Yang Tao wanted to change the plot of The Grudge purely to provoke the Will of the World, or Destiny, of this world.
However, it seems that not all Will of the Worlds are as petty as the Detective Conan World.
The exploration value for Kayako's family had already been completely depleted, so even if he left now, it wouldn't affect him.
But he still wanted to find some fun while increasing his exploration value, like teasing Saeki Takeo in front of him.
Saeki Takeo looked as if all the strength had been drained from his body, and he swayed unsteadily to the table, plunking down onto the tatami.
Just then, Kayako returned to the room after washing the dishes. Seeing her husband's dejected appearance, she immediately stepped forward and asked concernedly, "Husband, what's wrong? Are you alright?"
She reached out and touched Saeki Takeo's head.
Various images flashed through Saeki Takeo's mind, causing him immense pain. Looking at Kayako, who was concerned about him, he said, "I'm fine..."
Seeing that the two of them were temporarily fine, a smile also appeared on Yang Tao's face.
"Mr. Takeo, if I were you, I'd get a good night's sleep first, gather your strength, and then resolve everything tomorrow."
Saeki Takeo looked at the call history on his phone, and hearing Yang Tao's advice, his expression improved slightly as he said, "I will figure this out."
Looking at Toshio, who was eating chocolate nearby and knew nothing, a smile appeared on Saeki Takeo's face.
...
Upstairs. At the guest room door, Yang Tao said with a meaningful smile, "Mr. Saeki Takeo, are you really not considering challenging the 5 million yen?"
Saeki Takeo gently shook his head and said, "Although I really need 5 million yen, I'll pass. Oh, and the room is a bit small, I hope you don't mind."
"Heh heh, I don't mind. For me, it's all the same where I stay. By the way, the business card I just gave you was pure gold, and that child Toshio seemed to have thrown it into the yard like a flying card..."
"Ah?! Well, Mr. Yang, please rest. I won't disturb you anymore."
Saeki Takeo finished speaking and ran towards the staircase, thudding down the stairs.
Watching Saeki Takeo's figure disappear from the second floor, Yang Tao gently shook his head, thinking, "Now I just need to deal with Kayako's diary. This Kayako, really, how can a good person write a diary..."
Just like him, he never keeps a diary.
Ding ding!
An electronic notification sound rang from his pocket. Yang Tao pulled out a phone from his pants pocket, and there was a new message on it.
He had specifically bought this phone today while shopping, so that Miko could contact him at night when he wasn't around while she was streaming the plot.
"Mr. Yang, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, I'm at Kayako's house."
Miko, who was originally trembling in fear because of the evil spirit in the bathroom, couldn't help but widen her eyes when she saw Yang Tao's reply.
"Aunt Kayako..."
As for the evil spirit, evil spirit? What evil spirit? At this moment, she completely forgot about the evil spirit's existence.
"How did you end up at Aunt Kayako's house?"
"Dealing with some things. What's wrong? Did you run into trouble?"
Trouble = exploration progress.
Solving problems with a formula is fast.
"There's an evil spirit in the bathroom..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Tao walked to the window and looked towards Miko's house.
"Do you need help? If you do, just open the window, and I can be there immediately."
As soon as the message was sent, Yang Tao saw the bathroom window on the second floor of Miko's house being opened from the inside.
Seeing this, Yang Tao leaped out of the window, and a magic broom appeared beneath him, supporting him as he flew towards Miko's house.
Almost in the blink of an eye, Yang Tao had already appeared in front of the window, even meeting Miko, who had opened the window.
Hmm... quite fair-skinned.
Before Miko could speak, Yang Tao leaped into the bathroom, reaching out and grabbing the neck of the evil spirit, which had its back to the bathtub. No matter how the evil spirit struggled, it couldn't break free from his large hand.
A slender Tinkers' Construct rapier appeared in Yang Tao's hand.
Like an emotionless assassin, he quickly stabbed the vengeful spirit's body. Its mere 22 health points vanished instantly, like water being released from a floodgate.
After the evil spirit died, it transformed into specks of light and dissipated in the bathroom. Yang Tao calmly looked at Miko and instructed:
"Alright, it's done. If anything else happens, just call me."
With that, he leaped out of the window he came from, rode the broom, and returned to the guest room at Kayako's house.
Miko: "..."
She had a strange feeling of being seen through, yet not quite.
Knock knock...
Just then, a knock sounded on the bathroom door, and the voice of the young shota Kyosuke came from outside: "Sister, can I take a bath with you?"
The young shota walked into the bathroom, looking at the extremely flushed Miko and the open window, and asked, "Sis, why is this window open? And I think I just heard someone talking in the bathroom."
"You... you misheard. I opened the window. I just felt the bathroom was too stuffy, so I opened the window a bit."
Miko reached out and closed the window, then moved a small stool under the shower and said, "Kyosuke, come, Big Sister will scrub your back."
Kyosuke gently nodded and sat on the stool, enjoying his sister scrubbing his back. Suddenly, he asked, "Sister, do you have a boyfriend?"
"No... no, why do you suddenly ask that?"
"No? I always feel like you've been acting very strange since you went to high school, but Big Sister, if you do get a boyfriend, you must tell me."
Kyosuke felt his sister was acting strange because as he got older, he noticed his sister would often lower her head in thought, looking restless.
Miko smiled upon hearing this and said, "No problem, Kyosuke. When Big Sister gets a boyfriend, I'll definitely tell you."
Kyosuke gently nodded.
Back in the guest room, Yang Tao recalled the scene from earlier, his brows slightly furrowed, and he muttered, "Could it be true, as I suspected, that it's an anime like Highschool of the Dead?"
"Forget it, whatever anime it is, I'll just stream the plot for one more day tomorrow and the day after, and then that's it."
Tomorrow is Sunday in this world, and the day after that, he'll go to school. The school in this kind of anime is definitely an important place for plot development.
"First, let's see what good things this activated accessories mod has. I remember this mod's accessories seem to be based on the accessories from the Terraria game..."
He flipped through the crafting table but found no crafting recipes at all. Yang Tao suddenly remembered that the accessories in this mod seemed to be dropped by the mod's own monster, the Mimic.
"I don't know if the Nether spawns Mimics. If it doesn't spawn Mimics, then this mod was activated for nothing..."
He stretched out his hand and summoned a wooden door, returning to the Overworld.
"First, let's take a look around the Nether..."
