Chapter 288: Chapter 220. Progress (Achieving the 8000-word Goal)

Summoning Ceremony.

Beichuan Si generally would not take the initiative to play such games, it was only at specific times like now that he would actively partake in this kind of ritual.

"Hey, do we really have to go?" Seki Naoya and Ikegami Keito shivered involuntarily as they looked at the text message on their phones.

The content of the message was simple—

’Regarding the Summoning Ceremony at Mirror Apartment, I want to ask you guys about it. Wait for me at the school gate after class.’

The sender was Demon King.

That was Beichuan Demon King!

"Do you think we have a choice?" Seki Naoya covered his face and responded helplessly.

"....." Ikegami Kazuki.

Well, he really hadn’t considered that.

Because it was the Beichuan Demon King who had called them, they never had a chance to resist from the very start.

Both exchanged a look and, after a deep sigh, could only resign themselves to their fate for now.

Actually, Beichuan Demon King was also their rescuer, they should have been more respectful toward him, but all they could dream of last night was Beichuan Si swinging a steel pipe around.

The resentful howls of restless spirits and their gruesome fates left them feeling a bone-chilling cold.

They even felt they were starting to develop a psychological shadow when facing Beichuan Si.

The afternoon classes passed by quickly.

After all, Kyubei High School only had two periods in the afternoon.

Yet, Seki Naoya and Ikegami Keito had never wished so much for the classes to drag on slower.

But no matter how much they prayed, the time that was supposed to come would still come.

"Brother Beichuan!"

From afar, they saw Beichuan Si standing at the school gate holding his bag, and then they ran over feigning happiness.

In fact, they were deliberately dragging their feet, hoping to see if Beichuan Si would go home alone.

But clearly, their last hope was in vain.

"Did I keep you waiting, Brother Beichuan?" Ikegami Keito nervously asked.

Beichuan Si shook his head and replied, "I just arrived."

Then he said,

"Let’s go."

Saying this, Beichuan Si turned and walked away.

Seki Naoya and Ikegami Keito hurriedly followed him.

According to the requirements of "Mirror Apartment" tale, they needed to find an abandoned apartment, but luckily, the Nagaya Apartments they used yesterday would work, so Beichuan Si needn’t trouble himself to find another abandoned building.

The three of them boarded the tram to the Taitung District; on the tram, Seki Naoya and Ikegami Keito asked, "Brother Beichuan, you want to know the exact method for conducting the Summoning Ceremony at Mirror Apartment, right?"

"That’s right, and that’s why I called you over."

"Then, since that’s the case, the two of us don’t need to go, do we? Naoya and I have some other things to do." Ikegami Keito cleared his throat and looked away guiltily: "Seki and I can fully inform you of the specific steps, and you can go by yourself."

Hmm?

Beichuan Si seemed to have reacted to something, lifting his head thoughtfully: "You guys... seem to be quite afraid of me?"

Hearing this, Seki Naoya and Ikegami Keito’s faces instinctively changed color, and they began to quiver, their voices trembling even more.

"No, not at all! How could we possibly be afraid of such a kind and amiable Brother Beichuan!?"

"Is that so?" Beichuan Si continued: "Well then, since that’s the case, you two should join me for another trip into the spiritual realm."

Uhh—

As soon as these words were spoken, Seki Naoya and the others didn’t just quiver, they nearly fell to their knees.

"I’m kidding." Beichuan Si averted his gaze.

Not to mention there was no reason to take Seki Naoya and the others with him; even if he did, they would only get in the way.

Since that was the case, it was better for him to venture into the spiritual realm alone.

"It’s just a joke, that’s good."

Seki Naoya and Ikegami Keito nearly had their hearts leap out of their chests.

The tram rattled along toward Taitung District, carrying the three of them with their own thoughts.

After nearly fifteen minutes, they arrived in the Taitung District.

Beichuan Si didn’t rush to the Nagaya Apartments they visited yesterday.

He decided to have dinner first before checking things out.

Because according to Seki Naoya and Ikegami Keito, the ceremony had to be held around seven or eight o’clock.

With some time still before seven or eight o’clock, it was better to have a meal first.

After dining, the evening slowly descended.

Beichuan Si took out his phone and glanced at the time.

It was currently a little over seven forty; it wouldn’t take long to walk there from here, and it should meet the conditions for the ceremony.

The three of them re-entered the long house.

Seki Naoya and Ikegami Keito were a bit scared, sticking close to Beichuan Si, afraid that some kind of demon or ghost might leap out from the dilapidated building.

In contrast to their fright, Beichuan Si walked ahead fearlessly with large strides.

The three found an empty room and began the preparations.

In the center, a small round mirror was placed, surrounded by scattered candles.

The flickering flames of the white candles carried an ominous and eerie feeling.

"Next, Brother Beichuan, you just sit down and look into the mirror, then you can see another world inside the mirror... Just like that, yesterday, we suddenly entered."

Seki Naoya explained as simply as possible from behind Beichuan Si.

After listening, Beichuan Si sat on the wooden floor without a word.

His dark eyes slowly peered into the mirror.

It seemed as if there was some strange noise in the air, as if someone was breaking twigs beneath the first floor, producing a crisp sound.
