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

She remembered a picture she had seen on her phone: Jesus' head was severed, and a headless angel, now a skeleton, suddenly stood up. All sense of holiness vanished. It was an extremely terrifying scene that sent chills down her spine.

"Perhaps there are, but the truly ancient gods have long since disappeared into the depths of the spirit world, which is where the gods reside."

Will they show up again?

Grandma Sanzhi shook her head; she had no idea about that.

"What are the abilities of a psychic?" Jianzi asked earnestly.

Grandma Saegusa shook her head: "Most psychics don't have any special abilities. Apart from being able to see the spirit world, they are no different from ordinary people."

"Huh?" Jianzi was a little surprised. She hadn't expected this result. She thought that most psychics could control the wind and rain.

However, upon closer examination, this makes perfect sense.

If a psychic truly possessed extraordinary abilities, they likely wouldn't have survived this long.

She asked curiously, "Since the spirit world is far away, why are there still evil spirits?"

"Miko, you really are talking about something terrible!" Yurikawa Hana finally heard Miko mention this term after listening for a long time.

She had a mournful face and was most afraid of evil spirits and the like.

"Hua..." Seeing that Zi was somewhat helpless, she wanted to say that this was what she would have to face from now on, but the words just wouldn't come out.

Yurikawa Hana is cheerful, but also surprisingly timid, a psychological weakness that is difficult to overcome.

"I'll tell you later," Jian Zi said softly, reaching out to touch Hua's short orange hair as a reassuring gesture.

Meanwhile, Yuria stood by, bewildered and dazed, her eyes glazed over, rapidly reshaping her worldview.

what is this?

What is this again?

I don't understand at all.

The information was so overwhelming that it made her head buzz.

Then she looked at Granny Saegusa again, nodded slightly, indicating that she could continue.

She has a mission, she's not here to just wander around; she needs to report back to Tendo Kagura.

Grandma Saegusa glanced at Yurikawa Hana several times. She possessed astonishing life energy, yet she was so timid, which was somewhat amusing.

"You don't need to be afraid. If you have enough vital energy, you will not be able to be invaded by external evils and you can ward off anything."

"Really?" Yurikawa asked timidly.

Grandma Saegusa nodded. She wouldn't lie to a little girl. She had met Yurikawa Hana once when they bought prayer beads, and at that time she judged that it would be difficult for evil spirits to affect her.

Because life is like a torch, it is burning itself.

Now that her life force is stronger, she should be able to fight off evil spirits.

Now, she got back to the main topic.

Although the spirit world is far away, it is not isolated from the world; otherwise, life would have nowhere to go after death.

The places where evil spirits exist today are merely appearances of the spirit world, belonging to a superficial level.

"The spirit world is the end of all life. Evil spirits that can linger in the human world will eventually go to where they belong."

Jianzi spoke up again: "I once heard a benevolent spirit say that the spirit world has been very unstable recently."

But Granny Sanzhi looked blank and knew nothing about it.

"These messages have all been passed down." She herself was not clear about them, and could not even see the true face of the evil spirits. She simply followed some ancient covenants. Her master, Okazuki, did the same, and dared not overstep them, otherwise there would be a terrible end.

These things were originally meant to be passed down to her apprentices, but now she is dying alone and cannot find a suitable successor. Since Jianzi has come looking for her, she will tell her about them.

She found Zi very pleasing to the eye.

"For current psychics, the spirit world is a taboo subject and cannot be revealed to outsiders."

After Grandma Sanzhi finished speaking, she looked at the child and then asked, "Can you see it very clearly?"

She noticed something was off about Miko back then, and thought she was very strong and knew how to protect herself.

Seeing Zi nod, she was truly terrified when she first saw the evil spirit.

But what's worse is that the world of evil spirits is becoming clearer and clearer in her eyes, and now it's almost indistinguishable from reality.

If it weren't for Tendou Kagura, she really wouldn't dare to act like this.

But strangely, why couldn't she see Baihechuan Hua's life energy?

Grandma Sanzhi was slightly moved after hearing this. She stared at Jianzi and felt that her spiritual vision was incredibly high.

“You are special. Perhaps if things continue like this, you will one day face the gods directly…”

"Gods..." This word was too heavy, and it made Miko's heart sink. She had been thinking about what Tendo Kagura had once told her, and she kept it in mind and dared not forget it.

This world is about to suffer some kind of catastrophic disaster.

"If the world is to be destroyed, will the gods stand up to face it?" Miko asked earnestly, looking at Granny Sane.

Grandma Sanzhi was stunned for a moment, realizing that the question was a bit beyond her scope.

……

"Suzuka-chan, why didn't you come to school this morning?"

Yuzuru Nishimiya sat on a park bench, arms wrapped around his neck, gazing aimlessly at the dusky sky.

The thin clouds were tinged with a dark yellow, contrasting with the setting sun, appearing extremely powerless, yet still putting on a final struggle.

Eventually, it too will fall.

Those sunset glows are its last rays, its last warmth.

Suzuka sat beside her, staring blankly at the setting sun, her eyes showing little interest.

"Did something happen?" Yuzuru turned his head and, seeing Suzuka's expression, guessed, "Did you have a fight with Nii-chan?"

Suzuka shook her head and muttered, "Yuzuru-chan, I..."

She paused for a moment before speaking, worried that Yuzuru might notice something, so she changed her words and said, "I have a friend."

"Oh, go on." Yuzuru made a listening gesture. This guy, besides her, didn't have a second friend.

Therefore, she never uses the phrase "I have a friend" as an opening line, as it would easily expose her true identity.

"My friend's brother is doing something very dangerous. How can I stop him?"

"Nii-chan?" Yuzuru asked, swinging his legs with some doubt. He really couldn't imagine what dangerous things Kagura would do.

“He’s a friend of mine!” Suzuka pointed out the error in Yuzuru’s words incisively.

Two junior high school girls sat on a park bench. The surroundings were deserted and extremely quiet in this bustling city. It seemed to be their private world. They sat very close together and whispered to each other.

……

The Best of Times, The Worst of Times: Chapter Nine: Because I Killed Him [First Update]

When Suzuka Ise returned home, the lights from the entrance hall to the corridor were on, casting a soft glow.

But only the lights on this side are on.

The lights in the living room were off, making that area appear somewhat dark, as if shrouded in a thin black veil.

Kagura Tendou sat upright on the sofa in the living room, the surroundings shrouded in darkness, untouched by light.

His figure remained silent in the darkness, like a frozen sculpture, without words or life.

Suzuka Ise has excellent eyesight and could vaguely see that her brother was holding something that was faintly glowing red in the darkness. It was a semi-circular object, like a crescent moon, but because it was too far away, the angle was wrong, and it was also very dark there, she couldn't see the object clearly.

As Suzuka slowly found the switch and turned on the light, she discovered that Kagura Tendo was looking at her, her eyes filled with lingering sadness. The item had already disappeared from her brother's possession.

However, she did not yet know why her brother was sad; she only felt inexplicably heavy-hearted.

Yuzuru couldn't offer much advice, but the two made a promise.

"Come and eat." The older brother's voice sounded hoarse and deep. On the table were leftovers from lunch that had been reheated.

Suzuka Ise walked over without any fear or apprehension. She gently placed her backpack on the floor beside her and then went to the washroom to wash her hands.

Suzuka sat in a high-backed chair, her toes barely touching the floor. Looking at the dejected Kagura Tendo, she suddenly smiled brightly and exclaimed, "Brother, Yuzuru-chan said she wants to come over."

"Okay." Kagura Tendo agreed. He paused for a moment and said, "When she comes, I'll make you some good food."

He spoke softly, his somewhat dejected expression subtly changing, his eyes radiating a gentle light. In the lamplight, his deep eyes seemed to sparkle like stars, and at that moment he appeared incredibly approachable.

Suzuka was stunned for a moment. Her nose inexplicably felt a little sore, and she used the act of eating rice to cover the tears in her eyes.

asshole!

Why show off your "older brother charm" now? If you're so capable, then don't make people worry.

She had met the wrong person, and her life had ended here. The more her nose stung, the more she wanted to curse Kagura Tendou to death.

She didn't make a scene because she knew it was useless; he was a cold-blooded and heartless bastard.

Ding Dong!

Someone rang the doorbell. Kagura looked up and seemed to know who it was. She then stood up and left the dining table.

He instructed, "Suzuka, eat well."

He then left.

Suzuka Ise jumped off the chair, completely ignoring Kagura Tendo's instructions. She quietly followed behind Kagura Tendo, gripping the doorframe with both hands and peeking out. She saw a golden-eyed girl outside the door, who had an elegant and calm demeanor and smiled slightly at her.

It's that person named Yotsuya Miko.

Suzuka Ise's eyes immediately changed. She remembered that it was this woman who had taken her brother away in front of her and Yuzuru.

"Good evening, Suzuka-chan." Miko waved.

Kagura Tendou also turned his head, looking somewhat serious, his words carrying an undeniable air of authority.

He shouted, "Suzuka, go back!"

Suzuka Ise was somewhat dissatisfied, but seeing that her brother seemed to be in no danger, she couldn't muster any resistance and went back home with a pout and a wiggle of her bottom.
