How To Solve The Cursed Box Case In Urban Myth Dissolution Center

Do you like gifts? How about unboxing them? The feeling of opening something, taking out a gift, and touching it is indescribable. Boxes with unknown contents are exciting, probably because they fuel the sense of mystery.

This episode of Urban Myth Dissolution is actually about a box. But unfortunately, not every box contains what you want—sometimes, you get bad gifts. But what if you open a box, find nothing inside, yet still unleash a curse? Terrifying, isn’t it? This episode’s case revolves around a cursed box. If you’re ready, let’s begin.

The fourth episode revolves around a client named Jun Mayusaki, who owns a red box, and your task is to determine whether it is a cursed object. As always, before reaching the location related to the case, you must go through the social media research phase, where your goal is to find four clues:

1. First, click on the main post with an image to obtain the first clue.
2. Then, select the bottom post and use your glasses to acquire the “artifact effects” keyword.
3. Next, click on the comment saying, “You don’t know Jun Mayusaki? He’s totally famous. Goes by Beauty Jun.” to obtain the second clue.
4. Search for the artifact effects keyword. On the results page, click on the comment that says, “A village head’s entire clan was taken out by this box! Scary!!” to obtain the third clue.
5. Finally, click on the last comment under the artifact effects keyword page to obtain the fourth and final clue, completing the social media research phase.

If you select the image post on the artifact effects keyword page and use your glasses, you will obtain the curse rumors keyword. There are no clues on this page, but if you select the comment about Ryomen Sukuna, an urban myth about him will be added to your journal.
