Chapter 998: Chapter 26: Smooth Talker

Sato stared blankly at the muscular man grabbing the arm extended from the television, completely losing the ability to speak.

Even, at this moment, his mind stopped thinking.

Only left with–

Who is he?

Who is she?

What are they doing?

These thoughts kept popping up in his mind, over and over again.

And himself?

Just sat there dumbfounded, watching.

Watching the big man pull a woman out of the TV.

Then–

Hmm?

Seems to be stuck?

Stuck by what?

Sato widened his eyes, at a loss.

Jason was also a bit surprised.

He originally thought that the ‘food’ in the television would be pulled out by him in one go, but apparently, he had underestimated his own strength.

At that moment, Jason was about to exert more force to pull out the ‘food.’

But before he could exert more force, the wrist in his hand disappeared.

Or rather, the whole arm of the woman inside the television vanished.

Like an illusory projection, it just disappeared from Jason’s grasp.

The person retracted entirely back into the television.

And moreover, rapidly retreated back.

Just like the first time they met.

However, this time was different.

Jason was already prepared.

Ahh!

He opened his mouth and swallowed the television whole.

[Consumed ‘Shadow of the Curse. Fake’ (Spelled)]

[Physical Strength, Energy, Minor Injury Recovery!]

[Satiety +1]

[Satiety: 719]

…

What does a television taste like?

If it was a second before, Jason wouldn’t know.

But now, Jason could tell you, it’s… sweet.

Aside from a bit stuck in his teeth.

Including the television case, internal electronic components, and everything else, once they entered his stomach, they were quickly digested.

And Sato, who witnessed all this, finally couldn’t bear it and just passed out.

Jason didn’t even glance at him; he raised his hand and pressed the recorder.

Click!

The videotape came out.

Jason picked up the videotape, sniffing it carefully.

Apart from the inherent plastic smell of the videotape, there was no other scent.

Jason frowned slightly.

Spelled?

Shadow of the Curse?

The legendary cursed videotape?

Jason turned and walked towards the door.

Shimura Tetsuya had already been subdued.

The pepper-sprayed face of the opponent, now being tied up with a shoelace by Hui Lijing, curled up in the corner of the wall.

Due to the irritation of the pepper spray, Shimura Tetsuya looked quite miserable at this time, not only with tears and snot flowing but also convulsing all over, however, upon seeing Jason pushing the door open, he still struggled to sit up.

“Who are you?”

“Why did you break into my activity room?”

“The school police will be here soon!”

Shimura Tetsuya shouted loudly.

“Shut up!”

“Don’t you realize what has happened?”

“Did you create the ‘cursed videotape’?”

Hui Lijing berated him.

“What ‘cursed videotape’?”

“I only have three tapes for club entrance tests here.”

“The first tape is a puzzle, the second is an explanation, the third is for extension, there’s absolutely no ‘cursed videotape’ here!”

Shimura Tetsuya flatly denied.

Hui Lijing was taken aback.

Almost subconsciously, she pointed at Sato who had fainted on the ground.

“Then what’s his deal?”

“Don’t tell me he just fainted on his own!”

Hui Lijing questioned.

“He could have just fainted on his own, yeah!”

“And… look at your companion!”

“Any normal person would faint from fright seeing him, right?”

Shimura Tetsuya argued confidently.

This…

Hui Lijing turned her head to look at Jason wearing a mask, suddenly feeling that Shimura Tetsuya might have a point.

No, wait!

Jason and I are on the same side!

This guy is actually instigating me!

“Asshole!”

Hui Lijing cursed at him, raising her foot to kick him.

But was stopped by Jason.

Hui Lijing looked surprised at Jason.

Although they had not interacted for long, Hui Lijing thought she understood Jason well enough; he might stay silent most of the time, but that does not mean he just accepts things passively.

On the contrary!

Jason absolutely believes in an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth principle.

Then why stop her?

Hui Lijing looked puzzled at Jason.

Then, Jason stood erect in front of Shimura Tetsuya, looking down at him from a height.

A sense of inexplicable terror arose from the bottom of Shimura Tetsuya’s heart.

Just now, he was just trying to confuse Hui Lijing.

Or rather, simply being obstinate.

But why does he feel such fear when he truly sees this mask?

Why?

Shimura Tetsuya asked himself in his mind.

And at that moment, Jason kicked him.

Bang!

Even though the force was controlled, Shimura Tetsuya slid a considerable distance and ultimately, slammed heavily against the wall.

Just watching, Hui Lijing felt an intense pain.

But facing such a heavy blow, Shimura Tetsuya did not feel the pain.

Moreover, that terror seemed to have dispersed.

He burst into loud laughter.

“Impotent rage, is it?”

“Just relying on brute force to make me confess?”

“Do you think I will yield?”

Shimura Tetsuya was arrogantly provocative.

While coughing up blood, he laughed loudly.

He curled up his body, leaning against the wall and sat up.

“I didn’t do it, means I didn’t do it!”

“Whatever ‘cursed videotape’, I haven’t even heard of it.”

“But, the harm you did to me is real!”

“I will definitely call the police to arrest you!”
