Truth is everywhere within range

The name of the suicide test is Takashi Inoue.

I have been working at Gray Hat Software for seven years. I am approaching 30 and I don’t have a girlfriend yet.

Every day, Mr. Inoue Takashi comes to work at nine o'clock on time and gets off work at six o'clock.

Never work overtime and never leave fatigue and stress until the next day.

The doctor said he was healthy except for being a little obese.

That's why.

At 9:30 the next day, colleagues discovered that Inoue Takashi had not arrived at the company and had not contacted him to ask for leave.

After ruling out the option of him finding a girlfriend, I gave him a call.

No one heard.

A colleague who lives nearby went directly to his home.

Only then did he discover that Inoue Taka had committed suicide.

Fortunately, Inoue Takashi is not dead.

He chose hanging, the most common method of suicide in Japan.

However, Mr. Inoue misjudged the toughness of the cloth.

with your own weight.

The hanging cloth was broken midway.

Inoue Takashi fell down.

Hit his head and fainted.

By the way, I fell and broke a leg.

Although it can't be said to be gratifying, it is still possible to save one's life.

The police questioned Inoue Takashi, but Inoue Takashi did not remember his suicide.

After making the filing, the police left.

Several enthusiastic colleagues went to the hospital to visit Inoue that afternoon.

Among them is Shinnosuke Arai.

They were communicating, and Inoue Takashi mentioned the BOSS.

Of course, this is not to say that Inoue Takashi still cares about work even if he is hospitalized;

That night, he seemed to have a dream.

In the dream, the clown was still chasing him.

When he came to his senses, he had already been carried into the hospital.

Others are still teasing Inoue Taka, maybe it is because he is playing games and has a psychological shadow.

But no one thought that the next day, that is, yesterday.

Another tester was found to have committed suicide in his home.

The same is hanging.

However, the colleague lived with his girlfriend.

His girlfriend saved him just in time.

Due to experiencing supernatural events.

After asking about the situation at the hospital, Shinnosuke Arai discovered that the two suicides had something in common.

They all hanged themselves. They all dreamed of the clown in the game the night before and were chased by him.

They also failed to defeat the clown BOSS who seemed to have a bug.

He felt that this might be caused by something strange.

Then, Shinnosuke Arai suddenly thought of something.

That is he also played the beta version this morning.

Defeated by the clown BOSS.

"But, at least, Mr. Arai did not commit suicide."

Qiao Qiao looked at the information and said to himself.

After he learned about this, he asked Mr. Arai to submit a commission to the Spiritualist Association and at the same time asked the receptionist to find a colleague to perform a simple purification on Mr. Arai.

According to the receptionist lady.

Indeed, I found a faint trace of resentment in Mr. Arai.

It does seem to be a supernatural event.

Originally, Qiao Qiao felt that the matter was a bit serious and asked Mr. Arai to directly find other spiritual exterminators in the association.

But Mr. Arai rejected the proposal.

Maybe he wasn't worried about other spiritual masters.

Anyway.

Weekend morning.

Qiao Qiao rode his motorcycle to Gray Hat Software in Nakano District, Tokyo.

This is a small four-story office building, with stairs connecting each floor visible from the outside.

The signboard of Gray Hat Software hangs on the first floor.

Today is Saturday, and at the same time due to supernatural events happening in the company.

So employees are at home during the holidays.

Only Shinnosuke Arai, president Kunio Owada and others were waiting for Qiao Qiao's arrival in the company.

Ariko Asano also arrived ten minutes later.

Maybe I don't want to be too public.

This time I didn’t take her family’s black limousine.

But he came by taxi.

As expected of the apprentice shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine.

So rich.

Qiao Qiao sighed secretly.

"Sorry, I was delayed for some time on the road. I'm really sorry, teacher."

Perhaps knowing that she was a little late, Asano Ariko bowed deeply to Qiao Qiao as soon as she got off the car.

She wore a red and white shirt, loose trousers, and sneakers.

On the back of the head, a ponytail was tied with sandalwood paper.

Very youthful looking.

"teacher?"

Shinnosuke Arai looked at the girl in front of him who was obviously a junior high school student.

Look at Qiao Qiao again.

I seem to understand something.

I didn’t expect that the master also had this hobby.

"This is Ariko Asano, the shrine maiden of Atsuta Shrine. For some reasons, she will exorcise spirits with me."

Qiao Qiao introduced.

When he heard the name of Atsuta Shrine, President Owada, whose temples had turned white, suddenly brightened up.

"Atsuta Shrine, that's a big shrine."

Compared with Qiaoqiao, the name of Atsuta Shrine is still more famous.

If it weren't for the fact that Shinnosuke Arai was the only one in the company who had experienced supernatural events and strongly recommended Qiao Qiao.

President Owada may also spend money to find a large shrine to remove spirits.

After all, this is a big issue related to the future of the company.

"I'm just the teacher's assistant. Compared to the teacher, I'm still very immature."

Ariko Asano stood half a body behind Qiao Qiao very sensibly.

After hearing Asano Ariko's words, President Owada looked Qiao Qiao up and down again.

Since the shrine maidens of Atsuta Shrine have said so, this young man should be pretty good.

He invited the two of them to the reception room.

Let’s briefly introduce the situation that is not mentioned in the information.

Gray Hat Software was founded ten years ago as a company selling hardware.

Because of his exposure to video games, President Owada began to transform the company into a gaming company.

In the past ten years, many games have been produced, and sales have gradually increased.

"Horrorland" is currently a game produced by Gray Hat Software, and most of the company's funds have been invested in this game.

Originally, the game was scheduled to be released this winter.

But now, due to supernatural events.

This sale may be postponed, or in more serious cases, it may be aborted.

If the game is difficult to produce.

Then gray hat software cannot use more funds to develop the next work.

The entire company could collapse.

Employees are displaced.

Of course, President Owada can also suppress this matter.

Release games on time.

Maybe there will be a surge in game sales due to supernatural events and urban legends.

But President Owada is a man of conscience.

After he learned that there was a problem with the game, he immediately stopped all production and sealed the master tapes of the game.

Wait for Qiao Qiao to come.

"Games should be something that brings happiness to people. I will not allow such problems to occur in the games I make."

After President Owada introduced the situation, he added another sentence.

"really."

Qiao Qiao understands President Owada's mood very well.

The president really likes games.

That is why the game cannot be allowed to be tainted.

"That's the game gone wrong."

President Owada brought the two of them to the office of the testing department.

There are more than a dozen boxes of game discs stacked here.

According to the president, these are all the burned game discs, which are used for testing and feedback by various departments.

Next to it, there is an FTP server.

It contains all the company's information.

Qiao Qiao was about to check it out.

Ariko Asano suddenly spoke.

"Teacher, I have an idea."

she said.

"I checked the information before. There is something called EMP, which can completely destroy electronic equipment in just a few seconds."

"If this resentful spirit really lives in the game, then find a way to give it a shot, and the resentful spirit will also be wiped out."

"Isn't this method convenient and fast?"

"?"

Qiao Qiao looked at Miko Asano with a question mark on his head.

The president and Shinnosuke Arai on the side listened and looked livid.

"Wait a minute, Miko Asano, I'm not that devoid of common sense."

Qiao Qiao glanced at the server.

Although the method Asano Miko said, Qiao Qiao did consider it when reading the information.

But after understanding the importance of this game to gray hat software, Qiao Qiao felt that he couldn't do that.

If these data are destroyed.

So what is the difference between Qiao Qiao and Wraith?

Looking at Ariko Asano who said these words seriously.

Qiao Qiao suddenly felt.

Miko Asano's thoughts are very dangerous!

I got the rat girl, happy~
