Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“What exactly is going on outside?”

Ye Xing remained calm and composed. He first instructed the Pale Ghost Hand to pin Hachishaku firmly against the wall before slowly explaining.

“Have you ever wondered why ‘doors’ are shaped like doors?”

This question left Yui Yuigahama, who was unaware of the inside story, completely dumbfounded.

Why are doors shaped like doors?

Why are fish fish?

Why are people people?

You are not a fish, how do you know the joy of a fish?

You are not me, how do you know I don't know the joy of a fish?

You are not me, how do you know I don't know if you know the joy of a fish?

You are not me…

Infinite recursion?

Does Ye Xing also have a background in philosophy?

Miko Yotsuya shook her head and replied directly.

“To be honest, I've never thought about that.”

Ye Xing shrugged.

“Now it seems that the influence of ‘doors’ on evil spirits and ghosts may not originate from the ‘door’ itself, but from another world it connects to.”

“Another world!?”

Hearing this, Yui Yuigahama finally couldn't help but ask.

“Could it be that we are now in another world?”

“It should be.”

As a transmigrator, Ye Xing knew too many bizarre settings.

Since evil spirits and ghosts exist, it wouldn't be strange for a Silent Hill-like otherworld version of Kyoto to exist as well.

“So, in other words…”

Miko Yotsuya pondered.

“That power that causes evil spirits and ghosts to mutate through ‘doors’ is actually just the influence of the aura emanating from the cracks when connected to another world?”

While analyzing this, Miko Yotsuya felt a chill run down her spine.

Just the aura emanating from another world through ‘doors’ can cause such great harm.

And now…

They had actually come to another world similar to Kyoto, yet completely different?

Then what terrifying monsters are hidden within the thick black mist of this world?

“Anyway, we're already here.”

Ye Xing spread his hands.

“You guys go into the room and rest for a while. Leave the living room to me as my private space.”

He turned his gaze to Hachishaku, who was pinned to the wall, and gave a kind smile.

“I think…”

“No way, no way, absolutely not!”

Miko Yotsuya was so anxious that she almost jumped up from the sofa, quickly stopping him.

“What do you want to do? Don't tell me you're being seduced by this evil spirit? Have you forgotten her true face?”

Miko Yotsuya's worries were not unfounded.

In some legends, Hachishaku seduces underage boys and kills them.

Although Ye Xing wasn't exactly a boy, he was indeed underage.

If he were to be seduced by Hachishaku, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“What are you thinking? I have a bottom line, okay?”

Seeing Ye Xing's righteous demeanor, Miko Yotsuya hadn't even had time to breathe a sigh of relief when she heard him continue.

“My bottom line is that everything is okay except for the Monkey King.”

Chapter 039: Interrogating Hachishaku-sama

Half an hour later, inside the bedroom.

“I see.”

After listening to Miko Yotsuya's explanation, Yui Yuigahama nodded slightly, looking as if she understood.

“So, the things you and Ye Xing usually talk about are these kinds of things. I thought… hehe.”

Seeing that Yui Yuigahama was still so innocent and naive at this time, Miko Yotsuya couldn't help but roll her eyes and said unhappily.

“Aren't you scared at all?”

“I am scared, but being scared is useless.”

Miko Yotsuya's eyes showed a hint of surprise, thinking that Yui Yuigahama was quite strong. If it were a normal girl, she would have been frightened and started wailing.

Of course, it might also be because she was too thick-skinned.

“Anyway, the good news is that Auntie wasn't brought in here. Hachishaku and we are all in this other world. You don't have to worry about her safety.”

Just as Miko Yotsuya finished speaking, they suddenly heard a woman's sobbing from the living room outside the door.

Following that was Ye Xing's sneering tone, which had a strong villainous connotation.

“Crying? Crying still counts as time!”

The two girls and the dog were all silent.

After a long while, Yui Yuigahama came back to her senses and cautiously asked.

“Um… is it really okay to leave that Hachishaku alone with Ye Xing?”

Miko Yotsuya shook her head, her expression calm.

“You don't have to worry about Ye Xing. Judging from Hachishaku's attitude when she first saw him, she should be very afraid of him.”

“Is that so… that's good.”

Yui Yuigahama chuckled twice, thinking that she wasn't worried about Ye Xing.

Looking at the current situation, the one who should be worried about is Hachishaku, right?

The sobbing in the living room continued to sound, followed by the woman's trembling voice.

…

After nearly an hour.

“You can come out now.”

Hearing Ye Xing's words, Yui Yuigahama and Miko Yotsuya, who had long been curious about the situation in the living room, quickly opened the bedroom door and walked out.

As soon as they entered the living room, the two girls were a little dumbfounded by the scene before them.

Ye Xing was sitting on the sofa, with his legs crossed, looking satisfied.

And the tall… no, now she looked slightly shorter, shrinking from nearly two and a half meters to just over two meters. Her figure had become somewhat blurry, and her clothes were disheveled. Hachishaku was cowering in the corner, looking timid.

The two girls exchanged glances, both seeing the same confusion in each other's eyes as they felt themselves.

Who exactly is the evil spirit, and who is the human?

Those who knew would know that Ye Xing was interrogating the evil spirit Hachishaku.

If someone didn't know, it would look like Gao Ya Nei and Lin Niangzi from the Water Margin, giving off a strange atmosphere of successfully seducing someone else's wife.

“Hey.”

Miko Yotsuya approached Ye Xing, reached out and tugged at his sleeve, lowering her voice.

“What exactly did you do?”

Ye Xing said confidently.

“Interrogation.”

“How can interrogation be done like this?”

“Oh, it's very simple.”

Ye Xing's voice was smiling as he slowly spoke an astonishing statement that made Miko Yotsuya feel a chill.

“I told her that every time I asked a question, if I didn't get an answer, I would devour a part of her.”

“Of course, I was still able to control it. Each time, I made sure that she could feel the pain, but wouldn't dissipate because of it.”

“This other world is really different from our usual world. The recovery speed of evil spirits is much faster, which makes it easier for me to do things.”

“See, it only took a little over an hour, devouring her about less than two hundred times, and she honestly confessed.”

Miko Yotsuya was horrified and couldn't help but gasp.

This method of torture…

Isn't it just slow slicing?

No wonder.

No wonder the previously fierce Hachishaku had become like this now.

Who could withstand this?

Just listening to Ye Xing's narration made Miko Yotsuya feel a chill, and she even suspected that this guy was a bit of a psychopath.

“Oh, no, I can't.”

At this moment, Ye Xing suddenly supported his forehead, looking exhausted, with a tired expression on his face, and collapsed on the sofa.

Seeing this, Yui Yuigahama quickly ran over, and she and Miko Yotsuya anxiously said in unison.

“What's wrong?”

“No, no.”

Ye Xing waved his hand, with obvious pain between his eyebrows.

“After summoning the Ghost Hand twice, and maintaining it for so long, I can no longer suppress the side effects of the evil spirit's power. I have no combat ability.”

“No, no, I'm going to lose control.”

Ye Xing clenched his teeth, looking like he was enduring severe pain, which made Miko Yotsuya feel like her heart was being squeezed.

“Red is destruction, blue is indifference, green is disguise, white is nothingness, yellow…”

“Yellow, what is yellow again?”

Ye Xing muttered to himself, the painful expression on his face suddenly disappearing.

“Oh right, yellow is to send to me.”

“Huh?”

Miko Yotsuya and Yui Yuigahama were both stunned.

Wasn't he about to lose control?

Didn't he have no combat ability?

He's better so quickly?

What's the situation?

Ye Xing looked at Hachishaku, who was cowering in the corner without the slightest movement, looking timid, and nodded with satisfaction.
