"However, sometimes, your personality is too sensitive, and too...like a little hedgehog with all its quills raised."

Sayuri gently rested her chin on Eriri's shoulder and slowly began to speak in a gentle tone, as if telling a story.

“I know that A-Chuan has many hardships. I also know that every girl living in this house has experienced a painful past that we cannot imagine. It was A-Chuan who saved them from that boundless hell.”

“He has given so much for us. So, more than anyone else, I hope that this hard-won home, which he built with his own hands, can always be filled with laughter, instead of pointless arguments and hurt.”

Today, three new members joined our family.

Sayuri paused, feeling the girl in her arms stiffen slightly upon hearing those words, and continued, in a voice so gentle it could melt any ice, she spoke.

“I can sense that they are all very good and kind girls. But Eriri, I know you. I know that you must feel uneasy, jealous, and even subconsciously want to use your sharp edges to test and attack them.”

"So, I hope you can be mentally prepared. I hope you can try to understand and be tolerant. If there is anything you really can't accept, I hope you can come to me as soon as possible, or go directly to A-Chuan and communicate honestly."

"No, let's not try to solve problems in a way that will hurt each other. Okay?"

Her words, like a warm, clear spring, flowed slowly into Eriri's sensitive heart, which was always filled with wariness and unease.

Eriri didn't say anything.

She simply leaned her body deeper into that warm, maternal, and inclusive embrace, and her usually proud blue eyes uncontrollably became slightly moist at this moment.

……

Late at night, everything is silent.

While everyone else was fast asleep, Gu Chuan quietly left the apartment with three other figures.

It is Rin Tohsaka, Sakura Matou, and, the loyal King of Knights—Sab.

He took them to a desolate shrine on the outskirts of the city, a place that had long been abandoned and where a tragedy was said to have occurred decades ago.

The place was eerily gloomy, filled with an ominous atmosphere.

"Gu Chuan, you...you brought us to a place like this, what exactly do you want to do?"

Rin followed closely behind Gu Chuan, looking at the dilapidated torii gates that looked particularly menacing under the moonlight, and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Let's do an experiment."

A mysterious smile played on Gu Chuan's face. His golden eyes gleamed with an unusual light in the darkness, as if they could see through to another side of this world.

He led the three to the deepest part of the shrine, to a huge, long-dead ancient tree.

"——〆倭蹴q 硫诌壹陕吧q〤u〧??n You guys, can you see anything?"

he asked softly.

Rin's brow furrowed slightly; her keen senses, typical of a top-tier magician, detected something amiss. The space before her seemed to be distorted in one area! A chilling, negative energy, filled with resentment, hatred, and bitterness, was coiled around the trunk of that withered tree!

“…What a foul aura,” Sab’s expression turned serious. Her A-level “intuition” allowed her to clearly detect the ominous presence. “Is it something like an undead?”

However, it was Sakura who reacted the most.

Her beautiful purple eyes, at this moment, seemed to see through the surface of matter, directly gazing into the essence of energy. In her eyes, clinging to the withered tree was a repulsive black aggregate composed of countless agonizing, wailing faces, filled with negative emotions.

“…So…disgusting…” Sakura’s face turned slightly pale, and her body involuntarily shrank behind Gu Chuan.

"It seems you can all see it."

Gu Chuan nodded in satisfaction.

He activated vector manipulation, forcibly detaching the "evil spirit"—formed from the resentment of the dead and completely invisible to ordinary people—from the withered tree it was attached to, making it appear in the air as a blurry, distorted, and painful humanoid outline!

"—Now, try attacking it."

He issued the order.

Rin was the first to react! Without the slightest hesitation, several gems made of pure magic, shimmering with a deadly light, instantly appeared between her fingers!

"—Gandr (Yin Qi Bullet)!"

Several jet-black, arrow-like magical projectiles, accompanied by sharp whistles, accurately struck the evil spirit that was roaring silently!

"Aaaaaaaaahh ...

A piercing, inhuman scream exploded in everyone's minds!

The evil spirit's body twisted and struggled violently under the bombardment of the magic bullets, as if it had suffered tremendous damage!

"It works!" A hint of surprise flashed in Rin's eyes.

Next up is Sakura.

Looking at that hideous monster made of pure negative emotions, a strange instinct, stemming from the attribute of "imaginary numbers," welled up in her body, which was trembling slightly with fear. Subconsciously, she reached out her fair little hand.

A thin, almost invisible black shadow, seemingly capable of swallowing light, shot out from her fingertips like a venomous snake and instantly coiled around the evil spirit!

"Zi-Zi-"

The black shadow, as if possessing a life of its own, began to frantically devour and absorb the evil spirit's body, which was composed of resentment! The evil spirit let out a wail several times more miserable than before, and its body became thin and dim at a visible speed!

Finally, there's Sab.

This battle-hardened knight-king didn't even bother to draw his sword. 0.2

She simply waved the hand that held the invisible holy sword forward gently.

"—Wind King's Hammer (StrkeAr)."

An invisible shockwave, composed of high-density wind pressure and filled with a sacred aura, instantly ripped through the night sky, striking the weakened evil spirit with overwhelming force!

There was no explosion, nor any roar.

Under the pure, sacred magic of the holy sword, the evil spirit, all its resentment and filth, was completely purified and evaporated. It didn't even have time to utter a final scream before vanishing completely, like snow exposed to the sun.

Looking at the clean, efficient, and almost perfect "exorcism" process before him, Gu Chuan's face revealed a satisfied smile, as if he had everything under control.

The experiment was a success.

Evil spirits, these pure spiritual energy entities, can be seen not only by those with special powers.

Moreover, they can also cause actual and effective harm!

This discovery paved the final and most crucial step in his alluring "Eating Spirits" plan.

A completely new world, brimming with infinite possibilities, seemed to be slowly unfolding before him.

The ripples of the 151 rule and the fluttering heart

When the evil spirit was completely purified by the holy sword's radiance, the shrine's courtyard returned to a deathly silence. However, the three girls present felt a turbulent storm raging within them, a storm far more intense than the battle itself.

They could clearly feel that just moments ago, the instant their power touched and annihilated the "evil spirit," a certain constraint was broken. A faint yet incredibly clear "echo" from the very laws of the world, following the energy connection between them and the evil spirit, fed back into the depths of their souls, causing a series of wondrous, chain-like changes.

"My... magic..."

Sakura opened her palm in disbelief. Strands of dark, seemingly alive shadows, like docile pets, danced and leaped merrily at her fingertips.

She could feel that her magic, derived from the "imaginary number" attribute, had undergone a qualitative transformation after absorbing the negative energy of the evil spirit! It was no longer a simple, invisible energy, but had become more solid and concrete! Now, she could even mold these shadows into any shape she desired, whether it was a sharp blade or a sturdy shield!

This is a completely new and bizarre form of existence that exists somewhere between "energy" and "matter"!

Meanwhile, Sab closed her eyes, carefully sensing the changes within herself. Her spirit foundation seemed to have become more stable, and the magical pathway between her and her Master—Gu Chuan—had become wider and more resilient. Although no new abilities had emerged, she was certain that every sword strike she delivered now was faster and stronger than before! This was a comprehensive, steady improvement in her fundamental attributes.

However, the one who changed the most was Rin Tohsaka.

She stood there, stunned, her ruby-like eyes staring blankly at her own hands.

Just now, the instant her "Yin Qi Bullet" struck the evil spirit, she felt an unprecedented and wondrous resonance between herself and the "space" around her.

It was as if this space 22 was no longer an ethereal "distance," but rather a soft "fabric" that she could touch, perceive, and even... twist.

A bold idea, uncontrollably, popped into her mind.

Instinctively, she extended her right hand and placed a spare ruby ​​in her palm. Then, she turned her gaze to her left hand.

"--come over."

In her mind, she issued a simple, almost laughable, instruction.

The next second, something happened that made even her scalp tingle!

The red gem in the palm of her right hand actually, as if it had pierced through an invisible wall, vanished into thin air amidst a faint ripple in space!

Immediately afterwards, she felt a cool, familiar touch in the palm of her left hand!

The ruby ​​was now prominently displayed on her left hand!

"!!!!!!"

Rin was so shocked by this scene that it completely defied the laws of physics that she couldn't even speak!

“Spatial transfer…?” Gu Chuan looked at Lin’s shocked expression, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes. “No, should I say it’s the most basic application of the Second Law?”

He knew that within Rin flowed the Tohsaka family's centuries-old talent for "Jewel Magic" and "Spatial Interference." And just now, that "echo" from the laws of the world acted as a catalyst, prematurely awakening this dormant, top-tier talent within her!

Rin, though far from reaching the level of a "magician," already possesses the terrifying potential to achieve short-distance teleportation and create small spatial passages!

If this ability is used to its fullest potential...

Gu Chuan could even imagine that Lin could open a spatial interface directly in the heart of the enemy and then precisely send in a poisoned dagger, or an exploding gem!

This attack method, which is so difficult to defend against and virtually unsolvable, is just as threatening as his "vector manipulation"!

"Rin's abilities have enormous potential."

Gu Chuan silently gave his assessment in his mind. But he didn't let Lin immediately test the limits of this ability. Any powerful force requires sufficient time to adapt to and master. Being impatient for quick results will only lead to a backlash from the power.

"Alright, the experiment is over. Tonight's findings are sufficient."

He clapped his hands and smiled at the three girls who were still in shock.

"We go home."

……

After sending the three girls, each with their own worries, back to their apartment, Gu Chuan did not immediately go back to rest.

Alone, like a ghost, he wandered through the city's silent night.

His L6 vector control had already given him a perception capability comparable to that of a top-tier radar, covering an extremely wide area. In his perception, dozens of large and small "black dots" composed of negative energy were hidden in this seemingly peaceful city.

These are all pathetic "monsters" born from human resentment and despair, just like the evil spirit from before.

In the past, he might have turned a blind eye to this.

But now, in his eyes, these "monsters" have become walking, insignificant, but better than nothing "points packs".

"—Bingeating."

He arrived at the rooftop of an abandoned hospital, a place where suicides were said to be frequent. He didn't even bother to let the evil spirit that lingered there, formed from the resentment of countless sick and dead, take shape.

He simply reached out and activated his new S-rank ability towards the dense mass of black energy, which was filled with an aura of pain and despair.

Silently.

That massive mass of resentment, enough to drive any ordinary person mad in an instant, was like an ice cube thrown into the sun, instantly "erased," swallowed, and purified.

A pure, golden primal energy returned to his body.

[Ding! You have gained 1800 Doomsday Points.]

"...1800?"

Gu Chuan looked at the number and his brows furrowed slightly.

This evil spirit's energy intensity is almost ten times that of the one at the shrine just now, but the points extracted from it are pitifully small.

It seems that the "quality" of this energy, composed of purely negative emotions, is extremely low. Naturally, the efficiency of its purification is also not very high.

Over the next few hours, he practically traversed the entire city, devouring every evil spirit and demon, large and small, that he sensed, treating them all as "snacks."

Finally, as the eastern sky began to lighten with the first hint of dawn, he dragged his weary body back to his apartment.

He glanced at his points panel.

[Doomsday Points: 132,800]

After devouring dozens of evil spirits that consumed the entire city, he only managed to gain a paltry 111,000 points in total.

"...It seems that the path of Food Spirit can only be regarded as an occasional treat."

Gu Chuan sighed helplessly.
