There should not be a major war anytime soon, but there is a possibility that the situation will continue.
"Currently, due to the appearance of the Hyakki Yakichi and the awakened ones, people with psychic abilities come here from all over the place, and the appearance of the spirit world will definitely greatly increase this trend..."
"When psychic users gather, the situation may become chaotic, or even misfire?"
"That's right."
Seiji was silent for a while.
"But if you think about it on the bright side, if there are more psychics, the number of manpower to deal with demons and ghosts will increase, right?" he said.
"… Yes."
"Talk about the Night Walk of the Hundred Ghosts and the phenomenon of awakening, have you found anything out of the investigation?"
"I still don't know how they came here." Xia Ye replied, "The monsters seem to appear out of nowhere, and so do the awakened... The only definite information I know is that the awakened have the experience of entering the realm of suspected souls. "
"Suspected soul domain?"
"Well, I'm not sure if it's true. It's not impossible to enter the soul realm by itself while asleep, but the probability of it happening is very low... It used to be like this."
Probably not anymore. Miss President's words contained this meaning.
Seiji's eyes flickered slightly.
He wanted to say something more to Xia Ye, but in the end he didn't.
…
After receiving the contact, Seiji went to Amami Maszo's residence, where he met Hoshisu.
After exchanging greetings, get straight to the point.
Xingxiu took out a bright red leaf and put it in the palm of her left hand.
With his spiritual vision, Seiji saw the leaves glowing red, and suddenly transformed into a red bird that looked like a dove, with a faint red mist emitting from its body.
Hoshihide raised his hand, and the red bird flew up, circled and flew a few times under the ceiling, and then landed towards Seiji.
Seiji stretched out his hand to catch it, without feeling the touch or weight.
"Is this... under your control?" He observed the bird.
"Yes, it feels a bit like manipulating a character in a game, but with ideas instead of handles." Xingxiu explained.
"Oh..." Seiji reached out and tried to stroke it, but couldn't touch anything, "Is it just a phantom?"
"no."
Red Bird lowered his head to rub Seiji's arm, which made him feel the cold touch.
"It only touches people when I want it to touch people."
"That's it, it's amazing."
Xingxiu let the red bird fly back to her palm, and after another flash of red light, the bird turned back into a bright red leaf.
"It can also change back to its original shape... what kind of leaf is that?"
"Ordinary flowers and leaves are just stained with my blood." Xingxiu raised her hand to signal.
Seiji noticed that there was a Band-Aid on his left index finger.
"You have to use your own blood to display your abilities!?"
"Yes, first I will use my own blood to dye the red leaves, and then use the red leaves to exert my ability." Xingxiu smiled, "This kind of power seems a bit evil."
Seiji: "..."
"Although it's quite common in anime, the ability to use your own blood doesn't feel good after all." He touched his chin.
"Senior hate this ability?"
"It's not disgusting, it's just that it feels bad, because it will be at the cost of self-harm."
"I think it's acceptable to bleed a little every day."
"Are you going to use it every day!?"
"Make a good red leaf, and use it when it's time to use it."
"Oh, that is to say, as a reserve... By the way, do the manufactured red leaves have an expiry date?"
"No. I feel so."
"That's the way to go... but hurting yourself every day, okay?"
"I feel very lucky to have awakened my spiritual ability, and I don't want to be picky about this ability." Xingxiu smiled, "It's just a little bit of blood every day, it's actually nothing. Don't worry, senior."
Looking at the beautiful boy's smile, Seiji was still a little worried.
"Xingxiu, what did you experience in your dream... or to be more precise, in the soul realm?" He asked.
Xingxiu stared at the other person's face, his eyes flickered slightly.
"I just found a strange person and said a few words to him."
"weirdo?"
"It looks a bit like you, senior. At first I thought it was senior, but I soon realized it wasn't."
"Somewhat like me?" Seiji was surprised.
If what Xingxiu saw was the incarnation of her ancestors like Ziji was back then, then it means... the Tianhai family and the Chuntian family belonged to the same ancestor!
"What did you say? Did he say his name or identity?"
"I don't remember clearly." Xingxiu shook her head.
"Well?"
"After waking up, I felt that the memory was very vague... I don't remember what I said to him or how long I talked to him. I only remember talking."
"Is that so..."
A moment of silence.
"Senior, what are you doing now?" Xingxiu asked abruptly.
"Eh?" Seiji blinked, "What are you asking?"
"I'm asking if senior is fighting... or something." Xingxiu looked directly into the other person's eyes and said seriously, "Although I just awakened my ability, I may be overwhelmed, but I want to help and do it for you, senior." What!"
Seiji was stunned.
Facing the other party's serious expression, he was stunned for a few seconds and then smiled.
"What are you talking about, do you think this is a cartoon of superhuman combat? Could it be that I am a decent protagonist who fights against evil forces?"
"Senior..."
"Don't think too much about me, I'm neither a protagonist nor a hero, and I don't have the mission of gathering friends to fight against evil." Seiji laughed, "Although there are indeed targets to defeat, that's not the same as fighting against evil. It's just my personal business."
Xingxiu blinked.
"Senior, you misunderstood." He said sincerely, "I don't want to help you because I think senior is the protagonist or a hero, but I want to help you because of you, senior."
"Um?"
"Although I do think that Senior is a hero, the reason I want to help Senior is...I want to stand with you, Senior!"
By your side, working for you, fighting for you.
Whether it is fighting against evil or personal affairs, I want to be your strength! rather than being taken care of unilaterally.
"Star show..."
"Senior, we are friends, as friends we should help each other, shouldn't we?"
"... That's true." Seiji received the other party's thoughts, "I was wrong, sorry."
"If I need help in the future, I will call you, and I will trouble you then." He said frankly.
"I'm very happy!" Xingxiu felt very happy to be recognized.
Yesterday's imagination may really turn into reality.
…
After talking with Xingxiu, I talked with Zhengzang again.
"What do Yuanye-kun think of Xingxiu's ability to awaken?" the old man asked.
Seiji thought about it.
"Leaving aside the combat effectiveness, what I care most about is that it needs Xingxiu's own blood to be able to display it."
"The old man is the same." Zhengzang sighed, "This kind of ability makes the old man have a bad premonition."
"Does Mr. Tianhai know anything?"
"I don't know... Maybe it's just that the old man is too worried about his grandson. But the old man can't help but wonder, will this sudden spiritual ability remain like this forever? Or will it continue to develop? Will it... have an impact on Xingxiu? Does it affect your mind?"
Not only the power outage but also the network disconnection is really enough... I will make up after the reward...
