Japan has a population of over 120 million, with over a million deaths each year.
Among these, more than ninety percent of the deceased have a specific cause of death.
But every year, there are still more than fifty thousand people who die unnatural deaths or go missing.
And among these fifty thousand, the cause of death and disappearance for nearly half of them is due to the influence of supernatural forces.
On the way home from school or work, they encounter a passing cursed spirit or youkai and are brutally killed and devoured by them;
During Oumagadoki, that is, the period from when the sun begins to set below the horizon to when it has completely set, this is the time when ordinary people are most likely to intersect with the hidden world.
Some people will briefly activate their Yin-Yang Eyes at this time, see things they shouldn't have seen, and expose their own fear, thus being discovered and killed by those vengeful spirits;
In addition, in the early hours of the morning when the yin energy is at its heaviest, it is also when cursed spirits and youkai are more likely to appear, and when vengeful spirits can more easily influence human consciousness.
Under the influence of these vengeful spirits over the years, some people develop thoughts of suicide or revenge against society, and ultimately walk down a path of no return.
Of course, these are, after all, extremely low-probability events.
The reason why the hidden world is still the hidden world now is because these situations are, after all, in the minority. In a place like Tokyo, besides the garbage dump of Beika Town, the major supernatural forces of the hidden world still maintain a relatively high level of security in other parts of the city.
The appearance of a youkai will have a reaction from youki, and there are also many defensive barriers against youkai within the Tokyo metropolitan area.
Therefore, it is very difficult for any great youkai to appear in a place like Tokyo.
Third and fourth-grade cursed spirits are not likely to cause too much danger.
Vengeful spirits of the second grade and above might only appear once or twice a week on average. By the time the Jujutsu Headquarters dispatches a Jujutsu Sorcerer to deal with them, they generally won't have caused too many casualties.
As for those vengeful spirits that want to influence human consciousness at night, as long as humans can't see them, most of the low and middle-level ones can only act as a catalyst.
It is only when a person first develops pessimistic and angry emotions, and their own will is not firm enough, coupled with the long-term influence of the vengeful spirits, that those cases of suicide and harm to others occur.
Actually, seriously speaking, if it were more than ten years ago, Nanami Kento would have been able to be calmer when encountering a situation like Miyauchi Hikage's.
After all, at that time, the supernatural had just begun to revive. A physique like Miyauchi Hikage's was enough to deal with ninety-nine percent of unexpected situations back then.
But in these ten-plus years, the strength of the entire hidden world has been constantly increasing.
Thirty years ago, you couldn't find a few Jujutsu Sorcerers in the entire Jujutsu world who dared to casually use Domain Expansion.
Twenty years ago, although the young Gojo Satoru had what could be called a miraculous talent, because the supernatural of that era had only just stopped declining, everyone at that time felt sorry for him for being born at the wrong time.
Ten years ago, with the revival of the supernatural, the unshackled Gojo Satoru comprehended the Reverse Cursed Technique on the verge of death, logically becoming the strongest Jujutsu Sorcerer of this era, and allowing Jujutsu Sorcerers to return to the stage after a hundred years.
It seems to have started from Gojo Satoru's nirvana-like rebirth ten years ago that more geniuses and more powerful enemies began to emerge in the hidden world.
Hearing that more and more geniuses were being born, a physique like Miyauchi Hikage's was indeed nothing special.
If he were filming in other parts of Tokyo, it would be fine, but here in Beika Town, his actions were a complete provocation to those vengeful spirits.
Nanami Kento sternly criticized Miyauchi Hikage's behavior.
Of course, he did not mention anything related to the supernatural.
For him, whether it was the Jujutsu world or other supernatural forces, they were all dogshit.
Although the young man in front of him had a talent for cultivation, with his ability to buy a large mansion here at such a young age, he should be using his talents in the surface world, not wasting his life in this increasingly unpredictable hidden world.
He was simply using Beika Town's high crime rate to remind Miyauchi Hikage, stating that Beika Town was very unsafe at night.
And the videos they filmed could also cause discomfort to the residents of Beika Town at any time, and could even cause panic within the town.
If it were to cause other viewers to imitate and result in some accident, he, as the earliest blogger to film this kind of video, would also need to bear some responsibility.
In short, he said it as seriously as he could. Anyway, all rights of interpretation were on his side.
Miyauchi Hikage had not expected Nanami Kento to be able to come up with so many reasons to stop him in such a short period of time.
Actually, seriously speaking, he didn't really care what he filmed in the future now.
After all, because of Shiina Mashiro, Miyauchi Hikage, who had originally planned to reveal his disguised identity bit by bit, was now completely "exposed" in the eyes of those girls.
A male passerby supporting character who had already been exposed and had also been observed by multiple diary-holding girls. This identity was already enough for him to use for a long time.
In fact, even the identity of a descendant of the Demon Slayer Corps, which he had planned for a long time, was not so important now.
Because Shiina Mashiro had already said in the chat group that she would teach the simplified version of ripple breathing to her friends.
So the current Miyauchi Hikage really had no pressure at all and could completely use the abilities of Yellow Temperance and Jerry to do other things.
Logically speaking, now that he had been warned by Nanami Kento, as long as he showed the evidence of being warned by the "Public Security Department," and then transitioned to doing a more normal criminal case review and analysis or a mukbang, there would be no problem.
Anyway, with the passive of the Golden Rule, he couldn't lose money no matter what.
But the problem was that Miyauchi Hikage's previous persona was set here. It would naturally not be good if the change was too sudden.
At the very least, Miyauchi Hikage still had to insist on his attitude for a little longer. After there was absolutely no room for maneuver, he could then put on a dejected look to score a wave of sympathy points.
And so, Miyauchi Hikage frowned and put on a thoughtful look.
"I came to Tokyo and found this place, Beika Town, because I felt that this place is very special and has many stories that can be filmed for everyone to see."
"I can accept your review of my video content, and I can also blur the specific location where the case occurred. I will maintain a cautious attitude during filming to avoid the videos making others feel uncomfortable. That should be no problem, right?"
What Miyauchi Hikage actually meant was for Nanami Kento to go and get a ban order, then he could directly transition to the "Into Science" and "Legal Zone" segments.
However, Nanami Kento, watching the glint of confidence flash in Miyauchi Hikage's eyes as he spoke, couldn't help but fall into a moment of silence.
Ten years ago.
He had become a student at Jujutsu High at the age of this boy in front of him.
At that age, he had not had time to find his own direction in life before he first encountered despair, witnessing his friend die in front of him, and realizing how much of a dogshit this world was.
Until now, he still didn't know what exactly he was working for.
He suddenly thought of that friend of his.
Although Miyauchi Hikage, no matter from which aspect, seemed to have no similarities with that friend of his.
But he still couldn't help but think of the words the other had said before they went on their last mission together.
"To do my best to do what I want to do and can do, I really like this feeling."
That's probably what it meant.
Ten years had passed. He couldn't even remember the other's appearance and the words he had said clearly.
That's why I don't like dealing with young people like this, especially a guy who has already found the meaning of his life at such a young age.
Nanami Kento thought to himself.
But his words still held no mercy.
"You're still a minor, aren't you? A minor should just honestly do what they're supposed to do. I will contact your parents after this to know their attitude towards you doing these things."
"I will also report this to my superiors. During this period, you'd better not upload any new videos to your account, nor are you allowed to do any more filming work."
As he said this, Nanami Kento adjusted his tie.
"It's getting late now. I've taken up so much of your time. You should go back and rest. After the results of the processing from above come down, I will contact you again."
Nanami Kento didn't care about Miyauchi Hikage's reaction. After saying these words, he turned and walked towards the convenience store again.
But Miyauchi Hikage knew that Nanami Kento's target was the pseudo-vengeful spirit in the convenience store, which was disguised by a small fragment of Yellow Temperance that had been separated from the main body.
In the original JoJo manga, Yellow Temperance could only grow by devouring organic matter.
In this half a month, by constantly feeding it, its size had also been constantly growing, and it had derived the functions of splitting and suppressing his physique.
Originally, these changes had already made Miyauchi Hikage very satisfied.
After all, as a Stand that appeared in the third part of JoJo, before the settings of Stands were further perfected, Yellow Temperance was just a blank-slate Stand for disguise. It wasn't even very useful for sneak attacks because the speed at which it consumed flesh was too slow.
But in this world, perhaps because a Stand was also a form of spiritual power, after Miyauchi Hikage had sealed more than 99.9% of his Pure-Yang Body's physique and was finally able to see those so-called vengeful spirits with his own eyes, he had discovered that Yellow Temperance seemed to be very interested in these spiritual bodies as well.
And after devouring the vengeful spirit from the library, Yellow Temperance had gained another form, that of a vengeful spirit that ordinary people could not see.
Tonight, after confirming Nanami Kento's whereabouts, Miyauchi Hikage had separated a small fragment of Yellow Temperance, had it disguise itself as a vengeful spirit and follow behind him within ten meters, and then had broken the connection.
At the same time, he had also taken a tiny bit of the main body of Yellow Temperance and covered his face with it. One was to assist him in completing some subtle expression changes, and the other was to confirm whether Nanami Kento could detect these two different forms of Yellow Temperance.
