"Inside?" Yotsuya Miko looked into the depths of the alley and couldn't help but frown. It wasn't because she saw a lot of evil spirits. Quite the opposite. This alley is so "clean". Even those small, harmless ghosts and monsters are completely invisible. If it weren't for what Yohoshi said, Yotsuya Miko would even think that there was an extremely ancient shrine surrounded by spiritual power hidden in this alley. "Come in and be prepared." Hearing Ye Xing's words, Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his chest, nodded obediently, and stepped into the alley. Just one step forward, and her expression changed instantly.
Yotsuya Miko's golden pupils trembled as she looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. “What…what is this place!?” The moment she stepped into the alley, the originally ordinary alley suddenly underwent unbelievable changes for Yotsuya Miko. The darkness deep in the alley seemed to have life, wriggling and covering the entire sky. The same black mist as that emanating from the evil spirit, but even thicker, spread throughout the entire alley. Although Yotsuya Miko couldn't smell anything, she felt suffocated just by staying in this environment. And at the deepest part of the alley, a wooden door with a simple appearance and a sense of age, half-open, stands there quietly. Through the crack in the door, all Yotsuya Miko could see was pure darkness emitting an aura of nothingness. Ye Xing's expression was still calm. After all, this was not the first time he had seen such a scene. He just spoke softly. "That's the door." 009 The Strangeness of Resurrection Yotsuya Miko pursed her lips nervously, looking at the "door" in the distance, and felt that the blood flow in her body had stopped at this moment. "No, no, no, no..." She kept muttering to herself, beads of sweat had already seeped out of her forehead, her shoulders kept shaking, and her golden pupils revealed a deep fear. "How can there be such a thing in this world..." Yotsuya Miko now finally understood why Ye Xing reacted so calmly when facing the evil spirit. All the evil spirits with distorted faces she had seen before combined were far less terrifying than the "door" in front of her. This kind of thing shouldn't exist in this world. Even if she was just watching from a distance, Yotsuya Miko felt as if her soul was being sucked in.
Looking at her expression, Ye Xing did not rush to speak, but waited until her emotions calmed down before explaining with a smile. "According to my investigations during this period, there is more than one such door in Kyoto City." "The effect of the door is simple. It increases the power of evil spirits and ghosts in the surrounding area, and makes them more violent and more eager to attack humans." "As for the affected area, the smallest is only a few hundred meters, and the largest area I have seen is almost three kilometers in diameter." After hearing what Ye Xing said, Yotsuya Kenko took a deep breath, his eyes heavy. "You mean, as long as there is a door, the evil spirits around it will continue to grow stronger, and ordinary ghosts that are harmless to humans will also be affected and gradually become evil spirits that attack humans?" "Well, it's more than that." Ye Xing nodded slightly and continued to add. "You should have discovered that for those who cannot see, the harm caused by evil spirits is very limited. At most, they will possess humans and make their luck worse, their minds unclear, or their ability to control their emotions worse." Having said that, Ye Xing changed the subject. "However, under the influence of the door, the power of the evil spirit is more than that." "In addition to the ability you've seen before, which is to disguise as a human and deceive special humans like you, they can also make people fall into a coma immediately. Some of the more powerful ones..." Ye Xing looked directly into Yotsuya Miko's eyes, the smile on her face disappeared, and she spoke word by word. "It can even possess a human being and control all of that person's actions." When Yotsuya Kenko heard this, his pupils shrank slightly in shock and he muttered to himself. "This is just, so terrible." She immediately understood how much harm this so-called "door" would bring if what Ye Xing said was true. Not to mention the fact that it can possess and manipulate human actions, just the fact that it can make people fall into a coma immediately. for example. If the evil spirit makes the driver fall into a coma while the bus is driving, then what happens next... Yotsuya Miko didn't even 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 his words, Yotsuya Miko seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized it. "Oh yeah, you can eat the door, right?" Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, she saw Ye Xing staring at her as if she were a fool, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. "Um...did I say something wrong?"
"It is true that you are a little seriously ill." Yexing rolled his eyes and pointed to the "door" in the distance. "Please take a good look at this thing. Although it can affect evil spirits, it is made of wood. You want me to chew wood? Why don't you go to a talent show and find someone who can help you? There should be professionals there." Yotsuya Miko smiled awkwardly, with a clear and simple stupidity in her eyes. "so what should I do now?" "Use fire." Ye Xing replied calmly, then shrugged. "But I didn't bring any tools today. I just took you to have a look. We'll talk later." "Okay, let's talk about it later." Only when they left the alley and returned to the busy street, standing under the warm early spring sunshine, did Yotsuya Miko feel a little relaxed. She stole a glance at Ye Xing's profile and asked in a low voice. "Why are you telling me these things?" Without waiting for Ye Xing to speak, Yotsuya Kenko waved his hands and explained, as if he was afraid that he had misunderstood something. "Of course, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you. If it's really as you said, the door will indeed cause great harm." "But as you saw today, I don't have any special abilities other than being able to see those things." "To be honest, I don't think I can help you in any way. Instead, I will become a hindrance." Hearing what Yotsuya Miko said, Ye Xing just nodded. "You are really useless right now." Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Kenko was stunned for a moment, curled his lips, and thought to himself, saying that I am a drag is one thing. But according to common sense, shouldn't you comfort her at this time? Why do you say it so bluntly? It makes me feel embarrassed. "but." Noticing Yotsuya Miko's dimming eyes, Ye Xing smiled. "If you want to have the ability to fight against evil spirits, I have a way." "Eh, really?!" Yotsuya Kenko was shocked, but he obviously didn't believe what Yexing said. Since she was able to see evil spirits and ghosts, she had thought of many ways and visited many psychics who were said to be very famous. She had bought countless amulets, bracelets, rosaries and the like. As a result, it had no effect at all except making her, who already had limited pocket money, even poorer.
Now Ye Xing actually said that he could give him the ability to fight against evil spirits? Yotsuya Miko really found it hard to believe. Seeing her skeptical look, Ye Xing yawned and explained lazily. "First, let me ask you a question. Apart from the special influence of the door, under what circumstances can evil spirits directly cause harm to humans?" Yotsuya Miko replied cautiously. "Yes... knowing that humans can see them?" "Yes." Ye Xing nodded, and then asked again. "You also saw me fighting the evil spirit this morning." Yotsuya Miko wondered if that could be considered a battle. Would it not be more appropriate to call it one-sided abuse? Of course, she couldn't say the complaints in her heart out loud, so she just nodded obediently. "So according to this logic, in a situation where both parties can see, only evil spirits can unilaterally harm humans?" Yotsuya Kenko was stunned for a moment and muttered. "Could it be that?" Ye Xing said nonchalantly. "In other words." "Do you think who actually caused damage to the evil spirit this morning was the mahogany dagger and the silver nail, or was it me holding the weapon?" 010 The truth about fighting evil spirits Although Yotsuya Miko's intelligence is not very good, it is not as dull as a certain famous chuunibyou patient. After just a little thought, she understood what Ye Xing meant. "You mean, under the premise of what you saw, not only can evil spirits break free from the restriction of not harming humans, but humans can also harm evil spirits?" Ye Xing nodded slightly: "I dare not say it is definitely right, but it is likely to be so." As a time traveler, Ye Xing can probably infer this based on the plot of the anime Yin Yang Yan Jian Zi. In the original plot, Yotsuya Miko met other psychics. Among them, there was an old lady who made a bracelet that even had the effect of making weaker evil spirits retreat and hide. of course. That kind of thing would be a joke in front of a truly powerful evil spirit.
After Ye Xing's personal verification, the argument he put forward was supported by strong evidence. When he met Jianzi this morning, he said to the evil spirits, "I can see you", not to show off. Of course, there are certain reasons for this, including the second-year syndrome. The most important thing is that Ye Xing discovered that if the evil spirits didn’t know that he could “see”, he would not be able to cause any harm to them, and all attacks would pass through directly. so.
