However, the sense of security provided by the Mark Armor was only useful when facing physical attacks.
It was useless when dealing with things like ghosts.
Because not only could he not hit them, he could not even see them.
At this moment, Tanaka Masao was extremely worried that he might also have an evil spirit attached to him.
"What if I get entangled with a super evil female ghost who is fair-skinned, beautiful, and has a super good figure?
Oh, right, if it's a female ghost, she should preferably have long black hair, a white one-piece dress, no shoes or socks, just bare feet.
Her skin should be smooth, without any strange spots, and her posture… "
Female Ghost: "Why are your standards so high?"
After learning about Yotsuya Miko's identity and little secret, Tanaka Masao suddenly had an idea to tease her.
As for the possibility of evil spirits around him, who cared? He could not see them anyway.
"Hey, do you think real ghosts might sneak into the haunted house?"
Fujiwara Chika walked ahead, analyzing seriously.
"If ghosts really exist in the world, haunted houses are indeed their best home.
If they could be hired as staff for the haunted house, not only would there be no need to pay salaries, but they would also achieve excellent scare effects.
Thinking about it this way, they truly are the best choice for workers."
"Wow, Fujiwara-senpai, you actually want to treat them like that."
Tanaka Masao expressed his dissatisfaction with Fujiwara Chika's capitalist behavior.
"How can this be? They occupy the space of the haunted house, so they should be charged rent.
And they should get some kind of energy by scaring tourists, which is too cheap for them, so they also need to be charged.
Moreover, they make the environment particularly eerie, and if the building gets moldy and damaged because of it, someone will have to be hired to repair it, which is also not good.
If I sign a contract with them for several hundred years, how much money will I, the master, lose?"
Hearing Tanaka Masao's entrepreneurial remarks about charging for this and that, Fujiwara Chika retorted.
"Junior Tanaka, you are even worse than me. I'm just finding them jobs, but you want to directly turn them into slaves."
Listening to the two of them, Yurikawa Hana spoke up.
"Wouldn't that be a bit too cruel to them?"
The kind her stated that even ghosts should have basic ghost rights.
"Is it?"
Both of them looked as if it was a matter of course, indicating that their actions should be fine.
At this moment, Yotsuya Miko, who had been quiet on the side, also spoke.
"I don't think that's very good either; it's better to let the dead rest in peace."
Because the haunted house environment was a bit dim, no one noticed the change in Yotsuya Miko's expression and eyes at this time.
At this moment, she was incredibly nervous, her muscles were tense, and there was a deep fear in her eyes.
Because in her vision, an extremely distorted evil spirit had appeared.
The other party was wearing a very conspicuous white shirt, a hip-skirt, pantyhose, and high heels; it was very obvious that she was a professional woman in her lifetime.
Her long hair was disheveled, making it impossible to see her face, and she exuded a strong aura of resentment, mumbling.
"Dog capitalists, forcing me to work overtime all night, deducting my salary for being late, endless pie, endless overtime, endless proposals, endless dinners… "
It could be seen that this female ghost had suffered great oppression in her lifetime, and her resentment was very strong. It was no exaggeration to say that the resentment she had in her lifetime might even be stronger than that of ordinary evil spirits.
A great victim in life, a great vengeful ghost after death.
Yotsuya Miko saw the evil spirit getting closer and closer, while Tanaka Masao and Fujiwara Chika were completely unaware, discussing how to squeeze the most profit out of evil spirits.
"Junior Tanaka, I think there should be a balance between work and rest, so that there can be better work efficiency and enthusiasm."
"Heh, Fujiwara-senpai is shallow, isn't she? How can you use human thinking to consider ghosts?
Ghosts don't need rest. On the contrary, the more you oppress them, the greater their resentment and the stronger their work ability."
Yotsuya Miko quickly said.
"Everyone, let's not talk about this for now. Let's leave the haunted house quickly, otherwise the people behind us will get impatient."
She wanted the two of them to stop quickly and then leave this place, to get rid of the vengeful spirit that was staring at them.
Hearing Yotsuya Miko's urging, Tanaka Masao temporarily stopped his debate with Fujiwara Chika and looked over, a bit puzzled.
"According to my experience, Miko must have an evil spirit nearby if she's acting like this."
However, even though he knew, Tanaka Masao was not afraid at all.
Why?
Because when an evil spirit appeared, it was either targeting Yotsuya Miko, who had top-level spiritual sight, or Yurikawa Hana, who had unusually abundant life energy.
Both of these were top-notch delicacies.
As for himself, he was just an unremarkable background character, so he must taste terrible and have no nutritional value, so evil spirits would probably not even bother looking at him.
At this moment, Tanaka Masao had an inexplicable sense of pride and superiority in his background character attribute.
This was the victory of a background character!
Tanaka Masao originally thought that since Yotsuya Miko always managed to turn danger into safety according to the original plot, perhaps he could stay here a little longer.
That way, he could see Yotsuya Miko's alluring side.
However, considering his own existence as a butterfly, if Yotsuya Miko dragged him down and put him in danger, that would not be good.
If Yotsuya Miko knew what Tanaka Masao was thinking, she would definitely say in a pleasant tone.
"Do you hear, is that a human speaking?"
"That's true, let's go quickly."
Hearing Tanaka Masao agree to leave quickly, Yotsuya Miko's expression did not improve; instead, she became even more terrified.
Because in her vision, the evil spirit's hands had already turned into sharp claws, grabbing towards Tanaka Masao's chest.
She widened her eyes, and her breathing stopped for a moment; at this moment, she had only one thought in her mind.
"Save him."
Although he was a stranger they had just met, and although Tanaka Masao was not a good person, the kind Yotsuya Miko, having seen it, could not sit idly by and watch an ordinary person be harmed by an evil spirit.
Tanaka Masao: "Ah, something's not right. How long have we known each other, and you already think I'm not a good person?
I'm just more frugal and want to save resources."
However, Yotsuya Miko's speed was clearly a bit slow. As soon as she reached out and grabbed Tanaka Masao's hand, before she could pull him, the evil spirit's sharp claws had already plunged squarely into Tanaka Masao's chest.
Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened, and she felt time stop for a moment; at this moment, her mind was racing with thoughts.
"What should I do? Will people die if they are attacked by an evil spirit? Even if they don't die, they will be affected, right? So should I go to a hospital or a shrine?"
