Journey to the heavens starting from Tokyo Ghost Story

Chapter 16 Fear is the oldest human emotion.

"Cough, that..."

Immediately afterwards, the two reacted at the same time, and Si Ye took a step back.

But the squid man was beyond his expectation, more frightened than him, fiddling with his tentacles in a panic.

Under his astonished gaze, the squid man stared at him nervously, pleading all over his face, and even closed his hands.

"Can you please not tell this?"

"?"

When I put a question mark, it's not that I have a problem, but that I feel that you have a problem.

Si Ye stared blankly at the squid man whose attitude had changed, and forgot even to run away for a while.

"Please!"

Seeing that Si Ye didn't respond, the squid man thought he was hesitating, so he saluted respectfully and cried.

"If it gets out, my job will be gone."

"Work... work?"

Si Ye grasped something important, and looked at the sincere squid man in astonishment.

"Yes!" The squid man nodded again and again, with a timid expression on his face, but he didn't dare to reveal anything about his work, so he could only beg in his heart full of prayers...

Si Ye moved his eyes and touched his chin.

At this time, the people in the association seemed to hear the voice from outside.

Under the squid man's apparent panic and bewilderment, a voice came from inside.

"Hashimoto, what happened?"

Then, a young woman in a red dress came out.

"It's nothing." Seeing the woman, the squid man called "Hashimoto" immediately restrained himself, and opened his mouth in a panic, "I'm just..."

"Oh~"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a woman who saw the scene clearly.

The woman pushed up her glasses and glanced at the trembling Hashimoto.

"Leave it to me to deal with it, you go to work first."

"……Yes!"

In this era, Neon has already had a tendency for subordinates to obey the orders of their superiors unconditionally.

Although Hashimoto was trembling in his heart, he bowed superficially and grabbed the umbrella and walked into the darkness that could swallow people.

Si Ye looked at his back thoughtfully.

"come in!"

The woman looked indifferent, as if it wasn't the first time she had dealt with such a thing.

She glanced at Si Ye, then turned around with folded arms.

Si Ye paused at the back, looked away from the bridge itself, and thought for a moment to keep up.

The two entered the house together.

The house looks a bit small from the outside, but it has a different world inside.

"Superstition, Conspiracy, Cosmos, Weird..."

Si Ye's eyes turned, and he took in all the arrangements of the association at a glance, with an expression of interest on his face.

Although it is similar to the fantasy in my mind.

but……

No matter how you look at it, this place seems to be just a gathering place of interests, which is completely different from that kind of shelter.

"Your Urban Legend Association is really interesting."

Si Ye followed the woman, and his eyes stopped for a while on those members who were on night shift.

All the way to the woman's office.

Watching the woman pour the coffee, Si Ye's eyes rolled, revealing a trace of curiosity.

"However, I'm a little curious, why do you send people out to pretend to be urban legends to scare people at midnight?"

That's right, Si Ye already fully understood what was going on at this moment.

but……

"It doesn't seem to be of any benefit to you, does it?"

This era is not like the future.

Moreover, the current network has not yet been fully developed and is in its infancy. It is impossible to replicate the operations of shaping topics and harvesting traffic in later generations.

Therefore, Si Ye was very curious about the significance of their pretending to be an urban legend.

It's not a small amount of work after all.

For the sake of interests and hobbies, organized and disciplined team building is completely worthless and thankless.

"This is with you..."

The coffee was poured, and the woman put it in front of Si Ye with a blank expression, and when she was about to spit out the words "It doesn't matter, you don't need to know", her eyes stopped on his face with a faint smile.

In an instant, the woman was as stunned as the others before.

Because it was too dark just now, she didn't see Si Ye's true face.

now……

The moment she saw it, Bomu Meisa's mind went blank, she froze, and even forgot what she wanted to say, so she could only stare blankly.

Until... "What with me?"

Bomu Meisa came back to her senses, seeing Si Ye's face with a little playfulness, her heart skipped a beat, and she hurriedly avoided her gaze.

"It's nothing."

She left Si Ye a back view, her heart beating.

A certain indescribable special feeling welled up in her heart, and she couldn't help but tucked a strand of hair from her sideburns behind her ears, adjusted her makeup, and her voice was much gentler.

"It's a secret and cannot be told to outsiders."

"certainly……"

Before Siye could answer, Bomu Meisa tried her best to suppress the throbbing in her heart and correct her attitude, and then added a sentence.

"If you join us and become a member of the Urban Legend Association, then I have nothing to hide."

"But……"

Si Ye showed a distressed expression.

"If you don't tell me the truth inside, how can I be interested and decide to join you?!"

After all, Si Ye was troubled on the surface, but felt disgusted in his heart.

Damn, I am really becoming more and more like that perverted Fu Jiang.

But having said that, this ability is really useful.

"This one……"

Bomu Meisha seemed to be emotionally drawn all the time, and hesitated a little.

The truth of the Urban Legend Association is a huge secret, from top to bottom, even the work is not allowed to be leaked.

Even my own family can't know.

It's like being a spy.

Not to mention outsiders.

As the president, if you know the law and break the law...

but……

Bomu Meisha, who wanted to refuse, couldn't bear to say these words the moment she saw Si Ye, for fear of disappointing Si Ye.

Even, a crazy cry of "tell him", "tell him" frequently appeared in her mind...

Amidst the shouting, her consciousness gradually became trance, she forgot what her original purpose was, and instinctively hesitated.

In the end... Desire overcame reason and reality...

"The "Urban Legend Association" is a very secret organization established by the government during the period of rapid urban development and development."

"The purpose is to restore people's fear of the dark world as much as possible."

Well, to put it bluntly, is it just looking for excitement?
Listening to Bomu Meisha's answer, Si Ye, who was a little speechless, complained silently in his heart.

He thought it was an ulterior secret.

The result is this?

It's really... tsk.

But looking back, it seems that this is indeed a way to deal with it.

In this era, the Internet has not yet prevailed, and neon is in a state of high development. If there is no low-level entertainment and high-level entertainment equipped, it seems that the society will gradually become empty.

And emptiness will affect people's self-motivation and hard work.

It is also well known that fear is the oldest human emotion.

Although human beings have an instinctive resistance to "fear" things and things, they also have a strong curiosity at the same time.
