Without any props and no chance for prior preparation, the girl who was standing close by could be sure that the flame on Li Mo's fingertips was definitely not the product of some magic.

Rather, she felt an indescribable sense of crisis from the bean-sized candle flame.

Then, his somewhat sluggish brain finally understood what Li Mo said.

"A-Asakura-kun is, is he the kind of priest who exorcises monsters in the comics?"

Goto Ichiri exclaimed softly.

"That's about right. It's okay if you treat it like this."

No memory would be left anyway, so Li Mo had no intention of explaining.

"Wait, wait a minute! Are you trying to purify Miss Hoshino?"

Although the girl was still shaking, there were some other emotions in her expression.

"Ms. Hoshino? Is that the name of the spirit behind it?"

Li Mo frowned and said, "Don't be fooled by sweet words. Regardless of whether the other party is good or evil, being possessed by a ghost will gradually drain your vitality and eventually cause a serious illness. There are only disadvantages and no benefits... In short, just stand still."

Before Li Mo could make a move, the girl ran away like a little rabbit.

But it was obvious that even ordinary athletes could not react faster than Li Mo. So when the girl ran two steps and thought she was about to escape danger, the guitar bag on her back was grabbed by Li Mo, and it made a sound like a frog being stepped on.

"Hey, don't bully girls in my store,"

At this time, Yidizhi Xingge, who had arrived at STARRY at some point, looked at Li Mo, who was grabbing the girl's guitar bag as if he wanted to refine her in an instant, and said with a displeased expression: "Otherwise, I will have to ask you to leave our store."

Li Mo hesitated for half a second between 'kill the spirit behind Goto Ichiri first, and then instantly refine the memories of Goto Ichiri, Ijichi Seika, and all the people around who might have witnessed this scene' and 'let go of Goto Ichiri's spirit behind Goto Ichiri first, and then find a chance to refine it instantly later', and finally let go of the girl's guitar bag.

The result was beyond Li Mo's expectation. Goto Ichiri's temperament changed again. It seemed that the ghost named Hoshino had attached himself to him again.

Was this a provocation to him? When Li Mo frowned and was about to change to the first option, the girl simply thanked Ichichi Xingge and said that she was not bullied and was just playing around with friends. Then she said to Li Mo: "It's not convenient to chat here. Let's go to the coffee shop outside to have a good chat."

Chapter 174 Don’t worry, the world line is different.

In the cafe, Goto Ichiri... or rather, the girl who calls herself 'Hoshino Ai', stirred her coffee and said thoughtfully: "So where should I start..."

"Let's start with when you plan to leave Ichiri's body."

Li Mo didn't order any drinks. There was only a glass of water in front of him. "I don't believe in becoming a Buddha or anything like that. If you don't want to leave, I can give you a ride."

"You're such a heartless guy! If you were a boy, you'd have a little sympathy for pretty girls. Didn't you just search for my news on your phone? So, I was pretty cute when I was alive, wasn't I~"

Hoshino Ai said with a pout.

To be honest, she is indeed quite cute now, but the cute one is not Hoshino Ai, but Goto Ichiri.

"Have you finished your last words?"

"Because it was spoken after death, it feels more like a dream rather than a last will."

"You really have a big heart."

"If your heart is too delicate, you can't be an idol."

The girl shook her head and said, "At least a third of the letters I received were insults. The words used were eye-opening and I felt like my vocabulary had improved."

"Isn't that just because your education level is too low?"

Li Mo said pointedly: "The news said you didn't even finish high school."

"Is that the only place you pay attention to when you read my news?"

The girl looked a little discouraged.

"Otherwise, looking at your face, you might have had plastic surgery, heavy makeup, or photoshopped?"

Li Mo said nonchalantly, "Or do you think someone like me in the other world would care about other people's appearance?"

"That's really unattractive. I prefer a good kid like Xiao Yili."

The girl played with the spoon and said, "After I told her about my situation, she was clearly terrified at the time, but she still agreed to lend me her body... Such an innocent and pure child is really rare."

"That's just because you're in the entertainment industry, right?"

Li Mo said with a sneer.

Although it is rare to find someone as white as Yili, at least Li Mo feels that the people around him are pretty good.

“Not all people in this circle are bad…”

The girl mumbled hesitantly, but she seemed to have no confidence.

"Oh, sorry, I forgot you haven't debuted yet, and you're not even considered someone in the entertainment industry."

Li Mo patted his head, looking as if he suddenly remembered something.

"Why do you always speak with such sarcasm?"

The girl looked at him helplessly.

"Then why do you feel offended by everything I say?"

Li Mo tapped the desktop lightly: "Don't you think you should look for the reason in yourself?"

"Okay, what do you want to ask?"

Perhaps realizing that Li Mo's patience was almost exhausted if she continued to talk about this and that, the girl said, supporting her cheek.

"When did you leave her body?"

"I do not know."

Hoshino Ai spread her hands in a very lonely manner: "I can probably feel that I still have regrets, but my death was so sudden that I still can't fully remember what my regrets are..."

"If that's the case, forget about it. It's better to make plans for ascension as soon as possible."

Li Mo snapped his fingers, and sparks appeared on his fingertips again.

"Wait a minute, don't be so impulsive..."

The girl was startled and waved her hands hurriedly.

"I'm not interested in playing the 'make up for regrets' game with you, but your existence has already had a real impact on Yili's life. If I resolve it now, there won't be any major aftereffects. But if you drain too much of my life energy, it's hard to say for sure."

The flames on Li Mo's fingertips spread all over his fist, making it look like he was wearing a strange glove. He said frankly, "Even if it's just for Yili, let me use my Flame Fist on you."

He originally thought that the other party would continue to argue, but after he said this, the girl really fell silent. She lowered her head to look at her hands - or rather, Goto Ichiri's body.

After a while, Hoshino Ai sighed and said, "I understand... Then please let me fulfill my last wish and then exorcise me."

"That depends. What is your last wish?"

Li Mo asked: "By the way, if you're planning on telling your former family and friends that you're not dead yet, I advise you not to waste your energy on it."

"My parents are both dead, and I have no family."

The girl said.

"What a coincidence, me too."

Li Mo said as if nothing had happened.

Just because her family members died, do you want me to feel guilty and let her go?

Not to mention my parents in this life, I was an orphan in my previous life. Before I got phosphophyllite, I was on the verge of starvation every day. How the hell can you be worse off than me?

"Then you should understand, right? The feeling of wanting to be loved by someone."

The girl said softly, "Although there are slight differences, Ichiri has a similar wish in her heart, which is why she resonates with me. So, just lend me your body."

No, I think it's just that I'm too socially anxious to say no, Li Mo thought.

"So you became an idol?"

Li Mo suppressed the urge to complain and didn't intend to give the other party any good face.

"That's right. I wanted to be the center of attention and be loved by everyone. That's why I became an idol! It's a pity..."

The girl sighed. "Most fans of underground idols are just fans because they're good-looking. That's not to say it's bad, after all, the industry's survival depends on them. But it really sucks to be constantly stared at as if every inch of your skin is being carefully licked..."

"So what exactly is your wish? You're not saying you want to use Ichiri's body to become an idol, are you?"

Li Mo asked.

"Of course not. Although this is fun, you won't allow it, right?"

The girl smiled slyly, then her face became calm again as if she was reminiscing about something. "I have a little fan, her name is Tendoji Sarana, she often writes to me... It's strange, isn't it? As underground idols, it's almost impossible for our live performances to appear on TV. She can probably only watch our performances through videos on various video websites, but the girl said she likes me very much and hopes to meet me one day and be someone who stands by my side..."

"But the child seemed to have some serious illness... She stayed in the hospital the whole time and was unable to attend my handshake meeting until the very end."

The girl looked at Li Mo seriously and said, "So, even if it's just once, I want to meet that child, the one whose letter alone can make me feel true love."

——The following words are not counted——

Don't worry, this is the world line where Liuhua is a girl, and it is definitely different from the normal world line.

In this world, Kamiki Hikaru has been fucked to death by a rich woman with a steel wool, and has nothing to do with Hoshino Ai from the beginning to the end. There was no conspiracy in Hoshino Ai's murder, it was just bad luck. The time of her death was much earlier than in the original work, and she had not even made her official debut, so it was impossible for her to meet Kamiki Hikaru in the troupe. Since she was not pregnant, she naturally had no connection with Amemiya Goro, and the other party would not be so unlucky as to be killed and reincarnated as Aqua, or that ordinary obstetrician and gynecologist.

Chapter 175: Enchantment.

Faced with the girl's sincere plea, Li Mo couldn't help but hesitate.

If the opponent was a monster like Yama no Kane who could not communicate, or a villain at first glance, he would have no psychological burden in burning it, and might even feel a little refreshed. But now the opponent not only showed no malice, but also promised to burn Goto Ichiri's body immediately after the wish was fulfilled. In this case, even if Li Mo took action, it would not be so easy.

But after thinking for a long time, Li Mo shook his head.

"No, after all, it's still——"

"I, I'm also leaving Asakura-san in charge!"

Before Li Mo could finish his refusal, Goto Ichiri, who had obviously regained control of his body, slammed his head heavily on the table, making a dull "dong!" sound that was painful just by hearing it.

She probably wanted to bow or get up, but she didn't consider that she was sitting in a booth, so she did this.

There weren't too many customers in the cafe during this time, but with the staff included, the many gazes coming at him still made Li Mo feel creepy.

He glared at those people a few times, and they stopped looking at him.

Although there are exceptions, the vast majority of Japanese people who grew up in an environment of "reading the air" are actually quite indifferent by nature. Otherwise, school bullying would not be so prevalent. It has even become a universal reason to explain the psychological abnormalities of most villains. From this perspective, it is not an exaggeration to regard it as a kind of distorted culture of the island nation.

"I've always been alone, without any abilities, and unable to offer any help. Even with my best guitar skills, I couldn't achieve a satisfying performance with Senior Hongxia and the others... But, but even with me like this, Miss Hoshino can understand... and become my friend... If I can be of any help to Miss Hoshino..."

Even though her forehead must have been painfully hit, the girl still didn't look up. Perhaps she felt that if she looked up and saw Li Mo's face, the courage she had finally mustered would slip away due to her introverted and timid personality. She just shrank back and tried to convey what she was thinking: "Then it doesn't matter if I take this body with a radius of 300mm... I, this is what I think."

Li Mo looked at the girl in surprise.

He had always thought that Goto Ichiri was a rather timid child. Although she might have quite rich psychological activities and desire for certain things, such as friendship, attention, honor, etc., the motivation provided by this degree of desire could not break through the thick barrier called "introversion" outside her heart, so the girl's past life had not changed at all. Perhaps for her, learning to play the guitar and bringing it to school was already her greatest effort.

She doesn't want to confide in anyone, and she interprets the communication intentions of others in the most distorted and pessimistic way. If it weren't for the archangel Hongxia whose warm care can reach her heart, or the weirdo Yamada Ryo whose communication style is so contemptuous that he doesn't care about any pessimistic interpretation, it would probably not be so easy to open the girl's heart.

But at this moment, she took the initiative to break through the thick wall of her heart and tried her best to convey her thoughts to Li Mo.

"Ugh……"

In response to this, Li Mo could only sigh helplessly: "Since this is what you, as the victim, expect, then let it be."

“Really? Really?!”

The girl raised her head with a look of surprise. The spot on her forehead had indeed turned red. She would probably have to apply ice to it when she got home, otherwise it would swell up again.

"But it only lasts until that guy gets his wish... What's your experience like with her in the other place?"

Li Mo asked.

The girl's face showed a confused look of not being able to understand.

"Okay, let's put it another way. Who has the initiative to change between you two?"

Li Mo rubbed his temples and asked again.

"do not know……"

The girl timidly whispered, "When I feel the urge, it pops up all of a sudden..."

Li Mo pondered.

From what Goto Ichiri said, in the situation between her and Hoshino Ai, it seems that whoever has the urge to "do something" or the greater desire for action will find it easier to control the body's actions?

"This is not okay."

Li Mo said decisively: "The initiative must be in your hands, Yili."
