I came to the anime crossover site to farm money.

Such fast Iaijutsu!

Ordinary people simply cannot see the trajectory of the knife strike.

A hint of amazement flashed in Su You's eyes.

He didn't disturb her, but instead raised his hands and began to do "eye exercises" for himself.

Ten minutes later, Su You flicked another drop of water at Katsura Kotonoha.

This time, with the blessing of the [Clear Vision] buff, Su You clearly saw how Katsura Kotonoha drew her sword in an instant. The blade made several precise slashes in the air at a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive, completely disintegrating the water droplets. Then, with an incredibly smooth movement, she quickly sheathed the sword.

The entire movement was as smooth as flowing water, so fast that it left only a fleeting afterimage.

Katsura Kotonoha slowly opened her eyes, removed the silk scarf from her neck, and looked at Su You: "Su-kun."

Su You asked, "Yan Ye, how are you feeling?"

Katsura Kotonoha answered truthfully: "I should be able to fight for a short time in that state, but I can't adapt to that state for a long time yet."

She paused, then added, "If you take off the scarf, there won't be a problem."

Removing the scarf will reduce your agility by 3 points, which is a significant difference.

Su You nodded and said, "It's alright, you'll get used to it gradually. Take off the scarf first, and if you encounter a powerful enemy, you can put it back on."

"Yes." Katsura Kotonoha nodded, and said earnestly, "Thank you, Su-kun, for giving me such a precious potion and gift."

Su You looked at her and shook her head, saying, "What are you thanking me for? Yan Ye, you're not allowed to say things like that again."

Katsura Kotonoha paused for a moment, then smiled brightly and obediently replied, "Okay."

She gripped the ancient Qingjiang sword tightly, feeling the power surging within her and the excitement of the katana in her hand.

Now, I should be considered truly qualified to fight alongside Su Jun, right?

Even the car demon she encountered in the tunnel this morning, she felt that with the ribbon tied around her neck, she should be able to defeat it.

The first floor of an old apartment building.

The window, which had been tightly closed for two days with even the curtains drawn shut, was finally slowly pulled open from the inside by a slightly trembling hand.

Miss Lily stood behind the window, her face, which was originally as innocent and naive as a primary school student's, now filled with exhaustion and despair.

Her face was pale, her eyes unfocused, and she leaned limply against the window frame, as if all her strength had been drained away. The sudden influx of sunlight made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

She squinted unconsciously, her long eyelashes casting a small shadow under her eyes.

"Aha……"

She let out a weak sigh, as if she had just finished running a marathon and her soul was about to float out of her mouth.

"I'm going to die... How could they be so strong this time..."

With a complicated expression, she raised her eyelids, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the third floor, towards the room belonging to Miss Yachi.

A vague sense of annoyance and... subtle jealousy spread through her heart.

"It's all her fault!" Little Lily grumbled to herself. She shouldn't have bothered so much; why did she go up there so kindly the other day?

As a result, he almost got himself killed!

Little Lily sighed deeply, her delicate eyebrows furrowing tightly, her face filled with worry.

I managed to get through this bout of natural restlessness, but the question is, what should I do next time?

She could clearly feel that the effect of self-sealing was weakening over time, and the frequency and intensity of her natural restlessness were becoming higher and higher, and increasingly difficult to suppress.

Perhaps... in two days, or even tomorrow, that suffocating primal urge will return.

Little Lily's eyes were filled with struggle.

On one side is the "ordinary" life she has deliberately maintained for many years, a belief that guides her self-discipline; on the other side is the growing, unbearable hunger and restlessness that originates from the depths of her blood.

Two thoughts were locked in a fierce battle in her mind.

In the end, that struggle was gradually replaced by a resolute attitude of "what's the use of trying?"

Her gaze returned to the window, looking towards Su You's room on the third floor.

Take Su Jun for example, even that guy with eight feet can do it... why can't I?

This decision seemed to have removed her last bit of hesitation, and instead, a kind of decadent, morbid ease arose in her exhausted body.

Chapter 99: The Part About Both Loli and Mature (4K)

After leaving headquarters, Su You and Katsura Kotonoha returned to the bustling commercial street, where they met up with Tamamo-no-Mae and Zashiki-warashi who were waiting there.

Su You summoned the transformable [Soul Racer] again, switched it to car mode, and drove the group towards a somewhat desolate cemetery outside the city.

According to the description of the newly accepted mission, the gravedigger here has recently been hearing strange crying and laughing sounds coming from outside the window. Whenever the sound disappears and he goes out to check, he can only find a line of wet footprints on the ground, nothing else.

Investigators initially determined that the death energy accumulated in the cemetery gave birth to a rudimentary ghost. Due to its weak power and the constraints of the cemetery environment, it was temporarily unable to leave and could only wander around the area based on instinct.

The objective of the mission is to defeat the monsters, and the reward is 1 contribution point.

Upon arriving at their destination, Su You parked the car outside the iron gate covered in vines.

Everyone got off the bus and went inside together.

The gravedigger was a middle-aged man with a haggard face, heavy dark circles under his eyes like brand marks, and an inescapable worry and fatigue lingering between his brows.

People who dare to work in such places are naturally quite daring, but encountering supernatural events that cannot be explained by common sense is another matter entirely.

"Hello, we are staff members from the Special Cases Department, here to handle an unusual incident." Su You showed him her work ID.

Although these visitors were rather young and not dressed as monks and priestesses, the information on their work IDs was indeed genuine.

After seeing the work ID, the middle-aged man's face instantly lit up with joy, as if he had seen a savior: "Ah! You've finally come! I was thinking of quitting if you hadn't come soon! Come on in!"

Upon entering the cemetery, the atmosphere suddenly changes.

Rows of cold tombstones stood silently, and a faint, eerie atmosphere permeated the air, making even the sunlight seem dimmer.

Tamamo-no-Mae seemed to sense something, glanced in a certain direction, and said nothing.

Everyone arrived at the gravedigger's simple office and rested there for a while.

Su You listened to the explanation given by the tomb keeper.

In fact, the information he provided was very limited. Because of fear, the man did not dare to investigate further and stayed in his office.

He simply described the chilling sounds and footprints to Su Yu and Katsura Kotoha repeatedly.

Su You nodded and said, "We have a general understanding of the situation. Please wait here patiently, we will go out and handle it soon."

The man nodded repeatedly, clasped his hands together, and said earnestly, "Then I entrust everything to you! Please make sure this place is restored to its former peace!"

Stepping out of the office, Su You, aided by the perception effect of [The Curator's Malice], could clearly "see" wisps of grayish-black resentment lingering in the air outside the window, like guiding threads winding towards a certain direction in the cemetery.

He was about to give directions when he heard Katsura Kotonoha speak first, saying with certainty, "Su-kun, it seems to be over there!"

The direction she pointed was the same as the direction Su You "saw".

Su You asked with some curiosity, "Yan Ye, how did you know?"

Katsura Kotonoha picked up the old Aoe sword in her hand and explained, "It's what told me that."

The blade was emitting a barely perceptible hum, conveying to its owner a keen awareness of the presence of spirits.

"I see."

It's normal for this weapon to possess sentience and be able to sense spirits.

As expected of Kotoha's signature weapon, it's very useful.

Su You nodded and said, "I sensed the same direction. Yan Ye, this mission shouldn't be too difficult, so I'll leave it to you. I'll support you from the side."

A fighting spirit ignited in Katsura Kotonoha's eyes. She gripped the hilt of her sword tightly and solemnly replied, "Yes, Su-kun!"

Following the directions given by Gu Qingjiang, she walked step by step deeper into the cemetery.

The deeper you go, the more desolate the surroundings become, overgrown with weeds, clearly neglected for a long time.

A faint, intermittent sobbing sound, ethereal yet sorrowful, began to drift through the air.

Katsura Kotoha's expression hardened. She could feel the Kosei in her hand trembling even more violently, as if it were the excitement of encountering prey.

She stopped in her tracks.

Although she knew that with Su Jun protecting her, she was safe, she longed to complete the mission cleanly and efficiently on her own and prove herself to Su Jun.

So, Katsura Kotonoha took out the enchanted silk scarf and tied it around her neck.

Agility 1, Agility +2.

Katsura Kotonoha suddenly felt her body become incredibly light, and all her senses became more acute.

The previously muffled sobbing sound was now clearly audible, and she could even pinpoint the exact location of the sound source:

About thirty meters to the right, deep in the grass.

Katsura Kotonoha took a deep breath, gripped Kosei's hand, and cautiously approached her target direction with light steps.

Pushing aside the waist-high weeds, she quickly spotted her target.

It was a thin figure, kneeling on the ground with his back to her, his hands covering his face, his shoulders shaking incessantly, emitting heartbreaking sobs.

The figure had unusually long and thin fingernails, which were covered with an ominous, pale red halo that seemed to be formed from resentment.

Katsura Kotonoha stopped again, not daring to step forward rashly.

She recalled Su You's strategy of first testing the waters with a tar bomb when dealing with the car demon that morning.

Since I have no experience, I'll just learn from Su Jun.

Katsura Kotonoha reached into the pocket of her sweatpants and took out a small pebble she had picked up by the roadside.

She gently rubbed the pebble a few times on Gu Qingjiang's cold scabbard, imbuing it with a trace of spirit-slaying energy, then flicked her wrist, accurately throwing the pebble at the weeping figure.

"Snapped!"

The pebble, imbued with the aura of the ancient Qingjiang River, struck the spirit directly, producing a soft clattering sound.

"Ah ah--!!!"

The frail figure who had been weeping with her face covered was startled and suddenly turned her head, revealing a distorted face that was a mixture of endless anger and deep sorrow.

It opened its mouth and let out a piercing scream that tore at the eardrums. Its kneeling body sprang up with a terrifying speed that defied the laws of physics, as if it were teleporting. It raised its arms with long red fingernails and rushed towards Katsura Kotonoha, who had disturbed it.

Faced with this horrifying scene, Katsura Kotonoha's heart remained as calm as a deep well.

She lowered her body slightly, her right hand firmly gripping the hilt of the sword, assuming the most classic starting stance for drawing the sword, her eyes sharp as a hawk, locked on the charging evil spirit.

Just as the evil spirit entered her optimal attack range—

"Qiang!"

A crisp, clean sound rang out as the sword was sheathed.

It seemed like there was only one sound, yet it also seemed like it rang out countless times in an instant.

Su You only saw Katsura Kotonoha's figure seem to sway slightly, and several cold blade lights that were almost invisible to the naked eye flashed by like a crescent moon.

The red evil spirit that had been charging forward with such ferocity suddenly froze in mid-air.

Then, as if it had been cut countless times by an invisible blade, it could not even let out a wail before it exploded in the air with a "bang," turning into countless firefly-like specks of light that quickly dissipated into the cold air.

A small portion of the purest spiritual particles, as if drawn by an attraction, drifted directly towards the ancient Qingjiang in Katsura Kotonoha's hand, silently merging into the blade and being greedily absorbed by it.

Su You looked at Katsura Kotonoha, her tone filled with undisguised admiration, and said, "What a clean and decisive victory, Kotonoha, you won beautifully!"

A hint of immense joy at being recognized flashed in Katsura Kotonoha's eyes, but she remained humble, bowing her head slightly and saying softly, "Not at all, it was the equipment that Su-kun gave me that helped me a lot."

Tamamo-no-Mae, standing to the side, pursed her lips, yawned boredly, and covered her mouth with her hand.

To her, evil spirits of this caliber could be easily obliterated with a flick of her foxfire, so they held no interest whatsoever.

I don't know what the owner has to praise.

Su You walked over, somewhat interested in the small pebble that had just struck the spirit.

But when he picked it up, he found that the ancient Qingjiang scent that had been on the pebble had dissipated.

This method is obviously only a temporary solution, but it's still not bad.

Apart from that, nothing else exploded on the ground.

It's a little of a pity, but it's okay for him to kill a few fewer monsters in order to train Kotoha.
