Anime Crossover: My Cheat Code is Myself

Page 152

But when she opened her eyes, Jianzi was surprised to find that she was not being devoured by the black monster.

The entire carriage was clean and tidy, and the evil spirits and winged monsters I had seen earlier had all disappeared, as if I had been hallucinating.

All that remained was the "evil spirit" beside him, who looked no different from an ordinary person but had caused him to be exposed, looking at him with a mocking expression.

Upon closer inspection, he actually looks quite handsome...

No! It was precisely because he was so deceptive that I let my guard down and revealed that I could "see" evil spirits.

Although I don't know why he didn't intend to hurt me.

No! He only escaped physical harm; his spirit has been utterly devastated...

Just to be on the safe side, it's best to pretend you know nothing and ignore it.

Just like they did at the bus stop before, ignore it!

Go for it, Jianzi! You can do it!

After mentally encouraging herself, Jianzi pretended to be tired and yawned.

"Ah~, I think I just fell asleep and had a nightmare. I guess I was too tired from class..."

While talking to himself, Jianzi took out his phone and checked his current location through the bus app.

They haven't even driven that far!?

Seeing the bus's location displayed on the app's map, Jianzi felt a jolt in her heart.

I was worried that I might have missed my stop, but when I looked at my seat, I realized that I was still halfway to the next stop after where I got on the train.

The platform where I wanted to get off was six platforms away from the platform where I wanted to get on.

That is to say-

Am I really going to have to spend almost twenty more minutes with him in the car?!

That's right! Since this isn't the last bus anyway, why not just get off at the next stop and take the next bus?

I can go to the convenience store near the next station to buy new panties.

Feeling the wet, sticky sensation pressed tightly against her buttocks, for some reason, Xia Yan's words kept replaying in Miko's mind.

Feelings of shame and indignation surged within Miko once more.

What do you mean by astringent smell! It's clearly because he's scared that it leaks out...

Thinking of this, Jianzi became even more determined to escape the bus and impatiently pressed the stop button.

"Hoo↗Hoo↘, have you calmed down yet?"

Watching Miko's emotions go through a rollercoaster ride, from the initial joy of discovering a "kindred spirit," to the fear of mistaking someone for someone else, then to despair, then to shame and indignation after 920, and finally to calming down, Xia Yan said with a hint of sarcasm.

Having made up her mind to ignore him completely, Miko naturally paid no attention to Natsuhiko's words.

He scrolled through his phone, oblivious to everything else, while waiting for the bus to stop.

Xia Yan didn't intend to pressure her excessively, after all, humans have their limits. Although he enjoyed teasing Jianzi, excessive exploitation could easily ruin her.

Moreover, constantly scaring her can easily desensitize her to seeing children, raising her threshold for fear responses.

That means it will be difficult to see that funny expression again next time.

Therefore, it's important to make her fully relaxed and sensitive to ghosts and monsters.

Let her have a sweet dream tonight to ease her fears from today...

I'm such a kind person!

Thinking of this, Xia Yan's face showed a satisfied smile.

"What's your name?"

Xia Yan naturally knew Jianzi's name, but he was afraid that saying it directly would frighten her.

Considering that it was her recovery period, it was best not to upset her or cause her to miss seeing her son, so he chose to ask a question.

Jianzi was just looking down at her phone, as if she hadn't heard anything.

Chapter 237 The Redemption of the Bus

"How cold-hearted! I just saved your life..."

Miko's reaction was exactly what Xia Yan had expected, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He simply reached out with a slightly teasing tone, wanting to tap Miko's forehead.

However, when his fingers touched Miko's body, they passed right through her without any resistance.

"Huh!? I can't touch it anymore?" Xia Yan said in surprise, "That's strange, I could definitely touch it just now?"

This time, it really took Xia Yan by surprise.

Some of the skeptical Xia Yan tried it several times, and without exception, he passed right through Jian Zi, as if the two of them could see each other but lived in different times and spaces.

Great! As expected, if we just ignore it, there won't be any contact...

Seeing Xia Yan's hand pass through her body, Jian Zi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and her fingers moved much more nimbly as she scrolled through her phone.

This further strengthened the resolve to implement the strategy of ignoring threats.

"The problem definitely isn't with me. So, is it your fault...?"

Xia Yan tilted his head and looked at Jianzi, who was pretending to play on her phone.

"It's here! The 'Python Trap'!!! A true man among men, the Python Cave Bear!!!"

"Ah, Mr. Kunashir is so wonderful..."

Watching the passionate scene of a strong man locking up another man in the video on his phone, and seeing the slightly monotonous tone of Jianzi's voice, Xia Yan shook his head speechlessly.

"Don't pretend you can't hear me. I can read minds. I can see everything you're thinking."

"Bearded, muscular guys are so cool..."

The reply I received was still delivered in a curt, dismissive tone.

Clearly, she didn't believe what Xia Yan said.

After all, in Miko's eyes, although Natsuhiko did not harm her, he was undoubtedly an evil spirit.

Talking to oneself is just a way of trying to seduce oneself through pretense.

Once I respond, I might find myself in danger again, just like before.

So, just ignore it...

Seeing that Yotsuya Miko was determined to play dead, Natsuhiko shrugged helplessly.

I am completely unchanged from before; that much is certain.

The prerequisite for being able to touch something is being able to perceive it.

The prerequisite for being able to touch is being able to perceive. Obviously, judging from what Miko was thinking, she could see herself and hear her own voice very clearly.

Although I didn't reciprocate with my actions, I still internally criticized my own words and behavior.

The change reflects her attitude towards herself.

Previously, because they didn't know they were evil spirits, they wanted to communicate with themselves and genuinely acknowledged their own existence, so it was possible for them to make contact at that time.

So, is it necessary for the other party to acknowledge your existence before you can make contact?

No, that's not right!

Xia Yan shook his head, denying his own conjecture.

Although Jianzi ignored him, she still acknowledged his existence and was fully aware that he had just saved her.

She could see and hear these were objective realities, and she couldn't deny them.

She simply knew it existed but chose to ignore it.

Pretend that you can't see or hear anything.

What changed was not her thoughts, but the choices she made.

"That is to say..."

"Does the key to whether you can touch it depend on your psychological attitude?" Xia Yan rubbed his chin, striking a pose like a cunning frog that keeps touching your belly.

"If you want to interact with people without malice, do you still need to consider the other person's attitude?"

"If you're thinking of ignoring it and not paying attention, then you can't make contact. But if you do the opposite, or have an indifferent attitude, then you can make contact..."

"What is this!? The wave-particle duality of the ghost!? Schrödinger's ghost!?"

After reaching this conclusion, Xia Yan shook his head speechlessly.

Since Xia Yan didn't just think the final conclusion in his mind, but said it directly, Jianzi heard it very clearly.

At this moment, Jianzi's lips curled up wildly, clearly showing signs of being unable to contain herself.

Fortunately, she could already vaguely see the platform ahead, so she simply stood at the door and waited to get off the train.

Seeing her adorable expression, as if she had gotten the better deal, Xia Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

He stated the conclusion directly, naturally intending it for Miko to hear.

This deduction wasn't something he made up to fool Miko; it was genuinely what he thought. He told Miko to make it more interesting.

Now that Xia Yan had set his sights on Jianzi, he naturally wouldn't let her get away.

Sooner or later, the other party will willingly give themselves to him.

However, Xia Yan wasn't in a hurry to have anything happen between him and Jian Zi.

Telling this information to Miko and watching her outwit her would be quite entertaining.

The bus, which was approaching the platform, slowly came to a stop.

"I see, so you're going to buy new panties..."

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

The dampness between her legs caused her face, which had just calmed down, to flush red again.

I almost blurted out, "How did you know?"
