Chapter 034. Highway of Death
Outside of Tokyo.
on the highway.
Kazuo Oshima, the truck driver, was driving.
β...... But I like him so much, what should I do? β
"I've learned about the difficulties this listener has encountered......"
There was a late-night emotional show on the radio.
Kazuo Oshima turned up his voice slightly.
Even in Tokyo, the highway at 12 a.m. is deserted.
Although the lights are bright, it also makes people feel a little uneasy.
After all, this is a truly weird world.
And their own goods, more or less, have something to do with "that" world.
Kazuo Oshima is almost thirty-five this year, and due to years of night driving, he works three shifts.
His body is not as good as it used to be.
I was about to change careers after running these orders and go to open a snack bar or something.
It was late at night.
Kazuo Oshima went to the toilet at the gas station, smoked a cigarette, and was about to return to the car when he noticed a child next to the door.
"What for?"
Looking closer, Kazuo Oshima realized that the boy was trying to loosen the valve core of his front wheel.
"Slightlyβ"
The little boy grimaced when he saw that he had been discovered.
He fled.
Didn't give Kazuo Oshima a chance to seize the lesson.
"Whose child?"
Kazuo Oshima looked around, and the child was long gone.
Maybe it's a child from someone nearby.
He checked the tires and there was nothing wrong with them.
After scolding a few words into the air, Kazuo Oshima got into the car and continued to drive forward.
It was an unexpectedly quiet stretch of the road.
You can't even hear the insects.
Kazuo Oshima drove intently.
Suddenly.
"Uncle, let's play a game."
From the co-pilot's seat, a childish child's voice came.
Kazuo Oshima was startled and looked to the side.
Nothing.
Illusion?
Kazuo Oshima turned his gaze back to the front.
I saw a child running out of the side of the road.
"Grass!"
Kazuo Oshima only had time to curse, and he tried to hit the steering wheel to get around.
But the whole car seemed to be out of his control.
The screeching of brakes resounded through the sky.
Bang β
The truck broke through the guardrail and crashed into the nearby woodland.
Kazuo Oshima's face was covered in blood, and he was confused.
He saw a little boy.
It's the one I just saw at the gas station.
"Uncle, let's play a game."
The boy grinned.
......
in the room.
Qiao Qiao was sitting in front of the computer.
Suzu β
There was a clear ringing on the computer.
This is the ringtone of the Kagura bell that Ariko Asano helped record.
"It's a professional recording studio, and the sound quality is very good."
Qiao Qiao said with emotion.
He's working on this ringtone with audio editing software.
I made it into a ringtone.
Qiao Qiao's idea was simple.
If this bell really has the effect of driving away evil spirits.
Well, spread the word.
Find mobile phone manufacturers such as O, Apple O, and Three O.
Authorize them to set it as their default ringtone.
Then, with every phone call, a resentful spirit may disappear.
The midnight bell is no longer scary.
Is it possible to make a small contribution to this society?
Of course.
The premise of all this is that the bell can really cause effective damage to the spirits.
Qiao Qiao couldn't experiment.
Since the commission of Gray Hat Software, Qiao Qiao has not had time to undertake the commission for the time being.
Because of the midterm exams.
End of April.
Minejo University High School held a midterm test.
After the test, go straight to the Golden Week holiday.
Qiao Qiao is a soul slayer though.
But it's also a high school student.
Studying for exams is a natural responsibility.
He had to do it properly.
To know.
It is precisely because of Qiao Qiao's outstanding grades that when he needs to take temporary leave in the event of a soul removal incident, the head teacher will readily agree.
So, he needs to be refreshed.
After two days of exams.
Originally, Qiao Qiao was going to celebrate the end of the exam tonight.
But helplessly, Miss Sakura didn't have any entrustment from the resentful spirit.
Qiao Qiao could only go home alone and carry out the previous project.
However, the two-hour study was not completely fruitless.
At least Qiao Qiao found that the ringtones of Kagura Bells, after recording, also have the effect of refreshing people and relieving fatigue.
In that case, it must have a certain effect on the spirits.
At this time, Qiao Qiao's mobile phone vibrated several times.
[Akira β Kira]: Teacher, is there a plan for removing spirits during Golden Week?
[Yariko β Kira]: That said, I'm actually going to travel abroad with my family tomorrow, so I can't observe and learn~
[Yariko β Kira]: Teacher, you should have a good rest during the holidays, you can't be too tired~
The Asano shrine maiden is really full of energy.
Qiao Qiao looked at the three Line messages in a row.
Meantime.
I thought about the fact that Asano Shrine Maiden has been broadcasting live almost every night lately.
Well.
Qiao Qiao didn't stare at it.
It's just that the software has pushes.
Every night at ten o'clock.
Dingββ
"The [Alice-chan's Soul Removal Classroom] you subscribed to is now on the air."
Ring on time.
However, the Asano shrine maiden will be broadcast on time before twelve o'clock every day.
Although Qiao Qiao felt.
It's better not to interfere with other people's practice.
But for the sake of Asano's shrine maiden's future studies.
He mentioned it anyway.
[Qiao Qiao]: Hmm.
[Qiao Qiao]: You are now in your third year of junior high school, is it okay to study? Don't let your practice delay your studies.
After a minute, Ariko Asano replied.
[Ariko β Kira]: Teacher, what is this...... Worried about me?
didn't wait for Qiao Qiao to read it, and drilled out a few more messages.
[Ariko β Kira]: Thank you for your concern, but it's okay~
[Ariko β Kira]: I have already obtained the recommended admission qualification for the high school affiliated to Minejo University~
[Yariko β Kira]: From next spring, I'll be the teacher's younger sister
Recommended Admission Qualifications.
That is, escort.
The average deviation of the high school affiliated to Minejo University is seventy-five.
Even if you remove the weird related, it's a pretty good high school.
I want to get the escort qualification.
Difficult.
I didn't expect Asano Shrine Maiden to be a top student too?
Qiao Qiao suddenly felt that he was a good dish.
Look at the Asano shrine maiden.
In addition to the spirit of first-class technology, open-minded and studious, and proficient in games, live broadcast can make money, and the results are excellent.
And you.
Nothing but being handsome.
I'm not ashamed.
There is no shame in losing people.
Qiao Qiao suddenly felt a pang of shame.
After a hasty reply, he put down his phone.
Continue to edit the audio of Kagura Bell well.
Even if you can't get rid of spirits.
It's also good to be a lullaby.
It really didn't work, and it was later adapted into the background music of radio gymnastics.
Played at a fixed point every day.
It's sure to make the students fall in love with.
Late at night.
Twelve.
Qiao Qiao prepares for bed.
On nights without work.
Qiao Qiao will go to bed at this point.
Soon fell asleep.
Don't leave fatigue and stress for the next day.
But.
Today, there is some restlessness.
As a person with spiritual powers.
Restlessness is certainly not a delusion.
Qiao Qiao sat up.
The next moment.
The phone vibrated a little.
It's not Asano Riko.
It's the boss.
[Boss]: Qiao Jun, are you free during the day tomorrow?
Since it has already been shown that it has been read.
Qiao Qiao couldn't pretend not to see it.
Of course, Qiao Qiao is generally very concerned about the boss's affairs.
So he replied immediately.
[Qiao Qiao]: I don't have any other arrangements for tomorrow, what's wrong?
[Boss]: I have a friend here who is in trouble and needs a soul slayer to come to the scene.
[Boss]: But unfortunately, I have to go to Kyushu tomorrow to attend the class reunion, can you go and see the situation for me?
[Boss]: If you want to be paid, I'll give it to you here later.
[Qiao Qiao]: No problem.
Qiao Qiao replied.
The boss usually helps Qiao Qiao so much, but now he can do a favor and don't bother.
Soon, Qiao Qiao received the information and some contact information from the boss.
"Highway?"
Qiao Qiao frowned slightly when he saw the unfamiliar location.
