Zongman: Under One Person, join the chat group

"I have no money."

"It's okay, I never intended to take any money. Consider it as me making friends with you. I, this cat, love making friends with people the most."

The cat spoke up immediately upon hearing Qin Qi's words. She didn't care about human money at all; she only invited Qin Qi to dinner because she found him quite interesting.

I never intended to charge money.

"You're making me a little embarrassed. I originally wanted to use the money to help the kitten get its eyes treated to pay for its food."

Now that you mention it, I feel like this isn't even enough to cover the meal cost.

Qin Qi had only finished half of his sentence, and before he could finish, there was a knock on the door of the ramen shop, and voices could be heard outside.

"I was just passing by. I heard from the monsters in the neighborhood that there was a very hospitable cat demon here, and I thought I'd come and ask for a meal."

The door opened, and a blond monster walked in, carrying a wooden stick with a bundle hanging from it.

He looked like a homeless hoodlum, but Qin Qi recognized him at a glance—the future Lord of Demons and Monsters.

The protagonist, Rikuo Nura, is the grandfather of the great yokai, Nurarihyon! But at this time, he is just a newborn little rascal.

Chapter 115 Nurarihyon: The Phantom Yokai!

Nurarihyon walked in naturally from outside, found a seat, and then looked at the kitten and said:

"Little girl, bring me a bowl of ramen, and while you're at it, get me a box of matches. I need to light my pipe."

"Ah."

The kitten nodded, then naturally went to get the matches, handed them to Nurarihyon, and started making ramen.

The cat watched all this and felt that something was wrong, but it couldn't quite put its finger on what it was.

"The Slippery Ghost is said to sneak into the banquet hall at the beginning and then sit there leisurely drinking tea and smoking."

"The guests all thought he was the host, and the host would also think that the other person was the owner of the house when he saw him."

"Only after the banquet ended and Nurarihyon left would everyone realize something was wrong, but even then, if they tried hard to recall, they couldn't remember who was there."

Qin Qi's voice rang out, and Nurarihyon's fear inside the room was dispelled, as was his ability.

In an instant, both the cat and the kitten regained consciousness, and the cat reacted immediately after regaining consciousness.

"You bastard, I'm going to scratch you to death!"

The cat pounced again, but the Nurarihyon vanished from her sight the next second, and she looked around but couldn't find any trace of him.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't be angry. I was just making a little joke, I didn't mean any harm."

The Nurarihyon's voice came from in front of him. The cat reached out and touched the empty space in front of him, but it was still empty!

The cat was so frightened that its fur stood on end: "You, you're a ghost?!"

"I am not a demon, but a monster. I am the monster Nurarihyon. My name is Nurarihyon. This is my power, which I call Meikyō Shisui."

"When your mind is calm and undisturbed, it's like a mirror; you'll only see the scenery around you!"

The elusive spirit reappeared before everyone's eyes, a smile on his face as he smoked a pipe and exhaled a puff of purple smoke, instantly making the cat dazed again.

He looked at Qin Qi and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be human, but the move you used to break my influence just now should be a demon's move."

Nurarihyon was very curious; a special human who used the power of a yokai was truly fascinating.

"Your 'clear mirror and still water' technique is quite good."

After a moment's thought, Qin Qi instantly understood what Nurarihyon's "Mirror Still Water" was all about.

It is different from the way he blends in with the world.

To blend in with the world means to shed one's own existence and merge into the universe, so that others only see a part of the universe when they see him.

However, Mingjing Zhishui is different. The fear he unleashed through the Nurarihyon's demonic power does not affect the heavens and earth, but rather people.

It completely erases a person's awareness of Nurarihyon; simply put, it means that even if someone stands right in front of you, you can't see them, understand them, or feel them.

Even if you know in your heart that the other person is right in front of you, you have already lost track of them in your mind.

Humans cannot access things beyond their own understanding! They subconsciously ignore things they cannot comprehend.

"call."

Qin Qi blew a breath, dispersing the mist surrounding the cat, and the cat finally woke up from its hallucination.

"I've been scammed again, how awful!"

The cat then came to her senses and realized that she had been tricked again. How awful!

"Hahaha, what an interesting cat."

Nurarihyon laughed heartily. He really didn't have any bad intentions; he just liked playing pranks.

Nurarihyon is this kind of monster.

"Your ramen is ready."

At this moment, the cat girl finished making ramen and placed it in front of Nurarihyon, even though she already knew that she had been tricked.

But she still chose to make ramen for Nurarihyon, for no particular reason other than that she sensed hunger in Nurarihyon.

Her mother once told her that there is no need for a reason to give food to hungry people; you should just do it if you want to.

"This must be what a clear mirror and still water feel like."

Qin Qi studied it for a moment, then immediately used it, disappearing from everyone's sight in the next second!

"Um?!"

Nurarihyon stared at Qin Qi, who had suddenly disappeared. He forgot all about eating his ramen and immediately showed a surprised expression.

When Qin Qi reappeared in front of him, he was even more surprised. At this moment, Qin Qi was radiating the same awe as him!

"Are you some kind of Nurarihyon too? This is the first time I've ever met a monster like me."

Nurarihyon said with some surprise, "Yokai also have races, and different races have different fears."

For example, Nurarihyon is a kind of phantom monster, like a dream, visible but untouchable, and full of incomprehensible fear.

"No, I am human, I just learned your moves."

Qin Qi gained a deeper understanding of what fear was, and as he pondered in his mind, the prototype of a cultivation technique emerged.

"Humanity?"

"You're really baffling. When I first saw you, I thought you were human."

"But now you're filled with the aura of a demon, yet you transform back into a human in the blink of an eye. For a moment, I really can't tell if you're human or a demon!"

Nurarihyon has traveled to many places and seen many monsters during his travels, but this is the first time he has met someone like Qin Qi.

He found it very amusing: "If you were human, how did you manage to learn my moves?"

"It's just a very simple imitation. The monsters' abilities and moves are crude, but the power you use is very strong!"

“Using his own demonic power and unique aura, he formed a power called fear, and used this power to control the aura of heaven and earth.”

"This makes the intangible force tangible, but no matter how special it is, since it exists, it can be imitated."

"By changing the nature of energy and using the same methods to exert the same influence, the same result can be achieved."

Qin Qi felt that the monsters' moves here were indeed very simple, much simpler than the techniques in the Under One Person world.

"I don't understand what you're talking about, but... how about we have a spar?"

Nurarihyon couldn't understand what Qin Qi was saying. They, as yokai, didn't have any cultivation techniques; they relied entirely on their talent and bloodline inheritance.

Even so, their innate talents made them extremely powerful!

"Okay, this should be my first time officially fighting a monster. Cats don't count, those guys are too weak."

Qin Qi also became somewhat interested. This was his first battle since arriving in this world, and also his first time fighting against a monster.

"Wait for me a moment. Once I've eaten, we'll go outside to fight."

Nurarihyon hurriedly ate the ramen, and the moment the ramen entered his mouth, he felt a warm sensation.

"This ramen... is surprisingly delicious."

Nurarihyon didn't notice anything wrong; it just tasted incredibly delicious, with a wonderfully yummy flavor.

After he finished eating, he took his wooden stick and went out onto the street with Qin Qi. It was getting darker by then.

The houses on both sides of the street had all closed their doors, and the street was deserted! The two men got into position, ready to fight!

...........................

"I really don't understand what you guys are thinking. We were just eating a moment ago, how come we're about to start fighting in the blink of an eye?"

Cat looked utterly helpless. She really couldn't understand what these two were up to. They'd barely exchanged two or three words before they were about to start fighting.

"Hahaha, this is the way monsters live!"

The elusive spirit burst into loud laughter. This was exactly what he thought a monster was like: free and unrestrained, doing whatever it pleased.

"The 'Mirror of Still Water' technique didn't work on you just now, but I've just figured out a new move, which I'll name 'Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water'!"

After the shrew finished speaking, his aura began to affect the surroundings, and the already somewhat cold weather became even colder!

There were still some stars in the sky, but now it was completely dark! The sly demon stood still.

"A flower in a mirror or the moon in the water is something you can see but can't touch."

In Qin Qi's eyes, the slippery ghost standing in place was just a false incarnation; the real body had already hidden itself and was beginning to approach him!

In an instant, his aura exploded, tearing apart Nurarihyon's fear like a storm!

The elusive demon, who had been hiding in another space created by his own aura, was instantly exposed.

Qin Qi slapped him, and upon contact, the slippery ghost instantly turned into ink and gradually dissipated.

"My guess is wrong."

The elusive demon appeared behind Qin Qi and struck Qin Qi's shoulder with a wooden stick, but the next second Qin Qi liquefied and vanished into ink.

"Hmm! What a terrifying guy! He learned my moves in just a moment."

The sly devil was even more surprised at this moment, and at the same time he was sure that what Qin Qi had said was true, that the other party had really learned his moves in an instant!

Why was he so sure? Because "Mirror Flower, Water Moon" was a move he had only recently developed and had never shown to anyone before!

It's impossible for Qin Qi to have known about it first and then developed the same move. The only explanation is that the other party learned it instantly after seeing him use it!

"I underestimated you, and I underestimated the world."

"Although there is no systematic cultivation method, the techniques developed based on talent and bloodline are still extremely powerful!"

"The illusion of a flower in a mirror is not simply a mirage; it is essentially the creation of a water surface or a mirror."

“Use your fear to create two spaces, one where I am, and the other where you hide.”

"But if you think that finding the hidden true form will break this trick, then you've fallen right into their trap."

"In both spaces, you are nothing but a mirage, visible but untouchable. The moment I touch you, it doesn't matter whether you are real or fake, because in that instant you will become fake."

Qin Qi understood the trick of the Slippery Ghost at this moment. It was like Schrödinger's cat; before he actually touched the Slippery Ghost, he had no distinction between the real and the fake.

Only after touching them will you be able to distinguish between real and fake! And the actions and attacks on both sides are real!

"I see!"

Nurarihyon slapped his palm, revealing an expression of sudden realization. It was the first time he had ever understood the underlying principle of his ability.

Previously, he only knew that he should do it, and he would do it instinctively, but he didn't really understand the reasons behind it.

Well, all I can say is that talented people are just that unreasonable!

"If this way, neither of us can touch each other, it seems like we can't determine a winner."

Nurarihyon spoke up.

"No, I have already found a way to deal with it."

After Qin Qi finished speaking, he instantly appeared in both spaces and simultaneously reached out and placed his hand on Nurarihyon's shoulder.

"All I need to do is overwhelm your aura with mine, and then make contact with you simultaneously in two spaces, turning the uncertain into the certain!"

"If you are real, then I am real too; if you are fake, then I am fake too. For the fake, the fake is real; for the real, the real is real."
