As the savior, I only want to play single-player games.

……

Dream.

A lucid dream.

Yotsuya Miko realized that she was standing in front of the station, and the environment looked very familiar. She passed by here every day when she went to school.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be a girls' school behind her.

The sky was dark and oppressive, making it impossible to tell what time it was. A light drizzle fell from the sky, pattering and shattering on the ground. The place was deserted, with only the streetlights and the lights from the station providing illumination.

Using the dim light, Jianzi looked down and discovered his own attire.

The familiar pale yellow shirt, with a white school uniform underneath, and a pleated skirt that only covered half of her thighs.

She was soaked to the bone, her wet clothes clinging to her skin, the icy touch so intense that she almost thought she was in the real world.

Familiar location, weather, and attire.

Seeing that Zi immediately realized this, he took a slight breath.

She can be seen from here.

Then, look up!

A tall, bloated evil spirit appeared before them. Its facial features still resembled those of a human, but its two eye sockets, each the size of a ping-pong ball, were empty. Its abdomen was rotting, revealing another human face.

"Can you...see?" a deep voice asked.

Seeing Zi calmly fall into deep thought, she realized that the evil spirit in front of her was at most a small monster in the beginner village, and she had already killed the BOSS. Now that she was doing the job change quest, she naturally couldn't be scared anymore.

This is a dream.

Miko clearly recognized this; it was a scenario she had experienced before.

As Tendo Kagura once said, to become a spiritual master, the greatest enemy is oneself. Some are psychological shadows, some are human flaws, but as long as you take that step, the world will be your oyster.

And are these evil spirits the enemies I need to defeat?

That must be it. She had been plagued by evil spirits in the past, living in fear of encountering misfortune.

This time, Miko was extremely courageous. She stared at the evil spirit with her golden eyes, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, but her expression was very calm.

“I can see!” she said, her words firm, her voice clear and resolute.

This was the first time Miko had acknowledged the fact that she could see it when she was alone, and she felt incredibly relieved.

I said it!

Although it was a dream, she actually said it out loud.

The evil spirit paused for a moment, then revealed a sinister grin.

Seeing this, Zi was immediately on high alert, unsure of what would happen next. Would the evil spirit attack her? And how?

But she certainly won't just sit and wait to die!

Although she was alone, without Kagura or Xiao Hua, she was still able to throw a punch and do her best to protect herself.

Come on... Pfft!

Seeing that Zi was stunned, the evil spirit suddenly emitted a large amount of black energy, its expression extremely ferocious. This was not a prelude to an attack, but rather a sign that it had been attacked.

An arm pierced through its abdomen and emerged, then moved with fluid grace, as if dispersing clouds, instantly killing the evil spirit.

Through the dissipating black mist, Jianzi saw a figure standing behind the evil spirit, appearing and disappearing in the shadows.

Soon, she saw the true form of the figure.

Seeing this, Zi Sheng had the idea of ​​looking at herself in the mirror, simply because that person looked exactly like her and appeared right in front of her.

Except that its eyes are black.

The person also saw Jianzi. She smiled slightly, a smile that was both wicked and arrogant, a smile that Jianzi would never show.

"Yotsuya Miko, you can see, right!"

The man took two quick steps, then punched Jianzi hard in the stomach. Caught off guard, Jianzi cried out in pain and stumbled back several steps, unable to believe that another version of herself had appeared.

Isn't her weakness evil spirits?

Jianzi gazed at her other self, standing gracefully, but her expression was not calm, but rather arrogant. Her eyes were not reserved, but fiery, like a burning flame, filled with wicked desire.

"Who are you?" she asked in surprise.

Seeing that the man with dark eyes did not answer, he instead curled up a sinister smile and attacked forward with swift, direct, and fluid movements.

'This guy!' Jianzi was secretly annoyed, and when he questioned him, he was punched twice more.

This was a sneak attack; it almost knocked her unconscious, and it hurt terribly.

She was no weakling. Although she had never been in a fight since she was a child, judging from the pain of being hit, this person was clearly at the same level of physical fitness as her. As long as she didn't break the rules, she was not afraid of anyone!

Miko Kurome said in a flippant tone, "Miko Yotsuya, I am you!"

"How could this be? Where are those evil spirits?" Jianzi exclaimed in surprise.

"What are evil spirits! Don't you understand how powerful we are!" she shouted angrily, but quickly looked distressed.

“It’s pathetic. You don’t deserve to be by his side. I feel so sorry for him.”

Hei Moujianzi clutched her chest, looking pained, her whole body trembling, appearing extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Zi approach two steps closer, she became somewhat wary, but looking at her other self, she couldn't bear it and wanted to help her up and ask what was wrong.

The instant she got close.

Rising Dragon Fist!

But Zi leaned back to dodge, took a few steps back, and widened the distance again.

Hei Moujian straightened up with a grin, his face showing no remorse, but rather a hint of regret.

Although this Jianzi is a good-for-nothing, he's still quite difficult to fool. But if I don't beat Jianzi to death, I won't be able to have him all to myself.

Seeing that Zi had started rolling up his sleeves, his expression turned unfriendly.

You're playing dirty tricks, aren't you!

Did she watch all those wrestling videos for nothing?

Her favorite wrestler is the giant python cave bear, known as the man among men!

No one survived the giant serpent's onslaught!

……

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter 51: The Spiritualist

The moment Yotsuya Miko opened her eyes, she saw a ray of bright morning light shining into the bedroom.

She sat up and shook her head.

I felt a splitting headache and a severe swelling between my eyebrows.

But after wrestling with yourself for so long, there are bound to be aftereffects.

There is no winner or loser!

Once she felt better, she changed her clothes and sent a message to Tendo Kagura mentioning the matter.

While cooking, Tendo Kagura quickly replied.

Don't delay; overcome it as soon as possible. The longer you drag it out, the worse it will be for you.

But when she recalled the incredibly sharp black eyes that had attacked her, her headache returned, and she rubbed her temples.

She felt a bulge there, as if something was about to grow out, but when she actually touched it, there was nothing there.

It's too difficult to kill someone with equal physical abilities with your bare hands, unless you can win through skill.

But in reality, she could only say that she was barely holding on, because everything she knew, Kurome Miko also knew, and every move she could think of, Kurome Miko could also think of.

More importantly, Black Eyes saw that Zi had acted too ruthlessly.

Every move is deadly.

Jianzi felt a phantom pain in her chest. Her face turned red, not out of embarrassment, but out of anger. She felt that the man with the dark eyes, Jianzi, was too despicable.

However, mental anguish will not cause physical harm at this stage.

'What if we can't win in a short time?' she texted.

As always, Tendo Kagura's language is concise and to the point.

'You'll die!'

The death of the spirit is more thorough than the death of the body; at that time, one will witness the spiritual alienation and depravity of the child.

Jianzi stared at the short words on the screen.

She sat on the bed, sighed deeply, and remained motionless for a long time.

Am I really worth so much investment from Kagura Tendo?

Jianzi has always been extremely confident. This confidence is not arrogance towards others, but rather an affirmation of herself. Jianzi never doubts herself.

But now, she can't help but think that she has no talent.

However, this suspicion came quickly and went just as fast.

She remembered the comfort Kagura had given her.

"The only thing that can affect me is myself," she whispered, a sense of calm settling in her heart, and her resolve strengthened once more.

After going downstairs, I saw my mother sitting in a chair. Hearing the noise, she turned her gaze over.

"Jianzi, you've been getting up very early lately." Yotsuya's mother had a gentle and charming demeanor, with a lock of hair draped over her shoulder.

"Not going to school today either?" She looked a little worried. If it weren't for the fact that her son had always behaved well, she would be very uneasy.

Jianzi nodded slightly: "Of course we have to go, otherwise Professor Arai will be very troubled."

Ms. Arai is her mentor, and she and Xiaohua can't always ask for leave.

There haven't been any missions for Kagura Tendou lately.
