Chapter 1400: Dark Night Demon (How is everyone's Black Myth going?)

In the end, Yotsuya Miko stayed at Duanmu Huai's request. On the one hand, she really wanted to solve the threat in the school. After all, the monster would actively attack humans, and Yotsuya Miko didn't want her friends to be attacked.

On the other hand…

Following behind Duanmu Huai, Si Gu Jianzi looked at Duanmu Huai curiously with a complicated expression.

Yotsuya Miko knew a little about Duanmu Huai's fame, after all, he had been a detective on TV several times in this world. But Yotsuya Miko didn't expect that Duanmu Huai actually had such power.

  But...what kind of power is this?

Yotsuya Miko looked at the shadow behind Duanmu Huai, feeling puzzled. Since she was able to see those monsters, Yotsuya Miko has experienced a lot. She has seen those ghosts and wild ghosts, and those terrible monsters that look like demons. She has even seen some evil spirits possessing humans. Of course, almost everyone knows nothing about this, and even if they themselves are surrounded by evil spirits, these people are not aware of it at all.

At most, you will just feel a little unwell.

At first, Yotsuya Miko thought Duanmu Huai might be some kind of psychic or exorcist, but she soon discovered that this was not the case. Yotsuya Miko had met someone similar to a psychic before, and although the other party's power was limited and could not see what she could see, the mother-in-law's methods were very similar to what Yotsuya Miko imagined.

For example, exorcism beads are very similar to the means of exorcism that people imagine.

But Duanmu Huai is completely different.

Yotsuya Miko could see that he could easily control the scary monster in the shadow, as if the scary monster was a part of his body. Those monsters in the school... Yotsuya Miko couldn't tell how strong they were, but at least they were all existences that she couldn't deal with. However, Duanmu Huai easily destroyed them just by approaching them. Those tentacles were like a group of ferocious snakes, ruthlessly tearing and binding those evil spirits and monsters, and then dragging them into the shadow to devour them. Yotsuya Miko could even hear faint screams and the sound of tearing and devouring coming from the shadow...

To be honest, compared to that strange shadow, Yotsuya Miko felt that Duanmu Huai's ferocious face was more reassuring.

At least...it looks more like a human than the monsters I've seen before.

  Oh, no, he is originally a human being... a human being, right?

To be honest, Yotsuya Miko didn't dare to ask Duanmu Huai this question. She had a bad feeling that if she asked Duanmu Huai this question, something might happen.

Duanmu Huai had no idea what Yotsuya Jianzi was thinking. He walked in the dim corridor, looking around and thinking. At this moment, Duanmu Huai was holding a flashlight in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.

That was not Duanmu Huai’s cell phone, but the literary girl’s cell phone.

Although it was broken, for Duanmu Huai, as long as the object itself was still there, he could trace back to the past. And he traced back to it as soon as he got the phone.

Most of the situation was the same as what Duanmu Huai had known before. The literary girl was an avid fan of the supernatural. After reading the supernatural magazine, she planned to take supernatural photos and submit them for prize money. Then she found a photo from a long time ago in an old record book in the library. It captured a translucent tentacle wrapped around the body of the student in the photo. Because of this, after learning the specific location of the place, the literary girl decided to go to the air-raid shelter to take the same photo.

But, the problem is that book.

The book was purchased online by the literary girl because she wanted to "increase the success rate of taking supernatural photos". So the literary girl placed an order online and bought this black magic book. In fact, through the mobile phone review, Duanmu Huai did see that before taking the photo, the literary girl opened the book and whispered something, and then turned around to take the photo - it was just that Duanmu Huai's table perspective did not see it at the beginning.

  To be honest, Duanmu Huai has always been a little confused about the logic of these paranormal enthusiasts. Since they are all paranormal enthusiasts, they must have heard a lot of stories about evil spirits killing people. However, even so, they still try their best to find these evil spirits. Duanmu Huai thinks this is simply a self-contradictory approach - or when they are looking for evil spirits, they never think that they will be killed by evil spirits?

In the story of Ye Gong loving dragons, Ye Gong did not go looking for dragons, but the dragons came to him on their own initiative.

  But these idiots went to find the evil spirits themselves, and were afraid that they would not come, so they used various means to try to get the evil spirits to come - are they stupid? Or foolish?

But no matter what, that stupid guy paid the price for his stupidity, so that’s not the problem. The problem is...is the effect of that book actually real?

After all, according to records, there has never been a similar incident in the school, and although no one usually goes to the air-raid shelter, it is used to store sundries, so people go in and out during cultural festivals and sports competitions. If those monsters are always there, it is impossible for them not to attack those students.

After all, in Japanese schools, there are always many students who go home late to prepare for cultural festivals, and some even stay in school. These are excellent prey, but this has never happened in all these years, which means that the monsters may have been sleeping or sealed.

Until he was awakened by the magic book of the literary girl...

Duanmu Huai has taken out the data card inside and asked Sha Jiuye to take it back to Shionji Yuko for analysis. She should be able to find out where the literary girl bought this magic book from.

And that magazine...Duanmu Huai always had a feeling that this thing was inseparable from the Church of the Light of the Universe.

The school was naturally eerie at night, but Duanmu Huai was not afraid, and Yotsuya Miko seemed to just follow him silently.

For Duanmu Huai, staying up late is not a big deal, but for Yotsuya Miko, it is not the case. Because she has not encountered anything, her head has begun to nod and she is a little drowsy. However, Yotsuya Miko still forced herself to cheer up...

"Ah-ho--!"

Because of this, the sudden greeting from behind scared Yotsuya Miko so much that she almost fell to the ground. She turned her head in horror, only to see behind Yotsuya Miko, Nemu Sanatori, smiling and raising his hand, waving towards her.

"Why did you come here?"

  Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously. After all, he had already sensed Menme Satori. But what was the point of this guy running out in the middle of the night instead of taking good care of his injuries?

"Hey? Aren't you looking for that monster? Satori is also going to seek revenge on them. After all, Satori hasn't chopped them to death or stabbed them to death yet, and she's very unwilling~~~"

In response to Duanmu Huai's question, Menmu Satori's voice was as calm and leisurely as ever, giving people the feeling that it did not sound like a voice that would appear in a school corridor late at night.

Although the content is very that.

"Who is this kid?"

At this moment, Nenmu Sanatori also noticed Yotsuya Miko and stared at her curiously, and Yotsuya Miko hurriedly lowered her head.

“Ah, Mianjin-senpai, my name is Yotsuya Miko, and I am…”

"She might be able to see the monster, so I brought her along."

Duanmu Huai gave an explanation quickly, and Menmu Sanatori's eyes lit up.

"Oh? Really? In that case, Komiko, you better do your best. If you see that monster, be sure to tell Satori~~~"

"Ah, yes..."

Looking at the face of Nyume-satori approaching, Yotsuya Kenko nodded awkwardly, while the latter giggled, turned around and continued walking forward.

Duanmu Huai glanced at Mianme Sanatori, then looked at Yotsuya Miko. "Is there anything strange about her?"

"No... no, Senior Mianjin looks normal to me."

If it looks abnormal, it must be natural.

After Nemu Satori joined, the three continued to inspect the entire teaching building, and then came to the woods behind. Under the night, the woods in front of them were not dark. Perhaps because the trees were sparse, the moonlight shone through the shade of the trees, casting spots of shadows in the entire woods, but this made people look even more frightened.

However, the three people present had a different concept of fear than ordinary people, so even when walking in the woods, they did not feel nervous at all.

Mime Satori changed into a new uniform. Logically, the bite wound would not heal so quickly, but she didn't seem to care. At least from her movements, she didn't feel any pain at all. The girl hopped in front at the same leisurely pace as yesterday, while Duanmu Huai and Yotsuya Miko followed behind.

It was already late at night, and the lights in Qianyuan Dormitory had long been turned off. Yotsuya Miko looked up at the street lights not far away, feeling somewhat melancholy. She wondered if her mother and brother would worry about her. Although she had already called to inform them, she was still somewhat worried...

“Eat, eat, eat…”

A slight snickering sound blew along with the night breeze, and Yotsuya Kenko couldn't help but stop, and at the same time Duanmu Huai and Mianme Sanatori also stopped.

"Did you hear that?"

"I heard it~~~"

"I, I heard it too..."

Yotsuya Miko answered tremblingly, looking around anxiously at the same time. Hearing strange giggles in the middle of the night in the uninhabited woods? No matter how you look at it, this doesn't seem like a scene that can make people feel at ease.

Yotsuya Miko subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and then... she froze in place.

“I, I saw…”

Yotsuya Miko's voice was as faint as the buzz of a mosquito, but Duanmu Huai suddenly clenched his fists, and then the tentacles behind him quickly stretched out and entered Yotsuya Miko's body, immediately scanning, copying and transmitting her data.

Then, Duanmu Huai also saw it.

It was a monster that was hard to imagine. Its entire body was as transparent as a jellyfish, with no head, no face, and no eyes. Only tentacles were wriggling on its body, which reminded Duanmu Huai of the fish worms he had seen in the flower, bird, fish and insect market when he was a child. Countless slender worms gathered together, stretched out in all directions, and wriggled.

When I was a kid I thought those fish worms were disgusting, and now seeing something hundreds of times bigger floating in the air...it's even more disgusting.

Its entire body is transparent, and you can even see the blood vessels inside. Countless tentacles spread out like flowers from the sky, and the suction-cup-like mouthparts on the top keep opening and closing hungrily.

At the same time, the name of this monster finally appeared in front of Duanmu Huai.

【Star Essence】

"caught you!"

The moment he saw the monster, Duanmu Huai immediately perked up, raised his hand, and then the dark shadow condensed into a tentacle and waved towards the monster floating in the air. The latter seemed to have not expected to be discovered at all, and was knocked to the ground by the tentacles. At the same time, Duanmu Huai's shadow tentacles began to melt and penetrate into the body of the monster, quickly making it reveal its form.

"Alas-----!"

Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko was so scared that he took a few steps back and collapsed on the ground, while Duanmu Huai and Mianme Sanatori rushed over without hesitation!

"Ahahaha, I finally found you!"

If it were an ordinary person, seeing the true face of this monster would probably have frightened him like Yotsuya Miko, but Menme Sanatori was not frightened at all. On the contrary, she looked like she had met an old friend, and she smiled, raised her sword and rushed towards the prey in front of her.

“Eat, eat, eat!!!”

At this moment, the monster once again let out a cunning chuckle, and at the same time, several tentacles opened their mouths and pounced towards the two of them like a group of flying snakes.

"Hey!"

  Facing the tentacles that were rushing towards her, Mianmu Satori held the hilt of the sword tightly with her right hand, and pressed her left hand on the ridge of the sword, posing a strange posture. She then dodged the opponent's attack by moving sideways, and then turned the knife over and pressed it against the tentacle, pressing down with her left hand!

"Pfft!"

With the action of Mianmu Satori, the tentacle was easily cut off by her. The severed tentacle flew in the air, then fell to the ground, and then gradually melted and disappeared. Mianmu Satori, who saw this scene, laughed happily again and continued to attack other tentacles.

On the other side, Duanmu Huai also pounced directly at the monster in front of him.

Since the opponent's true identity has been confirmed, the enemy is nothing to be afraid of for Duanmu Huai. The most tricky thing about this monster is its stealth performance that cannot be detected by humans. Therefore, once it loses its stealth performance, it is just an ordinary monster to Duanmu Huai.

But in Yotsuya Miko's eyes, that was not the case.

She watched Duanmu Huai's huge body rushing forward like a monster, the tentacles madly wrapped around Duanmu Huai's body, opened their mouths and tried desperately to bite Duanmu Huai's body and limbs. However, the man in front of her was not moved at all. He stretched out his strong arms, grabbed the tentacles that rushed towards him, tore them off alive, and then threw them aside. He continued to stride forward, and Yotsuya Miko just watched him rush into the body of the tentacle monster, and the latter's tentacles quickly swelled up and completely wrapped Duanmu Huai up.

Then, the body of that horrible monster began to swell gradually, and then suddenly exploded!

"boom!!"

Menme Sanatori next to him quickly stepped back, not forgetting to cut off another tentacle that was struggling to death. Yotsuya Miko also subconsciously raised her hands to block in front of her. When she put her hands down, she only saw Duanmu Huai standing on the ground - and the broken pieces of flesh around his body.
