I came to the anime crossover site to farm money.

Body-stealing is an evil technique that involves possessing another's body. It is relatively easy to practice, but it has strict requirements for the target, usually requiring a blood relative close to the user.

The number of Ze Yuezhi's blood relatives, after initial investigation, is astonishingly large.

This means that he could very well be hiding inside any of these descendants.

That's not the most troublesome part. The most troublesome thing is that this body-stealing technique can theoretically be used multiple times, as long as there is a suitable target.

Although his original power and soul would weaken with each possession, he would be difficult to kill completely as long as there was a suitable bloodline vessel.

In addition, the ministry's peripheral investigation also revealed that Ze Yuezhi had traveled abroad many times under various pretexts over the years, and his whereabouts spanned several countries and regions.

Given his actions in China, he must have left behind his descendants abroad as well.

These unknown bloodlines could also become targets for his possession and resurrection.

"This is really... troublesome."

Yukino Fuyuki couldn't help but sigh.

This type of enemy is not strong in direct combat, but it is extremely difficult to capture and completely eliminate, like a slippery eel.

"If I had known this case would be so difficult, I shouldn't have taken it in the first place..."

She muttered a complaint under her breath, but quickly composed herself and began to think calmly.

"We need to find a way to break his body-snatching technique."

After a while, Ms. Yasakani finished washing the dishes and came out of the kitchen. Seeing Yukino Fuyuki's serious expression, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong, Fuyuki?"

Yukino Fuyuki raised her head, her cold eyes staring directly at Hachisaku, and said in a serious tone, "Hachisaku, your little boyfriend might really be in trouble this time."

"what?"

During lunch break.

Su You and Gui Yanye had just finished eating their bento boxes together and were chatting.

Just then, Su You's phone suddenly vibrated in her pocket.

He took it out and saw that the screen displayed the name "Miss Eight Feet".

Hmm? Could it be that Miss Hachisak has woken up?

Su You gave Gui Yanye an apologetic look.

Katsura Kotonoha immediately nodded in understanding and returned a gentle smile.

Su You stood up, quickly walked out of the classroom, and went to a relatively quiet corner of the corridor. She pressed the answer button: "Hello, Miss Yachi? Is there anything urgent?"

The voice of the woman on the other end of the phone carried a hint of seriousness: "Mr. Su, I have something very important to tell you. Regarding Ze Yuezhi... the department's test report is out. He is most likely not dead. He probably used a body-stealing technique to fake his death and escape."

"Body-stealing technique?"

Subsequently, over the phone, Miss Yasakani briefly relayed Yukino Fuyuki's discoveries and speculations, the principles of the Body-Stealing Technique, the possibility that the other party might be lurking among many bloodline descendants, and the possibility of their revenge against Su You. Finally, she solemnly reminded him to be careful and to guard against possible retaliation from the shadows.

Su You listened quietly, her expression gradually shifting from initial surprise to something... strange.

Huh? Such a good thing?

A half-demon, especially one that has just used the Body-Stealing Technique and is in a weakened state, is highly likely to come looking for you.

According to the system's mechanics, once Ze Yuezhi, a "famous" character in the original work, is killed, the equipment he drops will most likely be unique equipment.

You can even unlock special titles.

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I'll be careful."

After hanging up the phone, Su You did not immediately return to the classroom.

He leaned against the cold wall of the corridor, his gaze fixed on the basketball court in the distance outside the window, looking somewhat lost in thought.

He was not afraid of Ze Yuezhi's own strength.

After all, there's Tama with eight tails.

The real difficulty lies in the opponent's troublesome "body-stealing technique." If the opponent's method cannot be broken, it is easy for him to escape again by using the bloodline container.

In that case, Xiaoyu's existence might be exposed by the other party.

Moreover, once they knew his true situation, the other party would no longer be willing to come looking for their own death.

This means that Su You must ensure that he can kill his opponent with a single blow.

But it's not entirely hopeless...

With a thought, Su You opened the skill panel.

His talent skill, [Death Sentence], is now more than halfway through its cooldown.

It will be usable again in a little over a week.

Once activated, this skill would immediately declare Ze Yuezhi dead, which should fundamentally solve the problem of the Body-Stealing Technique.

However, Kotoha's safety needs to be considered during the time before her skill fully cools down.

After all, Kotoha was present when he killed Makoto Ito.

And in a sense, she was the catalyst that led to Ito Makoto's relentless pursuit and ultimately caused Su You to take action.

Given Zetsu's chaotic and evil mindset, it's hard to say he wouldn't direct his revenge at the seemingly weak Katsura Kotonoha.

Su You thought for a while.

How about having Xiaoyu secretly protect Yan Ye during this time?

This is a good opportunity for her to get out and relax, so she doesn't have to watch helplessly as I go out every night to have in-depth conversations with Miss Hachi-tachi...

Su You looked down at the back of her hand and, through the connection of the contract mark, said, "Xiao Yu, there's something I want to discuss with you."

Tamamo-no-Mae was drinking coffee alone in the Cat's Eye Cafe. She rested her cheek on her hand and lazily replied, "Master, what is it?"

"You want me to secretly protect Katsura Kotonoha? No way!"

"Give me a portion of your primordial power every day? No way."

"Two portions?...I'm not going..."

"Three portions?...Three portions...This isn't a question of origin or non-origin."

"What? Ten portions? Master, please entrust this matter to me!"

Tamamo-no-Mae picked up her cup, drank the coffee in one gulp, got up, paid the bill, and left.

Chapter 92 Can You Perform That Again? (4K)

Tamamo-no-Mae quickly returned to school.

She bought a new keyboard, and her expression had returned to normal; she was no longer as downcast as she had been that morning.

After school, Su You, as usual, rode his bicycle to take Gui Yanye home.

Upon arriving at Katsura Kotonoha's house, Tamamo-no-Mae emerged from the contract mark on Su You's hand. Using illusion magic as cover, she silently followed Katsura Kotonoha into the house.

Katsura Kotonoha's house is very large. In addition to the room where she, her mother, and her sister live, there are also many empty guest rooms.

Tamamo-no-Mae wandered around the house, and suddenly she stopped in a storage room.

"what?"

Tamamo-no-Mae pushed open the door and went inside. In a corner among a pile of old things, she saw an ancient katana lying quietly on its side.

"This knife..."

A hint of surprise appeared in Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes.

She walked over, reached out and picked up the katana, slowly drawing it from its sheath.

The slender blade gleamed coldly in the dim light, possessing a strange, mottled, bluish-black texture.

"Sumikana... the small, chaotic blade pattern... it's a sword from the Aoe school..."

Seeing such antiquities inevitably brings back some memories of the past.

Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes became somewhat wistful.

After a moment of remembrance, she put the knife back and walked out of the storage room.

Afterwards, she selected an empty room on the second floor that suited her taste in terms of lighting and layout, went inside, and temporarily "settled" at Katsura Kotonoha's house to begin fulfilling her duty of protecting her in secret.

Su You rode her bicycle back to the old apartment building alone.

He didn't see his landlady, Ms. Lily, at the apartment entrance today.

The door to her first-floor room was tightly closed, and even the curtains were drawn shut. It was unclear whether she had gone out or was doing something inside.

After parking her bicycle in the stairwell, Su You returned to her home.

As soon as he pushed open the door, a small figure rushed over joyfully, like a puppy waiting for its owner to return home, and hugged his leg tightly.

It was a Zashiki-warashi (a type of spirit or shrine maiden) who stayed at home.

She tilted her little face up, her big black eyes filled with pure joy.

"Ah! Ah!"

Su You smiled and ruffled her soft hair, then took out a colorful essence and handed it to her.

The little girl happily took it and ate it in small bites.

After finishing her meal, Su You noticed that a small section of her black and red sailor uniform had changed from black to a more vibrant red.

Unfortunately, Zashiki was still too weak. Her ability to withstand the effects of the energy was far inferior to that of Tamamo-no-Mae. Digesting one portion of the original energy per day was about her limit.

Otherwise, he could keep feeding her until her clothes were completely red.

But her current evolution speed is not slow.

At this rate, the Zashiki-warashi will be fully formed in about another month, at which point we will know what kind of abilities the legendary "Blood-Clad Zashiki" possesses.

Entering the bedroom, Su You put on the new keyboard that Tamamo-no-Mae had bought. He turned to look at Zashiki, who was standing in the doorway with a satisfied expression, and suddenly asked uncertainly, "Zashiki..."

The little girl tilted her head: "Huh?"

Su You asked, "Have you grown a little taller?"

The little girl looked confused: "Huh..."

Su You found a measuring tape and measured the little girl's current height.

121 cm.

Write this number down, and measure it again in a few days.

Su You put away the measuring tape, took the zashiki-warashi (a type of Japanese house spirit) with her, and went out to the door of the room rented by Miss Yasakani.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Soon, Miss Hachisak, wearing an apron, opened the door.

Upon seeing Su You standing outside the door, a gentle and joyful smile immediately appeared on her face, like a wife welcoming her husband home. She took out new slippers from the shoe cabinet and bent down to put them on him herself.

"Su Jun is back. Should we take a shower first, or eat first, or...?"

Her words carried a hint of the ambiguous tenderness characteristic of a Japanese wife.

Su You smiled and said, "Let's eat first."

Miss Ba Chi nodded, straightened up and said gently, "Then I'll go to the kitchen to get the dishes. Su Jun, please sit for a while."

She looked at the little girl Su You was holding hands with and said softly, "Zashiki too."

The Zashiki-warashi was no longer so afraid of Yasakani-san. It looked up at her, blinked its big eyes, and gave a soft, sweet reply: "Ya."

Su You sat down at the dining table with her Zashiki-warashi (a type of spirit servant).

Miss Bachi carried steaming hot dishes out of the kitchen.

Su You's gaze fell on the conspicuous large soup bowl in the center of the table.

Inside is a golden-yellow, fragrant chicken soup.

Miss Yachi walked over with a soup ladle and said softly, "This is a medicinal chicken soup that I learned from a chef on the TV show 'Totsuki Kitchen.' It is said to have very nourishing effects. I simmered it all afternoon. Su-kun, you should drink more of it later."

"Totsuki Kitchen" is a popular cooking instruction TV program among housewives. Each episode invites different outstanding graduates of Totsuki Kitchen to be guests on the show.

Su You nodded and said, "Okay."

Although he didn't need this extra nourishment, it was a token of Miss Yatachi's affection, and he naturally wouldn't refuse.
