In the end, Yotsuya Miko obediently stayed as Duanmu Huai requested. On one hand, she really wanted to resolve the threat in the school, after all, that monster would actively attack humans, and Yotsuya Miko didn't want her friends to get attacked.

On the other hand...

Following behind Duanmu Huai, Yotsuya Miko curiously observed him, her expression somewhat complex.

Yotsuya Miko knew a little about Duanmu Huai's reputation; after all, he had appeared on television as a detective several times before. However, Yotsuya Miko didn't expect that Duanmu Huai possessed such strength.

But... what exactly is this strength?

Yotsuya Miko looked at the shadow behind Duanmu Huai, her heart puzzled. Ever since she could see those monsters, Yotsuya Miko experienced a lot. She had seen those wild ghosts and apparitions, and those terrifying monsters resembling demons. She had even seen some evil spirits that would possess humans. Of course, almost everyone remained completely unaware of this, even if they were surrounded by evil spirits, they had no idea at all.

At most, they would just feel a little unwell.

Initially, Yotsuya Miko thought that Duanmu Huai might be something like a medium or an exorcist, but she quickly found out that was not the case. Yotsuya Miko had met people similar to mediums before, although they had limited abilities and couldn't see what she could, their methods were quite similar to what Yotsuya Miko imagined.

For instance, exorcism prayer beads and the like, resembling the methods people imagined for exorcism.

But Duanmu Huai was entirely different.

Yotsuya Miko could see that he could easily control that terrifying monster in the shadow, as if the monster was a part of his body. The monsters in the school... Yotsuya Miko couldn't judge how strong they really were, but at least they were beyond what she could handle. However, Duanmu Huai could effortlessly destroy them just by getting close. Those tentacles seemed like fierce snakes, mercilessly tearing and binding those evil spirits and monsters, dragging them into the shadow to be devoured. Yotsuya Miko could even hear the faint screams and sounds of tearing and devouring coming from the shadow...

Honestly, compared to that eerie shadow, Yotsuya Miko found Duanmu Huai's fierce face somewhat reassuring.

At least... he looked more like a human than those monsters.

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

To be honest, Yotsuya Miko didn't dare to ask Duanmu Huai this question, she had a bad feeling that if she brought up this question, it might cause trouble.

Duanmu Huai didn't know what Yotsuya Miko was thinking. He walked in the dim corridor, observing around and thinking — at this moment, Duanmu Huai held a flashlight in one hand and a cellphone in the other.

It wasn't Duanmu Huai's cellphone, but the Literary Girl's cellphone.

Although it was already broken, for Duanmu Huai, as long as the object itself was still there, he could use retrospection. And he conducted it for the cellphone as soon as he got it.

Most of the situations were no different from what Duanmu Huai previously understood. The Literary Girl was an enthusiastic supernatural lover, who planned to take supernatural photos for a contest cash prize after reading that supernatural magazine. In the library, she found an old record book with a photo taken a long time ago that showed translucent tentacles wrapped around the students in the photo. And because of this, after learning the exact location, the Literary Girl decided to go to the air-raid shelter to take similar photos.

But, the problem was with that book.

She purchased this book online because she wanted to "increase the success rate of photographing supernatural events." So, the Literary Girl ordered this Black Magic Book online, and in fact, through cellphone retrospection, Duanmu Huai did see that before taking photos, the Literary Girl opened the book and chanted something softly before she turned to take pictures — just that the initial desktop view from Duanmu Huai didn't capture it.

Honestly, Duanmu Huai always had a hard time understanding the logic of these supernatural enthusiasts. Since they are supernatural enthusiasts, they must have heard many stories about evil spirits killing people, yet even so, they still go out of their way to seek these evil spirits. Duanmu Huai felt that this was simply self-contradictory — or perhaps, when they seek evil spirits, they never considered that they might be killed by them?

In the story of Lord Ye, he didn't search for the dragon; rather, it was the dragon that approached him.

However, this group of fools would actively seek evil spirits, and even feared they wouldn't come, trying all sorts of methods to attract them — are they foolish? Or just dumb?

But anyway, that stupid person paid the price for their stupidity, so that isn't the problem. The problem is... the effect of that book actually was real?

After all, according to records, a similar incident had never occurred in the school, and even though no one usually went to the air-raid shelter, it was used for storing sundries and many people went in and out during cultural festivals and sports competitions. If those monsters had always been there, it would have been impossible for them not to attack those students.
