"Let's try it."
Yotsuya Miko bit her lip lightly, found Lin Bai's email address, composed a message, and sent it.
Ding ding ding~~~
On his way home, Lin Bai noticed his phone ping, pulled it out, and saw it was Yotsuya Miko.
"The fish finally took the bait."
A predictable, pleased smile curved his lips.
He had temporarily posed as a 'supernatural story enthusiast' earlier precisely to bait Yotsuya Miko.
He clicked on her message.
Yotsuya Miko: "Good evening, Lin-tongxue, I have some questions I'd like to ask you. Are you available?"
Lin Bai: "Go ahead."
"…"
With her eyes reflecting the phone screen, Yotsuya Miko hesitated for a moment, then began typing her reply.
: "Lin-tongxue, do you know about my situation?"
Lin Bai's lips curved slightly: "Know what about your situation?"
The conversation looked like it was between two riddle-keepers.
Looking at Lin Bai's reply, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but bite her lip gently, feeling like he was deliberately teasing her.
But now she needed his help.
So she could only suppress that little bit of helplessness in her heart.
Yotsuya Miko: "Can you see ghosts?"
Lin Bai: "Are you referring to evil spirits?"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes moved: "Exactly, can you see them?"
Expectation involuntarily appeared in her eyes.
If Lin Bai could also see them, she would have a 'companion'.
They say there's strength in numbers, and perhaps they could find a solution.
She no longer wanted to be woken up by nightmares in the middle of the night, and she no longer wanted to experience the feeling of being scared by various evil spirits.
Lin Bai: "I can indeed see them."
"He really can see them!"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened slightly, a mix of surprise and joy in her heart.
During their encounter that afternoon, Lin Bai had indeed realized that she could also see evil spirits, which was why he said those things.
After confirming that Lin Bai was her 'companion', various questions popped into Yotsuya Miko's mind.
So she quickly typed her inquiries:
"Why can you see evil spirits? Is it innate?"
"Do you have any way to make people unable to see evil spirits?"
"Or is there any way to keep evil spirits from approaching you?"
"Since there are evil spirits, are there really beings that can deal with them, like exorcists?"
She sent a barrage of questions.
In response, Lin Bai seemed to sense Yotsuya Miko's urgency, smiled slightly, and began to reply to her.
"I know you're in a hurry, Yotsuya-tongxue, but don't rush yet."
Yotsuya Miko: "…"
Lin Bai: "Since you have so many questions, let's discuss them when we meet tomorrow."
Yotsuya Miko: "???"
No, you've piqued my interest now, but suddenly you're telling me today isn't convenient?
Before she could reply.
Lin Bai's new email message had already popped up.
Lin Bai: "It's settled then. See you tomorrow at noon at school, at the Student Council office. Good night."
Yotsuya Miko: "…"
Who said it was settled with you?
I haven't said anything yet!
However, since she was asking for help, she couldn't say much.
Yotsuya Miko: "Okay, see you tomorrow at noon at the Student Council."
Putting down her phone, she tightened the blanket wrapped around her, closed her eyes, and thought silently:
"The meeting place is the Student Council office, so is Lin Bai actually a member of the Student Council?"
She only knew before that Lin Bai was from the same school as her.
She didn't know anything else.
Now her understanding of Lin Bai had undoubtedly increased.
With various thoughts swirling in her mind, sleepiness unknowingly crept over her, and Yotsuya Miko gradually drifted into dreamland.
Evil spirits wandered the streets.
Yet, not a single evil spirit entered a populated residence.
It was as if an invisible barrier prevented them... Night passed in an instant.
A ray of morning light broke through the darkness, gradually illuminating the world.
Today's weather should be good.
??: I woke up with a splitting headache;
I think maybe I went to bed too late last night;
Last night, I buried my face in the pillow... The phone under the pillow played music, and Lin Bai slowly opened his eyes, reaching out to turn off the alarm.
"Mm-hmm~~~"
He got up and stretched, letting out a comfortable hum. Lin Bai pulled up the blinds and opened the window.
Sunlight streamed into the room from the balcony.
Looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Lin Bai gently curved his lips, then turned to grab his clothes and head towards the bathroom.
After a simple wash, he soaked in a warm bath for ten minutes.
The warm water soaking his body gave him a feeling of coming alive.
After the bath, he changed into the Private Tougou Academy student uniform.
A black shirt, a white double-breasted suit jacket.
Paired with a blue tie and tie clip.
The bottom was matching white trousers and brown leather shoes.
The female uniform came with a ribbon.
The bottom was a double-layered ruffle pleated skirt, black on the inside and white on the outside.
After Lin Bai put on his shirt and trousers, he wasn't in a hurry to put on his jacket.
Instead, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.
The time came to 7:40.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Lin Bai, fully dressed, put the textbooks he would need today into his backpack and left for school.
Logically, he was now immortal and ageless, comparable to a god.
There was no need for him to go to school at all.
Lin Bai's reason for going to school was simple.
To see his wives and, while he was at it, open the encyclopedia of everything.
In the worldview he currently knew, most of the female leads were at school; where else would he go if not school?
Although there were many demons and monsters in the comprehensive anime world, none that could harm him had appeared yet.
Safety was not a concern.
Naturally, he didn't need to spend all day thinking about how to become stronger.
In this vast comprehensive anime world, where the surface was dominated by everyday life, enjoying life was the best choice.
Moreover, interacting with already lit encyclopedia of everything entries that were friendly would allow him to collect more encyclopedia of everything points.
Reaching the required points would grant him rewards.
The rewards were currently unknown.
The collection progress for encyclopedia of everything points was currently ten percent.
To obtain rewards, it would still take some time to accumulate.
Lighting up friendly encyclopedia of everything entries would continuously grant encyclopedia of everything points.
If various interactions occurred with encyclopedia of everything subjects, the number of encyclopedia of everything points obtained could be increased.
No matter the reason, even if it was just for his 'wives,' school was a must.
He was just lusting after their bodies.
Honest, commendable.
8:10 AM.
Lin Bai arrived at Private Tougou Academy, located in Bunkyo Ward.
At this time, almost everyone around him wore the same uniform.
Many people involuntarily cast their gaze towards Lin Bai.
Some girls' eyes sparkled with little stars, looking infatuated.
Ignoring the gazes of those around him, Lin Bai walked into the school gate with a calm expression and a smile on his lips.
Even though he had tried his best to restrain his extraordinary qualities, he still appeared incredibly dazzling in the eyes of ordinary people.
Like a crane among chickens.
Arriving at the shoe cabinet on the first floor to change into indoor slippers, Lin Bai walked up to the second floor, heading to the Class C, First Year classroom.
The moment he walked into the classroom, the students' chatter quickly died down, and they became quiet.
They all looked towards Lin Bai.
Seeing him, who seemed like a changed person, their astonishment was almost entirely visible on their faces.
In response, Lin Bai's expression remained unchanged.
He walked directly to his seat, where the king's homeland sat.
The encyclopedia of everything sent a notification; just now, it had instantly collected multiple new encyclopedia of everything entries awaiting activation...
