My name is Levi, and I work in anime.

"Come here, come to me, let me take a good look at you~"

Seemingly sensing Li Wei's wariness, the other party said half-jokingly, "Do you think I'd eat you?"

These words seemed to dispel the boy's hesitation. He no longer stood still, but slowly, step by step, moved closer and closer to the soft, large bed.

Finally, when Li Wei reached the bedside, he could finally see the face of the beauty on the bed.

Unfamiliar, yet familiar.

He called her a stranger because he was certain he had never seen her before; but he also called her familiar because he could see the shadow of every girl he knew in her.

Ryougi, Saeko, Scáthach-sensei, Arcueid, Hiratsuka-nee, Kazusa… Though they resemble each other, she is none of them. She possesses the most attractive features of every girl: Rin Tohsaka's beautiful legs, Ryougi's cool and elegant temperament, Scáthach-sensei's toned and fit physique, Arcueid's otherworldly charm, and Hiratsuka-nee's unimaginable friendliness…

"Come on, Avi, let's do something fun together."

The woman on the large bed chuckled softly: "Don't think about anything here, don't let anything bother you. There are no worries, no responsibilities, no battlegrounds, and no worldly morals here. Come on, do whatever you want."

"No matter what you want to do, I will accompany you and let you experience unparalleled joy. From now on, let's sink into oblivion together."

Looking at her fair skin, alluring eyes, and seductive expression, Li Wei smiled.

“I’ve always had a good temper and don’t like to swear,” he said. “But today is an exception.”

"If you can, please don't make such filthy and vulgar gestures in the image of someone I love. I know you're a succubus, but these seductive poses only make me want to kill you. So for your own safety, shut up right now, you bitch."

The gentle smile on her face froze.

Normally, she should be angry. But her biological instincts told her that it was best not to do anything, or she would suffer a terrible fate.

The boy, who seemed ordinary just a bit handsome, suddenly unleashed astonishing magical power, as if he possessed some kind of advanced demon summoning magic.

“No wonder there have been so many heinous crimes in Tokyo lately. Even a succubus has infiltrated here. It seems something has happened that I don’t know about.” Li Wei sized up the other party and delivered his verdict: “I don’t intend to ask who your master is. I’m sure his name is already etched into your soul. Once you say it, your soul will be scattered.”

These methods are also recorded in "The Wisdom of Solomon," and young people have some understanding of things like commanding demons.

"Therefore, I don't intend to kill you."

"Really...really?" The succubus's face lit up with surprise.

“Of course, I never lie. After all, even if it's conjured up, I wouldn't easily harm this face.” Li Wei nodded, then pointed behind the succubus: “But they definitely are.”

The next second, the succubus followed the boy's hand and was shocked to find four figures, some tall and some petite, standing beside her bed.

They are, respectively, the queen in purple tight-fitting leather armor, the Nordic ice queen who looks almost exactly like the previous one, the kimono-clad girl with a bob haircut and a hostile expression, and...

—A samurai clad in heavy armor, wielding a long sword, with the faint sound of thunder emanating from behind him.

The succubus's smile froze on her face.

……

"Has this situation remained unnoticed all along?"

After reporting his encounter with the succubus the previous night to the exorcism organization, Li Wei received this conclusion from Isayama Yomi.

“That’s right, I’ve already checked the information. Currently, no organization in the Tokyo underworld fits the bill, whether it’s a magician, a demon, or anything else.” The woman with long, straight black hair in a sailor uniform replied, “Either some guy from out of town has made a move, or there’s something else lurking deeper inside.”

"I understand. The succubus's body will be delivered to you later. I'll let you know if there's any new information," the boy said, then hung up the phone.

Unbeknownst to him, on the other end of the phone, a sailor-suited girl named Isayama Yomi looked resentful as she listened to the call ending tone.

What's going on here? I should have just stayed in high school and become a JK (high school girl). Now it's hard to even see someone. If this continues, I'll become a corporate slave prematurely.

"That guy Liangyi made his move really early... but... I have my strengths too."

The exorcist JK lowered her head, looking at her beautiful legs beneath her sailor uniform.

"Isn't it beautiful? Why didn't that guy take a closer look?"

With that thought in mind, she changed her posture, raising her smooth legs and then lowering them, presenting a unique allure in the warm sunlight.

"Ah, ah..."

Isayama Yomi was slightly disappointed: "Why isn't that guy a leg fetishist?"

Chapter 34 The so-called false rumors circulating in the martial arts world—those who believe them will be doomed for life.

On the other side, Li Wei, who had just hung up the phone, immediately received a message notification.

"Do you have time at noon? I'd like to ask you out for a bit."

The source of the information is referred to as "Big Yukinoshita".

“I really don’t have anything to do,” the boy replied. “Send me your address; you can decide the location.”

There's only the corpse of a succubus now, so there's no way to start researching it.

"It's near your house, I think there's a really popular coffee shop there."

Li Wei didn't have to wait long. After receiving an affirmative answer, Yang Nai sent this reply along with a location information map, clearly indicating that she had already made preparations.

"No problem." And so, the agreement was made.

It's easy to guess why Yang Nai sought out himself; it was simply because of what happened at the party last night.

As long as you have the right attitude and take it seriously, that's fine.

So, at noon, in a café called "Rabbit House" near Li Wei's home, the boy saw the girl he danced with the night before once again.

Compared to her usual playful and opportunistic nature, Haruno was noticeably more well-behaved today.

Not only was her attitude noticeably formal, but her posture was also impeccable, the kind of ladylike demeanor that no one could fault. Upon seeing Li Wei approach, she instinctively stood up.

It seems that yesterday's events still have a significant impact on her, to the point that she hasn't recovered yet.

"So, is there something you need, Haruno-neechan?"

"..."

Yukino looked at the boy in front of her with a complicated expression.

The orphan in front of him, dressed casually and whom he had treated like a little brother, gradually merged with the star he had been the center of attention yesterday.

Yesterday, after listening to Yukino's words, her mother remained silent for a long time. In the end, she decided to let her come first and told her to notify her immediately if there were any problems, and to find someone else if necessary.

As for how the replacement would be carried out and what would happen afterward, Yang Nai neither asked nor dared to ask.

"How about we order some drinks first?" The boy didn't press further.

"Hot chocolate will do."

"Two hot chocolates, please." Li Wei skillfully ordered the drinks and some snacks. Soon, a waiter wearing a flower-shaped hair accessory came to serve him.

Although the waitresses at this shop are all teenage girls, both the coffee and pastries are top-notch. Li Wei himself has been there a few times and had a very good impression of it. The old owner passed away a couple of years ago, and he even attended the funeral.

Well, it would have been even better if the waiter hadn't muttered to the shop owner—who was wearing a rabbit on her head and was also the old shop owner's granddaughter—"Li Wei always comes with a different girl with him!" as she left.

“That… Li Wei…”

"Just use your usual form of address."

"Okay, Avi!"

As if granted some kind of pardon, the girl named Yukinoshita immediately reverted to her old ways, transforming back into the familiar figure Li Wei knew.

This relieved him.

"About yesterday..."

“Just as you thought.” Li Wei nodded in agreement.

"In other words, on the surface you're just an ordinary high school boy, maybe a little better at medicine and a successful social butterfly, but your true identity is actually an advisor to the government's exorcism team, the adopted grandson-in-law of the Hiratsuka family, a powerful figure who unites Japan, the overlord of Tokyo, and the king of the underworld. A sinful hunter known as the 'Imagine Breaker,' who eats 20 fallen magicians, 40 man-eating monsters, 60 ungrateful espers, and 80 fantasy creatures in one meal, and afterwards seeks out 100 shrine maidens to open his silver handkerchief!?"

"Where did you hear all this? It's utter slander!" The boy instantly lost his composure.

"I heard it from other people." Yukinoshita, the big one, said confidently: "They said you are twelve feet tall, broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, like a lion shaking the sky descending from the clouds, like a mythical beast shaking the earth sitting on a throne, with the strength of ten thousand tons in a single swing of your arms, and a person standing on your fist while riding a horse on your arm."

Li Wei: "Hey, hey, I'm sitting right in front of you. Is it possible that this person looks like me?"

Yang Nai: "As long as someone in the underworld commits evil and leaves people with nowhere to seek justice, they can come to you. You will definitely step in to help and extinguish the evildoer's fantasy of dominating the world. That's why you're called the 'Fantasy Killer'."

Li Wei: "The first half is true, but I've never heard the second half before?"

Yang Nai: "Because you always chant the mysterious ancient Chinese texts when you suppress evil spirits, there has always been a rumor that those who chant your true name can see eternal life in the cycle of reincarnation."

Li Wei: "I just often recall the Master's sayings and express my feelings; it's all nonsense!"

Yang Nai: "That meal that ate 20 fallen magicians, 40 man-eating monsters, 60 ungrateful psychics, and 80 fantasy creatures..."

Li Wei: "It's fake."

Yang Nai: "That silver handkerchief..."

Li Wei: "Complete fabrication, utter nonsense!"

Yang Nai: "That's a good option."

Li Wei: "I really don't have that!"

Yang Nai: "That's what everyone's saying."

"In short, of all the things you said, only the identity of the government's exorcism team advisor is correct; the rest are just unreliable rumors." The boy rubbed his forehead, looking particularly troubled. "Also, you shouldn't use the terms 'on the surface' and 'true identity,' because I am really a high school student and I'm studying hard. There's no way one identity is a cover for another."

"I see."

Seeing Li Wei's expression, Yukinoshita, on a larger scale, also breathed a sigh of relief. It was unclear whether she relaxed because the boy hadn't changed his attitude, or because the matter of the silver handkerchief had been explained.

At least Mom should be safe now... she should be.

"So, what's your view on the Otherworld?" Li Wei picked up his cup, took a small sip of coffee, and the hot liquid instantly relieved his thirst. He then asked Yang Nai this question in return.

"How to describe it? Probably something mysterious and powerful." For a moment, even Yukinoshita, in her larger size, didn't know how to describe it.

"At last night's party, those high-ranking officials, politicians, and tycoon families were already unapproachable figures in our eyes, but when they saw you, they were all incredibly obedient, like your subordinates. 'Humility' is not enough to describe it; it was more like flattery."

She said, "Besides, that's a power beyond ordinary people. Would anyone in the world not want that? If I had that ability, Mom and Yukino wouldn't have to work so hard."

Besides that, there was one more thing she didn't say.

That means mothers don't have to sacrifice their own happiness for the sake of the family business.

“No, the inner world isn’t like that.” Li Wei shook his head, denying her answer: “The people in the inner world are all newborns. Hmm… that’s not quite right either, since some people are innocent. Let me put it another way.”

"Among the people in the inner world, there are some who are not newborns."

Chapter 35 The Dark Side of the Inner World (Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

For someone like Yukino Yukinoshita, who hasn't had much exposure to the darker side of the underworld, it's quite normal to have fantasies about these things due to being exposed to morally correct anime and games from a young age.

Fortunately, Li Wei is very good at shattering such illusions. From this perspective, the nickname "Imagine Breaker" given to him by others is not wrong.

Indeed, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames, in this world.

"Let me give you an example." The boy pondered for a moment, then said, "Do you remember the cold, long-haired girl with black hair who sat on the left side of the party last night, accompanied by a pair of twin maids?"

"..."

Beneath the heavy snow, her brain raced, her usually sharp intellect regaining its dominance. Combined with her careful observation of the guests yesterday, corresponding images quickly surfaced in her mind.

She was a cold, aloof woman with a mesmerizing aura, her frail appearance amplified by her wheelchair. She seemed more like a ghost than a human. Beside her were two maids with contrasting personalities, dressed in traditional maid outfits, who appeared indifferent to everything.

However, after Li Wei appeared, her gaze remained fixed on the boy until he left, and she did not look away for a long time.

"she is……?"

“Her name is Wujie Wujie, and she is the head of the Wujie family, one of the four great exorcism families in Japan.” Li Wei patiently explained, “The Wujie family has completely fallen into ruin by this generation. She lost both her parents when she was young and was also suffering from a terminal illness. Her family’s property and inherited secret techniques were plundered by other families, leaving her, a cripple, lying in bed waiting to die.”

Because my best friend had some connections with the Wu Jing family, I cured her physical disability and, along with other things, helped her gradually recover the stolen valuables and secret techniques. Now, her family is slowly recovering.

What the boy didn't mention was that when he found Wutiao Wuhui, she was already terminally ill and had to be treated with some special methods that were not for outsiders to know. In addition, there was a considerable amount of bloodshed during the process of demanding the family property, but these were not the main points.

"Oh." Yang Nai nodded; this incident didn't seem to have a big impact on her.

Eating the property of the deceased is common everywhere, and she has seen it with her own eyes.

What's unusual is what Li Wei said afterward.

"The twin maids beside her are named Amber and Emerald. They possess the special ability of the Wujing family, which allows them to purify or purify the bodies of others by exchanging each other's bodily fluids." The boy continued, "Eight years ago, the two sisters were kidnapped by the head of the Tohno family, who intended to use them as tools to purify and reverse impulses."
