The Japanese-fear sorcerer who started by taking in Tomie

"You can see me...you can see me!"

The giraffe spirit suddenly went berserk, its slender neck whipping wildly like a whip, flailing wildly in a 360-degree arc, its gaping mouth spewing out thick black mist.

Yotsuya Miko's body stiffened, her mind went blank.

Oh no, Mom. Goodbye, flowers. I'm going to be with Dad. Dad, I didn't mean to not see you. I'm sorry...

She closed her eyes in despair.

A burst of holy light suddenly exploded between Yotsuya Miko and the evil spirit, splashing outwards and hitting the evil spirit.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

The evil spirit let out a piercing roar, its massive body staggering backward several steps, its flesh sizzling as it was splashed with holy light.

A cool and calm voice appeared in Yotsuya Miko's ears, sounding like an angel.

It instantly soothed Yotsuya Miko's fear.

Are you alright?

Shin Hengyuan stood in front of Yotsuya Miko, his sharp eyes sweeping across the empty alley, but there was nothing there.

He frowned.

Sure enough, he couldn't see the evil spirit.

Shin Hengyuan couldn't see that Yotsuya Miko had seen those evil spirits; in fact, if those evil spirits hadn't suddenly appeared, he wouldn't have been able to detect them at all.

Even if the evil spirit were to erupt, he could only sense its vague aura. Xin Hengyuan only knew that it was probably in this area, in this alley, but he couldn't pinpoint its exact location.

If his perception attribute were higher, he might have been able to see the evil spirit.

Ugh, what a hassle.

Xin Hengyuan couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"I, I..." Yotsuya Miko's lips were still trembling. Her gaze went past Shin Hengyuan and looked at the giraffe evil spirit whose limbs were twitching and who kept shouting "pain".

The evil spirit seemed to have adapted to the damage from the holy light. The scene, resembling a giraffe, folded up three or four times, its empty eyes locking onto the two of them.

"I can see you! I can eat you... I'm going to eat you all!" The evil spirit roared as it charged forward, its twisted form drawing ever closer in Yotsuya Miko's eyes.

"It's here, it's here!"

Miko Yotsuya nervously reminded him loudly.

"Hey, which direction is the evil spirit coming from?" Xin Hengyuan asked without turning his head, his voice leaving no room for doubt.

"Right in front of you!!!"

Yotsuya Miko shouted loudly.

The moment the words fell, Xin Hengyuan spread his five fingers, and an invisible mage's hand reached out, grabbing the giraffe evil spirit by the neck.

The giraffe spirit was only slightly puzzled, paused for a moment, and then continued to roar and charge forward.

"Found you!"

A wicked smile curled at the corner of Xin Hengyuan's mouth.

I can't see or even touch evil spirits, but I'm really thinking that evil spirits are essentially a kind of ghost, and the "Hand of the Mage" is also a ghost!

It makes perfect sense that ghosts can encounter each other!

If I can't sense evil spirits, how could I not sense my own magic?

[Instantaneous Spell] • [Tracer Bullet]!

Almost at the same instant, holy light exploded in Xin Hengyuan's palm.

Yotsuya Miko only saw a golden light rush away, followed by a muffled explosion.

The [Tracer Bullet] is almost a point-blank attack, leaving the Giraffe Wraith with no chance to dodge.

This time, it wasn't just a little splash damage; the giraffe-like evil spirit was completely hit by the [Tracer Bullet] at point-blank range, and half of the evil spirit's body exploded instantly.

The enormous evil spirit crashed to the ground, twitched a few times, and then stopped moving, seemingly dead.

"Thank you, thank you so much." Yotsuya Miko breathed a sigh of relief and was about to bow to express her gratitude when Shingen stopped her.

"Don't thank me yet, it's not over yet."

What Xin Hengyuan didn't expect was that this evil spirit actually possessed considerable intelligence and even knew how to play dead.

Unfortunately, if the system notification of defeat or kill hadn't popped up in his mind, Xin Hengyuan might have actually been fooled.

"If you like playing dead, then go ahead and die. I was actually thinking of letting you go."

Holy light shone again in Xin Hengyuan's palm, and the corners of his mouth turned up.

That being said, Xinhengyuan had no intention of letting this opportunity slip by. After reaching level three, the experience required to level up had soared to 2700. There was no reason for them to let go of such a free experience pack.

【tracer】!

The dazzling holy light struck the evil spirit once more; this time, feigning death turned into real death.

The evil spirit's body convulsed violently in the light, its charred flesh peeling away layer by layer. Before it could even scream, it disintegrated from the inside out into a cloud of black smoke.

[Congratulations on defeating the evil spirit! Experience +100]

Hearing the satisfying sound of the experience points being credited to his account, Xinhengyuan nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, all done."

"Thank you so much... really."

Yotsuya Miko, who had been hiding in the back and barely daring to breathe, only ran up to Shin Hengyuan after confirming that the evil spirit had completely turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Yotsuya Miko's legs were still trembling, but she tried her best to stand up straight and bowed a standard ninety-degree angle to Shin Hengyuan.

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Xin Hengyuan waved his hand, then asked a question he already knew the answer to.

"You have the ability to see ghosts? You can see evil spirits?"

"Yes! Sir, do you know how to solve this? I don't want to see those evil spirits anymore, I don't want to..."

Like a drowning person grasping at a last straw, Yotsuya Miko gripped Shingen's arm tightly with both hands and asked anxiously.

Since gaining these yin-yang eyes, Yotsuya Miko has been unable to eat or sleep properly. Every day she is either frightened by ghosts or on the road by ghosts, and she even shouts "No, no" in her dreams every night.

She was terrified, but she could only endure it, trying to prevent the evil spirits and monsters from discovering that she could see them. Otherwise, if they found out, things would turn out like they did today…

If it weren't for Xin Hengyuan's intervention, she would probably have already said goodbye to the mortal world.

"Emm..." Actually, Shin Heng Yuan didn't know how to solve it either. He was just a dragon crossing the river using magic, so how would he know what the local Yin-Yang Eyes were all about?

But looking into Miko Yotsuya's bright yellow eyes, he actually came up with a solution.

"I do know a way, but I don't know if you'd be willing to try."

"Yes, yes, I'm willing to do anything!"

Yotsuya Miko was unusually agitated, her voice trembling, and she gripped Shinji Gen's hand even tighter, as if afraid he would change his mind and run away at any moment.

Xin Hengyuan glanced down at her and secretly clicked his tongue in disapproval.

It seems that he's been tormented quite a bit by these eyes. Come to think of it, it's not only useless for an ordinary high school student to suddenly acquire such an ability, but it also adds to their troubles.

"Actually, the simplest way is to gouge out your eyes. You can see evil spirits because you have these eyes. Without your eyes, you naturally won't be able to see them, and you won't have to live in fear anymore."

Xinhengyuan said with a smile.

Yotsuya Miko's face turned pale instantly. Her lips trembled for a long time before she managed to force a smile that looked more like a grimace. "Sir, you...you're joking, aren't you?"

Seeing that Yotsuya Miko was almost in tears, Shin Gen chose not to tease her.

"Of course it's fake. I was just kidding. To be honest, I don't know how to solve it. I know two people who might know how to solve it."

According to D&D logic, Yotsuya Miko's perception attribute must be as high as 20, which is the highest level for an ordinary person.

"That's wonderful, sir, thank you so much!" Yotsuya Miko bowed again to Shin Gengen in gratitude.
