The demon monk in the second dimension

However, Xia Zhi did not stop because of the other party's unusual physical form.

He swung his axe several times, black soul power bursting forth, chopping the spider spirit into five or six pieces, until she dissipated into pure soul power, only then did he stop.

As the spider monster died, the young man suddenly felt much lighter.

He nodded to Yurikawa Hana and turned to leave.

"Since it's already been taken, then forget about it."

Yotsuya Miko turned her head and discovered that, with the death of the spider monster, the cat spirit inside the man's body also began to change.

The eerie black gas on them gradually dissipated, transforming from little devils into cat-like creatures similar to those on the bald man, gently licking his face.

He really was a good person!

Yotsuya Miko felt a little guilty about the criticism she had just harbored towards the other person.

After the battle, Natsume came to Yotsuya Miko's side.

"If I don't kill this monster, this guy will be dead when she awakens. From now on, you and your friends will only be in greater danger because of your special constitution."

It was in the park that Miko Yotsuya and Hana Yurikawa parted ways.

From this point on, the two of them went their separate ways.

Yotsuya Miko exhaled, put on her headphones, and pretended to communicate with someone through them. As she walked home, she asked Natsumi.

"Who exactly are you? I can see things, but what are those things that ordinary people can't see? And what's with Xiaohua and me having special physical constitutions?"

"Don't rush, I'll explain it to you slowly."

Summer Solstice followed beside Yotsuya Miko, with passersby occasionally passing through his body.

"What you see are wandering spirits, formed from the lingering attachments left behind after death. You can call them ghosts or phantoms."

"Unless one has an extremely strong obsession or dies a violent death, they generally will not become a wandering ghost."

“These wandering spirits are bound by rules and cannot harm ordinary people, but they are very dangerous to you or people like Yurikawa Hana who have special constitutions.”

"I won't reveal my identity anyway, you wouldn't know. I've already explained your constitution before; you can see spirits and attract them as well."

"But don't worry. With the revival of spiritual energy, in another month, the weaker of these spirits will die, while the stronger ones will gain physical bodies. Everyone except you will be able to see them."

"At the same time, they will also attack ordinary people who trigger their killing rules. However, your physical condition will not change, and you will still attract them to approach."

Chapter 410 Lord God

"Wait a month, and they'll start attacking ordinary people?"

Yotsuya Miko's heart sank upon hearing this, and she quickly asked Natsumi.

Is there any way to stop it?

Xia Zhi shook her head.

"It's a pity. Preventing the resurgence of spiritual energy is as difficult as achieving world peace, so there isn't one. Humanity's most desperate moment is about to arrive, and it's beyond human power to stop."

At this moment, Xia Zhi was unaware that this world had actually experienced a mysterious revival before, but its spiritual energy had been successfully severed.

However, now, the poisonous spiritual energy is slowly spreading throughout the world again.

Some things that were sealed and restricted slowly began to emerge.

Even if Yotsuya Miko knew about this, as an ordinary high school girl, she wouldn't be able to solve it.

Xia Zhi continued.

“Your classmate, Yuri Kawana, possesses powerful life energy, which also attracts spirits. When harmful wandering spirits approach, her life energy is depleted in order to protect her body. Once her life energy is exhausted, she will be in danger.”

"However, life energy can be replenished by eating, so there is no need to worry before the soul evolves."

Yotsuya suddenly realized what was happening.

"No wonder Xiaohua is so greedy and always complains of being hungry. So that's what happened!"

She pondered for a moment, her face showing worry, and tried to make a request to Xia Zhi.

"Do you have any way to help us?"

Xia Zhi seemed quite easy to talk to.

After all, he's not human anymore; he's all alone in this world, and he can go anywhere.

"I don't mind. I can stay by your side to protect you and deal with the wandering spirits you attract. I don't plan to leave for now. As for Yurikawa Hana, we can only pray that the wandering spirits she encounters are powerful, so that she can die a quick and painless death."

Why can't they just want a quick and painless death?

Does that mean Xiaohua is doomed?

Yotsuya Miko was completely devastated.

However, seeing that Xia Zhi, despite her terrifying appearance, had been clearing away those monster spirits since she appeared and was also very easy to talk to, I couldn't help but feel bolder.

She made her request to Xia Zhi.

"If I let her live with me, can you protect her too? Please!"

Xia Zhi glanced at Yotsuya Miko, chuckled, and spoke.

"You should know the principle of equivalent exchange, right? I can indeed protect you; after all, it's the same whether you're herding one sheep or two. But have you considered what will happen if I leave? Are you just going to crouch down and defend yourself?"

"You are actually a deity, aren't you? If a deity wants to leave, there's nothing I can do! I can only try to persuade the deity to stay."

These past few days, I've suddenly been able to see wandering spirits, almost every day I'm walking between life and death. Yotsuya Miko, who has been working hard to hone her acting skills, can see them very clearly.

"According to the deity, in another month, these wandering spirits will begin indiscriminate killing, and Xiaohua and I will be their targets. Now, I can only cling to the deity as my lifeline!"

She walked into a small alley, put her hands together, and bowed to Xia Zhi as if she were addressing a deity in a shrine.

"I have a mother and a younger brother at home. I'm just an ordinary high school girl, and I don't know what to do. If there's anything the deity needs me to do, please give the order!"

Natsuki was fairly satisfied with Yotsuya Miko's attitude.

"Not bad. At least you're not the kind of fool who thinks 'I'm weak, therefore I'm right' or 'Everyone in the world is your father.' Otherwise, I'd turn around and leave right now. If you want to take Baihe Chuanhua, then take her over. The spiritual energy revival is getting more and more intense, and both of you are people who are easily in danger."

"Also, you could try looking for a nearby shrine or an Onmyoji (yin-yang master). Maybe you'll find one or two with real skills among all the fakes."

In response, Yotsuya Miko could only leverage her country's strength of "craftsmanship" by bowing a few more times to the summer solstice.

"My lord, thank you so much!"

……

When Xia Zhi followed Yotsuya Miko back to her home, she was immediately shocked.

"One, two, three, four, five... Your house is so small, yet there are so many lingering traces of wandering spirits? You truly are something else, Jianzi!"

Yotsuya Miko chuckled twice, then whispered something.

"Haha, I don't want to either."

Xia Zhi grabbed an axe from his gray cloak, ready to wreak havoc.

Yotsuya Miko suddenly remembered something and quickly said to Natsumi.

"My lord, please wait! My father is inside!"

Xia Zhi waved.

"Okay, it's alright."

As soon as Yotsuya Miko opened the door, Natsumi threw the axe in her hand with a whoosh.

The axe that cleared the way stirred up a gust of wind, startling Mr. Yotsuya, who was sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and blowing his hair and the newspaper in his hand.

Xia Zhi's axe cleaved directly into the body of a long-limbed, non-human-shaped wandering spirit, striking its neck and splitting it in two.

Soon, the wandering soul dissipated as soul power.

Yotsuya Miko pretended not to see anything and smiled at her younger brother in the living room.

"Kyosuke, Mom, I'm home!"

On the sofa, Kyosuke Yotsuya, who was watching TV, greeted Miko Yotsuya.

"Sister, you are back."

Yotsuya's mother, who was cooking in the kitchen, also spoke.

"Jianzi, you're back! Dinner will be ready soon!"

At this moment, Mr. Yotsuya stood up.

He pushed up his glasses and looked at Xia Zhi with a serious expression.

Xia Zhi grabbed the axe handle and pulled the axe that had been chopped into the wall, but there was no mark on the wall where the axe had chopped into it.

He turned to look at a gigantic wandering spirit with a horse's head, flicked his axe blade, and infused it with his soul power.

Seeing that Natsumi was about to fight the giant wandering spirit, Mr. Yotsuya could only stand in front of the sofa, trying to protect his two children.

"Uh!!!"

Seeing Xia Zhi's aggressive appearance, the horse-headed ghost tried to stand up, but found that the room, which was less than three meters wide, made it impossible for him to stand up.

Xia Zhi seized the opportunity and chopped off half of the horse-headed ghost's shoulder along with its head with one swing of his axe.

The wandering spirit of the horse head unwillingly dissipated as its soul power.

He was gone before he could even make a move.

Seeing this, Yotsuya Miko greeted Yotsuya Kyosuke and opened the bathroom door first.

Xia Zhi followed Yotsuya Miko inside and killed the wandering spirits in the bathroom.

Afterwards, Miko Yotsuya and Natsumi cleaned the house room by room until the entire house was finally cleaned.

At this point, Mr. Yotsuya also realized it.

Her own daughter brought this cloaked, bandaged fellow to deal with the wandering spirits in the house.

Later, when Yotsuya Miko brought Natsumi back to her room, Mr. Yotsuya sighed and quickly followed her in.

Chapter 411 Miko Yotsuya's Request

Inside the room, as Mr. Yotsuya walked in, Miko Yotsuya's gaze was very complicated.

She met Mr. Yotsuya's eyes, her gaze filled with longing, emotion, and a touch of worry and fear.

"……dad."

Unlike other wandering spirits, Mr. Yotsuya did not attack his daughter. Instead, he gave Yotsuya Miko a smile that was no different from his usual smile.

"Jianzi, you're back."

"father!"

Yotsuya Miko's eyes reddened.

She reached out her hands and lunged forward, trying to hug her father, but she passed right through his slightly golden body.

Yotsuya Miko stumbled and almost fell, then froze on the spot.

Mr. Yotsuya could only smile helplessly.

"Son, your father is already dead."

Yotsuya Miko's expression instantly darkened.

She sat on the bed and tried to reach her hand towards her father, but it passed right through her again, as expected.

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's dejected look, Mr. Yotsuya felt bad too.

But soon, his expression turned serious, and he spoke to his daughter.

"Seeing me is not a good thing. This world is dangerous, you'd better pretend you can't see me, just like before! And who is this gentleman?"

Mr. Yotsuya looked at Natsumi with a questioning gaze.

"This is a deity!"

Yotsuya Miko told Yotsuya-sensei about what Xia Zhi had told her: that a month later, demons would run rampant.

Mr. Yotsuya's expression instantly turned serious.
