At least in her memory, there was none.

"Is that so?"

Yin Kong nodded thoughtfully.

The situation of Yotsuya Miko in front of us is actually quite different from that of Higurashi Kagome.

Kagome Higurashi is not the "sacrifice" mentioned by the "Cardcaptor Sakura"; what this girl has awakened is powerful spiritual energy, and her ability to see demons is merely a bonus.

After mastering the Demon-Slaying Arrow, eliminating ordinary demons of level 20 or 30 was a piece of cake for Kagome Higurashi.

Considering that the girl's past life was the most powerful priestess of that era, and that she will also raise [Ruoshui] to the maximum level and full essence in the future, Yin Kong felt that she may have already reached the human limit of level 90.

If all so-called "human beings" are of this caliber, then let alone the mere "Hundred-Faced Witch," even "Kurabane Onimaru" would have been crushed countless times over.

In comparison, Yotsuya Miko is clearly much more "normal".

Yin Kong did not sense any powerful force from her body, and in terms of physique, she was even inferior to her friend, Baihe Chuanhua.

If Yin Kong is not mistaken, this Yurikawa Hana should be like Director Ochiai, someone who once defeated demons in a mental battle.

Yotsuya Miko can see demons, but that's all she can do; her awakening hasn't given her the power to fight them.

On the contrary, her flesh and blood are very beneficial to demons, gradually repairing their mental defects, but it only works on demons. It's like a tailor-made special medicine, which is why the "Ever-Changing Witch" calls such a person a "sacrifice".

"Mr. Yin Kong, do you know about this?"

Yotsuya Miko looked at Yoshikawa, and her body involuntarily leaned forward slightly.

Although she has gradually gotten used to her current life, she still hopes that one day she can figure out the source of this change.

"Unfortunately, I am also investigating the origins of these monsters."

Just as Yotsuya Miko was disappointed, Yoon Sora added:

"However, I can offer some advice regarding your situation."

Yotsuya Miko's eyes lit up immediately. As long as she could be freed from such painful days, what did it matter if she didn't understand the secret at all?

"Could it be that it's related to the gods?"

After all, the girl still vividly remembered how that terrifying monster was instantly reduced to ashes in front of the statue.

However, what's a bit strange is that the well-known gods and Buddhas didn't respond to her prayers at all, but this foreign deity she had never heard of before actually performed a miracle.

"It can't be said that they are completely unrelated." Yin Kong smiled slightly and asked, "I wonder if Miss Yotsuya has heard this saying: Only a stronger monster can eliminate a monster."

Yotsuya Miko was initially captivated by Yoon Sora's warm smile, but it wasn't until three seconds later that she slowly realized what he really meant by those words.

Only a stronger ghost can destroy ghosts?

Does this mean she should seek help from a more powerful ghost?

Wait! An even more powerful ghost?

Yotsuya Miko suddenly shivered, and an incredibly terrifying possibility immediately and uncontrollably leaped into her mind.

After seeing the statues drive away monsters and destroy ghosts, she subconsciously regarded them as gods who save people from suffering.

But what if—and I mean just what—this foreign deity she thought she knew wasn't actually a god, but rather a more powerful monster?

Wouldn't her current actions be like walking into a trap, leaving her with no way to escape?

Almost instantly, Yotsuya Miko felt her hands and feet turn ice-cold, and even the smile on Yin Kong's face turned sinister and cunning.

Just then, Yin Kong spoke up again:

"By the way, my friend is right behind you right now, would you like to say hello to her?"

Behind me?

Miko Yotsuya's heart sank instantly. She turned her head with difficulty and saw a monstrous monster, its body radiating black energy and its face contorted in a hideous grimace, opening its gaping, black mouth and laughing at her.

"As expected, you've already seen me!"

∑(っ°Д °)っ

Yotsuya Miko's expression froze completely, then her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed limply to the ground.

Watching the [Barbatos Baby Form] quickly revert back to normal, then float in the air with an air of nonchalance, licking its paws with an easy expression, Yin Kong scratched his head.

He hadn't expected that the little guy would suddenly transform into a ghost to scare Yotsuya Miko.

Moreover, the results are outstanding.

As expected of a cat, and it's even called "Barbatos Juvenile Form"?

In just a few days, she has completely lost her original "refined lady" demeanor and has become mischievous.

Fortunately, this little guy hasn't learned to say "hehe" yet, or even just say "the cat doesn't know."

Otherwise, given her illusion magic, Yin Kong always felt that this guy would definitely be able to do something big in the future.

"But, should we pretend to be unconscious?"

Seeing Yotsuya Miko lying motionless on the ground, seemingly having completely lost consciousness, Yin Kong raised an eyebrow and quickly realized that the girl was actually faking unconsciousness.

After all, if someone can endure this for so long, how could they possibly faint just because a ghost suddenly appears in their face?

However, if you are actually exposed, pretending to be unconscious is actually useless.

Of course, at this moment, Yotsuya Miko couldn't think of any other way. She was just like those ostriches burying their heads in the sand, hoping to get through the current crisis in this way.

Chapter 192 Discount

"Miss Yotsuya? Miss Yotsuya?"

Naturally, it is very difficult to wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep.

“You really don’t need to do this. For me, this level of pretense is actually of no use.”

Yotsuya Miko's eyelids twitched involuntarily twice, but her body remained motionless and unresponsive, as if this would ensure that she would not be disturbed.

Yin Kong sighed helplessly, then changed the subject:

"Never mind, there's another young girl outside anyway, let her come in too—"

The girl finally sat up abruptly and shouted excitedly.

Then, she saw Yin Kong, who was resting his chin on his hand and looking at her with great interest, and the very cute cat squatting next to him, wagging its tail happily.

Seeing the girl's blank expression, Yin Kong patted the little guy's head and introduced him:

"This is the [Childhood Barbatos], a master of illusion magic, as you have already experienced."

Yotsuya Miko froze for a moment, then almost slumped back in her chair, protesting weakly:

"Mr. Yin Kong, aren't you afraid of scaring someone to death?"

Although her subsequent unconsciousness was indeed feigned, she was genuinely terrified and her heart stopped for several seconds when she turned around and saw the ghost.

Yin Kong smiled slightly and said:

"I believe in Ms. Yotsuya's mental fortitude. If you had broken down like this, you probably wouldn't have lasted this long."

Yotsuya Miko admitted that Yoruichi's words made a lot of sense, but she still pursed her lips and asked in a low voice:

"So, Mr. Yin Kong, what exactly is your plan?"

After being startled by the magical cat, the girl's initial restraint vanished almost instantly.

Yin Kong thought for a moment and said:

"Actually, I have two solutions."

Hearing that there was more than one solution, Yotsuya Miko's initial resentment completely vanished, and she listened attentively to Yoon Sora's advice.

"The first method is a permanent solution. We can sign a contract, and you will trade this special ability to me..."

Yin Kong himself certainly doesn't need such an ability, but that doesn't mean others don't.

For example, if Inuyasha possessed such an ability, he wouldn't be as passive as before when facing enemies like Yura with the Reverse Hair, and wouldn't need Kagome Higurashi to remind him to fight.

Of course, if Inuyasha doesn't need it, finding an opportunity to "open Conan's eyes" seems like a pretty good option.

Contract? Transaction?

Yotsuya Miko was very surprised:

"They can even trade their own abilities?"

Yin Kong nodded slightly and explained:

"While those extremely powerful abilities might involve numerous complexities and make transactions difficult, your ability is far from reaching that level. You may not know, but the Rock King Emperor is the God of Contracts and Wealth..."

The god of contracts and wealth?

Yotsuya Miko silently memorized this sentence, then asked curiously:

"So, Mr. Yin Kong, what do you intend to offer in exchange for my abilities?"

Could it be some other superpower?

Looking at the magical cat floating freely in the air beside Yin Kong, Yotsuya Miko's eyes were filled with envy.

Wouldn't it be amazing to have the ability to transform into all sorts of wondrous shapes at will, just like this magical cat?

“I think it mainly depends on what you need, Miss Yotsuya.” Yin Kong looked at the excited Yotsuya Miko and explained, “If you want money, I’m willing to pay two million yen to buy your ability.”

Two million yen?

Yotsuya Miko was stunned. She never expected that Yin Kong would help her solve her problems without paying any price, and instead she would receive a large sum of money.

Although two million yen is nothing to Yin Kong now, it is an extremely extravagant price for a high school girl like her.

"Of course, if Miss Yotsuya thinks the yen is too tacky, she can exchange it for a talisman specially made by our Kotsuneya."

As he spoke, Yin Kong also took out an imperial coin.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, this Miss Yotsuya Miko has a good chance of becoming Iwao-sama's first truly devout follower in this Detective Conan world.

Sending her an imperial coin wouldn't be a problem.

Seeing the gold coins that Yin Kong took out, Yotsuya Miko was naturally very interested.

After all, this boss Yin Kong had already demonstrated several incredible abilities to her, so the talisman he took out must be something extraordinary.

However, although she longed to get rid of this tormenting ability immediately, the girl hesitated when such an opportunity was actually presented to her.

After hesitating for a moment, she immediately asked:

"What about the second method?"

Yin Kong raised an eyebrow slightly, but continued:

"As for the second one, it's not complicated either. You just need to find a way to block out these images and sounds that you don't want to see, since they have no impact on your life anyway."

Yotsuya Miko isn't like Yoko; she needs to eliminate these monsters to obtain Mora experience and other resources.

Eliminating all the demons in the world or creating new safe zones is no easy task, but simply changing her perception would be far simpler.

"I can use the little guy's power to make you a pair of glasses. Once you put them on, they will automatically block out those abnormal images and sounds. And when you miss the scenery you see now, you can simply take the glasses off..."

Yotsuya Miko understood that this method was indeed not as thorough as the first one.

After all, glasses sometimes need to be taken off or may get damaged, which is undoubtedly a potential hazard.

However, it also makes her more flexible; when she wants to see a specific spirit, she only needs to take off her glasses.

“But with this method, Miss Yotsuya won’t be able to get those items. Not only that, she’ll also have to pay me a commission fee.”

Yotsuya Miko paused for a moment, then asked somewhat nervously:

"Mr. Yin Kong, how much exactly is the commission fee?"

Yin Kong smiled and said:

"Not much, just two million yen."

Two million yen?!

Yotsuya Miko was already mentally prepared, but she was still shocked when she heard the price.

However, when she thought of the Rock King Emperor statue that Aoyama Nanami had mentioned, which was worth 1 billion, she felt that the price was actually very reasonable.

But no matter how reasonable it was, poor Miss Miko simply couldn't afford it!
