Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

Rio Futaba, fearing that Yozora might lose his mind, suppressed the fear in her heart and hurried over.

Looking at the evil spirits in the distance and the kimono-clad ghost so close, the fear she had barely suppressed resurfaced, and she cautiously hid behind Yozora, grabbing the hem of his clothes with both hands, her voice still trembling, but her tone was firm.

"Yo... Yozora, you can't be tempted by her! She, she wants to drain your life force!"

Hearing Rio Futaba's sudden words, Yozora was first stunned, then replied with a speechless expression.

"No, do you guys have some strange misunderstanding about my XP?"

"Last time it was Hachishaku-sama, this time it's this ghost lady."

"I'll emphasize again, I'm a gentleman, I don't like female ghosts at all!"

Rio Futaba's words about devouring a man's life force also made the kimono-clad ghost seem somewhat displeased.

On her elegant and beautiful face, her embroidered eyebrows furrowed slightly as she slowly spoke, her voice gently complaining.

"Little girl, you can't say that. Does this humble one look like one of those unscrupulous demons who would do anything just to absorb a little bit of life force? You're insulting this humble one too much."

Chapter 067: The Contract of the Great Demon Tamamo-no-Mae, Yozora's True Name of the Soul

Listening to the female ghost complaining about her words in a gentle and delicate voice, Rio Futaba suddenly felt a sense of guilt.

There was no other way.

This female ghost, dressed in a kimono, elegantly dressed, and with a classical charm, was simply too beautiful.

Otherwise, Rio Futaba wouldn't have thought that Yozora would be bewitched by this female ghost.

"I'm sorry."

"It's alright."

Hearing Rio Futaba's words, the kimono-clad ghost covered her mouth and chuckled, then looked at Yozora.

"You were actually able to tell that this humble one was testing you. You truly have discerning eyes."

That's right.

In Miko Yotsuya and the others' eyes, the fierce battle between the exorcist and the evil spirit, where both sides went back and forth and refused to give in, was actually just a test.

The evidence was obvious.

Yozora could feel that although the evil spirits in this team were relatively strong in the other world, they were far from being able to make the black mist and other evil spirits retreat in fear.

This meant that what truly made the black mist and other evil spirits avoid them wasn't the number of evil spirits in this team.

But rather the demon sitting in the white cloth carriage, this yokai.

As a professional exorcist, Yozora had also told Miko Yotsuya.

Evil spirits have no bottom line.

Whether it's pretending to beg for mercy on their knees, disguising themselves as humans, or threatening humans with their companions, they are completely capable of doing these things.

Since that's the case, why didn't the kimono-clad woman take action?

Not to mention using Miko Yotsuya as a threat, but Yui Yuigahama and Rio Futaba, two ordinary people in the distance, were excellent targets.

Either the kimono-clad woman was too cautious.

Or she was just testing him, the real goal being to see the true ability of the so-called professional exorcist.

Yozora felt that the second possibility was more likely.

"So now..."

Yozora stared directly into the kimono-clad woman's eyes and slowly spoke.

"Tell me the purpose of you doing all this, even sacrificing dozens of your followers, just to test my ability."

"Hehe, you're very impatient."

The kimono-clad ghost smiled and said softly.

"Perhaps you don't know it yourself, but I've heard about your deeds during this time."

Speaking of this, the kimono-clad ghost paused, looked at the place where the mountain of flesh-like evil spirit had been devoured by Yozora, and said with interest.

"Humans can actually devour evil spirits. This is truly the first time this humble one has heard of it."

"You still haven't said what you want to do. My patience is limited."

Rio Futaba hid behind Yozora, listening to his forceful words, and glanced at the kimono-clad ghost, feeling a little weak in her heart.

Seriously?

Is this how you negotiate with people?

Those who know will know that this is the other world, the home of evil spirits.

Those who don't know will think this is your backyard.

Although she was complaining, Rio Futaba also understood that this was a negotiating tactic, to prevent the other party from knowing her trump cards, so as to relax the conditions for the next step.

She was very clear about Yozora's skills in negotiation.

After all, she was attracted by the activity room and agreed to the other party's trading conditions, step by step to the present, becoming a "victim".

But...

Will evil spirits fall for this trick?

"This humble one was being presumptuous."

To the surprise of Rio Futaba and the others, the kimono-clad ghost actually bowed slightly, politely apologizing.

Good heavens, an evil spirit apologizing to an exorcist?

It's simply like goblins and female elves not interfering with each other.

It's downright strange.

"This humble one is actually here to propose a deal to you."

Hearing this, all the members of the Overdrive Club except for Yozora, including Hachishaku-sama, who was an evil spirit, were very surprised.

An evil spirit wants to make a deal with a human?

Doesn't that sound very ominous?

This ghost lady, you're not really craving Yozora's body, are you?

Seeing that no one responded, the kimono-clad ghost didn't mind, just smiled and looked at Yozora, continuing to speak in a gentle and elegant tone.

"If this humble one is not mistaken, devouring evil spirits should help your strength."

"In that case, this humble one has a win-win proposal."

“I can provide you with information about areas in this world where powerful evil spirits frequently appear, as well as the specific abilities of those spirits and the times they manifest.”

“Of course, I am only responsible for providing information and will not force you to devour these evil spirits. It's entirely up to your own will. How does that sound?”

After hearing this, Ye Xing nodded noncommittally.

“So that's how it is…”

He drawled out the last syllable lazily, a hint of a smile in his eyes as he looked at Riao Futaba beside him, saying nonchalantly.

“Beloved consort, I'm tired. Help me analyze this.”

Hearing the term 'beloved consort,' Riao Futaba's face flushed red instantly, and she bit her silver teeth, saying resentfully.

“Who, who is your beloved consort? Don't call me that randomly.”

Although she said that, Riao Futaba's brain was very honest and immediately began to think about what the kimono-clad ghost had just said.

Evil spirits want to make a deal with humans?

Why?

Since it's a deal, both sides must be able to benefit.

Ye Xing can become stronger by devouring evil spirits.

Then, what benefit would it bring to the kimono-clad ghost if he devoured her own kind?

Riao Futaba's thoughts were constantly turning, combining the known information about the Reverse Side, evil spirits, and spirit power users to analyze the situation.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her, and she remembered a sentence that Miko Yotsuya had unintentionally mentioned when explaining the truth of the world to her on the way here.

“Evil spirits… I've seen some particularly powerful ones that devour their own kind. That scene is disgusting. Although I don't want to admit it, the way they devour is not as elegant as Ye Xing. They're like zombies in movies.”

Zombies, devouring each other?

In Riao Futaba's mind, a thunderous sound seemed to ring out.

The truth, there is only one!

“I understand,”

Riao Futaba mustered her courage, stepped out from behind Ye Xing, looked directly at the kimono-clad ghost's face, pushed up her glasses, and slowly began to speak.

“I suspect that among the evil spirits, there are many powerful beings that do not possess rational thinking abilities like you, but instead have a strong aggressiveness and will indiscriminately devour their own kind to increase their power.”

“And for you, the existence of these evil spirits is equivalent to the vicious madmen in the eyes of ordinary people in the real world who have committed countless heinous crimes.”

“You don't need to offer your own conditions, because as long as the number of these types of evil spirits decreases, it will be beneficial to you.”

“There is also a hidden benefit, which is that after you provide Ye Xing with information about these evil spirits, you two will have established a so-called contract.”

“In this way, Ye Xing will at least not actively devour you and the evil spirits that belong to you.”

“With this ebb and flow, your position in this world will become more stable, right?”

Riao Futaba said so much in one breath that her fair face turned red, and she couldn't even catch her breath.

The kimono-clad ghost and her subordinates, the evil spirits and monsters, as well as Miko Yotsuya and Yui Yuigahama in the distance, were completely shocked by this analysis.

This is too amazing, right?

To be able to analyze so much information in less than four or five seconds based solely on a few words from the kimono-clad ghost?

Miko Yotsuya now understands why Ye Xing insisted on adding the nonsensical 'quantum mechanics' to the club's name in order to lure Riao Futaba into the Supernatural Research Club.

This kind of rational analysis of information and the speed of thinking is not something that a normal high school student… no, not even a normal human being can do, right?

You need to know.

This is Riao Futaba's first time entering the Reverse Side, and even the relevant information about evil spirits was only just learned from Miko Yotsuya.

Under such circumstances, being able to do such an analysis is simply too astonishing.

Looking at the evil spirits shocked by Riao Futaba, as well as Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya, Ye Xing thought that their vision was ultimately too small.

What kind of person is Riao Futaba?

In the original plot, she was able to combine Mai Sakurajima's adolescence syndrome with the theory of quantum mechanics and provide specific solutions.

Riao Futaba's analysis has never been wrong.

What does this mean?

If this were placed in some fantasy world, Riao Futaba would be the kind of causal law powerhouse who speaks and the law follows!

Terrifying, truly terrifying.

The kimono-clad ghost was stunned for a moment before recovering. She took a deep look at Riao Futaba, covered her mouth, and smiled meaningfully.

“Little sister, although you are just an ordinary human, your mind is indeed good. Just as you said, that is my purpose.”

Ye Xing thought that a little sister is a little sister, but…

He glanced at a certain part of the kimono-clad ghost's body.

The other party doesn't seem to be qualified to call Riao Futaba a 'little' sister.

“So, will you accept this deal or not?”

“No problem.”

Ye Xing did not hesitate much and directly gave his answer.

“Then, let's sign the contract.”

Hearing the word 'contract,' Hachishaku-sama standing beside him couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if recalling some memories that she didn't want to remember.
