That child, and his family, in the end...
That bone-chilling cold swept through Yotsuya Miko's entire body once again.
If Zhou Ye finds out, what about the others?
What will happen to the people in this mansion?
Will she bring them disaster?
Fear, like a venomous snake, coiled around her heart, tightening ever more.
Nami stood to the side, a knowing glint in her orange eyes.
She has just gained extraordinary powers and is far more accepting of these mystical matters than ordinary people.
She could sense the almost overflowing negative energy emanating from Yotsuya Miko, as well as the peculiar aura left behind after a long-term entanglement with a spirit.
This girl is indeed very special.
Indeed, life is very hard.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's shock at this moment was no less than that of Yotsuya Miko.
Yin-yang eyes?
Did you see an evil spirit?
Can you see things that ordinary people can't see?
Her first reaction was that it was absurd.
But then, she remembered the biting cold in the alley, Miko's desperate cries, and Nami's miraculous and effortless elimination of the unknown terror.
So...it was all true?
She writes light novels, and can come up with all sorts of imaginative and fantastical settings with ease.
But she never imagined that those elements that only existed in her imagination would appear so realistically in her life, in her best friend.
After the initial shock, an indescribable emotion welled up in Kasumigaoka Utaha's heart.
It was a mixture of heartache for a friend, and... a strong, almost instinctive curiosity as a creator.
Her gaze shifted back and forth between the trembling Yotsuya Miko and the indifferent Zhou Ye.
A vast library of story material, brimming with the unknown and the exciting, seemed to be opening its doors to her.
She writes romantic comedies, but that doesn't mean she won't try ghost stories.
If I could share my experience of meeting my child...
No, no.
Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately dismissed the thought.
Asking Jianzi directly about this would be like rubbing salt into her friend's most vulnerable wound, and their friendship would likely capsize on the spot.
Seeing that her son was about to cry, she felt a pang of heartache.
but……
Zhou Ye brought it up himself.
That's completely different.
Kasumigaoka Utaha's eyes lit up, sparkling with the light of a writer's inspiration and thirst for knowledge.
She looked at Zhou Ye with a hint of cautious inquiry.
Zhou Ye seemed oblivious to Kasumigaoka Utaha's burning gaze; his attention remained fixed on Yotsuya Miko.
"Your ability is like a lighthouse in the darkness for some beings."
His voice remained calm.
"It will attract them, and it will also make you more susceptible to their influence."
Yotsuya Miko suddenly raised her head, her lips trembling, but she couldn't utter a single word.
she knows.
She always knew.
That's why she desperately pretended not to see it and endured it.
But now, this man has easily shattered all her pretense.
"However, it's not all without its advantages."
Zhou Ye then changed the subject.
Yotsuya Miko looked at him blankly.
Kasumigaoka Utaha also perked up her ears and even softened her breathing.
"At least, you can detect danger earlier than others."
Zhou Ye picked up the teacup beside him and took a small sip.
"It also allows us to see some truths that ordinary people cannot see."
The atmosphere in the living room became somewhat tense because of this conversation.
Yotsuya Miko's fear did not dissipate; on the contrary, Zhou Ye's seemingly all-knowing demeanor added a touch of inexplicable awe to her.
She didn't know what would happen next.
How will this man deal with her, this "outlier"?
Should we "purify" her like we would an evil spirit?
The thought of this possibility made Miko Yotsuya tremble even more violently.
Seeing her friend's expression, Kasumigaoka Utaha finally couldn't help but speak up.
"Um... Zhou Ye."
Her voice carried a hint of probing.
"Jianzi...I hope she's alright?"
Zhou Ye put down his teacup and turned his gaze to Kasumigaoka Utaha.
"Something happened? Why would something happen?"
He countered with a question tinged with genuine confusion, as if he didn't understand why she would ask such a question.
Kasumigaoka Utaha was speechless at his question.
Yes, why would something happen?
Because you can see those things?
But doesn't Nami, who just saved them, also possess superhuman strength?
The mansion itself is shrouded in mystery.
“I’m just… worried about her.”
Kasumigaoka Utaha explained with some difficulty.
Zhou Ye's gaze returned to Yotsuya Miko.
"Fear stems from the unknown, and also from helplessness."
He said slowly.
“When you have enough power, or enough understanding of those things, fear will naturally lessen.”
His words were like a pebble thrown into the turbulent lake of Yotsuya Miko's heart, creating ripples in circles.
power?
learn?
She had never thought about these things.
She simply kept running away and enduring it.
Zhou Ye looked at her, his eyes calm and unwavering.
"Your constitution is very special. If you continue like this, you will have serious problems sooner or later."
"Those things are not as easy to solve as the ones we encountered in the alley today."
Upon hearing this, Yotsuya's face paled even further.
Of course she knows.
She had seen even more terrifying and indescribable beings.
Each time, I teetered on the edge of life and death.
Nami sighed softly, walked to Yotsuya Miko's side, hesitated for a moment, and then reached out and gently patted her shoulder.
"Don't be too scared."
Her voice was soothing.
"At least here, you are safe."
Feeling the warmth on her shoulder and the kindness in Nami's words, Yotsuya Miko's tense nerves seemed to relax slightly.
She looked up at Nami, then at Zhou Ye.
Both of these people possessed powerful abilities that she could not comprehend.
Can they really help themselves?
Kasumigaoka Utaha watched this scene, her curiosity growing even stronger.
She had a strong premonition.
Today may be a turning point in her and Miko's fate.
