After all, apart from Li Mo, she was the only person who had activated this cursed camera, which made her very curious.
"Although I've never dealt with cursed items, if I'm not mistaken, there's something wrong with the 'overdraft' module."
Li Mo deduced based on the knowledge in the nameless magic book.
"'Overdraft'...?"
Chihaya Asagumo seemed to have recalled some bad memories, and her expression became somewhat gloomy.
"Yeah, that's pretty much it."
Li Mo confirmed her guess, but because the communication between the two was quite obscure, no one else noticed it and just regarded it as Chao Yun Qianzao's ordinary supporting role, allowing Li Mo to continue his speech better.
"In short, even if magic power is insufficient, the camera can be overdrawn to unleash extraordinary power. So, the experience of an ordinary person after obtaining this camera is probably like this:"
"After taking a photo, I left and discovered its peculiarity. Then, in order to change back to the other gender, I would take another photo. At this stage, it's still barely salvageable, but if I get carried away because I think I have mastered supernatural powers and take a few more photos, then I'm doomed;"
"Things that are overdrawn are often taken away in simpler and more direct ways, such as life or soul... This can manifest through sudden accidents, car crashes, food poisoning, or accidentally dropping an electrically charged object into the bathtub. Even after death, the soul might be consumed by the camera's cursed power."
"Is it such an evil thing..."
Wen Shui and Yan were terrified after hearing this: "Then Jiashu and Dad will be okay, right?"
"This camera is a defective product. The overdrawn module can't function properly, so to ordinary people, it's just an ordinary camera. Your father is probably just an ordinary person. In a sense, it can be said that two negatives add up to a positive."
"However, as a demonic creation, this camera should also have special effects like addictiveness. Without the overdraft module, all its supernormal properties are ineffective against normal humans. It's actually more dangerous to those with magical powers."
"Luckily, you found this place before Wenshuimei took the second photo. It should be fine if you only take one photo."
Charging is just for emergency use. In fact, Li Mo had already sealed the camera with [Scales] just now.
After saying that, Li Mo looked at the Wenshui siblings and said in a snow leopard voice: "By the way, didn't we just say we were going to disband? Why are you still here?"
“…That’s too much of a self-righteous thing to say.”
Wen Shuiheyan said helplessly, holding his forehead.
Chapter 100: Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
Just in case, Li Mo took advantage of the weekend to go to the second-hand store where the Wenshui siblings mentioned their father bought the cursed camera, but as expected, he found nothing.
In fact, it is not quite right to say that he gained nothing. He did find some good things in the second-hand shop that were difficult to find elsewhere.
"I didn't expect to be able to buy this never-before-reprinted super-invincible sea view room figurine of Sora-chan. So, does this world actually have '○ no Sora'?"
Li Mo originally thought that according to the normal nature of Zongman, it was possible that Qiongmei would exist in this world as a real person, but the result was not the case.
This made him feel a little regretful when he arrived.
Fortunately, he was nothing in his previous life.
"And there's this original edition of 'Tales of Elf' that became a hidden Easter egg due to a non-serious bug. I heard it's out of print... I don't plan on playing it, but Ryunosuke would probably like it, right?"
I never thought that I could find things like this in that second-hand shop located in the corner of a remote street. In a fit of excitement, Li Mo paid for a lot of them.
In the end, it is naturally like a consumer who is dazzled by the discounts during various shopping festivals, impulsively buys a bunch of unnecessary goods, and then regrets it so much that he wants to sell his goods after he calms down.
Especially figurines and the like. Even if he bought them, he would have no place to put them in his empty house...
"Forget it, it's not a particularly troublesome matter anyway, so just leave it in the association's hut."
Walking on the road carrying a bunch of things, Li Mo took out a note from his pocket with some difficulty and carefully looked at what he had to do next this Sunday.
"Is the next place we need to go to Liulin Shrine?"
Li Mo had agreed to help Ryunosuke find the IBN5100 that was placed in the shrine. Even if his phone was confiscated, he would not go back on his word.
"Hey, isn't this Asakura-san?"
As a result, I met Yanami halfway, who was holding Akihabara's famous retro can of oden.
"Yanaimi, what are you doing here?"
Li Mo, who had never expected to meet the other person in such a place, was also stunned for a moment.
"It's a pilgrimage, of course!"
Yanaijian answered with a smug look on his face.
"Pilgrimage? Now? Here?"
Li Mo's expression became even more confused.
It is true that Akihabara is a holy place in the minds of many otakus, and this place often appears in some animations, so it seems that there is nothing wrong with calling it a pilgrimage to a holy place.
But the one who said this was the appetite demon Yanami Kyouna.
Putting aside the fact that this guy can indeed be considered a member of the school's popular group, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who would watch that kind of animation.
"Yes, I'm on a pilgrimage to the holy land of "The Lonely Gourmet" and have caught up with the special episode."
The girl spoke excitedly, but then she shook her head with a look of regret, saying, "It's a shame that many of the shops on TV have closed down. Many of them looked so delicious."
"…Is your wallet really okay?"
Li Mo couldn't help but ask.
Although he had not watched the TV series that the girl mentioned, from what she said, it should be a TV series similar to eating broadcast.
The prices of the delicacies that appear in those TV dramas shouldn’t be too low. Does this guy really have that much money?
"Huh, I just got some pocket money from grandma! That's Fukuzawa Yukichi!"
The girl said proudly: "That's absolutely no problem! Asakura-san, do you want to eat? I can treat you~"
"I always feel like every time you say something like this, I'm the one who ends up paying..."
"It was all just coincidences before! Damn it, I must avenge my previous shame this time... Eh?"
"what happened?"
"Fukuzawa Yukichi is gone! Even Noguchi Hideyo is gone!"
"Is it lost?"
Li Mo secretly activated [Snake], intending to see if he could help the girl find her back.
"Even though Fukuzawa Yukichi started looking for it in the vending machine in Chiba, there should still be quite a bit left. I don't think I spent much..."
The girl said in a daze.
"Let me ask you first, how much did you actually eat during that pilgrimage you just mentioned?"
Li Mo seemed to understand something and couldn't help asking with a headache.
"I didn't eat too much. I just stopped at every station to eat something. I have a monthly train pass anyway... I didn't dare go into those expensive-looking yakiniku restaurants. I just had cheap food. I ate like that all the way from Chiba to Akihabara, so I didn't eat much..."
Although the number of stations required to travel from Chiba to Akihabara varies depending on the train transfer route, Li Mo believes that even the nearest one should have more than nine stations.
I got off the bus at every stop to eat. Even if I really believed what the other party said and thought that the food I was eating was just cheap food, a bowl of ramen would cost at least 600 or 700 yen, and if I ate tempura or something like that, I would easily spend thousands of yen. Nowadays, a mere Fukuzawa Yukichi photo is not enough to spend that much.
"Don't you guys count the accounts?"
Li Mo said with a headache.
"Asakura-san, you really don't understand..."
The girl shrugged, revealing a somewhat smug smile, which made Li Mo inexplicably furious: "If you calculate life too clearly, you will lose a lot of fun!"
"Yanaimi, have you ever heard of the term 'financial management'?"
Li Mo asked with a wry smile.
"I'm not sure why, but Asakura-san's angry expression is a bit scary. Here, this oden fish cake is for you. It's better to stay calm."
The girl picked up a piece of limp fish from the can of oden in her hand and said with a flattering smile.
"No need for that. I only like to eat oden from convenience stores. I'm not interested in this kind of fast food."
Li Mo refused coldly.
“Fast food has its own charm! If it wasn’t delicious, why would it have been able to develop from the past to the present?”
“Because it’s convenient to eat.”
"Hmph, I get it. Asakura-san is the type of person who even cooks instant noodles in a pot, and if conditions permit, adds vegetables, bean sprouts, barbecued pork, and onsen eggs, right?"
"Any questions?"
"If that's the case, then we won't be able to savor the wonderful crunchy texture of the noodles even after soaking them for three minutes because the water isn't boiling yet!"
Seeing Kyoko's eloquent speech, Yana said, "This is a huge loss in life! Skipping instant noodles is like skipping life! Even your life will become incomplete!"
“…Please allow my life to remain incomplete.”
Chapter 101: Liulin Shrine.
"So, where are you planning on going, Asakura-san? If it's one of those stores marked 18X, I, Mom, won't allow it!"
Yanai asked curiously when she saw Xingcai looking at the bags in Li Mo's hands.
Because he felt that complaining about her would only make him physically and mentally exhausted, Li Mo ignored the girl's antics and simply replied: "Yanagi Shrine...Have you heard of Yanaijian?"
"No, it's more like the first time I know there's a shrine near Akihabara. I wonder if they sell sweet sake there."
Yanami said excitedly.
"No matter what shrine it is, they usually only sell it during temple fairs or Hatsumode..."
Li Mo rubbed his temple and replied: "And didn't Yanai see that your wallet was empty?"
"Even though Fukuzawa-san and Noguchi-san can no longer lend me their strength, it doesn't matter. I still have the support of the lilac flowers (the pattern on the back of the 500 yen coin, some say it's the paulownia flower)!"
Yanami held up the 500 yen coin high in the air, as if she was going to use it to transform into Pretty Cure.
As a result, his hand slipped and the coin fell to the ground with a crisp sound, and then rolled under the vending machine on the side of the road.
"My 500 yen!"
The girl stuffed the can of oden into Li Qimo's hand, and then she leaned over to the vending machine without caring about her image, stuck her butt out and started taking something out.
"I say, you should at least pay attention to your image as a girl."
Li Mo sighed.
"Wulusai, can your image be used to make a living?! Ah, I found it! Hey, why is it a 100 yen note?"
The girl looked at the coin in her hand that obviously didn't fall into the bottom of the vending machine with a confused look on her face: "Does this come with change?"
"Is it possible that you were dumped because you always disregard your image in front of acquaintances?"
Li Mo analyzed with understanding.
"I wasn't dumped! It just ended before it even began... Damn it, why do I feel even more pathetic after saying this!"
Yanaijian hammered the ground and muttered sadly.
"Even though she looked like a beautiful girl when I didn't know her..."
Li Mo sighed.
"Now she's a beautiful girl too!"
The girl argued.
Li Mo looked at her deeply, then shook his head: "Alas..."
"What? It's like seeing a super unfortunate guy! Even I would be hurt!"
The girl complained dissatisfiedly.
"That's not the case. Rather than that, do you want to go with me to Liulin Shrine?"
Li Mo asked.
"I wonder if the shrine enshrines some kind of god of connection?"
Seeing Yana was joking, she crossed her arms over her chest, smiled, and said in a very artificial and cautious tone: "Even if I'm cute, I can't trick people into going to that kind of shrine in this way~"
"Ugh……"
"So, stop it! This sigh of 'what a shame about this guy' is really hurtful!"
Li Mo walked away with an indifferent look on his face, while Yanaijian followed him noisily.
