On the bustling streets, the crowds were interspersed with many grotesque evil spirits; the two sides lived as if in different dimensions, never interfering with one another.
But one girl with long black hair and a short skirt was gritting her teeth, restraining the fear in her heart. Her dark golden eyes reflected the figures of those evil spirits.
The girl's name was Yotsuya Miko. Ever since a certain rainy day, she had been able to see them—she could see these grotesque ghosts and monsters.
Ever since she gained the ability to see these ghosts and evil spirits, her life had become a nightmare, because these spirits were always saying terrifying things like, "You can see me, right? Do you see me? You can see me, can't you?"
Although she didn't know what would happen if she answered, it certainly wouldn't be anything good. Perhaps she would be eaten the moment she replied.
Fortunately, her acting skills were decent. Even if she was scared to death inside, her face wouldn't reveal the slightest expression.
However, she couldn't help her eyes welling up with tears afterward; she had been scared to tears several times already.
"Sigh, why did the world suddenly become like this? Why did I suddenly start seeing them?"
After muttering to herself, Yotsuya Miko lowered her head to play with her phone. Only in this way could she shift her attention away from those evil spirits. She didn't want to lock eyes with them, even though they had no eyeballs, only empty sockets.
Beep beep~
Before long, the sound of a bus suddenly rang out. Hearing this, Yotsuya Miko breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly tucked her phone back into her pocket, and boarded the bus.
Once she was on the bus, she would be fine. Generally, there weren't such things on the bus—well, there definitely weren't. Otherwise, she really would cry.
Fortunately, as she hoped, there were no terrifying evil spirits on the bus.
Quietly letting out a sigh of relief, Yotsuya Miko chose a random window seat and sat down.
But just as the bus reached the next stop, a long-necked evil spirit with four heads, resembling a Rokurokubi, suddenly boarded the bus.
Each of the four heads was uniquely hideous, to the point where one look would cause a person's sanity to drop. Not only that, but the four heads kept chattering incessantly, as if talking to each other or muttering to themselves.
The four-headed spirit first scanned the seats and then walked straight toward Yotsuya Miko.
No way, have I been found out? I clearly didn't show any expression.
Yotsuya Miko suddenly became tense, but her expression remained calm as if she hadn't seen anything.
However, her trembling fingers and the earthquake in her pupils both betrayed the fact that she could see.
It was fortunate that these evil spirits couldn't read micro-expressions. The four-headed spirit only passed by Yotsuya Miko slowly, but it didn't go far, sitting down in the seat right behind her.
I'm saved!
Yotsuya Miko's trembling pupils steadied, and her heart relaxed a little. As long as it wasn't sitting next to her, she shouldn't be exposed.
She had tried piles of salt for warding off ghosts before, but they were useless. She absolutely had to buy a string of Buddhist beads today.
Just as Miko was thinking this, a figure shrouded in black mist suddenly boarded the bus as well. The figure had no arms, only several tentacles swaying everywhere.
Why did another monster get on the bus! So scary!
Seeing another evil spirit board the bus, Yotsuya Miko screamed in despair in her heart, but she didn't dare make the slightest unusual movement, deeply afraid that the other party would discover she could see.
However, her tensed calves and her small hands tightly gripping the cuffs of her hoodie had already betrayed her; it was almost as if the word "afraid" was written directly on her face.
It seemed luck was not on her side today. The tentacled spirit that suddenly boarded also walked toward her with a clear objective.
Seeing this scene, Yotsuya Miko was already screaming and shouting in her heart, "Don't come over here!"
But things didn't go as she wished. The tentacled spirit still walked straight over, then passed her and went to the back.
Seeing that this spirit's target wasn't her either, Yotsuya Miko's heart suddenly relaxed, and she almost broke down in tears.
If she weren't afraid of her abnormality being discovered, she really would have cried.
But just as she had breathed a sigh of relief, a piercing, distorted scream like an old radio suddenly sounded behind her.
It was the voice of that four-headed spirit!
The scream lasted for two or three seconds before gradually disappearing, followed by a scalp-numbing crunching and chewing sound.
Hearing this sound, Yotsuya Miko trembled all over, and she felt terrible. Only she could hear this sound, and it was practically taking years off her life.
A moment later, the eerie sounds from the back seat gradually faded, and only the noisy sounds of other passengers talking on their phones remained on the bus.
After a long time, seeing that nothing was really happening, Yotsuya Miko finally slumped down, wanting to relieve her psychological discomfort. Everything that had just happened was simply torture for her.
"Hmm? Golden Eyes?"
But the next moment, a head shrouded in black mist suddenly emerged from the back of the seat, tilting its head to look into her eyes while muttering unintelligible words.
I'm going to die, I'm going to die!
Yotsuya Miko instantly tensed her heart, not revealing any expression. As long as she acted like she couldn't see, the other party would leave on its own.
This was the experience she had gained from being scared for so long, though if she could, she didn't want this kind of experience at all.
But today, her experience seemed to have failed. That evil spirit was still staring into her eyes.
Xia Yu looked at the girl's golden eyes with a bit of curiosity. This was the first time he had seen such a rare eye color since coming to this world.
Her hair was also the rare long, straight black style. Well, it was indeed rare. This world was like an alternate world, with all sorts of hair and eye colors.
After looking for a moment, Xia Yu suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. A girl with golden eyes, and the four-headed spirit from just now... he seemed to have seen them somewhere.
Where was it?
The girl in front of him seemed to be dazed. After Xia Yu stared for a while, he felt he was just one clue away from remembering.
Being stared at directly, Yotsuya Miko already had goosebumps all over her body. Seeing that the evil spirit was still right in front of her, she had to lift the phone in her hand, intending to distract herself.
The screen lit up, and on the chat window was a message from her friend Yurikawa Hana—a cute rabbit emoji.
This action seemed to make the evil spirit in front of her react as well. The head shrouded in black mist also looked at her phone.
Eek! So scary!
Yotsuya Miko screamed in her heart with a cracking voice. She was already starting to regret it, because this action had caused the evil spirit to practically press itself against her.
Xia Yu, on the other hand, didn't feel anything. After all, he was just a spiritual body and couldn't touch physical objects at all.
Forget about getting close to a beautiful girl; he couldn't even reward himself. Tsk, this damn spiritual body.
Looking at the lit-up screen in the girl's hand, the contact name Little Hana, the rabbit profile picture, and the rabbit emoji sent in the chat.
Xia Yu suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Wasn't this scene exactly from the fifth chapter of the Mieruko-chan manga? So the person in front of him was the female lead, Yotsuya Miko?
No wonder her eyes were dark golden; this was a max-level Yin-Yang Eye.
But hadn't he transmigrated into the game world of Ghostwire: Tokyo? Why was there a manga world? Could it be that this world was a mix of Tokyo's supernatural stories?
Hmm... it was possible. After all, who could say for sure when it came to the matters of the world.
Thinking of this, Xia Yu looked at the female lead again, Yotsuya Miko. Upon closer inspection, her eyes had already begun to moisten.
Tsk tsk, she really is quite erotic.
In the manga, the scenes where Miko was scared to tears were both cute and erotic. He hadn't expected there would be a day he'd see it with his own eyes.
Seeing that the evil spirit still hadn't left, Miko had already begun to wail in her heart. Her tear ducts were about to give way.
I'll write a few chapters first to see. If people don't like it, I won't write it anymore. I quite like this manga, but self-indulgence won't do; after all, self-indulgence easily leads to failure.
