At Jiuyuan, everyone tacitly watched TV and kept silent. The atmosphere had fallen to the lowest point - this was exactly the atmosphere he wanted to see.

It was not until the scene on TV ended and both parties disappeared behind the screen that Dazai sighed and said, "It's gone."

He was simply one of the audience members who felt sorry that the show was over.

"Hashiya-sama is about to come back." Oda Sakunosuke looked towards the entrance and actually calculated the time very seriously.

Kagome joined the conversation, "Hanako-kun has gone to pick him up."

The only one who remained silent was Jiuyuan.

He stared at the black screen, seemingly thinking about something.

Among all the people present, only Morofushi Jingguang did not understand the situation at all. It was precisely because of this that he asked questions without too many reservations.

"The fox demon named Gin just now... is he someone you know?"

The "you" he mentioned naturally refers to Jiuyuan and the others.

The young man came back to his senses as if waking from a dream, nodded and said: "Yes, Yin is a celestial fox... I don't know anything more."

Dazai was thinking in his mind: Why?

Whether it was the Snow Man or the Slit-Mouth Man in the past, Jiu Yuan had some information about them, but when it came to the Fox Demon, his answers were so vague.

Is the information concealed intentionally?

Or does he really not know?

Dazai is more inclined to the latter - it was mentioned earlier that below the master and above Yukio and Hanako, there is a capable assistant of the master, and today it seems that it is the newly appeared Gin.

Kuen seems to be more familiar with the monsters on Yukio's level, and it seems that he has little chance of contact with Gin.

Dazai asked, "As long as the monsters under the master don't kill each other, Miss Gin won't show up, right?"

“——That’s it.”

A clear childish voice rang out. It was Hanako. Behind him was the still somewhat listless Hachishaku-sama, and Gin, who had brought up a lot of fuss.

"It's just such a shabby old house... I have to say that you are too careless."

As soon as Ayin arrived, she brought her soft Kyoto accent into the house. She smiled at Jiuyuan beside her as a greeting.

When he found that the house was full, he raised his eyebrows and said with emotion: "...Oh, there are still so many guests? It seems that your life is very busy these days."

This made Dazai narrow his eyes - she referred to others as guests, as if she naturally regarded herself as the owner of this house.

Gin's attitude towards Kuen was strange, and everyone felt it.

Jiuyuan still greeted her in a friendly manner and asked, "Would you like a cup of tea?"

"Then I won't be polite." After saying that, she sat down easily on the round chair, rolled up her sleeves with one hand to expose her arms, and then adjusted herself into a comfortable posture. She seemed to be curious about the living environment of Jiuyuan. She moved her eyes around, looking at the furniture and layout around.

He is frowning, and it seems that he is not satisfied with the environment, just like a parent checking the living environment of his child living alone.

Hanako poured her a cup of tea with a frown on her face, and Hachiko saw that Gin was not going to leave, so he went upstairs directly.

"It seems that I am not welcome here." Ah Yin laughed loudly, "Have you been having fun recently?"

Jiuyuan tilted his head and looked at her: "?"

Yin's eyes fell on everyone in the room, and no one could escape her sight.

"...Heh." Ah Yin only took a sip of tea and smiled faintly, "So that's how it is. The people around you are so extraordinary. No wonder you have aroused more 'resonance'. Is this also fate?"

Yin's mysterious look made everyone present start to guess what the new word "resonance" meant.

Xia Yujie held his chin and began to think about what impact these people could have on Jiuyuan.

First of all, is whether they have anything in common - although this is not a good thing to say, he can probably guess it.

Among the four people, he and Oda Sakunosuke have both done things stained with human blood, which accounts for almost half of the total number. Will this affect Hisaen?

(Speaking of which… I seem to have heard them talk about karma. Is it because our karma has an impact on him?)

Since Geto didn't know Dazai's situation, he was only 50% sure.

And Dazai was almost 100% sure that this had something to do with it.

Thinking of Kuen's abnormal behavior just now, and the cold words he completely forgot he said afterwards...Dazai had many guesses, such as 'Is there another personality in Kuen's body that is completely opposite to the current personality', 'Because of the exposure to negative emotions and the dark side, the opposite personality revived', 'Is it the master who did something in Kuen's body', etc.

(No, it’s more than that—)

(If the master behind the scenes already knew that Jiuyuan had problems, then was his "generous" agreement to let Jiuyuan be free for a period of time to pursue his so-called dream a calculation of the master?)

(The master cannot fail to understand the character of his subordinates. The master knows that Yukio and his men will definitely try their best to stop Kuen's actions... and Kuen's only unshakable partner is Hanako. From the beginning, their chips are weaker than Yukio's, so they will try their best to expand their chips...)

Thinking of this, Dazai already understood everything.

The master has long known that Jiuyuan will have to come into contact with the "evil thoughts" from humans.

(Then, the conclusion that can be deduced in reverse is: there is something hidden in Kuen's body that needs to be fed with "evil" -)

(Also, the owner needs to feed this monster.)

Jiuyuan thought that the time he had given was enough, and they could stop here. The rest would be left to these people to guess for themselves, and it wouldn't be his fault whether they guessed right or wrong.

So Ah Yin put down her teacup and whispered softly, "However, you are playing outside alone like this... The master is still a little worried about you. I also heard on the way here that you have encountered a lot of things recently."

"——It's time to take off some of your shackles."

Jiuyuan was stunned.

"Chains?"

"Don't worry - just leave everything to me, and everything will be easy soon."

Yin walked up to the boy, tiptoed gently, held his cheeks with both hands, and smiled at him.

The next second, golden light enveloped the two of them, and everyone felt a warm light spreading in the room. Xia Yujie saw that the boy's eyes in the light turned golden red, but in just a second, they regained their original brilliance.

After the light faded, the young man closed his eyes and put his hand on his forehead, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Then, his body swayed and he almost fell, but fortunately A Yin caught him.

Ah Yin looked at everyone with a smile on his face.

"Who of you will take him to his room?"

…

…

After being sent into the room by Morofushi Kagemitsu, Jiuyuan turned over and slept comfortably on his back after hearing the footsteps disappear.

The system was still calculating his reputation in bits and pieces, but his reputation bar had already reached a very high level. A quick glance showed that his reputation was already around 600,000. The achievement bar for reputation was unlocked in stages, and the achievement bar at the front was still a bit foggy. He didn't know what the end was, or what the reward was.

"System."

【System: I am here, I am here. 】

"What's going on, Yin?"

The first time he used the Gin vest, he felt something completely different from all the other Yokai vests.

A purer energy.

A view that provides more information than other vests.

And... a completely different perception of the power that flows through the world.

It’s like suddenly throwing you from 2D into 2.5D. It seems like everything is the same, yet everything is different.

This made him devote more energy to using this vest, but the more he used it, the more mysterious it seemed to him.

[System: Apart from some demon foxes with specific images, the carrier of those nameless legends is almost "Ayin".]

"In other words, apart from the well-known fox demons like Tamamonomae, all those unwritten legends may be the characteristics of Gin..."

Fox legends have been around much longer than modern urban legends, so it is difficult to estimate how many strange characteristics Yin has.

[System: Yes, although Gin appears as a celestial fox, there are too many legends about her. In addition, there are many misconceptions about the image of the fox, such as the misconception that Inari God is equated with foxes... This also leads to Gin also possessing some divinity.]

[System: Compared to ordinary monsters, characters with divine qualities will give you some mysterious experiences, right?]

Jiuyuan thought, it was more than mysterious, he vaguely felt that he would soon be able to go to the mountain to seek the truth.

After using the alias of A Yin, he felt as if his Ren and Du meridians were opened up by someone, and he had some indescribable feelings, but now he couldn't grasp this strange inspiration.

...If this feeling is brought about by experiencing divinity, then, if we visit a shrine and let ourselves be inspired by the surroundings, can we capture that strange feeling more clearly?

Jiuyuan subconsciously felt that this was very important.

Seeing that he ignored her but was not asleep, the system asked curiously: "By the way, Master, what was the significance of your performance of releasing the shackles just now?"

"Yes." Jiuyuan slowly opened the panel, collected all the reputation rewards, and then used the free attribute points to continue to top up his magic power, and also increased his magic.

The system waited for him for a long time. After he finished doing these things, Jiuyuan said: "With so many points added, the power will be much stronger. Use 'Ayin' to unlock 'Huangquanchuan Jiuyuan', and then 'Huangquanchuan Jiuyuan' will be stimulated and gradually release his power."

【System: ... stimulated? 】

Jiuyuan shook his head, with an expression that said, "Why haven't you figured it out yet?" and asked, "--Do you know what the most popular routines are in comics and light novels nowadays?"

The system honestly said, "I don't know."

Jiuyuan pointed to the comics in the room.

"The Dark Hero of Revenge, I was executed as a hero after killing the Demon King, and the Hero was reincarnated as a Demon King."

System: [Has it turned evil…? ]
