Chapter 90: Evil Spirits Everywhere

In the afternoon, one could clearly see the surrounding environment on the sea, and the scene of the sunset falling below the sea level was very attractive.

"So beautiful."

Ran Mouri, who liked the scenery, leaned on the railing and looked at the scenery of the sea level.

"Mm, the sea at this time is indeed very beautiful."

"Amamiya... eh?"

Sonoko Suzuki turned her head, preparing to call Amamiya to come and see.

But as she turned, she saw both Saginomiya and Amamiya standing on the edge of the railing, looking at the distant island, which was their destination, Moon Shadow Island.

"Quite a lot of evil spirits."

"Can Lord Amamiya see them too?"

"Mm."

Even from far away, one could already see some evil spirits darting out through the evening glow.

The scale of this island was not small, but there were more than a dozen evil spirits floating above it.

This scene was too eerie in the eyes of those with special abilities.

After all, the conditions for the birth of evil spirits were quite harsh; intense obsession was the biggest condition for the birth of an evil spirit.

If the evil spirit also possessed conditions like dying an unjust death, the resentment and influence would likely be even greater.

It was quite troublesome.

"This trip really didn't disappoint me at all."

Ren Amamiya sighed.

"Evil spirits act within a certain range; they all have the protection of the diary, so it's a bit difficult for evil spirits to get close to them."

"But others are still a bit troublesome."

"Please don't worry."

Isumi Saginomiya immediately took out a large number of paper charms.

These were the spirit-exorcising tools she usually prepared, kept by her side at all times, just in case.

"I have prepared plenty by my side."

"Once we land, let Miss Maria and the others keep them by their side at all times."

"If the diary has a protective function, let those who don't have the ability to protect themselves stay with the diary holders."

"Mm, that's also a way."

Ren Amamiya's gaze was locked on those evil spirits.

"An island that has given birth to so many evil spirits, the secrets on this island are not small."

"Sanzenin doesn't have much resistance to these things, right?"

"Mm."

Isumi Saginomiya was slightly troubled.

"Mouri is also very bad with those things."

Ren Amamiya also blurted out Mouri's situation.

Things like evil spirits were generally not suitable for girls.

"I personally hate them too."

"However, after possessing the means to counter them, those evil spirits have almost no influence on me."

Isumi Saginomiya also agreed.

"I don't like them either."

Confirming the situation, Ren Amamiya gathered everyone together before docking.

"Everyone, come over for a moment."

Those who heard the voice gathered around.

"First of all, a reminder: this is not a good thing, especially for girls."

Just with this sentence, the girls present felt a wave of bad premonition.

"Our destination, that Moon Shadow Island, already has more than a dozen evil spirits."

"???"

The girls present were all stunned.

Then, realizing what he meant, their faces changed drastically.

This was not a joke.

"Saginomiya and I speculate that the birth of the evil spirits has a certain relationship with some things that happened on that island."

"Those evil spirits were almost all born from human spirits."

"Evil spirits do not have subjective consciousness; they are almost all driven by negative energy."

"Normally speaking, their range of activity is at night, and all within the areas where they once died."

"However, this time it's a bit unreasonable."

As he spoke, Ren Amamiya turned to look at the island not far away.

As the sun slowly set, the evil spirits active above the island began to become more active.

"The range of activity of those evil spirits is a bit too large."

"Normally speaking, this phenomenon should absolutely not appear."

Isumi Saginomiya walked out at this time.

"Unless it encounters another special situation."

"The obsession possessed by the evil spirits is very strong, and the murderer is still on the island."

"Only then would the evil spirits, because of excessive obsession and the strong negative emotions of being killed, be prompted to wander around the island."

"Isn't that very dangerous?"

Ran Mouri couldn't help but interject.

Her face was pale at this moment; she found it very hard to accept supernatural things.

Especially when she knew that those things really existed.

"No."

Isumi Saginomiya shook her head slightly.

"Those wandering evil spirits are not dangerous."

"If it were evil spirits limited to a certain area, they would be very dangerous; in the area where they died, the negative energy of the evil spirits is the greatest, so they can affect people's safety."

"But those evil spirits have actively expanded their range of activity, which instead makes their negative energy unable to cause substantial harm to people."

"The most serious situation is just having nightmares at night, and being prone to mental fatigue."

"This should be the mildest symptom."

But saying this, Isumi Saginomiya paused.

After thinking for a moment, she decided to say it.

"According to my judgment, there should have been some serious murder cases on that island."

"The island is far from the city and is an archipelago standing in the sea."

"If some big things happen here, I'm afraid no one will know except the people on the island."

"And if those victims all snuck onto the island, perhaps even the residents on the island wouldn't know."

The clever Nagi Sanzenin immediately reacted.

"Because there are people who smuggle into the island like this."

"So, should it be that someone is engaged in some shady industries on the island, which is why there are so many victims?"

Isumi Saginomiya nodded slightly; that was what she meant.

"So that's it."

"Those victims should be people who were engaged in some shady industries and were disposed of. Just because they were disposed of, they have great resentment, thus turning into some evil spirits."

Sonoko Suzuki also roughly understood where those evil spirits came from after hearing this.

Being able to engage in some shady industries on a small island must be for money.

And their deaths were probably because the people behind them didn't want to share the money with them.

A group of idiots who took risks for money, not even thinking about whether their boss would abide by the agreement.

No wonder they became evil spirits.

With such great resentment, how could they not turn into evil spirits?

"The three most profitable ways in the world."

"Prostitution, gambling, and drugs."

"This small island really looks like a place infected with these three viruses."

"Far from the city, not many people, suitable for doing these shady industries."

Ren Amamiya really couldn't find a place more suitable for shady industries than this small island.
