Yang Tao watched Kayako's retreating figure as she threw out the trash, his heart filled with disbelief.
'A… living Kayako.'
Whether in movies or fan adaptations, this was the first time he had ever encountered a living Kayako.
As for whether it was just a namesake, Yang Tao looked at the new mod he had acquired and his exploration progress, concluding it was practically impossible.
Only when Kayako turned and went back inside did Yang Tao snap out of his daze, his heart filled with emotion.
'I can't believe I met a living Kayako... But if it were truly a complete Kayako, everyone, human and ghost, in this area probably wouldn't escape...'
Sadako's true form was on an island, a sparsely populated area, and she needed a curse to kill. But Kayako was different; she was in a bustling city, and as long as anyone stepped into her territory, she would attack indiscriminately.
Given the number of malevolent spirits in this city, Kayako's power would likely grow exponentially.
At this moment, Miko's father saw Yang Tao staring intently at Kayako's house and said somewhat angrily, "Hey, young man."
"You can't mess around, okay? My daughter is very cute, and I don't want to see her sad. Although Ms. Kayako Saeki is still quite charming..."
Yang Tao: "..."
Miko: "..."
It's better if a father like this disappears.
"Is it really okay for you to say that in front of your daughter? Besides, your daughter and I only met today."
"Huh? You only met today, and she brought you home?"
Miko's father leaned against the wall with one hand and clutched his chest with the other, looking utterly heartbroken.
Seeing this, Yang Tao felt even more strongly that the plot he was involved in was a horror-comedy, and an anime at that. How could such a father exist in reality?
"Sister..."
A small boy came out of Miko's house, ran to Miko's side, reached out, and held her hand, saying, "Sister, why aren't you home yet?"
"Who is he?"
Yang Tao felt a naked hostility emanating from the little boy.
"Kyosuke, he's your sister's friend."
Clearly, this little boy, roughly the same size as Conan, was Miko's younger brother. But what was with that wary look?
"Sister, you... you're crying? Did he bully you?"
Yang Tao watched with his own eyes as the little boy's health bar above his head changed from a white frame to a red frame.
"..."
Oh no, he's a sis-con!
Is this one of those legendary anime series?
Supernatural, comedy, siblings, maybe adding some hot-blooded action later, and if there are even some fan-service scenes, this anime would definitely be a hit. Why hadn't he seen it before?
"Kyosuke, don't talk nonsense. Sister just got something in her eye from the wind and sand."
The red frame turned white again.
Yang Tao felt this little boy was quite interesting.
"Miko, you should go home first. I should leave too."
Miko looked at Yang Tao with some reluctance, her mind racing with thoughts. Finally, she nodded gently and said, "Then... Mr. Yang, please take care on your way."
With that, Miko led Kyosuke towards their home.
For a moment, only Yang Tao and the two ghosts that others couldn't see remained at the doorway.
"Mr. Yotsuya, living at home like this has a big impact on Miss Miko. Of course, I'm not talking about you, but this guy..."
Yang Tao couldn't be accused of judging a ghost by its appearance.
The main reason was that this so-called 'ghost messenger' didn't look like a benevolent spirit.
"I don't want to leave my family yet..."
"Heh heh, I'm only responsible for protecting this guy. I won't interfere with anything else."
The so-called 'ghost messenger' spoke. Yang Tao nodded slightly. Based on his many years of watching anime, although this guy said that, he would definitely step in when the female lead encountered real danger.
Love me, love my dog, as they say.
Just then, a tall figure saw Miko's father. For some reason, this wandering malevolent spirit seemed to have seen something delicious.
"Eat... eat you..."
"Eat..."
While muttering incoherent words, it extended its distorted tentacles and ran towards Miko's father.
Miko's father looked back at the malevolent spirit, his expression unchanged. But the large ghost behind him, before the tentacles could touch Mr. Yotsuya, extended its broad palm and grabbed the attacking tentacle.
The large ghost's face revealed a chilling smile.
With a strong pull, it dragged the malevolent spirit in front of it, then opened its large mouth and bit down on the malevolent spirit's head-like area.
Pfft, blood, invisible to ordinary people, splattered everywhere.
Extreme gore.
The large ghost devoured the malevolent spirit piece by piece, as if eating barbecue. Dark red blood flowed from the corners of its mouth onto its body and the ground.
'Devouring, huh?'
For some reason, he suddenly thought of Elisa. He wondered what she would be like when devouring the power of malevolent spirits.
After devouring the malevolent spirit, the large ghost turned and looked at Yang Tao, that eerie smile reappearing on its face.
Yang Tao: "..."
This large ghost seemed to be showing off something.
"Mr. Yotsuya, I'll be leaving now. I'll come again when I have time."
Yang Tao finished speaking and turned to leave Miko's doorstep. He planned to visit Kayako's house...
Compared to this unknown plot, he felt that Kayako's plot wouldn't take too long.
"Okay. Oh, by the way, I still don't know your name."
"This is my business card..."
As soon as the words fell, a golden business card spun and flew towards him. He subconsciously reached out, but quickly realized:
"I'm already a ghost now..."
But contrary to his expectations, the business card actually hit him directly. Fumbling to catch the business card, an incredulous expression appeared on his face: "It can actually be touched?!"
He looked down at the name on the business card.
"Yang Tao, is it?"
Little did he know that in the eyes of ordinary people, a golden business card was suspended in mid-air until Yotsuya returned to his doorstep.
"Why can't I get in?"
A golden business card knocked on the door with a series of thuds.
It wasn't until Miko opened the door and saw the business card in her father's hand that she reached out and took it.
"Sister, is that the man who was with you?"
"No... no, there's no one. I must have misheard."
Miko said, clutching the business card tightly in her hand.
...
Knock knock.
The door opened. Kayako looked at the man standing at the door, an expression of confusion on her face: "You're the boy who was with Miko, right? Is there something you need?"
"Is Saeki at home?"
"You know my husband? He's home. Please wait a moment, I'll go call him."
Kayako was clearly not very articulate. After saying this, she closed the door apologetically.
Soon, footsteps echoed inside the house again.
The door opened. This time, it was a man who opened the door. He looked at Yang Tao with a puzzled expression and said, "You are?"
Yang Tao showed a bright smile and said, "I'm a staff member from XX Company. I'm here to find amateur actors. As long as you agree to the challenge, you can get a reward of 500,000 Yen, and if you succeed, there's a reward of 3,000,000 Yen. Mr. Saeki, are you interested in learning more?"
