Crossover Anime: Miss, please don't do this, I still have a silly cat to raise.

But like the previous Buddhist prayer beads or blessing bracelets, it's unknown whether they will be effective against powerful ghosts.

"Yes, she's quite an interesting old lady." Lu Nan walked ahead of Yotsuya Miko, leading the cat on his hand, unaware that Yotsuya Miko was secretly taking pictures with her phone.

"Is there anywhere else we want to go?"

Lu Nan's sudden turn startled Yotsuya Miko. Fortunately, she had just finished taking a round of photos and was cleaning up the blurry ones, otherwise the secret filming would have been discovered.

Yotsuya Miko casually swiped her phone twice, then held it up to Lu Nan and said, "Next, I want to go and take a look here."

Lu Nan leaned closer: "Sanko-no-Kou Shrine? A shrine?"

Yotsuya Miko nodded: "Yes, this is one of the closer shrines to here, I think it would be good to go and take a look."

"Alright, let's go take a look." Lu Nan had no objections; it was just accompanying Yotsuya Miko anyway, so it didn't matter where they went.

"Speaking of which, don't you already have a talisman? Why do you still want to go to the shrine?" Lu Nan asked curiously.

Yotsuya Miko pursed her lips: "Actually, it's because of Xiaohua. For some reason, she easily attracts unclean things, and she can't see them herself. I'm afraid she'll get into danger because of it..."

Lu Nan knew who she was talking about—the girl who could eat as much as Lao Ba, but had a better figure and was younger than Lao Ba.

"I see..."

Could it be that his love of food stems from the presence of strange objects around him? And what about Old Eight...?

That's not right. Judging from the yang energy in Grand Blue, ghosts would probably stay away. Lao Ba is probably just a big eater.

Yotsuya Miko nodded: "And recently, it seems she's been haunted by a very powerful demon, and it seems to be getting stronger every day..."

Yotsuya Miko shuddered with lingering fear: "I felt that things couldn't continue like this, so I came out to see if there was any way to solve the problem."

Actually, if it weren't for the chance encounter with Ronan today, Yotsuya Miko would have come looking for him within a couple of days.

"Shall we head to that shrine now?" Lu Nan nodded, not saying anything more about helping out. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but based on what Yotsuya Miko said, that guy was probably quite formidable.

If he were to do it, it might cause quite a stir, and just because he can help once doesn't mean he can help others anytime, anywhere.

Lu Nan also had some impression of Baihechuan, a very timid girl. If she knew that ghosts were approaching her at any time, she would probably be doomed for the college entrance examination in a few months.

"Okay, I've called Xiaohua too. Let's meet at the shrine. Hopefully, we can resolve this matter completely today..."

......

It's said to be not far, but you still have to take a bus to get there.

After getting off the train, what I saw on the south side of the road was a desolate, uninhabited wild mountain. Even the path leading up the mountain was covered with fallen leaves and dust, clearly indicating that few people came here.

"Hey Yotsuya-kun, is this really right?" Lu Nan turned his head and glanced at Yotsuya Miko. "Isn't this a bit too desolate?"

He was almost reluctant to put Dai Miao down, wondering what if she stepped in some wild dog poop? Dai Miao never wears shoes.

Yotsuya Miko glanced uncertainly at the unreliable navigation on her phone: "It's definitely here..."

But Lu Nan is right, it is indeed too desolate, and even seems a little eerie because of it.

"Hey~ Jianzi~" Xiaohua jumped out of the car and ran over waving from afar.

Lu Nan could see that Yotsuya Miko's expression became almost instantly indifferent, as if she had lost all emotion.

It seems that the ghost is still by Yurikawa's side, and it's probably even scarier now.

Lu Nan thought for a moment and then had Dai Miao take out a request form and hand it to Yotsuya Miko.

"If things don't look good later, just sign this thing. Putting your fingerprint on it should be fine too," Lu Nan said slyly, instructing Yotsuya Miko to put the things away safely.

After all, with the help of the gathering place, Lu Nan could see the ghost without consuming as much energy, thanks to the power designated by the gathering place.

Yotsuya Miko nodded, and just as she put away the commission form, Yurikawa Hana grabbed her arm.

Looking at the two of them, Lu Nan couldn't help but think of Lao Ba and Hua Lian. Speaking of which, is Xiao Lei always going to have a Da Lei friend by his side? What a strange combination.

"Oh, so Lu Nan is here too." Baihechuanhua looked at Lu Nan and Daimiao in surprise.

After nodding slightly in greeting, Lu Nan continued to look around. He felt that something was off about this mountain; there was a strange, rotten smell in the air, much like the smell of the woman he had met in the coffee shop.

Yurikawa glanced at Lu Nan and then at Yotsuya Miko, then leaned close to Yotsuya Miko's ear with a hint of teasing and said, "Could it be that you and Lu Nan are on a date? Then why did you ask me to be a third wheel? Do you want a wingman?"

Yotsuya Miko blushed slightly and muttered, "Don't talk nonsense, we just happened to run into each other and went out to play together."

Yuri Kawana nodded in high spirits: "Great, great, what a coincidence!"

As the two were talking, Lu Nan suddenly moved closer to Baihe Chuanhua and sniffed her carefully, his expression serious.

Baihe Chuanhua was startled, her face instantly turning red, and she stood there frozen in place.

Yotsuya Miko felt her mind go blank for a moment, and she stopped caring about gods and ghosts. She stood directly in front of Lu Nan, looked up at him, and her small eyes seemed to be overflowing with tears.

She looked incredibly aggrieved, which even made Lu Nan look at her strangely.

"Senior?" Yotsuya Miko murmured softly, "Don't be like that."

"If you want to smell me... you can smell me."

"I just took a shower last night."

"It smells really good..."

Chapter 139 If I'm not a god, who is?

Lu Nan said, somewhat puzzled, "What are you saying? It's so strange."

Yotsuya Miko's face stiffened, then she puffed up her cheeks, her golden eyes glaring unyieldingly at Lu Nan.

Lu Nan said in a low voice, "Don't you smell anything strange?"

Yotsuya Miko was taken aback, then shook her head in confusion.

Lu Nan thought for a moment. He could always smell that somewhat rotten smell. At first, he thought it was just like this in the desolate mountains and wilderness, until Baihechuan arrived and the smell became a little stronger.

Even the silly cat sensed something was wrong, shaking its head as the little guy was being suffocated by the smell.

So Lu Nan leaned closer and took a sniff, and sure enough, there was a faint smell of decay.

This gave Lu Nan some ideas. He had initially thought that the girl in the coffee shop was just unhygienic, but now it seemed that she was probably connected to evil spirits. Sure enough, being haunted by ghosts for a long time would inevitably have some effect on a person.

The scent is probably quite faint, and most ordinary people might not notice it or even smell it at all.

Yotsuya Miko's concerns were not without merit; after all, it was clear that this was not a good thing.

However, this statement does confirm that Banami's character simply has a large stomach, so there's no need to elaborate. This blame really can't be shifted onto the evil spirit.

"Never mind, it's fine. Just keep an eye on her. If anything seems amiss, just press your fingerprint on her." Lu Nan sighed and said.

At this moment, Yotsuya Miko realized that her senior wasn't being indecent towards Xiaohua, but rather testing something. She breathed a small sigh of relief, thinking that her senior liked Xiaohua's type.

After a moment of hesitation, the group walked up the steps leading to the shrine.

During the journey, Yurikawa Hana had already forgotten what had just happened and was excitedly pulling Yotsuya Miko along, chattering away incessantly.

"Jianzi, why did you two come here for your date? It looks so desolate, not pretty at all."

Yotsuya Miko glanced at the tall, fierce ghost beside Yurikawa Hana. She guessed that because of her, the thing was a little further away from Hana, but not as far as the little ghosts they had encountered on the road before. It had just moved a few steps to the side.

It seems the previous guess was true; this thing is indeed useful, but not very effective against seemingly powerful ghosts.

However, this was to be expected, as the little gourd was already quite useful, and Yotsuya Miko did not intend to criticize it.

"I already told you we weren't on a date, we just happened to run into each other, and then we decided to hang out together, so I invited you along too." Miko Yotsuya tapped Yurikawa Hana's head helplessly.

Yurikawa stuck out her tongue and stopped teasing Yotsuya Miko. She figured if she kept teasing her, someone would get a red tongue.

"But you still haven't said why you came here? Instead of playing around here, we might as well go to the pedestrian street." Yurikawa Hana glanced at the surrounding woods and shrank closer to Yotsuya Miko, looking somewhat timid. "It looks creepy, are there ghosts?"

Yotsuya Miko's expression froze for a moment, then she quickly regained her composure and said calmly, "How could that be? I've already told you, Hua, to read less of those ghost stories."

While the two girls chattered away, Lu Nan and Dai Miao's expressions turned quite unpleasant.

It wasn't because he discovered some invincible monster here; otherwise, he would have already run away with a light-speed cat cart in each hand.

The root cause is that the closer Lu Nan and Dai Miao are to the mountain, the stronger the rotten smell becomes. Lu Nan is okay; his current discomfort is similar to smelling cow dung by the roadside. However, Dai Miao, whose sense of smell is more sensitive, is not so good. At this moment, he is already planning to negotiate with the boss to let him go down the mountain first.

However, without her, the boss's safety was not guaranteed, so in the end, Daimiao decided to take the plunge and took out a gas mask from her small pocket and put it on her head.

This is a toy that Daimiao bought with her own savings. It's not actually poison-proof, and at this point it's mostly just providing psychological comfort.

Fortunately, the so-called shrine wasn't far away; after walking for about ten minutes, we saw the torii gate.

Lu Nan frowned in disgust; the stench was getting stronger and stronger.

"A shrine?" Yurikawa looked at the torii gate sign with some confusion. "What are we doing at a shrine?"

"I wanted to visit some high-energy tourist spots or something," Miko Yotsuya said quietly.

"Is that so? That sounds quite interesting. This is my first time in a place like this!"

Unlike Yurikawa's excitement, both Lu Nan and Yotsuya Miko had strange expressions, and as for the little dorky cat... it was almost coaxed to sleep.

Lu Nan frowned because the smell became more than twice as strong after he stepped inside the torii gate.

Yotsuya Miko felt as if she had come to the wrong place. The moss-covered stone path, the cobweb-covered shrine, and the dusty money box all indicated that the place had been abandoned for a long time.

Moreover, there was nothing around, not even a hand-washing basin or a plaque for hanging blessings, nor even a wall.

Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but feel annoyed, thinking that she had gone to the wrong place and that the unscrupulous map had caused her so much trouble!

However, since she was already there, Yotsuya Miko decided to go and pray for blessings, just in case it would help.

"Would you like to pay your respects, senior?" Yotsuya Miko whispered.

Lu Nan, who was already feeling nauseous, shook his head: "If I don't have money, I might as well pray to myself more."

Yotsuya Miko didn't say much.

Yurikawa Hana and Yotsuya Miko were already standing in front of the money box, while Lu Nan stood behind them, looking around.

He shook the bell, stirring up a cloud of dust, and the bell made a dull sound.

"How about we put in five yuan for incense money?" Baihechuan asked.

Yotsuya Miko nodded, but when she took out her wallet, she hesitated for a moment before taking out two fifty-dollar bills and stuffing them in.

After the incense money was placed in the offering box, the two put their hands together and began to pray for blessings.

Yotsuya Miko closed her eyes and muttered softly.

May my senior be safe and sound; he doesn't seem to be feeling well.
