The person who greeted Jin Jing was a very tall man, about 1.8 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, regular facial features, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and a straight tie. He gave off an overall "reliable" look.
"The only strange thing about his temperament is that he wears a black glove on his left hand and a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his right hand.
He doesn't look like a deceitful fortune teller. How did he say those words just now?
"Excuse me, who are you?" Jin Jing blinked and asked.
"Forgot to introduce myself, my name is Nuno Narusuke (ぬえのめいすけ), I am a teacher at Tongshou Elementary School. You can call me 'A Ming' or 'Teacher A Ming'." The tall man said in a self-contained voice
He said in a familiar tone.
"My name is...'Bai Jingjing'." Jin Jing was infected by his aura and subconsciously gave her name.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Bai." Teacher A Ming directly changed the title.
Doesn’t he know how to maintain social distance? So that kind of address actually prevents others from being too polite to him?
"So, Teacher A Ming, what do you mean by 'blackening of Yintang' and 'disaster of blood and light'?" Jin Jing asked instead.
"Can you see Teacher Sugang?" A Ming raised his finger and pointed to the music classroom.
Does that monster have a name? Jin Jing nodded.
"This is a sign that your 'spiritual vision' is too high, and Miss Bai, you have no 'spiritual power' at all," A Ming paused and waited for Jin Jing to understand what he said before continuing: "In this case,
It's easy to see things like ghosts and ghosts that ordinary people can't see, and most of 'that stuff' only hurts those who can see it."
"Hmm..." Jin Jing flipped through his attributes, and there were no entries like "Spiritual Vision" or "Spiritual Power". The highest one currently was "Faith", with 15 points, and the lowest one was Luck.
It's completely 0. Perhaps he is talking about the effect of the combination of these two attributes: "Then what should I do?"
"I'm a talented person who can solve Miss Bai's problems." A Ming patted his chest: "The most famous 'spiritual teacher' in Tongshou Elementary School is A Ming. I only need 100,000 yen.
It can help Miss Bai eliminate these worries~"
"..."
Even if you say you are a non-staff member of a Taoist temple, a shrine, or an Yin-Yang dormitory, what is the name of a "spirit-removing teacher"?
However, because this identity is so outrageous, it doesn't look like it was made up. Maybe he has some real abilities?
It's a pity that I have no money.
"sorry, I--"
"Wait! Fifty thousand yen is okay too!"
Just when Jin Jing was about to decline, A Ming took the initiative to lower the price.
"Even if it's fifty thousand..."
"Just ten thousand!"
"no……"
"Five thousand! Just five thousand!"
"that……"
"One thousand! No more! There is a cost to removing spirits!"
Okay, she probably knows the reason why ghosts are rampant here even though it is a "safe area". It's all because the "administrator" is unreliable.
In order to prevent A Ming's spirit removal fee from dropping to three digits, Jin Jing simply took out a thousand-yuan note to stop him from lowering his worth: "I went to the Hakurei Shrine before and spent 100,000 yen to hire a peace minister.
Shou, I only have some change with me now."
"That abominable fox!" A Ming hammered at the wall sadly: "When I get rich, I will also put advertisements on the tourist map, and then charge foreign tourists a high price."
Don't say what's on your mind, besides... fox?
"Look, this is the amulet I invited from Hakurei Shrine." Jin Jing took out the amulet and showed it to A Ming: "Do I still need to 'remove spirits' if I have this?"
"Well... the effect of this thing is indeed better than removing spirits," A Ming looked at Yu Shou seriously: "But the divine power attached to it is limited, and part of it has been consumed now. If it is worn by ordinary people, it should be enough.
Yes, but for someone like you who is prone to 'seeing ghosts', it's not even close."
"Then, I'll help you." Jin Jing handed the note to A Ming.
"Look at it." A Ming took the money, raised his right hand with the beads on it and muttered: "[The Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva is as anxious as the law -]"
...Is the translation function broken? Is this a systematic mantra?
"[Drink!]" After reciting a series of unknown incantations, A Ming suddenly used his black-gloved hand to strike at Jin Jing.
With the sudden hurricane, Jin Jing felt that there was something invisible around her.
However, although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, the status bar of the main god space can still be seen.
[Mark of the Overlord]
[The strongest ghost, the Bagui, leaves a mark on the prey he likes. In order to avoid offending the Bagui, ghosts with insufficient strength will actively avoid the person who carries this mark, but it is just a symbol of ownership.
The mark has no effect on ghosts of similar strength or extremely hungry.】
[This mark will not disappear due to leaving the world, but it will have almost no effect in a world where the name of Bagui does not exist. 】
What kind of hard-core "removal of spirits" is this...
Jin Jing originally wanted to criticize Teacher A Ming, but after thinking about it carefully, this person can easily give the mark of the ghost, and judging from his appearance, he probably really regards this mark as a means of becoming a spirit. Then
, it’s better not to reveal the truth for the time being. If you really provoke that “ghost”, this “safe area” may disappear immediately.
"Hmm... it seems to be very effective," Jin Jing said against her will, and then quickly changed the subject: "I have something to ask Hanako. Do you know which floor she is on?"
"Hanako?" A Ming frowned: "She is in the women's restroom on the third floor. I have persuaded her many times to let her come out to class, but she keeps ignoring me. If you want to go find her, I will go with you.
It’s time to go.”
This teacher is really dedicated... But if you really take her out, which class will she be assigned to?
Soon, Jin Jing and teacher A Ming arrived on the third floor. A Ming was waiting outside, while Jin Jing went straight to the second to last cubicle.
Speaking of which, are you a little too brave?
Squeak——
As the cubicle door was opened, the entire toilet was filled with deep red. Inside the cubicle, a little girl with twin tails wearing a school uniform stained red by blood raised her twisted and terrifying face little by little, and at the same time
, a sound whose source is indistinguishable echoes everywhere.
"[Sister, are you here to play with Hanako? We—ga.]"
When Hanako raised her head completely and met Jin Jing's eyes, the terrifying echo in the toilet stopped abruptly.
The little girl covered in blood stared at Jin Jing, first looking at the guard on her neck, then at her shoulders, and finally at her forehead. Then, Hanako's eyes suddenly burst into tears of blood, and the next moment
, she rushed out of the toilet cubicle directly.
"[Teacher Aming! Hanako is willing to listen to your lecture!]"
[Side mission: Escape from Hanako’s pursuit. (Complete)]
Huh? The number of times of guarding is not consumed?
