Rom pretended to be nonchalant and replied, "I may not die. I have prepared the most powerful exorcist equipment, and I also have the helpers you have found. After taking the bell, I may be able to come back alive."

Granny Sanzhi: "I won't let you die, Rom! Even if it costs me my own life, I will bring you back alive!"

"See? This is the ugly side of tsundere. I'm a pretty good judge of character."

Chen Mo complained to Jianzi, "You clearly have good intentions, but you have to act like an annoying person. This world is truly full of tsunderes."

Ling Xuan showed a relieved smile like an elder: "Haha, you should have said it earlier! Sacrificing yourself to save the world, always holding on to this idea is not a sign of maturity.

Don't worry, I, Ling Xuan Xinlong, will not let the younger generation die at the hands of a mere evil god!"

Toribatsu immediately lost interest: "Ah, the sacrifice is not a beautiful girl, then it's okay, let this uncle die."

For some reason, Ling Xuan seems to have extensive experience in educating teenagers:

Linghuan: "What are you talking about, you little brat? Let me correct your twisted thoughts!"

Toribatsu: "What's wrong with my mind? I'm such an upright person. Even if I could communicate with ghosts, the most I'd do is ask them to check the color of girls' underwear for me. I've never had any thoughts of breaking the law."

Linghuan: "This is already a crime. I want to correct your brain full of yellow garbage!"

-

Jianzi pulled Chen Mo's clothes and whispered, "Master Mage, the prodigy Rom won't die, right?"

Chen Mo: "I've already told you, the only one who will die is the evil god himself. Why are you always thinking about offering sacrifices to it?"

Jianzi: "Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, there wouldn't have been this argument."

Chen Mo: "This is so interesting, the two masters and apprentices who were speaking harshly just now are now reminiscing about the past with tears in their eyes. In fact, they are both extremely worried about each other.

If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be able to watch these two tsunderes' lively performance up close."

Jianzi: "It seems...it's interesting, huh?"

Chapter 70 Memories of Thirty Years Ago

So, after some discussion, the strongest (?) exorcists in Tokyo decided to use Jianzi's location to go to the nameless mountain to defeat the evil god on Saturday of this week.

No matter what other people's plans are, as long as Chen Mo, a being much more terrifying than the so-called evil god, is involved, there is nothing to worry about.

Jianzi felt relieved and happy: his life of fear was finally coming to an end!

-

After the show, Roma and Granny Sanzhi walked side by side on the road.

Granny Sanzhi: "Why do you do this, Rom? You can just pretend you don't know and continue living like this."

Rom walked silently for a while before answering, "Because I heard a cry for help. There was only one before, but last time I heard another voice - it was Master Towako's voice."

Granny Sanzhi: "Towako, why did I send you to me in the first place? But you are wrong. If it was you who was sacrificed, she would also find a way to save you now.

After all, this is the philosophy she taught me, and I taught you—'Whenever someone asks for help, you must lend a hand.'"

Silence fell again. Under the setting sun, their thoughts went back to thirty years ago.

-

Thirty years ago, when Grandma Sanzhi was still young.

A woman with a veil on her face and occult ornaments all over her body made a gesture on the TV, with her left palm upright and her right hand pointing with two fingers:

"The evil spirit has been slain! The evil has been eradicated!"

"Amazing! It worked!"

"Ms. Oka Towako has successfully exorcised an evil spirit once again!"

"Tonight, another family in deep trouble has been saved! Let's shout out that slogan!"

"The evil ghost is slain!"

"The evil ghost is slain!"

In the restaurant, a program in which Towako participated was playing on TV, and the sound of "The evil spirits are slain" kept ringing.

The young Sanzhi curled his lips and said to Towako who was sitting opposite him:

"Master, you're doing this kind of thing again. Don't you think it's a farce?"

Towako wasn't annoyed. "Hehe, to be honest, I'm still an actor. These are all arranged by the director. It's not that easy to find the 'cursed family'."

Sanzhi: "Is it all about money in the end?"

Towako made a coin gesture: "Xiao Sanzhi, money is very important. It can save people at critical moments.

And thanks to all the farce you told, I don't have to think about anything else, I don't have to worry about eating, and then I can focus on saving people."

Sanzhi: "So that's how it is. In order to save people..."

-

Towako: "Mizue-chan, are you doing good deeds again?"

Sanzhi shook his head. "It was just too much trouble, so I gave that guy some life advice. What do you want from me today?"

Towako pulled out a little boy from behind her like magic. It was the young Roma. "I have something to ask of you, kind-hearted little Sanzhi. I want you to take care of this child."

Sanzhi: "What? Please, I don't have the habit of working as a part-time babysitter."

-

For an exorcist, the higher the talent and the stronger the ability, the more things he can see and hear.

There is no doubt that Rom is the most talented child that Sanzhi has ever seen.

Despite her young age, she can sense evil spirits more clearly than Sanzhi and Towako.

Towako: “I found this child from an orphanage. He was able to see spirits since he was young, so his parents were afraid and abandoned him.

You should be able to see his abnormality. This child is extremely talented, but he doesn't understand what makes him different, nor does he know how to use his abilities correctly.

He's really, really dangerous."

Sanzhi: "So, how long do I have to take care of him?"

Towako: "I'll officially adopt him after I finish this farce. I'll have to trouble you, Sanzhi, during this time."

Sanzhi: "Master, do you want to adopt him?"

Towako: "Yes, a child like him, ordinary adults definitely can't raise him well, it takes people like us to do it.

He must be guided seriously, otherwise this child will definitely go astray."

Sanzhi: "I'm not a babysitter. Well, okay, I'll just take care of you for a while."

-

Sanzhi never thought that he could talk so much:

"Eat your vegetables well and don't be picky!"

"Come back when you've had enough fun, and remember to wash your hands before eating!"

"You should buy new clothes. Tsk, how do you buy clothes for boys?"

"Don't call me Auntie, call me Miss Sanzhi."

"Can you see that? That's ridiculous! I can barely see a shadow."

"Remember to distinguish carefully whether the one in front of you is a ghost or a real person before you speak."

"Great job, kid, you helped exterminate an evil spirit today—remember, our power exists to protect others."

"When you hear someone cry for help, you must lend a hand. This is what Master Towako taught me, and I'm teaching you this too. Don't let your power lead you astray."

"It's a tradition in our school to give our disciples nicknames, almost like a stage name. I'm giving you 'Prodigy Roma'. What do you think? Well, it doesn't have any special meaning. If you don't want it, forget it."

"I want."

Little Rom had his own title. He raised his head, his eyes full of childish brilliance: "I will be the child prodigy Rom in the future. I will protect others like my master!"

-

"Thank you."

"Thank you so much for your help."

"Thank you for your care."

"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my son would have died!"

As the days passed, Rom became a very powerful exorcist. He followed Sanzhi and Towako and solved many evil spirits.

People’s voices of gratitude became the warmest memories in this child’s heart.

“When you hear someone cry for help, you must lend a hand.”

-

"Although the things in that shrine are called mountain gods, it's actually just a name people use to describe a being of unknown origin out of fear."

"help me"

"Remember, Rom, the things on that mountain are not something we can deal with. Don't get involved with it."

"help me"

"Master Sanzhi, did you hear that sound?"

"Listen carefully, Rom. Whatever you hear, don't pay attention to it!"

"help me"

"Master Towako, can you hear that voice?"

"Son, I can't hear you, but you must not go up to that mountain. For someone with keen senses, a sound only you can hear could very well be a trap."

"help me"

"help me"

"help me"
