Under the courage Yang Tao provided, Miko took a deep breath and walked directly through the Chain Ghost's body.
Yang Tao glanced at the Chain Ghost, worried it was some important plot character, and thus extinguished the idea of eliminating it now.
Picking up the doll Hana had dropped on the ground, Yang Tao walked past the Chain Ghost.
"Thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known the doll was lost."
"You're welcome, let's go. I'm also very interested in the pipi daifuku you mentioned."
Safely passing through the alley, not far away was the dessert shop Hana had mentioned. There were many people queuing outside, clearly this shop was very famous.
"Then I'll go buy them. You wait for me here for a bit..."
Hana excitedly ran towards the dessert shop, leaving Yang Tao and Miko on the road.
"Do you know this guy behind us? Have you seen it before?"
Miko, whose gaze was fixed on a nearby fortune-telling shop, was startled by Yang Tao's question, then realized Yang Tao was asking about the Chain Ghost that had followed them.
That's right, that Chain Ghost hadn't stayed obediently in the alley, but had followed behind Miko.
"No... I don't know it, and I haven't seen it before."
Yang Tao nodded slightly. Although he was a bit worried about the plot, this guy's face, whether its shape or appearance, made him very disgusted. He had already been kind enough to let it go, yet it actually followed him to its own death.
If he didn't kill it, he wouldn't be able to face those Entities that died by its hands.
"It's good that you don't know it. Miss Miko, please wait a moment. I'll go take care of something and be right back."
"Ah? Okay... Okay."
After speaking, Miko saw Yang Tao turn directly, grab the chain on the Chain Ghost's neck, and then walk forcefully into the alley.
The Chain Ghost was caught off guard and pulled to the ground by Yang Tao.
"You... You can see me?!"
"Yes, I can see you. What? Are you going to give me an award?"
"Haha... Haha..."
The Chain Ghost's laughter was intermittent, and it was not hard to hear that it was very excited now. The chain that Yang Tao held in his hand seemed to come alive, quickly wrapping around Yang Tao's arm.
However, the next moment, the chain passed directly through Yang Tao's body and fell to the ground.
[Slowness I 00:10]
Yang Tao smiled at Miko and then walked into the dark alley without looking back. Seeing this, the Chain Ghost's clothes distorted, and a large amount of flesh squeezed out from under the clothes.
In the blink of an eye, the Chain Ghost, which had just been humanoid, had now transformed into a massive creature.
"You... Don't run, let me kill... kill you..."
Bang bang bang...
Strange sounds echoed from the alley, like firecrackers or gunshots from television, but gun control in Japan was relatively strict, and ordinary people rarely witnessed them firsthand.
Miko wanted to see what was happening in the alley, but she was still afraid.
However, not long after the strange sounds stopped, Yang Tao walked out of the alley. His clothes were clean, just as they were when he entered.
A faint smile was on his face, making her feel as if it were sunlight.
Only when Yang Tao returned to her side did she come back to her senses.
"You... Are you alright?"
"I'm fine, just some small ghosts. The only thing I didn't expect was that round-headed guy could even have a second stage."
Yang Tao looked at the worried Miko, chuckled as he explained a few words, and then complained:
"If I had known the situation here was so bad, I would have at least made a pair of peach wood brass knuckles."
And enchanted them with Smite and Fire Aspect Enchantment. Using a gun really didn't give him any pleasure.
However, two shots solved the Chain Ghost and also took out several other evil spirits in the alley.
A shotgun didn't even need aiming; a second-stage Chain Ghost was impossible to miss even with eyes closed.
Miko's eyes were fixed on Yang Tao's handsome and confident face. She felt a sense of security she had never experienced before.
"You... Are you an exorcist?"
"Exorcist? Hmm, I guess so. Although the methods aren't exactly the same, the results are similar."
Physical beating exorcism also counts as exorcism.
Miko's emotions were too agitated to control her tears. She reached out and grabbed Yang Tao's arm, pleading: "You... Can you teach me exorcism or make me no longer able to see ghosts? I... I feel like I'm on the verge of breaking down."
In her eyes, Yang Tao was like the last straw of hope after she had fallen into the water.
"Uh, teaching you exorcism isn't a big problem, but I have no way to eliminate Your yin-yang eyes. However, I feel you might encounter Your own opportunity in the future..."
How could the female lead not have her own opportunity? Unless this was a comedy... But bizarre comedies were too rare, at least he hadn't seen one.
"Opportunity?"
Miko was a bit confused by what Yang Tao meant by opportunity, but now Yang Tao was her opportunity, so why wait until later?
Soon, Hana ran back with three bags of pipi daifuku, complaining: "Ah... the strawberry pipi are sold out... Huh? What's going on with you two?"
Seeing Miko grabbing Yang Tao's arm, Hana's already not-so-bright brain completely short-circuited.
This strange man took down Miko so quickly?? Huh? Is he that amazing?
Yang Tao quickly explained, trying to escape: "Miko was just asking me some questions. Also, children shouldn't think so much."
"I'm not a child!"
"Oh... indeed..."
Hana's face turned red as she saw Yang Tao's scrutinizing gaze, stammering: "Mr. Yang is really impolite, how can he look at a girl like that."
Seeing that the topic had been successfully diverted, Yang Tao smiled and, like a hanging antelope horn, subtly broke free from Miko's hand, taking a bag of the so-called pipi daifuku from Hana's hand.
"Uh... Is this pipi daifuku?"
"That's right, how about it? Does it look good?"
In Yang Tao's opinion, this thing was just a large glutinous rice ball, but here it was called daifuku.
"There's a Park up ahead, let's go eat there."
Hana suggested with a lively demeanor. Miko nodded slightly, and Yang Tao had no objections.
Just as Yang Tao and the two girls passed the fortune-telling shop, a prompt popped up in Yang Tao's vision again.
[Exploration Progress 26.75%]
He stopped and looked into the fortune-telling shop. A small person sat behind the shop counter, wearing a large hooded cloak, with half her face hidden under the hood.
Based on her wrinkled face, it was clear this was an elderly woman.
'Is this where the female lead's opportunity lies?'
He remembered that ever since he came out of the alley, he seemed to have been observing this shop.
"Mr. Yang, what's wrong?"
Miko had been paying attention to Yang Tao. Seeing him stop at the entrance of the fortune-telling shop, she thought something unusual had happened.
"Nothing, I saw the fortune-telling shop and suddenly became interested in fortune-telling. Wait for me a moment, I'll go take a look!"
With that, Yang Tao walked to the fortune-telling counter, sat down on the round stool, and looked at the old woman inside with a smile, saying:
"My life has been like walking on thin ice. Do you think I can reach the other side?"
