Chapter 24 A delicious start!

'The cursed tape?'

It sounds delicious.

Jason's eyes lit up.

Then, he sat there quietly and stared at Boss Rock.

Under Jason's gaze, Boss Rock said quickly.

"It should be something like an urban legend."

"The rumor is that there is a videotape. Anyone who watches it will die of myocardial infarction within seven days. If they want to survive, they can only copy the videotape and give it to others to watch."

Boss Rock said what he knew, and his eyes kept glancing at Jason.

He looked like he was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?"

Jason asked.

"It is rumored that... the contents of the videotape are a well and a woman in white who will crawl out of the well."

Boss Rock replied.

"well?"

"The woman in white?"

Jason subconsciously thought of the content that appeared on the second-hand TV.

"Um."

"It's the rumor I told you before."

"But not from TV, but from the video tape...or there may be something in it that we don't know yet, but it really happened."

Speaking of this, fear appeared on Boss Rock's face.

Yesterday, the second-hand TV that was sold was inexplicably broken.

He always felt uneasy.

Every TV sold is carefully inspected by Boss Rock.

This is not only his work attitude, but also a habit he has developed over the past twenty years.

His accumulated experience may not make him an electrical inventor or the like, but he is a skilled electrical repairman in the true sense.

Therefore, when a perfectly good TV suddenly and inexplicably broke in front of his eyes, and on the premise that there was no human intervention, Boss Rock, an elderly man, naturally started to think in certain directions.

Especially, the person who sold this TV told such a story.

So, after leaving the office yesterday, the rock boss hesitated and dialed a friend's phone number.

The seller of the second-hand TV did not leave his contact information, but he learned something through this friend.

In just one month, people around him died one after another.

The other party is really like a god of death.

'Something weird happened around that guy.'

'Don't touch him and don't accept anything from him.'

This was the advice from Boss Rock’s friend.

But the more his friend warned him like this, the more curious Boss Rock became when he was frightened.

He couldn't help but find another friend who was in some kind of secret zone.

'It should be 'Curse Tape'!'

'That's a terrible thing!'

'If you look at it, you will definitely die within seven days!'

'If you want to avoid death, you can only copy the videotape and let others watch it - die on his behalf.'

The words of the two friends were directly connected.

The truth is obvious.

The seller of the second-hand TV probably came into contact with the 'cursed tape' and wanted to survive, and then deaths began one after another around him.

In other words, the other party was just deceived by the people around him.

He was also the one who accepted the copy of the videotape.

That……

Will Jason be okay?

Thinking of the strangeness of the second-hand TV, Boss Rock really didn't sleep all night.

He didn't want to kill Jason or anyone else because of his unconscious actions.

Therefore, he has been looking at Jason's "Mask X Knife X Flesh" agency.

After seeing Jason go out.

After personally confirming that Jason was fine, the rock boss finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yesterday, did you see it yesterday?"

Boss Rock asked Jason tentatively.

"No."

Jason said with great certainty.

Jason could see Boss Rock's true kindness.

Faced with such goodwill, he would naturally not refute it.

Seeing Jason's affirmation, Boss Rock was truly relieved.

"That's good, that's good."

Boss Rock said repeatedly.

"Do you know that person's address?"

"The guy who sells your second-hand TV."

Jason asked.

"you?"

Boss Rock was stunned.

"I am an exorcist after all."

"When you encounter something like this, you will naturally be curious."

"I'd love to see that 'cursed tape'."

Jason said this, but deep down in his heart, he was extremely excited.

The 'Curse Tape' is not just a copy.

Can also be copied!

Does the copied product taste like ‘food’?

According to what Boss Rock said, it must have a taste.

That……

How many ‘curse tapes’ have been copied now?

That……

How delicious was the original 'Curse Tape'?

When he thought of this, Jason naturally became excited.

As for the danger?

Of course Jason knew.

But for Jason, what he is not afraid of the most is the difficulty of hunting. What he is afraid of is not being able to find food.

Boss Rock looked at Jason, who smiled calmly.

In the end, Boss Rock chose to compromise.

He wrote down an address.

"This is that guy's address."

Boss Rock said.

Then, after a slight hesitation, the old man wrote another phone call.

"This is the phone number of an old friend of mine. Jason, if you encounter any problems that cannot be solved, you can call him and tell him that you were introduced by Old Rock, and he will give you some help."

"He is a very capable man."

"I should be considered half of your peers."

Boss Rock said and handed the note in his hand to Jason.

Silver-7-201, Tetsuya Shimura.

0200-775327, Caobi.

The handwriting on the note is clear. The former should be a seller of second-hand TVs, while the latter...

Grass wall?

What kind of weird last name is this?

There was astonishment in Jason's eyes.

Boss Rock was shocked when he saw this.

"Kusabi-ryu is a very powerful Onmyoji family."

"This friend of mine comes from that family, but he left the family for some reasons."

"But he is a very good person and very strong."

The old man explained

"Um."

"Thanks."

Jason nodded and expressed his gratitude.

"I wish I could help you."

"I'm going back for a lunch break."

"As you get older, your energy can no longer keep up."

The old man who had not slept all night stood up, stretched his waist, waved to the busy Hui Lijing with a smile, and left the cafe with the sound of wind chimes in front of the door.

Half an hour after Boss Rock left, the food was served by Hui Lijing.

It's a piece of fried pork.

The sliced ​​meat is fried until golden brown, and shredded cabbage is placed on the side and gathered into a ball shape.

Three hash browns were stacked next to the cabbage, with a doll flag on top.

On the other side, there is one portion each of honey mustard sauce, ketchup, salad dressing and barbecue sauce. The four portions of sauce are placed on the other side of the barbecue in the shape of petals.

It fits well with... the look of a children's meal.

This was Jason's first reaction.

Of course, the portion is much larger than the children's meal.

smell?

It was beyond Jason's imagination.

"I used ice water to remove the acid, and then rinsed it with salt water."

"It's a pity that the time was too short."

"Otherwise, it can be more delicious."

Hui Lijing, who is a chef, said this.

Jason had already picked up the fried meat and started dipping it in four kinds of sauces.

The sweet, sour, and salty flavors are fully reflected in the four sauces.

Especially the honey mustard, it does not have the spicy taste as expected, but has a sweet and unique fragrance. Jason likes it very much. If it is paired with a little ketchup, it will be really delicious.

I tried the barbecue sauce alone. After eating it, Jason narrowed his eyes.

The natural salad dressing of shredded cabbage was mixed evenly, and Jason stuffed it into his mouth with just a chopstick.

It is crispy in the mouth and quickly dilutes the greasy taste of the freshly fried meat.

"good."

After Jason finished eating them all, he praised like this.

"Of course."

"I'm a female detective who dreams of becoming a barista."

"Would you like to try the military food I cooked next time?"

Hui Lijing asked.

"good."

Jason nodded directly.

He never refuses food.

Especially when recommended by a chef who has already made pretty good food, he will not refuse.

Of course, Jason didn't forget business.

"Shimura Tetsuya, do you know this name?"

Jason asked.

"What about the 'cursed videotape' just now?"

"You want to borrow my detective circle?"

Although Hui Lijing was upright, she was not a fool, and she immediately understood what Jason was thinking.

"Um."

"Using the name of detective to solve these strange cases is more powerful for us."

Jason said.

Although Hui Lijing didn't know the meaning of Jason's words, it was part of the deal between them - she assisted Jason in solving these strange cases, and Jason taught her 'mysterious knowledge'.

"Hold on."

"I'll contact and ask the others."

"With so many people dead, someone will definitely pay attention."

After Hui Lijing finished speaking, she walked back to the bar, took out a phone book and started looking for the phone.

Jason looked forward.

[Swallowing ‘raccoon dog essence’ (miscellaneous)]

[Physical strength, energy, and injuries are moderately recovered!]

[Satiety +20]

【Satiety: 718】



"Raccoon spirit?"

Jason looked at this term with confusion in his eyes.

The 'mysterious side' of the dungeon world in front of him was obviously very different from the 'mysterious side' he had come into contact with before, although the knowledge, skills, and secret techniques could be used universally.

However, he lacks a lot of 'common sense' knowledge.

Subconsciously, Jason thought of his subordinate Tsuchimikado Gen.

The other party was an Onmyoji, so he naturally had no shortage of such knowledge.

Just contacting me now...may very well affect the original plan.

That……

Jason's eyes couldn't help but look at the other phone number left by Boss Rock.

Grass wall?

Jason immediately shook his head.

He is not familiar with the other party.

If you call rashly to ask for some knowledge, you will most likely be rejected.

It may even arouse the other party's disgust.

Jason would not want to see the well-intentioned rock boss involved.

"So, we can only take it one step at a time."

"Collect privately?"

"or……"

"More direct?"

Jason narrowed his eyes slightly as he thought about it.

When the 'raccoon spirit' came to his door in the form of Modo, Jason would not think it was a coincidence.

It's most likely a test!

Perhaps it was the temptation caused by 'him' before.

It is also possible that he was tempted by the "fear flag" of Tongshou Temple after the "time of encountering the devil".

But no matter what it is, things will never end so simply.

This time the other party failed.

Then the other party should be ready for the next test.

Moreover, the methods will inevitably be very drastic.

Jason doesn't mind taking all the takeaways delivered to his door.

At the same time, he can also find more 'knowledge' from these 'foods'.

Trial knowledge should not be difficult to obtain.

Jason thought so.

Hui Lijing ended the call.

"Shimura Tetsuya's case has related commissions."

"However, it's not Shimura Tetsuya himself, but the younger brother of a deceased person around him."

"I've got the address, do we need to go see him?"

Hui Lijing asked.

"certainly."

Jason stood up and walked outside.

Hui Lijing immediately put on her jacket containing pepper, chili pepper water, lime, pistol, and grenades, followed Jason quickly out of the White Bear Cafe, locked the door, and hung up a sign saying 'The owner is out on business'

After reading the sign, he went straight to his car.

This car is parked at the entrance to the real Domori Town.

Hui Lijing drove back specially in the morning.

As the key was twisted and the car engine roared, Hui Lijing stepped on the accelerator to remove it.

The car quickly disappeared into the noon sun.



Sato held the fried noodles bread bought from the small shop and walked absentmindedly on the path of the school.

He declined the invitation of two friends to have dinner together, and just hid in a secluded corner, eating bread bit by bit.

However, the usually delicious fried noodles bread was tasteless to Sato at this time.

His eyes were looking straight ahead without focus, and he put the bread into his mouth mechanically.

"Why did my brother die for no reason?"

"What does Shimura Tetsuya's words mean?"

"Did he kill his brother?"

"Then, you faked everything?"

"Why can't those detectives find the evidence?"

"Is Shimura Tetsuya so capable?"

Sato recalled information about Shimura Tetsuya.

He and his brother are both members of the "Summer Seminar (Ghost Story)".

Tetsuya Shimura is the president.

My brother is a member of the club.

The relationship between the two parties is average. According to the elder brother, they can only be regarded as ordinary friends. Moreover, Tetsuya Shimura seems to be very gloomy and he doesn't like it very much. It's just that the elder brother likes those scary urban legends, so he joins them.

"Hello!"

The voice coming from behind startled Sato, who was thinking about it. When he turned around and saw the person calling him, Tetsuya Shimura, the bread in Sato's hand almost fell to the ground.

"Do you want to know the cause of your brother's death?"

"Come to the club activity room with me."

"As long as I pass the test, I will tell you everything."

Tetsuya Shimura had a gloomy face and muttered very fast.

Then, without waiting for Sato to answer, he turned around and left.

Sato was stunned.

Then he chased after him.

His idea is simple.

Everyone was in school, and even if Shimura Tetsuya was a murderer, he wouldn't dare to do anything.

He will definitely be fine.
