Chapter 2562: Task Reward Is... Sadako

Ryōgi Shiki: "......"

Ryōgi Shiki: "After reviewing several memory copies, I've confirmed...... our world isn't just experiencing the Midnight Ghost Story phenomenon—it's also manifesting the Ju-On phenomenon......"

Ryōgi Shiki: "Previously, Ju-On's range was extremely limited, and to me it was merely rumor...... so I didn't take it seriously. I focused all my attention on the Midnight Ghost Story instead."

Fingers tracing the small knife, Ryōgi Shiki recalled as she spoke in the Society.

Ryōgi Shiki: "Now that I've reviewed the memory copies, I dare confirm...... this isn't just a Midnight Ghost Story."

Magical Girl Illya: "...... What a calamity-ridden Shibukawa City."

Kōsaka Kyōsuke: "So many supernatural phenomena intertwined? That's incredibly potent!"

Yukinoshita Yukino: "Wei Bo."

Arcueid.

Joan of Arc.

I remember you all are from the Type-Moon world—so, have any supernatural phenomena appeared in your regions?"

Joan of Arc: "I have not yet detected any! But...... my Crimson Lotus Flame should be sufficient to suppress such spirits."

Sazex: "There should be no issue! After all, Miss Joan is a saint of the Catholic Church."

Wei Bo: "I haven't encountered any either...... the most common incidents here are Death Apostle murders! We've grown accustomed to them...... they have nothing to do with the supernatural."

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Getting used to it? Cool."

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "...... Miss Yukinoshita! I feel you've misunderstood something."

Wei Bo, Arcueid—they aren't from the same world as Miss Ryōgi."

Wugeng Liuli, slightly exasperated, explained in the Society.

She had once traveled to Ryōgi Shiki's world and naturally had some understanding of it.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "...... They are in a Type-Moon parallel world! The timeline Ryōgi Shiki currently inhabits differs from Wei Bo's and Arcueid's."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "...... So that's how it is?"

Shana: "Should I say, no wonder it's a higher world...... so many parallel worlds! It's hard to even express how overwhelming that is."

Su Xiao Xiao: "Enough bragging! I'll go check if the Society has spawned any new tasks."

Su Han entered the task list and, as expected, found a brand-new task.

...... Task Name: Resolve the Spirit Phenomenon Task Description: The Ju-On phenomenon, which has gradually evolved into a manifestation of this world's fear! The Sadako phenomenon is continuously spreading throughout Shibukawa City.

Absorbing the fear of the city's inhabitants, it grows stronger.

If not stopped, this phenomenon will eventually spread across the entire world.

Causing catastrophic effects on the whole world.

Task Requirements: Completely eradicate the supernatural phenomenon Task Restrictions: Only three participants allowed; competitive task mode Task Reward: 200,000 points, Sadako's VHS Tape, Kaiki's Summoning Card...... Staring at this task, Su Han fell into long silence.

This task...... especially the reward! I don't even know where to begin.

Rubbing his temples, Su Han took a screenshot and sent it to the Society.

Su Xiao Xiao: "Tell me your thoughts on this task."

Enma Daiko: "......"

Kōsaka Kyōsuke: "What the hell is 'this world's fear'? I've heard of 'this world's evil' and 'this world's pot'...... but 'this world's fear'?"

Bai Hu Zi: "By definition, it's probably a collective embodiment of world concepts, similar to 'this world's evil'."

Bai Hu Zi: "But right now, this collective is still in a very immature state. Over time, as it gathers human fear and resentment, it will gradually grow stronger. Gura-lala."

Edogawa Conan: "My guess aligns with Grandpa Bai Hu Zi's."

Yukinoshita Yukino: "For this task...... who wants to participate?"

Gudako: "...... Hahaha! Let you guys take this one. I've been busy training my magic lately...... Farewell!"

Kōsaka Kyōsuke: "As a senior, I should show some deference to the juniors.

Whoever wants to go, go ahead! I'll watch your livestreams and silently encourage you."

Hatsune Miku Future Miku: "...... No, you're just plain scared."

Hatsune Miku Future Miku stared at members who once were obsessed with tasks, now so humble and considerate toward juniors...... She covered her forehead, unsure where to even begin venting.

Hatsune Mikura looked at the members who had once been fanatically devoted to missions! Now they had become incomparably humble and considerate toward their juniors... She covered her own forehead, not knowing where to begin her complaints.

You're afraid of spirits and stop competing for tasks? Fine.

You'd better all refuse this task—then it'll naturally fall into my hands."

The old Hou Jue sneered, utterly disdainful.

Aikawa Ayumu: "...... Actually, I just think the reward for this task is bizarre."

Aikawa Ayumu: "Sadako's VHS Tape and Kaiki's Summoning Card...... is the Society trying to kill us?"

Aikawa Ayumu: "Sadako's videotape! And Kayako's summoning card... Does the Suoyigong Society want us dead?"

Kikyo: "Please begin selecting participants for the task, Master."

Su Xiao Xiao: "...... Alright!"

Su Han shrugged. He actually thought the old Hou Jue had a point.

"Perhaps because power comes too easily here, these people in the Society still need to strengthen and temper their minds."

"It might be because the power was obtained too easily! So the fellows inside the Suoyigong Society still need to strengthen and temper their mental disposition."

He spoke directly.

Su Xiao Xiao: "The scramble for tasks begins now!"

As Su Han's words ended, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.

As Su Han's words fell, a crisp sound suddenly rang out.

"Ding! Guild Leader Su Xiao Xiao! Kikyou! Shaka have successfully joined this mission."

Silence.

Then...... Fujiwara Sai: "......"

Sakuragi Hanamichi: ""

Kuroko Tetsuya: "...... Terrifying! As for Miss Kikyou, it's still understandable...... As a shrine maiden, she naturally possesses the purifying ability to restrain ghosts and demons! But...... Mr. Shaka joining this mission......"

Wudao Dong Xiang: "Lightspeed Fist warning.

, Saint Seiya warning.
