The demon monk in the second dimension

"Is the situation really that dangerous?"

Sitting on the stool next to her, Natsumi, who was playing with Yotsuya Miko, looked up and spoke.

"You can feel it too, right? The air around you is becoming increasingly unbearable, and your soul power is draining away every day. You're not a psychic, and you don't have anything to rely on. If this continues, you'll disappear in a month at most, or even less."

"dad?"

Upon hearing that her father was about to lose his soul, Yotsuya Miko showed a look of panic.

Mr. Yotsuya did not refute this.

Yotsuya Miko's face was streaked with tears, and she pleaded with Natsuji.

"My lord, do you have a way to save my father?"

Yes, there are two ways.

As Yotsuya Miko looked on expectantly, Natsumi raised two fingers wrapped in bandages.

"First, turn your father into one of those wandering spirits you usually see. By devouring other wandering spirits, he can try to survive the ever-increasing tide of spiritual energy. But if he continues like this, he will lose his mind and become like other evil wandering spirits, even attacking his own family."

"Second, give him a vessel to possess, allowing the vessel to absorb and filter the toxic spiritual energy to preserve his life. Although he can retain his consciousness in this way, his life and death will be controlled by the possessor from now on, and he will lose his freedom."

Both methods have their own drawbacks, and the drawbacks are quite significant.

In Yotsuya's father's view, the first method was as good as not saying anything at all.

If he were truly the kind of man who would do anything to survive, he wouldn't have left behind any obsessions when he died, protecting his family as a wandering spirit.

The second option, in his view, was like working for someone else, only with harsher conditions, but still acceptable.

Yotsuya Miko thought so too.

She knelt on the ground and performed a full-body kowtow directly to Xia Zhi, slamming her head against the floor with a loud thud, giving Xia Zhi a solid, resounding thud.

"Please, Gods, save my father!"

When Mr. Yotsuya saw that his daughter had knelt down, he sighed inwardly and knelt down beside her as well.

What Yotsuya-sensei really wanted to say was that he was already a dead man, so dying again wouldn't hurt.

But he couldn't bear to leave his family, not to mention that the wandering spirits would evolve and start attacking humans a month later.

What will I do when I get there, seeing my son, Kyosuke, and my wife?

"Please, God, take me in!"

Xia Zhi was not surprised at all by the two men's choices.

He did want to take on a subordinate so he wouldn't have to do everything himself.

In case you encounter a situation where you are unable to be in two places at once, you will be prepared.

“Mr. Yotsuya, I can help you for the sake of your son. But I don’t have anything for you to rely on right now. It depends on your luck and whether you can meet someone in the near future.”

"However, with Jianzi here, I believe there is still hope for this matter."

Upon seeing Xia Zhi's reply, Si Gu saw that Zi's face showed joy.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The recent events have been far too dramatic for an ordinary high school girl, but it's so good that her father was able to stay!

……

The next morning, Yotsuya Miko went out to catch the bus.

It's the weekend, and she and Yuri Kawana had arranged to meet up.

At the same time, she also wants to talk to the other party about letting Yurikawa Hana live in her home.

In the past few days, she has been extremely tense and mentally exhausted because of the wandering spirit incident.

Xia Zhi cleared away all the wandering spirits last night, so she can finally get a good night's sleep.

As a result, I overslept!

Yotsuya Miko didn't even eat breakfast. She grabbed two slices of bread, put them in a plastic bag, and went out to catch the bus.

Mr. Yotsuya called out from behind as she hurried away.

"Jianzi, don't stay out too late and come home!"

Summer Solstice leisurely followed Yotsuya Miko into the car.

There were several other people sitting on the bus.

Yotsuya Miko watched as Natsumi, who had boarded the carriage with him, walked to the front row. With a flick of her wrist, she pulled a wood-chopping axe out of her cloak and held it in her hand.

【Come again? 】

She sighed and watched as Xia Zhi swung her axe down, severing the head of a "passenger" like a ball.

The "passenger's" features were grotesque. Although it had lost one head, it still had three.

Faced with Xia Zhi's attack, the three heads showed anger, opened their mouths to a 180-degree angle that no normal person could do, and were about to bite Xia Zhi hard.

Xia Zhi infused his soul power into the woodcutter's axe, extending a black, gleaming blade that swept across with sweeping, powerful strokes.

puff!

The remaining three heads of the wandering spirit were cleanly severed in two by his axe, and the wandering spirit itself turned into a cloud of gray mist and dissipated.

Wearing headphones, Miko Yotsuya asked Natsuji a question.

"My lord, how can I find the artifact for my father to use?"

Summer Solstice sat next to Yotsuya Miko, watching the scenery outside the window drift by.

“They might be found in shrines and temples.”

"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yotsuya Miko politely thanked Xia Zhi, then took out her phone and went online to look up famous shrines and temples nearby.

When they arrived at the coffee shop where Yurikawa Hana had arranged to meet, Yurikawa Hana had missed her stop on the train and asked Yotsuya Miko to wait a little longer.

Meanwhile, Yotsuya Miko watched as Natsumi picked up an axe and walked into the coffee shop with great interest.

Yotsuya Miko:......

Am I really that attractive to these wandering spirits?

Chapter 412 Aquaman vs. Aquaman

Inside the coffee shop, a female ghost was following a handsome young man with dyed blonde hair, dressed in clean designer clothes, looking very presentable.

Yotsuya Miko watched as Xia Zhi walked over, raised her right hand and chopped down with an axe. The female ghost made no move to resist and turned into mist and dissipated.

Seeing the female ghost practically offering her neck for execution, Yotsuya Miko felt very strange.

If you don't understand, ask.

"My Lord God, won't these wandering spirits rebel?"

Xia Zhi smiled.

"This kind of wandering spirit is the normal situation. Wandering spirits that can resist and actively attack other wandering spirits are not to be trifled with. This kind of wandering spirit is very likely to evolve successfully in a month and cause considerable casualties to humans."

Of course, these wandering spirits also provide Xia Zhi with a considerable amount of soul power.

After waiting for a while, Miko Yotsuya finally arrived at the coffee shop.

The two little girls chatted as they queued to buy coffee and cake.

After a while, the woman the blond young man had been waiting for finally arrived.

Like the blond handsome man, this woman also had a young and beautiful Shibuya-style fashion outfit.

But behind this woman were six wandering spirits, all of whom looked like sycophants.

"Yako is mine!"

"Yako, look at me!"

"Kaiko!"

However, if Yoshiko could actually see these six sycophantic ghosts, then the sycophants would immediately transform into a pack of wolves, devouring her completely.

Seeing this woman's ability to attract attention, not only Yotsuya Miko, but even Natsumi was shocked.

"This is the legendary female sea queen! A heavily armed truck, it needs to carry six spare tires to get on the road!"

Xia Zhi walked forward with a sigh, but that didn't stop him from chopping a backup suitor to death with an axe.

Those simps deserve a terrible death!

"A scumbag and a scumbag woman, birds of a feather flock together, they'll only hurt each other!"

……

Sitting at the two-person table, Yotsuya Miko chatted with Yurikawa Hana while pondering how to persuade her to move into her home.

Should we tell Xiaohua the truth? But wouldn't that scare her?

Miko Yotsuya was torn between her options and didn't make a decision until she left the cafe.

Like most high school girls, after finishing their meal, the two decided to go shopping.

Inside the mall, Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up when she saw a counter selling prayer beads.

[Rosary beads have long been associated with subduing evil spirits; they might be useful!]

But Xia Zhi poured cold water on her.

“For ordinary people, wearing prayer beads is somewhat useful, as it can drive away ordinary wandering spirits. But for you, unless the prayer beads are personally blessed by the Buddha or Bodhisattva, they will not have any effect in suppressing them.”

Yotsuya Miko: o(╥﹏╥)o

Although Xia Zhi said that, she still didn't believe it and bought two strings of prayer beads.

One string for myself, one string for Lily Chuanhua.

Even if it has some psychological effect, it's good!

Leaving the mall, Yurikawa was delighted that Yotsuya Miko had bought her a gift and led the way.

She skipped and hopped to the front of a small alley, pointed at it, and laughed.

"I know a confectionery shop here that makes really delicious daifuku with a bottom! Just walk through this alley."

This alley was nothing out of the ordinary for Yurikawa, but to Natsumi and Yotsuya Miko it was a chaotic mess.

There were many wandering spirits resembling homeless people dwelling there.

A relatively weak wandering spirit lay on the ground, its limbs twitching; it had likely frozen to death before its death.

A wandering spirit crouched in a corner, holding a newspaper, maintaining its appearance from when it was alive.

A wandering spirit leaned against the wall, its hands covering its head, and there were signs of being beaten on its body.

There was also a giant wandering spirit, about two meters tall, that looked like a prisoner.

He had a chain around his neck that was being pulled upwards, his tongue was sticking out long, and his face was bluish-purple.

This is a hanged ghost, dressed in a uniform, looking like a death row inmate.

Xia Zhi immediately turned her attention to this rather unusual wandering spirit.

Upon seeing Xia Zhi wielding an axe, this guy was actually able to react to his threat.

He clenched his fists and roared at Xia Zhi, trying to intimidate her.

"It itches so bad! It itches so bad!"

This may seem like a meaningless statement, but it is actually the spiritual energy that is eroding and transforming the wandering soul's body, causing it to feel uncomfortable.

If things continue like this, this wandering spirit might eventually evolve into a ghost lock or a hanging ghost or something.

But now, he clearly doesn't have that opportunity anymore.

Xia Zhi brandished his wood-chopping axe, a flash of cold light passing through his hand.

The next moment, he injected his soul power into the wood-chopping axe, and a thin layer of black light, like a blade, covered the axe blade, as if the axe blade had been magnified several times proportionally.

Seeing Xia Zhi's murderous intent, the tall wandering spirit raised his right arm and charged towards him.
