“Just keep eating,” Snow Mother said.
After Snow Mother's interruption, the atmosphere at the dinner table eased.
Yang Nai and Xue Nai returned to their usual selves.
“Right, I forgot to mention something,” Yang Nai said, after taking a few bites, she looked at Snow Mother.
“What is it?”
“Touno is going to start taking on spirit-clearing business, I helped him create a website, and we'll be doing a promotion day after tomorrow,” Yang Nai said.
“Website?” Snow Mother was taken aback.
Xue Nai, however, looked delighted.
If it was spirit-clearing business, the Xue Niwa family could introduce clients.
Moreover, the clients they introduced were either rich or powerful, with generous fees.
However, if they built a website, they would be dealing with ordinary people. This would be a lifeline for ordinary people!
“He's a kind-hearted young man,” Snow Mother also understood, and sighed.
Ordinary people encountering paranormal events were truly helpless.
They could only pray that they were lucky enough not to be killed, or that they happened to encounter someone who could solve paranormal events.
To put it bluntly, it was purely a matter of luck.
Those who were desperate for help would often search for various spirit-clearing information on the internet, leaving messages and seeking help on various forums. If they could find Touno Masashi's website, they might be able to get his help.
This would be a glimmer of hope for survival!
“Right?” Yang Nai smiled with narrowed eyes, a look of pride on her face.
Snow Mother saw her proud expression and shook her head secretly.
Her own daughter was already like water that had been spilled, even though she wasn't married yet.
“Go ahead then, do you need any help?” Snow Mother asked.
“No, I have enough funds and manpower for now,” Yang Nai shook her head.
“Good,” Snow Mother nodded.
On the side.
Xue Nai pursed her lips, wanting to speak but stopping herself.
She wanted to join the website and contribute her strength.
But then she thought that her ‘Qi Xue’ hadn’t even reached the 入门level, and going out would only be a burden to Touno Masashi, so she hesitated.
After much hesitation, she didn't say anything.
Snow Mother and Yang Nai, discreetly observing Xue Nai, both sighed regretfully when they saw Xue Nai give up.
Dinner was quickly finished.
Yang Nai watched some television, then prepared to return to her room to rest.
Snow Mother had already returned to her room.
Only Xue Nai remained on the sofa in the living room.
“Xue Nai,”
Yang Nai called out softly.
“Sister?” Xue Nai looked up, slightly startled.
She saw her sister, Yang Nai, looking at her with an extremely serious expression.
“Good things everyone wants, if you don’t go for it, don’t blame others for taking it away,” Yang Nai said these words, then turned and went into the room.
On the sofa.
Xue Nai clenched her fists tightly, her knuckles turning white.
Her heart was filled with turmoil, her emotions surging.
Yang Nai’s words made her feel a strong sense of resentment.
She was the one who came first!
She would get Touno Masashi back!
……
……
Weekend.
The weather was sunny.
Touno Masashi was at Hiratsuka Shizuka's house, browsing the website.
He nodded in satisfaction: “After the promotion, the daily active users have reached over a hundred, and many of the shared paranormal events are real.”
Building this website, on the one hand, was to give ordinary people some help.
On the other hand, Touno Masashi was also using ordinary people's information to determine the location of demons and ghosts, going there to kill them and gain experience.
“But most of the messages are fake.”
“True encounters are one in a hundred.”
“Well, this is actually normal, there are people secretly cleaning up paranormal events all the time...”
Touno Masashi looked for a while, then closed the website.
He estimated that it would be a while before someone truly in need would leave a message for help.
For now, he could only go and fight curses to level up.
“Powerful curses are rare, most curses that lack thinking abilities only provide a meager amount of experience points,” Touno Masashi shook his head.
But a little is better than none.
And little by little, it could add up.
Over the past few days, Touno Masashi had increased his level by one.
Level 8 → Level 9.
He loaded the new skill points he had gained into【屈人之威】.
【屈人之威】（Level 1 → Level 2）
——
Template: Sethe
Level: 9
Skills: Battlefield Valor (Passive), 屈人之威 (Level 2), 强手裂颅 (Level 1),蓄意轰拳 (Level 5)
Skill Points: 1
——
“Keep grinding the mobs!”
Touno Masashi stretched, then went out to level up.
……
……
Mokuwa High School.
In a classroom.
A girl with long black hair sat in her seat, her expression cold, emotionless, as if she were not interested in anything.
The most she did was look out the window at the scenery.
In the eyes of others.
The window faces the playground, and you can see classmates taking PE class, basking in the sun and giving their youth.
But in the eyes of Yotsuya Mii, the playground was filled with shadows of all shapes and sizes.
These shadows followed every person who passed by, like shadows.
【Can you see me?】
【You can see me, right...】
【You can see me...】
【Look at me...】
The shadows babbled incessantly in the students' ears.
Their voices were hoarse and raspy.
“Can you see me?” A voice, close at hand, sounded in Yotsuya Mii’s ear. She could even feel the icy breath of the shadow.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been startled, revealing the fact that they could see.
But Yotsuya Mii remained motionless, ignoring it.
Her expression did not change at all.
She was used to mere intimidation.
She had become numb.
“How much longer will this kind of life last?” Yotsuya Mii looked out the window and muttered in despair.
——“Can you see me?”
——“You see me now, don’t you?”
The ghost behind her lingered for a while, then, seeing that Yotsuya Mii seemed not to see it, it left.
Yotsuya Mii’s expression remained unchanged.
As if she had not noticed the ghost's departure.
Hoh!
The departing ghost suddenly turned around, its bloodshot eyes fixed on Yotsuya Mii.
This sudden backhanded attack was extremely sudden.
Even the bravest person might be scared.
But Yotsuya Mii looked straight ahead, still looking out the window, as if she really couldn't see.
——“You can’t see me.”
The ghost left regretfully, and this time it really left.
“...”
Yotsuya Mii remained expressionless. After waiting for a while, she put her hands on the desk and stood up carefully.
“What's wrong, Mii?” Her friend, Yurikawa Hana, came over, puzzled.
“I drank too much water and want to go to the bathroom,” Yotsuya Mii gave a faint smile, a bitterness behind it.
Actually, she was almost scared to pee her pants.
“Oh, go ahead then,” Yurikawa Hana nodded and said, “By the way, I found a new paranormal website, the administrator seems to be able to help everyone solve paranormal events, and a lot of people are leaving messages.”
“Mii, you’ve always been interested in the paranormal, haven't you?”
“I'll send you the website.”
