Kamimoto Katsura gripped the trash can lid, her palms slowly becoming soaked with sweat.
She nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, staring at the twisted monster under the dim street lamp.
Facing these things she had never encountered before for the first time, a certain indescribable excitement, like an electric current, traveled from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
Excitement, this was something Kamimoto Katsura had never imagined.
Fear, perhaps that was the emotion she should have had.
And determination, that was a resolution she had never had before.
She decided to bid farewell to her former self, regardless of whether she lived or died today.
That former self who was once cowardly, incompetent, and useless.

Goodbye! My former self!
"Concentrate your spirit, this is not a child's play."
Bai Qing 'strode like a dragon and paced like a tiger', her eyes fixed on the six-legged demon.
The faint light in the distance reflected on its pure white fur, as if plated with platinum.
The cat pupils, originally like black pearls, gradually turned golden, like a god overlooking the world without emotion.
Perhaps even Bai Qing herself didn't realize how calm she was at this moment.
"The six-legged demon will accelerate and sprint the moment it approaches you, and it will use the joints on its left side as sharp weapons to attack you.
When I tell you to dodge left or right, you must listen carefully."
Bai Qing solemnly instructed Kamimoto Katsura, she knew that now was not the time for usual playfulness, even the slightest mistake could cost this girl her life here.
"I understand."
Kamimoto Katsura took a deep breath, she felt her heart beating frantically, and faster and faster.
The boiling blood surged through her body like a flood, making her mind exceptionally clear at this moment.
Bai Qing glanced at her, using her unique night vision to see Kamimoto Katsura's trembling hands.
Bai Qing arched her body and her tail stood up.
"Hiss."
The six-legged demon slowly crawled closer, it stopped in front of Kamimoto Katsura and looked her up and down.
"This is the six-legged demon observing your movements, these cunning monsters will always attack the moment you lose your focus."
Bai Qing stared at the six-legged demon, as the son of Bai Ze who knew all demons, she knew what this cunning monster was going to do.
"The six-legged demon dragging its hind feet is a sign that it is about to attack, this is a sign that it is impatient."
"Prepare, dodge to the left!"
At this moment, Kamimoto Katsura felt time slow down in an instant, whether it was wind and clouds, or light and sound.
Everything seemed to stand still.
She heard Bai Qing's voice and saw the posture of the six-legged demon at the moment of leaping.
Her thinking was accelerated several times, and a voice kept reminding her in her mind.
To the left, to the left, to the left!
Her body began to move, she felt the coldness and pain when her head and back came into contact with the brick road.
"Clangβ!!"
Time returned to normal, the whistling wind blew past her, and a loud noise echoed in the street.
Kamimoto Katsura gasped for breath, her hands trembling like crazy.
Her face was paralyzed, and her eyes nervously looked at the trash can not far from her side.
That was the six-legged demon's missed attack, hitting the iron trash can.
"Very good! Beautiful!"
Bai Qing praised.
She stretched out her paw and pointed to the flattened trash can, which was made of inch-thick steel.
"If you hadn't dodged, you would have been cut in half like a banana."
"However, you did it now."
Kamimoto Katsura stood up listening to Bai Qing's words, she saw the disgusting monster struggling to climb up from the trash can. An endless courage suddenly arose in her heart.
Perhaps after her first confrontation with the monster, that fear also dissipated.
"Don't relax your vigilance, the six-legged demon's front is very hard.
Even current firearms may not be able to penetrate its front."
The trash can proved Bai Qing's words, and Kamimoto Katsura agreed.
"But it doesn't matter, the six-legged demon has a hard front, and it also has a weak back.
Its back half is its weakness."
"Now it's coming."
"Remember, its demon power is not unlimited, this kind of little demon doesn't even have demon power, it will only climb up and fight you hand-to-hand."
As Bai Qing said, the six-legged demon quickly crawled towards Kamimoto Katsura, waving its forelimbs to cut off the weak girl in front of it.
"Hiss!"
The six-legged monster shouted.
"Dodge to the left."
Kamimoto Katsura jumped to the left, dodging the six-legged demon's attack.
"To the right."
"To the right."
"To the left."
Under Bai Qing's guidance, she kept dodging the monster's attacks.
No matter what kind of attack method the six-legged demon used, it would always be one or two seconds late, as if there was a delay.
Kamimoto Katsura became more and more skilled at dodging, and even avoided the opponent's attacks with movements that consumed less physical strength.
"It's about to use its move, be careful to dodge."
Jump away hard, accompanied by the strong wind of the impact, the six-legged demon crashed into the hard trash can.
Its two heads were stuck in the bent trash can, and six legs like human legs were struggling frantically.
"Now is a good opportunity, go and pick up the stick next to the trash can, and stab it hard into its butt!"
Bai Qing shouted urgently, Kamimoto Katsura rushed to the trash can without hesitation, picked up the wooden stick from the side and stabbed it hard into the back of the six-legged demon.
"Hiss!!!"
The six-legged demon howled miserably like a skewered locust.
The blood in its body spurted out along the wooden stick, splashing on Kamimoto Katsura who was caught off guard.
"So smelly!"
Kamimoto Katsura said, covering her nose.
"After all, it's transformed from a rotten corpse, it's normal to have a bad smell."
Bai Qing saw that there was no danger, and slowly walked over.
She excitedly looked at the corpse of the six-legged demon, waving her paws to disperse the stench in front of her.
"It's a pity, it can't drop equipment."
"β¦"
Kamimoto Katsura was speechless.
"Xiao Bai, are you really a auspicious beast?"
"Auspicious beasts also like to play games, isn't that normal?"
Bai Qing chuckled, after all, she was an otaku before she was reborn, and her favorite thing to do was naturally playing games and watching dramas.
"There is still a six-legged demon."
A thick fog filled the alleys behind her, rushing towards the two like a tide.
Kamimoto Katsura held the trash can lid, looking at the drifting fog with great energy.
She seemed to have changed into a different person at this time, completely without the previous timidity and fear.
"Want to continue?"
Kamimoto Katsura was eager to try.
"β¦"
Bai Qing glanced at her, feeling that this girl had gained confidence from the fight.
Now she even dared to take the initiative to propose a challenge.
Just as she was about to say something, she saw the thick fog slowly dissipating around her.
The young man walked out from it, standing not far away and smiling at them.
"Amazing, a girl without cultivation, can actually solo kill a monster."
Bai Qing climbed onto her body, looking at the man who appeared in the bakery.
"You, who are you?"
Kamimoto Katsura asked timidly.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Jiang Wen, I am from China, and I am a Taoist priest."
The young man replied with a smile, his eyes looking at the six-legged demon not far away.
He snorted lightly, and a blue light flashed past him.
The six-legged demon was immediately separated from its body and lay dead on the ground.
When the blue light returned to his side, Kamimoto Katsura could see clearly what it was.
It was a flying sword, a flying sword emitting a faint blue light.
"I, my name is Kamimoto Katsura."
Kamimoto Katsura raised her small face and told the other party her name.
"You are very powerful, I have never seen a girl like you who can do this kind of thing.
Although this six-legged demon is only the lowest level monster, it is not something ordinary people can deal with.
Even if the son of Bai Ze helps you, being able to defeat the six-legged demon can still show your courage."
Jiang Wen praised, he had actually come a long time ago, but he was not in a hurry to take action.
He saw the conversation between Kamimoto Katsura and the son of Bai Ze, and wanted to see what measures the two would take when facing the six-legged demon.
To his surprise, the girl chose to fight, and only relied on the command of the son of Bai Ze to defeat the six-legged demon, which made Jiang Wen have to praise her courage.
"You, you also know Xiaobai's identity!"
Kamimoto Katsura subconsciously protected Bai Qing, she didn't want to lose Xiaobai.
"Of course I know, my purpose here is also to bring the son of Bai Ze back."
Jiang Wen looked at Kamimoto Katsura and Bai Qing, and said in their wary eyes.
"Your real name is Bai Qing, you are also from China."
"You! How do you know!"
Bai Qing was shocked.
"I not only know your identity, but also know how you became like this.
I can also teach you how to turn back into a human."
Jiang Wen said with a smile, stating his conditions.
"Then what do you want?"
Bai Qing looked at Jiang Wen, she knew that there was no such thing as a free lunch in the world.
The other party was able to offer so many temptations, there must be a reason.
"I need you to return to China with me."
Jiang Wen said.
"Xiaobai!"
Kamimoto Katsura couldn't help but cry out, she was about to say something and then fell silent.
She knew that she shouldn't ask Xiaobai, perhaps what the man in front of her said was very important to Xiaobai.
"I will stay in Kyoto for a few more days.
If you have thought about it, call this number."
Jiang Wen took out his phone and sent her his phone number.
The white mirror on his shoulder stood up and looked at Bai Qing, and then disappeared into the night with Jiang Wen.
