With his powerful perception, An Xiu keenly realized that the special energy that was originally thought to exist only because of the worldview of seeing the child and therefore floating in the environment was slowly increasing at an imperceptible speed.
Of course, this rate of increase is literally undetectable. If An Xiu does not interfere with this world on a large scale, it will take at least one or two hundred years to barely reach about half the level of the curse world.
This strange phenomenon couldn't help but give An Xiu a strange idea.
Could it be that this world is in a stage similar to the revival of spiritual energy?
For the world as a whole, this phenomenon can naturally be regarded as a good thing, but if one considers the existence of Jianzi's worldview, then An Xiu can be quite certain that the people in this world are in big trouble.
After all, even if the humans in this world are in an environment where spiritual energy is reviving, if no one points it out, it will probably be difficult for them to discover this for a long time in the future. Even if they discover it, it will take a long time for them to gradually develop ways to use the special energy in the environment to strengthen themselves. In comparison, evil spirits do not require so many requirements.
As time goes by, evil spirits will naturally become stronger imperceptibly, and at the same time, the constraints of the so-called visible and invisible rules on evil spirits will become weaker and weaker.
In the end, An Xiu estimated that the painting style of this world would gradually evolve into a worldview of strange revival, but the time required was still very long at present. It would take at least a few years for this situation to occur, and the people in this world did not know it yet.
Chapter 235: Shattered Worldview, Unfortunate Cancer of the Earth
"But this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with me?"
Although he had a premonition that the future life of ordinary people in this world might be miserable, An Xiu had no intention of becoming a saint to help cleanse the world of evil spirits. After all, this situation was not caused by him. At most, he would occasionally show kindness and save those unlucky people he happened to meet.
For example, in An Xiu's perception, there is such an unlucky guy two streets away from his current location.
"Huh...huh..."
On the street at night, a girl in school uniform, with long pink hair and a black bow on her head was running hard. Even though she was out of breath and looked like she was about to collapse from exhaustion at any moment, she had no intention of stopping.
She looked terrified, as if there was an invisible monster chasing her.
No, it cannot be said to be "as if", because from the girl's perspective, there was indeed a tall evil spirit with an abnormally twisted body chasing her.
"Why, why did it become like this!!!"
On her way home at night, she had just played a ghost-seeing ritual she had seen on the Internet on a whim, but ended up with an evil spirit appearing out of nowhere and chasing her.
No one told her that this ritual was so effective!
If time could go back to the past, Fujiwara Chika swore that she would control her curiosity and not suddenly want to find some excitement on the way home.
As for now, looking at the evil spirit behind her that only she can see and is getting closer and closer to her, and feeling her legs getting heavier and heavier as she moves, Fujiwara Chika can guess even with her butt that she will soon be caught up by the evil spirit behind her due to exhaustion, and then fast forward to adult content.
As for whether this adult content is bloody and psychologically uncomfortable or some unspeakable content, it depends on the specific type of evil spirit chasing her.
Anyway, it's not going to be a good ending. After all, the evil spirit behind her has been chasing her all the way. It's impossible that it was just to say hello to her, right?
"No, I can't run anymore. I'm about to be caught up..."
With her physical strength completely exhausted and no longer able to run, Fujiwara Chika fell to the ground, looking at the evil spirit approaching from behind in despair.
"You can see it, you can see it! I'm going to eat you, eat you!!!"
The evil spirit that took this opportunity to approach roared excitedly, and couldn't wait to stretch out its big hands to tear the girl in front of it into pieces.
However, at this critical moment, a bolt of lightning struck from the sky and landed precisely between the evil spirit and the girl.
In an instant, the evil spirit that was previously showing its fangs and claws was reduced to ashes under the baptism of lightning. The dazzling light also made the girl lying on the ground close her eyes, and she opened them again after a while.
What came into view was a large street that had melted due to the high temperature. As for the evil spirits from before, they had long disappeared.
"Yes, are you saved?"
Watching the scene in front of her, Fujiwara Chika stood up carefully, but because her legs were weak and she was exhausted, she had to hold on to the wall to barely support her body.
"Strictly speaking, you can only be considered temporarily saved."
Before Fujiwara Chika could think about the lightning that was so powerful but did not hurt her at all, a voice came from behind the girl.
Then, under Fujiwara Chika's gaze as if she had seen a ghost, the originally dark street was instantly covered by a thick shadow, and countless pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the darkness, staring at the girl in the center.
The next second, the girl's body sank into the shadows as if falling into a swamp.
When Fujiwara Chika opened her eyes again, she found that she had arrived at the rooftop without knowing when, and not far away from her was a man who looked older than her.
Of course, considering her previous experience, there was no way Fujiwara Chika would treat Anxiu in front of her as an ordinary person. On the contrary, her worldview was first shattered by the existence of evil spirits, and then she was brought here by the Black Shadow Corps, who appeared in a more villainous way than the villains. Facing Anxiu, who obviously looked like the mastermind behind the scenes, Fujiwara Chika was already extremely alert and had imagined no less than a hundred conspiracy theories in her mind.
In Fujiwara Chika's eyes at this moment, An Xiu in front of her was even more terrifying than ten thousand evil spirits combined!
"There's no need to be so nervous. After all, I was the one who saved you just now."
Noticing the nervous look on Fujiwara Chika's face, An Xiu spoke.
Fujiwara Chika had no doubts about this. After all, there was no need for the man in front of her to lie to her.
"Thank you very much for your help. Um, what kind of monster was that that suddenly appeared and chased me earlier? And what is your name?"
"My name is Anxiu, and the monster that was chasing you earlier was an evil spirit."
Only An Xiu answered.
"There are many evil spirits in this world, but normally they cannot harm ordinary people. After all, evil spirits can only harm those who can see them."
"However, due to a slight change in the world today, you can understand that the evil spirits are growing at a slower pace. The so-called visible and invisible rules that constrain them are becoming increasingly weaker. Some of the faster-growing evil spirits may only need a moment's opportunity to directly manifest and harm ordinary people."
For example, the ghost-seeing ritual that Fujiwara Chika performed on a whim.
It's not that the so-called ghost-seeing ritual is so effective, but that when Fujiwara Chika was playing the ghost-seeing ritual, her pursuit of excitement and fear of evil spirits became the best aids for the evil spirits to appear. In addition, there happened to be an evil spirit nearby, so even if she didn't awaken the Yin-Yang eyes, Fujiwara Chika literally saw a ghost.
Fortunately, Fujiwara Chika is still just an ordinary person after all, so the ghost-seeing effect is only temporary and only works on the evil spirit that just chased Fujiwara Chika. Otherwise, if she had seen other evil spirits during the escape, the girl in front of her probably would not have survived until she met Anxiu.
"So, that's how it is..."
Could it be that evil spirits, which used to only exist in fantasy, actually exist in reality?
Receiving so much information suddenly, coupled with the absurd yet exciting experience just now, made Fujiwara Chika feel a little dazed.
But one thing is certain, after listening to Anxiu's words, Fujiwara Chika realized that her previous experience was indeed caused by herself.
As long as I don't have time to play games like seeing ghosts, ordinary people like me will probably never be attacked by evil spirits in my life.
No, according to what An Xiu said before, those evil spirits are constantly growing, and the visible and invisible rules that bind the evil spirits are gradually weakening. In other words, things like today's will only become more and more frequent in the future, and those evil spirits may not even need any opportunity to directly harm humans?
Thinking of this, Fujiwara Chika shuddered.
To be honest, even as an optimistic girl, she could no longer be optimistic after An Xiu told her the cruel truth about the world.
What will this world become in the future?
Chapter 236: The card is exposed, Fujiwara's father is shocked
Tokyo, in front of the Fujiwara family's residence.
With the shadows wriggling, Anxiu and Fujiwara Chika appeared here with the help of the Black Shadow Corps' teleportation ability.
The reason for coming here is very simple. Because of the previous experience, Fujiwara Chika was afraid to walk home alone at night, and An Xiu, who had just arrived in this world, happened to have no place to live temporarily, so the two hit it off.
Anxiu sent Fujiwara Chika home, and the Fujiwara family provided Anxiu with accommodation.
Of course, that's what she said, but it would be a lie for Fujiwara Chika to say she wasn't nervous when she brought a grown man home for the first time.
She had no idea how she would explain it to her family.
If Anxiu is willing to cooperate with her, this problem can be easily solved. She just needs to go back first, and then Anxiu can hide and sneak into the Fujiwara family to find her. At most, the two of them can sleep in the same room.
Unfortunately, An Xiu rejected Fujiwara Chika's proposal outright.
"Why are you hiding? I came to the Fujiwara family to enjoy myself, not to play hide-and-seek with your family."
"Besides, why would you need to explain? Why not just recount what happened before? Why make up another excuse?"
"Huh? But normally, shouldn't things like this be kept secret? About the evil spirits and your previous abilities?"
Fujiwara Chika looked confused. She was really thinking seriously about An Xiu. She had to provide An Xiu with a temporary place to live, and also help keep An Xiu's abilities secret to prevent people with ulterior motives from coveting An Xiu.
Born into the political family of Fujiwara, Fujiwara Chika is certainly not as naive as she appears to be. She knows very well that once a person like Anxiu who possesses special powers is exposed, he will inevitably be targeted by countless people.
By then, although he would not be sliced into pieces, he would inevitably be surrounded by various forces and eventually become a guinea pig and be imprisoned for research for the rest of his life.
As a result, in order to prevent An Xiu, the person who saved her, from falling into danger, An Xiu himself had no intention of hiding anything?
"There's nothing wrong with your considerations, but they're all based on our weak position."
"But the reality is, we're not weak. At least I'm probably much stronger than you think. So even if the situation you envisioned really happens, it will only be others who suffer."
So, under Anxiu's tough attitude, Fujiwara Chika had no choice but to bring Anxiu with her and walk into the Fujiwara residence through the main gate in broad daylight.
As the residence of the Fujiwara family, a political family with a long history, the Fujiwara residence naturally covers a large area. Anxiu and Fujiwara Chika walked across the lawn and walked for a distance before arriving at the main building where the Fujiwara family usually stayed.
"I am back."
It was clearly a very ordinary greeting, but at this moment, Fujiwara Chika sounded extremely guilty when she said it.
In the living room of the Fujiwara family, there was only a middle-aged man sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. This man was Fujiwara Chika's father.
Seeing that only her father was there, and her sister, Mengye and grandfather were all gone, Fujiwara Chika patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he was prepared to confess honestly at An Xiu's request, it would still be easier to explain one by one than to a bunch of people at once.
"Qianhua, why are you back a little late today... Wait, who is this man?"
Fujiwara's father, who had been planning to ask why he came back later than usual today when he heard the door open, just looked up and saw Anxiu walking into the hall with his daughter.
Damn it, although the family rules of the Fujiwara family are not as cold and inhumane as those of other big families in Tokyo, they are still quite strict. Under such circumstances, how could his daughter dare to bring a man home so blatantly at night?
However, before he could question, Fujiwara's father was pulled aside by Fujiwara Chika, who had anticipated this and started to explain.
After all, if you don't explain it right away, do you have to wait until your family members question you and make everyone unhappy before you come out and explain it clearly?
Does Fujiwara Chika look like someone with such a low IQ?
Just like that, after Fujiwara Chika explained everything that had happened to her before, Fujiwara's father returned to Anxiu, who had sat down on the sofa at some point.
Even though Fujiwara Chika repeatedly assured her that everything she said was true, Fujiwara's father still seemed a little skeptical, but at least he was much more cautious than before.
"Thank you, Mr. Anxiu, for sending Qianhua home safely. However, what Qianhua just said is too bizarre. Without any evidence, it is difficult for us, the Fujiwara family, to believe it, so..."
Fujiwara's father's meaning was very clear. Although Fujiwara Chika's previous explanations were all true to her own experiences, for the Fujiwara family, who were ordinary people, relying solely on verbal descriptions without having seen it with their own eyes was somewhat unrealistic and even suspected of being a lie.
It's like your daughter brings home a yellow-haired guy riding a will-o'-the-wisp one day and tells you that he's not actually a yellow-haired guy riding a will-o'-the-wisp but a Ghost Rider, who saved your daughter while destroying the demons.
If he didn't have enough trust in his daughter, and if Fujiwara's father didn't have enough cunning, anyone else would have just said you were kidding and kicked them out.
After all, it's an evil spirit that controls thunder and releases darkness, which sounds outrageous. If you want people to believe it, you have to provide some evidence, right?
An Xiu naturally understood this, so he was not angry. After all, it was just a very reasonable question.
So under the gaze of Fujiwara's father and Fujiwara Chika, An Xiu calmly snapped his fingers.
The next second, countless pairs of scarlet eyes opened in the shadows in every corner of the hall. Then, one after another, black shadow ninjas wearing pitch-black ninja uniforms and with inhuman blue-black skin emerged from the shadows, filling the entire hall in a blink of an eye.
Feeling the cold murderous aura coming from the black shadow ninja, Fujiwara's father, who was surrounded in the center, froze all over and didn't dare to move.
Although in the original Jackie Chan Adventures, the Black Shadow Corps were just miscellaneous soldiers who were defeated by the protagonists one by one, but as the product of the power of black energy, even the most basic ninja corps, the individual strength is far beyond that of ordinary people without the blessing of righteousness.
After all, a shadow ninja who can climb walls and climb rooftops, has normal IQ, can skillfully use various weapons and vehicles, and most importantly, can be resurrected infinitely and can move freely in the shadows with the help of the Shadow Kingdom, in the ordinary world, in exaggerated cases, only one may be enough to destroy an army.
Even in a head-on combat, a shadow ninja can easily slaughter dozens or even hundreds of ordinary people.
No wonder Fujiwara's father, surrounded by the Black Shadow Army, did not dare to move on the spot.
At this moment, Fujiwara's father, who was sitting stiffly in front of Anxiu, forced a smile on his face and stood up cautiously and tremblingly.
"I believe everything Qianhua said before is true, but regarding the arrival of the adults, this matter is beyond my ability to handle. Please allow me to inform my father."
Chapter 237: The Fujiwara family’s choice, Anxiu’s reward
Fujiwara residence, Tokyo.
It was still in the hall, but the person sitting opposite Anxiu had changed from Fujiwara's father to an old man over fifty years old.
He was the person Fujiwara's father had gone to look for earlier, and he was also Fujiwara Chika's grandfather and the current head of the Fujiwara family.
However, the head of the Fujiwara family did not look very good at this time. His old face was pale and there was still some residual fear.
The reason for this is very simple. In order to prevent Fujiwara's father from repeating the previous process on Fujiwara's father after calling Fujiwara Chika's grandfather, An Xiu directly asked the Black Shadow Corps to pick him up.
After first experiencing the shock of the Black Shadow Corps and then being pulled aside by Fujiwara's father to explain, the head of the Fujiwara family quickly understood what had happened, and then he gritted his teeth and came to Anxiu.
Although evil spirits and people with super powers sounded bizarre, after being dragged by the Black Shadow Corps and forced to experience the feeling of moving through the shadows, the head of the Fujiwara family had to believe what his granddaughter and son said, and he spoke carefully.
"From what Chika said, the reason why the Master visited the Fujiwara family was because he hoped that our family could provide him with a place to stay. I have the full authority to agree to this."
"Besides that, if there is anything else that our Fujiwara family can do for you, Your Excellency, please feel free to ask. The Fujiwara family is willing to do its utmost to serve you."
