Inner Destroyer

　However, today, her cognition was broken.

　Looking at the ripples of the hot spring water, Lin watched the ripples spread out in circles, as if thoughts were swirling in his mind.

　Her power had never been directly countered like this. That person not only didn't fall, but instead punched her through with one blow, sending her flying from the body of the "Ghost God" warrior. Why was this?

　Is it because he is as special as herself?

　Or is it because... this world is deeper than I imagined?

　Are there many such masters in the outside world?

　What if... this is just the first game?

　She subconsciously raised her hand and touched her cheek. She felt the heat of the hot spring, and also felt her body temperature rising. She felt an unprecedented anticipation, an excitement that even she couldn't explain.

　She wasn't good at thinking about this kind of question, but she did know one thing: she wanted another fight.

　——Although I can’t leave my hometown, but…

　"Master Lin? If you soak in the water for too long, be careful not to faint."

　The maid in the house

185

　…More like a sister who grew up with me than a maid, she was shouting outside the hot spring,

　"Don't just sit there and let the hot springs boil like last time, okay?"

　"That was all when we were little, Ayame!"

　She slapped her face hard, but the princess didn't notice that a smile had actually appeared on her face, and her angelic beauty revealed a dignified demeanor.

　——That person should be from the "International Exorcist Association", a secret ace like the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, right?

　He didn't look like a controlled slave; he seemed quite willing. Could it be that he had some deep hatred for the evil heretics, so he struck a deal with the "Association" to use his body to carry the power of the great demon?

　Rin actually has a very vivid imagination. Because she's not very good at making friends, she prefers to read comics. Her room has a whole cabinet filled with all sorts of comics. Even Ayame sometimes sneaks in to take a peek.

　For a moment, so many tragic anti-heroes, whose entire families or lovers died at the hands of demons, and whose characters and plots were filled with deep hatred and resentment, ran wildly through Rin's mind!

　"Acorus, can you help me check the identity of that person today?"

　Thinking of this, she turned around and asked her most trusted partner... However, after hearing this, Ayame showed a very subtle expression: "Master Lin, although I am very pleased that you are beginning to be interested in men, can you at least be more selective? Such a rough man is not acceptable."

　"Where did you think you were?"

　-

　Let’s talk about Qi Xing who is being paid attention to.

　He had told Sasa before that he was going out to play, and there was no exaggeration in his words.

　playing what?

　His own beautiful girl is right next to him, and now it's vacation time and he doesn't have to work, so why would he need to do anything else?

　So after Elaine finished writing the report to the Pope's Privy Council, Qi Xing didn't bother to ask her directly, "Elaine, do you want to go out with me tomorrow?"

　Elaine finished writing the report and was about to drink a glass of water, but she was almost choked by Qi Xing's words. She coughed several times before turning her head to look at him: "Are you...asking me?"

　Dating.

　So, Qi Xing has indeed lived two lives, but has never experienced such a thing.

　Although he and Elaine had been traveling around the world together for the past two years, and although they had been to many places together, it was always to deal with troublesome situations, and they had never been able to enjoy the joy of daily life, let alone the feeling of dating... After all, Qi Xing had always been afraid before.

　But the situation is different now!

　"Yes."

　So Qi Xing said,

　"You'll definitely give me a day tomorrow, right?"

　Elaine blushed immediately.

　However, being French, she mustered her willpower and calmly retorted, "Qi Xing... have you ever been on a date before?"

　Qi woke up and said nothing.

　"Do you know how to plan a date?"

　Qi Xing was speechless.

　"How about letting me make the plan?"

　Out of sympathy for Qi Xing, Elaine couldn't help but ask. Although she had no experience and was a nun before, she had seen pigs run even if she hadn't eaten pork, so she was much more reliable than Qi Xing.

　But no, this definitely won't work! Qi Xing still has to save face, and he absolutely can't accept something like this!

　"What can I do?" Qi Xing said calmly, "It's just a first date, right? Can the sky fall down in the middle of the date? Don't worry, leave it to me."

　rest assured?

　Can you really rest assured?

　However, although she was still worried, Qi Xing's invitation still made Elaine's heart waver. She hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded with a blushing face: "Then I'll leave it to you."

　Of course, she didn't mind making the arrangements herself. But since tomorrow was her first date with Qi Xing, and since Qi Xing had already taken the initiative to take on the work, she decided to leave it to him.

　Just seeing her happy expression, Qi Xing felt that the trip was worth it.

　Tomorrow's date was hastily decided.

　But then he went back to his bedroom to calm down and think about his plan.

　Dating!

　Dating a girl sounds simple, but how do you actually arrange it? Has anyone written a tutorial on this?

　At least Qi Xing had never seen this kind of textbook.

　Sasa was in a bad mood, huddled nearby and watched with a cold eye. Seeing him thinking so hard, she taunted him angrily, "Being obsessed with that unremarkable one-star Puka girl is making you so excited right now. It's really funny to watch."

　"Go away, what 1-star Puka girl?"

　Qi Xing had become somewhat accustomed to hearing the devil's mockery recently, so he didn't take it seriously.

　"Who told you to randomly grade others and determine their rank? Is it ok to rank people like that?"

　"Of course. Break each person down into tags, such as occupation, personality, hair color, body shape, and breast size, and you can categorize and grade them. By breaking them down and rearranging their attributes, you can even create a new character—what's the problem with that?"

　Unexpectedly, Samael responded with such vicious complaints that even Qi Xing was stunned for a moment - she was indeed a devil who despised her own creation.

　"Well, it's not a bad idea to start from the bottom."

　Unexpectedly, Sasa changed the subject again.

　"Wait until you have eaten your fill of a 1-star N card girl, then see the next 2-star R

186

　Even for a 5-star SSR woman, desire will naturally grow. By then, you should understand the true nature of desire."

　Qi Xing immediately scoffed: "Don't talk nonsense. Am I the kind of person who falls in love with every woman I meet? I'm already very satisfied with just one."

　"Ha, we'll see."

　At this point, Sasa, who had been in a depressed mood, finally regained some interest. He came over to take a look at the date itinerary that Qi Xing was thinking about, which was written on a piece of paper - go see a movie first, then have dinner in a restaurant while chatting about their thoughts, then go shopping and do some shopping, and finally take a walk in a place with a beautiful night view in Aomori.

　"puff."

　She was immediately amused by what she saw.

　"What are you laughing at?" Qi Xing became anxious instead.

　"It's okay. Given how much the little nun likes you and her low self-esteem, she'd be happy even if you took her out for fast food. That's perfect."

　"Inferiority complex..." This finally made Qi Xing frown, "I thought her attitude had improved since our last talk."

　"It's not so easy to get rid of the shadows in people's hearts."

　Sasa disagrees.

　"If talking to each other can help me transcend myself, then I definitely won't despise humanity anymore. Knowing that something is wrong and yet still failing to change is what makes people human."

　Coincidentally, at this moment, the halo above Sasa's head suddenly started to spin, causing her to raise her eyebrows.

　No matter how useless she was, she was still Satan Ye, the highest-ranking fallen angel, the Great Demon King. There were things that even a human "Silver Messenger" couldn't possibly do, even with silver coins, but she could. For example, right now, Sasa sensed something.

　Someone was secretly investigating Qi Xing's identity. However, because Qi Xing was currently covered in the mysterious veil of the "Illusion" silver coin, Sasa sensed the investigation first.

　Who was investigating Qi Xing? Sasa followed the causal line and took a closer look, immediately amused.

　What's a tragic anti-hero? What's a demon-man who transforms himself to fight evil after his entire family is wiped out? Don't you little girls have such a fertile imagination?

　If that were all, Sasa would have probably just laughed it off, after all, the devil wouldn't do anything without a profit. But then she thought again, and suddenly she had another crazy idea.

　"Qi wake up, someone is secretly monitoring you."

　she spoke.

　"What?" Qi Xing, having struggled for ten years in this absurd world, was immediately alert. "Enemy?"

　"Not sure yet."

　Sasa didn't lie.

　"Want me to help you hinder the investigation?"

　Qi Xing wasn't stupid enough to accept the devil's kindness. "Why are you so kind today? How can you help?"

　"Let me help you use the power of illusion."

　"Don't even think about it."

　"Please—I haven't touched my own silver coins in a long time—"

　The loli evil god rubbed over, clamped his throat, and used it, acting coquettishly!

　However, waking up has no effect!

　"Your cuteness actually makes me feel like there's something wrong with you." He frowned even more. "What on earth are you trying to do?"

　"I promise," Sasa raised his hand and swore solemnly, "I'm only helping you hinder others' investigation. Your human brain hardware wouldn't be able to handle such a complex matter if it had to operate continuously."

　This is guaranteed to sound unbelievable.

　But then again, demons have a lot of pride, and Samael generally prefers to lie with the truth. Qi Xing didn't think she was "lying"...

　"You are only allowed to use the "illusion" silver coins, and you can only use them to hinder other people's detection. You are not allowed to affect my senses or the senses of my people. And I can revoke your permission at any time - okay?"

　Qi Xing thought about it and decided to add a few prerequisites.

　"make a deal."

　Sasa's golden eyes, with pupils standing up like a dragon, narrowed cutely.

　Of course, she wouldn't be so foolish as to do anything directly to Qi Xing. She knew very well that if she really angered Qi Xing and made him her enemy, her life would definitely become extremely miserable. Sasa still had some common sense. After being beaten by her brother, she knew what it meant to avoid offending the wrong person.

　But she can still manipulate it a bit and do some tricks elsewhere.

　A tragic anti-hero? A demon-man who voluntarily binds himself to the power of a great demon, filled with deep hatred and bitterness? Hahahaha!

　What a perfect script for deceiving ignorant girls!

　Sasa didn't mind cooperating with their imagination and using the power of "illusion" to make them see wrong information.

　Then, when that strange half-angel witch finds out that she has been fooled, her reaction will be even more worth the devil's anticipation!

　069: Why not just go get a room?

　The next morning - that is, the third morning after Qi Xing and the others arrived in Aomori, at the Jingo family.

　"I'm sorry, Master Rin."

　The maid Ayame walked into the shrine maiden's room with a subtle expression.

　"That man you asked me to investigate yesterday...his experience was a bit scary."

　Lin was using his precious rest time to read comics in his room. When he heard his sister calling him, he could only look up helplessly: "What happened, Ayame?"

　"I went to take a peek at the local 'association' files and found the man you sparred with yesterday."
