Ye Xing waved his hand and said casually: "Do you see anyone watching us?"
Yotsuya Miko looked around and nodded.
"Yes, many people are staring at you."
"That's because I'm handsome, not because of the knife."
"Forehead..."
Narcissism is a disgusting trait.
But Ye Xing's simple and self-righteous narcissism really makes it difficult for Yotsuya Kenko to say anything.
indeed.
Those who were secretly looking at Ye Xing were basically all women, and their eyes only stayed on his face, without noticing the long sword at his waist.
"Yes, I was indeed overthinking it."
Yotsuya Kenko thought that was true.
In Kyoto, where otaku culture is prevalent, you can often see people wearing cosplay costumes in this busy commercial street.
Ye Xing's open attitude towards the long sword is actually normal.
Put another way.
Even if he tried to cover it, the length of the knife would make it impossible to do so, and it would arouse suspicion from others.
After leaving the commercial street, Yotsuya Kenko looked at the long sword on Yexing's waist and asked curiously.
"So how are you going to get home later? If you can't take the train or bus, you'll have to walk back."
"what are you saying?"
Ye Xing looked at Yotsuya Kenko in confusion, untied the long sword at his waist, and handed it to the other party with one hand.
"How to get home with this thing is what you need to consider."
"what?"
Looking at the long sword handed over by Yexing, Yotsuya Kenko was confused.
"Why... not, this, let me take it back?"
"Of course."
Ye Xing's tone was very matter-of-fact.
"This long sword is a special spiritual object. The first thing we need to verify is whether it can deter evil spirits and ghosts to a certain extent. Therefore, it must be held by someone who can see those things. You also understand my situation. Only you can take on this important task."
Yotsuya saw that Zi was hesitant and didn't know what to do.
The only people who could see those "things" clearly were her and Yexing.
Although Oda Noto is also a psychic, he can only notice some shadows at most, which is incomparable to her and Ye Xing.
To test the deterrent effect of the long sword, one must first meet the condition of having the Yin-Yang eyes.
Otherwise, how do you know whether the evil spirits and ghosts have been driven away?
The situation of night stars is rather special.
He doesn't need to do anything special, nor does he need to possess any spiritual objects.
The mere presence of Ye Xing is enough to make evil spirits and ghosts retreat.
The evidence is that after Yotsuya Miko entered Sobu High School today, she did not see any trace of those "things" for the entire day.
This was a rare and enjoyable time for her to relax as she lived in fear all day long.
Therefore, if Ye Xing were to hold the long sword, the experiment would have no effect at all. After all, ordinary evil spirits and ghosts would not dare to approach him.
However, there is still one most critical issue.
Yotsuya Miko bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes were very conflicted, she raised her head and looked at Ye Xing, and finally she spoke slowly.
"Classmate Yexing, can I trust you?"
"You have to ask yourself that."
Ye Xing restrained his smile and replied with a rare serious expression on his face.
"If you have any unspeakable secrets, it's not too late to withdraw now. The choice is in your hands."
Yohoshi knew why Yotsuya Miko was hesitating.
There is a... I don't know how to describe it in the other person's house. Neither ghost nor evil spirit are appropriate. I think it should be called a soul.
If that were all, it would be fine.
Yotsuya Miko had encountered hundreds, if not thousands, of evil spirits and ghosts.
The problem is, the spirit haunting her home is her recently deceased father.
It would be fine if I took this long sword back and it didn't work.
If I really expel my father's soul, will I be able to see him again in the future?
This was what she hesitated about.
The two of them stood in silence at the exit of the commercial street, inevitably attracting the attention and comments of passers-by.
"Is that a breakup?"
“It looks like it.”
"It's great to be young."
"Shura Field? Caught cheating?"
"Forget it, let's go in and buy some things. I'm exhausted after a long day of work."
.......
After a long silence, Yotsuya Kenko pursed his lips, and a look of determination gradually emerged in his golden eyes. He slowly stretched out his hand and grasped the long sword handed over by Yexing.
"I'm ready."
Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath and told everything about how her father's soul had been wandering around her home since his death.
She tried her best to calm the complicated emotions in her chest and spoke in a firm tone.
"Although I still feel a little reluctant, please rest assured that I will take responsibility and personally send my father to the afterlife."
"Forehead..."
Ye Xing's expression became very interesting and complicated.
"Well... I really admire your awareness of sacrificing your relatives for the sake of justice, but did you misunderstand something?"
"what?"
Yotsuya Kenko was stunned when he heard this.
"Don't you intend to destroy my father's soul?"
“I never said such a thing before.”
Ye Xing waved his hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Your father is not an evil spirit, nor does he pose any threat to humans. He is not affected by the Gate either. I have nothing better to do, so why would I destroy him?"
Only then did Yotsuya Miko react.
It turned out that I had misunderstood.
She had a preconceived notion that since Ye Xing devoured hundreds of evil spirits after awakening that special ability, he must have an extremely strong hatred for this kind of existence.
Plus what the other party said in the train before.
He would not care about anything that had nothing to do with evil spirits.
Yotsuya Miko naturally understood that as long as it was related to evil spirits and ghosts, Yexing would definitely take action resolutely.
This is what she was hesitating about.
It turns out that all of this was just the fantasy I made up in my mind, and Ye Xing didn't mean that at all?
"This, I, this, that..."
Even Yotsuya Miko, who usually didn't express her emotions easily, blushed with embarrassment when she thought of what she had just said and her resolute look, and she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.
Shame, really shame.
This is equivalent to going straight from being a handsome and enlightened person to being a fool who talks to himself. It is so embarrassing.
Seeing Yotsuya Miko's appearance, Ye Xing couldn't help but smiled and shook his head, then restrained his smile and said.
"But you are right about one thing."
"It's not an option to continue like this."
"As long as the gates continue to appear in Kyoto, one day your father will be affected by the gates and transformed from a harmless soul into a terrifying evil spirit."
019 Visiting Jianzi's Home
After hearing these words, Yotsuya Kenko finally realized what was happening.
Yes.
She had forgotten about the "doors" in every corner of Kyoto City that could affect spiritual creatures.
If one day, a "door" appears in the area near your home...
Yotsuya Miko just imagined in his mind that his father, who was humorous and amiable when he was alive, had turned into a twisted and terrifying evil spirit. He felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by a hand, and even breathing became painful.
more importantly.
My father's spirit has been wandering around the house.
If the father, under the influence of the "door", becomes an evil spirit capable of harming humans, the first victim will be his mother.
This is something that Yotsuya Miko absolutely does not want to see.
"what should I do?"
For the first time, Yotsuya Miko's face, which usually showed no emotion, showed obvious emotion fluctuations, and her golden eyes were filled with unconcealable panic.
Ye Xing shook his head: "It's not what you should do."
"It's what we should do."
Yotsuya Kenko looked touched when he heard this.
"You, are you willing to help me? Yexing-san."
"Of course, we are partners in the same club."
"Club? What club?"
"Don't waste time, let's talk about it on the way."
........
On the way to Yotsuya Miko's house in a taxi, Ye Xing roughly asked about the situation at her home.
Contrary to his original memory, Yotsuya Miko did not have a younger brother, and there were only her and her mother at home.
Oh no.
There are only mother and daughter and a ghost.
The reason why Yaxing offered to help Yotsuya Miko was not only because they were both psychics and wanted to work together, but there was another most crucial reason.
The soul of Yotsuya Miko's father is a very special kind among all the evil spirits and ghosts.
When a person dies, if he holds an extremely strong obsession, he will transform into a soul.
Of course, not all spirits are evil. There are also kind spirits like tape recorders.
Although Yotsuya Miko's father is also a soul transformed by obsession, he possesses the same rationality as when he was alive.
Ye Xing wanted to try to communicate with the other party.
If you want to know information about spirits, the first person you should ask is, of course, the spirits.
