secret Arts'.
Thinking about it from another angle, doesn't that mean this art is more advanced than the previous spells? My friends and I are all eager to try, just waiting for the full moon night to arrive..."
Bystander Reader B: "That's right, that's right. I also think 'Miss Fox's Secret Arts' is really useful. I haven't had an appetite for days. Last night, for some reason, I recited 'Miss Fox's Secret Arts'. Although it wasn't a full moon, it was still very effective. I had a great appetite right away and ate several steamed buns..."
Bystander Reader A: "Is it really that magical? Then I have to get ready quickly..."
"..."
Just as Yae Miko had predicted, the readers' attention was successfully diverted, and the influence of 'Real Ghost Hunting Notes' was invisibly diluted and diminished.
"Feng Yi, next, we're going to meet an old friend. I've already investigated the author of 'Real Ghost Hunting Notes'. He's an unsuccessful novelist named Zhi Xing...
When I found him, he had no memory of writing this book. That's right, he's the lucky one possessed by Youle Zhai. Alas, I don't know if I should call it lucky or unlucky..."
Yae Miko explained briefly as she led Feng Yi to the next destination.
"After his novel submission failed, he wandered aimlessly in the desolate sea, lamenting loudly, 'Whoever it is, let me write a great novel!' Then he lost consciousness..."
Yae Miko shrugged and sighed, Feng Yi had already guessed the rest.
"Although being possessed by a ghost is a bit unlucky, thinking about it from another angle, he did achieve his wish, didn't he?"
Feng Yi stated that misfortune and fortune are intertwined, and things have two sides.
The two soon arrived at the entrance of a dilapidated torii gate. Mist billowed at the entrance, looking gloomy and chilling.
"Let's go in. Our old friend is already waiting for us inside..."
Yae Miko confirmed the location and was about to lead Feng Yi inside.
"Miko, wait a moment. We might run into some trouble going in, so I've found a helper!"
Feng Yi stopped Yae Miko. He had already notified the helper via telepathy on the way. The helper should arrive soon.
"Feng Yi, the helper you're talking about... it's not that big oaf, is it?"
Yae Miko's eyelids twitched, as if she had already guessed the helper's identity.
"Hahahaha... Boss Feng Yi, I rushed here as soon as I received your message. I'm not late, am I?"
Before Feng Yi could reply, a hearty laugh suddenly came from afar.
Speak of the fool, and Arataki Itto arrives.
His voice arrived before he did.
Arataki Itto, panting, strode over with large steps. He was slightly surprised to see Miss Fox there.
However, in Arataki Itto's opinion, after the previous few commissioned tasks, Boss Feng Yi must have seen his reliability, so he immediately thought of him in times of trouble.
Arataki Itto: Alas, it's a sin to be so handsome and capable like me. How can others live!
After all, with his strength, it's hard to be low-key!
Wahahahaha...
"Since everyone's here, let's go in quickly!"
Feng Yi took the lead into the torii gate entrance, where mist was swirling.
Arataki Itto and Yae Miko followed suit.
"Whoa, what a creepy and terrifying place, like a haunted house. Uh... of course, not a ghost like me, but those floating spirits..."
Arataki Itto looked around and found that the old, dusty wooden beams on both sides of the walkway were emitting dark smoke, making the place look extremely eerie.
Although Boss Feng Yi appeared calm and unfazed, Arataki Itto, for safety's sake, took out his exclusive giant club.
He wasn't sure if his giant club could hit spiritual beings, but holding the club gave Arataki Itto his meager sense of security.
"What a strange painting. Boss Feng Yi, Miss Fox, do you know what's painted on it?"
At the end of the corridor was a spacious living room. On the wall in the center of the living room hung a scroll that covered half of the wall.
Arataki Itto saw that Boss Feng Yi and Miss Fox were both looking at the scroll, as if studying its content. He also tried to study it but couldn't figure anything out, which made him doubt his intelligence.
"Hmm... It looks like a landscape of ancient Inazuma..."
Yae Miko said, with her arms crossed.
"Hahahaha... Great minds think alike. I also see that it's a landscape of ancient Inazuma. Look at this mountain, look at this river, it's exactly like ancient Inazuma..."
How could Arataki Itto admit his lack of intelligence? Arataki Itto, the stubborn donkey, made another appearance.
Arataki Itto used laughter to cover his nervousness, but his explanation was full of holes and easily debunked, but no one cared.
"Cough, cough, although this painting is well done, it looks a bit eerie and scary. But as a ghost, I, of course, wouldn't be scared..."
Arataki Itto coughed to ease his embarrassment, then leaned closer to the scroll to examine it carefully.
"Itto, behind you..."
Feng Yi suddenly called out to Arataki Itto, who was about to comb his hair with a comb, and pointed behind him.
Feng Yi's serious demeanor startled Arataki Itto. He felt his whole body stiffen, his neck felt rusted, and he wanted to turn his head to look but found he couldn't control it.
The Arataki Itto who had just spoken boldly felt his face burning with embarrassment. The slap in the face came too suddenly; he was caught off guard.
"Boss Feng Yi, there's... nothing behind me!"
Arataki Itto turned his head with difficulty, as if he had exerted all his strength, only to find nothing behind him. Could it be invisible monsters and ghosts that he couldn't see?
"Who said that? In the room behind you... there's a very large mirror!"
