The end of the summer vacation is approaching.

In fast food restaurants and family restaurants, you can see students gathering everywhere for reading clubs and making up for homework.

All kinds of private schools and cram schools have not relaxed, after all, the end of the year is a variety of entrance tests.

In a café in Shinjuku Ward on a hot summer day, Riko Asano, wearing a red and white T-shirt and cropped pants, gently put down her coffee cup.

"I already have a general idea of the situation."

Asako Asano glanced at the information in her hand and said

Sitting across from her was a late 20-year-old man with short hair with oblique bangs, a hip-hop oversized shirt and jeans.

"That's great, I've been haunted by this spirit lately, and I can't work well at all."

The man said in a flirtatious tone, his eyes glancing at Asano's chest from time to time.

"Anyway, the name of the Asano shrine maiden is very similar to a virtual anchor I know, you know, Asano Alice, the character is also a shrine maiden."

"Really?"

Asano didn't raise her head, and used a pen to record some thoughts on the information file.

"The Asano shrine maiden is very cute, why don't we go for a drink after the spirit removal is over, I know a lot of good restaurants."

The man said in a pick-up tone.

"The relevant situation...... Unfortunately, upon investigation, this is not an ordinary ghost, and it cannot be eliminated simply by using exorcism or spirit removal techniques. ”

Ariko Asano ignored the other party's words and explained.

"What do you mean?"

The man froze.

"It's a wraith from the internet, a memetic type of weirdness that is almost impossible to get rid of with conventional means."

Asako Asano paused, then continued.

"But on the other hand, as long as the conditions for cracking can be met, and there is no need for a soul eliminator to do it, the problem will be solved."

"What do you mean?"

The man leaned forward.

"It's very simple, you only need to use the identity of the avatar, sincerely apologize to Baimei Louise on the Internet, and immediately stop the persecution of other virtual anchors, and the problem can be solved."

"All the resentment of this resentful spirit arises from this, and if it can be dissolved, it will naturally dissipate."

"It's a very simple thing, Mr. Paper Mingyue, or rather, the virtual anchor OZ San."

Asako Asano looked up.

Sitting in front of her is a virtual anchor, that is, an anchor who performs in a holster.

Paper Mingyue, twenty-nine years old, the virtual image on the Internet is a mature man, the name is UZ, in addition to simple games, miscellaneous live broadcasts, a considerable part of his live broadcast is aimed at some hot events and people spray.

Because he entered the industry very early and has the live broadcast experience of Niconico, he has a wide range of connections and has mastered a lot of unknown information.

It is said that when she had not yet become a virtual anchor, Paper Mingyue had relied on exposing the black material of other anchors and the subsequent cyberbullying that caused an anchor to commit suicide, but there is no substantial evidence to prove this matter, and the laws of the country also lack effective legislative protection for cases of harm caused by cyberbullying.

But it is such a virtual anchor, who is inexplicably still very popular, and is even called OZ Emperor in some anonymous forums.

About the paper Narutsuki, Asano Yariko didn't know much before.

After all, relying on spraying and digging black materials, although it can attract some black fans of other anchors, it has no hard power after all, and it is difficult to become popular.

That all changed in April of this year.

At that time, Paper Mingyue posted a message on Twitter, claiming that she owned a virtual anchor who was popular at the time, the black material of Baimei Louise, and even involved some extreme personal privacy.

At first, the two were-for-tat, but later, with the increasing excavation of the sunspots of White Plum Louise, the home address of the person in White Plum Louise was finally directly exposed.

Attacks on the web quickly turn into offline harassment.

In this case, Baimei Louise announced her graduation and quit the live broadcast circle at the hottest time.

A week later, the man in Louise was found guilty of suicide in his house.

Even if you jump out of the circle of virtual anchors, this is an extremely bad incident.

However, when everyone was sad for Baimei Louise, Paper Mingyue gained a large number of fans and traffic, and became a famous virtual anchor.

seems to have tasted the sweetness of this, and Paper Mingyue began to call herself the anchor of the revelations.

Since May, I have been online with several virtual anchors one after another, but it has not had much impact.

Beginning in mid-August, Paper Mingyue began to persecute a rookie virtual anchor, but unexpectedly encountered the online ghost of Baimei Louise.

As urban legend suggests, the avatar of Louise Bloom will suddenly appear in the live broadcast room, sometimes just silent, sometimes speaking fragmented words.

And Paper Mingyue suffered more intrusions, and even in his dreams, this image would appear.

In addition, various related anonymous forums have also targeted paper Mingyue, and some people have begun to doxx him, such as the previous experience on Niconico, which was revealed by some people.

So Paper Narutsuki thought that the resentful spirit of the person in the White Plum Louise was entangled with her innocent self, and found the Soul Killer Association, and this commission happened to be assigned to Asako Asano, who had just returned from Hawaii for a day.

After investigating the residence of Paper Narutsuki and the place she frequents, Asano Riko did not find a resentful spirit.

After thinking about it, she came to the previous conclusion.

It's not so much the resentment of Baimei Louise, but the resentment of netizens who are hovering on the Internet.

The resentment of the fans who used to like Baimei Louise in the past, the resentment of those anchors who were once persecuted by Paper Mingyue, and even the resentment of the victims who used to be cyberbullied in other capacities in the past and finally chose to commit suicide.

It is these resentments that create the resentment of White Plum Louise.

If Paper Mingyue can sincerely apologize and reform herself, although these resentments will not disappear immediately, they will gradually weaken after all.

But if he continues...... Asako Asano can't guarantee the safety of Paper Narutsuki.

The ghosts that roam the Internet cannot be eliminated by physical means.

If the teacher was here, what would he do?

Ariko Asano pondered.

"What are you kidding, Asano shrine maiden, and let me apologize?"

Paper Mingyue sneered.

"I didn't do anything wrong, wasn't it because they had black material that they were attacked?"

"In the final analysis, those third-tier voice actors, outdated idols, and even guys who have dated several boys want to become virtual idols with stars and moons if they want to put on a two-dimensional skin, how can this world be so simple?"

"If you want to blame, you can only blame them for not being able to completely erase their past."

"If I apologize like that, do you know what my fans will think, and how will I continue to be a streamer in the future? Can we afford to compensate for this loss? ”

"If all of you are like this, then I don't think there's any need to look for them."

He stood up and left with great displeasure.

"How do I report to the association......

Asano Ariko frowned and looked at the report in her hand.
