Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Well, seeing my weak and painful appearance just now and not taking the opportunity to attack, it seems you're truly convinced. In that case, the information you provided can be temporarily considered true."

Yotsuya Miko was stunned for a moment before she understood.

So, Ye Xing's painful appearance just now was all an act?

The purpose was to put on a show for Hachishaku.

If Hachishaku had taken the opportunity to attack, it would have proven that the information she provided under interrogation was likely false.

Even calculating against evil spirits.

As expected, Ye Xing is a mature exorcist.

That's what she thought.

But Yotsuya Miko always felt a strange anger in her heart, and she couldn't help but clench her right fist and swing it out, but it landed gently on Ye Xing's shoulder.

"Couldn't you have told me in advance? You made me worry for nothing."

"Listen to you," Ye Xing said with his usual lazy look, not caring at all.

"Actually, summoning the ghost hand twice and maintaining it for so long did take a lot out of me."

Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko remembered a question she wanted to ask, and said curiously.

"By the way, how many times can you summon that pale ghost hand?"

"Hmm... I haven't really tried, but if I had to guess, probably about twenty times."

"Twenty times! ?"

Yotsuya Miko was shocked.

"You said it takes a lot out of you, but it's only one-tenth?"

"Of course."

Ye Xing nodded with a serious look.

"Haven't you heard a saying?"

"What saying?"

"For a mature RPG player, 99% HP is low health, and below 95% HP is extremely low."

Chapter 040: A World Dominated by Evil Spirits

After this series of jokes, Yui Yuigahama and Yotsuya Miko both relaxed a lot.

Ye Xing shared the information about this world that he had extracted from Hachishaku with the two of them.

During the narration, Sabre squatted obediently on the ground, wagging its tail enthusiastically at Ye Xing.

Hachishaku, on the other hand, was curled up in a corner, with fear in her eyes, like a wounded lamb, making people feel a little pitiful.

Just as Ye Xing had guessed.

This is the other side of the world connected to the "gates" within Kyoto City.

Even Hachishaku doesn't know how long this world has existed.

But one thing is certain.

The underworld, hell, the netherworld, the realm of the dead – all these terms related to the afterlife actually refer to this world.

This place is essentially a one-to-one replica of Kyoto City, the only difference being that the inhabitants of this city are not humans, but evil spirits and monsters.

"But..."

Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko frowned.

"When we encountered 'gates' before, we never experienced anything like crossing over to another world. Moreover, this time, there wasn't a 'gate' near me or Yui, so how did we end up in this other Kyoto City?"

Ye Xing shook his head and pointed to Hachishaku, who was curled up in the corner.

"Actually, you, Yui, and Sabre have already come into contact with 'gates', you just didn't know it."

Yotsuya Miko was stunned when she heard this, then looked at Hachishaku in the corner, a look of disbelief appearing in her eyes, and she murmured.

"You, you're saying... there's a 'gate' inside her body! ?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. The reason the three of us came to this world this time is actually the result of Hachishaku being unable to control the power of the 'gate' and a series of coincidences."

Ye Xing nodded.

"Logically speaking, an evil spirit of Hachishaku's level is only on par with your Hundred Eyes. The reason she was able to instantly kill your Hundred Eyes was actually due to the power brought by the 'gate' within her."

"I see."

Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

She had originally thought that her awakened Hundred Eyes were too useless to be able to defeat Hachishaku.

Don't underestimate Hachishaku-sama's fame.

But that's mainly because new works are constantly being released for reasons that are not convenient to talk about.

In reality.

This kind of youkai can only trick children by disguising their voices, and is still far from those truly powerful great demons.

So it's not that my soul's manifestation is useless.

But that the enemy mutated.

Thinking this way, Yotsuya Miko felt much more relaxed.

"Wait a minute."

Yui Yuigahama, who had been tilting her head with a look of understanding, suddenly spoke.

"If that's the case, why was Ye Xing also pulled in?"

Before Ye Xing could explain, Yui Yuigahama muttered to herself.

"Hmm... and why did you know that Miko summoned Hundred Eyes? Didn't you arrive later?"

"Could it be..."

Yui Yuigahama looked at Ye Xing naively, suddenly realizing.

"I understand, you must have been worried about Miko's safety, so you were waiting nearby, but you kept hiding so she could successfully awaken her ability, right?"

"Just a coincidence."

Ye Xing still maintained his calm expression.

"I just happened to take on a request. Yui, did you know that the grandmother of a little girl in your apartment building recently passed away?"

"Really? I haven't heard about it."

"Well, it's an apartment building after all, not a large courtyard, so it's normal for neighbors not to be familiar with each other."

Ye Xing replied noncommittally, then continued.

"After the little girl's grandmother passed away, she said that she often heard her grandmother's voice calling her name in the middle of the night, and she also experienced symptoms similar to sleepwalking. Fortunately, her parents had the habit of locking the security door before going to bed, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

"In short, after going to the hospital and finding nothing, the little girl's parents found Old Deng, Old Deng found me, and with the information you provided, I was able to confirm that there were evil spirits in this area, and they weren't ordinary evil spirits."

"Coincidence, it's all just a coincidence."

Yui Yuigahama giggled twice, leaned close to Yotsuya Miko's ear, and teased in a low voice.

"Miko, Ye Xing is still very concerned about you, you know."

"Cough cough."

Yotsuya Miko's face was also a little flushed, and she coughed twice to ease the embarrassment.

"Don't talk nonsense."

Then, before Yui Yuigahama could speak, Yotsuya Miko asked half sincerely and half to change the subject.

"So now, how are we going to leave here?"

"It's simple."

Ye Xing shrugged.

"Besides relying on luck and gambling on probability like before, there is also a stable way to travel between worlds, which is to wait here until five o'clock in the morning."

Yui Yuigahama asked in confusion, "Why five o'clock?"

"Have you heard of Omagatoki?"

"Oma what?"

"Omagatoki."

"Oma what time?"

Ye Xing rolled his eyes.

"Don't mess around here."

Yotsuya Miko had studied many strange and ancient books, so she had naturally heard of the term Omagatoki, and she couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"I remember that Omagatoki refers to dusk, doesn't it?"

"That's right."

Ye Xing nodded slightly and explained.

"But that's the time when evil spirits can appear in the mortal world. For ordinary humans like Yui, the time to pass through the 'gate' and return to the mortal world is the opposite of dusk, roughly from five to seven in the morning. I call it the Hour of Encounter."

"And for spirit power users like you and me, we can freely travel between the two worlds through the 'gate', whether it's Omagatoki or the Hour of Encounter."

Yotsuya Miko pursed her lips, thoughtfully.

"In other words, as long as we find the location of the 'gate' in this world, we can return to Kyoto City in the mortal world through the 'gate'? This seems..."

Speaking of this, Yotsuya Miko looked at Yui Yuigahama with concern.

According to the information provided by Hachishaku, although this place is the same as Kyoto City, it is a ghost town filled with a large number of evil spirits.

Her own condition is not very good now, and she definitely won't be able to summon Hundred Eyes again in a short time.

What's more, there's also Yui Yuigahama, an ordinary person.

Yotsuya Miko believed that with Ye Xing's strength, he could definitely safely reach the location of the 'gate' if he acted alone.

But taking two burdens with him would be unrealistic.

Ye Xing seemed to see through Yotsuya Miko's thoughts and said with a chuckle.

"Don't worry, I left Hachishaku behind to prepare for this."

"When the time comes, she can directly send us back to the mortal world, after all, she has the power of the 'gate' within her."

Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko finally felt relieved.

So that's how it is. No wonder Ye Xing, who is usually ruthless towards evil spirits, would spare Hachishaku's life.

It turns out that he wants to use Hachishaku as a return transfer point.

Chapter 041: I See That Yui Yuigahama Is Also a Good Fellow

Thinking of this, Yotsuya Miko suddenly remembered something.

She struggled to sit up straight, put her palms together, her small face flushed red, as if she had used all her strength.

"Come out!"

This sudden action stunned Yui Yuigahama and Ye Xing.

"Come out... what?"

Yotsuya Miko separated her palms, looked at her empty hands, and sighed.

"I wanted to try your method of condensing evil spirit energy into a weapon, but there was no reaction at all."

"As expected, am I still too weak?"
