Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"That's because I'm handsome, not because of the sword."

"Uh..."

Narcissism is a detestable trait.

But Ye Xing's simple, unadorned, and confident narcissism really made Yotsuya Miko not know what to say.

Indeed.

Those secretly glancing at Ye Xing were mostly women, and their gazes only lingered on his face, not noticing the long sword at his waist.

"I see, I was indeed overthinking it."

Yotsuya Miko thought that was true.

In Kyoto City, where otaku culture is prevalent, especially in this bustling commercial street, one can often see people wearing cosplay costumes.

Ye Xing's undisguised attitude towards the long sword was actually normal.

To put it another way.

Even if he tried to hide it, the length of this sword made it completely impossible, and it would only arouse suspicion.

After leaving the commercial street, Yotsuya Miko looked at the long sword at Ye Xing's waist and asked curiously.

"Then how are you going to get home later? If you can't take the train or bus, you'll have to walk back, right?"

"What are you talking about?"

Ye Xing glanced at Yotsuya Miko with a puzzled look, unsheathed the long sword from his waist, and handed it to her with one hand.

"How to get home with this thing is the problem you need to consider."

"Huh?"

Looking at the long sword that Ye Xing handed over, Yotsuya Miko was dumbfounded.

"Why... no, this, you want me to 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 that needs to be verified is whether it can deter evil spirits and monsters to a certain extent. Therefore, it must be held by someone who can see those things. You know my situation, only you can take on this important task."

Yotsuya Miko looked hesitant, not knowing what to do.

The only people who can clearly see those "things" are her and Ye Xing.

Oda Notou is also a psychic, but at most he can only notice some phantoms, which is not the same as her and Ye Xing.

To test the deterrent effect of the long sword, the first condition that must be met is having the ability to see spirits.

Otherwise, how would you know if the evil spirits and monsters have been driven away?

And Ye Xing's situation is quite special.

He doesn't need to do anything special, nor does he need to hold any spiritual objects.

Ye Xing himself is enough to make evil spirits and monsters avoid him.

The evidence is that after Yotsuya Miko entered Soubu High School today, she didn't see any traces of those "things" all day long.

For her, who is always worried and scared, it was a rare moment of relaxation and joy.

So, if Ye Xing were to hold the long sword, it would not have any effect at all, after all, ordinary evil spirits and monsters would not dare to approach him in the first place.

However, there is still one crucial issue.

Yotsuya Miko gently bit her lower lip, her eyes were very conflicted, she raised her head to look at Ye Xing, and finally slowly opened her mouth.

"Ye Xing, can I trust you?"

"That's for you to ask yourself."

Ye Xing restrained his smile, and a rare serious expression appeared on his face as he replied.

"If you have any unspeakable secrets, it's not too late to back out now. The choice is in your own hands."

Ye Xing knew the reason for Yotsuya Miko's hesitation.

In her house, there is a... I don't know how to describe it, neither a ghost nor an evil spirit is quite accurate, it should be called a soul.

If that was all, then it would be fine.

Yotsuya Miko has encountered hundreds of evil spirits and monsters.

The problem is that the soul wandering in her house is her father who passed away not long ago.

If she takes this long sword back and it doesn't work, then it's fine.

But if it really drives her father's soul away, will she be able to see her father again in the future?

What she is hesitating about is this point.

The two stood silently facing each other at the exit of the commercial street, inevitably attracting the attention and discussion of passersby.

"Are they breaking up?"

"Looks like it."

"Youth is so good."

"A showdown? Caught cheating?"

"Forget it, let's hurry in and buy things. I'm exhausted after working all day today."

...

After a long silence, Yotsuya Miko pursed her lips, and a firm look gradually appeared in her golden eyes. She slowly reached out and grasped the long sword that Ye Xing handed over.

"I'm prepared."

Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath and told him everything about her father's soul wandering in her house after his death.

She tried her best to calm the complex emotions in her chest and said firmly.

"Although I'm still a little reluctant, please rest assured, I will take responsibility and personally send my father to the afterlife."

"Uh..."

Ye Xing's expression became very interesting, and he said with a complicated expression.

"This... I really admire your determination to kill your own family member for the greater good, but have you misunderstood something?"

"Ah?"

Yotsuya Miko was stunned when she heard this.

"You don't have any plans to eliminate my father's soul?"

"I never said anything like that."

Ye Xing waved his hand with a wry smile.

"Your father is neither an evil spirit, nor does he pose any harm to humans, and he hasn't been affected by the gate. Why would I bother to eliminate him for no reason?"

Yotsuya Miko finally realized.

It turned out that she had misunderstood.

She had preconceived that since Ye Xing had devoured hundreds of evil spirits after awakening that special ability, he must have held an extremely strong hatred for such existences.

In addition to what he had said in the train before.

He wouldn't care about things that were not related to evil spirits.

Yotsuya Miko naturally understood that as long as it was related to evil spirits and monsters, Ye Xing would definitely take action resolutely.

She hesitated because of this.

As a result, all of this was just her own wild imagination. Ye Xing didn't mean that at all?

"This, I, this, that..."

Even Yotsuya Miko, who doesn't easily express her emotions on weekdays, couldn't help but blush with embarrassment when she thought of her words just now and her resolute appearance, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

It was too embarrassing, really too embarrassing.

This is equivalent to directly turning from a handsome awakening into a self-talking fool, it's simply too embarrassing.

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's appearance, Ye Xing couldn't help but shake his head with a smile, and then restrained his smile and said.

"But there is one thing you didn't say wrong."

"This can't go on like this."

"As long as the gates in Kyoto City continue to appear, one day, your father will also be affected by the gate and transform from a harmless soul body into a terrifying evil spirit."

Chapter 019 Visiting Miko's House

Hearing these words, Yotsuya Miko belatedly realized.

That's right.

She had forgotten about the "gates" within every corner of Kyoto City that could affect spiritual objects.

If one day, a "gate" appeared in the area near her home...

Yotsuya Miko just imagined it in her mind, and she felt like her heart was being tightly gripped by a hand, making it painful to even breathe, when she thought of her father, who was humorous, friendly, and amiable in life, turning into a twisted and terrifying evil spirit.

More importantly.

Her father's soul has been wandering in the house.

If her father, under the influence of the "gate", turned into an evil spirit that could harm humans, then the first victim would be her mother.

This is something that Yotsuya Miko absolutely doesn't want to see.

"What should I do?"

For the first time, a clear emotional fluctuation appeared on Yotsuya Miko's face, which was always calm and collected, and her golden eyes were filled with unconcealable panic.

Ye Xing shook his head: "It's not what you should do."

"But what we should do."

Yotsuya Miko's face showed a look of gratitude when she heard this.

"You, are you willing to help me? Ye Xing."

"Of course, we are companions in the same club."

"Club? What club?"

"Don't waste time, we'll talk about it on the way."

...

On the way to Yotsuya Miko's house in a taxi, Ye Xing roughly inquired about the situation of her family.

What differed from his original memory was that Yotsuya Miko didn't have a younger brother. There were only her and her mother in the family.

Oh, no, that's not right.

It was just the two of them, mother and daughter, plus a ghost.

The reason why Ye Xing took the initiative to help Yotsuya Miko was not only because they were both psychics and needed to work together, but also because there was another crucial reason.

Yotsuya Miko's father's spirit belonged to an extremely special category among all evil spirits and monsters.

When a person dies, if they have extremely strong obsessions, they will turn into a soul body.

Of course, not all spiritual bodies are evil spirits, there are also kind spiritual bodies that are like repeating machines.

And Yotsuya Miko's father, although he was also a soul formed from obsession, possessed the same rationality as he had in life.

Ye Xing wanted to try to communicate with him.

If you want to know information related to spiritual bodies, then the most appropriate thing to do is to ask the spiritual body.

"Supernatural... Quantum Mechanics... Investigation and Research Club?"

Hearing the name of the club that Ye Xing came up with, Yotsuya Miko sighed helplessly and covered her forehead.

If we're talking about the supernatural, then it's definitely supernatural enough, after all, she and he are not normal people.
