From Earthbound Spirit to Tokyo Evil

Well, since this guy seems to be in good spirits, then...

#####

"Eh? Isn't this Lord Haizhai? How come you have time to favor a helpless little girl like me?" There was none of the ridicule, dissatisfaction and estrangement that Xia Chuan had worried about before, as if it had only been a few days since they last met.

"Um, well...something happened. Also, please don't use the word favor, okay?"

"I heard that those guys from the Styx Society were in collusion with Yiyou. They were the ones behind the incidents with Yanaka Ginza and Nishio Hisa, right?"

"Have you been there?" Xia Chuan was a little surprised.

"It's not easy to get Kamio Hitomi to go to those places, but there are actually many rumors about the shrine of Nishio Hisa, and she was finally curious. However, we could only take a look at the place from a distance. Since you came to me again, has the problem been solved?"

"I guess so." Her natural attitude made Xia Chuan relax, and he unknowingly regained the relaxed feeling he had before. "Yiyou should be dead, and I got some benefits from it."

"Don't tell me yet, let me guess!" Kamio Hitomi said immediately, and at the same time her eyes began to look him up and down, making him feel a little guilty.

"What you consider to be a benefit... should not be something you already have, but something you have always wanted but never got? The key to becoming a true god? The complete Shinto heritage? Yiyou's magic and knowledge? Or... incarnation as a human?"

What the hell, why are the women around me so cunning?

Chapter 151 Extraordinary Talent

"I guessed it right?!" Kamio Hitomi suddenly became excited. "No way? You really got a physical body? Congratulations!"

"What's there to congratulate about?" Xia Chuan said insincerely.

"After you have a physical body, you can do a lot of things. Otherwise, why do you think all monsters have to become humans in the end?" Kamio Hitomi suddenly laughed. "Why don't you find a chance to pursue Kamio Hitomi? With me giving her hints all the time, she will definitely like you. The feeling of dating a big star, hehe, I promise it will make you linger."

"Is it really okay for you to pimp yourself like this?" Xia Chuan was speechless. "Have you asked the person himself?"

"What do you mean by pimping?" This sentence made Kamio Hitomi roll her eyes at him. "Love between men and women is the most normal thing in this world. Besides, even though she has been in the industry for so long, because of my protection, she is still... Are you excited about this? Or... is there something wrong with your body?"

"Do you think I came to you just to talk about these boring things?" Xia Chuan felt overwhelmed and quickly changed the subject.

"Hey, I knew you wouldn't come to see me if you had nothing to do..." Kamio Hitomi looked bored. "What's the matter? Tell me."

Xia Chuan immediately briefly explained the situation of Scott's team, and then gave her a general idea of ​​his plan.

"So, you already have a girlfriend?" Kamio Hitomi narrowed his eyes and looked dangerous.

"Hey, are you focusing on the wrong thing? Besides, didn't I tell you that it's just a fake girlfriend, just fake!"

"Hehe, in this world, there are too many things that are fake and become real. If she has no feelings for you, why would she accept such a request?"

"That's because... Hey! Can you please stop dwelling on these issues? I'm here to talk to you about serious matters!"

"Isn't it just that you used my concert as a cover to kill and rob? Do you need to talk to me about such a small matter?" Kamio Hitomi said with disdain. "But you, you haven't come to chat with me for so long since you got the body. Do you have something to hide and dare not face me? Could it be that you are actually..."

Has she finally brought up this topic?

"I have something else to do..." Xia Chuan said immediately. "Then I'll see you on the day of the concert!"

Hitomi Kamio lying on the bed opened her eyes dazedly, but turned over and immediately fell asleep again wrapped in the quilt like a koala. Outside the window, the crow controlled by Natsukawa made a cawing sound, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky.

Time passed quickly, and soon, the winning team of the University of Tokyo crushed everyone in the first and second grades with an absolute advantage, and once again became the focus of the entire school. The only exception was Chiyu Moriyama, whose ranking even shamefully dropped by nearly ten places again. After all, her goal was not to become a problem solver, and Xia Chuan did not target her like he did to others. She really could not find enough fun in solving problems.

For her at this moment, those rumors questioning her suitability to be Hiroshi Kamiya's girlfriend no longer have any lethality. She has gotten used to it anyway.

In order to catch up with Xia Chuan and not be left too far behind by him, the most important thing for her at the moment is not to get a better ranking in the exam, but to complete the exercises that Xia Chuan taught her as soon as possible, which seemed to be the training of a shrine maiden.

"After the holiday, let's go to Kamio Hitomi's concert together!"

"Yeah." Because they had already communicated through magatama in advance, Moriyama Chiyu did not show any abnormality towards this proposal, but her attention was focused on her spirit pet.

It has been snoring since they got home from school. It didn't wake up even when Chiyu Moriyama picked it up from the sofa. Considering the alert nature of cats, this is simply too abnormal.

Huh? So fast?

Xia Chuan was startled.

Because it was trained too successfully by Chiyu Moriyama, Xiachuan didn't even notice its changes. Logically speaking, it should first have a certain ability to communicate with Chiyu Moriyama, and even be able to carry a certain amount of divine power to fight, and then it can evolve into a Shikigami.

As a result, Chisuke Moriyama's shrine maiden training has not yet been completed, but it has already completed the most important step?

Is it that Chisuke Moriyama is too talented, or is it that this cat is just gifted?

In Xiachuan's opinion, it was probably the result of Chiyu Moriyama investing a lot of time and energy in it.

After all, the energy required to train a cat known for its rebelliousness is definitely not comparable to the energy that other people put in just playing with a pet.

It seems that new content must be added to the training of those apprentice priestesses.

"Don't worry, it's not a bad thing." He immediately used the magatama to comfort Moriyama Chiyu. "Once it wakes up, it will immediately become a reliable partner."

Chiyu Moriyama nodded. She didn’t know how long it took other shrine maidens to obtain the Shikigami, so she had no idea what kind of achievement she had just achieved.

However, this also forced Xiachuan to start considering whether he should give Moriyama Chiyu some real help.

After all, she is of half-demon descent, so maybe she can be improved like a monster by relying on the pure spiritual energy she gets from him. If that's the case, then it's only natural that she will immediately grow into Xia Chuan's most powerful helper.

Want to do it?

This is almost a no-brainer.

It was not a big price for Natsukawa, and the relationship between him and Moriyama Chiyu was enough to make him believe that she would not betray him even if she gained stronger power.

So……

He looked at the phone in his hand, put it into a special container, and started making some sounds in it.

After successfully hacking into the host of Scott's team, he had conducted an experiment. In order to protect their privacy, when something inappropriate for children happened, the monitors would consciously stop monitoring temporarily and would not record the recording during this period. Of course, they would only stop for about half an hour. This made Xia Chuan want to complain. Who was he looking down on?

Although Moriyama Chiyu didn't know what specific noises he made, she could still guess the general meaning, because he always did this when he was about to go to sleep... Normally, she could resolve the embarrassment by training her pet, but today Moriyama happened to fall asleep successfully, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Qianyu, listen to me." Xia Chuan came closer with a mysterious look on his face, which made her heart beat even faster.

"Try and see if you can absorb this spiritual energy." At this time, Xia Chuan took out a small ball of light that emitted a fascinating white light in the dim light.

"Aura?"

"I'll explain it later. First, try to see if you can absorb it." Xia Chuan said.

Chapter 152 What is my past?

Xia Chuan had no idea how to do it specifically, but judging from the results of his previous forced infusion into the two useless raccoon cats, this should be a talent that all monsters have, and the pure spiritual energy he gave without any negative effects was the best tonic for monsters.

Chiyu Moriyama was a little uneasy, but she still took the ball of spiritual energy, looked at Xiachuan, and then, under his gaze, tried to follow the method he said and gently pushed it into her mouth.

A wonderful feeling, which was supposed to be something without shape and touch, but after entering the body, it became like cotton candy and was easily swallowed. Then, a warm feeling appeared in Chiyu Moriyama's abdomen, itchy, as if someone was tickling her heart, but it was not uncomfortable, but rather an indescribable comfort.

"Pay attention." Xia Chuan's voice suddenly came, which scared Moriyama Chiyu and she began to feel the changes in her body seriously.

The heat began to spread from the abdomen to the body, bringing the tingling feeling to the whole body, but this feeling ended after only a moment. A strong sense of loss and desire suddenly appeared, but fortunately it was quickly discovered by Chiyu Moriyama and quickly suppressed.

"How do you feel?" Xia Chuan asked with concern.

He once asked Yui Aoki to make the same attempt, but it had no effect in the end.

Although Yui could also swallow the spiritual energy, she was unable to absorb it at all and it quickly began to dissipate before eventually disappearing completely.

Chiyu Moriyama was a little shy. Could she really tell him about that feeling?

"There's nothing wrong..." She could only say this vaguely.

"Is that so?" Xia Chuan vaguely felt that the ball of spiritual energy had disappeared, so it should not have dissipated, so... he took out another ball of spiritual energy of the same size.

Take your time, there's nothing special to do anyway.

Again?

Chiyu Moriyama was both resistant to and looking forward to that feeling, so she was teased for more than half an hour, until Natsukawa gave her more spiritual energy than Kiyokawa Yuriko had given her, and then she stopped.

The sound inside the box also stopped.

"I'm so hungry! You take a rest, I'll go buy something to eat." Xia Chuan took out his cell phone and said loudly, then he said to her through the magatama: "After I leave, try to see if there are any changes in your abilities. Be careful, take your time, and don't make any loud noises."

Chiyu Moriyama nodded silently. She actually felt the difference in her body and was eager to try it out.

Xiachuan left quickly, and Moriyama Chiyu immediately took back the equipment that had been placed in the corner of the room because they had not been used for a long time.

The barbell became too easy, and she didn't feel tired even after sprinting at full speed on the treadmill for several minutes. The dummy used for practice also became vulnerable. With the previous experience, Moriyama Chiyu no longer dared to use her full strength, but she still easily knocked it out with one punch, along with the base.

This is... She simply couldn't believe what she saw.

From the time Xia Chuan gave her the first spiritual energy till now, it has only been an hour...

In order to leave enough time for Chiyu Moriyama, Natsukawa ran to an izakaya several kilometers away to buy food.

In fact, he really wanted to go and see what was happening at Tsuru Sou, and see what happened to Matsujugoro and those drinkers after Yui left, but in order to avoid drawing Derek's attention there, he had to give up the idea.

The car that served him and was also responsible for supervising him followed slowly behind him. Xia Chuan simply bought some more things and delivered them directly to them.

The two agents in the car felt a little embarrassed because in a sense, they had just listened to each other... Although nothing actually happened and they only heard the beginning, to them, the illusion created by Xia Chuan was reality.

"Eat something, the night is still long." Xia Chuan was not at all shy when facing these people he didn't care about. He didn't do this for any reason, he just did it for the convenience of the moment.

"Excuse me, thank you very much then."

"Um... do we want to take a ride back?" the agent who was driving asked a little embarrassedly.

"No need, it's just a good opportunity to walk back and relax." Xia Chuan said.

But when he opened the door, there was no movement in the room, and Chiyu Moriyama did not come to greet him as she did in the past.

"I'm back." Xia Chuan felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little strange. He changed his shoes and walked in, but saw that all the fitness equipment had been turned out and had not been put back. Moriyama Chiyu was sitting on the floor in front of the dummy, seemingly crying.

No way?

Even if there is no obvious progress or change, there is no need to cry about it, right?

Of course, such a situation could not be heard by outsiders, so Xia Chuan could only throw the phone back into the box as quickly as possible and start to create the illusion that a young couple was sweetly sharing food. He then put the food on the dining table and slowly walked to Chiyu Moriyama's side.

"Qian Yu?"

"I'm sorry." Moriyama Chiyu seemed to have just realized that he had returned. She hurriedly wiped away her tears with her hands and got up from the ground.

"What's wrong with you? No...is the effect not ideal?" At such a close distance, Xia Chuan could clearly feel that the demonic energy on her was much stronger than before. After all, the magatama used to hide her true power was made by him personally. At this distance, he could completely see the essence beyond its effect.

Then why is she crying?

Although there is such a saying as crying tears of joy, she clearly did not look like that.

"I'm sorry... I just..." Moriyama Chiyu tried her best to hide her vulnerable side in front of Natsukawa, but for some reason, when he saw her like this, the grievance in her heart could no longer be suppressed, and she couldn't stop crying.

"It's okay, sit down and talk slowly. What happened?" The two of them held hands when they were pretending to be a couple outside, so Xia Chuan pulled her directly to the sofa and tore off several tissues for her.

"I just... I've practiced so hard over the years, but in the end..." Moriyama Chiyu finally couldn't help crying again. Natsukawa hesitated for a moment, gently pulled her and lent her his shoulder.

Chiyu Moriyama hugged him subconsciously, crying and whispering.

Only then did Xia Chuan realize that he had given her power so easily, almost without any cost or effort, and in an instant he cruelly destroyed the beliefs that Moriyama Chiyu had held for many years, and destroyed the value of all the efforts, pain and persistence she had made along the way.

If the superior can easily give the inferior such power and opportunity, then what exactly does she mean by everything she has done in the past, what she longed for, what she believed in, those countless days of enduring loneliness, fatigue and pain, and those words used to comfort and motivate herself?

What exactly was her past life like?

A complete joke?

Chapter 153 Revealing one’s feelings

"That's not the case!" Xia Chuan said immediately.

No matter what others think, for him, although he may not be able to work that hard, those who work hard will always get his respect.

"Everyone has his or her own upper limit, even gods. Talent and bloodline determine part of the upper limit, which is innate and cannot be changed by anyone. It can only be accepted helplessly, but hard work determines the rest of the upper limit, and this part is something we can change and decide ourselves. With the same talent and bloodline, people who work hard will definitely have a higher upper limit. What's more, Qianyu, your past lifestyle has determined your personality, principles, and attitude towards life, and has determined what kind of person you are today. If it weren't for your past efforts, I wouldn't know you, understand you, and believe in you, and you would never be able to receive my gifts. Therefore, everything you have now is the result of your hard work in the past. How can you think that everything you did in the past is meaningless?"

Of course, the first half of the sentence was just nonsense, but the second half was his heartfelt feeling.

Chiyu Moriyama's crying finally and slowly stopped.

"I'm sorry." After calming down, she realized what she was doing, but she was reluctant to break free from Xia Chuan's arms, so she closed her eyes in self-abandonment, quietly feeling the warmth coming from Xia Chuan's body.

Xia Chuan felt a little embarrassed, but after trying it, he did not push Moriyama Chiyu away anymore, but continued to lend her his shoulder.

To his surprise, a few minutes later, Chiyu Moriyama fell asleep in his arms.
