Chapter 55: Terrifying Upon Deep Thought, Unthinkable, Dare Not Probe Deeply

Public outrage erupted.

The conversation between Sakada Wenzhijie and President Yamazaki ignited public fury.

It can be foreseen that as the video spreads and public opinion intensifies, the government must intervene; to ease the pressure of public opinion, they will surely take action to crack down, causing the conglomerates and the yakuza to curb their behavior to some extent.

Leaving those aside, one thing is certain: the apartment land development project will stop, because under public scrutiny, many will focus on the apartment; no conglomerate dares to take over the project at this time, and even if they do, they must follow standard procedures, with not a single cent of compensation missing.

Two outcomes are acceptable to Kamikawa Mitsu: reasonable compensation for relocation or halting the project development; this is a deal that loses nothing, unlike the previous forced purchase and forced sale.

The bullet-screen condemnation of the conglomerates, exploitation, the Sakada Group, and the Yamazaki Company continued until Sakada Wenzhijie handed over two innocent girls to Yamazaki.

Throughout the entire process, everyone turned into keyboard warriors, with the bullet-screen filled with profanity, short of only bombing the Sakada family's ancestral graves.

And when Sakada Wenzhijie handed over the innocent girls and was about to lead President Yamazaki out the first-floor door.

【High energy ahead!】

【High energy ahead! Non-combat personnel evacuate immediately!】

【High energy ahead! Everyone quickly find cover; keep fast-acting heart pills ready!】

The door opened, and the style suddenly changed.

Sakada Wenzhijie and his group appeared in the Twilight Supernatural world.

The first-floor door of the Sakada Group seemed like a key to the Supernatural world; the moment it was pulled, the key turned, and the passage to the Supernatural world opened.

【A portal!!】

【Confirmed! The Sakada Group's first-floor door is a portal】

【Doraemon! Your portal has been leaked by the Sakada Group!】

【Doraemon, come out quickly, did you embed the portal into the Sakada Group's first floor?】

【A righteous strike from Doraemon!】

【So how did they get there? Just because they opened a door?】

【Yes, just because they opened a door, so let's not open doors anymore; opening doors is dangerous; from now on, please enter homes and places by jumping through windows】

Many people were baffled yet impressed, unable to understand why the Sakada Group's door led directly to the Supernatural world upon opening.

Some, seeking the truth, watched the video's time segment back and forth for ages, yet still couldn't figure out the reason.

In their understanding, the Sakada Group must have stumbled upon some special mechanism by accident, thus leading to the Supernatural world.

They never expected that the Sakada Group could reach the Supernatural world just by opening a door.

【I get it, Hour of the Wolf!】

【Are you Bai Chi? This is the Hour of the Wolf!】

【Please watch the clock on the wall in the video, deduce the time they opened the door, and also note the sky in the Supernatural world】

【They opened the door exactly at seven o'clock in the evening! Precisely the final moment of the Twilight Hour of the Wolf.】

Amidst a screen full of teasing and baffled-but-impressed bullet comments, a few bullet comments were mixed in.

Suddenly, not everyone was confused; some analysis experts, after meticulous observation and a round of analysis, reached a conclusion.

At this moment.

The classroom exploded, with everyone discussing the 'Hour of the Wolf'.

In Japanese Onmyodo, it has been passed down that the twilight (5 PM to 7 PM) and dawn (3 AM to 5 AM) are the times when ghosts and demons are most likely to appear, and also the times when humans and ghosts appear simultaneously.

At that time, day and night alternate, the sky turns dim yellow, making it impossible to distinguish whether it is night or day, light or darkness; it is the most chaotic moment of heaven and earth.

This moment is called the Hour of the Wolf.

Looking around, the classmates were chatting happily; seeing their surprised and bewildered expressions, Kamikawa Mitsu glanced imperceptibly at Omuro Xia Mei.

Just now, as soon as the video played the Sakada Group opening the door and entering the Supernatural world, the classmates present either had blank faces or black-question-mark faces, completely unable to understand what was happening.

However.

There was one person who was the sole exception.

Omuro Xia Mei!

She was the only one who was not only not confused but also immediately recognized and stated it was the Hour of the Wolf.

"Not simple, this Omuro Xia Mei," Kamikawa Mitsu murmured softly.

He was not surprised that Omuro Xia Mei could guess the Hour of the Wolf, given her background in a shrine family, but he was surprised that she could react instantly.

From this point alone, it is enough to show that she is very knowledgeable about ghosts and chaotic spirits, and also that she is very smart.

With just one glance, she could quickly deduce the Hour of the Wolf; this thinking, insight, and analytical ability cannot be called anything but smart.

Immediately after.

The video continued playing; just as people watch the Yunhu scenery, in the video, the Sakada Group encountered an empty eerie street, an earthquake, pervasive demonic energy, and the appearance of demons.

However, the camera angle in the video was completely different from watching the Yunhu scenery.

Looking at the video footage, it was clear that the cameraperson was standing right beside the Sakada Group, filming the Sakada Group's incident from start to finish in real time.

Everyone noticed the issue with the video's shooting angle.

At once, streams of amazed bullet comments followed.

Everyone was curious, suspicious, and shocked.

【NH137's shooting angle was strange enough, but how is this video the same? What's the UP owner's background?】

【The UP owner wasn't taken to the Supernatural world too, was he?】

【I now seriously suspect whether the UP owner is human or a demon】

【I can't take it anymore; combining NH137 with this video, it's terrifying upon deep thought】

【My heavens, what exactly is the UP owner's background? Why can he film videos others cannot? In both videos, he gives me a sense of being on the scene】

【NH137 is understandable, but that is the Supernatural world; how did the UP owner film it...】

Countless people went crazy.

They discovered that the video wasn't just shot from angles as if the cameraperson were on-site—it also captured the conversations of the Sakurada Group.

Unlike the scenery of Yunhu, this video was not silent!

This further made people feel the videographer had been right there, filming every word and action of the Sakurada Group.

The thought was chilling!

Impossible to contemplate!

Too terrifying to investigate!

The moment they imagined the uploader filming in the Supernatural world and returning to produce and upload the video, many shuddered, their skin prickled with goosebumps, and their scalps felt ready to split open.

Who exactly is the "Lost King"!!

He managed to film in the Supernatural world and return to produce the video—does this mean he came back unharmed? Yes! He must have returned unharmed; otherwise, how could he have had the leisure to make the video?

Then how did he return? He never appeared on Arida Street.

If he didn't appear on Arida Street but returned to the real world to post the video, doesn't that mean he came back through another route?

But how would he know about another route?

Could it be that he knows how to travel between the Supernatural world and the real world?

If he knows… how did he come to know? Could the closure of the passage between the Supernatural world and the real world be connected to him?

Also, if he knows the passage, has he already had contact with the supernatural beings?

Moreover, since he returned unharmed from the Supernatural world, could it be that he isn't human at all—but a supernatural being? After all, if he were a supernatural being, he wouldn't fear dying in the Supernatural world and could easily return unharmed.

If he is a supernatural being, what kind of supernatural being is he?

Or perhaps he isn't a supernatural being but a human—then how did he return unharmed? Does he have a method to combat supernatural beings? What kind of person is he? Could he be an Onmyoji, a Shinto priest, a shrine maiden, or a monk?

And… why did he film these videos? Out of curiosity? If not curiosity, then what purpose?

If the videos were made with intent, then did his earlier NH137 video also have a special purpose?

Or could both videos share the same filming objective? If so, is there a connection between the NH137 video and the Yunhu video? What connection? Could NH137 also involve supernatural mischief…

The more they thought about it,

the more questions arose—one after another, endless and unresolvable.

And the more they thought, the more chilling it became; the more they felt they had touched upon some great secret, the more they felt the Lost King was unfathomable, terrifying, and extraordinary.

At this moment,

countless hearts were shaken, breaths quickened, hearts pounded, and their blood and bodies heated involuntarily.
