I came to the anime crossover site to farm money.

Su You then took Zashiki home and turned on the computer for her.

"Remember to go to bed early tonight, we're going out to play together tomorrow."

"ah!"

Zashiki nodded earnestly.

After giving instructions to Zashiki, Su You went to the living room.

He nourished the [core] with his spiritual power and primal energy, then returned to Miss Yasakani's residence to ask her for help in restoring his energy.

The next morning, the sun shone brightly, a perfect sunny day for going out to do a mission.

After enjoying the breakfast that Miss Yasakani had carefully prepared, which still had a slightly "nourishing" flavor, Su You took Zashiki-warashi's little hand and went out.

He rode his bicycle, put the excited little girl on the back seat, and arrived at Katsura Kotonoha's house.

Katsura Kotonoha and Tamamo-no-Mae were already waiting there.

Guixin originally wanted to go out with her sister, but was persuaded by Tamamo-no-Mae to stay home and do her homework.

Su You saw that Katsura Kotonoha had a long, thin sword pouch slung across her back, which contained the ancient Qingjiang sword that had been awakened by her blood.

Although it is illegal to openly carry a sharpened knife in an island nation, with the great yokai Tamamo-no-Mae around, this problem can be easily solved with a simple visual concealment.

"Good morning, Su-kun." Katsura Kotoha greeted Su You with a gentle smile.

"Kotoha, good morning." Su You stopped her bicycle and turned her gaze to Tamamo-no-Mae beside her. "Good morning, Tamamo-no-Mae."

Tamamo-no-Mae nodded slightly: "Mm."

Katsura Kotonoha's curious gaze fell on the little girl sitting on the back of the bicycle, tightly gripping Su You's clothes.

The little girl was wearing a black and red sailor uniform. She looked timid but very cute.

Su You smiled and introduced, "This is the Zashiki-warashi I mentioned to you before, the one I adopted. I named her Su Fu."

Katsura Kotonoha lowered her head and greeted him in a gentle and polite tone: "Hello, Su Shi, I am Katsura Kotonoha, and I am Su-kun's friend."

The Zashiki-warashi, somewhat shyly, hid half its body behind Su You, only peeking out its little head and softly replying, "Ah..."

Su You stroked her soft hair and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, this Sister Gui is a good person."

"Ah." The Zashiki-warashi seemed a little more at ease, but still not completely relaxed.

Tamamo-no-Mae watched silently from the side; she seemed unusually quiet today.

Su You looked at her and said, "Xiao Yu, do me a favor and cover your breath."

Tamamo-no-Mae nodded, her tone compliant: "Okay."

She raised her hand and waved it gently, and an invisible ripple spread out from the group of people.

Under the cover of illusion, Su You thought for a moment, put the ordinary bicycle back into her inventory, took out the key, and summoned the sleek [Undead Racer].

He had the petite Zashiki-warashi sit on the oil tank in front of him and told her to hold on tight.

Katsura Kotonoha curiously looked at the motorcycle, then naturally walked over, gracefully straddled the seat behind him, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

Tamamo-no-Mae watched this scene, her eyes flickering with complex emotions, before she silently transformed into a pink streak of light and disappeared into the contract mark on Su You's hand.

"Kotoha, hold on tight, we're about to set off."

"Ah."

Su You started the motorcycle, the engine emitted a deep roar, and the three of them sped towards the mission location.

His destination was a somewhat desolate tunnel located on the edge of the city.

According to mission information, several drivers have recently reported to relevant departments that they saw old and rusty car wrecks inside the tunnel while driving through it.

Strangely, the different drivers described different car models among the wrecked vehicles.

After investigators from the Special Cases Department reviewed historical accident files, they discovered that the witnessed wreckage seemed to correspond to vehicles that had been involved in accidents inside the tunnel, leading them to suspect that the incident was caused by a local spirit.

The task reward is pretty good, with 2 contribution points.

Soon, Su You arrived at her destination.

He parked his motorcycle in front of the tunnel entrance.

The area has been temporarily cordoned off by the police with caution tape and signs that read "No Entry".

Even standing outside the tunnel, one can feel a faint, icy chill emanating from its deep interior.

In Su You's vision, with the help of the Curator's malice, he could clearly see wisps of gray-black, resentful mist slowly drifting out from the depths of the tunnel.

"This is it, Kotoha, be careful, there is definitely something in the tunnel."

Su You looked at the tunnel and said.

Katsura Kotonoha nodded seriously, "Yes."

This was her first time undertaking a paranormal mission, so she was inevitably a little nervous.

Su You put the motorcycle back into the system space, and then took out the peach wood sword that had been enchanted by the [Scout Dagger].

Tamamo-no-Mae also emerged from the contract mark. She didn't need to personally handle such a small task; she was just out to look after the Zashiki-warashi.

Katsura Kotonoha took a deep breath, took the Kosei Tachi from its scabbard, and held it at her waist.

The four of them stepped into the dimly lit, deep tunnel that seemed to devour light.

Although the lights inside the tunnel were on, the light was extremely dim and flickered intermittently, creating a very unsettling atmosphere.

However, thanks to the +1 night vision provided by the peach wood sword, Su You's vision was not greatly affected, and he was able to clearly observe the situation inside the tunnel.

After walking about 300 meters into the tunnel, Su You suddenly stopped.

Not far ahead of him, a dense, impenetrable black shadow was gathering in the roadside gloom. The shadow twisted and writhed, emanating an aura of chilling resentment and unwillingness.

"Kotoha, be careful, the target is just ahead," Su You whispered a warning.

Katsura Kotonoha nodded, her expression focused.

She adjusted her breathing, firmly gripped the scabbard with one hand and the hilt with the other, assuming the starting stance for drawing her sword, her whole being like a bowstring ready to be released.

As they drew closer, Katsura Kotonoha finally saw the true form of the dark figure.

It was the wreckage of a car, severely deformed and covered in rust, as if it had been kneaded by a tremendous force.

At the same time, she could clearly feel the ancient Qingjiang katana she was holding trembling slightly.

That wasn't fear, but rather the excitement of encountering prey.

It yearns to vanquish the evil spirit before it.

"Su-kun..." Katsura Kotonoha called softly, her voice carrying a hint of fighting spirit infected by the tachi's emotions. "Shall we go?"

"Don't rush, let's test the waters first."

As Su You spoke, she took out a homemade tar bomb from her inventory.

He threw it forcefully, smashing it against the stationary wreckage of the car.

"boom!"

The tar bomb exploded on the rusty car body, splattering thick, black tar everywhere.

As if startled by the sudden attack, the car wreckage suddenly "came to life".

The piercing warning sound of the car horn rang out without warning, and the two already broken headlights suddenly lit up like eyes, emitting a ghastly white light.

Su You ignored this and continued her actions without pausing, immediately throwing out another ball of ordinary foxfire.

The flames landed precisely on the car's exterior, and upon contact with the tar, they burst into flames with a deafening roar, quickly engulfing the entire wreckage.

"Woo——!!!"

The blaring of the horn grew even sharper and more piercing, like a dying wail echoing through the empty tunnel.

The two broken headlights also began to flash wildly.

Immediately afterwards, amidst the raging flames, the burning remains twisted and deformed violently, accompanied by a tooth-grinding metallic scraping sound, and it actually "stood up" shakily, transforming into a hideous mechanical humanoid about three meters tall, composed of flames, twisted metal, and resentment.

It roared, a mixture of engine noise and vengeful shrieks, and brandished its burning metal arms as it lunged at Su You and Gui Yanye, who had disturbed it.

"Kotoha, step back!"

This thing is unlike the evil spirit Su You first encountered in the abandoned apartment; it's clearly not something Kotoha's sword-drawing technique can handle.

Su You stomped her foot hard and dodged to the side.

Katsura Kotonoha also nimbly withdrew and retreated.

The two dodged the blow from the metal arm, and with a loud crash, the once intact road surface was now shattered into pieces.

Katsura Kotonoha couldn't help but exclaim, "Su-kun, it's so strong!"

"Its strength is great, but mine is no less!"

Su You instantly donned the Strong Armor Set and equipped herself with the [Eight-Foot Adult Blood], causing her body to swell up dramatically, almost as tall as the car demon.

He charged straight at the enemy.

The car demon roared and charged towards him.

Suddenly, a spiked shield, visible only to him, appeared in Su You's hand, blocking the opponent's attack. He then let out a low shout:

"Stand still."

Chapter 97 The Power of a Thousand (4K)

As Su You gave the order, the evil eye on the ring on his hand fixed its gaze on the car demon.

The car demon's forward momentum suddenly halted, its waving arms stopped in mid-air, and the light in its eyes, made up of car headlights, seemed to freeze for a moment.

"Did it work?" Su You thought to herself.

However, the next second, the red light in the car demon's eyes suddenly surged, and it let out an even more furious roar. Its other intact metal arm slammed into Su You's head with an even faster speed and a shrill whistling sound that tore through the air!

Hypnosis, which has always worked so well, has suddenly stopped working?

Su You's heart skipped a beat.

This was the first time he had encountered an enemy who could resist the ring's hypnosis.

Perhaps it's because the other person is mechanical that they have a higher resistance to emotional manipulation?

Su You did not panic. With the help of the monstrous strength boost (strength attribute 3) provided by the bloodline of the Eight-Foot Master, his strength value has now reached 15 points.

According to the system rules, each point of strength exceeding the standard by 5 points will have its effect doubled. At this moment, he possesses the "strength of a thousand men," far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Since control isn't working, let's try something tough!

Without hesitation, Su You mobilized the icy demonic power within the bloodline of the Eight-Foot Master, gathering it into his clenched fist.

The fist was instantly enveloped in a faint aura of light, exactly the same as the barrier provided by [Sanctuary].

Then, without dodging or avoiding, Su You met the oncoming metal arm with her fist and punched out with all her might!

"boom!!!"

An even louder explosion followed, as if a bomb had detonated inside the tunnel.

To Katsura Kotonoha's astonishment, the car demon's thick, burning steel arm was shattered by Su You's punch.

Countless parts and pieces of iron, along with sparks, flew everywhere.

The evil spirit's enormous body could not withstand the terrifying force, and it staggered backward, crashing heavily to the ground with another huge roar.

Su You shook her fist, her knuckles throbbing with pain and bleeding profusely.

Even with the protection of the demonic barrier and the gloves, he was still injured by the direct confrontation with the steel.

However, for him, who possessed the all-powerful red potion of primal power, this was a minor issue.

Without the slightest hesitation, his massive body unleashed an agility beyond its capabilities, charging towards the fallen evil spirit like a cheetah.

The evil spirit waved its remaining arm in vain, trying to support its body, but it appeared extremely clumsy with the arm missing.

Su You rushed in front of it, raised her foot and stomped hard on the car demon's chest like a warhammer, pinning it to the ground so that it could not get up.

Then, he gripped the spiked [Thorn Shield] tightly with both hands, using it as a fierce blunt weapon, and launched a storm of attacks on the car demon beneath him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

The muffled thud of the shield slamming mingled with the noise of metal being torn apart and pierced.
