After a rejected guess, the pair’s final attempt of their first collab ended with the ghost confirmed and the contract paid.

Hyakuto Kyoko and Takane Lui confirmed the ghost on their final attempt of a Phasmophobia session on Tuesday, after an earlier guess was marked wrong. The two streamed their first collab together, each from their own channel, for just over two hours.

They opened as “Hawk Police,” the name they gave the pairing, and Kyoko introduced herself with her patrol-themed catchphrase. Lui, who introduced herself as a holoX executive, said she was not good with horror games, Phasmophobia in particular. They picked the amateur difficulty and took the one contract open to them, a house on Tanglewood Drive.

The pair worked through the game’s tools: a thermometer, an EMF reader, a DOTS projector, a UV light and a camera set out in rooms. They hunted for a breaker box in the dark, and scares sent both into the voice chat shouting. Around 1:26 the UV light caught a fingerprint, and they settled on a ghost type called Obake. Later a poltergeist guess did not hold, and Kyoko asked for “one more” attempt. In that last run they set the equipment early, watched doors close and lights come on by themselves, and confirmed the ghost, to cheers in chat.

Chat answered the screaming and the wrong guess with jokes, then sent applause once the ghost was confirmed. Near the end, one of them proposed an off-collab, an in-person collab, built around snacks to go with drinks, and the other agreed. The stream closed on a shout of “Hyakuto Kyoko is the strongest,” which chat repeated.
