Chapter 171: 162. These two again?

Beichuan Si and Beichuan Huili had a meal prepared by Shen Gu Mirai after they returned home, and Beichuan Si thanked Shen Gu Mirai several times, promising that if Shen Gu Mirai ever needed anything, he would help no matter what.

However, Shen Gu Mirai just gave a mysterious smile and left.

Beichuan Si saw Shen Gu Mirai off to the station before he went home again.

After he got home, nothing strange happened anymore, and Beichuan Si did not encounter the high school baseball bat urban legend mentioned in the private messages.

This made Beichuan Si even more certain that the damned high school baseball bat urban legend was probably about him.

"It’s pure fiction," Beichuan Si said with some annoyance in his tone.

He had become an urban legend, what was all this about?

After a quick wash, Beichuan Si went straight to bed to rest.

He had some things to investigate tomorrow, so naturally, he needed to sleep early.

...

The next day, Beichuan Si started his day with his regular morning workout and, after finishing, he called Yoshida Ikufu and the others.

Yoshida Ikufu’s respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Brother Beichuan?"

"Have you found Nakamura Ken? It’s been a week or two now," without much hesitation, Beichuan Si asked directly.

"Nakamura Ken?" Yoshida Ikufu seemed like he had been struck by lightning upon hearing this name; he seemed to be struggling to speak clearly, and his voice conveyed an extreme sense of fear:

"Brother, are you still investigating Nakamura Ken?"

Beichuan Si could hear the fear in Yoshida Ikufu’s voice and frowned, "What’s wrong?"

"Brother Beichuan! No one dares to investigate Nakamura Ken anymore, it’s too terrifying."

Yoshida Ikufu was stuttering on the other end, unable to speak clearly for a long time.

Hmm?

It seemed he couldn’t get a clear answer over the phone.

Beichuan Si calmly asked, "Where are you? I’ll come to you."

"Brother Beichuan..."

"Do you think Nakamura Ken is scarier, or am I scarier?" Sensing Yoshida Ikufu’s hesitation, Beichuan Si asked in return.

"Uh..." Yoshida Ikufu instinctively recalled the incident where Beichuan Si single-handedly fought against over fifty of them, and after a couple of coughs, he replied, "I’m at the Cure Café with Naoya."

"Wait for me, I’m on my way."

Beichuan Si left this cold comment on the other end of the phone and hung up, which made Seki Naoya on the other side look at him curiously:

"What’s wrong, Ikufu? Who’s coming over?"

He had been chatting with Changgu Makoto and the others and hadn’t heard who Yoshida Ikufu was talking to.

But Seki Naoya hadn’t expected Yoshida Ikufu to turn to him with a gloomy face and say, "The Demon King is back."

The Demon King?

Not only was Seki Naoya stunned, but even Changgu Makoto on the other side widened his eyes:

"The Demon King... Are you talking about the Beichuan Demon King?"

"Who else could it be?"

Gulp—

Everyone took a deep, cold breath.

Beichuan Si.

Was the Demon King who ruled over this area back?

Who could stand against that?

The delinquents from Jinji High School had been getting along quite well with Seki Naoya’s group lately, and the reason was Beichuan Si.

But neither side probably wanted to see Beichuan Si.

Everyone’s faces were gloomy, as if doomsday had come.

Of course, Nakamura Ken couldn’t be scarier than the Beichuan Demon King.

But not one person dared to run away.

If the Beichuan Demon King found out that some of them had fled, wouldn’t that be asking for death?

About fifteen minutes later, Beichuan Si arrived at the Cure Café.

He found the place quite lively.

Not only were Yoshida Ikufu and Seki Naoya there, but Changgu Makoto and Ikegami Keito were also present.

Beichuan Si sat down, ordered a cup of coffee, and looked up, "Long time no see."

Yoshida Ikufu had dyed his green hair back, which Beichuan Si found pleasing enough not to hit someone without even talking first.

But these few people seemed to have strange expressions after seeing him.

"Brother Beichuan..."

"Give me Nakamura Ken’s contact information or home address, there’s still some time; I can make a trip to see him," Beichuan Si interjected to ask.

Yoshida Ikufu swallowed hard, his face showing difficulty, "Brother Beichuan, I think you probably won’t be able to see Nakamura."

On the side, Seki Naoya was vigorously nodding, "Nakamura has been dead for four days now, and the way he died... It’s all over the news and newspapers, don’t you know, Brother Beichuan?"

Dead for four days? In the news and newspapers?

Beichuan Si really didn’t know about this.

He had just come back from Ibaraki Prefecture and naturally wouldn’t have been keeping up with the news in Tokyo.

And since the incident had made the local news, it must have been very serious.

Beichuan Si turned his gaze toward Changgu Makoto, who was the oldest among them.

Feeling Beichuan Si’s gaze, Changgu Makoto’s face changed, and he put down the coffee cup, "Brother Beichuan, the whole thing is really weird and terrifying... Personally, I still hope you don’t continue to get involved—"

"Do you want to see how I kick and break a leg bone?" Beichuan Si countered.

"Cough, cough, cough— No! Isn’t what I said enough?" Changgu Makoto coughed several times before speaking, "Didn’t we go looking for Nakamura Ken according to your instructions, Brother Beichuan?"

"Actually, during the time you, Brother Beichuan, took leave, Nakamura Ken had already been discovered by the delinquents from Jinji High School... by a friend."

"Nakamura Ken was from out of town, came to study in Tokyo, and lived alone in a small apartment—that’s how it was supposed to be."
