I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Hiss——

At this moment, Sasaki finally tore open a corner of the thing wrapped in the talisman paper.

"Oh, I got it!"

Seeing the progress, the wellhead in front of him sat down again curiously and swallowed silently.

As the weak ancient hardened talisman was uncovered by Sasaki, the expressions of both of them gradually became nervous and serious.

The talisman paper wrapping the contents became thinner and thinner. Just when all the talisman paper was about to be unveiled, a harsh buzzer suddenly sounded from Sasaki's pocket.

The sudden appearance of such an alarm sound in a quiet environment startled the two of them. Sasaki also yelled, his hands shook in fright, and things fell on the table with a crash.

"what is this?!"

He gently held the supernatural object that almost rolled off the table. The talisman paper on it still had the last one or two thin layers. Lying together with the large circle of talisman paper that was removed.

Taking out the thing that sounded the piercing alarm in his pocket, Sasaki discovered that it was the flashlight Cheng Rang had given him as an apology three days ago.

The bottom of the black integrated flashlight was flashing a red warning light at high speed and emitting a loud beeping alarm.

Sasaki hurriedly pressed the button on the flashlight.

"How do you close this thing!?"

But it seems that apart from the switch to turn the flashlight on and off, there is nothing else to press.

"It's okay if it keeps beeping... just remove the battery." Iguchi pointed to the threads at the bottom of the flashlight, indicating to Sasaki that he could remove the battery, so it will definitely stop ringing.

"makes sense."

Sasaki responded by twisting the place at the bottom of the flashlight that is usually the battery cover.

There was a soft click, and Sasaki realized that what he had unscrewed was not the battery cover...but another set of switches.

The thinner half-cylinder pops up as the bottom cover is unscrewed. There are three small buttons on the cylinder, and the bottom is marked with [Mute], [ATK MOD] and [DEF MOD] in English.

"Mute...this should be mute." As a high school student, he could still understand such vocabulary. Sasaki pressed the mute button, and sure enough, the flashlight no longer sounded the piercing buzzer alarm.

"But why does this thing have two other modes? What are the words ATK and DEF?"

"According to the standards of video games, ATK is generally for attack, and DEF is for defense." Iguchi analyzed matter-of-factly, holding his chin.

"Attack and defense mode? Use it on the flashlight... You really know how to joke-"

As soon as Sasaki finished speaking, the candle that had been burning steadily on the table suddenly went out, and the activity room was instantly enveloped in darkness.

"Eh? Candle..."

boom!

Suddenly, the tabletop made a loud noise as if it was being hit by something, and it vibrated.

This frightened the two people in the darkness again.

Shuddering, Sasaki quickly turned on the flashlight in his hand, and instantly a dazzling white light beam pierced the darkness and illuminated the desk in front of him.

Under the wide-eyed gaze of the two people, the pile of talismans illuminated by the white light beam of the flashlight, and the things wrapped in the talismans emitted a hissing sound that seemed to be boiling.

Not long after, black smoke suddenly erupted from the talisman.

"Ugh! It's burning. Get some water!"

"Where is the water in the activity room coming from now?"

"Is the flashlight too hot?"

"No, it's ice cold... There's no sign of burning on the desk."

Phew—the talisman suddenly sublimated with the flashlight light, and only a few seconds passed from when black smoke emitted to dissipating into ashes without a trace.

"Yeah, the burn is gone!"

"what is that?"

A brown-black cone lay quietly in the center of the table, glowing a burning red under the illumination of the flashlight.

The two of them looked closer.

"....finger?"

Just as the two people at the spiritual seminar were focusing on their fingers on the table, ripples appeared on the ceiling above their heads, and a cursed spirit with eyeballs all over its body and twisted arms emerged from it, moving towards the person in front of them. The "prey" nearby showed its claws.

Chapter 11 A flashlight that can be used as a lightsaber?

The oncoming car lights quickly passed by the three of them, and the night road, which was not silent at all, was filled with a chilling atmosphere.

"Can the talisman paper be opened casually?" Polygonum Stick asked as he ran.

"No, humans without magic power can't do it... Generally speaking, that's the case."

Before reaching the intersection, the knotweed reminded: "Go to the right and take a shortcut!"

Although the three of them were traveling very fast, it still took at least ten minutes to get from the hospital to the school. Cheng Rang followed him and slowed down in order to accommodate Hu Zhi, while Hu Zhi followed Fushihei.

"The content this time is too powerful, and the seal has been aged for a long time, just like a piece of paper."

"But hearing what you said about the curse, I still can't imagine what it is..."

"where are they?"

"Fourth floor!"

Looking up from the winding road, you can already see Shanzawa No. 3 High School sitting on the mountainside.

Cheng Rang said in a deep voice: "There are no lights at all in the teaching building... It's different from before."

As soon as he finished speaking, a strong sense of foreboding erupted like a tide, violently frightening the Japanese knotweed's running footsteps.

"What's this pressure about?"

"You stay here." Fushiguro said to the tiger stick in a commanding tone, and then crossed the fence at the back gate of the school.

"I'm going too. Isn't it dangerous? Although I have known them not long ago, they are my friends and I can't ignore them."

"Ichimo's hot blood is useless, Hisuhito, that's not a being you can fight with."

Fushiguro's figure had disappeared under the night. Huzhang turned around and asked Cheng Rang who stopped him: "Then you can't just ignore him, right?"

"Ordinary people without the power of the curse can't even see the curse, and the curse can only be destroyed with a curse. If you go there, you will only cause trouble for Fushiguro, right?"

"Can't I...see?"

"Yes, based on my observations in the past few days, I can't see it at all." Cheng Rang smiled proudly and put his hand on Hu Zhi's shoulder, "But...except for special circumstances."

Hezhuang stared at the smiling black eyes in front of him in shock, and swallowed.

.....

Teaching building: fourth floor

The door with the signboard of the Psychic Phenomena Research Association had completely detached from the door frame and was lying twisted on the cold floor, as if it had been bent by a huge force.

Heavy footsteps came from the dark corridor, hitting Sasaki's nerves like a heavy hammer that was so tense that it was about to break.

"What time is it now?"

Sasaki covered his mouth tightly with his hands and huddled in the corner. Sasaki's eyes trembled as he was almost smashed into pieces by the monster and the table.

"The short hand points to eleven o'clock..."

A sad and distorted voice passed by, and then the outline of the thing could be vaguely seen in the hazy moonlight outside the corridor. He didn't know what it was, but the only thing Sasaki was sure of was that it was definitely not a human being.

But...a monster.

When he was attacked by the monster, it was Iguchi who was the first to notice that something was wrong. After pushing him away, the two of them ran away in panic. Now he is the only one left hiding here...

Sasaki fumbled for the items in the pocket of her skirt. The only thing around her now was this strange flashlight... The red and black fingers seemed to have been taken away by the wellhead.

No matter how you think about it, these sudden appearance of monsters are inseparable from that weird finger... All weird things happened after that.

drop--

The flashlight that had been muted before suddenly sounded the alarm again, just at this dangerous moment of hiding!

Sasaki felt extremely regretful at this moment. If she had known this, she would have thrown away the flashlight!

"What time is it now?"

Just as he had time to put his hand into his pocket, Sasaki turned around in horror and realized that the monster's terrifying face with teeth and eyeballs was close at hand.

"...ah..."

The pressure as if his throat was being strangled hard made Sasaki lose his voice at this moment, and his legs became weak and he suddenly fell back.

Sit down on the ground.

"Tell me what time it is..."

The monster that was approaching step by step compressed the remaining space bit by bit. Every time its heavy footsteps made a sticky slapping sound on the ground, Sasaki's fragile heart beat hard.

The only hard and cold "weapon" in his hand is the flashlight that is still ticking.

[By the way, this flashlight can capture vengeful spirits! 】

[According to the standards of video games, ATK is generally for attack, and DEF is for defense. 】

Sasaki's back had hit the cold wall, and she was already in a helpless and helpless situation.

The girl gritted her teeth, whipped out the flashlight in her pocket and pointed it at the charging monster.

"Whatever, give it to me and it will help!"

drop!

As one of the buttons is pressed, the alarm light turns blue and a mechanically synthesized sound comes from the buzzer:

[Current mode: Impact beam mode, please ensure the area ahead is clear and do not aim at friendly forces. 】

Boo--Crack!

The flashlight glass lens switched instantly with the sound of gears snapping. Sasaki, who was holding it tightly, immediately felt that the originally cold metal barrel in his hand was heating up...

Then, a silent blue beam suddenly shot out from the flashlight, piercing the monster's body on the spot like piercing tofu with chopsticks.

This sudden injury made the monster roar back in pain, and a thick black liquid like blood gushes out from the wound penetrated by the light beam and drips all over the ground.

It actually works? !

The thrill and surprise of fighting off the terrifying monster made Sasaki's adrenaline levels soar, and he even forgot his initial fear at this moment.

Pressing the switch again, the scorching blue beam passed through the monster's body, cutting it into several pieces. The squirming flesh gave off an unpleasant smell of burnt rubber.

"Sasaki...?"

The familiar voice of Iguchi came from beside him. Sasaki turned his head in surprise and found that Iguchi was slowly approaching him from the corridor on the other side.

"Jingkou! Great, you run -"

"....help me...."

The girl's voice stopped suddenly. After seeing the approaching figure clearly, she subconsciously took a step back and raised the hot flashlight in her hand to point it at him.

I saw Iguchi's shoulders, waist, calves... and even his head squirming horribly as if they were parasitized by monsters. Behind him, the curse spirit holding him tightly with several arms made a moaning sound. .

Along the way, bright red blood trailed behind Iguchi, who was walking slowly, making Sasaki unable to imagine whether he was still alive...or whether he had been dominated by a monster.

...

"Damn it, the curse has been activated and the aura is still so strong!"

One foot suddenly stepped onto the stair platform, Fushiguro used his arms to push open the wall, and used this force to launch towards the corner of the stairs.

We’re on the fourth floor!

The moment he came out of the stairs, he was greeted by a long and dark corridor, and several curse spirits were wandering in front of him. Fushiguro's sprint speed did not even slow down, and he closed his hands with a snap, making a hand shadow-like gesture.

"Stay out of the way!"

Ten types of shadow spells——

"Jade dog!"

Evil shadows followed, emerging from the darkness, weaving spells with spell power. Two jade dogs, one black and one white, jumped out of the shadows in an instant. They appeared next to Fushiguro with their sharp fangs bared and howling in the sky.
