I am recycling settings in the anime

Fang Yi's words made Iwanaga Kotoko nod her head involuntarily. Although she teased her boyfriend, Kotoko was very clear that those monsters were undoubtedly more troublesome than those she had dealt with herself.

Although, there are benefits to recovering archive files that have been devoured by monsters.

That is... every time the archives recycles archival files, she can randomly obtain a "setting" from the recycled files and attach it to herself. Even a small clerk in the archives like her who is just busy with combat records can get it.

Although, you can always get some weird "settings"!

"File recovery complete, start selecting a 'setting', the owner successfully obtained the 'Dark Cuisine' setting."

"puff------------------!"

Iwanaga Kotoko's expression suddenly became very interesting, and she looked as if she wanted to laugh but had to hold it back.

It's clearly a place with perfect cooking, but suddenly there's an additional "dark cuisine" setting. This is simply...

"Kotoko, didn't you just say you wanted to eat the breakfast I made for you this morning filled with love? Now I'll fulfill your wish. Come and experience your boyfriend's endless love for you! Don't worry, you'll eat until you're full!"

Kotoko Iwanaga's eyes suddenly widened and her head shook wildly like a rattle.

Master! I can't bear the weight of your love!

That’s right, people who get full marks for cooking have an additional “dark cuisine” setting, which is simply…

It’s so torturous for the people around me!

Chapter 4 Iwanaga Kotoko: Master, do you have any misunderstanding about the word love?

It can be said that Iwanaga Kotoko risked her life to prevent Fang Yi from entering the kitchen and ruining the dishes.

Fortunately, according to Fang Yi, this "dark cuisine" setting does not mean that you can only make dark cuisine, but you can make it if you simply think about it. This made Qinzi feel relieved. She was still looking forward to eating the loving bento that Fang Yi made for her. If the loving bento that Fang Yi made for her in the future were all dark cuisine, she would have to think about whether she should eat it.

I'm afraid that after tasting this loving lunch box, I will have to go to see Yama on the other side.

However, Fang Yi also wanted to complain about this "dark cuisine" setting. I can make this without you telling me!

Dark cuisine! Just cook it randomly! But after Fang Yi tried it himself, he couldn't help but complain...

Well! I guess I can't make it by just blindly trying! Have you ever seen anyone's dark cuisine as evil as this world?

This made Fang Yi unable to help but complain. What kind of people were those evil spirits eaten by those monsters in their previous lives?

Iwanaga Kotoko silently threw the food that Fang Yi had just used for the experiment into the garbage bag to prevent her owner from giving it to her to eat again, and to prevent the monsters around her from eating it out of curiosity and dying of poisoning the next day!

Looking at the garbage bag that seemed to be corroded, Qinzi's expression was very interesting.

Being able to cook like this requires talent!

Glancing at the corners of her house, she could see her own monsters looking at the garbage bag in her hand with fear on their faces.

Can the "dark cuisine" that even monsters fear be normal "dark cuisine"?

"What's wrong? Kotoko, aren't you complaining about not having any love dishes this morning?"

Looking at Qinzi's frightened expression, Fang Yi teased her, which earned him a series of eye rolls from Qinzi.

You call this the cuisine of love? Owner, do you have any misunderstandings about the word love?

She felt that if she ate this dish, she might not wake up the next day!

No... I guess this is the end of my life!

After taking in Iwanaga Kotoko's expression, Fang Yi no longer had the idea of ​​teasing this girl.

"We should probably take a break now. Based on our previous pattern of finding 'predators,' we probably won't find the next one so quickly... But regarding the clues, I'll have to trouble the youkai around you, Kotoko."

Fang Yi has been searching for traces of the "Predator" because many archival files are still missing from Fang Yi's world archives and have not been retrieved. To be honest, when Fang Yi first learned that this world had so many bugs, he couldn't help but complain. How on earth does this world run? Can a game full of bugs still run?

However, judging from the fact that I have survived in this world for more than a month, the world should still be very solid.

And every time Fang Yi finds a "predator", it usually takes some time to find the next one.

The last time Fang Yi encountered a "predator" was a week ago!

It can only be said that these guys are indeed extremely secretive in modern society. The operation of preying on "settings" is actually very BUG. Once some "settings" of certain people or even the entire person are completely preyed upon, all traces of the preyed object in this world will completely disappear. At first, Fang Yi thought that this might cause a huge BUG in the world, but in fact, the solidity of the world can be said to be beyond imagination, and it will find a way to round up this BUG.

However, this BUG does not exist, but will continue to accumulate there. It’s just that people inside the world cannot realize this BUG until Fang Yi retrieves the "setting" and puts the "setting" back to the original archive.

And the worst thing is——

"Aside from us and those who interact with us, anyone else who comes into contact with a Predator will automatically forget about it once they're separated. It's as if this world is telling us that Predators aren't even native to this world... This trait is a natural way for them to hide. However, because of this, the only way to find them, besides us going out in person, is to rely on the monsters around me to gather intelligence."

While eating breakfast, Iwanaga Kotoko was analyzing the same thing.

"How about I ask those big monsters or Onmyoji families for help?"

Although she didn't receive as much respect in this regard as the other youkai around her, it was at least her own network.

Looking at Iwanaga Kotoko's serious expression, Fang Yi sighed and slowly stretched out his hand.

"I don't want you to ask them for help. Don't forget, although you are the God of Wisdom among the monsters, the attitude of the big monsters towards you is still quite delicate, not to mention the Onmyoji... Moreover, if you let people or monsters who don't understand their tricky situation interfere in this matter, it will only end up implicating innocent people, just like that girl who got involved in this matter without any carefulness. She is also the God of Wisdom among the monsters..."

"The God of Wisdom has no power and is no different from a mortal!"

Fang Yi held a grain of rice in his hand, and his helpless look made Iwanaga Kotoko's face filled with joy.

Especially the last words that came out of Fang Yi's mouth, which were low but full of concern.

"Don't leave my sight casually, understand?"

"Of course I know, but I also trust my master... Is that enough?"

"I'm glad you trust me, but please pay more attention to me!"

The monsters in the shadows watched the scene of their Royal Highness the Princess and Lord Fang Yi showing their affection, and watched the breakfast that their Royal Highness the Princess prepared for them. For some reason, they suddenly felt as if their stomachs were very full.

The corners of Iwanaga Kotoko's mouth curled up slightly, and while eating breakfast, she silently narrowed the distance between herself and Fang Yi.

If she just moved slightly to the side, Qinzi would probably be able to snuggle directly into Fang Yi's arms.

"Oh right, Kotoko, when I was putting the documents back into the archives, I realized that what that guy ate were basically evil spirits and vengeful spirits. It's not surprising that the obsession and malice of these things have accumulated to the level of a great monster, but..."

"When did the number of evil spirits and vengeful ghosts in this city become so large?"

Fang Yi's eyes gradually became sharper. Although he also had a part-time job as a door-to-door service provider, but -

In fact, Fang Yi is not a person who likes to go out, otherwise he would not order takeout every day.

Before he traveled through time, he was just a otaku, a true otaku. It's not that he was afraid of the spotlight, but he simply didn't like going out.

Even after crossing over, he was only "forced" to go out in order to solve the problem of the "Predator".

And now, with Qinzi's help, those monsters basically helped Fang Yi solve the intelligence problem.

Things have come to this point, and there is basically no need for Fang Yi to go out.

Therefore, Fang Yi really didn’t know much about what was happening in this city.

What's more, Fang Yi only knows about his own little area, and the information he has is definitely not as much as Qinzi, who is a fan of all the monsters. For such matters, Fang Yi basically asks Qinzi.

In Fang Yi's impression, he had also cleared out a lot of resentful spirits and evil spirits, so why are there still so many?

Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko nodded slightly, with a gloomy look between her brows.

"I'm not entirely sure. The number of evil spirits and vengeful spirits in Tokyo has inexplicably increased recently. I've heard the youkai mention this as well. While it hasn't affected their daily lives, they're still wary. After all, if the numbers get out of control, it could be very troublesome! So the youkai themselves are a bit uneasy about this, too."

"What about other cities? Do you have any information about them?"

"Hmm... I haven't heard any unusual news here. How about I find a chance to ask the monsters in other cities?"

As if she noticed what Fang Yi was concerned about, Iwanaga Kotoko stopped what she was saying.

"Does the owner think that there is something fishy about this matter?"

"When something is out of the ordinary, there must be something fishy going on. Anyway, just keep it in mind and pay more attention."

Fang Yi didn't want to care about these things. After all, the "Predator" thing was already a headache, but...

This is too abnormal! Evil spirits and vengeful spirits are on the rise, the monster situation has become somewhat unstable, and even the "predators" seem to be decreasing. However, not many files have been recovered from Fang Yi's archives, and there are still quite a lot of missing parts. But in this case, where did those "predators" who were "preying" on the files go?

Other cities? But... Qinzi hadn't heard any unusual news from other cities.

Suddenly, Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes lit up, as if she had thought of something important.

"Speaking of vengeful spirits and evil spirits, I know a very interesting person here."

"Master, are you interested in getting in touch?"

"If it's her, maybe she can help with this matter!"

Chapter 5: It’s not your fault that you are ugly, but it’s your problem if you are ugly and still scare people!

"Can you see it?"

"Can you see me?"

"Can you see?"

At the bus stop at the corner, a huge and extremely bloated figure made a horrifying sound, as if questioning the girl in front of him, and his body continued to emit a black and twisted aura.

However, the female student in front of her, wearing JK and with long straight black hair, just glanced to the side with an indifferent expression. She looked so calm that it seemed as if she really didn't see the bloated and terrifying figure in front of her.

All that came out of her mouth was her lament about how slow the bus was at that moment.

"...Ah...the bus is really slow...hasn't it arrived yet?"

Very peaceful, very peaceful...that's good!

The girl named Yotsuya Miko kept shouting this in her heart, her hands behind her back tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, trembling slightly.

Cold sweat even began to flow down her forehead. Although the surroundings were still very cool, her back... was already soaked with sweat.

It was obvious that her heart was not as calm as she had imagined.

Can't see? How is that possible? She saw everything clearly from beginning to end! She could even describe the other person's appearance!

After all, this guy almost put his face close to hers, and she could even count the wrinkles on his face clearly, and this guy still persevered and continued to stretch his head over.

The distance between the terrifying and twisted face and himself was almost ignorable. The black, empty eyes stared at him intently, and an invisible pressure enveloped him.

"Can you see?"

Faced with this situation, she felt like tears were about to well up in her eyes uncontrollably, and her legs subconsciously closed.

To be honest, she felt her legs were starting to go weak.

But...but now you absolutely cannot reveal any questions, nor can you answer the other party's words.

Although she didn't know what would happen if the answer could be seen, but...

How could a normal person dare to try it!

What's more, her intuition told her that if she said directly that she could see the other person, she would definitely die.

Taking a deep breath, she tried to distract herself while pulling her phone from her pocket.

"Ah! That's right! Xiaohua just contacted me, and I haven't replied yet!"

As she said this, she pretended not to see the other person, lowered her head to look at her phone, and her stiff cheeks twitched slightly.

One hand was operating the phone in her hand, although she didn't know what to press. But she knew that she must not look up now. If she saw the other person's terrifying face so close to her again, she was worried that she would not be able to bear it and would have a mental breakdown. There was no other way. This situation was too challenging for a normal person.

The monster's questioning voice kept ringing in her ears, and that terrifying face kept approaching her... The double torture of hearing and vision, how was this different from the devil? She felt that her brain and nerves were about to explode.

Sweat flowed down her cheeks, and the girl's other arm, which had nowhere to go, was still tightly grasping the hem of her skirt.

However, in this high-pressure environment, if no one intervenes, the pressure and fear will only continue to rise with the passage of time. If the bus the girl is waiting for does not arrive, it is estimated that...

She'll probably have a nervous breakdown soon! But it's a relief that she's managed to hold on until now!

If it were someone else, they would probably scream the moment they saw this monster.

Fortunately, this monster is not brainless and keeps scare Yotsuya Miko here.

For these evil spirits, they will only eat those who can see them.

The main thing is that if the other party can't see them, they really can't touch each other!

——This is the rule of this world!

Although Yotsuya Miko can indeed see them, as long as she pretends not to see them or does not respond to them, they will not be able to touch Yotsuya Miko. This is the boundary between the living and the dead in this world.

But the moment the living and the dead begin to interact, this boundary will immediately become blurred or even disappear.

This means that the dead can come into contact with the living and even take away the vitality of the living to strengthen themselves.
