"Is that so?" Erina Nakiri on the other side did not doubt it. In her mind, it was impossible for Koko to lie to her about these things.
"I've been interested in these things lately. Could you tell me about that restaurant?" Fang Yan continued to inquire.
“Actually, I don’t know much either! I used to be an atheist. If that thing hadn’t been so amazing, I wouldn’t have believed it. You know, that was the restaurant of Kojiro Shinomiya, the former number one of the Elite Ten!” Erina Nakiri continued to recount.
"Shinomiya Kojiro? I remember we went there before!" Fang Yan also remembered Shinomiya Kojiro, the character who was often used by the protagonist in fanfiction to show off, slap his face, and gain the favor of girls.
Of course, Kojiro Shinomiya may have had some problems at the beginning, but he later became a helper to the main characters.
Unexpectedly, it was Shinomiya Kojiro who was unlucky this time!
"Well, while Shinomiya-senpai's culinary skills may not be considered the pinnacle, he's certainly not weak among the top ten winners of all time. But the food he's cooking now is utterly tasteless!" Erina Nakiri sighed.
The feeling of falling from the peak to the valley like this must be terrible, right?
If it were me, I'd probably feel like I was living a life worse than death, right?
"Is all the food cooked by Shinomiya Kojiro like this, or is it the same for all the chefs in the restaurant?" Arthur continued to ask.
"It seems that none of the chefs at that restaurant, whether they are the head chef or the assistant chef, can cook delicious food anymore!"
Grandpa is currently helping them find an Onmyoji, but he says there aren't many truly skilled Onmyoji these days, so getting their help won't be easy!
"If only I could learn some Yin-Yang techniques. It seems this world isn't safe. I've decided, I'm going to start learning Taoist arts today!" Fang Yan pondered for a moment, then continued typing on his computer.
"Σ(っД;)っ, you're going to become a Taoist priest?" Erina Nakiri exclaimed in shock. "Don't do anything reckless! It's not that easy!"
"Of course I know, don't worry, I don't want to leave you alone in your room!"
"Get lost! Besides, I have nothing to do with you. o(≧口≦)o!"
"Then why were you so concerned about whether I would become a Taoist priest? Believe me or not, I'll become a Taoist priest!"
"you dare!?"
After chatting for a while, Erina Nakiri logged off. This girl doesn't have much free time every day, and Fang Yan is used to it. It's always good that she has things she wants to do.
Fang Yan was also very satisfied with Nakiri Erina. As expected of the girl he had raised since childhood, she was tsundere, but she wasn't as unreasonable as Eriri. A girl's tsundere with a sense of propriety was even more adorable! Moreover, her cooking skills were quite good; she was definitely a good cook.
On the contrary, Fang Yan searched online for information about Shinomiya Kojiro, only to find, to his dismay, that apart from some basic information, there wasn't much else. Even the reviews on food review websites hadn't been posted for almost a week.
You know, people were commenting on it every day before!
It seemed that something had indeed happened over there, and Fang Yan was eager to try. Without hesitation, he found a trench coat to put on, along with sunglasses and a mask, and went out.
But as soon as he opened the door, he looked surprised because he finally saw the owner of the house across the street. He had seen someone moving things a few days ago, but he had never seen the person in person. He never expected to see them here.
But could there be something wrong with this person? Chris Vineyard! A famous Hollywood actress, and also the daughter of the late Sharon Vineyard.
However, Fang Yan knew that Sharon Vineyard and Sharon Vineyard were the same person from beginning to end: Vermouth! A female assassin from a black organization!
Of course, she can also be considered one of Fang Yan's two-dimensional wives.
However, Vermouth is no pushover. If he were to make contact rashly, who knows if he would be assassinated by her, even though Fang Yan is not afraid of her now.
Of course, if you can avoid getting involved with this kind of person, it's best to stay away from them.
Thinking of this, Fang Yan nodded slightly to Vermouth, then turned to leave.
"This boy?" Vermouth stared thoughtfully at Fang Yan's hurried departure, then a playful smile appeared on her face.
Judging from the other party's reaction, they must have recognized her. She wasn't surprised by this, after all, she was a big star herself.
But the other person's demeanor—clearly admiring of him, yet seemingly unwilling to get involved, even avoiding him like the plague—is intriguing!
Very interesting young man!
I never expected to run into such a neighbor right after returning to Sakura Province to investigate some things. Interesting!
Chapter 7
"Tap tap tap!" On a path not far from Fang Yan's house, a girl wearing a white beret was running around anxiously, glancing back and forth from time to time. The street, which was originally quite nice, was now deserted, which made the girl even more panicked.
She clutched the amulet to her chest tightly in both hands, which she had recently obtained from a temple, hoping to gain some sense of security from it.
The girl's name is Kato Megumi!
Recently, Kato Megumi has not been having a good time, especially after seeing her classmate Aki Tomoya die in front of her. Kato Megumi has been having nightmares about the scene from time to time, and the image is really terrifying.
Therefore, she went to the temple on the weekend to ask for a peace charm, but the charm didn't seem to work.
When I arrived at school today, I saw Aki Tomoya Σ(っД;)っ! Kato Megumi witnessed Aki Tomoya die right in front of her!
The way Aki Tomoya died was exactly the same as Aki Tomoya's, how could Kato Megumi forget it? She had encountered a ghost!
Never before had Kato Megumi hoped that her overlooked "ability" could be more powerful!
Fortunately, Aki Tomoya didn't seem to notice him. Instead, he followed someone else, Fang Yan, who was sitting behind him!
After class, Aki Tomoya left with Fang Yan, which made the bob-haired girl extremely worried. Admittedly, she was very afraid of ghosts and worried that she would be targeted by ghosts. However, Kato Megumi was also very kind-hearted. She did not want to see Fang Yan, one of the few classmates who could occasionally recognize her, be killed.
After hesitating for a moment, Kato Megumi followed Fang Yan over, wanting to give him a reminder.
Before they even reached Fang Yan's house, Kato Megumi noticed that everything around her had changed.
The streets were still the same streets, but all the people on them had disappeared.
After seeing Aki Tomoya, Kato Megumi immediately thought that she might have encountered a ghost!
She wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, but no matter how Kato Megumi tried to escape, she couldn't seem to get away. There was never a soul on the streets, and many familiar streets kept appearing one after another.
Kato Megumi felt extremely anxious, realizing she was trapped. All she could do now seemed to be hold onto the amulet tightly and try to leave.
Why do ghosts and monsters really exist in this world?
It's worth noting that when Kato Megumi realized that she had a weak presence in the eyes of others, and even her own parents would occasionally forget about her, she searched online to see if there were any special abilities in the world, and perhaps she had some superpowers that no one else could discover.
After searching several times, Kato Megumi could only helplessly admit that she was probably just too ordinary, which was why no one around her had noticed her.
Hmm, nothing special, Kato Megumi!
Kato Megumi originally thought that there were no special abilities in this world, but she never expected that she would encounter ghosts and monsters!
Now, Kato Megumi desperately hopes that she can also have special abilities so that the demons can ignore her.
And so, Kato Megumi continued to flee through the streets! Finally, she spotted a figure not far from her. There, a cat-headed, human-bodied monster was "strolling" around, seemingly searching for something!
"Monster!" This made Kato Megumi want to scream, but she covered her mouth. If the monster heard her voice, she would be dead!
The monster walked right past her, seemingly unaware of her presence! This made Kato Megumi breathe a huge sigh of relief; it seemed she really did have superpowers!
Little did they know, at this moment, the monster was also extremely agitated. It had trapped someone inside before, so why couldn't it find them now?
This unscientific!
Good heavens, these days even ghosts and monsters are starting to talk about science!
This was not good news for the cat demon. Its master had instructed it not to be discovered when it went out to hunt for food, but now, just as it was about to hunt, its prey suddenly disappeared.
Just as the cat demon was getting anxious, it suddenly sensed a special aura that had entered the illusion it had created.
Another living person has arrived? This made the cat demon's eyes light up. Regardless of what the person who had disappeared before was like, he would fill his own stomach first.
Perhaps after I've eaten my fill, the prey I caught earlier will also appear?
"Interesting, I never thought there really were monsters in this world!" At this moment, a voice also entered the ears of the cat demon and Kato Megumi.
This person was Fang Yan, who was on his way to the Shinomiya Kojiro Restaurant. However, he had just stepped out when he sensed something strange and came over. He never expected that a cat demon would appear here.
Unfortunately, it's a male cat demon with a cat's head. It's incredibly ugly, I find it repulsive!
Since she's a cat demon, she should be like Master Ke; that's the pinnacle of cat-eared girls!
Those carving masters are proper human beings, and they are much more professional than you, a proper cat demon!
"However, I encountered ghosts and monsters just by going out for a walk. It seems this world is more dangerous than I imagined!" Fang Yan felt a surge of vigilance. It seemed he needed to activate the system as soon as possible and become stronger!
Their strength seems somewhat lacking!
Chapter 8
"However, this cat doesn't seem to be very strong!" Fang Yan narrowed his eyes and focused his attention on the cat demon. He sensed an uncomfortable and eerie aura emanating from it.
This feeling is different from that of Aki Tomoya before, but it is just as uncomfortable!
Fang Yan could even clearly sense the bloody smell emanating from the cat demon, and it was quite strong. Clearly, the demon had been committing a lot of killings recently.
Fang Yan felt a sense of helplessness. He had received the inheritance of Dong Jun, so he could be considered a martial artist, right? At most, he was a martial artist with a touch of fantasy. He could handle weaker cat demons, but if they were stronger, his expertise was a bit mismatched!
Look at other people's systems, they're always using the Golden Light Mantra with a hundred years of internal energy cultivation, plus the Five Thunder Orthodox Method, they have absolutely no pressure when facing these demons and monsters.
This system is a total rip-off!
"Damn it! Who are you?" The cat demon was furious when it heard Fang Yan's words. Was it being looked down upon?
However, it dared not make any rash moves. It had a premonition that the man in front of it was not much weaker than its master.
"It's him?" At this moment, Kato Megumi, who was hiding to the side, also recognized Fang Yan's identity. Although Fang Yan was wearing a coat, sunglasses and a mask, Kato Megumi still recognized him immediately.
After all, she was very familiar with that voice; after all, he was the student sitting behind her. Kato Megumi was quite familiar with Fang Yan's voice.
Why is Fang Yan here? Has he lost his mind? There's a monster on the other side! Shouldn't he have run away immediately upon seeing a monster?
Kato Megumi desperately wanted to go out and escape with Fang Yan, but at that moment, she was dumbfounded. She actually saw a small flame appear on Fang Yan's finger. This was definitely not created by a lighter or anything like that. Fang Yan had actually produced a flame on his right index finger.
Could Fang Yan really be a hidden master?
It doesn't seem impossible. After all, I not only saw ghosts today, but now I've even seen monsters. It's not unacceptable that Fang Yan has become a hidden master.
Fang Yan left in a hurry after class earlier, probably because he had already seen Aki Tomoya and wanted to take him to a secluded place to get rid of him quietly.
Even now, Fang Yan has sensed the aura of a demon and is dealing with the cat demon. The reason why ordinary people like us don't know about those supernatural things is probably because there are behind-the-scenes heroes like Fang Yan protecting us.
Kato Megumi would never have imagined that Fang Yan, this big shot, had been tormented by Aki Tomoya for several days and couldn't sleep. Not long ago, he was even almost killed by Aki Tomoya.
After realizing that Fang Yan was no ordinary person, Kato Megumi withdrew her foot. She might have some "abilities" that no one could discover, but in terms of combat strength, she was really just a weakling!
"Me? Just a hero for fun!" Fang Yan chuckled as he looked at the cat demon, then unleashed a burst of flame that swept towards the cat demon.
He could tell that the cat demon opposite him was not a benevolent being, and it seemed to be eating people. Therefore, he also needed to eliminate it, since the system's revival seemed to require such power.
