Chapter 230: Chapter 191: Circling Screams (4000 words)_2

Imadekawa Kotaro did not childishly request that Beichuan Si take Mamoru Ito’s body; over the course of a night, he had grown up quite a bit and also become much more silent.

He didn’t ask about the origin of Beichuan Si’s special abilities nor did he speak much else.

He looked the same, but seemed to have lost his soul.

Imadekawa Chika glanced at her silently following brother, then looked at Beichuan Si.

The innocent and lively girl couldn’t detect her brother’s change. She turned her head, curiously asking, "Brother Beichuan, what are we going to do next?"

"Find some things," Beichuan Si answered briefly.

"Find things?" Imadekawa Chika tilted her head in confusion.

Facing her question, Beichuan Si nodded, "On the surface, this looks like Yuchuan Elementary School, but actually, it’s just a spiritual realm at its core. Once the avenging spirits that support this realm are dealt with, the souls of the deceased will be liberated, and the spiritual realm will collapse and vanish. At that time, you will be able to leave."

"Spiritual realm...?" Imadekawa Kotaro’s eyes, void of life, lifted, "Are there other spirits here? Like the child from earlier?"

"To my knowledge, there should still be three," Beichuan Si did not hide the information.

The more one knew about these matters, the easier it was to survive.

Imadekawa Kotaro softly ’mmmh’ed and then said, "Aside from myself, there’s actually another person... his name is Aikawa Youma."

"That person is already dead."

Beichuan Si casually declared the death of a person.

This made Imadekawa Kotaro tilt his head in confusion, asking in a surprised tone, "Dead? How do you know he’s dead?"

"Kelian."

Beichuan Si pointed towards his collar.

Only then did Imadekawa Kotaro see a puppet face poking out from his collar.

The puppet had patches of various colors, its mouth stitched into an ’X’ shape. From a distance, it almost seemed like one could see a soul in those shiny button-like eyes.

Under the gaze of Imadekawa Kotaro and Imadekawa Chika, the puppet even stretched out its hand and waved at them, as if greeting them.

"This..."

Imadekawa Kotaro felt his brain struggling to keep up. After a while, he cautiously asked, "Is this your shishen, Mr. Beichuan?"

"Don’t call me Beichuan Mage."

Beichuan Si’s voice dropped several degrees.

His eyes carried a warning, "Any other title is fine, but do not call me Beichuan Mage."

Imadekawa Kotaro stepped back, distress showing on his face, he observed Beichuan Si for a long while before he said, "Mr. Beichuan?"

Although Beichuan Si was about the same height as he, it was clear that the other was just a high school student, so calling him ’Mr.’ should not be too disrespectful.

"Right." Beichuan Si continued walking forward and explained further, "Kelian can detect the presence of living beings within a certain range. In such a spiritual realm, she is even more in her element. According to what she just informed me, aside from you all, there should be no other survivors in Yuchuan Elementary School now. Of course, I cannot be sure that no one else will perform the game of ’Four-Man Hide and Seek’ and enter this spiritual realm during this time."

The game of ’Four-Man Hide and Seek’...

Imadekawa Kotaro clenched his fists.

After all, it was curiosity that had led to this tragedy.

He didn’t even know how he would explain himself to the parents of Aikawa Youma and Mamoru Ito.

Especially since he was now covered in blood—of course, the police wouldn’t just let him go.

Imadekawa Kotaro sighed heavily.

But Beichuan Si didn’t care about him.

What happened after he was saved was beyond Beichuan Si’s consideration.

If Beichuan Si wasn’t mistaken, the moment the spiritual realm collapsed, Imadekawa Kotaro and Imadekawa Chika would be sent back to their original location, and he himself would appear in Yuchuan Town.

So everything was irrelevant to him.

As Beichuan Si pondered these matters, the previously silent Shinra Bell suddenly began to tremble violently!

The crisp ringing of the bell was the signal for Hazawa Tuoye’s resentful spirit, torn and tattered, to emerge from the ceiling and Iida Yuji’s resentful spirit to drill out of the wooden floor. Meanwhile, the classroom door on the other side burst open, hurling forth a stinking, rotten figure drenched in moisture... It was Seto Sosuke, whose spiritual body Beichuan Si had dispersed three days prior!

These three child spirits charged directly at Beichuan Si, their small faces wearing sinister and brutal smiles.

From the ceiling, Hazawa Tuoye swung a firefighter’s axe at Beichuan Si’s head while Iida Yuji aimed a rusty paper cutter at Beichuan Si’s Achilles tendon. Meanwhile, Seto Sosuke went straight for Beichuan Si’s throat with both hands!

These three child spirits had gained a wisdom for cooperation under the nourishment of the spiritual realm.

But with the reminder from the Shinra Bell, Beichuan Si had already positioned himself ready.

With a misstep, he stomped on Iida Yuji’s head and simultaneously, his right hand flashed the Kendou dagger, slicing horizontally at the descending firefighter’s axe, while the remaining Seto Sosuke was blocked by a pale gold aura unleashed by Nishijou Kurenai.

Elsewhere, Imadekawa Kouta had already reacted, picking up his sister and running to a relatively safe location.

Their hearts were beating wildly.

After all, if Beichuan Si were to lose, they, too, would perish here.

The firefighter’s axe was split by the starkly sharp Kendou dagger, Iida Yuji’s head was crushed in by the stomp, and Seto Sosuke was entangled by Nishijou Kurenai.

Beichuan Si performed a rolling maneuver to dodge another attack from Hazawa Tuoye and simultaneously grabbed Iida Yuji’s spiritual neck with his other hand, the pitch-black aura of death erupting and pulling him out of the wooden floor.

Death’s dark tendrils tugged the Kendou dagger spinning back, slicing across Iida Yuji’s neck in passing.

Iida Yuji struggled, his small hand clutching a paper cutter aiming for Beichuan Si’s eyes. Beichuan Si simply clapped his hands together, and the Kendou in his grasp shimmered, reopening the wound on Iida Yuji’s neck. Death erupted once more—

Iida Yuji’s head soared high.

And due to the nature of the Spiritual Dagger Technique’s spirit-erasing property, the sliced edge at his neck was laden with death’s aura, unable to merge back together completely.

His headless body could only twitch endlessly on the ground.

One down!

A glint of cold light in Beichuan Si’s eyes, he grabbed Hazawa Tuoye, his dagger plunging directly into his abdomen.

Hazawa Tuoye emitted a piercing scream, the remaining half of the firefighter’s axe blade swinging at Beichuan Si’s head.

Beichuan Si ducked low, kicked at Hazawa Tuoye’s knee joint, and as his entire spiritual body lost balance and fell, he grabbed the small collar with both hands, twisted his wrists, and with the force going through, hurled the broken body heavily against the wall!

Bang!!!!!

Spiderweb-like cracks emerged on the wall as Beichuan Si pressed down on the frenziedly struggling Hazawa Tuoye, the cunning Kendou brushing past his neck.

The second one!

Beichuan Si stepped on Hazawa Tuoye’s head and lunged at the last one, Seto Sosuke.

Seto Sosuke.

As the first victim who drowned, he naturally possessed strength greater than the other four spirits.

Even so, he hadn’t reached the level of a medium-grade spirit.

After all, a significant portion of the grudges gathered by these five spirits was in the possession of Yuchuan Elementary School’s spiritual realm; they possessed abilities like moving through walls, congregating, and strong resistance to physical strikes, yet they somewhat lacked in aggressive capabilities.

As long as Beichuan Si grasped this point, he could handle them one by one.

The last Seto Sosuke took some time for Beichuan Si, but not too long.

Three headless child spirits lay neatly in front of Beichuan Si.

The heads fallen aside bore expressions thick with reluctance and resentment.

Regarding this, Beichuan Si simply pulled out the Kendou dagger, turning back to give a reminder:

"Cover your sister’s eyes."

"Ah? Okay..."

Imadekawa Kouta paused for a moment then vigorously nodded, covering his sister’s eyes tightly.

The muffled sounds rang out again!

The screams of the spirits echoed and circled over Yuchuan Elementary School—
