Suppressing the disappointment in her heart.
Yotsuya Miko looked at Lin Bai and asked with a hint of expectation:
"Um, how do you manage to remain expressionless in front of Evil Spirits? Aren't you afraid?"
"That's paid content, you know."
Lin Bai gave a mischievous smile at Yotsuya Miko's curiosity.
"Ah! Paid?"
Yotsuya Miko was taken aback.
Then she frowned slightly, with a somewhat cautious feeling:
"Um, how much?"
Seeing Yotsuya Miko take him seriously, the curve of Lin Bai's lips deepened a bit, and his eyes were full of amusement.
"It's not expensive, one hundred million yen."
"How much?!"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened slightly.
One hundred million yen, and that's not expensive!
Even if she sold herself, she couldn't come up with that much money.
"Hehe o(*￣︶￣*)o."
Looking at Yotsuya Miko's somewhat dumbfounded expression, Lin Bai couldn't help but laugh out loud, his smile full of joy.
"Wait, you…"
Hearing the laughter and seeing Lin Bai's expression, Yotsuya Miko finally realized, belatedly.
She had been tricked!
She was instantly speechless and helpless.
Lin Bai then said with a smile:
"I was just kidding. The actual price isn't expensive at all; just treat me to a bubble tea."
"How about it, pretty down-to-earth, right?"
Upon hearing this, Yotsuya Miko immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I agree. Tell me quickly."
Lin Bai was able to completely ignore Evil Spirits within a few days, without any fear at all.
There must be a reason for it.
If she could know it, perhaps she could also face Evil Spirits without fear, calmly and composedly.
"It's a deal."
Lin Bai said with a smile: "It's actually very simple: just possess the strength not to be afraid of Evil Spirits."
"Ah (⊙_⊙)?"
Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko was stunned.
As long as I have the strength not to be afraid of Evil Spirits, that's enough.
That statement was as good as saying nothing at all.
"Wait!"
After a moment of stunned silence, she suddenly realized the key point.
So, Lin Bai isn't afraid of Evil Spirits because he has the strength not to be afraid of Evil Spirits?
Could it be... Thinking of a certain possibility, she frowned slightly, a hint of surprise and uncertainty appearing in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask:
"Who exactly are you?"
An existence capable of dealing with Evil Spirits.
Like an Exorcist?
But Lin Bai said earlier that he had never seen an Exorcist.
So she was very curious about Lin Bai's identity.
If Lin Bai could really deal with Evil Spirits, then could she ask him for help?
"Are you very curious?"
Lin Bai raised an eyebrow and smiled lightly.
Yotsuya Miko: "..."
Looking at Lin Bai's somewhat cheeky smile, although she wanted to say she wasn't curious, she still held back the impulse.
"I'm very curious."
She still spoke her true thoughts.
Although she said she was very curious, the expression on her face didn't show overly obvious exaggerated changes.
Because of her personality.
Lin Bai saw Yotsuya Miko's expression and smiled slightly.
He had some understanding of her.
Her expression was mostly close to expressionless, calm and rational.
It was precisely because of this personality.
That when she first encountered an Evil Spirit, she could maintain outward calm, thus avoiding danger.
Outwardly as steady as Mount Tai,
Inwardly panicking like crazy.
This phrase perfectly describes Yotsuya Miko.
Although it felt a bit inappropriate.
Lin Bai actually really wanted to see Yotsuya Miko's cute expression when she was scared to tears by an Evil Spirit.
Unfortunately, he couldn't see it now.
Because there were no Evil Spirits in the school.
When he arrived at the school gate in the morning, Lin Bai quietly released his perception to cover the campus of Private Tougou Academy.
However, to his surprise, he didn't find any Evil Spirits.
And in the mieruko-chan worldview, Evil Spirits could almost be described as ubiquitous.
As expected, it was because of the integrated anime world.
The fusion of multiple worlds led to the number of Evil Spirits being far less than in the original world, and some unknown changes occurred.
When he was targeted by the Clawed Evil Spirit before, he noticed that it couldn't enter his residence.
As if some invisible rule was restricting the Evil Spirits.
Moreover, in the original worldview, ordinary people couldn't see or perceive Evil Spirits, but Evil Spirits could touch humans.
But not here.
If an Evil Spirit couldn't discover that the other party could see it, it couldn't even touch a human body.
Just like the Clawed Evil Spirit passed directly through Lin Bai's body before.
Multiple thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lin Bai, facing Yotsuya Miko's slightly curious gaze, smiled and said:
"Me? You can just think of me as a superpower user."
"Superpower user!?"
A strange look flashed in Yotsuya Miko's eyes.
She was surprised that Lin Bai's true identity was a superpower user.
However, she thought that being able to see Evil Spirits that others couldn't should also count as a superpower.
If that's the case, am I also a superpower user?
She couldn't help but think of this.
After a brief silence, Yotsuya Miko spoke again, asking:
"So Lin-tongxue, your superpower is being able to see Evil Spirits, and it has other uses too."
"Like exorcism?"
Lin Bai had previously admitted that he could also see Evil Spirits.
As for whether he could exorcise, she remained skeptical for now.
"You could say that."
Lin Bai smiled and nodded.
"Can you really exorcise?"
Yotsuya Miko frowned slightly.
After all, she hadn't confirmed it with her own eyes, so she didn't dare to believe it easily.
And Evil Spirits were so terrifying.
If the exorcism failed, the consequences were too dreadful to even imagine.
"Of course."
Lin Bai nodded.
Then the corners of his mouth curved into an arc, and he said with a meaningful smile:
"Yotsuya Miko-tongxue, you probably don't want to live this kind of fearful life anymore, do you?"
"What do you mean?"
Hearing Lin Bai suddenly say this, Yotsuya Miko couldn't help but frown slightly, instinctively becoming vigilant.
Why did that sound so strange?
Lin Bai continued with a smile:
"Yotsuya-tongxue, do you want to overcome your fear of Evil Spirits?"
"Do you want to escape this helpless predicament?"
"Finally, Yotsuya Miko-tongxue, do you want to have the ability to exorcise yourself, just like me?"
He seemed to be doing multi-level marketing at this moment.
"What did you say!"
Hearing the last sentence, Yotsuya Miko could no longer remain calm, suddenly stood up, her heart filled with shock.
To have the ability to exorcise, just like him.
She almost suspected she had misheard.
But the fact was, she hadn't misheard.
Lin Bai smiled slightly and confirmed: "I said, do you want to have the ability to exorcise, just like me?"
"Can you do that?"
Yotsuya Miko's eyes widened slightly, suspicious, but at the same time, some anticipation couldn't help but arise in her heart.
Lin Bai didn't speak, just smiled slightly at her.
Yotsuya Miko: "..."
After a brief hesitation, her desire ultimately took over, and she couldn't help but ask:
"So, what's the price?"
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
She knew this, so she didn't fantasize about getting something for nothing.
After all, even going to a shrine to worship required offerings.
Let alone gaining a superpower that allowed her to exorcise.
Although she knew there would be a price, she still asked.
Because she was truly fed up with living in fear of Evil Spirits!
