"Ah? Oh, this..."
Miyamizu Mitsuha came back to her senses, looked at the scenery passing quickly outside the window, and murmured back.
"The Shinkansen can't go directly to the town. After all, it's a town in the mountains. When you get to the station, get off the train and walk a few hundred meters forward. There is a platform with buses running to and from the town."
"walk slowly."
Ye Xing nodded seriously and added.
"I didn't hear a word you said. Just lead the way."
"Eh? I lead the way? But..."
Looking at Miyamizu Mitsuha who looked at a loss, Ye Xing complained.
"I think you don't understand the current situation at all. You are just a spirit now."
"what!?"
Miyamizu Mitsuha's face changed, she stood up suddenly, looked down at her hands, and said in disbelief.
"I am dead?"
"You're not dead, you're just helping to lead the way. When we get back to Itomori Town, you can return to your body."
Having said that, Ye Xing pointed to the other passengers in the carriage.
"You were yelling just now, did anyone notice you? This is because ordinary people cannot observe spirits."
Miyamizu Mitsuha was stunned for a moment, looking at Yexing and Amano Haruna in front of her.
"Then why can you two...see me?"
Hearing this question, Amano Haruna was also stunned.
She suddenly realized something.
Yes, why can I see Mitsuha Miyamizu as a spirit and those red threads floating in the air?
Although she has the ability to control the weather to clear up or bring heavy rain, she is not a true psychic like Rio Futaba, Miko Yotsuya and others who have awakened the ability to materialize their souls.
Then why was it that he could... in Rio Futaba's words, "observe"?
"Because we are psychics, stand users, exorcists, onmyojis, pioneers in the fight against the weird, owners of personality mask abilities, lifelong enemies of the famous sword of Sakura Province, the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, the Genin of Konoha Village, users of devil fruits, holders of Zanpakuto..."
"It doesn't matter how you interpret it, as long as you know that we are not considered ordinary people."
Miyamizu Mitsuha was stunned by what she heard.
However, as someone who came from a family of shrine maidens, her ability to accept such things is obviously much higher than that of ordinary people.
Looking at the current situation, it is possible that I have been summoned by God.
The purpose is to...
Lead the way for the two people in front of you and welcome them into Xishou Town.
Miyamizu Mitsuha had mixed feelings, but from what Yohoshi said, it seemed that they had reached some kind of deal with the gods that had been worshipped in their family shrine for generations, and it also concerned the safety of the entire Itomori Town, so she couldn't care about those things at this moment.
"Okay, I'll lead the way for you."
Just as Mitsuha Miyamizu finished her words, she suddenly saw the sky outside the window become dim.
The rain was falling on the ground. Even though I couldn't hear the sound through the window, I could still imagine the sound of the rain.
Moreover, the rain was getting heavier at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"This is..."
Amano Haruna frowned slightly and whispered to Yexing.
"I didn't do this."
"I know."
Ye Xing placed his right arm there, supporting half of his face with one hand, as if he was sitting in the classroom of Sobu High School, looking out the window and chuckling.
"It seems that they are getting impatient."
Amano Haruna knew that what Yexing was referring to was the god who controlled the weather, and she couldn't help but look worried.
"You can still laugh?"
“This is something to be happy about.”
"It's worth being happy about? Are you being abstract again?"
"Not this time."
Ye Xing smiled and shook his head, then spoke slowly.
"He is getting anxious, which means that our target is indeed inside Shishou Town. He is just struggling desperately. There is no need to worry about him."
Amano Haruna sighed slightly, thinking that it would be fine if it was just an ordinary person who was desperate.
But now the desperate one is a truly powerful being who can affect the weather of the entire Sakura Province, no matter whether he is called a god or an evil spirit.
Will this kind of existential hostility simply result in a rainstorm?
Amano Haruna's heart felt increasingly heavy.
........
After the train arrived at the platform, Amano Haruna looked at the remote environment around her and the vast expanse of wasteland not far away that seemed to have no end, and she was completely dumbfounded.
"Is this...Itomori Town more remote than this place?"
Miyamizu Mitsuha patted Amano Haruna's shoulder and said with emotion.
"It's normal for someone like you who comes from a big city to feel uncomfortable at first."
Miyamizu Mitsuha sighed, a complicated look in her eyes, and muttered to herself.
“Even I haven’t gotten used to it yet…”
Looking at the continuous heavy rain outside the platform, Mitsuha Miyamizu frowned and looked at Yexing and Amano Haruna.
"It's very dangerous to drive on the mountain road in such heavy rain. The bus to town must have stopped. What should I do now?"
"What a hassle..."
Ye Xing had a somewhat lazy look on his face as he muttered to himself.
"It would be nice if Futaba was here. I haven't thought about this for a long time. It's too much trouble."
Then, he looked at the increasingly severe rain outside the platform and spoke in a calm tone.
"Based on that guy's ability, there is absolutely no problem in maintaining this scale of heavy rain for a day, or even four or five days in a row."
Having said that, Ye Xing asked Miyamizu Mitsuha.
"Under such heavy rain, can your Itomori Town's road to the outside world hold out for so long?"
"this..."
Miyamizu Mitsuha thought about it and finally shook her head.
"I'm not sure, but as far as I know, Itomori Town has never seen such heavy rain. If it continues for a long time, the roads leading to the outside world will definitely be cut off. There is a possibility of something even more serious..."
Miyamizu Mitsuha looked into the distance at the mountains looming at the end of her field of vision, and said with a worried look on her face.
"If a rainstorm of this magnitude lasts for four or five days, or even just one or two days, there is a high probability that it will cause flash floods. By that time, it will not just be a matter of road closures."
"I think the same as you."
Ye Xing nodded, and then spoke to the empty air beside him.
"You guys, it's time to come out and think of a solution, right? If Itomori Town is destroyed by a flash flood before the meteorite lands, then what you're doing will be meaningless, right?"
As if in response to him, the red strands of silk appeared again and quickly formed a sentence.
"My strength is not in this area. I am capable of protecting the area near Itomori Town, but if I do that, I might not be able to give you the answer you want because I will consume too much strength."
"is it?"
Ye Xing nodded without comment. He did not think that this god, who had always been friendly and protected Itomori Town, was deliberately pretending to be weak.
What the other party said is most likely true.
Are the gods of Itomori Town strong?
In a sense, very strong.
After all, he was able to allow two humans in different timelines to exchange bodies, and thereby changed the fate of the destruction of Itomori Town and saved thousands of human lives. His merits were immeasurable.
But when it comes to interfering with reality, the other party is completely not on the same level as the evil god who controls the weather of the entire Sakura Province.
Think about it from another perspective.
He is the god of Itomori Town, and cannot have such a serious impact on reality like the evil god who controls the weather...
Or will it become a so-called evil god only if it has an impact on reality and endangers human life?
Ye Xing decided to leave this question to Chaoliang Society's top staff officer Futaba Rio to think about.
Be a little lazy if you can, it doesn’t matter anyway.
"but!!!"
Although the red thread could not make any sound, judging from the sudden increase in the speed of the speech and the three exclamation marks following the sentence, it was clearly expressing an excited tone of voice that suddenly changed the subject.
"If at this moment, there is a hero, a truly powerful, handsome, perfect, supreme, chosen hero..."
While the red line was forming this sentence, it was also silently forming a human-shaped pattern wearing a coat and a mask next to it, as if hinting at someone present.
"If there is such a hero who is willing to put in a little effort and consume the enemy's strength on the way to Itomori Town, I can dispel all abnormalities near Itomori Town and retain enough strength to help this hero!"
Seeing such a long paragraph and the pattern formed next to it, Amano Haruna was speechless. She looked at Ye Xing beside her and curled her lips.
"Look, people are talking to you. They've praised you to the skies. Give me some response, Mr. Supreme Chosen Hero?"
Under the expectant and curious gazes of Amano Haruna and Mitsuha Miyamizu, Ye Xing did not hesitate for a moment. He just looked at the red line floating in the air and said with a smile in his voice.
"In other words, as long as I eliminate all obstacles on the way to Itomori Town, it will be equivalent to weakening that guy's power, and you can regain the initiative in this area, right?"
"As expected of you, you understood what I meant in an instant. I admire your amazing wisdom from the bottom of my heart. It's just like..."
Ye Xing raised his hand and stopped the red thread that was dancing rapidly in the air, trying to flatter him.
"That's enough. You licked too much. I want to eat you too."
"Sorry, I was wrong."
Looking at the words formed by the red line, which were full of humbleness and abstraction, Mitsuha Miyamizu's mouth twitched involuntarily. Her eyes were very complicated and she didn't know how to comment.
My own mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law's mother-in-law, the gods worshipped by so many generations of shrine maidens in the Miyamizu family, is this their image?
Reminiscent of the rituals of the Miyamizu Shrine over the generations and the traditional solemn rituals of the shrine maidens worshipping the gods...
There is an abstract sense of dissonance, similar to Wu Dalang's three fights against the White Bone Demon and Prime Minister Cao's outsmarting Lin Daiyu.
At the same time, Miyamizu Mitsuha couldn't help but feel a little curious about Ye Xing, whom she had only met for the second time today.
What kind of ability does the other party have that would make a true god plead in such a tone?
At this moment, the red line in the air suddenly shook and quickly formed two words.
"Be careful"
This time, the red line didn't even have time to form punctuation marks before it suddenly dissipated into the air.
Before Miyamizu Mitsuha and Amano Haruna could react, they heard dense footsteps coming from all directions.
"Are you here..."
Ye Xing looked at the hundreds of evil spirits hidden in the rain, whose true faces could not be seen clearly, with only distorted pupils showing, and a long-lost excitement appeared in his eyes.
"It's delivered to my door, which saves me a lot of effort."
200 The Evil God's Lightning Attack, Amano Haruna's True Heart
Seeing the hundreds of evil spirits with twisted and hideous pupils staring at them in the heavy rain, and the dead silence and depression in the air with no other sound except the sound of rain falling, Mitsuha Miyamizu and Haruna Amano's faces changed.
Although one of them is the heiress of a long-standing family of miko, and the other is a child of weather who can control the rain and clear weather in the entire city through prayer, neither of them has the ability to deal with evil spirits.
What's more, this is not just one evil spirit.
