"So cool, invincible!"

Brother Luo Shu raised his eyebrows and smiled gently.

With his current strength, it wouldn't be so easy to die in this perilous world.

Outside the window, the bright moon hung in the middle of the sky; it would likely be a long time before dawn.

The youth fell into thought, considering whether to play a game to kill time.

"Beep, beep, beep—."

By his pillow, his iPhone suddenly began to vibrate.

"Hm? Who is messaging me in the middle of the night?"

Brother Luo Shu was somewhat surprised, then picked up the phone and pressed the button on the left.

The screen lit up instantly, and the social app LINE was flashing continuously.

He curiously tapped in to look; the other party's avatar was a high school girl in a sailor uniform. She was one of the clients who had added him after a fortune-telling session that day. She had sent him four messages in a row, seeming very anxious.

【"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."】

【"Master Luo, save, save, save, save me!!"】

【"An evil spirit is going to kill me!!"】

【1 person is sharing their real-time location.】

—Message source, Higurashi Kagome.

"?"

Seeing the message, Brother Luo Shu was stunned for a moment.

Doesn't your house have a Bone-Eating Well that monsters crawl out of? Where did an evil spirit come from?

... Did she just have bad luck and run into one?

Without too much hesitation, Brother Luo Shu walked while thinking, running toward the shared location.

He didn't mind saving a girl while he was at it.

But if the evil spirit was too powerful, he would also abandon the girl and run away at light speed.

17. Replicating a Classic Scene, Carrying the Beauty Under the Moonlight!

In the firmament, the bright moon hung high, casting a layer of silver plating on the ground.

Chiba City, the Great Sawtooth Mountain Forest.

An evil spirit like a skyscraper roared; its head and chest had four pairs of long legs, with sharp hooked claws at the ends.

It resembled a sea spider, its five compound eyes on its brown back rolling around, looking at the tiny person running for their life ahead, its eyes full of greed and desire.

The beautiful light within the other party's body was constantly calling to it.

Eating her would definitely allow it to achieve a higher evolution!

"Boom, boom, boom...!!"

Countless lush ancient trees fell, the aftermath stirring up waves of terrifying air.

This behemoth rampaged in excitement during the chase; the ground it trampled formed deep hundred-meter gullies, each footprint like a natural rift valley, dust filling the air and shrouding thousands of meters along the way.

Without a doubt, this was a terrifying evil spirit that had reached A-rank. It not only possessed super-strong spiritual power but could also freely command lower-level evil spirits.

Whenever an evil spirit of this rank appeared, it often triggered a ghost disaster in human cities.

In Japan, only the personnel of the Tokyo Metropolitan Disaster Prevention Bureau had the confidence to suppress an A-rank evil spirit.

If nothing unexpected happened, Chiba City did not have enough demon-slaying personnel to suppress it.

In the distance.

The tiny person ran for their life, cursing while running.

"Damn big spider, still chasing me!!"

As the earth shook continuously, Higurashi Kagome gritted her teeth to steady herself and escape.

She couldn't understand why, given that she was so small she wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in its teeth, this behemoth still insisted on following her; the situation was just like the monsters in Journey to the West seeing Tang Monk meat.

Could it be that by eating her, this monster could achieve immortality?

It was truly absurd—absurd to the extreme!

"Huff... huff, huff..."

At the edge of a cliff, Kagome panted heavily; even though her brain was blank from lack of oxygen, she couldn't stop.

Under the life-and-death crisis, adrenaline began to secrete, and blood circulation accelerated.

In the desperate situation where she couldn't stop, she had already started to let her imagination run wild.

Would Master Luo come if he saw the message?

Had he seen the message she sent?

It was so late... he should be asleep, right?

As a fortune teller, he didn't have any combat ability, did he?

Even if he arrived in time, he wouldn't be able to defeat this kind of super-large monster, right?

If he could beat it, wouldn't he be a human Ultraman!

"Boom, boom, boom...!"

Accompanied by the earth shaking and a deafening roar that resounded in her ears, the sea spider evil spirit had already caught up.

"Hiss, hiss~"

This behemoth lowered its head, the five pairs of compound eyes on its back full of greed, looking down at the tiny person.

Drops of green drool dripped from its mouth, making a "sizzle" sound of corrosion as they hit the ground; under Kagome's hair-raising gaze, the hard natural granite instantly weathered, scattering into powder.

If she were eaten into its stomach, how would that be any different from taking a sulfuric acid bath?

She widened her beautiful eyes, looking at this monster in fear, but the girl, knowing there was no hope of escape, forced herself to calm down after a split second, took a deep breath, and her gaze gradually changed from fear to determination.

"Goodbye, Grandpa..."

"Goodbye, Dad..."

"Goodbye, Mom..."

"Goodbye, Souta..."

In an instant, a violent wind blew, and space seemed to be pierced.

The A-rank evil spirit roared, and six hideous chelicerae as tall as buildings fell together.

Kagome closed her eyes full of attachment, put her hands together in front of her chest, her feet retreated rapidly, and she jumped backward off the cliff in an instant.

In the biting cold wind, she remembered being led by the hand by her grandfather to buy candied haws as a child, remembered her mother gently patting her shoulder and teasingly saying her daughter had finally grown up, and also remembered Souta affectionately calling her sister...

Her ordinary and happy life replayed in her mind like a flash.

My life...

Has it stopped here...

The girl trembled her eyelashes, entrusting her regrets to the wind, and let herself fall.

In a trance, it seemed that a pair of slender and warm hands held her in their arms...

It felt like being in a room in winter, with a candle flame burning, very warm...

It was just like a dream.

The girl subconsciously hugged tighter, holding on for dear life, unwilling to let go.

However, a rather familiar teasing voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"Hello~ Miss Higurashi, we meet again."

"Ah, eh... eh, eh, eh, eh, eh, eh?!"

The dark clouds shrouding above suddenly dispersed, and the bright moonlight fell, shining on that figure dressed in moon-white feather robes, whose temperament was like an exiled immortal, further highlighting a bit of the eerie quality of both immortal and demon.

Higurashi Kagome opened her eyes in astonishment, finding herself lying in the other party's arms.

The feather-robed youth was saving her in a princess carry, and that handsome face was currently wearing a gentle smile, with a faint sense of unseriousness.

It truly matched that beautiful poem: The person on the path is like jade, the young master is peerless.

Had she been saved?

Kagome was dazed, only this thought echoing in her mind.
