Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

"Then, can I awaken this kind of ability?"

"I think, you should be able to."

"What do you mean 'should'? Isn't there a definite answer?"

"It seems you still don't understand."

Ye Xing patted Yotsuya Miko on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"Miko-san."

Being stared at so intently by him, a strange sense of unease suddenly welled up within Yotsuya Miko.

"W-what is it?"

"You and I are very likely to be the most powerful spiritual ability users in the history of Sakura Province."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"Not really."

Ye Xing shook his head.

"This means that if there are things we ourselves don't understand, evil spirits that neither of us can handle, then even if we search through ancient books, we'll only find some reference information at best. No one can provide us with a solution, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Miko finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

What she and Ye Xing were about to face was very likely to be a bizarre event that had never occurred in the history of Sakura Province.

Or there was another possibility.

Such bizarre riots had happened before.

Thinking of the scene she had just witnessed in the unfinished building, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but recall a legendary tale within Sakura Province.

The Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Relying only on herself and Ye Xing to face such a terrifying future?

Yotsuya Miko suddenly felt her shoulders become much heavier.

Just then.

A drop of rain fell on the ground.

What followed was a continuous, increasingly heavy downpour.

"It's raining."

Ye Xing muttered to himself, looking at the raindrops falling on the ground.

Yotsuya Miko looked puzzled: "The weather forecast didn't say it would rain today."

Ye Xing: "Did you bring an umbrella?"

Yotsuya Miko retorted: "I didn't, what about you?"

"I didn't either."

Ye Xing shook his head, sighing.

"Looks like we're both going to be drenched."

Chapter 030: A Gentleman's Word, More Powerful Than Horses

Half an hour later.

"Excuse me, sorry for the intrusion."

Yotsuya Miko entered the living room cautiously, looking rather reserved.

Seeing her like this, Ye Xing shrugged, smiling nonchalantly.

"Who are you talking to? I'm the only one on my household register."

"Eh? Ye Xing-san, could it be that you are..."

"Stop."

Without even hearing Yotsuya Miko finish, Ye Xing knew what she was about to say.

"Anyway, make yourself at home."

"Okay."

That's right, this was Ye Xing's house.

Due to the sudden downpour, the clothes of the two who had just left the unfinished building were completely soaked.

Ye Xing lived nearby, less than a kilometer away, so he brought Yotsuya Miko back first, which was also a good opportunity to discuss and analyze the information collected after the battle in the unfinished building.

"This is... Ye Xing-san's house?"

Yotsuya Miko looked around the furnishings in the living room, a hint of surprise in her eyes, thinking silently.

Her surprise wasn't because there was anything abnormal here.

On the contrary.

As "Ye Xing's" home, wasn't this two-story building a little too ordinary?

The living room was very clean and tidy, the furniture was not much, but it was arranged very neatly, not messy at all.

The entrance was spotless, with wind chimes hanging.

This overly clean and orderly house made Yotsuya Miko feel that it was completely opposite to the often erratic impression Ye Xing gave.

In her imagination, what would his house be like?

Probably black curtains, black sofa, in short, everything was black.

There must also be a secret room with an ancient seal on the door, from which an ominous and eerie aura emanated.

Now it seemed that she had overthought it.

Yotsuya Miko adjusted her long hair, looked down at her school uniform, which was completely wet.

Even... it was a little see-through.

"Go take a shower."

Ye Xing took out a set of clothes from the next room and placed them on the table.

"After showering, take off your clothes and dry them. Wear mine for now."

"Okay."

Yotsuya Miko was completely drenched, she really needed to take a shower, it was impossible to walk around the room in this wet outfit.

She picked up the clothes on the table and was about to walk towards the bathroom when she suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Xing sitting there with a slightly wary expression.

"You... wouldn't peek, would you?"

"Hey, look at what you're saying, I'm a gentleman."

Seeing Ye Xing looking righteous and stern, before Yotsuya Miko could even breathe a sigh of relief, she heard him immediately change his tone.

"A gentleman's word is more powerful than horses, if I say I'll peek, then I'll definitely peek, you can rest assured."

"You..."

Yotsuya Miko bit her silver teeth, saying resentfully.

"Then I won't shower."

"Oh yo, threatening me? Shower or don't shower, it's up to you, but..."

Ye Xing's gaze lingered on Yotsuya Miko for a moment, waving his hand casually.

"Anyway, there's not much difference with you dressed like this now, right?"

Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko's pretty face instantly turned red.

The quality of Sobu High's school uniform was just like that.

After being wet, even the color of the underwear inside could be vaguely seen.

Not to mention, she was wearing a skirt.

"You... you're ruthless."

Yotsuya Miko gritted her teeth and said, steeling herself to walk into the bathroom.

She took off her wet clothes and placed them on the sink, walked over and turned on the showerhead.

The water, at just the right temperature, poured over her body, allowing Yotsuya Miko, who had first been frightened out of her wits by the evil spirits, then experienced a high-altitude rope-free bungee jump, and finally ended up being drenched by the rain, to finally feel a little comfort.

"Haa..."

Yotsuya Miko let out a long breath, the chill on her body was dispelled a lot.

"What... what exactly is going on today."

She recalled the events that had occurred in the unfinished building, a deep worry in her eyes.

Each of the evil spirits that appeared in that building, if placed outside, would be a powerful existence capable of running rampant.

Plus, there was that snake-like monster with vertical eyes.

Was this all the influence brought by the "Gate"?

Yotsuya Miko turned off the showerhead, picked up the phone on the sink, and searched the internet for the street where the unfinished building was located, combined with the keyword "construction team casualties."

A piece of news that came into view shocked her so much that she covered her mouth.

"This is! ?"

[Major accident occurred at the construction site, the death toll is as high as two hundred and eighty-five people, thirty-seven people are currently being rescued in the hospital.]

The publication date of this news was exactly half a month ago, corresponding to what Ye Xing had said about frequent accidents at the construction site.

Below, detailed information was also added.

The cause of the incident was that several construction workers, for some unknown reason, seemed to have a sudden mental illness and deliberately destroyed the scaffolding.

At the same time, the personnel driving the excavators also lost their minds.

Even though the photos were pixelated, Yotsuya Miko could see that the scene was a bloody mess.

"These guys..."

Looking at the horrific photos of the scene, as well as interviews with the families of the dead and injured, Yotsuya Miko bit her silver teeth tightly, both hands clenched into fists.

Ye Xing had written in his notebook that the evil spirits affected by the "Gate" can, to a certain extent, influence, or even directly manipulate the actions of the possessed person.

One person or two people, that might just be a simple coincidence.

But seven or eight construction workers simultaneously losing their minds and doing things that defy common sense?

This was obviously something done by the evil spirits.

Yotsuya Miko finally understood that hundreds of such powerful evil spirits would be entrenched in that unfinished building.

Through the influence of the evil spirits, a large number of humans in the nearby area died.

Then, through the evil spirits formed after the unjust deaths of humans, they enhanced their influence on the surrounding area.

A ghost domain was formed in this way.

Could it be that the "Gate" is a kind of existence with the ability to think and independent intelligence?

Yotsuya Miko shook her head, temporarily putting aside the thoughts in her mind, and picked up the bottle of shampoo placed on the shelf.

When she wanted to apply the shampoo to her hair, her hand froze in mid-air.

If she washes her hair...

It seems like she has to close her eyes.

Yotsuya Miko knew clearly that Ye Xing was sitting in the living room outside, and there was a high probability that no evil spirits would appear in this room.

But knowing is knowing, fear is still fear.

Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a long time, and finally, enduring her shyness, she opened her mouth.

"Um... Ye Xing-san?"
