When Qiao Qiao went to Gray Hat Software before, the corridors and offices were covered with promotional posters and character boards related to the company's games.

He thought that most game companies were probably like this.

However, Ren Otang is obviously an exception.

In the foreground, apart from a statue of Uncle Ma O, there is nothing that can reflect the culture of the game.

Quite rustic, Qiao Qiao even saw that the picture decoration hanging on the wall was not Pio Qiu but an ordinary cat.

After registering with the staff on duty at the front desk, the two of them came to the second development department.

Even though it was a Saturday, there were still quite a few employees in the company.

In the second development department, Qiao Qiao saw some game-related things.

In addition to NS, Wii and other game consoles in the lounge, there are also game consoles from other console manufacturers, including PS4 and Xbox.

Even Qiao Qiao saw some arcade machines.

The employees here have a lot of entertainment after work.

He sighed.

On the desk, you can also see some character figures, models of game characters.

In the semi-open conference room on the side, there was also a group that seemed to be discussing problems, and when they saw Qiao Qiao and the others, they also smiled and said hello.

"Anyway, it's not the same as I imagined Ren Otang."

Suzuka looked around.

In her opinion, a game company of this scale is probably like gray hat software, full of game posters, and everyone is playing games and working at the same time, which is endlessly fun.

On the other side, Nanase also stopped playing with his phone and looked at the inside of the company.

There are also some regrets.

It's probably the gap between imagination and reality.

"It's because of this rigorous working environment that we can make games that are popular."

Qiao Qiao guessed.

"It's hard to imagine being able to develop a game on a large scale if your employees are immersed in games every day."

Qiao Qiao didn't care about that.

What he felt was wrong was the yin qi in this company.

As soon as he walked into the building, Qiao Qiao's vision began to scan the surroundings.

But it's strange.

The building did not find any yin qi.

It's a strange thing.

As mentioned earlier, yin energy is not completely due to resentful spirits.

Geographical location, environment, and various factors will produce yin qi, which will be deposited and become the soil for the nourishment of resentful spirits.

But in the Ren Otang building, at least where Qiao Qiao saw it at the moment, there was no yin qi.

Here's an example.

Although there will be more bacteria in a messy area, there will actually be bacteria left in the room that has been sprayed with disinfectant, and a small amount of bacteria will not cause serious problems.

But Ren Otang's headquarters is like a sterile laboratory, and there is no trace of yin qi to be found.

With such doubts in mind, Qiao Qiao met Daisuke Miyagi.

"I'm from Sendai, and after graduating, I joined the company and moved to Kyoto."

Daisuke Miyagi was working, and when he saw Qiao Qiao and the others, he stood up.

Well, there is indeed a lot of yin energy in the body.

Qiao Qiao glanced at Nanase again.

"Hayami-san, please confirm."

He said.

Nanase wanted to put another string of complaints on his phone, but after thinking about it, he still didn't do it.

Resolving delegations is a priority.

She turned on her vision and saw that Yin Qi was like slippery tentacles, spreading out from Daisuke Miyagi, trying to reach out to the others.

However, these tentacles are quickly dissolved in the air, making it difficult to endanger others.

"What's going on?"

Nanase tilted his head, very puzzled.

Looking at Qiao Qiao, she tried to find an answer.

"In addition to the spirit, we must first conduct a field investigation to find the source of the yin qi, and I will see the mulberry early, so it is better for you to take a look around here first."

Qiao Qiao didn't tell Nanase the right answer to Hayami.

"Hmm"

Nanase looked around at the early stage, only to realize that on Daisuke Miyagi's desk, there was a strangely shaped figure sculpture?

The top half of the sculpture is as smooth as an octopus's head, the middle part is covered with countless tentacles and several hideous eyes, and the bottom half is a strangely shaped stone.

The whole sculpture gives people a sense of evil, as if just looking at it makes you fall into the abyss.

What's more, this sculpture is entangled with a thick yin qi, and it is intertwined with the yin qi on Daisuke Miyagi's body, tangled, and it is obvious that the source is the same.

Even the newcomer Nanase can see that the yin energy on Daisuke Miyagi's body comes from this sculpture.

So here's the problem.

Why is this sculpture on Mr. Daisuke Miyagi's desk?

Could it be that he is a believer in some evil god?

Is it time to introduce Qiao Qiao and them to his Heavenly Father Cthulhu?

"This, this"

As soon as Nanase spoke, he choked.

It's not that it's a curse, it's that she's really not good at communicating with people in such situations.

Cracking sound.

She typed text on her phone's notepad and pointed the screen at Daisuke Miyagi.

"Huh? Where did you get this statue from? ”

Daisuke Miyagi finished reading Nanase and turned his head to look at the sculpture.

"This fox statue, I found it in the mobile market on the Kamogawa River, I don't know how, I want to buy it as soon as I see it, I remember when I was a child, I also bought a similar one at home, but then I lost it and never saw it again, it's really nostalgic."

He turned his head.

"Any questions?"

"Fox statue?"

Suzuka tilted her head, looking confused.

This is obviously an indescribable statue of an evil god, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the fox, right?

Nanase was also confused, and his mobile phone checked the information on the Internet, but he didn't understand it very well.

Only Qiao Qiao, looking at the statue, quickly had an answer.

"Sure enough, in the eyes of those who have spiritual power and those who don't, this statue looks completely different."

He said.

This is a kind of weirdness with a very low level of information manipulation, or a weak memetic weirdness.

In Daisuke Miyagi's eyes, it's just a cute fox statue that seems to bring good luck.

But in the eyes of a person like Qiao Qiao, who has spiritual power, this is an evil god sculpture.

"Memes?"

Although Nanase didn't quite understand the meaning of the word, he could understand the meaning of Qiao Qiao.

This weirdness was also mentioned in her studies.

Disguised as something else, it's weird to communicate with humans.

And so on.

There is no doubt that the statue is possessed by the wraith, and at the same time has gained some information manipulation ability.

With this ability, it seeks out its host, while camouflaging itself and constantly sucking the host's energy.

This caused Daisuke Miyagi to be tired in the company during the day and active at home at night.

After that, it's pretty straightforward.

As long as the statue is burned and the ashes are sprayed with spiritual water, it is over.

Qiao Qiao didn't even need to let Nanase waste bullets at Hayami.

As for why, this statue and Daisuke Miyagi's yin energy failed to spread in the company.

Qiao Qiao guessed that it was probably because this was Ren Otang.

The place that brings joy to players around the world naturally carries the thoughts of players from all over the world.

In a way, the headquarters of Ren Odo is no different from the shrine in the shrine.

Naturally, there was no room for yin qi to spread.

It can be said that the reason why Daisuke Miyagi is still just pure fatigue is inseparable from the working environment.

This is the end of the incident.

"It's boring."

Suzuka commented on this.

"Isn't there a big mess of the characters who are haunted and need Suzuka to show their powerful game skills to defeat the enemy, or the ghost level in the Mario O's game, and Suzuka uses his ingenuity to attack the bridge?"

"I just simply burned a statue except for a spirit, and I was ashamed of the name of Ren Otang!"

"Why is it so interesting for Qiao San to take that shrine maiden to remove spirits, and the removal of spirits with Suzuka is so simple and boring."

"What strange thing do you imagine Ren Otang to be?"

Qiao Qiao asked rhetorically, and then said.

"That kind of situation should be rare."

At least Qiao Qiao didn't see much.

This kind of ordinary soul removal is the mainstream of commissioning.

Compared with the thrilling and ups and downs of the legendary story, Qiao Qiao has seen more of this kind of small troubles of ordinary people.

But.

"Manipulation of information?"

On the way back to the shrine, Nanase has been struggling with memetic weirdness.

"This is normal, early see, San, modern war, is not so much a war of weapons, but a war of information, and only the side that has the initiative in information can gain the initiative in war."

Qiao Qiao explained seriously.

"It's the same in the process of removing spirits."

"It's not enough for a soul slayer to simply use spiritual power to destroy resentful spirits, now the weirdness has evolved to be able to manipulate information, in other words, you think that the spirit removal has been successful, but in fact, did the resentful spirit just change the form of existence and go into hiding?"

"This"

Nanase suddenly felt a cold wind behind him.

It turned out that the door of the subway was opened, and the cold air of the air conditioner blew in.

"So, if you're interested, I have a case study of this that I can read to you."

"You know, in the modern battlefield, it can be said that the control, attack, and jamming of information are an indispensable part."

"Hayami-san seems to have the corresponding ability, and if he cultivates it well, he may be able to play his role in a variety of different battlefields."

"Also, if Hayami-san is interested in electronic devices and games, there are also combat methods in modern warfare that can control drones and destroy them without having to come into direct contact with the spirits."

Qiao Qiao opened his mouth and said, making Nanase a little tangled.

"It's okay."

He looked at his phone.

Six o'clock in the evening.

After confirming a certain tweet, Qiao Qiao raised his head and said.

"Let's go eat out in the evening, I know a very nice restaurant, you can think about it while eating."

"yes, Suzuka can do it!"

Suzuka is very happy, rather, she doesn't seem to be unhappy.

"Very nice shop?"

Nanase said in confusion.

"Well, the name is"

Qiao Qiao nodded.

"Cat ramen."
