Chapter 51: Supernatural Department
“It turns out we are an acquaintance~” In the activity room, the man with glasses grabbed Heita Inuyama and begged him not to leave and poured him a cup of barley tea.
"Thank you." Heita Inuyama muttered quietly, secretly looking at the activity room.
The activity room is not big, and there are things around it that seem to be related to some supernatural rituals, such as crystal balls, hexagram tablecloths, creepy humanoid dolls, funny civet cat sculptures, etc. , but the atmosphere in the event room is not weird at all. Those strange things are more like random decorations. The style is too complicated, making people feel like they have come to some store that sells souvenirs.
"Ah~ finally someone is here. I almost thought the supernatural department was about to be finished." The man with glasses introduced himself: "My name is Kawasaki Tosaku, a sophomore, the director of the supernatural department. This is our supernatural department." The member of the department, Tanaka Sho, doesn’t like to talk very much, so don’t mind.”
There were only four of them in the room, including Inuyama Heita and Suzuki, the ordinary bespectacled man Kawasaki Tosaku, and Tanaka Sho who was reading a book. When talking about him, Tanaka Sho only raised his head symbolically. Heita Inuyama clicked it, and then continued to read the book. Heita Inuyama looked at the cover and knew that this was the work of a man named Edgar Allan Poe.
Heita Inuyama looked around and asked: "Um...are you two the only ones in this department?"
"What do you mean we are the only two?" Kawasaki Tosaku said in surprise: " Isn't there another one? There's also Suzuki-san. You should be acquaintances, right? Why are you here?"
Suzuki adjusted his glasses and said matter-of-factly: "This is the Supernatural Department. Of course, I am here because I am interested in these supernatural events."
"I believe in this ghost!" Inuyama Heita complained in his heart: "He is obviously a super-firm materialist, right? This guy definitely has another purpose."
Kawasaki clenched his fists excitedly and said: "That's right! This is where paranormal enthusiasts gather in school! Anyone who loves paranormal events can come!"
"But I'm really just here to read a book. Obviously I'm just interested in reading. Interested in supernatural novels?" Tanaka Xiang sighed, he was simply deceived by Kawasaki Tosaku's fabricated reasons.
"Don't make trouble, Tanaka." Kawasaki said dissatisfied.
Heita Inuyama asked: "Are you the only ones here? No one else?"
Kawasaki sighed again: "Originally, there were some, and there were several of them, and they were almost reaching the standard of establishing a ministry. At first, everyone was happily discussing various supernatural events, but slowly, none of them came. Really, are you too cowardly? If this continues, the activity room will be destroyed."
Tanaka was still trying to make trouble: "Isn't the activity organized by you, Minister, too scary? try You don’t know how to play in the Dare Game.”
Kawasaki said angrily: “This is a necessary step to find ghosts! Besides, what’s so scary about the activities I chose? , Ouija board, four-corner game...are these just childish, my real plan has not been implemented yet."
"The problem is..." Tanaka turned the page of the book and said: "You. He specially chooses nights to take people to dark places to do these things, such as abandoned buildings, urban legends, etc., so that everyone knows that the head of the supernatural department is a terrible idiot."
"Damn it. !" Kawasaki said angrily: "Geniuses are always misunderstood by others! I will not be hindered by the shallow eyes of the world. As long as I discover the existence of the soul, the Nobel Prize will be mine!" Bell..." Suzuki took a sip of tea, held the tea cup, and said quietly: "But what if the soul does not exist at all? What if humans have no free will at all, and everything is just a result of changes in chemical reactions in the brain. What about the illusion? Human beings may be just dust in the universe. They are not important, not unique, and have no meaning. They just exist.”
As if hearing extremely terrifying words, Kawasaki asked tremblingly: "You...how can you say such terrifying words! Human...how can a human being not have a soul? Suzuki-san, are you right? Are you interested in supernatural legends?"
Suzuki smiled slightly: "Just kidding, I just said it casually. That's all, I'm still very interested in supernatural legends."
"That's good..." Kawasaki breathed a sigh of relief, covering his chest and said weakly: "Don't tell such scary stories in the future. It will scare people to death."
Tanaka couldn't help but complain: "Who is the supernatural department..."
The corner of Inuyama Heita's mouth twitched: Suzuki-san is indeed an upright materialist, so what on earth is she here for?
Kawasaki recovered after a while. He pushed up his glasses and said excitedly: "Okay! Together with Inuyama-san, now we have a new member of the Supernatural Department! It's really gratifying and congratulatory. , then let us continue the tradition of the Supernatural Department..."
"Wait a moment." Inuyama Heita quickly stopped when he heard this: "I haven't agreed to join yet."
The three of them looked at each other. Turning to him, Suzuki couldn't help but ask: "Then what are you doing here?"
"I..." Inuyama Tainao said: "I have been very interested in urban legends recently. I heard that there are people here. I specialize in this, so I came here to ask if there is any new information on urban legends.”
Kawasaki laughed loudly: "Then you have come to the right place! It is said to be the Supernatural Department, but at the level it is a club, there is no need to submit an application form to the Department, and ah, the tradition of the Supernatural Department I just mentioned is the same as that of the Urban The legend is related.”
“What tradition?” Inuyama Heita asked curiously.
Kawasaki closed the curtains, then lit a candle and turned off the lights. The activity room suddenly fell into darkness, with only the light and shadow of the candle swaying slightly.
"Of course...exchanging information about urban legends." Kawasaki put the candle on the table, his glasses reflecting the candlelight, looking a little mysterious. He explained: "Every day's activity time, the Supernatural Department's Members will share their collected information on urban legends and supernatural events here.”
Heita Inuyama became energetic, this is what he was looking for! So he immediately asked: "So, you know a lot of recent urban legends?"
"Of course!" Kawasaki was very proud, then looked at Suzuki and said: "Just now, Suzuki-san brought us the latest urban legend information, and there is also evidence. Suzuki-san will tell us the whole thing today. Let’s finish it.”
Suzuki Diandian. Her head and face were uncertain under the candlelight. She slowly said: "We mentioned before that among the various emerging religious groups in Tokyo, there is one called the 'Lucky Mutual Aid Society'..."
