Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

No one wants to be a saint who gives unconditionally.

But everyone hopes that there will be more saints in this world who are willing to help others unconditionally.

This kind of Yotsuya Miko is also pretty good.

After exiting the train station, Yozora led Yotsuya Miko to a commercial street and found the shop where he had previously bought the amulet.

As expected.

The old man with white hair and a seemingly immortal demeanor was sitting in the shop leisurely smoking a cigarette.

Yotsuya Miko glanced around, only to see that although the shop was not big, the variety of goods on the shelves was quite extensive.

Amulets, bracelets,辟邪 necklaces, rosaries, and statues of gods were all available.

"Hey, old geezer."

Yozora walked to the counter without any politeness, took out the stack of amulets from his pocket, and slammed them heavily on the counter, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Return, refund."

"Eh?"

When Yozora stepped into the store, the old man originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard that he wanted a return and refund, a look of surprise appeared on his deeply wrinkled old face.

"I say, young man, don't be so aggressive. This amulet definitely has its use."

After saying this, the old man's eyes swept behind Yozora a few times, as if he was looking for something.

This subtle detail did not escape Yozora's notice.

He thought to himself, "As expected," pulled a chair from the side, sat down opposite the old man, and slowly opened his mouth.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should be a genuine spiritualist, right?"

The old man smiled and nodded, looking like a respected elder.

"Look at what you're saying. When I was young, I was also..."

"Alright, stop bragging."

Yozora didn't give the other party a chance to boast about his romantic past, but slowly opened his mouth.

"You should have real goods in this store, but the fact that you would sell me this completely useless fake proves that you are a genuine spiritualist."

"Because you can see, or rather, cannot see, any ghosts or evil spirits around me."

Chapter 017: A Transaction with an Exorcist

Hearing these words, the old man's mercenary smile gradually disappeared, and he sized up Yozora with interest.

"It seems that you are also a rather special person."

"Wait a moment."

Listening to the conversation between the two, Yotsuya Miko looked confused and couldn't help but ask.

"What do you mean by this old gentleman being a genuine spiritualist, so he sold you fake goods? I can't understand the logic behind this."

Yozora shrugged, explaining indifferently.

"Generally speaking, people who claim to have spiritual power and make exorcism their career are divided into two types."

"The first type is completely ignorant charlatans."

"Since they can open such a shop on this commercial street, it's unlikely to be this type. Besides, you should also be able to notice that some things in this shop do have spiritual power, right?"

Yotsuya Miko nodded upon hearing this.

From the moment she entered this shop, she had already discovered it.

Although not many, some of the goods displayed on the shelves emitted a faint light.

This is a genuine manifestation of having the effect of exorcising evil spirits.

Of course, for the evil spirits that Yotsuya Miko usually sees, these things are just better than nothing.

Yozora paused for a while, giving Yotsuya Miko ample time to think, and then continued.

"And the second type is people who are quite capable, and the goods in their store can indeed ward off evil."

"Do you mean that this old gentleman belongs to the second type?"

To Yotsuya Miko's surprise, Yozora shook his head.

"No, he's the third type."

"The third type?"

"The so-called third type..."

Yozora looked at the old man sitting behind the counter and slowly opened his mouth.

"The third type is the true spiritualist who can see whether the customers who come to buy goods are entangled by evil spirits."

"If that's the case, then they'll take people's money and help them avoid disaster."

"If there are no evil spirits around the customer, then it's just a simple psychological effect. At this time, they can just sell something to have a placebo effect."

After listening to Yozora's words, Yotsuya Miko nodded as if she had suddenly understood.

So, that's how it is.

She thought that Yozora came here today just to get a refund, but it turned out that this was the main purpose.

"Young man, it seems you understand quite a bit."

The old man revealed a smile and put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Oda Noto."

Yozora nodded slightly.

"Yeah, my name is Yozora, and this is Yotsuya Miko."

Oda Noto had a kind smile on his face, but before he could speak, Yozora's next sentence almost made him unable to hold back.

"Noto? Good name, I'll call you Old Geezer from now on."

Oda Noto sighed helplessly, thinking, "Aren't you always calling me Old Geezer? What's the difference?"

"Now that we've laid everything out."

Yozora's fingers lightly tapped the countertop, making a rhythmic sound.

"Then I'll ask directly, what's the most effective product you have here for dealing with evil spirits? Take out some real stuff."

"Want to see real stuff?"

Oda Noto sized up Yozora deeply, pondered for a while, then turned and entered the warehouse behind him.

After the other party left, Yotsuya Miko finally found a chance to approach Yozora and lowered her voice.

"Um... with your ability, there's no need to spend money to buy these things, right?"

"Far from it."

Yozora yawned, looking a little lazy as if he hadn't woken up yet.

"If I can find a more effective weapon, I can save some effort when fighting."

"Oh yo, you rhymed."

Yotsuya Miko nodded, thinking that made sense.

Indeed, he rhymed.

No, no, no.

The focus is on the first sentence.

She had personally seen how Yozora fought with evil spirits, and had also seen the experiences that the other party had summarized.

Ordinary weapons, no matter what material they are made of, cannot cause any substantial damage to evil spirits, and they can recover quickly, so they can only play a supporting role.

Yotsuya Miko wasn't sure if Yozora's devouring ability could be used indefinitely.

But after thinking about it carefully, there should still be limitations, right?

There will always be times when he can't eat anymore.

Besides...

Those evil spirits look like abstract paintings, and she doesn't understand how Yozora can bring himself to eat them.

If she could really find a weapon with the ability to destroy evil spirits, then not only could Yozora use it, but she could also get one to keep by her side, just in case.

While Yotsuya Miko was secretly pondering, Oda Noto walked out slowly, holding a simple-looking long sword that looked very old.

"This should meet your needs."

Oda Noto gently placed the long sword on the counter. The bright blade, not covered by the scabbard, reflected a ray of cold light.

"This is! ?"

In the eyes of ordinary people, although this long sword is very sharp, because it is too old, and the several large and small gaps on the blade make it not look good, let alone call it a famous sword.

However, Yotsuya Miko, who possessed the yin-yang eyes, could clearly see it.

This long sword exuded a dense red mist like blood.

Just by glancing at it, she could feel the extraordinary nature of this long sword.

"How much money? I'll buy it."

Hearing Yozora's words, Oda Noto waved his hand with a smile, meaningfully.

"I'll give it to you as a token of my sincerity. Leave a contact number, okay?"

"Alright."

Yozora seemed to have expected the other party to say this, told Oda Noto his mobile phone number, and then added.

"Now that you've given me the sword, get me a scabbard too."

"Are you trying to take advantage of me?"

Oda Noto complained, but his body was very honest. He took out a wooden scabbard and handed it to Yozora while instructing him.

"By the way, the sword is sharpened, so you can't take it on the train. Be careful."

"Okay, Old Geezer, I'll contact you again when I have time."

Yozora put the long sword into the scabbard, and without any hesitation, directly pulled Yotsuya Miko, who hadn't figured out the situation, away.

Oda Noto watched the backs of the two, lit another cigarette, and took a hard puff.

As an experienced exorcist, he had obtained a lot of valuable information from his conversation with Yozora just now.

First of all, the other party knew that the amulet he gave was fake and useless.

Secondly, from his observation, Yozora was not entangled by evil spirits.

And most importantly, the surprise revealed in Yotsuya Miko's eyes when she saw the long sword.

Combining these details, he had already guessed that these two young people, who looked like high school students, were spiritualists like him.

And...

The other party may possess the ability to truly eliminate those "things" that he does not have.

Chapter 018: The Ghost of Miko's Father

At the same time, on the commercial street.

Yotsuya Miko saw Yozora tie the long sword directly around his waist, without any intention of concealing it, and couldn't help but remind him in a low voice.

"Isn't it a little bad to be so blatant? What if someone finds out..."

Yozora waved his hand casually: "Do you see anyone staring at us?"

Yotsuya Miko glanced around and nodded.

"Yes, there are quite a few people staring at you."
