Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 21 Conservation of Energy
"Sorry, I refuse."

"As an ordinary college student, I just want to live an ordinary life and don't want to be too involved in these things."

Hearing the words "Seal the Evil God", Xia Fan shook his head like a rattle, putting emphasis on words like "ordinary" and "ordinary".

[Faith value +1...Faith value +1...Current accumulated faith value 153...]

As "Sakura" reached the top, even at midnight, the "oracle" of increased faith value continued to emerge in my heart.

"Wait, why is my faith value so much less?"

Xia Fan suddenly discovered that his faith value, which had originally accumulated to more than a thousand, had been reduced to one tenth of its original value.

"Is it because of the descent of God? No, the faith value did not decrease after the descent of God. When exactly did it happen... I remember it was when we dealt with the 'Toilet Paper Lady' on that slope!"

"So that's how it is. Even for gods, exorcising evil spirits requires consuming faith. The law of conservation of energy is true!"

After carefully searching his memories, Xia Fan confirmed the reason for his decreased faith, and a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

"Your thoughts are the same as most folk psychics. You are unwilling to cooperate with official organizations, which is understandable."

Not noticing Xia Fan's distraction at all, Jinguji Aoi continued to persuade him sincerely.

"I know that with your ability, you naturally don't care about the monthly subsidy of 1 million yen from the Exorcist Association. But judging from your secret exorcism, you must have a kind heart of 'if you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world'..."

"...Join us, you will not be bound by mandatory tasks, and you can use official information and privileges to better cover up your daily identity while exorcising ghosts."

After all, the strength Xia Fan displayed on that ramp was far beyond all the psychics she knew.

Perhaps, only in the Heian-kyō era thousands of years ago, when a hundred demons paraded at night, did the legendary Onmyojis possess such power.

With his assistance, the Psychic Association and Lesson 9 would be able to avoid many casualties in the future.

"What? One million... Privileges... Free to exorcise ghosts..."

A series of key words drew Xia Fan's attention back.

"Okay, I'll join."

He nodded without hesitation.

"what?"

This caught Aoi Jinguji, who was still trying to appeal to her emotions and reason with her, off guard.

"Are there any formalities required?"

"No formalities are necessary. You can just register with the Exorcist Association and the Ninth Class. We will keep your identity confidential."

Xia Fan’s idea is very simple.

If one wants to gain faith and exchange health and abilities with the God of Heaven, this will inevitably make the power of this evil god stronger.

"Tian Yu Shen" solved the problem of the toilet paper girl. It seemed easy on the surface, but it actually consumed all the faith he had accumulated from the popularity of his new song in recent days.

In other words, although the evil spirit is terrible, it is the only known way to consume the faith in this evil god and delay the "illegal invasion" of one's own body.

Cooperating with the Psychic Association and Lesson 9 not only earns you a good salary, allows you to easily find evil spirits to consume your faith, and also provides you with the opportunity to learn other ways to fight against evil gods.

The only risk he took was exposing the evil god in his body, so the benefits outweighed the disadvantages.

What's more, if one day in the future, Tian Yu Shen completely replaced himself, he could at least try to notify Lesson 9 in advance to prevent the situation from escalating to an unmanageable level.

"Regarding this incident and the one in Ikebukuro, your ninth class should have complete investigation materials. Please share a copy with me."

After pondering for a moment, Xia Fan made another request.

Having encountered cult scams and toilet paper girls one after another, and next time he will be exposed to other "dirty things" that will consume his faith, he must learn the basic common sense about these supernatural beings in advance.

"No problem. As a consultant for Lesson 9, you have the right to apply to access these materials, and someone will send them to you later." Jinguji Aoi agreed respectfully.

"If it's okay, I'll go first."

"Of course, I will contact you again if there is any situation in the future."

After exchanging contact information with Aoi Jinguji, Xia Fan opened the tailgate of the ambulance and found himself next to the ramp, only about a hundred meters away from the student dormitory.

There were several ambulances and police cars parked nearby, rescuing detectives who had their mouths stuffed with toilet paper and were unconscious from suffocation.

"Mr. Xia Fan's personality is so straightforward and free and easy. I admire it very much."

Watching Xia Fan's figure disappear down the slope, Jinguji Aoi's face turned slightly red.

……

"Really? What a messy night... hiccups..."

Dragging his tired body back to the dormitory, Xia Fan felt his abdomen was extremely full.

"This Tian Yu Shen is so reckless. Not only did he eat so much food willfully, he also used up all my living expenses for a week!"

He took out a stomach-strengthening and digestion-promoting tablet from the drawer, put it in his mouth and chewed it, then glanced at the balance in his PayPal account with heartache.

"Hey, hey, you god who entered someone else's body so casually, come out and speak!"

Thinking of the powerless feeling of losing control of his body, Xia Fan looked fiercely at the dressing mirror, but there was only himself with an angry face.

"Oh, I still have one more 'Prayer', maybe I can use it...how can I use it..."

Xia Fan clasped his hands in front of his chest and closed his eyes in prayer without any sincerity.

"Um, God Tian, ​​I am praying to you here, please cure my brain tumor and let me recover my health!"

He silently recited his wish in his heart.

"I already know your wish."

The moment he closed his eyes, Tian Yushen, with black hair, black pupils and black robe, appeared in front of Xia Fan with an expressionless face.

"Your brain disease has been temporarily alleviated by me. If you want to cure it completely, it involves subverting fate and cause and effect, and you need more faith."

"Of course, if you use more decisive means, this faith can be obtained in just one battle."

Her figure flickered slightly, her voice was intermittent, and she seemed a little weak.

"No, I will only use my own way to gain faith."

Xia Fan shook his head decisively.

"Hmph, as faith increases, my divine power will also revive. It is only a matter of time before I descend again and conquer the world myself."

The corner of Tian Yushen's mouth curled up in disdain.

"Your 'God's Descent' only lasts for one hour, and it will be consumed if it encounters an evil spirit. It can't last long. Also, you didn't do anything bad to those people at the night market. Instead, you took care of a lot of business..."

"The reason you came here today is because you noticed that the Toilet Paper Girl had set her sights on me, and you wanted to take action to get rid of her first, right?"

Xia Fan looked at her without any fear and asked seriously.

Having shared the memories of the "God's Descent", and based on the fact that the Ame no God "failed to get out of the snack street in his first step to conquer the world", he naturally knew the other party's true intentions.

“Tsk, eliminating the opponent in advance is the way to win the war of faith. Why should I explain to a mere mortal what I want to do?”

“Tenmi-shin” turned his face away indifferently.
