Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 182

What?! Isn't this useful?!

Seeing that the newly purchased prayer beads had such amazing effects, Jianzi's face lit up with a delighted smile, as if she had found a treasure.

It's as if, ever since I started wearing these prayer beads, my back doesn't ache, my legs don't hurt, and I have more energy to walk.

They chased after Xiao Hua, who had already run halfway.

But the next moment, Jianzi's happy smile froze on her face.

A demon that looked completely different from those weak and cowardly evil spirits, exuding a powerful sense of oppression, staggered to the middle of the alley after Xiao Hua ran past it.

It was like a wall separating Xiaohua and Jianzi.

This evil spirit was enormous; Jianzi's height didn't even reach its chest, and it was even taller than Xia Yan, at least two meters tall.

He was wearing a khaki-colored uniform, similar to that of a slaughterhouse worker or a deliveryman, with that filthy look characteristic of evil spirits.

Layer upon layer of fine iron chains were tightly wrapped around his neck, the force of which was clearly visible, deeply constricting the flesh of his neck, from which dark red blood flowed.

A chain defied gravity and floated upwards, making the evil spirit appear as if it had been hanged.

Its head was hairless, its mouth resembled a mango growing vertically, and its eyes were completely empty, one shaped like an O and the other like a I. Its entire head was full of wrinkles, like an egg with three holes.

This is completely different from other evil spirits that avoid prayer beads at all costs, or even stick them to the wall.

The evil spirit seemed to have no reaction to the rosary beads.

No, there is still a reaction.

"It's so itchy..."

The evil spirit made a sound as if it were muttering to itself.

Snapped--

The next second, the prayer beads that Jianzi had been holding in front of her as a magic weapon exploded instantly, with scattered beads flying everywhere.

Jian Zi was completely stunned.

She had no time to consider the value of the 4000 yen rosary she had just bought less than ten minutes ago.

They didn't even mourn for the shattered rosary beads for a moment.

A silent fear filled her heart.

"Pfft, hahaha... What? This is completely useless! Hehe, I told you not to buy it. In the end, I still had to do it myself..."

Hearing Xia Yan's carefree laughter, Jianzi's panic and fear were greatly dispelled.

That's right! I still have Xia Yan, and Xia Yan-kun will definitely protect me!

Thinking of this, Jianzi felt a sense of relief.

Just as she was about to ask Xia Yan for help, a question suddenly came to her mind.

It is obvious that Xia Yan himself reacts to the rosary.

Moreover, there is no doubt that Xia Yan, who is possessing him, is closer to the prayer beads than the evil spirit, but the prayer beads on his hand do not react at all.

And this evil spirit was able to make the rosary beads explode!

Could it be that……

This evil spirit...

Is he stronger than Xia Yan?!

No, we should have faith in Xia Yanjun! Since he offered to help, it means he must be confident.

But this evil spirit looks pretty powerful too!

Xia Yanjun might get hurt because of this.

What should I do……

Xia Yan remained silent.

Although he didn't know how Jianzi's strange thought process came about, or why he thought his strength was inferior to this toothless egg in front of him.

But watching Jianzi's feelings change from joy to sorrow, then from sorrow to joy, and then back to sorrow again is quite interesting.

So he didn't speak up, but wanted to see what decision Jianzi would make.

Anyway, with him around, Jianzi definitely won't get hurt.

"Meet your son?"

Yurikawa Hana, who had almost reached the end of the alley, saw Miko suddenly stop and tilted her head in confusion before turning back again.

"Why did you suddenly freeze? Did your shoelace come undone? See you now?"

"N-nothing! It's just that the prayer beads suddenly broke."

Xiao Hua's words interrupted Jian Zi's thoughts. Seeing that Xiao Hua was about to walk back and was about to bump into the terrifying evil spirit, Jian Zi quickly spoke up to stop her.

"Huh!? Weren't the prayer beads just bought?! What's wrong with them?"

Upon hearing Jianzi's words, Xiaohua's face showed an incredulous expression, but she did not stop walking.

'No! We can't let Xiaohua go any further, or she'll bump into something. But we can't say anything. And we can't ask Xia Yanjun for help either; this evil spirit looks very powerful and might hurt Xia Yanjun. We can't just go around it either, or it will reveal that we can see evil spirits…'

'In that case, there's only one choice left!'

Thinking of this, he saw a resolute expression on his face.

She took a deep breath, pretending not to see the evil spirit in front of her, and walked straight ahead.

'I can't see!'

With this determination, Jianzi passed through the evil spirit without any hindrance.

Chapter 272 Byd, I almost laughed out of anger.

'Just as I thought, as long as the evil spirit doesn't notice, we can pass through without any hindrance!'

Thinking of this, Jianzi felt a surge of relief.

Although she had long suspected this, she had never actually done it.

First, it's unnecessary.

After all, with Xia Yan around, any evil spirit that she couldn't avoid would be dealt with as soon as she made a sound.

So she doesn't need to do such a thing.

Secondly, they lack courage.

After all, she wasn't sure if her guess was right, and if something went wrong, it would only create more trouble.

Moreover, those evil spirits looked so strange that just looking at them terrified her to the point of being unable to move, let alone actually passing through them.

Now, forced by circumstances, for the sake of her lover and friends, Jianzi has finally made a choice.

"Oh no! Both strings are broken!? Go back to 'Dunji' and have them replace them with new ones!"

"No...no need..."

Although it was proven that the evil spirit could indeed pass through, this act completely destroyed the courage that Miko had finally mustered.

Rather than go through that mental torment again, Miko would rather give up the two strings of prayer beads.

Although the 8000 yen still pained her.

Once Xiao Hua confirmed that Jianzi indeed did not intend to go back to get new prayer beads, she did not press the matter further, since she could not force Jianzi to do so.

But when he turned around, he found that the Ram Rabbit that he had been carrying on his back had disappeared.

"Huh? That's strange..."

Xiao Hua subconsciously looked back and, sure enough, she had accidentally fallen off while running.

At this moment, they were not far behind Jianzi.

That is,

At the feet of that evil spirit...

"Thank goodness! I didn't even notice it; I had no idea when I dropped it."

"and many more!"

Seeing Xiaohua getting closer and closer to the evil spirit, Jianzi's heart was pounding so hard he quickly grabbed her.

"What's wrong, Jianzi?"

Xiao Hua tilted her head in confusion, looking at Jianzi who had pulled her back with a puzzled expression. Her eyes were as innocent as a college student's.

"I...I'll go pick it up for you..." Jianzi's voice trembled slightly.

However, to avoid Xiaohua coming into contact with the evil spirit, she took a deep breath and resolutely walked towards the rabbit doll that had fallen to the ground.

Despite having made up her mind, Jianzi still hesitated when she stood before the evil spirit again.

After several days of living without fear under Xia Yan's protection,

It would be quite difficult for her to muster the courage to face things on her own again, much like a shift from luxury to frugality.

Despite constantly reassuring myself that I had already succeeded and nothing would happen, I could just pretend I knew nothing.

But tears still welled up in her eyes.

"Oh dear, you're really indecisive... If you're so scared, why don't you just ask me for help? It's normal for a woman to rely on her man, isn't it?"

'……don't want.'

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Jian Zi almost immediately agreed.

However, thinking that Xia Yan might be hurt because of this, she still refused against her will.

Although I was the one who refused, I couldn't help but feel inexplicably wronged.

It's like if a child falls down, if you ignore him, he'll get up on his own quickly. But if you rush to comfort him, it will only make him cry.

Ultimately, however, Jianzi is not a child, and her thinking is more mature than that of her peers.

Knowing all this is not Xia Yan's problem.
