Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 183

Seeing that Zi had forced out the last bit of courage, he passed through the evil spirit and picked up the Ramu rabbit that Xiao Hua had just dropped on the ground.

Despite telling myself countless times to ignore it, stay normal, and pretend nothing happened.

But her body continued to tremble uncontrollably.

Tears completely filled her eyes, and even though she tried her best to control her expression, she still looked like she was about to cry.

"Pfft hahahaha..."

Seeing that Jianzi's eyes were filled with tears, her gaze was empty and desperate, and her expression looked like she was about to break down, Xia Yan's smile became even more wicked.

That expression, that look of fear on the verge of tears, yet forced to hold it back.

But the expression on her face was completely uncontrollable!

How interesting! As expected, Jianzi is very cute!

That expression is so captivating, I can never get enough of it!

Why are you still laughing so happily?

Xia Yan's laughter made Jianzi feel even more aggrieved, and the tears she had been holding back for so long silently flowed down her cheeks.

"Because seeing how cute it is that she's about to cry from being bullied, but is trying so hard not to shed a tear!"

Upon hearing this, Jianzi momentarily forgot her fear.

Byd, it almost made me laugh out loud.

But thinking that the other person had always been like this since the day they met, taking pleasure in bullying her, Jianzi felt somewhat relieved.

Otherwise, what else can be done?

It's already come to this; they're just one step away from being completely devoured.

I can only comfort myself by telling myself not to be angry.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, she handed the Ram Rabbit to Xiao Hua.

"Jianzi! Why are you crying?!"

Although she had composed herself, Xiao Hua still noticed the tears still lingering in Jianzi's eyes.

After all, it's quite obvious whether someone has cried or not.

"So the broken prayer beads really hit you hard, didn't they! They actually sold you a defective one! I'm going to go back and give them a piece of my mind!"

"Absolutely not..."

Seeing that she couldn't see the evil spirit at all, Xiao Hua was angrily about to pass through and run back to argue with the shopkeeper. Jian Zi felt a jolt in her heart and hugged Xiao Hua tightly.

It took a lot of effort to dissuade the other party from helping him vent his anger.

If this means you have to walk through the evil spirit again, what was the point of everything I just did?!

Moreover, Jianzi knew perfectly well that the broken rosary was caused by an evil spirit, not by a product quality issue.

Although it could also be considered a quality issue.

After all, it was said to have been blessed by a temple and could be used to ward off evil spirits when it was bought, but it exploded after being looked at by an evil spirit a couple of times.

I should have listened to Xia Yan in the first place; I shouldn't have bought this useless rosary!

That's a whopping 8000 yen...

Chapter 273 Seeing Zijiang's Praise for Showing Off

"Although it's funny to bully you and watch you cry, do you really not need me to step in?"

Looking at Jianzi, who was sitting on a public bench in the pedestrian street, eating her daifuku in small bites as if nothing had happened, and then glancing at the egg-faced evil spirit with chains around its neck standing next to her, Xia Yan said in a somewhat flippant tone.

It's not that he has to wait for Jianzi's permission before he can make a move.

However, he wanted to see just how long Jianzi would remain stubborn.

After all, the reason Jianzi didn't let him help was because she misunderstood his strength and thought that he might get hurt if he clashed with this evil spirit.

In other words, Jianzi would rather live in fear than see herself get hurt.

To be honest, Xia Yan quite enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.

That's why he didn't correct Jianzi's misunderstanding of his own strength, nor did he directly tear the egg-faced evil spirit to pieces.

Although this almost equivalent substitution, building one's peace of mind on the fear of seeing one's child, makes Xia Yan feel that it's a bit perverted.

'No need, I can handle it. Just ignore it, and it'll go away on its own soon enough.'

Seeing that Zi was still putting on a brave face, I thought to myself.

At the same time, I tried hard to control my gaze and not look at the swaying evil spirit standing beside me.

Seeing Zi's stubborn look, Xia Yan decided to give her a hint.

"Yay, yay, I'm really strong, you know. There's no need to worry about this kind of evil spirit."

Upon hearing Xia Yan's words, Jian Zi was stunned for a moment.

Very strong...

Does that mean I don't need to worry about him saying he's hurt?

But this evil spirit is clearly different from the others. Could Xia Yan be deliberately putting on a brave face for my sake...?

So Xia Yan isn't completely indifferent to my feelings after all!

Thinking of this, Jianzi suddenly felt a warm glow in her heart, as if she were filled with courage.

"...No need!" Seeing that Zi hesitated for a moment, she still refused, but felt a little more touched.

Xia Yan almost burst out laughing at his self-absorbed expression.

"Hey! Jianzi, are you listening?"

"Hey! What's wrong, Xiaohua?"

Hearing his friend calling him from beside him, and seeing that Zi had come back to his senses, he turned around to look.

"Really, why is Kenko suddenly spacing out? Is she still thinking about the prayer beads after all..."

"No, I was just spacing out for a moment..."

Seeing Xiaohua's concerned expression, Jianzi smiled helplessly.

She genuinely wasn't thinking about the prayer beads.

However, seeing the helpless smile on Zi's face, it was clear that Xiao Hua had misunderstood.

"Oh, right!" Xiaohua exclaimed as if she had just remembered something. "I know a shop on the old street that sells spiritual items! They sell blessed prayer beads, and I've heard they're very effective. Why don't we go check it out? Maybe they'll have some powerful prayer beads!"

"what?"

Seeing Xiaohua's sudden idea, Jianzi noticed a bead of sweat on his forehead.

Excuse me, is anyone home?

Looking at the seemingly empty shop, Jianzi asked with some doubt.

Although it's called a shop, it's actually just a very small storefront with a purple sign hanging on it.

It says "divination, exorcism, and deity godmother".

Services include boosting your fortune, career luck, and love luck.

Although I didn't have high hopes, I couldn't resist Xiaohua's enthusiastic recommendation, and I also had a bit of wishful thinking, so I wanted to see if it really worked.

So I went with Xiaohua anyway.

Upon hearing Miko's voice, an old woman in a red cloak stood up from behind the counter.

He looked quite old, with wrinkles all over his face, a mole between his nose and the corner of his eye, and gray hair. He had a kind smile.

"Oh my, two very cute guests have arrived."

As someone who makes a living by fortune-telling, he is naturally very good at talking. As soon as they met, he praised Jianzi and Xiaohua's appearance.

However, it is clear that Miko will not be fooled by such rhetoric; her goals have always been quite clear.

Do you have any very powerful prayer beads?

"Or one that won't break down all at once!" Xiaohua added.

Although it's unclear why Miko didn't pursue the matter, she was clearly still bothered by the fact that the prayer beads she bought from "Dunji" exploded in less than ten minutes, so she specifically emphasized the quality of the prayer beads.

“A powerful rosary… I happen to have a rosary here that brings good fortune.” The old lady turned around and handed a seemingly ordinary rosary to Jianzi.

He took the prayer beads from the old lady and put them on his wrist.

"This string of prayer beads contains very powerful energy..."

Snapped--

The old lady was about to boast about what was so special about her rosary, but before she could finish her sentence, the rosary that Miko had put on her hand suddenly exploded.

A few beads bounced off and hit her face.

It was as if it were a slap in the face.

This scene clearly stunned the old lady, and made her seriously examine the two girls, Jianzi and Xiaohua, standing in front of her.

Although she may appear to be a charlatan, she actually possesses a considerable number of exorcism techniques.

The old lady's name was Takeda Mie, and in her youth she even became a well-known exorcist with the title of "Godmother of Gods".

If one wanted, one could easily become a famous psychic on television.

Her master was also a very popular exorcism expert who frequently appeared on television at the time, known as "Oka Toko".

Although his clairvoyance is average and not as extraordinary as some others, his clairvoyance is still increasing, and he can see almost any spirit.

However, he is not as specialized as Jianzi, to the point that he can only study and has no other abilities.

Therefore, although it wasn't clear, after carefully examining Jianzi, she still saw the evil spirit that had followed her from the alley, with chains wrapped around its neck.

Although all you can see is a blurry black mist.

You can watch it, but only a little bit.
