"Unless you have the ability, it's impossible to solve it permanently. If you kill one ghost today, you'll still be haunted in the future. You already possess the ability to see another world."
Bai Ye shook his head, expressing sympathy for Miko's plight.
For an ordinary person to have clairvoyance, it was simply a disaster.
She could see ghosts, but couldn't deal with them. Once a ghost discovered she could see them, she would die.
"So, is it a problem with these eyes?"
A bitter smile flashed across Miko's face. In fact, it wasn't just her eyes; she could even hear ghosts talking.
Every time she showed any strange behavior, the terrifying voices of ghosts would appear in her ears, saying, 'You can see me, you can see me.'
"That's right. You should also be aware that those ghosts aren't just as you see them; sometimes they even disguise themselves as humans. If you're not careful, you might talk to them, and if you can't explain yourself, then you're in danger."
"Exactly!" Miko nodded, then quickly asked, "Are you also like me?"
Last time, when she was queuing with Xiaohua, she ended up in the ghost's line. Thinking about that experience, it really sent shivers down her spine.
"No, I can't see ghosts. Unlike you, I need to use other methods."
Without using his abilities or items, Bai Ye couldn't see them, which was slightly different from Miko.
Perhaps this constant clairvoyance was a burden for her, but for the current Bai Ye, it wasn't.
"First, I can deal with ghosts, but I haven't tried dealing with them remotely. I want to use you for an experiment, is that okay? Of course, don't worry, I'll be watching you from the shadows. As soon as you encounter danger, I'll appear immediately to help you get rid of the ghost!"
Bai Ye wanted to use Miko for an experiment to see if the ghosts in this world would be affected by talismans.
Zombie Bai Ye had given him some talismans. If they could work across worlds, then solving Miko's problem would be much simpler.
After all, in terms of killing ghosts, Shinigami's ability was indeed effective, but he wouldn't always be by Miko's side, so the talismans from the Zombie World would be a better choice.
"This..."
Using her for an experiment, huh.
Although she felt something was off, Miko also understood that she seemed to have no choice but to trust Bai Ye.
Lately, she had been driven mad by these ghosts.
She had tried hard to pretend not to see them, but these ghosts were constantly around her. She felt like she had a spirit-attracting constitution.
"Then what should I do?"
"You take this talisman, then find a place with a ghost. You can pretend not to see it and try placing the talisman directly on it."
Saying that, Bai Ye pulled out a talisman and placed it in front of Miko, telling her how to use it.
Looking at the talisman in front of her, Miko pondered for a moment, feeling like it was very similar to a plot she had seen in TV dramas!
And Bai Ye seemed very professional, so she could probably give it a try. She just needed to pretend not to see the ghost, then stick the talisman on it.
Miko secretly cheered herself on. If it worked, she might not have to be afraid of ghosts anymore. It was worth a try!
"Okay!"
Miko only thought for a moment before immediately deciding to agree to Bai Ye's proposal.
"Alright, here you go. Let's go."
Saying that, Bai Ye rubbed ox tears on his eyes.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [The operation has begun. Now we just need to see if the talisman works!]
Power that crosses worlds, huh.
Bai Ye wasn't sure either.
Zombie Bai Ye: [They should all work. After all, the composition of ghosts is pretty much the same in every world, except for Shinigami.]
He wasn't worried; there shouldn't be a big problem.
Biochemical Bai Ye: [If only talismans could deal with zombies!]
After arriving in Raccoon City, although the T-Virus hadn't erupted yet, he felt it was pretty much the same now.
The mansion had already been blown up, and it was highly likely that Marcus's leech virus had also leaked. T-Virus infection in Raccoon City was inevitable. Now he could only go into hiding. His mission was likely a failure.
He still had to obtain the G Virus later.
Since he was already here, he had to get his hands on the G Virus that William was researching.
Naruto Bai Ye: [You wouldn't even need this in your world, would you? Besides, those rocket launchers over there are useless to you!]
The classic rocket launcher from the Biochemical World.
There's nothing that a single rocket launcher can't solve. If there is, then use another one.
Biochemical Bai Ye: [You don't understand. My mission here isn't even over yet, and they've given me another one over there. I'm practically going crazy, but who can blame me for being such a responsible person!]
Although he didn't want to do the mission, his sense of responsibility prevented him from refusing.
After all, since he chose to join the International Criminal Police Organization and undertake missions for world peace, becoming a person in the shadows, he should be prepared.
Pirate Bai Ye: [What mission? Hijacking Ada Wong?]
Biochemical Bai Ye: [If it were that mission, I wouldn't be complaining. It seems they want me to investigate a place called Rex Research Institute. I don't understand it, but it sounds a bit familiar, like I've heard of it somewhere.]
It was another research facility. Bai Ye had noticed that there were an awful lot of research institutes in this world.
And the name gave him a strange sense of familiarity, but he couldn't quite figure out what it was.
Pirate Bai Ye: [It wouldn't be another Umbrella Corporation research facility, would it?]
Since there was an Umbrella Corporation, it wasn't too surprising to have a research facility here.
Biochemical Bai Ye: [I'm not sure. I'll see later. Anyway, once things in Raccoon City are over, I'll go investigate. And recently, I've discovered something very strange: a Tyrant disappeared in front of me, swallowed by a whirlpool, grabbed by something like claws.]
He felt like his world was not far from destruction.
More and more outrageous things were happening.
Zombie Bai Ye: [Am I playing Dead by Daylight?]
Biochemical Bai Ye: [Who knows? Anyway, I'm investigating every day now. Alright, I'm logging off for now, everyone. I'll let you know if anything comes up later, and I won't hesitate to ask for help if I need it!]
With that, Biochemical Bai Ye also went offline.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [You guys are pretty busy. I'll go check out the situation over there too. Report any problems anytime!]
Following Miko, Bai Ye noticed that the magnetic field had changed, and from Miko, there seemed to be a very strange magnetic field that was attracting surrounding ghosts.
No wonder he hadn't seen ghosts before. It turned out he didn't attract ghosts, but Miko, ever since she got her clairvoyance, ghosts seemed to love finding her.
And according to the world rules in 'Mieruko-chan', ghosts haunt people or creatures because of obsessions, parasitism, or other reasons. In short, there needs to be a reason, not just random haunting.
On a swing chair in the park, a small ghost was playing by itself on the swing.
Miko mustered her courage, pretending not to see the little ghost, gripping the talisman tightly. She subconsciously glanced back at Bai Ye, and upon seeing that Bai Ye was still following, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Perhaps, at this moment, only the talisman and Bai Ye behind her were her source of security.
Before, she would have done anything to avoid ghosts, but now she had to face them herself. This was also a challenge for Miko.
Comforting herself that it was okay, Miko gathered her courage and walked in front of the little ghost. The moment Miko approached, the little ghost's neck suddenly stretched, and at the same time, its distorted expression and creepy voice almost made Miko lose her composure. Biting her lip tightly, Miko tried her best to appear as normal as possible.
Pulling out the talisman in her hand, before it even got close, the little ghost felt a very uncomfortable sensation and wanted to escape.
But just as the little ghost made a move to flee, Miko's hand was faster, directly sticking the talisman onto the little ghost's body.
The next second, a burst of flames erupted from the little ghost's body, scorching it. Its miserable scream didn't even last a second, instantly extinguished by the talisman.
The people around them looked normal, as if they hadn't seen this scene, but only Miko, who had been sweating profusely from panic at first, now breathed a long sigh of relief in her heart, realizing that Bai Ye could truly deal with ghosts!
That talisman just now could instantly kill a ghost.
"It seems the talisman is effective, but talismans need to be drawn, and Miko's constitution is quite attractive to spirits. I'm afraid even giving her a few would quickly deplete them.
And to profit from Miko, there are only a few points to start with. Most likely, it's that fox?"
Significant plot changes. Bai Ye, after some previous events, had probably figured out the trick.
"That... is there any more of that talisman? I can buy it!"
Miko quickly ran towards Bai Ye. After dealing with a ghost for the first time, Miko already had the idea of buying a large quantity of talismans from Bai Ye.
"Your problem can't be solved by just buying talismans. Haven't you noticed? No ghosts have come to bother me this whole time, but you keep attracting them. You seem to have been targeted by ghosts!"
That's right!
This was unreasonable!
Miko attracted ghosts, just like Conan's Shinigami constitution. Wherever he went, people died; wherever she went, there were ghosts.
"Then what should I do? Big brother, how about I become your disciple?"
After hearing Bai Ye's words, Miko also realized that her constitution indeed attracted supernatural entities.
It seemed that some talismans really couldn't solve her predicament.
But what could she do?
How about becoming Bai Ye's disciple?
If she could learn the power of these talismans, she wouldn't have to be afraid of ghosts anymore.
"I currently have no intention of taking disciples, and you might not even be able to learn it. First, a talisman costs one million."
"Ah!?"
So expensive!
Miko had originally thought she could afford some, but now it seemed she had overestimated herself.
"And I might not even sell them. Drawing talismans requires a lot of energy. However, my general store currently needs a secretary to help me with various tasks. If you're willing to help me, I can kill some of the ghosts haunting you every day, and also give you one talisman to use when you're in real danger!"
Bai Ye sized up Miko for a moment, then suddenly thought of a problem. He felt he could completely use Miko's spirit-attracting constitution to get some ghosts to kill.
His constitution might not be like Miko's or Shinigami's, where they could attract special things wherever they went.
So, by binding these guys to himself, it would be easier for him to encounter these incidents later. As long as he changed major plot points, there would be rewards. Thinking this way, he should probably get in touch with Conan later.
He should also try to get in touch with the Red Side.
"Eh!?"
Miko had originally planned to grit her teeth and see if Bai Ye would allow her to buy one on credit.
But after hearing Bai Ye's words and seeing his scrutinizing gaze...
He wouldn't be trying to make a move on her, would he?
"Don't misunderstand. I'm not a good person. Bah, I mean, I guarantee on my honor that I'll only have you do secretarial work, and I'm very interested in your constitution. Keeping you by my side is actually just so you can help me attract some ghosts!"
What a perverted reason, indeed.
Miko inwardly complained. Everyone else wanted to stay away from ghosts, but Bai Ye was eager to meet them.
And were you serious about that first sentence?
"But I still need to go to school during the day..."
Miko awkwardly fidgeted with her hands, embarrassed to say.
She still needed to go to school during the day.
"Just come at night."
After Bai Ye finished speaking, Miko's expression changed!
Come at night, and still be a secretary? Are you hiring a secretary or something else?
"I can't do it!"
"You can!"
"No, I haven't done it yet, and I also think that this kind of thing shouldn't be exchanged for that. Although I really want to live, this kind of thing should only happen after developing feelings, right!"
"Huh? You come here to organize my documents, bring me tea and water, maintain the app, and I still need to develop feelings with you? By the way, are you assuming I want to use this to threaten you?"
Bai Ye suddenly realized that Miko might have misunderstood him.
So, they were communicating on different wavelengths.
"Eh?!"
After hearing Bai Ye's words, Miko suddenly looked up at Bai Ye's surprised eyes, and her small face instantly turned as red as a monkey's backside.
Indeed, she had misunderstood him earlier.
Although she did have a strong desire to survive, she didn't want to exchange that for this. She had never been in love before. Before having clairvoyance, she was actually a little girl who longed for love and sweet romance. At least, she wanted to give herself to someone she loved, right?
"I haven't stooped that low. If I needed to rely on a beautiful girl selling her body as a threat, that's not my style!"
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you!"
Miko lowered her head, a hint of shame flashing in her heart. She had thought too lewdly of Bai Ye. How could such an esteemed person have such dirty thoughts?
"It's fine. When will you come wearing a secretary outfit? Remember to wear stockings!"
"..."
