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

She was willing to spend her whole life repaying him, only asking to get through her weakest period.

Tendo Kagura... Brother, why...?

In the end, she didn't confide her feelings to Nishimiya Yuzuru; she hung up after she finished speaking.

She heard a noise outside the bedroom, so she pushed open the door and stood there. She saw Hiratsuka Shizuka busy in the kitchen, sweating profusely, bringing out a pot full of... curry?

She smelled the curry.

Seeing her come out, Hiratsuka Shizuka wiped the sweat from her forehead and waved, "Suzuka-chan, come eat."

Summer has arrived, and the weather is hot.

Of course, it's also because she's not very good at cooking. There's nothing she can do; all the ramen shops are closed, and she's a teacher, not a chef, so she can only cook home-style meals. There were some ingredients left in the fridge, and thinking about Suzuka's thin frame, she decided to make chicken curry. But she accidentally put in too much curry cubes, so she added two potatoes. As a result, there was too much main ingredient, and the flavor became bland, so she added some more curry cubes and water.

After a while, the amount in the pot kept increasing, and the potatoes that were cooked first were almost turned into mush.

As a result, a simple dish turned into a chaotic mess for her.

Hiratsuka Shizuka sighed silently. If it were her, she would just cook some noodles casually. She wasn't particular about cooking. Any dish with more than three steps was a daunting challenge for a single woman in her late twenties.

Is this what life is like after marriage with children? It's terrifying.

I'd rather not have any more children.

Suzuka Ise slowly walked out, looking at the curry soup on the table that was almost overflowing.

She tilted her head in confusion.

"It's still edible." Hiratsuka Shizuka coughed lightly, looking somewhat embarrassed.

She tried it, and it actually tasted alright, but the presentation wasn't great.

"Thank you for your hard work." Suzuka nodded, not saying much more; she had been doing the same thing for the past two days.

Shizuka Hiratsuka has great potential in cooking and there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

After they sat down, Hiratsuka Shizuka served her a small bowl, and Suzuka ate with her head down.

She picked up a mushy potato, gently blew on it, and then put it in her mouth, immediately frowning deeply.

The taste was just average, not some kind of culinary disaster, but she couldn't eat ordinary food; she had a naturally delicate constitution, especially recently, as she had become more pampered.

Suzuka eventually swallowed it with a frown, and although she felt a bit nauseous, she still managed to eat a small bowl with great difficulty.

To overcome the world's malice, let's start with eating.

May all gods swiftly come to my aid; if I disobey, I will be punished in Fengdu: Chapter Ten: No one will believe it if I tell anyone.

Yuzuru stared at the phone that had been hung up. In her memory, this was the first time Suzuka had hung up on her. They hadn't talked many times, but every time they did, she could sense that Suzuka's tone was somewhat happy. Her voice was also very soft and gentle, as if she was afraid of startling her and was hiding her excitement and joy in her heart, making her seem extremely innocent.

It's understandable. Suzuka lived in a backward rural area, so she must have been curious and eager to try new things. Now she's experiencing the changes of modern society, but she has a fragile personality, so she might go astray in the process.

This is probably what Tendou Kagura was worried about. A person's growth stage requires more than just elders, so he chose himself and was able to make concessions to a certain extent.

Nii-chan has a very aloof personality. Although he is gentle at heart, he appears unapproachable to outsiders. If it weren't for Suzuka's storyline, she wouldn't dare to make a move on him.

Although the two were friends, in her eyes, Suzuka was more like a follower who had no opinions of her own.

She's not unpleasant; she's responsible. Since Kagura Tendo entrusted her with this task, she should play a positive role for Suzuka.

She had originally expected it to take several years to make changes, and she had the patience for that, just like she had for glass.

If one person can't break her, a second one won't be a problem either. Besides, sharing the pressure with others might actually make things much easier.

But Suzuka's change was beyond her expectations.

But no matter what, it wasn't bad, nor was it a betrayal. She could sense that Suzuka still valued her, but had become more opinionated and started thinking about his own affairs.

The sudden change really disrupted a lot of things.

She could have endured this period of torment; if she had just gritted her teeth and persevered, those things that couldn't defeat her would have become nourishment for her.

But at this moment, the future plans that could have given her a glimmer of hope have become nothing but a pipe dream.

What will become of humanity in the future?

This is also why she has been feeling lost these past two days.

Yuzuru Nishimiya turned off his phone and curled up in the darkness.

Misfortune never comes singly.

Her psychological problems worsened. She could hear inaudible noises and whispers in the darkness, which made her extremely uneasy. She could sense something moving in the darkness, quietly observing her.

But in reality, there was nothing there; she heard nothing and saw nothing.

Those anxieties and fears were like a monster being born from the soil in the darkness, as if a strange hand had climbed up her back, along her smooth spine, and finally reached her mind. That icy chill clung to her soul day and night.

Unwittingly, the monster made her feel that it was another version of herself, a clearer and more towering version of herself.

She hides in the darkness, coldly observing the world with her icy eyes. She is restless, eager to step out of this confined space and bring endless darkness to the world.

She was probably ill, and even found enjoyment in this torment.

Do not!

This must be a mental illness, and it's not serious; it can be cured without medication.

She can control herself, she can control that monster, and she will never become a terrorist with antisocial personality disorder.

But the more she thought about it, the more terrified and uneasy she became, and these emotions seemed to be a catalyst for the monster.

……

Jianzi and Xiaohua rode in Rom's vehicle to the coastal area.

Takeda Mie was also in the car. Her braided hair was neatly styled, and she looked extremely dignified in her white ceremonial robes. She was completely different from the shaman she had seen before; at this moment, she looked like a sorcerer from ancient times.

But her brows were furrowed deeply, and her anger was palpable.

Having spent many years in this line of work, one inevitably gets to know all sorts of people, can talk to yakuza, and has connections within the police force.

However, every profession has its rules, let alone spiritual practitioners, who are subject to numerous taboos.

These connections are not readily available in ordinary times. If used for personal gain or to attract attention, they will inevitably meet a bad end. Therefore, they can only be used in critical moments.

Rom drove off with a nonchalant attitude, smiling as he explained the situation to Jianzi and Xiaohua.

"Last night, several people on Boss Fang's side disappeared; to be precise, they were swallowed up."

He doesn't shy away from this statement.

Boso is a peninsula that juts southward from the southeastern tip of Honshu. It belongs to the same prefecture as Chiba City and is surrounded by the sea on three sides. It is a popular tourist destination. The incident occurred at the Royal Resort Hotel, where someone was bathing in the hotel's open-air hot spring and was then eaten.

Evil spirits don't have this ability; only gods can do this.

However, this news has been suppressed and has not yet spread. Some people find this matter strange and even do not rule out the possibility that someone is playing tricks, but it still needs to be investigated thoroughly.

However, the special department is still being established and has not yet taken shape, so ordinary police officers cannot get involved.

The police originally invited Takeda Mie, but she declined because she couldn't handle those spirits. It was Rom who took the initiative to accept the case in Takeda Mie's name.

He then invited Jianzi and Xiaohua to go to the Fangzong Peninsula together.

Grandma Sanzhi boarded the bus midway, her face grim: "You'll kill Miko."

“But their commission is thirty million, even if they can’t solve it, they’ll still have five million.” Rom said with a chuckle, freeing one hand to gesture in the air.

“We only need to go around once to come back. They didn’t just invite us; I heard they also invited some people who claim to be psychics.”

He understood this strategy: cast a wide net and you'll always catch a big fish, but the investment is a bit large. Rom pondered, not ruling out the possibility that this was official sabotage, a trial by fire.

There's no need to hide it; his purpose in coming here was to broaden Jianzi and Xiaohua's horizons, which would be helpful for her in the future.

Unfortunately, he didn't hear about any shrines participating, which means that those reclusive traditions haven't shown themselves yet.

"Money or life?" Granny Sanzhi was furious when she heard Rom's words. Although she had been around for many years and had no reputation, she was at least able to protect herself. How could she have Rom as a disciple? She was furious. Although she had not expelled Rom from the sect, their relationship had been cold for many years.

Seeing the bright golden light in her eyes, she sat down beside her and said softly, "It's alright, Mother-in-law, we did it voluntarily."

She also wanted to meet the gods who brought great calamity to the world. She had read some of the reports, but couldn't accept the rest.

Things are different now; she is no longer the girl who was helpless in the face of evil spirits.

Baihe Chuanhua sat in the passenger seat, her healthy face flushed with a natural blush, and nodded in agreement.

"Tendou Kagura said I can protect you all." She thumped her chest with her fist, looking very confident.

According to her own account, in Chiba, unless Myoken-no-Mikoto returns, even the gods would have to give way to her; she is like a living talisman.

She has good aptitude and has taken the easiest path of becoming a warrior. Resources are unlimited. Before leaving, Kagura Tendou left her a lot of resources, and with a period of training, she has already vaguely touched the next stage.

She's eaten dinosaur meat, from the modern era to the prehistoric period, and then to the Jurassic period. However, her body warned her of its toxicity, so she never ate it again. Although Kagura Tendo said that the toxicity was so weak that it wouldn't affect her, she just didn't like the taste.

But this experience was so bizarre that no one would believe it if I told them.

All gods, come swiftly to aid me; if anyone disobeys, I will subdue Fengdu: Chapter Eleven: The Newly Born Gods?

The group arrived at the peninsula.

This area has been sealed off with yellow warning tape. There isn't enough manpower right now, so even the street patrol police have been brought in as laborers to guard the cordon and prevent unauthorized personnel from entering or leaving.

It would have attracted a lot of attention, but with so much noise going on both online and offline, the media had no time to pay attention to the anomaly.

According to Rom, this matter is somewhat unusual.

Because it didn't happen on the day of the disaster a few days ago, but yesterday.

But most of the evil gods who caused trouble have been killed. At this critical juncture, the few surviving gods should be quiet for a while, at least to find out the situation before they dare to commit crimes against the wind.

Is it a new deity?

Humans know little about the mystical realm and can only piece together general information from ancient texts. So far, no deity has taken the initiative to negotiate with psychics—most likely because they feel that humans are not qualified to communicate with them, which is a very unfortunate fact.

But this cannot conceal the fact that some people are helping humanity maintain order. Gods see humans as ants, and some people see gods as ants.

Those newly arrived deities should have been wary, because ahead lay a huge crater, the bottom of which were the wreckage of vehicles that hadn't braked. Anyone who crossed that line was basically killed in a car accident.

Seeing that Zi and Xiaohua followed Rom and Granny Sanzhi into the Royal Resort Hotel, Rom, who had a special pass, swaggered in with it in his mouth. He waved to disperse the staff who surrounded him, and only a seasoned police officer followed. Psychics all have their own methods, some of which are not for show, but the higher-ups have given orders to try to meet the conditions and first investigate the current situation.

This police officer was just on patrol; he was in his thirties with no future prospects and was sent here to explain the situation.

Although he was extremely curious about the mysterious profession of psychics and wanted to ask Rom about his views on the gods, he ultimately didn't get the answer. Instead, he explained the situation in detail, speaking fluently and skillfully, as if he had explained it more than once.
