A journey into an infinite dimension

"Yes, yes! It's very rude, but please."

The girl who was recognized by Yukisaki (Kaya) and invited to communicate was overjoyed and bowed deeply to Yukisaki (Kaya) and said excitedly.

"My name is Aikami Yuuri, Class 1-C."

"Hoshi no Hana Yukisaki, Class 1-A."

Chapter 252: Title: I will use this talisman...

"Absolutely not! You should think twice about bringing home a girl you just met, miss!"

"Nothing to think twice about."

"After all, this was your first meeting with her, so why did you accept her confession?"

"She's not confessing, so go buy something quickly."

"But----"

"Rena?"

"Oh, yes..."

Just like that, after communicating with Reina like this, Yukisaki (Kaya) successfully brought Aigami Yuri back home.

But of course she wouldn't do anything strange to Yuri, she was just discussing business.

"Sit wherever you like."

With Ningning's greeting, Yukisaki (Kaya) brought Yuri into the reception room, put down her schoolbag, and signaled Yuri not to feel restrained.

"I don't know why, but there are no evil spirits haunting my house, so don't be afraid."

Judging from the frequency with which Yukisaki (Kaya) encountered vengeful spirits on the streets, it was obviously not normal that she had not encountered a single vengeful spirit in the huge Hoshinoka family.

Yukisaki [Kaya] doesn't believe that vengeful spirits have the restriction of 'not being able to enter the house without an invitation', so it can only be said that the Hoshinoka family is abnormal.

"Yes."

Although Yukisaki (Kaya) said so, perhaps because it was her first time at a friend's house, Yuri's behavior was still a little restrained overall.

"Let's get straight to the point. You came to see me specifically, it shouldn't just be because we're the same kind."

Seeing this, Yukisaki (Kaya) didn't say anything more, but slowly sat down on the sofa opposite Yuri and got straight to the point.

"Xingzhihua-san, is there any way to remove this ability of mine? I'm tired of this. I can't even sleep or bathe peacefully. I have to force myself to stay calm when I see anything. Sometimes I get harassed because I can sense someone's gaze, and I have to live in fear every time I respond to someone who speaks to me."

Taking a deep breath, Youli gently covered her head, and said with a hint of crying in her voice as she collapsed.

"I see it in my quilt when I wake up; I see it on my plate when I eat; I see my path blocked on my way to school; I see my blackboard blocked during class. I've really, really had enough!"

Perhaps it was because she hadn't found anyone to talk to yet, at this moment Yuri didn't care at all that Yukisaki (Kaya) was just a stranger whom she had just met for less than an hour. She was just venting hysterically, pouring out the depression and despair that she must never tell anyone on a normal day.

Not all people with special abilities can be happy. In some cases, even if they have abilities that are different from others, the ending will only lead to a ruined daily life.

Is the original owner's mental state similar to Yu Li's at this moment?

Yukisaki (Kaya) thought silently.

The original owner's heterochromia was probably congenital. In other words, he had been watching horrific things that ordinary people could not see since he was a child, and he could not tell anyone or confide in anyone.

Even though you may have gotten used to it, you can probably still imagine the pressure that has accumulated in your heart.

So Yukisaki (Kaya) thought that bringing Yuri back was probably the right thing to do.

However, we still need to solve the current situation first.

"...I'm sorry, my emotions got a little out of control for a moment."

She let out a light breath, then raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said apologetically to Yukisaki (Kaya).

"It's okay, I understand."

Shaking her head, Yukisaki (Kaya) looked at Yuri and spoke softly.

"As for Lan Shen-san, I'm sorry I can't help you with the ability to eliminate it."

Maybe the system will have a way, but the exchange points are a problem, and she is planning to help the original owner find a similar person. If she wants to eliminate it, she has to eliminate the abilities of both people.

However, this matter still depends on the original owner's own wishes.

And, again, the exchange point is a problem.

"However, I can at least help you reduce some of the harassment and entanglement you face."

"Really, really?!"

Hearing these unexpected words, Youli stood up subconsciously and looked at the cold girl in front of her with surprise and disbelief.

"But it can only be reduced slightly, so don't have too high expectations."

Nodding, Yukisaki [Kaya] put her hand into the schoolbag beside her, and then took out a few Hakurei talismans that she and Cong Yumaru had bought that morning, seemingly from the inside of the schoolbag, but actually from the system backpack.

I originally intended to use it as a backup and give it to the original owner as an apology for protection, but I didn't expect it to be useful here.

Because the Hakurei Talisman is a kind of amulet, it contains a small amount of spiritual power and can be used even by ordinary people without any special abilities.

However, because of this, ordinary people can only bring out the original effectiveness of the talisman to exorcise some low-level monsters. Only people with spiritual power can, as the system introduces, exorcise higher-level monsters by inputting spiritual power into the talisman.

According to Yukisaki (Kaya)'s observation, most of the vengeful spirits commonly seen on the road are just low-level creatures. Even Yuri can exorcise them with the power of talismans.

However, if you encounter some high-level things, it will be a bit risky.

Although the quality gap can be made up if there are enough talismans, Yukisaki (Kaya) is not a saintly person and it is impossible for her to give all the talismans to Yuri.

Humans are selfish, and she is no exception.

"There are twenty-five talismans here. Each of the twenty talismans can exorcise low-level vengeful spirits, those that don't have much black energy around them and don't feel too cold."

Put the talismans on the table, and then divide them into two groups according to the number of 20 and 5 respectively, Yukisaki (Kaya) explained.

"Then there are the five cards here. They can exorcise any vengeful spirit, no matter how high its level. However, the side effect is that they will make a lot of noise, attracting both visible and invisible people, as well as surrounding vengeful spirits."

Among these twenty-five talismans, twenty are ordinary Hakurei talismans, and the remaining five are made by Yukisaki (Kaya) through the spiritual grid to turn the spiritual power contained within into "infinity".

Although it is still a Hakurei Talisman in essence, it can also be understood as a Hakurei Talisman that has been infused with a large amount of spiritual energy by the user.

However, although the spiritual power contained in the talisman is "infinite", the talisman itself is a consumable item and will not have any effect if it is not used up. Therefore, even if it has "infinite" spiritual power, it can only burst out "infinite" power in an instant, and cannot be used "infinitely" times.

Because the "infinity" bestowed by the spirit on things is conceptual rather than actual, there is no problem of capacity limitation.

"No, no, no, I can't accept these things!"

Although she didn't quite understand the true value, she knew that these things were very valuable, so Youli waved her hands and refused.

Anything that can exorcise those evil spirits must be very valuable. If I take it away, Xing Zhihua will not be able to use it.

Although she was also annoyed by those vengeful spirits and wanted to completely annihilate them, it was precisely because of this that Yuri could empathize with the feelings of Yukisaki (Kaya), who could also see them.

Therefore, she couldn't let Yukisaki (Kaya) lose or reduce this means of reducing the number of times she was harassed because of her.

"I'll take it if I give it to you. Since you're the only one of your kind I've met."

Glancing at Yuri, sensing her current emotions, Yukisaki (Kaya) spoke calmly with a faint curve at the corner of her mouth.

"Also, these things were made by a friend of mine, so you don't need to worry about me not having any to use."

"but......"

Yuri seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Yukisaki (Kaya) before she could say anything.

"Using the talisman is very simple. Just throw it out. The talisman will automatically be attracted to the nearest vengeful spirit. As long as it can touch the vengeful spirit, it will be effective."

"However, be careful if you use it on the road, because although others can't see the evil spirit, they can see the talisman."

"Typically, the talismans should be placed in a convenient place for storage, and the two types of talismans should be separated, otherwise it will just be a waste."

Pushing the talisman in front of Yuri, Yukisaki (Kaya) said lightly.

"Also, if you want to try out the effects, I can provide you with an extra ordinary talisman to experiment with."

"...No, that's not necessary. I trust Xing Zhihua-san."

Looking at Yukisaki's attitude, she knew that she would not allow herself to refuse, so after a long silence, Yuri solemnly picked up the talisman and placed it in front of her chest, then stood up and bowed sincerely to Yukisaki.

"Thank you very much, Xing Zhihua. If you have any requests in the future, please feel free to tell me. I will do my best for you no matter what, even if it means my death."

Although the tone of the words was very calm, the emotions that Yukisaki (Kaya) sensed from Yuri made her understand the determination and seriousness behind Yuri's words.

Is this the level of gratitude I received just for providing some means to exorcise evil spirits? It seems I underestimated the despair in the hearts of these ordinary people with the ability to see.

Yukisaki (Kaya), who has lived in an uncommon world since childhood and does not understand some things in the common sense world, couldn't help but think.

Chapter 253: Running away to play with the cursed spirit

This thing is really big.

Looking at the terrifying cursed spirit in front of him, whose height alone was as big as a three-story house, Kaya [Yukisaki] thought silently.

After arriving at the scene with Gojo Satoru on the express train of law, Kaya (Yukisaki), who was a little dizzy, raised her head and was attracted by the thing in front of her the first time she looked up.

Although according to Kakuya, ordinary people cannot see cursed spirits, perhaps because Kaya (Yukisaki) has been able to see things that others cannot see since he was a child, he can see them very clearly at this moment.

It was so clear that he could even count the number of fangs in the cursed spirit's mouth.

And because of this, Kaya (Yukisaki) felt a fear and trepidation that was different from the fear and trepidation brought by the vengeful spirits that she had seen since she was a child.

Have these people been fighting this kind of thing all the time?

Glancing at Gojo Satoru and the others beside him, Kaya (Yukisaki) couldn't help but think.

This world is much more cruel than his original world.

Although there are similarly visible "kindred spirits", the desire to attack of cursed spirits is even stronger than that of vengeful spirits.

If vengeful spirits only attack people who can see them and their enemies in life, then the targets of cursed spirits are humans.

All human beings.

"Roar!!!"

Yes, just like now.

Looking at the huge cursed spirit roaring and rushing towards him, although Kaya [Yukisaki] appeared calm on the surface, he was actually engulfed by the fear in his heart, to the point where he couldn't even move a finger.

[Although he was petrified, his performance was pretty good.]

At this moment, the voice of Ge Jiuye that sounded in his consciousness was like grabbing a life-saving straw for Jiaye (Xuesaki), and he broke free from the quagmire of instinctive fear in an instant.

Miss Ge Jiuye, what should I do?

[In a crisis, master Jiaye's power and fight back, or be killed—even though I want to say this, I don't want to see Jiaye being killed, even if it's just his body.]

Shrugging his shoulders, Kakuye sighed helplessly, and then said this to Kaye (Yukisaki).

【You don’t have to do anything, just stand there. 】

[Also, while it's optional to close your eyes, we suggest you get used to this fear as soon as possible. It's not good to always be a coward.]

Kaya [Xuesaki], who had felt cold all over after hearing the first half of Kakuyo's words, didn't know what Kakuyo was going to do. However, he was provoked by the word "coward" and suppressed the fear in his heart. He opened his eyes wide and stared directly at the cursed spirit attacking him.

He believed that even if Ge Jiuye didn't care about his life or death, he would never allow the original owner's body to be killed like this.

perhaps.

But even if he escaped, it was too late, so he could only try his best to use the strong mentality he had cultivated since childhood and suppress the instinct to leave the place.

Although his legs miraculously did not tremble, he still had to watch a monster that was as tall as three stories and had a disgusting and hideous appearance rushing towards him. This feeling is probably something that most people will never experience in their lifetime.

This feeling of oppression, this almost suffocating fear, stimulated Kaya's will and thinking to the extreme.

————At this moment, he felt as if everything around him had turned into a slow-motion movie clip, whether it was the cursed spirit rushing towards him, Gojo Satoru's expression of waiting to watch the show, the eyes and expressions of those sorcerers around him, and even the white clouds above his head, the falling leaves, and the strong wind blowing across his cheeks.

Everything seemed so slow and clear at this moment. Jiaye (Xuesaki) could even subconsciously predict which limb of the cursed spirit would move next, what kind of arc that limb would draw, how far it would step, where it would land, and so on.

It was as if there was a supercomputer hidden in the brain that analyzed and calculated all the data, and then fed all the information back to Kaya (Yukisaki).

This is an indescribable wonderful feeling, as if one has gained a way of observing the world that is different from the five senses. If one has to describe it, it is like entering the microscopic world from the macroscopic world.

Kaya (Yukisaki) had never imagined that there was someone who could see such a world in reality, let alone that this person would be him.

【Welcome to the world of the strong. 】

Kakuye's voice, with a hint of a faint smile, suddenly awakened Kaye [Yukisaki] who was immersed in this touching feeling, and also made him realize that even if his way of observing the world had changed, it did not mean that the current crisis would be resolved.
