Chapter 53: Onmyo-ryo Operations Specialist
“No problem.”
“What do you think?”
“I don’t know.”
“Impossible.”
“That’s hilarious.”
The original head stretched out and elongated, while the remaining four heads, carrying long hair and mucus, wriggled out from within the body.
The five heads first looked at each other, emitting different eerie laughs, then simultaneously turned to gaze at the crowd outside the train.
This grotesque scene made Shangshan Che, standing directly behind her, involuntarily twitch his face,
This ghost looked way too abstract…
Moments later, two black stars appeared above the heads of the five JK heads, instantly dispelling Shangshan Che’s backstab thought.
Because without using Kaga Kiyomitsu, he probably couldn’t chop off all five heads in a short time, and if he took out Kaga Kiyomitsu, it would directly expose him in front of Kitano Runa.
The train’s stopping time was only a few minutes; getting entangled then would be more loss than gain.
In the few seconds while Shangshan Che was weighing the pros and cons, a pot-bellied middle-aged man slowly walked out from the thick fog not far away.
The man wore tattered suit, with a stiff smile plastered on his face.
Similarly, two stars appeared above his head.
——【Sumida River High School Dean（Two-Star）】
With Shangshan Che’s eyesight, he could naturally see that behind the thick fog stood an abandoned, dilapidated school.
A crooked road sign still hung by the roadside, with 【Sumida River High School】 written on it.
“These guys can fend for themselves.”
At this point, Shangshan Che didn’t even step out of the train door—two Two-Star demons could easily pin him down and kill him on the roadside.
“G-Ghost, ghost!”
The Auntie who ran the fastest screamed in terror, collapsing to the ground, her mobile phone scared out of her hand and dropping to the floor.
She tried to crawl toward the train, but as soon as she turned her head, she met the ten eyes of the five JK heads.
“Ah—!”
The Auntie shrieked, then fainted directly on the road.
But the evil spirit filled with grudge wouldn’t care if she was dead or alive; the Dean let out a creepy low laugh and directly grabbed her ankle, lifting her up.
Then, bit by bit, it swallowed the unconscious Auntie whole, causing its originally shriveled belly to swell and burst the bottom of the suit, dangling in mid-air like a stomach sack.
The remaining students, seeing this scene, also let out terrified screams one after another, staggering away like headless flies in all directions.
Among them, the female high school student who screamed the loudest actually ran toward the eerie Sumida River school; two seconds after her figure disappeared, she let out a shrill scream.
Shangshan Che remained unmoved.
He thought that if someone ran toward the train, he could still lend a hand to block these five JK heads.
Even now, with the five JK heads excitedly leaving the train doorway to hunt for food, still no one ran toward this path to survival.
These people were really stupid to the extreme.
Better go back and sit down—
At the instant this thought arose in Shangshan Che’s mind, his peripheral vision caught the afterimage of a girl’s ponytail.
“—Run into the train! Everyone!”
It was Hattori Ayako.
She unhesitatingly stepped out of the train doorway and charged toward Miyamoto Ryo, who was slumped on the ground with both his face and crotch soiled.
Save as many as possible!
Hattori Ayako seized the gap while the five JK heads looked elsewhere and reached out her hand to him: “Miyamoto! Grab my hand!”
At this moment, in Miyamoto Ryo’s eyes, Hattori Ayako, who usually clashed with him, seemed like an angel descending, nearly moving him to tears.
But such a commotion, how could the five JK heads not hear it.
“That’s hilarious.”
One of her heads instantly elongated, revealing an extremely ferocious smile as it sped toward Hattori Ayako.
“Hattori—”
Miyamoto Ryo’s eyes widened, veins bulging, wanting to warn Hattori Ayako who had just grasped his hand.
But how could an ordinary person’s reaction be faster than a Two-Star demon?
By the time Hattori Ayako turned her head in shock, that eerily laughing JK head was already locking eyes with her, inches away.
But instead of being scared back, she trembled and gritted her teeth, trying to grab the head and neck with both hands: “Miyamoto! Run!”
Miyamoto Ryo scrambled back toward the train, but that head had already touched the clothes on Hattori Ayako’s abdomen.
Her death was all but certain.
A helpless sigh rang out.
“Sigh…”
Boom!
Air exploded with a bang, and muscular bluish-black five fingers clamped tightly onto the JK’s neck, making it emit a hoarse scream.
The hood and Fox Mask slowly slid off, revealing Hannya’s indifferent smile: “Classmate, want to try the latest outdoor asphyxiation play?”
The four heads originally extending toward the surroundings all turned back at once, but upon seeing Hannya’s true face, they froze in intense shock, motionless.
Shangshan Che noticed this detail— so this was the so-called “Ghost God’s Might.”
A passive skill, pretty good.
Thus, Hattori Ayako, who looked toward him, was naturally also stiff all over, until Shangshan Che coldly said: “Why aren’t you leaving yet?”
Only then did Hattori Ayako gratefully withdraw her gaze and quickly run back into the train.
“Hmm… anyone else outside?”
Shangshan Che looked around and found that the remaining people were either already dead on the spot or had all been squeezed into that Dean’s stomach sack.
So, there was no reason to stay outside anymore.
He smiled at the JK whose ten eyes were filled with venomous grudge, and a cleaver appeared out of thin air in his hand: “Classmate, see you another day.”
With that, the cleaver slashed down fiercely!
To Shangshan Che’s surprise, the somewhat dull cleaver effortlessly severed the neck as thick as an ordinary person’s calf.
The effect of this “Greed, Anger, Ignorance” was unexpectedly good.
Shangshan Che raised an eyebrow, then heard the shrill roar of the five heads… no, now four heads of the JK.
“This is bad, get on the train quick.”
The JK’s neck couldn’t extend faster than Shangshan Che’s pace, so she could only watch helplessly as he entered the train, then began raging impotently.
“Sure enough, can’t make a move within the train’s range, huh? Is this a rule?” Shangshan Che pondered. “Or is this train itself an unparalleled powerful supernatural phenomenon?”
This guess had no answer for now, but in contrast, Shangshan Che noticed that the number of passengers in the train changed to “2” after the five JK heads got off.
Moreover, before he returned, this number was still “1”.
“In other words, only supernatural phenomena and demons count as passengers inside the train.”
Shangshan Che looked up and found everyone’s gazes focused on his face—more precisely, on the Hannya Mask.
Gratitude, fear, curiosity… and various other emotions.
But Shangshan Che couldn’t be bothered to care, because the sated Dean outside was walking toward the train, apparently wanting to board as well.
This was an unstable factor…
Hattori Ayako by the door said: “We can’t let that monster on the train! He’ll eat…”
“Let the guy outside board.”
At this moment, someone interrupted her.
Shangshan Che turned his head and saw the girl sitting in the corner, eyes closed, gripping a slender cane, speak up:
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Hannya.”
Her words were polite, yet inexplicably sent a chill down Shangshan Che’s spine,
“—I’m Onmyo-ryo Two-Star Operations Specialist, Kujo Tsubaki.”
