In short, in this two-story detached building with a small courtyard, in addition to Lin Yi and his assistant Iino Miko, there are a total of 17 co-residents who once lived here but are now dead and only have left their incomplete spirits, commonly known as ghosts.

A warm little home that is truly overcrowded.

"Next, let's decorate it a little to make this place feel more like home."

Lin Yi muttered to himself and began to think about further reconstruction plans. At this time, the communication suddenly rang. Lin Yi answered it and found that it was a greeting communication from Tanjiro Kamado, his companion on the first mission.

After their previous collaboration, Lin Yi and Tanjiro became good friends. Although Lin Yi seemed unable to adapt well to the extraordinary power system called "breathing method" in Tanjiro Kamado's world, the two still often went to the training ground in the Savior Community to train together.

I heard that Tanjiro tried to set the mission interval to the shortest 10 days at the beginning, but later he discussed with Lin Yi and changed it to days like Lin Yi. One day before Lin Yi was about to go on the second rescue mission, he even called Lin Yi and told him that he had mastered a special technique of full concentration breathing and his strength had increased a lot compared to the past.

By the way, Tanjiro's system assistant is a ball of fire element. It is said that it can attach to his Nichirin Sword when he swings the sword, thereby cooperating with his breathing method to create an effect that is several times the original lethality and destructive power of the sword skills. Tanjiro was very happy about this for a long time.

Ah, now that I mention it, it seems that Suzuran's system assistant, the little fox, can also shoot white flames that slow down people's movements, just like Suzuran herself. Although it is not as strong as Tanjiro's fire element, it is indeed a good helper who can assist in battle.

Why are other people’s system assistants so practical, but mine is just a beautiful girl?

Well, it's not that I dislike Iino, and Iino's ability to manipulate electronic devices is also very much to Lin Yi's liking. He has never been able to adapt to modern technology equipment. He is the type who has to check Baidu to change the widescreen wallpaper of his mobile phone screen. This girl's system assistant makes up for his shortcomings in this regard. Ah, speaking of it, the system assistant does seem to have the function of making up for the shortcomings of the savior in terms of functionality, but the world where Tanjiro and Suzuran live is more dangerous and often fights, so their system assistants tend to assist in combat, and I live in a safe and stable world, so my system assistant is more of an assistant in daily life?

If I think about it this way, I feel like there might even be something as bad as a sex-themed system assistant.

"Well, Carl's friend has been added. It was approved immediately after the application was submitted. Is this the speed of artificial intelligence?"

"Wade's friend also passed. Hmm, this guy's profile picture is actually a photo with his wife? I always feel like he's the kind of person who's keen on showing off his real life."

"And this friend of Miss Shionji Yuuko, um, um... rejected..."

Miss Detective NEET, who was active under the name Alice, rejected Lin Yi's friend request straightforwardly, but she said that Lin Yi could add her office's business number so that he could contact her directly if he had any work needs.

It's a completely business-like attitude. And this rescuer system actually supports business accounts? Isn't this function a bit too déjà vu?

"Forget it, this is fine, then what's next... hm?"

Lin Yi stopped moving and turned around with the disabled girl sitting on the sofa to look towards the door.

Tuk Tuk——

A polite knock on the door followed the next moment.

Interlude 2-03: Visitors and New Changes

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

Judging from the location where the knocking sound came from, the other party should be an adult male of normal build, healthy and strong.

Um, is it a neighbor? Because you moved into this house, so you came to say hello?

Guessing the specific situation, Lin Yi stood up from the sofa. At this time, the one-eyed loli sitting next to him probably turned her head too hard and her head fell off her neck. So Lin Yi helped her pick up her head and put it back on her head, and then walked towards the door.

After opening the door, Lin Yi saw the man outside.

He is a 1.75 meter tall, brown-haired man who looks quite sturdy. Well, he actually has two hairs on his head. He is a strange person.

"Oh, hello. I'm Akio Furukawa, who lives on the next street. We'll be neighbors from now on. By the way, this guy is so tall and strong. Do you want to play baseball with me?"

The man waved his hand and greeted Lin Yi seriously. Then he showed a slightly shocked expression because of Lin Yi's height of more than 1.9 meters. He took out a baseball bat from his back and started to persuade him seriously.

"Well, I am indeed going to live here from now on. I'm sorry that I just moved in and haven't had time to say hello to the neighbors. I will come to visit later."

Lin Yi nodded quickly and then remembered some of the popular science things that Iino Miko had taught him before.

The place where I live now is a place similar to the traditional Japanese country. Here, people who have just moved into a place need to bring gifts and say hello to their neighbors according to tradition. My house has been renovated for almost half a month, and I have hardly shown up during the process. In a sense, this is not in line with the tradition of this place.

But even so, it felt a bit strange that the neighbor took the initiative to come to my house to say hello. No, that's not right, this person is not my neighbor at all. Lin Yi remembered that he had obtained a list of neighbors from Iino. This man named Kogawa Akio was a bakery owner. He lived across the street from him. The distance between the two sides was not particularly close. It took more than two minutes to walk to each other.

"Haha, greetings are optional. You don't need to worry about this kind of thing. By the way, is it okay for you to live here? There are basically no bad people around us. If you need any help, just come to us directly."

The middle-aged man named Furukawa Akio spoke while looking into the house. Although he controlled his emotions very well, Lin Yi could still more or less detect the worry in his words.

Is it because I live in a notorious haunted house?

Lin Yi realized that this man must have come to confirm the situation on his side.

Hmm, are the people in this place so kind? They were worried about a neighbor they didn't even know, and took the initiative to go to his house to check the situation, and even said that if they needed help, they could call him. It seemed that I had come to a very simple town.

"Thank you very much for your kindness, Mr. Koga."

After a brief exchange of greetings, the man named Furukawa Akio turned and left.

Judging from the worried expression on the other party's face when he was leaving, he probably didn't want the new guest, Lin Yi, to die miserably like the previous people who lived here.

However, although he was very grateful for the other party's kindness, Lin Yi did not need to worry about this problem at all. Not to mention that the mental erosion effect of these spirits had no effect on Lin Yi, under the arrangement of Iino Miko, he had managed to get some spirit repair devices from the Savior Community. It only took a few months of slow nurturing for these ghosts who were close to losing their self and only had a broken consciousness to gradually restore their consciousness as human beings. Then, after Lin Yi found a way to make up for their regrets and let them rest in peace, this small building would become completely safe and no longer harmful to anyone. Even if Lin Yi moved away at that time, there would be no problem.

Come to think of it, I always feel that this is a bit hard. When I was on a mission, I fought with the enemy to death. My leg was broken once during the second mission. Now I have to take care of this and that when I return to the daily world. Hmm, is this the so-called hard-working life?

"Well, there should be nothing to do today."

Lin Yi muttered to himself and then closed the door.

I had a good sleep and was lazy for almost the whole day.

A room on the first floor that was specially reserved and soundproofed has now been used by Lin Yi as a weapons room. Guns of various sizes and calibers are hung on the wall, and every time you open the door, you can feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.

Of course, in order to prevent these somewhat strange spirits from entering his armory and messing around, when he was renovating the room, Lin Yi specifically requested that some materials be added to the walls, floor and ceiling of the room, and used some spirit-exorcising materials to prevent them from opening the safety of a gun when he was not paying attention.

In addition, Lin Yi tried some things in the yard and finally confirmed some changes in his body.

My physical fitness is now stronger than before.

Originally, I had a physical fitness that could be said to have reached the limit of human beings. With a punch, I could reach the level of a world-class boxer. Whether it was a short-distance sprint or a long-distance run, I was comparable to an Olympic champion. In all aspects, I could be said to have reached the level of the end of human beings. But now, this limit seems to have been slightly broken.

"call--"

Slowly, he lifted a purchased van parked in the yard above his head.

As if he didn't feel it was too strenuous, Lin Yi slowed down a little, put one hand down, held the car with one hand, tried to throw it, and then slowly put it on the ground.

The power of one hand is more than one and a half tons. This is not something that normal humans can achieve. Even if we take extreme examples, it seems that this level of power does not exist. Well, why did this change happen to me? Is it because of the resonance of the energy in the energy station? In other words, by resonating with high-intensity energy, will my own strength also increase step by step?

Thinking of this, Lin Yi then prepared to try the resonance energy.

First of all, it can be confirmed that the energy that can resonate with him must be active energy, such as the energy field that continuously releases high-intensity currents in the energy power station before. Things that are in a stable state in daily life seem to have no way to resonate with Lin Yi. Even if there are some that will react to some extent, such as those summoning candles, Lin Yi can only achieve some vague perception.

Speculating from this point, Lin Yi thought that perhaps he could try something like fire.

So, Lin Yi first bought a lighter, then put the lighter to his hand and pressed the switch.

He then spent a moment tending to the burns on his hands.

After thinking carefully for a while, Lin Yi turned on the kitchen stove and tried to put his hand into the flame.

He then spent more time tending to the burns on his hands.

"Mr. Lin Yi, what are you doing? Why are you doing this kind of self-mutilation? Stop it now!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Iino Miko ran up and grabbed Lin Yi's arm, trying to stop his next experimental plan.

"It's okay, it's okay. I know what's going on. I just need to test it a little more."

Lin Yi shook his head and repeatedly told Iino that there was no problem. After much persuasion, the girl finally felt relieved.

Then ten minutes later, Lin Yi closed the kitchen doors and windows, pulled out the natural gas pipeline, waited for a few minutes to make sure that the combustible gas had filled the room, and then gently pressed the switch of the lighter.

Boom——

The raging flames of the explosion that day could be clearly seen by people in the surrounding streets.

"I see. This massive burst of instantaneous energy is required to achieve the basic condition for resonance?"

Sitting in the messy kitchen, Lin Yi, who was not only unharmed but also had the burns on his arms completely healed, murmured in a low voice at this moment.

At present, the approximate lower limit of resonance has been tested.

So, where is the upper limit of this ability?

"If I had stayed where I was after placing the summoning candles..."

Well, if we test it this way, I feel like it would be easy for dangerous situations to get out of control.

After a moment's hesitation, Lin Yi decided to give up some overly suicidal plans that had just popped up in his mind.

"At least, the general situation is now clear."

Lin Yi muttered to himself as he slowly stood up from the ruins. He moved his hands and feet slightly, letting the bones all over his body make crisp crackling sounds.

On the system's virtual screen, he was already able to see the changes in his basic data.

Rescuer's name: Lin Yi

Current overall rating: F

Basic data:

1. Neural activity: F

2. Body strength: F

3. Thinking level: F-

4. Spiritual person: D++

5.Energy reaction:?

"Although the resonance just now was short, it did improve my physical fitness a little bit. However, if it happens again, I may not be able to do it."

This improvement has certain limitations.

Lin Yi could feel that if he wanted to further improve his combat effectiveness, he would have to resonate with higher-level energy. Now, if he resonated with the energy flow of the level of natural gas explosion, it would no longer bring him any permanent gains.

I always feel that if I can't control the power I possess, something terrible might happen.

As Lin Yi was thinking this, he turned around and saw Iino Miko standing outside the kitchen door with her face completely puffed up.

"Mr. Lin Yi, is this what you call having a good idea?"

In the voice that was so cold that it seemed a little indifferent, Iino's face was filled with only anger and dissatisfaction.

Oops, things don't look good.

Lin Yi, who had just realized that he had blown up the kitchen of his new home, which he had just moved into for a day, became completely stiff.

Interlude 2-04: Ms. Iino is serious

In the end, Iino Miko called the previous renovation team again, and spent half an hour restoring the kitchen to its state before the explosion.

After Lin Yi was sent out to deal with the firefighters and neighbors, he returned home and was scolded by Iino for almost two or three hours before the matter was barely over.

"Mr. Lin Yi, if you have any ideas to test your abilities in the future, please don't destroy the house anymore. This is a house that we have spent a lot of time to hire people to repair with our funds in this world. It is the result of the hard work of the workers. You can't destroy it just because you want to test something. This is a manifestation of disrespect for the fruits of others' labor and a lack of love for your own home. If you really want to test something, there are many places in the Savior Community where you can test. You obviously have better choices, why do you have to take this approach? The next time you encounter a similar situation, I hope you can stop and think about whether it is appropriate. If you are not sure, you can also come to me to discuss it. As your personal system assistant, I am here to serve you. I am an intelligent assistant that exists to provide you with various needs. If you have any questions or needs, you can tell me first, and then I will find the most suitable solution, instead of messing around like you did just now, which made the neighbors panic and think that something is going to happen to the house, and your reputation among the people around you has also deteriorated. You have also lost so many furniture for no reason, and..."

"Stop, stop, stop. I was wrong. I was really wrong. Please let me go, Lord Iino!"

Faced with the endless stream of lecturing words from the petite girl in front of him, Lin Yi finally had no choice but to surrender.

She's clearly his system assistant or something, but why does he suddenly feel like he's back in school being a bad boy, and this girl has become his discipline committee member who always makes trouble for him?

But despite this, it's actually quite cute.

It's a small and short creature, with its teeth and claws bared and looking so angry, just like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

This slightly made Lin Yi want to touch her head again. Ah, what on earth is this impulse of wanting to touch her head whenever he sees something cute? Shouldn't I be a serious person? Why do I have this strange impulse? !

The dismembered female ghost passed by the corridor outside the door. This time she pieced herself together into a small boat. The little girl with a hole in her head, one missing eye and a bloody mess sat on the boat made by the female ghost. Using the dismembered female ghost's spine and one leg as oars, they rowed through the corridor. While rowing, they could hear the speakers in the living room dubbing for them, playing the music of "Let's row the oars together~?"

By the way, isn’t there something a little bit strange about this female ghost who dismembered corpses?

"These spirits seem to have become more active than yesterday."

Seeing that Iino still wanted to continue teaching her a lesson for a while, Lin Yi coughed lightly and began to change the subject.

"Oh, that's because they are recovering their human side. Although it takes a long time for their sanity and memory to return, at least their mental state will gradually approach that of their previous state. So, they will probably have all kinds of strange behaviors during this period. According to the information I have read, this is a very normal thing."

Iino was easily fooled by Lin Yi. After thinking for a while, he explained the situation to Lin Yi.

"Is that so? Well, you must be hungry, do you want to go out and eat something?"

So Lin Yi changed the subject further and gave suggestions to Iino in a serious tone.

"After all, you now have a real body and can try all kinds of delicious food."

"Come to think of it, I actually really want to show you my cooking skills, but unfortunately the kitchen has just been repaired and needs to be left to air dry for a while."
