The encyclopedia of everything sent a notification.
Lin Bai wasn't in a hurry to check it.
The process of him eliminating the Evil Spirit was not seen or perceived by anyone else except Yotsuya Miko.
Looking at the shocked Yotsuya Miko, Lin Bai smiled faintly at her.
Yotsuya Miko reacted, a faint blush spreading across her pale cheeks.
She took a deep breath, trying to suppress the shock in her heart.
With the Evil Spirit vanquished, Yurikawa Hana, having eaten a dorayaki, no longer felt so hungry.
So, she looked at Lin Bai, a cute smile on her face, and asked:
"Lin-tongxue, do you want some?"
"Dorayaki is really delicious."
The bag she was holding still contained several dorayaki.
Lin Bai nodded with a smile: "Sure, give me one."
He showed no signs of politeness.
However, Yurikawa Hana didn't feel uncomfortable with Lin Bai's casualness; on the contrary, she was very happy.
Hmm, the joy of sharing.
So, she happily handed a dorayaki to Lin Bai.
Each dorayaki was individually wrapped in a greaseproof paper bag.
"Thank you."
Lin Bai took the dorayaki and thanked her.
He took a bite; the texture was soft.
A rich honey aroma filled his nostrils.
The delicate outer skin and the smooth, strawberry-flavored filling intertwined, sending his happiness soaring.
Bad moods also seemed to improve.
"Delicious."
Swallowing what was in his mouth, Lin Bai gave his most essential evaluation.
"Right? It's super delicious."
Yurikawa Hana nodded in agreement, smiling at his words.
She couldn't resist taking one out and starting to eat it.
Seeing this, Lin Bai smiled slightly, his smile gentle and sunny.
Then he looked at Yotsuya Miko, who hadn't said a word:
"Yotsuya-tongxue, do you not like dorayaki? They're really good, you can eat them without worry now."
After speaking, he winked at her.
Their eyes met, and hearing Lin Bai's seemingly pointed words, Yotsuya Miko's gaze flickered slightly.
'Is he telling me to relax?'
This thought flashed through her mind.
Yotsuya Miko glanced at the spot where the Evil Spirit had vanished after being vanquished, then looked at Yurikawa Hana and said:
"Xiao Hua, give me one."
"Eh! Okay…"
Yurikawa Hana was startled by the request, then nodded, taking out a dorayaki and handing it to Yotsuya Miko.
Her eyes darted around.
Her gaze went back and forth between Lin Bai and Yotsuya Miko, and some thoughts began to emerge in her mind.
She hadn't eaten any before.
But now that Lin Bai said something, Miko suddenly wanted to eat one.
If someone said there wasn't something special between them, she wouldn't believe it, even if she ate one less bowl of rice tonight.
Hmph, there must be something fishy going on.
Yotsuya Miko took the dorayaki and bit into it, the sweetness and aroma bursting in her mouth, filling her taste buds.
She glanced at Lin Bai.
She smiled faintly, a happy expression appearing at the corners of her lips.
It was truly wonderful to have no Evil Spirits around.
Then, Lin Bai and the other two walked through the food street together.
Yotsuya Miko bought two milk teas.
One for Lin Bai and one for Yurikawa Hana, to prevent her from overthinking.
In a blink of an eye, twenty minutes later, the sun gradually sank below the horizon, and it was time for the children to go home.
Lin Bai and the other two arrived at the Station.
Yotsuya Miko and Yurikawa Hana's homes were in the northern district of Tokyo, so the three parted ways at the Station.
Lin Bai also boarded the train to Nerima Ward, put on his headphones, and with a thought, summoned the encyclopedia of everything.
Nickname: Gluttonous Evil Spirit
Level: Blue
Introduction: A special Evil Spirit
Acquired: Freezing Boundary
..."It's actually blue!"
Looking at the Encyclopedia's level, Lin Bai raised an eyebrow slightly.
He was a little surprised by this.
After all, even Satania, a demon, was only blue-level.
However, looking at the Evil Spirit's nickname displayed by the encyclopedia of everything, Lin Bai reconsidered and found it somewhat acceptable.
Gluttony, one of the Seven Deadly Sins.
Although the Evil Spirit's gluttony differed from that in the Seven Deadly Sins, it was still given the name 'Gluttonous'.
It seemed that if this Gluttonous Evil Spirit kept eating, it would eventually become a powerful BOSS.
The encyclopedia of everything rated items based on their total value.
For example, strength, potential, identity, and all other factors.
The Gluttonous Evil Spirit had special abilities and considerable potential, so its Encyclopedia level was rated as 'blue'.
If only its strength was considered, it would likely only be green-level.
Lin Bai put away the encyclopedia of everything, not rushing to claim the reward.
Half an hour later, Lin Bai returned home.
With a thought, he claimed the reward.
Freezing Boundary, also known as Cage.
This was a superpower.
Moreover, it's a spatial variant ability, possessing not only the power to control boundaries but also to create ice.
After merging, Lin Bai also learned the origin of this ability.
It comes from the 'Beyond the Boundary' worldview.
Specifically, it originates from Nazuna Izumi, the current eldest daughter and head of the Nazuna family.
The Freezing Boundary is a unique ability passed down through the Nazuna family bloodline.
It can create various boundaries for effects such as attack, defense, sealing, isolation, and concealment.
Nazuna Izumi's ability is a variant.
She has the added power to create ice.
As a spatial superpower, its strength is undeniable.
Lin Bai, who now wields the Freezing Boundary, can clearly sense its immense potential, enriching his array of abilities.
Ding-dong~~~
Just as Lin Bai was about to study the Freezing Boundary, his phone chimed, and the screen lit up.
It was a message from Yotsuya Miko.
"Lin Bai (Student), why do I feel like Xiao Hua seems to be easily targeted by evil spirits?"
Oh, she finally noticed the crucial point.
Pushing aside the thought of studying the Freezing Boundary, Lin Bai lay back on the sofa and began to reply.
"Because Yurikawa (Student)'s constitution is special, her life energy is strong, which makes her easily targeted by evil spirits."
Meanwhile, in the North District.
Having returned home, Yotsuya Miko went to her room and her expression changed slightly as she read Lin Bai's reply.
Worry couldn't help but surface in her eyes.
She quickly typed a question: "Will Xiao Hua be in danger then?"
Although for now, as long as one cannot see evil spirits, they cannot cause substantial harm to people.
But what if?
After all, the evil spirits targeting Yurikawa Hana lately felt increasingly terrifying, and an accident could happen at any moment.
Lying on the sofa, Lin Bai's expression gradually became a little languid:
"Yes."
"When evil spirits generate malice, they consume her life energy."
"Once too much life energy is consumed, her life will be in danger."
"Fortunately, Yurikawa (Student)'s constitution is special; she can restore her depleted life force by eating."
"Otherwise, something would have happened long ago."
Seeing Lin Bai's explanation, Yotsuya Miko's mouth slightly opened.
Her heart was filled with both shock and worry.
Shocked by her best friend's uniqueness, and worried for Yurikawa Hana's safety.
After a moment of silence, Yotsuya Miko gently bit her lip and composed a new message to send to Lin Bai:
"Lin Bai (Student), is there a way to keep Xiao Hua out of danger?"
She couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.
Buzz, buzz, a new message popped up.
Daydreamer (Lin Bai): "Of course there's a way."
Yotsuya Miko's expression brightened, and she quickly typed a question:
"What's the method?"
"Please tell me, I'll do anything."
She gritted her teeth, hesitated for a moment, then sent the message to Lin Bai.
"Anything she can do..."
Looking at Yotsuya Miko's message, Lin Bai narrowed his eyes slightly.
A meaningful smile played on the corner of his lips...
