Chapter 399 Cat Shadow
There are many urban legends in the island country, but there are not many suitable destinations. First of all, you definitely can’t go to those that are too dangerous.
Although the gods are merciful, they distribute according to work. Without sufficient dedication, the divine power obtained will not be enough for Aiba Mio to ignore all dangers. Therefore, he must avoid places that are too dangerous to avoid losing his life.
However, you cannot choose a target that is too easy to kill, because it will not generate enough attention if it is too easy to solve.
"The urban legend this time is, Highway Granny." Aiba Misaki, who was dressed as a magical girl, put on a cat-ear helmet, rode on her small pedal covered with two-dimensional stickers, and waved the magic wand in front of the camera with full of energy, just like a cute version of the headless senior. Naturally, there were cheers of "Magical Girl Competition" in the live broadcast room, and at the same time, some people were posting information about Highway Granny.
The characteristic of the highway grandma is that she runs fast and generally does not cause any harm to people. Occasionally, she causes a car accident because the driver is frightened. She is also well-known, which is why Aiba Mio chose her.
Riding the scooter all the way to the tunnel entrance where someone was said to have witnessed the high-speed grandma, Aiba Mio hesitated. Not only because the tunnel entrance was blocked by a cordon, but also because it was occupied by a group of bikers.
The island nation's bikers originated from the place where the little boy was born. In order to vent their emotions, a group of Showa men rode modified motorcycles and started their street-blasting journey. Later, it gradually formed a trend and was very popular in the 1970s and 1980s. Unfortunately, the glorious era of the bikers has long passed, just like those aging Showa men, they have become lifeless. But after all, they were glorious, so they still attracted some young people to join.
There are two types of bikers. One is the literary bikers, who simply like to modify motorcycles and chase the passion in the speed. Generally speaking, these people are older and richer, and most of them have serious jobs and lives, so they just ride sports cars and show off, and rarely take the initiative to cause trouble.
The other type is naturally Wu Zuo. This group is younger, and most of them are minors. They often become the reserve forces of certain violent gangs. It will be very troublesome if they are provoked, because they know very well how useful their underage status is. That's why Aiba Mio hesitated.
No one knew what these bikers were doing. They were shouting and throwing a cat tied up with tape into a gasoline barrel. No one knew where they caught it from.
As for why they caught these cats, it was easy to guess from their evil smiles and the gasoline barrels placed beside them. This made Aiba Mio frown, and there was a lot of cursing in the live broadcast room.
"A magical girl will not ignore such evil behavior, not to mention that the Ghost Gate Master is protecting me." Aiba Misao immediately realized that this was an opportunity, so he parked the car, picked up the magic wand, and after making a classic move of a magical girl, he spoke to the camera in a righteous tone.
It is a big trouble for ordinary people to offend these bikers, because they have the law as their amulet. Even if they become perpetrators, they are a vulnerable group in law, making it difficult for the police to take effective measures against them, which also contributes to their arrogance.
Moreover, they all have a lot of free time and their bottom line is very low. Harassment alone can cause a normal family to fall apart.
A family needs to work, go to school, and live, and is already facing all kinds of pressure. Once this is disrupted and cannot be resolved for a long time, it is only a matter of time before it collapses. This is why most ordinary people are reluctant to provoke them.
There is no way, this is the society of the island nation.
But Aiba Misao is different. He has an uncle who is a police captain and is about to be promoted. Even if his identity is exposed, he will help him deal with this small problem.
These biker gangs who act arrogantly in front of ordinary people are at best the reserve of the real violent gangs. Aiba Misao's uncle only needs one phone call, and both sides will laugh it off, and the matter will be over. What else can a bunch of insignificant little people want to do?
As for Aiba Misao's own safety, if he can't even beat a few bikers, what urban legends can he explore, and how can he become a qualified apostle of the gods? With Aiba Misao's words, the live broadcast room suddenly became chaotic. Some asked him to call the police, and some asked him to run away. Only a few people who still remembered how he knocked over the slit-mouthed woman with a stick advised him to use less force. Of course, there was no shortage of cat lovers cheering for him, completely ignoring what would happen to Aiba Misao if he fell into the hands of a group of lawless bikers.
Whether it was good intention or bad intention, the lively live broadcast room and the ever-increasing number of people made Aiba Misao achieve his goal.
For Aiba Misao, it doesn't matter whether the target is an urban legend or not. His main task is to arouse the heat and use the opportunity to promote the belief in Guimen Shangren.
Just as Aiba Misao, who was wearing a helmet, took a deep breath and was about to rush forward, he saw a strange shadow extending from the tunnel, sneaking around and trying to enter the shadows of those biker gangs.
"I got you!" The biker gang leader with a crew cut laughed triumphantly, then pressed the switch in his hand.
The seemingly randomly placed motorcycles lit up their modified headlights one after another, forming a cage of light that trapped the black shadow in the open space, and only then could they see what the black shadow was.
"Cat Shadow Man." Aiba Misao, who had been collecting information about urban legends recently, immediately recognized what the bikers were trapped by. The people in the live broadcast room also saw it, so there was a lot of discussion about it.
It is said that cat shadow men are transformed from tortured cats. In order to torture and kill cats, one must first trap the agile cats. Therefore, the cats after death remember this point firmly, and their resentment gathers to form shadows. No matter how strong the cage or trap is, it cannot trap the shadow. Only light can stop darkness.
The cat shadow man will take revenge on those who abuse cats at night. This is probably the reason why these bikers try to lure the other party out and trap them with modified car lights, because they are the targets of the cat shadow man's revenge.
At the same time, Aiba Mio also understood why there was a cat shadow man in the tunnel where the highway lady was said to appear. It was probably because the passing drivers mistook the cat shadow man for the highway lady.
The question now is whether Aiba Misaki should continue.
The cat shadow man is the embodiment of the resentment of innocent cats who were tortured and killed. In theory, it is only natural to retaliate against those who abuse cats.
The problem is that he is human, and cat shadow people kill people.
The live broadcast room was also in chaos over this, with everyone arguing that their own arguments were reasonable, causing Aiba Meisheng a terrible headache. If she made any mistake, not only would she lose fans, she might also be cyber-bullied, because the most lacking thing on the Internet is rationality.
"Save the people first, and then hand the cat-shadow man over to the Ghost Gate Master. I believe that the Ghost Gate Master will free the cat-shadow man." Aiba Misao said righteously, looking like a messenger of gods.
From Aiba Misao's promotion, fans in the live broadcast room already know that Guimen Shangren is the god who is in charge of all ghosts and guards the portal, so handing the cat shadow man over to the god is also an option.
In fact, neither Aiba Misaki nor the fans in the live broadcast room have thought about one question, which is how to deal with a shadow.
