But it was the exact opposite.

This alley was far too "clean."

Even those harmless, small-sized ghosts were nowhere to be seen.

If not for Ye Xing's words, Miko Yotsuya might have even thought that this alley hid an extremely ancient shrine surrounded by spiritual power.

"Come in, and prepare yourself mentally."

Hearing Ye Xing's words, Miko Yotsuya took a deep breath, suppressed the tension within her chest, obediently nodded, and stepped into the alley.

But the moment she stepped in, her expression instantly changed.

Miko Yotsuya's golden pupils trembled as she looked at the scene before her, unable to believe her eyes.

"This… what is this place?!"

The moment she stepped into the alley, the ordinary alley suddenly underwent an unbelievable change.

The darkness in the depths of the alley seemed to possess life, wriggling and covering the entire sky.

The same black mist that emanated from the evil spirits, but even more concentrated, permeated the entire alley.

Although Miko Yotsuya couldn't smell anything, just being in this environment made her feel suffocated and breathless.

And at the deepest part of the alley, an ancient-looking wooden door, slightly ajar, stood quietly.

From the crack in the door, all Miko Yotsuya could see was pure darkness exuding an aura of nothingness.

Ye Xing's expression was still calm, after all, it wasn't his first time seeing such a sight, he simply said softly.

"That is the door."

Chapter 009: The Resurrected Horror

Miko Yotsuya nervously pursed her lips, looking at the "door" in the distance, feeling the blood flow within her body stagnate at that moment.

"No, no, no, no…"

She muttered to herself repeatedly, fine beads of sweat already appearing on her forehead, her shoulders trembling non-stop, and a deep look of fear in her golden pupils.

"How can there be such a thing in this world…"

Miko Yotsuya now understood why Ye Xing was so calm when facing evil spirits.

All the distorted-faced evil spirits she had seen before, combined, were far less terrifying than the aura emanating from that "door."

This kind of thing should not exist in this world at all.

Even just looking at it from a distance, Miko Yotsuya felt as if her soul was about to be sucked in.

Looking at her expression, Ye Xing didn't rush to speak, but waited until her emotions had eased before smiling and explaining.

"According to my investigation during this period, there is more than one such door in Kyoto City."

"The impact of the door is very simple, that is, to enhance the power of evil spirits and ghosts in the surrounding area, and make them more irritable, and their desire to attack humans becomes stronger."

"As for the range of impact, the smallest is only a few hundred meters, and the largest I have seen can reach a diameter of three kilometers."

Hearing Ye Xing's words, Miko Yotsuya took a deep breath, her eyes showing a look of gravity.

"You mean, as long as there is a door, the surrounding evil spirits will continue to become stronger, and ordinary ghosts that were originally harmless to humans will also be affected and gradually turn into evil spirits that attack humans?"

"Yes, it's not just that."

Ye Xing nodded slightly and continued to add.

"You should also have noticed that for those who can't see them, the damage caused by evil spirits is very limited, at most they possess humans, making their luck worse, their minds unclear, or their ability to control emotions worse."

Speaking of this, Ye Xing changed the subject.

"However, under the influence of the door, the power of evil spirits is more than that."

"In addition to the ability to disguise as human beings and deceive special humans like you, which you have seen before, they can also make people fall into a coma immediately, and there are very few particularly powerful ones…"

Ye Xing looked directly into Miko Yotsuya's eyes, the smile on his face disappeared, and he said word by word.

"They can even possess humans and control all their actions."

Hearing this, Miko Yotsuya was so shocked that her pupils shrank slightly, and she muttered to herself.

"This is simply too terrifying."

She immediately understood that if what Ye Xing said was true, then how much harm would this so-called "door" bring.

Not to mention possessing and controlling human actions, just the fact that it can make people fall into a coma immediately.

For example.

If during the bus's journey, the evil spirit makes the driver fall into a coma, then what will happen next…

Miko Yotsuya didn't dare to imagine such a scene.

Thinking of this, her mood became extremely heavy, and she asked softly.

"Is there any way to make these doors disappear?"

"Of course, there is a way…"

Before Ye Xing could finish speaking, Miko Yotsuya seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly realized.

"Oh right, you can eat the door, right?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, she saw Ye Xing staring at herself with a look as if she was an idiot, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"Um… did I say something wrong?"

"It's true that I think you're a little sick in the head."

Ye Xing rolled his eyes and pointed to the "door" in the distance.

"Please take a good look, although this thing can affect evil spirits, it is made of wood, do you want me to gnaw on wood? Then you might as well go to the Da Ren Xiu to find someone, there should be a professional counterpart there."

Miko Yotsuya smiled awkwardly, her eyes showing a clear and simple foolishness.

"Then what should we do?"

"Burn it with fire."

Ye Xing replied indifferently, then shrugged his shoulders.

"But I didn't bring any tools today, I just brought you to take a look, we'll talk about it later."

"Okay, we'll talk about it later."

After leaving the alley and returning to the crowded street, standing under the warm early spring sunshine, Miko Yotsuya's mood finally relaxed a little.

She glanced at Ye Xing's profile and asked in a low voice.

"By the way… why are you telling me these things?"

Before Ye Xing could speak, Miko Yotsuya waved her hands repeatedly, as if afraid that he would misunderstand something, and explained.

"Of course, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you, if it's really like what you said, the door will indeed bring great harm."

"But you also saw today that besides being able to see those things, I don't have any special abilities."

"To be honest, I don't think I can help you, but instead, I will become a drag."

Hearing Miko Yotsuya's words, Ye Xing just nodded.

"Right now, you are indeed useless."

Hearing this, Miko Yotsuya was stunned for a moment, pouted her lips, thinking that it was one thing for me to say that I was a drag.

But according to common sense, shouldn't you comfort me at this time?

Why did you say it so bluntly, making me feel so embarrassed.

"However."

Noticing the dimness in Miko Yotsuya's eyes, Ye Xing smiled and said.

"If you want to have the ability to fight against evil spirits, I also have a way."

"Eh, really?!"

Miko Yotsuya's heart was shocked, and it was rare to see an excited expression on her usually emotionless and always calm and cute face.

Since she could see evil spirits and ghosts, she had thought of many ways, and had also visited many spiritualists who were said to be very famous, and bought countless amulets, bracelets, rosary beads, and other things.

As a result, besides making her, who didn't have much pocket money in the first place, become even poorer, it was of no use at all.

Now Ye Xing actually said that he could give her the ability to fight against evil spirits?

Miko Yotsuya really found it hard to believe.

Seeing her suspicious look, Ye Xing yawned and explained with a lazy look on his face.

"First of all, let me ask you a question, apart from the special influence of the door, under what circumstances can evil spirits directly harm humans?"

Miko Yotsuya replied cautiously.

"Is it… when they know that humans can see them?"

"That's right."

Ye Xing nodded, then asked again.

"You also saw this morning the scene of me fighting with evil spirits."

Miko Yotsuya thought to herself, can that be considered a fight?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call it one-sided abuse?

Of course, she couldn't say the complaints in her heart, she just nodded obediently.

"Then according to this principle, under the premise that both sides can see each other, is it only evil spirits that can unilaterally harm humans?"

Miko Yotsuya was stunned for a moment, and muttered.

"Could it be said?"

Ye Xing said casually.

"In other words."

"Do you think that this morning, what really caused harm to the evil spirits was the peach wood dagger and silver nails, or me holding the weapons?"

Chapter 010: The Truth About Fighting Evil Spirits

Although Miko Yotsuya's mind was not very good, it was not so dull as to be like a certain famous chuunibyou patient.

After thinking about it for a while, she understood what Ye Xing meant.

"You mean, under the premise of seeing, not only can evil spirits break free from the restriction of not being able to harm humans, but humans can also harm evil spirits?"

Ye Xing nodded slightly: "I can't say for sure, but that's probably the case."

As a transmigrator, Ye Xing could probably infer this point based on the plot progress of the anime Mieruko-chan.

In the original plot, Miko Yotsuya had encountered other spiritualists.

Among them, there was an old woman whose bracelets even had the effect of repelling and avoiding relatively weak evil spirits.

Of course.

That kind of thing is a joke in front of truly powerful evil spirits.

After Ye Xing's personal verification, he also obtained strong evidence to support this argument.

When he met Miko this morning, the words he said to the evil spirits, I can see you, were not just to show off.

Of course, there was also a certain reason for being a chuunibyou.

The main thing is that Ye Xing found that if the evil spirits didn't know that he could "see", he couldn't cause any harm to the evil spirits, and all attacks would directly pass through.

So to speak.

The reason why so many evil spirits appear around Miko Yotsuya is essentially likely because powerhouses like her who possess strong spiritual power make even evil spirits without the ability to think and only act according to instinct feel threatened like a natural enemy.

"Then how can I have the ability to fight against evil spirits?"

Miko Yotsuya's eyes sparkled with hope, and it was rare to see an excited expression on her usually emotionless and always calm and cute face.
