Chapter 286: Chapter 219: Dog Food and Strange Tales (4000 words)

After practicing exorcism on Nakajima Michika, Beichuan Si rare made a meal at home and then headed to Kyubei with Beichuan Hui Li.

The morning classes were basically a breeze for Beichuan Si, so he spent the morning half zoning out and half contemplating the "Mirror Apartment" urban legend.

At lunchtime, Beichuan Si sat at his desk, took out his lunch and phone.

Under the somewhat astonished gaze of Shen Gu Mirai, he held his phone in his left hand, seemingly composing something to send. Meanwhile, his right hand was unwrapping his lunch cloth.

It was hard to imagine the ever-focused Beichuan Si multitasking between eating and playing with his phone.

What could have happened?

Shen Gu Mirai took out two small bread rolls and a bottle of milk, and then moved her stool next to Beichuan Si and asked curiously, "Mr. Temple, what are you doing?"

Beichuan Si’s fingers paused, and he glanced over to reply, "Sending some messages."

"Messages?"

Shen Gu Mirai leaned forward with difficulty in her spring grey long-sleeved uniform, her big eyes finally making out the content on the slightly tilted phone screen of Beichuan Si.

Beneath a simple black background were some centrally aligned bold characters.

"Urban Legend Agency."

At a quick glance, there were detailed categories underneath, with some supernatural photos and videos above.

"Urban Legend Agency?!"

Shen Gu Mirai covered her small mouth with surprise, "Mr. Temple, are you the admin of this page?"

"It’s been over two months now," Beichuan Si said, his fingers not stopping as he continued to edit the message.

Shen Gu Mirai didn’t seem too surprised by this response.

After all, the "Urban Legend Agency" forum had only been around for two months.

She knew this so well because she used to be a fan who loved browsing the page and especially liked the genuine feel of the supernatural photos that the admin captured with rudimentary equipment.

Lately, she hadn’t visited the forum for nearly a month or two because she had been helping Beichuan Si...cough cough, because they were friends.

Seeing this familiar forum page and Beichuan Si’s standard admin control panel now got her a tad excited.

It felt like she discovered another little secret about Beichuan Si.

"Mr. Temple, is it really okay to show this directly?" Shen Gu Mirai whispered, tearing open a bread wrapper.

"Not many people will believe it, and even if they do, they’ll just be seen as ordinary fanatics," Beichuan Si said coldly, causing Shen Gu Mirai to look a bit taken aback.

Right, who would have thought that Beichuan Si would take real exorcism experiences and turn them into photo albums, even making little videos?

This truly was thinking outside the box that the most dangerous places are often the safest.

Beichuan Si stopped editing, sending out the notice.

What on earth was Mr. Temple up to?

Shen Gu Mirai took a small bite of the bread, turned around, and took out her phone that had been in her bag, reopening the "Urban Legend Agency" webpage after a hiatus of two months.

Under the original central title, Beichuan Si had added a subheading.

"Recently conducting research on the trending spirit summoning game ’Mirror Apartment.’ If anyone has specific information, please message me."

The overly straightforward notice was characteristic of Beichuan Si’s personality.

"’Mirror Apartment,’ this game?" Shen Gu Mirai squeezed her milk carton and took a deep sip, her black eyes lifted with a bit of astonishment, "Mr. Temple, are you interested in this supernatural game recently? The one from Gunma Prefecture?"

"You know this game originated from Gunma Prefecture?" Beichuan Si took a bite of his food and felt surprised at Shen Gu Mirai’s swift reaction.

Without systematic research, one normally wouldn’t know that the "Mirror Apartment" spirit summoning game came from Gunma Prefecture.

After all, the folder set up by Qianye Yuki was from just one or two weeks ago.

"Um... Just to be prepared," Shen Gu Mirai gently tapped the table with her slender white fingers, with a pink smile on her lips, "Sometimes you even tell me—tell me not to stay up late investigating these things, and I don’t want to waste your energy, Mr. Temple. So, I’ve made it a bit of a habit..."

"If I hear anyone mention a trending supernatural urban legend game, I’d ask about it, then use some time to look into it."

Shen Gu Mirai opened another roll of bread, "The ’Mirror Apartment’ happens to fall within my recent research."

"You’ve taken trouble on my behalf, Mirai," replied Beichuan Si, not expecting Shen Gu Mirai to have done so much for him behind the scenes.

He looked at her directly with a sincere tone as he thanked her, "Thank you."

His voice remained firm, but Shen Gu Mirai, who had collaborated with Beichuan Si multiple times, could keenly sense the gratitude in his tone.

Cough cough—

Shen Gu Mirai feigned a cough to cover up the rising corners of her mouth. Looking at Beichuan Si’s serious demeanor, she decided to tease him a bit and said, "Mr. Temple, this investigation should be compensated."

"That’s understandable," Beichuan Si nodded.

No matter what, Shen Gu Mirai shouldn’t be working for free, Beichuan Si pondered for a moment then countered, "How much do you want?"

Huh?

Shen Gu Mirai scratched her head, not understanding what Beichuan Si was getting at.

"I’m asking, Mirai, how much do you want."

"...How much what?" Shen Gu Mirai opened her mouth, then closed it tightly again. Suddenly grasping what Beichuan Si meant, she said, half-irritated and half-amused, "I don’t want your money, Mr. Temple!"
