I don't keep a diary, I only spoil life.

Chapter 43. Children, my name is Tokisaki Tang San.

Children, do you remember the story of the 21st Tarot card, 'The World'?

It first appeared in the final chapter of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 3. It has both A-rank strength and speed, a massive build, a range of 10 meters, and is taciturn. Just standing in front of it can give people a suffocating sense of oppression.

With just one punch, he could rip open Kakyoin's stomach; his taut, charged punch could generate a visible gale.

But its most famous signature ability is—time stop.

At that time, Polnareff, one of the Stardust Crusaders, tried to climb the stairs to grab a lucky red envelope sent by Dio. He only managed to grab 0.01 yuan, and Dio himself couldn't afford to play anymore. He kept using World to move the French swordsman who was walking up the stairs back to the bottom of the stairs.

This is precisely the most overpowered and terrifying ability of 'TheWorld' compared to other Stands.

It can stop time for up to 9 seconds and can freely roam within the time stop time of other Stand users.

As a beneficiary of this power, Li Yinguang was once very enthusiastic about using it, and even fantasized that he had reached the pinnacle of the world with the ability to stop time.

But now he realizes he was wrong, terribly wrong.

Sitting in the living room of Yotsuya Miko's house, Li Yinguang listened to the sobbing coming from the toilet and couldn't help but sigh, wishing he could immediately give Dio a righteous slap.

CS Bread Ghost, look how scared this little girl is by stopping here!

The time for repentance has now ended.

What followed was a wave of fear.

Staring at the world with lingering fear, Li Yinguang suddenly felt immense admiration for himself, the first person in the world to dare to use a stand-in to escort Yotsuya Miko home. He might even get covered in it!

Seeing Yotsuya Miko's soft and aggrieved expression, he couldn't help but feel a little sorry for her and lent her a hand.

And now, in return.

He sat on her sofa, opened a box of pudding placed in front of the portrait of Jianzi's father, ate it under her astonished gaze, and then gave it a thumbs up:

"It's delicious, Uncle. It was worth it for me to help your daughter get home!"

Yes.

There are spirits in Yotsuya Miko's house too.

But his father was a spirit bound to the earth, not an evil spirit.

In contrast, his family also has a top-tier evil spirit that looks a lot like a horse's head. Its composition is currently unknown, but it is certain that it has no ill intentions towards Yotsuya Miko.

At this moment, the two of them stared blankly at the guy who had been brought home by Jianzi and was secretly eating the offerings while she was taking a bath.

The inherited ability to see yin and yang allowed Yotsuya Mamoru to see that Li Yinguang was not a simple thief who stole tribute items.

He already had mixed feelings about his daughter secretly bringing a young boy home, and seeing this scene only made him more upset.

That was pudding that her daughter had personally prepared for her.

When he came to his senses, he couldn't help but remind him, "Young man, stealing other people's offerings will diminish your merits."

He tried to subtly criticize the young man in his tone to make him realize his mistake.

Unfortunately, Old Deng still didn't quite understand.

The only being in the world who can make a god-like being submit is an even more god-like being.

"Merit? My donation box is overflowing, Uncle Glasses."

Li Yinguang racked his brains but couldn't think of anyone kinder than himself in the world, so he naturally couldn't tolerate Uncle Sigu's slander and immediately said, "I'm afraid you don't know, but I saved your daughter from dire straits!"

I can't think of anyone else who has such a fearless spirit, willing to be covered in urine to save Yotsuya Miko.

Is there anyone else who can do this besides me?!

"What? You actually saved our Jianzi? We are so grateful!" Yotsuya's father was immediately filled with respect and felt even more fortunate.

Although he was happy to see his daughter fall in love, the guy who squatted in front of someone's tombstone and ate pudding was still a bit too much.

Seeing that the misunderstanding had been cleared up, the amiable middle-aged man also invited Li Yinguang to sit down.

The two chatted happily, and a quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

This conversation also helped Li Yinguang gain a deeper understanding of the 'soul'.

This middle-aged man, who had the ability to see ghosts before his death, was exceptionally experienced. Especially after he said to himself, "I want Jianzi to work for my exorcism company," he shared all his insights on evil spirits.

Interestingly, judging from this man's appearance, he clearly meets the criteria for going to Rukongai, but he hasn't set off yet... perhaps he has some unfulfilled wish.

...

[Click!]

The toilet door suddenly opened.

Seeing that Jianzi was still shaken and had tears in her eyes, she was clearly not completely calm;

Turning around again, I heard another burst of hearty laughter coming from the living room.

A surprising scene came into view.

His own father was sitting across from that unknown blue-haired man, chatting about life.

Seeing the handful of pudding in his hand, all her pent-up grievances and frustrations erupted.

A voice rang out, "What are you still doing here!"

The lively exchange on the other end suddenly came to an abrupt halt.

Immediately afterwards, two human faces, one horse face, and one world face appeared, with four faces forcefully surrounding Yotsuya Miko.

Li Yinguang: "What do you mean I'm still here?"

Evil spirit: "How...are you still here?"

Yotsuya Mamoru: "See you?"

World: "Muda!"

Yotsuya Miko: "...."

The bizarre feeling of four faces in the same frame is overwhelming!

The pressure was now palpable, and the girl nearly fainted. She immediately imitated the Emperor's apology: "Red Bean's secret is with Marseille, but...you...you casually touched the offerings..."

The girl's condemnation was filled with various negative emotions, but she dared not show anger; it was even somewhat humble.

This was all because she had just witnessed the mysterious blue-haired man manipulating the evil spirits behind him to beat them up and even carry her away.

No way! If I dare to reason with a guy like that, he'll definitely punch me into a pulp!

But... what am I supposed to do if I don't find a way to get rid of this guy?

Despite it being her first time being alone in a room with a boy during her hormone-fueled adolescence, Yotsuya Miko felt as if she were in an ice cellar, devoid of any joy or sorrow in her life.

However, the young man's next words left her stunned.

"Do you want to change this passive situation where you're being chased by evil spirits?"

He seemed to utter his first coherent words since they met.

"Change the situation of being chased by evil spirits?" Jianzi was stunned.

“That’s right.”

Li Yinguang placed the empty pudding box back on the memorial tablet and said with a cheerful smile, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Tokisaki Tang San. I'm planning to open a paranormal incident shop and would like to recruit apprentices in advance. What do you say?"

"Tokisaki...Tang San?"

Seeing that the son could not bear to see his father's memorial tablet desecrated, he quickly threw the trash into the trash can before the evil spirit of the horse's head could approach it.

Then he asked, "The 'Hall of All Things Supernatural'?"

"That's right!"

"Take me to change my current situation?"

"That's right!"

"No longer afraid of being haunted by evil spirits?"

"That's right!"

Seeing that Zi had changed the subject, he asked, "Even to become as strong as you?"

“No—uh…” Li Yinguang realized midway and immediately retorted: “First of all, you have to start from the bottom. Generally speaking, it takes more than ten years for a low-level Hakimi like you to have a chance to become a mid-level Hakimi!”

A brand-new power system has begun to take shape. With Li Yinguang recruiting his first subordinates, the exclusive title of 'Hakimi' belonging to the God-Man Family has finally been fully established.

Seeing the child, she was inevitably confused: "Hakimi? Isn't that honey? Also, I'm willing to work, where is our company located?"

However, Li Yinguang did not want to discuss these two topics too much.

They just kept emphasizing that "Hakimi is the unified honorific title used by the mystical side to refer to higher life forms," ​​and made empty promises like, "Once you pass the novice test, I will immediately take you to the base."

After a while, seeing that Zi was getting a little dizzy from being pulled around, he gradually began to believe in this explanation.

But then she thought again, and a hint of displeasure appeared on her face, which was befitting of someone carrying a diary: "But senior, you just now..."

“That’s how we Hakimi greet each other,” Li Yinguang interrupted casually, raising a finger. “Remember one thing: what you love is your life.”

It was a very boring, repetitive conversation, and there wasn't a trace of sincerity in it.

However, due to the pressing situation, Yotsuya Miko puffed out her cheeks and finally had no choice but to give a weak and feeble reply.

What kind of exorcism company is this, actively soliciting people...?

As a result, they wouldn't even let us choose a company location.

At this moment, Li Yinguang's image had already been firmly established in Yotsuya Miko's mind; he was a purely evil person.

No one knows a daughter better than her father. Seeing his daughter suddenly go from being excited to being depressed, he was deeply moved.

"See you." Yotsuya Mamoru murmured, then looked at Li Yinguang with a puzzled expression.

The latter replied as follows—

"Look, he's in a hurry."

As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life," how could Li Yinguang possibly see his new disciple and half-daughter looking sad?

Seeing that Miko didn't dare to protest, he shrugged and smiled, then suddenly asked, "Miko, let me ask you a question: are you willing to make a promise to me?"

Eh, your teacher?

Seeing Zi's expression was as if she had seen a ghost; despite her stunningly beautiful appearance, she always wore a bewildered and adorable expression.

Her eyes were fixed on the way Li Yinguang took something out of his sleeve.

It was a string of prayer beads.

But it's different from ordinary prayer beads.

It contains various Buddhist secret keys that are very difficult to understand.

"These are top-grade Buddhist beads that I obtained from the Great Thunderclap Temple. With them, you can defeat any sun monster."

"Now, take it."

Seeing the obviously exquisite Buddhist beads gleaming in his palm, Li Yinguang's hateful face gradually became kind and gentle in Jianzi's eyes.

"You, Master, I... how can this be..." The girl was speechless for a moment.

All the words in the world converged into one thought. At this moment, Li Yinguang, with his blue hair and golden eyes, was like a god to Jianzi.

"Well done, you did a great job! Jianzi... why don't you quickly say thank you to your third brother?" The old father's joyful voice suddenly came from the side.

Even the evil spirit, whose head was unclear whether it was a horse or a dog, howled loudly. It was clear that the spirit, as the guardian of the family, was not burned by the magical artifact. On the contrary, it was very happy that its family members could receive this rare protection.

For Jianzi, this was purely a blessing in disguise.

They thought they had disturbed the lair of a high-level evil spirit, but who knew they would encounter their destined benefactor.

This made the girl extremely happy, and she wanted to kneel down and become his disciple immediately.

But faced with Jianzi's finally showing respect for her teacher, Li Yinguang simply helped her up.

Looking into those golden eyes that were just like his own, he gave his only request.

"No need for thanks, I only have one request. Remember, once you've made it big enough to sell your goods, don't reveal who your master is."

"And another thing! Starting tomorrow, come with me to set up a stall in the downtown area. Your master will guide you to defeat the evil spirits!"
