Chapter 137 Fun
With the advice of Xia Yu and others, the evil spirit Xia Yu quickly figured it out. He was not a Pacific police officer, so why should he be so concerned about other people's affairs?
The only person he cares about now is Yotsuya Miko, and perhaps the people around her. As for the mountain god of the shrine and the two fox girls bound by the mountain god, although he has the ability to save them now, that will involve even greater trouble.
Those two fox girls were indeed pitiful, but Xia Yu didn't think he was so noble as to face even greater trouble in order to save them.
What's more, decades have passed, so a few years won't make a difference. When he becomes stronger in the future, he might be kind enough to deal with the mountain god and save them.
He can choose to help others because he does not want to see suffering, or he can choose to stand idly by or use some despicable means for some benefits.
Do what you want without breaking the rules. This is his own principle of doing things. Of course, these rules are his own rules, not rules set by others.
After thinking it through, Xia Yu felt relieved. Why should he participate in the plot? He didn't have a system that could earn rewards by following the plot.
Besides, the plot has been changed by him a long time ago. Until the latest drawing, Miko in the plot is still a powerless high school girl.
"Mr. Xia, you seem to be in a good mood today?" Yotsuya Miko, who was walking home with Xia Yu, suddenly tilted her head slightly and said.
"Oh? You figured this out." Xia Yu smiled at Jianzi.
"Um……"
Jianzi didn't reply . In her eyes, Xia Yu's tentacles were particularly active today. Although he was usually very active, today's tentacles seemed to be affected by his mood, so he was waving so happily.
If we put it into the human perspective, it’s like a person in a good mood, even walking more briskly.
"The main reason is that you did a great job today. It gave me the feeling of raising a Pokémon. Well, I decided it would be you, Yotsuya Miko."
As he spoke, Xia Yu scratched his head with his tentacles, as if he was wearing the hat of a super rookie.
“…”
Yotsuya Kenko's face was filled with black lines when she heard this. How did she become a Pokémon? Wait, Mr. Xia actually knew about Pokémon?
"Mr. Xia, do you know Pokémon too?"
"...I'm not an old antique who stays indoors." Xia Yu said speechlessly, "I was a person before, so I naturally know these things."
"Then... Mr. Xia, how old were you when you became a spirit?" Jianzi asked in a low voice.
Originally, she wanted to ask directly when Mr. Xia died, but she felt that this was not very polite, so she changed the way she said it.
"Well... it's not much older than you."
He was not , and he didn't even have a girlfriend. According to his life trajectory before traveling through time, he would probably become a great magician in a few years.
Tsk, I wonder if I can get rid of the identity of a great magician after consolidating my body.
Now that he has no physical body, even if he can condense a physical body, can he still do that kind of thing? Hmm... why did he travel through time and space and become an evil spirit?
Xia Yu fell into doubt about his life, while Jianzi beside him suddenly felt sad.
He is not much older than her, which means Mr. Xia is still a young man with a bright future ahead of him. However, no one knows what happened to him that led to his current appearance.
The same might be true for the other ghosts. Should she just face them properly?
Looking at Xia Yu beside him, Yotsuya Miko stared at him seriously, as if he wanted to see through his essence.
This eager gaze made Xia Yu feel a little uncomfortable. He looked at Jianzi strangely and said, "What are you doing? I'm really uncomfortable with you staring at me like this."
"Ah." Yotsuya Miko came back to her senses and said a little embarrassedly, "Sorry, I just wanted to take a good look at Mr. Xia and try to face you properly."
"Then you should look at them instead of me. I don't look scary."
Hearing this, Jianzi silently glanced at Xia Yu's waving tentacles and said nothing.
As if seeing Jianzi's thoughts, Xia Yu pointed to a place not far ahead and said, "Look over there, that's the kind of thing you should face."
Hearing this, Jianzi looked in the direction where Xia Yu's tentacles extended, and saw a fat evil spirit lying on a vending machine. It looked like a white radish, with a pair of jeans loosely falling on its swollen knees.
The evil spirit had its head pressed against the glass of the vending machine, and there were seven or eight short, thin tentacles like elephant trunks on its back.
"It's icy... cool..."
“Slurp~Slurp~”
As if noticing someone was looking at it, the evil spirit pulled its head off the glass with a popping sound.
“Ice-cold…”
The elephant's trunk tentacles, like seaweed, stretched out from its mouthparts and flew freely in the air. Sticky liquid dripped from the trunk and onto its fat body.
His height of about three meters is extremely oppressive, and his expressionless face can be seen.
"So, aren't we going to face them properly?" Xia Yu gloated from the side. This kind of thing couldn't disgust him.
Yotsuya Miko twitched her lips and turned her eyes away: "No, how can I face this thing..."
"Can you see?"
Suddenly, the evil spirit seemed to have heard Jianzi's words, and its entire face skin began to peel off starting from its mouth, as if the flesh and blood inside were being squeezed out, revealing the sticky flesh beneath the skin.
Seeing this scene, Jianzi's face darkened again. Looking at this kind of thing was really a torture to the mind.
"Can you see it?"
The skinned evil spirit was dripping with sticky liquid and walked towards Jianzi step by step. Jianzi pointed his sword finger with disgust on his face and attacked the evil spirit.
A battle between psychics and evil spirits began .
But to outsiders, it looked like a young girl suddenly put two fingers together and started waving them at a vending machine, which was a bit childish.
A moment later, with Xia Yu's assistance, the evil spirit was riddled with holes from the attack, and finally fell to the ground with a loud bang and died, turning into a spreading evil spirit.
These negative energies were absorbed by Jianzi into the mark. All attacks consume energy, so naturally they need to be replenished.
"Not bad, not bad, but your attack speed is a bit slow. If I hadn't assisted you, you would probably have to escape and attack at the same time." Xia Yu commented after the battle.
"Phew, I see."
While answering, Jianzi was also breathing heavily to recover her strength. Then she bought a bottle of drink from the vending machine, opened it and gulped it down.
"This has been licked by that evil spirit, how can you still drink it?" Xia Yu suddenly said slowly.
“Pfft…cough cough!!”
When he thought of the appearance of the evil spirit just now, he vomited out the urine and then kept coughing.
After she recovered her breath, she looked at Xia Yu with some resentment: "I was clearly licking the glass and didn't touch the drink at all. Do you think it's so fun to tease me? Mr. Xia..."
"Yeah, it's fun." Xia Yu nodded seriously.
Jianzi: “…”
Mr. Xia is so annoying!
