As she spoke, Winette pointed to the street—there, a high school boy was walking down the street, and something behind him made a move, instantly shattering a passing evil spirit.

"Just like that boy, exorcising evil spirits was just something he did on the side. In that case... um!?"

Halfway through her sentence, Winette realized something was amiss—why was there a human on the street who could casually shatter an evil spirit?

Chapter 181 Is this considered an offline meetup?

While walking along the road, Qin Chuan was the one who cleansed away evil spirits—the blurry figure that Winette and Gabriel saw was his Stand, "Blackbird."

"Every morning after I leave the house, several new evil spirits appear on the street, almost like daily spawning monsters."

Qin Chuan stared speechlessly at the shattered evil spirit. These evil spirits would spawn almost every day on his way to school, which annoyed him to no end.

Unfortunately, even if the "Blackbird" devoured these evil spirits, it wouldn't gain anything; otherwise, these evil spirits would have been a stable source of power-ups.

"Speaking of which, this area seems to be where Gabriel's apartment is located... I used to pass by here every day, but I never imagined that an angel lived here."

Qin Chuan looked around—last night he had "Blackbird" go to Gabriel's room via the internet, and that's how he found out Gabriel's address.

Gabriel's apartment is actually on Qin Chuan's way to school, but Gabriel is not a student at the private Toyonosaki School, otherwise Qin Chuan would probably have noticed her by now.

Qin Chuan remembered that there was a high school on the other side of the town, but he couldn't quite recall the name of the high school. He only remembered that Akagi had once said that he wanted to have a joint activity with the school there.

Gabriel is probably from that school.

Come to think of it, if Gabriel were really a student at Toyonosaki Private School, there probably wouldn't be so many evil spirits in the school, and Yotsuya Miko probably wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.

After all, no matter how addicted Gabriel is to online games, she is still an angel with the power of an angel. She wouldn't let so many evil spirits run rampant in the school... right?

Thinking about this, Qin Chuan was really unsure. Considering that Gabrielle's room was a mess, she might not really care about those evil spirits wandering around.

"Excuse me, student in front, please wait a moment!"

Just as Qin Chuan was thinking about these random things and continued on his way, he suddenly heard a girl's shouts from behind.

Qin Chuan stopped and turned around, only to see that the person who had come was someone he knew—or rather, someone he had seen in a work before he transmigrated.

Appearing before Qin Chuan were Vinette and Gabriel, who was being pulled down by Vinette's hand.

Perhaps because Winette had hurriedly pulled her hand and dragged her down the street, Gabriel's already pale complexion worsened, turning extremely pale; she must have been exhausted.

"Is there a problem?"

Qin Chuan looked at Winette and Gabriel, somewhat surprised that they had called him over—after all, although he knew the two of them, they had never interacted before.

Although he secretly confirmed Gabriel's identity last night using "Blackbird," he made sure that Gabriel hadn't discovered "Blackbird."

Or did they see me casually cleaning up the evil spirits?

That's possible; perhaps they've never seen a human possess this ability before.

After all, this world is still primarily the everyday world, and these angels and demons probably don't know what a "Stand user" is.

"Uh……"

When Qin Chuan asked her that question, Winette suddenly realized that she had subconsciously called out to him because she saw him kill the evil spirit, and she didn't seem to know how to start the conversation.

Asking him directly whether he's an angel or a demon doesn't seem right either. Even if he is an angel or a demon, he wouldn't use that strange power to defeat evil spirits.

Although only a faint shadow could be seen, it was as if an invisible figure was throwing a punch at Qin Chuan from behind...

That can't be the power of an angel or a demon, right?

So when she rashly asked the other person if they were an angel or a demon, she immediately exposed her and Gabriel's identities.

Fortunately, just as Vinette froze for a moment, Gabriel, who had been dragged downstairs by her, suddenly realized something.

A look of realization dawned on her face, and then she pointed at Qin Chuan and said:

"Wait! The aura of that thing behind you...were you spying on me last night?!"

Previously, Gabriel was provoked by Vinette's words that "you may not be able to play online games in the future," which made her seriously consider the aura she sensed last night.

And now, the aura of the figure behind Qin Chuan is exactly the same as the one he felt yesterday.

If it were the Gabrielle of the past with her high emotional intelligence, she definitely wouldn't have shouted that out in the street in such a dramatic way.

But Gabriel is now as thick-skinned as a city wall and has no emotional intelligence whatsoever. After realizing this, she pointed it out directly to Qin Chuan.

Fortunately, there weren't many people on the road. Occasionally, a few office workers or students passing by would just glance at it curiously and then leave.

That's just how intense society is in Japan; most people are too lazy to care about other people's trivial matters, and taking care of themselves is already difficult enough.

"What!?"

Upon hearing Gabriel's accusation, Winette immediately tensed up. She raised her hands, like a mother hen protecting her chicks, and stood in front of Gabriel.

"what happened!?"

It seems that Winette probably considers Qin Chuan to be some kind of dangerous element—after all, "peeping" is not a compliment.

Qin Chuan glanced at Gabriel, surprised that she could still remember the "Blackbird's" aura. 060

However, what she said wasn't entirely wrong. Qin Chuan's actions last night could indeed be described as peeping—although it was only out of curiosity about what kind of person the "angel who saves lives" really was.

"Well... sort of, but we actually know each other."

Seeing that Gabriel had noticed him, Qin Chuan shrugged and said to Gabriel.

"Right? 'Angel of Salvation'?"

"Ah! You bastard, are you a 'kobold'?!"

Upon hearing her online game ID, Gabriel's eyes lit up, and she instantly guessed Qin Chuan's identity.

Since among her closest gaming friends, only "Doghead" was a male high school student, she naturally guessed it very quickly.

Although Qin Chuan and Gabriel seemed to become familiar with each other in an instant, Vinette, who was standing next to them, was completely confused.

What does this mean? What are these "angels who save lives" and "dog-headed men"? Are they some kind of strange code?

Why did these two people act like complete strangers just now, but suddenly seem like they've known each other for a long time after exchanging the "secret code"?

Did they even immediately forget about being spied on before? Are they really that close?

Vinette, who has never been interested in online games, naturally couldn't understand the sudden familiarity between the two online friends after meeting in person.

Chapter 182 The Unreliable Gabriel

"I see, so you met through playing games... The names you mentioned earlier were all online nicknames."

After some explanation, Winette understood Qin Chuan and Gabriel's situation.

No wonder Gabriel immediately looked like she'd met a fellow countrywoman when Qin Chuan mentioned that online name; it turns out her internet-addicted mindset kicked in.

For these addicted online gamers, online friends are like family and friends, especially Qin Chuan, who has been teaming up with Gabriel in the game for a long time, making them the closest of friends.

Many online banking patients are scammed offline by netizens because of this kind of cognitive habit—clearly, even Gabriel, an angel, has not been able to escape this phenomenon.

"Even if you've known each other online for a long time, spying is wrong... Wait! Why are you guys suddenly exchanging contact information!?"

Although she understood why Gabriel knew Qin Chuan, she still subconsciously wanted to give him a lecture, since Qin Chuan spying on Gabriel was obviously unacceptable.

However, when she looked at Gabriel and Qin Chuan, she found that the two of them had already taken out their phones and were exchanging contact information.

The two had primarily communicated through online games, and had never exchanged contact information offline.

This encounter gave Gabriel the opportunity to exchange contact information with Qin Chuan—thus transforming them from online friends into offline friends.

"Don't worry, Qin Chuan isn't a bad person. We've known each other online for a long time, he's definitely a good person."

Gabriel had an expression that suggested she knew Qin Chuan very well, which left Vinette speechless.

Gabriel is the one being spied on, so why is she the one who's anxious on the sidelines? Gabriel is so careless.

As for Gabrielle, she genuinely felt that Qin Chuan, as an online friend she had known for so long, couldn't be a bad person.

On the other hand, she also felt this was a good opportunity—a good opportunity to learn from Qin Chuan about his ways of making money.

After all, Qin Chuan had upgraded his equipment to an incredible level in just one day, which must have required a huge investment.

From being extremely stingy to becoming a highly upgraded player in a single day, Qin Chuan must have earned that much money in a very short time.

If she knew Qin Chuan's way of making money... why would she need to go to school? She wouldn't need any pocket money from the Heavenly Realm anymore; she could just stay home and play video games until she died!

Is your understanding really reliable...?

When Gabriel claimed that Qin Chuan was a good person, Winette expressed doubt—how could anyone know what kind of person he really was across the internet?

More importantly, she still hadn't figured out what the shadowy figure behind Qin Chuan was—that thing could shatter an evil spirit with a single punch.

It's neither the power of angels nor related to demons. Could it be that some new power has emerged among humans?

As a dutiful demon, Vinette felt it necessary to find out the truth behind the shadow behind Qin Chuan, and then decide whether to report it to Hell depending on the situation.

However, before Winette could ask Qin Chuan about the shadow behind him in detail, Gabriel's words stunned her:

"But ten minutes have already passed... Vigne, won't you be late for school?"

These words made Winette's question, which she was about to ask, suddenly get stuck in her throat, and her cheeks turned bright red.

Although she really wanted to find out the origin of the shadow behind Qin Chuan, Winette was a good student and she absolutely wouldn't allow anyone to be late.

After hesitating for a while, Winette weighed the options in her mind and realized that if she talked to Qin Chuan a little longer, she might really be late.

So, with a final grit of her teeth, she also took out her phone and said to Qin Chuan:

"Qin Chuan, right... Let's exchange contact information. I have a lot of things to ask you in detail later."

She recognized the school uniform Qin Chuan was wearing; it wasn't from Maiten High School, which she and Gabriel attended, but from Toyonosaki School, a private school located on the other side of town.

Therefore, it's unlikely that you can ask Qin Chuan for more details at school. You can only exchange contact information with him first and then find an opportunity to ask him slowly later.

Qin Chuan, of course, did not refuse and exchanged numbers with Winette.

This was the first contact information he received that wasn't exchanged entirely out of goodwill.

However, although Vinette is a demon, her personality is completely unlike that of a demon; rather, she is more like an angel. Therefore, even though she does not completely trust Qin Chuan, Vinette still behaves very appropriately.

She was only wary of Qin Chuan because she cared about her friend Gabriel.

"Alright, Gabriel, hurry up and pack your things, we're going to be late!"

After exchanging contact information with Qin Chuan, Winette quickly pulled Gabriel back to the apartment.

There wasn't much time left, so she had to hurry and get Vinette ready.

Although Gabriel had already washed up, her hair was still messy, she hadn't changed out of her school uniform, and hadn't taken her schoolbag, so it was impossible for her to go to school right now.

After watching Gabriel and Winette leave, Qin Chuan put away his phone and looked down at the pendant on his chest.

The arrow reacted the moment Vignette and Gabriel appeared, pointing straight at them.

However, Qin Chuan reacted quickly, allowing "Blackbird" to press down the arrow, thus preventing it from emerging from the collar in front of Gabriel and Winette.

"Do both of them have the qualifications to become Stand users? Does angel and demon have some advantage in this regard?"

Qin Chuan pondered—she thought of Gabriel and Vinette's other two friends, Raphael and Satania, who were both angels and demons.

It seems I can visit their high school later; maybe those two also have stunt double qualifications.

Qin Chuan could roughly guess why Gabrielle added his contact information.

Besides being a netizen, she probably also wants to know how I make money—after all, she asks me about this almost every day on the online gaming platform.

However, Qin Chuan did not plan to help her awaken her substitute immediately. The easier something is to obtain, the less it will be cherished.

The idea is to make Gabriel ask her questions every day until she can't take it anymore, and then tell her about Stand users and the possibility of making money, so that she will feel that it is hard-won.

Of course, Qin Chuan doesn't need Gabriel to join the underworld—after all, it's all about making money. Now that he has the Shinomiya Group backing him, money is the last thing Qin Chuan lacks.

If Gabriel can satisfy him, supporting her for the rest of his life is not a problem for Qin Chuan.

Chapter 183 Eriri's Deadline for Writing

"I heard that Qin Chuan from Class B left school yesterday with a girl from Shuchiin Academy."

“I heard about it too, and it’s said that the girl from Shuchiwon University waited for him at the school gate.”

"What a pity... I think Qin Chuan is quite handsome, it seems there's no hope for him..."

"Not necessarily. Although that girl from Xiuzhiyuan met with Qin Chuan, maybe they're not in that kind of relationship. Why not give it a try?"
