Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Miko Yotsuya was an average high school student, or at least that's what she thought a few weeks ago.

But one day, my eyes began to see some "strange" things.

Those creatures are like souls after death, constantly searching for humans who can see them.

Although I don’t know what the consequences would be if people found out that I can see, I think it definitely wouldn’t be a good thing.

So, Jianzi pretended not to see it today.

Today, after school, I went home as usual. After saying goodbye to my good friend "Hua" at the zebra crossing, I walked towards my home.

Occasionally, ghosts appear on both sides of the road.

Although there were many types and numbers, most of them had pale skin and sunken pupils, and their hideous bodies made Jianzi feel uncomfortable just by standing there.

“…Play with your phone for a while.”

Jianzi uses a skill she recently acquired – playing with her phone while walking.

Only use your peripheral vision to observe the surrounding environment, and focus your main attention on the phone.

Even though you are just swiping back and forth on your phone, just act as if you are looking at your phone and not paying any attention to them.

This trick works every time.

At this time, the mobile phone sent a message:

[Jianzi, let's go eat dessert together tomorrow~ I'm so hungry.jpg]

It was a message from Yurikawaka.

This good friend was clearly eating a lot every day, but as soon as the two of them separated, he sent her an invitation.

And it’s tomorrow’s plan.

"It's really out of tune..." Jianzi chuckled.

This friend has helped me a lot both in reality and on the 'other side'.

Even if the other party is completely unaware, there are many times when I have relied on Hua to divert attention and avoid spirits.

So I am very grateful to her in my heart.

[Okay, what dessert do you want? Curious.jpg]

【eat……】

what are we eating?

Jianzi was a little curious and continued to wait for the next reply.

【eat……】

【eat……】

……

Countless identical replies instantly flooded the screen.

"Is it broken?"

Seeing that Zi was a little uneasy, he shook the phone vigorously, trying to fix it with the most primitive means.

Then he looked at the phone screen again.

The screen that was scrolling continuously disappeared.

Jianzi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when she was about to relax, her phone suddenly flashed and the screen went black.

Then a new reply came into view.

【Eat...you! 】

Alas! ?

Because of fear, my arms were shaking and I threw my phone out in excitement.

"It's fake, it's all fake, just pretend you don't see it."

Keep reminding yourself in your heart.

Just as Jianzi was about to move forward to look for his lost phone, he found himself in a shadow.

!! ?

Jianzi suddenly felt a chill.

Her eyes involuntarily turned upwards, where a strange spirit was standing.

The spirit exuded a cold aura all over its body. It had the shape of a human, but was more than three meters tall.

The complexion was a tragic defeat, with countless arms waving behind him.

This deformed body was like an evil spirit from the abyss, blocking Jianzi less than two meters away.

when?

The other party seemed to notice Jianzi's gaze. His originally lifeless eyes turned rapidly, as if adapting to the long-lost light, and finally his gaze fell on Jianzi.

It can feel that the other person is looking at it for a moment.

It doesn't know if it's an illusion, so it needs to be tested.

Its body remained motionless, with one hand reaching for its head.

Then he exerted force and tore it off as if it was not a part of his body.

There was a long black umbilical cord-like strip under the head connecting to the body, and it was held in its hand and brought close to Jianzi's face.

Although the head was separated from the neck, it still had consciousness and spoke intermittently:

"... See... Can you see... Can you see it?"

When the mouth opened, a cold and smelly gas spread out.

If Jianzi were to guess, she would definitely think that this was the smell that had been brewing for a week after the body was placed in the sewer.

"……ah…"

Not quite understanding the situation, Jianzi asked an unknown question.

And this question made the 'creature' in front of him even more excited.

"...Can you...see...it?...Can...you...see...it?"

The head was waved by thin and pale arms and rotated around Jianzi's head, as if expressing its excitement.

After just two seconds, Jianzi understood the current situation - she was entangled by something indescribable again.

My knees were shaking and my feet felt a little weak.

There seemed to be tears welling up in the corners of my eyes.

But reason told her that it was just a spirit.

If the other person doesn't know that he can see it, he can't cause harm to himself.

However, Jianzi's heart could not calm down. In order to avoid looking at the spirit again, Jianzi looked upwards.

There are already some dark clouds in the sky.

"...Ah, it's cloudy today...I need to...go home quickly..."

There was some trembling in his words, but there was nothing he could do. This was already his limit.

After saying this, the deformed spirit in front of him kept waving its arms, as if it had lost some of its vitality.

"She...she can't see, can't...see."

But he was still wary of Jianzi, and stared at Jianzi closely with his head held by his slender arms.

Jianzi realized that the danger had been reduced by half and was about to leave.

But I realized two problems.

My cell phone has not been recycled yet.

The other party's huge, pale, deformed and cold body was standing in front of him. If he wanted to go home, he had to step over it.

What's even more unfortunate is that her phone seemed to have fallen behind the other person.

This meant that she couldn't take a detour and had to step over the other person to find her phone.

"Gulp" Jianzi swallowed his saliva.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to do something.

"Go for it myself!"

After encouraging himself in his heart, Jianzi lowered his head and looked at the ground to avoid his vision being contaminated by the deformed body.

Only in this way would she have the courage to pass through the spirit.

A distance of two or three meters is not far.

In terms of Jianzi's pace, it can be crossed within five steps.

But at this moment, Jianzi felt that time was unusually long.

The sound of her heartbeat was so loud that it seemed to be entering and exiting her ears.

His feet felt weak and his steps were trembling.

In response, Jianzi simply closed his eyes and walked forward based on his feeling.

“…Almost…almost.”

After taking a few steps, I felt like I had passed the spirit.

Jianzi slowly opened his eyes.

!! ?

This was an incredible sight, as Jianzi discovered that the surrounding environment had completely changed at some point.

Looking around, I found myself in a wilderness.

There were abandoned tombstones scattered all around, and the ancient tomb walls were so dilapidated that they looked as if they could be knocked down with a little force.

The tombstone was covered in dust and there were broken stones scattered around it, so the original epitaph could no longer be seen.

Besides, it was still afternoon, so there should still be plenty of sunshine.

But in the blink of an eye, night has fallen, phosphorescent insects are flying, and tiny lights are flickering in the cemetery, as if ghosts are wandering in the night.

“…What’s going on?!”
