The night grew deeper, and the aura of gloom spread across the earth.
The cold and silent construction site was devoid of any light, with the gray-white exterior walls of the building giving one a chilling sensation akin to a tomb.
Staring at the trail of gloom stirring between the buildings, Ito Tatsushi's expression remained indifferent as he let out a disdainful sneer.
"Just a mere vengeful spirit."
"How hard can it be to deal with?"
"If it weren't for my lack of money to buy Spirit Talismans, I would've exorcised it long ago; would that brat from Asakusa have had the chance to step in?"—Ito Tatsushi had scolded Chief Inspector Suzuki like this a few hours ago.
But Chief Inspector Suzuki merely chuckled.
Not only did he pull out a heap of free Spirit Talismans for him, but he also promised that if he assisted that kid from Asakusa in uncovering the mastermind behind the incident, he could apply for a 'Public Spirit' reward of one million yen.
One million yen?
