The demon monk in the second dimension

Being an ordinary high school girl is so hard!

……

After leaving Mikotani Shrine, Yotsuya Miko and Natsumi visited Meiji Shrine, Tokyo Daijingu Shrine, Senso-ji Temple, and other famous shrines in Tokyo.

Perhaps because of the large number of people here and its status as a famous tourist attraction since ancient times, these shrines and temples do not contain any large creatures like the fox god.

However, where there are many people, there are many oddballs, and where there are many oddballs, there are many wandering spirits.

With Yotsuya Miko acting as a ghost attractor, Natsume used his axe to kill many ghosts.

Among them were several wandering spirits from overseas.

According to Yotsuya Miko, she has been relaxing at shrines and temples recently, and she always has a smile on her face when she comes back. She also talked to Yotsuya Kyosuke about her travel experiences, which put Yotsuya Miko at ease.

It seems that travel is quite effective in alleviating pregnancy symptoms.

As time passed, after visiting all the famous shrines and temples in Tokyo, half a month had gone by since I met Yotsuya Miko on the summer solstice.

Recently, during the summer solstice, it was discovered that the wandering spirits around the area were starting to look more and more like humans.

At the same time, the number of wandering spirits has decreased significantly, but their strength has increased.

All the weaker wandering spirits have disappeared; the weakest now are at the level of the former prisoner wandering spirit and spider monster wandering spirit.

Xia Zhi judged that these wandering souls would change again as the spiritual energy continued to recover.

Because many wandering spirits have begun to actively devour other wandering spirits to make themselves stronger.

"Recently, the concentration of spiritual energy has been increasing, but the density has also been increasing. It's like it's changing from a liquid to a solid, making it difficult to control."

Xia Zhi circulated his soul power for half a day, but all he managed to get was a thin layer of black light attached to the axe blade.

It lacked the power of the half-meter-long black axe blade that could be unleashed with a flick of the right hand before.

"If the density of spiritual energy continues to increase, I will lose the ability to control spiritual power outside my body, and many spells will be unable to be cast."

However, correspondingly, with the revival of spiritual energy, the skull, cloak, burlap sack, rope, and axe on Xia Zhi's body are all being strengthened.

It's like in a low-level spiritual world, a slap can summon a dragon, while in a high-level spiritual world, a slap can only shatter a large blue stone.

Xia Zhi clenched her fist, feeling the black mud inside her body being strengthened.

"I think I've also awakened a pretty good ability."

……

At noon, while Xia Zhi and Yotsuya Miko were in front of an abandoned shrine, she suddenly received a call from Yurikawa Hana.

"What? Xiaohua, you almost fainted in class today because of low blood sugar? How is that possible!"

With all that food she eats every day, it's no wonder she has low blood sugar!

There must be a powerful wandering spirit around her, consuming a lot of her life energy!

"Yes! I ate so much, but the nurse in the infirmary said I had low blood sugar and that eating some glucose chocolate would help me regain my energy."

Even though she knew she was a foodie, Yurikawa Hana felt embarrassed about it and complained to Yotsuya Miko.

"What should I do? I've been eating all the time, but I'm still so hungry. I've been getting hungry more and more easily these past few days, and even though I have so much food in my bag, it's still not enough!"

After hearing Yurikawa's description, Yotsuya Miko looked worried and glanced at Natsumi beside her.

"My Lord, is Xiao Hua in danger?"

Xia Zhi nodded, having only found an ordinary wandering spirit in this abandoned shrine.

"You guessed right, the spiritual energy recovery has been much faster than before these past few days. We need to head to the school immediately."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yotsuya Miko thanked Natsume and ran out of the shrine while continuing to speak to Yurikawa Hana.

"Xiaohua, I'm coming right away! Besides feeling nauseous, do you feel uncomfortable in any other way?"

"Oh? Jianzi, are you coming over?"

When Baihe Chuanhua heard that her low blood sugar had even caused her best friend, who was temporarily on leave from school, to come to the school, she became even more embarrassed.

"No way! It's so embarrassing!"

She chewed on the chocolate while looking down, completely unaware of the dangerous situation she was in.

Behind Baihechuanhua's back, which she couldn't see, a bluish-black hand remained pressed against her back.

Upon closer inspection, the hand still emitted a faint stench of decay, but this was masked by the girl's natural fragrance and the rich aroma of chocolate in the room.

As the palm consumed the energy, the golden life energy radiance on Yurikawa's body was constantly decreasing, flickering like a light bulb about to burn out.

At this point, there weren't many chocolates and candies left next to Yurikawa Hana.

……

Yotsuya Miko hailed a taxi and sped off to the school.

Throughout the entire process, she never put down her phone and kept chatting with Yuri Kawana.

However, the distance between the abandoned shrine and the school is quite long, and it takes half an hour to get there even by taxi, which makes Yotsuya Miko very anxious.

When the school came into view, she suddenly heard Yurikawa Hana say something.

"Oh, we're out of chocolate and candy. I'm still very hungry, but I'll wait until lunchtime to eat more."

You can't stop! If you stop, Xiaohua, you're finished!

Yotsuya Miko quickly said.

"Xiaohua, don't stop eating! Low blood sugar may seem common, but it's very dangerous! If you're out of chocolate, what else can you eat? What about glucose?"

"There is glucose, the teacher left two bottles for me. I drank one bottle before, and now there is one bottle left."

Baihechuan Hua picked up the glucose next to her, stuck out her tongue in disgust, and the golden light on her body flickered faintly.

"But the taste of glucose is really strange."

At the same time, the bluish-black hand that was originally on her back was slowly climbing upwards, seemingly targeting Yurikawa Hana's slender neck.

"If it tastes strange, just drink it like medicine."

Yotsuya Miko was extremely anxious at this moment, but she dared not tell Xiaohua the truth.

Even if I told her, she wouldn't believe me!

She could only patiently persuade Yuri Kawana.

"Hypoglycemia can cause memory loss, slow reaction time, and dementia; in severe cases, it can lead to coma and even death. This is no joke! Xiaohua, do you want to come to school in a wheelchair in the future?"

"What? Is it that scary?"

Baihe Chuanhua was startled and quickly opened the glucose and drank it.

With the sugar replenishment, her life energy immediately surged.

The dead man's hand, which was about to touch Yuri Chuanhua's neck, was also suppressed by the golden light and stopped moving.

Chapter 418 I'll Form the Palm

When the taxi stopped at the school gate, Xia Zhi took Yotsuya Miko straight to the infirmary.

Xia Zhi didn't abandon Yotsuya Miko and rush over alone—maybe halfway there, before Yurikawa Hana was even in trouble, Yotsuya Miko would be the one to die.

Upon entering the infirmary, Xia Zhi immediately noticed the dead man's arm behind Bai Hechuanhua.

He took two steps forward and reached out to press his hand on the dark blue-green palm, which seemed to be stained with some dirt and had grayish nails, and tried to remove it.

The moment Xia Zhi grasped the back of his hand, he encountered resistance.

A strange, corrosive spiritual energy emanated from his palm, attempting to erode the bandages that Xia Zhi was controlling.

The snow-white bandage was thus stained with specks of gray, which even spread upwards from the fingers.

However, this speed is very slow, like an ant crawling, or rather, a lame ant.

Instead of being alarmed, I am delighted by the summer solstice.

He channeled the power within his body—whether it be called soul power or spiritual power—into the bandages, quickly erasing the gray streaks.

He even turned the tables and pinned the hand down, gently removing it from behind Yurikawa Hana's back.

Restricted by Xia Zhi's spiritual power, the ghostly hand immediately stopped moving.

At the same time, the bandage on Xia Zhi's left hand came undone.

Xia Zhi held the ghostly hand, which was clearly a left hand, in her right hand, placed it on her arm made of bandages, and bound it tightly with bandages, using it as a palm.

The next moment, Xia Zhi understood the purpose of the palm.

It can cause people or objects to rot.

Touching it will cause steel to rust, fruit to oxidize, cement walls to become mottled, and the human body to be corroded rapidly.

If he had arrived any later, Yurikawa Hana would have gone from Hana-chan to Hana-za.

"Although this ability isn't great, it's better than nothing. Next time I come across a better arm, I'll devour it."

Seeing Xia Zhi pull an arm out from behind Baihechuan Hua, Yotsuya Miko breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiaohua!"

She threw herself onto Yuri Kawaka, who had almost died, her eyes slightly red.

"You really scared me to death!"

Yuri Kawana hugged her friend, who was experiencing intense emotional turmoil, and laughed.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Miko, I made you worry."

The nurse, who was about to enter, saw this scene, smiled knowingly, and silently turned and left.

"It's great to be young!"

……

At noon, Miko Yotsuya ate lunch at school.

More than half a month later, she returned to school after taking sick leave, and received attention from Chie Morino and many other classmates.

Yotsuya Miko thanked them for their concern one by one.

Inside the cafeteria, Yurikawa Kaname happily squinted her eyes as she ate a large portion of teriyaki chicken rice.

"Mmm! This is so satisfying!"

As she ate, her life energy surged, quickly returning to the level it had been before the ghost hand attacked.

Yurikawa almost got into trouble today, prompting Yotsuya Miko to decide to confront him directly.

After all, she, like herself, was susceptible to attacks. Even if she could resist by eating, it was impossible to eat 24 hours a day.

Humans cannot do this.

After lunch, Yotsuya Miko led Yurikawa Hana to an empty classroom.

She turned around and said to Yurikawa Hana with a very serious expression.

"Xiaohua, do you believe in ghosts?"

"Hey! What are you going to say, Jianzi?! You know this is what I'm most afraid of!"

Just hearing the word "ghost" made Yurikawa Hana seem to put on a mask of pain.

She hugged her chest in fear, goosebumps appearing on her arms.

Yurikawa is not good at these kinds of topics.

But given the current situation, even though Yotsuya Miko knows that Yurikawa Hana isn't good at this, she has to force her to become good at it.

Miko Yotsuya grabbed Yurikawa Hana's shoulders and told her what she knew.

"Xiao Hua, you are born with the ability to release strong life energy, and ordinary ghosts dare not approach you."

"But these ghosts have become increasingly powerful lately. The reason you almost fainted from hunger today was because you were attacked by a ghost, and your life energy was being constantly depleted. If you don't keep eating to replenish it, the situation will be extremely dangerous!"

Hearing this, Yuri Chuanhua was no longer afraid.

She looked at Yotsuya Miko with concern and said somewhat nervously.
