Chapter 1594: The Visible Miko, the World Beyond the Oregairu Worldview

"Are you okay?" he asked tentatively.

"I am fine."

The girl slowly turned her head, her face still pale, but her eyes contained a complex emotion that Hikigaya Hachiman could not understand.

"Just thought it was that."

She paused, looking over Hikigaya Hachiman's shoulder.

"I didn't expect it wasn't."

Hikigaya Hachiman subconsciously turned his head back, but still saw nothing. However, when he turned back, he found that the girl was looking at him with a strange look.

"Are you consciously following me because you can see them too?"

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned. He noticed that the girl's eyes suddenly lit up. He was very familiar with that light - it was the hope of a lonely person when he finally found a companion.

Her pupils dilated slightly and her lips pursed unconsciously, as if she was expecting something.

Hikigaya Hachiman was stunned. He noticed that the girl's eyes suddenly lit up. He was very familiar with that light - it was the hope of a lonely person when he finally found a companion. Her pupils dilated slightly and her lips pursed unconsciously, as if she was expecting something.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the gap above the alley, casting mottled light and shadows on the girl's face. Hikigaya Hachiman saw that her fingers were tightly clenching the hem of her skirt, her knuckles were white, and her whole body was in a tense state.

"I"

Hikigaya Hachiman opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer. He could see the light in the girl's eyes slowly dimming, like a candle that was about to go out.

"really."

The girl lowered her head, a hint of self-mockery in her voice.

"I was too naive."

The boy in front of him opened his mouth but didn't know how to answer. Jianzi could see the confusion in his eyes, and he could also see his own reflection in his pupils - a poor guy who was about to collapse.

really
She lowered her head, a hint of self-mockery in her voice.

"I was too naive."

Hope was shattered again. Jianzi felt her heart beating violently in her chest and her ears buzzing. She had never been so desperate.

Everything was fine at the beginning. She was just an ordinary high school girl, going to school and going home from school every day, chatting with friends, and occasionally going to the convenience store to buy snacks. Until that morning, when she opened her eyes, the world became strange.

Every corner of the city is filled with those things. They float in the air, curl up in the shadows, and cling to pedestrians. They have some consciousness, but most of the time they just mechanically repeat: "Can you see it? Can you see it?"

But no one can see them.

Except for her.

Jianzi didn't know what would happen if they found out that she could see, but it would definitely not be a good thing. She remembered the fear she felt when she first looked into their eyes, the chill that penetrated deep into her bones. She hadn't had a good night's sleep in a long time.

When she was on the bus, an evil spirit was hovering beside her. Its twisted face was almost touching hers, and the smell of decay was overwhelming. It kept asking the passengers around it: "Can you see it? Can you see it?"

But no one responded.

She could only hold her phone tightly and pretend that she saw nothing. Her back was soaked with cold sweat and her breathing became rapid, but she did not dare to show any abnormality. She knew that once discovered, death might be waiting for her, or even a fate more terrible than death.

And now, this boy who is following her
Jianzi raised her head, thinking that he could see the evil spirits just like her, but it turned out that he only noticed the change in her expression and discovered something. Did he run over out of curiosity and worry?

"You go."

“Being an ordinary person is actually a very happy thing.”

“I have never thought so deeply in a day.”

Jianzi turned and ran, her vision blurred by tears. She didn't know how long she could hold on, nor did she know when this kind of life would end. She just wanted to go back to the past, back to that ordinary world, and be an ordinary girl.

But she also knew that might no longer be possible.

"and many more!"

Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly shouted.

"I don't have a solution, but someone can! Give me some time!"

Jianzi stopped and looked back at him. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Hikigaya Hachiman had closed his eyes and his consciousness sank into the chat group.

A Genius Among the Loners: "It's confirmed, this girl can indeed see things that I can't."

A genius among loners: "The loneliness and despair in her eyes are definitely not fake!"

A Genius Among the Loners: "Do you have any way to make me see things that normal people can't see?"

A genius among loners: "And in the process, I can destroy them."

Because he himself had experienced loneliness, Hikigaya Hachiman could understand the emotions in the girl's eyes better than ordinary people. Even though their loneliness was completely different, the emotion was the same.

So even though he couldn't see anything, he was willing to believe the girl.

The only pity is that I have too few points. Even though I have accumulated some points since I joined the chat group because of the sign-in function, it is highly likely that I will not be able to buy anything if I want to buy extraordinary items.

I can only hope they can recommend something cheaper, if not then I'll just have to owe the money.

If his world really isn't the everyday world, then it shouldn't be that difficult to gain points in his world.

Ordinary group leader: "If there really is something that ordinary people can't see, is it a ghost?"

Ordinary group leader: "But there shouldn't be vengeful spirits in your world. Isn't it just the Oregairu worldview? There are other worlds as well?"

Ordinary group leader: "Forget it, if it is a vengeful spirit, either Uncle Jiu's spell or my holy light can solve it."

Ordinary group leader: "I suggest you buy Uncle Jiu's talisman, it's cheap and highly targeted."

Ordinary group owner: “Well, mainly because it’s cheap.”

Uncle Jiu’s talismans are indeed cheap. Basically, you can buy one for one point. It is considered the cheapest extraordinary item.

However, it only targets "yin objects" and "evil objects" and is of no use to normal people.

If there really are vengeful spirits in Hachiman Hikigaya's world, then you can buy a talisman that can open the Yin-Yang eyes, and then buy some talismans that can provide defense.

Ordinary group owner: "But I'm not sure if it will work."

Ordinary group owner: "If it doesn't work, please go online and tell me, I'll go to your world and take a look."

Ordinary group owner: "But it should work."

Ordinary group owner: "But if they really exist, why don't they attack other people? It's impossible that only people who can see them will be attacked? And there is still no way to determine whether humans can see their type through conventional means?"

Ordinary group owner: "Hmm? Why does this setting seem familiar?"

As Su Yunqing was talking, she suddenly felt a little strange. Why did this setting seem so familiar? It was like an anime she had watched in her previous life.

A visible girl? A visible son?
It seems to be the name.

Could it be that Hikigaya Hachiman's world and Miko's world have merged?

Su Yunqing was stunned, but Hikigaya Hachiman was not. After getting the answer he wanted in the chat group, he couldn't wait to buy a talisman that could open the Yin-Yang Eyes, as well as several talismans to eliminate ordinary ghosts in the group mall. He took a deep breath and stuck the talisman on his forehead.

A cool feeling came from his forehead, Hikigaya Hachiman blinked and looked around.

“Nothing.”

He said somewhat disappointedly.

When Jianzi heard his words, her body trembled violently. She turned around and looked at Hikigaya Hachiman with an unbelievable look.

"What method did you really use to be able to see?"

Hikigaya Hachiman nodded:

"Although I haven't seen anything yet, there shouldn't be any problem."

"By the way, the reason you came to this alley is because there is nothing in this alley?"

"No wonder I didn't see it."

Hikigaya Hachiman seemed a little dazed.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Jianzi's eyes. She hesitated for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Hikigaya Hachiman's sleeve: "Come with me."

The two walked out of the alley and came to the street outside. The sun had already set and the dim street lights were on. Hikigaya Hachiman suddenly felt a chill and he subconsciously turned his head to look at a convenience store across the street.

His pupils suddenly contracted and his breathing almost stopped.

At the door of the convenience store, a distorted figure was wandering. It was a man in a tattered suit, if he could still be called a "person".

His neck was twisted at a strange angle, and his face was covered with cracks, like a piece of porcelain that had been broken and then pieced together again. The most terrifying thing was his eyes - there were no pupils, only two pitch-black holes, with black liquid seeming to flow inside.

The "thing" mechanically repeated: "Can you see it? Can you see it?" The voice seemed to come from far away, yet it seemed to be right next to my ear.

Hikigaya Hachiman felt his legs trembling. Even though he had been a member of the chat group for such a long time and had watched so many memory copies, there were many more terrifying than this. But even if watching the copies was immersive, it was still different from facing them in person.

He wouldn't be in danger when looking at the memory copy, but this is real.

Perhaps it was because Hikigaya Hachiman's gaze was a little conspicuous, that "thing" seemed to have noticed something and slowly turned its head, looking in their direction with its dark "eyes".

Jianzi immediately pulled him to hide behind a vending machine on the side of the road. Hikigaya Hachiman felt his back was soaked with cold sweat, and he could hear his own violent heartbeat.

"Do you believe it now?"

Jianzi whispered, her voice holding a hint of bitterness, yet also a hint of relief.

Judging from the other party's reaction, he should really be able to see it.

“This is my daily routine.”

Hikigaya Hachiman took a deep breath, trying to calm his pounding heart. He took out another talisman from his pocket. This was a ghost-exorcising talisman from Uncle Nine's world.

"Maybe. We can try this."

He whispered, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.

Jianzi looked at the talisman with a glimmer of hope in his eyes: "Will it work?"

"You have to give it a try, don't you?"

Hikigaya Hachiman clenched the talisman.

At this moment, the twisted figure had crossed the street and was walking towards the vending machine where they were hiding. It tilted its neck, stared at this direction with its dark eyes, and kept muttering: "Can you see it?" "Can you see it?"

Jianzi's body began to tremble. She grabbed Hikigaya Hachiman's sleeve tightly and cried, "It found out. It found out."

Hikigaya Hachiman felt his heart beating so fast that it was almost jumping out of his chest. He even felt that he could smell a rotten smell getting closer and closer. The smell reminded him of the dead rats he had seen in the countryside when he was a child.

After opening the Yin-Yang Eyes, can you not only see with your eyes, but also smell the breath of evil spirits with your nose?
The effect doesn’t need to be so strong!

The evil spirit had already walked to the side of the vending machine, it bent down, and its broken face was almost touching Hikigaya Hachiman's face. Hikigaya Hachiman could clearly see every crack on its face and the black substance squirming inside.

"Can you see it?" The evil spirit's voice sounded beside his ears, and the cold breath sprayed on Hikigaya Hachiman's face.

Miko subconsciously shrank behind Hikigaya Hachiman. This movement made the evil spirit suddenly freeze. It slowly turned its head and stared at Miko with its dark eyes.

"You can see it." The evil spirit's voice suddenly became excited, and a twisted smile appeared on his broken face.

"You can see it!"

Its body began to twist violently, black liquid oozed out of the cracks, and its entire body swelled. Hikigaya Hachiman felt the temperature around him drop sharply, and a disgusting stench filled the air.

"It's now!"

Hikigaya Hachiman shouted and raised the talisman violently.

"boom!"

The talisman suddenly burst out with dazzling golden light, and that light hit the evil spirit as if it were real. The evil spirit let out a shrill scream, and its body began to twist and dissolve, like ice and snow exposed to sunlight.

"No, it's impossible." The evil spirit's voice was full of disbelief, "How could you?"

Its body became lighter and lighter, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

Jian Zi stared at this scene blankly, her lips trembling slightly, her eyes full of disbelief: "It really, really works"

Hikigaya Hachiman let out a long sigh, only to find that his back was completely soaked with cold sweat. He looked down at the talisman in his hand and found that the originally bright red cinnabar had turned black.

“It can only be used once.”

He said with a wry smile.

Although I was prepared that this cheap talisman could not be used many times, I was still a little disappointed after seeing it.

After all, although one point per ticket is cheap, it is already quite expensive for him, a member of the daily world group who can only earn points by signing in.

One point can be exchanged for kilograms of gold.
