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

She was enjoying her meal when she didn't notice the gentle look in Tendo Kagura's eyes.

Maybe I should try to develop feelings for her... Oh well, let nature take its course.

The moment the thought crossed Tiandao Shenle's mind, he rejected it, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He hates human society, dislikes contact with others, and has always remained chaste. If he were to do something like this, it would be suspected of deceiving Xiaohua's feelings, which would be tantamount to deliberately taking advantage of her.

It's good that Yurikawa Hana is fighting for Miko—Miko is on his side, even though Miko's performance is somewhat disappointing right now.

……

The sky was overcast.

The station glowed faintly under the rain.

Seeing her son confronting her, she had the illusion that she was playing a two-person duel.

They all chose the same roles.

They are all Yotsuya Miko.

"I'll deal with you today!" Seeing that Zi had perked up, she knew she had her pride, and he could sense that Tendou Kagura seemed somewhat disappointed in her.

This is our second meeting.

As she immersed herself in the scene and entered this place, she found that the black-eyed girl was sitting on a bench with her legs crossed and her chin resting on her hand, admiring the rainy scenery. When she saw her, she stood up unhurriedly.

Jianzi quickly discovered that she could also use the power of a mentalist here, but when her mental power tried to probe the past, it was blocked by another mental power, making it impossible to read the other party's shallow thoughts.

Black Eyes saw Zi standing opposite her, a playful smile on his face. Did this good-for-nothing think everyone else was good-for-nothing too?

"Do you have the ability?" Black Eyes saw Zi stand up, his words sounding nonchalant.

If she weren't worried about him finding out, she wouldn't have let the main character leave last night. How could a pampered greenhouse flower possibly defeat wild weeds?

Seeing you, I have no idea how dark your heart is.

His dark eyes seemed to mock him, yet also detached; it was a condescending gaze.

Seeing that Zi frowned slightly, feeling very uncomfortable under that gaze, she carefully considered her current situation and also took into account what Tendo Kagura had told her.

'All spiritual enemies are themselves, manifestations of the id.' She silently repeated this to herself, then asked directly, 'What exactly are you?'

Yesterday's confrontation was too rushed, and she didn't have time to uncover his identity. Now we plan to talk to him first, so that we can know ourselves and our enemy, and we will never be defeated.

She didn't mean to insult the other person, but her dark eyes saw that Zi's originally nonchalant expression had darkened, as if she had heard something ridiculous.

But soon, a smile crept onto her lips, and she declared in a high-pitched voice, "I am your inner demon, your desires, all your negative emotions!"

Let's keep this good-for-nothing under control for now. Once she's developed and familiar with her power, it'll be her death day.

"Negative emotions?" Jianzi frowned deeply. Could her negative emotions really be that strong?

She considers herself to have a happy family, smooth academic progress, and good friends, a perfect example of a fulfilling life. Her only complaint about the real world is that her father passed away last year—but that's inevitable, life is full of surprises.

After witnessing her father's benevolent spirit dissipate, she reconciled with herself and accepted reality.

"Impossible!" Jianzi denied Heimou Jianzi's statement.

"You do not believe?"

“I’ll believe you if you say something else.” Seeing the certainty in her words, she was more willing to trust that the black-eyed Jianzi was the embodiment of her fear of those alien gods and evil spirits.

"My subject, do you consider yourself without desires or wants?"

Seeing her smile widen, Hei Mu licked the corner of her mouth, revealing a charming and alluring expression on her face.

But Zi felt somewhat disgusted by the way this person used his face to make that expression.

"What you're saying is absolutely impossible!"

Do I need to remind you?

Seeing that Zi was neither surprised nor angry, she lightly uttered a sentence.

"Your deepest desire for Kagura is the Heavenly Way."

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter 56: How to Take Back the Body First

These words immediately stunned Jianzi.

She couldn't speak.

"What? You don't dare to admit it? Do you need me to help you remember?" Hei Mou Jianzi laughed wildly, with a peculiar madness about him.

Seeing Zi shake her head slightly. There was nothing she was afraid to admit, especially not to another version of herself.

At this moment, she truly believed that the black-eyed child was a manifestation of her own desires.

Her feelings for Kagura Tendo were actually quite complex; whenever she thought of him, her heart would be in turmoil. However, she never showed her emotions and had no intention of confessing her feelings, keeping them hidden deep inside, so outsiders could not discern her true thoughts.

Even Xiaohua was unaware of this; only her mother vaguely sensed it.

"I am driven by your desire, that burning flame, that intense emotion. Whenever I think of him, I am completely captivated." Hei Mou Jian Zi breathed softly, her breath coming in short gasps. She placed one hand on her chest and the other on her face, her narrowed eyes beginning to shimmer with an intense, infatuated look.

Seeing the subtle look of disgust on her face, she couldn't accept that she had such a side to herself.

If you like it, just say so. Why make that face?

"Enough!" she snapped coldly, using her mental powers. If it were an ordinary person, their mind would go blank for a long time.

But Hei Mu Jianzi was not on guard. If Jianzi was prepared, then the influence of Jianzi's mental power on her would be negligible. But she laughed even more wildly.

"Are you envious of me?" she asked, then grabbed the yellow blouse with both hands, twisted her waist, and took it off, revealing the JK uniform underneath, which distinguished her from Miko by her clothing.

With the constraint of one layer of clothing gone, her beautiful figure became even more eye-catching. Her black hair cascaded down, and her face was beautiful and extremely charming.

She actually has a great figure, but unfortunately, she looks thin in clothes. Jianzi doesn't like to show off, but she is different; she longs to show off her charm.

“What do I have to envy?” Jian Zi said angrily.

With her dark eyes fixed on her, Jianzi bit her finger and said with an innocent expression, "You envy my honesty and straightforwardness."

That's how she felt. Unlike Jianzi, who was conservative and followed the rules, she was useless even when given a chance.

If it were her, she would have drawn circles on Kagura's chest long ago.

He seemed to be thinking of something, and his dark eyes saw that Zi's face was flushed, her eyes were unfocused, and her legs were together, rubbing gently.

This guy... we should get rid of him as soon as possible.

As Jianzi thought this, a sudden surge of spiritual power came over her, and she suddenly had the urge to turn around, so her body turned as well. But when Jianzi realized something was wrong, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her buttocks and was kicked into a puddle outside the station, falling to the ground.

Seeing that she was soaked to the bone, with her black hair also wet, she turned around and saw the black-eyed girl standing there. She saw her gently lower her raised beautiful leg, looking at her with a smile and making a V-sign victory sign.

Seeing Zi's surprised and uncertain expression, she asked, "You didn't say anything, so how could you interfere with my thoughts?"

She was clearly under a mental influence, which is why she suddenly turned around and was caught off guard by Kuroko's sneak attack.

But why could Black Eyes activate the power of a spirit master if he didn't speak? Shouldn't they be using language in conjunction?

"Fool, a spiritualist wouldn't be so inconvenient. You're too useless; you can't possibly unleash such power," Black-Eyed Kenko said casually.

A piece of trash is a piece of trash. He invested so much in Jianzi, but Jianzi turned out to be terribly bad, not even knowing how to control her own power.

Jianzi quickly figured it out.

Yes, mental power doesn't need the cooperation of language. Every time she uses her mental power, she subconsciously speaks, wanting to use her power more accurately and using language to create a clear result.

But Kuroko didn't do that; she didn't need to suggest it to herself.

Having figured out the key point, Jian Zi looked at Hei Mou with his dark eyes, and his spiritual power swept over him. The latter was startled and turned around as well.

She quickly got up and was about to kick him back. She was a vengeful person.

But Black Eyes saw that Zi broke free quickly, and flashed over, seeing that Zi had not been kicked.

"You're learning pretty fast." Black Eyes muttered as he watched Zi take a step. To truly unleash the power of the mind, one needs to break through common human sense.

Not attached to material things, not endangered by the mind, thinking without hesitation, acting with cunning.

Her Chinese teacher once explained the meaning of this Chinese phrase: Don't be misled by appearances, don't be troubled by your own mind, don't let your thoughts wander when you think, and be down-to-earth.

Seeing that her son was inspired, he quickly mastered this ability as well.

It's not the mouth that moves, but the heart; it's not the body that moves, but the mind.

But it doesn't matter, since it's impossible to win by seeing the pieces anyway.

They were exchanging blows yesterday, but I couldn't beat her at all. Even becoming a spiritual healer wouldn't change that.

So, looking at the approaching Jianzi, the black-eyed Jianzi lazily said, "Don't bother. It's boring for spirit masters of the same level to fight each other because once they're on guard, it's hard to affect each other."

She didn't want to throw another wild punch, in case she made Miko cry and attracted the attention of Tendou Kagura.

"So what?" Jianzi said coldly.

Black-eyed Zi waved his hand dismissively, "So don't even think about killing me."

Seeing that Zi touched his butt, this bastard was talking without any sense of responsibility, so he said directly, "I can't just leave you like this."

"Is it because Kagura Tendou said that mentalists need to make up for their mental weaknesses?" Kuroko said with a grin.

Seeing that Zi frowned slightly.

"What you can see, I can see too, because I am you. Do you know why spiritual healers need to heal psychological weaknesses?"

Seeing that Zi remained silent, she knew, combining the explanation from Tiandao Kagura's side with her own understanding.

“A flawed mind cannot control powerful spiritual forces and will one day be devoured by them.”

This is like a building that is missing a load-bearing column. Although it is still habitable, it is a dangerous building. Every time spiritual power is used, the building's resilience is tested first. The higher the resilience, the stronger the spiritual power mobilized.

Once the mental edifice collapses, it's equivalent to a mental breakdown, and there's no way to save it.

Black eyes revealed an approving look at Jianzi. It has to be said that Jianzi is a smart girl who likes to think and reacts quickly. Compared to her peers, she is outstanding, although that does not change the fact that she is a good-for-nothing.

"I didn't interfere with your use of mental power, did I?" Kuroko said with a smile. She didn't really want to fight with Miko right now. Winning would bring no benefits, losing would leave her with nothing, and if she cried, she might attract the attention of Tendou Kagura.

She disliked Yotsuya Miko, feeling that Miko was pretentious and hypocritical, harboring desires but hesitant to act, lacking any sense of crisis, and unable to even see what was in her own mind, thus wasting resources.

In short, seeing that Zi is utterly useless, only she is worthy of fighting alongside Tendo Kagura in the future.

Although that's what she thought, Hei Mu Jianzi was still clear-headed; now wasn't the right time.

Let her figure out how to take back the body first.
