I'm really unnerved in Tokyo
Chapter 457 Araki's Despair
Chapter 457 Araki's Despair
"It's over, it's over, it's all because of the Mediterranean, which caused me to buy so many expensive 'study materials' yesterday, and I messed up the assessment, and I can't count on subsidies..."
"Why don't you have the cheek to go to the adult's world and ask, I don't know if the materials that have been disassembled and studied can be returned. 』
"Anyway, the subsidy from the Spirit Eliminator's Association must not be counted on. I might as well rent out this room. Anyway, I don't need so many rooms!"
Taking out his mobile phone, Sousuke Araki quickly logged into the intermediary area of the "Caution! Haunted House Appraisal" website, only to find that the original rental information of this house had been listed on it at a very low price.
"I almost forgot, this house has already spread a bad reputation, how could it be possible to rent it out! Yes, yes, you can ask Longma to borrow it first, we are brothers who are in charge, he will definitely..."
With an idea, Araki Sousuke dialed the number of a bad friend with a determined expression.
At this moment, he missed the carefree days of eating and drinking at the Kawasaki Daishi Temple during the "retreat and practice".
"Oh, Ryoma, are you still sleeping? Didn't you say that my house is good that day, and it's been 'cleaned' now, and it was agreed to move here and open the swimming pool..."
On the other end of the phone, hearing Ryoma's voice two days ago, it seemed that he hadn't woken up yet.
"You said I haven't repaired the swimming pool yet? Go dig it right away..."
"What, Lesson [-] arranged for you a free senior agent suite in Shibuya, and it's very close to the red light district?!"
Squeezing the phone tremblingly, Sousuke Araki's expression suddenly became serious.
"Ahem, those don't matter. In fact, I have something serious to discuss with you. In order to investigate that case, I decided to take another Exorcism Exemption Examination next month and join the Exorcist Association to find out information."
"You know that I am a human being, and I am definitely not forced by life, greedy for some kind of subsidy, etc."
"And then, there is a temporary special situation here... You know my strength, and now I am familiar with the assessment process. Once I receive the subsidy, I will return it to you..."
"Wait, you said you didn't get paid until the end of the month, and last month, in order to investigate the case, you invited your colleagues to take a Thai bath supreme package, and borrowed a loan shark. How many times have you been urged?! Don't hang up, I want it myself How can I find a way..."
"Beep beep beep..."
The sudden busy tone completely extinguished the flame of hope in someone's heart.
"Asshole, why don't you just raid the dormitory of Class Nine, kidnap that guy, and pay the tax for me..."
Looking at the phone that hung up in his hand, the veins on Araki Sousuke's forehead burst, and the emotion called despair began to spread in his heart.
Scenes that are about to happen in the future are flying in front of his eyes like snowflakes...

"Toot, toot, toot..."
"The police are investigating the scene and will hold a media conference as soon as they have the results. Please do not enter the yellow line."
A number of police cars with sirens flashing were parked next to an old one-household building, and a cordon was set up around the door.
"BREAKING NEWS, hello viewers, this is the late-night news channel of HNK, and we are currently on the scene of the urban legend 'The Grudge'..."
The giant cameras with the logos of major TV stations were shooting directly at the house in front of them.
Several women who looked like reporters were holding microphones and explaining the situation to the camera.
"A new resident hanged himself in the house less than a month after moving in. The corpse was not found until the workers at the nearby construction site complained about the smell... At present, the police found a large number of pornographic magazines, DVDs and various males in the house of the resident. Supplies..."
"According to people familiar with the matter, the resident was unable to get a job because he failed to pass the examination of a certain industry association and was unable to enter the job. He was also called to collect capital fees, water and electricity fees, which caused the capital chain to break, and he could not even buy expired food. The kidney operation also ended in failure of matching, and finally chose to hang himself.”
"Suicide and lonely death due to economic problems during the empty window period have become a common phenomenon. This extreme special case has attracted widespread attention from all walks of life. Next, let's interview the deceased's former friends..."
"That guy Zongjie grew up with me. I have advised him not to stay in the house all day obsessed with those things, study hard, and take the civil servant exam like me..."
"That's right, I called me to borrow money before, but I couldn't protect myself at the time. If I lent him, I might be hung on a tree by usury now..."
"kindness?Couldn't the sentence just now be played? Sorry, I'll repeat it again. 』
An "informed person" with thick black bars on his eyes broke the news while digging his nostrils.
**
"Do not!!!!"
In the mildly hot early autumn, the temperature dropped sharply.
The snow is fluttering, the north wind is blowing...
With an abrupt punch that cracked the wall of his own courtyard, Araki Sousuke severely shattered the inexplicable scene in his mind.
"Calm down, Araki Sousuke (male, 23 years old), we haven't reached that point yet... There is no unparalleled road, no, we can no longer count on that corrupt Spirit Eliminator Association, I have to cheer up and save myself!"
……
Akihabara, M'S Department Store, Soul Eliminator Association.
"After comparative analysis of appearance and characteristics, the known characteristics of Maruhashi Tadaya's Wraith variant are tenacious vitality, inability to communicate verbally, ability to erode target consciousness through sight, continuous self-split, evolution form according to the environment, etc... As for the reasons for the mutation, we will temporarily Unable to analyze."
"According to one of the believers of the Galactic Federation Church, they received the notification through encrypted emails on the network, gathered near the Suzumori Execution Ground, and launched an indiscriminate attack on the relevant personnel of the Spirit Eliminator Association. They didn't know anything else...Because Encrypted email data will be automatically deleted, and the police's anti-tracking efforts have been fruitless for the time being."
"...The above is the report on the investigation so far of the 'Suzumori Execution Ground Incident' last night."
Behind the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, in the large conference room, Hou Hailudou is playing the information shared by the Metropolitan Police Department on the projection screen.
It was supposed to be a meeting to discuss the results of the Exorcism Exemption Examination, but because of a series of events that happened at the Suzumori Execution Ground site last night, a provisional agenda was inserted.
"At present, it is still impossible to determine whether there is a connection between the Galactic Federation Cult and the mutation of Marubashi Chuyaren... However, these two issues alone are enough for us to worry..."
Sitting in the middle of the conference table, Tokimoto Ichiro stroked the beard on his chin, turned his head and asked the person beside him, "What do you think, Hiroshi?"
"Ahem, President, judging from the fact that these cults were able to know the location of the 'practice test' in advance, it is only possible that we or someone inside the Metropolitan Police Department leaked the information."
Hiroshi Tokita, who was sitting next to Ichiro Tokimoto, cleared his throat with a serious face.
"Although arresting cults is not part of our business scope, since they have been targeted, I suggest that for the recent exorcism mission, the exorcists should form a group of at least two people and carry out the exorcism together."
However, with the "Fujiwara Takumi same style retainer" on his neck and his swollen face that is light and purple, this speech will only look extraordinarily funny.
